(poză de vic)

în altă ordine de idei, e o zi frumoasă în care putem asculta foarte nouă şi foarte bună melodie pe care am descoperit-o cu mare bucurie, chiar aseară. vizionare şi ascultare OBLIGATORII. (la refren veţi auzi vocile gemenilor lui Kubrick din The Shinning: "Shoot, baby, shoot, baby, pull the trigger, fire a bullet, an arrow or a poisoned dart". Well, "We cant live forever". And thats for sure!

iar aici, tot Get Well Soon, iar dacă nu puteţi urmări, vă înţeleg. finalul însă ne salvează cumva.

And then the sky cleared up and everything
You said became true to me
Everything is green in the springtime - a new life For everyone and me
To the beat of my automatic heart you sing a song of life
We let it all go by on this easter day - no one
Will divide us again
On the tree above sings a yellow bird of things
From far away that we don't need

First thing first, install:

Install the sitemap generator is same as install any other plugin, unzip and put it into plugin folder, like:

\wp-content\plugins\google-sitemap-generator

I am not put it into mu-plugins folder, because I do not want sitemap.xml for all blogs, I need give blogger choice, they can active it when they need sitemap. (Not everyone like sitemap IMO)

Now, Lets Make Some Change

function GetHomePath()

Find function GetHomePath at sitemap-core.php file, this function return the value of blog root, it works fine for single wordpress system, but for mu system, it will cause mess, as author recommend, we change this function, before return $res;

Global $blog_id;
if ($blog_id != 1) $res .= 'wp-content/blogs.dir/' . $blog_id . '/files/';
return $res;

After change this function, the sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz file will be placed at blog file folder.

Remove user ability to make key setting changes

WordPress mu is a multiuser system, you should not allow user to change some key sitemap setting, open sitemap-ui.php file,

Remove

} else if($k=="sm_b_location_mode") {
$tmp=(string) $_POST[$k];
$tmp=strtolower($tmp);
if($tmp=="auto" || $tmp="manual") $this->sg->_options[$k]=$tmp;
else $this->sg->_options[$k]="auto";

This is for decide where the sitemap.xml placed, do not need for mu system

Remove

If($this->sg->GetOption('sm_b_robots')===true) {
if($this->sg->WriteRobotsFile()) {
$message.=str_replace("%s",$this->sg->GetRobotsFileUrl(),__("<a href=\"%s\">Robots.txt</a> file saved",'sitemap')) . "<br />";
} else {
$message.=__("Error while saving Robots.txt file",'sitemap') . "<br />";
}
}

This is for how to change robots.txt file, as we know, for mu system, robots.txt file is generated on the fly, so cannot allow user to change it.

Remove

<li>

<input type="checkbox" id="sm_b_robots" name="sm_b_robots" <?php echo ($this->sg->GetOption("sm_b_robots")==true?"checked=\"checked\"":"") ?> />
<?php echo str_replace('%s',(file_exists($this->sg->GetRobotsFilePath())?'<a href="' . $this->sg->GetRobotsFileUrl() . '">robots.txt</a>':'robots.txt'),__("Modify or create %s file in blog root which contains the sitemap location.",'sitemap')); ?>

<br />
<?php _e("File permissions: ",'sitemap');
$f = $this->sg->GetRobotsFilePath();
$link = ' <a href="' . $this->sg->GetRedirectLink("sitemap-help-options-robots",'sitemap') . '">' . __("Learn more",'sitemap') . '</a>';
if(file_exists($f)) {
if(is_writable($f)) {
_e("OK, robots.txt is writable.",'sitemap');
} else {
echo __("Error, robots.txt is not writable.",'sitemap') . $link;
}
} else {
if(is_writable(dirname($f))) {
_e("OK, robots.txt doesn't exist but the directory is writable.",'sitemap');
} else {
echo __("Error, robots.txt doesn't exist and the directory is not writable",'sitemap') . $link;
}
}
?>
</li>

This is the UI (User Interface) part of robots.txt file change, if you do not user change it, so don't let them see it.

Remove

</label>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</div>

This part is for choose sitemap.xml location, same same, if you do not want user change it, better not allow them see it.

