Officials with Minnesota's new online health insurance marketplace say that some registration problems have been fixed, but a new one has emerged. The new MNsure glitch is apparently affecting fewer people, however, and appears to be intermittent, but it is preventing account registrations that are required before people can buy health insurance. Officials say that anyone having that problem should wait a couple hours and try again. Despite the latest glitch, Minnesota's health insurance website continues to draw interest. The site drew 4,300 unique visitors on Monday. Nearly 6,000 people have created MNsure accounts since the site went live last week and started offering health insurance as a state exchange – a key part of President Barack Obama's health care reform law.

Without music, life would be a mistake." – Friedrich Nietzsche
When we first meet, if you sense a hard working, driven, purposeful, creative, insightful and engaging individual, please do not abandon that initial conclusion. By all appearances, you could accuse me of being a perfectionist, and to that end I would agree (must be the Virgo in me!). However, I have a heart of compassion and am also known as one for whom kindness is an instinct. I am confident and self-assured, yet refuse to embrace ego and arrogance in the process. Yes, I will speak my mind and enjoy the results but I will also maintain an open heart towards the sensitivities of others. I remain firm in my convictions and beliefs and will never waver when it comes to standing up for that in which I believe, even if I stand alone. I would pair well with an equally tenacious and purposeful woman. I live fearlessly and am more than willing to color outside the lines and follow the road less traveled as needed. My biggest passion and focus is my music. I play the lead guitar in a well-known old school punk rock band. I play shows once each week, so a woman who does not mind the club/bar environment would fit right in. She doesn't have to participate, but I do value a supportive partner. After all, I would wholeheartedly be her biggest fan and loudest cheerleader when it comes to the passions of her heart. While physical attraction is definitely desirable in a partner, I also seek that indefinable depth and substance within. Driven and ambitious in her own right, she knows who she is and what she wants out of life and is unafraid to pursue that end. She expects a lot of herself while graciously giving of herself to those around her. Genuine and down-to-earth, she prefers to go with the steady flow of things in life as opposed to paddling like mad against them. She can easily transition from one social setting to another and believes that the best love is the one person who makes you a better person without changing you into someone other than yourself. In short, she understands that it is vital to the health of the relationship to simply allow each of us the freedom to be ourselves.

My travel diary is still rather slim. I have traveled much of the US with various bands but still need to explore the East Coast. I would love to make my passport my favorite book and explore the world one day. Pack your bags and let's roll!
I have a fairly adventurous appetite and love to try new foods, especially lobster. I do favor Korean cuisines, American food and sushi. Of course, a good steak on occasion is always a great thing! Love music, especially rock and roll.
A guitar enthusiast, I play lead guitar for a well-known old school punk rock band and have been involved in the local music scene for quite some time and will continue to pursue this ambition. I also enjoy meeting new people. Hello!
I confess! I have not been much of a book reader lately.

HOPKINS COUNTY, KY (12/17/11)—On December 16th, members of the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 2, as well as other emergency responders, traveled to the scene of a Hopkins County traffic collision that resulted in injuries.
Occurring at approximately 6pm, the accident involved Roger Kirkwood, 63, of Madisonville, KY and both Phillip K. Duncan, 58, and Marla K. Duncan, 59, of Slaughters, KY.
As KSP Post 2 Troopers report, both Mr. and Mrs. Duncan were stopped at a red light on US-41 at the intersection KY-260 facing southbound when the incident occurred. While the couple was waiting for the light to change, Mr. Kirkwood, who was operating a 1998 Chevrolet pickup, failed to stop at the intersection and rear-ended Mr. Duncan's vehicle.
Though all parties involved were wearing seatbelts at the time of the collision, both Mr. and Mrs. Duncan were transported to the Regional Medical Center for treatment of their injuries. While Mr. Kirkwood was offered medical assistance at the scene, he ultimately refused.
KSP Troopers Jonathan Carlock and Carlo Anderson were assisted at the scene by the Hanson Fire Department and Hopkins County Ambulance Services.

