Skip to comments.Perrys Patronage Problem : Donors have reaped benefits, but theres a lot of transparency in Texas
Posted on 08/23/2011 7:13:40 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Since his announcement for the presidency, there have been a slew of articles, left, right, and center, decrying Rick Perrys cronyism his supposed habit of rewarding his biggest donors with patronage positions or valuable state contracts. So is the criticism fair?
Perry is a legendary fundraiser, and his preferred method is sticking with the big game. He has raised $37 million over the last decade from just 150 people, per the Los Angeles Times. Expand the list to the top 200 or so donors and you get $51 million, per The Nation. Thats already more than the total amount raised by George W. Bush in two campaigns as Texas governor, and just over half of Perrys total haul of $101 million since his first campaign.
Accumulating all this cash has certainly left the governor with favors to return, and return them he has, say critics. The case most often cited is that of billionaire Harold Simmons, who donated a total of $1.12 million to Perry and in turn secured permission to build a radioactive disposal site in west Texas. Not only did Simmons successfully lobby to have state law changed so that a private company such as his could obtain the requisite license, he also made sure the law would allow the granting of only one such license. Moreover, the license itself was approved by the Perry-appointed commissioners of the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality, and the review process was overseen by the executive director they hired: one Glenn Shankle, who within six months of signing off on the waste facility left TCEQ and secured a lobbying contract worth up to $150,000 in Simmonss outfit.
As Glenn Davis a TCEQ staffer who resigned in protest over what he claimed were irregularities in the approval process put it in an interview with The Texas Observer, Even the Mafia was more cirucmspect than this.
And theres more where Simmons came from. Take B. J. Red McCombs, who gave Perry $400,000, and received $25 million in subsidies to build a Formula One racetrack near Austin. Or James Dannenbaum, who gave more than $320,000 to Perry, and in turn received multiple transportation contracts from the state. Or the more than half of Perry-appointed university regents who have donated money to his campaign. Or the Texas Enterprise Fund, which awarded millions in grants to corporate donors (to little avail, according to critics). And on it goes.
But even as the headlines can and should remain a significant factor as conservative opinion-makers and the primary electorate vet Perry for his presidential run, a look at the institutional and political context of Perrys governorship reveals that there may be less to the Perry-as-crony-capitalist story than meets the eye. Here are five reasons why:
1. The Texas governor is constitutionally weak, sharing authority with a number of other statewide elected officials, including the lieutenant governor, the attorney general, the comptroller, and various commissioners. Perrys personality, his bully pulpit, and his long tenure in office (Texas has no term limits) have helped turn him into the strongest weak governor in America, and so too have the appointments Perry makes to the approximately 200 boards, commissions, and agencies he oversees within the state appointments that have come to be used as strategic leverage for advancing the governors policy agenda.
Its a legitimate use of power, says Joshua Trevino, a vice president at the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), a free-market 501(c)(3) think tank based in Austin. Theres nothing [Perry] is vested with in terms of patronage power or appointment power that would be out of place in the federal government itself. Or indeed in many other states. And as with governors in many other states . . .
2. Perrys decisions are constrained. Cash grants from controversial programs like the Texas Enterprise Fund require approval of the independently elected lieutenant governor and speaker of the house, not just the governor. Most executive appointments require approval of two-thirds of the states senate, and informally many require senatorial courtesy the approval of the senator from the appointees home district. As such, the vast majority of Perrys appointments require a buy-in from Democrats. Furthermore, commissioners and other appointees serve staggered terms, and Texas governors are proscribed from replacing their predecessors picks. Then again . . .
3. Perry has been around so long that virtually every appointed official in the state was appointed by him. Even commissioners who serve six-year terms, even commissioners who were originally appointed by George W. Bush or Ann Richards, have been re-appointed by Perry. This both ups the sample size of appointments for critics to scrutinize and amplifies the chance that Perrys friends and benefactors will be appointed.
You typically dont appoint to positions of trust your opponents. That usually doesnt happen, chuckles Michael Quinn Sullivan, president of the Empower Texans Foundation and a major figure in conservative circles. [Governors] usually appoint successful citizens who they are friends with, and that often translates to people who contributed to their campaigns. Which leads us to the fact that . . .
4. Perry operates in the light of day. True, there are no limits on individual contributions to candidates in Texas, but the state has long banned corporate donations, and records for individual donors are easily obtained (which is surely part of the reason that so many stories have been written on Perrys donors). The state maintains an exhaustive electronic database of finance and lobbying activities, and it even had a delinquent-filers list. All of which is to say that . . .
5. Perry is not (yet) Rod Blagojevich. Conspicuously missing from the Perry stories is any suggestion that Perry himself has done anything unlawful. If this were a real charge, as Sullivan puts it, Mr. Democratic Strategist Who Hates Rick Perry would take his case to the FBI and not the Washington Post. All the commissioners Perry appointed and all the commissions that have awarded money to Perry donors have conducted their business in accordance with the states open-records laws.
Nor is there a sense among free-market Texans that Perry let quid pro quo dominate his economic policies to the detriment of the state.
Part of the focus on Perrys alleged cronyism may be due to the increased focus among the conservative electorate on the distinction between free-market policies and corporatist policies. But speaking for TPPF, Trevino says, We have found the governor to be an ally on [free-market] issues, and nothing I have seen in the last week has changed my opinion on that.
Even Sullivan, who affirms his groups long-held opposition to corporate giveaways like the Texas Enterprise Fund, says that even though he cant stand them, we seem to be running those stupid things better than other states.

