"great hiltop town over the sea" Sirolo by edwis
Sirolo Travel Guide: 16 reviews and 74 photos
we did ½ day adventures to several hilltop towns, seaside resort towns, and even hiked for 2 hours in a natural reserve park atop Mont Conero. We were up so high that the clouds blocked the view of the sea below. But the trail, we discovered after the walk, is intermediate hiking with rocky paths, steep inclines/declines and the need for hiking boots. We were so tired out that we took a ½ mile path down the cliff to the beach area of Sirolo, which looked inviting. We finally made it, swam and slept under beach umbrellas, before trying the dreaded hike back up to the car. About one block in the climb, a city bus appears to take beach goers back to the city. We were so thankful.

I wish this was real!! would be so much better!
Any chance I could get this file? I'd love to see how you made this (as a student of SketchUp, I could learn so much from seeing how this model was built). Would you mind?
Wow lol, cool interface .)
I am always amazed how you can achieve the edge detail with sketchup.

Is there any plan to adopt shortcodes into this plugin? It would be nice to specify when and where I want related posts.
Is there any plan to adopt shortcodes into this plugin? It would be nice to specify when and where I want related posts.
Sorry, shortcode support is not planned.
thanks for this great plugin.
I do miss the shortcode feature that has been abandoned.
I would love to place "related posts" where I want them to be, depending on length of articles and maybe sometimes "above the fold" to get more reader interaction and reduce bounce rates, which is beneficial for SEO if you use Google analytics.
So I would like to bring this topic back up since you have added the very useful "noyarpp" shortcode in the latest version.
Could you please reconsider your decision and re-introduce the short code feature?
Answer very much appreciated. Thank you.
@wp-fan I don't think there ever was a shortcode. It's something that is difficult for technical reasons (having to do with how the content is filtered in order to get the keywords to compute related posts, and not producing infinite loops) but it's something I may revisit soon. Thanks.
@capson have you tried that with YARPP? I'd be surprised if it didn't have ill effects.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Alot of people in the magazine I got want Villy back...and want Victor to come after Phyllis
If they don't soon put Villy back together and make Phyllis pay for what she did there going to lose a lot more viewers.The fans want Phyllis to pay,she didn't mind calling Victor out so know it's her turn to pay...........I can see where they want Villy back because this Philly thing is sick and the majority of the fans don't want to watch that disgusting gross pairing
Even non-Villy lovers don't want Philly...I want a Villy/Travis triangle because I'm tired of it being made like Victorias only option is Billy

In the previous week, investors picked up more than $3 million worth of Green Dot Corporation (GDOT). The reloadable prepaid debit cards provider's stock crashed form a July 26, 2012 close of $23.32 to $9.06 by the 27th's closing bell. That gets a double $%^# OUCH!
The stock got creamed when the company announced earnings that didn't live up to the Street's expectations and even worse, management lowered forward guidance citing "a greater level of uncertainty going forward in our business as the prepaid marketplace continues to evolve," and "revenues will be negatively impacted by increased competition beginning in the third quarter of 2012." That's the here and now.
[Related -Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) Q3 Earnings Preview: Tricking Or Treating Shareholders On Halloween?]
After the 60% drop, of course, analysts rushed to jump in front of one another with downgrades. Where were they on the 25th of July? Again, the gurus have been a little off target as $9.06 has been the closing low.
Last Wednesday, under the radar for most, CR80news.com reported "Financial services company Sallie Mae has launched a new prepaid debit MasterCard" with Green Dot. The card will help "schools disburse financial aid refunds. The new debit card features student protections and same-day refunds."
[Related -Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) Q2 Earnings Preview: Costs Could Hurt Quarter]
On the news, the stock price gained 11% on nearly three times the average daily volume. The next day, GDOT gave back a bit more than half of the previous day's gains.
From a purely technical standpoint, the stock is trading within the gap down elevator shaft. The spike in volume helps investors identify the potential breakout point for the stock's next leg up, should it come. Short-term, aggressive investors might consider setting their alarms for a price above last Thursday's high of $11.30.
If the stock heads north of its recent news driven high, it could ignite some buying as 15% of the float is sold short. How high? It's not unusual for stocks to retrace losses by three common percentages, 33%, 50% and 67%. That could potentially add $4.70, $7.13 or $7.13 to Green Dot's low of $9.06, putting possible targets at $13.76, $16.19, and $18.46, respectively.
Unless more unexpected news is announced, the next big announcement will be earnings on October 22nd. Then investors will get their first glimpse at how much market share of the prepaid card market Green Dot Corporation (GDOT) lost to the banks. Perhaps, the fall will not be as bad as anticipated, and the upgrades can follow?

