Results Just In!
First Ever Human Clinical Study for VigRX Plus Completed With Outstanding Results, Including:
We knew VigRX Plus was extremely powerful but even we were shocked at the results of the first-ever human clinical study. But since we know everyone does not have time to read a 56-page clinical study that took us two years to complete, below we have included a "Study Summary" to highlight key points and findings of the test…
Summary of VigRX Plus Clinical Study Report
(Study Conducted By Research Organization: Vedic Lifesciences Pvt.)
|The VigRX Plus clinical study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of VigRX Plus in erectile dysfunction and male sexual health. The test parameters and methodology included:
NOTE: This study excluded patients with clear organic causes and risk factors of ED including vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension etc. Please see the full report on complete exclusion criteria.
What is the "International Index of
Erection Function" (IIEF)?
|The IIEF is designed to be a reliable, self-administered questionnaire of erectile function in cross-cultural settings, detecting treatment-related changes in patients. It was initially created by Raymond C. Rosen, Ph.D., Chief Scientist at the New England Research Institute, to measure the effectiveness of prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. By using this as the foundation of the VigRX Plus study, we were able to effectively measure the impact VigRX Plus had in numerous areas of the subject's erection quality and sexual desire. Further, this study also allowed us to gather feedback from the sexual partner of the subject in order to measure the satisfaction of both parties.
Efficacy Results Explained…
|The following is a brief summary of key results. For more detail, please scroll to the bottom of this page to download the entire report.
Result #1: 62.82% Increase inability in an ability to penetrate the partner.
|The inability to maintain an erection is a serious problem, affecting men of all ages.After taking VigRX Plus for 84 days, subjects saw a 62.82% improvement in their ability to maintain and control their erection when compared to the group taking placebo as demonstrated in the below chart.
In other words not only were the patients extremely satisfied with the results achieved when taking VigRX Plus, their partners also reported the same level of satisfaction.
More specifically the female partners of the patients reported and 59.97% increase in penetration, dramatically increasing overall satisfaction.And while partner satisfaction of the VigRX Plus group actually increased during the study, the placebo group actually decreased over the same period! The chart below clearly demonstrates this substantial increase.
|<Result #3: 22.49% Increase
in a quantity of orgasms
Over the test period, there was a 22.49% improvement in orgasmic function which simply means the patients taking VigRX reported achieving 22.49% more orgasms than patients taking the placebo.
And more orgasms definitely equates to greater overall sexual satisfaction.
|Result #4: 47.00% Increase
|in sex drive and desire
This is a very important statistic, further demonstrating why VigRX Plus could be considered superior to prescription medication.
You see, prescription medication primarily focuses on increasing erection quality but does not impact sexual desire. This means that patients taking prescription medication can achieve an erection but do not necessarily desire OR find the act of performing intercourse satisfying.
Whereas VigRX Plus focuses on both improving erection quality and sexual desire which means overall sexual and intercourse satisfaction increased dramatically!
|Result #5: 71.43% Increase in
|sexual and intercourse satisfaction
|The patients taking VigRX plus for 84 days reported a 71.43% improvement in sexual and intercourse satisfaction where the placebo group only reported 12%.This means patients taking VigRX Plus found greater satisfaction – almost 6 times higher than the placebo group – when performing intercourse!
|Result #6: 61.00% Increase
|in overall sexual satisfaction
And finally, when all of the results were in, after 84 days the patients taking VigRX Plus reported a 61.00% increase in their overall sexual satisfaction.
To further validate the findings the placebo group actually reported a decrease in overall sexual satisfaction!
Important Fact: Remember this was a "Double Blind Study" which means both the doctors and the researchers recording the data had no idea whether they were receiving placebo or genuine VigRX Plus in order to completely eliminate ANY bias in the results.
|Conclusion of VigRX Plus Double
|Blind Human Clinical Study
In conclusion, VigRX Plus clearly demonstrated significant improvement in erection quality, sexual desire and sexual satisfaction in both the patient and their partner, based on the International Index of Erection Function, when compared to the control group receiving placebo over a 12 week period.As the following chart demonstrates, during the 12 weeks there were was a consistent, measurable, and statistically relevant increase every 30 days.Further, if patients continued to take VigRX Plus beyond 12 weeks, it would be reasonable to expect…
|A continued increase in sexual
|performance and satisfaction!
|And finally at the end of 12 weeks, 90% of the patients taking VigRX Plus was so satisfied with the powerful results, they said they would like to continue supplementing with VigRX Plus while the patients receiving placebo almost unanimously choose to discontinue.
Other Clinical & Safety Studies Completed:
Enjoy the highest pleasure which every man deserves. Cheers!

I didn't say the quote in the headline here. The EA spokesperson who just sent me this screenshot from Dead Space 3 did. We'll have much more coverage of the game next week at E3.
But, you know... that was cold, EA rep. Cold like the planet in that game. I think you know the one I'm talking about.

- Spur Gear
- Helical Gear
- Herringbone Gear
- Bevel Gear
- Worm Gear
- Rack and Pinion
- Internal and External Gear
- Face Gear
- Sprcokets
Spur gears have straight teeth and are parallel to the axis of the wheel. Spur gears are the most common type of gears. The advantages of spur gears are their simplicity in design, economy of manufacture and maintenance, and absence of end thrust. They impose only radial loads on the bearings.
Spur gears are known as slow speed gears. If noise is not a serious design problem, spur gears can be used at almost any speed.
These gears are usually thought of as high speed gears. Helical gears can take higher loads than similarly sized spur gears. The motion of helical gears is smoother and quieter than the motion of spur gears.
Single helical gears impose both radial loads and thrust loads on their bearings and so require the use of thrust bearings. The angle of the helix on both the gear and the must be same in magnitude but opposite in direction, i.e., a right hand pinion meshes with a left hand gear.
Spiral Bevel gears: In these Spiral Bevel gears, the teeth are oblique. Spiral Bevel gears are quieter and can take up more load as compared to straight bevel gears.