You can keep posting this drivel all day long every day and it isn't going to stop Perry from being the next President.
That's what I found so troubling about the Gardisil incident.
- He can be bought
- He is willing to subvert the elected legislature and throw my rights under the bus in order to deliver the payoff.
Goverment funded private ventures it's only bad when a Democrat does.
Rick Perry will do more to ruin the image of Christians and move the Republican base to the left than any other candidate before him if he gets elected.
RE: You can keep posting this drivel all day long every day and it isnt going to stop Perry from being the next President.
I am posting this for discussion. We need to know the background of whoever is going to be our next President regardless of who he/she is.
Eternal Vigilance my friend — that is the price of liberty.
No, a (successful) used car salesman makes a profit. Rick uses taxpayer money to subsidize losses. Rick is a hustler with other people's money.
If that's your goal, why are you not posting negative articles about any of the other candidates?
One might start thinking you don't really see any of the other candidates as a threat, so there is no need in attacking them...
I'd sure like to know who his campaign team consists of.
RE: If thats your goal, why are you not posting negative articles about any of the other candidates?
You might want to check the archives and my posts about Michele Bachmann.
You seem to be saying that we should only post positive things about candidates and IGNORE anything negative about them. Why is that?
What I find interesting about this "story" is that Houston homebuildr Bob Perry is not mentioned.......
If you can find anything about Mitt Romney, by all means, please post it for all to see. We'd all like to see the product before we buy it.
I'm not seeing this as a particularly negative column. Quite the opposite. In a nutshell the column states that Perry appoints people he knows and trust to administer their individual departments or agencies. He does it out in the open. Sounds like smart management to me which is one of the major reasons Texas is in much better financial shape than most other states.
If thats your goal, why are you not posting negative articles about any of the other candidates?
One might start thinking you dont really see any of the other candidates as a threat, so there is no need in attacking them...
You got that right.
Texas jobs are being taken by ILLEGALS.......the very same border-violators Perry wants to gift with amnesty. The US needs a President who will CUT spending, and STOP illegal immigration....... not more business as usual.
THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL Anyone who dares shine the light of truth on Perry results in being labeled pro-obama.........called a troll and a "Paultard."

