It is tempting to begin with an old cliche' opening line like "It was the best of budgets, it was the worst of budgets," but looking at the graphs to the left (click for a larger view), that would be an understatement.
House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor and House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan released the plan that Budget Chairman Ryan has been guiding to the light of day since Republicans gained control of the House. The fact that Republicans managed to produce a budget at all is a far cry from the Nancy Pelosi Democrats who were unable (and unwilling) to produce a budget at all.
Responsibility has returned to the House at long last.
The Highlights of this plan:
Repeals and Completely Defunds Obamacare.
Reduce Federal Spending. This proposal will reduce spending to below 2008 levels and freeze it there for five years.
Tax Reform. This budget will reform and simplify our outdated tax code and cut individual and corporate tax rates.
Reform Medicaid. It will provide block grants for Medicaid to the states, creating greater flexibility and saving $750 billion.
Protect Social Security and Medicare. People age 55 and above will see no changes to their current Medicare or Social Security benefits. Those below age 55 will see the protections put in place to ensure each program's solvency when they become eligible to participate.
Already Nancy Pelosi has began spreading misinformation, claiming the cuts will starve seniors, but the fact is, those 55 and over will see no changes and those under 55 will be given options for the same Health Coverage menu that members of Congress receive. And is there any likelihood that Pelosi has actually read the bill?
I suppose it would be a bit mean-spirited to suggest we must pass the "Path to Prosperity" to find out what is in it, but Boehner, Cantor and Ryan have a better idea. After reading this document, you too will agree that Boehner, Cantor and Ryan have heard America. We must get this debt under control or the country is finished. There will be nothing to leave to our children and grandchildren.
Somewhere tonight, the spirit of Ronald Reagan is starting to smile. It may not be dawn in America just yet, but it is getting lighter!

Not much, to be honest. The main villainous team has never been a concern of mine, and I'm sure they'll take a step back plot-wise after Black and White, so I'm not really too hyped for them either way. They'll probably end up as just another Team Rocket.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

These were good! Great way to use the fresh pesto I made earlier in the week.
Great tasting chicken for very few ingredients. Surprised because of the low amount of ingredients. Very low cost and very good here. Liked how the pesto stuck to the chicken. Nice simple and a quick recipe. Made for Zaar Stars. :)
Really good! The pesto really sticks to the meat well....you can really taste it.
Very easy recipe, and very, very good. I was so surprised at how delicious this was! I cooked it on the grill...I don't know what a barbecue plate is :). Made this after work, and it was quick and easy. I'll use this recipe again. Thanks for posting!
Yum! This is an easy recipe, but sooo tasty! I love pesto and this recipe showcases the flavors nicely.
This was so easy and quick to make. The chicken is very moist and tasty. I followed the ingredients per recipe. My DH barbecued this on the grill. Made for Beverage Tag.
I grilled these and they turned out wonderful. I didn't even add the 1/4 olive oil to the pesto, I used threaded the chicken, poured pesto over, let sit for 30 minutes and grilled. My nephew, who rarely eats anything at all, ate 2 whole skewers by himself. This was so quick and easy I plan to do this again real soon. Thank you so much for sharing. Made for Beverage Tag.
Used whole boneless chicken breasts for this. Doesn't get any easier than this. Used it as a topping on my Gourmet Pesto Pizza. If you like pesto, I'd think you would like this. I would make it in large batches to be tossed in salads and in quick pasta dishes. Thanks, babe! Made for ZWT4 Italy.
Quick, simple and very tasty! Followed recipe as is but didn't refrigerate it anymore as I was too in a hurry to eat this. lol Thank you, Mandy!

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics.
Wait a minute … "monthly"?
It's true that we haven't taken a What Looks Good tour in a few months, but the feature is back with an all-new approach that we hope will be more varied and useful than the old format. Instead of Michael and Graeme just commenting on everything that catches our attention in the catalog, we've invited Chrises Mautner and Arrant to join us in each picking the five new comics we're most looking forward to. What we'll end up with is a Top 20 (or so; there may be some overlap) of the best new comics coming out each month.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.
Chris Mautner
1) Love and Rockets New Stories #5 by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez (Fantagraphics) — How do you possibly top the triumphant storytelling feat that was "The Love Bunglers"? I dunno, but Jaime Hernandez is certainly going to give it the old college try, this time shifting the focus onto the vivacious "Frogmouth" character. Gilbert, meanwhile, brings back some of his classic Palomar characters, so yeah, this is pretty much a "must own" for me.
2) Skippy Vol. 1: Complete Dailies 1925-1927 by Percy Crosby (IDW) — Percy Crosby's Skippy might well be the great forgotten comic strip of the 20th century. Extremely popular in its day, and a huge influence on such luminaries as Charles Schulz, the strip has largely been forgotten and the name conjures up little more than images of peanut butter. IDW's effort to reacquaint folks with this strip might change that — the few snippets I've read suggest this is real lost gem.
3) The Voyeurs by Gabrielle Bell (Uncivilized Books) — Tom Kaczynski's small-press publishing company drops its first major, "big book" release with this memoir from the always-excellent Gabrielle Bell. Collecting work from her series Lucky (and, I think, some of her recent minis), the book chronicles a turbulent five year period as she travels around the world. Should be great.
4) Godzilla: The Half Century War by James Stokoe (IDW) — I usually stay as far away from licensed books as possible, but there is one simple reason I'm including this comic in my top five: James Stokoe. Stokoe's Orc Stain has quickly become one of my favorite serialized comics, and his obsession with detailing every inch of the page combined with his ability to incorporate significant manga storytelling tropes in his work convince me he can do a solid job chronicling the adventures of the big green lizard that spits radioactive fire.
5) Barbara by Osamu Tezuka (Digital Manga) — Speaking of manga, here's one of the more noteworthy Kickstarter projects of recent years: Digital Manga's attempt to bring the master's saga of a famous author and the homeless, beautiful woman he takes in and assumes to be his literal muse. This is well regarded in many Tezuka fan circles as one of the cartoonist's better adult stories, and I'm glad to see Digital willing to take a chance on bringing more Tezuka to the West. I'll definitely be buying this. I should also note that Vertical will also be offering some Tezuka this month, namely a new edition of Adolph (originally published by Viz in the '90s), here titled Message to Adolph but well worth checking out regardless of the title.
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics. As usual, we're focusing on graphic novels, collected volumes and first issues so that I don't have to come up with a new way to say, " Mouse Guard is still awesome!" every month. And I'll continue letting Tom and Carla do the heavy lifting in regards to DC and Marvel's solicitations.
Also, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell me what I missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.
Explorer: The Mystery Boxes - With the Flight anthologies done, the all-ages version, Flight Explorer has morphed into this. I expect it to be as lovely as its predecessors and especially like the Mystery Box theme.
Jinx – J Torres and Rick Burchett's graphic novel aimed at tween girls.
Kevin Keller, Volume 1 and Kevin Keller #1 – Archie collects the first appearances and mini-series of their major, gay character and also launches his ongoing series.
Flash Gordon: Vengeance of Ming – The third volume in Ardden's Flash Gordon series.

