Tesla Motors said on Wednesday that it planned to invest about $2 billion in a large-scale factory to produce cheaper batteries for a mass-market electric car within three years.
The company, which makes all-electric luxury sedans, indicated that it would build the factory in the American Southwest, without specifying where. Nor would it name its partners, who it said would invest up to another $3 billion in the factory through 2020.
Tesla said the factory would allow it to develop and cut the costs of its batteries for its vehicles more quickly, in part by producing finished batteries from metal ore instead of from components. Sales of its Model S sedan, which costs $70,000 and higher, have been constrained by a battery shortage, the company has said.

Adventures with Cordy, September 24, 1976
[Below is days 18 in a series of road trip diary installments. To get the full context, start with Adventures with Cordy: A Road Trip Diary and follow the trail from there. --Amy]
September 24, (Friday)
North through the Adirondack Mountains through beautiful country. It was a nice peaceful drive with the co-pilot napping and the passengers talking as usual, until we crossed a bridge to see a waterfall cascading and the pilot screaming, "We have to see this!" The co-pilot sighed "oh shoot". It developed all we had to do was climb a trail for a mile then ride a boat out -SIMPLE! Doris led the foursome in her usual display of bravery, daring and spirit of adventure. It was, of course, a little disconcerting when the leader covered her head and eyes most of the time, but she said it was only to show that she could walk blindfold through a gorge of only a drop-off of 300 feet.
We finally got on that damn boat. The leader was drenched bouncing through that stupid canyon. Finally we lurched off this thing and boarded a bus that lurched us back to the card shop.
Cordy then took us to another boat, crossing Lake Champlain to Vermont. It was a nice and pretty trip. Jack stayed in the car throughout the one hour trip as he did not want to meet or visit with anyone. Lynn gets a little put out with him sometimes because he is so bashful.
After leaving the Ferry the object was to find a nice Motel. Lynn kept count and we passed 89 beautiful places to stay with all kinds of restaurants connected, but it developed we were going to a place called Middleburg Inn, 200 miles down the road. We finally got there and Cordy's gas tank was empty and Lynn's bladder was having problems. The Inn was not modern so we continued to the wonderful Blue Spruce Motel. Lynn's bladder was having more problems and he very discourteously grabbed the room key out of the proprietor's hand. The proprietor screamed at him but Lynn felt he should check the rooms before renting. Ha.
I think Doris was the driver this day, since she was also referred to as the leader. How funny that she made this spontaneous detour. Now I know where my dad gets it (well, it's true!).
The photo above is the best view we have of Cordy. Obviously, Jack isn't as bashful as Lynn indicates. He's chatting with some other passengers.

Hey there!
If you haven't seen our initial "Head's Up" release, you can (and should) check it out here: http://learn.buildfire.com/product-updates/heads-up-white-label-credit-system-coming-soon
With the new credit system is officially released, we've put together an article outlining some important information you need to know about it.
We put this at the top of the article because, well, we want to be sure you see it :)
For our legacy customers, your current configurations are grandfathered in to make sure that, if you have features that were available under Premium status in the old pricing, but are now under Professional in the new pricing, they remain at only 10 credits. It is important that you DO NOT DELETE OR MODIFY THESE CONFIGURATIONS. If you do, your grandfather status may be removed from the configuration and your app credits will be recalculated resulting in higher pricing per app.
If you do accidentally delete or modify this configuration, too bad!... just kidding :) We can help. Simply contact our success team and they can reset it for you.
Feature Pricing Matrix
Credits are calculated based on the feature set that is included in the configuration to which an app is tied. The following feature matrixes show at which credit level features are included.
As always, let us know if you have any questions.
Here's to your success!

The internet has made global marketing and distribution of products easier than ever and it has nurtured a market for new offerings like Flex and Silverlight that deliver cross-platform rich Internet applications. But against the colorful backdrop of a dynamic industrya spotlight on managed and dynamic code and colorful new toys is cropping up every day for developerslet's not forget the importance of tools that produce fast, lean applications that can be easily distributed and installed with as few dependencies as possible.
Native code remains the core foundation for desktop, client/server, and workstation application development. ISVs and Micro ISVs rely on native code to deliver high-performance packaged software, and the ubiquity of multicore architectures enables programmers with abilities in native languages like C++ and Delphi to drive application development in high-growth industries like healthcare, financial markets, and services and telecommunications. And even when we peel back every dynamic language, managed virtual machine, RIA runtime, or Web 2.0 framework, we ultimately find a native code foundation built with native C++ or Delphi compilers. Native code is the wizard behind the curtain. It will always be in fashion.
A Fork In The Road
The world of application development has bifurcateda recent development wave has been geared toward the browser while the need for application development tied to hardware is growing just as aggressively.
There are many business scenarios where competitive advantage could not be achieved without native code:
- Programs that can run without any installation or prerequisites.
- Projects with a large code base that is in maintenance mode.
- Applications that require direct hardware interaction.
- Systems with proprietary encryption or compression algorithms.
- Industries where low latency and high performance yield competitive advantage
Many feel that Microsoft .NET's performance lags behind native code because of impediments like runtime loads and required assemblies, reliance on JIT compilation for high-speed code execution, and garbage collection. The result is decreased performance and predictability and increased resource consumption, which are not acceptable traits in high performance, data-intensive industries.
Application Innovation
Binckbank, the largest online stockbroker in the Benelux region (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg), has enjoyed great financial success by relying on native code development. The firm has developed a middleware system based on a native code infrastructure that processes 40,000 updates per second coming from 200,000 customers. High performance, security and scalability are paramount in this kind of real-time trading environment along with an application development path that allows them to take advantage of new multicore chip architectures from vendors like Intel and AMD.
The processing speed Binckbank has been able to achieve gives them a comfortable head start against the tripling of trade data volumes predicted for the next decade. Currently one third of U.S. equity trades are done using algorithmic trading. This figure is expected to soar to more than 50 percent by 2010. The flip side is an expected decline of 90 percent for human traders. This means an increased reliance on machines to drive the world financial markets and a demand for developers who can program to these kinds of applications.
In the old days, we had data and a rich GUI desktop interface. Today, we find a major change in where and how we experience rich features. Enterprise application developers feel pressure to bring the richness in content of Web 2.0 applications down to the desktop without bringing latency performance issues along for the ride. As data volumes continue to increase across all industries, it is virtually impossible to be a generalist. Developers need to understand the systems they are programming for and the tools and languages that will allow them to extract the best performance. Significant business opportunities can open and close in less than the time needed just to define a new application in the traditional way. The developers with a solid understanding of native programming and the languages associated with it will be the ones creating innovation and driving policy on a global level.

