We had four great nights at the Caroline House. We found Ashley and Michael to be very accommodating hosts. The house was convenient to every place we went in Nashville. The breakfasts were delicious and unique. They were provided by local restaurants so you got a taste of local flavor.
We loved our stay of three nights. Everything was just a few minutes away - great food and shopping. Franklin is so wonderful and this B&B was great. Will definitely stay there again!
All around outstanding
We had a great time at the Caroline House! We stayed for July 4th weekend and it was a blast. Ashley Rose, the owner, gave us so many good tips on where to go, where to eat and where to be. She was very personable and texted us everything thing we needed. The Carolina House itself is located in a great neighborhood. Lots of great old craftsmen style homes and the 12 South Area is a 5 minute walk away. We actually walked there two nights and had a great time at several places but our favorite local restaurant was Josephine's! I'd highly recommend Carolina House. Our room upstairs was great. Breakfast was awesome! We look at the menu the day before and select whatever we wanted it was fantastic! The front porch is great for coffee and the backyard is great with a fireplace and the room to play with Desty the golden retriever mascot!
Our stay was absolutely phenomenal! Had a little envelope waiting on us with our name and the check in and out was super easy. It was so nice and private that we never had to bother with anyone, which is great when it's your wedding night!! The home is beautiful and rich with history and tasteful design. We will definitely stay again!
The Caroline House is a great place to stay while visiting Nashville. The house is absolutely gorgeous. Everything provided to us was first class. The beds are comfortable, there are white noise machines throughout that provide for a very quiet stay. The breakfast that was made for us was excellent. Ashley is also so willing to help with any suggestions we needed on restaurants, transportation, places to visit, etc. I felt right at home during my stay. I will definitely be back! Thanks Ashley & Michael for everything.
We loved the Caroline house for our anniversary stay in Nashville. We often stay in bed and breakfasts and my husband and I feel that this has been one of the best! Ashley and Michael were the most gracious hosts and completely knowledgeable and accommodating in every way. The house is impeccable in design, beauty, and accommodations. The neighborhood is safe and close to lots of restaurants, coffee shops and stores!
We were delighted with our experience at the Caroline House! Greeted with southern hospitality in a beautifully renovated home, slept like babies in uber comfy beds and white noise machines, enjoyed a delicious breakfast everyday and had easy access to downtown. We'll return every time we take a trip to Nashville!
Had the whole house to ourselves. Greeted by friend of innkeeper, but didn't see a soul until breakfast next morning. Second day, briefly talked with owner. Did not see a soul for the rest of the day. The next morning, were told by owner that breakfast would not be served, and we were comped and had to go to town to get breakfast. Just an unusual stay...haven't experienced this at a b and b before. Not a bad thing, just different.
Everything about staying there was great. It is very close to all there is to do in downtown Franklin.
Ashley and Michael of the Caroline House run a perfect B&B. Perfectly located in an historic part of town with great restaurants in and local bus routes in easy walking distance. Highly recommended and a definite "do-over".
This was our first time at a bed and breakfast and we couldn't have been more pleased! The home is beautiful and the owners were very friendly and gracious. We knew we wanted to be within walking distance of the shops and restaurants downtown and spent two days walking the beautiful town of Franklin! Loved it and will definitely return when we come back this way from Wisconsin!
Proprietor Ashley Rose attends to all the details that make a lovely and enjoyable experience. Located in a quiet tree-lined historic district just minutes from the city, the Caroline House is walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping. We highly recommend.
We stayed here during a road trip through Tennessee. This was one of the best parts of our trip! The Inn is gorgeous inside and out and the staff went above and beyond for us. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We were welcomed to a delicious breakfast the next morning. Anytime I come near Nashville, I will definitely be staying here!
I have already recommended to friends and neighbors, because my stay was excellent in every way.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the host and hostess. Very warm and welcoming. Would definitely stay there again and will recommend to my friends.
This was an amazing house and location to stay in Nashville. The host and hostess were very kind and gracious with their home. We enjoyed every minute and will definitely stay at Caroline House again.
Wonderful stay at Caroline House, Ashley & Michael are very welcoming, friendly & knowledgeable hosts, alongside their super-friendly dog Dusty. My girlfriend & I wanted for nothing whilst we were there and spent a couple of very relaxing and enjoyable days in Nashville, which were definitely enhanced by our stay at Caroline House. Located in an excellent neighbourhood within easy reach of Downtown or The Gulch, I would highly recommend Caroline House to anyone wanting to stay in the Nashville area.