Experts say the Coronation Carpet was probably woven in the royal Persian city of Isfahan 300 years ago, and it later sat under the throne upon which Edward VII was crowned at Westminster Cathedral in 1902. It was loaned for the coronation of George V in 1911 and then the marriage of Princess Mary in 1922.
Mr Hepburn bought the carpet in 1938 and it went to Glasgow Cathedral in 1971 when he died aged 80.
He was joint founder with the late Herbert Ross of the firm of whisky blenders whose Red Hackle product is now marketed throughout the world.
Glasgow University Library received more than 300 volumes in the Hepburn Bequest. In 1964 he was given an honorary doctorate for his "abundant generosity" to the university.
Hepburn House in University Gardens was also gifted and is now home to the Department of Scottish Literature.

This is the active component of plants belonging to the genus Capsicum, one of the most recognizable would be the chili peppers.
This compound is an irritant to mammals (including us) producing a burning sensation in tissues it comes in contact with.
There are 6 known forms of Capsaicinoids the most common of which is Capsaicin.
They have been used for years to give "heat" (piquancy) to the flavor of food.
It has been used topically for numbing pain and personally I've used it in soups along with onion & garlic when I have a sore throat to soothe that!
In addition to the clear cut pain numbing effects of this compound, it might have benefits to fat burning.
Although, studies have shown no direct correlation between weight loss and capsaicin, but there was an inverse correlation between intake of capsaicin and weight regain (i.e. more capsaicin, less weight regain).
Capsaicin has been shown to shift substrate oxidation from carbohydrate to fat oxidation, similar to what a low carbohydrate diet would do after the two week adaptation period. This results in a decrease in appetite and subsequent decrease in food intake.Additionally, there is an increase in thermogenesis, increase in body temperature ("heat"), post consupmtion this has not been associated with weight loss. Increases in satiety also result from oral & gastrointestinal exposure to capsaicin. It has more recently been suggested that ingestion of capsaicinoids increases the level of brown adipose tissue (great for fat burning) through increases in energy expenditure and oxidation.
Therefore, incorporate as much capsaicinoids into your diet regularly for optimal fat burning benefits.
Dietary sources Spicy peppers (Cayenne, Habanero, Jalapeno, etc...) - fresh or the spices created from these.
Red Bell Peppers

It's A because each panel below is a simplified version of the panel above. (On the left it simplifies it by essentially removing portions of each line while keeping the general orientation intact, on the right it simplifies it by moving lines away so there's not as much overlap.)
It's B because each panel has the same number of lines as the panel in the opposite corner (polygons count as a single line).
It's C because every panel has to have a different number of curved lines.
It's D (none of the above) because every panel must have an odd number of points where lines intersect.
Would the nature of puzzles 1-16 be of any help in figuring out what they're trying to get at?

Just a personal preference - arguments can be made for each. A. Eliminate C for its closed curve.
Eliminate B for its triangle.
Eliminate C for its closed curve.

As I pointed out above, you can make arguments for any answer, and this seems to be a case where the question's author is expecting you to look for some particular aspect about the figures with no reasonable clues (as far as I can tell) as to which one of the many possible aspects they're focusing on. Maybe there are clues that we haven't been given that should point toward that answer, such as a pattern of answers to previous questions, or some clue hidden in instructions we aren't seeing, or something along those lines. Or maybe this is more of a psychological test where they take a set of people who are considered smart and ask them what they consider the "best" answer to be (knowing full well that there isn't really any "correct" answer) and see what they come up with.
At any rate, at the risk of sounding arrogant, unless there are other clues that are supposed to come into play, I would just consider this to be a lousy question that has little if anything to do with logic and move on.

The right answer is C, but I dont understand why.
Julia, I think we're all with you on that point.
It's hard to find a defining aspect that C uniquely has in common with the first three.

The point is that a tweaked OpenGL driver can directly run HLSL bytecode, or at least be fast during emulation. You must now that we don't lose mach when we transform HLSL bytecode to GLSL (that's on the CPU). Even if a game does that many times we can always do it statically (if the GPU company wants), producing 1-2gb file inside a home folder. The problem is that after the translation, the outcome GLSL bytecode isn't that good as when it is created from an OpenGL game. They mast tweak their OpenGL drivers for this job.
As for the other thing, have you even seen a shader source before? Shaders are written in a C like dialect but with limitations and distorted systems and algorithms. Distorted= When with C you have "TALE" for example (when a digit goes from the front and another comes from the back), "Distorted TALE" can be a digit goes from the front and two comes from the back. That's why a C compiler can't compile shaders and a shader compiler can't compile C programs. Also a GPU can't run C programs (except some fusion) and a CPU can't run shaders (those software rasterizers are shader emulators at the same time). The end thing is that a graphics are really much more efficient when they ASIC_ed, thats because today's games have many different things to calculate. ASICs are good only for one algorithm (like face identification), compute shaders with OpenCL (if/else type) are good. The situation we are now exists for other reasons.

