Posted on 11/11/2012 8:12:16 AM PST by TurboZamboni
Yes, the federal government is growing, as measured by its outlays of money. However, if one compares these to the size of the overall economy, the increases are less dramatic than many claim.
Total federal outlays during the first three fiscal years of the Obama administration averaged 24 percent of Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, which measures the value of all final goods and services produced in our economy. That was an all-time high.
But 30 years ago, during the first three fiscal years of the Reagan administration, they averaged 22.5 percent. Whether an increase of 1.5 percentage points over three decades really represents out-of-control growth of government is a subjective question readers must decide for themselves, but it doesn't particularly alarm me...

Nothing to see here. Just move on and go about your business. Everything will be fine.
So as Reagan first implemented his policies and the economy was still terrible with high unemployment low growth terrible interest rates and malaise.
The question is where it was in the 25 years between 1983 and 2007. That's when we had a prosperous society.
C,pare the economic numbers in Reagan's 4th year and Obama's 4th year and you see the difference.
Well, in that case there is no 'fiscal cliff' and Boehner can wear the balls he seems to use when he talks to the GOP during his meetings with the rats.
Gross: US fiscal cliff deeper than advertised. Its a Grand Canyon. Washington will defer entitlement cuts & raise revenues only marginally.— PIMCO (@PIMCO) November 11, 2012
The problem with government dweebs who purport to be Kenysians, is they never finished the book where it said after an economy responded to stimulus, you need to pay down the debt—so you could do it again. Instead, when the revenues soared in the past, we just spent it.
Stupid fools.
Greece just didn't do it correctly. /s
This article is a veritable dart board. Remember when the main benefit of federal employment was "the benefits," and they were "sacrificing income?" Look again.
What Ed neglects to tell you is Reagan's increases were for a defense buildup that eventually led to the peace dividends of reduced defense spending in later years. And defense spending can be controlled so that it does not grow like topsy. Obama's were for increasing social spending and introducing new social programs that are uncontrollable and only result in snowballing spending.Obama's spending has planted the seeds of systemic destruction. Reagan's did not. And even then Obama still outspent Reagan as a percent of GDP.
On top of the totally out of control federal government, there are the out of control state and local governments as well. When I moved to California, our sales tax was about 3%. Today it's almost 10%.
But, hey! Do I worry? Nah, because our Overlords are the best and brightest and they know how I should live my life better than I do.
That's because our "best and brightest" are much better and brighter than their best and brightest.
Naw, I agree, nothing to worry about.
What those number really tell us is the government got in the business of contracting out it's labor force. The ratio of people paid by the government verses the private sector is meaningless without looking at the dollars spent.
Whistling past the graveyard in Communist MN.
Heh. Ed Lotterman, shill for Obamugabe.
Okay, Ed, things are just freakin' peachy, ain't they?
Reagan's government grew, IIRC, by an increase in our weakened national defense (thank you Jimmy Carter). Obamugabe's growth is coming by an increase in the welfare state.
Ed seems to like comparing apples and oranges.
Maybe the right comparison will be Obama's 6th year to Reagan's 4th year in order to account for the greater severity of the recession Obama inherited.
The only thing to remember is that we're borrowing money to pay interest and principal on our existing debt.
The author claims two things, that Reagan did it(high spending), and that it(high spending) isn't alarming.
The author is wrong on both counts.
Tip O'Neill and his Democrat Congress were a big part of that 22.5% of GDP spending.
Federal debt as a percentage of GDP 30 years ago was in the low thirties. I believe it's now over 100%..
I would guess that the only thing that would "alarm" the author Ed Lotterman, is a tight collar.
That's a good point. It would be interesting to see that same number including govt contractors. I work for the govt and in my organization contractors outnumber govt employees by at least 3 to 1. For a given project there's usually a government lead who calls the shots and then there's a bunch of contractors under him who do the bulk of the work. It actually works really well and we've got a good relationship with our contractors who do excellent work. But there's no doubt that you're not seeing the whole picture if you're only looking at the govt side of things.
He's Ed LottoBS.
Life's great as long as you can borrow money.
If the sky isn't falling then why are the economic numbers falling?
Jeez... it's hard to find adequate adjectives to describe how stupid this "analysis" is.
Our tax revenues have collapsed to less than 15% of GDP - meaning, we have a 9% of GDP deficit.
That's IF we had a budget, which we don't.
That also ignores the fact that now that the Boomers are shifting to SS/Medicare in large numbers, the deficit is about to grow upwards at rates previously unseen.
And then there's the time bomb to end all time bombs on the budget: the interest on the debt. The Federal Reserve has crushed interest rates to absurdly low levels, and the US Treasury has responded by rolling more and more debt into the short end of the yield curve. This means that when interest rates finally go upwards again, the interest costs on the national debt portfolio will explode upwards in a very short period of time, because the Treasury will have to roll the vast majority of the debt within 7 years.
The Fed has either lied or been so incompetant... that not a single economic predictor that they publish has been correct... and they know it... and we know it... and they know that we know it... but being progressives... they will lie until the very end... even while burning in the pits of hell.
We're talking about you here --> http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2958262/posts
That's very true; I hear that even in the Dem bastions of local government around here.
Pioneer Press Marxist cheerleaders will wait for a communist revolution before sounding the alarm; and then it'll only be to herald the complete government takeover of every aspect of the American economy and American life.
There's simply no possible way to sugarcoat it - the United States is rolling toward a cliff and no one intends to stop it.
Yeah, and we were in a recession then, too.
Fun with statistics!
homelessness,scandals, recessions...none of that matters as long a Dem is pres.

