E.U: Leave or Stay? Your thoughts.
As you already know, the United Kingdom will held a referendum in June 2016, you'll be tasked to decide wether or not should the U.K stay in the European Union. As a foreign observer, I would be interested to know your views on this matter.

To use some quotes from the discussion so far in the uk
"My starting point is simple. I believe that the decisions which govern all our lives, the laws we must all obey and the taxes we must all pay should be decided by people we choose and who we can throw out if we want change. If power is to be used wisely, if we are to avoid corruption and complacency in high office, then the public must have the right to change laws and Governments at election time.
But our membership of the European Union prevents us being able to change huge swathes of law and stops us being able to choose who makes critical decisions which affect all our lives. Laws which govern citizens in this country are decided by politicians from other nations who we never elected and can't throw out. We can take out our anger on elected representatives in Westminster but whoever is in Government in London cannot remove or reduce VAT, cannot support a steel plant through troubled times, cannot build the houses we need where they're needed and cannot deport all the individuals who shouldn't be in this country. I believe that needs to change. And I believe that both the lessons of our past and the shape of the future make the case for change compelling.
The ability to choose who governs us, and the freedom to change laws we do not like, were secured for us in the past by radicals and liberals who took power from unaccountable elites and placed it in the hands of the people. As a result of their efforts we developed, and exported to nations like the US, India, Canada and Australia a system of democratic self-government which has brought prosperity and peace to millions.
Our democracy stood the test of time. We showed the world what a free people could achieve if they were allowed to govern themselves.
In Britain we established trial by jury in the modern world, we set up the first free parliament, we ensured no-one could be arbitrarily detained at the behest of the Government, we forced our rulers to recognise they ruled by consent not by right, we led the world in abolishing slavery, we established free education for all, national insurance, the National Health Service and a national broadcaster respected across the world.
By way of contrast, the European Union, despite the undoubted idealism of its founders and the good intentions of so many leaders, has proved a failure on so many fronts. The euro has created economic misery for Europe's poorest people. European Union regulation has entrenched mass unemployment. EU immigration policies have encouraged people traffickers and brought desperate refugee camps to our borders.
Far from providing security in an uncertain world, the EU's policies have become a source of instability and insecurity. Razor wire once more criss-crosses the continent, historic tensions between nations such as Greece and Germany have resurfaced in ugly ways and the EU is proving incapable of dealing with the current crises in Libya and Syria. The former head of Interpol says the EU's internal borders policy is "like hanging a sign welcoming terrorists to Europe" and Scandinavian nations which once prided themselves on their openness are now turning in on themselves. All of these factors, combined with popular anger at the lack of political accountability, has encouraged extremism, to the extent that far-right parties are stronger across the continent than at any time since the 1930s.
The EU is an institution rooted in the past and is proving incapable of reforming to meet the big technological, demographic and economic challenges of our time. It was developed in the 1950s and 1960s and like other institutions which seemed modern then, from tower blocks to telexes, it is now hopelessly out of date. The EU tries to standardise and regulate rather than encourage diversity and innovation. It is an analogue union in a digital age.
The EU is built to keep power and control with the elites rather than the people. Even though we are outside the euro we are still subject to an unelected EU commission which is generating new laws every day and an unaccountable European Court in Luxembourg which is extending its reach every week, increasingly using the Charter of Fundamental Rights which in many ways gives the EU more power and reach than ever before. This growing EU bureaucracy holds us back in every area. EU rules dictate everything from the maximum size of containers in which olive oil may be sold (five litres) to the distance houses have to be from heathland to prevent cats chasing birds (five kilometres).
Individually these rules may be comical. Collectively, and there are tens of thousands of them, they are inimical to creativity, growth and progress. Rules like the EU clinical trials directive have slowed down the creation of new drugs to cure terrible diseases and ECJ judgements on data protection issues hobble the growth of internet companies. As a minister I've seen hundreds of new EU rules cross my desk, none of which were requested by the UK Parliament, none of which I or any other British politician could alter in any way and none of which made us freer, richer or fairer.
It is hard to overstate the degree to which the EU is a constraint on ministers' ability to do the things they were elected to do, or to use their judgment about the right course of action for the people of this country. I have long had concerns about our membership of the EU but the experience of Government has only deepened my conviction that we need change. Every single day, every single minister is told: 'Yes Minister, I understand, but I'm afraid that's against EU rules'. I know it. My colleagues in government know it. And the British people ought to know it too: your government is not, ultimately, in control in hundreds of areas that matter.
But by leaving the EU we can take control. Indeed we can show the rest of Europe the way to flourish. Instead of grumbling and complaining about the things we can't change and growing resentful and bitter, we can shape an optimistic, forward-looking and genuinely internationalist alternative to the path the EU is going down. We can show leadership. Like the Americans who declared their independence and never looked back, we can become an exemplar of what an inclusive, open and innovative democracy can achieve.
We can take back the billions we give to the EU, the money which is squandered on grand parliamentary buildings and bureaucratic follies, and invest it in science and technology, schools and apprenticeships. We can get rid of the regulations which big business uses to crush competition and instead support new start-up businesses and creative talent. We can forge trade deals and partnerships with nations across the globe, helping developing countries to grow and benefiting from faster and better access to new markets.
We are the world's fifth largest economy, with the best armed forces of any nation, more Nobel Prizes than any European country and more world-leading universities than any European country. Our economy is more dynamic than the Eurozone, we have the most attractive capital city on the globe, the greatest "soft power" and global influence of any state and a leadership role in NATO and the UN. Are we really too small, too weak and too powerless to make a success of self-rule? On the contrary, the reason the EU's bureaucrats oppose us leaving is they fear that our success outside will only underline the scale of their failure.
This chance may never come again in our lifetimes, which is why I will be true to my principles and take the opportunity this referendum provides to leave an EU mired in the past and embrace a better future."
err so OUT, before it destroys itself and takes us with it.
As "nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure" is apparently not an option.

