Fiscal cliff and the 7500 tax rebate: Will it be on the chopping block?
Fiscal cliff and the 7500 tax rebate: Will it be on the chopping block?
I would assume that if we do reach the fiscal cliff it will be cut but, if you finalize your car now then you may escape the price raise. That is if you have a reservation and are about to finalize your car. With less then 50k electric cars going to be sold in 2012 (and phevs) it would only cost the government 375 million in tax credits. Remember gm is getting about 14 billion in tax breaks in the years to come, that is equal to about 1.86 million electric car tax credits, not to mention the bailout. Since Obama is pro green energy I would expect him to protect it, he's actually going for 10k credit.
I have the same concern. Wish I could pay for the car this year to ensure I qualify but that's not an option. Just hoping it lasts this round as I'm already committed.
While I understand the concern, Obama's mandate for cleaner, greener cars makes me feel this is not something that will be cut or the govt. will have to back off the mandate. I am in for a 2013 credit too but am comitted now so will have to wait and see. The CA 2013 funding has been approved ($2500)...so at least those of us in CA should be good for 2013.
Does anyone know if California is giving a $2500 state credit for 2012 as well as 2013. Has anyone applied for and been approved for the California rebate?
The website
says there are funds left, but I haven't heard of anyone getting a rebate.
I never factored the tax ceedit into my decision to purchase the Model S. In the long run Tesla will have to be viable without it. You might want to consider changing your options if the price is to high without the tax credit. The range in price, depending on battery pack and options can easily be moved by more than the tax credit.
I have been approved for the $2,500 in CA
@brewdr - I bought a Leaf October 6. CA CVRP paperwork filed October 6. $2500 rebate check arrived November 5.
Great news on the CA rebate. Looks like there is 10 million still in the pot. At least 4,000 cars by my calculations. Would theoretically be more, as some cars get less than $2,500. Hope to get my production 85kw performance before it runs out. Thanks for quick response stevenmaifert and BYT.
Does anyone know of a website to "write your congressman/woman" about the necessity to keep the $7500 federal tax credit?
Every representative and senator has a website. Just google it under the name of your own rep.
Thanks DouglasR but I'm really looking for a central location that all PEV proponents could visit and "vote" (can't think of a better word) to show their support for the tax credit. Then the website would magically send emails to all the senators and representatives, not just those from my state.
Is what I'm describing a Facebook page? Surely there is an automated way to email our congresspeople with a link to the page to show how much support there is for this.
Maybe it's a bad idea. What if the number of Likes end up being = Model S reservation holders + N, where N is a small number?
With either a tax increase or a cap on deductions in the wind, is this really a good time to draw our elected representatives attention to a generous tax credit enjoyed mainly by folks wealthy enough to afford a Model S? Might be a good idea to let this one lay in the weeds until someone actually proposes doing away with it.
Either way, you'll have to fork over $97,500 when you buy the car. I'm assuming that you're not getting the car this year (since you haven't even ordered yet), so that means (assuming the rebate is still available) it will be 2014 before you will get that $7500 back, or else you might try reducing your withholdings so that you don't have as much income tax withheld over the course of the year, but either way, you're not going to see that full $7500 rebate soon.
If the difference between $90k and $98k is such a huge deal, then maybe you should order the 60kwh battery.
@stevenmaifert - You could be right, but don't forget about the Leafs and Volts of the world. Let's hope they don't remove or phase out the credit for vehicles above a certain MSRP! That would be "progressive", like our tax system. Yeeecchhhhh.
@Getting Amped Soon - Haven't forgot about the Leafs. I bought one last month :) Already have the $2500 CA rebate in hand, and am waiting for Jan. 1 to file for the Federal credit. I'm with you on any future changes... P2860 and don't expect to see my Model S until after the first of the year.
that was a pretty general posting; I suspect your "Ranger + local lift" scenario is the equivalent.
It's only once for the TMPS to get sync'd up. Once those sensors are registered with the onboard computer you don't need to do it again.
so do you get a &7500 tax credit for changing to winter tires.
I apologize. Just trying to get the thread back on track. However, you are right, Tesla will need to expand their network quickly to be a viable car company.
The federal tax credit will stay in effect. Check the US Department of Energy web-site: www.fueleconomy.gov for information. This credit is current law and has a specified phase out that is indexed to the number of vehicles produced. Remember this! A credit is used once during the tax year that the qualified vehicle is placed into service. You must have a federal tax liability of more than $7,500 in order to gain the entire advantage of this credit. It is not a rebate. If you end up owing $6,000 on your return you can use your credit and pay $0 more but the credit was only "worth" $6,000 to you.
Does anyone know whether the federal (or state too, for that matter) tax credit is applied to the year that the car is purchased (if I were to pay for my Model S now), or when I take delivery (Jan-Feb)? I'd like to get my credit for the 2012 year, and if paying for it now would make that work, I'll do it. If there's no way to make that work I guess that I'll wait for delivery before paying.
It's been posted that you can't pay in advance, plus the IRS considers that you "acquire" the vehicle when it is titled in your state.
From the IRS website (I cut some stuff out):
Section 3. SCOPE OF NOTICE
The new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle credit determined under this notice applies to plug-in electric drive motor vehicles that—
(1) Are placed in service by the taxpayer in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2009;
(2) Are acquired by the taxpayer after December 31, 2009; and
(3) Otherwise meet the requirements of § 30D.
Section 4. MEANING OF TERMS
.07 Acquired. A vehicle is not "acquired" before the date on which title to that vehicle passes under state law.
Getting Amped Soon,
Thanks for the info. That tells me that I won't be getting my tax rebate until 2013 tax year. Oh well, maybe it'll get raised to $10K by then.
mklcolin: It is not a rebate! It is a credit if you do not have a federal tax liability that is greater than $7,500 you will not realize the full benefit of this credit... I know why all the EV and PHEV companies quote their prices as if everyone will get the full benefit of this federal tax credit; however, I think it is deceptive because many buyers will not gain the full amount because their federal tax liability will be less than $7,500.
If you can afford a Tesla, and have a tax liability under $7500, please speak up. I need to know what I am doing wrong.
^Speaking. I own a small consulting company and pay estimated taxes quarterly. Therefore, I can manipulate how much I pay, to within a certain extent and IRS guidelines. Usually, toward the 3rd and 4th Quarters of each year I can compare where my income may likely stand by year's relative to the past few years for the company, and determine what I need to be paying in taxes. It can be a double-edge sword at times, especially when we have corporate clients that wish to pre-pay by year's end for services to be performed in the next year. This gets the money in their current budget year, but kind of leaves me hanging with a big tax bill if I wasn't prepared for it.
To clarify, you don't have to OWE $7500 at the end of the year to get the credit. If you paid in$7500 or more in taxes during the year, you qualify even if you otherwise are getting a rebate. It just adds $7500 to your rebate amount.
Lots of ways to do it. Be retired but invested in tax exempt bonds. Have lots of income in 2012, but expect a loss in 2013. Have great wealth but no income. Make a lot of bad investments. Be in the 47% (many of them Romney's friends) who don't pay taxes.
For those who aren't eligible for the tax credit, I've seen elsewhere (perhaps here or on the TMC forums) the idea of doing a Roth IRA conversion. Basically, take the money in your conventional IRA (where you pay the tax when you withdraw), move the money over to a Roth IRA (where you pay the tax up front) and take the credit on the liability that this introduces.
I did not see a definitive answer on whether the EV tax credit could be affected by the 'fiscal cliff' so I did a little research and the answer is that refundable income tax credits are exempt from sequestration, so it isn't subject to an automatic cut.
I didn't spot it in the text of the act, but there's a Congressional Research Service report on special rules and exemptions for members of Congress. Pages 6 and 18 list individual income tax credits as exempt.
So, unless Congress actually does something, the tax credit is going to be applicable in 2013 and beyond. It is possible that this credit could be negotiated away as part of a deal, if Congress were to pass a budget in 2013, but that's true of any tax credit.
Thank you for reporting on your research. Your observations offer me some solace. Now I will hope that the credit doesn't get negotiated away.
I have seen several mentions that this $7500 credit might be changed to a $10000 credit, or even an immediate 'rebate' taken off the purchase price of the EV. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!!
Would apply to only cars with MSRP <=$45K. Not relevant to Tesla (yet).
typo: 'only to cars'
I suspect the thinking is to encourage the production of "affordable" EVs. Like the GenIII!
What about the immediate price reduction?
I actually called the FEDS two weeks ago and spoke to a nice lady who was actually looking into getting herself a Tesla....regarding the tax credit, it is not changing unless there is something already in the works to cancel it and there is not...so no matter what happens in the next few weeks the $7500 tax credit will still be intact. And no it's not going to $10K....I wish but no.
Last year I owed a little over $5K in taxes, so starting 1/1/13 I have lowered my 401K amount that is taken out of my check, I am only doing this for 2013 so I can get a better benefit for the tax credit. I am keeping my fingers crossed it works lmao. If not then I will not get the full benefit of the tax credit.
I repeat, the $10K is not intended to increase the $7.5K appolicable to cars worth over $45K. To be quite clear, a $57.5K Tesla would net out at $50K, a $40K Leaf would net out at $30K.
typo: applicable
Happy New Year to all... Just wanted to leave a quick note on the forum and let everyone know that late last night the House finally voted on the American Tax Payer Relief Act. As a result the $7500 Credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property (Sec. 30C) was extended into 2013. Yay!!!!!
Just a note of clarification. I believe the $7500 credit did not need to be extended, it just wasn't eliminated with the new bill. The credit for refueling property refers to (in our case) charging equipment installed at your main residence or business and it is 30% of the cost up to a max $1000 credit in the case of your home. There was also an extension of a tax credit for 2 or 3 wheel vehicles in the new bill.
So I'm pretty sure that means if you buy a HPWC and install a new circuit in your home, you could claim 30% of the cost as a tax credit.
Does anyone know if a NEMA 14-50 outlet counts towards the refueling credit? I know it does for my local utility's rebate program...
@riceuguy - IANA(tax)L, but my understanding is if it is dedicated to only an EV, yes.
@Jat, Thanks, I'll definitely look into it. If the city covers half the cost (already got that in writing!) and I can get 30% back as a tax credit (wonder if that's 30% before or after rebate?!), it's a pretty sweet deal!
riceuguy, just to be clear... A credit applies against your total tax liability. If you mean that you don't have to owe extra in April because of underpayment that's different, you are right there.
So if your total tax liability (forget refunds and all that) is >$7500 you can enjoy the credit. If it is less, you will only get credit up to total tax liability.
So, if you paid $6000 in the year in tax, and your 1040 says you owe exactly $6000 (before the credit) so normally you would get no refund, the credit would get that $6000 back... no more.

