dconfer (if you are still here) or anyone else that is interested:
I am considering purchasing this remote and have read through this entire thread (whew!). Here is what I take away from the previous 258 posts, as far as negatives of the XSight Touch:
1)… it can only control (via RF) a single DirecTV receiver. TRUE
2)… it's "a lemon if you have more than one device that changes channels" [see post #193] FALSE. This was taken out of context. Each activity can have it's own channel changing device just like harmony. I believe the OP wanted several favorites lists for different devices, which is a different issue.
3)… you cannot customize soft button placement [#193]. FALSE. Soft buttons can go anywhere. There are restrictions though. Once you place them on a page, you can move them anywhere on that page. To move a button to a different page, you must delete it and place it again. OP is correct that they fill in reverse order, one page at a time. It just requires some planning to get the layout you want.
4)… Activity and Device soft buttons share the same screen. Soft buttons for one appear for the other [#193]FALSE. This doesn't make sense to me. An activity that uses 4 devices, for instance, certainly doesn't have 4 devices worth of soft buttons. It has whatever buttons you added to the activity.
5)… "when you power off, it does NOT return to the home screen – it stays in whatever mode you were" [#193]. TRUE. But all you have to do is press the HOME button.
6)… it's hard to program. This point was made in several posts, see #221 for example. Sort of. It's more frustrating than harmony, but not by much. Once you understand how it works, it's not so bad.
7)… it may be problem with Toggle On And Off devices … This point was made in several posts, see #258 above for example. TRUE. Xsight, like most remotes, doesn't track device states. Harmony is somewhat unique in that ability.
In my case, issues 1 and 2 don't apply. Issues 3 and 4 are "only" an inconvenience. Issues 5, 6 and 7 are significant, though. I need to understand 7 better (for my own specific equipment).
Anyone else like to add more shortcomings? Did I summarize all this well?
Of course there are plenty of pluses too. To name a few … seems solidly made, works natively (via RF) with DirecTV receivers (even includes colored buttons and "List" button), RF capable, has macro capability, good key layout, nice backlighting, etc.
Hope this helps,
Edit: (tom robertson) removed the font tags altogether.
Great job assembling what's in this thread. No offense to the OP's, but unfortunately much of it is false. I'm no fan of this remote, but it does work fairly well. See my edits above.
This remote works differently from harmony. Activities are just macros on Xsight. They're not really states like they are in harmony. If you accept that, it works pretty well. If you expect it to be a harmony clone, you'll be disappointed.
I was disappointed in the battery life. But that may have been due to the heavy programming I did early on.
If you post your equipment, I can probably tell you if it all has discretes or not. Many devices without discretes have other commands that work just as well.
All that being said, I'd still take a harmony over xsight any day.

The standard treatment for pleural mesothelioma is chemotherapy. Radiation therapy is typically not used because radiation to the lining of the lung has many side effects that are often severe, including damage to the lung (pneumonitis).
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), a highly targeted way of delivering radiation, has been shown to cause fewer side effects than standard radiation therapy. IMRT specifically targets the lining of the lung, reducing the risk of damaging the lung itself.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of standard chemotherapy followed by IMRT in patients with previously untreated malignant pleural mesothelioma. This treatment approach is not intended as a cure for this cancer, but could potentially keep the tumor under control longer than standard chemotherapy alone.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Focus on Afghanistan, not Pakistan, army chief tells U.S.
By Qasim Nauman
ISLAMABAD | Wed Oct 19, 2011 7:51am EDT
(Reuters) - Pakistan's army chief told parliament's defense
committee the United States should focus on stabilizing Afghanistan
instead of pushing Pakistan to attack militant groups in a crucial
border region, a committee member told Reuters on Wednesday.
Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani's comments could deepen tensions in
the U.S.-Pakistan relationship, an alliance critical to efforts to
stabilize Afghanistan before the end of 2014 when NATO combat troops
are due home.
Kayani said Pakistan alone would decide if and when to launch a
full-scale offensive in North Waziristan, which Western intelligence
agencies say is a sanctuary for militants who cross the border to
attack U.S.-led NATO forces in Afghanistan.
He also said the United States would have to think "10 times" before
taking any unilateral action there. Pakistan is not like Iraq or
Afghanistan, the parliamentarian quoted Kayani as saying, suggesting
that any North Waziristan operation would be very risky.
The MP spoke on condition of anonymity.
"The problem lies in Afghanistan, not Pakistan," the parliamentarian
quoted Kayani as telling the committee in a national security
briefing at army headquarters.
The United States, the source of billions of dollars in aid, has
urged Pakistan over the years to go after militant groups in North
Waziristan, a rugged mountainous region where militants have forged
ties with powerful tribes.
"The purpose of this briefing was to mobilize support domestically
and to signal to the U.S. that this is the line we are not going to
cross at this stage," political analyst Hasan Askari Rizvi said.
"They have signaled what can and what cannot be done."