C-class review[edit]
I have passed the article at C level. The article has sufficient coverage and reasonable depth, and no major sourcing issues that stand in the way of a C class assessment.
A few recommendations:
- You don't need to cite every sentence, unless of course the paragraph has sentences that come from different sources. If a paragraph or section just uses the one source only, then you only need to give it one. If you over-cite it can become to messy for the reader.
- The critical reception section isn't completely neutral. All the reviews are favorable, and you should really include a negative review by someone who didn't like the film to offer a counterpoint to the praise the film has received.
- Generally, consensus on the film project is to not include an image in the soundtrack section, since it is not needed to identify the subject. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(film)#Soundtrack. It might be more productive to include a 30 second audio sample from the score instead to give readers a better understanding of the style of music used in the film.

- 1
- Plot is jolty and doesn't flow very well. Perhaps consolidate similarly-themed parts into larger paragraphs. The third and fourth paragraphs stick out the most. -tried my best to improve it. However, the plot of the film itself jumps between the two scenes, so I really do not know how to fix this problem. Some help, perhaps?
- with her strength or his? -done
Who's Ah-he? What does his dating Chia-yi have to do with the plot?-Removed Any reason why Chia-yi does poorly on her exams?- added in "saying that he did it to impress ex-girlfriend (and the female protagonist) Shen Chia-yi." - Any way to work that parenthetical into the text? ", the inspiration for the female protagonist, perhaps?- done (who plays lead female character, Shen Chia-yi) - Is this necessary? You indicate who she played above- removed
- Mypaper - a bit about the publication would be nice (Singapore-based Mypaper or whatever) -done
- Several further paragraphs are really short and could be merged. -can you specify which?
- "It contains six vocals by various artists and nine accompanying soundtracks used in the film." - Unclear. Do you mean it had six songs with vocals and nine instrumental pieces? -done
- Really heavy on quotations (see WP:QUOTEFARM). This has copyright aspects as well. Should be cut back if possible.- Most quotes in the Production and Critical Reception section, so should be okay.
- "Film Business Asia" - Should this be italicised? -done
(The previous record was set in 2003 by Infernal Affairs II, which earned HK$8,941,266.) - Might be good as a footnote (using {{efn}}, for example)- done Same for (The record was previously held by the 2004 film Kung Fu Hustle.)- done (which earned $390,000 in Singapore) - Not necessary, could be trimmed- done
- I've given a copyedit, check the changes
- 3
- Looks like you have issues with links dying on you. Suggest you use www.webcitation.org to archive them (at least your core references). I've done it on all my GAs and FAs. -see comments below
- Fix the citation needed tag(s)- done for most. As for the one in the soundtrack section, it is really necessary to have one? It is already stated on the list, and in the album itself.
- Just cite the album booklet (simple enough) -how exactly to do this?
Check your reference formatting. For example, the The Straits Times should be in italics for FN 42 and there is a double period in FN 26.-done
- 6
- Preferable to remove the album cover, as it is essentially the same as the poster.- done — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:34, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
Further discussion[edit]
- On hold for one week. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:11, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I have made some changes to the article, though I would need more time to implement your suggestions. The really big headache I have, as you mentioned, is the dead links. I am not aware of the tool you mentioned, so thanks for the tip. However, I really am unable to find any archives that saved these deleted pages. In fact, I have fixed quite a lot of dead links before this GA review, though evidently not all. Can you suggest some alternative methods to solve this problem, given your past experience? --Lionratz (talk) 08:00, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- Note to reviewer: I might be unable to spend large amounts of time in near future editing this page, since I have got exams coming up.
- Did you try the Wayback Machine? It may help. (here) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- Should have replaced all the broken links that the Checklinks tool highlighted. I have also added notes beside each point. Can you have a look at them?--Lionratz (talk) 13:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- This one looks dead. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:03, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- Replied above. Struck addressed comments — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:10, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- Note to reviewer: I might be unable to spend large amounts of time in near future editing this page, since I have got exams coming up.
- Completed (I think) most of the tasks, with comments added beside each comment. Fixed the link too.--Lionratz (talk) 13:44, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Looks like you just have that When tag to deal with. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:01, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
- Alright, passing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:48, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Airline miles are worthless to the occasional traveler.
They build too slowly, expire and have too many conditions to be worth anything to most of us.
That's too bad; they used to be a nice perk.