THE REALLY BAD NEWS--resurrecting the neocons Perry has been endorsed by neocon guru (Fox talking head), Bill Kristol.
Yikes. Neocons and Perry--what could possibly go wrong? (/snix). A-n-o-t-h-e-r several trillion tax dollars into Mideast hellholes?
Ah, it was only yesterday (before 2010 Midterms) that Billy Kristol was humming the neocon theme song, "The Decline and Fall of American Conservatism." KRISTOL WROTE: The art of government is to translate the liberal or radical impulse into enduring institutions, which in a constitutional republic means that neocons want socialist ends to be achieved with conservative means.
So how did Rick Perry and the neocons meet, and live happily ever after?
Remember when Rick endorsed Rooty Giuliani?
Fox talker Billy Kristol's father----neocon Irving Kristol (now deceased)----was Giuliani's "foreign policy advisor."
As Irving famously wrote: "The historical task and political purpose of neoconservatism is.....to convert the Republican Party and American conservatism in general, against their respective wills, into a new kind of conservative politics suitable to governing a modern democracy."
Neocons favorite sports: (1) kicking so/con Repubs to the curb, (2) religious cleansing of the Repub party.
When I see the justifications the Perry followers give I understand clearly who this slide to the left happens.
I was going to say essentially the same thing then I read your post. You said it so much better than I would have however. :-)
Even here on FR,there is more support because of personality than because of conservative principles. The posts by some Palin supporters are very much cultist. Perry supporters posts are full of Texan bravado and spin. Romney Posts and Guilianni posts were much the same. Many FReepers never bought in to the Tea Party theme that we needed conservative change, not just change more conservative than Obama. That's the weak, effete, Republican elite's position, "we're pretty, we're rich, and we're better than Obama". It's a selffullfilling prophesy when you don't support someone because they don't have enough support. This is what I believe is happening to Bachmann.
Whoever gets the Republican nomination, if they are not conservative enough to get the Tea Party people to rally around them, there will be a third party candidate which, in all likelihood, will mean an Obama victory. I hope the Republicans learned from the Perot candidacy, when the establishment Republicans turned a deaf ear to the legitimate complaints of Perot supporters. If not, the same, ruling class Republican elites will be to blame for Obama's second term.
Ridiculous. Don't you know Perry is the second coming of Chuck Norris?
"I think there is a path to citizenship for
those young men and women ILLEGAL ALIENS who have served their country," Perry said.
THEIR COUNTRY?! Perry thinks America is THEIR COUNTRY?!
Perry wants to give ILLEGAL aliens citizenship
In 2001, Perry signed into law the very first Texas Dream ACT. It allowed the children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at any Texas university. Perry defended the Texas Dream ACT, saying, To punish these young Texans for their parents' actions is not what America has always been about.
Perry then jetted off to Mexico and bragged to the Mexicans that Texas passed this law, saying, The message is simple, educacion es el futuro, y si se puede. Education is the future, and yes we can.
Rick Perrys immigration problem
In February 2007, Perry signed a shocking executive order forcing every sixth-grade girl to submit to a three-jab regimen of the Gardasil vaccine. He also forced state health officials to make the vaccine available "free" to girls ages 9 to 18. The drug, promoted by manufacturer Merck as an effective shield against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus (HPV) and genital warts, as well as cervical cancer, had only been approved by the Food and Drug Administration eight months prior to Perry's edict.
Perry defenders pointed to a bogus "opt-out" provision in his mandate "to protect the right of parents to be the final authority on their children's health care." But requiring parents to seek the government's permission to keep an untested drug out of their kids' veins is a plain usurpation of their authority. Translation: Ask your bureaucratic overlord to determine if a Gardasil waiver is right for you.
Libertarians and social conservatives alike slammed Perry's reckless disregard for parental rights and individual liberty. The Republican-dominated legislature also balked. In May 2007, both chambers passed bills overturning the governor's unilaterally imposed health order.
Perry's vaccine order exposed lapse in political, policy judgments Rick Perrys Superficial Extremism The Texas governors record doesnt live up to his rhetoric.
The Gardasil debacle is just one of many concerns a wide range of grass-roots conservative activists have about Perrys record as governor. Hes soft on illegal immigration despite a few recent nods to border enforcement. Hes prone to crony capitalism. And as the vaccine mandate scandal shows, he demonstrated Nanny State tendencies that are anathema to Tea Party core principles.
Once again, the Perry campaign proves my point about the non-walkback-walkback. If Perry erred on the side of life, what his campaign continues to suggest is that those who opposed his Gardasil mandate from the beginning chose death. Instead of renouncing the human shield demagoguery he engaged it after the repeal, the Perry campaign has doubled-down. There is nothing nothing Tea Party about this.
The Gardasil debacle is a useful red flag on Perrys basic political instincts, judgment, core values, and trust. It is no surprise given his ties to Merck that Perry is a consummate practitioner of corporate welfare public-private partnerships.
Plumbing the rest of the Perry record
Perrys campaign website lists the Trans-Texas Corridor as one of his accomplishments. But is it something Perry really wants broadcast as an achievement? The Texas Republican Partys 2010 platform includes a plank specifically opposing the Trans-Texas Corridor.

