Quite often, especially in X11-related things (X resources, Roxterm themes, etc) I see colours specified as 48-bit numbers:
#cccc00000000 instead of the usual 24-bit
#2e3436 and
#cc0000. What are the extra bits used for?
I can't speak to X11's use of them, but generally: additional color values which cannot be produced at lesser bit depths and alpha channels.
From the examples you give they are not being used at all since the 24 bit value is simply being repeated (a bit like the practice of using only 3 hex characters to represent "websafe" colours so #c00 means the same as #cc0000 or 204,0,0, extended to #cccc00000000).
32-bit values would usually use the last byte for alpha channel (transparency). I guess it's possible that the 48-bit values are using 24-bit colours with an independent alpha per colour, but the examples you give don't support this.
I found the answer in Xlib documentation under "Color strings". It seems that Xlib actually uses 16 bit RGB values for colors:

Doctors are urging people to get flu vaccinations before the
Easter holidays.
The flu virus could be spread by people getting together
during the school holidays, the National Influenza Specialist
Group (NISG) has warned.
Virus expert and NISG spokesman Dr Lance Jennings said it was
important people were immunised before the school holidays.
Dr Jennings said the A(H1N1) virus strain was increasing in
Queensland - a popular destination for families at this time
of year.
"This particular virus can lead to serious complications for
younger, previously healthy people, but the good news is it
is covered by the 2014 vaccine," he said.
The 2014 seasonal influenza vaccines for New Zealand include
two new World Health Organisation-recommended strains based
on those most likely to spread and cause illness in people
this season.
The flu vaccine is free for New Zealanders over 65, anyone
with long-term health conditions, pregnant women and children
aged 6 months to 5 years with respiratory problems.

yes that works ,but "myvalue" is only what you set it to. How do you get myvalue to be whatever the user inputs? Like if it was in a loop and said enter length of one side of square:, whatever was...

Seriously, no one has any ideas? Does anyone even know if its possible?

text: In a St. Joseph Health Scene Report, dental implants require much more follow-up treatment than root canals according to a new study. Researchers found an implant can require three or more visits over the course of several months. The findings suggest that every effort should be made to preserve natural teeth before considering implants.

Woocommerce create "product" posts. These are assigned categories under the product_cat taxonomy.
I want users to navigate between products in the same category with previous/next links. This works fine, but it is ordered by the post ID number.

Program Theory-Driven Evaluation Science: Strategies and Applicationsby Stewart I. Donaldson, Donaldson

Program Theory-Driven Evaluation Science fills the gap between 21st century literature on evaluation and what is happening in practice. It features detailed examples of how evaluations actually unfold in practice to develop people, programs, and organizations. Commonly accepted strategies for practicing evaluation are outlined, followed by comprehensive accounts of how those strategies have played out in the face of the complexities and challenges of "real world" settings. In so doing, the book illustrates the authentic challenges of implementing an evaluation approach in practice.
Author Stewart Donaldson provides a state-of-the-art treatment of the practice of program theory-driven evaluation science. Each case follows a three-step model: developing program impact theory; formulating and prioritizing evaluation questions; and answering evaluation questions. Initial chapters discuss the emergence of program theory-driven evaluation science and specific strategies for carrying out each of the three steps. Succeeding chapters address recent applications and practical implications of evaluation science. The challenges and lessons learned from the cases are then reviewed.
This volume is of significant value to evaluation practitioners, professors and trainers of evaluation, evaluation researchers, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and serves as a text for courses in evaluation and applied research methods. It is also of great interest to those interested in the connections between work and health, career development, human service organizations, and organizational improvement and effectiveness.

Ubuntu Server Survey 2010 Results
Ubuntu maker Canonical issued a survey on Ubuntu servers to the community and is now releasing the results.
Gerry Carr, Canonical's head of platform marketing, announced the survey in his blog. At the end of 2009, nearly 3,000 in the Ubuntu community sent back responses to it.
A short version of the Ubuntu Server Survey 2010 results is downloadable as PDF. A more extensive version for internal use and Ubuntu partners is also available.
The public report makes clear that Ubuntu server users prefer the Long Term Support (LTS) versions over any other. About two-thirds of the respondents alone used Ubuntu Server Edition 8.04 LTS, with the newer non-LTS versions gaining in popularity, perhaps as a consequence. The newest 9.10 LTS version came out April of 2008. Canonical also focused part of its questions on interest in cloud computing, which got some recognition through the Ubuntu 9.10 Enterprise Cloud (UEC) based on the free Eucalyptus cloud management framework. 54% of the respondents admitted to using the cloud in some form.

