Get Back in Time is an app for the Pebble smart watch. You can use it to find your way back from your hiking trip, locate your parked car or just see how far you have traveled from a certain point. Just long-press SELECT on your Pebble and your target is stored.
The app allows you to store any amount of locations, which are pushed into your personal Pebble Timeline. You can browse your Timeline to find a location you wish to return to. A menu of 20 most recent locations are also available in your watch.
Your Pebble will show you the heading and distance to your target. It uses the compass to show you which way to go and colors to indicate whether you're approaching your target or moving away from it. The target is stored so that you can use other Pebble apps in the mean time and when you return to Get Back in Time you will see up-to-date heading and distance to your target.
The app works even if your Pebble doesn't yet have the Timeline functionality.
Click or tap the items below if they correspond to your situation.
If you encounter other issues or the advice above doesn't help, send mail to email@example.com.
You can set targets also using the form below or via an API. Just POST a JSON object with position element in the root level, and a new pin will be pushed to your Timeline. The object will be pushed to the Pebble Timeline. If you insert a pin element (see Timeline Pin Structure) to your JSON object, it will be passed on as is. Otherwise a new pin with some basic properties is created automatically. Open Watch App action is added to all pins.
You need an account token in order to send locations to the server. In order to push pins to Pebble's timeline, you also need a timeline token. You can get your personal tokens from the watch app's configuration page. Open the Pebble app in your phone, select SETTINGS (or the gear icon) for Get Back in Time app and scroll to the end of the configuration screen.