The pressure on Pakistan has become acute since U.S. special forces
killed Osama bin Laden in May in a Pakistani garrison town where he
had apparently been living for years.
The unilateral raid infuriated Pakistan's powerful military, which
described it as a violation of sovereignty. In Washington, some
angry officials wondered if elements of Pakistani intelligence had
sheltered bin Laden.
Pakistan said it had no idea he was living in the town of
Abbottabad, about a two-hour drive from the capital, Islamabad.
Although ties have been severely damaged over the issue of
militancy, few expect a complete rupture.
Pakistan's powerful military, which sets security and foreign
policy, has been reluctant to attack North Waziristan, saying it was
stretched fighting homegrown Taliban fighters elsewhere in Pakistan.
"If someone convinced me that all problems will be solved by taking
action in North Waziristan, I'd do it tomorrow," the parliamentarian
quoted Kayani as saying.
"If we need to take action, we will do it on our schedule and
according to our capacity."
Admiral Mike Mullen said before retiring as chairman of the U.S.
Joint Chiefs of Staff last month that the militant Haqqani group
that attacked U.S. targets in Afghanistan was a "veritable arm" of
Pakistan's spy agency, the Directorate of Inter-Services
The remarks infuriated Pakistani leaders, who denied links to the
group and said Pakistan had sacrificed more than any other country
that joined the U.S. "war on terror" after the September 11, 2001
attacks on the United States.
"All intelligence agencies have contacts. Don't the CIA and (the
British spy agency) MI6 have such contacts? It is through these
contacts that we get information," the parliamentarian quoted Kayani
as saying.
"The nice guys don't give you information. It is contacts like this
that yield intelligence. It is about whether you use this
information positively or negatively."
Analysts say Pakistan maintains ties with the al Qaeda-linked
Haqqanis because it sees the group as a lever in Afghanistan, where
rival India is vying for influence.
The Pakistani Taliban, who have ties to al Qaeda and Afghan Taliban
factions, are blamed for many of the suicide bombings across
unstable, nuclear-armed Pakistan.
On Tuesday, Pakistan's interior minister said the government would
only hold peace talks with insurgents if they laid down their
weapons first. Both sides earlier signaled a willingness to consider
Past peace deals with the Taliban, which the United States has put
on its list of foreign terrorist organizations, failed to improve
security and instead enabled it to build up strength and impose its
harsh version of Islam in areas ceded to it.
North Waziristan: `US may attack, but they'll think 10 times'
By Irfan Ghauri
Published: October 19, 2011
" If anyone convinces me that everything will be sorted out if we
act in North Waziristan, I will take immediate action," Army chief
General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani.
The army chief did not rule out the possibility of a US ground
offensive in North Waziristan, but told parliamentarians at a
briefing on Tuesday that Washington will think `many times' before
launching such an attack.
"They [the US] might do it but they will have to think ten times
because Pakistan is not Iraq or Afghanistan," Chief of Army Staff
General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani was quoted as telling members of
parliament's defence committees at a briefing at the General
Headquarters that went on for over three hours.
Acknowledging that the US is pressing Pakistan to launch a military
operation in North Waziristan, Kayani said that the ongoing build-up
of Afghan and International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) troops
along the Pak-Afghan border is a tactic to intensify that pressure.
"We have made it clear to the US that we will decide the timing of
any such action according to our situation and capabilities. We have
also told them that the problem lies within Afghanistan. If anyone
convinces me that everything will be sorted out if we act in North
Waziristan, I will take immediate action," a parliamentarian,
requesting anonymity, quoted Kayani as saying.
General Kayani's statement came hours after senior Afghan defence
officials said the country's security forces and their Nato allies
have launched a new push against the Haqqani network.
(Read: Afghanistan, NATO launch `new push against Haqqanis')
Leaving no ambiguity over reasons for the operation, an Afghan
defence ministry official told AFP on condition of anonymity that
the action was tied to recent spats between Washington and
Islamabad. While he declined to specify the operation's scope,
another senior official from the ministry said it was "largely
against the Haqqani network".
According to Afghan Defence Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak, the
operation has been codenamed "Knife Edge" and was launched two days
ago. "This operation is launched along the border because the enemy
lately operates along the border on both sides. Sometimes on this
side and sometimes on the other side," Afghan Chief of Army Staff
Sher Mohammad Karimi said.
General Kayani said that Pakistan had handed over its position on
Afghanistan to the Obama administration in writing in 2010 and had
asked the Americans to elaborate on their position but they had not
done so. "We have long-term interests in Afghanistan, others might
have short ... For short-term gains, we cannot lose [sight of] our
long-term interests," the army chief said.
But responding to a question on Pakistan's interests in Afghanistan,
Kayani sought to dispel the perception that Pakistan was seeking
so-called strategic depth in Afghanistan.