Okay, so I just wanted to put something out there that maybe somebody else can relate to. Nobody lets you know that when you leave high school, that huge depression sets in. That your whole life feels like a twister. I'm so afraid, because I really do want so much out of life. I want to help other people, but I need to work at least two years before I can go to college. My family is broke right now and I get that. I can't help but worry though. In some ways I'm glad to try and work first, but in another, I want to be a social worker, and that's better while your young. And I know, two years is nothing, but I'm going to have to eventually move out, pay all my own bills, etc. And I want a family. I really want to be with my boyfriend forever. I mean, who doesn't want to be with the one they love forever? I know he wants to act though...or rather do anything involving film.
He wants to dive right into it, which I understand. I don't want to hold him back, but I'm so afraid, because I'll be just starting college when he gets out of high school (if I even get to start it that soon). He's two years youngers, so I know thins are going to be hard, but I'm willing to rough it out. I have to admit I worry though. He's my only real stability right now. I guess I just want to know I'm not alone. That I have more than him, because even though I know he's there, I don't want to dump all my problems on him for the next 6 years.

TEHRAN: An accidental blast killed five special effects crew of an Iranian film when real-life explosives detonated as they were being delivered to the set Wednesday, media reported.
Two other crew were hurt in the explosion, in a car transporting the material to the set, some 30 kilometres (18 miles) southwest of Tehran, the ISNA news agency reported.
The Mehr news agency said the explosives were TNT.
A member of the movie industry's special effects union, Abbas Shoghi, criticised authorities for banning the import of specialised material.
"We are forced to use real-life explosives for a movie shoot because security authorities do not allow the import of props that are used in movies," Shoghi told ISNA.
The movie, called "Merajiha" ("Ascensionists"), is a war film built around a story of soldiers going to heaven after they are killed. It is being directed by Masoud Dehnamaki, known for his controversial "Outcasts" trilogy.

Ms Duff, best known for her role in Taggart, won the best female performance prize at the Critics Awards for Theatre in Scotland (Cats) yesterday for one-act monologue Ciara.
The production of Crime and Punishment won four awards, with director Dominic Hill winning his fourth Cats award.
Ms Duff won the same award last year, for her interpretation of convicted husband-killer Fay Black in Iron. In Ciara she played the daughter of a recently deceased gangster in a play written by David Harrower, which also won the Best New Play award.
Crime and Punishment - a Citizens Theatre, Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse, and Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, co-production - was described by judges as a "consummate piece of theatre," and won four awards including Best Production.
Adam Best was named Best Actor for his "epic performance" as Raskolnikov, and the "dazzling achievement" of the 10-strong cast earned them the Best Ensemble award.
The Imaginate Festival, which has made theatre for young people for 25 years, was presented with the Cats Whiskers award.

Q. My 11 yr old schnauzer & I moved from Kansas to Colorado. We live in the mountains, 8900 ft. altitude, & in the last three weeks he has started sneezing & nose running which he has never done. Can I give him an adult allergy pill to help dry this up or what would you recommend? He weighs about 18-20 lbs. What is your suggestion? Thank you.

Q. Hi PetRelocation,
I need to fly my dog to Maine but I can't afford to spend $600 or more on the "IATA #82" reinforced crate plus the flight cost. Is there a place I can rent the crate for this one way flight?
I bought a plastic flight crate and have been told by United airlines that I need a reinforced pet crate for the flight. I do not have the funds to buy the crate and the flight ticket. I need some suggestions.
He is not an aggressive dog.

I own Mimic Pro Carrara but in my Product Library it says that I also own Mimic Pro. Are they one and the same thing? I thought I might get the standalone version of Mimic Pro as well in the sale but the DAZ shop says I've already purchased it as part of Mimic Pro Carrara.
At the end of 'Mimic Pro Carrara' in my Product Library it states that, "This product is a bundle that contains the following product…" and shows Mimic Pro. Is this correct?