A chartered flight scheduled to carry tourists from Europe to Maldives for the summer holidays has been cancelled.
The political instability and the State of Emergency declared in Maldives has resulted in concern for travel and tourism stakeholders operating in Maldives.
CEO of Capital Travel and Tours, Yoosuf Riffath tweeted last Monday night that a confirmed charter from Madrid, Spain to Maldives for the summer holidays has been cancelled.
"22 years of marketing down the drain," wrote Riffath in his tweet.
"#Maldives tourism is in peril. State of Emergency must be lifted not extended."

Maldivian tour operators who participated in the BIT Milan 2018 travel exhibition in Italy last week reported that visitors expressed concern over the safety and security for tourists in Maldives.
A push has already been made by the Maldivian government to extend the State of Emergency to 30 more days.
The co-founder and vice president of Liveaboard Association of Maldives (LAM), Ismail Hameed has also expressed concern over possible extension of the State of Emergency.
Ismail tweeted last Monday that the tourism industry is fragile, and that extending the State of Emergency will result in millions of dollars in losses.
This will bring huge concerns to the tourism industry if the SOE is extended . Our market is v fragile and v competent within the region and alike destinations. Millions spent by the industry will go to waste. https://t.co/KiDdr1nUMO

The U.S. Army and Marine Corps have finished testing prototypes of the Humvee replacement known as the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.
But results of the evaluations haven't been released and manufacturers are still waiting for the program office to issue a request for proposals — initially expected this month — to begin the next round of competition.
Defense contracting giant Lockheed Martin Corp., truck-maker Oshkosh Corp. and Humvee-maker AM General LLC each delivered 22 JLTV prototypes to the Army for testing under engineering and manufacturing development contracts signed in 2012. Now, the companies are competing against each other to build 17,000 of the vehicles under a much bigger low-rate initial production contract.
"Our JLTV solution draws upon real-world experience gained from supporting the ground operations that our soldiers and Marines perform every day," Oshkosh Defense President John Urias said in a release announcing the end of limited-user testing, or LUT. The firm has built the Army fleets of medium– and heavy-duty and blast-resistant trucks.
Jeff Adams, a spokesman for AM General, said the company has completed every milestone throughout the EMD phase, including LUT. "We are very pleased with the BRV-O's performance and its demonstrated ability to fill the Capability Gap in Light Tactical Vehicles and look forward to the program down-select decision expected sometime in mid-2015," he said in an e-mail.
Overall, the Army aims to purchase about 49,000 JLTVs, while the Marine Corps plans to acquire about 5,500 of the armored trucks. Both services have pledged their commitment to the program despite facing automatic budget cuts known as sequestration.
The Pentagon has estimated the effort to develop and build the vehicles at almost $23 billion, or about $400,000 per truck, according to a 2013 report from the Congressional Research Service. Leaders have maintained each vehicle will cost about $250,000.
"I am absolutely convinced that the proposals will be less than what that unit cost will be," Col. John Cavedo, who manages the Army and Marine Corps acquisition effort, said at an Army conference in October.
The testing took place at Fort Stewart, Georgia, where soldiers and Marines evaluated 30 of the trucks in several mission scenarios, including off-road, towing and pushing cars from the road.
"We have 30 JLTVs out here from three different vendors, all prototypes, all running concurrently," Col. Ron McNamara, a director with the Army's Operational Test Command, said, according to a release. "Make no mistake – this is a very large test."
Feedback from troops is vital to improve the design of the vehicles, he said.
"They figure out ways to make things work or not work that you'd never dream of in a laboratory, so you have to get this equipment into the hands of soldiers and then do an operational test," he said. "See if it's soldier proof."
He added, "What you don't want are soldiers to drive it like it's a borrowed Lamborghini. We want them to use it like they will in a combat situation."
Sgt. Tayler Cole, an infantryman with th 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, didn't say which type of JLTV he thought outperformed the others. But he did say all were better than the Humvee.
"Overall I think the JLTVs are way better than the Humvee," he said. "I hope they get them to us as fast as they can."

Stocks lost 1 percent on Wednesday, the U.S. market's biggest drop since late October. But Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors, said that the S&P 500 could reach 1,200 in the short-term and 1,300 to 1,350 in the longer-term. He shared his insight.
"1,200 we think is the number we're going to achieve, fully discounting fourth quarter earnings—meaning over the next month or two, as we report the fourth quarter," Orlando told CNBC.
"We expect the S&P to appreciate up to the 1,300 to 1,350 level over the course of the next 12 months or so."
Orlando said historically, gridlock has been favorable for the economy and the markets.
"In terms of where to invest, we continue to like some of the higher beta areas as the economy continues to recover—technology, consumer discretionary, materials, and financial services," he said.
"But if yesterday's activities in Massachusetts spell the death knell of health care legislation, then health care stocks generally—which are extraordinarily cheap—could be an area that bears watching." (Counterpoint:Cramer: Sell These Health-Care Stocks Now!)

The Best Tool to Make Your Hockey Betting Better!
Are you fond of hockey? Do you like watching matches of your favorite team? Well, you're not alone. People around the world enjoy this game, attend big matches at stadiums and root for their teams. Hockey is one of the most popular games in the West, especially in Central, West, North Europe and North America. Teams from Canada and USA are members of NHL. The NHL is probably the most popular organization which involves thirty teams from the US and Canada and provides one of the most interesting championship; the NHL Stanley Cup.
Betting on Games
A big part of such a massive and popular sport business is betting. People have been making stakes and bets since sport games were invented, thousands years ago. Fans, audiences and onlookers always feel some sort of excitement while watching a match or a game. Most of them do not think about the odds of their team winning, they simply bet and enjoy the process. Sometimes, some of them become gamblers and this is obviously not what we wish for you.
Anyway, betting is a big and important part of hockey. People who watch NHL matches win thousands of dollars or can loose them at the same time.
It is not so easy to pick the right team which will win the game. Especially when there are about thirty teams that play in the NHL every year. You need to keep an eye on all NHL matches to make sure you make a stake on the best team or at least the best option.
Right, the best option doesn't ultimately mean the best team which wins the match. You can make a stake on any result that you can think of. It gives you a rather wide range of choices.
You can follow the team's results, how players do their job and try to pick up some useful tips for you. For example, you may know that team X in the NHL has lost its best player because of a leg fracture. Due to this tip, you may decide that the team X can lose the next match and make a right decision about your stake. That is clever betting.
Bitcoin as a Good Option for Your Betting
Today, betting has become more comfortable and easy. You can watch a TV channel with your favorite match sitting in your chair, pick all the information about teams and games and then make all your stakes via the Internet. Moreover, one of the most useful and exciting things about betting available today is cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin. It is convenient, comfortable, anonymous and more profitable. There are a lot of advantages to using Bitcoin as your instrument for betting and making stakes on your favorite team. Get more information and pick up some tips about Bitcoin and sport betting with Bitcoins on our website and you will can be sure this is really awsome.

I was idly surfing around the other day, looking for something to fulminate about when the vagaries of internet pop up advertising algorithms obliged me with this:
Good Lord. Ayatollah Khomeini famously wrote at length on how to clean one's bung hole ( and his contribution is only one to an extensive literature on this fascinating subject), and while we don't yet have the government telling us how to do that( Wait, do I know that for sure?), we seem to be headed in the same direction.
I'm from California, which is home to a particularly pernicious endemic pink bathroom mold. There are two major schools of thought as to how to deal with it: dry everything in the bathroom after use, and immediately put the towels used in the laundry; or. wait until the pink slime is really unsightly and scrub down periodically. Or just move every so often.
I'd like to show this pop up to a Paulbot and watch him( they usually are he/him) go into meltdown as to how this is not one of the enumerated functions of government.
But it really isn't, unless you want to envelop it in a penumbra emanating from the phrase "domestic tranquility." Dirty bathrooms can really annoy some people.
Wait, wait about the general welfare? Won't someone please think about the children? Studies show that "x" number of children suffer from something or other due to moldy bath toys.
The ad does also bear the logo of the Ad Council, but that is not as private sector as you might think. The council is funded by corporate donors but you can find the government among the partners involved in execution, so somehow tax money seeps in. If you think about it, isn't a corporate-government partnership advising us on "social issues" kind of creepy? And they have been doing it since 1942. That accounts for a lot of things.
We don't need the EPA to tell us how to keep our bathrooms clean: that is among the enumerated functions of mothers-in-law.
I thought the EPA was about saving trees and cleaning up rivers, so Indian chiefs don't have to cry.

