Recent Whistler reviews
"My girlfriends and I rented the chalet for a girls weekend away and it was over and beyond what we had expected. The chalet is very spacious, and the kitchen and living areas were great for doing a large dinner and entertaining. The hot tub was a perfect way to relax at the end of the day. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back as soon as possible!"Guest: elyse v. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: May 11, 2015View listing
"A great condo for Whistler. Easy drive to Whistler Village and Creekside. But with free parking at Creekside and short line for Gondola is was an easy way to get on the mountain. The big hot tub and huge deck were perfect for after skiing. Also really liked the wood burning fireplace with the gas to get it started. My wife loved the heated floors in the kitchen and bathrooms and my kids loved the xbox and games. A great get away and we will be back for sure. Thanks!"Guest: Brad R.

"A group of friends (8 adults and 3 children) recently stay at this beautiful place. It's really big and clean and really accommodates large groups well. It's really, really close (walking distance) to the village, restaurants and the grocery store. We would definitely stay here again. Almost every bedroom has it's own bathroom, and there is plenty of beds. Everyone in our group was comfortable. Great neighborhood!"Guest: Anitra Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 26, 2015View listing
"Linda's condo was perfect for our family's stay. Quiet and only a quick bus ride from the Village! It was nice having a kitchen to cook some of our own meals. Being on the first floor was nice for the kids to run around in the 'yard'."Guest: Kymm H. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 12, 2015View listing
Whistler Travel Tips
Just two hours north of Vancouver you'll find Whistler, a top Canadian resort destination that's great for a visit year-round. This spot is situated near Whistler and Blackcomb mountains with a lively base village. In the winter, it's the perfect spot to enjoy hours of skiing, snowboarding and other exciting cold weather activities. When the weather warms up, Whistler offers championship golf courses, plenty of hiking and biking trails, and much more.
All year long you can peruse the variety of shops in Whistler and try the different bars and restaurants for delicious meals and drinks.
Whistler was so named for the furry animals in the area that sound like they're whistling. The area is centered around four main neighborhoods: Whistler Village, Village North, Upper Village and Creekside.
Cold Weather Activities
- Whistler Blackcomb: For some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the area, head to Whistler Blackcomb. This was the official skiing spot for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Whistler and Blackcomb are side-by-side mountains that offer collectively more than 200 marked runs, more than 8,000 acres of terrain, 14 alpine bowls and three glaciers. This spot receives more than 430 inches of snow each year, making it one of the longest ski seasons in North America. Whether you're an avid skier or snowboarder or it will be your first time on a run, you're sure to have a great experience with with so many different trail options.
- Sleigh rides: If you've traveled with your sweetheart or your family, a Blackcomb horse drawn sleigh ride is a must. It's a perfect way to enjoy the winter wonderland as you glide across the snow. Snuggle up under a warm, cozy blanket, sip hot chocolate and listen to the jingle bells as the Percheron draft horses pull you through the snow-covered forest trails.
- Snowshoe trails: Enjoy a winter walk with snowshoes. Whistler offers a variety of trails like Trapper's Trail, Natural Mystic Tour, Winter Wonderland and more where you can explore the natural scenery and keep an eye out for local wildlife. Snowshoeing is a fun activity for people of all ages, and you can rent snowshoes if you don't own a pair.
- Whistler Day Spa: After all the vigorous activities like skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing, your body is bound to feel a little sore. Sooth your aching muscles and allow yourself to relax with a trip to the Whistler Day Spa. Massage therapists will work out painful knots and ease any tension built up in your body. Estheticians will care for your windblown skin with a healing, moisturizing facial. You can even treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure so your feet and hands sparkle.
- Barefoot Bistro: When it's chilly outside, there's nothing more comforting than a warm, delicious home-cooked meal. You'll find just that at Barefoot Bistro, a French bistro-style champagne bar and restaurant. Sip some some Dom Perignon (served by the glass) and dine on exceptional French cuisine. On most weekends, you can enjoy live jazz music.
Warm Weather Activities
- Amsterdam Cafe and Pub: When the weather is warm, you can spend a wonderful evening dining on the charming outdoor patio of the Amsterdam Cafe and Pub. Dine on traditional pub fare like shepherd's pie, burgers, pasta and more as you check out the local scenery.
- Hit the beach: In the summer months, spending time at the beach is a must, and Whistler provides a variety of options where you can soak up the sun and splash around in the water. Lakeside Park is great for families, with a kid's play area, picnic tables and a barbecue. Swim in the warm waters or rent a canoe, boat or windsurf for an adventure. Rainbow Park is another terrific option, with sandy shores, volleyball courts and a large dock floating offshore for swimmers to hang out.
- Wedge Rafting: Thrill seekers will love the experience of river rafting with Wedge Rafting. White water tours are offered between based on a range of difficulty from class 1 to class 4 rapids. A professional guide will take you down Whistler's rivers as you navigate the rapids.
- Whistler Museum: Escape the heat with a trip to the the Whistler Museum, where you can learn about the area's natural history and mountain life. There are a variety of exhibits that anyone, no matter their age, can enjoy. You can also be led by a guide with a Valley of Dreams walking tour or check out the multimedia presentations.
- Whistler Brewing Company: Take a tour of the Whistler Brewing Company and see how the craft beers are made. A tour guide will show you around and you can sample different brews.