Google Searches for a Mobile Answer (Update 1)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google(GOOG) has vastly underperformed since the start of 2012. Shareholders hope the company's first-quarter results on Thursday can be a catalyst for the stock to move higher.
Since the start of the year, Google shares have lost 1.99%, compared to a 15.79% gain in the Nasdaq. Weakness in Europe, concerns over its relationship with Apple(AAPL) in mobile search and potential issues with Google's pending Motorola Mobility (MMI) acquisition have weighed on the stock.
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster believes that investors will want to focus on the Motorola acquisition, despite Google's penchant for not mentioning it. He believes the best option for Google is to ultimately sell the hardware business, in order not to upset Android partners. Munster rates Google shares "overweight" with a $675 price target.
The Internet search giant has struggled to drive revenue from its mobile initiatives , despite having over 50% market share in smartphones , according to Comscore. Apple's(AAPL) iOS is second in the U.S., with 30.2% market share, and Research In Motion (RIMM) is in third place at 13.4%.
When Google reported weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings , there were concerns that perhaps the company is expanding into too many ventures, many of which are not driving meaningful revenue, such as the much-maligned social network, Google+. Google CEO Larry Page recently said the social network has over 100 million users (though there has been discussion about how many of these are active users).
During the fourth quarter, Page announced plans to consolidate many of the company's ventures. A prime example of this strategy was Google's app store, now renamed Google Play, encompassing music, apps, videos and games.
There have also been concerns that Google's nascent search advertising business is struggling to grow, prompting speculation drastic action may be needed, such as buying Twitter. In the fourth quarter, Google reported a profit of $9.50 per share on revenue of $8.13 billion. Total revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs or revenue Google shares with its partners, was $10.58 billion.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were looking for a profit of $10.49 per share on $8.4 billion in revenue.
Sanford Bernstein analyst Carlos Kirjner believes that search will continue to grow double-digit percentages, and display and YouTube "will be material contributors to revenue growth and profitability, leading revenues and profits to beat expectations." Kirjner rates Google shares "overweight" with a $727 price target.
J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth believes that the quality of ads are changing for the better, but that could weigh on cost-per-click, a key metric, in the short run.
"Designed to be net revenue positive, search and ad changes are continually rolled out and the net impact to individual metrics can vary quarter to quarter," Anmuth wrote, in his research note. "Google commented on its Inside Search blog that approximately 107 search quality changes were made in the quarter (17 in January, 40 in February, 50 in March)." He rates Google shares "overweight" with a $686 price target.

About the Author: Beau Miller serves in the Public Affairs Section of U.S. Embassy Hanoi."Breathtaking" was how Secretary Clinton recently described the progress that has been made in the 15-year-old relationship between the United States and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
On the ground, the excitement of representing the United States overseas is coupled with the pleasure of doing so in an environment where both sides are so firmly committed to building bridges of trust and cooperation. Since I arrived in Hanoi on the heels of Secretary Clinton's visit in July, there has been a flurry of activity, including programs and projects to commemorate 15 years of bilateral relations, as well as visits by members of Congress and Secretary of Defense Gates. For the last several weeks, the bustle has been multiplied as the embassy entered "countdown" mode in anticipation of Secretary Clinton's return.
The Secretary is here to attend the East Asia Summit -- an historic first for the United States, leading up to President Obama's full participation at next year's EAS in Indonesia. Secretary Clinton's trip also includes a Lower Mekong Initiative working breakfast, as well as other meetings with leaders from throughout the region. You can read more about the Secretary's visit to Vietnam here.
In order to facilitate broad media coverage of both the visit and our Asia-Pacific foreign policy objectives laid out in the Secretary's recent Hawaii speech, the Embassy Hanoi public affairs team has been in constant coordination within the entire embassy and with Washington, traveling staffers, the government of Vietnam, and dozens of reporters hungry for a story. The stage is set.
The Secretary's plane touched down, and all of our planning will soon be put to the test.

About the Author: Arturo Valenzuela serves as Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs.
Sixteen years ago, on July 18, 1994, a car bomb destroyed the AMIA Jewish Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The terrorist attack killed 85 people and injured more than 300 Argentine citizens. It was a tragic and deplorable act.
On this sad occasion, the American people offer our deepest condolences to the victims and their families. We also commend the Government of Argentina for its resolute pursuit of justice, as well as for its role as a regional leader in advancing human rights and in combating terrorism.
Sarah G. in Washington DC writes:
Thank you for posting this heartfelt message. These anniversaries are necessary to remember so that tragedies like this never happen again. Thanks, Assistant Secretary Valenzuela!
Pamela G. in West Virginia writes:
Our deepest condolences go to the families of the victims. Also I give Argentina congratulations for keeping this terror attack on the forefront.

