			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Young retirees looking out for the best cities in the U.S. to retire young but still be engaged in an active lifestyle may take a look at the top ten cities that have been chosen by the Money Magazine with Bert Sperling of Bestplace.net this year. The best cities have been selected based on important factors for an active lifestyle such as population growth, cost of living, economic health, recreation opportunities and leisure activities. The city&#8217;s proximity to a large metro area, college presence in the vicinity and housing costs that are below $350,000 have been taken into account. However, the study also made a few exceptions for cities that offered unique benefits and did not strictly fit the criteria. It&#8217;s time to put up that tie and retire!</p>
<p>1. Coeur d&#8217;Alene, Idaho: Pronounced as &#8216;Core da lane&#8217;, this city offers a wonderful ski environment, stunning scenery and a flourishing golf culture. The city is picking up in the tourism sector. The median home price is $311,700 and the population is 38,246.</p>
<p>2. Charlottesville, Virginia: The Blue Ridge Mountains, University of Virginia, and variety of entertainment and recreation, makes Charlottesville an attractive option to retire in.

<p>3. Logan, Utah: Home to the Utah State University, Logan is a popular city that offers various recreational activities including plenty of water sports at Bear Lake.

<p>7. Sarasota, Florida: You would love this spot for its exquisite architecture, pure white sands and wonderful beach sports. You can have a big house warming party,<a href="http://www.universalfunparties.com/" target="_blank"> south florida party rentals</a> are always on hand. The medium home price is a little expensive at $423,400 and the population is at 53,477.

<p>My code is not aligned because <a href="http://www.howtohacks.com/2011/02/how-to-display-newest-comments-first-in-a-wordpress-post/">wordpress</a> kept putting in br tags, but you&#8217;ll get the point (hopefully) To resize the current window using javascript use this code in your header:</p>
<p>Well I tried to put it here but WordPress was having problems and resizing the blog, omg so funny (not) but rofl anyway? Watch out, here comes the rolfcopter!</p>
<div align="center"><img src='/img/uploads/roflcopter7.gif' alt='ROFLCOPTER' align='center' /></div>
<p>You can view all code right here in this txt file.<br />
<a href="/resize-current-window.txt" target="_blank">resize-current-window.txt</a></p>
<p>Oh hellz yeah!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay.  This may be a long post, but I have, instead of putting these in seperate posts, I will combine them into one.  So, grab a beer (or your favorite beverage you sissy) and gather &#8217;round papa Steel&#8217;s Fireside chat.</p>
<p>First off, we have a story about a child.  A child vs. the big business.  My girlfriend tried to log into her AOL account the other day, and it wouldn&#8217;t work.  She called her dad to ask what had happened, and found out that her younger sister used vulgar language in a child&#8217;s chat room, so AOL suspended their accounts.</p>
<p>When asked what she had said, it was, &#8220;This is poop&#8221;.  Huh?  Suspended?  For that?  </p>
<p>Next in our array of stories, I recently got a 12-month Xbox Live renewal card.  My yearly subscription was supposed to end January 19th.  I put in the new card on January 1st.  After I put in the code, my <em>new</em> expiration date was January 1, 2007.  Huh?  So the next day, I called to <em>reclaim</em> my 19 days, I talked to no less than 5 people, and by the end of the calls, I felt like Rainman&#8230;  &#8220;I want my 19 days!  I want my 19 days!&#8221;  BTW, it was resolved.</p>
<p>Finally, I have a rant on people who say things incorrectly.  Especially computer stuff.  I have heard people (a lot of people) say UBS port (instead of USB), Hewitt Packard (instead of Hewlett Packard &#8211; there is an &#8220;L&#8221; in here people), and I heard my favorite of all time today.  I was talking to someone about the new computers, and how they don&#8217;t have a floppy disk drive.  He then proceeded to ask me how much it would be to add a &#8220;sloppy drive&#8221; to his computer.  I just smiled.  His wife (they were both elderly) said &#8220;I think it&#8217;s actually floppy drive.&#8221;  And we all laughed together.  Except me.  I was laughing at them.</p>
<p>Well, kiddies, that&#8217;s it for me for now.  Have a splendid day and don&#8217;t forget to put out the fire before you go.</p>