Beck Teams with Jack White's Third Man Records for New Single
Share the post "Beck Teams with Jack White's Third Man Records for New Single"
Alternative rocker Beck is set to release a one-off single via Jack White's Third Man Records
Beck is back, and the alternative rock icon is set to release his latest single via Jack White's Third Man Records label on May 28, according to Rolling Stone. The 7-inch — titled "I Just Started Hating Some People Today" on the A side and "Blue Randy" on the backside — will come packaged as a one-off single. Beck recorded both tracks last year at White's personal studio in Nashville while Beck was in the process of working on his new full-length.
In Third Man Records tradition, a small collection of colored vinyl editions of the single will also be available. One hundred tri-color versions of the 7-inch will be available exclusively at Randy's Records in Salt Lake City on June 2, and an additional color pressing will sprinkled in mail order copies purchased directly from Third Man. A digital version of the song will be up on the iTunes store.
This may be the perfect hold-over for fans that have been patiently waiting for Beck's new album to drop. Beck hasn't released any details on when he plans to release the new album, which will be the follow-up to his successful 2008 release, "Modern Guilt." Beck also played his first show of 2012 earlier this week at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, but held off on playing any new material, keeping fans in suspense.

Inter RAO Baltic Unit Jumps on First Day of Warsaw Trade
Inter RAO Lietuva AB, a Baltic unit of Russia's state-controlled utility OAO Inter RAO UES, jumped on its first day of trading in Warsaw, becoming the third Lithuanian company listed on the Polish equity market.
The stock rose 6.5 percent to 25.75 zloty at the close in Warsaw, valuing the Vilnius-based company at 515 million zloty ($167 million). The company this month sold 23.4 million euros ($31 million) of shares in an initial public offering at 5.85 euros, or 24.17 zloty per share.
Inter RAO Lietuva is the 51st foreign company on the Warsaw exchange, attracted by central Europe's biggest pool of pension and mutual funds. Lithuania's Avia Solutions Group AB and Agrowill Group also trade on the bourse in neighboring Poland.
The company now mainly sells electricity from Russia to customers in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Belarus. It's seeking clients in central Europe's biggest country as it awaits a power link between Lithuania and Poland which is due to start in late 2015.
"We want to gradually expand on the Polish market and create possibilities to export power," Jonas Garbaravicius, chairman of its supervisory board, said in Warsaw today.
Its majority owner, Inter RAO, owns a 900-megawatt gas-fired power plant in the Kaliningrad region and can sell abroad, said Anton Nazarov, the Russian company's spokesman.
Inter RAO Lietuva, which generates 30 megawatt of renewable energy, considers buying wind farms in Poland as the country is preparing new regulations to support renewable energy projects.
"Under the current legislation we don't see projects which meet our 10 percent rate of return condition, but we will wait," Garbaravicius said.
The power trader paid its owners 64 million litai ($24 million) of dividends from 2011 net income of 61.2 million litai, according to its website. Sales jumped to 919 million litai last year from 750 million litai in 2010.