Lovely home, warm welcome, delicious breakfast and great location! We enjoyed our weekend stay at the Caroline House Nashville Historic Inn while visiting our son at Vanderbilt. Helpful dining suggestions and interesting Nashville history, comfortable at home feeling!
Were able to handle our request for a gluten free breakfast for my wife.
The Caroline House is wonderful place to stay! Had a great experience!
This is cozy, comfortable and down right charming Bed & Breakfast in the Nashville 12 South district. You will be within walking distance of great restaurants and a short Uber to all the Nashville entertainment options. Ashley is a wonderful host who made us feel welcome and made sure we had our choice of places to go and things to see. We will definitely be back on our next trip.
We loved our stay at Caroline House. Beautiful home, comfy beds and linens. Loved sitting on the huge front porch and comfy back patio. Delicious breakfast including homemade cinnamon rolls. Woke up to the smell of them baking in the oven. Great location-- easy walk to restaurants, shops. We walked to the bike rental and had an easy ride downtown to the historical Ryman auditorium. Ashley was ready to toast me with a glass of champagne because it was my birthday.
Great new B&B. Close to the city if you want to go downtown, yet quite enough to not notice you are in the city. Food was outstanding. Inn keeper very organized and efficient from booking to menu selection.
We just had a long weekend in Nashville and loved staying at Caroline House B&B! Ashley, Michael and their dog Desty were sweet and friendly. Ashley's knowledge of fun outings in Nashville gave us many options. The B&B is a couple of blocks to a local business area with shops & restaurants and just a short Lyft ride to downtown. We would absolutely stay there again!
We came for a girls weekend away and had a wonderful time! Neither of had been to Nashville before and after a whirlwind trip getting there we were more than welcomed by Ashley! She gave us great recommendations for everything and had a fantastic trip away. Looking forward to our next trip back!
Wonderful time in a beautiful town. Everything about our stay was great!
The Carolina House in Nashville is an absolutely wonderful & inviting B&B. We were absolutely delighted with the accommodations & the warm hospitality of Ashley Rose. It was such a special place to spend a long weekend! We would highly recommend it! Also, Ashley makes the best cinnamon rolls that I've ever had in my life (which was a treat on Sunday morning!)
We found this bed and breakfast late in the day after our other accommodations unexpectedly fell through. It looked closed, but we made a phone call and the owner, Bud, arrived in minutes to show us the Inn. He was very sympathetic regarding our situation and later and took it upon himself to see it resolved. Breakfast was served at 8:00 the next morning and we were greeted downstairs by Bud and his wife, Barbara. They were very gracious hosts, as sweet as could be and made us feel like family in their own home. Breakfast was delicious every morning and served on antique fine china. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. Bud and Barbara definitely took our desperate situation and made it into a vacation that we won't forget. It didn't take long to feel relaxed again! The Inn is right off the square and we were able to walk to many things nearby. This is a place that felt like home and we will definitely stay here again the next time we visit the Franklin/Nashville area.
Ashley's house is beautiful and comfortable, and she was friendly and attentive. We loved our stay at The Caroline House and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Nashville! The towels were fluffy, the room was beautiful, the breakfast was delicious (and the cinnamon rolls TO DIE FOR), and the pup was adorable. We really lucked out! We absolutely hope to stay at The Caroline House again next time we make our way to Music City.

Anyway, here's the reason for my review title: Women Sims get about 4 shirts in their general wardrobe, men get the same (but the clothes are rather hideous, as usual), and you get a little under 20 new items to 'decorate' your town. That equals about 25 new items for $20. The preloaded buildings (five in all; a library, a laundromat, a cafe called Nibbles that serves nauseating food to your celebrity Sim just about EVERY TIME, a gym, and a Prep school for kids)-- two being 'rabbit-holes.' The buildings are pretty, but with the exception of the Prep school, I have seen better looking buildings in Custom Content, but I would never suggest downloading CC unless you're comfortable with it.
So I liked the game enough to purchase it (at a discount from Amazon, of course), but I knew this was only a filler for the time-gap between now and Pets to arrive in October. Therefore, you should probably wait to buy the bulk at a discount or if you are a die-hard, you can buy it now but don't expect anything that you can't get from the Sims 3 website.
And the washer/dryer is the same item offered for sale in the store (so please don't be fooled by the "all-new" washer/dryer combo on the front packaging either).
Total waste of time and money, as usual. "Stuff Packs" are a couple useless trinkets for $20. In this case, they also added the washing machines that I *already bought* from The Sims 3 online store. So, that was another complete waste of money.
