Texas Gov. Rick Perry, under questioning from voters in recent days, has switched positions on a 2007 executive order he issued mandating the vaccination of all young girls before they enter sixth grade to ward off cervical cancer.
Mr. Perry's order that Texas school girls receive the vaccine, Gardasil, made by Merck & Co., was overturned by the state legislature and never got off the ground. But it still has roiled conservatives and Christian groups for years.
After long defending the decision, Mr. Perry has apologized repeatedly for the order since launching his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. As recently as his 2010 gubernatorial re-election bid, Mr. Perry touted the vaccine's medical efficacy and the lives of young women it saved.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Perry sings a different tune now that he's running for president.
What he did was bad as a matter of principle and since the 2007 controversy questions have been raised about the drug's safety.
There was a campaign contribution to Perry from the company that made the drug (6,000 dollars).
A lot of money is now being gathered to fund his presidential campaign. Who is it from and what are the contributors going to get in return.
Just follow the rino corporate welfare trail for the answer..
Move over Slick Willard, here comes Slick Rick... Pay no attention to my statist liberal policies as Governor, since I'm running for President, I'm a Conservative now ! Honest ! Al Gore can vouch for me, I was his campaign manager after all...
I think this is a huge nail in the Perry run for POTUS.
Slick-Rick Perry is a fraud.
Yes, but that was the old *arch-conservative* AlGore before he got taken over by the evil Clintonoids.
Just ask the Perry folk, they'll tell you all about it :^)
Slick-Rick called this a 'mistake'.
Should we expect him to make the same admission about his pro illegal immigration/in-state tuition position? Will he say it was a 'mistake' to then go to Mexico to brag about it? Will he say it was a 'mistake' to condemn Arizona's anti-immigration law? Will he say it was a 'mistake' to oppose the border fence? And will he say it was a 'mistake' to oppose E-Verify, a federal verification program that prevents illegal immigrants from landing state jobs? If he thinks it will get him votes he will because that's what flip-flopping poseurs do.
Still perpetuating that lie, eh? Shame, shame.
I wish they'd tell me where and how to get those DNC checks we're supposed to be getting for exposing Perry for the RINO that he is. I've been posting about Perry's liberal record for a week now and haven't received a single check. :-(
Yes. Thank you for the post. It's a much more accurate representation of the truth than what the Perry haters spout.
At least you're willing to admit you're working for the liberals against the Republicans. That's more than most of the Perry haters on this site will admit.
I don't hate anyone. I'm just tired of the Republican Party nominating loser RINOS.
Maaaaan, this DUDE is SLICK!! Waaaaay SLICK!
Hate??? I merely check the facts. It is going to get worse. I have no idea why Perry is running with his record.
Makes me think that he is a stalking horse. His running makes no sense....
Watch out, the raving nutters will take you for real, LOL!
See post #13, one already has. :-)
MB's last congressional race pulled in 13.2 million...
"Bachmann brought in an eye-popping $13.2 million during the campaign, shattering the previous fundraising record for House candidates and eclipsing even the totals for many Senate campaigns, which are typically more expensive to run."
goto opensecrets.org to find out who all is giving.
Can't be!! The Perry-bots have declared Gardasil, TTC, and illegal immigration to be dead subjects.
I am no Myth fan...
C'mon, Doc. Just because you posted the Slick Rick Revisionist History Talking Point Du Jour doesn't mean I swallow it. The SS Perry is leaking badly.
The media loves the Myth of Willard. He'll be D.O.A. soon enough.
I have no dog in this hunt... Don't even care. I am prepared for 4 more years of Obozo.
What I do care about is taking the majority in the US Senate.
And no more stinky pinky (Harry Reid) doing whatever he pleases.
Having control of the House and Senate is going to be the best victory for 2012.
And Perry is a POC... you betcha..
And since you asked
Rick Perry king of corporate welfare
Perry to protect undocumented-immigrant tuition
Schwarzenegger, Perry, Napolitano, Richardson urge comprehensive immigration reform
Perry endorses Rudy Guiliani for president in 2008
Perry works toward increasing H1Bs...
Governor Perry throws support behind H1Bs
Perry opposes border fence
Rick Perrys dangerous Muslim compromise
It seems there are no longer men of principle in politics.
I believe there are some women of principle though!
Now I see why you are prepared for four more years of Barry.
YOU WANT HIM to WIN!
"you betcha.."
I've been seeing that phrase a lot. Is it some secret codeword, spoken by supporters of a candidate yet undeclared... someone with true honesty and virtue? I betcha!
Come on Sarah!
But the mea culpa might instead be a blood in the water moment that ironically generates the type of feeding frenzy they had hoped to avoid. It picks at the Gardasil mandate scab and renews interest in the original events. It also raises a whole host of new questions, not the least of which is why did he spend 4 years proudly defending his actions, even to the point of maligning his Gardasil critics, only to admit a mistake days after entering the presidential race.
If Malkin's "Governor Gardasil" sticks, Perry could end up slow bleeding through the primaries. Regardless, this issue is not going to go away soon.
Folks, I am far from a RINO, been to every Texas Republican State Convention since '92, served two terms on Rules Committee.
I didn't oppose the Gardisil item on grounds of promoting promiscuity, I opposed it (while encouraging my step-daughter, an adult, to get it) because it was an intrusion on individual rights.
You non-Texans need to take a closer look at Perry. This Conservative Republican has spent more time opposing Perry policies over the last decade than supporting them.
Did you like the Kelo decision? You would have loved the Trans-Texas Corridor. Texas Conservatives fought this rascal through two terms of Legislature, would have been the largest eminent domain land grab in American history. Perry fought FOR that tooth and nail.
I'm always amazed at how cheaply politicians can be bought.
I'll make sure not to make the mistake of voting for him.
Then, when we end up with either President Romney or President Obama 2.0, we will be able to thank the Conservatively Holier Than Thou crowd.

