- November 2012: GloboSol annual report: Switzerland/Germany - Partner-meeting "Skillshare" - As a "première", some of our closest friends and solar colleagues from various foreign countries were invited to visit Globosol with Michael Götz. In the course of a manifold study and sight-seeing program, they also became acquainted with parts of Switzerland and southern Germany. Unfortunately only two guests were able to participate: Lorena Harp from Oaxaca, Mexico, the co-organizer of the project "Food-stalls in Mexico", and Sourakatou Ouro-Bangna, head of the solar center "Solasol" in Sokode,Togo. It was a stimulating event that nevertheless raised questions and unfortunately required significant administrative expense.
- March 2009: Jeunes Volontaires pour l'Environnement (JVE) taught over 150 people how to build and use solar cookers over the past year and a half. During a general assembly meeting in late 2007, about 100 participants from several cities in Togo, Cote d'Ivoire and Benin gathered for a workshop in Notse. Over the course of three days, participants learned basic solar cooking concepts and skills, participated in the construction of their own solar CooKits, gained valuable management skills, and heard testimony from JVE project participants about the many benefits solar cookers have brought to their lives. One such testimony came from a women involved with a JVE solar water pasteurization project in the Vo prefecture. She discussed how solar cooker use has reduced the number of pulmonary illnesses in the community, and how pasteurization skills have similarly lessened the incidence of waterborne disease. She also spoke vividly about how her status in the community had changed because of her involvement with the project, so much so that the chief now refers all issues of natural resources management to her — an example, she says, of how the role of women in the community is elevated with empowering projects like these. In August, 2008, JVE organized Operation Amis du Soleil, a five-day gathering in the Casablanca quarter of Lome that brought together dozens of people, mostly youth, to learn about solar cooker use and to build solar cookers for JVE's solar water pasteurization project in Vo prefecture. (Eleven women's groups in Vo produce solar cookers, but they are not always able to keep up with demand).
- August 2008: Sena Alouka of Jeunes Volontaires pour l'Environnement writes: "I am very happy to inform you that this morning we have started a mass production week, a special operation in Lomé, in response to a special interest expressed by the quarter where our office is based, Casablanca. Actually, the people of Casablanca kept blaming us for bringing the benefits of the solar cooking and water pasteurisation only to the Vo region women, whereas, they who are close to our office, do not even understand how it all work. So we decided, in cooperation with the Casablanca Development Committee to organise a weeklong training for all interested volunteers, youth especially, to train them about the cookits production. Iam thrilled with joy to inform you that, all the men and women of the place gathered this morning to attend the opening ceremony. Several old men and women were inthe attendance. At the time, Iam writting this mail about 55 young people are either preparing, the glue, some applying the foil while others are cutting the cookers. We have deliberately decided to organise it at the public place of Casablanca, next to the main road, thus bringing lot of attention and interest. The name OPERATION AMIS DU SOLEIL (Operation Friends of the Sun) is aimed at creating awareness around solar applications and harness the volunteer spirit of young people in the area where JVE is heardquatered for the benefit of the planet. A new club (CLUB DES AMIS DU SOLEIL) will be created at the end of this week (see program) and will help spread the solar good news to other areas of the city. On friday, a football match, the distribution of certificates to participants and other events will closed the week, with a serious media coverage. I am sending some pictures, which are just 3 hours old, in which you can see this morning's introduction to our project, demonstration, testing the heat, youth participants taking note of the lessons, preparing the glue, applying the foil and Q&A session. It is a nice idea for which Iam very proud about. It will be wonderful, if we can organise a second session of this in another Quarter, as many other quarters of Lomé are asking us to extend the initiative to their area as well. I am convinced that cardboard are a wonderful tool to address some of the energy problems we face today. The amazement i saw in the face of people, even well educated people who stopped by to see what was going on, is an eloquent testimony of the benefits of the solar cookers."
- December 2007: The General Assembly of Jeunes Volontaires pour l'Environnement was organised, 21-23 December 2007 in Notse, 150 km N of Lome. It was a skillshare on sun cooking designed for youth delegates, JVE-trained women sun cooks, partners from Togo, but also from Côte d'Ivoire and Benin. About a 100 participants attended with good gender representation. The message from the conference: World Populations, please GO SOLAR! Photos from the event are here. You can also read a report from the event.
- April 2007: Dozens of delegates from many parts of Togo and Ghana attended a conference last December in Lome themed "climate change: a socio-political challenge." The conference was organized by Jeunes Volontaires pour l'Environnement (JVE) and showcased solar cooking and solar water pasteurization. Demonstrations and construction workshops were available to conference attendees. Beneficiaries of a JVE solar project shared testimonials of how solar cooking has changed lives in the Vo region. Also attending the conference were Togo's Deputy Director of the Ministry of Environment, the Chief Cabinet to the Minister of Youth, and representatives of the media. Contact: Jeunes Volontaires pour l'Environnement
- November 2006: Jeunes Volontaires pour l'Environnement organized a regional solar cooking conference this past August in Vogan. Over 60 people from Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, and Togo attended, including Mr. Joseph Odey, a leading solar cooking promoter in Nigeria and Vincent Nnanna, who has been teaching solar cooking in Benin for years. Youth groups and women's groups from Togo sent representatives as well. Also attending were Togo's Deputy Minister of Energy and Water, the Attache to the Minister of Environment, and the Prefect of the Vo District. Many people learned to make and use solar cookers and were shown how to use the cookers to pasteurize drinking water. Some of the attendees from outside Togo were happy to take their newly constructed solar cookers back to their home countries. A parabolic-type solar cooker was assembled and presented to the District Hospital of Vogan. In addition, participants from several countries agreed to form the Network of Solar Actors of West Africa to promote further discussion and to foster the spread of solar technologies in the region. The Togolese Ministries of Energy and Environment sponsored the conference. Additional support was received from Norges Naturvernforbund, a Norwegian nongovernmental organization.