How many times have you heard someone say — I can't draw, I can't sing, I can't dance — with the case-closed authority of Solomon? Probably dozens of times, more if you yourself happen to be an artist blessed with the painting, flamenco, or woodworking gene. But have you ever heard anyone sheepishly confess, as they backed away palms up from an evergreen tree, Oh, not me — I can't decorate Christmas trees?
Doesn't happen!
Most of us dive into holiday tree trimming with gusto. We've got our methods, materials, and secret techniques down pat — from anchoring the tree so it stands straight to untangling strings of lights with a finesse that Houdini would have admired. Charlie Parker could have learned something from our daring as we coax familiar ornaments into different compositions each year, sentimental riffs made anew as a crystal angel is paired with a Santa made of plastic gumdrops or a tacky beaded lobster, to name some of my family's favorites. Could Jackson Pollock outdo any of us tinsel-lobbers as we throw sparkling handfuls with random abandon? Or perhaps you prefer the single-strand-at-a-time method, placed with the en pointe precision of a Russian ballerina. I'm working the tree metaphor here, but feel free to substitute holiday crafts, baking, decorating, caroling, or gift-wrapping.
It's your thing!
More good news! Remember Charlie Brown's scraggly Douglas fir? The one with three spindly branches and a single bulb that weighed it down like a lead onion? Was there anything more pathetic or endearing? Pathetic attempts are not only okay at Christmas, they're entirely fashionable. Call it folk art. Unlike the rest of the over-achieving calendar year, trying, if not actually succeeding, is acceptable during this season. Because, really, it's not a question of what you are doing, it's how you are doing it. The smallest of art projects becomes luminous with awareness and love.
For centuries, until recently, art was a concrete and widespread way of expressing one's faith. Artists and artisans conveyed their devotion to God through painting, verse, and music. With the advent of the industrial age, abetted by myriad other factors, making art became the impractical pursuit of a chosen few. This is the great, unspoken loss of contemporary life. Creativity at its most transcendent — the moment when the work of art takes on its own life, when there is no separation between maker and object, when the artist is being re-formed by the very thing he or she is making — is comparable to the pure, blissful connection achieved in prayer or meditation.
We cherish Christmas because it presents us with weeks (months!) of artistic expression that is usually kept under wraps during the rest of the year. Christmas is a time when everyone has the opportunity to create — an act of transformation that mirrors what is most sacred in each of us. The works of our hands give glory to our Creator as they reveal us at our most human and most holy. Each of us was created with the same inexhaustible delight and diversity found in nature, and we are free to create with similar abandon. Perhaps this is the true magic of the season: We don't question whether we should, or judge whether we can, we just create! I'd venture that we'd be more fully ourselves, as human beings and as spiritual beings, if we allowed ourselves that freedom more often.
This season let your spirit shine forth in the tree you trim, the candles you light, the songs you sing, and the cookies you bake. Let every ribbon you tie tie you more closely to your loved ones and to your own beautiful creative soul. While you're in the Christmas spirit, why not consider giving yourself the gift of creativity, surely the gift that keeps on giving, all year round.
Judith Dupré is a fellow of Yale University's Saybrook College and the author of several books. Her latest book is Full of Grace: Encountering Mary in Faith, Art and Life, a collection of stories about everyday spirituality and the nature of personal transformation.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Lalou Chafing This suit is very comfortable and you will get an amazing amount of use out of it. Only downside is that the mesh lining on the sides really chafes your arms. I know 2 other woman that have the same problem with this suit. We are swim instructors so this suit gets daily use. May 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by weasels Great suit for swimming I love this suit - legs aren't too high or too low. I am 5'6, 150 lbs, 45 y/o, 34 DD and a size 10 fits just fine (I have a 12 and it's saggy). This suit does not have a shelf bra, or any kind of bra and it doesn't need one. The back zipper is a little tricky, but I figure it's good to maintain flexibility, or attach a string. Good coverage, no chafing. I haven't had any wear issues with my old suit that is the same style. January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by casasf This suit is meant for WATER POLO Hi gals, This suit was designed for water polo. Hence, no supporting bra stuff, and the fit is very small. This is intentional so that the opposing team members cannot grab hold of the suit during competition. That said, I'm an open water swimmer and many of the women in my swim club wear these suits for open water swimming. They are great suits - they fit well (if you order the correct size as they run about a size smaller than a regular suit), they dry quickly, they last, and they do not stretch out easily. The armholes are cut large for ease of movement. I have been wearing these suits for a number of years and can highly recommend them. And, you will probably want to attach a leash of some kind to the zipper hole so you can dress and undress on your own! However, if you are long in the body, I would recommend a Speedo-made suit instead, as they are cut longer through the trunk. December 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by annpyed polo player Irritated by lack of understanding for everyone complaining about the zipper and lack of a bra, this is a water polo suit .it is designed for a very hands on sport and these features are necessary for the girls who play the sport.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Paris Girl Supporting Material I am a girl with a small waist and large breasts and if your looking for a swim suit with good support this is not it! Maybe because the earlier reviews told me to get a size larger and i ended up with two sizes larger (size 34 to a 38). But it oddly fit ok at the bottom but was too big at the top......Competitve Swimmer/ Swim Coach December 21, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5�by Rachy excellent suit well worth the money Excellent swimsuit. Do recommend going one size larger than you normally wear. I swim daily and found this one fits perfect - again one size up. It looks great and performs wonderfully in pool and ocean. Love the high neckline and wide arm openings. It washes well and dries quickly. Was concerned there was no bra or added shelf support as I am a DD, but this suit covers well and the fabric helps minimize bounce that additional support isn't needed. Really! December 21, 2011

Do you remember the Playbill, the Cadillac Club? How about the Key Club or Sparky J's? Do you know someone, a friend, a parent, a grandparent who used to hang out in Newark's jazz scene back during the heyday?
WBGO News is looking for first-hand stories of Newark's rich jazz history to capture as part of a new aural history project. We're looking for remembrances from those times. What did the places look like, smell like, feel like, etc. Why were they so much fun during that time? What made the jazz clubs the place to be. What did they like about them. What performers did they see there? What songs got people moving? Did they perhaps meet their future spouse at a club?
We're looking to interview people who have stories to tell about this aspect of Newark's rich cultural heritage. You can reach us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or you can get in touch with news director Doug Doyle at 973-624-8880, ext. 264.

NAIROBI , 24 February - The Arctic, one of the last great wilderness areas on Earth is under threat from over- exploitation and a lack of protection.
Rapid infrastructure development, compounded by global climate change, is threatening wildlife and the lifestyles and livelihoods of indigenous peoples across the Arctic's unique coastal and marine areas.
Less than one percent of these critically important coastal areas are protected, according to a new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
The report, "Vital Arctic Graphics", says that the construction of roads, pipelines, power-lines and hydropower dams have increased dramatically in the past decades in northern Scandinavia, Russia, northwestern Canada and Alaska.
It also warns that global climate change is causing sea ice to melt along coastal areas and that this could open up areas to unsustainable resource exploitation including more intensive coastal fisheries.
The report also points to the potential impacts on indigenous peoples from increased competition to land rights and natural resources to the further introduction of pollution and toxins into the human food chain.
Traditional lifestyles with extensive use of food from sea mammals, wildlife and birds eggs make arctic peoples extremely vulnerable to accumulation of toxins, POPs (persistent organic pollutants) and heavy metals.
Indigenous peoples in the Arctic have some of the highest known exposures to these chemicals, like POPs, which pose serious health risks, even though they have not used or necessarily benefited from industries associated with these chemicals.
According to the new report exposure to Mercury, one of the most toxic heavy metals in the world, is on the increase. Some groups of indigenous peoples in Greenland and in Arctic Canada have been found to have very high exposure to mercury, the report says.
Launching the report in Nairobi today, Klaus Toepfer, UNEP's Executive Director, said, "The coming decade may be our last chance to preserve this global heritage, of which no equivalent remains anywhere on this planet and which is so crucial to Arctic peoples and life."
While the coming into force of the Kyoto Protocol is an important step forward, climate change is already impacting the Arctic environment.
Late in 2004, an impact assessment on the Arctic concluded that over the past three decades, sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has declined an average of 8% annually, exposing an area larger than Texas and Arizona combined. The effect is most dramatic in summer, when ice levels drop as much as 20%.
By 2100, as much as half of the region's sea ice may have melted away with huge consequences not only for global weather systems but the people and wildlife of the Arctic.
Mr Toepfer said, "While there have been warnings on climate change and development in the Arctic separately, these coasts and marine areas are now facing the cumulative impacts of these two pressures. Separately the threats of over-exploitation and climate change are severe, but together they are deadly," he said.
"We can still give these ecosystems and people a chance to reduce the impacts of climate change by protecting the vital coastal areas", says Christian Nellemann, Senior officer at UNEP's Arctic centre in Arendal, Norway. "Wild coasts and untouched sea together are hardly seen anymore or anywhere else on the planet"
"Arctic governments have a lot of flexibility in selecting protected areas without compromising sensitive development plans because there is still wilderness left. There is therefore a large window of opportunity for them now to take this global responsibility before it is too late. But it is becoming urgent", he adds.
The Arctic council, a council of ministers and indigenous peoples from the Arctic, recently declared to speed up the protection status of particularly marine areas.
Coastal areas are particularly important to Arctic peoples and ecosystems. Caribou and reindeer, crucial to people like the Saami and the Nenets, often travel to the coastal regions for their calving grounds and summer ranges. Many species, such as polar bears, walrus and shore birds, breed on and near land but spend most of their lives and find most of their food at sea or in the drift ice.
These areas also have a global significance. During the short summer season, millions of migratory birds arrive in the Arctic to breed in the wetlands and coastal shores of the tundra plains. No other place on Earth receives migratory species from so many corners of the planet.
According to the new report while more than 71% of coasts worldwide are now impacted by development and their coastal-marine areas exposed to industrialised fisheries, the equivalent figure in the Arctic is still less than 7%. More than 90 percent of the Worlds non-Arctic coasts may become impacted by 2050 by human development.
The report says, therefore, that the Arctic appears to hold the last of the world's remaining large, undeveloped coastal ecosystems, a unique global ecological heritage.