..... if Palin does not run but Perry does, he'd probably suck all the air out of the race. Either way, ..... Perry would all be excellent alternatives to Obama the commie. Anyone but RINO Romney the big government chief architect of CommieCare!
Posted on Friday, July 01, 2011 10:13:29 AM by Jim Robinson
Just one amongst many.
You think $6000 contributions pull this much sway? Each individual can give $5000 adding primary and general election max amounts. I seriously doubt any governor is making major policy changes for $6000.
The order was in 2007...
the article you are citing is from 2009.
If the hazards were known (proven) in 2007 then I might fault Perry for his order, but ...if the issue didn't come to light until later then not so much.
I guess so was running Gores campaign, being a democrat, embracing Mexico's open border dream in a official statement by Perry himself and on and on it goes, but now, oh now, he's got it all right, uh huh ...
Keep reminding us. Most of us aren't familiar with Gov. Perry's history.
BS. A mistake is when you dial a wrong phone number, not force women to take a vaccine.

Giving Tuesday
We have a day for giving thanks. We have two for getting deals, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now, we have Giving Tuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 1, 2015, charities, families, businesses, community centers and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give.
Through #GivingTuesdayCLT, a social media campaign, SHARE Charlotte and many local nonprofits are partnering together again this year to make a positive impact in OUR city.
This year, the giving season starts on November 10 and goes through December 1. We are excited to be participating in #GivingTuesdayCLT with SHARE Charlotte! Make a gift to the Carolina Thread Trail during this period and you'll help us earn a percentage of matching funds given to SHARE Charlotte from area organizations.

Corporate Trailheads
Supporting trails and greenways is a smart investment for our region's future.
The Carolina Thread Trail's sustainability depends on the support of everyone in a community – town municipality, individual community members, organizations and groups, as well as corporations and local businesses who work and live in the neighborhood.
Corporate Trailheads are those businesses who are engaged in the health and well-being of their community. They care about the overall wellness of the land, people and economy in their area. This grassroots group of businesses furthers not only the Carolina Thread Trail network but also strengthens their towns and the people who work and play in the place they call home.
If your business wants to take the next step to making this region a better place to live, work and play, become a Corporate Trailhead!
Thank you to our current Corporate Trailheads

The purpose-built racer's destined for the Dakar Rally, VW badges and all. Advertisement About the only things the VW Race Touareg 3 and the regular VW Toureg share is a promotional budget and some bright work. Like the past two race Touaregs, gone is pretty much everything but the headlights and grille, replaced with a steel space-frame chassis covered with a carbon fiber and Kevlar body. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 2.5-liter TDI diesel delivering 300 hp and 442 lb-ft of torque to a ZF-Sachs five-speed sequential transmission with a three-plate ceramic clutch Three limited-slip differentials deliver power through a high-travel suspension system similar to the the one fitted to the race-winning Touareg's in 2009 and 2010. The new trucks have been optimized for the tremendous 15,000 foot race elevation changes, so performance won't suffer so badly when the engines are starving for oxygen. 0-62 mph comes in just 6.1 seconds with a top speed of 117 mph. Advertisement We're certain all the Touareg drivers out there will rest more easily knowing their cars' VW badge has been race-tested in the Atacama desert.Reply81 repliesLeave a reply

Exhaust systems and exhaust system reviews on such brand names as Borla, MBRP, Gibson, Corsa, Flowmaster,and Magnaflow. Buy an exhaust system online in most States such as California, Indiana, Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Texas, West Virginia, New York and all other States in the United States.
We are going to give you some information on the Corsa Exhaust as well as give you a Corsa exhaust review based upon other website's customer reviews as well as different forum talks to see what auto enthusiasts are saying about this exhaust system. I did the research and condensed so others don't have to go digging for hours for what can be summed up in a couple of minutes. I know there are a lot of exhausts out there, and it takes a lot of research to find out if any given system is worth the money.
First we will start off wit a brief company description. Corsa exhaust boasts that their manufacturing design has completely eliminated drone noise. The noise that affects a lot of performance exhaust systems. I know that the drone noise which is a little annoying in the cab does exist in a majority of performance exhaust systems. Did Corsa actually eliminate this annoying noise. We will find out later in the review.
Here are some points the manufacturer boasts;
Now lets see what we come up with in our review research to see how much of what the manufacturer boasts about their product is true.
Good Points:
Bad Points:
Out of all the exhaust I have reviewed, the Corsa Exhaust has the best customer reviews. I found hardly no bad points and the ones I did find finished saying they still loved the exhaust. The price is a bit more than other performance exhaust systems but everyone agree it is worth the extra money. If you are looking for a very loud all the time exhaust, this is probably not the way to go. Everyone seems to agree that it has a slight beefy purr at idle and real mellow at cruise but a very throaty nice growl when laying on the pedal that causes heads to turn.
Best Place to buy is presented below.
Reading customer reviews helps when making a purchase and I hope the Corsa exhaust review I have included with the research I have done based upon customer reviews has helped you. I personally find the Corsa exhaust to be very impressive.