Rick Perry has a very questionable past. But one thing is not in question and that is Rick Perry is NOT conservative!
If Perry were as great as Perry supporters say he is they would welcome all discussion. But you know confidence is lacking when they try to discourage discourse.
I don't think Perry is great. With apologies to Winston Churchill: Rick Perry is the worst candidate we have to run against Obama - except for all the others.
" THE REALLY BAD NEWS—resurrecting the neocons Perry has been endorsed by neocon guru (Fox talking head), Bill Kristol. "
One more nail in the Perry coffin....
Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when the pukeneos discuss Perry in their inner sanctums?
Might sound something like this:
"Man, we lucked out. Perry is a bigger dupe then Bush. Watta tool. The guy will do anything to be president."
Kristol and Barnes both came out in support of amnesty years ago......and it was years ago that I quit watching Fox News : )

Have you seen this? It is scary.
Prior to Gov.Perry announcing his run for Republican candidacy, I had read about the "jobs" created in Texas being mainly transient, low-paying jobs in construction and agriculture filled by illegal aliens.
Texas's economic record would be much more impressive if these jobs were solid, family-wage jobs, held by legal residents and that contributed to a stable community.
It isn't hard to tell, but I am not enthusiastic about Perry's run for the Presidency. He is a Globalist and big statist, and Texas under his governership has had budget busting years.
I'm a Texan, and NOT a Perry supporter.
That said, all of this hysteria is absurd.
Perry is not a leftist. He's just a very good, ethically compromised, sleazy politican. Run-of-the-mill,in it for personal gain, with a good haircut.
Post #2 said it well.
Relax. He is absolutely not who we need right now. However, were he to be elected, he won't do much damage and will likely be fairly ineffective once outside his home turf.
Jobs situation in Texas is much better than elsewhere.
I'm here. I know.
They aren't just low-paying jobs. Energy, tech, and business sectors are doing well, but are still impacted by the overall national mess.
Perry, however, takes credit for a business climate that is not his to claim. We have limited government and limited government interference. These pre-dated Perry.
The credit goes to Texas, not the current governor.

BUMP! (President and Congress) DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
Men naturally rebel against the injustice of which they are victims. Thus, when plunder is organized by law for the profit of those who make the law, all the plundered classes try somehow to enter by peaceful or revolutionary means into the making of laws. According to their degree of enlightenment, these plundered classes may propose one of two entirely different purposes when they attempt to attain political power: Either they may wish to stop lawful plunder, or they may wish to share in it.
Woe to the nation when this latter purpose prevails among the mass victims of lawful plunder when they, in turn, seize the power to make laws!
As soon as the plundered classes gain political power, they establish a system of reprisals against other classes. They do not abolish legal plunder. (This objective would demand more enlightenment than they possess.) Instead, they emulate their evil predecessors by participating in this legal plunder, even though it is against their own interests.
It is as if it were necessary, before a reign of justice appears, for everyone to suffer a cruel retribution some for their evilness, and some for their lack of understanding.
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

(I call Paulers, Paulers, btw.)
Our jobs are not low paying. Our average wage and annual salaries are right in the middle of the US, and are in the top 5 or 6 fastest growing of the states. That's while we add 1/3 of the new jobs in the US and absorb 750,000 new legal immigrants from all over the Nation.
Do a search on FReeRepublic for "Texas jobs" for more info.
I lived in Texas. No amount of money would entice me to ever move back.
That's fine with us.
However, the "budget busting years are another lie spread by Texas haters.
On our state debt:
More on our jobs - we have recovered.
And the Governor wrote in his book, "Fed Up,"
" People vote with their feet We are doing something right, and that is making Texas an attractive place. So pardon us if we dont care to change our ways to mirror New York, California, or Michigan." (location 449 Kindle edition)
"For the years 2010-2011, our budget is just over $180 billion. Of that. 36 percent, or just $65 billion is money Texans pay in taxes to Washington, and that is sent back with countless strings to tell us how to spend it." (location 660, kindle edition)
Why would you need to be a fly on the wall when you can make everything up like this?
You're wasting your efforts on me. I know enough about his lies.
No way is this life-long conservative Republican going to vote for Perry for president.
He can be bought
For $6000? I don't think so.
He was Algores campaign manager that is enough for me to run away.
Who are you rooting for?
Regardless, you and I aren't the only ones reading that Texas has a very impressive jobs and spending record, that we absorbed 3/4 of a million legal immigrants from across the US, all the while spending $100 million or more every year to try to control the border and more than that on illegal aliens that ICE dumps in our back yard.
We have 11 ICE detention centers and Homeland security has been dropping deportation cases for years, gifting Texas with the people they refuse to deport. We also get the people that the Border patrol brings to Texas from other States in order to "process" their deportation - we even get them from Tucson! http://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/021110_bus/ The deported cross the border, turn around and come right back.
"No way is this life-long conservative Republican going to vote for Perry for president."
The battle for a conservative nominee is NOW.
Next November, it will be a battle for the soul, and very future of the United States.
If you think America can survive another four years of Obama, then STAY HOME, because you aren't a true conservative anyway.
Otherwise, get off your butt and start WORKING for a Conservative nominee, now.
Both Perry and Algore changed a LOT but we wouldn't want those facts to get in the way of your marathon run, would we?
I was born a conservative. But that is not the only thing that bothers me about Perry. He said he would not run for president in order to win the primary he lied. Plus not standing with Arizona on the border and mandated vaccine.
About those Texans and their counterfeiting; The Governor heard about them, too. And set out to make their crime less likely. He was unable to get the sanctuary cities bill through, but we got voter ID and a law against giving illegal aliens drivers licenses.
Issues2000.org's summary of the Governor's 2009 State of the State Address:
End the notion of sanctuary cities
As we continue to strengthen our border, we must also consider the essential role that federal immigration policy, or the lack thereof, plays in the safety of our citizens and integrity of our state.
After revelations that a Dallas man had set up a cottage industry procuring Texas driver licenses for illegal aliens hailing from countries around the world, I am an even stronger supporter of the DPS initiative to issue specialized, vertical driver licenses, to identify those who have overstayed their visa.
I also support an end to the notion of sanctuary cities. Local government sends the wrong message when they pick and choose what laws they want their peace officers to enforce.
We should also track the citizenship status of those receiving state-funded services so we can get our hands around the financial impact of Washington's failure to handle the immigration challenge. Some may oppose these efforts, but they are commonsense approaches to protecting our citizens' lives and resources.