Best Investment Option for Middle Class People In India
Are you belong to middle class in india and doing job? Well in that case, it is important for you to make good investment before you retire from the job. The best investment practice is to start as early as possible. Here we are suggesting some of the most high return investment options which will give you better return and safer return over the years. So what are you waiting for, check the investment option and start investing now.
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan)
One of the most popular and safest way to invest for long term. Yes, this is for the long term investment, for short term gain, you need to search other investment plans. You can choose different mutual fund SIPs which will give minimum 15 to 30% return per year. The return is defiantly depend on the share market's move but it is one of the safest way to wealth creation for the long term gain. We have studied different data, which suggest that SIP is one of the best investment plan so far. You can check the best SIP mutual fund plans and decided which one to invest in.
You can start investing in SIP from Rs.500 per month. Once you start, depends on your scheme tenure, money will be deducted from your bank account automatically and you don't need to worry at all. You must be thinking that money is being invested in share market, how it is going to be safe investment as market is always volatile, right?
Well, when you invest in SIP, it give you chance to get benefit of both high market and low market price. On fixed date of month, you buy SIP units, at whatever the price of NAV, if NAV is down, you get more benefit, If NAV is high, you are already in profit and buying more units. So, this way, you will get benefits of ups and down with SIP investment.
PPF (Public Provident Fund)
If you are job class worker, you must be having PF account. Under PF account you will get high interest rate (8-9% approx.). It is one of the super safest investment, as you will surely get your money you land to government. This is best way to earn more return but compared to mutual fund SIP, PPF does not give that much return. One of the disadvantage with PPF is that your money gets locked in for next 5 years from the date of investment.
There are ELSS scheme of Mutual fund (mostly used to save tax), which too get your money Locked for 3 years but there are more options available in SIP which does not have any lock in period.
Bank Fixed Deposit
One of the most old form of invest and super safe as well. You can deposit your money in long term bank FD and get regular return. Many of the retired people choose bank FD option to get return on regular intervals. But it is one of the low return scheme, with around just 7-8% return max. Also, if you falling in taxable range, you have to pay tax on that as well.
In such case, we recommend you to go with Mutual Fund SIP option, it is one of the best investment option for middle class/job class people in India.

The Super Bowl 2014 commercials are almost set for the BIG event next year. Although a 30-second spot costs around $4million, this doesn't always mean that a network is going take money readily.
For the past years, many commercials were banned for some reason. One is that a certain ad may be offensive to certain groups. Another reason is the lack of decency of some ads, or not child-friendly. Some are meant to be rejected so they can have free publicity and go viral online.
In 2010, the almighty Tim Tebow was also not spared from the Super Bowl controversy. That year, the conservative Christian organization Focus on the Family created a pro-life spot featuring Pam Tebow and her "miracle baby," whom doctors had urged her to abort due to complications from dysentery. Despite many protests from women's groups, the Tebow commercial was aired , which ultimately turned out to be quite sweet and a bit humorous.
Here are some of the other ads that didn't make it to the Super Bowl:
- Ashley Madison starring Savanna Samson (2011)
With the fairly tame Super Bowl commercial rejected by NBC in 2009, Ashley Madison, the online dating site, steps its game up in the previous year with a more daring ad that conveys messages about cheating. While the commercial didn't use the company's slogan "Life is short. Have an affair", the ad featured porn star Savanna Samson. This is why Fox had to ban it from the Super Bowl. But what may have put the ad out were the appearances by a guy in a bunny suit and a capybara – since giant rodents are always sexy.
- Airborne starring Mickey Rooney (2005)
Advertisers always wanted to flirt with nudity during Super Bowl commercials, which often involves famous actresses, athletes, or a Kardashian. However, in 2005, the immunity supplements company, Airborne, had its commercial rejected as it featured the 84-year-old bare ass of Mickey Rooney. The concept was that Rooney is sitting in a sauna when a woman coughs. Horrified, he runs out and drops his towel. Luckily, Betty White and Abe Vigoda have higher standards.
- JesusHatesObama.com (2011)
Fox News has no problems with guests bad mouthing the president, but to have Jesus do it during the Super Bowl was definitely too far. Within the said commercial a condescending Jesus Bobblehead sneer at an Obama doll with "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" playing in the background. When little Obama falls headfirst into a fishbowl, Jesus smiled in approval and flashed his unloving message. The ad was produced by the conservative tchotchke-selling website JesusHatesObama.com
- PETA: Veggie Love (2009)
In 2009, NBC had many reasons for denying the spot to PETA's "Veggie Love" commercial where women wearing lingerie did awful stuff to broccoli, asparagus, and—worst of all—a pumpkin. As the tagline explained, the animal rights organization just wanted to point out that "studies show vegetarians have better sex." Then in the following year, PETA went back to the cue teasing with an ad that's supposed to show "auditions" for the original Veggie Love spot.
- KGB: "In the Hole" (2010)
The of men having their heads up their asses isn't exactly that innovative (or arguable), but when KGB, the text messaging company that answers questions for a fee, produced a Super Bowl commercial actually depicting it, they went too far… up. As if the anatomical painful imagery weren't bad enough, it was perhaps the ad's punch line after a golfer drains a putt —"it's in the hole"— that sank this ad.
- Bud Light: Skinnydipping (2007)
Although Anheuser-Busch is one of the largest Super Bowl sponsors, its 2007 Bud Light commercial didn't make the cut in the event. The concept of the ad was something that seemed agreeably clichéd at first—a wholesome couple decides to go skinny dipping in a pool on a beautiful, moonlit night. The only problem was that the ad takes a Percy twist at the end.
- ManCrunch (2010)
In the same year that Tim Tebow's controversial commercial was permitted to air during the Super Bowl, the network refused an ad by ManCrunch, which is a gay dating site. The setup for the ManCrunch commercial resembled to the famous Letterman-Leno ad that was aired the same year were a couple of guys were sitting on the couch watching the game. Unfortunately, a bowl of chips had somehow ignited their true feelings.
- Bud Light: Clothing Drive (2010)
Three years after Bud Light attempted to put its skinny dipping spot on the air, the company decided to show more skin with an ad that rewarded office mates with a free beer for each item they donated to a clothing drive. By the end of the commercial there are black bars everywhere protecting viewers' innocent eyes—especially from the maintenance guy replacing a light bulb.
- Rolling Rock: Ricochet (2007)
The Super Bowl may be the biggest game on the planet, but when the last whistle blows, baseball fans know that spring training is just around the corner. In 2007, Rolling Rock had some fun with America's national pastime with a wonderfully sophomoric ad showing fans (and a horse) getting hit in the crotch by a foul ball that wouldn't stop ricocheting. But what made the ad strike out with Fox was the final visual that was paired with the tagline: "Remember your cup."
- Smart Beep: Blind Date (1999)
In an interview with Rolling Stone last year, George Clooney was asked what really makes him laugh. He didn't hesitate: fart jokes. He said that it's one of the funniest things in the history of mankind. "Even the idea of a fart makes me laugh. Saying the word 'fart' makes me laugh. I have iFart on my phone. I have remote whoopee cushions. Farts. To me, there's nothing funnier." So there's little doubt Clooney would love this 1999 commercial by Smart Beep that will make you feel better about the worst blind date you ever had in your life.