Therefore, EA has taught me a valuable lesson: I WILL NEVER BUY FROM THE ONLINE STORE or STUFF PACKS AGAIN.
Also, when I installed, they patched my game to version 1.23. However, none of the official delta patches I could find links to will upgrade from 1.23 to the latest, 1.24. So, this required me to download the 680.2MB comprehensive patch.
Recommendation: update the base game to 1.24 before installing this. You'll probably only need a ~90MB delta patch.
Better recommendation: Don't buy this.
When will diehards stop buying Stuff Packs? This one just did. A couple hairstyles, touched-up venues, and a paltry few outfits. All for just $20. Oh, look, it's a much better deal than buying from the online store. Yes, it is. But just because a terrible deal is better than a horrible deal doesn't negate the fact that it's still a terrible deal!
By the way, this Stuff Pack only takes up 133MB on the DVD-ROM it's shipped on. The other 1.7GB is for Mac + PC patches to get you to 1.23, which you probably don't want if you can help it.
So I am a true die hard sims player. I play a couple hours daily (or every other day).
This pack is probably the worse stuff pack since fastlane.
Very few things, I think a few outfits, a couple hair styles, some items and some new public places.
The public places are nice, the Gym, restaurant, a park, Laundry mat & Library, I all liked those (there is also a new produce store and another store I believe)
They are nice but really something that any avid player can create.
The new items are alright but there is only about 15 or so (if that)
I am pretty disappointed in this one. I think I might not get stuff pack anymore, seems to be a bit of a waste. I dont mind buying it if there is more items but this is very little.
The good thing about the new buildings (cafe, gym, laundromat, etc.) is that they are small lots (20 x 30), with the exception of the school. You can either replace some buildings in an existing town or make room for all. If you choose to have two schools in the area, it works like real life - your Sim goes to the one closest to his/her house. However if your Sim works at the school, he/she now has the option for which school he/she would like to work.
Of course there are new objects that you can use even at home - tread mill, lap top, washer, dryer, etc. alongside a couple of new hairstyles and clothes.
For a stuff pack, it is what it is supposed to be - stuff. Nothing extremely big (ex: seasons, new neighborhoods) should ever be expected from one because that is the expansion pack's job.
Overall, it is not the worst thing ever (it's only $20); you may find it boring if you have no interest in bettering your town.
I do not regret buying it, but I give it only three stars because it was a good concept, but having just buildings (but upgraded) we already have in the game should not have been it. They should have had those but a couple of really new buildings like a bowling alley. Also why there are new items as mentioned, they are not anything brand new or bigger.

The critically acclaimed production of Green Day's hit musical, American Idiot, will be performing a special 'Rock-A-Long' performance for one night only on Thursday 8 September 2016. Following the huge success of last year's event, audience members are encouraged to 'ROCK OUT' with the cast, following the musical's return to its London home at the Arts Theatre in July.
When turning up to see Impossible last week, I didn't quite know what to expect. But my friend and I were immediately swept up in the fun and exciting atmosphere of the occasion.
Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company today announced that Freddie Fox will be joining the company of Romeo and Juliet, sharing the role of Romeo with Richard Madden. This is to allow Richard Madden sufficient time for his injured ankle to continue to heal and because his doctors have prescribed rest between performances.
Card ticks, mind reading, fire, danger and the winner of Britain's Got Talent are just some of the acts on offer at the Noel Coward in magic show Impossible.
Daring with enough cheese thrown in to make it a fun night Impossible returns to the West End with a variety of new magicians and daredevils. It is a variety of magic show rather than a magic or variety show but it takes a long while to build.
Impossible, currently playing a very limited run at the Noel Coward Theatre in London, is a superbly confusing display of illusions and tricks. Even for a bit of a cynic, like myself, the show is undeniably impressive. The great thing about Impossible is that it features all sorts of tricks – from cards, to mind-reading, to large stunts (and a lot of fire). So, whether there is a specific sort of "magic" that you particularly enjoy, or if you want to see a bit of everything and decide what you like later, this show will do the job. It is fast-paced, exciting, and confusing – perfect!

We know that losing packets is not a good thing; retransmissions cause delays. We also know that TCP ensures reliable data delivery, masking the impact of packet loss. So why are some applications seemingly unaffected by the same packet loss rate that seems to cripple others? From a performance analysis perspective, how do you understand the relevance of packet loss and avoid chasing red herrings?
