To achieve maximum results, it is important to use the proper package size for each tire. As a rule of thumb, the amount of Counteract required per tire is based on one ounce per thirteen pounds of tire. If you are using our throw in bags, open & discard outside bag only & throw clear inner bag containing Counteract directly inside tire cavity. If you are not using an applicator and pouring the contents of the bag directly into the tire, it is imperative that none of the contents of the bag ends up on the bead seating area of the tire and rim. Counteract disclaims any responsibility for air loss or tire damage due to improper installation or air check. In order to reduce the possibility of valve leaks, the use of a Counteract valve core and a metal CBB valve cap is recommended and included in every bag of Counteract. Counteract is TPMS compatible.
Most tracker trailers use 10oz in the front tires and 10oz in the rear tires on single axles. Dual axles in the rear will need to use 12oz per tire. Super Wides wil need to us the 16 oz bags.
The science is revolutionaryThe goal of balancing a wheel is to reduce its rolling resistance by decreasing tire sidewall flexing, tread squirming, and friction caused by reverberation. The benefits to accomplishing proper balance are greater fuel economy, longer tire life and reduced vibration—all of which result in great efficiency for your business or personal life. The technology behind our balancing beads is protected by international patents and only available from Counteract Balancing Beads. It has turned the commercial trucking, transportation and recreational industries on their heads, worldwide. Made of a patented specially coated glass bead that will not breakdown or degrade, our balancing beads are placed directly into the tire where they are free to move and adjust to balance imperfections as they develop. Our balancing beads automatically balance the complete wheel assembly. Counteract Balancing Beads were introduced to the transportation market over 14 years ago and are now manufactured and sold throughout the world. A proven and trouble-free product, our balancing beads provide continuous balance for the life of the tire. Furthermore, they are very clean to work with, contain no dust, and are one of the few environmentally friendly products that actually save you money. Now, vehicles a half-tonne or larger have a simple and proven weapon against the unnecessary loses due to imbalanced wheels. Counteract Balancing Beads were designed to be installed easily by dropping a pre-measured package into the tire cavity before mounting or to be injected through the tire valve stem. And, because they were developed to allow anyone to install them, the costs associated with mounting and dismounting tires, not to mention balancing them the old fashioned way, are virtually eliminated. Take a look at the science behind Counteract Balancing Beads |
Testimonials |
I have a 2005 one-ton Ford pickup with a 6-liter power stroke auto transmission. Tires; Cooper size 35x12x50 are mounted on my truck with a 40,000 mile tire life. Prior to putting in the beads I was experiencing a 50 mph tire vibration and tire whine. After installing the beads and removing all of the tire balancing weights from the wheels, the fuel economy improved by 1.8 mpg* (13.6%), the tire vibration and whine was eliminated at all speeds and the tire wear increased. I had originally took my truck in to have one of my tires fixed for a slow leak. When they checked my mileage, their chart showed that I had 57,000 miles on my tires. So they checked the tread. My tires still had 1/3 of their tread left. Based on my calculation, I will get over 70,000 miles of use on these tires. That is a 75% increase on my tire wear. These tires cost me $500 a piece. Thank you so much for bringing to my attention the Counteract Balancing Beads. Chuck Mortenson * We have received additionall reports of 1 ton Dodge and Ford pickups getting 10-14% fuel economy improvements as well as two off road Toyota's (over sized tires with lift kits on frame) that have reported improved fuel mileage, one of these trucks over 15%. I just installed your Counteract beads in my new RV tires. Where have you been? I cannot believe how well they work. Just after the first few miles, it felt like someone placed an air cushion between my tires and the interstate. I am now going to install the Counteract beads in my motorcycle trike tires. Outstanding product! Jack Gregory We have been using Counteract Balancing Beads for 1 year. Our fleet consists of 800 tractors and 1200 trailers and we use about a case of product a week. We switched to Counteract because we found that the competitors' product that we previously used was bonding to the aluminum rims close to the bead seating area of the tire causing corrosion. The wheel then had to be buffed with a steel wire wheel grinder to remove the material and corrosion. We have had no problems with Counteract and it does a great job for us. Our customers love it! I own a flatbed trucking company in Yankton S D and after many years of using the powder balancing stuff a friend of mine that works for a Goodyear tire company told me about Counteract . We have been using it in all of our tires since then, 3 years ago. We use it in steer tires , drive tires and trailer tires . I have seen about 50 percent better tire wear and the tires cap better as we have very little trouble with tire damage or failure . I also have seen about half a mile to the gallon improvement on fuel mileage . Plain and simple I would quit trucking before I would go back to the other stuff we used before and would never consider using anything other than Counteract Balancing Beads . Don't forget no powdery dust mess either . Thanks . Elton Wek I was asked to try COUNTERACT but was very skeptical as to its value with the program we had. The only real issue we were faced with was river wear on our front tires, which is normal with radial tires. We had to rotate our tires about 40,000 to 50,000 miles due to the wear pattern. Since we ran the same type of tires on the rear we just simply moved the fronts to the rear and rear to front. We installed the beads in our front tires. We did not let the driver know anything about what we were doing.
We started as one of the first companies in Russia to use Counteract Balancing Beads. We used them to perform tire balancing from our 24-hour Road Service Truck. At the beginning our customers bought the beads only to try them out. Now, transport companies and their drivers prefer balancing all truck tires with Counteract Balancing Beads. In particular, national bus transport companies just started using Counteract Balancing Beads and the feedback has been always excellent. Die GmbH, "Harwest" I think Counteract does the job 100%. We have over the road truck drivers who come in for it, they're tickled to death, some call and if we don't have it they won't buy the tires, so they believe in it too. Some of my older customers call and ask for Counteract balancing Beads. If you haven't got it they tell you they just can't buy any tires from you. We've been using Counteract for 7 years. We're probably one of the first operations in the area using it. We balance the drive wheels, most over the road crew balance all wheels. It's the real deal; it'll get it done. It will cap the sale every time. On behalf of Can-Truck Inc., I would like to thank Counteract Balancing Beads for the wonderful benefits of extended tire life and ride improvement. We operate a large fleet in the transportation sector and have greatly struggled with tire wear on our low deck trailers. At this time we feel we have doubled our tire life, which in turn has lead to great savings on our overall budget. We are so pleased that we have now moved to Counteract Balancing Beads in all our tires. Keep up the great work Counteract. I use it in my own trucks and I sell it as well. I have two 15' box vans loaded with supplies and Counteract. I balance all 6 of my 19.5 tires. I run about a one hundred mile radius of home. I've sold the competition products but I just like Counteract the best of all. I put it in my own truck and it does an excellent job for me on the steering axle and the drives. When that truck runs, it drives smooth with Counteract. It had weights on it when I bought it new but when I put about 5-6 thousand miles on it, you start getting little bumps on it. You don't notice that happening with Counteract. It still runs as smooth as it can be. I sell Counteract by the case. It's a fine product.

Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism
Just out of curiosity, what is it you guys would actually really want to do?
Imagine you had every aspect of your life taken care of and you didn't have to do anything, virtually every moment of your time could be spent doing whatever you wanted to. What would your life look like?
If I understood the question correctly, I'd say I'd give it my best shot trying to promote SDA to everyone in the world. My very biggest dream is a world where every individual on the planet is at a somewhat happy/peaceful state of mind, aware of the world around them and themselves. Capable of taking interest and action into steering the course of our species..
To simplify it, my biggest dream is a world where we all work together for a better future for our species instead of just playing king of the hill. And I honestly believe SDA is the first step towards that dream of mine. Being that someone who is an SDA has the potential and most likely will execute that potential of inspiring others to pick up SDA aswell, I can easily imagine it spreading through the masses over time. Like religions has done for so many years.
If that goal ever had been achieved within my lifetime and I virtually had absolutely nothing else to do then make time pass.. I'd invite my closest circle on an adventure around the world, visiting all its corners while doing stuff such as skydiving, basejumping, smoke a jay n get high in a no-gravity environment "which is my second biggest dream^^," go deepsea diving etc
I am already doing what I want, not fulltime though. Study many topics, health, history, economics, philosophy, psychology, changing focus to whatever topic really catches my attention at the time.
I would also be lerning how to dance, like I am doing right now, so I wouldn't change too much, maybe I would spend more money on eating healthy, going to street markets to buy my food, instead of discount markets, because I would have the time to do so. Oh well, on another thought, would it only be me? Or are in this hypothetical world all others with the same benefits.
Actually my wide range of interests would need more than one lifetime...
I actually have no clue.
I'm too single-minded to think about stuff like that, step for step..
Me too, but men need life goal, otherwise we all lose our way.
Study biology and industrial farming to increase food supply
I would colonize Mars, help people get better with people, distribute technology in order to improve people's lives accross the planet, distribute medicine and knowledge on how to improve lives through green technology, and ecological farming.
I think I would spend some more time every day working out, maybe become a writer or do some kind of web design because I get bored really soon if I don't work or do something. Usually when I have some days off I try to keep myself busy, but after 2-3 days I just can't stay at home or on vacation anymore, and those jobs would probably give me the right amount of free time I need.
1. Not do anything different that I'm doing now maybe cause things are not so bad.
2. Wake up every day, go to a lonely beach and listen either the water or some cool music.
3. Move to the highest tech place in the world.
i want to be present in the creation and live in a self-sufficient colony with open-minded people, who are willing to do science or thinking.
Of course it depends what the situation really is, if I am a King who let's say ruled the world. It's hard to answer that question, because it lack's needed ''data'' to help define it. But what ever life it would be, I think it would be borring, and it would lack something, something which could define me as a human being, but couldnt live up to.

I enjoy four types of meditation.
1. Walking Meditation, using the techniques of Thich Nhat Hanh, outdoors of course, usually in a fairly isolated area. This is 1-3 times a week, sometimes for hours at a time and it's the most amazing a healing form of meditation for me. Because of this practice, all solo hikes have become walking meditations, even if they're 8 hour hikes.
2.A few times a week I sit on a meditation pillow, light a candle and sometimes chant or pray quietly.I do this less often because I live with noisy people who knock on the door, etc...
3. A meditative bath-- candles and soaking. it works very well when I'm stressed.
4. Winter Mornings-- I have a full spectrum lamp and sit in front of it for a little while each morning. This is the perfect spot to meditate. I think of the sun and woodlands, the ocean, just visualize the outdoors... and it sets the tone for the whole day, really waking my spirit and connecting me.
I never try to banish any thoughts, but find they dissolve soon after starting. I would say I've gotten in at least 20 mins daily for the past decade. I am MUCH more relaxed as a person because of it.

