This is just too cute! I love that print, I've been working in a lot of block colours for my clothes recently, but this makes me want to go shopping for prints! Where did you get the fabric?ReplyDelete
Oh my!! I absolutely love this. Great use of the fabric. You look terrific. And I love the red tights and the turquoise necklace. Perfection!ReplyDeleteReplies
wow what an adorable skirt, the fabric is superfabulous and red tigths are always a great choice to pair with!!Delete
i would love to make a floral fifties dress with bows and flowers, but at the moment i´m without my sewing machine :(
love and kiss,mary
Aw thank you! I made the necklace too - it's folded ribbon.Delete

Oh, it's so cute! I love the colors and especially the decorative hem! The whole outfit is fab!! I'm sewing today too. I'm starting my muslins for the Ooh la la pin up sew along on A Few Threads Loose. I've always wanted to make lingerie but never had the courage to jump in and do it :)ReplyDeleteReplies
That sewalong looks great! I can't see myself wearing a corset though so will just enjoy seeing what everyone else makes.Delete
Fabulous dress. For the gathering you could have used the zig zag over string/dental floss method Gertie posted at the same time. Great for thick fabrics and mega quick.ReplyDeleteReplies
Aha! I didn't see that, thanks for the tip.Delete
Wow, it's so cute! I love the print so much. The outfit really looks nice on you.ReplyDelete
That is one truly gorgeous skirt, and I love the way you've styled it as well!ReplyDelete
Awesome and really funky. It looks super cute on you!ReplyDelete
Super fun! Love those Ikea upholstery fabrics.ReplyDelete
What a neat skirt, this will really brighten up a grey day! I love the geometric print, and the way you've done the pleating arrangement at the top!ReplyDelete
I love the squiggle top stitching, I feel like it pulls the theme of the skirt together really well!ReplyDelete

What a terrific skirt, Tilly! Well done!ReplyDelete
Fabulous skirt! Just love how the pleats bring out the design!!ReplyDelete
Sweet! That simple skirt pattern is so effective- and the fabric suits it. Lovely! I've had a busy 6 weeks at work and fell almost possessed to my sewing machine once it calmed down! I think I've made 4 things in a fortnight with a fifth in limbo awaiting a final fitting decision.... It's my release, clearly!ReplyDeleteReplies
Crikey! I'm looking forward to some sewing weekends once I've got this project out the way. Just pressed send on my draft - nearly there!Delete
Very pretty but dramatic at the same time. Love it with the red tights!ReplyDelete
Wonderful, Tilly! The fabric goes so well with the pleats & as usual you've accessorized it just right. Well done.ReplyDelete
That's such a cute skirt. Too funny, that I actually own this fabric, too. I bought it with the intention of upholstering a chair, but never did. You just made me remembe it :)ReplyDelete

Fun skirt fabric!ReplyDelete
Is your top a Butterick pattern?Replies
I wish I could say I made the top myself but it's just a little knit from H&M. Which Butterick pattern are you referring to? Wouldn't mind some more of these!Delete
Hi Tilly, I couldn't see a matching style pattern on the Butterick site (I checked the OOP section too). But, McCalls OOP M6164 View A looks very, very similar to your H&M top.Delete
Very cute! When I saw thinking in shapes, I just got excited.ReplyDelete
nice skirt, it's a very funny one! I saw the fabric in ikea too and didn't buy it, I'm wondering now : why not?ReplyDelete
Hey, Tilly, I was just wondering if that skirt sits at your natural waist. I made a skirt that sits there and it looks far worse on me than you :) Different body shapes and all!ReplyDeleteReplies
It does - I like fairly high-waisted clothing so made the waistline quite small so it wouldn't slip down to my hips.Delete
Oh it's so pretty Tilly and I love the red tights with it! I'm working on another Ginger skirt at the moment - that skirt is seriously easy peasy to sew! xReplyDelete
Tilly, you look like a cute little dolly!!! Your skirt is seriously cool, what amazing fabric!!!ReplyDelete
That shape is awesome, straight away I was like, is that upholstery fabric? I've used some Ikea fabric in the same way, and just love the stiffness. It's also really great for windy cold days, as a windbreaker!ReplyDelete
I don't have a lot of time at the moment, so I'm slowly plodding through making a no brainer baby patchwork quilt for a friend. It should really be a 'brainer' though, because I've never made a quilt before! xoxoReplies
Its windbreaking qualities will be a bonus!Delete
Fantastic skirt and I love it with the pleats instead of the gather. It makes for such a clean look which is perfect for such a fantastic sharp print. Love it!ReplyDelete
Lovely! And you look gorgeous.ReplyDelete
It's so awesome. Love that fabric.ReplyDelete
That is such a gorgeous skirt Tilly!! Perfectly poufy :)ReplyDelete
I also just wanted to let you know that I am going to be in London for a week in July - if you have time, I'd love to meet up! Or, if you have any ideas of places to visit do tell. Of course we'll be doing the touristy things - as it's my first time there the London eye, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London etc need to be done, but if there are any great vintage/fabric shops I need to visit I'd love to know about them!!Replies
Great! Let me know a bit nearer the time and we can arrange something. The fashion galleries at the V&A will have reopened by then so you must visit that. Liberty and The Cloth House in Soho are a must for fabric shopping... or window fabric shopping in any case - they are really expensive but lots of fun just to look! xDelete
Hi Tilly - awesome! Yes, I'll let you know a little closer to the time, we should have more of an idea of what we'll be doing and when :)Delete
So adorable!ReplyDelete
I love the print on the fabric and adore full skirts.
So cute! I'm addicted to Ikea fabric too. I buy their geometric prints every now and then. I've used it in skirts but it's also good for bags.ReplyDelete

