I'm trying to move the product price below the product short description, instead of above the product short description.
I moved the title OK, but this one has me a little confused - the documentation doesn't really help too much either; it explains roughly what hooks/filters are and gives a long list of available hooks, but no real examples to guide you through to teach it unfortunately.
Here's the code I used to move the title above the images/short-description
/*---Move Product Title*/
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 5 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_title', 5 );
And I understand what it's doing - remove the product title from the product summary, and then place it back into the page before the product summary. Right?
Anyway, what I want to do now is remove the price from the product summary, and then place it back into the product summary further down? Reordering within the summary is a little different to taking an element out and placing it above, so any help appreciated!

New book on Vt environmentalism to be launched in Montpelier
MONTPELIER The authors of a new book about the environmental movement in Vermont will discuss it Tuesday evening at the Goddard Art Gallery in downtown Montpelier.
The authors, Elizabeth Courtney and Eric Zencey, will be there from 5 to 7:30 p.m. to talk about the book, the last 50 years of the environmental movement, what they learned in writing the book, and what Vermonts experience may mean for the planet.
Greening Vermont: The Search for a Sustainable State explores how the arrival of the petroleum economy in the 1950s transformed the state, and the response of the environmental movement.
Courtney has been a landscape architect, the executive director of the Vermont Natural Resources Council and a member and chairwoman of Vermonts Act 250 Environmental Board.
Zencey has held multiple fellowships, including a Guggenheim, and is the author of the best-seller Panama. He is a fellow at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics and a board member of VNRC.

The equations for the armature-controlled dc motor shown in Figure P50 follow. The motor's current is i, and its rotational velocity is ω.
where L, R, and I are the motor's inductance, resistance, and inertia; KT and Ke are the torque constant and back emf constant; c is a viscous damping constant; and υ(t) is the applied voltage.
a. Find the characteristic polynomial and the characteristic roots.
b. Use the values R = 0.8 Ω, L = 0.003 H, KT = 0.05 N•m/A, Ke = 0.05 V•s/rad, and I = 8 × 10−5 kg •m2. The damping constant c is often difficult to determine with accuracy. For these values find the expressions for the two characteristic roots in terms of c.
c. Using the parameter values in part b, determine the roots for the following values of c (in N•m • s): c = 0, c = 0.01, c = 0.1, and c = 0.2. For each case, use the roots to estimate how long the motor's speed will take to become constant; also discuss whether the speed will oscillate before it becomes constant.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
At 7:30pm I heard a knock on my door. I thought it was my neighbor because we both rent either side of an old house here in Marlboro MA. I opened it and was greeted by a tall young black man carrying a binder, who didn't identify himself, but wanted to let me know that he was from Direct Energy and that "notices" were recently mailed letting me know about the changes in electric rates that were to come. He let me know the rates I'd be paying would be alot more now that winter was over and summer was about to begin. He opened his binder and pulled out what looked like a National Grid form but really wasn't - It was a transfer form for Direct Energy. He said he didn't want my personal information, just my National Grid bill. He asked me to go and get it so he could fill out his little form and give me new service even if he never explained to me what the heck was going on. I already knew. I told him that wasn't going to happen since I was not going to give my personal information out to a stranger and I'm fine with my current service. I made it clear I wasn't going to transfer to an unknown provider. The kid wanted to know if he should bother my neighbors and I told him don't bother. He left and went on down the street to harass more unsuspecting residents. Nice.
This is why I putting up this report. When I got my "notice" aka JUNK MAIL back in February, I went to Ripoff Report and did some research on Direct Energy and found that it was not favorable.
So, I tossed my "notice" aka JUNK MAIL right into the trash.
This kid didn't ID himself, didn't explain why he was at my door so late, didn't explain the form he pulled out, didn't have a business card, didn't have brochures explaining what Direct Energy did, nor did he have info on the transfer of service part. He used the word "notice" to mask the fact that Direct Energy had actually sent out a marketing letter (aka JUNK MAIL) 2 months ago letting consumers know they were now offering electric service in Mass and would you please use us instead of NGrid or some other provider. By using the word "notice" the kid was trying to trick me into thinking that my electric service was going to be shut off since April is when shut off notices go out, or my rates would sky-rocket. So, if I go to Direct Energy, I wouldn't have these problems. Don't let words fool you. Notice = Junk Mail.
Don't give out your personal info via a bill to a stranger, especially one who doesn't ID themselves or why they are at your door at 7:30pm.
Don't sign any forms no matter how "official" they look. You just may regret it.
Don't give in to what the sales person is trying to accomplish and just say NO!