(Read: Pakistan needs strategic depth)
"We cannot leave both our eastern and western borders insecure,"
Kayani asserted. "It is wishful thinking to achieve strategic depth
in Afghanistan. The Russians tried, the Brits tried, the Americans
are trying. We don't have a magic wand," a participant quoted
Kayani's response.
However, Kayani did not deny that Pakistani secret agencies
maintained contacts with `certain elements' within the hierarchy of
Afghan insurgent groups. "That is where we get our information, the
intelligence, from," he yielded. "The important thing is how we use
the information gathered from these elements. You can do it
positively and negatively."
`No need for US aid'
In a press release issued by the military after a recent corps
commanders' meeting, Kayani is said to have stressed that the
Pakistan Army does not need US aid and that he had told American
officials that he means what he said.
"We got only 25% of the aid from the Kerry-Lugar Act. Pakistan Army
has no objection if the US converts its military aid into civilian
assistance," he said.
(Read: From chorus to crescendo - `Ties with Haqqanis' threaten
civilian aid)
Stressing on civilian responsibility for peace, he said that the
military can only secure areas where it conducts operations, but
civilians need to take control and maintain law and order.

US attack in N. Waziristan unlikely
By Iftikhar A. Khan | From the Newspaper
(15 hours ago) Today
Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. - File Photo
ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani has
ruled out the possibility of an immediate unilateral US military
offensive in North Waziristan, saying the Americans will have to
think 10 times before going for this.
The comments came at a rare briefing held on Tuesday for members of
the standing committees on defence of the two houses of parliament
at the General Headquarters.
A participant of the meeting told Dawn that the army chief had been
asked to comment on the possibility of a US strike in Pakistan for
its failure in Afghanistan, like it had attacked Laos and Cambodia
before leaving Vietnam.
Gen Kayani did not say what would be Pakistan's response in such an
eventuality, but reminded that it was a nuclear power and must not
be compared with Iraq and Afghanistan.
The briefing was mainly given by the Director General of Military
Operations, Maj-Gen Ashfaq Nadeem, but the army chief also shared
his views with the lawmakers, mainly about fears of US military
build-up close to North Waziristan and the possibility of a
unilateral attack in the region, and the army's concern over the
weak legal framework hindering trial and prosecution of terrorists.
It was probably for the first time that two parliamentary bodies
jointly attended a comprehensive briefing on national security at
the GHQ. The briefing was originally scheduled for Oct 13 and an
invitation was also extended to the Parliamentary Committee on
National Security, headed by Mian Raza Rabbani, to attend the
meeting. But the committee had decided to boycott the briefing and
wanted it to be held at the Parliament House.
Almost all other members of the standing committees on defence
attended the GHQ meeting. However, Professor Khurshid Ahmad, who is
a member of both the Parliamentary Committee on National Security
and the Senate's Standing Committee on Defence, boycotted the
Another participant said Gen Kayani had rejected the US allegations
that Pakistan was using the Haqqani network for waging a proxy war
in Afghanistan and said his country was a part of solution, and not
the problem.
He said he had told the Americans that Pakistan would go for a
military action in North Waziristan keeping in view the situation
and capabilities, and would not do it under any pressure. "If
somebody convinces me that military action in North Waziristan will
resolve all problems, I am ready to go for it tomorrow," he said.
He said the problem was within Afghanistan and made it clear that
some principles governed relations between states and nobody would
be allowed to cross the red line. Gen Kayani rejected a perception
that Pakistan wanted to control Afghanistan and said it was evident
from history that nobody ever succeeded in doing so.
"When the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union failed to do so how
can it be expected of Pakistan? We do not have a magic wand to
succeed in doing what others failed," he added.
The army chief said Pakistan wanted peace and stability in
Afghanistan so that it did not face any challenge from its eastern
and western borders.
He said Pakistan had handed over its position in black and white to
US President Barack Obama and desired to get their position in
writing as well. He said Pakistan would never allow its territory to
be used for attacks against any other country.
Gen Kayani said the US had been told that Pakistan did not need
military aid, adding that he had received a call from Washington
asking if he meant it. "My reply was we mean what we say". He said
only 20 per cent of the $1.5 billion aid under the Kerry-Lugar bill
had so far been received.
About the allegations of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)
having `unsavoury characters', he said the intelligence information
came from links and all international intelligence agencies,
including Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and MI6, had such
contacts. He stressed that these contacts must be positively used.
Gen Kayani said it had been conveyed to the US that Pakistan had a
long-term interest in the region and would not like to lose its
long-term interest for short-term gains.
He underlined the need for revisiting the legal framework to
prosecute those involved in terrorist activities. "The present law
does not allow us to detain suspects for more than three months.
This was not a sufficient time and terrorists gain out of it."
The army chief said the weak law on terrorism and counter-insurgency
was a problem because presently there was no deterrence. He said the
law of evidence was outdated and not in conformity with the present
scenario. He said a bill seeking to amend the Anti-Terrorist Act of
1997 had been pending before a Senate committee for almost a year.