I am trying to make a search view in Django. It is a search form with freetext input + some options to select, so that you can filter on years and so on. This is some of the code I have in the view so far, the part that does the filtering. And I would like some input on how expensive this would be on the database server.
soknad_list = Soknad.objects.all()
if var1:
soknad_list = soknad_list.filter(pub_date__year=var1)
if var2:
soknad_list = soknad_list.filter(muncipality__name__exact=var2)
if var3:
soknad_list = soknad_list.filter(genre__name__exact=var3)
stop_word_list = re.compile(STOP_WORDS, re.IGNORECASE)
search_term = '%s' % request.GET['q']
cleaned_search_term = stop_word_list.sub('', search_term)
cleaned_search_term = cleaned_search_term.strip()
if len(cleaned_search_term) != 0:
soknad_list = soknad_list.filter(Q(dream__icontains=cleaned_search_term) | Q(tags__icontains=cleaned_search_term) | Q(name__icontains=cleaned_search_term) | Q(school__name__icontains=cleaned_search_term))
So what I do is, first make a list of all objects, then I check which variables exists (I fetch these with GET on an earlier point) and then I filter the results if they exists. But this doesn't seem too elegant, it probably does a lot of queries to achieve the result, so is there a better way to this?
It does exactly what I want, but I guess there is a better/smarter way to do this. Any ideas?

No not enough...we all love this stuff :)
There are just too many jacks on there. Tomcat stick to the question! What you said is just more negative campaigning for McCain. Plus if you are going to make comments like that at least get your info right! Obama is NOT a radical Muslim, or Muslim at all, but a CHRISTIAN! As for a socialist name calling. Anyone even trying to bring gov't back towards the middle is going to look at a socialist to a republican. They, the republicans, have gov't so far right it is mind blowing!
LOL, you are so very right TheQuill!
The Democratic party has been re-labeled AGAIN by the Republicans. The LIBERAL label started to sound too good, after 8 years of COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM from Bush. We are now labeled SOCIALISTS, and in some places, COMMUNISTS. I am a MODERATE and you can call me whatever you want. I am hopeful that the Republicans will get together and restructure their party. It was fun having political differences back in Reagans time, always made for good debate no matter what side of the aisle you were on. Things have turned HATEFUL in the past 8 years, thanks to operatives like Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh. Lets all agree to disagree, and stop the hate. We are beginning to look like some of the countries that are at war within. It has to stop.

Top notch decisions in the developing airways bring insights into lung disease
In the normal lung, the airways are lined by a balanced mixture of ciliated, secretory and neuroendocrine cells which perform functions as diverse as air humidification, detoxification, and clearance of environmental particles. This balance can be altered dramatically by faulty adaptation responses of the lung to cigarette smoke or allergens in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma. How these different cell types emerge from lung progenitor cells and how these fates are balanced in developing airways, remain an open question. A study from a research team led by Wellington Cardoso, MD, a professor at the Pulmonary Center Boston University School of Medicine and Director of the Program in Lung Development and Progenitor Cell Biology, sheds light into this problem.
The Notch pathway is a major regulator of cell fate decisions in developing cells from fruit flies to humans. Using mouse genetic models, the BU researchers inactivated Notch signaling in the lung and discovered that airways no longer formed secretory cells. Instead they became populated almost exclusively by ciliated cells. The researchers showed that this imbalance seems to result from the loss of a mechanism of cell fate choice triggered by the Notch called lateral inhibition.
"When you lose Notch signaling, you lose the ability to generate secretory cells that make the lining fluid critical for protection and integrity of airway, and the other fate, of ciliated cells is de-repressed" said Dr. Cardoso.
These findings help to understand how airways form and provide insights into how interfering with Notch signaling may be potentially useful as a therapeutic intervention in respiratory diseases, such as asthma and COPD, in which airways have an overabundance of secretory cells and paucity of ciliated cells in the airways. The link between hyperactive Notch and excessive secretion is now rapidly emerging from other recent reports.

Searching on Twitter
March 18, 2009 at 10:55 am Justin Wilcox Leave a comment
So you're in healthcare and you're using Twitter (good on you), but haven't quite figured out how to find the information you care about without following everyone under the sun. Here's a quick video tutorial on searching, hashtags, and Twhirl:
The two most popular tools for monitoring Twitter searches are Twhirl (demoed above) and TweetDeck. I tried TweetDeck for a while but found that it was taking up way too much memory and I like the look of Twhirl better.
Good luck!

Preparing for trench rescues
The Henrico Division of Fire conducted three days of trench-rescue training exercises near Dabney Road earlier this month, practicing response efforts for the rare occasion when such an event occurs.
Trench incidents occur most frequently when companies fail to follow OSHA rules and regulations. The last such rescue in this region occurred in 2009.
Henrico fire officials and those from Chesterfield, Hanover and Richmond participated in the training sessions, which covered two scenarios: a worker trapped beneath a backhoe that has slipped into a trench; and a worker trapped under a 2,500-pound block of concrete. Rescue dummies were used in the exercises, and crews uses wenches and airbags to lift the heavy objects and extract the "victims."
The training was made possible in part by Brandywine Realty Trust, Chamberlain Mechanical Service Inc., Ruppert Landscape and Richmond Sign & Engraving.