I'm an outsider, but if I could vote for leaving the EU in Finland I'd definately vote for it.
The EU was a good idea, but the way it's progressed is totally undemocratic and nothing to be desired.
First of all, all EU-members should have the same laws and rules. Be it economically, socially or whatever. The current situation of all members differing heavily in taxes, healthcare, etc, etc, etc is absolutely unacceptable.
Second. We can't elect the EU-government directly. We can only vote for parties, who then send their chosen ones to the EU-parliament, without the citizens having a say about the persons sent.
Additionally the EU-parliament doesn't have any power. The power is with the EU-committee, which we can't elect at all.
So yeah, fcuk the EU in it's current state.

Anyone who thinks that the UK leaving the EU is a good idea does not really appreciate what EU laws have done to protect UK citizens in terms of consumer rights, employee rights, human rights and also in terms of environmental policies, food health policies and trade policies. Not to mention the ease with which the British can move, work and study abroad and with which expats are guaranteed that their pension stays in step with UK inflation.
Seriously, the consequences will be huge. I think you really need to fire up the old Google and have a good search.
You all want to vote for centralising power further into the hands of a government that has been screwing the population over with austerity measures and is firmly in bed with big business interests. Frankly I want that power spread. I don't care that the EU is bureaucratic and inefficient. It is a brake on the UK government turning this country into the 51st state of America.

are we inacapable of making our own laws or trade/food/safety/employment policies?
Want to retire abroad, make sure you can afford to first. (not my job to fund it).
The choice is to continue on as we are, knowing the final goal, or get out now and find our own path.
For the record i an neither left or right winged and agree/disagree with policies from all of the major parties in the uk. Quite frankly I would rip it all up and start again but that is not an option at the moment.