How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."
(Updated on March 1, 2012)
Seeking a Signature
In this article, Venema offers his review of Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell.
From Intelligent Design to BioLogos
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
Science and the Question of God
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
Intelligent Design, Thomas Aquinas, and the Ubiquity of Final Causes
In this paper, Baylor philosophy professor Francis Beckwith distinguishes between Intelligent Design (ID) and Thomistic Design (TD).
Design in Nature
In this paper, adapted from an article from Science & Christian Belief, Dr. Oliver R. Barclay compares and contrasts the biblical view of design in nature with modern design arguments.
How Does a BioLogos model need to address the theological issues
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
How can evolution account for the complexity of life on earth today?
A complex biological structure with many interacting parts might appear, at first glance, as if it were originally created in its present form with all its interlocking components fully formed and intact. It doesn't seem possible that they developed step by step via biological evolution. In Darwin's Black Box, Michael Behe introduces a term that he and other proponents of Intelligent Design use for this concept: irreducible complexity.
Are gaps in scientific knowledge evidence for God?
Every field of science has unanswered questions and gaps in our understanding. Scientists typically view these as open research questions. Others sometimes argue that if science can't explain how something happened, then God must be the explanation. Such arguments are called "god-of-the-gaps" arguments. The risk in these arguments is that science is always developing. If gaps in scientific knowledge are the basis for belief in God, then as scientists fill in the gaps, the evidence for God disappears. The God of the Bible, however, is much more than a god of the gaps. Christians believe that God is always at work in the natural world, in the gaps as well as in the areas that science can explain.
What scientific evidence do we have about the first humans?
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.
Evolution and the Origin of Biological Information
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.