The API currently runs on a low cost Heroku instance and has "best effort" service level. Please test your implementations on your own environment in order to minimize the load to the API server. If you want a better service level or if you plan to automatically push more than a dozen locations per day to your timeline, consider implementing your own API server. You can start by cloning the code on Github.
The Get Back in Time app is provided free of charge. I get no compensation for the development of the app. In addition, I'm paying Heroku $84 per year to keep the server running 24/7.
If you like the functionality of the app and would like to show your support and contribute to the server costs, you have three choices:
If you like the app (or any of my other Pebble apps) and would like to encourage me to maintain them and create new apps, you can send a small contribution to my personal Paypal account email@example.com (choose the option I'm sending money to family or friends).
I will use the money for personal recreation, take my family out for a dinner, support cool projects on Kickstarter or something similar. But most importantly, your kindness will fill my heart with joy and increase my enthusiasm to create useful and fun apps for the great Pebble user community.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (IPA pronunciation: /roli'ɬaɬa/) (born July 18, 1918) was the first President of South Africa to be elected in fully-representative democratic elections.
Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress (ANC), and was sentenced to life imprisonment for sabotage after he went underground and began the ANC's armed struggle. He saw his wife only three times over the next 27 years.
Mandela belongs to a cadet branch of the Thembu dynasty, which reigns in the Transkeian Territories of South Africa's Cape Province. He was born in Mvezo, a small village located in the district of Umtata, the Transkei capital. His patrilineal great-grandfather Ngubengcuka (who died in 1832), ruled as the Inkosi Enkhulu, or king, of the Thembu people. One of the king's sons, named Mandela, became Nelson's grandfather and the source of his surname. However, because he was only the Inkosi's child by a wife of the Ixhiba clan (the so-called "Left-Hand House", the descendants of his branch of the royal family were not eligible to succeed to the Thembu throne.
Mandela's father, Gadla Henry Mphakanyiswa, served as chief of the town of Mvezo. However, upon alienating the colonial authorities, they deprived Mphakanyiswa of his position, and moved his family to Qunu. Despite this, Mphakanyiswa remained a member of the Inkosi's Privy Council, and served an instrumental role in Jongintaba Dalindyebo's ascension to the Thembu throne. Dalindyebo would later return the favour by informally adopting Mandela upon Mphakanyiswa's death. Mandela's father had four wives, with whom he fathered a total of thirteen children (four boys and nine girls). Mandela was born to his third wife ('third' by a complex royal ranking system), Nosekeni Fanny. Fanny was a daughter of Nkedama of the Mpemvu Xhosa clan, the dynastic Right Hand House, in whose umzi or homestead Mandela spent much of his childhood.[8] His given name Rolihlahla means "to pull a branch of a tree", or more colloquially, "troublemaker".
Rolihlahla Mandela became the first member of his family to attend a school, where his teacher Miss Mdingane gave him the English name "Nelson". When Mandela was nine, his father died of tuberculosis, and the regent, Jongintaba, became his guardian. Mandela attended a Wesleyan mission school located next to the palace of the regent. Following Thembu custom, he was initiated at age sixteen, and attended Clarkebury Boarding Institute. Mandela completed his Junior Certificate in two years, instead of the usual three. Designated to inherit his father's position as a privy councillor, in 1937 Mandela moved to Healdtown, the Wesleyan college in Fort Beaufort which most Thembu royalty attended. At nineteen, he took an interest in boxing and running at the school.
After enrolling, Mandela began to study for a Bachelor of Arts at the Fort Hare University, where he met Oliver Tambo. Tambo and Mandela became lifelong friends and colleagues. Mandela also became close friends with his kinsman, Kaiser ("K.D.") Matanzima who, as royal scion of the Thembu Right Hand House, was in line for the throne of Transkei, a role that would later lead him to embrace Bantustan policies. His support of these policies would place him and Mandela on opposing political sides. At the end of Nelson's first year, he became involved in a Students' Representative Council boycott against university policies, and was told to leave Fort Hare and not return unless he accepted election to the SRC. Later in his life, while in prison, Mandela studied for a Bachelor of Laws from the University of London External Programme.
Shortly after leaving Fort Hare, Jongintaba announced to Mandela and Justice (the regent's son and heir to the throne) that he had arranged marriages for both of them. The young men, displeased by the arrangement, elected to relocate to Johannesburg. Upon his arrival, Mandela initially found employment as a guard at a mine. However, the employer quickly terminated Mandela after learning that he was the Regent's runaway ward. Mandela later started work as an articled clerk at a Johannesburg law firm, Witkin, Sidelsky and Edelman, through connections with his friend and mentor, realtor Walter Sisulu. While working at Witkin, Sidelsky and Edelman, Mandela completed his B.A. degree at the University of South Africa via correspondence, after which he began law studies at the University of Witwatersrand, where he first befriended fellow students and future anti-apartheid political activists Joe Slovo, Harry Schwarz and Ruth First. Slovo would eventually become Mandela's Minister of Housing, while Schwarz would become his Ambassador to Washington. During this time, Mandela lived in Alexandra township, north of Johannesburg.
Through his 27 years in prison, much of it spent in a cell on Robben Island, Mandela became the most widely known figure in the struggle against apartheid. Among opponents of apartheid in South Africa and internationally, he became a cultural icon of freedom and equality comparable with Mahatma Gandhi who influenced Mandela as noted by professors of history Bhana and Vahed in their 2005 text, The Making of a Political Reformer: Gandhi in South Africa, 1893-1914.
In the section of the conclusion to the text, "Gandhi's Legacy to South Africa," they note that "Gandhi inspired succeeding generations of South African activists seeking to end White rule. This legacy connects him to Nelson Mandela […] in a sense Mandela completed what Gandhi started." Indeed, Mandela took part in the 29 January – 30 January 2007 conference in New Delhi which marked the 100th anniversary of Gandhi's introduction of satyagraha in South Africa. Unlike Gandhi, however, Mandela did (at times) advocate the use of violence to achieve political change.
The apartheid government and nations sympathetic to it condemned him and the ANC as communists and terrorists, and he became a figure of hatred among many South African whites, supporters of apartheid, and opponents of the ANC.
Following his release from prison in 1990, his switch to a policy of reconciliation and negotiation helped lead the transition to multi-racial democracy in South Africa. Since the end of apartheid, he has been widely praised, even among white South Africans and former opponents.
Mandela has received more than one hundred awards over four decades, most notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. He is currently a celebrated elder statesman who continues to voice his opinion on topical issues. In South Africa he is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan. The title has come to be synonymous with Nelson Mandela.

