Think Progress illustrates how President Obama's tax plan would actually effect taxpayers earning $250,000 and above:
But as a new report by The New York Times detailed yesterday, even a significant minority of those making over the $250,000 threshold would see no increase under Obama's tax plan, and for the rest the added burden would be minor in comparison to the size of their incomes:
A close look at the president's plan shows that a large majority of families making up to $300,000 — as well as hundreds of thousands of families with even larger incomes — would not pay taxes at a higher marginal rate. [...]
While the president has said that he wants to raise tax rates for the top 2 percent, only about 1 percent of taxpayers will face higher marginal rates, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a widely respected research group.
[...] That $1.6 trillion in revenue can be raised by applying a relatively small tax burden on a very narrowly defined set of Americans is an indication of how extreme and concentrated income inequality has become in America. It also reveals why multiple studies, the latest from the International Monetary Fund, have concluded that Obama's preferred set of tax increases will have a negligible effect on economic growth — the income being hit is largely separate from the low and middle-income Americans who provide the bulk of the demand driving the economy.
An extra $1.6 TRILLION IN REVENUE! When will the House Republicans stop defending the greed of the elites? Common sense tells us that people who take tax deductions for dancing horses, who would rather bankrupt companies and layoff workers rather than reduce executive salaries and bonuses and share profits, and who have — for decades — redirected billions (trillions?) of dollars from the national treasury and the working and middle-class to their own personal (offshore) bank accounts can absolutely, positively, undeniably afford to pay a few extra percentage points in federal taxes.

And healing everyone? Socialism.
I think most people have "the fiscal cliff" confused with the debt ceiling crisis. Really, they're opposites. Not raising the debt ceiling means not paying our debts. Going off the fiscal cliff means paying off our debt by raising taxes and cutting government spending. Well-advertised is the CBO saying going off the cliff could lead to a recession next year. Less advertised is that it also says it could get us into a more sound fiscal position in the long-term.
All this fiscal cliff panic is just proof that we are all Keynesians. Everybody knows that more government spending — whether it's in the form of tax expenditures or social services, helps the economy grow. But you have to balance that with not letting your budget get out of hand.
Since we're looking for new revenue streams that aren't income taxes, Obama should use this budget crisis — if you can call it that — to do something about global warming with a carbon tax. This may be his last and only chance to do something big since cap and trade didn't work. And it would be just desserts for the oil and coal industries that went all in for Mitt Romney, a nice little personal fuck you to the Koch brothers.

I'm going to South America tomorrow: Buenos Aires, Argentina and Montevideo, Uruguay. I just left a meh house party cause I was the only sober person and it sucked (in my defense I am sick). Now I'm on my way home to pack a suitcase. And eat some junk food…but what?
People in France have a phrase: "Spirit of the Stairway." In French: Esprit de l'escalier. It means that moment when you find the answer, but it's too late. Say you're at a party and someone insults you. You have to say something. So under pressure, with everybody watching, you say something lame. But the moment you leave the party…
As you start down the stairway, then — magic. You come up with the perfect thing you should've said. The perfect crippling put-down.
That's the Spirit of the Stairway.
The trouble is even the French don't have a phrase for the stupid things you actually do say under pressure. Those stupid, desperate things you actually think or do.
Some deeds are too low to even get a name. Too low to even get talked about."
— Chuck Palahniuk, "Guts" (via justsaysomethingperfect)

Someone cheer me up; I just started weeping at "New Slang" by The Shins and took an impressive trip down memory lane.

new york through my lens
It has been a while since my road trip to New York.
I have waited so long to share my pictures from the trip because I had this strange feeling of insecurity about them. It was the same feeling I got when I was in New York wearing a XL tourist sweatshirt: no one really cares. There are so many people in that city, somehow all in their own little world. When I was freezing, sick and my feet were killing me, it was actually really nice to know that no one cared what I looked like. Haha!
Taking these pictures was so much fun for me. I wanted to capture every hilarious moment, unique building and interesting person. Even though I still have a lingering feeling that my images of New York are just like every other tourists that passes through the city, I love looking back at the images and remembering the great time we had.
Here are a few of my favorites:
And in the spirit of keepin' it real, here are some quick shots from my iphone.

Jeff Beck and Billy Gibbons discuss the relationship between guitars, cars and more.
Check out 26 photos from Scarlet Page's new charity project, Resonators.
Guitar World looks back on 50 occasionally iconic albums that defined 2004.
We've already seen 1984, so let's fast forward a decade. The year in question — 1994 — was incredibly varied. It was a year of discovery and tragedy, innovation and resurrection.
Take an in-depth look at the virtuosic playing of this Aussie acoustic master! This Signature Licks book includes detailed analysis of 12 songs, plus a CD featuring demos of all the music examples in the book!
He's a veteran breakneck picker and fingerstylist who has performed with Eric Clapton among many others. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is…
Following Steve Howe's departure from Asia in 2012, the band launched a massive search in hopes of finding a suitable replacement for the legendary guitarist. Enter Sam Coulson, a young gun recommended by Paul Gilbert. And by "young," we mean someone who wasn't even born during Asia's first wave of success in the Eighties.
When shopping for an amp, don't take home the first one you plug into. Sure, that amp may feel really good to play, and you may love how it screams, but are you really going to be happy with it when you wake up tomorrow morning? Here are 10 things you should know before you even consider handing over your money to the amp pimp.
Fourteen-year-old guitarist Ray Goren describes LA Sessions, his new EP, as a unique mixture of everything from Jimi Hendrix to Stevie Wonder. Considering the fact that Hendrix's producer, Eddie Kramer, worked on the EP, it's hard to argue.
As part of our 2014 Summer Tour Survival Guide, we talk to David Vincent of Morbid Angel about the sweatiest show he's ever played, and how to beat the heat at an outdoor show.
Once upon a time, the mere act of strapping on an electric guitar and cranking up an amplifier marked one as an outsider, a rebellious badass who refused to live by the laws of a "decent" society. But today's cookie-cutter rockers and forgettable pop janglers make studying for the priesthood seem like an edgier pursuit than playing guitar in a band.
The all-new August 2014 issue of Guitar World is available now!
Earlier this year, Men's Health reporter Will Levith posted a feature called "10 Scientific Reasons You Should Play the Guitar: A Six-String Solution for a Healthier Mind, Body and Libido." Obviously, we figured our readers might be interested in this. The story suggests that the guitar might "be as powerful as anything inside the medicine cabinet. Strapping on a Fender could boost your brainpower, sex life, six-pack and more."