VIDEO: The Truth Should Not Be A Secret
Debunking Top Myths in HHS Debate
As Obama's contraception mandate has dominated media coverage across the country, truth has taken a backseat to blatant error, leading the public astray on this important religious liberty issue.
Watch this series of six short videos that debunk the myths surrounding the HHS mandate. Join us when we say, "The truth should not be a secret!"
Take Action – Sign The Petition Now
Learn more – The Becket Fund's HHS Contraception Mandate Challenge
Myth #1: "28 states — more than half — in the country have laws with contraception coverage mandates."
Truth: The federal mandate actually goes much deeper. In states where there are mandates religious organizations can simply opt out by self-insuring or dropping prescription drug coverage. The federal mandate does not allow any of these alternatives, and does not protect our religious liberty.
Myth #2: "If you receive federal funding you have to comply by federal rules. You can't have your cake and eat it too!"
Truth: The mandate forces every group health plan in America to cover these drugs whether the group gets federal funds or not. There is no opt-out. The government is making religious groups choose between offering services they believe to be immoral or closing their doors. That would have the terrible consequences of withdrawing charitable religious organizations from our country's social safety net. Who will bear the brunt of this backwards policy? The poor, the homeless, the sick and the hungry.
Myth #3: These drugs don't cause an abortion! Catholics should learn a little bit about biology.
Truth: Biology does not dictate theology. Reasonable people may disagree about when a pregnancy begins, but for individuals who believe that human life begins at the moment of fertilization, not implantation, these drugs destroy innocent life. More specifically, the mandate requires religious organizations to cover Plan B, the morning after pill, and Ella, the week after pill, both of which can terminate a human life after fertilization. Also, RU486, A.K.A. the abortion drug, is currently being tested, and if approved by the FDA as an emergency contraceptive would automatically be mandated as well.
Myth #4: Employees who do not share the same faith of their religious employer should not be deprived of health care because of their employer's religious beliefs.
Truth: Religious groups believe in promoting the well-being and health of their employees and students, which is why they provide health insurance; but as part of their religious commitment, they cannot cover services that are inconsistent with their religious faith. Employees are free to purchase these services even if they are not covered under a religious employer's plan. And employees and students at religious organizations know — when they accept a job or enroll as a student — they do so at a religious institution that takes seriously its faith commitment.
Myth #5: The federal mandate actually protects women's health because it increases access to free birth control.
Truth: Access isn't the issue. 9 out of 10 employer-based insurance plans already cover these services. There is no need for the government to force religious groups to provide these services against their religious convictions.
Myth #6: In a recent poll, 98% of Catholic women said they already used artificial birth control anyhow. So what's the big deal?
Truth: This isn't about Catholics or contraception. This is about the government coercing religious institutions to violate their own beliefs. No one disputes that individuals can disagree with the teaching of their church. But that isn't an invitation for the government to meddle in church business. Opinion polls don't dictate religious organizations rights. Birth control may be popular, but steamrolling religious objectors is not. America's conscience will not permit us to sacrifice religious liberty.
9 Responses to "VIDEO: The Truth Should Not Be A Secret"
Thank-you for these well-communicated clips that frame the challenge.
Great short videos on the myths around this issue. I wish I could show these in the classroom! The welcoming of the free exchange of ideas is not something always welcome in educational environments.
Thank you so much for the truth and the work you do.
Obama and his cohorts are viiontlag the fundamental principles of our country with this rule. As the Declaration of Independence states, we all have an inalienable right to property and the pursuit of happiness. Obtaining such property is part of that pursuit. John Locke stated that "every man has a property in his own person" which includes our conscience. James Madison stated "government is instituted to protect property of every sort Conscience is the most sacred of all property ". This rule then takes away our precious right to property even apart from our religious freedoms. There need not be any provision for some religious waiver for organizations or people to protect their property right of conscience. Such a fundamental right to property should always be protected no matter whether it is associated with a religious belief or not. People need to stand up and protest this effort both now and in November 2012.
Great responses, except for this one:
"for individuals who believe that human life begins at the moment of fertilization, not implantation"That an individual human's life begins at fertilization is not a theological "belief" but a biological fact.
Your explanation of Myth 5 demonstrates that it is not a myth. How did that one get past your editors?
Thank you for sharing these insights regarding the many myths which much of the media uses to misrepresent this important issue. It is about religious liberty, not woman's health.
Thanks for passing on the truth.
Thank you for providing these myth busters!

COLUMBUS - The Ohio Supreme Court yesterday upheld a lower court's decision in the contested election of an Erie County judge.
Erie County Common Pleas Court Judge Ann Maschari contested last March's Democratic primary vote result, which she lost by 904 votes to Tygh Tone. She claimed the results were influenced by hundreds of crossover Republican voters whose party affiliation was not challenged by poll workers.
The 6th District Court of Appeals in June found in favor of Mr. Tone and affirmed the election results.
The supreme court voted 4-2, with Paul E. Pfeifer and Terrence O'Donnell dissenting and Alice Robie Resnick not participating.

New milk campaign features pin-up girls in liquid dresses
Fairlife Purely Nutritious Milk is available Denver King Soopers and Albertsons stores now, and coming later in March to Walmart and Safeway.
To promote the new product, Fairlife produced a provocative ad campaign featuring models covered in milk — and not much else.
The ads use images created by London-based Polish artist Jaroslav Wieczorkiewicz. He specializes in photographing women covered in milk. For the Fairlife ads, he created a series of images inspired by vintage pin-up girl calendars. The ads will appear on billboards and in print around town.
Produced through a filtration process, the milk has 50 percent more protein and calcium than regular milk, half the sugar, and no lactose. It tastes like regular milk (no chalky texture) and comes in skim, two percent and chocolate.
Fairlife milk comes in 32-ounce ($2.99) and 52-ounce bottles ($3.29 to $4.29).
Fairlife was founded by Indiana dairy farmers Mike and Sue McCloskey.
The milk comes from Select Milk Producers, a co-op of dairy farms in New Mexico, Texas and the Midwest that also provides the milk for Core Power, a popular milk-based recovery drink that was the official protein drink of the Sochi Olympics.
Both Fairlife and Core Power are partners in Coca-Cola's Venturing and Emerging Brands unit.

