Hey guys i have a question about furnishing my new home. I have nothing in my new home besides some appliances. I would like to buy bedroom sets, living room sets, and a home theatre set-up, i was wondering what my options were. How does furniture credit work? What are the interest rates? How else could i pay?
thanks
Answer
I would figure out how much money you have and start sale shopping..do some research..check out second hand stores and auctions..do not go to direct buy (rip off)...you have appliances which are a great expense you have just saved on...ikea has good prices..and here, Leon's will do a don't pay for 15 or 18 month sales on approved credit...just look around, make a list of what you need and go from there..you can pick up pieces bit by bit..you can get good deals at furniture places, but read the fine print..you must pay them off before the time runs out.

Why was trotsky murdered with an ice axe?
corner of
Was this supposed to be symbollic or something? Why not a gun or poison? It seems strange to me that one would bring an ice axe to mexico, but I'm asking as I assume there is more to the story than I know.
Answer
It was an Ice axe indeed. The reason is simple. The house that Leon Trotsky bought near Mexico City, in the town of Coyoacan (nowadays it is part of Mexico City) was turn into a fortress.
it is quite easy to read that Stalin had one of his ghouls kill Trotsky, but it was not that simple. Trotsky had strong ties to the Mexican Government, specially to the presindent in office, Lazaro Cardenas. He visited mexico as a representativo of Lenin in the mid-twenties, and as a result when Stalin chased him out of europe, his natural choice was Mexico.
He bought a house, which is still standing on a square piece of land. One of the sides faced a river, Rio Churubusco, the other three faced two streets and an ochard in a very secluded part of a beautiful little town. Many foreigners, and many rich mexicans lived in this area at the time, It was more of a weekend spot, so they kew every person that might be around.
The house was already surrounded by a big wall, being this the custom in mexico for upscale homes, and he transformed it into a fortress. Vigilance towers were built on each corner, four snipers on each one at every time, on 12 hour shifts. the house's walls, built of volcanic stone, were covered with steel plates and then again with brick and mortar, becoming almost 6 feet wide at some points. Four more snipers were perched on the roof at all times, and the garden was attended by two gardeners and 2 assistants, which were in fact bodyguards.
The doors vere bank vault type, made from thick steel plates, and Trotsky's room does not have a window, and the two doors that can open into it, can be shut from the inside with six steel deadbolts each.
Asides from Trotsky's Russian security personnel, Mexican Army's troops patroled arond the block, al day long, non-stop. and the Mexican secret police had the house under surveillance at all times.
Mercader posed as a journalist, he had to gain Trotsky's trust, and he was frisked everytime that he went into the house. At first, the meetings were with Trotsky speaking through a small orifice on his bedroom door, and a bodyguard standing by Mercader on the other side; after several months, and with the intervention of the Mexican Comunist Party, Trotski started to trust in Mercader, and eventually they met for coffee on Trotski's garden every afternoon.
One day Trotsky wanted Mercader to see something he was writing, and invited Mercader to join him in his room, where his working space was set. As Mercader had been frisked and removed of most of his belongings as he came into the house, he looked for a weapon in Trotsky's room, he saw the ice axe, took it from a bookcase, and struck Trotsky's head with it, at least 5 times in the back of the skull.
He tried to flee the scene, only to be shot to death by one of the bodyguards. Leon Trotsky was prompted to a hospital and died almost a week later.