In Part II, we examined two closely related constraints - bandwidth and congestion. In Part III, we discussed TCP slow-start and introduced the Congestion Window (CWD). In Part IV, we'll focus on packet loss, continuing the concepts from these two previous entries.
TCP Reliability
TCP ensures reliable delivery of data through its sliding window approach to managing byte sequences and acknowledgements; among other things, this sequencing allows a receiver to inform the sender of missing data caused by packet loss in multi-packet flows. Independently, a sender may detect packet loss through the expiration of its retransmission timer. We will look at the behavior and performance penalty associated with each of these cases; generally, the impact of packet loss will depend on both the characteristics of the flow and the position of the dropped packet within the flow.
The Retransmission Timer
Each packet a node sends is associated with a retransmission timer; if the timer expires before the sent data has been acknowledged, it is considered lost and retransmitted. There are two important characteristics of the retransmission timer that relate to performance. First, the default value for the initial retransmission timeout (RTO) is almost always 3000 milliseconds; this is adjusted to a more reasonable value as TCP observes actual path round-trip times. Second, the timeout value is doubled for subsequent retransmissions of a packet.
In small flows (a common characteristic of chatty operations - like web pages), the retransmission timer is the method used to detect packet loss. Consider a request or reply message of just 1000 bytes, sent in a single packet; if this packet is dropped, there will of course be no acknowledgement; the receiver has no idea the packet was sent. If the packet is dropped early in the life of a TCP connection - perhaps one of the SYN packets during the TCP 3-way handshake, or an initial GET request or a 304 Not Modified response - the dropped packet will be retransmitted only after 3 seconds have elapsed.
Triple Duplicate ACK
Within larger flows, a dropped packet may be detected before the retransmission time expires if the sender receives three duplicate ACKs; this is generally more efficient (faster) than waiting for the retransmission timer to expire. As the receiving node receives packets that are out of sequence (i.e., after the missing packet data should have been seen), it sends duplicate ACKs, the acknowledgement number repeatedly referencing the expected (missing) packet data. When the sending node receives the third duplicate ACK, it assumes the packet was in fact lost (not just delayed) and retransmits it. This event causes the sender to assume network congestion, reducing its congestion window by 50% to allow congestion to subside. Slow-start begins to increase the CWD from that new value, using a relatively conservative congestion avoidance ramp.
As an example, consider a server sending a large file to a client; the sending node is ramping up through slow-start. As the CWD reaches 24, earlier packet loss is detected via a triple duplicate ACK; the lost data is retransmitted, and the CWD is reduced to 12. Slow-start resumes from this point in its congestion avoidance mode.
While arguments abound about the inefficiency of existing congestion avoidance approaches, especially on high-speed networks, you can expect to see this behavior in today's networks.
Transaction Trace Illustration
Identifying retransmission timeouts using merged trace files is generally quite straightforward; we have proof the packet has been lost (because we see it on the sending side and not on the receiving side), and we know the delay between the dropped and retransmitted packets at the sending node. The Delta column in the Error Table indicates the retransmission delay.
Error Table entry showing a 3-second retransmission delay caused by a retransmission timeout (RTO)
For larger flows, you can illustrate the effect of dropped packets on the sender's Congestion Window by using the Time Plot view. For Series 1, graph the sender's Frames in Transit; this is essentially the CWD. For Series 2, graph the Cumulative Error Count in both directions. As errors (retransmitted packets or out-of-sequence packets) occur, the CWD will be reduced by about 50%.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Our friends at The Yoga Space are offering a unique retreat experience from July1-4. Days of yoga, good vegetarian food, interesting healing and nourishing workshops and the joy of a beautiful New Hampshire setting. Check out details at: www.theyogaspace.com.
Monadnock Mindfulness Practice Center Meditation sessions:
Monday, 6:30-7:30pm
Tuesday, 6:30-7:30pm
Wednesday, 8:00-9:00am
Friday, Mindful Yoga, 5:00-6:15pm
Since 2002, The Monadnock Mindfulness Practice Center has provided the Keene, New Hampshire community a quiet environment to learn and practice mindfulness, the art of bringing one's full attention to the present moment. Deepening this practice during meditation sessions –– as well as in daily life –– helps to develop a calm and openhearted approach to living through challenging times and circumstances. In addition, the practice of mindfulness enhances clarity, deepening our understanding of self and others while opening the capacity to make a positive difference in the world around us.
Open four days a week, the Center has welcomed as many as 1200 people a year. Individuals who attend sessions come from all walks of life in our community. Basic instruction is provided for all levels of experience with meditation. Sessions are one hour with the first 45 minutes spent in silent meditation, followed by a 15 minute period for optional discussion or continued meditation. Chairs, cushions and benches are provided.