Why the shape of your spine matters
From the front or back, a normal spine seems simple: a straight, vertical line. But from the side, it's a series of undulating curves. These gentle bends make your life easier — and make life easier on your body.
Your spine allows your body to do things that it couldn't do, or couldn't do as well, without the proper curves. For instance, without the inward curve of your low back, you'd have a difficult time standing upright.
The shape of the spine is a distinguishing feature of humans, says Christopher DeWald, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Rush University Medical Center. Most animals have a C-shaped spine that curves them into the horizontal position, but the S-shape of the human spine balances the body upright in a vertical position.
The curves of your spine also protect it from the effects of gravity. "Every time you walk, run or jump, forces from hitting the ground go up into your body," says Sheila Dugan, MD, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at Rush. "Your spinal curves act like a bicycle's shock absorber, diffusing some of that force, so there's less trauma to your joints and discs."
When curves go awry
Unfortunately, the spine doesn't always curve as it should. Such is the case with scoliosis, a condition in which the spine develops a side-to-side S- or C-shaped curve.
People with scoliosis may look like they are leaning to one side. Their head may not be centered over the body, and their shoulders and hips may be uneven.
An especially large scoliosis curve creates an imbalance that DeWald, a scoliosis expert, describes as a tower of blocks. "If you stack the blocks up and offset them a little, they won't fall over," he says. "But if you offset them too much, gravity takes effect."
The further the spine gets out of side-to-side alignment, the greater the pull of gravity on the discs. The greater the pull on the discs, the faster they degenerate, which — in a vicious cycle — continues to make the curve worse.
What can be done?
Scoliosis treatment is often determined based on the degree of the curve and a person's skeletal maturity — whether or not he or she is still growing. The goal is typically to stop the curve from progressing or to correct it. Sometimes progression can be controlled with a brace, which puts pressure at the apex of the curve and opposing pressure above and below it. For a person who has stopped growing or has a severe curve, however, surgery may be recommended to reposition the spine.
Fortunately, the nationally recognized experts at Rush can handle even the most complex scoliosis cases. In fact, they have been treating the condition in people of all ages for more than 35 years and are currently pioneering minimally invasive scoliosis surgery techniques. Rush is also one of the nation's referral centers for adults with scoliosis.
"You take someone who has a significant curve and you straighten it out, and patients can see it, family members can see it, X-rays show it — it's dramatic," DeWald says. "These treatments can be life-changing."

Rivera led the Panthers to a 12-4 record and the NFC South title. The Panthers earned a first-round bye and lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs last Sunday.
The Panthers started the season just 1-3, but responded to win 11 of their final 12 games, including eight straight at one point.
Rivera is the first Panthers head coach to earn the PFWA's Coach of the Year award since Dom Capers won it in back-to-back years in 1995-96.
Rivera also earned the PFWA's Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2005 while with the Chicago Bears.
The PFWA has named an NFL Coach of the Year since 1990 and gave separate AFC and NFC awards from 1970-89.
Kansas City general manager John Dorsey was named executive of the year by the PFWA.
The Chiefs had the worst record in the league a season ago, but after Dorsey made coaching changes, acquired some key free agents and made some good draft picks, they responded to finish with an 11-5 mark and secured a playoff berth.

I really want a pile of tiny, fluffy puppies. I'm making this a new life goal of mine.
Getting back into photoshop isn't as easy as I remember, but at least I have an excellent subject.

So freaking badass.
Why is this a thing?!
One of my favorite characters… though I'm currently mad at her. Poor little Gilbert.
I still think she should've chosen the Phantom…
It's only recently that I've felt much better in my own skin and known my own worth a lot more than I used to.
True love.

Hello, i was wondering to buy this theme but i have a simple question: is possible to change the numer per row of blog entries in home page under the slideshow? and showing 3 per row instead of 2?
Hello, Thank you very much for your interest. Yes you can change that. If you have more questions, please let me know.
i did it by code, editing the template part, there was any better way? Anyway, i appriciate a lot the use of template parts, i could do some changes in a child theme easilly, nice theme
Thanks. You can edit the theme files if you want to make changes in the theme functionality. When I update the theme I mention the file name which has been changed.
If you liked the theme and the support, can you please rate the theme? I will highly appreciate that. You can rate it from your downloads page on themeforest. Thanks.
Hey, just wondering when you plan on releasing an update for some of the bugs/issues? Thanks!
Hi, I will be updating the theme soon. Meanwhile if you find any bugs or any issue, please send the details via email so that I can fix them in the future updates. You can send me an email at ( info at wellthemes.com)
this theme works with old blog with many posts? how to set? Its easy?
Thank you very much for your interest. Yes, you display the blog style posts on homepage. Its easy and I can help you with that.
Is it possible to limit the number of post which just up in the featured carousel, i only want a list of 3.
Yes, you can change the number of posts in the carousel. Open the file feat-carousel.php file from the includes folder and look for this line around line #25:
'posts_per_page' => 15
Change 15 to any number of post you want.
I did that before commenting, but it just stops showing any posts at all.
Do your latest posts have the post thumbnails.
The carousel displays the 15 posts by default. If you want to change that to 3, you can easily do as I mentioned above. Make sure that you are not breaking any syntax (ie. carefully replace 15 with 3), then make sure that your latest posts have the featured images. Then there should not be any problem with it, it should not stop working. However if you are facing any difficulty, please send me your WordPress login information by email to me. You can send me email on (info at wellthemes.com).
Is there a way to remove the footer from the white container? I want my BG (green hills) to be the bg for the footer info. http://runhighgofar.com
Yes, it is possible. You will need to make a few changes in the theme. Here's how you can do:1. Open header.php file and look for this line around line #79:
div id="container"On the next line start a div. For example add this:
Save the file. 2. Open footer.php file and look for this line (around line #15):
footer id="footer"
 Close the container-wrap div by adding