Good to Know...I Think
8:03 PM | Posted by Lorenda | | Edit Post
Here's a picture of the Sony Center light in Koramangala, Bangalore. We visit here a lot, because there are many "western attractions" such as Taco Bell, KFC, and a grocery store that stocks a large number of imports. (Fruity Pebbles anyone?) Billboards abound, but I'd like to draw your attention to one in particular.
Pardon my iPhone's quality, but as you can see this sign is listed accident specifics for 2008-2010. Is it just me, or are these numbers really high? 33 DEATHs on the road in 2008 - crazy. Now you know why I'm not a fan of crossing the street here in Bangalore.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases recommend a series of immunizations to protect your children against vaccine-preventable diseases.
It is recommended that your child receive the following immunizations by 2 years of age to protect him/her from these diseases. A typical schedule includes doctor's visits at age 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, between 15 and 18 months and 24 months (6 visits by 2 years of age).
You should take your child's shot record EVERY time you visit your medical provider
View the Childhood Immunization Schedule (birth through 6 years) This schedule is recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
Shots are required by law for children in attendance at public and private schools, preschools, childcare facilities, and Head Start programs in Oregon. Nearly every place that provides care for a child outside the home requires shots or a medical or nonmedical exemption to stay enrolled. Oregon colleges and universities also have immunization requirements for students.
Learn more about school immunization requirements.
The Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) supplies federally purchased free vaccines for immunizing eligible children in public and private practices. Approximately 60 percent of U.S. children may be expected to benefit from the VFC Program. Patients through age 18 are eligible if they are:

There is a big debate in the fitness community about training to the point of failure.
There are some benefits to this type of training as it creates a micro-trauma and leads to different adaptations:
It has been known for a while that training to the point of mascular failure will always result in some hypertrophy (muscle growth). A remarkable research was made back at 2007 – it can be found here
A new research from June, also shows that training to momentary failure can produce cardiovascular adoptions that lead to better cardiovascular fitness. This new research can be viewed here.
However, there are a few big no-no's that you need to understand:
a. Training to failure has a gigantic impact on your nervous system and it is an easy way to over-train.
b. Training to failure will actually make you weaker.
This is just one small part that we will cover in more depth in the new upcoming release of our size vs strength book to help you get big and ripped faster than ever with full control. This book will take today's most complicated science and present it in ways you can apply and understand easily, like never before. Expect the new edition to be released this October.