Bars & Pubs
The best places to drink in Sydney
The best bars in Sydney
We scoured the city to find the best drinks, greatest chat, most perfectly crafted playlists, tastiest snacks and top vibes to be had in Sydney. We put our livers and our sleep patterns on the line to bring you, dear reader, a comprehensive guide to the best bars in town.
Battle of the Burger 2016
Sydney is a burger town and we know what it takes to make an A-grade beef burger. In the past year we've seen a slew of fresh-faced newcomers entering the fray to challenge long-time stalwarts for the burger crown, and we've seen contenders cross state borders to get in on the action. But who do you think has the best burger game in town? Tell us who is killing it on the grill, getting their pickle ratios just right, mastering the condiment conundrum (mayo? ketchup? mustard? aioli? relish?) and toasting their buns to perfection. Doesn't matter if it's from a café, truck stop, high-end restaurant, low key diner, food truck, pub or bar - if you're loving it we want to hear about it. The best of the bunch will then be battling it out at Time Out's ultimate burger shakedown, the Battle of the Burger, presented in partnership with Tooth's Pale Ale. You can grab tickets to this beef patty rumble and sample the finalists for yourself, raise a glass to the joys of a hot sandwich and vote to see who goes home victorious. Who do you want to see in the final? Tell us below. Voting closes Monday, July 18 so get moving! Email: Who has the best beef burger in town? Vote now! Note: By voting you agree to receive relevant communications from Time Out including news, events, offers and competitions. You are free to unsubscribe at any time.
The best pubs with fireplaces in Sydney
When the mercury drops and the weather turns foul the best place to be is curled up by an open fire - preferably wood, but we'll take gas if that's what's on offer - with a pint of beer, a counter meal and maybe a deck of cards. This way you can lose whole evenings in the comfort of your local and stay warm and dry all winter long.
Late night venues without a lockout
Sydney, the lock-out laws are now in place: no entering a venue in the designated CBD and Kings Cross areas after 1.30am and no booze after 3am. But outside those areas there are plenty of late-night options in town to keep your evening rolling along. Here are our picks.
Sydney's best new bars and pubs
The Local Taphouse
Craft beer and crowd-pleasing eats keep packing 'em in at this beloved local
The Noble Hops
Redfern has added a little craft beer saloon to the mix, because they love you and want you to be happy.
Harvest Bar
Pop in for pinot at the Majestic's little alcove bar
Why has it taken so long for a cocktail bar this good to open at this end of town?
Sydney's finest
Sydney craft beer guide
Thanks to the boutique brewing boom, local watering holes are boasting seasonal brews on tap, craft breweries are opening up all over Sydney, and we have two annual festivals dedicated to all things craft beer. Here's where to get in on the sudsy fun.
The best underground bars in Sydney
The best pick up bars in Sydney
The best beer gardens in Sydney
The best pubs with fireplaces in Sydney
Bar crawls in Sydney by area
Surry Hills
Some of the best drinking dens in the city are clustered inside the 2010 postcode, which means a sip trip around Surry Hills involves a whole lot more excellent cocktails, biodynamic wines and craft brews with a whole lot less trekking between venues.
Pubs in Balmain
Balmain is one of the most pub-dense suburbs in Sydney, thanks to its proud working class history as a working wharf and the place where the Australian Labor Party got their start. But times have changed and Balmain is now a well-heeled neck of the woods and many corner boozers have become homes and boutiques. However there are plenty of watering holes left for when you have a thirst that only a well-poured beer can quench, and these are our top picks.
The CBD
There was a dark time, not so many years ago, when after work drinks were limited to huge booze barns with no soul and pubs. Those were your options. Fast forward less than a decade and the CBD now possesses an exceptional collection of bars, from underground tropical hideaways to booze attics with cocktail maestros at the helm. You can drink life-changing wines, the freshest ales and fruity elixirs made from seasonal harvests, and sometimes you can do it all in the same place. It's a big part of what makes Sydney awesome.
Inner West
Not only is the Inner West home to many of the eccentric, creative and proudly rainbow tribes of Sydney, it's also where you'll find some of the best small bar action. Tiny little haunts slinging great drinks and keeping the vibes lively and local. If you don't have one already, your home-away-from-home is probably on this list.
Based on Instagram posts alone, you'd be forgiven for thinking Bondi was only about sunrise yoga, surfing and high intensity cardio session. But this beachfront 'burb also possesses an ace collection of bars for when the old exercise you want to be doing is bending the elbow.
A bar crawl in Newtown is the ultimate pick'n'mix for a parched Sydneysider. It's also great for anyone who would like the minimum travel time necessary between venues. Newtown's bars are all conveniently spaced along King Street and Enmore Road like some sort of boozy daisy chain, which means you can go from dog-friendly brewery bars to moody cocktail dens, neighbourhood wine bars, indie boltholes and rock-n-roll burger bars in no time at all. To make it even easier we've mapped out the best way to cram in all of Newtown's best bars in one hit.
The best bar snacks in the business
The best schnitzels in Sydney
Crumbed chicken breast or veal hammered out flat might sound like an incredibly simple dish, but there is an art to getting schnitzel right. The shell needs to be well-seasoned and to stick to the meat instead of falling off like an ill-fitting jacket. The meat needs to be cooked through but remain tender and juicy. And the quality of your sauce is a linchpin to the whole enterprise - good gravy is everything. We ate a lot of schnitzel to bring you this list – may our stomachs and waistbands have mercy on us.
The best pub pies in Sydney
A proper pub pie is a thing of beauty. It's the heart-warming pastry pocket that goes a treat with a freshly poured ale, and if you can eat it in front of an open fire, you've got yourself the ultimate winter hat-trick.
The best places for cheese and wine in Sydney
The Sydney venues for days when all you want to do is graze on a luxurious cheeseboard and put a solid dent in a bottle of wine while you catch up on the last few years, days or minutes of someone's life and discuss the age old question: washed rind vs hard cheese.
$10 steaks in Sydney
There's no tastier way to replenish your iron stores than with a juicy steak, and no cheaper way than with these steaks for ten bucks or less.
The best bar snacks in Sydney
As the line between restaurant and bar becomes increasingly blurry, it's now possible to make a whole meal out of the excellent bar snacks flying over the counter at our favourite haunts. These are the places we head when we're not sure if drinks is going to turn into dinner, but we want to keep our options open.
You're loving
Bulletin Place
Just fling your credit card over the bar and yell 'have at it'. The cocktails are that good
Dead Ringer
Surry Hills' suave new bar is finally here, and as a reward for your patience they've brought five star drinks and eats with them
The Welcome Hotel
Counter meals with an Italian accent take pub food to great new heights
The Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel
Order all six Lord Nelson micro-brews and create your own tasting party at this heritage hotel