Good food and fun, bargain prices
Pelon's serves up a good mix of variety, value
I first stumbled into Pelon's on a Wednesday night, lured by the promise of $2 tacos and beers. At those prices, I had assumed the place was a hole in the wall, and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious, pleasant interior.
Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans. Reading the menu is part of the entertainment here, as patrons browse burrito choices that include Rip Tide, The Curl, Hawaiian Pipeline and Big Kahuna. > Read more.

I'm looking for a lightbox solution to showcase magazine articles that are scanned and made into jpg files. I want lightbox to automatically re-size the image to the browser window so visitor will see the whole page spread, but I also want visitor to be able to view it in full resolution, so one can drag the image around to actually read the article.
I tried number of lightbox plugins, i.e. lightbox plus, shadowbox, etc, but I can't seem to find one that does auto re-size and have the "show in full" button to let visitors to view the image in full.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

UPDATE: As my patience started to end, the laptop started to display symptoms of other malfunctions, so I ended up returning it to Asus and actually had the price of the laptop back in store credit. I did not solve the problem per se, but as I don't have the notebook and the screen, the keyboard, the touchpad and other parts were malfunctioning, I can safely assume that it was put to rest. I don't know how to behave when my question isn't actually answered, but was "solved", so I placed this over here. Anyone that knows how to end this topic, I would appreciate the heads up. Thanks for everything, everyone, it's nice to see that this topic in the community was active even when all this time had passed.
So I bought an ASUS K43E notebook earlier this year and built a wireless conection to link it to. It worked great for the first weeks, but then I updated my Windows 7 Home Basic with the daily updates; After that my home network couldn't be reached no matter what I did. I have linux on dual boot on the same notebook and it can connect to my home wireless network flawlessly. I have a hunch that it's somehow related to the Network Profile settings. I have noticed my network was set as "Home network", but after the system updates I got changed to "Public". Now I can't connect to it to change the profile settings.
My Atheros Network adapter is updated to the latest driver (march 2012), and I still can't connect. The funny thing is that the same thing happened to my mother's notebook, as it has the same Network Adapter, Atheros AR9285, as I recall it. I managed to fix it on my mother's computer by using an specific network LSP and profiling reset that was available through her notebook's antivirus program, avast! Internet Security. I can't get that to work on my notebook, but I suspect that some related tool might just make it work too. So the question is: how to modify a network's profile and settings that were stored in my notebook? I can't connect to the specific network on Windows, as stated before.

This post originally appeared on LinkedIn.
Too many companies these days are addicted to bad profits.
Bad profits choke a company's growth. They blacken its reputation and make it vulnerable to competitors. The pursuit of bad profits alienates customers and demoralizes employees.
But wait, you say, how can profits, that holy grail of the business enterprise, ever be bad? Short of outright fraud, isn't one dollar of earnings as good as another?
Bad profits are not easy to spot on an income statement. But outside the world of accounting, they're easy to recognize: They are profits earned at the expense of customer relationships.
Whenever a customer feels misled, mistreated, ignored or coerced, profits from that customer are bad. As my colleague Rob Markey and I explain in The Ultimate Question 2.0, bad profits come from unfair or deceptive pricing. Bad profits arise when companies shortchange customers by delivering a lousy experience. When sales reps push inappropriate products onto trusting customers, the reps are generating bad profits.
Examples, unfortunately, are everywhere. Airlines that charge $100 to switch flights when you arrive at the airport in time to catch an earlier departure—even when that flight has empty seats. Inscrutable wireless phone bills with huge overage charges or outrageous roaming fees that bear no relationship to network costs. Rental car companies exacting exorbitant fees if you fail to top off the tank. Adjustable mortgages that never should have been underwritten. Administrative fees buried in the fine print of mutual funds. Health insurers that balk at procedures their own network physicians recommend.
Bad profits work much of their damage through the detractors they create. Detractors are customers who feel badly treated by a company. And they're expensive. They buy less. They demoralize frontline employees with complaints and demands. They gripe to friends, relatives, colleagues, acquaintances. Estimates vary, but for a long time, the accepted maxim was that every unhappy customer told 10 friends.
No wonder bad profits strangle a company's growth. If many of your customers are bad-mouthing you, how are you going to get more? If your customers feel mistreated, how will you persuade them to buy more from you? Right now, churn rates in some industries have deteriorated to the point where a company may lose half of its new customers in less than three years.
Customers resent bad profits—but CEOs and investors should, too, because bad profits undermine a company's prospects. Like the addicts they are, enterprises dependent on bad profits have no future until they can break their habit.