Workers' compensation claim acceptance or denial
The insurer said my claim is deferred. What does "deferred" mean?
The insurer has 60
days from the day you filed the Form 801 with your employer to accept or deny
your claim. Until the insurer accepts or denies the claim, the claim is
considered deferred. During this deferral period, you may be eligible for
interim time-loss benefits, but medical bills and out-of-pocket expenses will
not be paid unless the claim is later accepted.
How will I know if the insurer has accepted or denied
my claim?
The insurer has
60 days from the day you filed the Form 801 with your employer to issue a
timely acceptance or denial of your claim. If your claim
is accepted, the insurer will send you a "Notice of Acceptance." The notice
will list the accepted medical conditions. If your claim
is denied, the insurer will send you a letter of denial and tell you about your
appeal rights in the denial letter.
What if I disagree with the insurer's decision to
deny my claim?
If your claim
is denied, the insurer will tell you about your appeal rights in the denial
letter it sends to you. We encourage
legal representation when appealing a denial. See Need an attorney.
What if the insurer omits a medical condition from
the "Notice of Acceptance" or I believe a new medical condition should be
If you believe
that a condition has been left off the notice, the notice is otherwise
incomplete or incorrect, or you believe a new medical condition should be
included, you must notify the
insurer in writing. The insurer has 60 days from the receipt of your written
request to accept or deny the new or omitted medical condition.

We accept the love we think we deserve.
A little about me: I'm the guy who regularly gets the call from his older sister asking for relationship advice or answers to her trivia questions; I would be her "Lifeline" should she ever get on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". When I was a kid, I astutely noted that my younger twin brothers were inadvertently named after "Sesame St." characters, a fact that haunts them to this day. I prefer to drive a stick shift, and my parallel-parking skills are second to no one's. I live to eat; I appreciate food in all its forms, but I much prefer street food over haute cuisine. I actually look forward to reading a well-written interesting Match profile, one that isn't loaded with cliches. I'm very happy and comfortable traveling alone. On more than one occasion, I've booked a last-minute flight to New Orleans to take in a night of music and mischief (one of the perks of living in Atlanta). I was once an extra on an episode of "Treme". I'm often accused of being too quiet, but with the right person, I can spend hours conversing. I see myself as a secure, down-to-earth, stand-up guy. I march to the beat of my own drum and avoid sweating the small stuff. A personality quiz I took was eerily spot-on: "You love to chill and party with your friends, and most consider you the epitome of 'cool' because of your rebellious nature and sense of adventure for life. You're trendy in style and have strong opinions about religion and politics. You are against 'the man' and the injustices of the world and tend to have a guard up with people you don't know very well. But you save your deepest emotions and romantic side for that special someone. You have a lot of inner convictions and beliefs, but definitely come across as extremely easy-going and flexible. You are actually a good mixture of the two, but once in a while you let your laziness get the best of you. You're all about having a cause and having even more of a great time...sometimes TOO great of a time ;)." (I'm an INTJ/P, for what it's worth). The following traits in a woman will catch my eye and pique my curiosity: Genuine, forthright, grounded, tall, brunette, legs, not surgically enhanced, sharp wit, irreverent, empathetic, reasonable, responsible, positive attitude, open-minded, gregarious, independent thinker, a city dweller, adventurous, epicurean, omnivorous, not counting calories, multi-cultural, multi-lingual, well-traveled, not makeup-dependent, a good conversationalist who can comfortably share silence, an infectious and irresistible laugh, open to debate, capable of using "your" and "you're" (and "yore") correctly (bonus if you know how to use "compliment/complement"), never says "never", able to properly handle a fork and knife, cheering for a football team on fall Saturdays (except Ohio) and/or Sundays. If you're not too prude to handle an occasional Saturday night of dancing at the Clermont and/or Noni's, maybe we were meant to be. If you're interested, I'm confident you'll figure out how to get a hold of me (is that a wink or did some grapefruit juice squirt into your eye?).