Rye July at the Glenmore Hotel
While some people are doing Dry July, the Glenmore is offering a month of whisky appreciation designed to take the edge off the cold weather and help educate punters in the fine art of the distilled grain. A special whisky menu will be available throughout Rye July, culminating in a ticketed Night of Whiskies on Thursday July 14, where the Glenmore's cosy middle level becomes whisky central with tastings, meet the makers, cocktail master classes and canapés matched with whiskies. (But before we go any further – yes, we're aware that there's two spellings for whisk(e)y – whisky if you're talking Scotland and Canada, whiskey if it's Ireland or the USA. For simplicity's sake we'll go with whisky here! Inconsistent spelling is just one of the interesting whisky facts you might pick up during July at the Glenmore.) Night of Whiskies will see the Club Room transformed into a Johnnie Walker haven. National Johnnie Walker and Classic Malt ambassador, Sean Baxter (a MasterChef alumnus, BTW), will take guests through premium tastings and share his whisky tips. If you've ever wanted to know how to make a whisky cocktail at home then Diageo's Tim Oughton will host cocktail master classes in the Drawing Room. Each room will have an old fashioned rye pre-batch in barrels available throughout the month also. Tickets to the Night of Whiskies are $55 including a tasting glass, five tokens, cocktail master class and canapes on arrival.
The best tailors in Sydney
There are seemingly limitless options in menswear today, thanks in no small part to fast fashion and e-commerce. Still, there's nothing like a garment perfectly fitted to the individual's body and reflective of their personal style, like a bespoke or tailored suit for special occasions, dinners, and meetings (or just for fun). Thankfully, a handful of tailors in Sydney still practice their time-honoured craft, while a number of businesses offer high-quality bespoke suits for the maximum in comfort and refinement for men of exacting standards.
A Long Lunch with Moo Brew and Moorilla Wines
The Sackville Hotel is hosting a long winter lunch matched with the taste of Tassie, care of three craft brews from Moo Brew and three wines from Moorilla Wines. The lunch is priced at $60 a head, and includes roasted beets with baby watercress and feta as a starter, followed by salt and pepper bugs with kimchi cucumbers and wasabi mayo. Your main will star a grass-fed beef tenderloin with seasonal vegetable sides and for dessert a chocolate fudge brownie should take care of any lingering sugar cravings. This lunchtime bounty will be accompanied by a pilsner, hefeweizen and dark ale from Moo Brew, alongside a sparkling riesling, sauvignon blanc and a pinot noir from Moorilla. This is the sort of event it pays to arrive hungry for, and with four courses and matched beverages included in the ticket price, it's also great value for an indulgent afternoon.

This plugin is simply not built for a well trafficked site, as we are finding out.
I don't think that's a fair criticism, the plugin has successfully scaled to over several hundred viewers with use of a Meteor server. AJAX updating just doesn't scale, but that's not the fault of the plugin - you'll need to use push technology to scale, which is what Meteor is there for.
Are you using Meteor, or the default updating mode?
Fair enough, then it needs to be said that it can't be used under heavy traffic without a massive amount of backend overhead.
No disrespect, it's an extensive plugin and from one coder to another I don't want to start some sort of flame war, I do have a couple of questions.
Does it list anywhere that Meteor is necessary for higher load?
Also, just curious, why did you code it using taxonomy rather than using the post_parent column in the posts table?
Also, why the two postmeta keys liveblog and liveblog_active?
I would like suggest to the author another way to reduce memory consumption on the server:
To save the micro posts of the live blogging, the application could use "mini .xml file" (residing in own server folder) instead of the database table wp_posts.
The plugin will import the content of these "mini .xml files" into the table wp_posts (each micro post on his article), only when the Live Blogging will be closed to further updates.
This workaround reduce the database query and memory consumption. And also improve the plugin integration with others application hooks.
Cheers, :-)
msteel: It says Meteor is necessary for "professional bloggers" and that it reduces server load in the FAQ. It was originally only ever Meteor only for exactly that reason, but AJAX was the single most requested feature, which is why it was added in 2.0.
I can't recall the exact reason I used a taxonomy rather than post_parent, but it's likely that I didn't know about post_parent when I first wrote the plugin (which was a number of years ago now). The two postmeta keys are to indicate whether or not a post is a liveblog, and whether or not it's still active (if it's not active, the auto-loading code doesn't get loaded for dead posts, and it doesn't appear as an active liveblog in the admin interface)
zhenya: Those are valid suggestions, but I deliberately wrote 2.0 to do things the "WordPress way", so I could take advantage of the admin interface, other plugins, etc...
How much traffic are you getting? Using polling, I ran a test with 250,000 unique visitors over three hours and saw less than a 10 percent server load.
1) Use nginx.
2) Use caching for anything that isn't live.
3) Change the jQuery post request to a get request.
function live_blogging_poll(id)
url: live_blogging.ajaxurl,
cache: false,
type: 'get',
data: { action: 'live_blogging_poll', liveblog_id: id },
success: function(entries) {
for (entry in entries)
error: function(xhr,textStatus){
datatype: 'json'
setTimeout(function(){live_blogging_poll(id)}, 60000)
Good point, that POST should really be a GET.
@yurivictor I'm curious about your setup. I'm running nginx for my server. Are using Meteor and if so, what does your conf file look like?
@midwestkel I'm not using Meteor. I use the polling option.