Change Default Settings

This is not must, but I recommend you change it, to make your user life easier

On sitemap-core.php file, you can find default value at function InitOptions

The change I made are:

$this->_options["sm_b_prio_provider"]="GoogleSitemapGeneratorPrioByAverageProvider";

The provider for automatic priority calculation, after I test, Google Sitemap Generator Prio By Average Provider is working better than Google Sitemap Generator Prio By Count Provider

$this->_options["sm_b_pingyahoo"]=true; //Auto ping YAHOO
$this->_options["sm_b_yahookey"]='Q89D23fV34GSeqHjRl8o5i55ojmxrmwJPyMa_195mBnBaK6Vp_NB8y5WjnIoamjikw--'; //YAHOO Application Key, default for all

Default the sitemap not ping Yahoo after generated, because you need a yahoo key to ping it, so I put a key (get free form yahoo) as default, I suggest you get one free key from yahoo too and put there, of course if you like you may keep my key, not a big deal.

Done

Ok, it's half done, all the change on the plugin is finished, if user active the plugin at them plugin page, a sitemap.xml and a sitemap.xml.gz (a zip verison) will be create and placed into the blog folder and ping the search engines.

Everything is perfect except: the sitemap.xml NOT at root folder, so when search engine spider come, it can claw nothing except a 404 error. The following is how to fix this:

Plug You Plugin in to mu-plugins

Don't laugh, I know it's a silly title, just some stupid thing have to do.

We know the php file in mu-plugins folder will be load automatically by WordPress. So I created a postedpost.php file and write all my little change and hacks inside, like my Ultimate WP Post Name URL Sanitize Solution, I suggest you do it to, very easy and convenience. Anyway, the following code should inside mu-plugins folder.

Put sitemap into Robots.txt file

Function postedpost_do_robots() {
global $current_blog;
if ( '0' != $current_blog->public ) {
$siteurl = get_settings('siteurl');
if ( class_exists( 'GoogleSitemapGeneratorLoader' ) ) {
echo "Sitemap: " . $siteurl . "/sitemap.xml\n";
echo "Sitemap: " . $siteurl . "/sitemap.xml.gz\n";
}
}
}
add_action('do_robots', 'postedpost_do_robots', 20);

As the new sitemap protocol, you can put sitemap location into robots.txt file, so search engine can find your sitemap without you told them, e.g. Google Webmaster Tool.

Rewrite Rules

Function postedpost_rewrite_rules_array($rules){
$newrules = array();
$newrules['sitemap\.(xml|xml\.gz)$'] = 'index.php?is_page_redirect=1&redirect_method=sitemap&redirect_url=$matches[1]';
return $newrules+$rules;
}
add_filter('rewrite_rules_array', 'postedpost_rewrite_rules_array');

Function postedpost_parse_query($query){
global $blog_id;;
$siteurl = get_settings('siteurl');
$uri = parse_url($siteurl);
if(!empty($query->query_vars['is_page_redirect'])){
$redirect_method = $query->query_vars['redirect_method'];
if ( $redirect_method == 'sitemap' ) {
$redirect_url = $siteurl . '/wp-content/blogs.dir/' . $blog_id . '/files/sitemap.' . $redirect_url;
} else {
$redirect_url = get_settings('siteurl');
Header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
Header('Location: ' . get_settings('siteurl'));
exit();
}
Header('HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily');
Header('Location: ' . $redirect_url);
exit();
}
}
add_action('parse_query', 'postedpost_parse_query');

Function postedpost_init() {
global $wp_rewrite;
// postedpost_flush_rewrite_rules
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
add_rewrite_tag('%comment_id%', '(([0-9]{1,})');

}
add_action('init', 'postedpost_init');

These code all about rewrite rules, when search engine or visitor visit /sitemap.xml, it will be 302 redirect to /wp-content/blogs.dir/[blog_id]/files/sitemap.xml. Btw, in my own code, I have many other rewrite rules and process code in these functions, that also why I say put all hacks in one php file, for make easier on process common task and improve performance.

OK, Done

This time all done.

eu mă opresc aici

bună dimineaţa. aici e ora 10 şi 14 minute. aşa ne-am trezit. dar numai ce veneam, in silence, adica.  (lui toblerone îi plac clipurile vechi de la depeche mode pentru că îi amintesc de faţa lui din tinereţe. cum eu nu îl cunoşteam pe atunci, îl prefer totuşi pe dave în tinereţe!)