The Center is funded by donations of the participants. No one will be turned away for lack of adequate funds.
The Center is not associated with any particular religious or faith community. Rather it is a conscious practice that can support other belief systems or stand alone.

If we're to believe older whispers from the rumor mill, Intel won't add native USB 3.0 support to its chipsets until next year. However, DigiTimes now reports that the chipmaker has a stand-alone USB 3.0 controller up its sleeve—and that device's arrival could help accelerate the transition to the new interface.
DigiTimes doesn't add much, stating only that Intel will release the stand-alone controller some time in 2010. If true, Intel will end up competing against NEC, whose USB 3.0 controllers have appeared in many recent motherboards, as well as VIA and ASMedia. According to the site's sources at motherboard makers, competition between Intel and those players will be one of the factors speeding up the transition.
Of course, USB 3.0 has already materialized in a decent quantity of motherboards. Gigabyte, for instance, has a whole lineup of USB 3.0-capable mobos at many price points, and we were able to choose them pretty much universally in our latest system guide. Asus, too, offers relatively affordable USB 3.0 mobos like the M4A7785TD-V EVO/U3S6, and MSI has jumped on the bandwagon with a $125 AMD 890GX offering.

HOUSTON-PM Realty Group's Q3 Houston Office Market Report pointed to continued strength throughout the metro region, noting that high employment growth continues to drive office space demand. Specifically, direct net absorption during the quarter totaled a little more than 2.1 million square feet, bringing the year-to-date total to 3.7 million square feet.
Furthermore, class A direct occupancy rates stood at 90.2%, moving up 110 basis points within the past year to reach a six-year high. The report points out, however, that class B was no slouch in the leasing department either – though direct occupancy rates declined by 30 basis points to 84.3% (due to new space deliveries outpacing demand), the class experienced a 50-basis point improvement during the past year.
To no one's surprise, the Katy Freeway/Energy Corridor led the way in construction and leasing activity, posting close to 1.1 million square feet of direct absorption growth so far in 2013, and 723,577 square feet for the quarter. Following is the FM 1960 submarket (northwest), which recorded 491,088 square feet of direct absorption and The Woodlands/Conroe, which posted 340,308 square feet of direct absorption. Occupancies in these submarkets stood at 91.9%, 91,3% and 90.3%, respectively.
PMRG forecasts that continued leasing demand will drive rental rates higher in the active submarket, while scheduled new deliveries will help tenants in their search for quality space. Furthermore, the report points out that as tenants are demanding more amenities and controlled environments to assist with recruitment and retention, many older buildings are undergoing renovations and repositioning to keep up with the quality of new construction arriving on the market.

Swedish Court: Wikipedia Hosting Photos Of Public Artwork Is Copyright Infringement For Some Reason

Re: But Artists Need To Get Paid !
i guess i don't get it: wasn't this basically work-for-hire, such that if public monies paid for the artwork, and it was publicly owned, on public property, within public view (presumably being the whole point of public display), then how could the 'public' (government body) NOT own the artwork and all attendant rights ? ? ?
i suppose it is possible the public could pay the artist's and yet the artist have a contract to retain all rights, blah blah blah... how that works on a so-called public work of art, then seems totally at odds with the very concept...
BUT, that still obviates the idea of OTHER individuals taking their own pictures of public art, and how THAT becomes the property of the original artist...

EXCELLENT points, which show -once again- how they directly and indirectly work AGAINST the furtherance of culture (such as it is)...
however, i would take issue with 'most people accept' that the present draconian copyright/trademark/patent/etc laws are 'just the way it is'...
in rebuttal:
A. 'most' people don't know shit about shit, especially when it comes to copyright, etc...
B. *some* may know it is a morass and there are all kinds of restrictions, etc; but *probably* NOT what they are, because, WHO DOES ? ? ?
C. very few have read up on the practical ins-and-outs of the law, if not the technical aspects, etc, that a number of writers and readers here who follow these issues closely may know about...
(again, the complexity is such that specialized lawyers in the field can argue both sides against the middle, and reverse it next week to suit the application... how is a mere layperson to navigate such troublesome legal waters ?)
D. on the other paw, i think it would surprise just about No One that rich and powerful entities/people get the long end of the stick, and the poor get the short end (on their head)...

as i recall, i think he ultimately prevailed, legal-wise, but not sure if anyone was ever able to use nullification ideas work there, or much of anywhere...