The sixth day of Think Blue Kite Surf World continued today in variable conditions that kept riders on hold throughout the day. The freestyle trials took priority with only four heats remaining. Although the competition resumed multiple times throughout the morning and afternoon, each heat had to be abandoned due to unsuitable conditions, ending with no results for the day.
Thick clouds and grey skies greeted riders as they gathered at the event site for the 9 am meeting. With the chilly temperatures and the first threat of rain, the riders settled in to what would be a rollercoaster of a day. Under a darkening sky, the wind built and men's heat trials heat #18 hit the water first. Midway throughout the heat, it became apparent that the conditions were not suitable and the heat was abandoned. Commenting on the day, Race Director Olaf von Tol commented, "It was an extremely challenging day actually, because the wind was so constantly on the edge of being suitable, and you're so close to being able to run the competition, yet you can't."
The forecast for tomorrow calls for no wind, which would leave only the weekend to run the entire freestyle main event. With a promising forecast for Saturday, Sunday is still uncertain. The possibility of having conditions to complete only the single elimination exists, which puts a lot of pressure on the riders. 2013 World Champion Gisela Pulido remarked "We've been here already the entire week ready to compete, but haven't had much wind, so we still need to complete the trials. The challenge is not to lose your focus, because you're waiting for the wind all day and it can wear on you."
Current men's points leader Christophe Tack added, "It's definitely a bit more pressure. If you don't perform well in the singles and that is all we complete, you're out, that or you're in for a long day to climb back up in the doubles. Saturday is going to be a really long day, that's for sure." With intermittent sun breaks, the day was still quite nice with all the festivities surrounding the village in full effect. The bout of rain and lack of competition did little to dampen spirits of the fans and beach-goers, as many enjoyed the village, prepping for yet another evening at the N-JOY party at the main stage.
Tomorrow riders meet at 11 am for a first possible start at 11:30. Hopes are high for some wind to finish the trials for tomorrow. Riders will meet at 11 am for a first possible start at 11:30 am. The live broadcast will begin from the main event on. For updates on broadcast start times and announcements regarding the 2014 PKRA Think Blue Kitesurf World Cup, stay tuned in to the PKRA Facebook page and Twitter Feed.