Frequently Asked Questions about Penn College's Transition to the Federal Direct Loan Program
What are the differences between the Direct Loan Program and the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program?
The most important difference between the Direct Loan and FFEL programs is the source of loan funding. Direct loans are funded through the U.S. Department of Education using funds obtained from the U.S. Treasury. This program offers students one point of contact because the loans are made, backed, and serviced by the U.S. Department of Education. With the FFELP, funds come from banks and other lending institutions, which creates multiple points of contact for borrowers. There are also differences in interest rates, fees, and repayment options, which make the Direct Loan Program more beneficial for borrowers.
Do I have to complete another Master Promissory Note?
Yes. You must sign a new Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) because you will be borrowing from a new lender, the U.S. Department of Education. You will need to have your Federal PIN that was used to complete your FAFSA in order to electronically sign this MPN.
How and when do I complete a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN)?
Please refer to our Loans page for information on how and when to complete your MPN.
Will the annual loan limits remain the same?
Yes, the annual loan limits in the Direct Loan program are the same as with FFEL. Please refer to the chart on our Loans page that illustrates the regulated amounts.
How do the interest rates and fees charged in Direct Loan compare to FFEL?
The chart below compares 2010-11 interest rates and fees for both programs.
|Federal Direct Loan Program
|Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loan
|Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loan
|Federal Direct PLUS Loan
|Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program
|Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
|0.5 to 1.5%
|Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
|0.5 to 1.5%
|Federal PLUS Loan
|3.0 to 4.0%
* Direct Loan Fee Rebate: Both subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans have a 1.0% origination fee. However, because of a 0.5% rebate, the net origination fee deducted from each loan disbursement is reduced to 0.5%. To retain this rebate, your first 12 monthly payments (once you begin repayment) must be made on time. Otherwise, a charge for the initial rebate will be added to your outstanding loan principal. Fees for the FFEL Program vary from lender to lender.
The Federal Direct PLUS Loan has a 4% origination fee and also offers a 1.5% rebate on the origination fee - resulting in a net fee of 2.5%, which will be deducted from the gross amount of the loan borrowed. The 12 on-time payment rule also applies to the PLUS loan in order to keep the rebate. Fees for the FFEL Program vary from lender to lender.
Do I have the option to stay with my current lender?
No. When Penn College made the decision to participate in the Federal Direct Loan program, our systems and agreement with the U.S. Department of Education were switched over to process Federal Direct Loans only.
If I have both the Federal Stafford and Direct Loans, will I have to make two payments when I enter repayment?
Yes, you would have two payments, just as you would if you borrowed a FFEL Program Stafford Loan from two different lenders. After graduation you have a choice to make separate payments to your previous lender(s) and to the U.S. Department of Education for your Direct Loans, or you can consolidate your loans into one payment with the U.S. Department of Education. For more information regarding Loan Consolidation please visit the U.S. Department of Education's Direct Loan Consolidation website.
How can I learn who services my federal loans?
Information regarding your federal loan debt can be accessed via the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Note that any private alternative loans you have borrowed will not appear in the NSLDS.
Who can I talk to if I have questions or problems with my Direct Loan?
Your first contact would be Penn College's Financial Aid Office. We are here to help you with any concerns you may have. Once you go into repayment, most of your communication will be with the loan servicing company assigned to your loan by the U.S. Department of Education. You can track your loans via the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).