As many of us prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving this week by gorging ourselves until the simple act of breathing becomes a cardio workout, let us not forget that today is also a special day. Because on this day two years ago, Lenny Kravitz walked around New York City with a throw blanket around his neck—well, practically.
The fashionable rock star was photographed wearing an extremely oversize scarf to keep warm during the chilly East Coast winter, and along with proving that he really can pull anything off (do you really think you'd look this cool?), Kravitz also created a memory that the Internet will always cherish and remember.
No, seriously. It's been two years and people are still tweeting about it (#NeverForget).
Take a look:

I would like to take a moment thank Sarah Palin. I would like to thank her for being a perfect example for my bright and creative 11 year old daughter.
Thank you, Sarah, for helping open a dialog between us to discuss the mockery of pseudo-equality and the men who hide behind a woman, putting her in a leadership role not because she exemplifies the qualities of a leader but because she *is* a woman and their denial of their own misogyny demands they nominate a figurehead with breasts.
Thank you, Sarah, for illustrating so perfectly for my ambitious 5th grader how wrong things go when one participates in spreading ugly rumors and for making my point that what you don't stand up against is just as bad as what you spread yourself.
Thank you, Sarah, for giving my intuitive and perfect girl a glimpse of understanding into how much she could lose if she allows someone else to make her decisions for her - she's already her own advocate for access to sex education, prevention and choice for both herself and for any vicitimized woman/girl who would suffer under your preferred policies on women's reproductive rights, because even a child is horrified at the thought that suffering an attack or abuse could lead to the additional mandatory mental anguish of 9 more months of suffering.
Thank you for being an example of insensitivity in office and inability to empathize with victims of atrocities.
Thank you, Gov. Palin, for being a great example that people in power can make statements opposite of the truth in an effort to put money ahead of global good since she's already understanding that no amount of money made in oil fields can insure the promise of a planet to live on for her future children.
Thank you, Gov. Palin, for being the ideal example of how maliciousness, pettiness, manipulativeness, and viciousness can hide behind an appealing, friendly smile and look and sound a lot like people you can trust.
You've been the best example I could ask for to give her the tools to evaluate the actions of someone and their effects on those around them over how they sound, what they look like, and who their friends are.
As a woman, a mom, a troop leader, a rare disease patient, a volunteer religious educator, a community activist, a believer in humanity, a struggling environmentalist, and most importantly - as a human - I do thank you, but now I want you to go back to AK and stop giving us both nightmares. Please.
-Dawn M., 31, Cedar Park, TX
"And I am especially proud to say in the week we celebrate the anniversary of women's suffrage [that she is] a devoted, a devoted wife and mother of five."
—John McCain introducing Sarah Palin
"If this doesn't resonate with every woman in America, I'll eat my hat."
—Alaska delegate Bill Noll on Sarah Palin
Dear Bill, get ready to eat your hat. —The Eds.

In the search field type "impleCode" and click Search Plugins. Once you've found our product catalog plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking Install Now. After clicking that link you will be asked if you're sure you want to install the plugin. Click yes and WordPress will automatically complete the installation.
Manuaalinen asennus
The manual installation method involves downloading our product catalog plugin and uploading it to your web-server via your favorite FTP application.

- Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu within the WordPress admin.
Automaattisten päivitysten pitäisi toimia sujuvasti; mutta kuten aina, tee varmuuskopio sivustosta kaiken varalta.
If on the off-chance you do encounter issues with the product catalog pages after an update you simply need to flush the permalinks by going to WordPress > Settings > Permalinks and hitting 'save'. That should return things to normal.

UNITED NATIONS - The women towered over the crowd near the United Nations in New York, wearing the colors of the Egyptian flag -- big red bows on their hair and waists, over black and white striped leotards. Black and gold striped trousers covered the stilts that raised them up.
They were just several of the thousands of people demonstrating for or against various governments, a city block away from where the leaders of many of those governments were addressing the UN- during the annual General Assembly.
Opposing sides on Egypt
Amira Abdelhamid said Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi is fighting terrorism in Egypt and around the Middle East. "We need the military right now. We need someone with power to get our land stabilized. We need peace and calm right now."
An opposing voice came from Moustafa Mohammed, who argued against al-Sissi from the other side of a thick steel police fence.
"This man robbed Egypt of power through a military coup two years ago. The United Nations did nothing about it. Mr. Obama did nothing about it. He should not be welcome in the U.N. to speak on behalf of the Egyptian people," Mohammed said.
Iran protesters - backwards and forward
The largest group of protesters paraded an oversized caricature of Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, as a puppet, accusing him of executing 2,000 people since taking office two years ago.
Delaram Ahmady's family left Iran when she was four-years-old. "The United Nations is a place where countries come together to discuss the future of the world, a better place for children and young people to grow up in. It's not a place for Hassan Rouhani and his regime to be given a platform. Countries inside are discussing animal rights and climate change right now. Not brutally killing people. We are into 2015, but the cutting off of someone's hand? As a society, we need to get past that," she said.
About 10 protesters wore light blue rain ponchos - the color of the United Nations - and walked backwards three kilometers to protest the nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers.
Mookie Tenembaum was the artistic creator of the backwards march. "Iran executes people, not agreements. The Iranians have hacked our values. They have hacked the free world," he said.
Slava Kolomiets came to the United States 10 years ago. She wore a bright flower garland in her hair, the traditional dress of her homeland Ukraine. She was protesting Russia's invasion of her country -- and blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Don't kill our children. Go home. Putin, go to Russia. Stop the war in Ukraine," she said.
Some protest voices were heard through silence. Falun Gong used its meditation exercises as a protest against the Chinese government.