Written by Daniel Hazard
'It joyfully confesses that God is God, and we aren't'
Editor's note: The Rev. Michael Kinnamon - highly regarded as a gifted teacher, preacher, ecumenist and global church leader - was asked by the UCC's Stillspeaking Initiative to offer reflections on why someone might consider joining the UCC. Here are his 10 reasons.
Because, in an era when communities so often define themselves by whom they exclude, this community joyfully claims an identity as those who welcome the excluded, even as Christ had welcomed us.
Because, in an age of growing fundamentalism, this community joyfully seeks to be a "People of the Book" who, at the same time, feel no need to protect the Bible from the modern world.
Because, in a society where beating the competition is regarded as the highest value, this community joyfully treasures the gifts that God has given to other parts of Christ's one body, and to neighbors of other faiths. Because, instead of focusing only on personal blessedness in another world, this community joyfully focuses on the power of God to make this world other, a place of shalom for all God's children.
Because, in a culture dominated by images of self-fulfillment, this community joyfully celebrates that its members live no longer for themselves but for Christ and, thus, for their neighbors, each of whom bears sacred image of the Creator.
Because, resisting the extremes of hierarchical power and do-your-own-thing individualism, this community joyfully attempts to live by covenant of mutual accountability, grounded in God's covenant with us.
Because, in an age of horrifying violence, this community hears the call of the Holy Spirit to be just peacemakers, even when this is a costly thing to be.
Because, while it resists bumper-sticker religion, this community joyfully insists on thinking globally and acting locally.
Because, at its best, this community is marked by bold humility, precisely because it joyfully confesses that God is God and we aren't.
Because, in a culture that is willing to speak of God so long as God is kept safely contained in past traditions, this community joyfully proclaims that the living God is still speaking, and that is very good news.
Kinnamon, an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is the Allen and Dottie Miller Professor of Mission and Peace at UCC-related Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis.

Vegan Pizzadillas
This fast and fun dinner idea is a mash-up of pizza and quesadillas. Basically, you're filling soft taco-size tortillas with the kinds of ingredients you'd use for making pizza — marinara sauce, vegan cheese, and lots of veggies. And you can just wing it as far as measurements, too. For a one-person meal, cut the recipe in half. All you need to complete this meal is a substantial salad with some cooked quinoa, beans or chickpeas, and/or sunflower seeds for a protein boost. This serves 2 hungry people or 4 moderately (1 or 2 pizzadillas per serving). Photos by Hannah Kaminsky.
Broccoli, Mushroom, and Sun-Dried Tomato Pizza
Using plenty of broccoli makes this easy pizza a nourishing meal. Serve a big salad with mixed greens and plenty of raw veggies, embellished with olives and chickpeas. Use as many of the shortcuts as you'd like, making this a super-quick preparation; I've provided from-scratch options for sauce and crust (even a gluten-free option!) for when you have more time. more→

Shepherd's Pie Pizza
Some people are born to rock 'n' roll. Others are born to ride. I was born to put mashed potatoes on pizza. I've done it so many ways I can't even remember them all, but this was my favorite. Mashed potatoes, carrots, peas, and plenty of savory herbs make an unusually hearty cross between shepherd's pie and pizza.

Looks like the next manufactured bubble will be in green investments. the st0ckman will analyze this sector and report back with his recommendations. Subscribe now for updates.
The Editor of Expresso in Portugal wanted my take on the recent G-20 communique. Here is my "translation" of the official statement:
1. Now that the growth of debt and derivatives bubbles has stalled, we are committed to using governmental-central bank mechanisms to cover the positions of any of the large private financial institutions whose profits are at risk due to their management of these bubbles and who can use this opportunity to squeeze and acquire smaller rivals at low cost.
2. Our commitment to use derivatives and market interventions to shift investment from the real economy and commodities into a paper economy is firm. We will continue to use centralized governmental mechanisms to subsidize and manage this process.
3. All of the organizations and players who reaped a fortune engineering the debt and derivatives bubbles will be allowed to keep their winnings.
4. We will use this period of consolidation to further centralize the global financial system by enforcing greater centralization of the standards, practices and control of enforcement and regulatory bureaucracies. This increased governmental centralization will be presented as the "fix" for our "problems."
5. We will continue the move toward one world government and one world currency.
6. We are prepared to use coordinated inflation of global money supplies and fiscal stimulus to protect our control and positions.
7. We are committed to the Slow Burn (see my blog post on this subject).
8. This process will continue to be managed to protect large insurance and risk positions.
9. The net result will be to continue to exercise growing control over the real economy by a handful of private families and institutions designed to protect and grow intergenerational wealth.
G-20 are silent on the military and covert action that will be required to make this stick. They are also silent on how they are going to manage this much inflation. For example, the most recent figures from the St. Louis Fed indicate that the aggregate monetary base is growing at an annualized rate of almost 800%.
Watch for a new focus on "green investing" as the trick in all of this will be how to create new productivity when the absence of real prices mean there is no market to provide the necessary signals and financial incentives.

