Sending meaningful messages: greeting card suppliers are finding new ways to keep consumers engaged in the category.
Despite the decline in paper greeting card sales over the past decade, manufacturers remain positive on the category's potential--even in the struggling grocery channel. Industry observers say the decline in the category has resulted in a condensing of the retail greeting card market. This has provided opportunity for retailers that still carry greeting cards to actually grow share.[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
"The important trend for our grocery retail partners is the continued migration we are seeing from specialty stores," says Frank Cirillo, spokesperson for American Greetings. "Consumers are looking for the optimal combination of selection and convenience in meeting their greeting card needs. Retailers can win the loyalty of these important shoppers with the right blend of authentic content, exciting innovation and treat value."
Observers say that driving much of greeting card sales are alternative-type products such as humor cards, pop-up cards and sound and musical cards, to name a few. To meet this growing need, Cleveland-based American Greetings recently introduced three everyday collections. Hot Buttons are greeting cards featuring a large round push button on the front that delivers one of five funny audio clips each time it is pressed. Grandstands is an interactive line of cards with displayable characters and push button sound and Picture Perfect is a whimsical line of heart felt cards that feature a special fold that pops open to create a mini-shadowbox.
"In the months ahead consumers will find new innovations for birthday and every clay occasions as well as those for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Halloween and Christmas," says Cirillo. 'Along with the new innovations, sonic of the most popular collections will be re-released with all new content."
Officials at Hallmark contend that greeting cards serve an important and meaningful purpose in today's busy world and want to make card sending easy for customers. One of the Kansas City, Mo.-based company's latest innovations is postage-paid greetings. Julie Brookings, Hallmark spokesperson, says that as the name implies, the price of each card includes the postage to send it. The postage is treated like a Forever stamp and its value will always be equal to the price of a standard First-Class stamp, regardless of when it is mailed. Brookings says postage-paid greetings are avail-able for a wide range of everyday occasions. Beyond postage-paid, Brookings says licensed favorites provide appeal as well. Sonic of Hall-marks' licensees include the Peanuts, as well as box-office favorites such as Happy Feet, Cars and The Twilight Saga, which has an assortment of up to 20 Twilight greeting cards available for birthdays and several other any day occasions. Many cards include music from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -Part 1 movie and some have attachments like bookmarks, tattoos, magnets, stickers and door hangers.
"We recognize that reading the books and seeing the films are something moms and daughters are bonding over," says Christine Taylor., Hallmark Licensing. "We see our product as an opportunity to extend the experience by offering greeting cards and products for various occasions."
Many people also bond over humor, which is the focus of cards from Avanti Press. Marc Trobman, vice president business development for the Detroit-based company; says the humor area is one in which grocers can really capitalize. "If you look at grocery, there is very little branded humor. They might mix in some funny cards, but in a sea of cards, that can be hard to shop.
"It is important for grocery retailers to realize that paper greeting cards are not going away," he adds. "They may be flat in sales, but that is more related to the content they put on the shelf than the customer. Grocers that are devoted to greeting cards are doing fine."
Humor crosses over all demographics says Trobman. Although women purchase 90% of greeting cards, Avanti's cards take anonymous characters and put them in exaggerated situations, transcending, sex, age and race. Avanti offers two brands, the Avanti line, which Trobman say features humorous photography and the N'press line featuring graphic illustrations with simple and funny prose.
With our cards we can offer grocers what we call a complimentary greeting card program," says Trobman. "Because our cards are high-color and impactful, when put on an end-cap, adjacent or at an outpost situation we have the ability to pull the customer to our display."
Officials at Design Design say providing a strong alternative greeting card brand and program, provides retailers the opportunity to drive increased greeting cards sales. The Grand Rapids, Mich.-based company offers the Design Design bland as a alternative for retailers to differentiate themselves, and to drive greeting cards and related products to meet the entire celebration needs of their customers.
"We have created a destination for our customer so that the consumer sees us as the destination for all of their celebration needs," says Colin Littler, Design Design's director of marketing. He says that can start with greeting cards. "We offer a full line of greeting cards that can draw the consumer, but the extra opportunity is that we also have those other key categories like gift bags and wrap, paper tableware, and other personal expression products. We can transform that area into a huge profit ' center for retailers where the consumer will come to know the Design Design brand, seek it out and find our other unique products."
With an eye toward attracting female consumers, Designer Greetings, based in Edison N.J., offers its Expos and Chitchat lines. According to Suzanne Haines, vice president of marketing, the Expose line features hilarious or provocative pictures and a clever combination of photos and verse to tickle the funny bone or touch the heart.
"Women understand women perfectly, so Chitchat, our woman to woman line, is trendy stylish and colorful, much like today's modern woman,71 says Haines. "Soft pastels lightly touched with foil and glitter belie the bold and witty banter inside this collection celebrating the 'inner diva.'"
Social networking has brought people from across the globe together. However, when celebrating special occasions and personal moments, rarely does an email, Facebook wall post or tweet carry the same meaning as a greeting card.