 3. Open style.css file and look for this code (around line#79)
#container { background: #FFFFFF;
 Remove the background by removing the above line. On the next line add this:
 .container-wrap{ overflow: hidden; background: #FFFFFF; }
 Hopw it helps
Thanks, I'm having trouble with footer.php Is this correct?

Q1: Is it possible to create columns with the text?
Q2: How do you disable comments for certain pages?
Thank you.
Hello,1. There is no such existing feature, but if you want to create that you can very easily do that. For example when you create post or page content, you can switch the editor in the text mode and add some html in the post. For example
div class = "columns"> div class = "column1> column 1 content /div> div class = "column2> column 2 content /div> /div>Please note there is < in the begining of each div, I could not add above because it won't allow here. Then you can add the style in the style.css file. For example
.columns{ overflow: hidden; margin: 10px 0; } .column1{ width : 45%; float: left; } .column2{ width : 45%; float: left; margin-left: 10%; }
You can set any width you wish.
2. If you want to disable comments on certain posts or pages, you can do it from the Post edit page. Click on the right side on 'Screen options' and enable 'Discussions'. It will display Discussion options below the text editor, you can disable comments there.
If you need help regarding any of the above issue, let me know.
I did as you suggested (Q1) but it's not working… not sure what I've done wrong. I added the style to the bottom of the style.css file and added the html into the page but it's still showing the columns stacked (not side by side).
Thanks for Q2, it worked perfectly!
If you could send me the login details of your WordPress, I could login and see. You can send these details by email, my email is: info at wellthemes.com
Hi, I'm using MS word 2010 as editor for creating my posts. I want to use font georgia 12 but when I publish this font is converted to another (very similar one). I tried to made some changes in Theme options – typography but at the end no change, always some conversion happen.
Could you give me some tips?
Kind regards, Fernando
Thank you very much for purchasing the theme. The theme options contain the Google fonts, thats why Georgia font is not available there. If you want to change the font family and the size, you can very easily change it in the style.css file. Here's how you can do that:Open style.css file and look for this line around line # 37:
In that body tag, replace the font-family line with the following line:
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Serif;
Also change the font-size from 14px to 12px. Then it will display all the text in the Georgia 12px. If there is something else you wanted to change, please let me know and I will help you with that.
Hello. I want to change the text Breaking News Spanish. It lies on the main page, below the menu on the right.
I can not find the option for editing from the manager, nor the php.
Hi, You should be able to translate that text from the theme translation file. If you want to change that directly in the theme, you can do that too. Open feat-ticket.php file from the includes folder in the theme main directory, you will find that text on line #38. You can change it there.
Hi, For some reason when I just updated the theme to the newest version the star ratings are not working when you click on them? Do you know how to fix this?
I have tested it again just to check that and the star rating works without any problem. It could be probably because of any of your plugin which might be conflicting. Have you installed any plugins or modified any code ? Could you try to disable them and test the theme again? Best idea would be to test the theme on a clean WordPress installation (for example on your local test server). If you need further help, let me know.
Hi thank you for your reply so weird now it is working just fine. I think I just needed to hit control f5 because that did the trick. Thank you so much!
Hi I would like to buy this theme but. There is no Turkish translation. So Can we have problems about Turkish characters with this theme?
Hello, Thank you very much for your interest. There is absolutely no any problem with the translation. The theme is translation ready and its very easy to translate. If you would need any help, I will be happy to help you.
If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask
Slider stopped working on the site http://traveltheworld.com.ua/ In what could be the problem?
Regards Dima
Hey Dima,
Thank you very much for purchasing the theme. Have you installed any plugin recently? Can you try to disable your plugins and try again? Have you made any other changes in the theme? Do you have featured image set for both of the posts in the slider? Let me know and I will help you further.
Thank you for your response Changes were made to this topic only to be replaced on the menu UberMenu. The exact moment when the slider stops working not fixed. I have images in the slider one thing in common – the section. Even the labels are different. Pressing the yellow button on going to another page, the slider is, but change the image was not occur – there is a strong sense of what that delay. While more can not add anything
I'm sorry for bad English
So if you uninstall the UberMenu, does it work fine again?
I turned off the menu, but the slider is not working. Completely remove ubbermenu I can not, because it is important to display the information on the site. If you can than replace – recommend please, I have not found any options ….
Hi again, Most probably this is being caused by any of your plugin or custom changes. If you have not made any changes in the theme, could you please upload the new theme again. You can download the theme from your downloads pages. If you have made changes then you can send me your theme files and I can check if there's any problem with that.
Where to send files topic, help please?
Zip the theme files, and send by email to me: info at wellthemes.com
Make sure that you send your actual theme files which you are using.
Good day! the problem was in the plugin aviasales. After you turn off all earned. Thanks for your time! There is another question – how to duplicate the menu in the footer? Thank you again.
Great to hear that it is working.
If you want to add another menu in the footer, you will need to define a new menu in the theme. Check the functions.php file in the framework directory, there is code to define menus, just copy the code and change the menu name.
Then you can call the menu in the footer.php file. Open header.php file, there you can see how the menu is being called. You can copy that code to the footer and change the menu name.
If you liked the theme and the support, can you please give 5 stars rating to the theme? I will highly appreciate that. You can login to your account on themeforest and rate the theme from your downloads page.
If you have more questions, or need further help please do not hesitate to ask me, I will be happy to help you.
I will allow myself to disturb you again There is still a problem – in the announcements of materials on the main page of the site is not always displayed the characters "...", pointing to the finalization of the announcement. How to fix it and if they can be replaced by, for example, read more, and link to go to view the full article?
Thank you again
Hi, I am interested in this awesome template. In my site, I want to integrate an additional Q&A section. I am using http://www.osqa.net/ for Q&A part. Would you please add a Q&A page layout with your template? I think, this will be beneficial for all of your present/future customers. Thanks
Thank you very much for your interest in my theme. I highly appreciate that. You can easily create the Q&A layout by copying the page template. If you will need any help regarding that, I will be happy to help you. If you have more questions, do not hesitate to ask
Thanks a lot wellthemes for your reply. I'll talk to my developers about it. I'll contact you if I need any additional help. Thanks again.
Sure, you are welcome
Hello! I love the template, but I'm having trouble working out some of the small elements that I saw on the demo site? 1. How do you get those small gray subtexts below the big grey letters in the menu? (As in "Photos" below the "Photography" menu) 2. Whenever I add photos on the site, whether it is a featured photo on the homepage or a photo in a post, the photos come out squished to fit the given size. How do I fix this so that the photos are displayed the way it's supposed to? 3. How do the yellow tags on the corner of the featured photos work? What are they representing—Categories? 4. Another small element – How did you get the house icon on to demo site's menu? Thank you!
Thank you very much for purchasing my theme. I will be happy to help you with all the issues but can you kindly post the questions using the same account you used to purchase the theme? It will help me to serve you better.