David Beckham has revealed his children are incredibly competitive despite their privileged upbringing.
David Beckham's children are incredibly competitive.
The 36-year-old soccer superstar and his pop star-turned-fashion designer wife have both been successful in their careers but David says having a privileged upbringing hasn't made his sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and Cruz, six, spoilt.
David - who also has a seven-month-old daughter Harper with Victoria - said: "It would be easy for our kids to sit back and not work for anything, but they're not like that. They're as competitive as Victoria and me. We're very lucky with our boys: They want to win. They want to work at something. They know their values. That's the way we've brought them up so far, and that's the way we'll continue to bring them up.
David, 36, also still has a strong work ethic and says being told he can't do something only makes him more determined.
He explained to America's Men's Health magazine: "I am a very stubborn person. I think it's helped me over my career. I'm sure it has hindered me at times as well, but not too many times. I know that if I set my mind to something, even if people are saying I can't do it, I will achieve it.
"Even at 36, I'm still running 12 miles a game. [But] I've definitely become more aware on the field. I know what my limits are, what I can achieve, and which passes I can play. I have adapted to my age."
Although he is one of the most famous men in the world, David claims he has very few friends and he prefers to spend time with his family.
He added: "I've got friends at the different teams I've played for, but family is the most important thing to me. That will always be the case. I've got my wife. I've got my four kids. I've got parents, grandparents still, and three really good friends. It's all you need. I'd rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends."

This Sucksthis is the worse thing yoyu will ever buy. my hair is so damaged its unbelievable and i used serum. my ends are all broken and mybangs are fried. they are unreparable. im so happy i ruined a lot of my hair with this piece of trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!May 3, 2007Anjel / Dport Fl

Love ItI am a hairdresser from Tampa Florida, I have been doing hair for 9 years, I own 4 corioliss irons, a wet to dry a 1 inch a 1.5 inch and a pro silver, I LOVE all of them, I was working with a chi iron before and I did like that one also but this one seems to work alot better, it runs through any hair type I use it on with no problem, to the people that wrote bad reviews, maybe you should watch your hairdresser and how they use the iron, or maybe if you bought it from a kiosk and when they did it it did a much better job, you should probably try doing it the same way they do, the main problem is that people go home wnd run the iron through there hair so fast and expect magic, Now maybe if you try sectioning off your hair and following each piece slowly with a comb after the iron then you would get the "hair salon " result your looking for not the dry frizzyness of a person that doesnt know how to straighten there hair or just doesnt have the patience to take there time gets....Take my advice this iron is great, you just need to know how to use it...........I HIGHLY RECOMMMEND IT.....Also for the ones that said it broke after a month, sometimes electronics malfunction, one of mine fell on the floor and broke and I went straight to the kiosk I bought it from and they replaced it right there with no questions asked....Mar 24, 2007Chloe / Tampa, FL