We have created a new column for La Lettre, "In the library of…" We will ask a variety of photographic personalities crazy about pictures and collectors of livres to tell us about ten of their favorite books. We are starting with Sara Rosen, one of New York's most prestigious press attachés.
Top Ten: My Favorite Photography Books
Miss Rosen
I began working as the assistant to the director of sales and marketing Rizzoli in 1999, my first job in illustrated book publishing. I knew next to nothing about books or photography when I began, but after spending nearly a year knee deep in luxurious monographs that I could never afford on my entry-level salary, I came to discover a love for photography titles. The more time I spent with these collections, the more these books became my personal photo albums with various images marking my progress through a new profession.
The first book to capture my heart was New York Noir: Crime Photos from the Daily News and was overcome with by emotions colored by time and style. These photographs of killers, corpses, and victims were at once hopelessly romantic and slickly sickening. I was drawn to the book's ability to cast me back to a time with tales that echo in eternity, using this evidence preserved for posterity, asking the age old question: Six million ways to die, choose one…
Or, as Kenneth Anger's Hollywood Babylon would have it, choose your own adventure. I had heard about Hollywood Babylon for years, but being the kind of person who seeks nothing, I did not purchase the book until it randomly crossed my path while browsing the shelves at Housing Works Bookstore. The tawdry and bawdy tales blew my mind, but it was the photographs that captured my soul. If I were truly fruity and went in for reincarnation, I would imagine myself some actor of this era living a debauched and delicious life with no past and no future. I think it's something about that desert air; it makes people do desperate things.
Having this penchant for the dark side of things, Boogie's It's All Good is one of the most chilling collections of photography I have seen. It's brutality lies in a familiarity, an ability to see the self in these stories and recognize the way in which environments define destinies. Poverty. Projects. Drugs. Guns. It's all about business, and it's all a set up that goes to the heart to the prison industrial complex and the people profiting off the Rockefeller drug laws. What is left are these images, these are stories of wasted lives that become shiningly vibrant and alive through acts of drama and destruction that are captured in these images. From the cradle to the grave, it's a short trip for too many people who are living out a brutal script.
On the flip, James Mollison's James & Other Apes is my favorite survivor story. I always root for the underdog when the underdog is an animal. Simians in particular set my heart pounding. The very familiarity of these creatures, the portraits' ability to capture the characters of its sitters, the crabby older male and the sparkly young female, a charming cast with personal stories of abuse and mistreatment at the hands of man. James & Other Apes serves to remind me that laws of humanity apply to all living creatures.
In the case of the deceased, I'd like to say a special R.I.P. to Nat Finkelstein, as his birthday is coming up January 17. He died in 2009, but I have discovered that he is in the ether and my relationship with him continues beyond his passing. We first met in 2000, when I started at powerHouse Books. Nat asked if I was the new intern. "Marketing Director," I huffed, indignant because for all intents and purposes, I'd only had one year of experience and was not much further along in my career. Nat's book, Andy Warhol: The Factory Years, 1964–1967, was my introduction to Pentagram. I didn't ever think about book design. Add to that Nat was a writer as well as a photographer, and his book becomes the ultimate the underground Warhol archive. Nat got written out of almost all the history; he was run out of the country in '67 and didn't return til the 80s (after the warrants had expired). But I digress. This book takes it back to the beginning, when Warhol actually put brush to canvas and pizza to mouth. PS: Nat was the one who introduced Warhol to Valerie Solanis. Yep.
The thing I really dig about New York is the way ever decade has its own vibe. Nat Finkelstein's swishy Sixties give way to Ron Galella's Disco Years and I feel like I was at the party after looking at these photos. And it's important to have been there because I didn't actually start going out until 1989, and even though I was out in clubs in the 90s, I just don't see a book on it. The glamorous life of Ron Galella was the essence of a New York City that has come and gone, and what remains are his photographs of a time and a place that have come to define a way of living inspires art, fashion, music, and taste.
In a parallel universe, Joe Conzo's Born in the Bronx tells the story of New York City's uptown underground, home of Hip Hop before anyone ever called it that. Joe's photographs, combined with Buddy Esquire's party flyers, document the birth of a culture, one that came from triumph in the face of "benign neglect." As the government allowed and institutionalized the destruction of a people and a place, Joe's work shows the human spirit in the face of adversity. From nothing comes something so powerful that people around the world embrace the culture in their own languages. More than a form of music, Hip Hop is a way of life. Joe's photographs remind us where it all began, and what it stood for in its formative years: peace, love, respect, and having fun.
Graffiti came of age around the same time and place as Hip Hop, yet it is not Hip Hop. Graffiti, as I imagine it, is a form of Antisocial Expressionism—an art of rebellion and adolescence that takes our impulse to leave a mark for all eternity and define itself through an ever evolving style. Subway Art by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant was not the first book on the subject, but it was by far the most influential. Published at a time when the government was putting forth the "broken windows" theory as a way to blame vandalism for major crime (rather than acknowledge the role economic policy played), Subway Art stood its ground against the haters and the naysayers, showing a new form of art, a self taught form that—like Hip Hop—made use of what was available to communicate with the world. The result was unexpected, and I am more than sure, unintended. Subway Art became the Bible of graffiti, introducing the art to kids around the world who quickly got busy busting out tags, throw ups, and pieces in their own towns. Never has an photography book had such an influence, making graffiti a virus that cannot be stopped, cannot be killed.
I seem to return to the subject of New York City over and over again but the first rule of writing is, write about what you know. I was browsing the tables at the Strand one day when I came upon Bernice Abbott and Douglas Levere's New York Changing. Partnering with the Abbott estate, Levere went back and reshot Abbott's photographs several decades later. The result was astounding. For all intents and purposes, New York is never the same and that is part of the magic of living in their crazy town. We see and feel the transitions as we live them, but as the years pass we acclimate to the new world in which we live. New York Changing takes this evolution one step further, and by skipping through history, we see the results of "progress." Neither good nor bad, neither right now wrong, but rather it is what it is—a brand new world.
The final book on my list is a one-of-a-kind collection I saved from my uncle's basement. It is my grandmother, Rose Rosen's personal photo album from 1948, documenting her courtship and marriage to my grandfather, and the birth of her first two children. That my uncle, the third child was not this book was the reason he gave it away—but I too am not in the book, and still I recognize its value. Rose, who died before I really got to know her, reveals herself through this book of photographs painstakingly attached with little photo corners. She writes pithy little captions, like "Look at the pretty handrail" next to a picture of her posing in a swimsuit on a flight of stairs. In perusing this book, I got to know a woman I never truly met, and saw a side of myself that exists nowhere else in my family. Cheesecake shots, glamour scenes, the proud mother and wife who was denied a career by her husband found other expressions of her creative energies. Rose Rosen is the only person in my family to share my penchant and my passion for photography books.

Some Cincinnati Council Members have serious problems with the subcontractors working on a major economic development project near the University of Cincinnati campus.
Cecil Thomas and Wendell Young visited the USquare at the Loop construction site last week and talked to some of the workers.
The council members alleged some of the subcontractors are not paying workers the state mandated prevailing wage and the employees are not paying city income taxes.
They said that's cost the city about $500,000 so far.