That skirt has a lovely shape. Your photos and styling are great.ReplyDelete
I am currently working on Ikea fabric projects, as well. I'm making dresses for my 2 daughters. I hear you on the difficulty of gathering this fabric. One of the dresses has gathers, but they are in tiers, and the tiers are arced, so the gather ratio is only around 1.4 to 1. Not too difficult.
Claudine (couturearts.wordpress.com)
Ikea fabric is just great to create clothes from and you've done a brilliant job with this skirt. It's super cute.ReplyDelete
That this so cute! I love the fabric, and I love the shape! Well done, Tilly!ReplyDelete
Fantastic skirt - my addiction to ikea fabric has borne out three skirts and a dress! I can't say there won't be more..ReplyDelete
Cool fabric, esp w the red tights!! The main reason I see is to periodically check if there is any function in the right side of my brain :)ReplyDelete
I love it !!! It's really nice and suit you very well. And I like the geometric print fabric. Look forward making one like yours one day (will be perfect for spring!). Thanks for the nice picture.ReplyDelete
I love the poofy-ness of this skirt! So fun! In answer to your question, I'm making a new dress for my doll, a medieval bliaut. Someday I hope to make one for me!ReplyDeleteReplies
I had to google that... now I know what a bliaut is!Delete
Ooh that is SO lovely! I love the pattern and the shape is perfect for your petite frame. Divine! I'm off to Ikea today - I shall be perusing the fabric for sure. I als0 love the obvious fun you're having in the photos - tres cute!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hahaha yes I decided to put some cheery music on so my poses wouldn't look as miserable as they sometimes do!Delete
I'm making skirts but deliberately basic - a black ponte Beignet and a faux leather pencil.ReplyDelete
gorgeous skirt! love the red tights!!! xReplyDelete
Super cute skirt. I think your gathering thread breaking was a blessing in disguise as I recon gathers in that heavy fabric would have been too poofy around your waits - while the pleats are smooth and streamline! Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Such a gorgeous skirt, I love the material!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous20 February 2012 at 14:19
Love your skirt! My first thought when I saw it was--wow a queen of hearts skirt! With the tights it made me think Alice in Wonderland for some reason.ReplyDelete
Lovely skirt, the print is special - plus for Ikea :)ReplyDelete
That necklace is just folded ribbon? Is somewhere a tutorial, how to make it? Because it looks great!Replies
My friend found the necklace tutorial - I'll ask her if she's got the link. Although the tutorial missed a step so she spent 4 hours (seriously - I was there) working out the missing step so we could make them!Delete
Really fun! It's great having a few pieces like this to pop on at a moments notice. I liking the design of the fabric, as well. Time for a party!ReplyDelete
So much fun! I love how much it stands out - it looks like you're wearing a crinoline under it!ReplyDelete
This is such a great skirt and the pattern suits it wonderfully. I might just have to give this one a go :)ReplyDelete
Very lovely! The fabric is delightful!ReplyDelete
Such a great fabric, and love the skirt! Love your necklace too... Where did you get it from? Sorry not sewing related...ReplyDeleteReplies
I made the necklace from folded ribbon. My friend found the tutorial - I'll ask her if she's got the link...Delete
lovely.. i adore upholstery fabrics, they come in such lovely prints, and i love turning them into skirts too.. this type of skirts in particular, is my favorite.. and so easy and fast to makeReplyDelete