JL's "Real Love" demo used in JCPenney commercial
The piano demo version you hear of "Real Love" from "Working Class Hero - The Definitive Lennon" has just started airing on telly for a JCPenney Christmas ad.
See it here:
Yoko Ono Did Sell Out John Lennon to JCPenney
Tuesday, November 13, 2007
By Roger Friedman, Fox News
Yoko Ono did sell John Lennon's rare home recording of "Real Love" to JCPenney for a commercial.
The spot began airing on Sunday night during ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" before JCPenney could even make the announcement.
The Beatles have had their songs licensed for commercials in the past, but with the rare exception of perhaps "Revolution" years ago, they never have allowed master recordings out. The songs are always re-recorded.
Ad agency Saatchi and Saatchi handled the deal, I'm told, with Ono directly. The much-disliked widow of Lennon has sold a number of items under her late husband's name over the years, including glasses, art and an action figure. But using a rare, acoustic home recording — and a beautiful, haunting one at that — as the Christmas song for a department store seems particularly greedy.
Ono, who should be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, prides herself on being a "citizen of the world" who advocates peace. For years she's promoted her own charity, The Spirit Foundation. But a check of the Spirit Foundation's recent federal tax filings shows that Ono does a lot less for charity than one might have supposed.
I know I always thought she did a lot more, given that — because Lennon died — Ono as his heir receives a larger portion of his and Paul McCartney's songwriting royalties.
But here's the breakdown. From 2000 through 2005, Ono's Spirit Foundation gave away only $2.6 million — a fraction of her enormous income. In 2005-2006, her donations were: $239,000 to Foster Plan Japan (to build school classrooms in China and Africa); $15,000 to Bailey House in New York City for people living with AIDS; $10,000 to a school in Harlem; and $30,000 to a small Los Angeles charity called Real Medicine Foundation.
Ono also recently gave Amnesty International the rights to two dozen post-Beatle Lennon songs for an album of "covers" by other artists ranging from REM and U2 to lesser-known names. The money goes to AI's "Save Darfur" campaign, but it's not clear how much has been derived since Warner Music, the issuing label, has kept the project a secret.
Still, the small cash outlay is a little surprising. While no one would question Ono's generosity to these groups, it also seems like a few are missing. All this time I would have assumed Yoko Ono was giving money directly to Amnesty International, for example, and Greenpeace, as well as to record industry charities such as T.J. Martell and MusiCares.
How about a worthy cause such as Elton John's AIDS Foundation, Sting and Trudie Styler's Rainforest Foundation or a New York charity, for example, the Robin Hood Foundation? But maybe that's what she'll do with the JCPenney money. You never know.

After 13 great years at Sun, today is my last day.
I started back in 1995 the month that Java was introduced and leave after seeing it open-sourced and, as of earlier this week powering of all things, the Free Software Foundation's GNU 25th birthday video.
My ever changing roles (a self-indulgent look at my life at Sun)
I began my career at Sun, after a brief stint in chip marketing, in manufacturing operations as part of a team setting up manufacturing in Brazil. From Ops I returned to marketing as a product manager for the JavaStation and then Sun Ray. The naming process for Sun Ray provided an entre for me to become Sun's Naming and Logo Tsar, which in turn led to advertising. From there I grabbed the chance to drive the design, development and managing of Sun's first (and only) consumer website, java.com.
For my last leg here at the fiery orb, I saw an opportunity to champion Sun's participation in GNU/Linux and FOSS arenas. Its been a wild ride but I've very proud of all that we've accomplished in packaging and doc publishing as well as the cool podcasts) and have enjoyed all the great people I've met in the various communities.
What's next and Where can you find me?
On Monday I start at Lombardi Software, a late-stage start-up and Sun partner here in Austin. I will be the marketing director for their cloud-based offering Blueprint (which you can register for for free, as in beer, on their site). As for blogging, once I get settled you will be able to find me here.
Yep, my 5-year plan at Sun ended up lasting a little longer than I originally planned. I have thoroughly enjoyed the many varied opportunities I've had here and all the fantastic people I've had the chance to work with both inside and outside the company.
I look forward to working with many of these people in the future when our paths will invariably cross again!