South Africa's first multi-racial elections in which full enfranchisement was granted were held on 27 April 1994. The ANC won 62% of the votes in the election, and Mandela, as leader of the ANC, was inaugurated on 10 May 1994 as the country's first black President, with the National Party's de Klerk as his first deputy and Thabo Mbeki as the second in the Government of National Unity. As President from May 1994 until June 1999, Mandela presided over the transition from minority rule and apartheid, winning international respect for his advocacy of national and international reconciliation. Mandela encouraged black South Africans to get behind the previously hated Springboks (the South African national rugby team) as South Africa hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup. This is is the theme of the 2009 film Invictus.) After the Springboks won an epic final over New Zealand, Mandela presented the trophy to captain Francois Pienaar, an Afrikaner, wearing a Springbok shirt with Pienaar's own number 6 on the back. This was widely seen as a major step in the reconciliation of white and black South Africans.
After assuming the presidency, one of Mandela's trademarks was his use of Batik shirts, known as "Madiba shirts", even on formal occasions. In South Africa's first post-apartheid military operation, Mandela ordered troops into Lesotho in September 1998 to protect the government of Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili. This came after a disputed election prompted fierce opposition threatening the unstable government. Commentators and critics including AIDS activists such as Edwin Cameron have criticised Mandela for his government's ineffectiveness in stemming the AIDS crisis. After his retirement, Mandela admitted that he may have failed his country by not paying more attention to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Mandela has since spoken out on several occasions against the AIDS epidemic.
Mandela became the oldest elected President of South Africa when he took office at the age of 75 in 1994. He decided not to stand for a second term and retired in 1999, to be succeeded by Thabo Mbeki.
After his retirement as President, Mandela went on to become an advocate for a variety of social and human rights organisations. He has expressed his support for the international Make Poverty History movement of which the ONE Campaign is a part.
The Nelson Mandela Invitational charity golf tournament, hosted by Gary Player, has raised over twenty million rand for children's charities since its inception in 2000.This annual special event has become South Africa's most successful charitable sports gathering and benefits both the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund and Gary Player Foundation equally for various children's causes around the world.
Mandela is a vocal supporter of SOS Children's Villages, the world's largest organisation dedicated to raising orphaned and abandoned children. Mandela appeared in a televised advertisement for the 2006 Winter Olympics, and was quoted for the International Olympic Committee's Celebrate Humanity campaign:
For seventeen days, they are roommates. For seventeen days, they are soulmates. And for twenty-two seconds, they are competitors. Seventeen days as equals. Twenty-two seconds as adversaries. What a wonderful world that would be. That's the hope I see in the Olympic Games.

Cost of Living in San Francisco
San Francisco is one of the US cities known for its high cost of living and with a cost of living index that is at least 87% higher than the US average.
Expatriates who find themselves in this city are usually doctors, nurses or IT professionals who enjoy attractive remuneration packages.
Due to the geographical makeup of the city where the area is concentrated in a limited city center, little room has been left for individual houses which are most expensive and hardest to find. A more affordable option comes in one or two-bedroom apartments which cost anywhere from $1,200 to $4,000 a month. For singles or smaller households, one can get studio apartment for at least $ 1000.
Buying a Property
The margin between the upper and lower scale houses in San Francisco is widening and while both are expected to be on an uptrend, the current median price for a two-bedroom Bay Area home is from $656,700 to $711,000. The most expensive neighborhoods in San Francisco include Russian Hill, Marina, Pacific Heights, Nob Hill, Mission Bay, Noe Valley, South Beach and South of Market where houses can cost up to $ 800,000 while the cheapest areas can be found around Sunset District, Vayview and Visitation Valley. Due to differences and overlaps between state and federal real estate laws, it is important for an expatriate to consult a local real estate agent in San Francisco before buying any properties to prevent legal complications.
Utility costs in San Francisco consist of phone, internet, water, electricity, cable and natural gas consumptions. A landline costs about $30 a month, provided it is not used for long-distance calls, while a DSL connection can run about $32 per month or around $8 per week. Cable will cost about $15 per week while the two major utilities, electricity, and gas, can get quite costly, especially during the hotter months and can run up to several hundred dollars a month. Water, which is often included in rent, can cost about $45.00 to $60.00 monthly when paid separately.
San Francisco is known for its multinational cuisine from Chinese to Western and also for its high-end restaurant prices. A three-course meal that includes an appetizer, main course and desert can cost anywhere from $25 - 100 plus per head while those who cook at home spend much less with an average monthly food budget of about $200 - 300 a week.
The San Francisco Municipal Railroad or MUNI is the city's main public transit system where a basic fare of $ 1.50 covers about a 90-minute ride or $.50 for seniors and the disabled. Cable car rides cost $5 each and $1.00 between 9pm to 7am for seniors and disabled passengers. The Muni Fast Pass costs about $45 per month and $10 for seniors and those with youth passes. Weekly passes are good for $15 with a $1 surcharge for a ride on the cable car.
As a global city, San Francisco is recognized for its linkages that bear direct and significant socio-economic influences on the international community. For this reason and more, people understand why the cost of life in the city is nothing ordinary.