Arnau Sanjuan Román designed the famous Cariblanco!. The whole project is build on a Suzuki GN 125 and it gives the impression of a Scrambler style. Also, the creator is know to helped design the Bottpower Moto2 race bike as an Anime style in Spain.
Considering customizing your motorcycle into a scrambler? Take a look on this!
Román is developing a group of custom motorcycles with Costa Rica Hot Rods for the Central American market, and this is often the epitome, a light-weight mix of street tracker and a cafe racer. "The Cariblanco" is predicated on the cool single-cylinder Suzuki GN 125 but can simply tailored to a Suzuki GN 250.
Román has tweaked the pure mathematics of the bike, chopping the rear frame and dropping the front suspension by 80 mm. The stance is improved with longer rear shocks, and new 18" wheels with dual-sport tires square measure put in. The lights and blinkers derive from Harley-Davidson, however the fuel tank has been repositioned and therefore the fenders has been manually manufactured. Finally, a brand new hydraulic brakes system is fitted to the rear finish, and ofcourse a surf rack support is connected to the frame.
Doesn't this look awesome? You just grab your surfboard and start cruising around beaches in search of the right wave.
Check the video too!
The video was Filmed & Edited by: Juan Diego Otalvaro.
The Driver and the Surfer is Moritz Müller.
And the awesome music is a collaboration of The Offspring, Sufjan Stevens, Shark Island.

Susan says…
After a failed attempt to dine at Minard's Spaghetti Inn on Easter Sunday (they were closed), I thought it might be nice to treat my Dad to dinner there for Father's Day. We made a real event of it by also inviting Ron's Dad and Stepmom, who live in nearby Grafton. In fact, this was the first time our fathers had even met.
I have adopted a strict policy concerning Italian food and the northern part of the state:
If you make it to Route 50 or points north, you MUST eat Italian.
And I don't mean the fake Olive Garden stuff, not that there is one, and not that there's anything wrong with Olive Garden – I like the Chicken con Broccoli and tiramisu as well as the next fella. But Clarksburg/Fairmont/Morgantown are home to some fantastic Italian joints. I immediately think of Julio's and Oliverio's, to name just a couple. I was excited to try Minard's for the first time and see how it stacks up.
Well, you really can't compare them to each other. Everyone has their own idea of what the quintessential red sauce should be and every restaurant does it a little differently. I am pretty easy to please when it comes to pasta, cheese, sauce, and garlic bread so I usually like it no matter what the specific style.
I'll start my analysis with the atmosphere. Linen tablecloths and napkins adorn the tables and several smallish rooms divide the building into intimate dining areas. We were enjoying some lively conversation that I was afraid was disturbing to the other parties in our "room", but we didn't get shushed by the professional and prompt waitstaff.
The menu consists of mostly the old standbys involving red sauce. I am a real sucker for cream sauce, but I only noted a couple dishes with alfredo and a couple veal dishes without the red stuff. Since it seemed like red sauce was their "thing", I chose one of those entrees: manicotti. Prices range from $10-$18 and include bread and salad.
My Mom and Dad opted for an alternative to salad and they even accomodated my Mom's request for cottage cheese with a dab of applesauce in the center. Nicely played, Minard's!
The salad consisted of a generous portion of crisp, fresh iceberg lettuce and some chopped tomatoes. Yep, that's it. It kinda bugs me when they can't throw in a few other veggies and a couple croutons. But even so, the lettuce was so fresh and the Italian dressing was so good, I was satisfied with the salad course.
I did not taste the bread that came with the entrees because I upgraded to garlic toast. If I am going to waste carbs and calories on bread, I prefer that bread to be as garlicky as possible. It wasn't near as buttery as Fazio's, and not as garlicky, but it was crunchy and delicious all the same. (I think you can squeeze Fazio's garlic toast and a stream of butter will drip off. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.)
Ron and I ordered a half liter of Chianti to wash down the pasta, which was nicely priced at $9. They brought the teeniest wine glasses ever – almost as small as an after-dinner liquor glass. It made it seem like there was more wine than there actually was in the carafe because we refilled those cute little glasses a lot. Like almost every wine I've tasted – I liked it.
I enjoyed the manicotti. The portion was just right and the price ($11.50) reasonable. The ricotta and herb filling was creamy and yummy. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente. And although the sauce was good, I could not discern any specific flavors from it other than tomatoes and sugar. Not a complex sauce, but full of finely ground beef. I really wanted to taste Dad's meatball, but he didn't offer. Darn it.
The disappointment in this meal, for me, came with the dessert course. Since everyone at the table ordered dessert (except Ron), I followed suit. And I regretted it after one bite. I can describe the tiramisu in a single word: WET. It just tasted wet. No coffee flavor, no chocolate flavor, no mascarpone flavor in the zabaglione, nothing. I should have put my fork down after one bite. But I didn't. Like an idiot, I just kept eating the wet, cold dessert. I asked if they make the desserts on site and our waiter told me "no", they come from a local bakery called Almost Heaven. Sorry dudes, but you need to work on that tiramisu recipe. A dusting of cocoa instead of chocolate shavings would be a good start.
Dad, perhaps feeling a little guilty about how selfish he was with his two meatballs, offered me a bite of his chocolate cake since I was staring at it – it was delicious and rich. So the chocolate layer cake is indeed almost heaven but the tiramisu…not so much. Ironically, I called Almost Heaven Bakery to validate the waiter's claim and was told they provide only the tiramisu – they don't know where the chocolate cake comes from. Minard's was reluctant to tell me who makes the chocolate cake, only that it comes from a "distributor". Hmmm….is that code for "mass-produced, frozen and shipped"? I think the Olive Garden's tiramisu comes in frozen (as I have been served a piece with a frozen center before), but I still love it!