Elizabeth – Where Vultures Land (Throatruiner Records / I for Us Records, 04 April 2012)
I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but it's worth repeating: I have a lot of respect for bands and record labels who do what they do for the right reasons. Here, "the right reasons" are not to get rich and famous and live a life of luxury by taking advantage of people, but simply to create (for the bands) or disseminate (for labels) art based on a true passion for doing so. Now, I'm not saying that nobody should ever make money from their art — a lot of work goes into it and everyone involved totally deserves to recoup their expenses and bring in enough extra income to hopefully be able to continue what they are doing! But at a certain point, it seems like making a few dollars becomes more important than sharing a mutual love of music, and that is just a sad situation for anyone to be in.
Having said that, it's obvious Matthias Jungbluth of French (Breton) label Throatruiner Records is in this for the right reasons. Anyone who would start an extreme metal label nowadays has to know beforehand that they aren't going to be bringing in a ton of money, considering the state of the music industry these days, and so there must be some degree of passion for the art itself. The label specializes in small releases on vinyl or cassette, as well as some other merchandise, supplemented by free downloads of those releases in order to expose the artists to as many people as possible.
Packaged with the free download of an album from Throatruiner is the following text (contained in a file named "FVCK LARS ULRICH.rtf"):
Thanks for your download, we hope you will enjoy this record as much as we did! When I have started Throatruiner Records last year, one of my guidelines was to put all my releases on free download. Because the stuff i love should live without any boundaries. So if you want to support Throatruiner Records & our bands, please visit
and pick some stuff, we need it; and if you think we don't deserve any $, be kind, share this album with five of your friends!Sorry for your ears.
I've discovered a lot of great new music through this label, one example of which I'd like to share with you today.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (born 26 February 1954) is the prime minister of the Republic of Turkey.
- The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers...
- Erdogan was referring to the poem "The Soldiers Prayer," written (in 1912) by Turkish nationalist poet Ziya Gokalp, quoted in the British News Channel BBC News. [1]
- In other words, the bar should be maintained at the level of a pluralistic and participatory democracy.
- (2003), quoted in the Turkish journal The Turkish Weekly. [2]
- But foremost, I do not subscribe to the view that Islamic culture and democracy cannot be reconciled.
- (2003), quoted in the Turkish journal The Turkish Weekly. [3]
- Everyone should unconditionally accept that Israel is an indispensable element of the Middle Eastern mosaic.
- (2003), quoted in the Turkish journal The Turkish Weekly. [4]
- There exists an unmistakable demand in the Middle East and in the wider Muslim world for democratization.
- (2003), quoted in the British newspaper The Independent. [5]
- There are people who say that "Gül can't be my president". These people don't have good manners for and they should renounce their Turkish citizenship foremost this man will be chosen democratically by the people.
- (2007), quoted in the Turkish newspaper Haberturk. [6]
- We are all human beings. (original: Hepimiz insanız)
- (February, 2008) during his speech commemorating 9 Turkish arson victims in Ludwigshafen, Germany. [7]
- Mr. Peres, you are older than me. And your voice is very loud. I know that it is because you feel guilty. You better know that I will not sound that loud. And when killing is the case, you know how to kill very well. I know how you killed the children on the beaches, I know how you shot them. Two ex-prime ministers of your country once told me important things. You have had such prime ministers who said, "When I enter Palestine on a tank, I feel [in a different way] happy." You have had PMs who said to me "I feel happy when I am on a tank while entering Palestine." And you give me those numbers. I would release their names, in case some of you might be curious of. I also condemn those who acclaim this cruelty, because I think it is a crime against humanity as well.
- During a discussion panel at 2009 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. [8]
- Those who do not want to take a side will be eliminated (read as: irrelevant for) from the process.
- (2010), quoted in the Turkish newspaper the Todays Zaman. [9]
- Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel's Tomb were not and never will be Jewish sites.

GM of St. Pete TV station to retire in July
ST. PETERSBURG (AP) — The general manager of WTSP-Channel 10 in St. Petersburg has announced his retirement four years after arriving at the station.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that when Ken Tonning arrived in 2009, the CBS affiliate was struggling with change, including a switch to an online-inspired name — "10 Connects."
Under the tenure of 68-year-old Tonning, the station has returned to its "10 News" brand and has adopted a more aggressive style of journalism.
As an example of WTSP's new attitude, Tonning points to coverage last year of a legislative battle which could have cut funding to the University of South Florida. The station created the Twitter hashtag #SaveUSF and took a stand in its coverage against the nearly 60 percent cut.
Tonning plans to retire July 5.

Wolf Creek to perform at UCVTS FBLA "Project Hope"
Union County Vocational Technical Schools, 1776 Raritan Rd, Scotch Plains, NJ | Get Directions »
On Friday, February 1st the Union County Vo-Tech Schools' Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) club with hold their annual "Project Hope". The Union County Vo-Tech Schools are comprised of five full-time high schools (the Academy for Information Technology, the Vo-Tech HS, the Magnet HS, the Academy of Allied Health Sciences, and the Academy for the Performing Arts) on the Scotch Plains campus located at 1776 Raritan Road. The FBLA is the largest district student organization with 219 students representing all of the district's schools.
Project Hope is a one-night event in which money is raised for a charity combating an issue that the club believes
deserves greater recognition. This year the UCVTS FBLA is working with "OneSight" www.onesight.org/na/ to provide eye care, something many of us take for granted, to those who would not be able to obtain it under normal
circumstances. OneSight's mission is to provide healthy vision and eye wear to those in need worldwide. To date, OneSight has delivered primary vision care and distributed eye wear in 37 different countries, helping more than 3.5 million people. The UCVTS FBLA chapter hopes to help this number grow even larger.
The evening is organized by the student members. The student members rally the UCVTS "community" for this event each year - from students & faculty providing entertainment, to the vocational programs providing food,
decorations and technical support. This year's event will include a DJ, song and dance performances by the students from the Academy of Performing Arts, T-Shirt art, a fashion show, and a musical performance by the Scotch Plains-based band, Wolf Creek. This is the second consecutive year that Wolf Creek will have performed at "Project Hope".
Wolf Creek has been performing Classic Acoustic/Electric music since 2008. They have performed all over Union
County and incorporate many musical genres into their performances, such as rock, pop, country, and folk - from the sixties to today. They are comprised of: guitarist Frank DiProfio from Springfield, guitarist Ben LoBrace from Scotch Plains, drummer Don Rosenberg from Fanwood, and bassist Ron DelPrete from Scotch Plains. Ron Del Prete is also a Health & Phys. Ed. Teacher at the Academy
for Information Technology & the Union County Vo-Tech High School.
"Project Hope" is scheduled to run from 7PM-10PM. All are invited to enjoy this evening of entertainment and education while helping out a charitable cause! Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Tickets can be purchased in advance by contacting the UCVTS FBLA Advisor, Mrs. Janet Kneisel at email@example.com