Nice Coverage but Overwhelming Scent
I really like the texture and coverage I get with this - but the scent is a bit overwhelming. I try to avoid heavily scented products but I liked the feel of this one enough to try it. I also really like that it is 50 SPF and has left my skin feeling hydrated all day, but not oily.
Unfortunately, on days when I have headaches I think I'll have to avoid my new cushion!
Like it
I really like this product but for oily skin is not helpful. It would be perfect to have available this sun protector oil control as well.
perfect foundation, darker shades please
this i is the best foundation i have ever used. it isn't heavy at all but it covers perfectly, even on my undamaged skin. but, PLEASE, make it in a darker shade for those of us who are naturally darker or who live in sunny climates. i am both....
Love the feel!
I really love the way it looks on my skin and so far it doesn't highlight my large pores at all. But did anyone else find the 102 light pink not light enough? I'm fair skinned but it's summer now and I am half a shade darker than usual. Yet the 102 was still darker than me. Is there a way to mix something with it to make it a little lighter or any suggestions?
Great on my combo skin
I bought this for the look but it turns out that this is the ONLY foundation that doesn't make me break out. It's kind of wasteful to have to buy a new compact each time. Refills only would be great!

Count NBA commentator Greg Anthony in the Mitt Romney column.
No stranger to politics, the Nevada native and former UNLV and NBA player is featured in a new ad for the Republican presidential nominee
"I really lost faith in [Barack Obama]," Anthony says in the 30 second ad, which was uploaded to You Tube Friday. "I'm supporting Mitt Romney. He's a no-excuse kind of guy and over the last four years, I think we've heard enough excuses."
During the ad, Anthony admits he voted for Obama in 2008 because he "thought he'd be a centrist." He also says high unemployment rates in Nevada is another reason he's not supporting the president again.
As far as his 11-year NBA career, he is mostly remembered for his time with the New York Knicks during the early 1990s. He was far more successful in college, where he starred with other future NBA players Larry Johnson and Stacey Augmon at UNLV. The 1990 team won an NCAA Championship.
In college, Anthony was a national vice-chairman for the Young Republicans from 1989-91. He is currently an basketball analyst on NBA TV and CBS Sports.

4 thoughts on "Greg Anthony, Ex- NBA Player Supports Romney"
How Much was he paid to do the ad, and how could he expect President Obama to fix a mess that took 8 years to build in 4 years. he can't see that this man is a bald face liar, and will say anythiing to get elected, wake up people the man dosen't care about anybody but himself…and by the way, how can the POTUS fix anything or pass any legislation when all the Republican congress can do is block everything the president tries to get done, and the ironic thing about all of it is…they (the republicans was for it, before they were against it), but because this Black Man is for it now they have a problem with the very things they were for in the pass…wake up people, and smell what the Romney/Ryan crew is shovelling…
Blacks have had problems coming together forever a major problem with the race, so if your Black and you vote republican don't take it personal but go get Micheal Jackson's plastic surgeon and keep it real. C/Ya
Why cant we respect other peoples opinions and beliefs?
Gina you see it baby its out there, its over there Gina" you see it baby. See what martin? See what baby ? My mind its out there baby I must have lost it Gina.

MONTROSE, Colo. - (KKCO) For the fifth straight year the Montrose Indians have qualified for the 4A State Tournament in high school football. And this time around the Indians are hoping for a better outcome.
In each of the past four seasons the Indians have failed to advance any further than the second round of the playoffs. But in 2009 Montrose (9-1) has the fourth seed which guarantees the team a high probability of hosting the first two rounds of the tournament.

Never miss another 'Birmingham Bach Choir' show
The Glory Of Easter: Birmingham Bach Choir
The choir will perform Victoria's Tenebrae Responsories, alongside Poulenc's Quatre motets pour un temps de penitence.
Written in the 1570s, Tomás Luis de Victoria's 18 Tenebrae Responsories for choir and soloists are among the Spanish composers' most inspired works.
Tenebrae (Latin for 'shadows' or 'darkness') is a Christian religious service celebrated on the evening before or early morning of the last three days of Holy Week – Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. Music and candles play a large part in the service. Whilst the liturgy is sung the church is lit by 15 candles (representing the 11 apostles, the three Marys, and Christ) on a triangular stand. As each psalm is chanted, a candle was extinguished, so that after the 14th psalm only the highest candle, representing Christ, is still alight, leaving the church in near darkness.
Continuing the spiritual theme, this work is contrasted by a performance of Francis Poulenc's Quatre motets pour un temps de penitence, completed in 1939 – three years after the French composer had rediscovered his Roman Catholic faith following the death of several friends.
Birmingham Bach Choir
As one of the UK's leading large chamber choirs Birmingham Bach Choir has been contributing to the musical life of the West Midlands since 1919, making it one of the oldest musical groups in the area.
Although they perform music spanning over 300 years, their main focus is the Baroque period (especially JS Bach), plus 20th and 21st century works.
Conductor Paul Spicer brings to the choir his great expertise and international reputation as conductor, teacher, composer and writer.