It's hard to say when things finally changed for me. All the pieces were there for a long time, waiting to fall into place, but I just wasn't ready to let go and watch them tumble down. The idea of having to put it all behind me scared me. The idea of losing such a close relationship. Of losing something so familiar.
I'm 14 and am constantly hot and bothered and have constant erections. I've been like this for as long as I can remember even when I was little. I find I have to masturbate every 4 to 7 days or I will start to ache when I get a erection. I'm a little worried but I can't exactly discuss this with family or friends because it's embarrassing. I want to know if this is something to see a doctor about or if its fine as it is but any way it would really help if you could give me a reply.
I am from a country where dating is taboo. I was not in a relationship till my early twenties. The following may be hard to understand but I need to talk about it and know why I let this happen to me. It was my first relationship and I had little idea what to expect. Things were fine till my bf learned another man was interested in me and I might be interested in him too. That was the first time he told me he loved me and wanted to marry me. A torrent of emotional abuse followed. He started to tell me things like I was fat (I was not...I was 5'3 and 113 pounds) and not as pretty as his exes. He tried to tell me what to do with my life and how I was not that intelligent. I tried to break up but he wouldn't let me.
I'm 13 and I really need some help. I have been talking to this guy for ages on my phone and texting him. We have Skyped, and I know he might be 'one of those older people who have random children acting for them and they have voice filters' etc, but he has Facebook and I know loads of people who know him, but I just haven't met him. He is really nice and we both wanna meet each other... We decided we were gonna meet and I'm really excited. He says he wants to finger me, and he want me to give him head, that's fine because I have done it before so all's cool. Then when he asked if I wanted to have sex with him, I got creeped. Just need someone to say if I'm doing the right thing or not.
Over the last few weeks, I have been sicker than sicker than sick. I managed to pick up whooping cough, which, combined with other health issues I already have, made my blood pressure dip to a very scary place, to boot. I had already been having some flare-ups from those other issues, so they made the whooping cough worse, it made them worse. Like plenty of uninsured people do, I tried to hold off on healthcare for as long as I could, but eventually had to cave and suck up the big bill so I could get the big meds and also be sure I wasn't, you know, dying or anything.
This combo of illnesses made it impossible for me to do nearly anything, including most work. When you mostly work from home, you can usually work through almost anything, so when you can't even do that, you know it's bad. They've also put some big cramps in my life. For a week or so, the deepest conversations I had with anyone were something to the effect of "More. Tea. Blanket. Ugh," and the most passionate embrace IRead more...
I am 24. I am a virgin. I tried to have sex with my boyfriend. We didn't use condoms. He tried to put it inside of me. I was in pain. He went in a little. I was feeling uncomfortable. He was so angry. I told him, I wasn't ready. He was very angry. He told me to get over it. He is so frustrated. Is there way to get over the pain? Does lube work?
I've been dating my current boyfriend for 5 months now, and I really am ready and willing to have sex. But, he's not. He wants to, and he's curious but he feels that he shouldn't? I don't know what to do, I don't understand why he's feeling this way about it. Is there something wrong with me? Something he's afraid to say? Or is he just really scared himself? Help!
My 15 year old son has a first girlfriend who is a year older. My concern is that she lives with her dad only and quite often is home alone. My son has been there twice already and one time I made him leave because the dad was not home. I am besides myself about how to handle this. He said that he is not going to have sex with her but you know how that goes. I know what I was doing at 15. Do I make condoms available? But that would be condoning it. I will have a talk with the girl about not hanging at her house. They are always welcome at mine and I will try to speak to her dad about it.
im a girl, im 15 and im scared or any kind of sex. (fingerbang, hand job, blow job, or sex) the thing is all of my friends have gone farther than me or have even had sex,i live in a small town so we are always finding things to compete over and this happens to be something all the girls are doing. when i think about being sexually active with my boy friend im okay with it, i actually want to, but when i have the chance to i back out... i think the main reason is i dont know how to do it..
i would really like to plessure my boyfriend and be plessured by him, but i get scared. if you have any ideas or anything i should try to overcome this fear of not doing it right or to loosen up and just relax it would be really appreciated !!!! thanks soo much ! (:

`Delhi govt to bring stringent anti-tobacco laws`
New Delhi: Stressing on the need to increase awarenesses among masses about ill-effects of tobacco, Delhi Health Minister A K Walia Tuesday said the city government will work on enacting stringent laws on tobacco in future.
"We have already taken action against gutka, which has been banned in Delhi and several other parts of the country. But one must also learn that tobacco chewing or smoking can cause mouth cancer. So, everybody should try to avoid these things," said Walia at the sidelines of `Delhi Smiles` - Delhi Health Utsav.
Asked whether Delhi government will advocate stringent laws to prevent people from tobacco chewing and smoking, Walia said, "Yes, we will be working on that. We will work on that but at present we will work only on gutka."
`Delhi Smiles` - Delhi Health Utsav - a programme organised by Maulana Azad Institute of Dental Sciences- also witnessed launch of the pilot project under which two mobile dental check up vans will roam north east district of Delhi for dental check-up and increase awareness among masses about oral cancer.

Moving the prison will hurt the property values of south Salt Lake County. It
will hurt the volunteers working there. It will hurt the employees working there
and take jobs from both Utah County, Salt Lake County and Davis County.
Perhaps it is a realtor's dream, but it is a dumb move and will not happen this year.

I, too, oppose moving the prison. I think the current facility can be renovated
as needed, and improved as new methods and modalities come along on how to treat
and manage those who can't behave. To me the idea of moving the prison is
not about jobs or progress but how to make some of the legislator's family,
friends or associates rich at the public expense.
The cost of transporting prisoners for medical care, legal issues and what ever else will increase proportional to the distance it is moved from the current location. Families of prisoners and custodial staff will be hurt. Who wins? friends of legislators who see a chance to enrich themselves at public expense.