I guess it hinges on three things.
1) The flow of money from the UK to the EU needs to reduce. It's £12.8 billion per year right now, although the net flow after we get our various rebates and fundings back is around £4 billion. It's still a big chunk of money going out.
2) Whether or not the UK can be (perceived to) regain control of it's borders in or out of the EU. This has been bubbling away since 2004 when Poland/Lithuania joined and half a million Poles and Lithuanians showed up in the UK inside nine months, along with various Eastern Europeans of unknown origins.
Angela Merkel kicked it right back into the spotlight when she declared Germany's border open to all comers, leaving Hungary, Italy, Turkey and Greece to figure out how to cope with the massive burden she just placed on them and handed the people traffickers a blank cheque. I suspect this one will be the one that decides the vote.
3) Another perception that the EU interferes too much with the UK legal system and public services. Given our current government's hard on for selling the country to their old school buddies for a song and successive governments interesting records on human rights, this one's probably the strongest reason to stay in the EU to me.
The (possible) impact on our economy is too enormous for most people to really take in. I wouldn't like to guess on the outcome but I'm expecting the more emotive subjects to swing the vote.
On the same note I've no idea which way I'm voting yet. The push for political union in the EU is dumb, but I'm not sure downing tools and abandoning it to France and Germany is much smarter.
I quite like the irony that this more or less hinges on the same arguments that cropped up in the Scottish independence referendum too.

Tbh we'll still have unelected committees pushing though barely-scrutinised bollocks whatever the outcome...
Also seems pretty hypocritical of Cameron singing the praises and bigging up the benefits of something he's spent most of the last decade trying to undermine...

I haven't really thought much about it tbh but decided to take the approach that I'm voting out until I hear a compelling argument to stay in beyond "business leaders" telling us the world will end. I mean a hard analysis not what our overloards proclaim.
I think the biggest issue is that it's hard to know where one elected official begins and the other elected official from [insert country here] ends. There is no accountability and a feeling of hopelessness that your government can't change anything because Europe has tied their hands and when they make a decision that isn't popular, Europe is the fall guy or "we have no power over that".
I guess a vote for stay is for things to continue, a vote for out is the first movement in shaking things up to try and get some form of government we want.

Leave for many of the reasons in the long quote in aramil's post:
The EU suffers a major democratic deficit which has no indication of changing and looks set to stay. Within the Eurozone this has even resulted in the effective undermining and rejection of democratically elected governments in the name of virtuous thrift and the interests of German hegemony.
This country created the NHS, engaged in massive post war housebuilding, created a welfare state, the equal pay act (1970), the still minimum wage (no way am I ever calling Osbornes increase the living wage), freedom of information act, gay marriage to name a few.
All that and more without the benevolent omniscience of the EU to guide us, so it is not beyond the people of this nation to elect governments that operate in the interests of the people as a whole.
And as far as trade policies, environmental intiatives and consumer rights we all have TTIP and TISA to look forward to from the EU.
And yes this ****house of a government could negotiate the same or worse or legislate the same or worse but:
At least that government will have no the EU made us do it to hide behind.
At least we can vote these ****s out by a landslide every 5 years or maybe less.
At least we dont have to wait 43 years to get another say on these matters.
Many comrades on the left believe that despite the EU being undemocratic it offers them security in those areas so the Tories can't take them away, well to paraphrase "Those who would give up essential democracy for security, will get neither democracy or security"
Also couldn't resist:

100% stay, or seriously consider moving to Canada instead of returning to the UK. Frankly I look at what it's becoming and more and more can't bare to bring a family up there.

Anyhow isn't this whole in/out referendum more about the internal politics of the Conservative party and Mr Cameron's legacy, it just seems daft to say an organisation we're a member of isn't of benefit to us so lets make a few changes an then decide if we should stay or go.
IMHO you either stay and keep working to change things for the better or you just leave, Mr Cameron has negotiated some changes to the relationship we have with the EU under the threat of an EU referendum but it really shouldn't take the threat of leaving for the other party enact change.
It seems like saying to your partner to stop smothering you or being so controlling and them only changing their behavior when you threaten to leave, if it takes a threat to get them to change you either need to sit down and have a serious talk or just leave.