If you listened to this book in its podcast form, you'll still have a chance at a little new content, as I've included two additional short stories to this edition, the Christmas-themed tale "Lonely Miracle" and the prequel short story "Inciting Incident." If you've already read both of those stories in their previous eBook editions (in my own A Long November and Other Tales of Christmas and the first edition of Flying Island Press's Flagship anthology, respectively)… well, then this author's note is the only new content for you. But thanks anyway for your purchase, I could use the cash.
Special thanks to Jacob Bascle for providing the cover to this edition of the book, my uncle Wallace Faucheux for providing the original cover (I really loved it, but I wanted to differentiate this edition from the first one), my sister Heather Keller for the logo for the Evercast podcast, my brother Jeff Hendricks for the Evercast theme music and for unending faith and support, to Eric Barrett for being the last line of defense between me and the world of typos, and to my Erin, for poking and prodding me until this story was finally available to everybody again.
This book is not the end for my stories, or even for the tales of Siegel City. You'll be able to keep track what I'm doing at my website, www.evertimerealms.com, for as long as I can keep updating it.
Okay, enough of this. Let's get to what you came here for. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and enter a world of heroes… and those who just wish they were.
Sometimes I still look at the sky and remember what it was like from the ground. I remember what it was like to stand on solid Earth and gaze at bodies in flight, not knowing what it was like to be a part of them. Sometimes I am lost in amazement at what I have become.

Cool job
EASY DOES IT: Dudley first-grade teacher Blake Erickson sits in a special chair used to perform maintenance on windmills. The chair is attached to a pump setter truck owned and operated by Richeson Well Service. Joe Richeson (below), general manager of the business, was invited by first graders to tell about his job during a study of "cool jobs." Others in the community, such as a physician's assistant, also came in to tell about careers.

Headed To The New Orleans Bowl? Here Are All The Awesome Events Going On This Weekend
Last one out of Lafayette today, turn out the lights please!
Last one out of Lafayette today, turn out the lights please!
Two days to go until the 2012 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl between Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns and the East Carolina Pirates. Are you gonna be in that number of Cajuns fans in the Big Easy?
A traffic note for those making the trip to New Orleans this weekend.
Who does the computer pick? East Carolina? The Ragin Cajuns? Watch the video to find out!
Louisiana Ragin' Cajun linebacker Le'Marcus Gibson has come across his fair share of adversity in the last six years.
In this video, FootballGameplan.com's Emory Hunt, a former running back for the Cajuns, gives an in-depth break down the New Orleans Bowl game and ends with his prediction.
Lafayette City-Parish President Joey Durel and mayor of Greenville, North Carolina, Allen Thomas, have agreed to a friendly wager over the New Orleans Bowl this weekend.
I know, I know, I know, they will play the game inside however there is a lot of stuff going on outside the Superdome too. That means we will need to know what to expect from Mother Nature.
There's only 18 days till Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns take on the East Carolina Pirates in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. A lot of you have already reserved your tickets and your hotel room, now you need to know what festivities are going on leading up to the big game.
Looks like the Ragin Cajuns finally know who their opponent will be when they head to their second consecutive New Orleans Bowl on December 22.

It will crash your database, maybe not at first but trust me it will. had it installed on 5 website and it destroyed all of them. I had to restore all of them from a 30 day prior to install backup, and I lost a month of data/sales had to re-install whmcs... a complete nightmare.
Oh and it wasn't that my hardware couldn't handle it. I'm running 24 Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz 10core CPU (that's 240 processing units) w/24GB memory on Cloudlinux running SSD in a raid 10 config.
Wow this plugin is amazing!!! (i was able to purchase the full version plugin from codecanyon before it was taken down)
It works flawlessly on 3 sites 1 is on go daddy's crappy shared hosting and it surprisingly works.
I only wish I could assign ip's or users not to record.
Mr. Aleksej Sytnik I would love to pay for the other installs, but your link is broken.
I wanted to purchase the full version but i keep getting a page not found. Please someone tell me how to fix this. It seems to be an interesting product. Thanks
Had a good experience so far... I hope that they add many more features...
works fine here, funny to see the mouse flying around and doing things but seems useful too for designing balanced pages
it ONLY works after getting the full version of $12 , the lite ( free ) don't work at all
I like this!
Really useful tool for me, hope it will help you! Enjoy