Tilly, I'm absolutely in love with this skirt. If I lived nearby I would totally steal it from you. Like you, I also turn to sewing when I need a break from other projects, which right now, is a dress I'm making for a friends wedding.ReplyDelete
Again, bravo on the skirt!
You should model for Kate Spade! Love the skirt and photos - so very cheerful!ReplyDelete
Oh my, honey-pie!!!! What a delight! This is incredible. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if, in a few months time, Anthropologie features an exact rip-off of your skirt in its catalogue! A total stunner. I'm just blogging about you, BTWReplyDelete
You look awesome! I love the skirt fabric of choice.ReplyDelete
I'm kind of obsessed with this skirt now. The print, waistline, colors, colors, pleats, decorative hem...it's perfect! I just happen to be making an old Simplicity skirt that looks a lot like this. Off to find some cute upholstery fabric right now!ReplyDelete
Oh you do look so cute in this skirt! I love how the weight of the fabric makes this shape. I'm going to look at my stash of furnishing fabric in a new light now. Thanks Tilly!ReplyDelete
Pretty! And those are some seriously cute photos, I love your posing. :) I'm working on some odds and ends, the tail-end of winter sewing. A couple of refashions, mostly. :) Sooo looking forward to spring sewing!ReplyDelete
I received my sweet package from you. Thank you so much. Also you look adorable in your new skirt.ReplyDelete
I LOVE THIS SKIRT!!!ReplyDelete
I love the fabric, I never would have thought it was from Ikea. And the hemming is superb. Very nice job :-)ReplyDelete
Super duper cute!! Love the print! I have definitely wanted to buy IKEA fabrics for clothes before! ;)ReplyDelete
Gorgeous Tilly!!!ReplyDelete
I would love it if you took a look at my blog....

Makes 10 servings
This recipe works equally well substituting 3 pounds of peeled medium-sized shrimp for the crawfish. The sauce is also great over spaghetti or rice.
Find this recipe and more in Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen.
¼ pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup canned green chiles, chopped
¾ cup finely chopped green bell peppers
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Chef Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic®
½ teaspoon minced garlic
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
8 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese or other white (preferably non-processed) cheese (2 pounds)
2 pounds peeled crawfish tails
2/3 cup very finely chopped green onions
½ cup cooking oil
20 (6-inch) corn tortillas
how to prepare
In a large skillet melt ½ stick of the butter. Add the onions, green chiles, bell peppers, 1 tablespoon Seafood Magic® or Blackened Redfish Magic® and the minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the cream and bring mixture to a rapid boil; then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the sour cream; with a metal whisk, beat continuously until the sour cream is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add 3 cups of the cheese and stir until melted. Set the sauce aside.
In a 4-quart saucepan melt the remaining ½ stick butter. Add the crawfish, green onions and the remaining Seafood Magic® or Blackened Redfish Magic® . Sauté over medium heat for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cheese sauce to the crawfish mixture and stir well. Simmer until the flavors are well blended, about 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
In a small skillet heat the oil to 325°F. Holding the tortilla with metal tongs, dip each into the hot oil just long enough to soften, about 1 second on each side; drain on paper towels. Spoon about ⅓ cup sauce on each tortilla and roll up tortilla; place seam side down on a heated serving plate. Cover the tortilla from end to end with a generous amount of additional sauce. Then sprinkle it with ¼ cup cheese. For the prettiest presentation, place the enchiladas under a broiler near the flame until the cheese melts and begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Or, bake the enchiladas in a 350º oven until cheese melts, about 5 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.

The London Times reports this morning that Zarqawi and his al Qaeda associates are changing their strategy, due to a "shortage of foreign fighters willing to undertake suicide missions." Relying on "US intelligence sources," the Times says that Zarqawi intends to assemble an actual military force:
Zarqawi wants to turn his group into a more traditional force mounting co-ordinated guerrilla raids on coalition targets.
Al-Qaeda is sending training and planning experts to help to set up the force and infiltrate members into Iraq with the assistance of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the sources said.
The Times writes, keeping a straight face:
The change of strategy will make it easier for Zarqawi to link up with Iraqi insurgents and evade the allied special operations teams trying to track him down.
Yeah, right. Actually, taking the field as an armed force would make it easier for Zarqawi and his associates to be more or less instantaneously killed. File this one in the "too good to be true" category. Or maybe those "U.S. intelligence sources" are engaging in a bit of disinformation.
The Times also notes, as has been reported previously, that the special forces unit that is tasked with tracking down Zarqawi nearly captured him a couple of weeks ago.