Awesome...with One Draw BackThe Corioliss straightening iron Wet To Dry is awesome. For 25 years I have been searching for a product that would make my hair straight and silky....I finally found it. Wish it would have been around in the 80s! Some advice....although the iron works great on wet hair....be careful....after a couple of times using the iron on wet hair, your hair will have a bad smell (especially if you sweat or go out in the rain). My suggestion...let your hair dry naturally and then straighten.Jan 15, 2007Tammy / Fort Worth, Texas

Rip OffPaid $180.00 for this and regret it. There is supposed to be steam coming out while I am straightening my hair, yet it doesnt happen. I felt ripped off and will never again make the mistake of purchasing something from a stand-up store in a mall (especially Woodfield Mall, IL). The fact there is no refund should have been a red flag, but I figured Id live dangerously. What a mistake!My hair is still frizzy, the ends look horrible and my $60.00 straightening iron works better than this piece of crap. You would be an idiot to purchase this.Dec 14, 2006Lynda Becker / Chicago, IL

Good Buyim glad i bought this... its so cool to be able to obtain straight hair right out of the shower!!! it really works!! no lie... of course, it still takes me a long time to do my hair cuz its really long but its worth it to me! ive even noticed that after using the iron, my hair behaves better when it is curly.. weird but true. It seems like it doesnt frizz up as much... another thing that is true is that it does leave your hair very, very shiny! I definitely recommend it!Oct 13, 2006Val / Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Not CheapI have VERY thick hair and a lot of it. This iron took me about 20 minutes to mostly straighten it. The ends dont look as finished as Id like them to look. I paid $180 and then saw it on E-Bay for half of what I paid, so Im irked at the price. However, it takes my hairdresser, who has done my hair for 14 years at least 45 minutes to get slightly better results. Its a good iron, but not too affordable.Oct 11, 2006Anne Mcmanimon / Holland, PA

Corioliss Wet To Dry Flat IronI like it. I partially blow my hair dry, then use this product to finish drying and styling it. It allows me to do my hair faster, and it does work. Its great for my wavy hair, and I recommend it.Sep 14, 2006Laura / TN

Corioliss Is The Best Wet-to-dry!I tried both because I really "thought" I needed a thermostat since my hair is fine and blonde. Although the T3 has one, the overall performance and sturdy construction of the Corioliss makes it superior in every way. Since there is no thermostat on the Corioliss, I cannot use it on my dry hair, but for wet hair, Corioliss cannot be beat! My hair feels so thick, silky, and soft, that I cannot believe its my hair. Feels best when I wash and condition with Pantene Restorative Treatment for Frizz, and then use Rusk Str8 Straightening Balm prior to using the flat iron. I find myself wanting to run my hands through my hair all the time because it has never felt so good. Usually it is curly, with a bit of frizz, and the amazing part is that I live at the beach and can spend the day there or walk out to the end of the pier and my hair stays straight...for days! It feels healthier because I now wash it every 2 or 3 days rather than every day, and there is no more blow-drying. It dries with one swipe over each small section and I then place the dry straight hair in tourmaline curlers while I am getting ready, just to give it a bit of height and shape (my hair is just below my shoulders in length). I can honestly say that I never want to be without my Corioliss again...words cannot express how wonderfully this flat iron works.Aug 18, 2006Scarlet / Seal Beach, CA

My Hair Feels GreatThis straightener works great. It dried my hair really fast and only took about 15 minutes to fiz as opposed to about 30. My hair is soft and shiny. Definitely a good buy. I would reccomend it to anyone who has bought a bunch of straighteners that havent worked. This one is the real deal.Jul 30, 2006Tiffany / NJ

The world's most famous in-laws, the Middletons, are under fire again in the press, this time for launching new royal-baby-themed party favors from their company, Party Pieces. The new products could be viewed as cashing in on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's upcoming little prince or princess (or both!).
The Daily News led with an article titled "Now Middeltons cash in on Kate's Pregnancy." The Celebrity Dirty Laundry blog followed with "Kate Middleton's parents cash in on royal baby," and Pakistani Today published "Middeltons 'Little Prince' cash in?" Even ABC news asked "Are Kate Middleton's parents profiting off the royal pregnancy?"
Royal baby mania begins with questions on name, title and succession
This isn't the first time the Middletons have received flak for releasing royal-themed party favors, according to the Daily Mail. "Earlier this year, [Party Pieces] offered paraphernalia themed around the Royal Wedding and the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Its street party items included state carriage-shaped cardboard teapot vases, coat of arms cups printed with 'Long Live G&T' and canape flags featuring crown-wearing corgis."
The current new items in question are "Little Prince/Princess plates" and a "1st Princess Castle Fun Party Pack" which includes castle-themed plates, cups, napkins, decorations and loot bags. Potential buyers are instructed to "Create a magical castle for your little princess and her guests to celebrate her first birthday in style."
In defense of the royal in-laws, the Prince/Princess lines themselves are not new, just bulked up a bit, potentially to meet increased demands.
Party Pieces was launched by Carole Middleton in 1987. Since then, it has become the family business, turning the Middletons into self-made millionaires. Both Duchess Catherine and her sister Pippa have worked for the company, which makes party favors and paper goods for every sort of celebration.
It's unlikely Kate will be celebrating with a baby shower, which is an American tradition. Instead she may opt for the British custom of a Blessingway, according to pregnancy website The Bump, where "friends and family gather to spend time with the expectant mom and wish her well without gifts."
Regardless of what you think of the Middletons for making party favors that might profit from royal-baby mania, there's no doubt that grandparents everywhere consider their first-born grandchild true royalty.