(*Too Lazy Too Google)
recently, there was a teeny, tiny, eensy, teensy 'victory over (in)justice system' of sorts, where a jury 'nullified' 'interfering with a donut eater' or some such claptrap, because she stepped between her dog and a goon with a gun and a badge who was about to shoot the dog (oh, and get this, kop later testified it was SOP to shoot the dog!)...
she was arrested on a bunch of shit, video showed the kop was totally lying in his arrest record/testimony (OF COURSE, no repercussions!), and the jury had a moment of sanity and found her not-guilty...

LTE Amplify and Forward Relaying for Indoor Coverage Extension
In many countries more than 70 % of the traffic on cellular networks originates or terminates inside buildings. Driven by an increasing demand for mobile data services, the iPhone effect, this number is expected to rise even higher within the next years. When rolling out new systems addressing high speed data needs, e.g. LTE or HSPA+, a cost effective solution is explored by extending the outdoor macro coverage to in-side. In order to reduce the building penetration path loss, a relay can be used in an Amplify and Forward (AF) or Decode and Forward (DF) operation for improving the signal quality. The benefits of a DF relay on the achievable LTE downlink indoor coverage extension has been demonstrated.

Patience (bvdub's Oceans Everlasting) 2. Replicator As we mark a milestone in the career of Vector Lovers which sees the ten year anniversary of the project, we at Soma Records are proud to bring you the first single from the forth coming album iPhonica (so called as the whole album was created on the iPhone!). Featuring a spectacular remix of 'Patience' from Dutch wonder producer Bvdub backed up by the deep and trippy 'Replicator'. bvdub's remix opens the EP in truly ambient form as lush, epic pads sweep through the opening layered with ethereal voices. The track quickly picks up the pace as a broken, almost two step beat works out over deep sub bass as more vocal trips allow this track to ebb and flow perfectly. Not content to let this track simply clock out, Bvdub continues to push this track beyond the limits as a gritty baseline permeates the layers of ambience and crisp drums making this one of our most epic remixes to date. Replicant is pure Vector Lovers at his best, A pulsating bass rhythm kick off the track, dropping down in to a perfect four to the floor beat. Syncopated vocal cuts trip the track out while haunting pads flow through adding an air of mystery while expertly timed fills help kick this track onto the dance floor. This EP perfectly balances Vector Lovers' machine funk with bvdub's masterful rendition of Patience making us all the more eager to unleash iPhonice to the world.

Skip to comments.GOP making bold play for US Senate seat in Oregon
Posted on 04/20/2014 10:40:06 AM PDT by Olog-hai
The GOP is making a bold play for a U.S. Senate seat in reliably Democratic Oregon, where a Republican hasnt been elected to a statewide office in more than a decade.
Republicans back in Washington think theyve found the right candidate in Monica Wehby, a childrens brain surgeon whos raised more than $1 million and put her early opposition to President Barack Obamas health care law at the center of her campaign. [ ]
Wehby faces four other Republicans, most notably state Rep. Jason Conger of Bend, a lawyer whos promoting his conservative credentials and his experience representing a district that, like the state as a whole, favors Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
I've seen her ads....I'd better look into this and do something.
Waiting to hear what Impy has to say about this. Actually I'm anxious to hear what Impy has to say about this race.
We need a Dr. Welby there, and her name is close enough.
Conger is performing BETTER than Wehby, but the establishment wants an abort candidate
Obviously a fire and brimstone Republican would be better, but that's not an easy task in a state like Oregon. At the very least, she may well be able to force the Dems to supply money to what would normally be a no-brainer race.
The public employee unions manage to override everyone else and vote themselves a raise during the worst part of the recession.
That's what we have to deal with here.
oops.....MANAGED, not manage.
Agree...it certainly won't be easy there.
That makes me nervous...
She's pro-Abortion. F her.
But not surprising. From the story: "(Wehby) supports same-sex marriage and says the federal government shouldn't be involved in abortion, although she says she's personally opposed."
Sounds like the kind of candidate the establishment would love.
Like find someone who doesn't kill babies.
Yes, many libs past child-bearing age will say they're personally opposed.
Planned Parenthood Blasts Dr Monica Wehby's Anti-Abortion Guest---Sen Tom Coburn
WILLAMETTE WEEK NEWS, March 13th, 2014, By AARON MESH
Dr. Monica Wehby, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, and a pediatric neurosurgeon, is catching ire for inviting an anti-abortion Senator (Coburn is a pro-life doctor) to speak at her Oregon fundraising events.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon demanded today that Wehby "sever ties" with U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma). "Monica Wehby should sever ties with Senator Coburn immediately and tell Oregon voters where she stands on womens health," says Laura Terrill Patten, executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Oregon.