Don't worry, this is good.
Once again, I find this game highly addictive. At least you put a disclaimer at the beginning this time. You gave us fair warning this was addictive, lol.
I also find it really great that this is available for iPhone. Although one this I'm dissapointed about is the music. I would love to have the "Nyan Nyan" song from before. Not really as fun, but I can't say it's not still cute. This should be the music for the iPhone version, and the nyan version for the online game. But I digress, what's done is done, and it's still a great game. Should have a timer so I know when to get away though. lol

All my grades here are subjective. The problems may be significantly harder or easier, I really can't tell. Some consensus ratings would be splendid. |

Not since the Turd Boulder has Mt. Sandy Ass seen such steep, powerful bouldering. Actually quite a nice handful of problems to do on a sunny, cold winter's day (we were climbing in sweatshirts on a day with a high of 31 degrees). |
By Mark Roth From: Boulder Jan 4, 2013 |
This is a fun boulder! If I lived in North Boulder, I'd climb here a bunch.... Besides the listed problems, there are tons of possible variations. There are so many interesting holds you could do most of the problems a few different ways (the easiest possible ways were hard enough for me). A nice easy right to left lip traverse is a good V0 warm-up. I'm surprised this boulder hasn't seen more attention. It's sunny, scenic, and close to town with flat landings and mostly solid rock. |

Food trucks could be coming to downtown Canandaigua.
According to our news partners at the Messenger Post, a city committee will decide Tuesday how to regulate the businesses.
The concern is where the trucks will be allowed to park. The committee is proposing to not allow the trucks on Main Street and keep them a certain distance from restaurants.
The full City Council will hold a final vote at a later time.

Scientists in New Zealand have discovered that some cows have genes that give them a natural ability to produce skimmed milk and plan to use this information to breed herds of milkers producing only skimmed milk.
The researchers also plan to breed commercial herds producing milk with the unique characteristics required to make a butter that is spreadable straight from the fridge. They have already identified a cow, Marge, with the genes required to do this and say a commercial herd is likely by 2011. The milk is very low in saturated fats and so should be high in polyunsaturates and monounsaturated fats.
Experts say that the discovery of these rogue milkers could completely revolutionise the dairy industry. Ed Komorowski, technical director at Dairy UK says that the New Zealand approach could be used to breed cows that still produce full-fat milk but with only the good fats, which could swing things back in favour of full-fat milk. In the UK, for example, only 25% of milk sold is full fat. 'In future if whole milk can be made to contain unsaturated fats – which are good for you – then it might mean that people change back to whole milk products. The big thing about dairy products is taste, so this would be a way of giving the benefits of taste without the disadvantage of saturated fats,' according to Komorowski.
This may also overcome the problem of waste. 'If you can genetically produce milk without fat then that may turn out to be a very good solution to what might later be a big disposal issue,' says Komorowski. Producing skimmed and semi-skimmed milk means there is a lot of fat left over.
Komorowski noted, however, that although the lower-fat milk may be healthier, it will be interesting to see how much milk the cows actually produce.
The rogue cows were discovered when biotech company ViaLactia screened the range of milk compositions across the entire herd of 4m New Zealand cattle. New Zealand dairy firm Fonterra has already made milk products from Marge's milk and they maintain the positive taste.