Reviews of this property
Wonderful apartment in a quiet residential area east of Malaga. Highly recommend!! Antonio and Irene are wonderful hosts!
Antonio and his wife Irene are very nice and warm persons, they will always help you with any question you have. The apartment is clean and descent. Everything is in it, including (bath) towels and 2 bathrooms. Just visit them to discover it! No regrets at all staying there for 2 weeks with 2 children 18 and 13 years old.
We stayed two weeks in mid-June in the apartment along with our two small children. Antonio and his wife have taken care of us well and briefly familiarized with Malaga. The apartment is more than adequately spacious, with plenty of storage space. The pool should be shared with the occupants of the other apartments, but we had the pool mostly just for us. The whole area of the apartment is safe and fully sealed. When the apartment is an underground car park. We had a rental car and there was still convenient. The apartment is 1.5k from the sea, but after a steep climb. For good walkers no problem, but to push a carriage or buggy though. In Malaga there are plenty of underground parking, close to the main attractions. Close to the apartment is an Aldi supermarket where you can find all the food. There is also a 700m a small center with bakery, restaurant, pizzeria ...
Antonio and his wife were quite flexible due to check-in and check-out hours.
Wij verbleven 2 weken midden juni in het appartement samen met onze 2 kleine kindjes. Antonio en zijn vrouw hebben ons goed opgevangen en kort wegwijs gemaakt in Malaga. Het appartement is meer dan voldoende ruim, met voldoende bergruimte. Het zwembad moet je delen met de bewoners van de andere appartementen, maar wij hadden het zwembad meestal voor ons alleen. Heel het domein van het appartement is veilig en volledig afgesloten. Bij het appartement is een ondergrondse parkeergarage. Wij hadden een huurauto en was er toch handig. Het appartement ligt op 1.5k van de zee, maar wel na een stevige klim. Voor goede wandelaars geen probleem, maar om een koets of buggy op te duwen wel. In Malaga zijn er voldoende ondergrondse parkeergarages, dichtbij de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden. Kortbij het appartement is een Aldi-supermarkt waar je alle voedingswaren vindt. Er is ook op 700m een klein centrum met bakker, restaurant, pizzeria...
Antonio en zijn vrouw waren heel flexibel ivm met check-in en check-out uren.
A great and spacious apartment with all the facilities that you need. Very clean apartment and a great view from the terrace.
Great apartment for families with (small) children.
Antonio and his wife are very friendly, he even picked us up by the beach, to take us with his car uphill to the apartment.
And Antonio has a great music collection.
Recommended when you plan to stay in Malaga!
Almost everything that could be said about location and equipment, has been said in other reviews. In short we could say that everything was just great. Antonio is an excellent host.
Casi todo lo que se podría decir sobre ubicación y equipamiento, se ha dicho en otros comentarios. En resumen podríamos decir que todo ha sido simplemente genial. Antonio es un anfitrión excelente.
we are a mature couple (aged 60) from finland with a lot of travel experiences. as now retired we wanted to spend a nice three months in malaga. the apartment and its owner antonio with his partner irene were a great choice. the hosting couple gave us all the support, advice and help we needed for excursions, events, cultural experiences, etc. antonio likes to speak spanish and french, irene is very good with english. the apartment itself is big, offers many possibilities to relax and lies in the very beautiful and quiet suburb of cerrado calderon with all the necessary services within walking distance from the apartment. the next bus stop is only a 10 minutes walk away and travelling by bus or taxi in malaga is very easy and extremely cheap.the general bus fare in malaga is 1,30 euros for one hour! when using an own or rented car, the garage in the house and the quick and easy access to the highway make life of car divers very easy. for us the only minor disadvantage was the fact, that the apartment is situated a bit up in the hills. it offers very nice views over the suburb and the mediterrean sea, but it also means, that after visiting the very interesting city centre of malaga, the beach or other places, one needs to climb up rather steep roads before getting home. this makes the use of bicycles very challenging. but then one can always use a taxi. by bus the very centre of malaga is 30 minutes away from the apartment, to the closest beaches and their nice restaurants it is a 20 minutes walk downhill. overall we enjoyed the three months in antonios apartment, in malaga and in the many beautiful places in andalusia very much and we wish all of you similar great holiday experiences!
We had a wonderful stay in Antonio's apartment! It is a great apartment in a beautiful and quiet residential area east of Malaga. Antonio and his wife are kind, reliable and great hosts! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!!!
Highly recommend!
We have enjoyed four weeks in this apartment. We enjoyed a lovely terrace with sun and partial ocean. The apartment has been equipped and operated as a nice home for us in the period.
Antonio and his wife have been very helpful in showing us right nearby. Was there a problem in the apartment, it was just to write or call, come help immediately
A host and an opportunity that we certainly can recommend.
Vi har nydt 4 uger i denne lejlighed. Vi har nydt en dejlig terrasse med sol og havkig. Lejligheden har været veludstyret og fungeret som et dejligt hjem for os i perioden.
Antonio og hans kone har været meget behjælpelige med at vise os til rette i nærområdet. Var der et problem i lejligheden, var det blot at skrive eller ringe, så kom hjælpen øjeblikkeligt
En vært og en lejlighed, som vi bestemt kan anbefale.
We were very pleased with the apartment Antonio is great, well equipped for a family, including children from infancy.
We had a good welcome and good information.
We thank Antonio
Nous avons été très satisfaits de l'appartement d'Antonio qui est grand, bien équipé pour toute une famille, notamment pour les enfants de bas âge.
Nous avons eu un bon accueil et de bon renseignements.
Nous remercions Antonio
We have been four people in the apartment and the four came away happy with both the apartment as the treatment we dispense Antonio, the owner. The apartment is really nice, spotlessly clean with many amenities. We recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a peaceful accommodation in Malaga

Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis in a Social Work Sample
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ). The 24-item EBPQ was developed to measure health professionals' attitudes toward, knowledge of, and use of evidence-based practice (EBP). A confirmatory factor analysis was performed on the EBPQ given to a random sample of National Association of Social Work members (N = 167). The coefficient alpha of the EBPQ was .93. The study supported a 23-item 3-factor model with acceptable model fit indices (χ² = 469.04; RMSEA = .081; SRMR = .068; CFI = .900). This study suggests a slightly modified EBPQ may be a useful tool to assess social workers' attitudes toward, knowledge of, and use of EBP.

Wheels up! Secretary Kerry just wrapped up his two-day visit to Moscow, his first to Russia as Secretary of State -- and I wanted to share some of the highlights with you. His trip occurred as part of an intensified set of contacts with senior Russian officials this year leading up to a meeting between President Obama and President Putin on the sidelines of the G-8 meeting in June, to be followed by President Obama's visit to Russia in September.
During his visit, Secretary Kerry met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and, while he acknowledged that there have been some disagreements between our two countries, he noted that on really important issues like Iran, North Korea, and Afghanistan there has been a tremendous amount of cooperation. Secretary Kerry also stated our belief that we share some very significant common interests with respect to Syria -- stability in the region, preventing extremists from creating problems throughout the region -- and the desire to find the common ground. Secretary Kerry and President Putin exchanged views on how to increase trade and investment between our countries. He thanked President Putin for cooperation in dealing with the Boston bombings.
Secretary Kerry then met for several hours with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his delegation. Our dinner hosted by Minister Lavrov continued well past midnight. U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford accompanied Secretary Kerry, and Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov participated on the Russian side to facilitate a serious discussion about Syria, the results of which Minister Lavrov and Secretary Kerry outlined at their press conference.
The following day, I hosted a discussion between Secretary Kerry and prominent civil society leaders. These representatives of some of Russia's most prestigious NGOs and think tanks had the chance to describe to Secretary Kerry the increasingly difficult environment in which they operate. The Secretary expressed support for the development of an independent Russian civil society and received some helpful suggestions on how to foster greater engagements between our citizens in the future.
Secretary Kerry then took the time to meet with our embassy staff at Spaso House and the mood was festive, as many had the chance meet our new Secretary for the first time. While in Moscow, the Secretary also had the opportunity to meet with several World War II veterans in the run up to Russia's Victory Day celebration and laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Secretary Kerry's visit underscored that 2013 has the potential to produce a more productive trajectory in our bilateral relations. His meetings provided the opportunity for both of our governments to remember our wide range of mutual interests, but also prompted creative thinking on how we might deepen our cooperation, even on the hardest issues like Syria. Secretary Kerry's visit gave new vigor to our diplomatic engagement with Russia. It's great to have him lead our team!