UPDATED: Okay guys, autofire activated!
UPDATED: Newgrounds medals added to the game, and preloader updated! Hope you liked! :D
Warning: It could take a few minutes to load! And you will need the last version of flash plugin installed! (we recomend to play it on chrome without any other 3d app running at the same time)
The Scylla squadron was created for the protection of the civilians of the alliance. It was composed of pilots with superhuman skills, able to destroy entire armies with a single ship. In Scylla Starfighter you controll Nataliya, one of the Scyllas that has the mission to protect the people from the Ragnaquians, a group of fundamentalist that says that its god has awaken and he wants to destroy the people of the alliance.
Scylla Starfighter is a 3D shmup with some nice gameplay twists, boss battles, and unique 3d graphics on a flash game.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I like the game but at the same time I feel like the levels are a little drawn out..they take forever.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Good gameplay and story was decent. But final boss is wtf becasue i do not know how to beat. But hope you come out with a sequal and I will play!
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Game was a little meh... Could use an upgrade system and better voice acting.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
It was ok, could have been a lot better if the use of perspective was improved, sometimes it was hard to tell if there was a large asteroid in the distance or a small one close by which resulted in a lot of collision for me. Also the upgrades were virtually non-existent and were way too easy to lose because many of the asteroids seemed unavoidable. The voice acting was a bit cringe inducing at best best and the story was nothing new or special. Great graphics and the health system was balanced though, overall 3 stars from me :)

Newton Peripherals Launches Ultra-Thin Headset
"We looked at all the Bluetooth headsets on the market, from boutique manufacturers all the way up to Jawbone and Plantronics, and found that even with their great audio quality and noise suppression, consumers are challenged to charge and store their Bluetooth headsets," said Stuart Nixdorff, CEO of Newton Peripherals. "All Bluetooth headsets on the market today are inconvenient to use; nobody wants to take a call only to find a dead headset; and nobody wants to carry a pocket full of cables, chargers that accompany a bulky headset. What good is a headset if it's not charged or feels uncomfortable in your pocket?"
MoGo Talk uses a different design than most Bluetooth headsets. Instead of an earbud / earloop combination, the MoGo Talk uses a flexible, thin rubber eartip that conforms to your ear and blocks out noise.
This headset is designed with OEM computer manufacturers in mind as distribution partners. The MoGo Talk joins Newton Peripherals' line off ultra-thin peripherals including the MoGo Mouse. The MoGo Mouse is a 5 mm thin Bluetooth mouse that also stores and charges inside a laptop. Additionally, Newton Peripherals plans to release integrated mobile phone versions of the MoGo Talk that will piggyback on the back of a phone and can charge with it in the coming weeks.
The MoGo Talk is available today at www.mogostore.com for $99.99.
- Size: 24mm X 50mm X 5mm
- Weight: 9 grams
- Thinness: 5mm
- Talk time: Up to 4 hours
- Standby time: Over one week
- Range: Up to 10 meters (33 feet)
- Bluetooth Version 2.0 with Easy pair
- Echo Suppression
- Active Noise compensation
- Multiple eartips included

We are trying to enable SNMP Trap monitoring from BPPM.
The required MIB file has been complied.
But when we are adding the required OIDs then it is being added with 'Attribute' value "Config".
Now with this "Config" attributes nothing (no graph...no data) actually come in BPPM as it is a non numeric value.
If we manually change that to "stats" then we are getting the attached error.
Please inform us if it is possible to add those OID with attribute "stats" or not so that we can get graph and data in BPPM.