Doubs (French pronunciation: [du]; Arpitan: Dubs) is a department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of eastern France named after the Doubs River.
As early as the 13th century, inhabitants of the northern two-thirds of Doubs spoke Franc-Comtois, a dialect of Langue d'Oïl. Residents of the southern third of Doubs spoke a dialect of the Arpitan language. Both languages co-existed with French, the official language of law and commerce, and continued to be spoken frequently in rural areas into the 20th century. They are both still spoken today but not on a daily basis.
Doubs was important as a portal to Switzerland through the pass at Joux. Many famous people, including Mirabeau, Toussaint Louverture and Heinrich von Kleist, were imprisoned in the Château de Joux.
Doubs is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on 4 March 1790. It was created from part of the former province of Franche-Comté. The prefecture (capital) is Besançon.
In 1793, the republic of Mandeure was annexed by France and incorporated into the department. This district was passed between various territories and departments in the ensuing administrative reorganisations and wars, but was restored to Doubs in 1816 when the former principality of Montbéliard was also added to the department.
However, the commune of Le Cerneux-Péquignot was annexed by the Canton of Neuchâtel under the terms of the 1814 Treaty of Paris, and since remained Swiss territory.
Between the defeat of France at the Battle of Waterloo and November 1818, Doubs was included in the area occupied by Austrian troops.
Victor Hugo, Gustave Courbet, and Auguste and Louis Lumière are among the famous people born in Doubs.
Doubs is part of the current region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and is surrounded by the French departments of Jura, Haute-Saône, and Territoire de Belfort, and the Swiss cantons of Vaud, Neuchâtel, and Jura.
The department is dominated by the Jura mountains, which rise east of Besançon.
The President of the General Council is Claude Jeannerot of the Socialist Party.

"American Idol's" vocal coach Jimmy Iovine wanted Pia Toscano to knock Randy Jackson right out of his judges' chair during Wednesday, Mar. 30's Top 11 (Part 2!) show. And guess what? She did. Well, metaphorically, anyway.
Pia chose Elton John's classic "Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me." As per usual, she nailed the song and hit every single note.
Last week, Jackson asked Pia to perform anything but a ballad, advice she decided not to follow. Luckily, Jackson wasn't too upset. "You sung a ballad every time… and guess what? You slayed them every time." He said he heard some Whitney Houston, some Mariah Carey in her performance and proclaimed that she was amazing. Jackson did say she should do something more up tempo next week to show that she has a range. Pia promised to show something different next week, provided viewers vote her through.
Steven Tyler said the judges were wrong for asking her not to do another ballad, telling her she nailed it and made him cry inside. Jennifer Lopez agreed, saying her notes took her to another worldly place. She also added, she felt her more than she has in any other performance before.
After this performance, we're pretty sure Pia is a lock for Season 10's Top 3. What do you think, Zappers?