Maj-Gen Ashfaq Nadeem informed the legislators that Taliban activity
in Afghanistan had increased by 40 per cent, despite 10 years of
military presence of 49 countries. He said there were safe havens of
Taliban in Kunar and Nuristan in Afghanistan.
"Taliban operate from there (Afghanistan) to launch attacks inside
Maj-Gen Nadeem said India's cold start doctrine had added to the
threats confronting Pakistan. He said seven out of nine Indian
commands and three strike corps were along the border with Pakistan.
Eighty-one per cent of forward and main operating bases were
positioned against Pakistan.
"We cannot base our strategies on any good intentions, no matter how
noble they may be, as intentions can change overnight.
Our strategy has to be based on India's capability," he added.
Pakistan Army Chief Tells US: Focus on Afghanistan
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: October 19, 2011 at 5:48 AM ET
ISLAMABAD (AP) - Pakistan's powerful army chief said in a rare
briefing to parliamentarians that the U.S. should focus its efforts
on stabilizing neighboring Afghanistan, rather than pressuring
Islamabad to step up its war against Islamist militants on Pakistani
territory, a parliament member said Wednesday.

Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kayani's appearance before two parliamentary
defense committees followed increased U.S. pressure on Pakistan to
crack down on the Haqqani militant network, believed to be based in
the country's North Waziristan tribal area along the Afghan border.
The U.S. has deemed the Haqqani network the most dangerous threat to
American troops in Afghanistan and has accused the Pakistan
military's spy agency, the ISI, of supporting the militants - an
allegation denied by Islamabad.
"The real problem lies in Afghanistan, not in Pakistan," Kayani was
quoted as saying by a parliament member who attended the three-hour
briefing at army headquarters in Rawalpindi. He spoke on condition
of anonymity because the meeting was not open to the media.
The Pakistan army said in a statement that the briefing occurred,
but did not provide details on the discussion.
Some analysts have accused the U.S. of focusing on Pakistan and the
Haqqani network as a way to redirect blame over stuttering efforts
to stabilize Afghanistan.
The Pakistani military has also sought to deflect blame for its
failure to crack down on the Haqqanis by saying that NATO and Afghan
forces need to do more to prevent militants from crossing over from
Afghanistan and attacking Pakistan.
Kayani said his military could launch a full-scale operation in
North Waziristan "tomorrow" if someone convinced him that the it was
the root cause of problems in Afghanistan, said the committee
That represents a shift from the military's normal explanation for
its lack of action in North Waziristan: that its troops are
stretched too thin by operations in other parts of the tribal region
against Pakistani Taliban militants at war with the state.
Unlike the Pakistani Taliban, the Haqqani network and the Afghan
branch of the Taliban usually refrain from fighting the Pakistani
army, instead focusing their attacks against Afghan and NATO forces
in Afghanistan.
Many analysts believe Pakistan has refused to target these groups
because they could be important allies in Afghanistan after foreign
forces withdraw.
Adm. Mike Mullen, who was until recently the top military officer in
the U.S., claimed last month that the Haqqani network was a
"veritable arm" of the ISI and accused the spy agency of helping the
group carry out an attack against the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
Kayani said the ISI has contacts with the Haqqani network that it
uses to get intelligence, claiming U.S. and British spy agencies do
the same.
Mullen's comments outraged Pakistani officials and prompted local
media speculation that the U.S. would launch a unilateral raid
against the Haqqanis in North Waziristan, as it did on May 2 when it
killed al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani garrison town.
Kayani said the U.S. should think "10 times" before launching such
action because Pakistan was not Iraq or Afghanistan - an implicit
reference to the country possessing nuclear weapons with which it

Having A Membership Site Is A Simple Way To Make Money Online Every Single Day..
"You're About To Discover One Of The Most Affordable, Easiest To Use, And Quickest-To-Learn Membership Site Scripts Available Today!"
Date: From: Thomas Sheets & Kenneth Kraakstad
Dear Online Marketer,
The EZ Membership Script is an affordable, easy to use and quick-to-learn script that you can install on your server which will allow you to give away something for free of high value that people want in exchange for their contact information (name and email), like an eBook, report, software, videos, etc..
When your visitors take you up on your offer and join (opt-in to your list), and verify their email address, they will be shown a one-time offer where you can offer them an upgrade related to your free offer. This offer is of way higher value with a really great price attached to it making it almost irresistible.
If they buy, you earn cash.. and if they pass, they'll still be able to upgrade inside and will be an instant affiliate so that they can earn commissions by promoting YOUR site!
Listen.. When people signup to get your "bait" they instantly become a member of your membership site. Which means, they now have login details and can login to access your freebies along with any bonuses that you might throw in. This form of marketing is highly effective because you can literally add more for your members to access every week, then email them to let them know to login to access their new gifts, tools, resources, etc..
Every time they login is another chance for you to sell them something or another chance for you to get free members to upgrade! Powerful.