The Reel Truth
If you go to Rotten Tomatoes, the Web site that compiles more than 100 film critics' reviews each week, you will find at the top of the "Certified Fresh" list a single movie that was the very best reviewed of 2005. It was not a remake or a sequel, nor did it cost $200 million and star a pubescent wizard or a computer-generated ape. It was a made-for-cheap documentary about men confined to scrap-metal wheelchairs who play a violent game of quadriplegic rugby, which involves rolling across gymnasium floors at high speed and hitting your opponent as hard as you can. If you knock him out of his chair, so much the better.
Titled Murderball, it was released in July to nearly unanimous acclaim, and the execs at THINKFilm, the New York City distributor that put Murderball into theaters, had every reason to believe audiences would run to a funny, furious movie about men who cannot walk. Before its release, one of its stars, Mark Zupan, appeared alongside Jay Leno and David Letterman, and was even touted on the cover of Entertainment Weekly as the summer's unlikeliest action hero. A&E Network bought Murderball for broadcast, MTV Films signed on as a promotional partner, and Reebok put up billboards pushing this latest extreme sport. And just a week before the movie came out, Participant Productions -- the socially progressive company owned by eBay founder Jeff Skoll -- partnered with THINKFilm to help give the movie a promotional push on the Internet.
"If you had asked me and a number of people in this company and a number of industry observers what the box office would be," says THINKFilm's Mark Urman, "I think everybody would have predicted multiple, multiple millions for Murderball."
Instead, it made just one million -- $1.5 mil, to be precise -- during its three-month theatrical run. The shoulda-been hit missed by a mile, which stunned Urman. All the post-screening polling suggested it was universally loved: 99 percent of the men who saw it said they would recommend it; 100 percent of women said the same thing.
"The movie was going to be a big hit," Urman says. "Of course, that was a perfect illustration of what market research does. It tells you what you don't need to know and is often very misleading."
On the surface, the failure of Murderball would appear to render it one more casualty of the Year the Movies Died, a so-called trend trumpeted in newspaper headlines on an almost weekly basis. But don't weep for Mark Urman; the man ain't losing money, even on a money-loser at the theater. Welcome to the economics of Hollywood, where great apes and Jedi knights aren't the only computer-generated illusions.
Throughout the year, dozens of newspapers and TV news shows insisted studio revenues were off 5 percent from the same period in 2004; some had it as high as 7 or 8 percent. The most commonly cited stat was that Hollywood had lost $500 million, give or take, for the first half of 2005 compared to last year.
Which wasn't true. At all.
Fact is, the major studios took in more from the box office in the first quarter of 2005 ($870 million) than they did during the first quarter of 2004 (when receipts totaled $797 million). How do we know this? Because Edward Jay Epstein reported it on Slate.com, where he contributes a weekly column called The Hollywood Economist. Epstein got his numbers from "a secretive unit of the Motion Picture Association" called Worldwide Market Research, which provides revenue breakdowns to the highest-level studio execs, but keeps those numbers away from journalists. Yes, Epstein says, audiences were down, but "this came mainly at the expense of independent, foreign, and documentary movies." The studios, he insists, suffered no slump whatsoever.
Epstein, whose book The Big Picture: The New Logic of Money and Power in Hollywood was published by Random House in February, has spent the better part of 2005 demystifying and debunking Hollywood's woes on Slate. He is no embedded trade-mag reporter, no Variety shill, but a writer of books on subjects ranging from the collapse of TV news to the Warren Commission to the diamond trade; he's a serious man of sober purpose. So his numbers ring true, as do his assertions that Hollywood is in the business of peddling not only big-screen myths but business-pages ones as well.
"The reason I have stayed on the subject all year is the inability or unwillingness of the media, of people who report on Hollywood, to try to get the real numbers and see what's really happening," Epstein says. "They have no willingness to accept that box office numbers are not the studio numbers. They treat it as though it's some sort of a joke...People say this film did this or this film did that, and it's like talking about how some clothing did at a fashion show rather than the retail store."
Spend an hour talking to Epstein, and he will run down his estimable list of myths promulgated by and about Hollywood. He will tell you studio execs hate making movies for kids, hate watering them down for the demo-pleasing PG-13 rating. "People in Hollywood are generally smart, thoughtful and pretty nice guys...and if they make movies that are terrible, they're not doing it because they want to," Epstein says. "It's because their business is to find audiences, and the audience they can find the easiest are teenagers, and the only movies they can get merchandising tie-ins for are children's movies."
He will tell you that the real money comes from DVD sales, not from theatrical release. He will tell you that theaters would prefer to let people in to movies for free so they can sell more popcorn and hot dogs and soft drinks, which is where exhibitors really make their money; but since studios don't make a cent from concessions, prices go up and audiences go down. He will tell you that studios don't really depend on foreign sales to make up their deficits; after all, the U.S. box office is still the dominant money machine, providing more than 60 percent in ticket sales worldwide. And he will tell you even though Universal claims King Kong cost more than $200 million to make, it probably cost the studio next to nothing, once you figure in subsidies provided by the New Zealand government and German tax shelters and other presold licensing rights. Telling audiences how much King Kong cost was just part of its prerelease hype -- a wowee stat aimed at impressing those who want to be part of a garish, expensive spectacle.
So, sure, the movies may have seemed terrible this year -- 2005 was, after all, the year of The Dukes of Hazzard, Bewitched, Be Cool, Domino and other lavish disasters -- but there are awful movies every year, just as, in the case of Murderball, there are always critical darlings that tank with the public. (None of the year's likely Best Picture Oscar nominees will have cracked the $100 million barrier.) If people are indeed staying away, it's because they just don't want to see any movies -- not now, anyway, not when they can avoid sticky and dingy multiplexes filled with ringing cell phones; not when they can spend the price of a ticket on a DVD 90 days after opening day; and not when they can see something on their plasma TV or computer screen or iPod whenever they want.
You don't even need a big hit to be a big hit: Mark Urman says it just doesn't matter that Murderball did poorly at the box office, because he'll make his money elsewhere -- specifically, on DVD. (In that top-secret report Epstein cites, DVD sales for the first quarter of 2005 were up $550 million -- from $2.7 billion to $3.2 billion.) That's why Urman plans to start releasing DVDs mere weeks after the movies hit theaters, which saves him time and money pimping the product -- it all gets rolled into one giant ad campaign, after all.
"What we know about our customers is not that they won't go to the movies if they know it will be on DVD soon," Urman says. "Au contraire -- what we know about our customers is they will see it when they want to, if they want to and how they want to, so I say let it all happen all at once."
Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner, through their production companies HDNet Films and Magnolia Pictures and 2929 Productions, are already doing that very thing. This year they released the doc Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room in theaters and on Cuban's HDNet on the same day, which infuriated theater owners who claimed Cuban and Wagner were cutting into their business -- and yet it still made more than $4 million at the box office. And in late January, director Steven Soderbergh will simultaneously release his movie Bubble theatrically, on HDNet and on DVD.
Not only are Cuban and Wagner shortening the release window between movies and DVDs -- they're jumping through it. But they can do this because they're a small company. The studios are lumbering, bungling beasts. It's easy to turn a speedboat on a dime; it's impossible when you're steering the Titanic.
"Paramount's biggest DVD last year was Chappelle's Show, which they established on Comedy Central," Epstein says. "One of Warner Bros.' biggest DVDs was The Sopranos, established on HBO. And Harry Potter was established as a book first. In the future, the theater will be less and less important, and [studios are] just trying to keep them alive. Everyone understands it's an inefficient system, but if they kill the theaters, they will kill themselves. If you try to open Syriana or King Kong on HBO or as a network special, like a Super Bowl, and all the publicity was concentrated on it that way, you may make more money. But they don't know."Epstein laughs, then adds with dramatic understatement: "You know what? They're scared."
But not broke. Not by a long shot.

GREEN SPRINGS, Ohio - After six years, St. Francis Health Care Center and ProMedica Health System are going their separate ways.
The Green Springs long-term acute-stay facility, with 186 beds, has been managed by ProMedica. The arrangement will end by mid-July, the two companies said in a statement.
St. Francis is "evaluating management service companies for future operation and strategic direction of the facility," the statement said.
The care center hopes to strengthen its ties with area hospitals, including those in Bellevue, Fremont, and Tiffin, the statement said.

Just went to town and passed a guy with a deer in back of his truck with both back legs blown off and dirt all over what was left of his legs from trying to get away with what he had left. Almost made me sick just seeing it.