MONETARY MALPRACTICE: Deceptions, Distortions & Delusions (pdf link)
The Hippocratic Oath is an oath taken by physicians swearing to practice medicine ethically, honestly and above all, to do no harm to the patient. Unelected central bankers do not take such an oath. They do however swear allegiance to the Constitution.
On February 6, 2006, Ben Bernanke took an oath to the Constitution at his swearing-in ceremony as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The significance of this is that as a federal officer, despite being the front man for a privately owned, quasi government bank, he can be prosecuted for any violations of the Constitution that he swore to uphold.
Bernanke is likely never to be charged with a crime against the constitution, but he is certainly guilty of malpractice. As a result of his untested and uncharted monetary policies, he has created broad based Moral Hazard and Unintended Consequences that have inflicted immeasurable and potentially fatal harm to the America he swore allegiance to.
By the Deceptive means of Misinformation and Manipulation of economic data the Federal Reserve has set the stage for broad based moral hazard. Through Distortions caused by Malpractice and Malfeasance, a raft of Unintended Consequences have now changed the economic and financial fabric of America likely forever. The Federal Reserve policies of Quantitative Easing and Negative real interest rates, across the entire yield curve, have been allowed to go on so long that Mispricing and Malinvestment has reached the level that markets are effectively Delusional. Markets have become Dysfunctional concerning the pricing of risk and risk adjusted valuations. Fund Managers can no longer use even the Fed's own Valuation Model which is openly acknowledged to be broken.
- Low interest rates and massive transfers of capital from Fed to banks has allowed banks to become hedge funds, making most of their money through proprietary trading and the creation of ever-more exotic instruments (moral hazard). This has lead to a merger of the banks, government and military/industrial complex into one entity (unintended consequence) that is not focused on expanding its power rather than serving its original constituents.
- Low interest rates and easy money have lead to massive concentrations of wealth as bankers and corporate CEOs take ever-greater risks, keeping the profits and handing the losses off to taxpayers (moral hazard). Wealth disparities have exploded (unintended consequences), creating in effect an aristocracy – and a disaffected majority. Political instability has risen (unintended consequence), leading the government to build a police state apparatus. The coming confrontation will look like Greece, with the addition of advanced technology on all sides (very unintended consequence).
"An environment where financial crises are seen to be a regular part of the landscape is one where people might actually take more precautions. People would maintain a margin of safety in all their decisions, investment and otherwise, regulations would be well thought out and diligently enforced, and the unscrupulous and the incompetent would quickly fail and disappear from the scene. Modern day attempts to abolish failure only serve to ensure it, as moral hazard - the likelihood that people's behavior changes in response to artificial supports or guarantees - surges. Attempts to prevent or wish away future crises only make them more likely. Only by allowing, even welcoming, episodic failure do we have a chance of reducing the likelihood and magnitude of future financial crises."
On The Morality Of The Fed 12/21/12 The Baupost Group
In economic theory, a moral hazard is a situation where a party will have a tendency to take risks because the costs that could incur will not be felt by the party taking the risk
- A moral hazard may occur where the actions of one party may change to the detriment of another after a transaction has taken place.
Example: persons with insurance against automobile theft may be less cautious about locking their car, because the negative consequences of vehicle theft are now (partially) the responsibility of the insurance company.
- A party makes a decision about how much risk to take, while another party bears the costs if things go badly, and the party isolated from risk behaves differently from how it would if it were fully exposed to the risk.
Example: the Euro debt crisis, in which the troika of relief funds (aka the ECB, the IMF, and the EC) for heavily indebted nations like Greece are waiting as long as possible to act. The risks of a money run, and the consequential market crash in Europe is by far not as detrimental to these institutions as to the indebted nations themselves.
- An individual or institution does not take the full consequences and responsibilities of its actions, and therefore has a tendency to act less carefully than it otherwise would, leaving another party to hold some responsibility for the consequences of those actions.
- One party in a transaction has more information than another.
In particular, moral hazard may occur if a party that is insulated from risk has more information about its actions and intentions than the party paying for the negative consequences of the risk. More broadly, moral hazard occurs when the party with more information about its actions or intentions has a tendency or incentive to behave inappropriately from the perspective of the party with less information.
- One party, called an agent, acts on behalf of another party, called the principal.
The agent usually has more information about his or her actions or intentions than the principal does, because the principal usually cannot completely monitor the agent. The agent may have an incentive to act inappropriately (from the viewpoint of the principal) if the interests of the agent and the principal are not aligned.
"A party will have a tendency to take risks because the costs that could incur will not be felt by the party taking the risk"
Moral Hazard > Mal-investment > Corruption
- Bad bankers run good bankers (i.e. those reluctant to lend to bad credits) out of the business.
Result: banks become hedge funds, predatory, corrupt.
- Big banks use their too-big-to-fail status to borrow much cheaply than well-run smaller banks, and then proceed to push the latter out of mortgages and other lucrative business lines.
Big banks then accelerate their growth.
Result: financial oligarchy in which the banks/government/military industrial complex merge into one organization. Bernanke, Jamie Diamond and Obama are division heads in this empire.
FINAL RESULT: Police state in which the Bill of Rights is ignored and technology is used to suppress dissent while inflation siphons wealth from the 99% to the 1%.
- Real estate appraisers forced to meet the number.
Result: Buyers end up underwater on day one.
- Governments begin to lie about economic stats to obscure the impact of bad policy.
- Businesses take excessive risks because borrowing is so easy and government stats paint a too-rosy picture.
Result: Massive Mal-investment
- Banks create unlimited amounts of derivatives and asset backed securities because financing is so easy and they know that, should the market fail, governments will have no choice but to bail them out.
- Individuals borrow excessively because credit is extremely easy to get. The market signals that they're highly credit-worthy and that the future is brighter than it actually is.
- Investors move further out on the risk spectrum because:
- There's no yield available in low-risk paper,
- Government stats paint a too-rosy picture, and
- The conventional wisdom is that the government can't let high-risk investment fail.
Result: Extremely fragile national balance sheet,
Result: Overexposure to stocks and junk bonds,
Result: Retirees with capital at risk that might never be recovered.
Unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences) are outcomes that are not the ones intended by a purposeful action.
Unintended consequences can be roughly grouped into three types:
1. A positive, unexpected benefit (usually referred to as luck, serendipity or a windfall).
2. A negative, unexpected detriment occurring in addition to the desired effect of the policy (e.g., while irrigation schemes provide people with water for agriculture, they can increase waterborne diseases that have devastating health effects).
3. A perverse effect contrary to what was originally intended (when an intended solution makes a problem worse), such as when a policy has a perverse incentive that causes actions opposite to what was intended.
"Unintended consequences are outcomes that are not the ones intended by a purposeful action"
Unintended Consequences
> Dysfunctional Markets
> Instability
Dysfunctional Markets are considered operating when normal and expected 'causes and effects' no longer occur.
Dysfunctional Markets exhibit characteristics such as Malpractice, Malfeasance, Mispricing & Malinvestment.
MALPRACTICE: Instead of allowing excessive peripheral country debt to be wiped out, ECB is guaranteeing it.
RESULT: Investors buying bonds they wouldn't otherwise buy, and Spain and Greece continuing to build up debt
MALPRACTICE: Low interest rates lead to a vast oversupply of houses. But instead of letting prices fall to market clearing levels, the Fed lowered rates even further and is now buying mortgage bonds as part of QE3.
RESULT: Mortgage rates are at near-record lows and home building is rising again, even though we still have too many houses (malinvestment), flipping is back (moral hazard), first-time home buyers are being priced out of starter homes (unintended consequence) and mortgage debt is beginning to rise again (moral hazard). Important to understand is that homes are not productive assets. They eat capital and the more big houses we have the less productive we are as a society (unintended consequence).
MALPRCTICE: Low interest rates are pushing pension funds and individuals into riskier assets.
- They were forced to buy equities and junk bonds to achieve decent yields.
- Now the yields on those two classes have been lowered to the point where they don't work, so pension funds are moving back into collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), securities created from pools of corporate loans.
- JP Morgan forecasts three times as many CLOs will be created this year as in 2011.
MALPRACTICE: The Fed's willingness to monetize debt prevents the US from living within its means.
RESULT: Without a printing press we would have to prioritize and limit spending. But with a printing press we don't. The US can run a global military empire and a cradle to grave welfare state, and simply print the money it needs (moral hazard).
An ongoing, accelerating debt buildup (unintended consequence) that:
- Makes it harder to live within our means because we first have to pay interest on this rising debt, and
- Increases the odds of a catastrophic meltdown as rising debt renders the system more unstable (unintended consequence).
"We must question the morality of Fed programs that trick people (as if they were Pavlov's dogs) into behaviors that are adverse to their own long-term best interest. What kind of government entity cajoles savers to spend, when years of under-saving and over-spending have left the consumer in terrible shape? What kind of entity tricks its citizens into paying higher and higher prices to buy stocks? What kind of entity drives the return on retiree's savings to zero for seven years (2008-2015 and counting) in order to rescue poorly managed banks? Not the kind that should play this large a role in the economy."