transporting ONLY the work super shuttle gave me permission to transport
I was pushed out unfairly "constructive termination" in 07 after 4 yrs of ongioing disputes over super shuttles untolerable work enviroment
I can only make the public aware that
super shuttle does not run a company based on any business ethics they lack integrity and morals they are decietful and dishonest

and prayer for justice Super Shuttle must be held responsible for their actions
PS...those who have had bad expereiences on a super shuttle

Another driver who was running franchising a business had 2 drivers working for him, and even after having the van on the road, he made sh*t.
What both companies don't tell you is you have to keep the van running 24 hours a day, to make meager wages, while the idiots making an hourly paycheck in dispatch and management are laughing at you bust your a*s for nothing.
I got out with less than $2000 in losses. Fortunately I'll claim that on my taxes next year for I'm still collecting unemployment. Oh BTW ShuttletoLax.com is part of Prime Time. Tell me how drivers are supposed to make money on a $20 fare?
Here is what was sent to me in email before I signed up for their ripoff.
About the OpportunityToday, PRIME TIME'S Owner-Operators form the core of our driving staff. An Owner-Operator,
with their vested interest in our business, provides a higher level of service than the typical employee driver. It has to do with the pride-in-ownership that goes along with being an Owner-Operator.Owner-Operators have the complete support of PRIME TIME SHUTTLE'S operation facility. A new Owner-Operator goes through a comprehensive training program and quickly becomes an expert in airport operation and customer service.Contrary to what many people think, previous airport transportation experience is not a key element in making a successful Owner-Operator. Some of our most successful Owner-Operators have come from completely different fields. We have former teachers, police officers, business people of all types and even doctors who own their own vans and drive for PRIME TIME SHUTTLE. What they have in common is a desire for independence and a love for both driving and interacting with people.As a PRIME TIME Owner-Operator you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
An small investment is required, as low as $3,000, to become an Owner-Operator and a good income is available to all who enjoy people and driving.ResponsibilitiesCustomer Service - Providing great customer service Timeliness - Being On-Time picking up passengers Cleanliness - Keeping your vehicle clean and maintained.BenefitsSet your own hours - The more you work the more you make. Good customer service turns into better tips.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

I've been trying to get my head around the $wpdb object and having looked briefly at the manual I couldn't see there being any automagical way of paging records.
Am I right to think that the wpdb object is just for query abstraction and implementing paging routines is something you have to do for yourself?

Local officials made reunion memorable
Published: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 at 11:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 19, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
The USS Terrebonne Parish (LST 1156) Association recently held its second annual reunion in the ship's namesake parish in the wonderful city of Houma with nearly 125 attendees from 27 states across the country.
The reunion provided former crew members and their guests with an opportunity to rekindle relationships and to enjoy updates on old friends, and, of course, nostalgia within the gracious hospitality of the parish and the city of Houma.
We would like to express our appreciation to all of the residents of the parish who helped to ensure the success of our program. Parish President Bobby Bergeron, state Sen. Reggie Dupre, state Rep. Hunt Downer and Parish Council Chairman Clayton Voisin and their spouses made our visit such a memorable experience.
The tireless assistance of Mart Black, the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government cultural resources and economic development director, made our program successful. Our four-day event would not have run smoothly without him.
We were, indeed, guests of honor. From the excitement of the Downtown Live After 5 program to the tour of the Southdown Plantation and Waterlife Museum, along with a swampboat tour, our visit was an exciting and memorable experience. There is much to see and enjoy in your fine city.
We were welcomed with open arms, leaving each of us with memories to be long treasured.
The support of everyone in the parish made our second annual reunion a very special kind of "homecoming."
David Bader
President, USS Terrebonne Parish (LST 1156) Association