EA is due on the 14th
The market has been highly responsive to earning forecasts. Even if SQM blows earnings out of the water, any projected decrease for next quarter could send this stock down another 20%. If we see a pre-earnings run up, I'll drop most of my position and re-buy after. There is far too much volatility (unfounded, IMO) in the market right now.
project... a mine as in this example... if we are to take the project to be a mine as is the case here, then the cost is depreciated over the estimated life of the mine. now, we can of course get into the details of determining depreciable life, slicing costs into stages, depreciating different items at different lives, etc... but i am pretty sure that goes way beyond the point that was initially brought up... and that was... "how will the recent capex announced plans impact the upcoming earnings release?"... answer... not one bit...
correct, however the depreciation is not over the life of the project. It can be depreciated over the expected life of the asset in question. Therefore it will be depreciated over a much larger number of years minimizing its effect on earnings.
wrong, CAPEX will absolutely impact earnings via deprecation over the life of the project... to be sure, the cash impact will be felt immediately which is what i think you are thinking about, but CAPEX is simply capitalized cost that is depreciated...
I do not know what she said but it sounds perttybad so I have to agree.
LOL, only said one word in Spanish.The rest was mispelled, you cannot say curse words on the boards, so I mispelled them. Think about if what is an arse? Bicology, left out the letter "T" nd H after the letter C. Oh the word in Spanish was Mierda, google it. Give you a hint ever change a poopy diaper? That word POOPY, is it but in the worst curse word,
that is the day the longs will learn about the HUGE increase in input costs that have occurred that is not priced in yet, as they only seem to be focusing on the top line potash pricing... it will be a fun day for sure.
You know trader, you are an obnoxious being. Most would tell me to not pay attention to you. But alas, I have a degree in Bichology, so for me it´s fun, in other words you and others like you make my day. Why are you stil on this board????? You think this stock is a PIG, but yet you post. Are you some sick arse freak of nature that had nothing better do do. You know you are full of mierda, lonely arse pricko.

Hello there,
Just uploaded Gear to my new blog, and I'm happy with it so far. One little edit I would like to do, but haven't found the place in the code to do so, is to change the blog title slightly. I simply want to change the title from 'TITLE' to 'Title'- I'm not crazy about the caps lock.
If somebody could point me in the right direction, thank you in advance! :D

I have, in 'Comment Moderation', "1 link only", and all the items in the 'spam words' list in there.
BUT people keep on posting comments that have 3 links in them, and this is pissing me off :(
It seems like the moderation is broken here somewhere, what should I do?

Skip to comments.Here Are The 47% Of The Population Who Don't Pay Federal Income Tax (See Chart)
Posted on 09/18/2012 6:42:04 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Mitt Romney's latest campaign setback is a leaked video that shows him slagging the 47 percent of the population who, he says, will always vote for Barack Obama, because they want everything for free from the government.
The 47 percent number presumably refers to the percent of the population who don't pay Federal Income Taxes, which of course is just one kind of tax.
From the Tax Policy Center, these three pie charts show who those people are.
Kevin Roose at NYMag puts the data into words:
But back to the 47 percent. There are two primary ways to pay no (or negative) federal income taxes. The first is to be poor, and the second is to be elderly. In 2011, of the 18.1 percent of American households who paid no federal tax (meaning, no federal income or payroll tax), more than half were elderly, and most of the other half were non-elderly people making below $20,000 a year. The other sliver, roughly one in 20 non-payers, were people who made more than $20,000 in household income.
The reason being poor helps is because, with a combination of tax credits (like the earned income credit and the child credit) and deductions, many people earning under $20,000 a year can zero out their overall rate. The primary reason being elderly helps is that Social Security benefits aren't taxed as income, so if all (or most) of your income comes from your monthly Social Security check, your taxable income is marginal or non-existent.
So there you have it. The poor and elderly.
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Mitt Romney's latest campaign setback"
Sort of like his Libya "gaffe"
I'd like to "slag" the 47% too. How does one go about "slagging" somebody?
He talked about the elephant in the room and I am glad he did because people always tell me thats why Mitt can't win excatly what Mitt said word for word
I may get blasted (nothing new :-)), but I know we are the party of lowered taxes, but we are not the party of no taxes. I think everyone should pay SOMETHING even if 5 bucks. It is sickening to me that 47 percent of the population are muchers.
This article is wrong. We live on Social Security and our SS is taxed as income.........thanks to Bill Clinton. Every April we write a check to the IRS.
Was listening to Laura Ingram; she mentioned (credit to her Mother) the old adage of 'too many people in the wagon; and not enough to pull it.'
Romney only has to say; he is appealing to and 'for' more wagon pullers; because America needs them desperately.
Mitt needs only to put this in a context that the Left cannot deride - without making themselves look stupid, that is.