The Attack of the Flea Party
Less than forty-eight hours after an early morning police raid on Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street protesters are warning city officials to expect their biggest demonstration yet. A planned 'day of action' on November 17 has prompted the mayor's office to prepare for 'tens of thousands' to descend on Wall Street tomorrow.
But amid the voices proclaiming the movement to be a peaceful one, others are threatening widespread violence In a video posted on YouTube after the eviction, an incensed man in the crowd, surrounded by placards proclaiming 'We are too big to fail' and 'Stop wars, make jobs', yells out: 'On the 17th, we're going to burn New York City to the ground!'
Later in the video, he exclaims: 'No more talking. They've got guns, we've got bottles. They've got bricks, we've got rocks… in a few days you're going to see what a Molotov cocktail can do to Macy's.'
Elsewhere, a middle-aged woman is videotaped being handcuffed by police, the crowd asking for her name and asking police why she's been arrested. Others beat drums, clang the barricades and chan, 'Who's park? Our park? Who do you serve? Who do you protect?' while sirens blare in the background. source – Daily Mail UK

Hi, I'm trying to find where in the CSS I can adjust how the audio player (using the
[audio] tag) displays. When I post an audio link for playback, the formatting of the audio player looks "off". The control buttons look fine (Play, Pause & Volume) but the font that displays the time is cropped at the bottom. You can see an example at theretroguy.com/category/the-wild-swans/
I've tried different themes and I'm not experiencing this issue, so I'm guessing it's an issue with the Hostmarks theme itself. Any ideas please? Thanks in advance!

Really Convenient
By BrotherJohn
from Whittier,CA
Nice having a variety for varying wall thinknesses.
Very poor quality
By Rob
from Chandler, AZ
I pre-drilled holes into a block wall. Inserted the molly bolt into the hole of the bracket I was mounting, started tightening the screw with a hand screwdriver and the thread stripped before there was enough tension to hold the bracket. tried 8 times. threw the kit in the trash.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By alias_willsmith
from Oakland, CA
Five of the smallest size broke as I attempted to screw them in, before deciding just to return the package. Upon closer inspection the build quality seems rather poor as the head of the bolt is only spot welded in a few places and these "welds" are EXTREMELY weak.
Don't waste your money
By Dan the Saxman
from Westchester County, NY
I usually am very satisfied with HF products and have a slew of their tools, both power and hand tools. This is my first negative review, but I have to say these anchors are of extremely poor quality. They literally fall apart while installing. I gave up on them and went to my local well-known big box hardware store and bought the brand they carry to finish a project, with good results. So, this is one item I would never buy again at HF.

Woman pulled from burning carSeptember 04,2013POWNAL — A New York woman was pulled from her crashed car before fire could trap her inside Tuesday, police said.
Heather Partridge, 33, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., was driving a 2004 Honda Civic south on Route 7, just north of Jackson Cross Road, around 6:30 a.m. when the car drifted off the west side of the road and rolled onto its side, according to Vermont State Police.
Witness Michael Andrews of Southbury, Conn., told police the car started to smoke and caught fire. Andrews, along with James Belanger of North Adams, Mass., Bruce Cooper, of Florida, Mass., and Timothy Criss, of Shaftsbury helped Partridge get out of the car before the fire engulfed it.
Partridge was taken to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington by the Bennington Rescue Squad. The extent of Partridge's injuries are unknown at this time.