Finding the right yoga mat entails more than just walking into a sports store and buying the first mat you see. If at all possible, buy your mat from a yoga studio or a place that specializes in yoga equipment. They might have a larger variety and be better informed to help you make a decision.
Step 1
Search for a sticky yoga mat for better safety. Sticky yoga mats -- usually made of PVC but also available made of rubber or jute with a raised texture -- provide traction, so you don't have to worry about slips and falls when you're trying to get into a difficult position. United Yogis recommend testing the mat if you can -- simply stepping on it without your shoes will give you an idea of how stable it is and how much it slides when you push. Ideally, you want a mat that's very difficult to move once it's been rolled open.
Step 2
Look for a yoga mat that fits your size. Some companies sell yoga mats in different sizes, rather than having only one standard size. The standard yoga mat is usually 68 inches, although this might vary slightly among companies. If you have a particularly long torso or wide back, choose a large mat that will offer the right support when you're doing floor exercises. If the mat is narrower than your body, you might end up touching the floor, which can be painful or uncomfortable during certain poses.
Step 3
Feel a few different thicknesses to see which one is right for you. Standard yoga mats are one-eighth of an inch thick, according to Gaiam Life. These are very easy to roll and carry, but might be uncomfortable if you're doing advanced yoga poses that put a lot of pressure on your knees or head. Thicker yoga mats of about one-fourth of an inch are better for support.
- If you practice a yoga lifestyle, chances are you want to maintain as much of a green lifestyle as you can. In that case, try looking for mats made with recycled rubber or natural materials, such as jute.
- Prices for yoga mats vary considerably. If your budget is low, go for a basic PVC mat that's one-eighth of an inch thick. If you start looking for special thicknesses or sizes, different materials or special logos or decorations, the price will go up.

I'm having trouble changing the password of a WordPress user to a value containing a mixture of punctuation and alphanumeric characters and was interested to know if this is supported?
From what I can work out from the code, the use of backslashes in passwords is specifically not allowed, but I noticed that entering a password containing a double quote (ASCII code 34) also produces the same error about the use of a backslash.
Looking at the PHP documentation for the md5() hashing function, I can't see any limitations on the character set that can be used as an input. So perhaps there's another reason for these restrictions?