Ken Liebeskind over at Clickz.com is reporting that CNN.com is testing longer in-stream video ads. On inauguration day, a 60 second ad for Starbucks appeared in a video featuring President Obama's speech.
It should be interesting to see the results of the test, especially for a news organization. The inauguration wasn't exclusive to CNN. About the only thing I'll wait for is an in-stream ad while I'm watching a TV show online. And that usually only happens on the rare occasion when I'm trying to record too many shows at the same time on my DVR, which can only handle two tuners at a given time.
But how should the results be interpreted? It's hard to imagine that a longer ad would increase conversions, but many advertisers might use in-stream ads as branding anyway, especially since that's what television advertising (the "other" video advertising) is primarily used for.
CNN is in prime place to conduct this testing. Last spring, they led the field in news video searches, beating Google (and YouTube), MSNBC, Yahoo and MSN.com.

"Wild West Cow Town and Birthplace of Eisenhower" Top 5 Page for this destination Abilene by atufft
Abilene Travel Guide: 84 reviews and 196 photos
Abilene literally began in 1857 as an Overland and Butterfield stage coach stop at the end of the Smokey Hill Trail, which was created as a direct route to Colorado (in contrast to the Southern Santa Fe, and Northern Oregon trails) and today it remains a pit stop along I-70 for those traveling east and west. Timothy and Eliza Hershey built the stage coach stop home there and gave the place the Biblical name Abilene or "city of the plains". The town expanded more quickly when Joseph McCoy located stockyards there, creating the original wild west "cow town" as it marked the end of the long horn cattle driving trail from Texasl. From 1867 to 1872, some three million head of cattle were driven along the Chisholm Trail from Texas to Abilene, and then shipped by rail to eastern markets via the even larger rail center and Missouri River port at Kansas City. Wealth generated by the cattle industry stockyards and Abilene's long standing status as the western end of the railroad resulted in a commercial core of brick buildings surrounded by substantial neighborhoods of opulent homes. Abilene was for awhile the domaine of sheriff Wild Bill Hickok, who is memorialized by numerous statues further west at the town of Hays.
Like many Kansas towns, Abilene has its share of native sons and daughters who left home to do great things, and Abilene is very much like the proverbial grey and unexciting Kansas town depicted in the Wizard of Oz. But, this peaceful great plains town is actually a pleasant stop along the long and uneventful stretch of Kansas I-70. The greatest native son, Supreme Allied Commander during WWII and later President, Dwight Eisenhower has a college campus sized memorial in Abilene worth visiting. Truckers and RV drivers can easily slip in and out of town without a hassle along Buckeye Street (K-15), at Exit 275.

The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
- Studio: TriStar Pictures
- Release Date: Feb 6, 2004
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
The photography, the dialogue, the acting, the script, the special effects and especially the props (such as a spaceship that looks like it would get a D in shop class) are all deliberately bad in the way that such films were bad when they were REALLY being made.
Like all B-movies (or in this case, pseudo B-movies), "Skeleton" contains sparkling moments of promise and camp performance.
The question remains: why work so hard to make something deliberately bad, when the world is hardly running a shortage of mediocre movies?
Works just fine for the first half hour or so, but quickly devolves into a case of too much affection and not enough affliction.
This didn't make me laugh much, but I liked the music, a patchwork of samples culled from the various atomic-monster epics.
There's "so bad it's good," but there's also "just plain bad," and Skeleton's pre-processed shittiness spoils the fun.

Diabetes patients with multivessel disease who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery had lower rates of all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction or nonfatal stroke than those who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention, according to a review presented at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting. Researchers also found that both insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent patients who had CABG showed lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events at five years compared with the PCI arm. However, insulin-dependent patients had higher MACE rates than non-insulin-dependent patients, researchers added.