It's a girl!!!!
We already have a 3 year old boy and were wishing to have a little pink added to our lives. I have 3 nephews and 1 niece! And nannyed for 3 other boys in addition to my son for the last 2.5 years!!!!!
Scary news... the ultrasound tech saw a bright spot on baby's bowel. Everything else looks fine, NT scan was clear, baby is kicking away, and I tested negative for cystic fibrosis. So I have a follow up ultrasound on 12/21 and for now and trying to just focus on happy news and sugar and spice and not worry until I know for sure that there is a reason to worry!
Words of encouragement or experience in dealing with echogenic bowel are much appreciated!!!!!

Siri Is a Gimmick and a Tease
But Google Voice Search is getting close to fulfilling Apple's broken promise.
But the best thing about Google Voice Search is that she's overflowing with knowledge. Many times she'll answer your questions with exactly the right answer. Other times she won't speak but will at least give you a search page full of answers, almost always correct ones. That's better than Siri's way of coping with her own ignorance—she'll either apologetically explain that she doesn't know, or she'll sometimes ask you if you'd like her to search the Web for you, which is a stupid question. (She should just search the Web if she has no better answer.)
Here is a list of questions that Google Voice Search correctly answered and Siri botched:
- Who is Apple's CEO?
- Who is Google's CEO?
- Who is Mitt Romney's wife?
- Who's the manager of the Yankees?
- How long is the Golden Gate Bridge?
- When did Disneyland open?
- Who founded Twitter?
You'll notice a theme here: They're all looking for specific factual answers. Siri can answer such queries too, but its expertise is limited. That's due to a fundamental difference in how the two systems work. Siri is a "curated" experience—it draws its answers from specific sources that Apple has signed deals with. For instance, if you ask Siri about Barack Obama's age, she'll give you an answer from Wolfram Alpha.
Google Voice Search is more flexible. It derives its expertise from the "Knowledge Graph," which is Google's database of 500 million things it knows about the world. Google's database is dynamic—its facts are constantly being dredged up by Google's Web crawlers. That's why when I ask Google, "Who founded Instagram?" it understands my question—even though Instagram is a relatively new company, and its founder is far from a household name, there's enough on the Web for Google's Knowledge Graph to know that "Instagram" is a company, and that it was founded by Kevin Systrom. (Siri offers to search the Web for that question.)
Last week I met with Scott Huffman, one of the engineering directors on Google's search team. Huffman explained that the Knowledge Graph is just one of four technologies underpinning Voice Search. The others are the firm's expertise at processing "natural language queries," its speech recognition system, and its "core rankings" algorithm—the system that decides the order of your search results. These four technologies there are all an outgrowth of Google's search engine. They depend on collecting and analyzing data at a massive scale in order to teach computers to understand the world the way humans do. That process—deriving intelligence from information—is a core part of Google's mission as a company. It is not a part of Apple's. And that's why Google's voice app is destined to become your everyday assistant. You'll use it for the same reason you use Google's search engine: It knows everything.
I asked Huffman to describe Google's long-term vision of voice search—what is it trying to build? He invoked the computer on Star Trek—something that you can talk to like you would another person, than can help guide you through a decision. "You would ask, 'Hey Google, where should I have dinner?' " Huffman says. "And it might say, 'Well, you seem to like Italian restaurants, so how about this one.' And then you'll say, 'Well, I don't want to go all the way over there—are there any new places that I haven't been to yet?' " In the end you might get to the same restaurant that you'd find after a few minutes with Google's Web search engine, but the voice interface would make the experience feel more natural, like you're speaking with an intelligent being who knows you.
Google Voice Search isn't close to realizing that vision, but it's not impossibly far off either. Huffman points out that Google's app can already hold very small conversations. It understands pronouns, so if you ask, "Who is Barack Obama?" and then ask, "Who is his wife?", it knows that his refers to Obama. And most important, it gives you the correct answer.
I just tried the same set of queries with Siri. First, she correctly identified the president. But when I asked, "Who is his wife?" she shot back, "What is your wife's name?" That's not what I asked. Actually, it's really, really far off. And there aren't any signs that Apple's voice assistant is going to get much closer any time soon.

Best alternative to regular protein shake
This is an easy way to get protein into the system. It is not just for athletes. I use it as a protein supplement, because I dont think my vegetarian way of eating provides enough protein. I also give it to my aging, ailing mom, shes at an age that she does not eat enough so this keeps her well nourished and I can see the positive effects on her.
The product does taste very strong, must dilute it with juice or something.
Been taken every day for 3 years, I do 3-5 day week gym work out and feel great !