@ Amb. McFaul,
It would appear that the Russian federation has already provided an answer to one of my questions above (b), in the negative...and I offered up a fairly concise and accurate assesment here that may provide some interesting reading for you in regards to Russian advanced weapons systems sales to Syria;
Today the BBC is quoting the Russian Foreign Minister as follows;
Sergei Lavrov said on Friday he did not understand "why the media is trying to create a sensation out of this".
"We have not hidden that we supply weapons to Syria under signed contracts, without violating any international agreements, or our own legislation.
"And we most importantly supply anti-aircraft system, and it doesn't create any imbalance of power in the region or any kind of advantages in the fight against the opposition."
Recent statements by Israeli officials would seem to support my analysis that such sales would ""be an absolute "game changing" "red line" for Israel"", and
""would threaten to force a kinetic solution"" as I put it.
So I'd like to offer Sergei Lavrov my thoughts on the matter in order to illuminate his understanding. And if you choose to pass this on to him and he wonders why this citizen has taken the time to offer him some perspective, and why I've decided to drop a verbal nuke on him in public; You can simply tell him my granddad was one of the leading scientists on the Manhattan Project.
First of all he needs to understand that it's not the press he needs to worry about, they just report what is newsworthy. Second, that he needs to understand that the Russian Federation not only has a relationship with other governments including the US, but that it also has a relationship with the people governed , and that the Russian Federation's credibility is fast going down the toilet while it seeks to support and defend a regime that is in process of committing genocide upon its population, using every possible means and the weapons the Russian federation has supplied to them.
Third, in regards to anti ship and anti-air weaponry with opperational ranges in excess of 150 miles, this poses an existential threat to commercial shipping and aircraft of surrounding nations when sold to a regime that is currently targeting its own civilian population. Never mind whether it falls into the hands of hisbollah or not, it is being sold to a regime that is a designated state sponsor of terror that is commiting what can only be described as genocide.
Thus in fact these sales do represent a violation of international agreements, as they inhibit the international community from taking action to prevent genocide , should diplomacy fail to halt the slaughter. That these sales do in fact support terrorism in a material way, and threaten regional peace.
Fourth, To place this in larger context, The Russian Federation claims to seek better relations with the US, complains bitterly about certain pices of legistlation in place, yet would take steps to protect genocidal regimes that threaten the peace of nations, and thus represents a violation of good will and trust not just with the American government and its people, but of all nations concerned trying to find lasting peace in the region, and a "political solution" to this crisis.
If the Russian federation is truly interested in keeping the peace, and committed to seeking and end to this crisis in Syria that allows for it's continued economic and security interests in Syria to be viable in the long term, then I would suggest to Mr. Lavrov that supporting Assad & Co. will be the best way of assuring exactly the opposite of what the Russian Federation claims it seeks to achieve.
Wheras should the Russian Federation inform Assad that they intended to reposses all the weapons it has sold to him over the years because of the uncivilized manner they are currently being put to use, than such action would garner much respect among nations, and stand to assure a long lasting positive influence among the Syrian population.
However, the failure to do so will at this time, and be proven over time, to make the Russian Federation complicit as accessory to genocide and acts of terror. The blowback from that will come at a very high price, as I do not believe the Russian people will put up with that from their own government, given their history.
Far better for Russia to abandon all support of Assad, call for him to step aside and allow a "political transition" to take place, or face physical removal by a united community of nations, and followed up with contributing to international peacekeeping operations and a "Marshall plan" for Syria to rebuild and resolve any threat of terrorist org's gaining foothold in a post-Assad Syria. At this point, I think it's going to take a decade of assistance to help these folks recover from the damage Assad has done to his nation with the weapons Russia has supplied already. I hope they're prepared to pony-up a large portion of the cost, and accept their responsibility as a world power.
Best Regards,

'Magnetic' is inspired by photographer Berenice Abbott's personal style, a mix of no fuss utility with a good amount of joie de vivre.
Berenice gracefully borrowed from the boys and carved her own path. One of the most independent and respected photographers of the 20th century, she traveled through the decades with an aesthetic that never faltered - utilitarian with an air of androgynous chic.

Making Moves
I am leaving Tampa Bay Damage and joining San Antonio X-Factor for the 2013 season. I have informed TBD of my intentions. A month ago this would not have even entered my mind but things change, including me, and in retrospect it doesn't seem so unlikely. (Nor did I ever imagine I would be a footnote in any silly season and yet--here it is.)
Last season with Damage was more of a struggle than the triumph I had almost expected and despite enough consistency to finish second in both major leagues the overall result was a disappointment because we expected better. That was followed by a long silent off season that didn't resolve itself until much later than normal. While retaining a significant role with Damage I felt things had changed irrevocably.
Within a similar time frame--the off season--doctors discovered a growth that was at first believed benign but after it was surgically removed earlier this month proved otherwise. I am presently still awaiting the results of some post op testing but I am moving forward and God willing all will be well. (It had been my intention to hold off on any public announcement until all the testing was complete so I didn't have to mention it at all but circumstances aren't keeping to my time table.)
It is amazing what sort of clarity a situation like this affords. I don't recommend it but it has led me to a new beginning.
Which brings me to X-Factor. First I want to thank Alex Martinez and the whole team for making my move possible. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to getting started. Second I want to explain briefly why X-Factor. My evaluation is that this team has been thru the wars and retained a core of highly experienced and talented players while adding some motivated youthful talent that brings with it a new energy. They have won together and they have lost together and they have made a commitment to each other and displayed a fresh hunger to succeed. What more could anyone ask for? See y'all on the field.