Publishers Weekly Review
|Australian author Moriarty, in her fifth novel (after The Hypnotist's Love Story), puts three women in an impossible situation and doesn't cut them any slack. Cecilia Fitzpatrick lives to be perfect: a perfect marriage, three perfect daughters, and a perfectly organized life. Then she finds a letter from her husband, John-Paul, to be opened only in the event of his death. She opens it anyway, and everything she believed is thrown into doubt. Meanwhile, Tess O'Leary's husband, Will, and her cousin and best friend, Felicity, confess they've fallen in love, so Tess takes her young son, Liam, and goes to Sydney to live with her mother. There she meets up with an old boyfriend, Connor Whitby, while enrolling Liam in St. Angela's Primary School, where Cecilia is the star mother. Rachel Crowley, the school secretary, believes that Connor, St. Angela's PE teacher, is the man who, nearly three decades before, got away with murdering her daughter-a daughter for whom she is still grieving. Simultaneously a page-turner and a book one has to put down occasionally to think about and absorb, Moriarty's novel challenges the reader as well as her characters, but in the best possible way.

Consensus Report
Assessing the Human Health Risks of Trichloroethylene: Key Scientific Issues (2006)Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Trichloroethylene, a solvent widely used as a degreasing agent, is a common contaminant of air, soil, and water at manufacturing facilities, military installations, and hundreds of waste sites around the country. Several animal studies and human population (epidemiologic) studies show that trichloroethylene is associated with several health effects, including cancer. To help protect people from potential health effects of exposure to contaminants, risk assessments are conducted to guide policy and risk management decisions. However, there are several scientific issues that make risk assessments difficult and controversial. At the request of an interagency group composed of the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this National Research Council report offers independent guidance on scientific issues related to assessing health risks of trichloroethylene. The report provides detailed findings with regard to what the available studies show about various health effects and how to strengthen various aspects of the risk assessment. The report concludes that, because information on carcinogenic risk and other health hazards from exposure to trichloroethylene has strengthened since 2001 and because so many people are exposed to the chemical, federal agencies should finalize their risk assessment with currently available data so that risk management decisions can be made expeditiously.
Key Messages
- Assuming a mitogenic mode of action for dichloroacetic acid as a rodent liver carcinogen, genotypic species differences between mice and humans suggest that humans would be much less susceptible to liver carcinogenesis.
- Evidence from animal and epidemiologic studies suggests that several reproductive and developmental toxicity end points may be associated with trichloroethylene exposure, including infertility in males and females, impaired fetal growth, and cardiac teratogenesis.
- Evidence from experimental, mechanistic, and epidemiologic studies supports the conclusion that trichloroethylene is a potential kidney carcinogen.
- Information on response variability among humans is required in addition to mode-of-action information to clarify the shape of the low dose-response curve in humans. The mode of action for trichloroethylene as a kidney carcinogen remains unclear and likely involves multiple pathways. None of the existing epidemiologic data is suitable as a primary means of quantifying cancer risks.
- It is not known which human enzymatic isoforms are most efficient at disposing of trichloroethylene and its metabolites.
- Multiple mechanisms appear to contribute to the neurotoxic action of trichloroethylene, and further study is needed to elucidate them more precisely.
- None of the currently available PBPK models considers all possible routes of exposure to trichloroethylene (e.g., dermal) or dose metrics for all potential health end points (e.g., neurotoxicity, teratogenicity). Thus, it is appropriate to consider dose metrics generated from PBPK modeling along with other dose metrics that have been used in the past.
- Pulmonary cancer does not appear to be a critical end point in assessing human health risks to trichloroethylene.
- Studies in genetically susceptible rodents have shown that trichloroethylene exacerbates underlying autoimmune disease, and supporting information comes from multiple human studies of scleroderma and exposures to organic solvents. The metabolites and the mode of action involved have not been elucidated, but a role for chloral has been implicated in mouse models.
- The available data indicate that toxic effects of trichloroethylene are likely to change in the presence of exposure to other chemicals, including its metabolites and similar metabolites of other toxicants.
- The committee found that the evidence on carcinogenic risk and other health hazards from exposure to trichloroethylene has strengthened since 2001. Hundreds of waste sites in the United States are contaminated with trichloroethylene, and it is well documented that individuals in many communities are exposed to the chemical, with associated health risks.
- There remains a lack of direct evidence that alterations in the VHL gene initiate renal tumors, but the alterations, especially in protein expression, might contribute to tumor progression.