The author, far left, with Guns N' Roses. Duff McKagan's column runs every Thursday on Reverb. Every Monday Duff writes about what's on his iPod.
A couple of months back, I wrote that I was going to test little bits and pieces of a potential book I may write. If I do enough of these tests, who knows? I may just have the start of a larger work. To make things coherent and in context, I will present things here in a broader sense. Think of it as an outline. Here goes another installment.
The author, far left, with Guns N' Roses. Duff McKagan's column runs every Thursday on Reverb. Every Monday Duff writes about what's on his iPod.
The memories I have of the mid-to-late-'80s Hollywood rock scene do not necessarily include bands that may pop into one's mind. My band, Guns N' Roses, and the close network of friends that we kept, were a ragtag bunch of outcasts that remained rather insulated and kept to ourselves during this period. We had little in common with the popular L.A. bands then. Though parts of this story may seem a bit dark, this period of my life was one of the funnest and most profound. It also contained many strong elements of a young man's rite of passage, including a loss of innocence in many respects and facing mortality as a result of losing close friends to overdoses. Maybe not the usual rites of passage, but at the time these life hurdles seemed normal.
I packed my bags and cut my ties with my hometown of Seattle in September 1984. The idea of driving to New York in my beat-up 1971 Ford Maverick became moot as soon as I realized that, on a budget of $360, the East Coast was just too far away. I decided Los Angeles was a safer place for me than the heroin-infested punk scene of the Pacific Northwest. I was badly mistaken.
There was really no discernible rock scene there in the fall of '84--only the palpable hangover of a once-thriving punk movement, mixed with "cow-punk" and really bad heavy metal (Metallica had just moved back to S.F.). I met Slash and Steven Adler shortly after my move, through a "musicians wanted" ad I saw in a newspaper. Izzy Stradlin moved into an apartment across the street from me. (We lived on one of the most drug-infested lanes in Hollywood, visited nightly by dealers, hookers, and cops. Stories of this street alone would make a GREAT book.) Axl, a childhood friend of Izzy's, soon moved in around the corner in our cheap-rent neighborhood. We formed our band shortly thereafter, a happy bunch of malcontents!
My new musical comrades and I shared an uncanny similarity in the "fuck-everyone-except-us" approach to writing, playing, and living our music. We sought to do this thing on our own terms and in our own way. This was simply a way of life. At that point in life, you've just got nothing to lose . . . a relatable point to anyone reading, I am sure.
The first gigs we got back then were with bands like Social Distortion, Tex and the Horseheads, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The "glam" scene across town seemed to be a private club that had some mysterious secret handshake. The Troubadour was always packed on weekends. At the time, I think that we were thought of as a little too dirty to get an opening slot on those most-coveted Friday and Saturday night bills. We would have to get there on our own.
Our social circle soon included a group of recently transplanted New Yorkers who moved out West to--I always suspected--escape legal problems. "Red" Ed, Petey, and Del melded nicely into our lifestyle, which included 24-hour alcohol consumption, scoring any available drugs, sundry debauchery, and plenty of Rolling Stones, Motorhead, Sly and the Family Stone, and Rose Tattoo (Sly lived in the apartment right above me, as it turned out, but that's another story). West Arkeen was another co-conspirator who became valuable not only for his friendship but for his songwriting. West co-wrote "It's So Easy," which became a dark anthem for a legion of disenfranchised youth. West died a few short years later from complications stemming from acute crack and heroin use.
In 1985-86, AIDS was definitely something to think about, but not a huge threat yet in the hetrosexual psyche. The scene in Hollywood became an orgy of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. Perhaps there has been no other time in recent history when the doors were so wide open to EVERYTHING. Needles were shared as well as girlfriends and boyfriends. Everyone seemed to be living in and for the moment, and it seemed as if nothing was off-limits. A real feeling of camaraderie was felt within our band and small group of friends. "Live fast and die young" was our unspoken credo. Sounds corny now.
Our living and rehearsal arrangements became one and the same as we became closer-knit. We found a 10x14 foot bathroom-less space behind the Hollywood Guitar Center that became the center of our musical universe and HQ for all things hedonistic. We raided a nearby construction site for some two-by-fours and plywood that we used to install a ramshackle sleeping loft in our tiny new home. We rehearsed twice daily in this space. For $1.29 a bottle, we could supply ourselves with enough Night Train wine to get us by. Food was always optional in those days.
We slowly began to be a draw at local clubs, and our song craftsmanship really started to get a solid base. We were soon on weekend bills as opening slots gave way to headlining. A&R staff from major labels started to pop up at gigs, and our shows were now selling out. We settled on a record deal with Geffen Records that gave us free rein as far as artistic freedom went. At the end of the day, no one was going to tell us how to make our record. Our songs were by far the most important thing to us.
To be continued.....