But here are the things I don&#8217;t like about this particular holiday season: 1) Since when did Thanksgiving become Christmas before Christmas? &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="http://www.stuckiniowa.com/who-else-is-a-scrooge/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div align='right' style='border:1px solid; float:right; margin: 0 0 0 10px; padding:2px; background-color: #dddddd;'><img src='/img/uploads/bah-humbug.jpg' alt='Arg' /> <center>How I may look<br />50 years from now</center></div>
<p>Now I&#8217;m not saying that <a href="http://www.cedmagic.com/featured/christmas-carol/christmas-carol.html" target=_blank>I hate Christmas</a>.  Quite the contrary.  But here are the things I don&#8217;t like about this particular holiday season:</p>
<ul>
<li>1)  Since when did Thanksgiving become Christmas before Christmas?  Pretty soon, &#8220;Christmas in July&#8221; might become a reality.</li>
<li>2)  Where the hell did all this snow come from?  Is God trying to catch up with the last few years in just one winter?</li>
<li>3)  I don&#8217;t have money for gifts.  I don&#8217;t know where everyone else is coming up with that gift money.  I guess I better put on my street walkin boots and Santa&#8217;s hat/hooker red lipstick to make up the difference.</li>
<li>4)  When did <em>this</em> particular holiday become the one where everyone asks me when I&#8217;m going to propose to my girlfriend?  See previous point for the answer to that one, bitches.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, in conclusion, this holiday is about love, not setting up lights on November 1st, not shoveling until we all get hernias or heart-attacks, not spending hours working to spend hours shopping, not proposing (or will I?).  But love and family.  So screw all that other stuff we&#8217;re supposed to do, because, guess what folks&#8230;  THAT ISN&#8217;T CHRISTMAS!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of the latest science news&#8230; you may not know this but many non-living things have a gender.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<p>1) <strong>Ziploc Bags are Male</strong>, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Copiers are Female</strong>, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again.  It&#8217;s an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can wreak havoc if the wrong buttons are pushed.</p>
<p>3) <strong>A Tire is Male</strong>, because it goes bald and it&#8217;s often over-inflated.</p>
<p>4)<strong> A Hot Air Balloon is Male</strong>, because, to get it to go anywhere, you have to light afire under it, and of course, there&#8217;s the hot air part.</p>
<p>5) <strong>Sponges are Female</strong>, because they&#8217;re soft, squeezable and retain water.</p>
<p>6) <strong>A Web Page is Female</strong>, because it&#8217;s always getting hit on.</p>
<p>7) <strong>A Subway is Male</strong>, because it uses the same old lines to pick people up.</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.stuckiniowa.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> <strong>An Hourglass is Female</strong>, because over time, the <a href="http://www.howtohacks.com/2011/02/how-to-lose-lose-weight-fast-in-5-steps/">weight</a> shifts to the bottom.</p>
<p>9) <strong>A Hammer is Male</strong>, because it hasn&#8217;t changed much over The last 5,000 years, but it&#8217;s handy to have around.</p>
<p>10) <strong>A Remote Control is <font color="red">Female</font></strong>. Ha! You thought it&#8217;d be male, didn’t you? But consider this &#8211; it gives a man pleasure, he&#8217;d be lost without it, and while he doesn&#8217;t always know the right buttons to push, he keeps trying&#8230;</p>

<p>There seems to be a large black hole with some sort of effect on people on earth.  This means crazy shit is happening.  For example, this whole <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&#038;u=/launch/20050926/en_launch/24273683" target=_blank>Britney Spears baby</a> thing.  If you didn&#8217;t catch Family Guy this weekend, it had a bit about being Kevin Federline&#8217;s Mirror.</p>
<p>Anyway, there&#8217;s also this <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&#038;u=/ap/20050926/ap_en_tv/people_kutcher_moore_4" target=_blank>Demi Moore &#8211; Ashton Kutcher</a> thing.  Now see, I could use an overused &#8220;layer of hell&#8221; thing, but I feel that a black hole is much more descriptive because this crap is sucking the life out of me.  That and other things.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-689" title="Black VW Golf" src="http://www.stuckiniowa.com/wp-content/uploads/2005/09/vwgolf.jpg" alt="Black VW Golf" width="150" height="150" /> My Golf rocks. Not because it has 8 airbags. not because all it&#8217;s a &#8216;sleeper&#8217; and I&#8217;ve never been pulled over by the cops in it. Not because it&#8217;s small, light, fast, and furious. What makes it really the hardcore machine it is? The keyless entry key. Let me explain&#8230; I washed my key today on the heavy duty setting with a 30 minute soak option, then dried it with my clothes on high for about 75 minutes (I was drying blue jeans). It wasn&#8217;t until the dry cycle was over that I realized what terrible thing I&#8217;ve done!  My key was dry and clean so I decided to give it a shot and the keyless entry worked. And the moral of the story is&#8230;  it&#8217;s okay to wash your VW key with your laundry. At the end of the day you&#8217;ll have a nice shiny working key.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a solution for people having an issue with Plesk. On one of my servers I was updating Plesk 7.5.3 to 7.5.4 however I could never update successfully. Here&#8217;s the error message I was getting:</p>
<p>Installing php-pgsql-4.3.2-23.ent.i386.rpm<br />
error: Failed dependencies:<br />
       php = 4.3.2-23.ent is needed by php-pgsql-4.3.2-23.ent<br />
   Suggested resolutions:<br />
       /php-4.3.2-23.ent.i386.rpm</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my solution&#8230;<br />
#cd /root/psa/<current PSA version><br />
#rpm -Uvh &#8211;nodeps php-pgsql-4.3.2-23.ent.i386.rpm </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a screen copy of what I did step by step:<br />
<code><br />
[root@myserver rpm]# cd /root/psa/<br />
[root@myserver psa]# ls<br />
PSA_7.5.3  PSA_7.5.4  psa.inf<br />