This type of marketing strategy is not my own. It was popularized mainly by Mike Filsaime a few years back when he came out with his popular membership script Butterfly Marketing.
The way you use the script and the way it will work will be very similar to The Butterfly Marketing script but without the heavy price tag and less complicated to setup and manage in my opinion. See for yourself what you can get the Butterfly Marketing script ($797-$1997) for. That is a great, powerful script and in my opinion Mike Filsaime is a marketing genius, do not get me wrong. I follow his projects and promote and buy many of his products.
However...My script is simple enough but still powerful enough to do the job of building your list and making you money for way less of an investment and without as much technical skill needed.. You see, We try to help out the little guys first, since We know how it is to be just starting out and know how it feels not to that many resources readily available...(usually money and time)
We know many of us when first starting out online do not have $797-$1997 laying around to invest in something like that. So, with that being said..This is why We came out with The EZ Membership Script..
One Of The Most Affordable, Easiest To Use, And Quickest-To-Learn Membership Site Scripts Available
"yours is easier to use, set up, and just all around more user friendly!"
I have the Butterfly Marketing Script and was one of your first to by your EZ Membership Site Script when you brought it out. I have to tell you, even though the BFM script is Excellent, yours is easier to use, set up, and just all around more user friendly! Not complicated to install or configure. Excellent work with this one my friend. Thanks alot! George Middleton http://ezmarketinghelp.com
"This is the best membership site script that I have found anywhere!"
This is the best membership site script that I have found anywhere! I tried 2 other options that each cost > $500. Unfortunately, both were too difficult to set up and run. I wish that I would have found this $97 option before I spent so much time and money on something that I can't use. This script is really great, simple to set up, and the owner has always been quick to respond to any questions that I have asked. John Q. Miller http://outsourceyourclicking.com
"Thanks Frank for a wonderful script and support."
I have Purchased two other products from Frank. Every time he has gone that extra mile. The tutorials were so easy to understand and when I needed help he was there. Thanks Frank for a wonderful script and support.
Brian Zens brianzens.com
Again, here is just a sample of what can be done with the simple to use, install, and learn EZ Membership Script:
After your visitors opt-in and either buy your offer or pass, remember they will still be affiliates. This leverages your business by running your own in-house referral program where you can give your new members tons of promo tools so that they can promote your site - gaining you MORE members! This benefit alone will make your site viral as new members will promote your site so that they can earn commissions.
So what if 90% or so of your opt-ins do not buy your offer.. You will also be able to add in a downsell if they pass on your OTO..and both offers will not be accessible again if the member types in the URL's.. so they will be true special offers..
With The EZ Membership Script you'll even be able to offer your new members a third offer once they login!
The EZ Membership Script has a built in autoresponder for you to build your list and to stay in touch with your members on autopilot. I have currently 8 hot and active sites where I email my members from the script.. NOT A PROBLEM... don't let some people scare you out of success...
And guess what? If a member does not want to receive your follow ups anymore, he can delete his account right from any email you send him. You will be CAN SPAM compliant always and emails will only go out to verified members.
- Just added: If you have your own autoresponder account, you'll be happy to know we have added in the ability for you to use 3rd party autoresponders now!
"It is a great script and I know I will make a ton of money with it."
Hello Frank I just installed your EZ Membership Script. I have to say the title is correct. This was the first script I have ever installed and thanks to your great instructions in the Readme file, the job was finished in no time flat. It was EZ.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

compromise option for the PNA is. Here is an excerpt about what Sarko was
reportedly peddling yesterday that clarifies it all:
" Sarkozy met with Abbas Tuesday, and diplomats close to the talks said
the French leader told the Palestinian leader that he would outline a
proposal for the Palestinians to seek upgraded status with the General
Assembly, where no member holds a veto. The resolution would be designed
to make Palestine a non-member observer state, raising its status from
that of permanent observer."
On 2011 Sep 21, at 04:53, Benjamin Preisler <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not seeing anything new here. [CF]
Abbas was expected to deliver a formal request for statehood recognition
Friday when he speaks to the General Assembly. But it could take weeks
or months for the U.N. to act on the Palestiniansa** request.
Uh, I feel like the UN's going to act quicker on this than a "weeks or
months" but this means that the whole mess isn't only going to last a
few days. Also a reminder that Friday is when Abbas formally submits the
statehood bid. I expect shit to go off on Saturday because his and
Bibi's speeches will be broadcast here in the middle of the night.
French want Palestinians to drop U.N. membership bid
September 21, 2011 11:04 AM
UNITED NATIONS: The French and U.S. presidents planned to heap pressure
on their Palestinian counterpart Wednesday in a concerted push to
persuade Mahmoud Abbas to end his bid for full U.N. membership and to
instead seek upgraded status in the world body.
Nicolas Sarkozy, the French leader, and President Barack Obama will
make their pitches during speeches at the opening session of the U.N.