"Does she agree with Senator Coburn that providers of safe and legal abortion should face the death penalty," Patten continues, "and that a survivor of rape should be forced to carry a pregnancy caused by her attacker?"
Wehby invited Coburn as a special guest to three fundraising eventsincluding a $1,500-a-plate dinner in Portland.
Wehby is running in the Republican pimary for U.S. Senate, and is a leading contender to challenge Sen. Jeff "Keep your plan" Merkley (D-Oregon). ####
As far back as 2008, at the presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama advanced his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act"
QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if youve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All Im going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. Youll still have choice of doctor.
Repeated over and over again---with Obama's promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.
LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930-40's ERA EUROPE Obama And the Dems marched in lockstep.....the persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
QUOTING SEN. JEFF MERKLEY (D-Oreg): [E]nsuring that those who like their insurance get to keep it The HELP Committee bill sets forward a historic Democrat plan that will, for the first time in American history, give every American access to affordable health coverage, reduce costs, and increase choice, while ensuring that those who like their insurance get to keep it. (Sen. Merkley, Press Release, 7/15/09)
This is for the campaign. After that, she goes back to being a flip-flop Romney clone.
So she's pro abortion?? That's a deal killer for me.....at least in the primary.
Yeah-—she is considered a RINO. We need to keep emphasizing her pro-life credentials -— as the way to super-glue her to them. Plus she is anti-Obamacare.
Bear in mind, the political ground keeps shifting as we type-—what w/ Obama's numbers diving into oblivion and Democrats scared ****less about losing.
Amazingly the RNC filed suit against the IRS on behalf of targeted conservatives.
If Wehby wins, it will not be RINO business as usual.
She's thinks the government should not regulate abortion. That's pro-abortion. Who cares that a post-menopausal woman is "personally opposed" (other than God)?
Conger has virtually declared war on Lars Larson, who is easily one the most popular conservative radio hosts with a three hour regional and a three hour national show five days a week.
Lars Larson asked Conger questions about his law firm making money off of the Oregon version of obamacare, which he voted for. Conger cannot seam to get around to answering the question.
If you're a conservative in Oregon and cannot get Lars Larson on your side, you are toast. Fighting Lars Larson doomed his campaign, IMHO, the day he declared that he would never go on Lars' show ever again.
Conger also voted for the Columbia River Crossing bridge that included light rail and would actually reduce the volume of cars that could use it and create a huge toll for users.
Conger also voted for a convention center in Portland that would never make money and would compete with the private sector.
I know Jason Conger and like him a lot. He lives in my district. His voting record leaves a lot to be desired if you are a serious conservative, as I am.
As for him being slightly more against abortion that Wehby is will not matter unless you think the republicans are going to run on repealing Roe v. Wade.
Conger is right on gun control and abortion. I think Wehby is also. She's going to have at least five times the money to finance her campaign as Conger. I predict Wehby will win the nomination going away.
I like Conger but I wouldn't mind Wehby. OK, she is for abortion and gay marriage, but would you rather have a Marxist who'll be 100% support of Obama or Wehby would will check Obama on major issues.
How do RINOs "check" Marxist Democrats ?
It's simple: Wehby is the liberal establishment candidate, and Conger isn't. Conger does better in polling against Merkley. The RINO Establishment perpetually backs losers in Senate races. They cost us more than 10 seats alone in the past two cycles.
pro-life doctor running as Republican for Senate in Oregon
That means that some issues I won't compromise on, which includes states rights, taxes and gun rights. Other issues is not going to make me let a Marxist in just because a candidate is not 100% on the litmus test.
If you are going to stay home because candidate X is not 100% conservative, you are going to let Candidate Y who would agree with Obama 100% of the time win?
I'm going to vote for the most conservative candidate. That means if they a different view on abortion or gay marriage, but the same views as me on issues I mostly care about, I'll vote for them.
I still want to defeat Liberals and RINOs...
Really? Well.
Merkley was elected in 2008 with 49%, if everyone who voted for the Constitution party candidate had voted for incumbent Republican Gordon Smith, he'd have been reelected. Smith I would say, is to this lady's right. I supported his reelection but he did invite a challenge from the right by drifting further to the left and praising Obama in attempt to appeal to swing voters. Pathetic election, Merkley was a border-line second tier candidate. Smith was preferable to the pair of RINO Senators OR used to have, Hatfield and Packwood.