That's odd, because I have noticed the opposite: drops seem to be dminishing and I am not getting good loot. I got the same item 3 times for completing high level zones, but at least it was useful to my class.
Dye drops have definitely been nerfed to the ground. I finished Mount Maelstrom, Frostgorge and enough WvW to get me from 59 to 80 and then finished Straights of Devastation. In all this i got a grand total of 6 dyes, all crap.

Then the game shouldn't claim to be an RPG.
As it is, there's literally nothing to make two elementalists different from one another.
UO doesn't have levels. I take it you think it shouldn't also be caled an RPG?
2 Elementalists can differ by skillset, weapons of choice, and traits. In short, build.
Ele "A" can build himself to clone Ele "B", but in practice, they're better off diversified for better group synergy.
the RP stand for role-play. different weapons, traits, and build have nothing to do with it. when im playing my mesmer i dont feel like a mesmer. i feel like the purple guy. the classes arent defined enough.
Originally posted by cybertrucker
As the title says last night patch went into play, and the amount of gear drops must have been tripled. Not only that but now the drops scale to your level. I got 2 yellow drops one level 38 and one level37 from outside trash mobs outside of AC entrance. Another thing I noted is that all the armor dros were light armor which is what I use being an ele. Same was tru with weapon drops. I wasn't getting items that my class couldn't use. Inside AC. Things seemed more random and normal loot. Which makes me wonder if they did something in reverse. I got better loot outside than inside.
I had kind of the opposite while running AC (story mode at least) just the other night. All of the loot drops were heavy armor, or warrior weapons (was playing a warrior). What made it even more interesting was that majority of the weapon drops were all Axes. The reason why I say this is interesting is because my character was sporting dual axes, and I had two seperate bosses drop two blue axes.
It could all be a coincidence but it seems like the weapon drops are being catered to what class and potential what spec you are? spec as in what you have equipped.

I think most everyone can relate to wanting it all to end and the anger that is felt. It's sad when this happens, but it's also nice to know that once you've moved forward, you are stronger for it. Life is hard. Certain people make it harder. But we can choose to survive and become all the better for it. :)
Or at least, that's the tangent I found after reading this poem. Very well written and thought provoking!

The Grizzly is Back!!
October 1, 2016
After a hectic 2015 for our community, forcing the cancellation of our ride last fall, mainly due to several forest fires, and after some deep soul searching and encouragement from our past riders, The Grizz will ride again. We are looking forward to our old friends and many new ones joining us this year. We believe that with some new committee members and many of our old ones, the Grizzly will be around for years to come.
The experience has changed some, with many new spectacular vistas due to the fires and drought, but the route itself remains the same, as challenging and fun as always.
Free Souvenir Water Bottles to the first 100 to register!
Special Notice: The Grizzly is in need of new local leadership for the 2017 Ride. If you are interested, please notify us online or on the day of the ride.
All proceeds above expenses are donated to the Sierra Vista National Byway and other community projects. See samples here.

- Free (with in-app purchases)
- Paid
I will provide all graphic designs and concepts
I will provide a concept with all features, texts and logic procedures
Integration points: All calculation functions of Apple standard iOS 6 iPhone calculator app (incl. portrait / landscape -> scientific) + the following features:
- Copy, paste, go back
- Pop-up window
- Email function
- Air-Print
- History
The whole app needs to be programmed according to the module principle:
At anytime it should be possible to add/extract single/multiple features (e.g for a new app).
The final software must be bug free. Therefore, bids incl. a kind of "bug free warranty" will be preferred (so if there are any problems I can get back to you after publishing on the app store.)
If this project works well you should be available to provide ongoing support and develop future releases (iPhone & iPod) + other apps.
1. Please send a comprehensive proposal including up to max. 3 relevant examples of apps you created + a bid + time you would need.
2. The selected proposals will receive a more detailed description after signing a Non-Disclosure-Agreement. Afterwards you can send in your final bid.