Hi again, I'm the one who asked about the elements on the demo site? Here are the questions again: 1. How do you get those small gray subtexts below the big grey letters in the menu? (As in "Photos" below the "Photography" menu) 2. Whenever I add photos on the site, whether it is a featured photo on the homepage or a photo in a post, the photos come out squished to fit the given size. How do I fix this so that the photos are displayed the way it's supposed to? 3. How do the yellow tags on the corner of the featured photos work? What are they representing—Categories? 4. Another small element – How did you get the house icon on to demo site's menu? Thank you!
Thank you for your message. Here are answers to your questions:
1. Please check the theme documentation file, there is detailed information on how to add the subtitles to the menu items.
2. When you upload the new images, they shoulw not be squished. They should be properly cropped. Are you uploading new images or using the previously uploaded images? If you are using previously uploaded images, then you can either upload the same image again, or use some plugin to resize those images.
3. Yes, those are the categories.
4. Here's how you can add the home icons to the menu: Go to menus page. You will see the 'Pages' section there. There click on the tab 'View All', and you will find the home link in that tab, add that to your menu and save. Here is the screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/EzlGOnR.png
If you have more questions or need further help, do not hesitate to ask, I will be happy to help you
Hi again, thanks for the reply. Just one more question: what do you mean by the theme documentation file? Thanks in advance!
And one more question ^^ I tried re-uploading the images but it only gets resized in the display preview of the article (The photos you see on the homepage). Could you tell me some easy plug-ins for resizing images that you've worked with for your theme?
When you download the theme package (wt_pacific_package.zip) from themeforest, there should be a folder 'documentation' in that zip file. You will find the documentation (help) file in that folder.
If you have lots of posts with the thumbnails already uploaded, you can use some plugin such as this one to regenerate the thumbnails (http://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)
If you liked the theme and the support, could you please give rate it 5 stars on themeforest? I will really appreciate that. You can rate it from your downloads page on themeforest.
If you have more questions or need further help, please do not hesitate to ask me, I will be happy to help you with that.
Hi Wellthemes,
Can you advice on why Im not getting the main menu to be display on the front end of my website? I can only see the top menu but not the main one with the home page icons. You can check the site Im mounting in www.coronadohotelpanama.com/web and here´s a screenshot of how the menu section is configured on the backend of the wordpress installation. http://www.coronadohotelpanama.com/data/chp_menu_printscreen.jpg
Thxs in advance.
Thank you very much for purchasing my theme. There's absolutely no any problem with the menu. Perhaps some of your jQuery plugin is causing the problem. Please disable all of your plugins and then try. It should work fine. If it still does not, let me know your URL and I will look further.
Hi wellthemes,
Thanks for your reply back. Actually, I have no plugins installed so far. This is just a fresh wordpress installation. You can check my website on http://www.coronadohotelpanama.com/web/ and if you want to check the backend send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to create you a temp user.
I think you have selected some category for the news scroller section and that category does not have any post in it. Either try to de-select the category, or try to add any post in that category and see if it works. If it still does not, then test by disabling that news scroll section (you can disable from options page). If it still does not work, let me know
Hi Wellthemes. You were right. If no category is selected, the main menu doesnt show up so I check disable the news scroller and the menu es now showing. Thanks.
Hi Wellthemes,
The theme menu is now working ok but now whenever I create a new post or view an existing one, the information inside the post shows duplicated. Do you have any ideas why this is happening?
Here is a link from one post inside the site:http://webztudio.com/demohotel/ron-abuelo-international-cup/
There should be absolutely no such issue. Can you zip your theme files (which you are actually using on your site), and send it to me by email (info at wellthemes.com). I will check it.
Hi again, One question about the Author's "About" section: How can I stop the Author's picture from growing smaller when the length of the "About" bio grows longer? When the author biography gets lengthy, the Author's picture isn't shown at all, like it's pushed off to the side. How do I fix this? Thank you
I have just updated the theme. The update will be available shortly, you can replace only the style.css file and it will fix that. If you have made changes in your style.css file, let me know and I will help you so that you do not lose your changes.
If you liked the theme and the support, can you please give 5 stars rating to the theme? I will really appreciate that. You can login to your account on themeforest and rate the theme from your downloads page.
If you have more questions or need further help, please do not hesitate to ask me. I will be happy to help.
What is the changelog of the update?
Please download the theme package, it contains the changelog file, there you can see the information about the files which have been modified.
Hi, If you look at my page, http://kaizenblack.com/bbcmag/mayjune-2013/, you'll see that DATE and AUTHOR show up just below the title. How can I remove that? I tried your options in the Options panel but that didn't work. This is a page and most likely shouldn't be treated as a post. Please help me determine how to remove this, thank you.
You can remove the meta from the pages easily. Here's how you can do that:
Open content-page.php file from main theme directory and look for the following line around line #28:
div class="entry-meta-wrap
Remove the whole div. It ends around line # 54. Save the file. It will remove the meta from the pages.
If you have more questions or need further help, please do not hesitate to ask. I will be glad to help you.
If you liked the theme and the support, could you please rate it 5 stars? I will really appreciate that. You can login to your account on themeforest and rate from your downloads page. Thanks.
Loving this theme! For some reason, my home/blog page is showing the same post twice under the slider. I looked on your original theme and it is where you are displaying "Naviglio grande, Milan" and "Spanish Steps in Rome". I just want to display different posts not the same side by side.
Many thanks.
I'm glad that you liked the the theme.
Those are two different sections, so if you want to use those sections, you should display different categories in them. Simply go to the theme options and select different categories (or you can display latest posts in one section, and some other category in other section).
If you have more questions or need further help, let me know.
If you liked the theme and the support, could you please rate it 5 stars? I will really appreciate that. You can login to your account on themeforest and rate from your downloads page. Thanks once again.
Thanks for your help but with the "Single Column Featured Categories Settings" I have the option "Enable Single Column Featured Cateogories" ticked. In the two drop down menus, I have it set as "none" so it will display the latest posts… It still shows the same post twice. In the drop down menu, there is only 2 options, both of which are categories and I want it to just display latest posts in both columns…
You can see on here: www.ziggi.com.au
Sure, if you set none, it will display latest posts. Since you have set none in both of the columns, it is displaying latest posts in both columns. So if you really want to keep it that way (ie. display latest posts in both columns), you can modify the second column theme file so that it skips the very first post because that will be being shown in the first column. If that's what you want to do, let me know and I will help you making the changes.
Meanwhile if you can rate the theme, I will really appreciate that. You can rate from your downloads page. Thanks
Yes please, I would like to have latest posts in both columns with the second most recent post in the right column…
I have already given you 5 stars ages ago, it is displaying them on my downloads page, can you not see it??
Thank you very much for rating. That's perfect. Could you drop me an email using the contact form on my profile so that I can reply to that and send you the modified files.