Give Minard's a try when in the Clarksburg area, but only after you've been to Julio's and Oliverio's – both of which receive a higher rating from me. Minard's – THREE FORKS.
Ron says…
Italian ~ does anyone do it better than your mom? I'm serious, my mom's Samoan, and her spaghetti sauce is the best.
What Susan said about north of US 50 somewhat holds true for me. Not that I have to eat pasta but there is a noticeable increase in Italian fare to choose from. Additionally like Susan, there are more places like Fazio's or Rocco's, I guess you could call them "home grown". Pick your own term, but there's simply more of them up here to choose from.
So stopping at Minard's sounds pretty good, I had heard good things about it and I enjoy Italian as much as the next person just not the next person's mom's Italian as much as my mom's Italian (~ I think I could've got one more apostrophe in there).
Seeing the signs about how long Minard's has been in business, and upon entering seeing the linen table cloths and all, I was expecting a real treat.
Let's back up here a second. Those true fans of my musings, understand what I mean when I say a real treat. Those of you that are new readers to the best food blog in the Kanawha area have to understand that I don't really know what the hell I'm talking about. If it's good, that means I like it. If it sucks, then I don't like it. My reviews will not be about "a taste of this" or "a hint of that" and my journalistic credibility has been established a long time ago. In that I have none.
So by a real treat I mean I wanted something that I felt was home cooked, not a glorified lean cuisine – you know pull the plastic off the tray and zap it in the microwave the Olive Garden. Well, never a judge a book by the cover.
Looking over the menu, I saw a few different things that I thought I may enjoy, but mostly I saw several entrees that looked like they were created for the masses. By that I mean that our kids would eat them also. There was nothing on here that Tony Soprano or Vito Corleone would want, not even a cannoli if my memory serves me correctly. {because my mom is Samoan, the only thing I know about Italians are what I learn from mafia movies} So where was I?
Today I was in the mood for some spaghetti and/or lasagna typical Applachian Italian. The kind mom used to make. So I ordered the Tour of Italy or Taste of Italy – to be honest I don't really remember what it was called, but it was Minard's comparative entree to Olive Garden's ~ you know if you can't make up your mind, try a little of everything. I think it was even named similarly. I could be wrong.
Well we ordered and the guy brought out some bread…… how original…. Should I mention that I like my bread warm? I like my butter to spread easily? If I recall I think Fazoli's even offers warm breadsticks. Come on… give me warm bread and cheap soda.
I didn't like the bread, not that there was anything wrong with it, I just felt they brought bread out because they felt that's what restaurants are supposed to do. It was ok, but did not blow my skirt.
Then came the salad – first rule of salads should be that you must be able to eat it. Yes I could eat this iceberg salad, but it was difficult, and my step mom was having the same trouble as I. Stab a piece of lettuce here, salad pops out the other side of the bowl. Stab the other side and the salad slides up and out of the opposite side. WTF!!! The bowls I think were made for sundaes, and if they were not made for ice cream then that's what they should be for. I think everyone at the table that got salad, had some end up outside the bowl. But their dressing was pretty good, I got the house.
Not long after came the entree. I had spaghetti, lasagna, and …. well??? …hmmmm.. Something else.. I don't remember what the heck it was other than it had italian sausage in it. (journalistic credibility at its best)
To be honest my meal tasted pretty good. I cannot complain about the meal, it was plenty to eat, and was not priced outrageously. $12.95 I think. The sauces were on the sweet side which is how I like mine.
The problem…
… and here is where I'll invoke the wrath of all the Minard's fanboys…
Not only is my Samoan mom's better tasting, well Stouffer's is just as good as the food I tasted.
The Lasagna tasted to me exactly like Stouffer's lasagna – and believe me I've eaten a great deal of Stouffer's Lasagna – until I realized just how easy it was to make lasagna. The spaghetti was good but not exceptional, well of course I'm talking about the sauce, maybe Newman's Own, but it was good and I'm sure our kids would like it.
Even though my review doesn't sound like it, up until this point I was going to give Minard's Four Forks. After all, I would eat here again, it tasted good, and it wasn't too expensive.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the farm ordering desserts… Our server was asked if the desserts were made on site. IMO, if they are made offsite, then they are not homemade. These were made offsite. (yes if I went to the Keebler Tollhouse and asked if they were made onsite, I would call them homemade) Once hearing this, my world came crashing down, and the illusiion of homemade became apparent.
Suddenly I started thinking, was this bowl a Sundae bowl doubling as a Salad Bowl? Was my bread also baked offsite, hence it cooled down during delivery? Was my lasagna indeed Stouffer's? Is there a case of Newman's Own sitting on the shelf in the back?
All of those unanswered questions have caused my review to take the tone it has. I do not know, but in Samoa, they have a saying if it chimps like a monkey, and if it climbs like a monkey – well it must be a monkey.
I liked Minard's but I expected more and therein lies the crime. Expectation. It's best to go through life without them and save yourself the disappointment.
Yes I would eat here again, I doubt I would personally decide to go here, but if I was with friends or coworkers I would definitely not object to going here. This is not the Italian I would expect North of US 50, more like something I would find South of the Kanawha River. I guess it was true Appalachian Italian.
Minard's is good, but it was too similiar to the Olive Garden for me to give it that extra Fork. The service was good, the place was clean, and the atmosphere was nice… it's just that little something was missing.