If you want a beautiful condo, this is the place !
My husband and I stay at that condo during 6 months every year for the past 4 years. This condo is very clean and pretty well maintained, really nicely furnished, stocked with plenty of towels and beach towels and has everything you need to do your own cooking. Within a short walking distance (10 min) are small supermarkets, fruits and vegetables stands, and restaurants with a good selection of foods for very reasonable prices. Interesting to see all the comings/goings of the local people. We are a few steps from the beach. The owners are nice, professional, communicative and responsive. Thank you Miriam and Guillermo for treating us like family. We definitely will return next Winter again.
The condo was just our home away from home, we traveled with teens, which spent most time in the pool just a few feet away from the back door, for me and hubby the beach was awesome, a short walk from the condo as well. We enjoyed every minute, as we traveled to Boca Chica and Puerto Plata, we couldn't have done that buying a complete package at Punta Cana. Two bathrooms to accommodate 4 guests, full kitchen with all the seasonings to make your meals taste great + a line of excellent restaurants all nearby. I highly recommend this condo, if you want to live a truly beach experience in Bavaro Punta Cana.
ps. Guillermo and Miriam were excellent owners' , they help us with all our traveling and settling issues, they provided a guideline in what to do and NOT TO DO in Punta Cana! I really followed all his suggestions, and they recommended two nice ladies, Anna which welcome us to DR. and Belkis to help us in the condo with the home chores! It worked very well, it was a complete new experience for us.
Gorgeous Condo on Bavaro Beach Punta Cana
The Stanza Mare complex has a very clean and safe environment, right on the beach. The entire complex and garden area are very well maintained and we feel in total security with security guards 24/7 on the site. All the current employees are very helpful and friendly, especially Carlos, the security guard on the beach who takes care of us.
Our stay at that condo is enjoyable and the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. Most importantly is the fact that the Condo owner is very honest and easy to deal with because he is very helpful and quickly replies to any questions we have. Everything he told us about the place is as he described it.
The condo is very well kept and very warmly decorated. We saw other condos in the complex and this one is by far the nicest one. We have a wired High speed internet and telephone service inside the condo. The swimming pool has been newly remodeled and close to our unit.
The grounds are very well maintained and fumigated twice a week. For the shade on the beach and pool, there are several palapas and parasols with many long beach chairs with cousins. We walk for miles on the beach in both directions and the beach in front of the complex is one of the nicest.
At a walking distance on the street, there are many good restaurants (Thaïn/asian, italian, mediterranean, french and 3 beach restaurants/bars within a 2 minute walk on the beach.
The 3 grocery stores, the fresh fruits & vegetable market, the bakery and the pharmacy are at a walking distance from the complex for our basic needs but for larger shopping or groceries, we have choice to go to 2 shopping centre within a 20-30 minutes by local bus ride for 30 pesos ($0.75) each and come back in taxi for 500 pesos ($12.50).
We absolutely love this condo and appreciate how close everything is.
Following our previous review, we would like to clarify the subjet concerning the internet service that we mentionned last year in our comments as the internet service on the site was the only negative point.
When this point has been addressed to our owner, he decided to install a wired High speed internet and telephone service in his condo and that, although the WI-FI internet in the common area has been improved to have a signal now much better than last year.
We can say that this condo is the envy of several people this winter and we certainly do not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone.
Enjoy !!!
A 5 stars condo for a 5 stars vacation !
We are well placed to give the right time now since we rented that condo for 6 months (Oct.15-April 14) and we loved so much our stay here that we decided to come back for another 6 months in October.
We visited several condos here in the complex Stanza Mare and we can say that it is one of the most beautiful condo, very clean, comfortable and one of the better decorated and equipped. The kitchen is very well equipped (large fridge, stove gas oven, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, presto, fryer, good pots of high-quality, beautiful dishes...). In addition to the air conditioning in the living room and the bedroom, there is a 40''flat screen TV in the living room, and a small TV and a dehumidifier in the bedroom. All the linen and bedding are provided. We can say that this condo made the envy of many people this winter.
We have been very fortunate to be able to do business directly with the owner, he is very honest and sees to everything, he can be reached at any time, returns our calls quickly, and answers our questions immediately.
A new management has been put in place recently at SM and we can already see the changes that are for the best. A brand new laundry room has been built in the complex, with full service, allowing us to spend time on the beach while the clerk is doing our laundry. The new team of the Resto/Bar SM is very dynamic, puts life on the site and provides a nice atmosphere around the pool and the resto which offers a very varied menu at really affordable prices. Bravo to the new management team, we are certain that we will see still further improvements to our return next fall !
The only negative point is that there is no internet or telephone nowhere on the site (including the condo)... need to go to the accomodation store to use their WiFi internet.
The complex is located directly on the white sand beach (exactly what the owner told us). The entire complex, gardens and the swimming pool (closed by our condo) are very well maintained and we feel in total security with security guards 24/7 on the site. All the people who work for the SM currently are very helpful and friendly, especially Carlos, the security guard on the beach who takes care of you by placing chairs where ever you want.
We do certainly not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone who wishes to spend memorable holidays in a beautiful condo, modern and comfortable, in walking distance of everything what is needed for a pleasant stay !
Un condo 5 étoiles pour un séjour 5 étoiles !
Nous sommes bien placés pour pouvoir donner l'heure juste maintenant puisque nous avons loué le condo de Mr. Santiago pendant 6 mois et nous avons tellement aimé notre séjour ici que nous avons décidé d'y revenir pour un autre 6 mois en oct. prochain.
Nous avons visité plusieurs condos ici dans le complexe et nous pouvons affirmer que celui-ci est l'un des plus beaux, propres, confortables et des mieux décorés et équipés. La cuisine est très bien équipée (gros réfrigérateur, cuisinière au gaz avec four, cafetière, micro-ondes, grille-pain, mélangeur élect., presto, friteuse, bons chaudrons de grande qualité, très belle vaisselle, etc). En plus de l'A/C au salon et dans la CAC, et la TV écran plat de 40'' au salon, il y a un séchoir, une TV et un déshumidificateur dans la CAC et toute la lingerie et literie nécessaires sont fournies. Nous pouvons affirmer que ce condo a fait l'envie de plusieurs personnes cet hiver.
Nous avons été très chanceux de pouvoir faire affaires directement avec Mr. Santiago, il est très honnête et voit vraiment à ses affaires, il peut être rejoint en tout temps, retourne nos appels rapidement et répond à nos questions immédiatement.
Une nouvelle gestion a été mise en place depuis un mois maintenant et nous pouvons déjà constater de gros changements qui s'avèrent être pour le mieux. Une toute nouvelle salle de lavage vient d'être aménagée dans le complexe, avec service complet ce qui nous permet d'aller se prélasser sur la plage pendant que la préposée est en train de faire notre lessive. La nouvelle équipe du Resto/Bar Stanza Mare qui est très dynamique, met de la vie sur le site et apporte une belle ambiance autour de la piscine et au resto/bar qui offre un menu très varié et à des prix très abordables.
Le complexe est situé directement sur la plage de sable blanc (exactement ce que le proprio nous avait dit). L'ensemble du complexe ainsi que les jardins et la piscine (50' de notre condo) sont très bien entretenus.