My preference has always been to stay but to use Britain's influence in the EU to pull it towards being an outward looking free-trading group with an open internal market and reducing barrier to the rest of the world. Now obviously that isn't quite what we have and definitely not where France and some others want to see it going but without the UK, France and others with similar views gain influence and we can expect more regulation, trade barriers and general decline, arguably increasing the danger of the EU falling apart itself.
What worries me is inter-EU free movement of labour , benefit rules and external migration and asylum have gotten mixed up into a mess of fear, scaremongering and bad policy that will divert the whole debate.
I'm intensely relaxed about jobseekers moving within the EU. Motivated people coming to this country looking for work is good for the economy. However it's plain bizarre to start paying child benefit for children outside the UK and there is also a huge problem that EU rules ignore the fact that most in the UK we pay welfare and other benefits without any link to previous employment unlike most other countries. If this issue had been addressed several years ago the debate would perhaps now look a lot different.
The "renegotiation" has been a bit weird and I'm not sure it's been that valuable, but at least it looks like they have got something to protect the city from "rules" that will applying to all members only affect one in reality and are actually attempts to sabotage one country's economy. You may dislike "bankers" for what every reason but if you want them paying income tax in Frankfurt (or more likely Zurich instead of London) then vote leave and make some french leftists very happy.
As a rule watercooling can be simple, affordable and effective... I guess I just like to break the rules.

Voting out.
The EU is not what it should be. We joined under the principle of becoming part of a large single market, which at least made some economic sense, however it's since become just a large pile of steaming bureaucracy, which doesn't benefit us more than it costs us.
We've lost local control over many areas, some of which are truly outlandish. The common fisheries policy is a joke, it's simply left our own waters and stocks to be depleted, what advantage does this provide for the UK specifically? Same deal with the Common Agricultural Policy.
We weren't supposed to be part of some larger political union, it was supposed to be purely economic.

The Endless Processing of More
Equity Between Humans
The argument is often made that human survival on Earth is more strongly influenced by our excessive consumption than by population growth. When you look at what the world as a whole needs to achieve that becomes a silly argument. We need to create a world where everyone, in normal times, has a good standard of living, regardless of what country you are born in, or where you choose to live. The principle of equity should be applicable to every human being. Hence each person should be able to earn a living without being a slave. Each of us should be secure about our food supply. We would expect in a modern world that basic medical care would be available to all. But there's a cost; each of us adds to the destruction of the planet. That cost should be equally borne, none of us is entitled to more than a fair share of scarce resources, like the remaining easily exploitable oil, and we should have equal shares in the ability to add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. More locally, each of us has some rights to land use and fresh water, but how those rights are recognised in practice varies widely from place to place.
Economic Growth for Employment Creation
Governments have tried to solve their problems by growing the economy to create employment. This has caused them to promote consumption, even wasteful consumption on the basis that it keeps people in a job. However on a planet short of resources, where energy use is changing the climate. Where the ability of nature to [process human waste is being overwhelmed, we have to rethink our activity. There is a massive need to focus scarce resources on the production of better education, and the introduction of green technologies. The idea that consumption is a desirable activity needs to be modified. Many of us need to consume much less. In other parts of the world, people in general need to consume much more. They also need to opportunity to earn incomes so that their consumption is possible.
Pricing "Bad's"
Governments have tried to promote consumption by subsidising energy use, transportation and agriculture. These actions are contrary to good sustainability practice. Governments should instead focus on creating prices for pollution of the environment and for the use of mined materials and for water use and for the social cost of production. As in any auction, those prices should be set by market forces at a level that clears the floor. It's up to the government to crate the supply on the floor. In many cases the equitable supply would be so much per person. The revenue from selling the allocation should in principle also flow to each person. That encourages those who can to conserve, and makes supply available to those who feel they must buy the allocation.
Over Consumption
Those who live in rich counties, (like me) are already over-using the planet, and our lifestyle has to be restrained not expanded, in terms of the materials we use and the waste we produce and the energy we need. There is a theory about how this might be accomplished called "Contraction and Convergence" which has been promoted by the Global Commons Institute [GCI] since the early 1990s.
Under Consumption
Those in developing countries need to be able to consume more, but in doing so they need to create little waste and conserve energy. The people in developing countries, especially in China, are likely to discover for us all, and appropriate style, technology and standard of living that China can support in a sustainable way. That is likely to become how most people in the world will live.
For people like me in the industrialised West, I expect that we'll be required to take a drop in living standards. Here in New Zealand that's quietly been happening anyway, despite strenuous efforts to make the economy "grow".
Is the Earth Full?
It's said that the USA with 5% of the world's population consumes 25% of the world's resources. According to the concept of an ecological footprint people on the planet are currently using about 125% of the Earth's resources. So here are some rough calculations, to get us in the ballpark.
Assume the Earth is "full", that only 100% of the annual natural resource base is being used. The USA uses 25% of the world's energy, for about 4.45% of the world's population. If we all lived like that the world might be able to support just over 1 billion people. (At least until to oil runs out.)
Americans use 7.82 kt of oil equivalent, energy per person, each year. Germany is a relatively rich country, but Germany's energy consumption per person is half that of the USA. So let's assume we all live like the Germans. How many people could the planet sustain? About 2.5 billion at a guess.
Let's do another comparison. We'll choose the two poorest countries in Europe as an example. Moldavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Moldavia has an income per capita of about US$2,500 and an energy consumption equivalent to 0,9 kt of oil equivalent per person. Bosnia and Herzegovina has an income of about US$6.500 per capita and an energy consumption equivalent to 1.2 kt of oil equivalent per person. Incomes in the USA are about US$45,500 per capita, and energy use per person is 7.82 kt of oil equivalent. So based on this, if we all choose to live like the poorest people in Europe the world might be able to sustain 7 or 8 billion people.