LEGGERE VARIAZIONI DI ROTTA, 20 poeti dal blog LIBERINVERSI,
Le Voci della Luna, Milano 2008
Questa non è un'antologia e, credo, la definizione di antologia non può che nuocere a un lavoro che vuole porsi nei termini di una lettura a tu per tu, com'è detto nella premessa.
Consonanze, dunque, tra il lettore e il testo; progetto per la funzione di un lettore presente, non necessariamente dotato di uno strumentario critico affilato; piuttosto capace di prendere atto, di accogliere. Questo è, sempre, il compito di chi affronta il libro. Anche nel senso di un affronto.
Il testo non dovrebbe mai essere considerato un oggetto tiepido, conciliante. Il testo è un estraneo, un estraneo che si avvicina; l'affronto reciproco è tutto da valutare nelle conseguenze di questa misura tra il corpo del testo e quello del lettore – credo che il miglior modo per condannare all'oblio un'opera, sia l'indifferenza - .
Ma il maggior problema della poesia di questi anni è l'accresciuta solitudine del sentirsi poeti, nella divaricazione tra aspettative soggettivistiche dell’ego che scrive, e il compito di un io capace di sentire oltre, con lo sguardo frontale. Insomma: quanto rimane a noi e quanto invece passa al mondo, a tutti, della nostra scrittura? Se da una parte, operazioni editoriali di questo tipo risultano necessarie perché il lettore medio possa imparare ad esercitare una sana e necessaria critica militante, allontanando il pensiero dalla tentazione di una indicizzazione - il libro ci riguarda, sempre, personalmente, prima di ogni ragionamento - dall'altra si portano con sé, per le ragioni suddette, il rischio di un’accoglienza anche del corpo/ego dell'autore.
Oggi, chi fa critica, si assume il compito di colmare il vuoto di un fare che la cosiddetta critica ufficiale non assolve da tempo; con i disastri, ma anche le possibilità che sono sotto gli occhi di tutti. Questa lettura in effetti, è lettura di poeti che leggono poeti; si realizza all'interno di uno dei tanti gruppi che oggi operano in internet - a volte anarchici, a volte più omogenei, ma comunque sempre nella tensione di affrontare problemi.Questa diversificazione di posizioni, di per sé sintomo di una koiné, avrebbe avuto avere già da qualche anno, come conseguenza di una presenza così forte, indagini massicce su una stessa scrittura, capaci, magari, di approdare a discordanze e punti di vista, ma questo non è avvenuto. Anzi, assistiamo spesso a una divulgazione, piuttosto che all’esercizio di una retorica del lettore critico. Oggi si procede ancora entro i canoni di un afflato, mentre, forse, ci si dovrebbe incamminare verso il compito di uno spossessamento del testo, di una liberazione dal suo autore, dalle sue strategie comunicative fuori dal testo. In questo senso l'operazione di “Leggere variazioni di rotta”non scantona il rischio; è attraversata da qualcosa che chiamerei, eclettismo del lettore: il lettore legge e dice innamorandosi del corpo del testo. Isolando il testo - e questo mi sembra il suo maggior limite – da un contesto di scritture ed esperienze che, forse andavano messe a confronto, fatte vibrare nella risonanza o nell’affronto. E' un lettore/poeta che qui, evidentemente, mostra strumenti di lettura assai personali, ma non per questo non decodificabili - sarebbe interessante analizzare la provenienza di questi stili, che spesso dicono più dei testi, dimostrando l’esistenza di un impatto censorio – questo in generale – col corpo del testo secondo formazioni, in/dipendenza dai maestri; o ricerca, anche, di una propria scrittura critica; operazione che ormai va di pari passo con la ricerca di una propria scrittura poetica.
Silvia Monti e Alessandra Palmigiano operano una scelta tutta al femminile, segnalando probabilmente l’urgenza o il desiderio di una consonanza politica, culturale, ancora non pacificata.
Luigi Metropoli sceglie poeti che conosce bene, di cui si è occupato in altra sede; poeti che si muovono nella coscienza della seduzione della forma con tutto il peso del suo statuto, e la possibilità di farsi altro, di innestarsi in altre forme, in altri statuti.
Chiara De Luca predilige il contatto, il fluire del testo nella voce viva del suo autore, di una conoscenza a visu. Sceglie quindi, compagni di viaggio che ha conosciuto, e il testo è letto, probabilmente, come conseguenza di un incontro.
Le scelte di Stefano Guglielmin e Massimo Orgiazzi, sono misurate, direi, su una ricerca di scritture in rapporto a ciò che storicamente si è chiamata ricerca poetica, e che oggi fa i conti con una nozione di testo inteso come problema; non più come campo di battaglia di pulsioni e significanti allo stato brado. Si avverte anche una tendenza a preferire scritture storicizzate, o che chiedono una storicizzazione.
Sul versante di una scrittura poco sedimentata, come pegno di scommessa, si pongono le scelte di Pierluigi Lanfranchi.
L'aspettativa del lettore che legge il blog Liberinversi, credo sia quella di un appuntamento con altri capitoli, per testimoniare altre scritture e altri lettori. Qualcosa di molto simile ai quaderni curati da Buffoni. Un'operazione in corso, dunque, non infiacchita da contese sul canone, sulla ricerca dell'antologia perfetta che non può, non deve esistere, ma sul duro compito del restituire, del rendere vivo il corpo del testo, immettendolo nel mondo attraverso l'esperienza di un lettore lavoratore.