Five Goblins Walk Into A Bar…And Die: A Review Of "Goblin Quest"
DISCLOSURE: A copy of the PDF was provided by the author for the purpose of this review.
Over the past several years, I've been intrigued by the assortment of modern pen-and-paper role-playing games which favor speed and storytelling over hundreds of pages of rules. I thoroughly enjoyed Dungeon World and would happily return to it if I ever found a regular group to play it with me. Others I've explored have been the revised edition of Fate, and the charming, kid-friendly Dungeonteller and Adventure Maximus.
Goblin Quest, written by Grant Howitt, is a recently-published rules-lite RPG that casts its players as the hapless fodder of an army of evil. Its level of complexity places it closer to Risus or Kobolds Ate My Baby than it does Fate or Dungeon World. However, its approach to character longevity brings to mind another classic: Paranoia.
As in that game, Goblin Quest players control not a single character, but a clutch of five, functionally-identical duplicates that appear in sequence as their broodmates quickly meet with humorously gruesome death. According to the game's fiction, the goblins are the lowest caste of warriors in a Great Battle Camp that certainly isn't the Land of Mordor. They spawn rapidly because they must; their average life-span is a mere week. But in that short window, those goblins seek glory and foolishness, not necessarily in that order.
Goblin characters have a handful of attributes, which include an Honorific (or surname) for their brood, an Expertise (e.g. "Ganging Up on Things") and a Quirk ("Covered in Stolen Hair"). Each clutch of duplicates has a shared Dream, and fortunately for them, their short life's ambition is relatively simple. They also get an Ancestral Heirloom which has been passed down for generations…meaning that their great-great-grandgoblin probably found it a few weeks ago.
Oh, and two hit points.
Task resolution comes down to a simple roll of a six-sided die. A result of 1-2 is an Injury (mark off a hit point!); 3 is Something Bad (the next goblin to act gets -1 on its roll); 4 is Something Good (which grants a +1 instead); and 5-6 is a Victory. If one of your attributes might help in the situation, you can roll an extra die…but both dice count, meaning that victorious death is a not-unlikely outcome.
The storyline–which is intended to run its course in a single game session–is cooperatively defined by the players by asking each other what they want to do and what they'll need to do it. Each quest is broken up into three tasks of increasing difficulty, each further broken into three stages. To complicate things, a party of dead-goblins-walking will face three pre-generated misfortunes while in pursuit of their goal.
And…that's really the gist of it. Your intrepid goblin will die, to be instantly replaced by one of its fellows lurking just off-screen. With just enough cleverness and luck, you might see the quest through before you run out of fodder.
This scarcity of rules is mitigated by plenty of fun-to-read background fluff and lots of full-color art, but the real value of the PDF is still to come.
For one, the game includes contributions from a murderer's row of RPG designers, including Rob Heinsoo, Ken Hite and Robin D. Laws. They provide story ideas, character concepts and "alternate misfortunes."
The biggest bang for the buck is the second (and slightly-longer) half of the book, which features six rules hacks and one stand-alone minigame. They include:
- Kobold Quest – similar to the core game, but with kobolds combining forces to build a wacky contraption in hopes of fulfilling the decree of the Mighty Dragon King.
- My Name is Inigo Montoya, Jr. – a swashbuckling game of revenge, inspired by you-know-what.
- Sean Bean Quest – a wonderfully bizarre premise in which all of the players are actor Sean Bean attempting to survive one of his films and thus break a curse of infinite death.
- The Cthulhu Files – a serious, campaign-oriented spin which simulates the encroaching madness of the traditional Lovecraft game.
- Neither Super Nor Heroic – a group of inept supers brought together as a last resort against evil, whom generally make things even worse.
- Space Interns – think Redshirts.
- Regency Ladies – unrelated to the core rules, this is a bonus minigame of courtship in Jane Austen land.
This toolbox of ideas alone makes Goblin Quest well worth investigating, and the core rules themselves will please gamers who take perverse delight in playing easily-dispatched avatars.
You can purchase the PDF of Goblin Quest directly from the author a minimum price of $15.00, and you can also find it at RPGNow and DriveThruRPG.