UNGA68: Statement by Dr. Erkki Tuomioja, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland, at the Inaugural meeting of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, on 24 September 2013
Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen
Speaking on behalf of my country at the Rio +20' conference I stressed that with climate change, "the accelerating loss of biodiversity and current other changes we may, at best, have only a few decades time to reach ecologically, socially and economically sustainable development. No-one can be certain that we can do this, or even if it is possible at all. We need a strong sense of urgency to be able to correctly address our agenda."
I would like to think that this High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development will reflect the needed sense of urgency better than in Rio and that with this accomplishment, the international community will show the needed political will to continuously address the challenge – and opportunity - of sustainable development at the highest possible level.
I expect this Forum to truly advance integration of the three dimensions of sustainable development while recognizing its fundamental link with poverty eradication. Furthermore, governance, human rights, as well as peace and security should be seen as prerequisites for achieving a dignified life for all. An effective review mechanism will be one of the key factors measuring the success of the Forum.
An integrated view into sustainable development calls for an across-the-board look at its financing, as well. In this respect, I am happy that Finland, together with Nigeria, is co-chairing the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts on Sustainable Development Financing. The Committee will look into financing needs, mobilization of resources as well as institutional arrangements to propose effective solutions to facilitate funding for sustainable development.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
To achieve sustainable development it will have to come alive at the level of individuals – through work and everyday living. Green economy is about green growth. The Government of Finland has launched several green economy related political strategies and programmes on sustainable consumption and production, bio-economy and clean technology, to name just a few.
On the global level, our development policies aim at promoting an inclusive green economy which will strengthen human well-being, social equality and social sustainability. The green economy we want to promote is low-carbon, resource-efficient, socially inclusive and creates responsible entrepreneurial activity and decent work and well-being for all. Finland will support, for example, the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) initiative of several UN organizations which supports 30 countries over the next seven years in building national green economy strategies.
We have managed to increase the level of human development in many parts of the world. At the same time our material consumption has multiplied and is reaching its ecological limits.
This is why we urgently need to change our lifestyles – to accomplish high human development within the carrying capacity of nature. Here – in changing our unsustainable patterns - the industrialized countries and economies with high material consumption should take the lead.
In this respect, I would like to underline the importance of the 10-Year Framework of Programmes that was adopted at the Rio+20 Summit aiming at accelerating this shift in all countries. It is a true global partnership in capacity building and facilitating access to financial and technological solutions for developing countries.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
All this boils down to concrete everyday choices in terms of housing, food and transport, for example, and how these favourable, smart changes in consumption patterns could improve the quality of life and create new jobs and business opportunities. Finally, it is not only about economics; lifestyles embrace broader concepts like values, attitudes and social norms. Through this Forum, I hope, we will be able to debate and address these far-reaching issues that matter now more than ever.