I have spent a lot of time on this. I now gather that it is not just if a product uses cryptographic features. Rather we need to declare a product that uses or is designed to use cryptography for the purpose of information security. We have a number of supporting products that use it for authentication. We don't need to declare those. So far i have found: "jsch" which is used for scp tasks. "Apache FOP" which can be used for encryption of PDF output. Can forrest use "https" to retrieve remote sources? If so, then what product(s) enables that? I haven't finished yet. Other eyes are appreciated, perhaps you will find something that i may have missed. -David

January 2017
Jeni was a great guide. She and our driver were also very kind to let us change our itinerary around at the last moment, so we could also get to the panda preserve where we got our pictures taken with the pandas. Also great food tips. Wish we had more time to spend in Chengdu.
November 2016
Our trip to Chengdu was amaaaaazzzziiingg!!! From the pick up with Martin at our hotel, to the Panda Research Base- early enough to catch some fun antics, to the Wide and Narrow Alleys and the Marriage Market at the People's Park- It was ALL Awesome! Well timed plans, a knowledgeable guide, and fun ensued! The best tour I've taken. We highly recommend Samtour and Martin!
November 2016
This tour was amazing and the highlight of my trip so far. My tour guide Martin arrived promptly and met me at the hotel lobby on time and was very knowledgeable. The panda park is huge and he knew exactly where to go and what to do to avoid the crowds. I had my own driver in a nice car too!! Do it!
Andy Australia
October 2015
Very enjoyable tour, our guide Sam was very knowledgable about the local area and organised our day perfectly. Although the panda centre was our highlight, the monastery was very interesting and our rest in the park in the tea house was a lovely look into Chinese culture. I would recommend this tour, as we only had two days in Chengdu it was a fantastic way to spend a day.
September 2015
Great, lot's of Pandas
June 2015
Today it was my birthday and I'm off to see the pandas. I was met by the wonderful Jeli and we set off at 07:30. Arriving at the base Jeli led the way and I was not disappointed with great views of the big cuddly ones. We then saw the younger pandas then the red pandas. As we were walking back we visited the film theatre and could see the value of getting to the centre early as there were large groups entering .A wonderful morning. We left for lunch and the sightseeing tour. Such a lovely day with tea and snacks at the end , A lovely birthday in the company of Jeli who was fantastic
April 2015
We booked this tour from Viator, it was easy, safe and value for money.
In China the company that ran the tour was amazing.
Our guide Green picked us up in a private car with friendly driver. Our guide was polite, courteous, friendly and very knowledgable about ChengDu.
Our tour included: Panda Research Centre where in March we saw 6 month old panda cubs, visit to the wide and narrow alleys, lovely vegetarian lunch and look around a rarely seen Buddhist Monastery, we then proceeded to the People's Park where the retired dance and socialise. We went and had tea at a traditional tea house, where we socialised and had our ears cleaned like the locals. We finished our day with traditional snacks from a restaurant in the park where the same recipes have been used for generations.
We loved ChengDu and felt this tour allowed us to see it from a locals viewpoint, our experience was enhanced due to the openness and kindness of our wonderful guide.
Thank you Viator, tour company, but especially to Green our guide you really made this trip amazing.
April 2015
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our main reason for visiting chengdu was to see the panda's and we weren't disappointed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend this tour.
January 2015
Andy picked us up at our hotel and took us to the Panda centre. We had wanted to have a photo with a panda and Andy organised this for us. We went on to a Buddhist monastery for lunch and Andy helped us choose foods which we would like. She then took us to a quaint tourist shopping area, then onto the peoples park where we walked around and had tea and relaxed, later in the evening we had some snacks for dinner. All in all it was a great day. Andy went out of her way to make sure the day was excellent. The day was well panned with lots of interesting things to do and see. Even our driver was great, very pleasant and always ready to pick us up and take us to the next destination. I would definitely recommend this tour, without Andy there is no way we could pack so much into one day, but having someone else do all the organising it still felt really relaxed.
June 2016
Love this tour and the tour guide was very informative. Did a lot of walking but was worth it. Loved the Pandas and the bamboo shoots were everywhere. So beautiful.