The U.S. and the U.N.: New Leaders, Pressing Challenges

UN News
UN under threat in the us
The United Nations has been targeted since the new President and Congress took office and now U.S. involvement and all funding for the UN is under threat.
The New York Times is reporting that the White House is considering an Executive Order calling for "at least a 40 percent overall decrease" in voluntary funding for international organizations, and recommending a radical shift away from our current funding model to one that is based entirely on voluntary contributions. (While a switch to voluntary might sound reasonable, it would lead to huge reductions in funding and ultimately U.S. withdrawal from the body. This type of policy has been roundly rejected by Republican and Democrats for decades as being completely self-defeating and misguided.)
On Capitol Hill, there are two proposed bills: one that would withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations and another that would completely eliminate U.S. support for the UN's life-saving work, putting millions of people at risk. The bills - the American Sovereignty Restoration Act, introduced in the House of Representatives and the Safeguard Israel Act, introduced in the Senate - would severely undermine U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives while crippling vital UN operations.
We can't allow the U.S. to abandon the UN or cut-off all funding.
Help us spread the word about the importance of the UN and what Americans can do to help.

The Misguided View Towards Cutting United Nations Funding
On January 20, 2017, just after 12 Noon, the 45th President of the United States raised his right hand to take the oath of office and, with that, shockwaves were felt permeating through many of the world's capitals.
No more was this transition in power felt greater than in the corridors of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. With a new president now in the White House, the U.S. Congress has introduced legislation to defund the global body. The decision was brought to a head by the previous administration's vote to abstain in the U.N. Security Council vote on Israeli settlements. However, defunding (or withdrawing from) the U.N. was part of the President's agenda before this vote. The Security Council resolution just added "fuel to the defunding fire." What is important to point out here is that the U.N. did not initiate the

Urban health reading pack A: data and evidence
Introduction to the topic The year 2007 marked a key event in urbanisation with more than half of the world's population living in urban areas for the first time. This proportion continues to grow, and by 2050, 66 per cent of the world's population are expected to be urbanites. This means an extra 2.5 billion… Read more
Community mobilization in Mumbai slums to improve perinatal care and outcomes: a cluster randomized controlled trial
Improving maternal and newborn health in low-income settings requires both health service and community action. Previous community initiatives have been predominantly rural, but India is urbanising. While working to improve health service quality, we tested an intervention in which urban slum-dweller women's groups worked to improve local perinatal health. Facilitating urban community groups was feasible, and… Read more
Who serves the urban poor? A geospatial and descriptive analysis of health services in slum settlements in Dhaka, Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, the health risks of unplanned urbanisation are disproportionately shouldered by the urban poor. Key findings of the paper include: unlike rural areas, organised systems of primary care provision are lacking in urban Bangladesh, and apart from limited services through non-government organisation, is altogether absent in urban slums; informal private-for-profit providers have strategically filled… Read more
Strategies to reduce exclusion among populations living in urban slum settlements in Bangladesh
The health and rights of populations living in informal or slum settlements are key development issues of the 21st century. As of 2007, the majority of the world's population lives in urban areas.