Skip to comments.Kathleen Parker: Newt Gingrich and the forgiveness ploy
Posted on 01/21/2012 2:09:49 PM PST by SeekAndFind
Newt Gingrichs standing ovation Thursday night, when he attacked CNN moderator John King for asking about allegations that Gingrich wanted an open marriage with his second wife, told us little about South Carolina but much about human nature.
The query, for which King has been exhaustively critiqued, was both necessary and inevitable. Forget the elephant in the living room; it was the herd in the powder room.
In a nutshell: The more you pick on a person for human failings with which all can identify, the more likely you will create sympathy rather than antipathy, especially if that individual has been forthright in his confession and penitent for his transgression, as Gingrich has been. He was ahead of the curveball this time, with nothing left to tell or for his aggrieved former wife to expose.
To err is human; to forgive divine. We like that way of thinking because we all need others forgiveness. When Gingrich turned to his audience and said that we all know pain we all know people who have suffered pain he instantly morphed from sinner to savior, the redeemer in chief. He correctly counted on the empathy of his fellow man, if not necessarily womankind, and won the moment.
But a moment is just that, and projection of the sort experienced by the Charleston, S.C., audience can be fraught with peril. Over-identification clouds judgment, and, though we are all sinners, we are not all running for president of the United States. Gingrichs sins of the flesh ultimately are of less importance than the narcissism and grandiosity that compel his actions.
Voters would do well to think less of what they would do in his shoes than what Gingrich will do, should he win the prize.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Is narcissism bad? Is grandiosity bad?
Then I guess Obama is toast
KP assails Gingrich as a narcissist, yet she unabashedly supported the biggest narcissist in American politics today (Obama). Although, one would be hard-pressed to conclude — between Obama and Bill Clinton — upon whom that title should rightfully fall; but Bill Clinton is not, arguably, in American politics today, at least as a candidate or officeholder.
I don't who is more annoying, Parker or Noonan. I think Parker is the dumber of the two.
*big grin*
Parker is a hack writer hired by the POST because they needed a house "Republican".
Only Democrats read her. Her job is to validate the beliefs of liberals about conservatives she hates, though she pretends to be one.
She is part of the Obama media...pay her no attention, maybe she will go away.
Who IS this woman anyway? We only here from this ash hole when she has something to say attacking conservatives.
What is it with the insiders in DC and their claws being out for anyone but Romney?
This is a decision and a judgement each of us has to make with regard to Gingrich. Either its a ploy, or it was sincere.
My view is that he saw his life unravel when he saw his life's ambition taken from him, and he had to do some real soul-searching.
My view also is that God gave him his life back. And he knows it.
If you don't believe he was sincere, then you can't vote for him. I do support him. I like Santorum and if he was the nominee I'd gladly support him. But Gingrich is a warrior. I'm glad he is back in the fight.
No matter, it's just Kathleen securing her chair at the next Establishment dinner party. Gotta say what you gotta say.
Polls in SC show Newt winning among women.
Actually she was fired By Client Number 9.
Interesting that Kathleen Parker doesn't want to talk about the circumstances of her first marriage and subsequent divorce and then her 2nd marriage. And why she kept the name of her first husband (Parker) and didn't take the one of her current one (Cleveland).
If Barack Obama --> FUBO
Kathleen Parker --> ????
Karl Rove --> ????
Charles Krauthammer --> ????
Are you sure they aren't the same person? Have they ever been seen in the same room at the same time?
If Barack Obama --> FUBO
Charles Krauthammer --> ????
Karl Rove --> ????
Kathleen Parker --> ????
Forgiveness is not a ploy, more a necessity
Any why do we post garbage from the NY times?
He was absolutely justified in responding the way he did, especially since the slander was contained in the debate's very first question and was no doubt intended to become the debate's theme. Go Newt!
This shrew needs to shrivel up and blow away.
On second thought she's already shriveled up.
She should just blow away.
Noonan puts her comments into a historical perspective. She misunderstands history but at least she is aware of it.
Parker must go to dinner parties in DC and NYC, write down what people she thinks are smart say, and she parrots that.
But she seems to not get the jokes and the irony goes right over her head.
HA, she was doing so well until she got there and FAILED.
Parker is a self-professed Republican who hates Republicans- rather like a lesbian who hates lesbians. Why be a lesbian then?!
Kathleen Parker, charter member of the DC RINOs club and one of the foremost boosters of any Pretend Republican like Myth "Shape-shifter" Romney.
Liberals should be especially concerned when we, as a people, decide that people are in no way salvageable as Christians and human beings under any circumstances.
...and Jennifer Rubin.
Who was the married man the ex dated before she dated Newt? Why did that previous relationship break up? Who broke it up? Him or her? Why? Was it because he refused to leave his wife for her? What is her political registration? Who were and are her close friends? Are they mostly extreme Democrats or should I say Democrat extremists? And what were her intentions from day one when she met Newt? I have more questions about her, her intentions and her credibility then I do about Newt and his ability to lead this country. Perhaps he hasn't been at his best as a husband, but I think if elected and given a fair chance as President he would do a much job, then the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
"Gingrich is a warrior."
Both a warrior and a narcissist command attention. Yet it is the motives of each that greatly differ. A warrior loves his country and will fight for it, the attention he commands is his battle armor. A warrior will tell people when he thinks they are wrong and when necessary admit his own failures. While a narcissist commands attention that reflects his best image of himself. He doesn't necessarily love his country or anyone else, but he loves himself. A narcissist also believes anyone who doesn't think he is the most superior of persons is not only wrong, but has something extremely wrong with them.
there are two people I never read...Krugman and Parker
Kathleen is bait who swims with liberal sharks.
What's her IQ? I'd guess that mice can figure out a maze to the cheese twice as quick as this 30 IQ moron.
She needs to wear a necklace that says,"I'm more stupid than you and I can prove it."

Liberal radio is airing bad jokes and worst taste
The United States "is on the slippery slope to theocratic fascism." "The Catholic Church has been secretly encouraging oral sex for years." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld "ought to be tortured." President Bush should be taken out and shot.
Those are a few nutso nuggets from the hosts of Air America Radio, which calls itself the new liberal voice.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
When did pat buchanan and harry browne start writing for Air America?
The left is saying this more openly these days. The Secret Service needs to do their duty and take out these antiAmerican thugs.
Death threats against the president are a Federal crime.
I'm disgusted to hear that GM had been running ads on Err Amerika. I'm glad I don't own any GM vehicles; I might have had to junk them.
Who ever would have thought Al Franken was in the neoBund?
If Franken & Co. hate the pill-popping Limbaugh so much, why imitate his tarpit tone?
Oh yeah, this is going to be a REALLY successful radio network.
Name the advertisers and contact information.
It sounds like they're hoping one lone nut might take them seriously. They'll be everything they accused the rightwing media of being.
Rock bottom came when she [Randi Rhodes] compared Bush and his family to the Corleones in the "Godfather" saga. "Like Fredo, somebody ought to take him out fishing and phuw," she said, imitating the sound of gunfire.
When it comes to the war against GWB, ms. rhodes is unwilling to give peace a chance.
"Watch your head Miss Rhodes."
"Sorry...my bad."