No Direct Cost to You - That's right...no cost to you...One misconception in real estate is that a home buyer pays commission. Not so! The seller pays the commission, and if two agents are involved in the transaction, that same commission will be split between them. If it ever becomes an issue, keep in mind you have the upper hand in all negotiations in today's buyer's market.

Multiple Listing Service - The Multiple Listing Service (or MLS) is a database which allows real estate agents to share information about houses for sale. Your real estate agent, who is licensed with their state, will have access to all these listings. After learning the your criteria for the home you are looking for, your real estate agent will get to work by searching through the long list of potential homes. Without a real estate agent, you'll be limited in your searches, which could make your home search difficult and tedious.

Legal Protection - When making an important financial transaction such as buying a home, it's important to know that you are legally protected in case things don't go as planned. When your real estate agent drafts a purchase agreement, they will include certain contingencies that protect you from issues, such as a loss of financing, failed inspection or unfulfilled promises. If the situation warrants, you may be able to recoup your earnest money deposit or void your offer completely.

Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork! - Going through the mountain of paperwork associated with buying a home is your real estate agent's job! A real estate agent can prevent you from losing and forgetting paperwork or from signing on the wrong line. Without their help, you could miss things that may delay the process and push back your closing date.

update:
consider ceva: La mulţi ani papaşalului, laviniei şi lui mihai! Hip, hip, ura!

I left my home city Berlin at 4 am to arrive in Stuttgart on time when the gates were opened. Before the matches started I followed some training sessions of players like Nadia Petrova, Vera Zvonareva and Dinara Safina (pictures will come the next days).

The first match of the day was Victoria Azarenka vs. Olympic gold medalist Elena Dementieva. And it became a great match with long rallies and some nice shots. The match lasted nearly three hours until Azarenka won 7-6(6) 3-6 6-1 to become the first player who reached the semis.

After a short break Nadia Petrova and Na Li, who defeated Serena Williams the round before, entered the center court. But it was the most uninteresting match of the whole weekend. Li made many errors and Petrova played very constant. In the end Petrova won 6-2 6-3.

The third match of the day was Venus Williams vs. the player of the year Dinara Safina. Venus played wonderful and powerful tennis. It was a good match but Dinara seemed tired after losing the first set. So Williams won 6-4 6-2.

Then the match of the day came when Jelena Jankovic & Vera Zvonareva played great and thrilling match. After Jankovic won the first set in a tiebreaker Zvonareva led with a break in the second set when Jankovic got injured at her toe nail. But Jankovic continued and turned the paper to win 7-6(8) 7-6(5).

After that match I left the Porsche Arena after a long long day so I missed the last doubles quarterfinal...

All pictures of the four singles quarterfinals.

If you want to go directly to your favourite player go through the player list.

The next days the pictures from semifinals and final will follow. I also have a lot of practicing pics and videos. So stay tuned!

While our role today is very different from the past, our value  as a Realtor can be as important as ever.

As an agent, if your only value is your real estate license, a lockbox key/code and your car (chauffeur), then your life expectancy as an agent is going to be very short in the business of today's Web 2.0+ world.

So, how do you bring value to the marketplace as a real estate agent today?  To start off, you must know your area of expertise...anything and everything there is to know about your local real estate market conditions and pass that information on to your customers/clients. Of course, this comes with time in the business, knowing the inventory, asking questions, and working really hard.  The key here is time and patience.