@mzionLocale: Boulder, CO
I've had most of this stuff weighed and thrown together into a list without totals. Got motivated to finish off this list which includes a some new pieces I'm hoping to put some miles on the AT in March and the CT this summer. I made it a Generic List so I know it's missing electronics like phone, camera, chargers. Phones getting updated this month and I haven't owned a camera in years, still undecided on purchasing one. Also didn't include stuff like maps, data, guidebooks or duct tape (don't have any to roll up and weigh).
List is on my profile btw.Feb 6, 2011 at 11:36 pm #1693453
Larry DyerMember
@veriest1Locale: Texas
Nice list. I've been wondering what you were carrying for a while now.
The only thing I really see where you could trim some weight without spending significant money for gear that performs the same is to cut the redundancy in th beanie and the sham wow. You can get by with just the balaclava and bandanna. But it really doesn't matter at this weight unless you're just going for bragging rights.
What kind of rain pants are those?Feb 6, 2011 at 11:57 pm #1693457
Dug ShelbyMember
@pittsburghLocale: Bay Area
Your list looks good!
Camera: Canon SD120is Digital Elph is 4.2oz., and can be found used for cheap. I got mine for $60 lightly used. 10.0 mp. Also, snaps approx 250 photos w/viewfinder on. Turn it off & save power & it gets 700. I love that!Feb 7, 2011 at 7:02 am #1693504
Matthew ZionMember
@mzionLocale: Boulder, CO
I certainly agree with reducing redundancies. Recently have been on a few trips where I was glad that I had both the beanie and balaclava. And I find the shamwow so convenient and awesome for sponging up condensation or drying off after a stream bath. My rain pants are Gtex North Face and certainly something I would replace (or at this point take a seam ripper to it) to shave some (g)'s but currently these meet all my needs for stuff down to the 20s.
I had thought about trying to use a smartphone to consolidate things on the electronics side. But I think some people were talking about their lack on the zoom/quality side just the other day. Too many times recently I've wished I had one with me so thank you for the recommendation. I think I could stand for a 5oz camera and be able to document trips.

Free support is offered via the myCRED website Monday to Friday 9AM – 5PM (GMT+1). You can consult the online community for customisations or open a free support ticket if you can not get myCRED to work as described in the documentation. No support is provided here on the wordpress.org support forum or on any social media account.
myCRED is an adaptive points management system that lets you build a broad range of point related applications for your WordPress powered website.
Store reward systems, community leaderboards, online banking or monetizing your websites content, these are some of the ways you can use myCRED.
Each user on your WordPress websites gets their own point balance which you can manually adjust at any time. As of version 1.4, myCRED also supports multiple point types for those who need more then one type of points on their website.
Each time myCRED adds or deducts points from a user, the adjustment is logged in a dedicated log, allowing your users to browse their history. The log is also used to provide you with statistics, accountability, badges, ranks and to enforce limits you might set.
Awarding or Deducting Points Automatically
myCRED supports a vast set of ways you can automatically give / take points from a user. Everything from new comments to store purchases. These automatic adjustments are managed by so called Hooks which you can setup in your admin area.
Third-party plugin Support
myCRED supports some of the most popular plugins for WordPress like BuddyPress, WooCommerce, Jetpack, Contact Form 7 etc. To prevent to much cluttering in the admin area with settings, myCRED will only show features/settings for third-party plugins that are installed and enabled.
There is so much more to myCRED then just adjusting balances. The plugin comes with several built-in add-ons which enabled more complex features such as allowing point transfers, buying points for real money, allow payments in stores etc.
You can find extensive documentation on everything myCRED related in the myCRED Codex. You can also find a list of frequently asked questions on the myCRED website.
myCRED was not built to "do-it-all". Instead a lot of effort has been made to make the plugin as developer friendly as possible. If you need a custom feature built, you can submit a request for a quote via the myCRED website.
Code Snippets
The most commonly asked customizations for myCRED are available as code snippets on the myCRED website, free to use by anyone.
I provide free support if you can not get myCRED to work as described in the documentation, and pay myCRED Store Tokens as a reward for reporting bugs and/or bug fixes. There is also a community forum where you can post your questions or contact me directly.