Necessary Noise
• Looks at expression of ComK gene, which allows bacteria to take up DNA form the environment.
• Ex. In mouse experiment with glossy and rough bacteria. DNA from dead glossy and live rough bacteria had the ability to take that DNA from surrounding environment and incorporate into their characteristics. SO when mouse dies live glossy bacteria was cultured from mouse. ComK allows this to happen.
• Constitutively expressed gene=gene that's always expressed. Doesn't depend on environmental conditions.
• Phenotypic: Observable characteristics. What genes are expressed.
• Transcription factor: any protein that can bind to DNA to influence (generally activate) transcription of a gene
• Comk protein acts as a transcription factor and is its own transcription factor. It binds to DNA to make more ComK.
• Promoter region: where transcription factor binds on DNA to transcription of DNARNA
• Actually all previous bullets are not always true according to article
Programmed ribosomal shifting goes beyond viruses
• Reading frame=codon being translated to amino acid sequence
• AUG=start codon which defines the reading frame
• Stop codon= translation stops at UGA because there is no complementary tRNA
• Release factor binds to the stop codon.
• Paper talks about release factor 2- protein that binds with UGA, detaches final tRNA from its amino acid. ( RF 1 binds with other 2 stop codons.)
• Paper talks about another means of gene expression by having ribosome intentionally frame shift.
• Example ribosome is moving down the line. At stop codon- ribosome then pauses because no anti codons or release factor 2 match, as a result ribosome shifts forward one base. This gives us a new reading frame.
• Release factor 2 will stop its own translation.
• Ribosomal frameshift is not a mutation just a change to the way the mRNA is translated to the protein.

Kombucha Tea
Kombucha tea is very popular among herbalists and health fanatics alike despite its reputation of displaying some serious side effects. Scientific evidence has not proven that there are health benefits from drinking the tea, but some people suffering from debilitating diseases swear by it. It is believed by some that Kombucha tea promotes longevity, boost the body's immune system and detoxify the body. Originating in East Asia, Kombucha tea has been available in Germany since the early 19th century Known also as tea fungus, Manchurian tea or Kargasok tea; it is made from a few simple components. It is popular in the United States especially with HIV positive individuals and can be made and cultured at home.
Kombucha is formed by mixing sweetened back tea, a yeast culture and a Kombucha mushroom. This causes a fermenting process to begin that produces a new generation of bacterial culture on top of the old that can be skimmed off and given away or kept for future batches. The first component in Kombucha tea is sweetened black tea, made by steeping black tea leaves and adding a generous amount of sugar for sweetening. Several different yeast cultures are used, though the culture may include Candida stellata, and Torula species, among others. Several different types and variations of yeast and bacteria can be grown. Though it is referred to as a Kombucha mushroom, there is not any actual mushroom used. The name was derived from the mushroom like bacteria substance that forms on top of the tea mixed with yeast culture. The fermenting produces alcoholic properties to the tea.
The black tea leaves are steeped in hot water and about one cup of sugar is stirred in and dissolved. The sweetened tea is then left to cool to room temperature. The Kombucha mushroom bacteria starter is added. This mixture is left to steep covered with a clean cloth and undisturbed for approximately one week. A substance resembling a mushroom gathers on the surface, along with what looks like a baby mushroom. The baby mushroom can be skimmed off the top and given to others as a culture to begin their own Kombucha tea, or can be stored to use when the original mushroom substance turns dark brown and is no longer good to use.
Kombucha tea components, including dry tea leaves and liquid capsules have also been made available by different manufacturers in several countries. The product is sold as a dietary supplement in the United States but has not been FDA tested or approved as safe for human consumption.

Brisk, buoyant and gimmick-free, this straightahead quartet date is as unpretentiously satisfying as that first swig of cold beer after a hard day's work. In the liner notes to Mr. Lucky, pianist Harold Mabern proclaims Sammy Davis Jr. to be "the greatest performer ever," and this beaming tribute brims with the innocent insouciance of that Rat Pack era of the 1950s and '60s, when Davis palled around Vegas with Sinatra and Dean Martin and Mabern, now 76, was just entering adulthood.
The lead soloists here, Mabern and tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, are both master craftsmen of underrated artistry, their stylistic conservatism camouflaging their creative refinement of the blues and hard-bop idioms. Joined by their likeminded and frequent cohorts in the rhythm section-drummer Joe Farnsworth and bassist John Webber-on a project dear to Mabern's heart, they set their intuitions on high alert and allow their expertise and shared musical experience to hone their ensemble interplay. As a result, precious few records swing so efficiently and reliably as Mr. Lucky.
Most of the material here is not automatically associated with Davis, who was more of an all-around entertainer than a musician. But on the relatively iconic "I've Gotta Be Me," both Mabern and Farnsworth burst from the gate with joyous energy, while Alexander gradually builds the sort of gusto implied by the song's credo over the course of three solos. Mabern is also ecstatic-his right hand trilling, flecks of New Orleans stride spangled on his Memphis funk-soul-blues-bop amalgam-on "As Long as She Needs Me" and the finger-snapping title track. Sans Alexander, he lets the ballad breathe on "What Kind of Fool Am I?," a somber interlude that reminds us how segregation and accusations of being a racial sellout besmirched some of the luster of Davis' celebrity. But as the album title implies, Mabern prefers to honor his hero with music that puts the wind in your hair and tempts you to engage in a little soft-shoe celebration.