After a long day on the road it was a relief to pull in here. The beds felt almost new, no lumps or bumps. Nine large TV, very good picture. They had the usual iron, ironing board, hair dryer, travel sized toiletries, big mirror and sink counter, shower/tub combo with grab bars. I couldn't ask for more in an overnight stop while traveling.
As a Diamond Club member I receive a small bag with a water and a snack upon arrival at every Best Western I have stayed at this year. Maybe not a big deal to some but to me, a welcomed treat. The hotel staff advised that they didn't do that. When I asked the staff the next morning when checking out, they said that they do a suite upgrade instead. I asked them to check my bill because my room ($96.00) was not a suite. They told me that the night staff person didn't give me the suite upgrade and that they were sorry.
On our way to the mountains, we stopped in on Saturday evening, around 830PM. The lady at the counter was very helpful and extremely nice. She explained everything in great detail and gave us a really good rate on a king bed room, with my senior discount. The room was clean and nice, except for the ceiling in the bathroom above the shower head, which was damaged because the shower head was way too high. I am 6'4" and I could barely reach it to adjust the direction of spray. My wife could not reach it at all. Because of it being so high, the steam and/or spray from it has damaged the ceiling directly above the shower head. Other than this, we enjoyed our stay, including the breakfast the following morning.
The hotel is average. It is certainly not the worst place I have stayed but far from being the best. The rooms are not particularly clean-very dusty around the floor and baseboard. The bathroom was ok. The bed had pieces of paper on top of the comforter when we arrived. Again, just ok.
Very nice staff. Clean rooms. Rooms have some wear and tear, but not bad and made me feel right at home. LOL. Breakfast not up to my expectations but was fair. The whirlpool tub was awesome. Nice clean and quiet.
We spent one night here on our way through the South. Staff is friendly and helpful but the rest is absolutely average. It could do with some TLC here and there and the room we had had a funny (oldish) smell to it. It works for an overnighter - but thats it!
If you want clean rooms, great breakfast and a friendly staff... then you must stay here. I was here on a business trip that lasted near two weeks and it was certainly nice to come back to the hotel in the evening to a nice clean room. I felt safe and I was comfortable.... I will come again, for sure.
We show livestock at the Georgia National Fair. We are up early & to bed late . After long days we are looking for comfortable beds & quite place to rest . The room vas very comfortable. Breakfast was a plus on our way back to the barn. Close to the fair grounds also.
Newer hotel with indoor hallway entrances. Average size room. Spacious bath with minimal shampoo and bath soap only. Our AC, internet, TV, and fridge all worked well. Friendly staff allowed us to check in an hour early on weekend of fair and hurricane. They also pointed out all hotel features. Hot breakfast smelled great though we overslept. Indoor pool appeared very well kept. We'll choose to stay here again when we visit family.
Noticed a faint hint of smoke around registration desk, elevator smelled dusty even without carpet, halls smelled clean but turning AC down in room resulted in an unpleasant smell. AC wasn't loud but didn't really cool down room to the set temperature. Room was quite roomy & bathroom appeared to have been updated with nice counter and a toilet that is so forceful that it vibrates the floor. If you flush during the night, you'll wake everyone like we were awakened early Friday morning by multiple flushes; we were on the top floor. Bathroom lights almost blinding instead of the usual not bright enough. Did not like that you had to prop the bathroom door open or it shut by itself. King bed was comfortable without sagging. Room was otherwise quiet despite being full of fair goers & hurricane evacuees. Didn't see any boiled eggs or real oatmeal at breakfast. Small uninviting area. Staff was nice.
We stopped here around 2am as the midway point of our drive to Florida. The room was clean and was able to accommodate 5 adults, the staff was friendly, and the breakfast was tasty. The price was a little high for being in the middle of nowhere, but it was worth it.
Our third stay at this Best Western. We are never disappointed. Clean quiet. Good breakfast. Easy on off Interstate. Good value. Comfy beds. Didn't realize that Perry has a historic district. Will visits that the next time we drive thru and stay.
Stayed here for one night on the way to Florida. Room was very nice and bathroom was extremely modern and clean. Ease of location just off route 95 but situated so that you heard no traffic noise in your room.
Spent one night. In town for a Horse Show at the Fair grounds. Hotel is very convenient to the fair grounds. Smooth check in, clean room, everything worked. Hit the indoor pool and hot tub during free time, very nice. Staff was pleasant. My wife had a problem with interstate noise. The "full breakfast was motel standard. Pans of eggs and bacon etc but well done. Over delivered everything to a pretty good standard.
this was probably the best hotel we stayed in on this trip. friendly staff inside access to rooms which always makes you feel safer, large clean room big comfy bed and good breakfast in the morning. with all that in mind its a very good hotel but then we went down to the indoor pool and it has a Jacuzzi and after two weeks on the road we were as happy as pigs in muck. very quiet safe area there is a waffle house and a cracker barrel just up the road. Perry is about 5mins drive but not sure if its a southern thing but Perry was closed when we arrived nice looking town good place for a wander.
We always make a point of stopping at this Best Western location in Perry, GA every year after our visit with the family up north. Great location conveniently located off of the interstate. We feel safe in the area. Cracker Barrel within walking distance doesn't hurt either! Hotel facilities and rooms are clean and a nice layout of hot breakfast available before we check out. Thanks!
I have stayed at this hotel twice, about 6 months apart. Both times I have found the staff to be very helpful and they always have greeted me with a smile. The campus is very clean and appears to have been updated frequently. They upgraded the fitness room since the last time I stayed here. I have found the rooms to be very clean, the AC cools the room very well, and I haven't had a problem with noise from other guests (I assume the hotel is built very well to minimize the noise). I will stay here every time I pass through Perry.
There were about 20 rooms booked for this convention in July of 2015 and we were pleased. I personally believe the management and front desk went far out of their way to make us feel at home. My parents and several of group actually needed handicap accessory rooms. With so many different needs the front desk personnel were so friendly and helped everyone understand their billing, accommodating any special needs, and the breakfast area was really clean also. The food was fresh and kept clean during the busiest of time. The rooms were vacuumed with clean linen. Also, there was plenty of room for us to congregate and catch up on which was great for all of us, especially the older folks that were with us. Even the chairs and seating area in the lobby was exceptional and roomy. I would definitely stay there again. In fact I am a little late writing this review and have planned a trip in Sept. 2016 I have already made my reservations at this very same hotel. They have the same management and actually remembered us coming.