Earned Income Tax Credit for instance. Not a bad refund considering what they "didn't" pay.
But they pay payroll taxes, they pay payroll taxes scream the media. Well don't payroll taxes go to individual benefits like social security and medicare? They certainly don't pay for the defense or general welfare of the nation.
It makes me even MORE enthusiastic to vote for him.
I was not sure he was aware of these things, but I am glad to know he is.
So let me see if I have it straight MSM- Obama is the CAUSE of 47% of the people needing to be dependant on the government, but Romney makes a 'gaffe' by MENTIONING IT...???
This is a case of watching the pea. Payroll taxes are essentially a forced saving program - everyone gets a % of their payments back, in some case the % is more than 100%. So the bottom line is that there remains a large % of folks who do not contribute via income taxes.
That said, I would have cautioned Romney from using this approach. Just ask Maggie Thatcher. Her poll tax, which is the natural implication of this line of argument, was an easy way to rally the disgruntled and demoralize the rest. Romney should avoid handing sticks to his opponents unless he is willing to follow through and go toe to toe with them. I certainly hope he has an answer when Barry throws this back at him in the debates.
Everybody pays for regulations, costs of compliance, etc.
Those on food stamps would get more stuff if prices weren't inflated by subsidies, tort lawsuits, environmental policies, etc.
When we're talking about a payroll tax, aren't we really talking about social security, medicare, and state disability insurance?
We all know they're going to get back every cent they pay in normal payroll taxes, plus the earned income credit you mentioned.
I'm sick and tired of the Left acting as if these people are taxed unfairly. Bull s—t!
Reading the comments after the article, some clown wanted to know from one of the other respondents if he would be happy if they (the gov) were to tax SS (benefits I assume). Uh, they (SS admin) hold out taxes on every check I get. I did this so I wouldn't need/be required to file every quarter. I don't want to file every year and surely don't want to deal with these clowns every three months.
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
Are people who pay payroll tax but not income tax going to think Romney was talking about them? Maybe not. And if not why would Romney's statement bother them? This is just another distraction attempt by the LSM (imo).
Obozo is fond of saying that everyone should 'have some skin in the game.'
There should be a law that if you don't pay income taxes, you can't vote...........
RE: Obama is the CAUSE of 47% of the people needing to be dependant on the government,
Actually, the Dems are the CAUSE of more people being dependent on government. They in fact want to create policies to make sure that the 47% increase to greater than 50% so that they will have a majority of this constituency in perpetuity.
NOt all are slackers..
There should be a law that if you dont pay income taxes, you cant vote...........
I could go with that. What about charging 50 bucks to vote. I mean we pay for everything else what about the priviledge to vote. We would get rid of most of the liberals if we charged to vote.
That is why Obama has 47% of the vote at this point. That means he only has to get 3.1% more to vote for him and he wins 50.1% to 49.9%. That's not bad when you go into an election knowing that you have 47% of the vote in the bag and all you have to do is say the other side will take your free ride away and you have that 47% in the bag and don't ever have to worry about them again.
Total tax revenues collected by the IRS in 2011: $2,332,754 million and falling...
We are at that point where entitlement spending is about equal to total tax revenues - the problem is, that tax revenues are falling, while entitlement spending is rising.
There is no way to pay down the debt or pay for any other programs without debasing the currency now.
She and others in the group have the sense to vote against the party of maximizing gimmees because she understands that too many wagon riders, especially those capable of pulling, will only hasten the day when TSHTF.
I think this article has useful info,
Except once again SS and Medicare taxes are called 'payroll taxes' as if those funds government operations like military, roads, education, etc. food stamps, sect 8, endless. They dont even cover those entitlements anymore as both are running huge deficits.
Yet they never come out and specifically say that those entitlements are unrelated to those taxes, or should be since thats what they imply.
What did Romney do?He told THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hindsight being 20-20 I can identify exactly 3 mistakes that The Gipper made during his time in office.
1) Appointing Sandy Day "Affirmative Action should be fine for...oh, let's say, another 26 1/2 years" O'Connor to SCOTUS
2) Pulling the Marines out of Lebanon and turning tail after the truck bomb.
3) Taking "low income" people "off the tax rolls".
There were plenty of people at the time counseling him against #3.
Poll Taxes are unconstitutional.......
And how many of those paid the "payroll tax" got it back (and more!) as "Earned Income Tax Credit," eh?
Poll Taxes are unconstitutional.......
The press is howling because they know Romney is right. There's no other way to slice that pie. The bottom half of the population pay little or nothing in income taxes. That's the reality. The liberal media is always hollering about wanting the "rich" to pay more income taxes. The top 50% already pay almost 100%. The top 1% pay close to 40% of all income taxes, the top 5% pay about 60%, and the top 10% pay about 70%. It would be hysterical if it weren't so tragic.
well, all I know is that my spouse and I are damned tired.
We have SLOGGED it, up every a.m. at 5:00, not coming home until past 6 or 7 for over 25 YEARS. We slogged to get our educations, to stay married, to do all the right things ...
I don't care if they're "poor." For the past 30-40 years in this nation, EVERYONE has had access to public education. We are BOTH products of public education ...and we made it.
I worked my way through college. My husband joined the military and worked his tail off.
Last time I looked, these opportunites are available to EVERYONE.
Most are "poor" because they goof off in school, drop out, have to take low paying jobs, or refuse to do the menial work and decided to sit back and take welfare and live off the streets. It's accepted in many of their cultures to do so and just STAY that way. I call PURE bullsh*t on all of this business.
Romney is RIGHT — and I hope he comes out hitting harder and harder on this. Hardworking americans are SICK of doing all the work, taking ALL the responsibility. We only get to enjoy bits and pieces of life in between work and sleep. These other clowns spend their days in front of the TV and at the slots, or sittin' on the front stoop, smokin' and jokin' with noooooo worries. They all need to hear the STAY married lecture as well.
Really tired of it.
I know a retiree who owns about $3,000,000 in tax exempt municipal bonds which he purchased with after tax dollars. He also receives Social Security retirement benefits which he contributed to for over 40 years.
So he is part of that 10.3% that pays no income or payroll tax.
I wouldn't begrudge him that, even if he weren't me.
P.S - He does pay a wide array of sales taxes, excise taxes, gas taxes, property taxes and an assortment of taxes the goverments like to call "fees".
PLUS - if Øbama has his way, he will pay a large portion of his wealth in Death Taxes.
RE: The top 50% already pay almost 100%. The top 1% pay close to 40% of all income taxes, the top 5% pay about 60%, and the top 10% pay about 70%. It would be hysterical if it werent so tragic.
They want the rich to pay their "Fair Share". What exactly is "FAIR"? They never define it.
I agree with you. Everyone needs some skin in the game.
There will ALWAYS be true patriots that don't pay taxes (but the percentage is pretty small). The problem is the vast majority of these "don't pay taxes" types all vote Democrat because raising taxes don't hurt them at all.
Those that pay payroll but no income also get a check that they never paid in the form of EITC, which can be a few thousand, which offsets any payroll tax they paid.
"Earned Income Tax Credit" was a vote buyoff of the poor created in 1975. Today, the credit can be $3,094 for the first child. $3,094 offsets a lot of payroll tax.
They do address payroll taxes, which are largely social security and medicare. These, in my view, are not really relevant to the argument at hand - given that it is federal income tax that is at the center of the current political debate.
I'm sure that the truth is much more complex than can be appreciated from a superficial examination of the data, and that this can be spun many ways depending upon what one's political position is.
Totall agree with you...the truth only hurts if you're a libtard.
The whole argument for the income tax when it was introduced was that it would only be paid by the very wealthy. And, of course, people do pay taxes via payroll, gas, etc..
Campaigning to raise the income tax on the working poor is really not a very good strategy.
This is supposedly a "gotcha" expose of the Republican claim about who pays income taxes. Which completely avoids the assertion the Dems have been bellering about that the rich don't pay their fair share of taxes. So the clown who wrote this article pulls a sleight-of-hand and says that because many of the 47& are poor and elderly, and the rest are paying payroll taxes, the Republican argument is invalid. That's not the crux of the problem. The problem is the people who are already paying close to 100% of the federal income tax burden are being accused by Dems of not paying enough. If close to 100% is not enough, how much is enough?
I am a 28% no federal tax but i am paying payroll taxes. I am proud of that, but wish I was a 53.6%
Who wants to be 18.4% unless they have no draw from the government.
What if as we get older we push to be self dependent wealthy. Nothing we do would cause the gov to pull taxes on us. Only those working would pay for what gov is doing that day. We are spending our weath fon those making thier money.
What if I was out of work and was not making a payroll tax. I would not need Gov to fund my life. I would think there would be charities I could goto to get the help my family needs. I would be dependent on my local charities that my community supports. I would strive to be the one helping the charities. Giving back to those that need is awesome.
What is wrong with the discussion? Why cant we look at what the Gov is and make it right. I dont need a Fed gov when I could have local Charities!!!!!!!
A point that WILL be overlooked by the MSM.
the part that pays payroll tax but not income tax are at least in part coverd by the EITC
"EITC, the Earned Income Tax Credit, sometimes called EIC is a tax credit to help you keep more of what you earned. It is a refundable federal income tax credit for low to moderate income working individuals and families. Congress originally approved the tax credit legislation in 1975 in part to offset the burden of social security taxes and to provide an incentive to work. When EITC exceeds the amount of taxes owed, it results in a tax refund to those who claim and qualify for the credit."
Which refunds part or in some cases more than the amout payed as payroll taxes. But why quibble about facts.
EITC is a grievous mistake, Advanced EITC adds insult to injury...in case no one knows, Advanced EITC is where a mooch with a job and a paycheck gets EITC each year, he/she can apply for "Advanced" EITC where the EMPLOYER has to dole out the expected annual payment adjust over each paycheck. The insult? The employer has to foot the cost of this until he files his own taxes each year. DISGUSTING
It's my pet peeve, dishonesty.
PAYROLL TAX is NOT an INCOME TAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so damned tired of people trying to make out like it is. They are the REQUIRED contributions to Social Security and Medicare - NOT FEDERAL TAXES. So the author's premise it is just the 'poor and elderly' is bullshit.
Indeed;versus those who believe in 'Obama money'. . .forever.