VIDEO: Angels win on walk-off wild pitch in 10June 28th, 2015, 4:06 pm by MARK CARLISLE
Victory looked all but certain for the Angels. They had the bases loaded with no outs, needing to scratch just one run across to win, and one of the hottest hitters in the game at the plate.
However, Albert Pujols hit into a double play (first video), the Mariners forcing the run out at home and doubling Pujols up at first. Suddenly that winning run was not such a sure thing.
But in another swing of events, that run was all but dropped in their laps when Mariners reliever Tom Wilhelmsen threw a wild pitch, allowing Kole Calhoun to score from third and win the game for the Halos (second video). The Angels have walked off six times this season.
The Angels improve to 39-37 with the victory, moving ahead of the Rangers into second in the American League West. The Angels are still four games back of the Astros.
Rookie reliever Trevor Gott earned his first major-league win in his seventh appearance. Gott pitched a perfect inning in the top of the 10th.Read the rest of this entry »

Procedures used to educate staff on proper use of technology will be reviewed by Johnston school officials after a state board found violations by employees during the 2011 school board election.
The school board agreed at its meeting last week to put the issue in front of the district's policy committee. On Aug. 8, the Iowa Ethics and Campaign Disclosure Board found that several district employees inappropriately used their official email accounts to advocate for candidates during the 2011 election, a violation of state election laws.
In two of the most serious cases, the ethics board ...

It can't help but draw the eye. And paired with a plant, a beautiful swath of ivy or the severe stems of any carnivorous bit of vegetation, it creates a living still life. This spectacular curiosity was created by artist and Beetle & Flor founder, Christine Facella. Starting with a real skunk skull, Facella models a replica out of raw porcelain and finishes the teeth with 14-karat gold luster, creating a piece for those of us seeking the unusual—or those who know that death can be a celebration of life.

San Diego pension official quits over legal issue
The city rescinded that indemnification policy in 2006 but not before racking up $2 million in legal fees to represent six former trustees in two pension-related civil cases. Now those same officials are suing the city for an additional $5 million in attorneys' fees stemming from criminal prosecutions that were eventually dropped. They had faced conflict-of-interest charges for their role in the 2002 deal after prosecutors accused them of sweetening their own pensions with the vote.
In his letter to Sanders, Ellis directed much of his frustration at Goldsmith.
"The city attorney's current political rhetoric and lack of effort on a meaningful solution puts trustees at great personal financial risk now and in the future," he said. "I view this as a strategy on the city attorney's part to undermine the independence and prudent governance of the SDCERS trust fund."
As city attorney, Goldsmith has been involved in several legal tussles with the pension system over various retirement issues. He has accused the board of being overly litigious and taking legal positions that defy the city charter.
"Some trustees have asked the city to go beyond state law and eliminate exceptions built into the state law. That would be a blank check that no other employee receives — not police officers, firefighters, the mayor, City Council or even the governor," Goldsmith said in a statement Thursday. "It would be reckless for the city to do that."
Sanders must now select a replacement for Gonick that will need to be approved by the City Council. A mayoral spokesman was checking on whether Sanders would reappoint Ellis.

Suse 9 problem!! HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

Join Date: Jan 2004

I think I know the problem
I also have Suse 9.0. Ok...You say that X server crashes and Sax2 hangs? I had this problem. My guess is, you installed installed Suse 9.0, then installed the Nvidia driver, THEN ran YOU update afterwards. YOU installed a newer version of your linux kernel (containing security fixes). The new kernel installation corrupted your Nvidia driver install.
Here is the solution that worked for me: Re-install Suse 9.0 from scratch and include the linux kernel source in your installation (not installed by default). Perform YOU update (YOU will update your kernel AND your kernel source). Now, install the Nvidia driver in Linux safemode. The Nvidia installer will tell you it has no interface that matches your current kernel. The Nvidia installer will opt to compile the Nvidia driver for your kernel version using your kernel source files. Next, run Sax2 -m 0=nvidia.
(note: in Sax2, 3D acceleration will appear disabled but as long as your monitor and graphics card are properly selected, you will have 3D acceleration. It should be apparent in your XFREE86Config file.)
Now, if you do an lsmod, you should see something like this:
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
snd-pcm-oss 50976 0 (autoclean)
snd-mixer-oss 16184 1 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
ide-cd 32512 0 (autoclean)

videodev 6432 0 (autoclean)
agpgart 46776 3 (autoclean)

Hope this helps.