Wednesday, Sept. 29
15 minutes before Arcade Fire took the KeyArena stage on Wednesday night, two men bellied up to a pair of urinals, unzipped, and started discussing the cups of beer that got them there. "How do I know if this cup is compostable or recyclable?" one man asked his friend.
90 minutes later, just before the Montreal-based kings and queens of Stateside indie rock wrapped up their set, frontman Win Butler announced that the night's show was particularly special because a dollar from every ticket sold was going to Partners In Health, a non-profit benefiting relief work in Haiti. The audience responded to this proclamation with loud cheers of self-congratulation.
Arcade Fire is the largest musical component of a movement that far transcends notes on a keyboard and strings on a guitar. It's a movement -- or at least a following -- of "Modern Kids," to borrow a Butler term, that wants to know that their beef was happy before it was slaughtered, that cares that the cup they drank their Bud Light from meets an appropriate afterlife, and that wants to feel as though they're not acting selfishly by purchasing a ticket to a rock concert, but are donating part of their disposable income to help the homeless and the hungry. That Arcade Fire is playing--if not coming close to filling--arenas is as much an indication of the growth of the movement as it is the growth of a fanbase specific to the band. At least in this town.
There are few bands on the road today that match the emotional intensity of Arcade Fire, a fact that was demonstrated the moment they opened up with "Ready to Start." All eight members--constantly rotating among instruments like drums (there were two sets), tambourine, keyboard, violin, and organ--behaved as though they'd just been tapped to play Santa in the wings during a Flaming Lips concert, and were on stage in uniform for the first time. At times it's exhilarating. At others, you pick up a taste of overacting.
Laura Musselman
Like on record -- including their latest social stinger, The Suburbs--AF's songs build with anxiety to cinematic levels and climactic finishes. But while the songs on record are pieced together into a seamless opus, with one exception, the octet followed each song Wednesday night with an uncomfortable break; to tune, change positions, and swap instruments. There were no strategic transitions to speak of, and all momentum was diffused between cuts.
Still, the corps certainly hasn't lost their flare for showmanship, or their knack for melodrama. Favorites like "Wake Up" and "Rebellion (Lies)" had the crowd chanting and clapping along. They can still nail their old standbys, but the show felt a lot like a club set, only without the warmth and intimacy that four tight walls and a bar can provide. The band is still learning how to play the new songs, and adapt to their surroundings.
The sooner they realize that folks don't show up at arena show to listen to the eccentricities of a guitar line or to pick at the sour notes from the mandolin, they sooner they can get started on sharpening their set for larger rooms. Arena shows are tribal gatherings. They're meant for maximum sensory overload, singalongs, and, in Seattle, plenty of standing still and folding of arms.
"For the birthplace of grunge," Butler noted at one point, "you're pretty fucking polite."
Polite enough to recycle. And compost, too.
Reporter's Notebook:
Laura Musselman
Personal Bias: I two quarter pounders from McDonalds before the show. Wish I'd had a third.
BTW: When Butler sang, "Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight," during "Month of May," I looked down and noticed that, yes, my arms were indeed folded tight.

Jim Cole, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Is regulation strangling the American entrepreneur? Several Republican presidential candidates say so. The numbers don't.
The anti-regulatory fervor was in evidence Tuesday night in the latest GOP debate, but rhetorical flourishes, on that and other issues, masked far more complex realities.
A look at some of the claims and how they compare with the facts.
MITT ROMNEY: "All of the Obama regulations, we say no. It costs jobs."
RICK PERRY: Regulations "are strangling the American entrepreneurship out there."
RICK SANTORUM: "Repeal every regulation the Obama administration put in place."
THE FACTS: Labor Department data show that only a tiny percentage of companies that experience large layoffs cite government regulation as the reason. Since Barack Obama took office, just two-tenths of 1 percent of layoffs have been due to government regulation, the data show.
Businesses frequently complain about regulation, but there is little evidence that it is any worse now than in the past or that it is costing significant numbers of jobs. Most economists believe there is a simpler explanation: Companies aren't hiring because there isn't enough consumer demand.
The conservative National Federation of Independent Business asks its small-business membership each month to name the single most important problem they're facing. Last month, the most common response was "poor sales," cited by 28 percent. Government regulation came in second, at 18 percent.
Concerns over regulation have increased in the past two years — only 11 percent cited it in April 2009, not long after Obama entered the White House. But the rise hasn't been outside historical norms. More small businesses complained about regulation during the administrations of President Bill Clinton and the President George H.W. Bush, according to an analysis of the federation's data by the liberal Economic Policy Institute.
High levels of economic uncertainty are another drag on business, but economists say that's less due to regulation than to fights over government spending and taxes. Both consumer and business confidence fell in August, for example, as the White House and Congress wrangled over the nation's borrowing limit. But that was a bipartisan dispute that can't be solely pinned on Obama.
REP. MICHELE BACHMANN: "We have a big problem today when it comes to Medicare, because we know that nine years from now, the Medicare hospital Part B Trust Fund is going to be dead flat broke." She also charged that "President Obama plans for Medicare to collapse, and instead everyone will be pushed into Obamacare."
THE FACTS: Bachmann is mixing up Medicare while exaggerating the danger of insolvency.
Part B is not for hospital payments, but for outpatient care, and it's technically impossible for that part of Medicare to go broke because it is financed by the federal government's general fund and by beneficiary premiums. Medicare's Part A is the hospital trust fund, and it is now projected to become insolvent in 2024, 13 years in the future. Even then it would be able to pay 90 percent of its obligations, a far cry from "dead flat broke."
When the fund has been threatened in the past, Congress has come through with changes that restrained program growth, largely by cutting provider payments.
There is no evidence to support her charge that Obama plans for Medicare to collapse; his health care law envisions nothing like that. In fact, a Republican budget that Bachmann voted for would make far larger changes to the program for the next generation, converting it to a voucher-like system.
HERMAN CAIN: Repeatedly touted his 9-9-9 tax plan as a "bold" overhaul of the tax code that would get the economy back on track, and be embraced by the nation.