[root@myserver RHel3_std.updates]# ls<br />
php-pgsql-4.3.2-23.ent.i386.rpm    plesk-libstdc++-3_4-3.4.3-2.i586.rpm<br />
plesk-libgcc-3_4-3.4.3-2.i586.rpm<br />

   1:php-pgsql              ########################################### [100%]</code></p>
<p>Then I went into the Plesk Control Panel, did the &#8216;updater&#8217; and it worked when I updated my packages.</current></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smoother and I were watching Starship Troopers 2 the other day, or maybe I should say <em>trying</em> to watch.  What a piece of absolute garbage.  The first one was cool, with bodies splitting in half and me saying &#8220;Do her&#8221; to that Van whatever guy most of the movie, but this one was horrible.  Same crap minute one, minute 30, and so on.  So now we are watching Wild Things 2.  Still plotless, and slow motion boobies can only get you so far because the &#8220;twists&#8221; are just like the first one, and this one doesn&#8217;t have Denise Richards, Neve Campbell, or Matt Dillon.  Therefore, every Denise Richards sequel (when she&#8217;s not in the sequel) sucks.  Guess I should stop waiting for <em>Undercover Brother 2</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Considering all the past concern about possible health risks from drinking <a href="http://www.howtohacks.com/2011/02/how-to-make-5-delicious-coffee-drinks/">coffee</a>, newer reports of coffee&#8217;s possible protective effects may leave many people confused.</p>
<p>Overall, recent studies suggest that coffee (regular and decaffeinated) may offer a variety of health benefits against diseases such as cancer and diabetes. However, coffee may not deserve a place in the same category with other healthful foods like vegetables, fruits and whole grains.</p>
<p>Laboratory studies suggest that the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant compounds in coffee could help reduce risk of cancer. Coffee also has a tendency to speed the passage of waste through the digestive tract. Potentially, this may lessen the time that cancer-causing compounds spend in contact with the intestinal tract, which could reduce the risk of colon cancer. Population studies, however, tend to split between coffee intake having no effect on or reducing risk of breast and colon cancer.</p>
<p><span id="more-343"></span>Diabetes Prevention</p>
<p>The case for coffee&#8217;s ability to protect against diabetes is strengthened by several recent studies. In the Iowa Women&#8217;s Health Study, more than 28,000 women were followed for 11 years. The women who drank four or more cups of coffee daily were about 20 percent less likely to develop diabetes. That became a 30 to 40 percent drop among those who drank decaf coffee.</p>
<p>A study in Finland linked consumption of three to six cups of coffee per day with a 25 percent lower risk of diabetes. In both studies, benefits were seen after adjusting for other diabetes risks, such as weight, diet, and activity level. Several studies now link moderate coffee consumption with lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. Researchers are working to understand the potential advantage of decaf versus regular coffee and how weight control is involved.</p>
<p>Potential increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease has been one of the long-standing concerns about coffee. Recent studies confirm that caffeine can raise blood pressure, but this effect is observed with soft drinks, not coffee. Laboratory studies suggest that perhaps coffee&#8217;s healthful compounds can counterbalance the blood-pressure raising effects of caffeine.</p>
<p>In the Iowa Women&#8217;s Health Study noted above, four to five cups of coffee a day were linked with a 19 percent lower risk of heart-related death. Other studies have found no effect of coffee consumption on heart disease risk. But people should follow their doctor&#8217;s advice.</p>
<p>Coffee does warrant some cautions, however. Both regular and decaf coffee relax the muscle that keeps stomach acids from rising into the throat, so those with heartburn or reflux disease (GERD) are encouraged to avoid or strictly limit coffee. People with trouble sleeping should limit or avoid caffeinated coffee.</p>
<p>Studies now suggest it is unnecessary for pregnant women to completely avoid caffeinated coffee. Until the impact of caffeine is more clearly understood, however, many experts suggest that pregnant women limit their daily caffeine from coffee, soft drinks and other sources to about 300 mg, the equivalent of three cups of regular coffee.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s exciting that something as simple as drinking coffee might help lower our risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. However, while brewed coffee (not instant) is a concentrated source of antioxidants, it can&#8217;t be a substitute for berries, legumes, nuts, and other fruits and vegetables that provide antioxidants along with a wide range of vitamins, protective compounds and dietary fiber.</p>