We never heard the term "warp core" during TOS. So the term wouldn't apply to the "gizmo" in the TOS engine room.
So... it's okay for TOS to give us a large open area with pipes (or conduits, whatever term you prefer) and tanks and gizmos and machines all of unspecified purpose, but it's NOT okay for STXI to achieve the same result filming in a beer brewery.
And how would a warp core be a "tank" anyway.
The warp cores were inside the large tanks/vats/gizmos in STXI. You know, kinda like the tank (or gizmo or whatever) housed the Dilithium crystals in "Elaan of Troyius"
What coolant pipe? The one Scotty was in? Kirk activated a control board to open the turbine release valve. It's that valve that dumped Scotty out of the water pipe prior to him going through the turbine. Seconds later Chekov reported to Spock " ...unauthorized access to
turbine control board."
Whoops, my bad. The pipe itself was labelled "Inert Reactant"
The pipe Scotty was in was unique among all the ones in engineering, so assuming they all contain water or other liquids...
The still from Final Frontier appears to be a Jeffries tube
I see a corridor, packed entirely with pipes, none of which have any specified functions. I wonder what an open plan version of that section might resemble...
Scotty specifically refers to it as a "tunnel." When did we see any Enterprise corridors with conduits that needed stepping over, or ducked under?
Err... in STV?
In "In a Mirror, Darkly" we saw some similar pipe-filled engineering corridors/tubes/tunnels/whatever on the USS Defiant.
Splitting hairs over "corridor", "tunnel" and "tube" is beside the point. Ditto "tank", "pipe", "conduit", "unspecified gizmo"
It'd still look like STXI's engineering if the section was open-plan (especially if the diagrams on the walls are describing the layout of the pipes!) - or, at the very least, a brewery-like mishmash of pipes (or pipe-like conduit things) and tanks (or machinery of unspecified purpose) is as good an extrapolation as any.

A high school science teacher in Cheektowaga is accusing school officials of censoring her speech by ordering the removal of religious items from her classroom.
Joelle Silver, 29, complained in federal court papers that Cheektowaga Central School District officials threatened to fire her if she didn't take down posters with religious messages, notes with Bible quotes and a "prayer request" box for the school's Bible Study Club.
Silver, who teaches biology and anatomy and has been with the district for seven years, got rid of the material.
She then charged district officials with violating her First Amendment rights and acting hostile because she is Christian, in a complaint filed Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York,
The student also reported to the organization that a guest speaker discussing genetic defects in Silver's anatomy class had used Bible passages in his presentation and that Silver herself had referred to Adam and Eve in a discussion about the human rib cage.
The student also said that Silver told students in the anatomy class that whoever had reported her to the Freedom From Religion Foundation lacked integrity and character and was akin to someone who had cheated on the final exam, Markert wrote in her follow-up letter.