I'm so excited!!! I got my potty in the mail yesterday and tried it a few times, but he only went once (I think he just had to go) and was still wet between tries. Today went a bit better! I caught 3 pees and he pooped a little 3 times! He also peed all over his socks twice. I am starting to figure out his cues and I think he goes when I make the sssss noise if he needs to right then.
I have lots of questions. Do you make a different noise for poop? What noise? The book I got, "The Diaper-Free Baby," By Christine something-something else, says a grunting noise. My baby doesn't really grunt right then, so I don't know what it would sound like. Also, for those of you with boys, I'm losing some precious padding in the crotch. I always hold him there in some way or another, and I don't want to squish what's there. Do I need to start holding him differently when he's diaper-less? How many potties do you have? The book says like nursing stations, there can be potty stations. I could imagine having 2, maybe 3, but isn't that a lot when I could carry it around? How about easy access clothes? I see pictures of open crotch pants and stuff, but my son wears onesies right now. I guess I could just leave them unsnapped.... Does anyone know of places to get the clothes or patterns to knit or sew? I know I had even more questions, but I can't remember them right now.
Thanks so much for your help!
Edited to ask: I remembered! What do you use to clean out the potty after use? I don't want to use bleach or anything like that. Thanks!

Chevrolet aims to make a compact sedan go 200 miles on a charge, same as Tesla does for $80K. The Volt ditches unique style for compact, utilitarian style
Up to 20 miles on battery power. Same passenger space, only 1 inch of cargo space lost to lithium-ion battery pack.
5 Volt batteries could power 3-5 American homes for a couple hours during the next power failure. Even old batteries still have the majority of their power.
Constant improvements, tax credits and smartphone apps make the Volt plug-in hybrid better than ever. And still ten grand more than a standard compact car.
Gas engine cars are hitting 40 mpg. Some of the cachet is shifting from hybrids to plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles.
Honda PHEV runs 10-15 miles on electric power: less cost, less battery range than a Chevy Volt, but more room.
Volta Volare GT4 is pegged as an electric plane. Really, it's a plug-in hybrid: 300 miles on battery power, then 700 miles from a small gas engine, the company says
Four models of plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles suffer glitches and soft sales. Is it the technology or teething pains?
The Volt may be expensive to buy but the only way it costs more per mile is when you claim electricity costs $1.16 per kilowatt hour. Actually, it's one-tenth as much.
A half-dozen automakers sold almost 18,000 plug-in vehicles in 2011 out of 11 million U.S. sales, and critics are yapping that it's a waste of taxpayer money to provide tax credits for each one sold, rather than considering it a generation-long investment in a new transportation system. Among the buyers was a certain tech company you may have heard of before: Google.
IBM and Swiss power company EKZ let motorists charge EVs, hybrids with clean hydro power. They're one of many working on smartphone apps to optimize power use.

Chances are you haven't played all three
The promised extra titles for Humble Bundle X arrived today. Customers who pay above the average price of around $5.30 will now also get Toki Tori 2+, Strike Suit Zero, and Hoard, plus Reus and Surgeon Simulator 2013, which were the original beat-the-average bonuses.
The base offering is still a tremendous value, offering To the Moon, Papo & Yo, Joe Danger 2: The Movie, and Runner2 on Steam for as low as $1. Really, though, you may as well just go for the bundle's full line-up. There's still a whole week before the offer ends.

Bringing It All Back Home: Carey Lovelace on Arlene Raven
Lovelace, Carey, Artforum International
ARLENE RAVEN cut a complex swath through the world before she died this past summer on August 1. Indeed, she was an activist as "pluralistic" as the 1970s feminist art community from which she emerged--a quality perhaps most clearly recalled when one considers a 1983 landmark exhibition she curated at the Long Beach Museum of Art in California, titled "At Home," which brought together many of the artists and ideas she had championed for the previous decade. The show included Suzanne Lacy, who pioneered massive group performances on social themes; West Coast-based performance artists Rachel Rosenthal, Eleanor Antin, and Susan Mogul; ecovisionaries Helen and Newton Harrison, whose Lagoon Cycle, 1974-84, was an early rumination on global warming; and Betye Saar, who skewered racism in works such as her 1972 assemblage The Liberation of Aunt Jemima, where the pancake-mix icon wielded a rifle. All of these artists were born out of the tumultuous 1970s, a decade of relentless politics and the invention and reinvention of new forms of art. The catalogue for "At Home" was itself unusual--a cacophony of photographs and captions, artists' commentaries, and analytic text, all running simultaneously, as if asking readers to make their own paths through the work.
While best known as a writer in the "advocate critic" tradition, Arlene was also a charismatic lecturer, an art historian, a founder of radical institutions, a generous and inclusive editor, and a lesbian whose Susan Sontagian glamour helped bring attention to the often marginalized worlds she sought to make visible. With (appropriately) raven hair, a firm jaw, and chiseled features, the Baltimore-born Arlene Corkery (nee Rubin) exuded a kind of streetwise toughness. Involved in '60s radical politics, including a stint with Students for a Democratic Society, she got a BFA in painting from Hood College in Maryland in 1965 and an MFA from George Washington University two years later, then switched to art history and started a Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University that she completed in 1975. Fascinated by the early Women's Lib movement, she began working on one of its first publications, Womyn: A Journal of Liberation, and in a women's clinic in the same building. But having married her master's thesis adviser, she was too busy juggling lives as a housewife, stepmother, and student to fully engage.
In 1972, however, she discovered that her husband was having an affair with a student. Shortly after separating from him, she was kidnapped on a Baltimore street, attacked, and raped by two men; she nearly died. (With typical gallows humor, she once told me, "I kept thinking, 'How can they do this? Don't they know I'm getting my Ph.D.?'") In between those searing events, she had attended the Conference of Women in the Visual Arts at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC, a historic forum where she heard Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro speak about the new Feminist Art Program (FAP) at the California Institute of the Arts. FAP had just completed Womanhouse, a Hollywood mansion that students had converted into environments symbolizing women's oppression. Once recovered from her injuries, Arlene had an epiphany. Days later, she left for Los Angeles, where Chicago became a close friend during this extremely difficult time in Arlene's life. That summer, when Arlene decided to divest herself of her husband's surname without reverting to her father's, it was Chicago who suggested "Raven." ("Edgar Allan Poe was from Baltimore--it just seemed right," Arlene later remembered.)
At CalArts Arlene helped pioneer the inclusive feminist art history then being formulated on several fronts, including in Linda Nochlin's work at Stanford University. It incorporated women's previously ignored heritage and expressed skepticism about Western art's idees recues--attitudes, some believe, that set the stage for postmodernism. That this was the same school that launched hypermasculinists David Salle and Eric Fischl is an irony that has since been noted by alumna Mira Schor, among others. …