A fantastical gonzo Aztlan mythology, where modern Aztecs and immigrant ghosts uncover blood sacrifice in Los Angeles.
About the Author
Author of City Terrace Field Manual(Kaya Press, 1996), and Atomik Aztex (City Lights, 2005), Sesshu Foster teaches literature and composition in East L.A., where he grew up. His poetry has been published in numerous anthologies and journals. Invocation L.A.: Multicultural Urban Poetry, which he edited with Naomi Quinonez and Michelle Clinton, won a 1990 American Book Award.

"A womanizing, drunken, failed poet and recently fired drama critic, cantankerous Ted Wallace seeks refuge from his problems at the country estate of his old friend Logan, the site of mysterious incidents centering around Logan's enigmatic son, David."
Minutes before the Earth is scheduled for demolition, Arthur Dent is rescued by his friend Ford Prefect and finds himself traveling the galaxy, armed with only a towel and the ultimate guidebook. Also available on audio.
"...tells the story of Edith Hope, who writes romance novels under a pseudonym. When her life begins to resemble the plots of her own novels, however, Edith flees to Switzerland, where the quiet luxury of the Hotel du Lac promises to resore her to her senses. But instead of peace and rest, Edith finds herself sequestered at the hotel with an assortment of love's casualties and exiles. She also attracts the attention of a worldly man determined to release her unused capacity for mischief and pleasure."
"It is a time of calamity in a major metropolitan city's Department of Elevator Inspectors, and Lila Mae Watson, the first black female elevator inspector in the history of the department, is at the center of it. There are two warring factions within the department: the Empiricists, who work by the book and who dutifully check for striations on the winch cable and such; and the Intuitionists, who are simply able to enter the elevator cab in question, meditate, and intuit any defects.
"Lila Mae is an Intuitionist and, it just so happens, has the highest accuracy rate in the entire department. But when an elevator in a new city building goes into total freefall on Lila Mae's watch, chaos ensues. Sabotage is the obvious explanation: It's an election year in the Elevator Guild, and the good-old-boy Empiricists would love nothing more than to assign the blame to an Intuitionist, and a colored one at that. But Lila Mae is never wrong.
"The sudden appearance of excerpts from the lost notebooks of Intuitionism's founder, James Fulton, has also caused quite a stir. The notebooks describe Fulton's work on the 'black box,' a perfect elevator that could reinvent the city as radically as the first passenger elevator did when patented by Elisha Otis in the nineteenth century. When Lila Mae goes underground to investigate the crash, she becomes involved in the search for the portions of the notebooks that are still missing and uncovers a secret that will change her life forever."
"Three eccentric, secluded nuns live on a remote island, forgotten by time and the Church -- until a priest unwittingly happens upon them. He is as surprised to see the nuns as they are to see a flesh-and-blood man, and what follows is the strange, moving, and often hilarious story of their struggle -- a struggle of wills, and of faith."
"To be sure, Sundeen has never been to a bullfight. He doesn't speak Spanish. He's not even a particularly good reporter. Come to think of it, he's probably one of the least qualified people to write a book about bullfighting, even in the best of circumstances. But that doesn't stop Mark Sundeen.
"After squandering most of the book advance on back rent and debts, Sundeen can't afford a trip to Spain, so he settles for nearby Mexico. But the bullfighting he finds south of the border is tawdry and comical, and people seem much more interested in the concessions and sideshows. There's little of the passion and artistry and bravery that he'd hoped to employ in exhibiting his literary genius to the masses.
"To compensate for his own shortcomings as an author, Sundeen invents an alter ego, Travis LaFrance, a swashbuckling adventure writer, in the tradition of his idol, Ernest Hemingway. But as his research falters, his money runs out, and the deadline approaches, Sundeen's high-minded fantasies are skewered by his second-rate reality. Eventually, Travis LaFrance steps in to take control, and our narrator goes blundering through the landscape of his own dreams and delusions, propelled solely by a preposterous, quixotic, and ultimately heartbreaking insistence that his own life story, no matter how crummy, is worth being told in the pages of Great Literature."
"Chronicles with raw humor and great affection the comic misadventures of a large and lively North Dublin family in the 1960s."
Later made into the film, Agnes Brown--starring Angelica Huston.
"Hung over, beaten by the unforgiving sun, bitter at his estranged wife, and dreading the day's docket of petty criminal cases, Judge Evers Wheeling is in need of something on the morning he's accosted by Ruth Esther English. Ruth Esther's strange story certainly is something, and Judge Wheeling finds himself in uncharted territory. Reluctantly agreeing to help Ruth Esther retrieve some stolen money, he recruits his pot-addled brother and a band of merry hangers-on for the big adventure."
"Paul Auster's great trilogy of 1985–1986 broke ground in its mix of serious fictional techniques and detective and mystery genres. Since that time it has become one of the most successful series of novels of the last decades..."
In the first of the trilogy, City of Glass, a detective novelist makes a phone call and finds himself enmeshed in suddenly puzzling reality.