JERUSALEM -- Israeli President Shimon Peres likes to remind people that he is old. He is 90 and has worked with 10 U.S. presidents. He says he has also worked -- for four decades -- for a peace deal with the Palestinians. He has not succeeded.
His government service spans the entire history of the state of Israel, which is a spring chicken in comparison, at 66. Mr. Peres says that when he leaves office after his seven-year term ends this month, he is going into global high-tech, and that he is finished with governments.
"I am leaving the office, but I am not leaving the battle for peace," Mr. Peres said in a wide-ranging interview Monday at his official residence.
He sees his future role as a matchmaker for corporate interests that want to do something good in the Middle East (and something good for Israel) -- like a Bill Gates with diplomatic cachet, if not the billions. He says he doesn't care about money. Israel has a decent retirement package.
"We can combine the Israeli companies with other global companies. Companies go without nationality; you don't have to raise your national flag," he said. "Governments are suspicious; companies are not." He is thinking health care, education, agriculture, Internet.
As part of his long goodbye, Mr. Peres met Wednesday with President Barack Obama in the White House and will receive a Congressional Gold Medal today in the Capitol rotunda. On his 90th birthday, he was serenaded by singer Barbra Streisand and toasted by former President Bill Clinton.
Mr. Peres arrived in Israel as an immigrant, from a part of Poland that is now Belarus, when Israel was governed by the British Mandate for Palestine. His father was a lumber merchant, his mother a librarian.
Mr. Peres said the United States and Israel remain close allies, with similar goals and common cause. He agreed that the relationship has been strained. "I don't think, even if there are arguments between us, that there is division on basic things like security," he said. "But there are tactical differences."
Israel's defense minister a few months ago called Secretary of State John Kerry "delusional" and "messianic" in his quest to broker a deal between Israel and the Palestinians. The Obama administration's peace effort collapsed in April, with bitter recriminations between the parties. U.S. diplomats said both sides were to blame for the failure. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas "shut down," said special envoy Martin Indyk, and Israelis undermined efforts by going back on their promise to release a fourth batch of Palestinian prisoners and by announcing new West Bank settlement construction.
But Mr. Peres heaped praise on Mr. Abbas. "When you look for a candidate who can be your partner, he is your man," Mr. Peres said of Mr. Abbas, who is 79 and beginning to wind down his own public career. "We are old, and we are friends," Mr. Peres said, when asked if the two were close.
Mr. Abbas has shown true courage, Mr. Peres said. Even if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disagrees.
Last week, the Palestinian leader told a group of Arab leaders at a meeting in Saudi Arabia that the recent abduction of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank was wrong. Mr. Netanyahu blames the Islamic militant group Hamas for the kidnapping.
Mr. Peres said in advance of his Wednesday meeting that he planned to ask Mr. Obama to release Israel's spy, Jonathan Pollard, an American civilian intelligence analyst sentenced to life in prison for passing secrets to the Israelis. Pollard has served long enough, Mr. Peres said.

Have you ever felt that your life was guided by larger forces? Unseen but very real energies that influence every direction your life takes? In her renowned work as a medical intuitive, Caroline Myss examined the patterns of hundreds of archetypes that exist in human consciousness, and uncovered an alchemy of spirituality we all can use for self-understanding, healing, and divine connection.
On The Language of Archetypes, this three-time New York Times bestselling author brings to life a gallery of archetypes in an 11-CD audio curriculum more than a decade in the making. Her first complete training course about how to identify and work with the eight major archetypal families, this landmark program brings listeners face-to-face with:
- The Four Survival Archetypes everyone is born with—Child, Prostitute, Victim, and Saboteur
- The Royal Family—Queen, King, Damsel, Knight, and others
- The Shadow Family—Thief, Trickster, Addict, and others
When you learn to speak in archetypes, teaches Caroline Myss, you start to see the world and everything in it in an altogether different way. Delivered with masterful storytelling, The Language of Archetypes gives listeners a personal introduction to the many dynamic yet often hidden characters that profoundly impact health, relationships, career—every facet of our sacred destiny.

Rating I found the book Sacred Contracts a little difficult to read - this program makes the whole concept of Archetypes so much clearer.

- Review for The Language of Archetypes Review by Martha J Webber
Rating I am happy with this audio download overall but with some minor reservations. I had bought the Sacred Contracts book and wanted something to bring the concepts to life until I had time to actually sit down and really absorb the book. This was on sale so I figured I had little to lose. It was my first time hearing Caroline Myss. I noticed a particular attitude and later saw this referred to negatively in some reviews on another website. Caroline can be somewhat judgemental and a bit pedantic at times, but she takes a conversational approach and I was able to just recognize her human imperfection and listen for the underlying ideas and truths which are plentiful. If you are considering this audio, I suggest you listen first and notice your gut response. If it bothers you, then just get the written material. I liked hearing it come to life.

- Review for The Language of Archetypes Review by Dr. Susan Ann Stauffer
Rating The CDs are fabulous. I was intrigued with every tape. I drive a great deal for my work - long distances - so it was the perfect thing to be doing. I plan on using this information with my family and in my work. It is a study that will be ongoing. And, I know it will be a fruitful undertaking. I highly recommend this to anyone seriously wanting to understand themselves better.

Rating Totally enjoying this series of CD's! Find myself listening once in the car, then listening again when I can take notes. Enjoyed reading Sacred Contracts, but this helps the archetype characteristics sink in - easier to identify. Thanks!

- Review for The Language of Archetypes Review by Shelly Manley-Tannis
Rating This series is so easy to listen to - and you feel like the speaker is right there with you. I have found the archetype work exciting and helpful in daily life too. I find myself noticing them more and more in the world around me.