The Washington quarter was first issued in 1932 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of George Washington's birth. After a one year hiatus, production for the series began again, and the coin is still being produced today. The key dates of the series are the 1932-D and 1932-S. These low mintage coins are the only regular issues of the series that can be considered rare, but there are several varieties that have proved to be tough to locate and have become popular with collectors. Varieties of the series include the 1934 Double Die, the 1943-S Double Die, the 1950-S/D, and the 1950-D/S, among others. The popularity of this series has EXPLODED since the statehood quarters were introduced in 1999.

Yes, it matters that they're Korean!
...because, of course, AkihabaraNews.com is "Japan & Asia Tech • Cool and Cultural News." So, we saw this cool robot news, could hear in the accent that these researchers are actually from Korea, and boom: justification!

Well that's an interesting way to go about it...

I received the Geosafari Motorized Solar System for free in order to give a honest review. All opinions are 100% my own. My daughter is only 3 years old and is already interested in the solar system and so I knew she would adore this educational toy. This was very simple to put together. She loves it and doesn't mind to much but the motor is a little noisy. Tolerable, but noisy. I recommend purchasing the AC adaptor with this. As much as it engages children and they want to play with it for so long, it runs through batteries quickly. It also has a Stardome that coverts the unit into a planetarium which I think is awesome, although my daughter does not really understand it yet. I think its a great feature for when she gets a little older and cares to learn about the stars more. It does have small parts, so you must keep an eye on any younger children but I would recommend this for children under 8 as well, just because it is very educational and fun for younger kids to learn on as well.

Beside the motor that is obviously a piece of trash from previous comments and my own motor failing. The 2 other gripes I have is that it could at least come with a power adapter for when the motor breaks down the planetarium will light up, instead of batteries, would lighten the sting of buying a poorly made motor. The last grip I have is where is the southern hemisphere dome for the planetarium part of it, would love to see those stars also. Just a little more and you guys got a hit!

About Me Grandparent
Comments about Educational Insights GeoSafari® Motorized Solar System:
We just received the GeoSafari Motorized Solar System and Planetarium and in the short period of time that we have been using it with our granddaughter, we noticed the planets all move at the same speed and relationship to each other. The bigger disappointment is that the toy does not come with a power adapter nor does it describe the type you need to purchase if you don't want to be dependent on batteries. We will still use this as our granddaughter is very keen to learn about the planets. However, there is some room for improvement.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
Birthday present for my eldest son (5) who is very much into learning everything there is to know about the planets and our solar system. Product arrived with one of two bulbs already bad. Neither the sun or the constellation hemispheres stay in place without masking tape. Motor never worked, never rotated the planets. Very disappointed little boy.
Merchant response: Oh no Haznavy, that is not the quality you should expect from us. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com so we can get you a replacement and your son checking out our solar system right away!

Inferior Quality

About Me Casual/ Recreational
The first problem I had with this is that the screw for the battery compartment did not screw back in when I put batteries in. I heard the inner pieces fall out into the device, and had to to find my own screw that would fit to close it. Secondly, for the price I paid, I at least expected the planets to orbit in the correct speeds, not all at the same speed. I would rather spend a bit more for accuracy. The only educational value is in where the planets are in relation to each other?

Great as a Teaching Tool!

This product is absolutely perfect for teaching children about the solar system! I love how it actually orbits around the sun to show how the solar system works! This tool is great for visual learners in the classroom or at home!
Nice model of the solar system
By MeetPenny.com
from Mobile, Alabama USA
I received this product in exchange for a review but opinions are my own.My children really enjoy watching the planets move around the sun. It makes a great visual aid when teaching them about the planets. When I was learning, all I had was flat pictures. ;)No, the planets do not move at different speeds but to have a product with such precise movement and timing would be much more expensive. The only problem we have experienced with the Educational Insights Geosafari Motorized Solar System is that the top of our sun falls off easily. I am thankful for the extra lightbulb and understand the need to have the top of the sun removable in order to change the lightbulb... I just wish it was hinged or snapped on better.
Great learning tool!

I received this Solar System to review from Educational Insights. My youngest daughter is obsessed with just about everything in the sky. Before receiving this product she had a small push button light for her room that would project stars on the ceiling and we were both excited when we got the Solar System. Not only is it functional, but it is educational as well. I can tell her what the planets are and how they move around the sun and the best part is that she can also see it in motion with this! You can have the sun light up and just be yellow, or you can switch the top and it projects constellations on the ceiling which in my opinion is much better than just stars. She loves watching the planets circle around and loves pointing out the constellations on the ceiling. We have so much fun with this and I think it's great for all kids!

We loved it!
By Angie k
from st louis mo
My 11 year old opened this and he loved it. We put it together very easily. The instructions were easy to follow and each planet is labeled as to the instructions for the order you place them. This was fun to use at home and would be a great item to add to anyone homeschooling and learning about the solar system. The only thing is that it was to big to sit on his dresser so we had to leave it on the floor which was no problem.

good example of planets
By tradgirl
from milwaukee wis
Solar system in motion.First off, the instructions were very well done . My 9 yr old son put this together in less then 15 min by himself . One thing he did notice was the machine itself is rather loud while it rotates. Also the light bulb is not as bright as it could.be, it's hard to see the constellations on the wall. Also it was a little hard to distinguish between which planets were which.He thought it was a very cool model. But has those ideas to pass on.