This is pure filmmaking, elegant and slippery. I haven't had as much fun second-guessing a movie since "Mulholland Drive."
Here, the message is the moviemaking and the unparalleled joy you get from a film that can carry you off so completely, making you forget about everything save for the beautiful lies in front of you.
I haven't admired a De Palma film since "Carrie," or even enjoyed one since "Scarface," so it must mean something that Femme Fatale gave me one of the best times at the movies I've had this year.
In his dazzling and luxuriant new thriller Femme Fatale, De Palma turns trash into chic. It's a sexy, violent, glamorous, sinfully funny movie with a surface as hard and brilliant as diamonds.
The story, to the extent that it is comprehensible, is pretentious and banal, closer to "Vanilla Sky" than "Notorious." But Mr. De Palma proves that, in the absence of insight or ideas, some amazing things are possible. It is possible, for instance, to be entranced by a movie without believing it for a second.
If you decide at the outset that this needn't have any recognizable relationship to the world we live in, you might even find it an unadulterated delight.
Much like David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive," which it resembles in more ways than one, Femme Fatale makes a rich bouillabaisse out of De Palma's trademark themes and obsessions, stacking references to the heavens and operating with an internal logic that may take several viewings to fully unpack.
A triumph of style over logic. Although this is not necessarily a good thing, it works spectacularly in this instance.
It's hard to call it thrilling -- these aren't characters you actually care about and De Palma isn't as concerned with building tension as playing visual games -- but it sure sparkles.
An extravagant suspense cocktail of wacky and lascivious ingredients that goes down fine.
It's a pure (guilty) pleasure trip. That's pleasure, De Palma–style -- twisted, dirty, voyeuristic, a vast glissando of amorality.
Sexy, witty, energetic and gorgeous, but it is as stripped of the human element (in some of its production design, as well) as a minimalist Calvin Klein store.
Femme Fatale is glossy, glamorous cinema as collage. Maybe all the pieces of a truly good film noir are here, but the filmmaker has opted simply to toss them into the air and let them fall where they may.
Viewers who like their movies to adhere to some sort of reasonable logic, or to at least make sense, will not be pleased by Femme Fatale. For everyone else, it's playtime.
Fatale is, truthfully, a mess - an absurdly overwritten Eurotrash thriller that beggars an audience's suspension of disbelief. It's also great over-the-top moviemaking if you're in a slap-happy mood.
Even if it's accepted simply as glitter-sprayed trash, sophomorically plotted and incompetently acted, Femme Fatale is a uniquely De Palma kind of effluence, an exercise in auteur self-parody.
Starts with a flourish, staggers along for a bit and finally collapses -- even die-hard De Palma fans, will be left hungry.
Elegant nonsense. For some years, it's been clear that De Palma's work has lost the jolting intellectual energy and wit of his "Carrie" and "Dressed to Kill" days, and in Femme Fatale the Master is just diddling. [25 November 2002, p. 108]
A passionate film buff's valentine to the two directors he loves most: Alfred Hitchcock and Brian De Palma. The film that this worship has inspired is pretty amusing when the director apes Hitchcock, and pretty awful when he apes himself.
May not always make sense, but it's crammed with flamboyant images and frisky cinematic pranks -- It's far from a great movie, but there's nothing like it on the current scene.
A tricksy meta-thriller that, replete with the requisite homage to "Vertigo," sustains its dreamlike glide through a succession of cheesy coincidences and voluptuous cheap effects.
Rebecca Romijn-Stamos is just plain HOT in this film and other than that...we got ourselves a stinker.
"Double Indemnity's" darkly poetic carnality is timeless. Trashy, throwaway fluff like De Palma's film can only look bad by comparison.
De Palma fools around with split screens and slo-mo, but no amount of cinematic artifice can varnish over the fact that this is simply a bad film.
Mainly, Femme Fatale is really about De Palma's three favorite things: women, movies and women. And you can either share his guilty pleasures in all their living, breathing, power-edited, overextended glory, or you can get on with your life.
It tries hard to be sexy, mysterious and dangerous, but ends up laughably inscrutable.
If you look hard, you can make out a story in Femme Fatale, but it has nothing to do with the senseless pileup of jewel thievery, shutterbug voyeurism, and leggy sex bombs so shallow and bad they seem to have come out of a 1978 copy of Hustler magazine.

The Rainbow Warrior in Mumbai waters
Greenpeace India has been working on various issues related to the environment since 2001. Our work in India is focused on four broad campaigns namely, stop climate change, sustainable agriculture, preserving the oceans and preventing another nuclear catastrophe. Over the years Greenpeace India has built a strong base of supporters spread across the country.
Greenpeace is a non-profit organisation, with a presence in 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. To maintain its independence, Greenpeace does not accept donations from governments or corporations but relies on contributions from individual supporters and foundation grants.
Greenpeace exists because the earth and all life on it deserves a clean and safe environment - now and in the future.
As a global organisation, Greenpeace focuses on the most critical worldwide environmental issues such as:-
· Oceans and ancient forests protection;
· Fossil fuel phase out and the promotion of renewable energies to stop climate change;
· Nuclear disarmament and an end to nuclear contamination;
· Elimination of toxic chemicals; and
· Preventing the release of genetically engineered organisms into nature.
Since its earliest days, Greenpeace has been linked to the seas and its ships are incredibly valuable, not only in actions to save the whales and protect the marine environment, but for all campaign work.
Actions often speak louder than words and non-violent direct action is at the heart of Greenpeace campaigns, which have also grown to include lobbying and research over the past years.
Greenpeace activists, alongwith an Orca Whale, paid the Japanese Embassy in Delhi a surprise visit today asking the island nation to respect the ban on whaling and stop the annual massacre of whales under the guise of "scientific" whaling.
Greenpeace activists dressed as penguins take part in the Bangalore Midnight Marathon held in the city on Saturday. Using the platform of the marathon, Greenpeace tried to raise awareness about Global warming and climate change.