HBO has released a new behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming fourth season of Game of Thrones. The fourth season will finish up the third book, A Storm of Swords, and everyone I've talked to who has read it says it's insane. The talking heads in this featurette reiterate this point and I'm just going to steel myself now for favorite character dropping like flies. The featurette isn't packed with new footage, but there's enough there to hopefully hold you over until the next piece of marketing drops.
Hit the jump to check out the featurette. The fourth season of Game of Thrones will premiere on April 6th at 9/8c on HBO.

The term "cauliflower ear" refers to a condition that occurs when the cartilage of the outer ear is severely damaged or dies, causing the skin to swell and form irregular bumps. Cauliflower ear, also known as an auricular hematoma, is most often caused by repeated trauma to the ear, specifically in contact sports like boxing and wrestling. Auricular hematomas can be cured in a short period of time if addressed in the early stages. Without treatment from a physician, the "cauliflower" appearance can become permanent or cause other complications in the ear.
Significant or repeated trauma to the outer ear can cause damage to the surrounding blood vessels, resulting in an internal leakage of blood. The blood may leak into the tissues of the outer ear, or perichondrium, or eventually form clots that deprive the ear cartilage of essential nutrients, says Michael Hawke, M.D., in "Ear Disease: A Clinical Guide." External bleeding also is likely to occur if a cut or abrasion was left by the initial trauma.
Swelling is one of the first symptoms to appear as blood clots form beneath the skin. Individuals with cauliflower ear typically experience redness and pain around the injured skin, and in cases where the area is left untreated, a more serious infection can develop. A continual buildup of blood clots and pus prevents the healthy flow of blood and nutrients to the cartilage. This causes the cartilage to pull away from the skin, resulting in the puffy cauliflower shape, KidsHealth.org states.
Fluid Buildup
Pus buildup between the skin and the cartilage can occur if the ear becomes infected. When cauliflower ear is accompanied by a cut, the swelling may cause the wound to open wider, leading to a leakage of pus from the ear. In many cases, treatment of cauliflower ear includes the drainage of fluid and foreign bodies, according to the Health section of the New York Times.
Hardened Skin
Foregoing treatment for cauliflower ear increases the risk of developing a permanent deformity. If the blood clots and liquid buildup are not removed, the blocked cartilage will eventually die from lack of nutrients. Dr. Hawke explains that the dead cartilage thickens and hardens into fibrous lumps, losing its natural shape. Once cauliflower ear becomes permanent, it can only be removed through surgical means.
Obstructed Hearing
Excessive swelling of the perichondrium can block the ear canal and interfere with hearing, especially if the cauliflower ear becomes permanent. An athletics training newsletter released by the Orthopedic Institute of Sioux Falls, S.D., mentioned that temporary or permanent loss of hearing following the development of cauliflower ear are also signs that a serious infection has spread into the inner ear.

Short Sales to Get Faster With Fannie, Freddie
August 22, 2012
The Federal Housing Finance Agency announced Tuesday that it is issuing new guidelines that set out to more quickly qualify borrowers and speed up the short-sale process.
Among the new guidelines, home owners with a mortgage backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac will be able to sell their home in a short sale even if they are current on their mortgage, assuming they can prove a hardship. Eligible hardships often include death of a borrower or co-borrower, divorce, disability, or job relocation (such as a job transfer or new employment 50 miles away from their current home).
The new FHFA guidelines also permit mortgage servicers to speed up the processing of short sales for borrowers with eligible hardships without needing additional approval from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
"These new guidelines demonstrate FHFA's and Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's commitment to enhancing and streamlining processes to avoid foreclosure and stabilize communities," FHFA Acting Director Edward J. DeMarco said in a public statement.
Also among the new guidelines:
-- Military service members who are being relocated will automatically be eligible for short sales, even if they are current on their mortgages.
-- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will waive the right to pursue deficiency judgments for borrowers who short sale who have sufficient income or assets and can make a financial contribution or sign a promissory note.
-- Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae will offer up to $6,000 to second lien holders in order to quicken the pace of a short sale. "Previously, second lien holders could slow down the short sale process by negotiating for higher amounts," according to the FHFA.
The new guidelines will go into effect Nov. 1.
The National Association of REALTORS® worked with the FHFA and the government-sponsored enterprises in creating the new short sale guidelines. NAR applauded the FHFA's approval of the guidelines.
"REALTORS® appreciate the FHFA's efforts to increase the number of short sale approvals, which limit the losses incurred by home owners, lenders, the federal government and taxpayers," says Moe Veissi, NAR president. "We hope these new guidelines will allow many more hardworking American home owners that would have previously been denied a short sale to now be approved and avoid defaulting on their mortgage loan."