Icefield Parkway
The day did not start well with both of us still feeling under the weather from the previous nights festivities. This all meant that the "all you can eat" breakfast buffet at the Tekara lodge was not quite ready for our attention. I think we gave the conservative guests quite a fright. After stocking up on bacon, eggs and extra coffee we finally left Jasper and started our journey down the spectacular Icefield Parkway. Our first stop was the Athabasca Falls, a place that would have been ...

We had a quick lunch at the cafe at the base of Athabasca Glacier, then caught the big Ice Explorer up onto the Glacier. This was Russell's "bucket list" thing to do, and it was ...

... the top of Whistler's mountain was up at 2470m (8103ft) so once we got up we set off up a very steep and rocky path towards the top. Once at the top the views opened out further still giving 360 degree views out across the Canadian Rockies. It was quite simply glorious.
There was still time for a few more pleasant surprises in the day as when we returned to the Upper Station to catch a tram down we had time to kill so decided to finally try poutine which ...

Linked here is a detailed quantitative analysis of Kellogg Company (K). Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:
Company Description: Kellogg Company is a producer of ready-to-eat cereal also sells snack and convenience foods such as cookies, crackers, potato chips, cereal bars, fruit snacks and frozen waffles.
Fair Value: In calculating fair value, I consider the NPV MMA Differential Fair Value along with these four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Avg. High Yield Price
2. 20-Year DCF Price
3. Avg. P/E Price
4. Graham Number
K is trading at a discount to only 3.) above. Since K's tangible book value is not meaningful, a Graham number can not be calculated. The stock is trading at a 130.9% premium to its calculated fair value of $28.13. K did not earn any Stars in this section.
Dividend Analytical Data: In this section there are three possible Stars and three key metrics, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. Free Cash Flow Payout
2. Debt To Total Capital
3. Key Metrics
4. Dividend Growth Rate
5. Years of Div. Growth
6. Rolling 4-yr Div. > 15%
K earned no Stars in this section. The company has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 1923 and has increased its dividend payments for 10 consecutive years.
Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA) or Treasury bond? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description:
1. NPV MMA Diff.
2. Years to > MMA
The NPV MMA Diff. of the $37 is below the $2,500 target I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as K has. If K grows its dividend at 2.2% per year, it will take 8 years to equal a MMA yielding an estimated 20-year average rate of 3.31%.
Memberships and Peers: K is a member of the S&P 500. The company's peer group includes: Campbell Soup Company (CPB) with a 2.7% yield, General Mills, Inc. (GIS) with a 3.0% yield, and The Hershey Company (HSY) with a 1.9% yield.
Conclusion: K did not earn any Stars in the Fair Value section, did not earn any Stars in the Dividend Analytical Data section and did not earn any Stars in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a total of zero Star. This quantitatively ranks K as a 0-Star Avoid stock.
Using my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, I determined the share price would need to decrease to $24.68 before K's NPV MMA Differential increased to the $2,500 minimum that I look for in a stock with 10 years of consecutive dividend increases. At that price the stock would yield 7.5%.
Resetting the D4L-PreScreen.xls model and solving for the dividend growth rate needed to generate the target $2,600 NPV MMA Differential, the calculated rate is 11.6%. This dividend growth rate is higher than the 2.2% used in this analysis, thus providing no margin of safety. K has a risk rating of 2.25 which classifies it as a Medium risk stock.
K enjoys relatively stable end markets. Its marketing efforts and product innovation should bolster sales and reduce the risk of consumers trading down to less expensive products. In November 2013, the company announced a global four-year efficiency and effectiveness program. K projects the program will result in pretax charges of between $1.2 billion and $1.4 billion, with cash savings reaching between $425 million and $475 million in 2018.
The company's U.S. cereal business accounts for 40–45% of sales. It has been performing poorly since 2012 due to sluggish growth and lower demand due to competitive pressures from yogurt, eggs, bread and peanut butter. K has tried to reinvigorate this segment with innovation and aggressive marketing with little results to show from these activities.
At 60%, K's free cash flow payout is at my 60% maximum (up from 58%). Its debt to total capital at 69% (down from 72%) is still well in excess of my 45% maximum. The stock is trading significantly above my calculated fair value of $28.13, so for now, I will wait on a more opportune time to initiate a position in K.
Disclaimer: Material presented here is for informational purposes only. The above quantitative stock analysis, including the Star rating, is mechanically calculated and is based on historical information. The analysis assumes the stock will perform in the future as it has in the past. This is generally never true. Before buying or selling any stock you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion. See my Disclaimer for more information.
Full Disclosure: At the time of this writing, I held no position in K (0.0% of my Dividend Growth Portfolio). See a list of all my dividend growth holdings here.