My site wouldn't be the same without this plug in. Thank you for all the hard work and continued support. A great replacement for the now defunct BadgeOS
Forget any kind of personalized support
They'll tell you to use their on-site support forum, and post a ticket if you have an issue – and you're encouraged to buy "points" to escalate a ticket to a higher level of support.
I posted a simple support ticket over a month ago, and immediately paid to have it escalated to (Level 2) Premium, as it's for a dear client. It remains unassigned and unresponded to.
Oh, and don't bother trying to ask abut the ticket status in their community forum – because they moderate the posts, so the question won't ever show up.
Too bad, because it's potentially a great plugin. But I can't wait over a month to provide services for folks.
یه افزونه عالی
واقعا یه افزونه عالی و همه کاره است
Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho
Muito bom o plugin, completo, obrigado pelo trabalho e parabéns!
The base plugin is good. It enables helps encourage certain behaviors and participation on my website. However the 'BP charge' add-on which I paid $50 was terrible. It almost crashed my site and my users kept getting redirect errors when they tried to access a profile that was charging. For $50 USD I expect a lot more. I also found it disingenuous that they don't allow people who have requested a refund to leave a review for their paid add-ons. They did however approve my refund easily which is a good thing.
No support
I've logged support tickets on the website, and no responses. Great tool, but be wary of the lack of support.

Confectioner's sugar

In a large bowl, beat prune butter, sugar and eggs on medium speed of electric mixer.
Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Cover; refrigerate dough until firm enough to handle.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness; cut with a star shaped cookie cutter. You can use menorah, dreidel and others, as well.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minute, or until no imprint remains when touched lightly in the center.
Cool 1 minute; remove cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar or frost and decorate as desired.

According to the Water Quality Assn. (WQA), following a recent meeting with manufacturers over the Arizona Salinity Committee, the industry is emphasizing education, best practices and efficiency.
In April, industry leaders agreed to a set of objectives for the Arizona Salinity Task Force. The committee was established by the state last year. Comprised of public and private stakeholders, it is to report to the legislature with recommendations in September.
Some goals being discussed include:
Another meeting of the task force will take place in the coming months. In the meantime, industry leaders continue working with policymakers to push these comprehensive solutions. If any legislation flows from the work of the task force, it would not be enacted until next year.

For those of you who follow sports and professional basketball, the most recent LeBron free-agency media hurricane could be seen as fascinating, inane, or some combination of both. Most of us remember the widely criticized facepalm moment which was The Decision four years ago when The King decided to leave his hometown of Cleveland to take his talents to South Beach. At the time, I was one of his detractors, not just for instigating the circus but running out of a town desperate for one of their own to deliver them from sports purgatory. (All of which is rather funny considering that I'm a Pittsburgher with enmity toward Cleveland sports teams.)
He left his boyhood home, joined a successful franchise in the Miami Heat, and achieved what many expected him to do: win championships. But there appears to have been a nagging yearn to return to his roots and do something important. Think about it. It's similar to the journey most of us make in our own lives. We grow tired of home with its constant expectations and suffocating familiarity. We wonder if there may be something better "out there" and leave it all behind. Yet it's in that journey where we explore new territory, try out different identities, experiment, risk, love, and lose. This process helps us find out who we are and what we want from our life. Eventually, there is a point where coming home is the most obvious and desired choice. Perhaps its one of the reasons why the parable of the Prodigal Son is such a revered story in the Bible.
So, LeBron…I understand your decision to come home because it largely matches the decision I made this year. After leaving for Texas and the shiny attraction of the corporate world, I chose to come back to the East Coast and return to the nonprofit work where I began my career 15 years ago. It's funny because I confidently swore at one point that I would never go back East and definitely wouldn't go back to nonprofits after I fought so hard to escape them. Now? I laugh and understand why it's never wise to use the word never.
My eight years in Texas was a journey where I explored new territory, tried out different identities, experimented in my career, risked much financially, loved family and friends, and lost my soul for a while. But I'm proud of that decision to leave for the Lone Star State and even more proud of the decision to come home. Now that I'm in Atlanta, I'm back near the old mountains that I love dearly, near the ocean that holds so many joyful boyhood and young adulthood memories, near family and friends who helped me become who I am, near my ancestral roots.
Plus, I'm back doing the work I know I was always meant to do. Each day, I put my talents, experiences, and passions to good use to help make a difference in the world and end poverty housing. Having lived through the good, bad, and extremely ugly of corporate and startup life, I'm all the more grateful to have soulful, purposeful work that I love to do (almost) every day.
Cheers to you, King James. And welcome back home.

text: The clothes and hair in that crack me up."Phones ain't for callin'. They're for footballin'!" That's pure poetry right there. :-)Phones can be used for just about everything else these days besides calling. You might as well use them to watch football too, I suppose. I would think most football fans would prefer to see the game on a big screen hdtv than on a little phone screen, though.