The perfect sports car by Heather from Jacksonville, FL on 05/04/2006. Trim: 2003 BMW M3 Coupe, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Awesome performance, head turning styling, safe.
Cons: Upgraded sound system could be a little better.
Overall review: It is hard to find faults with this car. It is impossible to find another sports car at this level with a functional backseat.
Review ID: #491361 Is this review offensive?
A sequential gearbox worth driving, with a solid power plant behind it by Matt, Los Angeles on 02/19/2006. Trim: 2003 BMW M3 Convertible, Owned 3 years.
Pros: Crisp handling, plenty of power, exceptional road surface translation (in case you want to feel the road). Excellent software behind the Sequential Manual Gearbox allows precise control of each shift – 'closer to the road' and twice as fast as Ferrari's F1 gearbox. The straight-six has a nice torque curve – responsive at low revs, doesn't fade harshly up high. Add the available toys (Bluetooth, DVD Nav, etc.) and you've got a vehicle that's comfortable enough to use for normal driving, but sporty enough to be fun. Of course, safety features galore, and high dependability. Having routine maintenance, and pretty much *everything* included in the purchase price is a nice bonus too.
Cons: US buyers: The top speed, and the specs of an SMG feature called Launch Control are more severely limited (electronically) in the US model than in the Euro model. I understand this, since Germans employs the rare practice of only granting licenses to people who know how to drive. But if you are considering an E46 M3 for dual road/track use, be aware that you'll need a firmware change. Minor annoyance: Though the car remembers your control settings, it doesn't remember the most aggressive settings, and defaults to a profile a couple notches down. Though it becomes as habitual as the seatbelt, it is annoying to have to press the same three buttons every time you start the car.
Overall review: IMHO, two things elevate this model over its predecessor: The addition of the 333HP E46 engine, and the availability of BMW's second-generation Formula-1 style sequential gearbox – SMG II. SMG: A real 6-speed - even die-hard clutch lovers should consider: * If you're on it hard, the SMG performs gear changes in 80 milliseconds (less than 1/12 of a second); twice as fast as Ferrari's. * Though not immediately obvious, subtle changes to the accelerator result in noticeable and controllable changes in the shift profile, providing tremendous control over every gear change. * Software features: Launch Control, Burn Out Mode, and even the more practical Gradient Assist (think Subaru's "hill holder"), are nice features to have. * There's a *reason* Formula-1 cars use this type of transmission. My favorite spec: Gear ratios. She'll do 65+MPH in 2nd gear and 105+ in 3rd without touching the 8K redline – A single 80 millisecond shift between start and 70-ish has many benefits.

Going Machine by Duckman on 12/11/2003. Trim: 2003 BMW M3 Coupe, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: If looks could kill. Don't you know it's rude to stare? Plush leather interior. Handling in the curves. Enough legroom upfront for a lapdance.
Cons: I-6 too high strung (like my girl), needs a V-8. Everyone, and I mean everyone wants to race.
Overall review: Mean machine. Needs a V-8. Note to BMW - keep Bangle away.

M3 Power! by Mike from STL on 07/24/2003. Trim: 2003 BMW M3 Coupe, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Super quick with excellent handling! This is a drivers car.
Cons: Navigation system can be difficult to use and not up to Lexus standards.
Overall review: This is my first BMW and I am just wondering why it took me so long to discover the M3.