Muslims pray in front of soldiers, Egypt_521. (photo credit:Reuters)
The Jerusalem Post published an article by Manfred Gerstenfeld on February 20. His column, headed "Muslim anti-Semitism in Western Europe," eerily echoed a diagnosis I had been researching that paralleled his learned words.My thoughts began by considering the grotesque actions of Hamas rocketeers who deliberately aim their missiles at innocent Israeli civilians. I came to the conclusion that their motivation was less one of Palestinian nationalism but rather one of Islamic hatred of the presence of a Jewish state in their midst.There is nothing new in Palestinian anti-Semitism as being the root cause of their anti-Jewish attitude to anything related to Israel.Most of us are familiar with the emotional embrace of Hitler and Nazism by Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and his desire to adopt Nazi tactics to implement the Final Solution of the Jewish Problem in the Middle East. It continues to today not only with the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists but also with the deeply disturbing anti-Semitic philosophy and background of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, our perceived "mod- erate" peace partner.His scholarly Moscow academic thesis that Zionists (read "Jews") participated with the Nazis in the killing of Jews is notorious. He claimed that "less than one million" Jews were killed and raised doubts that there were any gas chambers. The aim of the Zionists, according to Abbas, was "to facilitate the widespread destruction of Jews to attain larger gains" after the war, and to "divide the booty," thus portraying his perspective of Jews as bloodthirsty profiteers with a dangerous agenda.That was back in 1982, but as recently as January 21, 2013, Abbas repeated his allegations. In an inter- view with the Hezbollah-affiliated TV station Al- Mayadeen, he challenged anyone to deny the rela- tionship between the Zionists and the Nazis before World War II. This is the same Palestinian leader who has declared that a future Palestinian state must be Judenrein , clean of Jews, and that selling land to Jews is a criminal offense.Where my conclusion converges with Manfred Ger- stenfeld's is that the Muslim brand of anti-Semitism is a dangerous mixture of religious, cultural and politi- cal hatred that has been brewing for a long period and has more recently been expressing itself in Pales- tinian nationalistic terms.What is at the deep heart of their hatred is the cul- tural anti-Semitism that pervades the Islamic world in the Middle East. It is omnipresent, it is incessant, and it has been rooted in their psyches for generations. It is a cultural and religious hatred that lies at their core and infects every aspect of their society. It is taught in their mosques, in their schools, incited by their reli- gious and political leaders. It finds voice in their newspapers, their religious texts, and their TV pro- grams.This constant incitement to hate and despise Jews infects their thoughts and words. It motivates them to lethal action. This is where they differ from the mindless mob member of Western street gangs.There, the poorly educated hooligan uses poverty and boredom to justify his anger, but poverty and a bad education are not the reasons for the European-based Muslim sociopaths who express their rage through anti-Semitic language and action.The two educated young Muslim terrorists who flew from Britain to blow up people in Tel Aviv's Mike's Place on April 30, 2003, did not do so out of resent- ment at the harsh reality of life in Britain. They were not Palestinian Arabs. They originated from Pakistan.Yet they targeted young Jews in distant Tel Aviv.Palestinian Arabs who fired hundreds of missiles may not admit it, they may not even be aware of it, but they own a double-layered motivation for their actions. "Occupation" and "Oppression" may be the metaphorical names of their rockets, but the fuel that launches them, and keeps them flying, is Jew hatred.It is the war against the Jew that gives them the thrill of going out and doing it again and again. With shouts of "Allahu Akbar!" they think they are striking out in a holy war against the Jew.There is no denying that Gaza is replete with rival terror groups. Their threatening behavior may be more deadly than their unruly co-religionists in Euro- pean cities but they are both criminal and violent thrill seekers, similar in their core malevolence, gra- tuitous violence and destructive attitude toward other people's life and property. What brings the criminal acts of both Muslim communities together is a mutual hatred of Jews.Surrounding the launch areas of Palestinian and Lebanese terrorism are a sea of brethren who share their anti-Semitic passion, though their violence may be muted by distance. Hence their vocal support. The evidence of this is broad and open to scrutiny. It is seen in the anti-Semitic hooliganism in places like Malmo, Sweden, where Muslim young men taunt and bully local Jews. Or in Paris, where a Jew can be grabbed, tortured and left to die by Muslim youths out for a bit of fun. It has deep roots among the Mus- lim immigrant population throughout Europe. They have imported this ageless hatred with them from their mother countries.THIS WAS confirmed recently by Abdelghani Merah who, in his book My Brother, the Terrorist: A Man Denounces Islamism emphasized that the critical moti- vation behind his brother's murderous attacks in Toulouse was the hatred and racism of anti-Semitism.The anti-Semitism of Mohamed Merah, his terrorist brother, who killed a rabbi and three young Jewish children in two cold-blooded attacks in March 2012, was "cultural." Abdelghani denounced his mother and father for raising an anti-Semitic "monster."According to him, this cultural hatred of Jews predes- tines people like his brother to "delinquency and, at worst, terrorism. We are programmed to become 'out- laws.'" His sister, Souad Merah, in an interview filmed by French TV channel M6, said she was proud of her brother for murdering the Toulouse Jews. "I am proud of my brother – proud, proud, proud."There is an unbroken cord linking French Algerians, the Arab street and Islamic terrorists. That cord is Jew hatred.The recent visit of leading French imams to Jerusalem was a good sign, but they have an enor- mous task to convey respect for Jews to the rank-and- file French Muslim youth whose anti-Semitic atti- tudes are formed prior to their arrival in France and other countries.Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah in Lebanon, infamously said, "If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice I do not say the Israeli." Tell me this is not anti-Semitism from a leader of one branch of our sociopathic enemy.Qatar hosts conferences that demonize Jews. In Doha, Friday sermons often call Jews "parasites."