Integration Services Projects
SQL Server provides two environments, Business Intelligence Development Studio and SQL Server Management Studio, for the development and management of Integration Services packages.
Business Intelligence Development Studio supports the development of Integration Services packages. You can also create the Data Source and Data Source View objects that packages use. For more information, see Introducing Business Intelligence Development Studio.
SQL Server Management Studio uses the Integration Services service to supports the management of Integration Services packages in test and production environments. For more information, see Using SQL Server Management Studio.
Both environments use the concept of projects within solutions to organize and manage the items that you use when you build business intelligence solutions. For more information, see Introduction to Solutions, Projects, and Items.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 does not support Business Intelligence Development Studio Integration Services, Report Services and Analysis Services projects for SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2. To work around this issue, you can install Visual Studio 2008 alongside Visual Studio 2010 on the same machine and then open the Business Intelligence Development Studio projects in Visual Studio 2008.
Understanding Integration Services Projects
In SQL Server Management Studio and Business Intelligence Development Studio, a project is a container in which you develop Integration Services packages.
In Business Intelligence Development Studio, an Integration Services project stores and groups the files that are related to the package. For example, a project includes the files that are required to create a specific extract, transfer, and load (ETL) solution, including the package, data source, and data source view definitions.
Before you create an Integration Services project, you should become familiar with the basic contents of this kind of project. After you understand what a project contains, you can begin creating and working with an Integration Services project.
Folders in Integration Services Projects
The following diagram shows the folders in an Integration Services project.
The following table describes the folders that appear in an Integration Services project.
Data Sources
Contains project-level data sources that can be referenced by multiple packages. For more information, see Data Source (SSIS)
Data Source Views
Contains data source views, which are built on data sources and can be referenced by sources, transformations, and destinations. For more information, see Data Source View (SSIS).
SSIS Packages
Contains packages. For more information, see Integration Services Packages and Designing and Implementing Packages (Integration Services).
Contains files other than source, data source view, or package files.
Files in Integration Services Projects
When you add a new or an existing Integration Services project to a solution, Business Intelligence Development Studio creates project files that have the extensions .dtproj and .dtproj.user and .database.
The *.dtproj file contains information about project configurations and items such as data sources and packages.
The *.dtproj.user file contains information about your preferences for working with the project.
The *.database file contains information that Business Intelligence Development Studio requires to open the Integration Services project.
Understanding Solutions
In SQL Server Management Studio and Business Intelligence Development Studio, a solution is a container that groups and manages the projects that you use when you develop end-to-end business solutions. A solution lets you handle multiple projects as one unit and to bring together one or more related projects that contribute to a business solution. For more information, see Solutions as Containers.
Solutions in SQL Server Management Studio and Business Intelligence Development Studio can include different types of projects. If you want to use SSIS Designer to create an Integration Services package, you work in an Integration Services project in a solution provided by Business Intelligence Development Studio. For more information, see Introducing Business Intelligence Development Studio.
When you create a new solution, Business Intelligence Development Studio adds a Solution folder to Solution Explorer, and creates files that have the extensions, .sln and .suo:
The *.sln file contains information about the solution configuration and lists the projects in the solution.
The *.suo file contains information about your preferences for working with the solution.
While Business Intelligence Development Studio automatically creates a solution when you create a new project, you can also create a blank solution, and then add projects later.
By default, when you create a new Integration Services project in Business Intelligence Development Studio, the solution is not shown in the Project Explorer pane. To change this default behavior, on the Tools menus, click Options. In the Options dialog box, expand Projects and Solutions, and then click General. On the General page, select Always show solution.

GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday any deal on Gaza's future had to meet Israel's security needs, warning Hamas it faced "harsh strikes" if it resumed firing into the Jewish state.
With a five-day ceasefire due to expire late on Monday, negotiators returned after consultations to Cairo to seek an end to five weeks of hostilities that have killed more than 2,000 people.
Both sides say gaps remain in reaching a long-term deal that would keep the peace between Israel and militant groups in the Hamas Islamist-dominated Gaza Strip, and open the way for reconstruction aid to reach the battered enclave.
Late on Sunday, a Palestinian official said Israel's position in the talks, as presented to them by Egyptian mediators, were a "retreat from what had already been achieved and discussions had returned to square one."
The official, who was not named, told Egypt's official news agency MENA that Israel had toughened its stance and had placed "impossible" demands, particularly on security issues. He said the Palestinians would review the situation and would offer their response early on Monday.
"We are determined to achieve the demands of our people and foremost is ending the aggression and launching the rebuilding process and lifting the Israeli-imposed blockade of the Gaza Strip," MENA quoted the official as saying.
Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas official at the talks, said there was no certainty the ceasefire would continue beyond its Monday night deadline.
"There are 24 hours left for the agreed calm period and it may not be renewed. The Palestinian delegation will not cede any of the rights of our people," he told a Hamas web site.
Hamas wants Israeli and Egyptian blockades of Gaza lifted, as well as the establishment of a seaport and airport, as part of any enduring halt to violence.
Israel, which launched its offensive on July 8 after a surge in cross-border Hamas rocket attacks, has shown scant interest in making sweeping concessions, and has called for the disarming of militant groups in the territory of 1.8 million people.
Netanyahu, in public remarks to his cabinet, said Hamas should not underestimate Israel's resolve to battle on.
"Only if there is a clear response to our security needs will we agree to reach understandings," he said.
"If Hamas thinks that through continued intermittent firing it will cause us to make concessions, it is mistaken. For as long as quiet does not return, Hamas will continue to absorb very harsh strikes."
The Gaza offensive has had broad public support in Israel, where militants' rockets, many of them intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile system, have disrupted everyday life but caused little damage and few casualties.
Commenting on Netanyahu's remarks, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: "The only way to achieve security is to afford security to the Palestinians first and to lift the blockade and to agree to their demands."
On Saturday, Osama Hamdan, Hamas's foreign affairs chief, said on Facebook: "Israel must accept the demands of the Palestinian people or face a long war."
Izzat el-Reshiq, a Hamas negotiator in Cairo, wrote on Twitter that relinquishing "the weapons of resistance" was not a matter for discussion.
"As of now, Israel has not agreed to any proposals," an Israeli official said on condition of anonymity.
U.S.-backed President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Fatah party was reconciled with Hamas in April and is part of the Palestinian delegation in Cairo, said in a statement: "Our utmost priority now is to stop the fighting, the bloodshed and the destruction in the Gaza Strip."
"The way it is looking now, I think that we will not reach a deal," Israeli Communications Minister Gilad Erdan, a member of Netanyahu's security cabinet, told Israel's Channel 10 News.
The United Nations said 425,000 people in the Gaza Strip have been displaced by the war. The Palestinian Health Ministry in the enclave says 1,980 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed in the conflict.
On the Israeli side, 64 soldiers and three civilians have been killed.
Egyptian and Palestinian sources have said that at the Cairo talks Israel has tentatively agreed to relax curbs on the movement of people and goods across the border, subject to certain conditions.
Erdan said Israel was examining the Egyptian proposal as a whole and had yet to make any final decision. "There are sections that are problematic as far as Israel is concerned," Erdan said on Israel Radio, without elaborating.
The Palestinian demand for a Gaza seaport and reconstruction of an airport destroyed in previous conflicts with Israel has been a stumbling block, with Israel citing security reasons for opposing their operation.
Israel and Hamas have not met face-to-face in Cairo; Israel regards Hamas, which advocates its destruction, as a terrorist group.
In Gaza, Pierre Krähenbühl, head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, said he hoped ceasefire talks would lead to substantial change on the ground.
"There has to be a message of hope for the people of Gaza, there has to be a message for something different, there has to be a message of freedom for the people, freedom to move, freedom to trade," Krähenbühl told reporters.