Monte Carlo, Monaco
Monte Carlo, Monaco ~ When I think of Monte Carlo the first thing that comes to mind is James Bond and the Monte Carlo Casinos.
Monaco is a city-state located on the French Riviera. It is breathtakingly beautiful. The water is the bluest of blues. I felt like I was dropped off in the middle of a fairy tale. You may remember the actress Grace Kelly who married Prince Rainier III in 1955 and became the Princess of Monaco.
This city-state seemed to me to be located on a cliff off the Mediterranean. It's absolutely the most beautiful place I've ever seen; being there was very surreal. Only spending a few hours in Monaco, I didn't visit any of the casinos, but I did get to witness the Changing of the Guards at the Prince's Palace, the official residence of the Prince of Monaco.
Have you heard of the Monaco Grand Prix Formula One race? It is considered one of the most prestigious races in the world. I was fortunate enough to see where the race begins and after visiting Monaco, I truly understand its prestige. While in Monte Carlo, I also witnessed some very exotic automobiles that you don't see just anywhere...
Oh, and in case you're wondering, you can own a studio flat/apartment with 46 sq meters living space for a cool 1.43 Million Euros - you're going to have to do the conversions yourself, but hey call me when you get settled and I'll come visit you!!
One more thing, although French is the official language of Monaco, everyone I encountered spoke English, so no worries there.
Bonjour, Happy Travels!

Synchronicity Space presents Explorers Club, the second solo show in Los Angeles from artist Will Sweeney. The opening reception will be held October 13th from 7 to 10pm with the artist in attendance. The exhibition will remain on view through November 10.
Explorers Club brings together documentation of recent excursions to inner and outer space by Will (previously unseen in the US) original comic art, character designs, and two recent large scale pencil drawings inspired by Bosch, Breughel, 2000AD comic and Michael Moorcock.
The show will also be the official launch of the Captain Mindseye zine, co-published by Will's label, Alakazam and Swiss Imprint, Nieves. It's a 24 page collection of images detailing the adventures of Captain Mindseye, secret agent of the subconscious. The Captain Mindseye box set of six silkscreen prints will also be available in limited numbers.
Will Sweeney is a London-based Illustrator and graphic artist specializing in comics, clothing graphics, animated videos and music packaging. Will has collaborated with a variety of labels/bands/TV shows & publications including: Silas, Stussy, Undercover, Amos Toys, Wonder Showzen, Yo Gabba Gabba, Nieves Books, Beck, Architecture In Helsinki, Birdy Nam Nam and The Wire magazine. He also is known for his comic series 'Tales From Greenfuzz' and the accompanying vinyl toys, and also for Alakazam – his t-shirt and print label. Will has exhibited his work in galleries around the world. In 2010 'The Parachute Ending' music video for Birdy Nam Nam by Will Sweeney & Steve Scott was selected as one of 25 finalists for the YouTube play exhibition at New York's Guggenheim Museum.
PFFR has created a New Yorker style cartoon for the newspaper that is Synchronicity Space's exterior wall. 29 liners I Daily Dose I Car-toons I Daily Dueces will coincide with EXPLORERS CLUB. The caption will change daily, giving insight, learning, and butt humor to our wretch-filled lives. Remember looking over your father's shoulder, as he laughed at Andy Capp? Well, we hate your father.
PFFR is the collective corpse behind such bodular treasures as the televisual Wonder Showzen, Xavier: Renegade Angel, and The Heart, She Holler. This suck-sess is on the shoulders of previous victuals – PFFR has dabbled in other food court options like music (United We Doth on Birdman Records) and the other thing people call "art" (LFL Gallery in NYC, Synchronicity Space in Los Angeles, and then sum).
Synchronicity is an art gallery, but in practice it is so much more. Located in East Hollywood in Los Angeles, its doors are open to a community of contemporary thinkers whose goal is to make thoughtful and intelligent work without limiting themselves to a specific medium.
Gallery hours are Thursday – Saturday, 1 – 7pm.

To put it bluntly, selling is about enabling and encouraging buyers to make the right decisions. The specific situation determines which strategy and tactics are more likely to succeed in getting that decision (or those decisions.) Successful sales professionals automatically know what to do and when to do it. There are two basic situations in which sales professionals operate – the short sales cycle and the long sales cycle. To put it another way, selling is about enabling and encouraging a fairly quick, one-off decision or a series of decisions as part of a more complex process. These two situations call for different approaches.
The Short Cycle, One-Off Decision Situation
This brings out the hunter strategy. It shows itself in different ways, and it shows itself by sales professionals focusing more on certain actions and attitudes than on others:
- They use facts to establish themselves as experts in a particular situation. The sales process is more like advising, suggesting and mentoring to encourage a clear and immediate decision. Facts prove points and can help the buyer to see the sales professional as an expert on whom they can rely.
- They use logic to prove a point, and facts to support that point.
- The conversation, or the presentation, focuses on one problem and one solution, in order to encourage the buying decision, rather than them being part of a much wider "general improvement" or "progression" process.
- The sales presentation is an event leading to a specific outcome – a successful close.
The Long Cycle Complex Decision Situation
Long sales cycle decisions are the kind of situations where the SPIN selling system was established. Huthwaite Research, now Huthwaite International, observed successful long cycle sales professionals, over a number of years, and realized they adopted a different strategy. This strategy relies more on sales professionals:
- Researching more, checking they have the client's situation clear, and have a firm grip on the facts and nuances.
- Reading each situation to get on the same wavelength as the prospect, rather than encouraging the prospect to get on the sales pro's wavelength.
- Allowing the prospect to feel in control of the process, and to see the sales pro as a knowledgeable guide or coach, rather than as an expert director.
- Asking more questions to ensure clarity and completeness.
- Orienting sales presentation materials to suit the prospect's problems, goals, intentions, and needs, to make it easier for the prospect to reach a conclusion and to make a buying decision that they decide fits their situation.
- Using experience and intuition to stay on the prospect's wavelength, and to keep the sales process on track.
- Treating each decision as the next step in a comprehensive process.
The Take-Away
Both strategies have their place. Long-term business relationships begin with a single sale, and that sale can become the foundation of a long and wide-ranging relationship. Some situations are unique, and will not be repeated, so the short cycle strategy is all that is needed. Other situations are more like partnerships, so the long cycle strategy is the appropriate one.
Recruiting sales professionals implies recruiting ones who know how and when to use different strategies. Our strategy focuses on enabling our clients to recruit the right people for the structure in which they will perform.