The information a client/customer receives by looking online is no substitute for the knowledge of a local, full-time real estate agent and the information they can provide.  How can you compare the knowledge received online in just a few short hours to the knowledge of someone working everyday, for many years, living and breathing real estate in their specific location? Looking online will never give you the same tangible knowledge of actually being out there, working in the business, and learning and "seeing" all there is to know.

A real estate agent should be paid for the value they bring to the clients/customers they are serving. Saving them time, saving them money, and minimizing their frustration, while educating them on market conditions and inventory, and then walking them through the closing process,  are some of the key values we as agents should bring to the table.

Our experience is that if you offer "value", honesty, and service-oriented skills, the buying public will not mind paying for it.

We are Larry & Sheila of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. We can help you with every aspect of buying or selling your home because...we're experienced, we're professional...and we love what we do...We get to sell Long Island Real Estate.  We cover all of the North Shore of Long Island including Smithtown LI, St James LI, Nissequogue LI, Head of Harbor LI, Old Field LI, Nesconset LI, Kings Park LI, Commack LI, Plainview LI, Syosset LI, Muttontown LI, Brookville LI, Mill Neck LI, Poquott LI, Belle Terre LI, Setauket LI, Stony Brook LI, Lake Grove LI, Lake Ronkonkoma LI, Sayville LI, Oakdale LI, Northport LI, Centerport LI, Fort Salonga LI, Mt Sinai LI, Roslyn LI, Huntington LI, Cold Spring Hills, LI, Baiting Hollow, LI,Dix Hills LI, Melville LI, and many more Towns in Nassau and Suffolk County, Long Island, New York.

Eccoci di nuovo qui ragazzi! Oggi recensirò La Mummia 3 La Tomba Dell’Imperatore Dragone. Partendo dal presupposto che non ho visto i precedenti film, la trama non si lega per niente con gli altri 2 film. Solo i personaggi son li stessi. L’interpretazione dei vari attori non è male e i momenti comici non mancano. Da non sottovalutare qualche effetto speciale ma nel complesso sembra tutto un minestrone difficile da digerire. Anche tutte le trasformazioni dell’imperatore senza spiegazioni sono davvero surreali. Poi anche il rifilarci della solita situazione critica tra padre e figlio è davvero troppo. Quindi il mio voto complessivo è di 6+.

Just some pictures you may like to see. That's a.l.l.! (meaning me:P)

 We have recently been working with a few 1st time home buyers and we were thinking about what information we needed to provide them. 

 Educating the buyers is essential to a great transaction

No matter what the condition of the housing market, purchasing a home is a major financial decision. A home is much more than a financial investment...it is an investment in a new lifestyle and a new way of looking at property. Those who are unprepared to make the jump from renting to home ownership can make some costly mistakes, and learning to avoid those bloppers (ouch) is vital.

Think With Your Head Not Your Heart - One of the most common mistakes made by first time home buyers is allowing emotions to take over.  Yes, buying a home can be an emotional process, but there are some steps home buyers can take to prevent emotional ties from getting in the way of sound financial discipline.

While it may be easy to picture your family playing in the backyard of a new home, take a step back and look at the home with the eyes of an investor. Pretend for a moment that you are not going to live in the house but are buying it as a pure investment. Is it still just as attractive, or has it lost some of its appeal? Emotional attachment is fine, but it should not overrule your good judgment.

Consider All the Costs of Home Ownership - Buying more house than they can afford is a classic blunder for many first time homeowners. One of the chief reasons behind this error is factoring in only the cost of the mortgage versus the cost of continuing to rent. While it is certainly appealing to go from collecting rent receipts to building up home equity, keep in mind that the costs of owning a home do not end with the monthly mortgage check.

Don't Try to Time the Market - Market timing doesn't work in the stock market, and it doesn't work in the housing market either. Although it can be tempting to try to wait for the market to hit rock bottom, you may be left out in the cold when the market starts to turn around. Many professionals, including home builders, lenders and real estate investors, have a great deal of difficulty timing the market, even with all their specialized knowledge and experience.

While some home buyers will be lucky enough to sell their existing homes at the top of the market and buy their next one when the market crawls, most of us will not be so lucky. There are bargains to be found in every real estate market but the key is to arm yourself with as much information as possible and shop smart.