Arizona's population has doubled in the last 30 years, but the state's prison population has increased tenfold, from 3,377 inmates in June 1979 to 40,477 inmates in June 2010.i
In December 2008, Arizona became the first state to implement performance-based adult probation funding pursuant to Senate Bill 1476.ii Under this incentive-based approach, probation departments receive a share of the state's savings from less incarceration when they reduce their revocations to prison without increasing probationers' convictions for new offenses. Probation departments are required to reinvest the additional funds in victim services, substance abuse treatment, and strategies to improve community supervision and reduce recidivism.
In 2009, the first year of its incentive funding plan, Arizona saw a 12.8 percent decrease in revocations of probationers to prison, including decreases in all but three of the state's 15 counties.iii There was also a 1.9 percent reduction in the number of probationers convicted of a new felony.iv In Mohave County, the probation department in 2009 reduced its total revocations by 101 and the percent of its probation caseload revoked for a new felony dropped from 4.6 to 1.1 percent.v This saved the state $1.7 million in incarceration costs that otherwise would have been incurred and Mohave County officials are expecting the state to fulfill its end of the bargain by appropriating 40 percent of the savings to the County in the next budget.
How did Mohave County achieve these results? In short, they implemented evidence-based practices – those techniques that research has shown reduce the risk of criminal behavior. Assistant Probation Chief Alan Palomino noted: "First we looked at our revocation process and at who we were revoking. There were a lot of technical violators who missed appointments or were just not doing exactly what was required of them on their probation. We looked at ways to motivate them toward cooperation and buying into their own probation process."vi
The enhancements in Mohave County to their approach to probation included:
Training probation officers to utilize motivational interviewing, which is a method of therapy that identifies and mobilizes the client's intrinsic values and goals to stimulate behavior change. Motivation to change is elicited from the client, and not imposed from without. It is assumed that ambivalence or lack of resolve is the principal obstacle to be overcome in triggering change. In an example of motivational interviewing, an officer may ask a probationer questions designed to elicit self-motivational statements such as, "What are you afraid might happen if things continue as they are?" and "What might be some advantages of changing your behavior?"viiMotivational interviewing has been designated by the National Institute of Corrections as one of eight evidence-based practices that contribute to reduced recidivism.viii
Separating the minimum-risk offenders from the medium- and high-risk populations and varying supervision and caseload levels for each group, with one officer handling minimum-risk offenders in each city within the county.
Better identification of the needs of each offender such as substance abuse programs, educational programs, and anger management.
Implementing Moral Recognition Therapy, which is a cognitive educational program that helps probationers understand that their own choices have put them into their situations and become accountable for their actions.
Immediate consequences for violations and positive accolades for accomplishments.
Despite this progress, Arizona policymakers are looking at additional options for improving their criminal justice system. They are facing both a budget crisis and a September 2010 projection by the state corrections department that 8,500 new prison beds will be needed by 2017 at a construction cost of $974 million, not including operating costs of well in excess of $150 million a year.ix