Jersey travel tips
Advice from our friends in Jersey
Trip planning tips
Kazz Padidar, owner and chief instructor of our supplier Wild Adventures, shares his Jersey travel tips:
"When you arrive, I recommend doing a tour of the island first, all round the outside, to pick up where the secret beaches are, so you can plan where you want to go for the rest of your trip and use your time more effectively. You can join a bus tour to get a feel for the island straight away its much better than just relying on the regular tourist guides. Get out, have a look around and speak to people who really know the island. Theyve always got a better knowledge of where to go."
Jersey accommodation tips
Arthur Lamy, the Blue Badge Guide, is one of our suppliers. Heres his Jersey travel tip for a particularly special place to stay:
"Jersey Heritage lets out some wonderful properties. one of the best is Seymour Tower. Its a mile and a half from shore, so you need a local guide or a fisherman to take you as it can be dangerous. The coastline is rocky with channels between the rocks. You can walk out at low tide but if you get the timing wrong the channels fill with water and you cant get back. But you can book it overnight, theres a gas cooker, solar powered fridge and heating. Its a real cracker I love it, theres no neighbours at all!"
Local art tips
Derek Hairon, director of our supplier Jersey Kayak Adventures, shares his Jersey travel tips for art lovers:
"Plenty of places specialise in local artists, like Art in the Frame in St Aubin. Theres a tremendous amount of art being produced on the island painting, sculpture, pottery you name it! I think this is because the island is small, but its very diverse with lots of different environments and the light is very different because were surrounded by the sea. Each autumn, there is a programme where local artists open their studios and you can go and see them at work. In Liberation Square they put in shipping containers and the artists set up in them so theyre in there producing and selling their wares, including jewellery and clothing."
Local food tips
Derek Hairon, director of our supplier Jersey Kayak Adventures:
"Look out for what we call "Hedge Veg"! If you drive around the island, particularly in the northwest, youll see that some small farmers and home producers will put out food, including fruit and tomatoes. You can stop and buy it you just put the money in a box."
Health & safety
Travel safely with your kids in Jersey
- There is a good hospital in St Helier, although in specialist/serious cases it is likely you will need to travel to the UK for treatment. Make sure your travel insurance covers this.
- Jersey is not part of Great Britain, so it is not covered by the NHS, although emergency treatment is often free of charge.
- Doctors will charge patients for visits this is often around £40, depending on the doctors surgery.
- Take note of local emergency numbers Jersey uses 999 and 112.
Jersey is a very safe destination with exceptionally low crime rates.
Speed limits of 15mph on the 48 mile road network known as the Green Lanes make it ideal for cyclists.
The main concern is the tide. The island has one of the highest tides in the world, with unpredictable swells. Safety varies from beach to beach check how safe your beach is for swimming, and never leave little ones unattended. Beaches are only guarded during the summer season, and some not at all.
All beaches pose a threat at high tide as the water rises quickly and sections of some bays can be cut off so be sure to check the tide times before you visit.
On the other hand, Jersey has some of the cleanest beaches in Europe, and the quality is checked on a weekly basis during the summer months.
Certain attractions, such as the Corbière Lighthouse, can be reached on foot via causeways during low tide. However, there have been serious accidents when the tide has come in or the sea is rough so check with guides or local information points before crossing.

Feed Me Books Friday: Early Edition
Wednesday, November 24, 2010
Tomorrow, we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving at Grandma's house, and we'll be spending time with other branches of our family for the rest of the weekend. My book pick for the week will be the many family photo albums and scrapbooks that come out each year. We will laugh, reminisce, and share some nostalgia. A sense of belonging is vital to emotional development, and what better way to foster it than by creating and reliving wonderful family memories?
If you need an activity to occupy your little ones while you prepare dinner (or when they've lost interest at the table) you might want to check out the latest offerings at We Give Books. I received and email this week reminding me to head over and read a book with B so that another is donated to a non-profit literacy campaign. What an easy way to give! And they've added some holiday themed reading selections to enjoy! Or, check out the Thanksgiving crafts I shared yesterday!
Wishing all of my readers a blessed and beautiful weekend of gratitude, and if you're here in the states, Happy Thanksgiving!
Have a book to share this week? Link it up here! If not, hope you'll be back to share next week!

So when a group of students innocently perform a charm intended to bind them as friends forever, the nightmarish evil is unleashed once again.

Dwayne Johnson to Launch "Badass" YouTube Channel
The collaboration was announced as part of Studio71's new slate of programming.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is bringing his brand of action and adventure stories to YouTube.
The Baywatch star announced Tuesday on Instagram that his Seven Bucks Productions, co-founded with Dany Garcia, is launching Seven Bucks Digital Studios in partnership with digital network Studio71 to bring motivational, entertaining and action-filled content to YouTube.
"Other than my family, social media is my strongest relationship and it's allowed me to connect on a very direct and personal level with fans globally," Johnson said, adding that "the launch of this channel and the collaboration with Studio71 only strengthens our ability to provide the greatest level of entertainment to our consumers on all media platforms."
Johnson's Instagram video summed things up a bit differently, captioned: "Here comes the best, biggest, badass, baldest YouTube channel ever! Ok, maybe not bald 'cause a bald YouTube channel is weird, but our Seven Bucks Digital Studios is shaping up to be awesome."
The YouTube channel will feature videos from Johnson himself as well as projects from digital talent and "action-filled" scripted series.
Added Studio71 president Dan Weinstein: "This partnership furthers our mission to work with the best creators to deliver premium content across all platforms, and we can't wait to launch a YouTube channel that reflects Johnson and everything he and Seven Bucks Productions stand for."
Johnson's new channel is launching as part of a slate of new programming from Studio71, announced Tuesday at the company's NewFronts presentation. Other projects include Text Committee from Matthew Espinosa and Good Mythical Crew, which goes behind the scenes of Rhett and Link's Good Mythical Morning.