Audie Award Nominee, Best Teens Category, 2013
Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come further than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaësia? And if so, at what cost?
This is the much-anticipated, astonishing conclusion to the worldwide bestselling Inheritance cycle.
©2011 Christopher Paolini (P)2011 Listening Library
I am a "Life is Awesome! Strive to be Worthy of it." student of life kind of guy. Feeding on Chaos and Empowering the Good. Group Hug!
"All the reviews had me worried for nothing!"
Seriously! after reading the reviews of this last book I almost decided not to read it. It was just as good as the previous three.
However, I do believe I understand now why everyone seem to slam it with a disappointing review.
Here is why:
I am sure you all have read many books in the past, and when you finally finish the series you start to imagine what would happen afterwards. Well in this last book it has that information. The book actually ended (In my opinion) about 3 quarters (or more) of the way through the book. In this audio version... at what I would have called the end of the book there is an addition 4.5 hours left, all of it about what happens afterwards.
Simply put about one (or two) chapters after the war with Galbatorix is over that is what I would call "The End:". The rest of it should have been called something else. The intensity of everything that had just happened can not be matched with the piddly administrative stuff that happens afterwards. It was interesting, and I enjoyed reading it. However if the book would have ended where I think it should have, they my last impressions of the book would have been "OMG! Wowness! Group Hug!". But if you are like so many others who have left those comments that are less then amazing, it is because they are judging their whole experience on the way the feel at the end of the book. Which like I said tapers off to Not so Amazing. In fact it went from "Group Hug" to just "ug"... :(
But I didn't let that ruin it for me. Because like I said the bug ended for me with "OMG! Wowness! Group Hug!" the rest was just the administrative stuff that happened afterwards.
Advice read until you find what you feel was the end, then close the book and say "OMG! Wowness!" Gloat on it a bit then when you ready to read about the administrative stuff afterwards open it up again and finish it.
I hope this helps. Group Hug!
"An unfortunate disappointment"
After waiting years for this conclusion to be published, it was a major disappointment. The only good thing to say about it was that the narrator did an outstanding job.
The story was horribly overblown. Paolini never missed a chance to use 100 words where 10 would have sufficed. But, the worst part was the incredibly disappointing ending. It is obvious that the author is young. He resorted to the prosaic comic book super hero ending where the super hero must sacrifice his own happiness for the good of all and give up any chance for love, family, friendship and a normal life.
As has been stated in other reviews, the ending also left a multitude of story threads dangling with no resolution. If this was merely a ploy to garner support for an outcry for a followup to resolve all these issues, he has lost me.
This was a weak and unnecessary ending to what could have been a powerful series.
"Great $th book to end the TRILOGY"
Nice ending but Christopher still is learning. He is a great young writer and I hope to see many more novels and especially series from him. He may even consider a future version of this series but I wont hold my breath. I enjoyed the books but the movie sucked and ruined the story.
Great ideas and good follow through but I dot see a huge future. I see a one series wonder.
There is no frigate like a book ~ E. Dickinson
"sizzle... sputter... *poof*"
It makes me very sad to say so, but frankly this series just sputtered and died for me. I liked Paolini's 1st and 3rd books, and I thought the 2nd wasn't bad either. Book 4 was a huge.... huge... disappointment. And I was really looking forward to it! [FYI, this is coming from the girl who thought the scene where they pick Hrothgar for king was fascinating, lol!]
There are some high points. Like one... or maybe two. But lets put it this way: 8 hours of Eragon killing 5 thousand helpless soldiers with sorrow in his heart ...OR... Roran mooning about Katrina while slicing and dicing humans into convenient cubes. Then ohmygranniespanties the middle of the book happens (and it has trouble rivaling said item of riveting attire). Then 9 hours are spent tying up loose ends (un-imaginativly, incompletely, and unsatisfactorily). Then the end music plays... and I, at least, was left with the feeling you get on 4th of July when it rains. No fireworks this time around, folks!
I think this series had a lot of potential. Shame Paolini wrote a bit better at 14 than at 27.
Recommendations? Suzzane Collins' 'The Hunger Games', Rafael Sabatini's 'Captain Blood' or 'Scaramouche', Jonathan Stroud's 'Bartimaeus' Series. For more, see my reviews.
"Mind numbing"
I can't believe that I am still listening to this series. I want it to end, but it just drones on and on and on..... Eragon, our
His voice range makes the book bearable.
Every other word. Detail is great, but this book makes me think that the author just needed a certain word count without regard to a good story.
"Good book but did not deliver everything"
It was a good book and enjoyable to listen to. Gerard Doyle gave his usual good performance though the book failed to tie up all of the loop holes and promises that had been set out in previous books. Overall a fair job at tying up the series.
316 audiobooks in my library and counting. I'm an addict but I'm not sure I'll ever seek help.
"Had to finish the series but it was painful"
The story went on and on in many places about nothing. Frankly, the author got too successful for his own good. An editor should've cut out a half of this book - at least, but since it's the eragon series, the editor probably was allowed to do little more than say whatever you think Chris. It's sad. There are elements that are entertaining, but only about one of every five minutes actually advanced the story.
He kept all the characters straight and remained true to their voices through out. The problem with this book is not the narrator.
It was the last book in the series... So if you've invested the time to red the first three, you pretty much have no choice but to finish the series. I wish I had better news about the quality of the experience though.
"Unpredictable is not always the answer..."
Very disappointed with the ending to this "cycle." It seemed as though the values of the people (Rider and Elves) changed for this book to have tragic ending.
I know it's popular to have unpredictabilty in a story, but it almost seemed as though it was forced that way and the decisions made would not be logical to the person that made them.
SPOILER ALERT!!! Really? Would Aria really have made he decision she did after the history of the Riders? The dragon she aquired needs formal training and so does Aria. Here's your dragon Aria, you can be the acception to rule that you need Rider training because you ae now the ruler of your people.
Aria finally cares for Eragon, but she will give that up as well to be the ruler of her people with an untrained dragon at her side.
I was really hoping that Glaida got Sephira pregnant during their last training session, which would have been logical being that they didn't remember about the remaining eggs. Okay, your race is about dead and you have the chance to increase the gene pool before you risk your life in battle, but you don't do it...why?
Anyway, no point to go on. Didn't make sense. I'm over it!
Well, the big battle scene with Roran was pretty good and the struggle against Galbatorix was okay. I was actually pretty excited for some good closure with this series given the fact that the book finds climax about 3/4 of the way through. Unfortunately, the story completely fell apart after that. What was Paolini thinking? Was it his goal for everybody to hate the ending? The last few hours of the audio book left me bewildered, angry, and yawning. Nothing happened in over 3 hours of audio. There is little chance I'll ever read a Christopher Paolini book again. If you read or listened to book 1 and book 2 you might as well finish but do not set your hopes very high or you will be also be disappointed.
"Long book, Forced ending"
The flow of this series has been very good until this book. I'm not sure what happened but it feels like the author lost inspiration. He tried to tie up story lines in a way that wasn't consistent with the world he had created. Other story lines he just left hanging. In my opinion an unfortunate ending to an otherwise enjoyable series.