Advances in Fruit Aroma Volatile Research
AbstractFruits produce a range of volatile compounds that make up their characteristic aromas and contribute to their flavor. Fruit volatile compounds are mainly comprised of esters, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, lactones, terpenoids and apocarotenoids. Many factors affect volatile composition, including the genetic makeup, degree of maturity, environmental conditions, postharvest handling and storage. There are several pathways involved in volatile biosynthesis starting from lipids, amino acids, terpenoids and carotenoids. Once the basic skeletons are produced via these pathways, the diversity of volatiles is achieved via additional modification reactions such as acylation, methylation, oxidation/reduction and cyclic ring closure. In this paper, we review the composition of fruit aroma, the characteristic aroma compounds of several representative fruits, the factors affecting aroma volatile, and the biosynthetic pathways of volatile aroma compounds. We anticipate that this review would provide some critical information for profound research on fruit aroma components and their manipulation during development and storage.

John Kasich's name will not be on the presidential ballot this year. The name of Donald Trump, of course, will be on that ballot – a name that John Kasich is loath to even speak out loud, much less endorse. The governor of the Buckeye State is left to wonder what might have been.

Jean-Laurent Casanova, MD, PhD, Professor and Head, St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases, the Rockefeller University; HHMI Investigator; and Senior Attending Physician, the Rockefeller University Hospital, will present the first Heberden Society Lecture of the 2015-16 academic year on Wednesday, September 9, at The New York Academy of Medicine. The lecture is co-sponsored by NYAM'S Center for the History of Medicine and Public Health and is open to the public.
The Human Genetic Theory of Infectious Diseases: A Brief History
Wednesday, September 9. 6:00 PM
The New York Academy of Medicine, 1216 Fifth Avenue at 103rd St.
Please register at http://www.nyam.org/events/2015/2015-09-09.html The event is free but registration is recommended.
Until the mid-nineteenth century, life expectancy at birth averaged 20 years worldwide, owing mostly to childhood fevers. The source of such illness was a topic of great debate. In a wide-ranging talk, Dr. Jean-Laurent Casanova of the Rockefeller University presents the history of both the germ theory and the emerging genetic theory of infectious diseases. The germ theory of diseases proposed specific, external sources for infection. However, around the turn of the twentieth century, asymptomatic infection was discovered to be much more common than clinical disease. Population and clinical geneticists proposed a complementary hypothesis, a germline genetic theory of infectious diseases. Over the past century, this idea has gained some support, particularly among clinicians and geneticists, but has also encountered resistance, particularly among microbiologists and immunologists. Dr. Casanova presents the genetic theory of infectious diseases, and discusses its history and the challenges it encountered from apparently competing but actually complementary microbiological and immunological theories.
Jean-Laurent Casanova, MD, PhD, is a Professor and Head of the St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases at the Rockefeller University, Senior Attending Physician at the Rockefeller University Hospital, and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is a pediatrician and immunologist by training, and in practice, has become a human geneticist investigating infectious diseases. He discovered that life-threatening infectious diseases of childhood may be caused by single-gene inborn errors of immunity. He revealed single-gene mutations that create 'holes' in the immune system of children who are susceptible to specific infectious diseases, yet remain normally resistant to other infectious agents.
Dr. Casanova's research started with a simple question: what is it that makes some children develop a severe clinical illness in the course of infection while others exposed to the same microbe remain unharmed? In path-breaking research, he discovered that single-gene lesions in children can confer selective vulnerability to certain infectious illnesses. Until these discoveries, single-gene lesions were only thought to underlie rare Mendelian traits, predisposing affected children to multiple infectious diseases--the classical primary immunodeficiencies.
The Heberden Society, which seeks to promote an interest in the history of medicine, was founded at the medical center in 1975. With funding from the WCMC Office of the Dean, the Society sponsors a series of lectures each academic year.