Breaking up the Boys Club: Kick-Ass Female Guitarists
- By Sam Hill @tonereport
- March 11, 2016
- 9 Comments
At some point in your life, you may have had a poster on your wall featuring one of your guitar heroes. Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Gilmour, the list goes on. A whole generation of dudes had long curly hair because they wanted to emulate Frampton and Van Halen. We associate iconic instruments with particular artists, such as Old Black, Neil Young's beat-to-hell Les Paul, or Johnny Winter's Firebird. Notice a pattern here? Not a single woman. Guitar playing is now, and historically has been, both dominated by and aimed at men. They get most of the attention. This is understandable due to the sheer number of recognizable male players who have made significant contributions to the music world, but female guitarists should not be overlooked. Too often, women in bands are categorized as "cute" or a novelty, which undermines their talent, musicality, and place in the guitar pantheon. When I was in high school, I played drums for the vocal jazz ensemble. Our group performed at various festivals throughout the school year. On one occasion we were at such a festival. One evening, when we weren't practicing or performing, we listened to a combo from the other side of the state. A girl was playing guitar, and she was amazing. Our guitarist looked perturbed; he couldn't play the way she did. When someone commented on her playing ability he looked off into the distance and shrugged, his juvenile pride preventing him from acknowledging that she was way beyond his level. A lot of people already knew what I learned that day—that someone's talent and ability has nothing to do with gender. But it was an important lesson for young Sam to learn, and I'm grateful for it. From Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Bonnie Raitt, there is a bevy of badass female guitarists worthy of everyone's respect for their approach to the instrument and overall musicianship. While there are many wonder women to choose from, I'm highlighting three of my favorite female six-string slingers from the indie/alt-rock realm.
Bethany Cosentino
Band: Best Coast
Best Coast's dreamy surf pop-rock is fueled by the guitar duo of Cosentino and Bobb Bruno. They weave in and out of one another's lines beautifully like surfers on a wave (you knew that was coming), sounding reminiscent of a band that grew up on the Beach Boys with inspiration from the alternative and grunge acts of the '90s. Like her vocals, Cosentino's guitar playing is at once raw and beautiful, and she relies on some classic and modern gear to get her sounds.
Cosentino's main guitar is a Fender American Standard Stratocaster in limited edition Aztec Gold. When she's not using that, it's a Fender Troy Van Leeuwen signature Jazzmaster, which features a Mastery bridge and vibrato installed by (Mastery bridge inventor) John Woodland himself. To add color, she runs her guitars through a TC Electronic Polytune 2, an Xotic EP Booster, Mojo Hand Bluebonnet overdrive (two-knob version), Wampler Euphoria, Hardwire Supernatural Reverb (used specifically on the Shimmer setting for California Nights), a Malekko 616 analog delay, and an Electro Harmonix Holy Grail Nano that stays on all the time. All of that goes into a Mesa Boogie Lonestar 1x12 combo.
Carrie Brownstein
Bands: Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag
While some younger fans may be more familiar with her work on the excellent Portlandia, Brownstein is one third of seminal riot grrrl/indie rock act Sleater-Kinney. The high energy, socially conscious group made a major impact when they debuted in the '90s. To power her way through punk rock riffs, jagged solos and melancholy melodies, Brownstein uses one of her custom made guitars—semi-hollow T-styles with humbuckers—built by Reuben Cox, who owns the Old Style Guitar Shop in L.A. She also employs Gibson SGs, a 1972 model in particular, or the very SG-like Guild S-100 Polara, as well as a Rickenbacker 425. All of these run through a Boss Blues Driver and DigiTech Whammy into a Vox AC30, a Music Man HD-130 2x12 combo, or both. Brownstein's approach to the instrument is stripped down, and matches the feeling of Sleater-Kinney's immediate, punk rock feel. There are no 20-minute jazz odysseys to be found here; it's in your face and you're going to like it.
Annie Clark
Band: St. Vincent
Annie Clarke, also known as St. Vincent, draws on disparate influences such as jazz, electro-pop, punk and metal when writing her music. She embraces the use of effects wholeheartedly to create complex sonic soundscapes, and her expansive rig would make any pedal hound jealous. Also, she made an album with freaking David Byrne. St. Vincent has used a number of guitars in the studio and on stage, including funky vintage axes such as the Harmony Bobkat and a variety of Kays and Silvertones. After playing various Albert Lee signature models, she received the honor of designing her own signature guitar with Music Man. The St. Vincent signature model is visually striking, with an ergonomic offset body, three mini humbuckers, and a modern vibrato arm for dive bombing. It features a mahogany body and an all rosewood bolt-on neck, and looks amazing in black or the vibrant Vincent Blue, a finish Clark personally mixed by hand.
Continuing through the signal chain, there is a Death by Audio Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe, Boss PS-5 Super Shifter, Eventide Space, Eventide PitchFactor, and Z. Vex Mastotron, all controlled with an RJM Mini Effect Gizmo and Mastermind. For amps, she's been known to use a '70s Fender silverface Princeton Reverb, as well as the venerable Kemper Profiler, a Music Man bass amp, and a TRVR Amplifiers Little Boy and Trinity.
As always, the aforementioned rigs are not meant to be the final word on the artists' gear; like us, they change it up when they feel like it, and the setups could be totally different the next time you catch them live. But that's all part of the fun; an artist inspires you, you snag a few of the tools they're using, and before you know it, they've changed their approach again. It's a vicious, yet fun and entertaining, cycle of madness.
Guitar playing is not just a man's game. So many of our cherished musical artists are women, but far too often, their skills are ignored. They are pigeonholed into being singers, or perceived as appendages to a musical act, shaking a tambourine or dancing while singing backup vocals. And while those things have their place, there are many women who have taken center stage with their guitar and the world is better for it. For heaven's sake, it's 2016—girls are rock stars too. Get used to it. Who are your lady guitar heroes - who inspires you? I hope you've enjoyed this look at some fabulous female guitarists, and if you haven't dug into their music yet, get to it. You'll thank me later.