Anyway, Dr. Wehby been getting a great deal of hype, I'm always skeptical of hype-heavy candidates, tea party and RINO alike.
She kind of reminds me in that sense of Dr. Steve Sauerberg, the candidate that IL RINOs recruited to run against Durbin in 2008. The difference of course is that no one outside the state took his candidacy seriously because beating Durbin in 2008 was an impossibility and indeed Durbin handed him his ass (the guy was a lousy candidate, he won the primary with only 56% against 2 pathetic opponents).
Unlike that race, this race is winnable, more Republican state, much more Republican year, less entrenched rat. But I have to say I'm not optimistic. Of all the winnable races this one is dead last, other than maybe Virginia.
In addition to being pro-choice she's given the typical vague answers that RINOs who have never run for office before give on shamnesty and gay marriage. I presume she's for both but is reluctant to say so and piss off conservatives, or she doesn't give a damn and is afraid of taking a conservative position.
Very troubling was her stance on Obamacare, that repealing it is impossible so let's "revamp" it change it to the watered-down version that a President McCain would have passed. Finally realizing that Obamacare is THE issue of this election she's flipped flopped and is speaking strongly against it. I don't think she knows what the hell she is doing.
Conger seems a decent candidate, an elected official, not some random person. She has way more money than him though, and Wyden has a great deal more than she does. We'd need big bucks to beat him.m not optimistic. Of all the winnable races this one is dead last, other than maybe Virginia.
I will not support a pro-abortion candidate. Period. Compromise with evil is still evil.
A poll showed
Merkley 47% Conger 40%
Merkley 46% Wehby 34%
Wehby is being pushed (and funded) by the Rovians. She's a pro-abort, and her candidacy should be aborted. Conger may not win, but he has a better shot than this Susan Collins wannabe.
Really? Well
Thanks for the insight on the OR race.
As to "Really? Well" I can't resist reminding you that, as our Designated Chief Election Guru, you have certain responsibilities that I am sure you are aware of. Without our regular dose of Impy-Wisdom come election-time life just wouldn't be worth living.
OK. Perhaps I exaggerate a bit but hopefully you get my point. So I would like to recommend you pull out that Ping List of yours, put me on it if it's not already there and start feeding us the real dope.
Sincerely, IP
I am not going to vote for Marxists or RINOs.
Being pro-abortion is, at minimum, a severe character flaw.
The bottom line for those of you who don't have a problem with the slaughter of the unborn: every single time we elect one of these pro-abortion "Republicans," they turn out to be soft on taxes, spending, guns, etc., etc.
That figures, the voters are never as fond of these "electable" RINO recruits as the party bosses and talking heads are.
I wasn't aware I was promoted to CHIEF!. ;D
I'll be sure to ping you to my quasi-intelligent analyses from here on.
But it shows Rove's hypocrisy.
"We need strong, experienced candidates instead of outsiders who've never been in politics, otherwise we lose"
And so he backs an outsider who has never been in politics over an established politician. It's not about electability with Rove. That's where he is exposed as a BS contortionist. He wants RINOs. PERIOD.
I think perceived electablilty is a primary factor in who he chooses to support.
In this case he and the other chumps that are backing Wehby ascribe to the falsehood that only a "moderate" can win in Oregon, even if she has no freaking idea how to run a campaign. I attribute that more to stupidity than anything else.
Also mentioned in that poll you posted, rat Governor Kitzhaber leads his main challenger, State Rep. Dennis Richardson by only 46%-43%. We haven't won that Governorship since 1982, only Washington (last win that wasn't recounted away was in 1980) has gone longer without a Republican Governor.
Everyone stays home in Oregon, all ballots are by mail. Fraud Free too. :)
I don't know where you derive "single issue" from my post. I said electing RINOs does nothing to combat the Democrat agenda. All they do is further it and continue to inflict damage on the Conservative agenda and the GOP. If you want to "defeat" liberals/RINOs, you don't vote for them.
I can guarantee you if they're pro-abort, they're not going to be with us on much else. How many social liberals are fiscal Conservatives ? Those are ideologies at odds with the other.
Although Washington State pretty clearly elected a Republican Governor in 2004. Gotta love that rodent fraud, what would they do without it ?
(Of course, if you removed King & Multnomah Counties from WA & OR, the GOP would be winning most races statewide)
WA and OR and 2 more states I'd like to redraw. Connect Portland and Seattle in one state and leave the other one GOP-leaning.