I am not used to being out in public and having people stare at me...It really bothers me. I asked my husband earlier if he noticed it, or if I was just being paranoid. He confirmed my suspicions. I am pretty big now...so I guess I am slow moving...lol...and I catch people staring...This is my first pregnancy, and I'm wondering if anyone else feels creeped out by all the staring?
Anyone Else Feel Weird When They Go Out?
DH and I grew up in a BIG Church town, so every time we go to Wal-Mart or go out to eat people stare at us, and then look down at our fingers to check for wedding rings haha!!!
Proud Army Wife Lauren
Married to smokin' hot OIF Vet James
Mommy to breastfed, gorgeous, green eyed girl Olivia 9/30/09 and our yorkie Max!
I always get the wedding ring check lol and I don't have one so it's incredibly funny to see people react silently.
I've noticed the staring to...creepy. I also find its more men than women.... Not that they're "checking me out" It just seems they're more intrigued by my waddle and swollen face :)
Mommy to Deric 4/28/05
Mommy to Christian 10/11/09
I don't wear my ring half the time anymore(too swollen)and wonder if people are looking for it haha I don't really mind the stares so much, I just assume I'm so damn sexy they can't help it! lol
Ah you know ever since I started showing people would stare and it seriously bothered me now it annoys me more then anything LOL we went out to breakfast about a week ago and we all got up to leave well i was standing there waiting for DS and i can see this lady starring at me when i looked at her she didnt even look away she starred me down even when i was outside i could see her starring from out the window i was so mad lol i told DH you know what i had it with people starring like im some kind of freak next time im gonna tell them to take a damn picture LOL
Stephanie (Wife & Mommy of TWO boys) Expecting baby #3
totally!!! When I dont wear my fake wedding ring because my rings dont fit anymore I get looked and totally judged at. The best was when my friends came in from out of state and we met them at a bar - smoke free in illinois- I got some really awesome looks lol.
I have kids.
Yeah Ive been picking up on it more lately. Im even getting the ones that focus all there attention on me and even when I glance up and shoot them a fake smile (hoping they'll see im clearly annoyed with being stared at to that degree) ...still dont turn there heads. Those are pretty rude. Maybe the fact that I can pass for different ages & there trying to figure it out.
I was coming out of target last night and had a man look at me and say he wish he could have been my baby daddy. I was with my mom and I had a ring on my finger!
I live in Utah/ Mormon central. No one notices another pregnant woman. Although my husband and I do play "spot the preggy". I have not had anyone I didn't know ask about my pregnancy or touch my stomach.
Just another faceless belly in the crowd!
I love when DH and I are out with all our kids and than they see me waddle and than look at the kids.. They have this poor woman look on their face.
I have been known to tell people at target I charge for staring and take a picture it lasts longer and other comments. It sort of ticks me off.
more importantly I hate the people who try to "squeeze" around you because your too slow and end up bumping you. That makes me ANGRY

Subjects: Comparative Politics
This is the first comparative-historical study of welfare states (social policies) in the former communist region of East Central Europe. Inglot analyzes almost one hundred years of expansion of social insurance programs across different political regimes. He places these programs in a larger political and socioeconomic context, which includes the most recent developments since the advent of democracy. Based on this research, he argues that despite apparent similarities the welfare states of East Central Europe, Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic and Slovakia since 1993), Poland, and Hungary have pursued distinct historical paths of development and change. He examines the highly unusual evolution of these welfare states in detail, tracing alternating periods of growth and retrenchment/reform, which he links to political and economic crises under communist rule. Inglot uses this comparative analysis of welfare systems to examine the continued influence of history over the politics and policies of the social safety nets in Eastern Europe.

'This Slovenian biologist/mountaineer/aviator/visionary wants us to see the Alps as the birds do � not divided into eight countries or anyone's possession but a world of marvellous beauties...... Stephen Goodwin
On the south-western threshold of the Ecrins massif stands the Devoluy range, which is divided in a north-south direction by the valley with the Festre saddle, where there are some well-known ski centres on the northern slops of Pic de Bure. From The Alps - A Bird's Eye View by Matev� Lenarcic and Janez Bizjak .
For the last six years the Slovenian alpinist, photographer, and biologist Matev� Lenarčič flew solo in his Earth-friendly Pipistrel Sinus 912 Aircraft around the Alps taking aerial photographs.
The result is the most glorious celebration and documentation of the Alps in his 512-page large format and heavy book,The Alps - A Bird's Eye View, (it is 28cm wide, 37.5cm and weighs 4.95 kilos).
It quite rightly won the Best Book � Mountain Image at the 2009 Banff Mountain Book Festival, but hasn't had much exposure in the UK.
The 250 colour images (of which 200 are double page spreads) and all are captioned with name, altitude and country; location and altitude when photographing. All the well known peaks and ranges are included and are sub-divided into Southern, Western, Central, and Eastern Alp. These photographs will Wow you but there is much more, there are many maps and extensive essays on the natural history of the Alps written by expert authors: water, forests, flora, fauna; on how mankind has shaped the Alps, on conservation, tourism and thoughts on the future of the area.
The book has been compiled under the patronage of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) and includes forewords by the Director-General of UNESCO, Ko�chiro Matsuura, Sir Chris Bonington and Marco Onida, Secretary-General of the Alpine Convention. The book was designed by Ivana Kadivec and co-authored by Janez Bizjak
The pleasure this book will give is immense, the inspiration and motivation it will provide for great adventures is without doubt. It will change lives and hopefully have a positive influence of Europe's wild place.
This is a complete work, a work of genius and is essential for anyone with an interest in mountains. Congratulations to Matev� Lenarčič, Janez Bizjak and everyone involved in this complex project. At £55 it's a bargain.
VIDEO: The Alps A Bird's Eye View: an interview with Matev� Lenarčič by Schweizer Fernsehe
Although in German by the Swiss website of Schweizer Fernsehens this 7 minute video interviews Matev� Lenarčič (he speaks in English), shows him flying and photographing in his Pipistrel Sinus 912 and leafing through this important book
ANOTHER VIDEO: Slovene national TV made a film about Matev� Lenarčič's aerial photography. It is in the Slovene language and is quite beautiful, but at 25 minutes long better if you watch if you have the book to gain more understanding of the project. http://tvslo.si