Challenge Mode Extreme
|Completed the Extreme Challenge Mode
While in Dumbledore's Office, go to his desk to select challenge mode. Play all of the extreme challenges and beat them for this achievement. It is best to complete the story before attempting these because they are all redoes to minigames during the story. Just keep trying at these, the two that were the most annoying for me was the Greenhouse one and the Minecart track one. For the greenhouse one just try to move the agitated plants to the closest empty pot not the ones open at the far end right away. Also there will be two slug attacks back to back, so don't put away your repellent until you get those two. For the Minecart track one, try to memorize the track, only lift your cart just slightly when going over broken track. And try to get past the first part without having over a second of lift time or so. Just keep trying at both of these and you should get them with a little practice.

smart. because we americans don't get it. shit is tough out there. but most privilege can't even begin to see it.
WTF? What is the death toll from starvation in the US? Undoubtedly less than the one caused by obesity. And cetrainly no where near that in other parts of the world. Absolutely sick.
mindblowing stuff!!!!!!!
they showed me a picture & i laughed
dignity has never been photographed
Great spot. Really shocking that its happening in your own backyard. You expect it to be a spot for a 3rd world nation
Now that's some serious food for thought.
Good job.
Wonderful Idea and wonderful presentation. Keep up this kind of work staff of Duncan/Channon.