Prime Instant Video Greenlights First-Ever Drama Pilots
Bosch, based on Michael Connelly's best-selling Harry Bosch series and The After, from X-Files creator Chris Carter, will be Amazon Studios first hour-long drama pilots
Amazon Instant Video will host pilot episodes and viewer response will help determine which shows go into full-season production
SEATTLE—Oct. 31, 2013—(NASDAQ: AMZN)—Following Amazon Studios' pilot announcement earlier this month, Amazon today announced it has given the green light for the production of its first two hour-long drama pilots: Bosch, based on Michael Connelly's best-selling Harry Bosch book series and written by Emmy-nominated Eric Overmyer (The Wire, Treme) and Michael Connelly, and The After, written and directed by Emmy-nominee Chris Carter (The X-Files).
Customers will be invited to watch the pilots on Amazon Instant Video at no cost and can provide feedback that will help determine which pilots should be produced as series to air exclusively on Prime Instant Video and Amazon's LOVEFiLM in the UK in early 2014.
"We are very excited to be working with creators like Michael Connelly and Chris Carter, both epic storytellers in their own right," said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios. "For the first time we are bringing Amazon customers hour-long programming and we can't wait to hear what they think of these new stories."
Based on Michael Connelly's best-selling Harry Bosch series and written by Eric Overmyer and Michael Connelly, Bosch follows a relentless LAPD homicide detective as he pursues the killer of a 13-year-old boy while standing trial in federal court on accusations that he murdered a suspected serial killer in cold blood. Bosch will be played by Titus Welliver (Argo, The Good Wife) and the pilot will also star Annie Wersching, Amy Price-Francis and Jamie Hector. Henrik Bastin of Fabrik Entertainment (The Killing) is producing and Jim McKay will direct.
"Sharing this story with television audiences is very exciting, something that's been twenty years in the making," said author Michael Connelly. "It is amazing to have it come together with the synergy of Amazon—the world's largest bookstore—along with accomplished creator and showrunner, Eric Overmyer, and Fabrik, a production company dedicated to loyalty to the books. Harry Bosch can be in no better hands."
The After
Written and directed by Emmy-nominee Chris Carter (The X-Files) executive produced by Marc Rosen of Georgeville Television and produced by Gabe Rotter, The After follows eight strangers who are thrown together by mysterious forces and must help each other survive in a violent world that defies explanation. Sharon Lawrence, Jamie Kennedy, Aldis Hodge, Andrew Howard, Arielle Kebbel, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Adrian Pasdar, and Louise Monot will star.
"I'm very superstitious about talking about what I'm working on before it's finished, and it's more fun if it's kept a mystery! So let me just say that this is a show that explores human frailty, possibility, terror, and the triumph of the human spirit," said Chris Carter, creator of The After. "I'm so excited to be telling this story with Amazon in this new frontier of television."

Harlem Street Singer
Harlem Street Singer tells the story of Reverend Gary Davis, the great blues and gospel musician whose unique style and remarkable skills on the guitar inspired a generation of musicians. The film traces Davis's journey out of poverty in the deep South to his iconic status in the folk and rock scene in 1960's New York. The film includes interviews with celebrated folk and rock musicians who knew and studied with Davis, such as Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, Jorma Kaukonen of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary, and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. These interviews are interwoven with rare archival footage and photographs as well as recently discovered concert footage of Davis with Peter, Paul and Mary from the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind film, along with a Q&A session following the screening with film producer and musician Woody Mann, who is currently teaching at Berklee in the Robert Davoli and Eileen McDonagh Country Blues Visiting Artist program.