As the title suggests the movie is black and white but two actors become colored in the b&w world. One of them accepts this but the other (the girl) begins to wear grey makeup to hide the fact that she is colorful. The whole movie was a huge criticism of society. I don't really remember much more. What could be this movie?

You are thinking of Pleasantville from 1998. A brother and sister from the 1990s are sucked into their television set and suddenly find themselves trapped in a 1950s style television show. Here they have loving parents, old fashioned values, and an overwhelming amount of innocence and naivete. Not sure how to get home, they integrate themselves into this "backwards" society and slowly bring some color to this black and white world. But as innocence fades, the two teens begin to wonder if their 90s outlook is really to be preferred. An awesome film, I might add. |

Jon Voight not going to be in Transformers:Revenge Of The Fallen.....what the hell?? If his character is still in TF2 I wonder who will be playing him. I hate actor changes in movies
In an interview with Collider.com, Jon Voight said he will NOT be in Transformers 2, contradicting a statement that he would be from Tyrese. I guess at that point Tyrese thought he was still going to be in it but that changed as since then Voight accepted the role of the villain for season 7 of 24 which will occupy an unknown amount of his time. This begs the question of who his "replacement" will be for the purpose of access to military assets.
The interview was conducted after the 2008 Saturn Awards where Transformers won Best Special Effects. The video interview is here. Thanks to Russell for the link and post title.
The highlights:
- "I am not in Transformers 2."
- Started 24 work that day, joined the show because fan of the show and Kiefer Sutherland.
- Knocked out by the finished work on Transformers and not surprised by its success.
- Impressed by the CGI, "fantastic, just fantastic."
- Praised Michael Bay for his work, "attention to detail...impressive imagination, a great sense of humor. He's got enormous personality on the set. It gets great results, gets everyone going..."