Hi all,
How do I get the plugin's metabox to show up on Post Edit or Page Edit screen? I need to insert custom keywords for each page/post. Just installed and activated the plugin, filled out my UA code manually. It is inserting the proper tracking code into pages just fine.
Has it been perhaps taken out in the latest version of the plugin?
It's missing from the Screen Options as well. Here's the metabox I'm talking about (screenshot from another installation where it works fine): http://i48.tinypic.com/r2nqmr.jpg

Baby Elephant Seals Nursing On Their Mamas
read moreread less
Baby elephant seals by the hundreds come to this beach in San Simeon, by the lighthouse on the PCH/Hwy 1 just north of Cambria, California every winter. They birth, nurse, then mate from December to February. Very sweet and magical feeling on this cold, windy beach. The seals are massive, some sleepy and some full of personality. Reminiscent of the seals on Pier 39 in San Fran. Being witness to them nursing their newborns makes this site so special and unique. A website and live webcam is also available to read more.

There are movies which create a lot of buzz with their adult content. Apart from the sultry clothing, some steamy scenes and posing nude have become a trend to make some news. A lot of celebrities have gathered much required attention by going bare on magazine covers. Gone are the days when wearing bikini lead to a lot of controversies. These days, movie posters are the new thing where actresses are getting intimate, shedding clothes and giving sultry looks to tempt you.
However, movie posters are also like the magazine covers which sell the tickets in theaters. Some actresses have gone a little bold by flaunting their bare figures on movie posters. Yes, you read it right. There are some Bollywood actresses who went topless on movie posters.
From Sunny Leone to Kareena Kapoor, some Bollywood actresses did not mind shedding clothes and going topless on movie posters. For example, Sunny Leone went completely nude for Ragini MMS 2 posters.
Kareena Kapoor who plays by her own rules first surprised her fans by wearing a bikini in Tashan and flaunting her size zero figure, then the stylish actress went topless on Kurbaan movie poster.
Here are some of the controversial movie posters where actresses went topless.

The Power of Being You
Giving too much of yourself and saying yes too often is something many people are accustomed to doing to avoid conflicts and feelings of guilt. A sincere desire to give is wonderful, however, there's a distinction between giving of yourself and giving up yourself.
Though the causes of habitual masking may stem from childhood and be challenging to overcome, real writing requires that you grapple with them. In addition to hindering writing, this behavior causes resentment, fatigue, anxiety and stress.
Notes that the way out is through quiet time and meditation so that you can contemplate who you really are. By extension, the writing life can work towards a resolution as it requires quiet time and focused thinking about the self in relation to others.
However, for the writing to be therapeutic, you must be conscious of your history of self denial and connect to who you really are. You must find acceptance of your inner self, where your writing-self resides.

Multiple Employment and Training Programs:
Overlapping Programs Indicate Need for Closer Examination of Structure
GAO-01-71: Published: Oct 13, 2000. Publicly Released: Oct 13, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7202
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
A strong competitive workforce is necessary for success in today's era of technological advances and increased global competition. Congress wants to ensure that employment and training programs foster a coherent and efficient approach to helping individuals find jobs in an environment characterized by changing labor demands. GAO identified 40 federally funded employment and training programs for which a key program goal is providing assistance to persons trying to find employment or improve their job skills. The most frequently cited target populations were Native Americans, youths, and veterans. Several programs target the same populations and provide similar services. This overlap could result in inefficiencies and redundancies. To assess whether such overlap is creating duplication among programs, agencies need to collect and analyze information on the eligibility requirements for the target populations. Federal regulations, such as the Government Performance and Results Act, provide agencies with the opportunity to coordinate their activities with other agencies. It also provides agencies with a framework to measure and evaluate the progress of their efforts.

—We agree with Dr Garza that the San Francisco data indicate how varied are jurisdictions and support test strategies differentiated according to local needs, conditions, and characteristics. The adequacy and validity of screening questions need to be established, and efforts to improve their sensitivity and specificity should not be abandoned in favor of universal blood lead testing. To this end, self-evaluation tools could be developed for use by families in concert with clinicians.Dr Schaffer noted the unclear generalizability of the Orange County findings, but our intent was not to develop a database from which to generalize and develop policy for other jurisdictions, but to illustrate the need for community-based assessment and data-driven local policy.