Perry, Georgia is our half-way point between destinations in Kentucky and Florida. I chose this particular hotel at the last minute because our first choice was booked (we were not sure if we were stopping for the night). I also wanted to allow my sons (ages 9 and 7) to expel energy at the swimming pool. Although the pool served its intended purpose, the whirlpool was cold and as disappointing as our entire stay. The hotel appears decent upon entering, but everything is downhill from there. The front desk staff is not friendly, and the rest of the hotel has a feeling of being over-used. I wouldn't go as far as calling it "dirty" because our room was mostly clean. Everything just has an outdated, beat-up look. The room was large and included two queens beds, a sofa couch, and a breakfast table with stained upholstered chairs. The bathroom was clean without complaint. One of our lamps had a broken lightbulb assembly with exposed wires, which was especially scary because the light would still come on. I had not completely decided to never stay at this hotel again until breakfast, however. Breakfast is served from 6 AM - 9 AM and includes hot and cold foods. My family ventured down at 8:40 with seemingly half of the guests in the hotel. At 8:50, the breakfast area is absolutely FULL of guests obtaining food, and the worker begins to break the area down! I had been assisting my sons with their breakfast, and had to ask her to stop so that I could get food. Mind you, the bins that she was removing were not empty, it was not 9 AM, and there were numerous other people attempting to also get breakfast. My sons had to sit on the floor with their cereal on a coffee table because the eating area had no available seats. As I fixed my plate, I turned around to see that the worker had flipped the chairs on top of the tables as they became empty. This was appalling, because many people were still eating at adjoining tables and MANY people were still trying to get breakfast and a seat! The actions of this employee were nothing short of aggressive, and I can guarantee that I will never set foot in this hotel again.
Great place to stay. Close to lots of attractions. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and the room was large and cozy. The cleaning staff does an excellent job. Would definitely stay there again.
Since my family is from the area, we rarely need to get a hotel there. Also many of them are very old and out of date. Best Western seems to have been one of the few who have done updates and offer rates that are better than the nearby Holiday Inn Express. Even better, they are one of the few hotels that has an indoor pool & hot tub. That matters because middle Georgia tends to get hotter than the sun's front porch during the summers. The rooms were quiet due to good walls and pretty spacious. Also the microwaves and frig are wonderful additions. The breakfast was the best part of the stay. Far from some simple continental offering, there were many options. Grits, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, biscuits & gravy, cold serial with 3 kinds of milk, breakfast muffins and danishes, fruit, and juice. The staff kept the breakfast area stocked all through breakfast. Though seating was tight, the free breakfast made it worth it. The pool can stand to be cleaned or filtered a little more but it was great that it was an indoor pool. The AC units in the rooms are always great because they can be adjusted to suit your needs.
We ride very frequently between Missouri and Florida and usually in each way, we spend one nite in a hotel. The last time we stopped in Perry, GA, and, as always, we were tired and want to sleep comfortable. This time we chose Best Western and, thanks God, was a very good choice. We've decided to make this our stop from now on.
I'm not staying here again. The pool doesn't seem to work. The heat is on in the 100 degree summer and there is no heat in the winter. Twice we've tried to give them a chance and it bit us in the butt. I'm not falling for it again.
Very nice and clean hotel room. Hotel appears to have been remodeled or is fairly new. The breakfast buffet was a nice plus, included bacon, powdered eggs and biscuits. I really enjoyed the in room coffee.
The staff at this hotel are always accommodating and will go beyond the call of duty to make your day a good one. The rooms are always clean that's why I keep coming back my only problem is the different taxes we are having to pay state, city, and a additional $ 5.00 for Georgia Transportation per day is too much per day something needs to be done about this.
After searching for lodging for 2.5 hours on 75N, we came across this Best Western. It was a quick check on process thankfully, because we were exhausted at 3am! It was very clean with comfortable beds. The bathroom was huge. We had a 2 queen room with a fold out couch. Rate wasn't too bad either.
I stayed single night for business at this hotel. Checkin and staff were courteous and professional. The room was very clean but had minor issues, including electrical issue with bathroom light that caused it to flicker like a strobe and noticeable wear and tear. The breakfast was ok, but I was leery of the eggs and sausage based on the looks of both. Overall good value for this level of hotel.
Stayed here while in town for an event at the Georgia Fairgrounds, and the location was ideal for that purpose. You do have to go through a kind of weird intersection to find the inn, so be prepared for that--it's visible from the major road though. Close to I-75, and there's a Cracker Barrel nearby, so it would be convenient for travelers. We stayed in a king suite very typical of any other brand. The bed was comfortable enough; the room and the hotel itself were very clean. Apparently they serve a fairly substantial breakfast, but since I'm not an early riser I missed it. Limited toiletries in the room (no conditioner!), and if you need sheets for the hide-a-bed made sure you get them from the front desk before it closes! I would stay here again...it was a good value.
So I stayed here while working in town. I went off the ratings its gotten thus far. Not really impressive, but when compared to the other mid-cost hotels I guess that's how it got its ranking. Pool is nice. Indoor. Lobby is nice and breakfast was pretty good. The hall way are bit low ceiling and carpet a bit worn. Many coats of paint show age. Room is nothing special but its a nice sized room. My old worn recliner didn't work properly. Bed and linens were nice. The room is clean and not terribly dated but a bit older. The water pressure is kinda low. Overall its nice. Not great and not near bad. Its a quiet dead end street but boarders the highway on one side. That might be loud but I was on the other side. This room falls into the second tier of prices for the area in my opinion. you have really low 4th tier, I wouldn't stay at unless I had to. Then the 3rd tier which are budget minded but decent for a night. Then the next tier which are nice but not the most expensive and then you have the 1st tier which is most expensive/nicest. This is a 2nd tier. and around 25-30% less than 1st tier. so if a 1st tier is $120 you do the math. I gave it 3 outta 5 because its average for the price. there are a few hotels in this range I also reviewed.
This Hotel is top notch! The clerk at check in was very professional, the hotel cleanliness and exterior appearance was fantastic! I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Perry/Warner Robbins area for business or pleasure.
The location of the hotel was excellent. It was right around from our conference and had restaraunts within close proximity. Our room had to be switched because the bed was dirty. The breakfast was horrible. The food quality was poor. Was not a good value for what you pay.
Happens to be halfway between home and a visiting destination. Handicap suite is roomy, however has a fixed shower head. Breakfast is OK, but limited selections. The sneeze bar is so low it is difficult to obtain selections.
My family and I stayed here for one night on our way to Florida, the room was very clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
We stay at the Best Western in Perry several times a year when passing through the area. It is consistantly clean, and the employees are usually very helpful. Breakfast is average for a Best Western, but satisfying. There are several restaurants and shopping facilities in the area. It is also convenint to the State Fairgrounds.
I can honestly say that each time that I stay at this hotel they are always doing things to make my stay more comfortable and more enjoyable. The staff are friendly and pleasant to talk to. Keep up the good work and I will always stay here and recommend your location to my friends,family and co-workers when they are in this area.
When we travel we cannot prebook a room. We don't know how far we will get. It is nice to see that we generally can get a nice room at Best Western on a walk in basis and at a reasonable price. Why 200 characters. I said what needed to be said
Just an overnight stay on our way home from Florida. After a long day of driving we saw the Best Western and knew we didn't have to look farther. The rooms were nice and clean and they serve a warm breakfast. Everything we needed for another long day on the road.