General Assembly. Obama will likewise argue in private against the
Palestinian drive for U.N. membership when he meets with Abbas
U.S. officials conceded they cannot stop Abbas from officially
launching his case for the Security Councila**s approval of the
statehood effort, but also make the case for the Palestinian leader to
essentially drop the move for statehood recognition after delivering his
letter of intent to the U.N.
Abbas was expected to deliver a formal request for statehood
recognition Friday when he speaks to the General Assembly. But it could
take weeks or months for the U.N. to act on the Palestiniansa** request.
a**The president will say, frankly, the same thing in private that
hea**ll say in public, which is that we do not believe that this is the
best course of action for achieving Palestinian aspirations,a** White
House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said.
And while Obama will formally ask Abbas not to pursue the statehood
bid, the mission is actually directed at containing the fallout by
urging the Palestinian leader not to push for an actual vote in the
Council, where the U.S. has promised a veto. A delay would give
international peacemakers time to produce a statement that would be the
basis for resumed Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
Obama will also meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Sarkozy met with Abbas Tuesday, and diplomats close to the talks said
the French leader told the Palestinian leader that he would outline a
proposal for the Palestinians to seek upgraded status with the General
Assembly, where no member holds a veto. The resolution would be designed
to make Palestine a non-member observer state, raising its status from
that of permanent observer. The diplomats spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss private talks.
With Abbas determined to seek membership rather than upgraded status,
the Palestinian delegation relentlessly knocked on diplomatic doors at
the U.N. trying to sell their case for international recognition.
Netanyahu, issued dire warnings against hasty action as he boarded his
jet for New York. Obama plans to meet with Netanyahu as well as Abbas.
The issue of the unilateral Palestinian declaration of statehood, born
of decades of frustration and failed negotiations with Israel, has
consumed diplomats who are gathering for Wednesdaya**s opening of the
annual U.N. General Assembly ministerial meeting.
Abbas has rejected all attempts to steer him away from formally
submitting an application for full U.N. membership.
For his part, Netanyahu, in a meeting with members of his hardline
Likud Party before leaving Jerusalem late Tuesday, vowed to speak a**the
trutha** in New York a** a**the truth of a people that wants peace, a
nation that was attacked time after time and that is being attacked time
after time by those that dona**t oppose our policies but rather our very
He said he would warn world leaders against prematurely establishing a
Palestinian state when many issues in the conflict must still be
resolved. He did not elaborate, saying this would be the focus of his
speech to the U.N. Friday, scheduled shortly after Abbas speaks.
With the Palestinian issue nearing a diplomatic and political crisis,
American diplomats have worked at a furious pace to lure the
Palestinians back to negotiations, knowing a U.S. veto was certain to
inflame anti-American sentiment in the Arab world.
Under a new approach that has been pulled together in three days of
meetings in New York, the Quartet of Mideast peace mediators a** the
U.S., European Union, United Nations and Russia a** would issue a
statement addressing both Palestinian and Israeli concerns and setting a
timetable for a return to the long-stalled peace talks, U.S. officials
Israel would have to accept its pre-1967 Mideast War borders with land
exchanges as the basis for a two-state solution, and the Palestinians
would have to recognize Israela**s Jewish character if they were to
reach a deal quickly, officials close to the talks said. The officials
spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss ongoing diplomacy.
European officials, supported by the United States, were outlining the
compromise agreement to the Israeli and Palestinian governments, and
asking for tough concessions from each. That was creating undertones of
pessimism that mediators would be able to bring Israel and the
Palestinians back to the negotiating table. The goal would be a
comprehensive agreement.
The Palestinians would be allowed to deliver their letter of request
Friday to the United Nations, but would agree not to act on it for a
year or withdraw it at a later point. That would allow Abbas to save
face and prevent an embarrassing defeat that might empower his Fatah
partya**s rival faction, the militant islamic group Hamas, which is
considered a terrorist group by Israel and the United States.
The Palestinians could also go to the U.N. General Assembly, where they
have overwhelming support, but would have to seek instead some form of
intermediate upgrade of their status that would stop short of a full
recognition of statehood.
And the quartet, with Israel and the Palestiniansa** advance approval,
would give the two sides a year to reach a framework agreement, based on
Obamaa**s vision of borders fashioned from Israela**s pre-1967 boundary,
with agreed land swaps. The statement would also endorse the idea of
a**two states for two peoples, Jewish and Palestinian,a** which would be
a slightly amended version of Israela**s demand for recognition
specifically as a a**Jewish state.a**
Were the Palestinians to bow to the ideas of Obama and Sarkozy, they
would become a non-member observer state, a status similar to that of
the Holy See. That would give them an opportunity to seek membership in
U.N. agencies and join treaties, including the Rome statute that
established the International Criminal Court.
But Mohammad Ishtayeh, an Abbas aide, said Lebanona**s President Michel
Suleiman, whose country holds the Security Council presidency this
month, urged the Palestinian leader at a meeting Tuesday to proceed with
the application for U.N. membership.