Donald Clarence "Don" Simpson (October 29, 1943 – January 19, 1996) was an American film producer, screenwriter, and actor. Simpson, along with his producing partner Jerry Bruckheimer, produced such hit films as Flashdance (1983), Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Top Gun (1986), and The Rock (1996). Their films would go on to earn $3 billion worldwide.[1]
Early life[edit]
Simpson was born in Seattle, Washington, the son of June Hazel (Clark), a housewife, and Russell J. Simpson, a mechanic at Boeing at the time of his birth[2] He grew. up in Anchorage, Alaska. He attended West Anchorage High School, and went on to attend the University of Oregon. After graduation, he moved to San Francisco where he worked for a theatrical advertising agency and did public relations for the First International Erotic Film Festival.[3]
In the early 1970s, Simpson moved to Los Angeles and got a job marketing exploitation films for Warner Bros. In 1973, Simpson got a job at Paramount Pictures. While there, he co-wrote the 1976 film Cannonball, in which he also had a small role. By 1981, he was named president of production at Paramount.[3]
Simpson left Paramount in 1982 and forged a partnership with fellow producer Jerry Bruckheimer.[4] The two would go on to produce some of the most financially successful films of the 1980s: Flashdance (1983), Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Top Gun (1986) and Beverly Hills Cop II (1987). In 1985 and again in 1988, he and his producing partner, Jerry Bruckheimer, were named Producers of the Year by the National Association of Theatre Owners.
In 1990, Simpson and Bruckheimer signed a five-year deal with Paramount worth a reported $300 million. However, the duo's last film for Paramount, 1990's Days of Thunder, received mixed reviews and while it was successful, grossing $158 million over a $60 million budget, the box office performance wasn't what the duo was expecting. Simpson and Bruckheimer blamed Paramount for the film's performance stating that Paramount rushed the planning and release of the film, while Paramount blamed the film's performance on Simpson and Bruckheimer's overspending. The duo mutually parted with Paramount shortly thereafter.[5][6] Simpson had a small cameo in the film playing the character Aldo Bennedetti who was patterned after Mario Andretti (though using Mario's twin brother Aldo Andretti's first name). Thunder was a film starring Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, Randy Quaid and Cary Elwes and was the story of a fictional team running in NASCAR's Winston Cup series.
In 1991, the two signed with Disney. Their first film for Disney, The Ref (1994), was a financial flop. Their following films, Dangerous Minds, Crimson Tide, and Bad Boys, all released in 1995, brought the pair back to success.[5]
Drug use[edit]
As Simpson and Bruckheimer's success grew, so did Simpson's reputation for being a brash "party animal". He had been taking cocaine since the 1980s but his usage increased over the years. His excessive spending (in both films and his personal life) and erratic moods caused by his drug use were well known within the Hollywood industry by the 1990s. According to screenwriter James Toback, both David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg had attempted to get Simpson to go to rehab for his drug use.[5]
Simpson refused to admit himself into a traditional rehab facility and instead employed Dr. Stephen Ammerman, a doctor from Pacific Palisades who had a history of drug abuse. Ammerman believed that in order for Simpson to quit drugs, he had to use other drugs to combat the effects of painful withdrawal symptoms. Ammerman designed a "dangerously unorthodox" detox program, which included the use of several medications (including morphine), for Simpson to do at home to kick his drug habit.[7] On August 15, 1995, Ammerman was found dead in the pool house on Simpson's estate. It was later determined that Ammerman died of an accidental overdose of cocaine, Valium, Venlafaxine and morphine.[8]
Frustrated with Simpson's escalating drug use and declining work, Jerry Bruckheimer terminated their partnership in December 1995. The two agreed to finish work on The Rock, which was already in production.[9] The Rock was released after Simpson's death and is dedicated to his memory.[10]
Personal life[edit]
Simpson was never married nor did he have any children.[3] His personal life has been documented in a number of sources. A chapter in the book You'll Never Make Love in This Town Again (which describes four prostitutes' stories about their sexual encounters with Hollywood celebrities) discusses his preferences for S & M.[11]
On January 19, 1996, Simpson was found dead in his bathroom of his Bel Air, Los Angeles home.[12] His death was initially reported as "natural". An autopsy and toxicology report later determined that Simpson had died of heart failure from combined drug intoxication (cocaine and prescription medications). At the time of his death, there were 21 different drugs in his system including antidepressants, stimulants, sedatives, and tranquilizers. In August 1996, investigative reporter Chuck Philips of The Los Angeles Times revealed that Simpson had been obtaining large quantities of prescription drugs from 15 different doctors and that police found 2,200 prescription pills in his home.[7][13][14]
A 1998 book by journalist Charles Fleming reported that Simpson's prescription drug expenses were over $60,000 a month at the time of his death.[15]

IMAGINE an internet connection so fast it will let you download a whole movie in just 5 seconds, or access TV-quality video servers in real time. That's the promise from a team at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, who have developed a system called Fast TCP. A key feature of Fast TCP is that it could run on the same internet infrastructure we have today.
Steven Low, who led the Caltech team, likens the way the internet works now to driving a car while looking only 10 metres ahead. You slowly increase the car's speed until an obstacle comes into view, but then you have to hit the brakes. "This is OK for driving slowly in a parking lot," says Low. But on the open road you need to be able to look further ahead: "That's what we are doing with Fast TCP."