Room was very clean when we arrived. Breakfast looked good the next morning but we couldn't stay as we're had to leave quickly due to a minor crisis. We would definitely stay at this property again. Cracker Barrel was conveniently located in the back yard if you opted NOT to take advantage of the FREE breakfast provided by Best Western.
The hotel staff was very friendly and even helped me pick the right two bedroom suite with a great price! The room was clean and the pool was great (having two energetic kids with us)! As for the breakfast, pretty typical food including a couple of hot things (eggs, bacon, and sausage gravy). Well, I am too picky so I brought my own food. My husband said the sausage gravy was bland and eggs tasted fake but the kids always like junk food. Nice place to stay however be warned ... the halls are HOT! It was set at 82 degrees so it felt stuffy and uncomfortable in the halls. And very thin walls. We could hear people talking on both sides of us and hear their TV's and I am sure they heard us! But for the price and pool, we enjoyed it!
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable (as comfortable as you can get in a hotel) They had a nice display of breakfast and several food choices. We had the king suite and the room was a lot bigger than I expected. We would definitely visit this location again.
This Best Western was one of the best places I have stayed in this price range. It was ultra clean and very welcoming. The staff was excellent and helpful. I would go out of my way to stay at this particular hotel again!
We stay here every year because the breakfast is good and we have a tradition of walking (feels good after a long car ride) to the Cracker Barrel for a late supper. The hot tub felt good to soak feet in (we forgot bathing suits) and the shower head in the morning was a NICE height - plenty of room for tall heads! I appreciated the fridge in the room and the ice machine.
Motel is last on the road....past other businesses. Crackle Barrel is walking distance. Staff friendly and rooms clean and comfortable. Rooms could use an "update"...and a bit pricey. Breakfast was the usual served at best westerns!
We stopped here after a long day of driving. Very pleasant girl at desk when we checked in. Reception area was very nice and clean. Room was adequate, bathroom needed some updating but the bed was very comfortable. Had a GREAT Breakfast which was a hot breakfast with adequate variety. The room was a little pricey based on others in the area. Location was good. The only drawback was our room was along the interstate and was somewhat noisy with truck traffic. We were very tired and slept through most of it but sitting in our room road noise was very evident.
This is our third time over the years of travelling to Florida, that we have stayed in this hotel. We are always satisfied with the service, the cleanliness, the value for our money. Depending on the time we leave home, depends on whether we can make it this far, though. This is where we like to stay, if we can.
Very friendly staff, beautiful lobby and rooms. So many things going on in Perry Georgia. It was a short stay but full of fun. Thanks Best Western Staff for making my stay wonderful. Look forward to seeing you in the future.
Always a pleasure to stay at the Best Western in Perry Ga. They treat my wife and I as family. Not often you can walk into a motel and the desk clerk remembers your name from a visit about a year earlier.
Very clean, great staff, would not hesitate for a second to stay again. Nicely furnished, updated. The night gal was so awesome she was very helpful and friendly made me feel like a valued customer. Thank you!
Everything was fine, except for the very strong, overpowering oder of air freshener in the room. After one hour, I developed a splitting headache and sever allergies. Had to go outside to get fresh air. After about four or five hours, the oder subsided some and by morning just a hint of it.
I was traveling with family, including twins under one year. Beds were very comfortable. Our room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was very good. Access from I75 was very easy. The indoor pool made the children happy! We will definitely use this hotel again
This is one of the cleanest hotels with the most helpful staff that we have stayed at. Will definitely be staying there next year for the state fair and the rodeos. Even though it's only a few hours from home, it was nice to not have to hurry to get home. There is decent shopping in the neighboring town as well. Parking for the hotel can get a tad hectic during big events. Hotel has easy access to freeway and Georgia National Fairgrounds.
This is a good option for snowbirds that drive going south from the far north more than 21 hours. This was our second stop for sleep and it was perfect. Comfortable, clean with the basics . It offers wifi, complementary breakfast in a cozy kitchen style dining area that make you feel,at home with scramble eggs, bacon, waffles and fruit, pastries and breads. The pool and sauna are clean and enjoyable . We recommend this place. Very convenient location with easy access to,interstate 75 . A lot of restaurants near to the hotel
It was on a late night drive headed home from Orlando, that we stopped in for a room. Greeted by a nice lady at the front desk we got the room we needed and headed up to crash. Nice clean, quiet, comfy room with microwave and refridge. A hot breakfast of eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, waffles, muffins, cereal, oatmeal, fruit ect was just what us hungry weary travelers needed. Good price, easy to get to location and nice staff rounded out the stay. Also, there was a nice pool that we didn't have time to use. Everything we needed! Would stay here again.
My family and I went to Perry to visit family and to go to the Georgia National Fair. The hotel was booked because of the fair, but they were very friendly and helpful. The pool was warm as well as the sauna. We were close to the fair and places to eat. The room was comfortable and clean. the hotel kept our room clean and stocked on toiletries. We will go back the next time we are in the area.
My family and I stopped here on our way to Walt Disney world. The hotel was clean and except for the fact that we couldn't refold the sofa bed, the hotel accommodations were adequate. The heated pool was not heated as advertised and the hot tub ((which could only be turned on by hotel staff at the desk) never came near to reaching "hot". So while the room itself was fine, I found the staff lacking in customer skills. No one greeted us during check in or check out. No one seemed particularly interested in assisting us for anything. Staff seemed bored and disinterested.
the staff is always on point. the hotel is clean and inviting and I like that they have a whirl pool tub in my room. I love to relax and sleep. I look forward to my visit and wish i could come more often.
Very clean hotel. Staff treat you better than family. They were helpful with questions about the area. The breakfast buffet is very good and well stocked for breakfast in the mornings. Will be coming back again.
We stay at the Best Western in Perry several times a year when passing through the area. We always feel welcome and safe here. Breakfast is average, but plentiful. We noticed that the room was not quite as clean this visit as in the past. There seemed to be an odor. Wifi worked well.
Stayed here last minute reservation. approx 9pm arrival. Front Desk was friendly and attentive. Room was clean and comfortable. Good nights sleep. Breakfast was the usual, eggs, bacon, waffles etc. and was good. Overall a good stay and would stay again if in the area.
I come in every year and last year was not able to get a room at the best western Bradbury needless to say I made sure this year for state I had my room. Place was clean bed was perfect for sleeping after a long day of showing horses. I plan on making reservation for next years state again in January that way in know I will be at the nicest place to stay in Perry.
We stayed the week of the NBHA Youth World Championships at the Fairgrounds. The staff was nice, the property was kept clean inside and out. Don't sleep in - or you won't get service! They will give you towels at the desk though. Pool was very nice and they let you stay in late if you were quiet! :) Guest Laundry was a nice touch and not stuck in the back of the property ... just off the lobby. Breakfast was what you expect .... nothing special .. but a quick bite ... they close right on time - so don't be late! The rooms are nice, recently updated. They are missing a few items (Tissue, DND door sign, guest directory etc)... but the room had the basics, bedding and mattress were new and comfortable .. plenty of hot water in the shower. We will be back!