Based on 157 Ratings for the 2003 - 2010 models.Review this car
By Nemasis on Tuesday, December 04, 2012
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 80,300overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "Handling, speed, fun to drive"
Cons: "fuel economy."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Very fun to drive. The only problems I have had were due to normal wear and tear (i.e. light bulb burns out, headliner sagging) but nothing major, except for one. Porsche installed plastic coolant pipes on pre 2008 models. So I had to spend over $2000 to replace the plastic pipes with aluminum to avoid a breakdown. There is hope that Porsche will offer a recall/settlement for those who had to expense these outside of the normal warranty. The car is expensive to maintain as far as required services but worth it if you want it to last. The only complaint that I have is that gas mileage is bad. But you're talking about feeding a twin turbo engine. I try to drive conservative as to save fuel. Also, because of the turbos, you will occasionally have to add oil. But this is not bad. As matter of fact, a good Porsche dealer will add oil for you for free. The ride is not the smoothest on this model but I can live with it."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 75,000overall rating 3 of 10rating details
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 4
"This vehicle is by far the least reliable car that I have ever owned. Ever since I purchased it something breaks every 4-6 months. Some things small, navigation screen, some major things, the entire cooling system broke down at about 62,000 miles and cost almost $2,000 to fix. Next tires last only about 20,000 to 25,000 miles no matter which brand you get. Brakes last about as long and each one will set you back $1,000. It's a money pit. Good things, its fast, comfortable, and looks great."

"This is an amazing SUV bar none. I tried the competition and all fall short in performance and handling, perhaps a close second is the newer BMW X5 (it's NOT a PORSCHE). The performance and handling is what separates it from the others...It feels more like a sports car than an SUV. I opted for the Titanium S fully equipped instead of the Turbo since I felt it was overkill. I would have loved the other features not offered on the S but dollar for dollar did not make sense since the extra power would not be utilized regularly in the world of 65 mph freeway speeds...There is enough power to put a smile on your face. Quality and build is typical Porsche, excellent! Overall, I highly recommend this vehicle especially if you want the best of both worlds. There are a items worth noting: It is a gas guzzler! If this is a concern then look elsewhere. Never had any use for the off road capability since it would be a shame to get it muddy and having all those rocks chip the paint. Perhaps, if they lowered the weight a tad it might be environmentally friendlier. I personally wish they made the headrests adjustable. They are uncomfortable on long drives. Lastly, Porsche needs to reposition the side mirror switch elswehere. Unless you have exceptionally long limbs you will not be able to dial in those mirrors on the first try."

"Bought a MY2004 Turbo in 2005. For some reason, the dealer could not sell it. Got $30K off the sticker! After 4 yrs I now have just passed 80K miles and the SUV still drives like it is brand new. The SUV is solid, and not one thing rattles on the highway doing 80MPH. The car is not much more costly to maintain than any other German performance vehicles. Rotor and pad replaced at 60K miles for $1500, Tires every 25K miles for $1000, and oil changes every 10K miles for $150. I've paid more maintaining ex-Benzes. My only complaint is the distance on the remote control for the 2004."

"102,000 miles with my 2004 Cayenne S and not one single issue has arisen that was not driver induced! It is responsive, fast, tight, and feels today just as it did 4.5 years ago at 12 miles. I will own this car until it dies on me or I go first! I wish it got better mileage, and that the tires for it lasted longer, but even those things cannot convince me to trade this car in!"

The 100 Year Retreat
4:05 PM, Apr 7, 2008 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB

Get alerts when there is a new article that might interest you.
Apparently the beating the Obama campaign is taking for this distortion has forced a general retreat. But left out of this clip is Obama's most offensive distortion of McCain's comment. Obama said over the weekend that McCain "wants to continue this war in Iraq maybe for another 100 years."
McCain "now suggests," is bad. McCain "is willing to send our troops into another hundred years of war," is worse. But McCain "wants" to continue the war for another 100 years? No decent person would "want" to continue the war, and Obama makes it sounds as though McCain prefers combat to victory--that if there was an opportunity for peace on favorable terms, McCain would instigate more fighting. It's an attack on McCain's character, and it's an attack based on an outright lie. How wonderful to be rid of the old-style politics...