Cub Scout fishing in Richmond lands quite a monster
Compiled by chron.com | October 5, 2012 | Updated: October 5, 2012 9:24am
A pacu fish.
Photo By .
A pacu, a popular tropical fish sold at pet shops around the country, is shown Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2002 in Atlanta. Pacus can be mistaken for piranha when released into rivers and lakes. Department of Natural Resources officials discourage the release of any alien aquatic plant or animal species that could harm native populations. Their concerns are backed by a state law that prohibits any fish stocking in rivers, streams and lakes, but excludes private ponds.
Photo By Amy Sancetta/.
A Pacu, front left, swims with other fish in its tank at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012. This particular Pacu is one of a number of fish that are still alive and thriving that came to the Zoo in 1985 when the old Cleveland Aquarium closed. This Saturday, the new Greater Cleveland Aquarium, located in the historic renovated Cleveland Powerhouse building, will open its doors to the public.
A Cub Scout fishing in Figure Four Lake in Richmond hooked something Wednesday that was more monster than fish.
Nine-year-old Miles Sherman told KPRC-TV this one had teeth.
His fishing buddy Carson Sholar told KPRC: "I was asking myself, 'What the heck is that thing and what's it doing in this lake?"
It turned out to be a pacu, the mostly vegetarian relative and fellow South American native of the carnivorous piranha.
A fish like this is not native to East Texas; it comes from someone's aquarium, most likely.
Houston Chronicle outdoors writer Shannon Tompkins writes that most of these kinds of fish come into Texas through the aquarium trade and end up in Texas waters when released by owners who tire of the fish or see them outgrow their tanks. That's how TPWD officials figure most invasive, exotic species end up in Texas waters.
Texas law prohibits sale and possession of live piranhas and other dangerous or potentially dangerous fish, but many states do not. Federal law prohibits importation of only a handful of fish: snakeheads, "walking" catfish, silver, big-head and black carp.

US Secretary of State John Kerry and Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh are escorted by military officers at Marka airport to a helicopter bound for Zaatari refugee camp on July 18, 2013 in Amman.(AFP PHOTO/POOL/MANDEL NGAN)
RAMALLAH, Palestine: Palestinian leaders put off a decision Thursday about restarting peace talks with Israel, with most saying Israel must first meet their terms before negotiations can start, a Palestinian official said.
President Mahmoud Abbas had gathered fellow PLO leaders in Ramallah to discuss his meetings with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry this week. Kerry was to return to the United States Friday after consulting with Israelis and Palestinians, the State Department said.
But no decision emerged, one official who attended Thursday's meeting told Reuters, and Abbas formed a committee to present a formal response to Kerry's peace push Friday.
"Most PLO officials who attended the meeting described Kerry's offer as not sufficient for resuming negotiations with Israel," said the official, Qais Abdel-Karim.
The main sticking point seemed to be a Palestinian demand that Israel agree to negotiate on condition that the borders of a future Palestinian state would be based on boundaries drawn before a 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose rightist coalition government includes parties that back Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, says he wants to start peace talks immediately, but without preconditions.
"There is a general tendency among PLO officials to reject resuming negotiations before Israel recognizes the 1967 borders as a base for the peace process and for it to end settlement activity," Abdel-Karim said.
Kerry has given no details on where he believes the sides might give ground, though he said after meeting Abbas in Jordan Wednesday that differences had narrowed "very significantly."
A U.S. State Department official said there were currently no plans to announce a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian talks.
Making his sixth visit to the region since March, Kerry has not spelled out his proposals. But his efforts won the endorsement of the Arab League, which said they "provide the ground and a suitable environment to start negotiations."
Kerry has highlighted a 2002 offer made by the 22-nation league to make peace with Israel in return for a Palestinian state broadly inside borders that existed before Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem in 1967.
An Israeli official, briefing anonymously, said Israel had agreed to a new wording on future border negotiations. However, a Netanyahu spokesman denied there had been any change in Israel's position.
The Arab League confirmed this week that it was willing to consider swapping some land on either side of the 1967 borders, bringing it closer to Israel's position. Israel says the old borders are indefensible and that some West Bank settlement blocs should be incorporated into Israel.
Abbas, whose peace strategy is opposed by the Islamist group Hamas that rules the Gaza Strip, has sought Arab League support in the past to engage Israel. It was not clear whether Wednesday's endorsement would give him enough political cover to resume direct talks.
Hamas's leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, called Kerry's efforts "a waste of time."
Abbas had convened senior members of the umbrella Palestine Liberation Organization and his Fatah party in Ramallah, hub of the Israeli-occupied West Bank and seat of his U.S.-backed self-rule administration.
Before Thursday's meeting, Palestinian officials seemed pessimistic. They appeared to allude to reports that Kerry's formula lacked any mention of stopping settlement construction but might include a reference to Palestinian recognition of Israel as a Jewish state – something they never have accepted.Negotiations, which have ebbed and flowed for decades, last broke down in late 2010, after a partial settlement halt ended and Netanyahu refused to extend it.
Palestinians familiar with Abbas' thinking speculated he might now forgo the call for a moratorium given a recent slowdown in housing starts issued by Israel's government, though it may still be painful to roll back his previous demand.
If Abbas yields on the issue, it may be in exchange for a goodwill gesture from Israel such as an amnesty for around 100 veteran PLO fighters long held in its jails.
Israel gave no sign such prisoner releases were in the offing, but major Israeli broadcaster Army Radio said some West Bank roadblocks could be dismantled to ease Palestinian travel.
Shimon Peres, Israel's dovish president, was optimistic about Kerry's mission: "The latest news I have is that the secretary really made real progress and the chances for an understanding heightened. And this day, tomorrow and another day are very crucial. It's touch and go."
Israel has long insisted it would keep swathes of West Bank settlements under any eventual peace accord. Most world powers deem the settlements illegal and the European Union announced a plan Tuesday to bar financial assistance to Israeli organizations operating in the occupied territories.