It's been awhile (like nearly two years!) since I have shared some of Kellie's Second Grade Stories.
If you missed the first one, click here.
The year? 1978.
With out further adieu, I give you: A Friend Is Someone Who....
Posted by Unknown at 1:19 PM
Labels: SecondGradeStories, Silly Things I Do
I love it!!
That is precious.
And I love that you changed the spelling of your name.
I changed the spelling of my middle name because it "wasn't romantic" enough for me (hello, Anne Shirley). It's just plain ole' Janell. I added an "E" -- Janelle. Made more sense. :)
I happen to lurve 2nd grade Kelly and Momma Kellie/Kelli to bits.
This was just precious.
BTW, one of the reasons I named my dtr Jennifer was the loaded possiblities for nicknames and spelling. She's currently trying out "Jeni".
The only nickname I had was in college, when some (mightve been drunk) friend of mine wrote, "Hi, Greth" on the dry erase board on my dorm room door.
soo sweet! I wasn't reading your blog when you posted the first one.. I didn't know what I was missing out on :-P
Love this! Who knew you could change the spelling of your name? I always wanted to change my name to Cynthia. She was the really pretty girl in the second grade that ran around the block like Farrah Fawcett. I so wanted to be her.
Thanks for sharing your second grade work..it's delightful!
There's no way to change Susan, unless you go with Suzun, and that's just not pretty.
So I went by Windy Hill. Yes, "windy"....
I was a romantic from way back.
oh this is just great!!!
What a fun thing to put in a post!! My mom may not appreciate my 2nd grade list to Santa where I said she "wants a pink jogging suit because she's fat" (and oddly at that time she wasn't)...crazy me.
Y'know my sister is Kelli and of course, I LOVE my name w/ an "i" however makers of personalized things do not..they loveth the 'Y'.
I love being your friend!
So funny that you decided on your own spelling of your name. I'm curious...does your mom still spell it "her" way, or has she adopted your spelling?
I did the same thing in high school. Only the opposite. I dropped the "e" from my mom's spelling (Darcie). For the majority of high school I went as Darci. At some point (don't remember when exactly) I reverted.
The lesson to be learned here is pick your battles when dealing with your children. "i" or ie-or really Kellianne-she is a great kid!
Kellie's Mom
I love this. I like brightly colored pictures of happy people on sunny days, too. I should bust out my book of poetry from when I was little. I was always writing. Funny how some things never change, huh? It's just part of who we are.
Great post. :)
That's really cute! And did you put a ... after a friend is? That as well as trying different spellings for your name was very sophisticated for 2nd grade! My favorite is a friend is someone who watches the same shows:) What shows were you watching in 2nd grade?
Actually I think in second grade I wanted to change my name altogether. I can't remember to what...either Lark or Tiffany (hey I was a child of the 80's):-P
All I wanted for Christmas was a name in which I could dot my "i" with a heart. But alas, had to get married to get that opportunity.
I love your friend qualifications-- and am so glad to call you friend :)
Too sweet.
I went through a stage of changing my name too. Mostly it centered on my middle name, Sue, which does not bode well when living on a farm with pigs and two brothers. I often changed it to Renee, because I felt it was much more sophisticated and less ... well, hick-ish.
But by middle school I was tired of people calling me TAN-ya (as in the country singer Tanya Tucker). My name rhymes with lasagna. For whatever reason, no one got that when they saw my name written with an 'A.' (As a sidenote, my mother intentionally spelled it t-A-n-y-a instead of t-O-n-y-a because she feared classmates would call me Tonya the Ton. Apparently, she worried about my future issues with weight? I don't know.) Anywho, by middle school I determined to correct this phonetic atrocity by spelling it T-O-N-J-I-A. I don't know WHY I thought that would help. I guess I was trying to feel European or something. Unfortunately, it just made people call my Tone-GEE-uh. By the end of high school I changed back to the original spelling and moved east where everyone pronounced it correctly, but wondered why anyone give their white kid that name. :)
I'm a wife, mom and blogger;
Coffee drinker, baker, and jogger.
I don't swim in the sea.
Or make potpourri
I like pizza with a good lager.
I'm a c-sections survivor.
The mother, the gardner, the driver;
A maid, and a groomer,
(Have I said coffee consumer?)
I'm not the best, but I try-ver.
I'm the homeschool professor.
And, my desk is a mess-er.
A guitar player who cooks.
A reader of books,
I'm early to rise I confess-er.
From laundry is my constant flee.
My van is chock full of debris.
I mow the lawn,
Walk our dogs in the dawn-
Only after two-cups of coffee.
Like you, I do many things.
But its Christ who gives me the wings,
To press on when life's hard,
Knowing He will stand guard.
His love is what makes my heart sing.
Among titles, no more am I "slave":
For Christ overcame that dark grave,
In Him I am free,
To be who He's called me to be.
And that's the short story of me.