Ultimate doesn't do it justice, It's more than that!!! by Bill on 04/02/2003. Trim: 2003 BMW M3 Coupe, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: The hottest car on the road. With the SMG and in the most agressive mode the shifting with out lifting your foot from the pedal is the most amazing experience in driving. I have owned 2 other BMW's both manuals one 5 speed ('97 328i) and one six speed (00' 540i) but this is the quickest and most exhilerating machine I have ever driven including a '97 Viper and 2003 corvette Z06.
Cons: I need to sleep so I can't drive my M3 all the time
Overall review: The Best Driver's machine under $150,000 I did the performance delivery in SC that in and of itself was a great experience especially driving their M3 on the track

I recruited my roommate and he installed the game and stuff while I was at work. He was level 11 before I found out he was playing on a different server and a different faction. Since it took him so long to get to 11 I couldn't convince him to reroll a hordie on mine. Now he's in his 60's and wished he had rerolled but since he's put in so much time he still won't abandon the character to reroll. *sigh

He survived the unthinkable, and now a Portland man is fighting for his life in a Texas hospital.
Five people were killed near Amarillo, Texas, on Monday night, when a car ran a stop sign and was hit by a tractor-trailer on the passenger side, investigators said. The load being pulled by the semi came off the trailer and landed on top of the driver's side of the car, they added.
The crash killed Clinton Diaz, 20; Eric Harrison, 21; Amanda Starz, 20; Andrew Duncan, 20; and Julian Arredondo, 24, investigators said.
The lone survivor in the car was Timothy Johnson, 30, of Portland. He suffered critical injuries, investigators said.
As of Thursday night, Johnson remained in the intensive care unit at Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo. His boyfriend told FOX 12 that he broke his neck in three places during the crash, and has a long recovery ahead of him.
Johnson grew up in Houston, Texas, and moved to Portland several years ago, friends said. He's a dancer, choreographer, teacher and actor.
To watch him perform on stage is like watching a master at work, friends said. It's been his passion since he was 6 years old.
"It's like seeing someone speak their first language," said friend Erin Shannon. "I've never known anyone who's lived to dance as much as Tim does. It's his entire life."
Johnson and the five other people in the car had attended an end-of-summer cast party for a musical drama called "Texas" just before the crash occurred, investigators said. "Texas" is a historical tale with fictional characters that tells the story of the Texas panhandle in the late 1800s, the show's executive director told FOX 12. Johnson was an actor and dance captain for the production this past season, he said. He's been a member for several years. "He has no idea what's happening and when he wakes up and realizes that 'Oh my goodness, this all happened and I've lost 5 other members of the cast', it's gonna hit him hard," said friend Elizabeth "Biz" Erickson. The local friends Johnson has made through various theater companies, schools and productions are now banding together hundreds of miles away from where he's recovering from his injuries, to offer their love and support. "Thinking about the possibility of him not being able to dance is just really sad," said friend Robert Head. Johnson's friends don't know what his prognosis will be. But those who know him personally are now gathering cards, pictures and notes of encouragement to add to a care package that will be sent to him next week, they said. "I think all of us want him to know how much we care about him and how much we're gonna support him no matter what happens. No matter what his prognosis is," said friend Megan Misslin.
Since they can't be by Johnson's side, it's their way of showing him how much they care.
"We're all being positive for his sake," Misslin said.
Johnson's friends are also trying to set-up a fund and organize a benefit in October to help him with medical expenses. Updates on those efforts can be found by clicking the related Facebook link.
Investigators haven't determined if alcohol was a factor in the crash, they said. Alcoholic beverage containers were found in the car after the crash, they added.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, Theron McSay, suffered head lacerations, but is expected to be okay, investigators said.

Your chances to quit depend on how strongly you are addicted to Nicotine, how much you want to quit, and how closely you follow a quitting program. The patch combined with the new Smoke-Free Support Program is a powerful way to help you quit smoking for good.

Pat Robertson is evergreen blog fodder, because when I am struggling with finding something to write about, I know I can count on him to have said something that will make us LOL and give us a taste of the profound ignorance that resides between his ears. According to a clip of him from the 700 Club, the reason that the left supports funding for Planned Parenthood is because of our "culture of death." Our "culture of death" allows women to lesbians which puts women on a level playing field. Hey, I can't make this shit up.
What Patty is trying to saying but not able to articulate is that being a woman means you have to be a baby farm and so when you are not living up to your biologically predetermined role as a womb–you are obviously a lesbian. I appreciate how powerful he thinks being a lesbian is (I mean hey, there are some pretty damn powerful lesbians out there), but sadly, we have learned it is going to take a lot more than that to convince the right that our god given destiny is not to sit home pregnant with no recourse.

Tweebuffelsmeteenskootmorsdoodgeskietfontein is a farm in the North West province of South Africa, located about 200 km west of Pretoria and 20 km east of Lichtenburg[1]Coordinates: 26°10′S 26°28′E / 26.167°S 26.467°E whose 44-character name has entered South African folklore. The name was used as the title for an Afrikaans lyric written by Fanus Rautenbach (af)[2][3] and performed by Anton Goosen.
The name, which follows a common format for place names in South Africa, is Afrikaans for "The spring where two buffaloes were cleanly killed with a single shot". The literal translation is "Twee buffels" = "Two buffaloes", "met een skoot" = "with one shot"; "morsdood" = "stone dead"; "geskiet" = "shot"; "fontein" = "spring (river source)" or "fountain". This name illustrates the compounding nature of Afrikaans.[4] All the descriptive terms relating to one concept can generally be tied together into one long word. Another example of this would be wildewaatlemoenkonfytkompetisiebeoordelaarshandleiding, which translates to "wild watermelon jam competition judge's manual". Such use is, however, not common, and such words are often separated using one or more hyphens if they become too long or unwieldy.
The farm was originally granted to A.P. de Nysschen in 1866 by the government of the South African Republic; it is referred to in the survey diagram as "Twee Buffels Geschiet" (Two buffaloes shot) and shown as having an area of 6119 morgen and 429 square roods (5241.7 hectares).[5] Official maps published by National Geo-spatial Information refer to it as "Tweebuffels" (Two buffaloes).[6]
The name has also been used in advertising to signify the typical small rural town.[citation needed]