On the eve of his 60th birthday, Robert Miller (Richard Gere) appears to be the very portrait of success in American business and family life. But behind the gilded walls of his mansion, Miller is in over his head, desperately trying to complete the sale of his trading empire to a major bank before the depths of his fraud are revealed. Struggling to conceal his duplicity from loyal wife Ellen (Susan Sarandon) and brilliant daughter and heir-apparent Brooke (Brit Marling), Miller is also balancing an affair with French art-dealer Julie Côte (Laetitia Casta). Just as he's about to unload his troubled empire, an unexpected error forces him to juggle family, business, and crime with the aid of Jimmy Grant (Nate Parker), a face from Miller's past. One wrong turn ignites the suspicions of NYPD Detective Michael Bryer (Tim Roth), who will stop at nothing in his pursuits. Running on borrowed time, Miller is forced to confront the limits of his own moral duplicity.
"A real thriller, Richard Gere has never been more intensely alive." – Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
"First rate… an Oscar-caliber Richard Gere firing on all cylinders." – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
GFF Videos
Tabou Caddis, Holsinger's Fly Shop
Here is a slightly different way to tie the Tabou Caddis than the standard pattern. I tie it slightly different in that I leave out the ribbing and use some extra chickabou feathers to get the look that I desired. That's the great thing about fly tying you may not always have the "standard" materials or know all the techniques but that doesn't mean the fish will like it any less. Hope you enjoy it and you can get the Soft Hackle Chickabou capes to tie this fly on our website @ http://holsingersflyshop.com. And as always please like us on facebook and subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Not something you see every day
3 Attachment(s)
I was out in the bush again today and came across this beautiful 3' (900mm) long lace monitor, simply stunning, I would have liked a cuddle but the monitor didnt...:D and scampered further up the tree.
Re: Not something you see every day
Amazing! Quite a unique shaped head that is :)
Will it eat fire ants? If yes, send a boat load to Texas, USA ;)
Re: Not something you see every day
They suck up ants as part of their job....:D
Re: Not something you see every day
These fire ants are ants from hell. They bite with one end while stinging with the other end. The sting feels like fire, hence the name fire ant. You get a pustule with every bite. They kill everything that lives or grows on the ground.
While I was thinking of importing one of your anteaters, I remembered reports of the importation of rabbits to Australia and toads to some Pacific islands where they flourished and displaced native animals....Nevertheless, we have begun ti import a little fly which inserts its egg into a crack in the armour of the fire ant and ultimately kills it. I hope it works. :)
P.S. Fire ants would swarm that ant eater and kill it with ten thousand bites, then use it for food.
Re: Not something you see every day
dont worry lburou there here as well (some idiot didnt clean a shipping container properly)
Re: Not something you see every day
Re: Not something you see every day

Re: Not something you see every day
When it rains, they float down the river in balls of ants. Some live and some die, but they spread in ways that are surprising. :-/

Am I Guilty of a Hit and Run?
Jurisdiction / State: Virginia
I was pulling into a parking space yesterday and I hit the left rear fender of a parked, unattended vehicle. I got scared and left the parking lot. Later I called the police to report the accident. The police officer said that the report had been labeled as a hit and run because they found no notifying information at the scene but since I called in to do the right thing that he wasn't going to charge me with hit and run. I got the info of the lady that I hit and contacted her and exchanged insurance information. Insurance is taking care of the damages. Should I be worried about the police going back and charging me with hit and run or because I called and reported the crime within 24 hours of it taking place, does this mean that it should not be considered as a hit and run? I need some advice as I am scared that I will be arrested and sent to jail. This is my first EVER time getting in trouble with the law in any way.