Matev� has shared with UKClimbing.com a selection of images from The Alps A Bird's Eye View, they are below with the extended captions from the book. Below these is some biographical information about Matev� Lenarčič.
Apart from the Mediterranean, the Alps are Europe's biggest ecosystem.
Marmolada's south face is a long, rugged, 800-metre-high barrier with very demanding climbing routes. This view from the south-west, above the ski centre of San Martinno di Castrozza and the surrounding ski slopes with lifts on the Rolle pass, also reveals the mighty face of Cimon della Pala.
The highest mountain and the symbol of Austria lies in the Hohe Tauern and the national park of the same name. The summit was first reached by local climbers from Heiligenblut in 1800. The Pasterze Glacier below the north-east faces is typical of rapidly melting ice and glacial retreat caused by climate change.
The Alps are a strategic European treasury of drinking water.
This marvelous mountain in the Julian Alps above the Soca/Isonzo valley symbolises the most tragic part of the history of the Alps. During the years 1915 - 1917 a succession of battles were waged on these high ridges between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies, bringing death to several hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Over the past 150 years, we have lost about half of the Alpine ice cover.
Zugspitze is Germany's highest peak, situated on the German-Austrian border in the region of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, from where the mountain railway Zugspitzbahn leads to the summit. There are also two gondolas reaching the top of the mountain; one from the German lake Eibsee and the other is the Austrian Tiroler Zugspitzbahn.
The important requirement for the future of the Alps is development in harmony with nature, emphasising the principle that "less is more".
Passeierspitze, the �king of the Lechtal Alps�, is also the highest peak in the Northern Limestone Alps. Only 7 km east of the summit, the town of Landeck lies in the Inn valley. Passeierspitze was first climbed by the rope-team Specht-Siess in 1869.
The Maritime Alps Nature Park is the largest park in Piedmont. Some of its summits exceed 3000 m, the highest being Dell' Argentera, and the most southerly Alpine glaciers are situated here. The park, which is connected with the Mercantour National Park in France, has over 80 glacial lakes and rich flora and fauna.

For aerial photography I generally fly my light high-wing motorglider Sinus 912. The aircraft is modified for aerial work. Its speed range, between 60 and 240 km/h, is very suitable for such work. The Sinus can climb 600 m/s up to 6000 m without a turbo charger. The aircraft is almost inaudible, so it doesn't disturb fragile ecosytems.
In aerial work things are going fast. If you miss the shot, there is no second chance. It is impossible to repeat something you once fail. This is why I use only high-tech Nikon digital cameras and lenses.

Google patents smartphone/notebook computer duo
Google has filed a patent which could spell the end of connected device choices. The patent details a smartphone fitting onto a notebook computer, much as we see with the Asus Padfone. Rather than use all or most of the phone's hardware to power a computer, this one is meant for another purpose.

The president soared last night, a fact that was all the more clear as Republicans, trapped in their refusal to give him credit or respect for anything ever, sat on their hands. He outclassed his detractors by so far it was embarrassing, and showed he was the grownup in the room. Here are excerpts.
"Will we respond to the changes of our time with fear, turning inward as a nation, and turning against each other as a people? Or will we face the future with confidence in who we are, what we stand for, and the incredible things we can do together?"
"Some of the only people in America who are going to work the same job, in the same place, with a health and retirement package, for 30 years, are sitting in this chamber."
"Food Stamp recipients didn't cause the financial crisis; recklessness on Wall Street did."
"Sixty years ago, when the Russians beat us into space, we didn't deny Sputnik was up there. We didn't argue about the science, or shrink our research and development budget. We built a space program almost overnight, and twelve years later, we were walking on the moon."

My Blade column this week looks at the Iran nuclear agreement. Here is an excerpt:
Read the whole piece here.
High in the night sky over Washington, the bright stars Deneb and Vega mark a star field at the center of a probe unrelated to Benghazi or Hillary's emails or whether Iran will get the Bomb.
NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has discovered Kepler-452b, an earth-like planet 1400 light years away. At 6 billion years old, it is 1.5 billion years older than Earth. This raises the question whether any intelligent life there has avoided destroying itself. How might earthlings evolve over a similar time period?
It will be sad but unsurprising if it turns out that Kepler-452b has produced several intelligent life forms in succession, each destroying itself after developing genocidal weapons. Back here, of course, humanity's own ongoing quest of self-annihilation nearly succeeded in the last century. Our latest opportunity is the resolute effort by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and American cohorts to foment war with Iran. They are attacking a multilateral accord, reached on July 14 after a two-year effort, designed to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
The furthest object ever visited by humanity.