All of those other weekends spent aimlessly watching TV have finally paid off: It was Sunday Emmys night!
But after gearing up for TV's biggest night, here are five things you might have missed this weekend:
[LINK "/people/article/0"20737609,00.html" "
5. Why So Serious, Andy Samberg?
" "" "" "0" ] If Samberg's vows were anything like his signature punch lines, Joanna Newsom is one lucky (and LOL-ing) bride. But the Saturday Night Live alum put those antics aside to tie the knot with his girlfriend of five years on Saturday at Big Sur's Post Ranch Inn. Send your congrats to the newlyweds!
[LINK "/people/gallery/0"20737294,00.html" "
4. What We Wished Our Movie Dates Looked Like
" "" "" "0" ]Some couples catch a post-dinner rom-com. But if you're newlyweds Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish, Saturday calls for hitting up California's Catalina Film Festival, where their film Big Sur screened. Popcorn optional. How cute are they?
[LINK "/people/stylewatch/package/gallery/0"20304925_20734089,00.html" "
3. It's Weird These Shows Were Snubbed by the Emmys
" "" "" "0" ]We get it: You watch Homeland. But what about Catfish, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and everything else you secretly watch that Sunday night's awards show left out. We're putting our shame aside to show you what's actually on our staff's DVR, besides Homeland. See if your guilty pleasure made our list.
[LINK "/people/article/0"20737624,00.html" "
2. You Can Catch a Cab … or Call Prince William
" "" "" "0" ]Here's yet another reason to love William and Kate: Instead of calling a chauffeur, the prince took the wheel on Sunday for a church service in in Balmoral, the Scottish summer home of the royals. His backseat driver? New mom Kate, who wore a black hat and matching coat for their outing. See their sweet ride.
[LINK "/people/article/0"20737567,00.html" "
1. Miley Cyrus Twerks, Cries – Wait, What?
" "" "" "0" ]In her first performance since calling off her engagement to Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus danced with people dressed as rainbows and cried until her mascara ran ("We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball," respectively). Her emotionally charged return to the stage for Saturday's iHeartRadio Musical Festival was one of the many buzzed-about performances at the extravaganza, which also featured Elton John, Katy Perry and Robin Thicke. Guess what Miley wore?

Commodity Futures Turnover in India to Top 100 Trillion Rupees
Turnover on commodity exchanges in India, the top gold user and the second-largest wheat and rice grower, may jump more than 28 percent as sugar futures trading resumes and new bourses start up, the industry regulator said.
Trading value may exceed 100 trillion rupees ($2.1 trillion) in the year to March 31, from 77.65 trillion rupees a year ago, B.C. Khatua, chairman of the Forward Markets Commission, said in an interview in Mumbai yesterday.
The Indian Commodity Exchange Ltd., founded by Indiabulls Financial Services Ltd. and state-run MMTC Ltd., will complete its first full year of trading and ACE Derivatives & Commodity Exchange Ltd., the fifth national bourse, will begin operations next month, Khatua said. Turnover on Indian commodity bourses has surged 120 times after electronic trading was introduced in 2003, according to the regulator.
"The perceived utility of the futures market is growing, so there will be more and more people coming to the market to hedge their requirements," Khatua said.
Commodities worth 38 trillion rupees changed hands from April 1 to Aug. 15, an increase of 56 percent from a year ago, the commission said last week.
"The natural growth of the markets and some commodity prices have gone up" impacting the turnover, Khatua said.
The Forward Markets Commission is studying a proposal by the Indian Commodity Exchange to take billionaire Anil Ambani's group company as an anchor investor, Khatua said. The plan will be referred to the government for approval because Indiabulls is exiting before the end of a three-year lock-in period, Khatua said. The exchange began in November.
Indiabulls will sell a 26 percent stake to Reliance ADAG, paring its holding to 14 percent, the exchange's Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Chandel said in an interview on Aug. 27.
Sugar Supplies
The government may lift the ban on trading sugar futures next month, Farm Minister Sharad Pawar told reporters Aug. 19. The restriction, imposed in May last year to keep prices from rising because of a shortage, was extended in December until Sept. 30 this year.
The nation's sugar output may be 25.5 million tons in the year starting Oct. 1, more than the annual demand of 23 million tons, the Indian Sugar Mills Association said last month.
"Going by the current trend of production, the price trend and the overall global supply situation, my opinion is that the suspension need not to continue. We can restore it in October," Khatua said. "This contract was very liquid before suspension. It was very active in terms of delivery as well."