Professional Wine Reviews for Wolf Blass Chardonnay Yellow LabelAdditional information » |
Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into full of surprises, full of delights.
The vast wine region of South Australia has long since shaken off its reputation problems and is now producing many of the finest wines of the New World. The advanced irrigation systems that run through the more arid areas of the region provide plenty of moisture to support a wide range of vines, and the temperate valley sides and mountainous regions of South Australia are ideal for large scale viticulture. Although Australia is most commonly associated with the big, flavorful Shiraz wines grown across this region, South Australia's wineries have been growing plenty of different varietals for several decades now, and have had great success with everything from Pinot Noir to Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay to Riesling. By using a blend of traditional techniques with modern technology, South Australia will continue to grow and develop as an important global wine region, and will no doubt continue to impress in the future.
Whilst most of Australia consists of arid deserts and dense bushland, the oceanic coasts to the south of the country have a terrain and climate ideal for vine cultivation and wine production. It took several decades of failed attempts at the end of the 18th century in order to produce vines of a decent enough quality for making wine, but since those first false starts, the Australian wine industry has continued to grow and grow. Today, wine production makes up for a considerable part of the Australian economy, with exports in recent years reaching unprecedented levels and even overtaking France for the first time ever. Whilst the greatest successes in regards to quality have been the result of the Syrah grape varietal (known locally as Shiraz), Australia utilizes several Old World grapes, and has had fantastic results from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay and more. As the Australian passion for locally produced wine continues to develop, wineries have begun experimenting with a wider range of grape varietals, meaning that nowadays it isn't uncommon to find high quality Australian wines made from Petit Verdot, Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Viognier, amongst many others.