Shougang Fushan Defends Coal Mine Acquisitions, Higher Margins
Shougang Fushan Resources Group Ltd., a Chinese coking coal producer partly owned by Shougang Corp., defended its acquisition of coal mines and higher margins and said the company follows good corporate governance.
The acquisition was well received by investors at the time and the higher margins are due to its superior quality of coal, Chairman Li Shaofeng said today by telephone. His comments followed a report this morning from U.S. short seller Glaucus Research Group California LLC that said Shougang Fushan overpaid a related company for the mines and inflated profit margins.
"We don't know where the information in this report came from and they never had any interaction with the company," Li said. "The listed companies under Shougang Corp. are responsible to shareholders and abide by the law."
Shougang Fushan shares fell 3.1 percent in Hong Kong trading to HK$2.53, the lowest in six months. Corporate governance of Chinese companies has come under scrutiny after short-sellers leveled allegations of financial fraud against Sino-Forest Corp., Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Ltd. and Chaoda Modern Agriculture Holdings Ltd.
The report published by Glaucus Research on its website named Matthew Wiechert as its research director. Short investors bet against a stock by selling borrowed shares with the expectation of repurchasing them at a lower price. Long investors buy shares betting the price will rise.
The trading volume of Shougang Fushan shares was almost six times the three-month average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Shougang Corp., the sixth-largest steelmaker in China by production, owns 29.4 percent of Shougang Fushan, according to the website of the Hong Kong stock exchange.
Shougang Fushan "will continue to expand production and scale and reflect the advantage of having Shougang Corp. as a major shareholder," Li said. The company is seeking to buy coking coal assets and hasn't secured any so far, he said.

Reviews From Guests
I have stayed here twice already and each time has been equally enjoyable. The location is great and meets to everybody's needs. Highly recommended to anyone.
This place was one of the best spots I ever stood at. Location location everything is in walking distance. The only thing I regret is not booking longer I already miss the place. If your looking for a extremely safe fun place with all the amenities of a 5 star hotel but even better this is it. The pics on here are to the point and the place is even prettier in person. I can't wait to book again with josh and this time for a longer stay. Josh is extremely clean, organized and has a quick response rate and always there to help but still gives you the privacy. Burbank is such a fun city to stay at and so much to do the people and the vibe in this city is amazing I'm so lucky I got to book with josh and recommend him and his place to everyone that wants a safe fun place :) thanks josh again kawaii my puppy and I had a fantastic time :)
Josh is a gracious host. The condo is very quiet, extremely clean, and very comfortable. Parking is safe and convenient. We enjoyed our stay and would look forward to returning at another date.
Great apartment in a great location! Josh was welcoming and super helpful and the apartment was everything we could have asked for. I would definitely recommend them both.
All the reviews are spot on, very clean and well-furnished apartment, centrally located, Josh himself is welcoming and friendly. This was my first time on AirBnB and had a very positive experience!
Enjoyed the stay at Josh's beautiful condo. Incredible location with walking distance to the shopping mall, movies, restaurants and bars. Josh was organized and informative and took the time to meet us and go over all amenities that we could take advantage of. Please note - this condo has the most comfortable bed! Clean and nicely decorated.
Josh's condo was very clean and comfortable. He was very accommodating, allowing us to bring our dogs. He also left a binder full of info about the building and restaurants nearby. Great location that's within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is very safe and close to many LA attractions. We really enjoyed our stay at Josh's place. I highly recommend his place to everyone visiting Southern California.
If I were in the hotel business I would be threatened by Josh. This was my first time to use Airbnb and I have to say it was a huge success. Josh was an incredible host. His place was immaculate. So close to all of the best hot spots in Burbank, and for me the proximity to Universal Studios was even more convenient. It was so easy to come home from the lot and continue working in his apartment. It was a creative space that I will be visiting again each time I travel back to Burbank. I have already recommended Josh and his home to all of my friends and I would suggest this location for anyone who wants the peace and relaxation of their own home away from home. Thanks Josh
This was our first time using Airbnb. Josh made everything super simple. He's just an amazing host. The condo is very clean and comfortable to stay in. The location is wonderful. There are tons of restaurants and shopping close by. There is easy access to public transportation if you don't rent a car or on site parking if you do. We were extremely pleased with our experience and would book this again if we needed to stay in LA in the future.
Tout simplement parfait ! L'appartement est propre très bien équipé , fidèle à la description ! C'est situé à 30 minutes ( sans embouteillage ) de tous les points d'intérêts de los angeles et l'appartement est à Burbank ou est dispo au pieds de l'immeuble de nombreux restaurants , bars et un, centre commercial ou l'on trouve tout ! Josh est très sympa et serviable !! Si je dois retourner à los angeles j'y retourne sans pb ! Merci encore !
Reviews From Hosts
I had not met josh personally but according to my flatmate, he is a great person and friendly.
We thoroughly enjoyed having Josh stay with us. He was a great guest in every way. He let us know his arrival time. He was completely respectful of our home, and left everything clean. We enjoyed chatting with him. He wasn't afraid to jump in and try milking our goats, and he was very successful at it! Host Josh if you get the chance!
So sorry I was busy and missed the window to post a review. Warren and Melanie were fabulous hosts and made my stay most enjoyable. The best part was their willingness to cater to the specific needs of each guest. I had a great stay and would highly recommend to all other airbnb users!
Josh was great. Super friendly and super clean. We couldn't ask for more from him. We hope you had a good time Josh!
I have no idea how I never met Josh when he was here. Regardless, he is a great, quiet, clean guest who is welcome back anytime!!!
Josh was a terrific guest! He was amazingly self-sufficient with regard to getting around a new city--we were quite impressed! He was extremely friendly and considerate. He even returned a glass to the cabinet after washing and drying it. Hmmmm, I should have had him give a lesson to my better half!! :-) Any future hosts should look forward to a most gracious guest!
Josh was a pleasure to have at our home! He spent ten days with us in Calgary. Quiet, respectful and lots of fun to conversate with. Josh would be welcome back here anytime!!