APOD Videos reports
A new video animation of dwarf planet Ceres, based on images taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, provides dramatic flyover views of this heavily cratered, mysterious world. The images come from Dawn's first mapping orbit at Ceres, at an altitude of 8,400 mile (13,600 kilometers), as well as navigational images taken from 3,200 miles (5,100 kilometers) away. The images provided information for a three-dimensional terrain model. The vertical dimension has been exaggerated by a factor of two, and a star field has been added in the background.
How simple arithmetic led to the unraveling of a groundbreaking study on gay marriage: http://t.co/XWKxRgdQxY pic.twitter.com/WuKWvJrlQT— New York Magazine (@NYMag) May 30, 2015
A fascinating account of how UC Berkeley grad student David Broockman exposed the scientific fraud of UCLA grad student Michael LaCour, whose paper on the influence of canvassing on people's opinions on same-sex marriage was retracted last week by Science at the request of its co-author, Columbia professor Donald Green.
Among the appalling details: LaCour said his survey involved 10,000 people being paid $100 each, which comes to a million dollars--far more than a non-wealthy grad student could afford. And not only did the polling firm LaCour cited say it had not worked with him--the employee he cited at the firm did not even exist.
Of course the scandal is troubling, and raises concerns about the lack of resources given by universities for peer review. But this story is also encouraging because the fraud came to light thanks to the industriousness and persistence of Broockman, who became suspicious while trying to replicate LaCour's results. Those on the right inclined to crow over this scandal should pause first to consider their own sourcing. Much of the alleged dated cited by the anti-gay right can be traced to notorious junk scientist Paul Cameron's Family Research Institute. The far right's contempt for peer-reviewed science is in stark contrast with the integrity of Broockman and the quick mea culpa and retraction by Green once the evidence for the fraud was brought to his attention.
Time and again, anti-gay bigots treat science as weaker and less reliable than their religious dogma because scientific findings are subject to correction and refutation, in contrast to the dogmatists' certainty. I have never understood how this is persuasive to anyone. Perfect knowledge is not something that humans can possess. We are always questioning and pressing forward and jostling one another and testing our hypotheses. The human struggle of science is responsible for the modern world. If you'd prefer the Dark Ages, don't expect the rest of us to follow you there.
Broockman has been flooded with praise from his colleagues, and deservedly so. Data and research are valuable, but they must be honest and solid. He does his profession proud.

The Hubble Space Telescope team writes:
This visualization provides a three-dimensional perspective on Hubble's 25th anniversary image of the nebula Gum 29 with the star cluster Westerlund 2 at its core. The flight traverses the foreground stars and approaches the lower left rim of the nebula Gum 29. Passing through the wispy darker clouds on the near side, the journey reveals bright gas illuminated by the intense radiation of the newly formed stars of cluster Westerlund 2. Within the nebula, several pillars of dark, dense gas are being shaped by the energetic light and strong stellar winds from the brilliant cluster of thousands of stars. Note that the visualization is intended to be a scientifically reasonable interpretation and that distances within the model are significantly compressed.
Associated Press explains: "Dramatic footage emerged online on Wednesday of beautiful lights in the sky filmed during a severe solar storm which hit Earth on Tuesday."
My column this week looks at clashes over gender politics that are testing the civil rights community. Here is an excerpt:
For years, some radical feminists have vociferously opposed transgender people. An example is Janice Raymond, a lesbian ex-nun who wrote in her 1979 book, The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male, that trans women, whom she regarded as male predators, were the "avant garde of the patriarchy invading women's spaces." As a liberal feminist and a supporter of trans equality, I very much disagree with Dr. Raymond. Dana Beyer, executive director of Gender Rights Maryland, explains, "[G]ender identity (the sex of one's brain) drives trans persons to transition, regardless of genital anatomy."
For the LGBT advocates with whom I work in Washington, D.C., that ship has sailed. We do not sit around discussing gender theory. We take it as a given that trans people are citizens entitled to equal protection. We work in coalition to ensure that the "T" is included in legislation, data gathering, and public services (and D.C. is among the top states in the Human Rights Campaign's State Equality Index). Science is on our side: the American Psychiatric Association declassified transgender identity as a disorder in 2012, as it did homosexuality in 1973.
For some, this is not enough. There is a movement to "no-platform" trans-excluding radical feminists (TERFs), that is to bar them from campuses and deny them a platform for their views. This is part of a broader and distinctly illiberal trend whereby universities are seen not as centers for the robust exchange of ideas, but as frightening places full of triggers and micro aggressions....