Who Will the Wichita State Shockers Lose To First In 2013-14 Season?
The Wichita State Shockers made a run to the Final Four last season and they will be returning plenty of talent. However, who will they lose to first in the 2013-14 college basketball season?
The Shockers will not be truly tested until they take on the Saint Louis Billikens. Saint Louis won the Atlantic 10 last season and will have the talent to do so again. Wichita State will also have to play that game on the road.
However, the Shockers will live to fight another day in that battle. That is until the team plays the Tennessee Volunteers on Dec. 14. The Volunteers did not make the NCAA tournament last season, but they will return some of their best players from last year's team. Not to mention, Jeronne Maymon will also be back. He averaged 12.7 points per game and 8.1 rebounds per game in the 2011-12 season.
Tennessee will have to find a new point guard, but it still should compete for an SEC title and it should make the dance. If Wichita State gets by the Volunteers, then its next toughest opponent will be played against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Crimson Tide will have some talent and could surprise a lot of people in the 2013-14 season. They could not make the dance again as well.
If Wichita State makes it past Alabama, then it could run the tables.
The Creighton Bluejays will no longer be in the MVC, which is good news for the Shockers.
Regardless, I am predicting them to lose against Tennessee first.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Thursday pressed for a more aggressive U.S. military response in Iraq to combat Islamic state militants, including a sustained air campaign, and signaled he would support sending American ground troops.
"We need to have all of our options open," Perry told a standing-room-only crowd at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
The potential 2016 presidential candidate dismissed the "limited" air strikes that President Barack Obama has ordered as insufficient as the U.S. tries to help Iraqi and Kurdish forces regain control of large sections of Iraq.
Perry also faulted Obama for not providing arms to Syrian rebels battling forces loyal to President Bashar Assad early on in the three-year-old civil war. He derided Obama's insistence that "Assad must go" as "an opinion, not a policy." Story continues below video.
In adopting a hawkish stance, Perry is staking a position that many in the Republican Party have moved away from after more than a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, a reflection of a war-weary nation. His call for greater American involvement in Iraq and regrets about Syria also puts him at odds with possible presidential rival Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and number of other GOP conservatives.
Perry's openness to combat forces places him to the right of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of the loudest critics of Obama's policies and a fierce defense hawk who opposes any "significant" deployment of boots on the ground.
Perry acknowledged the mistake of the U.S. invasion of Iraq by his predecessor — President George W. Bush — and spoke of the politically driven decision to withdraw U.S. forces in 2011. He said Republicans and Democrats should not be hemmed in by history in fighting the Islamic state militants.
Perry came to Washington to deliver a speech that Heritage billed as a discussion of immigration, but the governor, who has tangled with the administration on U.S. border security policy, devoted much of his talk to national security.
His appearance came a week after he was indicted by a grand jury in Austin on charges stemming from his veto last summer of state funds for public corruption prosecutors. He pleaded not guilty on Tuesday shortly after he was fingerprinted and had his mug shot taken.
Perry shrugged off the pair of indictments, saying he was "very confident" in his case and quoting Democratic pundits who have suggested the charges were politically motivated.
Perry, whose 2012 presidential bid collapsed under the weight of his gaffes, is testing his political viability. He is heading to New Hampshire, the first in the nation primary state, for two days and then traveling to South Carolina next week.
In his speech, Perry described the militants as one of the most serious threats to Americans after attacks on a Christian minority and the beheading of an American journalist.
He also raised the prospect of members of the Islamic state crossing the U.S. -Mexico border, which he said is too porous because of inaction by Obama.
"We have a vital stake here, reluctant as we might be," he said.
On immigration, Perry dismissed any discussion of comprehensive immigration reform that is stalled in Congress, saying the border must be secured first. He said Obama has a constitutional obligation to protect the border.