Roll Into Trail ShapeInline Skating is back and you should be doing it
Photo by Bigstockphoto.com
Far from being a relic alongside the disco ball or shoulder-baring Flashdance shirts, skating has never really gone away—although the official name of its modern-day variant is inline skating, which distinguishes it from the four-corner wheel style made famous by car-hop waitresses and roller-derby queens. Yes, skating has survived into the 21st Century, and (don't snicker!) is an excellent cross-training option for trail runners.
Inline skating builds muscle strength, boosts aerobic potential (lactate threshold), improves balance and coordination and provides a great caloric burn—roughly 350 calories per 30 minutes. That caloric expenditure ranks slightly above cycling, and just below moderate-paced running. Plus, inline skating has virtually no impact forces, making it an alternative to other non-weight bearing activities like aqua jogging and cycling.
Skating has been part of my training routine for nearly 20 years. I generally skate a few times per month, either with long aerobic sessions along the California coastline or random "skate-arounds" at a local park or elementary school. For aerobic workouts, dry concrete or asphalt bike paths are ideal, but anywhere you can find long stretches of asphalt—the fewer turns, the better—in a lightly trafficked area works.
Concrete Benefits
Due to trails' often irregular, rugged terrain, trail runners move laterally more than road runners—think about leaping back and forth across mud puddles, or hopping from one rock to another while crossing a shallow stream. Even just stabilizing your foot on rocks, roots or sloped trails requires lateral-muscle strength and coordination from the adductors on the inside of your thigh and abductors on the outside of your hip.
Additionally, running steep hills requires strong posterior muscles (hamstrings, gluteal muscles and low-back extensors) to propel you upward, and strong quadriceps to control your descent. Inline skating strengthens all of those muscle groups. Combined with the simultaneous challenges of balance and cardiovascular demand, skating creates a "muscle-confusion" situation that is almost guaranteed to leave you sore in all the right places.
Get Inline
If you are a newbie, focus on form. Your shoulders should remain over your hips, and facing forward rather than rotating from side to side. Keep your knees and ankles straight: don't let them cave inward. Shift your weight slightly forward from the ankles. Bend through the ankles, knees and hips, and push one leg to the side to generate movement. As you begin rolling, strive for smooth leg movement from push off to glide, maximizing your glide (rolling) distance on each leg, using gentle arm swing coordinated with leg movements.
First, though, learn how to stop. Inline skates have a heel brake to control your speed and/or bring you to a complete halt. Place your braking foot forward and bend your rear leg before raising your breaking-foot toes to engage the heel brake.
Be careful not to shift your weight too far back, or you risk landing on your tail. On that note, basic protective gear is a wise idea: kneepads, wrist guards and a helmet offer cheap insurance from nasty bumps and scrapes. One cardinal rule of inline skating is that, sooner or later, you are going to crash.
As your skating improves, your strength and coordination while running technical trails is almost certain to follow. Whether you want to add the Daisy Dukes or muscle pants is up to you.

|JS Black Box 5'8 Surfboard - BBX-112235 in Poly/Sand/Clear
Style: BBX-112235
BLAK BOX offers a fuller curvy outline with a higher and more defined hip pulled from the fins into a nice straight directional tail curve through to the wider tail pod. JS has spent a lot of time on this model combining old school outlines with the latest bottom curves showcasing plenty of detail. Once again Jason has come through with another house favorite amongst the JS pro team for smaller waves. The entry is super flat with a double scoop concave under the chest leading into relatively deeper double concave between the fins and single concave exit out through the wider tail. The deck is flat giving the board an overall feeling of extra forgiveness allowing you to ride this board thinner than a normal performance board. You will find this board fast in flat sections because extra foam has been left under your chest and front foot. Ride this board 3-4 inches shorter than normal.
Inside you will find a helpful sizing guide. Use it to find out your true size in different articles of clothing. It will help you determine what size boardshorts or bikini to buy this summer!
You will also find a bundle of new fashion terms that you may have heard before but never quite understood. So, if you're not sure what whiskers, pleats, viscose or the likes of many other terms are, head on over to our glossary section.

At The Gospel Coalition, Joe Carter (Senior Editor for the Acton Institute) does some speculating on whether or not "gay is the new black." That is, can we equate sexual behavior and race when we are discussing questions about equality, marriage, adoption, and discrimination?
By now, most of us are familiar with the issues surrounding Christian business owners (such as bakers and photographers) who have declined to do business for a homosexual wedding. Our nation is currently struggling with whether or not a person with religious beliefs can be forced to violate those beliefs in the name of equality. If I (a Christian) own a hall that I rent out for parties, receptions, etc., can I refuse to rent to a Hispanic or black family? The law says no, and rightly so. Can I refuse to rent that same hall out to a gay couple celebrating their wedding? Carter dissects the issues:
The argument to make this comparison takes the following form:
Major Premise: A sexual orientation is analogous to the category of race.
Minor Premise: Race is a category protected by anti-discrimination laws.
Conclusion: Therefore, sexual orientation should have the same civil-rights protections as those afforded to race.
The question we will examine is whether the major premise is true. Is sexual orientation and its behavior analogous to race? Before we can answer that question, we we must consider what constitutes a justification for anti-discrimination laws.

Topic: Paperclip not saving any images
Hey everyone,
I was hoping this would've been a 5 minute task, but again, my database is not getting the values, this time from paperclip.
I tried this on a test app on my Mac, and it works fine. Go figure! The only difference is on My Mac I'm just using Mongrel, and SQLite for my DB. The main app I have on Ubuntu LTS 8.04 LTS, running on Apache2, mod_rails 2.2.5, with MySQL 5 for my DB.
I got Paperclip installed, generated the paperclip, and called it avatar, of which it associates to the User model.
In the User model I added:
has_attached_file :avatar, :url => "/avatars/users/:id/:basename.:extension", :path => ":rails_root/public/avatars/users/:id/:basename.:extension"
# Added the following lines to attr_accessible
attr_accessible [everything else], :avatar_file_name, :avatar_content_type, :avatar_file_size, :avatar_updated_at
Then in my form for new/update user, I have:
<% form_for @user, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<%= image_tag @user.avatar.url, :width => "150px", :height => "150px" %>
First Name
<%= f.text_field :first %>
Last Name
<%= f.text_field :last %>
<%= f.text_field :login %>
E-mail Address
<%= f.text_field :email %>
Upload an avatar
<%= f.file_field :avatar %>
<%= f.password_field :password %>
Confirm Password
<%= f.password_field :password_confirmation %>
<% if admin? %>
Administrator Role
<%= f.text_field :admin %>
<% else %>
<% end %>

<%= f.submit 'Update Account' %>

Save everything, update the current user in this case, and no go. I look in my Users table in my DB, with a good ol' "select * from users where id = 1;", and all those fields are NULL as I expected.
Ok, so now I go look in log/development.log. I see:
Processing UsersController#update (for 126.96.36.199 at 2009-11-16 17:32:15) [PUT]
Parameters: {"user"=>{"password_confirmation"=>"", "admin"=>"1", "last"=>"Brinkerhoff", "first"=>"Justin", "avatar"=>#<File:/tmp/RackMultipart.18774.1>, "password"=>"", "login"=>"justin", "email"=>"firstname.lastname@example.com"}, "commit"=>"Update Account", "authenticity_token"=>"9z5P+7wcmujDCYkcl0M5OjuCPQPnpUF+1mYp2aBVIew=", "id"=>"1"}

SQL (79.6ms) SET NAMES 'utf8'

So it appears that Paperclip is not processing the uploads properly, or something. I've tried searching around for a solution, but couldn't quite find anything helpful for this strange issue...
Has anyone came across this in the past?
If anyone has some good insight on this, I'd be much appreciative.