App Review: Topple 2 by ngmoco, Inc.
by Bret on
July 4, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Entertainment, Games, Kids
Topple 2 by ngmoco, Inc. is a fun block stacking game with great graphics and smooth physics. The goal of the game is to stack odd shaped blocks to a certain height within the time limit. Once you have passed a certain height line, you can continue on for up to a 5X bonus. You can get rewards for stacking the blocks in a short amount of time.
To stack the blocks, touch the block and drag it to the place you would like to set it. If you want to rotate your block, touch it with one finger and move another finger in a circular motion. If your tower begins to fall over, you can touch parts of the tower and push it back to where you would like it. If you ever feel like the block you've been given isn't right, throw it off the side and get a new one. You can only lose up to a total of 4 blocks during the game.
There are many different game modes. In the balance mode, you must balance the blocks evenly to help keep the tower from falling over. Another mode is the reverse mode. In this mode, you are underwater and have to stack the blocks beneath one another. This may seem very easy and maybe even pointless, but it is very challenging. One of the last game modes is rescue. In this mode, you must stack the blocks up to a golden egg in the sky. Then you must slowly tap away the blocks to lower the egg slowly to the ground. If the egg hits the ground too hard, you fail and have to restart.
Topple 2 offers a great theme with awesome character facial expressions. You can even choose your own iPod music to listen to while you play. This app does require that you update to OS 3.0. So if you haven't upgraded yet, now is the time. Topple 2 is a fun game with a high replay value and the chance to compete against your friends over WiFi.
Topple 2 is $0.99 in the iTunes App Store.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Talks on a new climate change treaty in Qatar next week will not advance unless rich countries promise more ambitious cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, four major developing nations said.
The four nations, Brazil, China, India and South Africa -known in climate talks as the BASIC bloc - released a joint ministerial statement late on Tuesday saying responsibility for the outcome of the latest round of U.N. climate talks in Doha lay in the hands of rich countries.
"Ministers reaffirmed that the Kyoto Protocol remains a key component of the international climate regime and that its second commitment period is the key deliverable for Doha, and the essential basis for ambition within the regime," they said.
They added that rich nations must produce more ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which fall far short of what scientists say are needed to avoid runaway climate change.
The Kyoto Protocol, the only international treaty to set legally binding targets on cutting greenhouse emissions, expires at the end of the year. Around 30 European nations and Australia have signalled they are ready to take on new targets.
But major emitters such as Canada, Japan, Russia and the United States will not take part, saying the U.N. pact will have no environmental impact until it imposes similar targets on large developing nations, including China and India.
China and India are the world's biggest and third biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, respectively.
A report released this week by the World Resources Institute, a U.S. think tank, showed two-thirds of the world's planned coal-fired power plants will be built in China and India, ensuring their carbon output will continue to soar.
Developed countries are keen to begin negotiations on a new treaty to cap emissions from all countries.
At last year's U.N. climate talks in Durban, negotiators agreed that such a deal must be reached by 2015 at the latest, and go into force in 2020.
But the BASIC countries said even a new treaty should be negotiated along the same principles as the current U.N. climate convention, keeping a division between rich and poor nations.
The Kyoto Protocol states that countries are bound by the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities", which puts most of the burden for combating climate change in the hands of rich nations with larger historical rates of emissions.
"The Durban Platform is by no means a process to negotiate a new regime, nor to renegotiate, rewrite or reinterpret the Convention and its principles and provisions," they said, signalling they will not accept the same treatment as rich countries in any new treaty.
The statement shows the developing nations are concerned about the pace of the negotiations, said Li Yan, a climate campaigner with Greenpeace China.
"Big developing countries, especially China, will need some time to do its homework and think of what it can do," she said.

Emory University's James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference (JWJI) has appointed Emory sociology professor Tyrone Forman, a renowned scholar of social change, race and ethnic relations, as its new director. Forman is leading the institute's work to build the JWJI as a national destination for interdisciplinary public scholarship and teaching on all aspects of modern civil rights, race and difference.
Forman's appointment completes the merger begun last year of the original JWJI and the university's Race and Difference Strategic Initiative, and sets the stage for an expansion of the institute's original vision, including a deepening of rigorous scholarly exploration combined with a broadening of public scholarship that engages the Emory community, Atlanta and beyond. Forman formerly co-directed the race and difference initiative.
One major initiative of the JWJI will be the Atlanta Area Study (AAS), a multi-disciplinary, collaborative initiative that seeks to strengthen research, teaching, and public decision-making related to race, difference and public policy. The present-day metro-Atlanta area, combined with its rich history, creates a complex case study for such scholarship and teaching, Forman says.

'Hidden Truths' Are in Those Dreams
New study explores how dreams influence day-to-day behavior.
March 5, 2009 -- Here's the scene: You wake up after dreaming about a horrible plane crash, and you're scheduled to board an aircraft later in the day for a long-awaited trip. Will that nightmare have any effect on whether you continue with your plans?
Possibly, according to a new multi-cultural study involving nearly 1,100 people around the world. You may not cancel your trip, but your dream will probably weigh as heavily on your thoughts as if there had been a real plane crash that day, not just a dream, according to the study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
The study suggests that humans from a wide range of cultures believe their dreams are a window into the inner workings of the mind and that they may even influence our activities while we're awake. Dreams are serious stuff.
"Most people understand that dreams are unlikely to predict the future, but that doesn't prevent them from finding meaning in their dreams, whether their contents are mundane or bizarre," said psychologist Carey Morewedge of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, lead author of the study.
Do Dreams Really Mean Anything?
No doubt even the earliest humans were perplexed and fascinated by dreams that can sometimes seem as real as the world around us. Do they really mean anything? Scholars tended to dismiss them as little more than mental fireworks until the latter part of the 19th century. But when Sigmund Freud published "The Interpretation of Dreams" in 1899, he introduced science to the complex and bizarre world hidden in the human mind.
Freud called dreams the "royal road to the unconscious," and for more than a century now, researchers have tried to travel down that road. We know now that dreams do mean something, and they are universal. The most common dream, according to some studies, occurs in all cultures, and it's virtually certain that anyone reading this article has experienced the same dream. Someone, or something, is in hot pursuit, and if the dreamer can't escape, the consequences will be deadly.
That universal dream usually means the person feels threatened, or under attack, or is recalling a time when an attack was real.
Dreams Contain 'Hidden Truths'
Nearly as common is that old dream of showing up in public and discovering that you forgot to put your pants on before leaving the house. It can mean different things, but usually the person feels exposed or vulnerable.
The interpretation of dreams is still a fuzzy area, and may always be so, but Morewedge and Michael I. Norton of Harvard University and a large team of associates wanted to move dream research into a new arena that is difficult to study: Do dreams actually influence our behavior?
The researchers carried out six studies in both Eastern and Western cultures (the United States, South Korea and India) that led them to conclude that people place considerable importance in their dreams, because dreams come from within the brain, not from outside sources, and thus contain "hidden truths."
Here are just a few of their findings:
A majority of 182 commuters in Boston reported that dreams affected their daily behavior. Some 68 percent said that dreams foretell the future, and 63 percent said at least one of their dreams had come true. "Participants were more likely to report that a dream of a plane crash would affect their travel plans than a conscious thought of a crash or a warning from the government," the study found.
Three-hundred forty-one pedestrians were surveyed in Cambridge, Mass., and people who believed in the Freudian theory of the subconscious were more influenced by their dreams than were nonbelievers, but "regardless of the theory of dreams that they endorsed, participants considered dreams to be more important than similar thoughts occurring to them while awake..." the study found.
Sixty undergraduate psychology students at Rutgers University were asked whether they believed in God on a five-point scale ranging from definitely to doubtful. "Not surprisingly, believers rated dreams in which God spoke to them as more meaningful than did agnostics," the study found. Also, not surprisingly, "agnostics reported that dreams were more meaningful when God suggested that they should take a year off to travel the world than when God suggested they should take a year off to work in a leper colony."
The Role of Dreams in Our Waking Lives
Consistent throughout the study is the thread that dreams do play a role in the waking lives of most people. They come from within and, thus, contain "hidden truths" that could be useful in real life, or so most of us believe.
The researchers end their report by cautioning that dreams can cause a bit of mischief.
"Dreams of spousal infidelity may lead to suspicious accusations, alienating one's spouse and potentially provoking actual infidelity," they cite as one example. But they go on to add that dreams of infidelity may also be based on fact.
"Dreams may integrate seemingly unrelated evidence -- unexplained credit card charges, smudges of lipstick, distant behavior -- into a correct diagnosis of infidelity," the study suggested.
But they are still just dreams. Not many psychologists would embrace the idea that dreams are a clear window into the inner self, and that they can predict the flight you are supposed to take later today is going to crash.
"We close by noting that, although dreams are unlikely to predict future world events, it is possible that they may provide some hidden insight into diurnal life in the way that laypeople believe they do," the study concluded.