Ishtayeh said Abbasa** discussions Tuesday with Sarkozy and British
Foreign Secretary William Hague a**focused on what can be done to avoid
going to the Security Council,a** adding that a**some still believe that
a way out can be found.a** But he said Abbas made it clear that the
discussions should be focused on the aftermath of the Palestinian
application for recognition to the Security Council.

Forms of Acne Treatment Include: Laser resurfacing, the laser removes the damaged top layer of skin and tightens the middle layer, leaving skin smoother. Dermabrasion, which utilizes a rotating wire brush or spinning diamond instrument to wear down the surface of the skin. As the skin heals, a new, smoother layer replaces the abraded skin. Fractional laser therapy is a deeper level of treatment than laser resurfacing or dermabrasion. Fractional laser therapy doesn't wound the top layer of tissue making for a more rapid healing process.

The St. James Parish Sheriff's Office will conduct a Child Safety Seat Check-up event on Saturday, May 28, 2011, from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M at Winn Dixie, with the help of the South Central Planning & Development Commission and Winn Dixie. The Winn Dixie store is located at 1803 La 3125 Gramercy, La 70052.
Misuse of child safety seats can be attributed to the variety of child seats available and the variety of vehicles on the market today. Why are child safety seats so important? Research shows they are 71% effective in reducing deaths for infants and 54% effective in reducing toddler deaths during a motor vehicle crash. But it's important to remember, child safety seats are only effective if used correctly. Studies have shown that as many as 3 out of 4 car seats are used incorrectly. This child safety seat check-up can help prevent the misuse of child seats by educating the public on the proper seat and installation for the vehicle being used.
This event will allow for certified child safety seat technicians "both law enforcement and not" to assist parents and caregivers with the proper information and installation regarding a child safety seat in vehicles. In addition, certified technicians will provide life saving information as to what child safety seat should be utilized in regards to age, weight, and height limits.
At the checkup event, St. James Sheriff's Office will be joined by LSP Troop C and new CPS technicians from Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council for South Louisiana (ADAC), Lafourche SO, Lady of the Sea General Hospital and Houma Police Department.
This service is provided free of charge, and everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.

Definition | Reasons for Procedure | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Doctor
A thoracotomy is a surgery to open the chest wall. The surgery allows access to the lungs, aorta, heart, diaphragm, and spine. Depending on the disease location, a thoracotomy may be done in the center or on the right or left side of the chest.
A thoracotomy may be done to:
If you are planning to have a thoracotomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may perform:
Leading up to surgery:
General anesthesia will be given. You will be asleep during the surgery.
You will be placed on your side with your arm elevated. An incision will be made between two ribs, from front to back. The chest wall will then be opened. In some cases, the doctor may take a different approach. The doctor can then do whatever procedure needs to be done in the open chest. When the procedure is done, one or more chest tubes will be placed. The tubes will make sure that blood or air does not collect in the chest. The chest wall will be closed. The incision is closed with stitches or staples and bandaged to prevent infection.

Forest Grove is a small town in Oregon, but it might have a large role to play for getting veterans jobs in the state and around the nation. According to the News-Times, Forest Grove Fire & Rescue is the first fire department in the state that has had its student-volunteer program approved as an official On-The-Job (OTJ) training program, which means the VA can now pay veterans serving as student-volunteer firefighters (formerly "interns") in the same way it pays apprentices in other fields.
A firefighting career has been a logical landing spot for former servicemembers, as the profession requires teamwork, camaraderie, and being able to keep your head in dangerous and even life-threatening situations. The Forest Grove program may open the doors for other firefighting programs to join OTJ.
Such approval is "extremely uncommon across the nation," said Kate Nicholson, education liaison with the VA. "I only know of one other state that has this type of OTJ program for firefighters."
"A majority of veterans who come back from active duty have 'combat' as their skill set," said John Kersey, who handled the OTJ approval at Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries.
"How does that translate into the workforce? Well, it doesn't," Kersey said — except in fields like law enforcement, firefighting/paramedics or private security.
Firefighting is a great post-military career, according to FGF&R Fire Marshal Dave Nemeyer. With their hierarchies of lieutenants, captains and such, fire departments are already somewhat paramilitary, he said.
In addition, "Fire service is sort of changing," Nemeyer said. "It used to be 20-year-olds straight out of community college applying to be firefighters, but now we're looking at guys and girls who have a lot of life experience."
For more veteran job listings, feel free to check out the Military.com Veteran Jobs Center. And if you happen to be looking at a firefighting career, you might want to present this article to your local fire department and see if they can work out an arrangement similar to Forest Grove's.

Bitchery Reader Fizz sent me an email that led to the Google Search of Champions. Heather writes about:
potentially THE most powerful endorsement of romance in the known universe.
See, there is this show called Top Gear, aired on the BBC and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson (AKA 'Clarkson'), Richard Hammond ('Hamster') and James May ('Captain Slow').