Check out excerpt from my book, Self-Driven Learning, "Ethical and Effective Test Prep"
It's approaching the time in many states when our students will have to take annual standardized tests.
I've written quite a few posts about how I prepare my students to take them, as well as posts writing about how bad the tests are. I thought I'd bring them all together in one "The Best…" list.
I've made it quite clear that our school we intentionally do little explicit "test-prep" work with our students. Instead, we believe the work we do during the entire year prepares them to be lifelong learners and that will show-up in test results. We also do a number of things to help students feel positive on test days.
Please feel free to offer suggestions for other good resources on how to prepare students for the tests, or pieces that show why the tests are bad.

Chewing Gum May Improve Test Scores reports on a new study that says chewing gum can improve test performance, but only for fifteen or twenty minutes after chewing stops. It says the gum should only be chewed prior to the test and will actually ultimately hurt test performance if it continues. contradicts the previous study.

Tensions are rising in the Middle East. Iran's president vows to annihilate the United States and Israel. Israel's prime minister says someone must hit Iran's nuclear sites "before it's too late". The American president warns against a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities and says negotiations are the key to finding peace.
And amid it all, rumors are swirling throughout the region of a mysterious religious cleric claiming to be the Islamic messiah known as the Mahdi or the Twelfth Imam. Word of his miracles, healings, signs, and wonders is spreading like wildfire.
CIA operative David Shirazi was born for this moment. He is recruited and sent into Tehran with one objective: use all means necessary to disrupt Iran's nuclear weapons program, without leaving American fingerprints and without triggering an apocalyptic new war.
But time is running out.

"Ripped from the headlines — next year's headlines." (Washington Times)
"An almost perfect book, with one caveat"
First, the caveat. This is the first book in a series about the possible coming of Armageddon. Not the secular type of Armageddon as in One Second After, but the religious type of Armageddon and thus the book comes with a religious viewpoint. That view is not heavy-handed but there are what appear to be miracles as well as visions in this book and readers may want to know about that before purchasing the book. Further this book is about good and evil in the traditional absolute sense, not the relative sense, and is clear about which is which. I find that view refreshing but some readers may find it upsetting.
This book is characterized as a political thriller but,it is not, like most, full of murder, mayhem, spying and miraculous escapes. This book is a wonderful story of the escape of two families from revolutionary Iran, the rise to adulthood of what come to be the main characters in the series and the simultaneous effort of the Iranian government to develop and use nuclear weapons. Added into this mix is the appearance of someone calling himself the "12th Imam". Toward the end of the book, as the Iranian efforts meet with success, the various characters end up coming together in one form or another. Do not mistake what I am saying. This is not "The Waltons"and there is enough spying and murder to make it suspenseful, but the book is greater than just that.
The main strength of this book is the development of the characters of some of the main people in the series. Their stores feel real, the characters seem real and the author has done a wonderful job of creating characters who we can and do care about. The story of both David and his girlfriend Marseilles, is sweet and as American as any childhood from that time. Their families seem real and their problems seem real. The Iranian characters seem less real but only, I suspect, because their world seems less real to those of us in the West than the world we are familiar with. But the book is sprinkled with what are viewed as miracles by those involved and those events set the course of the characters as they grow to adulthood.
The book is complete stand-alone story and can be read as just that. Many events are left untold since there are more books to come in this series, but we are not left at the precipice wondering what happened during the last set of events. I cared enough about the people involved to want to buy and read the next book in the series (in fact I first bought the second book in the series and, while I fell in love with it, I realized that parts of the book made no sense without having read the first book in the series. I then put it aside and bought and read this book).
Christopher Lane, who narrates this book, does a wonderful job. The characters are easily recognized by their voices without us having to be told who they are. He does not seem to stumble over either the Iranian or Arabic names and his presentation is clear, clean and engaging. In short, it is first class.
While I think this book is wonderful I want to again caution those who find religious viewpoints as either offensive or silly that this may not be the book they want. The religious views of the people in this book and the religious events surround them are crystal clear. This is not the Left Behind series, but neither is it James Bond. It is, at least in my view, one of the finest "thrillers" I have ever read and I look forward to the remaining books in the series.
"What Happened to the ENDING?"
Joel Rosenberg is a very refreshing and exciting author. I enjoyed all of his books! It is wonderful to read a truly exciting and intriguing book without all of the garbage profane language and graphic sex. And i was not disappointed with this story until the last 30 seconds. Joel, were you under pressure by your editors to wrap it up or did you just run out of gas at the end. i haven't seen a more disappointing ending since the 9th grade when a student finished a short story with, "...and then I woke up!" Is there a book 2? I hate to be left hanging on so many points. Come on, buddy, finish the story. A guy of your talent can surely wrap up the lose ends.
"Excellent Set-up for a New Series"
The Twelfth Imam is a great book that blends the political and supernatural very well. It starts in the middle of the action in 1979 to set up the background of the main characters and give context for the religio-political climate in Iran. It then slows as the main characters are developed to the present day. If one were to find a place to lose interest in the book it would be at that point, but knowing that it is setting up the series helps to propel one through that into a very fast paced ending that sets the stage quite nicely for a sequel. Being a Christian myself, I found the differences illustrated between Islam and Christianity very thought-provoking. In conclusion, I am excited to read the continuation of this excellent plot.
"Cannot wait for the next one"
This is even better that "The Last Jiahad." As other reviews have mentioned it did leave you hanging, but that is because there will be another book.
"Where did the rest of the story go?"
SPOILERS MAY BE CONTAINED HERE! But if you don't want to waste a credit, you should probably read this! The book starts out great and the reader/narrator does a few great accents and paints excellent pictures with his voice. The story starts before the lead character is even born, and continues briefly on to where the lead character is a young man on a fishing trip to Canada, and has a juvenile one-night-stand. Then a flash forward romp through the middle east on a near nuclear apocalyptic journey, with the young man as a CIA operative, interspersed with a "not very credible" CIA operative involved in an unlikely shootout, followed by a not very credible Islamic cleric's conversion to Christianity, followed by a return home, and then story ends, with no resolution to the impending nuclear disaster that the story leads up to throughout the previous 14.5 hours. There is nothing resolved about the 12th Imam. What happened to the main story line??? In fact, none of the story lines are resolved. I am sitting here, just having finished the listen, and asking myself...What the heck did I miss...where was this book going?? I was going to give it no stars if I could, but then you can't write a review on the book.
The book doesn't finish any story lines that it started, and seems like the book just ended and could possibly lead to a sequel, but I don't trust the author/publisher enough to get the next book for fear the same thing would happen. I wonder if the author was writing the book, the publisher stopped by while the writer was out to lunch, since he had a deadline he just grabbed the book, published it, only to find the author hadn't complete the story. Disjointed, scattered, no resolution to many of the story lines that you follow throughout the book.
Tired teacher. That is, REtired teacher.
"Strong story, Strong performance"
For a lot of this book I was thinking "Oh WOW." I was very involved emotionally pretty much from the start. There are a couple of things you will want to know about it before you read it however. First, it is the first book in a series. This book does not have a satisfying ending. It seems to stop in mid-air. I am so glad I knew that before I finished the book. Second, if you are offended by Jesus Christ, don't read it, as He does make an appearance, small as it is. For me, it was dramatic, a little startling, and it made perfect sense in the context of the story. I can't wait to read the sequel.
Christopher Lane is a topnotch narrator. He really brought the story to life.
"Definitely not the last!"
This was a great book, good narration that kept the suspense level until the very last 30 minutes. A couple twists and then....cliff hanger! Frustrating ending but the good news is the sequel will be out in October per the author's website. I will definitely be reading the next one.
Say something about yourself!
"Goes Downhill In a Serious Way"
The reader was fantastic.
The near constant talk (book 2 and especially book 3) about Jesus just killed it though. Also, this should not have been 3 books. It should have been 1 long one. When one ends it seems as though it's at a random place in the story.
No. I can only assume his writing will always revolve around Jesus. I've been preached to enough.
He's a great reader. Good with pacing, accents, volume, so on and so forth.
No because it would certainly be directed by Mel Gibson.
The first book isn't too bad with the preaching but it gets over the top by book three. If you're a Muslim, you're gonna have a bad time because he characterizes your religion in a very negative way. If you're an atheist, like me (*gasp*), you might roll your eyes out of your head by the third book with the constant Jesus talk. Plus, I notice the author doesn't swear in the book but, in some cases, has no problem going into detail with the torture scenes.
"Needs "Warning, contains Religious BS" disclaimer"
The story starts off well and progresses till the listener is assaulted with a religious fantasy that features both the Muslim and Christian Messiahs making appearances and Jesus clearly occupies the moral high ground. The entire premise of the story boils down to American = Christian = Good vs. Muslim = Religious Fanatic = Bad. The problems in the Middle East are complex and are not made any less so by reducing the discourse to a simple matter of conversion to Christianity solving the problems.
"well done"
A good and timely read given current events. More character development might have earned an extra star. There is a clear good and evil that I wish he would have blurred a bit more by going more into the motivations of the 'bad guys.'