Social networking sites are the hottest attraction on the Internet, dethroning pornography and highlighting a major change in how people communicate, according to a web guru.
Porn is (was) interesting only because it was forbidden. Living in a religiously repressive society like the US, seeing pictures of naked people is exciting because people keep their clothes on all the time, even at the beaches. But, with the advent of the Internet, seeing naked people is now commonplace and after a while, pretty boring. Contrary to the dire predictions of the religiously deranged, the availability of porn has not transformed the entire nation into a population of ravening sex maniacs (at least outside of Washington DC and the churches), but instead we are now more relaxed and sophisticated about sexual matters, not unlike our more worldly European cousins.
Porn (unless well done) is boring and passe'. Online users are looking for the next big thing and at the moment, the social networks are the hot thing; in effect an emerging democratic self-government system devoid of ruling body.
Government by Twitter! Now there's an idea! AIPAC cannot bribe an iPhone!

Courtney couldn't help, but pace the room that morning. "Leah, why aren't they here? I told them to show up at 8:05; it is now 8:12."
"Calm down." Josh whispered Gaga and knocked on the door. "See, they are here now." Leah opened the door and found Josh balancing platefuls of food in two hands.
"No wonder you are late. You took a few trips down the buffet line."
"Everyone is here, so let's get started. We need someone to stand guard near the door."
Josh raised his hand. "I'll do it."
"Thank you Josh. Mickey, Courtney, and I will search the room. Josh, you will stand nearby with a cowbell and hit it once when people come near. If people ask, say you're waiting for your instructor so you can learn the proper technique. If Mike comes just keep hitting the cowbell vigorously and distract him." Josh nodded at Leah to show he understood.
"We have one hour and thirty minutes to get in and get out. Let's get up there and use our time wisely." Courtney gestured they all head towards the door. They got upstairs and reached room 14C.
Mickey asked, "The door is locked, how are we getting in?"
Courtney pulled out an I.D. card and two bobby pins. "I got it figured out. I tested it on my door this morning." Courtney put the bobby pin in the lock and moved it about. Then she slid the card between the door and its frame and then she pushed open the door.
"Cool," Mickey looked between the open door, the bobby pin, and the I.D. card.
"Let's not stand outside. Let's go inside so we don't get caught." The girls hurried inside. "Now, we have to be out of here by no later than 10. Look through bags, coat pockets, and pants pockets." They started their search at 8:40.
Leah interrupted the search party. "Does anyone have a piece of paper?" Mickey handed Leah a notebook on the table. Time ticked on until 9:40 when the girls heard Josh click the cowbell. They decided they had all the information they could find. They left the room and started to head down the stairs and saw Mike coming up.
"What were you four doing upstairs?" Mike looked suspiciously mostly at Leah and Courtney.
Courtney quickly replied. "Josh had a question about a part on the cowbell, but he realized what he was doing wrong while waiting for you."
"Oh, I see. Well...don't forget we have practice at 2." Mike looked like he didn't believe their story.
"Wait, Mike I have a joke for you." Mike looked at Mickey. "Josh, come here. Hey Josh, if you were a triangle, you would be acute. Ha ha ha ha. Get it."
"Wait Mike, I have one for Mickey that I want you to hear." Josh turned backed to Mickey. "There are 19 letters in the alphabet, right? Oh wait, I forgot U R A Q T. Oh yeah, and J K. LOL, isn't it funny Mike?"
"Yeah...see you guys at practice." Mike shook his head as he walked away.
"Nice job at distracting him. Let's go back to the room and share what we found." Courtney led the way back to Leah and her room.