When I was in high school, theology was not something I addressed with people from different religious backgrounds. Thus, I hung out in the Mormon Church playing volleyball, went to a Methodist youth group and was a member of a Roman Catholic church. Unfortunately, this atmosphere changed as I entered college. Religious leaders often went out of their way exposing the flaws and shortcomings of each faith.
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 1 Peter 3:15.
This climate leads to one of three responses. Those who change their beliefs are either brain washed, deceived by false teachers or set free. This commonly held mindset ended several relationships I had with individuals from different faiths. On one occasion, I discovered I was placed on the do not talk to list by one cult, afraid I might convince members to leave this church. In a quest to prove whose God is true, division often ruins friendships.
Keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander, 1 Peter 3:16.
I'm assuming the context of the 2 passages above refer to a similar situation. Peter understood that when you are debating or discussing differences in religions that you must be respectful. Any type of arrogance, pride or smugness will offend those you are trying to convince to come over to your side of an issue. Perhaps, individuals should follow in the footsteps of God who offers free will, not forcing anyone to believe. Regardless of how passionate you may be, remember to talk to others who you disagree with gentleness and respect. This honors the Lord and helps others keep an open mind in the future.

The six Democratic candidates hoping to become Philadelphia's next mayor took the stage Tuesday night for the first televised debate of the 2015 race for mayor. The debate was immediately followed by exclusive post-debate analysis online.
NBC10 and Telemundo 62 partnered with the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce to host the live debate at the Kimmel Center. NBC10's Jim Rosenfield was the moderator.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
The one-hour debate aired on NBC10, NBC10.com, Telemundo 62 and on the NBC10 app.
Each candidate looked to distance themselves from the field for the May 19 primary.
All the candidates agreed to participate: former Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne Abraham, ex-City Solicitor and former Common Pleas Court Judge Nelson Diaz, ex-City Councilman Jim Kenney, Doug Oliver who was once the press secretary for Mayor Nutter and most recently Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Philadelphia Gas Works, former State Senator T. Milton Street who also ran in 2011 and current State Senator Anthony Hardy Williams.
A scary moment occurred early on in the debate however when Abraham collapsed as Senator Williams was speaking. Abraham was taken off staged and checked out by a doctor. She did not return to the debate but later told NBC10 she was doing fine.
Questions in the debate touched on topics including education, the city's changing workforce, a lightning round of Q&A, safety and a few surprise topics brought up in questions posed by voters.
The winner of next month's Primary faces the sole Republican candidate, 36-year-old businesswoman Melissa Murray Bailey, in the Nov. 3 General Election.

Every person on this planet has gone through heart-breaking and soul shattering challenges that have changed us forever. What we learn (hopefully) out of these hard times is how to live better lives, how to be better people. It changes our perspective on what's really important in life. Most times it boils down to people. The people we love and care for. Materialistic matters become secondary and we start focusing on our relationships with significant others; our children, our friends, our family and the people we will love forever.
I have been through a lot but perhaps the hardest is loving a man that does not love me. That kind of pain never goes away. But, it has changed me and for the better. What better way to learn about unconditional love? I have learned how to love someone completely with every fibre of my being, without expecting anything in return.
So why I am talking about this? This pain and passion that both you and I have experienced must be written about. You can help people who have gone through similar situations. Your personal experience in dealing with these challenging emotional, physical and spiritual issues will provide hope and solace to others out there. That is what writers do. They impact the world with their words.
Yes, you have to be willing to be vulnerable and show people your pain. That's scary. But if your passion and purpose as an author is to make a difference in people's lives, then you have to take the risk.
You may only make a difference to one person. You may change that person's outlook on life and give them hope. So you write a book about what you went through and how you dealt with it. One person buys it. It's not going to make you a fortune as a writer, but on a meta-physical level you will be richer.
Now that's all fine and dandy, but we live in a physical world that requires money to fund your lifestyle. You need to be able to feed your kids, keep a roof over your head and cover your basic living expenses. If you are not feeding your family and yourself you cannot help anyone else. Altruism does not pay the bills.
But this is where it gets interesting There are over 7 billion people in the world. The chances are that there are at least a few thousand people who have gone through similar challenges and issues that you have. So write the book for them, and make a few bucks at the same time.
Make a difference, and make money at the same time.
To this end, I want to introduce you to David Martin. David makes a sizable amount of money publishing books that help people deal with spiritual, emotional and mental challenges. He has a training guide that teaches you how to convert your experiences and challenges into books that will inspire and motivate others.
Click here to learn more: Turning your pain and passion into profit.
Do you have a story to share that you think will help people? Tell me about it please. I would be honoured to help you get that message out to the world where it is needed.

Prince Hubertus of Prussia and Grand Duke Friedrich Franz of Mecklenburg-Schwerwin will arrive tomorrow at Southampton aboard the German African liner, Ubena, reports the New York Times from London. "Unusual precautions" to protect the princes, and their London "engagements are being kept secret."
Prince Hubertus is the third son of former Kaiser Wilhelm II. Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV reigned until November 1918. He is the brother of Prince Hubertus' mother, Crown Princess Cecilie. Friedrich Franz's wife, Alexandra, is a British princess by birth.

While the name may suggest that Liquids & Solids has basic offerings, the thirsty or hungry person is in for anything but basic; it's upscale food and drink in a laid-back atmosphere.
Last Saturday night, the town was crawling with out-of-towners. It was a little quieter at L&S, just off the beaten path. Inside, a very compelling bar almost snagged us, but we went directly to one of the high-tops in the center of the long room.
We began with a round of drinks from the "liquids" page and the separate beer menu. Even though we didn't taste the specialty drinks, everybody knows they are most intriguing.
Now for the solids. The eclectic menu of many tantalizing small and large plate dishes is perfect for trying many things, and especially for sharing. You can pick from Italian-style white bean and kale soup, grits, crispy polenta, Caesar salad, beet and orange salad and fried Brussels sprouts.
We tried the Brussels sprouts, one of the unexpected delights of the menu, quartered, flash-fried until the outer leaves were slightly crispy, tossed with olive oil and capers. There was little or no bitterness associated with sprouts.
To complete our meal, we moved to the "big" plates (rabbit crepinette with lentils, beef heart ragout with gnocchi, meat loaf). Tasty, surprising (where else can you find a rabbit-based meal in the USA?), we only regretted we could not pick more from the various options, from burgers and fries to scrapple, oxtail, beef hearts, duck confit, and oysters.
Desserts ("Solids-Sweets") followed the over-the-top adventurous theme. Expresso crème brulee was as rich and decadent as it sounds. Dinner for three cost $120, everything included (drinks and tip).
Much credit is due to chef/owner Tim Loomis and his business partner, Keegan Konkoski, the competent and adventuresome mixologist. These two very talented risk-takers have a restaurant that would send any foodie into a frenetic frenzy. It got them referenced in this piece from the NY Times.

Do you want to become a certified diver, or just discover what scuba is all about? If you've got a busy schedule yet dream of becoming a certified diver, then a Discover Scuba Diving session might just be right for you. This requires less time covering only a short theoretical introduction to Scuba diving, a pool session followed by a fun dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 ft.). The DSD is a great way getting yourself a brief introduction to the world of Scuba diving and can be done in a day.
The first step is to sign up. We will go through the paperwork and ensure that you are medically fit for diving. Anyone who is generally healthy can scuba dive but if in doubt, please let us know. You will receive a brief theoretical session covering the basics of Scuba diving to give you a better understanding of the elements and how your body reacts etc. We will check the equipment sizes for you and the next step is to get wet! Depending on your experience we will practice some basic scuba diving skills in either the pool, or very shallow, calm waters off the beach.
Once this is done it's now time for our Instructor to show you around the dive site where you can meet with all those incredible fish and marine life. Our Instructor will guide you through the dive, ensuring you are safe and comfortable. Once you have finished your dives the Instructor will sign your logbook – remember that Discover Scuba Diving can be credited towards your Open Water Course in case you decide to continue with your dive training.
A good warm-up for the Open Water Diver Course. As a Discover Scuba Diving participant you are qualified to:
- Dive under the direct supervision of a certified Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Instructor to a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 ft.).
- Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba gear and participate in other diving activities as long as they meet the required supervision.
- Continue your dive training and complete the Open Water Diver certification.
Contact us for more information on how to try the Discover Scuba Diving program. We are happy to answer any questions you might have.

The nominees for the Chicago Films Critics Awards for 2019.
Kim Ki-Duk's "Moebius," the follow-up to his Golden Lion-winning "Pieta," takes many of the bizarre, incestuous beats of that drama and twists, contorts and morphs them into black comedy. Although many who read even the comparatively tame plot description that comes shortly in this review will probably doubt the comedic undertones of the latest from the controversial Korean director. Trust me. Kim uses provocation through extreme imagery to satirical ends. He wants you to squirm, be uncomfortable, and even laugh at the insanity of what's happening on the screen. And, again, trust me, the word insanity is not an exaggeration in this case.
"Moebius" is a three-actor, four-character piece that plays like Greek tragedy filtered through the lens of extreme filmmakers like Takashi Miike. As soon as one thinks that Kim has pushed the envelope narratively and visually, he has something else disturbing up his bloody sleeve. The three entirely committed, fearless performers put through the physical and emotional motions by Kim carry a film that is the definition of "not for everyone" but "Moebius" works on its terms. Its twisted, Oedipal, sadomasochistic, castrated terms.
A man (Jae-hyeon Jo) is having an affair. A mother (Eun-woo Lee, who also plays the mistress) knows about the affair and she's cracking in every possible way. She confronts her husband and attempts to castrate him. She fails. So she castrates her son (Young-ju Seo) and flees the home. The father feels such grief over his son's castration for his own sins that he becomes obsessed with trying to find ways for the young man to achieve sexual release. His journey into the kind of Google searches that the authorities sometimes track results in the discovery that some people get off by rubbing stones on their skin until they bleed while others who have been castrated have found release by having knives shoved in their back and twisted around. Did I mention that dad's mistress becomes the object of sexual obsession of the son? Careful readers will note that the mistress and mother being played by the same woman is not thematically coincidental. And then dear old crazy mom comes home and things get REALLY weird.
Did I mention all of this is conveyed without a single line of dialogue? Kim's film is not a silent one a la "The Artist" but a film in which the characters simply never speak. Oh, they make a variety of other noises, most of them guttural. It almost feels like Kim was trying to see how much human suffering a filmmaker could convey without the crutch of dialogue to do so. And so we hear groans, moans, cries, and every other sound one can imagine that doesn't include actual pronunciation.
The decision to craft "Moebius" as a dialogue-free piece has a dual impact. First, it heightens viewer involvement as we have to lean forward, concentrate heavily on the blocking and staging to follow a story that has no subtitles or other traditional sign markers. Second, it creates an exaggerated world like a theatrical piece that chooses movement or interpretative dance, for example, to convey its themes instead of narrative. And that element adds to the black comedy aspect of "Moebius"—this is inherently ridiculous but it's made more so by no one commenting in any way through dialogue on that ridiculousness.
To say the performers in "Moebius" are fearless, especially Eun-woo Lee, would be understating it significantly. Kim asks an amazing physical and emotional freedom of his actors and they all deliver. We can sit back and appreciate Kim's daring work as a commentary on the way modern society deals with sexuality, infidelity and insanity but one shouldn't ignore the very practical nature of what's happening onscreen in some of the darker moments you'll see in a cinema this year. Kim, like a lot of great shock artists, creates a work so intentionally button-pushing and maniacally over-the-top that it demands your attention. He may be one of the international cinema scene's most divisive filmmakers but no one can argue that he's going through the motions or failing to explore the function of his demented form.

There has been lots of correspondence about transport links including re-instating the Pickering to Malton rail link.
Maybe it could be done using a modern supertram with a single line and passing places. They are quiet, green, handle curves, climb gradients well and given a straight, fenced track accelerate quickly to 60-70mph and they can still cross or even run along urban roads. A similar system could be used for the Whitby to Scarborough link. This would give access to York and stations south to Beverly and Hull.
It might also suit commuters from the northern side of Scarborough and reduce the horrendous traffic jams on our roads.

Here are four of the characters from Pixar's Brave: Princess Merida, Queen Elinor, The Wise Woman and Lord MacIntosh. They will be voiced by Kelly MacDonald, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters and Craig Ferguson respectively.
UPDATE: Images removed at request of Pixar.
Wow. Great.
And here, I think is a fifth character. This is The Bear, as in The Bear and the Bow, the film's original title. I've blown up a part of the poster to highlight where I think he's hiding.
Between the V and the E. Sneaky.
The first trailer for Brave is to play in cinemas with Cars 2. Can't wait to see it.
UPDATE: The images, I'm told, were once at The Pixar Blog, but I can't see them there now.

Shape Science
I have a wonderful way a child can learn shapes in the science area. Cut out several of your desired shape from cardboard, or heavy paper (for instance 3 circles). On each one add different textures to them. One might have sand, another cotton, and another might have aluminum foil. That way their learning the shape, while feeling different textures.
Instead of going on a nature walk, the class can go on a Shapes Walk. As the kids walk around the school campus or go on a little field trip, they can point out different shapes. Or you can ask them if they can point out a circle and so forth.
When teaching shapes in my group day care home we learn that two of the same shapes put together make a totally different shape. Two squares put together make a rectangle, two triangles make a diamond., two hearts, well they just make two hearts.

Dear Friends:
The blog that I wrote in 2003 titled "Concepts and Ideas to Treat Depression Naturally (2003)" was a landmark blog introducing world leading discovery in regard to how to treat a depressive state properly.
This blog introduced to the world the idea that depression was not simply a deficiency of the neurotransmitters serotonin and/or dopamine, it was a broad deficiency across the entire neurotransmitter range.
The broad deficiency of neurotransmitters inherent in depression was a result of an underlying broad deficiency of the amino acids and other nutrients that ALL neurotransmitters are made out of.
Years ago I learned that it was rather easy to correct a broad deficiency of amino acids and other nutrients simply by taking a wide range of nutritional supplements, and performing some rather obvious gut corrective (malabsorptive corrective) measures.
Years ago I also learned that when doing the above, it only took my brain a handful of hours or so to build all of the neurotransmitters that it needed for me to not feel at all depressed.
The blog "Concepts and Ideas to Treat Depression Naturally (2003)" was the basis of understanding that I used when my son Willy insisted in 2004 that I put everything together (that had helped me supplement-wise) such that he could take it all at once. This blog represented "foundation knowledge" that my son Willy's Baggie came from.
A copy of this "Concepts and Ideas to Treat Depression Naturally (2003)" blog, with an explanation attached to it, can be found on my Nutrientscure WordPress site at https://nutrientscure.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/concepts-and-ideas-to-treat-depression-naturally-2003/
For all those that have ever suffered from depression (or manic depression), the blog that I wrote on this topic in 2003 is still a very worthy read.