Too often, we are mistaken for druidic types. perhaps that's true for some shaman, but do not let yourself be plagued by the ignorant belief that we are always peaceful.
Nothing about what I do is harmonious. I command the elements to my will. There is nothing offered in return. I would have it no other way.
Never assume an ogre's stupid, that's when they'll get you.
I think what you're referring to is http://www.worldofmatticus.com/uldua...odes-are-back/ which was posted in the news just before MoP launched.
The "Ulduar style hard mode" they were referring to is the Protectors of the Endless fight being similar to the Iron Council, not a future raid.

Next hero: Cassia, The Amazon Warmatron
If it's a troll raid it won't be nearly as cool as Ulduar. Part of Ulduar's appeal (to me, at least) is the old god tie ins, bosses, the lore/boss tie ins, etc. I realize this is ENTIRELY personal preference, but troll raids are boring and don't do anything for me. Yeah, I enjoyed ZG in Vanilla because it was something different but ZA felt like more of the same and when they came back as heroics I died a little inside. (Especially since it meant I'd never get the tiger mount, which was something I farmed forever despite hating everything about ZG by the time they changed it.)
Scale is important, but if it's a big raid with trolls and tons of trash I'll most likely just skip the whole tier. Hey, that's just me though.
Blizzard would know by simply refreshing MMO-C that everyone wants an Ulduar-style raid back. I would welcome it, but I hope there can be those triggered hardmodes, like they went with the "Elite" encounter (I don't raid, can't remember the encounter name), but better. They know the community wants it, and it's been a long time coming.
I have a feeling that there will be something else in there before the Org raid. Remember that they have to set up a rationale for the horde to depose their own leader. That includes the orcs, who right now (lore-wise) love Garrosh. Hell, even as bad a leader as Garrosh has been since he started this war, Baine and Vol'jin still won't cross him directly. They certainly are not happy with him, but something else needs to happen to push the horde into, effectively, civil war.
Given that 5.2 is supposed to be a large raid, I could see them leaving it in a little longer that normal (though hopefully not ICC/DS longer) and having 5.4 be setup for the Org raid. Or maybe 5.4 is something else entirely and 5.6 will be the Org raid.
All this complaining is simply further proof that Blizzard could send each and every player a real-life wish-granting flying unicorn carrying a solid gold plate of chocolate chip cookies wrapped in hundred dollar bills, and someone would whine that Blizzard sucks for not letting them choose oatmeal raisin.
"I just read it on this forum" is like saying, Romney will win the election because my neighbor told me.
I remember someone from blizz said that they liked Karazhan and Ulduar and they would like to do more raids like that.. it was in QA I think
People have to remember that Blizzard can't just make up a raid like Ulduar in between patches. Ulduar was being worked on before Wotlk even came out, and they had all the more resources to do so because they threw out the crap launch tier of t7, which only had 3 new bosses (including Archavon). They obviously weren't thinking that hard about what they were going to do past Ulduar either, because we got what's considered the worst tier ever in t9.
Basically, the most popular raid was sandwiched between two of the worst tiers (which obviously required very little planning and development compared to most) and had months upon months of development time. I doubt we'll see anything on that level for 5.2's raid.
well actualy t14 contains a boss witch are kind of ulduar style if you pick to kill someone different you go into the elite fight we all know witch fight it is
the ultimate answer's to all rogue issues :
-Rogues might still be dealing with the changes to combo points {2014}
Back when MoP was in beta, Blizzard made a post detailing that the first tier of MoP would have a large number of bosses who had unlockable mechanics similar to Ulduar-style bosses. (the elite gear comes from these) This didn't mean we were getting a Titan raid, but rather we were getting a large number of bosses with unlockable fight mechanics.
We have achieved both at this point, move along.
If this is true, this just means they will have more elite style bosses.
The only thing I can assume in patch 5.2 that there will be is "even more daily".
They didn't retcon anything about Y'Shaarj or the Old Gods in MoP.
P.S. I already know what you're going to claim is a retcon, and it's not. All that was previously stated before was that killing the Old Gods would destroy Azeroth. It was never said how they figured that fact out. Clearly the devastation wrought by Y'Shaarj's death is what made them realize that hey, maybe we should find a different way to deal with these guys.