67 / 67 cu. ft.
For hybrid shoppers with families, Toyota offers the 2013 Prius V, a larger wagon variant of the Prius with increased cargo room. Though the U.S. didn't get the seven-passenger hybrid people-mover offered in the rest of the world, the Prius V has seating for five and 34.3 cu-ft of cargo space behind the rear seats.
The 2013 Toyota Prius V is powered by the same 1.8-liter I-4 and electric motor found in the standard Prius, and produces an identical combined 134 hp. The Prius V's added mass drops the efficiency performance of the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive to an EPA-rated 44/40 mpg city/highway. To cater to would-be crossover shoppers though, Toyota tuned the Prius V's suspension for a flatter ride, and the electric motor's Pitch and Bounce Control helps even things out further. A curious result of this tuning is a driving experience that's better than the standard Prius. We said, "The V is — dare I say it — actually fun to toss around on a back road. Fun for a Prius, at any rate."
In a comparison test between the Ford C-Max, the Toyota Prius V
finished second in spite of its decent driving dynamics. The wagon just couldn't compete with the fun-to-drive factor and 188 hp of the Focus-based C-Max, though the Prius-V was undoubtedly the victor when it came to efficiency. The Prius V also had the larger cargo area, which grows to 67.3 cubic-feet with the rear seats folded down. Inside the cabin, Bluetooth and USB connectivity come standard, and Toyota's Entune infotainment system and a hard drive-based navigation system are available.
The 2013 Toyota Prius was named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS, scoring "good" ratings in all tests except the new small overlap front crash test, where it received a "poor" rating. NHTSA awarded the Prius V a five-star rating.
A new Seaglass Pearl exterior color is available on the 2013 Toyota Prius V, and a SofTex-trimmed steering wheel is offered for 2013.

SAINT CLOUD, Fla., Aug. 10 (UPI) -- A 9-year-old Florida boy amazingly only had minor injuries after fighting off a 400-pound alligator he encountered while swimming Thursday.
James Barney Jr. was swimming in a lake in Saint Cloud, Fla., when he said he felt something clamp down on his foot.
"I just immediately hit it and I let it go a little so I pry its jaw open," James said. "First I thought someone was just playing with me and I didn't know what happened. I reached down to go grab it and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth."
The nine-foot alligator left only minor cuts — and a tooth — on James' leg.
"I want to put it on a necklace so that I can tell all my friends," James said of the tooth.

You can't accuse Brandon Marshall of sand-bagging.
The Bears wide receiver said Wednesday this week's game against the Packers was "personal" and the "biggest game of my career."
The Packers held Marshall to just two catches for 24 yards in Week Two, and he's been waiting for the rematch ever since.
He also accused Packers players of not showing respect to him or his teammates.
"I don't like the Green Bay Packers," Marshall said, via Lindsay Jones of USA Today. "I'm not going to use the word 'hate,' but I really dislike the Packers and their players.
"But you know what? The talk has to back it up. We'll go out there and do everything we have to do to get a win."
Marshall, who carried a Charlie Brown Christmas tree with him to the podium, apparently to illustrate the disrespect, didn't specify what the Packers did that made him angry. "You'll have to go on Google or something," he said.
But he made it clear he didn't think the Packers stopped him one-on-one.
"I didn't beat double and triple coverage or whatever they were throwing at me," Marshall said. "I take it as a slap in my face when guys are talking about my lack of ability to do something against them when they have help all over the place.
"I'm looking forward to one-on-one coverage. Hopefully, those guys, in a game like this, will go to their coach and say, 'Let me have him. I want Brandon Marshall. I want to stop Brandon Marshall.' Let's see what happens."
Frankly, if any of the Packers players did so, they should be fined for stupidity, given Marshall's success (101 catches, 1,342 yards) and the Bears' lack of a complementary target.

The most probable is that you're letting bugs in when you sample in the freezer OR your airlock is empty.
Well the gourds were on back order so I have to settle for glass carboys.
Just a thought, maybe the freezer cooled the ferment too quickly and what you think is lacto is a bad case of aceteldehyde.