I keep hearing that NASA cannot do what it needs to because congress will not pay for it. (it also seems like congress make certain ridiculous requirements just to make NASA's job harder.) Where is the NASA site where I can donate a few $k to the one government program I approve of?

NASA won't get any more money if you donate...
Congress would just say: "Hmm... public is supporting it with X amount, so we can spend X less on them!" and probably just spend more on Iraq |

IrquiM is correct.
I never would donate to NASA because it is governmental and obeys to political rules - the donation wouldn't be used the right way. Next NASA's program is uneconomic. Dipl.-Volkswirt (bdvb) augustin (Political Economist) |

Nasa should take a page out of the Russians book and try some capitalistic ideas if needs more cash. Like pinting the Shuttle ET bright red with a big coca-cola logo, or taking paying tourists.

Dana White would never tell you with a straight face, but canceling UFC 151 might have been a good thing. Hypothetically, let's say that the event went off as planned.

Big Mouth: Chael Sonnen is becoming the UFC's biggest star
Posted on 29 Aug 2012 by Erik Schmidt.
Chael Sonnen once boldly stated that he had the biggest arms in West Linn, Oregon. To be sure, his biceps are rather impressive, a set of thick pythons jutting out prominently from his body, ready to grasp onto something and squeeze it half to death. Whether they are the largest in all of West Linn is obviously debatable. What is not, however, is that Sonnen has the biggest mouth. After a 2010 ...

Enter the Dragon?: Was making Machida the No. 1 contender the right call?
Posted on 7 Aug 2012 by Erik Schmidt.
When Lyoto Machida fought Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title back in December it didn't go particularly well. The first round could be considered a small moral victory for the slippery Machida, who used his slick karate-based striking to get the better of the champ. Then round two rolled around and Jones decided he would have no more of that nonsense, and promptly choked Machida o...

Allows admins or all visitors to switch the blog theme. Has a restricted preview mode for your clients and includes a widget.
Q: I need the plugin to work for everybody, not just logged in users.
A: This is possible since 0.6.0.
Q: The preview links don't work!
A: Please check if you have some cache activated, that will most likely prevent the preview links from working. WP Super Cache only works in HALF ON mode.
Q: The previews look broken!
A: Do you use a complex theme with theme options? Some themes need to be activated for real at least once before they work.
Q: How do I exclude themes from being shown in the widget or the cloud?
 A: Add Status: unpublished to the header of the theme's style.css.
Q: I use a >= 3.0 multisite install and don't want inactive themes to be shown on certain blogs. Anything I can do?
 A: Add define( 'NKTHEMESWITCH_LOAD_MS', true ); to your install's wp-config.php. Careful, this might break on upgrades as I had to copy stuff from wp-admin/ into the plugin. Not very likely but possible. I'm not sure I'll continue to support this in the future. I probably won't test it, so report any bugs.
Q: My site went blank when I used your plugin, what should I do?
 A: Deactivate the plugin in the admin section. Remove the plugin files from your server if that doesn't work.

Are Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements Necessary While Taking Fosamax?01/04/2008 |
I have just started taking Fosomax. Do I need to take Calcium and Vitamin D as well?
It is crucial to take calcium and vitamin D when you are taking Fosamax, but be sure to take it at a different time unless the vitamin D is already in the Fosamax. Fosamax and other drugs like it require adequate calcium and vitamins to work effectively.

Story time is growing up
Never underestimate the commercial potential of bored parents.
How else to explain the spate of adult-themed children's book parodies that have followed the out-of-nowhere success of "Go the (expletive) to Sleep," the faux-bedtime storybook that has served as a mass exercise in parental primal-scream therapy for sleepless new parents and has sold more than 1.25 million copies since it was published in 2011.
One of many such books to appear in recent years was "Goodnight iPad," by Ann Droyd. It took the too-familiar story of "Goodnight Moon," the ceremonial farewell to the familiar objects around a child's bedroom, and updated it as an au revoir to all the beeping devices that now populate our daily lives. (The implicit point of the book targeted to parents, though, is perhaps not only to celebrate liberation from their electronic leashes, but also from yet another reading of "Goodnight Moon.")
Healthy sales for this and other parodies convinced publishers that children's books for adults could be a marketable subgenre, said Jennifer Bergstrom, the publisher of Gallery Books, which will debut "Are You My Boyfriend? A Picture Book for Grown-Up Children," by C.B. Bryza, in February, pegged to Valentine's Day.
That Seuss-like book reimagines the classic "Are You My Mother?" as a satire of grown-up life in the dating trenches. ("She turned to an average dude/ 'Are you my boyfriend?' she asked him./ The average dude seemed nice enough/ But no, 'I'm not your boyfriend,' he said/ 'I'm more into your friend.' ")
"They make perfect gifts, and they capture certain truths about a certain generation in a lighthearted way," Bergstrom said. And they have proved popular "because they are great new takes on age-old problems" (getting your children to sleep, finding Mr. Right).
Adam Mansbach, the "Sleep" author, went further; he thinks such books have found an audience because they speak to "a pervasive, generational sense of low-grade terror on the part of parents," an "Oh, my God, we're parents" feeling.
"This is compounded by the isolation many parents feel in their frustrations and perceived shortcomings: the sense that you're not supposed to deviate from a script," Mansbach said. "So anything that allows parents to be juvenile in a sanctioned way or breaks from that script is going to be attractive."
The mock-naive tone of children's books makes them an easy target for parody. Just plug a few jokes about shirtless firefighters into a perhaps tediously familiar tale like "Curious George" and presto, out comes ready-made satire like "Bi-Curious George: An Unauthorized Parody," a 2012 adults-only offering by Andrew Simonian.
Lately, though, some entries in the field are trying to push beyond gag-gift territory into the more literary realm.
In November, Dallas Clayton, a children's book author, published "It's Never Too Late: A Kid's Book for Adults," an illustrated compendium of life lessons for the bills-and-Scotch class, packaged in the form of a children's storybook. In cheery watercolors and simple verse, the book asks a pointed question: If today were the day the world ended, would you be happy with your life? ("But in those last moments/ when you pull back the curtain/ it's the love you'll remember/ that you gave and you got.")
That may be so, but while one is still in the full flush of life, royalties also can come in handy. Mansbach fired off "Sleep" while working on two novels and a screenplay, but it was "Sleep" that turned out to open doors for him in the industry, he said. It ended up earning enough for him to pay off the mortgage on his Berkeley house, redecorate it and buy a new car.
"My wristwear came up several notches," he added. "I'm more inclined to order an appetizer."
Inevitably, it spawned a sequel: a G-rated version called "Seriously, Just Go to Sleep," inspired by all the grown-ups who told him they were reading the original to their children but editing the language as they went.
A kid's book for adults for kids. Perhaps that is the next hot publishing category.