2005 Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards
People like Dell's boxes, but it's still confusing to buy anything but a top-of-the-line workstation from them if you want to run Linux. And even then, according to the Dell Linux Engineering page, "all Dell N-Series Precision Workstation desktops are available and supported with Red Hat Linux. For help running other Linux distributions on your Workstation, you might consider posting to or viewing the linux-precision mailing list."
Wait a second before skipping to the next category—this result isn't as boring as you might think. Yes, GCC won again, but it's a whole new GCC world out there. Earlier this year, Tom Tromey wrote that GCC "has undergone many changes in the last few years. One change in particular, the merging of the tree-ssa branch, has made it much simpler to write a new GCC front end." Find out why in "Writing a GCC Front End".
Fedora Core
Judging by the comments posted on the LJ Web site during the voting process, a lot of voters were "shocked" and "flabbergasted" that the brand-new Ubuntu made it to the final round, while Red Hat, Debian, SUSE and other big names were absent. Maybe it's a passing phase of Ubuntu mania, but as Steve Hastings wrote in his LJ review, "Ubuntu Linux is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to run Linux on a desktop system. It's easy to install and to administer. Everyone from beginners to experts can use and appreciate it. And it's free."
Mozilla Thunderbird
In the early days of the Readers' Choice Awards, the top finishers in this category always were mutt, pine and other text-based programs. The last couple of years, though, the majority of readers—at least the voting ones—have given up the basics for one of the smooth new GUI-based clients. And Thunderbird seems to be responsible for a lot of these conversions.
Nitpickers might say that Qtopia isn't a distribution because it doesn't include the kernel, but it's a full-featured embedded development environment. Qtopia is built on Qt/Embedded, the C++ GUI and platform development tool for Linux-based embedded development. You get all the source code and can do whatever customization you want. Everyone from Samsung to Motorola and Phillips is using Qtopia for PDAs, cell phones and other cool new gadgets.
The GIMP
Everyone knows The GIMP rules this category and has for practically the past decade. But wow, there are a lot of votes for Inkscape this year. Our editors selected it for an Editors' Choice Award earlier this year as well. So maybe it's time the rest of you take a look at Inkscape, especially if you're concerned about making your graphics look good at a variety of screen sizes by using a vector format.
Ubuntu and Debian help each
Ubuntu and Debian help each other. Ubuntu is more polished than Debian and has a much smaller package set. Debian (unstable) gets packages updated more frequently and has a lot more to choose from.
Regardless of the distribution, this will likely improve support for all Distributions.
I'm agree
I didn't vote, but I'm agree.

1&1 are providing excellent package compared to what I'm getting from bluehost.com. I wonder about their uptime / reliability.
Not for the large providers
I usually don't like the large web hosters - you are just a number for them, as a small customer we usually all are. If you go to a smaller hoster they might have much more time for you.
XMMS is old and unmaintained, I'm surprised it still was able to garner enough support to take the top spot. I would have thought amaroK would have taken the top spot, with Rhythmbox or Beep Media Player second.
Sure, XMMS2 is in the works, but the 1.2.x series uses GTK1... does anyone even keep GTK1 installed anymore?
Amarok is heavy going for a system, except if you have a 2GHz+ machine. XMMS runs fine even on an old Pentium 200, but Amarok on that same system kills it. XMMS is a good, simple media player with lots of possibilities to extend it, and it works very well, which is why it has maintained its #1 place.
Postgres? It usually takes

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

5 stars mate, really nice
What an amazing landscape! Love it ^^ But, anyone who live in that house must be very patient. I think it can't be less than 20 minutes to walk from garage to the house's front door . Anyway, if the "land" could float, of course the people can fly... I have pinned it here: www.pinterest.com/pin/14397451… Hope it is okay with you!
Quite an amazing view! n.n
what an amazing scene you have depicted here. I wish this kind of place was somewhere I could visit and explore!
That's amazing!
I am in awe with this landscape...very lovely!
Post this in environmental groups and you will get much more comments
Wowowowowow. Love it!
Wonderful discovery. I can almost feel the vapor from the falls soaking my clothes and face and hear the creak of the windmill, the snap of the flags over the silent thunder of the distant falls. It's refreshing in the fading light. Sir this piece is amazing. Wonderful work!
just sexy
I have never found out where these detached landscapes come from, but they're awesome.
Fan-frickin'-tastic man!!
This is breathtakingly beautiful .

Ponderosa cruises past Golden Sierra in opener
By: Journal Sports Staff
Prep Basketball
GARDEN VALLEY — Golden Sierra led after one quarter before losing starting point guard Jamey Danielson-McKeague to injury in a 55-35 season-opening loss to visiting Ponderosa Monday night. Alison Ryan finished with 15 points for the Bruins to lead all scorers. The Grizzlies led 19-15 after the first quarter, but mustered single digit scoring over the final three quarters without Danielson-McKeague. Adriana Palmiere scored a team-high nine points for Golden Sierra, while Jessica Blair had six points, Shannon Cummings had five and Tauri Smith chipped in with four. The Grizzlies look to bounce back when they travel to Bradshaw Christian tonight for a 6 p.m. tip-off.

Counting on a cost of living boost to your Social Security benefits in 2016? It's not likely to happen, because inflation has been too low.
The annual increases are automatic when the Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners is higher in the prior third quarter than the same quarter the year before.
But the first two quarters of 2015 were actually lower than 2014. And we're in the third quarter now.
"So unless inflation surges during the remainder of the summer, it's unlikely that the third quarter of 2015 will surpass the third quarter of 2014," according to an online Investment News story.
In its recently released report for 2015, the Social Security Board of Trustees confirmed it, saying a COLA or cost of living adjustment wasn't expected in 2016. But 2017 looks much better for an increase, with trustees projecting a possible 3.1 percent increase.
Since 1975, only two years had no Social Security benefit increases — 2010 and 2011. This year, benefits increased 1.7 percent, similar to 2014 and 2013.