WRENTHAM RESIDENTS: If you lose power during the upcoming storm, please be advised that the Public Safety Building will be used as a Warming Station!
NO TRASH Pickup on Tuesday, January 27th
ALL TOWN OFFICES, SENIOR CENTER, and FISKE PUBLIC LIBRARY will be CLOSED ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 27th.
Tips for Preparing for the SnowStorm
"Before the arrival of the storm this evening, it is important that you take the proper steps to ensure the safety of your family and home," said Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) Director Kurt Schwartz.
- Ensure your Emergency Kit is stocked with supplies to enable you to survive on your own for at least three to five days. There should be a first-aid kit, essential prescription medicines, non-perishable foods (those that require no refrigeration such as canned goods, dried fruits and nuts), a manual can opener, water (one gallon per person, per day), flashlights and extra batteries along with a portable radio or NOAA Weather Radio, baby-care or pet supplies items, extra blankets, sleeping bags and a fire extinguisher.
- Ensure that your Winter Emergency Car Kit is well stocked to keep you and your vehicle safe.
- This storm has the potential to bring widespread power outages, so take the opportunity to fully charge your cell phone, laptop, and any other devices in advance of a power outage.
- Those along the coast should be aware of potential flooding. Pay close attention to directives from you local public safety officials.
- Keep extra batteries for your phone in a safe place or purchase a solar-powered or hand crank charger. These chargers are good emergency tools to keep your laptop and other small electronics working in the event of a power outage. If you own a car, purchase a car phone charger because you can charge your phone if you lose power at your home.
- Gas up you automobiles because many local filling stations may also lose their ability to pump gas.
- Download the free Massachusetts Alerts app to your smartphone to receive important weather alerts and messages from MEMA. Easy instructions are available at www.mass.gov/mema/mobileapp.
- Trim dead tree branches and limbs close to your home. Ice, snow and wind can combine to snap limbs that can take down power lines or damage your home.
- Clean gutters. Melting snow and ice can build up if gutters are clogged with debris. When thawing begins, the water can back up under your roof and eaves causing damage to walls and ceilings.
- Check your homeowner's insurance policy to ensure adequate coverage.
- Ensure that your Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors are working correctly and have fresh batteries. Check your outside fuel exhaust vents, making sure that they are not obstructed by snow or ice. Never use cooking equipment intended for outside use indoors as a heat source or cooking device
- Have sufficient heating fuel, as regular sources may be cut off. Have the option of emergency heating equipment and fuel (a gas fireplace, wood burning stove or fireplace) so you can safely keep at least one room livable. Be sure the room is well ventilated.
- To keep pipes from freezing, wrap them in insulation or layers of newspapers, covering the newspapers with plastic to keep out moisture. Let faucets drip a little to avoid freezing.
- Know how to safely shut off gas, electric power and water valves.
- If you use medical equipment in your home that requires electricity, talk to your health care provider about how you can prepare for its use during a power outage. Ensure you have extra batteries for medical equipment and assistive devices.
- If you have life-support devices that depend on electricity, contact your local electric company about your power needs for life-support devices (home dialysis, suction, breathing machines, etc.) in advance of an emergency. Some utility companies will put you on a "priority reconnection service" list. Talk to your equipment suppliers about your power options and also let the fire department know that you are dependent on life-support devices.
- Find out about individual assistance that may be available in your community if you need it. Register in advance with the local emergency management agency, the local fire department, other government agencies or non-profit groups. Tell them of your individual needs or those of a family member and find out what assistance, help or services can be provided.
- If you use in-home support services, Meals-on-Wheels, Life Alert or other support services, work with them to personalize emergency preparedness plans to meet your needs so you can keep in touch with them during and after an emergency. That contact may be your lifeline to other services in a disaster.
- If you have or may have transportation needs, work with local transportation providers and/or disability services (e.g., Paratransit, Independent Living Centers) to plan ahead for accessible transportation.
- Develop back-up plans for personal assistance services, hospice or other forms of in-home assistance.
- Be a good neighbor. Check in on friends, family, and neighbors, particularly those most susceptible to extreme temperatures and power outages such as seniors and those with access and functional needs.
Regardless of the reason for, or the duration of, your life's intersection with Wrentham, we sincerely hope that you feel the warmth, generosity, and kindness of our people, the vigor of our uniquely New England form of democracy, the satisfaction we get from conserving the gentle beauty of our meadows, woodlands, lakes, and streams, and the simple joy that derives from being part of it all. It is New England pure and simple.
We further hope that through this website you will find a wealth of information that will help you participate in and enjoy everything that Wrentham has to offer. May your search be efficient and fruitful.