Could there be a virus that only kills stupid people? That's just an idle thought.

Head to Heritage. Once inside drive towards the back where the large park office is. As you pass the parking for the office the road splits- take the fork to the right towards shelters 4, 5, and 6. As soon as you do this there will be a small parking area on her left hand side. Park here.
Walk back towards the split in the road that you just came from and you sill see some trees and bushes that are behind the sign for the shelters. Stay on the backside of this grouping and if you were facing the back of that sign (your car should be on the left side of where you are). There are two large trees- choose the tree to the left (there aren't many plants in front of it) and reach to the right side of the tree tucked around some roots/vines. Here you will find the vase for our flowers.
Now walk back in the direction of your car, stay on the right side of the drive. You will come across a concrete post sticking up in the middle of an open area of grass and behind it are several young trees. Start at the concrete post and walking across the grass towards the bushes and woods (opposite direction from the bathrooms). To your right you will see a little pathway. Just at the opening of the pathway on the left is a young pine tree with vines on it. Look down in the vines to the right of the tree and you will find your little ray of sunshine. You can do a single flower or a bouquet!
There are ink pads in both and in the Petals box are some accent pens if you want to draw some stems or highlight the buttercups.
Note: There is a fee to get into the park on Weekends and Holidays.

Refinance Now?
1 Comment |
In this sunny mortgage climate, you might be wondering if you should join the recent frenzy of home refinancing. If you are interested in locking in a lower interest rate, reducing your monthly payment, shortening the term of the mortgage, or switching from a risky variable-rate loan to a secure fixed-rate loan, refinancing might be a good move for you.
But, there are many considerations to take before you jump in the bandwagon with other homeowners. You have to first qualify to refinance your home, pay for upfront costs, and if you are underwater on your mortgage, then you're out of luck. Also, it will take a few years before you actually start saving money on your new mortgage. While refinancing is a great option, here are a few questions to ask yourself before you take the refinance plunge.
- How's your credit score? If your overall credit score is low, you can forget about refinancing right away. Lenders have raised the bar on the type of homeowners they approve, so if your credit score isn't at least 740, you probably won't be approved. If your credit score isn't ready for refinancing, take a few months to improve your credit history through on-time payments and polishing up your credit report by checking for errors and inaccuracies that ding your score. Just cross your fingers that mortgage rates will remain at a record low a few months down the road when your credit score is stellar and you are ready to refinance.
- Do you qualify? Another factor when applying to refinance your loan is your loan-to-value ratio, or LTV ratio, in which you divide the loan amount of your current mortgage by the value amount. You need an 80% LTV ratio to qualify for the best refinancing rates, which can be a feat considering decreasing property values have dropped many homes below their original purchase price. Look on some websites such as Zillow or do some research at your local Registry of Deeds to get a range of what houses are selling for in your area. If you owe way more than your house is now worth, forget refinancing—it's not going to happen.
- Will you save $$ or not?This is the most obvious question—refinance your home if it's worth it. If it won't save you a significant amount of money in the long run, then don't bother. The old rule of thumb was that if you can recoup the cost of your refinance in a year, then it's worth it; however, that doesn't take into account closing costs and other factors that make your refinance tab add up. Refinancing your home is taking out a new mortgage on your home, so you will be paying all the same closing costs, such as application fee, origination fee, appraisal fee, etc., as you did when you first purchased your home. These closing costs are added to your loan. Also keep in mind that lenders structure mortgages so that borrowers pay off interest charges for the first few years, and after that, monthly payments then go towards paying off the principal debt owed. So if you've been paying your current mortgage for the last 10 years, you may have already paid off the interest and are now paying off your principal debt. If you were to refinance now, you would have to start over with paying the interest, closing costs, and potentially a longer term on your new loan. Consider whether or not the short term gain of paying less on a monthly basis with a new loan is worth the long term effect of paying more interest from refinancing. Calculate your possible savings from refinancing to gauge if the refinance will be worth the savings.
If you've answered all these questions and found yourself itching to refinance your home, now is the best time to trade in your old mortgage for a new, improved loan in this (limited time) golden era of record-low mortgage rates.

I would refinance now. Mortgage rates are still very low. A 30 year fixed will be about 4.75%. If you are considering refinancing, give yourself plenty of time. The lenders are taking much longer to close deals. Remember that it is almost impossible to get a cash-out refinance.
Your main concern will be the appraisal. With property values dropping, expect the appraisal to be very conservative.Laura Morton at 9:09 pm on June 21, 2010