Likely, as long as you pay for the repairs, the police won't pursue it, since it was on private property.

Yes, you left the scene without contacting the owner or leaving your contact information- the moment you left it became hit and run.
With the circumstances you describe it seems the officer simply facilitated the exchange of information and will not submit a hit and run offense.
Understand that it is not because you called within 24 hours. The officer, at his discretion, cut you a break.

Temat: Converting APPro54G / APPro54G Client to APPro2405With our latest upgrade, we unified firmware of APPro2405, APPro54G, and APPro 54G Client versions intended for devices with 2MB Flash / 16MB RAM. We encourage all users of APPro 54G and APPro 54G Client to try the latest generation of APPro firmware.
Note: This operation is performed only once and cannot be reverted. Due to massive amount of introduced changes, we cannot guarantee accuracy of configuration conversion process.
You can perform a conversion regardless of used license format (hardware module / license file) or type (client / full license).
Conversion procedure depends on device type, and consists of two stages:
Stage One:
in case of devices:
* AirLive 5470AP;
* D-Link DAP-1160;
* Minitar MNWAPG-2;
* Techniclan WAR-54GS
it is required to re-install software as described on this page. All licensing data will be retained.
in case of devices:
* AirLive 5460AP;
* Edimax EW-7209APg;
* Planet WAP-4035, WRT-414;
* Planex GW-AP54SP;
it is possible to install new firmware via Web interface - exactly the same way as in case of a standard upgrade.
Upgrade procedure:
* download intermediate firmware
* decompress file and upload it to the AP
* after restart AP should be available with new firmware and correct licensing data
Stage Two:
After installing new firmware you should review AP's configuration, correct settings when needed, and at least once save settings by clicking on OK button. After confirming the configuration, you need to download latest version of APPro2405 from download page.
With the conversion completed, further upgrades will use firmware files in a new format - the same for all APPro2405 / APPro54G or APPro54G Client devices. Our firmware is available in two variants: one is based on the latest WLAN driver (standard version), and one based on WLAN driver 1.08 (requested by small group of customers). For optimum operation we recommend version with the latest WLAN driver.
Files with APPro firmware are named in following fashion:
* dd-mm-yyyy - release date
* xxx - number of compilation
* zzz - WLAN driver version
We did our best to preserve configuration compatibility with older versions of APPro54/APPro54G Client, but the massive amount of changes made it impossible to guarantee complete compatibility. For that reason, we recommend installation method that will ensure complete control over the device, and the ability to reset the device or reinstall the firmware using TFTP protocol. Due to possible incompatibilities and a risk of damaging the device with an incorrectly performed conversion, we protected intermediate firmware with a password "approsoftware". If you are commited to install this firmware, by typing the password you confirm that you accept the risk and relieve us from any liability for resulting problems.
In case of trouble:
* reset the device by depressing Reset button for 3 seconds; release Reset button when Status/Power/CPU LED blinks
* upload firmware via TFTP protocol, as described here.Źródło: approsoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2975

Hi, I recently bought a 52 plate Mondeo Estate tdci automatic ghia x. It is a beautifull condition car with only 78,000 miles on the clock. But every now and then (prob once a fortnight), whilst driving it will sudenly start to accelerate on its own getting slowly higher untill you have to pull over and turn the ignition off. It is just about tollerable when driving on small roads but it has happened recently on the motorway and i had to pull over on the hard shoulder and kill the ignition. It has got to a point where it is now just damned dangerous! I would really like to repair this fault with my local mechanic rather than taking it to my local ford dealer. If anyone has had any similar problems with the same model mondeo as i have then any tips would be most appreciated. Thanks.