Cyber Crime Boosts Threat to Financial Services, PwC Says
Cyber crime is a "growing threat" globally and the second most commonly reported economic crime affecting financial-services firms, according to a survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
It accounted for 38 percent of criminal incidents for financial companies compared with 16 percent in other business sectors, the accounting firm said in a report published today. About half of the financial-services respondents said the potential risk of cyber attacks has risen over the past 12 months compared with 36 percent in other sectors.
"Cyber crime puts the financial sector's customers, brand and reputation at significant risk," Andrew Clark, forensic services partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers said in the statement. "Regulators are increasingly viewing cyber crime as a key area of focus and financial institutions are expected to have appropriate systems and controls in place."
Cyber crime involves the use of computers or the internet and includes the theft of personal information, industrial espionage, reputational damage, financial theft and the disruption of services. About 29 percent of financial-firm respondents didn't receive cyber security training, PricewaterhouseCoopers said.
Asset misappropriation such as embezzlement and deception by employees remains the most popular way of committing fraud in an organization, the survey found.
The survey analyzed 3,877 responses in 78 countries with 23 percent from the financial-services sector.

The Queenstown Lakes District Council will install
information plaques to outline the history of some of the
district's distinctive trees this year.
Parks technical officer Gordon Bailey said 19th century
pioneers had left living legacies of exotic trees across the
district, many of which had been officially recognised on the
New Zealand Tree Register.
Many were on council-owned reserves and listed in the
council's district plan, giving added protection, he said.
The national database included Queenstown's often
photographed ''Trees of Justice'' near the Queenstown
The sequoias (Sequoiadendron giganteum) were
understood to have been planted outside the courthouse around
1876 by Phillip Boult, clerk of the Lake County Council.
According to the description in the register, Mr Boult
decided Queenstown should copy the American tradition of
planting trees outside the courthouse to provide shade for
those attending court.
A cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) planted by Bendix
Hallenstein at his Speargrass Flat estate, Thurlby Domain, in
the 1870s was recognised in the register as the tallest of
its species anywhere in New Zealand, while a sequoia in
Highview Tce on Queenstown Hill was recognised as the largest
exotic conifer in New Zealand.
The tree - also known as a giant redwood or wellingtonia -
was thought to have been planted in about 1870 and is 45.4m

I have many WordPress 1.5 blogs and when I attempt to get back to the admin dashboard on one particular blog, it wants me to login.
The system will not accept the user id and password that I had established when the blog was created.
Is there anyway of getting admin control again?
I've tried to register a new user but the dashboard that I see when logging in as the new user is practically empty.

I've got a Lexmark X422 printer and I'd like to use it on my computer as a scanner (it is installed locally).
Currently, I can scan in pages via Photoshop, but I'd like to use a more specific scanner software so that I can scan multiple pages at once and have them be put into one document. Or if there is a way to do this in Photoshop that would work, too.
I can't seem to find any free software that will support the x422 and allow me to scan multiple pages.

I have just been looking at the Image-Scroller plugin, and it looks absolutely incredible! (And to think it can all be done without Flash...)
Can the images be used as links? I am trying to figure out if this plugin will function well for my purposes. If the images could easily be turned into hyperlinks, then this could very well turn out to be one of my favorite plugins :-)
Thanks for your time, and congratulations on creating such a beautiful plugin!

The event drew more than 60 area residents.
Many signed petitions asking that the measure be placed before the voters in a special election.
In just two weeks, supporters say they've collected 1,200 of the 2,600 necessary signatures needed to get it on the ballot.
Petition spokesman Bucky Wilkes says Geneva County is already wet.
But, it's a revenue issue with folks going to neighboring Florida and surrounding wiregrass counties to buy their liquor.
November 1990 was the last time a wet-dry referendum was held in Geneva County, it failed by a 56-44 percent vote.

I scheduled an Arraignment day online for my speeding ticket. If the issuing officer does not show up can I ask for a dismissal? What are the chances I would be granted that dismissal?
Criminal Defense Attorney
At arraignment, none. officer only needs to be there for trial
The above is not intended as legal advice. The response does not constitute the creation of an attorney client relationship as this forum does not provide for a confidential communication.
Speeding / Traffic Ticket Lawyer
Officers do not appear at arraignment. You need to set ticket for trial and hope cop does not show on that day.
You cannot get your ticket dismissed at the arraignment. But, if the officer does show up at trial, you may ask for a dismissal.
DUI / DWI Attorney
Your traffic citation cannot be dismissed at the time of the Arraignment because officers are not subpoenaed to appear on the Arraignment date.