Infinityward's going all out to fix LAG problems in mw3
Like (0)
The news everybody has been waiting for!!! Earlier this evening i tweeted @ Infinitywards top guy Mark Rubin, about LAG in MW3.
He replyed almost immediately to tell me that from now on fixing the LAG has become the No1 priority and focus of the team at IW.
Hopefully this is going to be the end of most of the LAG problems we have incountered so far.
I see that on his twitter , but read more of his tweets ..He " they " are making matchmaking.host disadvantage,kimbo fmg's,and many more No.1 issues..And thats just today..I hope he's realy going to get some of this done but its been 7 months ( all of which hes been there , he not new)and all i see is hes doing the same thing 402 did and telling us what he thinks we want to hear.." we are working on it and its coming soon "
It's sad that people will take what's said on Twitter like it's the word of God or something.
All im doing is repeating what was said, he gave his word that the problem with LAG has got their undevided attention from now on.
Mark Rubin is the head of IW and all we can do is trust that he's telling the truth!
What else can we do but hope?
Just like everything on the Internet is true.
Yeah thats really constructive of you!
I hope this game and lag compensation is so bad the last few nites I'm ready to put it away! Mexican Latin connections are the worst. Some rooms are just unplayable the other team is like 2 seconds ahead of me! How I die and the killcam are two different things.
Now its number one? WTF did they fix in the last 7 months?
They fixed people not having more dumbsh*t to throw money at.... Obviously... God - are you new at COD or something . Also they needed to work super hard, like night and day to implement another couple prestiges (becase that's the only way any one can have fun, and creating a new account is totally not the same thing guy). I don't know if you know this, but adding in more prestiges with the same emblem but changing numbers, that's on the same level as landing people on Mars. I think we all need to cut them some slack, I for one am sitting here throwing money at my TV so I would appreciate if they gave me somewhere to mindlessly direct it.
They have no choice but to say that. It may or may not be true. Yet the rate that DLC is sold is pitiful right now.
Its too late in this games life now that black ops 2 is going to be coming out in like 5 months, the game is dead to me
Trollololololololol !
Santa is working on it...
Ha! I'll believe it when I see it. IMO, they are just money grubbing whores that will do anything to get that extra dollar out of your pocket. Did they mention a timeline? Bet not, cause it's not going to happen. Maybe it will, but by then BOPS2 will be out and I'll be moving on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah we knew this a few days ago.. might want to save time tweeting and just read the last few pages of the hotfix/tutle update thread
i'll beleive when i see the change.
Yeah plenty of trolls, people that like to be condisending wankers etc.
Welcome to the forum.
It's good you put it on here, I don't bother with that shite called tw@atter so I wouldn't have known, but like Frank2069 wrote, Wank Ops 2 will be out soon so don't get your hopes up.
I'd love to believe it, but like a lot of people, I've lost faith in the game. All the money thay had off us and they take this long to finally say "Hey we'll fix it".
It's so frustrating when you get wankers that brag how much they beat you by, they just don't understand the connection issues this game has. If we swapped connections with them they would be like W T F every ten seconds when they were getting BS killed.
i couldnt agree more, just hoping i get 6 months of gaming on a level playing field like what we paid our money for last november.
thanks for the welcome!
Another fob off even black ops sorted its problems by now......If you bought a car and it performed like this you would of taken it back by now and kicked off...Its a total disgrace...
Damn activision for ruining the IW team. Had IW not been turned upsidedown before this game was made im sure the old IW team would have made a much better and more consistant game.
uhhh, sorry to break the news to you guy but they have been saying this is the #1 priority since the game dropped... black ops 2 is around the corner and my bet is they wont even get it done by that time.
Mark Rubin can suck a fat piece of barbwire. this game is broken.

What's New for Windows Phone Development with the XNA Framework?

Slides (view online)The XNA Framework vastly simplifies the building of cool interactive games on Windows Phone, and in the next release, we'll be making it even better by adding full Silverlight/XNA interoperability. In this session we'll show you just how this will work, and how it can unlock a whole new world of end user scenarios for XNA and Silverlight developers alike.
I need this tools now :D
Great talk!!
Really really sorry to hear this is compatibility is only for Windows Phone, you are loosing the 3 screens and a cloud and should really have made decided to make this feature for Windows and Xbox to.
Then again scaling a silverlight UI might not be that handy. Developpers should have a way to use different overlays of the UI depending on the screen size and input mechanisme (touch, keyboard, gamepad). Also, that would be announcing Silverlight for the Xbox and you don't want to that clearly (although I was really expecting it).
My point: this feature should be on all 3 platforms! It would make it harder to implement for you guys but would really spice sliverlight up! This is also really confusing with the new 3D API's in Silverlight and XNA API's compatibility. Why is the 3D stuff in Silverlight desktop/browser not just XNA ?
Excellent presentation, amazing technology.
Good talk. I'm looking forward to using this as I think it (combined with the new GC) fixes two of the biggest problems in developing graphical applications for WP7.
One tip for the presenter: stop doing that air quotes thing
@CKurt : I'm sure they will bring this to the other 2 platforms... be patient !
It's a bit like with "offloading to the GPU", they found out that it was great to speed up the browsing experience, then they started to do that on the Phone too... it'll be the same with this... I'm sure !
@Brian Hudson: nice and interesting talk... can't wait for the new Dev Tools...

A fire at the Flamingo Motel on Groesbeck Highway south of 14 Mile Road in Fraser gutted three rooms and caused extensive water and smoke damage to adjoining rooms, Department of Public Safety Lt. Dan Kolke said Thursday morning.
Weve been busy lately, Kolke said. This is the fifth fire in Fraser since Dec. 20 but none are related. We dont have an arsonist going around.
Firefighters spent much of the early morning extinguishing hot spots. Kolke said his firefighters were waiting for a back hoe to arrive to knock down the burned structure and get rid of the debris so they could make sure the hot spots dont erupt again.
Koklke said firefighters were greeted to flames and smoke coming out of a unit on the far north side of the Flamingo. They immediately evacuated all of the rooms including 15 to 20 people, he said.
People were in the rooms, including the one where the flames were coming out, Kolke said. Smoke was coming into several of the rooms from their vents.
When we arrived the wind was blowing right in our faces.
Two firefighters were rushed to McLaren hospital in Mount Clemens. They were treated and released after suffering from smoke inhalation.
Theyll be OK, Kolke said. There was no way to avoid the smoke.
Kolke said he knows where the fire started but doesnt yet know the cause.