TG is a car show at heart – it's a hilariously awesome car show, but it's basically all about the shiny bodywork and VROOM VROOM noises, with the occasional deep and meaningful question…like for example, "How many motorcycles can you jump in a bus?" or "Can you turn a 1974 Reliant Robin – otherwise known as one of the little three-wheeled cars from Mr Bean – into a functioning space shuttle?" or "Can a Bugatti Veyron outrun a fighter jet?"
They have a tame racing driver, who does the test drives: The Stig
The Stig likes to listen to romance audiobooks in the car. He's quite famous for it. No one knows who or what he is, but Stig is loved by all…and he loves his romance.
Is it possible to get any more powerful validation as a genre? What do you think?
Seriously, the BBC just loves to stick the knife in and twist, doesn't it? Clever witty shows about cars… and I'm unable to watch them. WOE I HAS IT.
According to the Wiki, The Stig has driven laps listening to power ballads, and learn Italian tapes, but a few other sites reference The Stig's listening habits.
So, hello out there in BBC land: anyone watch this show? The burning question is, what novels is The Stig listening to!?

My apple pie tastes sweeter cold than hot.
JUB is not Facebook. We don't have a wall and we can't poke one another but we have awesome emoticons and free porn!
I just wish Zynga would give us a porn game.
I've learnt to pay more attention to the top left corner of my quilt (to my right as I'm lying in bed) when I have a full mug of tea freshly placed down beside it, lest it slips down and falls into the tea and soaks itself.
That Windsor, Canada is the rectum of the Earth.
That watching an anime police procedural can be pretty fun.
That there are such things as inhalers filled with powder medicine.
I learned that I have well done to upgrade my dosage of antidepressant to 60mg, the black has retreated into numbness, it's way more peaceful up there.
Magna Veritas
That eating 2 footlong subs a day is not a good idea.
You mean of the sort? http://www.franquiciashoy.es/logos_f..._10_Subway.jpg
I have learned that people are cunts!
I've have "learnt" that I am not a hillbilly and I don't speak that way..
Sizequeens are still hot in JUB
come now, my child. if we were planning to harm you, do you think
we'd be lurking here beside the path in the darkest part of the forest?
Keep learning, you snobbish ignorant [North]American
I learned that a former friend that I thought didn't care at all about me still does at least a little bit, and there may be hope for the future.
In his autumn, before the winter, comes man's last mad surge of youth
I learnt that learnt is an actual word which I didn't think it was but I read up and learnt that it is so I'm done learning something new today...

So far not a great deal but I need a new space bar for this laptop or more precisely the springs underneath are not functioning properly because there are dead zones at the ends of the space bar (you tap and nothing happens). Yeah, I removed it already and cleaned underneath no effect...
^I'veabsolutelynocluewhatnonsenseyou'retalkingabou t.Thisneverhappenstomeatall.
That approximately 3000 of the most common Russian words make up about 80% of the spoken language. No, I don't speak Russian....
About him, and him, about the history of the Elgin cathedral, White City, that Tübingen, Marburg, Göttingen, Freiburg and Heidelberg are the five classical university towns of Germany, that Salieri became court composer in 1774, and that next Thursday starts the Christmas street lighting period in Barcelona (I knew about the Shopping Night, but was not sure about the LED crap kicking off too).
Oh, and that Beethoven's younger brothers were called Caspar Anton Carl and Nikolaus Johann.
Ok, finally something of real interest, just twelve minutes before Saturday: 滑头商号.
1. Despite the fact my roommate and I don't get along, I realize that she's a motivational individual.
2. My laptop is breaking down.
that even though i'm not an old jersey bastard, i look like an old jersey bastard. fucking jub members looking extra young making me look extra old.
You mean like this? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XKJtdR_9Rn...d-2008-ftd.jpg
To question everything.
Tis? better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
Or, once is not enough but better than nothing.
Being learned, I learned that "learnt" is primarily a European English usage and that "learnt" is now replaced by "learned" for those learned in American English. In fact, "learnt" is considered practically unlearned and may be colloquial. I learned this from Wikipedia and dictionaries.
Yep, that's right... damn the late 1980s, when I started learning British English I always have the reflex movement to spell "learned" but then I always remember my first lessons with "learn, learned & learnt" which I assimilated as "learn, learned, learnt" Besides, being a Catalan Spaniard, I don't think there's any way in which I can avoid pronouncing a final -t rather than a -d.
Cummingtonite is (Mg,Fe)7Si8O22(OH)2, Magnesium Iron Silicate Hydroxide.
It was the actually part of the other day's glean, but it is ever such a fascinating subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabermetrician
I found an ancient peanut butter recipe made with pureed peanuts and clarified butter, mixed together to make a paste.
I can't wait to try it.
I learnt that the generator I need to keep from losing power for days at a time will cost us in the 5 figure range...ouch