Joyce Murray Second To Justin Trudeau In Fundraising For Leadership Run
OTTAWA - The latest fundraising numbers for federal Liberal leadership contenders suggest Joyce Murray has emerged as the primary challenger to front-runner Justin Trudeau.
The second of four weekly financial reports filed with Elections Canada show Trudeau raised another $35,000 over the past week, on top of the $1 million reported previously.
But Vancouver MP Murray continued to show momentum, pulling in $29,000, for a total of $198,000 over the entire campaign.
That moves her ahead of former Toronto MP Martha Hall Findlay, who has raised a total of $186,500.
Hall Findlay started out strongly, raising $115,000 by the end of last year.
But her fundraising effort seems to have stalled as the race heads down the home stretch; she raised just $7,500 over the past week.
Murray's campaign has been given a big boost from grassroots and online advocacy groups who've endorsed her strong environmental platform and her plan for one-time electoral co-operation among progressive parties aimed at ensuring defeat of Stephen Harper's Conservatives in 2015.
She's also received high-profile endorsements from the likes of environmental activist David Suzuki, former House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken and constitutional expert Peter Russell.
Among the other contenders, former cabinet minister Martin Cauchon raised $21,000 this week, for a total of $124,000.
Retired military officer Karen McCrimmon raised $6,000, for a total of $32,000.
And Toronto constitutional lawyer Deborah Coyne raised $2,000, for a total of $29,000.
In last year's NDP leadership race, the fundraising prowess of each of the contenders turned out to be a good indicator of the order in which they crossed the finish line.
The co-relation may not be quite as pronounced in the Liberal contest, the results of which are to be announced on April 14.
Unlike the NDP, which used a true one-member-one-vote system to elect Tom Mulcair, the Liberals intend to weight their votes to give each riding equal clout. Hence, the geographic distribution of each candidate's support could skew the outcome.
Party president Mike Crawley announced Thursday that 130,774 supporters and members have registered to vote — less than half the 294,000 who initially signed up to take part in the leadership contest.
Three quarters of those registered voters — some 98,250 — are supporters, according to Crawley. Just 32,750 are actual card-carrying, dues-paying members of the party.
The third-place Liberals created the new supporter class in a bid to open up the leadership process and engage more Canadians in the effort to rebuild the once-mighty party.
Depending on how many registered voters actually cast ballots, Crawley said the contest could be "the biggest, most open federal political party leadership vote in Canadian history."

As some of you may know, I love technology. I love the latest toys and gadgets for making sounds, or recording sounds, or reproducing sounds, and the ones that are just plain cool-looking. I love what the tools can do for my work, how they save me time and allow me to create more interesting designs. BUT. There is nothing like a live orchestra. I have heard all of the synthesizers, samplers, and virtual orchestras out there, and there is no comparison. A live musician is another ...

Star Wars will be on QVC October 27 at 2 in the morning.
It's been a while since I've seen a show on QVC and I'll try and watch this one tonight although it'll be tough seeing as how I have to be up at 6 in the morning.
I wonder if QVC temporarily lost the license or if it just didn't sell well enough to facilitate a show/segment any longer. Either way, I may try to stay up and watch it. Although 7:00 in the morning comes awfully quick even when I get enough sleep.
I just hope its the same guy who a few years ago sold baseball cards on an QVCesc station. It was great, he'd yell and scream "I HAVE MARK MCGUIRE ROOKIE CARDS, GEM MINT 10!" etc. :D
Hell yeah, that guy's name was Don West, right ?
lol lol lol
Anyone watch this last night? I was sleeping unfortunately so I missed it.
Either they were selling the backs of my eyelids or I was sleeping, too.Quote:

i stayed up til 2 AM to see it. what a waste. the signed poster art looked cool. sold out fast. 50 bucks can get ya lots of figures though. then it would prob cost about 150 more to have it framed. i passed on all and was disapointed. i was looking for another exclusive figure...(just what we need) or a signed carded figure.:sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:
I'm glad I didn't make an attempt to watch it then. I remember when the SE came out QVC would run shows several times a year and they'd have Steve Sansweet and they were actually worth watching.
Yeah, if you wanted to buy things for double retail price that could be found on clearance at the time.Quote:
