Elon Musk promises Tesla pickup will come after Model Y
Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised the electric-car maker he oversees will build a pickup truck following the Model Y crossover, Reuters reported on Tuesday. It's the latest product promise following the 2020 Roadster's surprise reveal and the Tesla Semi's pending production.
Musk took to Twitter and said, "I promise that we will make a pickup truck right after Model Y. Have had the core design/engineering elements in my mind for almost 5 years. Am dying to build it." Musk may have teased the pickup during the Semi and Roadster's reveal this past November in a sketch that showed a miniature Semi of sorts, which fit a regular half-ton pickup in its bed. When asked on Twitter if a light-duty pickup is in the works, Musk replied, "What if we just made a mini version of the Tesla Semi?"
Tesla's production queue continues to lengthen as the Silicon Valley-based automaker works to push the Model 3 into mass production. Thus far, the company hasn't been successful. Musk predicted the automaker would build 5,000 Model 3s each week by December. So far, the factory has built only a couple hundred.
The Model Y, a smaller hatchback/crossover than the Model X, will supposedly reach production sometime in 2019, which is the same year the automaker hopes to start production of the Semi. Tesla has already received hundreds of pre-orders for the all-electric semi, which promises 500 miles of range and charging times around 30 minutes.
If Tesla can manage to bring all of its future vehicles to market in the next couple of years, the lineup will include the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, Roadster, a pickup, and the Semi. We wouldn't be surprised if the pickup truck takes priority over the Roadster; Musk's latest comments could mean the 2020 Roadster might be pushed back later into the next decade.

Our search for plastic pollution in the Chilean fjords continues. The Sea Dragon and its crew — including yours truly, thanks to a sponsorship from Electrolux — have been toughing out some pretty intense weather in Patagonia but we've been eking in some science in between fighting the waves from the sailboat rails. I had a chance to help Anna Rotander of the MTM Research Center at Orebro University in Orebro, Sweden take some fish samples to bring back to her lab in Sweden yesterday and got to know a bit more about the history of the boat from our Skipper. Read on to see what I learned.
Anna is taking water samples to analyze the levels of fluorinated, chlorinated and brominated chemicals — also known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). "These chemicals are everywhere and we can analyze them at very low levels, because we have very sensitive instruments. We will probably find most classes of POPs [in fish in a Gyre] but I would assume you would find them at lower levels here because we are far from point sources." In the research her lab does they've taken samples from many places around the world and she noted that she could guess at the levels anywhere but they are doing research for a reason, because, "really you never know, if you knew exactly what you would find you wouldn't have to do anything."
Anna's group is hoping to study these chemicals in very remote places — like the Chilean fjords in Patagonia, where we are now — in order to see how far and wide the chemicals travel. They think that by recording levels of these pollutants in remote waters they will be able to better understand how they are distributed and how long they persist. For now our fish sample is sitting in Anna's perfectly cooled refrigerator waiting for its scientific debut.
When we land in Valdivia she will bring the sample back to her lab in Sweden. "It will be prepared in our lab and will be analyzed. The muscle will be analyzed for POPs and the liver for fluorinated chemicals. POPs tend to accumulate in fatty tissue whereas fluorinated chemicals are mainly found in blood and liver tissue." As our skipper Clive told me earlier, though it may just be one fish, it is the first scientific research of its kind. "The work that we are doing is baseline data, it is not as comprehensive as it could be. It is a first study, it is a first stab at trying to quantify the amount of plastic in all oceans in the world."

With the holidays quickly approaching, it's important to find less expensive ways to entertain yourself. To that end, let's see what downloadable offering Nintendo has available this week.
Bruiser and Scratch (Steel Penny Games, 1 Player, Rated E, 1,000 Wii Points)
A grid-based puzzler starring an anthropomorphic cat and dog duo, Bruiser and Scratch puts players in a strange world and tasks them with finding their way home. This takes place over a 48-level story mode, which spans six different landscapes. And in addition to the main game, there are an additional 75 puzzles available in the challenge mode.
Hockey Allstar Shootout (Big Blue Bubble Inc., 1-2 Players, Rated E, 500 Wii Points)
While it's not quite the recently announced 3-on-3 arcade title from EA, this WiiWare game may scratch that hockey itch you have. Like NHL 2K9, the game takes advantage of the Wii's motion controls for shooting, but it doesn't include an actual hockey simulation, instead focusing solely on shoot-outs and target practice. There is also a one-on-one mode, in which one player takes on the role of the goalie and the other the shooter.
Virtual Console
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sega Master System, 1 Player, Rated E, 500 Wii Points)
Here we have yet another unnecessary Virtual Console release with the Sega Master System version of Sonic 2. This inferior version—which is the same as the one that appeared on the Game Gear—features fewer stages and abilities compared to the Genesis version, as well as obviously downgraded visuals. My advice? Spend the extra $3 and pick up the better version if you haven't already.
While the release of Sonic may be a bit redundant, the two WiiWare titles on offer are interesting. Buster and Scratch, specifically, looks like it could provide quite a bit of puzzle action for a relatively low price tag.

While some human studies have shown the time of day transplant surgery is performed can influence the outcome, this study of mice with dysfunctional internal clocks is the first correlating circadian clocks with transplant success, said Doctor Daniel Rudic, vascular biologist at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) and corresponding author of the study.
The researchers found that arteries of mice with circadian clock dysfunction became thick and diseased within a few weeks of being transplanted to healthy mice. Arteries transplanted from healthy mice to the mutant mice remained healthy.
Blood vessel disease, and resulting blood loss to donated organs, is a key pitfall for transplant patients, potentially leading to organ failure and rejection.
"You take an organ out of a human, you don't think about it having a bad clock," Rudic said. "But the fact is the time at which you do the organ transplant may influence overall success and, if you have a donor who has a sleep disorder or is a night shift worker, it may affect it as well."
Since even healthy clocks produce variability in tissue function across the span of a day, transplantation might be best performed during optimal organ function, he said.
In addition to enabling sleep/wake cycles, circadian clocks are found throughout the body and involved in a lot more than sleep. "The clock is expressed not only in the brain but everywhere in the body and can function autonomously in different areas," Rudic said.
While the researchers can determine whether clock gene expression is up, down or mutated, there is currently no way to do the tests in humans. Until screening tests are identified, donors could be screened for signs of dysfunction such as a sleep disorder or even aberrant behaviours that can impair healthy clocks, such as shift work, Rudic said. "Ideally this will open up some new research avenues," he said.
Interestingly, when blood vessels from the mutant mouse stay in that mouse, disease progression is much slower. "We believe that bad clock function worsens when it intersects with disease, so if you are eating a high-fat diet or if you undergoing a serious surgery like a transplant, and you have a bad clock, disease may occur and may occur quickly," Rudic said.

Chillpak Hollywood Hour #547
It's been several weeks where Dean and Phil did a "normal" show, so naturally, it's time for "Celebrity Deaths". In this week's edition, an astonishing number of great musicians are remembered, as well as a handful of actors. Your friends in podcasting also discuss current episodic television, with Dean weighing in on "Star Trek: Discovery" and Phil assessing the current season of "Mr. Robot". Then, it's time for the big-screen (or, in Dean's case, the super-small screen as he usually watches films on airplanes). A Vietnamese romantic comedy about an absent-minded reptile professor, a romantic comedy about a girl in a coma, the brilliantly artistic sequel to a sci-fi landmark, and a truly funny sequel to a Marvel franchise all get discussed.

Its land area spans four square kilometres and is characterised by a blend of historical and modern residences.
With the beach at your door step and the city centres of Perth and Fremantle a short drive away, Cottesloe's enviable lifestyle is what makes it such a desirable location. The world-renowned Cottesloe Beach stretches for 1.5 kilometres and draws a crowd from all over the state, country and world. Also in the suburb is The Cottesloe Beach Hotel, which has been a landmark destination of Cottesloe for more than a hundred years.

Guide to Airline Boarding Procedures
You know the scene. Eager passengers line up outside the gate before those on the incoming aircraft have even deplaned. They rush down the jet way, roll aboard suitcases trailing behind them. They squeeze their luggage into the overhead bin before a flight attendant can say "gate check."
Because nearly all domestic carriers have instituted checked baggage fees, passengers are carrying on more bags, making the overhead bin a hot commodity. Passengers are finding themselves fighting tooth and nail in order to be the first one to board the plane. But with a little planning, you can secure a seat that will put you in your desired boarding group.
Many airlines, including American Airlines, JetBlue Airways and US Airways, board back to front, so try reserving a seat toward the back if early boarding and overhead bin space is a priority. If you have a tight connection, and therefore being one of the first to get off the plane is your priority, aim for an aisle seat close to the front of the plane. (But don't expect to have much space for your bag in the overhead bins.)
All carriers allow their first and business class passengers, as well as the elite members of their frequent flyer programs, to board before other passengers. Increasingly, airlines are also selling priority boarding access to the passengers willing to pay a fee. Other boarding changes that airlines are experimenting with:
- Eliminating early boarding for families traveling with small children
- Allowing passengers to board earlier if they don't need to stow luggage in the overhead bins.
Boarding style by airline
|Rear to Front
|Reverse Pyramid
|Rotating Zone
|Zone/Block Style
Air Canada
United Airlines refers to their outside-in boarding process as "WilMA" (Window, Middle, Aisle).
United first boards elite frequent flyers and other premium flyers in two groups.Mileage Plus Premier, Mileage Plus Premier Associate, Mileage Plus Premier Executive, and Mileage Plus 1K members first. After elites those groups have boarded, United has courtesy boarding for passengers requiring extra assistance. Then, passengers board sitting window seats board, followed by those in s first, then middle seats, and then finally passengers assigned to aisle seatss. United instituted this process to speed up boarding and to reduce clogging in the aisles. Passengers in window seats move into their seats, clearing space for middle= seat passengers, who then clear space for aisle-seat passengers.
Elite frequent flyers, passengers with disabilities, and those traveling with small children are asked to board before Zone 1.
- First class passengers
- Window seats
- Middle seats
- Aisle seats
Southwest Airlines does not assign seats, so getting in the first seating group is crucial when boarding in this free-for-all style, especially if you have carry-on luggage or you want to avoid getting stuck with a middle seat. Boarding groups, which are designated by the letters A, B and C, as well as positions 1 through 60 within those groups, are assigned at check-in. Positions A1 to A15 are reserved for passengers who purchase Business Select Fares. Elite frequent flyers and passengers who pay for early check-in also receive priority boarding positions. In order to get the coveted "A" seating area, check in online as early as possible. Because online check-in becomes available 24 hours before the flight is scheduled to depart, get online exactly 24 hours before takeoff for a shot at securing the "A" section. When boarding begins, passengers needing special assistance will board first, followed by the "A" boarding group. Passengers with small children board after the "A" group. Passengers in the "B" group board next, followed by those in the "C" group.
US Airways has relatively random seating, though the airline does give preference to certain passengers, including elites and those who check in online.
US Airways' Boarding Order
- Passengers who need extra time for boarding (i.e. passengers with disabilities and those traveling with young children)
- First class, top frequent flyers, and Star Alliance Gold elites from partner airlines
- Silver elite members, US Airways credit card holders, and passengers who paid extra for Choice Seats
- Economy passengers who checked in online
- Economy passengers who checked in at the airport
Rear to Front
American, as well as most domestic and international carriers, uses the standard rRear-to-fFront boarding. In the case of American, Elites, followed by ffirst and business class passengers, as well as uniformed members of the US military, board first, followed by flyers holding elite status with American Airlines, US Airways and oneworld alliance airlines.. Group 1 boarding -- which can be purchased or obtained with certain fares – boards next. Finally, Then, seats in the back of the plane are boarded followed by the middle section and then the front area.
Reverse Pyramid
As of May 2009, US Airways no longer uses the reverse pyramid boarding style.
Although research shows the reverse pyramid style is an efficient boarding style, US Airways has opted to use the standard random seating order, giving preference to elite flyers and those who checked in online a rear-to-front boarding order.
Using the reverse pyramid-style, US Airways used to seat their top frequent flyers, along with Star Alliance Gold elites from partner airlines, in seating Area 1. Star Alliance Silver elites were placed in seating Area 2. Seating Aareas 3-5 were then designated for non-elites. After elites and passengers requiring extra assistance had boarded, US Airways would board back windows first, then back middles and front windows, and so on. With the reverse pyramid, passengers simultaneously load an aircraft from back to front and outside in. Window and middle passengers near the back of the plane board first; those with aisle seats near the front enter the plane last.
- Top Elite
- Elite and first class
- Back windows
- Back middles and front windows
- Back aisles and front middles
- Front Aisles
Rotating Zone
AirTran Airways uses a rotating zone system. Business class passengers board first, followed by passengers who have purchased priority seating and board in Zone 1. Then, seats in the back five rows of the plane are boarded followed by the first five rows of coach, and this back-and-forth continues until all passengers have boarded.
Zone/Block Style
Delta groups passengers into as many as nine zones.
First class passengers and those in the first row of coach are in Zone 1. Zone 2 is for Delta's elite frequent flyer members. Zone 3 is for elite members of Delta's partner airlines. After first class and elite passengers, Zone 4+ are designated based on seating assignment, from the back of the plane to the front.
- Top Elite, first class passengers, and first row of coach
- Elite Delta frequent flyers
- Elite members of partner airlines
- Rear
- Middle
- Front

Give each group of tests its own output file. * Rename each sub-makefile to *.mk; * Add a *.exp file of expected output for each sub-makefile; * Remove test.exp, which is replaced by all the other *.exp files. * Use suffix rules to generate *.rawout and *.out files for each test case. * Rewrite the test and accept targets to adapt to the new way. The old (now removed) test.exp file is almost identical to the concatenation (in the correct order) of all the new *.exp files. There are expected differences in makefile names embedded in the output, and the new "exit status" lines. Some old "*** Error code 1 (ignored)" lines are also removed (replaced by new "exit status 1" lines).
This form allows you to request diff's between any two revisions of a file. You may select a symbolic revision name using the selection box or you may type in a numeric name using the type-in text box.

Student or Learner
Should there be an article 'a' with a race?
I'm a Chinese or I'm Chinese.
We normally talk of our own and other's nationality, not their race. About the only time I ever refer to myself as 'Caucasian', is when, in talking about people's reactions to seeing my colleagues and me for the first time when we worked in China, I say "We were the only Caucasians within five hundred miles of the town".
I normally say, depending on the situation, "I am English" or "I am British". I never say, "I'm an Englishman" or "I'm a Briton". Of a Chinese or Japanese colleague, I would only ever say say "S/he is Chinese/Japanese", with no article.
We have to fill in ethnicity on many forms too- there are over 200 languages spoken in London and we're a diverse society. We don't ask people directly about this, but we could ask about nationality. And we generally don't use the indefinite article.
There are many cultural differences- I find it weird to be asked how much money I make, a question I have never asked my brothers. That's what makes the world so interesting.
Who is asking you that? Unless it's on a job interview or with the tax man, it's a "none of your business" question for sure.
Yes, I agree. I have been asked many times about my race because many think that I am Chinese, which I am not, like, 'Are you Chinese?' Or 'Is any of you parent Chinese?'
But then again, to learn a language is to learn its culture too.

Traditionalists warn that women who exercise "too much" sovereignty over their bodies (by utilising contraception, availing themselves of abortion or new reproductive technologies) risk making men irrelevant. And men who feel irrelevant will behave like perpetual teenagers, refusing to make lasting commitments, cheerful in the certainty that whatever happens sexually, a "woman will take care of things".
We socialise women to be afraid of one thing more than anything else: being alone. The anti-feminist opponents of progress are masters at exploiting that fear, urging women to resist the siren song of technologically assisted autonomy lest they find themselves growing old without a man. The anecdotal evidence that a great many men in Britain and the US do seem stuck in what the scholar Michael Kimmel calls "Guyland" – an enduring adolescence that seems to last decades – seems to legitimate the shrill jeremiads of the traditionalists.
But the opponents of progress are wrong.
Leaving aside their wrongness on the larger questions of women's autonomy and reproductive ethics, they're wrong about men. They're wrong in their insistence that with female vulnerability, men will rise to responsibility, while without it, men will invariably sink down to drifting, predatory fecklessness. While it is absolutely true that we've raised men to believe that their worth is contingent on how well they take of vulnerable women, it's also undeniably true that traditional gender roles have exacted an enormous cost from men.
Male privilege is not a guarantor of either happiness or health, and trying desperately to play the part of protector and provider has robbed generations of men of both. Feminism, in concert with these many new and exciting reproductive and contraceptive technologies, offers men a chance to rethink and re-evaluate their worth and their purpose. It offers them an opportunity to be intimate allies with their female partners, to forge relationships based on more than duty and dependency. It gives men a chance to be loved for the wholeness of who we are, rather than solely for what we can provide.
I am so glad that there are voices against the outdated "traditionalist" thinking Hugo cites. To read more about traditionalism and why it is short-sighted, read the full article here.

The First Version of Calligra Released
Take the tour to discover some of the apps of Calligra.
Introduction to Calligra
Calligra is an integrated suite of applications that cover office, creative and management needs. It is the most comprehensive free suite of applications anywhere and we expect the number of applications to grow as the project matures. Calligra offers its applications on both desktop computers and mobile platforms like tablets and smartphones.
The desktop version of Calligra is called the Calligra Suite. Version 2.4 of the Calligra Suite contains the following applications:
Office Applications
Graphic Applications
Management Applications
There are also versions for mobile platforms and these have their own user interfaces suited for touch computing. This release contains two such user interfaces:
New in This Release
We recommend to read the announcement for a full list but the list of improvements is impressive: two new applications, a totally rewritten text layout engine, improved Microsoft filters and a new user interface for tablets and mobile devices.
Calligra is unique among the free application suites in two ways: it is the only one to have a serious offering on mobile and touch based devices. This makes it right from the start an important member of the family of free office suites. It is also unique in that it contains creative applications. No other application suite packages a painting application and a high-level vector drawing application.
We are convinced that Calligra will continue to grow and mature and become a truly outstanding suite.

This is very exciting, I can't wait to try it.
By Anonymous at Thu, 2012/04/12 - 10:12pm
Great news, But site is down... (13.04.2012 11:14 GMT -1)
I am specially excited to try out Braindumpnote.
By Anonymous at Fri, 2012/04/13 - 9:17am
yup, site down for me too
The site is down for me too, I guess they're having a lot more traffic than usual.
And yes, braindumpnote is exciting - there's still a lot to do in the UI department but the basics are very cool and due to the framework it's build upon it can do a lot already.
The idea of Calligra being 'the webkit of office', which is how the developers describe it, is a very interesting one. It would be interesting to see more third parties attempt to build an custom UI on top of the Calligra core.

How do you know when a teacher is doing a good job? Are schools doing enough to insure that we have effective teachers and that we're supporting them? These questions are on the table in school districts nationwide as debates over teacher evaluation policies heat up. Most Americans say they have confidence in public school teachers, but most also think teacher preparation programs need more rigorous entrance requirements, and about half want student test scores counted as part of a teacher's job evaluation.
In fact, studies of parents, teachers, principals, students and the broader public -- research conducted by my organization, Public Agenda, and the Kettering Foundation, Ed Sector and other independent groups -- suggest it's time for a more inclusive and nuanced conversation about what good teaching is and how we judge, nurture and support it.
Nearly everyone has had at least one or two spectacular teachers along the way. Most of us can also think of a teacher or two who was monotonous and uninspiring, maybe even callous and cold-hearted. But the crux of the teacher quality debate today is whether we have a teaching corps that successfully helps students develop the skills and habits of mind to become educated, competent adults -- adults who can build careers and fulfilling lives, adults who will be good neighbors and citizens.
So, what really counts in teaching? What are the best practices? What kind of training and support will actually produce the teaching corps our kids deserve?
Unfortunately, the research isn't as clear as you might think. Harvard Graduate School of Education professor Jal Mehta suggests that we don't actually have a well-developed understanding of how to train, evaluate and support effective teaching. He believes the field lacks a "widely agreed-upon knowledge base." Moreover, he points out that " training is brief" compared to other professions, and "the criteria for passing licensing exams are much lower than in other fields."
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation must have reached much the same conclusion when it launched a multi-year project videotaping thousands of classroom teachers in action to "better understand what great teaching looks like, and the types of measures that can provide a fair assessment of teaching aimed at helping every teacher be their best."
Sometimes the political debate seems to center almost exclusively on the idea of judging teachers based on student test scores. Teacher surveys show that most see a place for standardized testing in education, but most also consider student engagement in class a better measure of their own performance. An analysis by Public Agenda and the Kettering Foundation suggests that most parents see low test scores as a red flag that something is wrong, but many also question whether good test scores by themselves actually show that children are learning and thriving.
What other kinds of questions should we include in teacher effectiveness discussions? Here are some nominees:
So much of today's teacher quality discussion centers on finding reliable ways to measure how effective a teacher is in teaching skills and how to apply those measures to teachers across the board. Given our limited understanding of the art and science of teaching, this is work that needs to be done.
But in our drive to delineate what we mean by "effective" teaching and to hold schools and teachers accountable, we shouldn't overlook the human dimensions of the job. They may not be as easy to measure, but that doesn't mean they don't matter to kids and schools.

Bouncing off the Walls
by Fiona Bayrock
How's the music in your room? Too much treble or bass? Not enough? Got extra sound bouncing around? Do certain notes always jump out at you? Check the acoustics—the sound qualities of your room.
Whether your music sounds great, barely passable, or downright awful depends on how sound waves behave when they hit different surfaces. As a rule, sound waves are reflected by hard surfaces and absorbed by soft ones, but most materials absorb and reflect high-frequency (treble) and low-frequency (bass) sounds differently.
To improve the acoustics of your room, look first to the largest surface areas—the walls, ceiling, and floor. Wood absorbs bass tones; carpet and heavy or thickly gathered draperies absorb treble; and glass, tile, concrete, and polished stone are highly reflective.
An important acoustic effect to consider in a small room, such as a bedroom, is reverberation. Large, flat, parallel surfaces, such as two walls, or the floor and ceiling, can reflect sound waves back and forth. The reflected sounds may reach your brain while the original sound is still there, but too late for the brain to register the reflected sound as part of the original. The sounds partially overlap in the brain, with the result that you hear them at the same time as a "prolonged" sound.
Reverberation is especially noticeable as extra sound in an empty room. But your furnished bedroom may also reverberate strongly to music of certain frequencies, causing specific notes to jump out each time they're played. Reduce reverberation by making the shape of your room more complex. "The wavelengths of audible sound in air can range from less than an inch to tens of feet," says Dr. Dewey Lawson, a physicist at Duke University. "Ideally, the boundaries of listening rooms should be 'rough' [and] over that whole range of sizes."
Bookshelves with books, plants, or collectibles; a wooden mask collection hung on the wall; posters mounted on foam board; pictures in deep frames; a coat rack; clothing hooks; pillows; furniture of varying heights; chunks of fabric-covered spongy foam scattered across the wall—anything that helps break up large flat wall areas—will help reduce reverberation between walls and contribute to a feeling of full and lively sound in your room.
"Typically, treating only one of a pair of opposite walls will suffice—or treating different parts of the opposite walls," explains Lawson. Increasing the complexity of either the ceiling or the floor will also reduce reverberation between them. Aha! Clutter makes for better acoustics. At last, a scientific reason for having a messy room!
- What causes reverberation? Why does reverberation interfere with hearing a sound clearly?
- What might be another term for reverberation?
- Imagine that a woman with a high-pitched voice is singing in a room. Then she walks into another room that is the same size as the first room. The first room has bare, concrete walls and a concrete floor with a rug over it. The second room has walls with tapestries hanging on them, and a bare wood floor. How would the sound of the woman singing be different from one room to the next? Why? Write a few sentences to explain your answer.

Daily Fantasy Basketball Matchup Heat Chart for 1/8/16
Narrowing down which games to target in daily fantasy basketball is no small task. After all, when you have to consider things such as pace, opponent, days of rest, and numerous other pieces of information, the process can get a bit overwhelming.
The intent of numberFire's matchup heat charts is to make that process a bit more smooth.
Each day here on numberFire, we'll be posting a heat chart up that shows all of this information -- and more -- for the day's NBA DFS slate. This way, you can find all of the info you'd be looking up anyway all in one spot.
The reason we call this a heat chart as opposed to a cheat sheet is that you'll still need to implement your own strategies while filling out your lineups. It won't tell you which players to use from each game, as each of your thought processes will differ here, but it can help you know which teams are ripe for the picking.
To read all premium content, upgrade to a Premium account with numberFire
If you're not a Premium subscriber, it takes just a few seconds to sign up. You'll get access to all of our insider information, game projections, handicapping advice, DFS tools, advanced statistics, and more.

text: We are currently looking at a 16' X 67' Jametowner with what we have been told was a custom floor plan .....two bedrooms and only one bath. I suppose my biggest concern would be lack of value due to the one bath. I've never seen a boat of this size with just one. It does make for a nice open design, but just not sure how much one less bath takes away from the value. Any thoughts?

Local news is our franchise.
The evolution of Bluffton Today and blufftontoday.com continues as we transitioned about 10 months ago from a tabloid-sized daily newspaper to a twice-weekly broadsheet newspaper. Besides the obvious changes to the printed newspaper, our website continues its growth as the place to visit for breaking news, photos from local events, databases, community blogs and lots more.
If you are reading this column in the print edition of Sunday's paper, you may not realize that we have content on blufftontoday.com all during the week and on the weekends that isn't always in the newspaper.
I like to tell people that they need to read both editions of the print edition - Sunday and Wednesday - and visit blufftontoday.com multiple times during the week to keep up with everything going on in our community.
I can give you a couple of examples.
Since we go to press on Tuesday afternoon we can't always get the latest and greatest from Town Council in Wednesday's newspaper.
Not that I am an editor with a huge taste for meeting coverage, but the issues that come from those meetings or decisions that are made at those meetings, is relevant content that you need to know.
Bluffton continues to grow and planning decisions made by Town Council affect all residents - one way or another. It is our responsibility as a local news source to give you as much information as we can. We can do this daily on our website and twice a week in the newspaper.
Our goal is to cover the town of Bluffton like a glove. We don't pretend that Bluffton Today or blufftontoday.com considers Hilton Head Island our main focus. Of course when things happen there that affect Bluffton we care. Traffic and road work to and from the island are examples.
Our Columbia bureau reporter Sarita Chourey keeps her eyes and ears open for news she can report from the capital that impact Beaufort and Jasper counties.
We have stories from Sarita almost daily that can be found on our website. She also regularly blogs. And if there are other issues and stories from Columbia that you would like to see covered, please contact me or Sarita in Columbia. Her contact info can be found on page 2.
Recently we published a story on our website from her that reported news about a Hilton Head Island couple who was renting out their residence and not paying proper taxes. Because of an anonymous tip the tax issue was looked into and the couple was found to be not in compliance with the law.
That story was published on blufftontoday.com on a Wednesday afternoon, the day of the ruling. It then ran in our Sunday edition because we thought it was a good story that brought awareness to an issue.
That same story was reported in the Saturday edition of the Hilton Head paper with a photo of the property in question.
My point here is that if you are not reading our website and our print edition, you could be under the impression that we don't have news of interest to Bluffton and this wonderful Lowcountry area first.
More often than not, Bluffton Today has the news online or in print first. Another great example of this is the recent tussle between the health care systems in regard to the Bluffton Outpatient Center and its certificate of need issued by the state.
Sarita has been leading the coverage on that issue and continues to do so.
Thanks for allowing me today to give you a little bit of what we call context in the news business.
Bluffton Today may have made a lot of changes in your eyes, but one thing has never changed: Our mission to provide you with accurate information about your community.
Editor Kathy Nelson may be reached at email@example.com or 843-815-0800, Ext. 19.

Rick Nash and Bobby Ryan, if they're ever traded, will command sizable returns.
Sitting there, relatively free for the taking, is Alexander Semin.
The former Capital is an unrestricted free agent and, without question, the most accomplished winger on the open market. He's also waiting by the phone.
Semin, 28, is a former 40-goal scorer, but his output has decreased, along with his ice time, the past two seasons. His reputation isn't helping him, either—Semin has a propensity to lose focus and take terrible penalties. Those negative qualifies are amplified, generally speaking, by widespread, low-grade xenophobia when it comes to Russian players.
One team at least considering Semin: the Carolina Hurricanes, who made a splash at the draft by trading for Jordan Staal but have so far whiffed on their stated intent to add a star winger. Zach Parise eliminated them on July 1 before eventually signing with the Minnesota Wild, and Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson reportedly opened negotiations for Nash by asking for Jeff Skinner, which would be borderline insane.
"We would look at Semin on a short-term basis," Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford told the Raleigh News & Observer. "We wouldn't want to get locked in to anything, because we've all heard the stories about him. We do like his skill level. It could be that we could bring him in for a year, get to know him and go from there in terms of considering something longer term."
Rutherford's preference for a short-term deal is understandable. Semin's issues, unrelated to his nationality as they may be, are real. That said, demand for his services should extend beyond the Hurricanes. He might have the best wrist shot in the league, drives puck possession and, through it all, put up 54 points last season. He also has stated interest in playing high-leverage minutes and on the penalty kill—opportunities he didn't get by the end of his time in Washington.
One reason for Semin's availability is that the teams who, theoretically, should make a run at him are at least tangentially in on Nash and Ryan. The Pittsburgh Penguins are one such team, and Semin is interested in joining them, according to Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review—on a long-term deal, though. The Detroit Red Wings are another.
At some point, though, Nash and Ryan's situations are going to be resolved. When that happens, there will still be top-six openings across the league. That's likely when interest in Semin will pique. Based on the reported price of those players and Semin's relative buy-low status, it should've already.

In 1967 Don Holden wrote an article on illustrator Joe Bowler for American Artist magazine.
In his introduction Holden wrote, For the past decade, the pages of our national magazines - fiction, non-fiction, and advertising - have been dominated by photography, not by drawn or painted illustrations.
Holden quotes Joe Bowler: "The illustrators who've really made it can be counted on the fingers of two hands." and, Holden writes, Joe Bowler should know. He's one of the lucky few 'name illustrators' in an age of photography.
"Illustrators have always had endless bull sessions about how to keep up with the latest gimmicks of the few illustrators who've stayed at the top," says Bowler. "What could we think of next? What about the scribbly lines, the splashy acrylic washes with the bubbles, the elegant decorative stuff?"
"What's this art director going to buy next, or that one? It's been like a game of 'Can You Top This?' -- but I could never go along with the gimmicks just to look contemporary. I just wanted to stick to what I knew best."
"I always liked to paint people, and I've always been crazy about the old masters. I'd rather go to the Metropolitan Museum than anywhere else in the world. I guess I'm kind of a square; I still have that need to be a craftsman."
Bowler had more to say - much more. Forty five years later, Joe Bowler is still painting and still has plenty to say! Late last year I had the great pleasure of chatting on the phone with him for a couple of hours. Joe regaled me with interesting and amusing stories... and more than a few words of wisdom.
This week I'd like to share that conversation - and some stunning examples of Joe's work - with you.
The Joe Bowler interview begins tomorrow.

I love peppermint. Christmas time is great for baking with peppermint. My friend makes a peppermint fudge that is to die for, and she only makes it at Christmas, of course. I like to eat as many goodies made with peppermint as I can this time of year, because it's very hard to find the rest of the year.
This minty chocolate chip cookie recipe is the perfect blend of mint and chocolate, making it a great cookie to add to your holiday baking list. I will be making these cookies along with a few other of my holiday cookie favorites, to give to family and friends this Christmas season.
Wintry Minty Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter flavored Crisco
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
Green food coloring (as many drops as you need to get the green you desire)
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 bag chocolate chips
Toss Crisco, sugar, eggs, peppermint and food coloring into a mix and beat until creamy on medium-high speed, then turn off.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt until combined.
Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the flour mixture to the Crisco mixture. Mix on low just until combined. Add chocolate chips and stir just a few times, so as not to break the chips.
Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

Duaringa is located 107 kilometres west of Rockhampton along the Capricorn Highway. The small town is the essence of a small rural community.
Duaringa is the oldest township in Duaringa Shire with buildings dating back to the 1860s and a corner of the local hotel has been preserved to show how early pioneers lived.
The Mackenzie Park has a man-made waterfall and is also home to the rare endemic Duaringa Stringy Bark, known as "Budgeroo" trees. These trees were of great cultural significance to the early indigenous community who used its bark to make rope, baskets and building materials.
Free hot showers and camping amenities are available. Try the hotel for dinner and a drink.

What I miss most about central New England is the diversity and excitement of a big city lifestyle: our old neighborhood was less than an hour's commute to Boston via car or public transit and if we wanted something bigger, NYC was an inexpensive 3.5 hour busride away ➡ faster on days we didn't value our lives and took the Fung Wah, but I digress! 😉
Yesterday I told you we spent the weekend on Miami's South Beach, and by the end of this post I'm sure you'll agree:
We stayed at the Catalina on Collins Ave, a hip and happening street of Art Deco style buildings for which Miami Beach is famous. What a fantastic hotel! Two restaurants open 24hrs:
On Sunday, Maxine's serves Jazz with coffee:
The other 24hr place is The Red Cafe, with seating in the lobby
And outside on informal comfortable couches:
Off the lobby we spied the cutest place to relax after our Saturday shopping marathon:
See the white curtained area in the back? That's actually a queen size bed 🙄 The hotel had them everywhere in the common areas, especially poolside:
There was a second pool (with full bar) on the rooftop, also ringed with beds but you'll have to take my word for it ➡ only a wierdo perv takes pictures of people lounging in/on beds 😉 Instead, I took photos of the rooftop view:
Lest you think we never left the hotel…nay…nay!!! South Beach shopping is akin to Olympic level sport, and Maggie and I are nothing if not well-trained!! 😉 Within an hour of our arrival we set out for Lincoln Road, South Beach's answer to 5th Ave or Rodeo Drive. From Allsaints-Spitalfields to Zara, every high-end shop you can imagine is represented along this gorgeous open-air mall with sidewalk cafes and manicured parks:
We found a Farmer's Market where Maggie bought some unusual ethnic spices and teas!
But even here among the upper crust are signs of the Great Recession:
We did our part for the economy, shopping at Lucky, Express, Rainbow, and a beach outfitters shop called Wings
Armed with my new waterproof beach wallet, we set off for the sand. Along the way, Maggie took a rest in a floating "egg"
As we approached the beach, the weather was cloudy with a chance of doom:
We knew we couldn't stay long….just long enough to snap these pics:
You might say we got a little wet! 😉

A Day in a Life part deux
January 28, 2009 1 Comment
Day 2 of week of keeping track of what librarians or library workers do so we can see the diversity of the jobs we do.
Tuesday January 27, 2009
8:00 – finally got to work. Snowing in MD and for some reason took more than double my normal time to get here.
8:15 – after logging into both my Linux and Windows computers, getting my bottomless cup of Diet Coke I logged into email, Facebook, Friendfeed, Meebo, Staff Intranet
8:30 – updated blog post to include tags I had forgotten the other day (self professed tag whore)
8:40 – checked voice mail
8:42 – posted 3 job positions to Staff Intranet and library web site (made mental note that I must get HR trained so they can do this and not me)
9:00 – Talked to boss and hubby to help me sort out feelings, fears, and concerns.
9:45 – helped reference desk with customer who wanted to move all his Comcast email to Verizon
9:52 – help staff with Horizon Wimba issue
10:33 – worked on email bouncebacks
10:45 – helpdesk ticket regarding suspended hold turned out to be a matter of timing customer tried to suspend hold at the same time a copy was checked in for them
11:00 – phone call with staff member about Firefox 3.0 and new staff desktop
11:15 – helpdesk ticket regarding reformatting page on SI (staff Intranet)
11:30 – hooligans threw snowballs at our 2nd story windows (right behind my desk). Inside joke – our Network Admin every year since he's been at this location has thrown a snowball at the window. First couple of times we didn't catch on that it was him. Now it's just tradition and we humor him by accusing hooligans not him.
11:45 – worded email about ILL request for purchase and vendors we saw demoed the other day – Relais, AutoGraphics, OCLC and SirsiDynix. If I had to pick one right now based on what I saw it would be AutoGraphics even though I went in leaning toward Relais (they just aren't ready but to be honest none of the solutions were there yet).
12:05 – lunch
12:35 – answer a few emails
12:55 – worked on CIL09 slides
1:10 – posted notice to Staff Intranet and IM-ed staff about leaving machines on so updates can run
1:20 – back to CIL09 slides
3:17 – helped staff member with HCL logos and open office – getting staff to understand the concept of opening documents thru a web product is different than thru directory on hard drive
4:00 – head home to play with doggies in the snow

Football Coach Suspends Entire Team For Bullying
High school football coach Matt Labrum has a zero tolerance policy for bullying from his Union High team in Utah, and he didn't back down putting it to use when it came to his attention that a few of his players were bullying kids online.
One incident in particular moved the coaches to action. A few days before, guidance counselors informed the coaches about a student who believed he was being harassed and bullied by football players on an anonymous online chat program called ask.fm — something Labrum and his staff had never heard of before last week. Because the social media website allows users to hurl insults from behind a screen name, there was no way for coaches or counselors to know who was harassing the young man, who is not a member of the football team.
"We said, 'We've got to make a change,'" said Labrum, who met with the student who was bullied on Monday to offer an apology. "We were pretty open with (the players) about what we'd heard. We don't want that represented in our program. … Whoever it is (doing the bullying), we want to help get them back on the right path."
After a stern locker room lecture, the team was asked to turn in their uniforms. They were disbanded and would have to earn their spots back through acts of charity and kindness. Not a single parent complained about the situation and some of the students have spent time performing community service and attending study halls to rejoin the team.
What do you think of this coach's strategy?
I think it is great if it was the football players. My only question is if it is an anonymous site for comments how do we know it was the football players? After the warning they very well could have stopped, if it was them in the first place, and others could have continued. I've never heard of ask.fm in the first place so maybe they can find out who it was?
So many coaches focus on wins and losses and do things to ensure that they'll at least play a game rather than do what's right.
This guy made the point to his team that winning isn't as important as being someone of character and taking responsibility for your actions by disbanding the entire team. Hopefully, the lesson won't be lost on the players who won't be playing this weekend and the players who did it are found out.
Too bad something like this wasn't done in the Brian Holloway incident. That his house wasn't school property none of the school officials could do anything ... but the parents of those kids could! No football, basketball, track, debate team, band, turn in the car/truck keys, cell phone, da beats .. etc ...
If anyone ever deserved a standing ovation, it is this coach. Being an educator myself, I am surprised the administration granted him this power. This would never float here in Texas. Labrum would be the one suspended because the parents would demand it. Unless adults take a firm stand on this disgrace, young people will continue to bully. I would be honored to work along side this brave man.
NOW there's someone who really cares about those kids and the kind of human beings they are going to grow up to be, he's aware of his influence over them and he's going do the right thing with that influence. this story just gave me a little glimmer of hope for the children attending our schools and hopefully other coaches and teachers alike will follow suit what a great example and what a caring person especially for a football coach as most of them really do not care about anything except winning they're games they are usually so willing to just look the other way and obviously this man doesn't feel the same way, I applaud him and i respect him.

Surnames and Family Research Forum
Value in reposting Surnames
In Response To: Re: REPOST SURNAMES AGAIN ()
Hello Cynthia,
First, Congratulations again to you on acquiring the photo of a family member from a ...stranger.
Here, i would like to say that your receiving the photo as the result of an AfriGeneas posting is a beautiful example of what AfriGeneas is all about. Since my participation on AfriGeneas from the mid 1990's I have been on the receiving end of many gifts from persons previously unknown to me .... who are no longer strangers. For my AfriGeneas Angels, far too numerous to name, you know who you are.
It is very unfortunate that you, I and others have family members who can't, or won't see the value of sharing in the quest of seeking out materials in all shapes and forms (documents, photos, stories, etc.) that help to preserve the genealogy and history of our common family connections.
So as you say "repost surnames again" and we should all continue to share our findings, techniques, experiences on AfriGeneas and other genealogical venues with others. We are so much richer for such actions.
Here is a photo of some AfriGeneans at the 2009 IBGS in Ft. Wayne, IN who at one time were strangers to each other in the world of genealogy prior to becoming a part of the AfriGeneas community.
Best Wishes and Continued Success,

^They did explain GUNDAM:
Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assault Module
LOL, that was probably the least dumbest one too...
I wish Gundam OO would have explained Gundam..Unless I missed it...One of the neatest things is seeing how the name "Gundam" is created in the series...

Well most of the Gundams were made of gundarium armor if memory serves, but I think this thread answers those questions (or tries)...

Well, to be fair, Kira never really directly fought the others THAT often after reaching Earth. Even then, every single one of them were unused to combat on Earth at the time too initially. By the time he went up against Athrun, it was just a total RAGE battle, lol.
But yeah...even with all that, it didn't really feel "natural" with Kira, but more forced in just to make things look cooler...with most pilots in UC, their piloting felt more natural and developed as the series went on. Actually, it's weird how ONLY the Freedom is considered to be so legendary, yet the Justice isn't mentioned at all, even when it's the one who took out GENESIS and whatnot, which only adds to my thoughts on the Kira hype being more forced.
I still feel, in terms of pure piloting skill, that Athrun surpasses Kira; doesn't rely on SEED mode so much (only in much harder or desperate situations), is constantly in a melee-oriented MS which inherently require more skill, reflexes, and precision to be able to use effectively, which is also why you never see such MS so widely mass produced as opposed to general purpose or even support and artillery types. Also, unlike Kira, he only lost his MS by blowing them up himself. Only time he was shot down was in a GOUF Ignited on the run from a much superior MS (Destiny), lol.

So far, I would say AGE is the one I most dislike (hate is a strong word and doesnt really describe my feeling towards AGE). Its coz AGEs three generations gimmick that they promoted so much is actually hindering the story from getting more fleshed out. I know that gimmick or theme is kinda important to give lasting impression to the audience (G Gundam with its super-robotesque nature, Wing with five super-powered main gundams & bishies, X with the post-apocalyptic setting, 00 with (again) super-powered gundams & bishies, etc) but if it only hurts the story, like Ive seen in AGE so far, I dont like it at all .

I think they manage to flesh things out quite a bit. After all, it's been about 15-16 or so episodes for each generation (the series itself totaling at 50 episodes).
Sure we don't know virtually everything about each main character or others, but after UC (which did explain a lot, even if after Mobile Suit Gundam and such), you learn that we don't need to know SO much besides what's necessary as the focus is on the characters at present. Until Kio's character plays out to the end, Asemu seems to have turned out better than Flit given how different he is in pretty much every way in the end (wanting to understand the Vagan rather than exterminate them, not being a powerful X-Rounder, but instead becoming just a very good pilot, and so on), thus allowing for a different route in development.
Sadly, that's something Wing, SEED and SEED Destiny lacked a lot of. 00 had it, but it felt like the characters at the present didn't really change a whole lot in exchange.
Unfortunately, that's what the trade-offs tend to be, especially if you only spend 1-2 official series in that specific universe; something the Universal Century has a huge advantage in compared to other series (10 official series in the Universal Century era alone; MSG, 08th MS Team, 0080, 0083, Z, ZZ, CCA, Unicorn, F91, and Victory), allowing for more extra content to come out and all and/or ways to connect them (0083, for instance, being more about the link between the development of MSG to Zeta).

ow a dislike topic, where to start the ranting, so many choices, so little room
I dislike the origional gundam TV series because it's old and outdated in every aspect, but that not it's fault really. Luckily some excellent spin off in both manga and anime form (8th ms team, 0083, war in the pocket, lost war chronicles, etc..) make up for it's defects.
I dislike the second half of zeta gundam and ZZ gundam. They are extremely boring and weak storywise. The caracters are annoying. I stronly dislike the "lets go psycho" stuff, which comes back in just about any gundam series except for the 8th ms team and 0083, but it's the most working on my nerves in Zeta.
A little bit more realism is wanted in the next gundam series.
Zeta's enemy suits are also among the most rediculously looking, in contrast with the good guys suits which go for a more realistic aproach. It's like they didn't know which way to go.
I do not understand what people see it it.
Then there is victory gundam, which was so good that i stopped after watching 2 episodes, Zeta all over again...boring...