As disastrous as it was, the 2011 season for the Dallas Cowboys could have been worse. With all the media attention going on about how the 'Boys can't win the big games, and how Tony Romo can't be the leader that the team needs, Dallas couldn't afford more distractions and relive old bad memories of the Cowboys history. By old memories I am talking about our glory days being shot down by star players of the team being arrested for drug charges.
I remember being young and hearing jokes from Cowboys haters about the Chicago Bears having a "Fridge" (William Perry) and the Dallas Cowboys having a "Coke Machine" (Michael Irvin). Nate Newton was another star for the Cowboys that had multiple drug charges. For a good chunk of years whenever drugs and the NFL were brought up it seemed like everyone thought of the Dallas Cowboys. I recall Jay Leno making jokes on his show about Dallas Cowboys players coming to practice while being on house arrest and referees at Cowboys games given handcuffs instead of flags. That was a bad time for Cowboys fans all over the country and was a disgrace for Americas Team.
I do believe Jerry Jones raised the bar as far as work ethnics and lifestyles for future players on the team. A prime example of that would be Randy Moss. The Cowboys were going to draft Randy Moss in 1998 but because of an incident that occurred in college he was placed on probation and tested positive for marijuana. Moss served a 60 day sentence for his violation and although it was 2 years before the draft, Jerry Jones couldn't risk putting another cloud of smoke in the locker room. Jerry Jones may regret not drafting Moss but at least the organization has tightened up and drugs and Dallas Cowboys are not in the same sentence anymore.
All the forgotten memories were very close to being relived in "Big D". Last year the Dallas Cowboys were trying to set up a new contract with WR Sam Hurd but he ended up in Chicago along with Roy Williams and Marion Barber. Hurd didn't take long in Chicago before getting caught trying to purchase large amounts of various drugs that in such would have made Irvin and Newton's charges look like traffic violations. Hurd was released by the Bears after his arrest and is currently waiting for his trial, but there are reports that Hurd has a cousin trying to make purchases for him in which got him arrested as well. I am not a judge or a juror but it is obvious that Sam Hurd is choosing the wrong paths in his life.
It may not have seemed that big of a deal back in December when Hurd was arrested, but if he didn't move to Chicago this whole incident would have been another slap in the face for the Cowboys. The way the media likes to poke at the Cowboys this would have opened a door to the past and given the team another big distraction. Distractions are one thing the Cowboys need less of. So now it becomes obvious, not signing Sam Hurd was by far the best move the Dallas Cowboys made in 2011.

Matt's Not Afraid of Typecasting
Being a Time Lord you can forgive Matt Smith for looking into the future-Yes his time as the Doctor maybe finite but he sees no reason why the role will hinder his career when he decides to vacate the TARDIS.
Speaking to The Daily Record Matt Smith believes that he shouldn't be hampered by typecasting:
"I don't think good actors get typecast. In ten years' time I'll be playing very different parts than I am playing now. So there is plenty of time for me to evolve as an actor."
Matt's not the only thing that's evolving- the role of the Doctor (of which there's nothing else like out there) has changed during Matt's tenure:
"I can never relax because I'm always pushing myself to the highest level but it's nice to enjoy the fact people have accepted me as The Doctor and enjoy the things I do."
Its clear looking back to Matt's first appearance in the TARDIS to the flaying arm conclusion of Night Terrors that Matt has changed; he's managed to capture that wonderous glint and mischievous smile of the Doctor and the weariness of a near a thousand year-old man.
Long may he continue to evolve.
One Response to Matt's Not Afraid of Typecasting
He'd already captured the "old man in a young man's body" very early on in his first season and yeah, it's become more pronounced as time's gone on. Many, including me, in the past have been wary of having too young an actor in the part but only with Smith do we finally see what a young actor can really bring to the role. Davison and Tennant each did a fine job but Smith really does take it to another level. A unique performance and man, we are lucky to have him.
Whoever replaces him, I think we're now at the point where preconceived notions of age are no longer a worry about the part for future incarnations.

'My stories replay the soundtrack of my life' – The Undercover Soundtrack, Brendan Gisby

My guest this week had never realised his fiction was so closely tied to music, nor how much that meant it reflected the landmarks of his own life. Through significant songs he has peeled back the years to channel aspects of his family and upbringing, to flesh out the characters in his short stories and novels. He is McStorytellers founder Brendan Gisby and he's on the Red Blog sharing his Undercover Soundtrack

All-star decisions could have big impact on RSL
The Salt Lake Tribune

The Major League Soccer All-Star Game is meant to be a celebration of the top players from the first-half of the season, in addition to being a chance for the league's best to compete against one of the best international clubs in the world.
But could it become an instrument in the race for the Supporters Shield, too?
Coach Jason Kreis said he would be "scratching his head about what to do" if RSL's Javier Morales and Jamison Olave wind up playing 90 minutes in the MLS All-Star Game against Manchester United in Houston next week, because RSL has a league game against D.C. United three days later that it cannot afford to lose while it pursues the Los Angeles Galaxy for the best record in the league.
And guess who will decide whether Morales and Olave play the whole game.
None other than Galaxy coach Bruce Arena, who's coaching the MLS All-Stars and whose own all-stars are not likely to get much run against the Reds after playing a CONCACAF Champions League game for the Galaxy the night before the All-Star Game.
Allowing rival players to run ragged in the heat and humidity in an attempt to wear them down and weaken their club team certainly would be a fascinating strategy to gain an edge, and perhaps would set a standard for ruthlessness. But Arena is not exactly known as an old softie, nor do he and Kreis enjoy the tenderest of relationships.
In other words, you never know.
The Galaxy already own a nine-point lead on RSL atop the MLS Western Conference standings (though RSL has a game in hand), which might already be enough for them to survive at the top until the end of the season. But if RSL were to drop three points at home to the worst team in the league because two of its best players were gassed?
That might just prove to be the result that settles it.