Is there any reliable do-it-yourself equipment to convert 8mm film? I have thousands of feet, both mine and stuff my father-in-law took as far back as the mid-1940s.
A lot is junk, but I don't know how I could edit it before it's copied given the age of film.
Any ideas or suggestions?
— Bob Stevenson, Ohio
I know of no DIY 8mm-to-digital converters, and considering how much film you have, I can see why you wouldn't want to take your footage to a specialist. We're talking hundreds of dollars here.
But a specialist will be able to treat your film to keep it from degrading during the conversion process, something that would be hard to do on your own.
If you still want to do it yourself, it'll be tricky, and the results might be unwatchable. You'll need:
-- a camcorder, preferably one that shoots to miniDV tapes
-- a tripod for the camcorder
-- an 8mm film projector (check eBay if you don't have one), and
-- a white bed sheet to project the 8mm film onto.
Project the film onto the sheet. The closer the projector to the sheet, the sharper the image and better the color. Set up the camcorder so that the film image fills the camcorder's frame. Start the projector, start the camcorder and hope for the best.
The problem is the projector and the camcorder will operate at different frames per second. The result: Your movies will have flickering from beginning to end. Also, the 60-year-old camera your father-in-law used probably operates at a different frame rate than your projector, so the 1940s film will appear faster than it was filmed. Not to mention the chances that age will mean that film – or any of your treasures – might be frail and irreplaceably damaged.
Specialists unwind the film at the same rate that a camera is capturing it, so there's no problem with mismatched frame rates — and no flickering. They also adjust the color and contrast on the digital video to make it look its best.
To find one in your area, Google "8mm to DVD" and your hometown and see what comes up.
The more you know about the process, the better your questions will be for any potential service. Start with filmtovideo.com, then choose a place that will:
-- give you a miniDV master copy of your film as well as a DVD from which you can make copies to share with your family (A DVD will eventually die. A miniDV will last much longer).
-- tell you how they will handle film that has broken pinholes. Those are the holes that the projector sprockets use to pull the film through the projector. If they're broken, how do they make sure your movies will still look great?
-- is honest about whether they do conversion work for broadcast. If they do, they will be better (maybe a tad costlier) OR they might see your "small" job as a nuisance that they try to get through quickly so they can get back to the big-money broadcast jobs.
-- do a reel for free so you can see their work. They'll be glad to do it since it'll be their resume to get your business (potentially hundreds of dollars, versus most people who have only a couple of hundred dollars worth of business).
Good luck, and let us know what you choose to do. Though lots of your film might be junk, there are probably some absolute gems in there that you didn't even know you had.
Do you have a tech question? Send a note to Eric Gwinn at email@example.com, or use this formhttp://chicagotribune.com/asktribu. Be sure to include your name, location and a way to reach you if we need more information -- and your question, of course.

Breathing Meditation With Methylphenidate for the Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

In 2004, the Developmental Clinic of the Child Psychiatric Unit at Srinagarind Hospital, had 80 new pediatric cases of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) come for evaluation and intervention. The children were between 7-12 years of age. Most of them were treated with stimulant medication, (i.e. methylphenidate) to help reduce hyperactivity; however, both the parents and children needed special help to develop some techniques for behavioural management.
Meditation has been used as an attention training method for many thousands of years, and was mostly involved with religious or spiritual practices in various parts of the world, especially in the eastern countries. Breathing meditation is a popular method which can be applied to all people without instructions that are too complicated. If meditation therapy, by breathing meditation which is specified to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, benefits this group of patients, it would be very useful, culturally appropriate, cost-effective and would reduce the drugs used which will save the child from drug side effects.

|Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity
|Behavioral: Breathing Meditation
|Not Applicable
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most common psychiatric disorder in children, with an estimated prevalence of 3-7% in school children (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision [DSM-IV-TR]). The major symptoms of this disorder are developmentally inconsistent and chronic levels of inattention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity.
The numbers of patients visiting physicians for ADHD are increasing from year to year. Boys are diagnosed with ADHD three times more often than girls. Although the studies on adolescents are few, the data suggest that about half of the children diagnosed with ADHD will have persistent symptoms into adolescence and some symptoms persist into adulthood.
The symptoms of ADHD, if not adequately managed, will have many life long effects on the patients, families, friends, peers, teachers and colleagues. For the patients, the disorder will impact on patient's academic, social and emotional performance, and behavioural development, leading to poor academic achievement, low occupational status, increased risk of substance abuse and delinquency. More than 30% of children with ADHD repeat a year in school and up to 56% require remedial tutoring.
Drug therapy began in the 1930s; since the 1970s, stimulants such as dexamphetamine, and methylphenidate have increasingly been used as the treatment of choice, but remain controversial. Currently available psychological treatments for ADHD include behavioural training for teachers and parents, and parenting skills classes, behavioural therapy for children with ADHD. Psychosocial treatments are generally combined with medication because each treatment alone has only a partial effect on the core symptoms of the disorder.
Growing scientific evidence, clinical experience and community attitudes are encouraging a shift to more natural and holistic forms of therapy as alternatives or adjuncts to pharmacological approaches in a variety of conditions. Meditation has a wide range of applications, but it is especially useful in treating stress and related disorders to promote calmness and enhance the attentional ability. A psychological oriented definition stated that meditation is a set of attentional practices leading to an altered state or trait of consciousness characterized by expanded awareness, greater presence, and a more integrated sense of self.
Breathing Meditation could be classified as both concentrative meditation and mindfulness meditation. The concentrative ability is first developed at the beginning state and followed by mindful ability.
The studies which use meditation therapy for ADHD are still scarce. In Thailand, Hassasiri A, et al (1995) had developed meditation program for children with ADHD based on Neo-humanist concept which comprised of meditation and imagery . The program was tested in pre-post test design with purposive sampling and yielded the statistical significant different at p < 0.05 (unpublished data). There has never been research about the effectiveness of breathing meditation. We are interested in conducting a randomized controlled trial to study the effectiveness in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Some guests at this year's Vanity Fair party to kick off the Tribeca Film Festival weren't aware there was no sit-down dinner. As the A-listers sipped cocktails and watched the sunset on the portico of State Supreme Court downtown, some were furiously dialing on their cell phones making last-minute dinner reservations and trying to find out where everyone else was going. "We had so much trouble in years past getting peo ple to go inside and sit down, we decided to skip the dinner," one organizer explained. Enjoying the balmy evening were Christine Quinn, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Vivi Nevo, Andre Balazs, Jay McInerney, Jerry Seinfeld and Anna Wintour. Spotted later at Monkey Bar were Ronald Perelman, who underwrote the bash, Graydon Carter, Tom and Kathy Freston, Wendi Murdoch, Google's Eric Schmidt, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff

The Kid Stays in the Picture
This documentary captures the life story of legendary Hollywood producer and studio chief Robert Evans. The first actor to ever to run a film studio, Robert Evans' film career started in 1956, poolside at the Beverly Hills Hotel. His good looks, charm and overwhelming confidence captured the eye of screen legend Norma Shearer, who offered him a film role. After a glamorous--but short-lived--career as a movie star, Evans tried out producing. At the age of 34, with no producing credits to his name, he landed a job as chief of production at Paramount Pictures. Evans ran the studio from 1966-1974. During his tenure, he was responsible for such revolutionary films as The Godfather, Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, The Odd Couple, Harold and Maude and Chinatown. By the early '80s, the Golden Boy of Hollywood was losing his luster. After a failed marriage to Ali MacGraw, a cocaine bust and rumored involvement with the Cotton Club murder, he disappeared into near-obscurity. Only through tremendous will and uncanny luck did he once again rise as the kid who stays in the picture.

Behold the newest "retro" Michigan Basketball wallpaper
Behold the newest "retro" Michigan Basketball wallpaper
A recent post about the lack of Michigan Basketball wallpapers prompted me to throw my hat in the ring. I too, am in serious need of a computer/iPad background change, so what better way than to help everyone else out at the same time?!
Full disclosure: I am in no way a graphic designer or Photoshop professional, so all you get are my basic skills. This is also my first foray into creating a wallpaper, so if anyone has tips or recommendations, feel free to share.
Have you ever wondered what our current Michigan basketball roster would look like as an old-school 1970s hoops squad? No? Me either. Until I ran across a gem of a photo in the Bentley Library archives...the 1978-79 team photo – complete with feathered hair, a wicked afro, short shorts and high socks.
It was then that I set out on a conquest to mold both that photo and our current player photos into an epic composite that makes me laugh every time I look at it.
After noting that the amount of players and coaches was almost exactly identical to this year's team, I knew I had to take a crack at it. Also, skin colors were almost perfect with the players that we currently have. There was only one extra body in the original that needed to be accounted for...the glorious man kneeling down on the right in the front row. And let's be honest – he just looks so cool that I had to leave him in.
After a few hours of work, below is the final product. I have multiple versions (desktop color/B&W, iPad) at the link below. I'd have to say that my favorite parts are Jordan Morgan with a sweet afro and Mitch McGary with blonde feathered hair. Also, Trey Burke looks really happy despite how tight his shorts are. I did not deal with jersey number changes because of all the shading and angles those entailed.
Special thanks to TheArtTheArtTheArt's football wallpaper for inspiring this piece.

Description: The nakiri usuba is a traditional Japanese knife form ideal for chopping fruit and vegetables. The edge is double beveled, like a Western knife. Though sometimes called a vegetable cleaver, the thin edge geometry makes it a precision tool, rather than a Japanese equivalent to a meat cleaver.
Kobayashi-san, purveyor to the Imperial Court, creates Hocho that are perfectly shaped compositions made from the finest materials. The blade is forged from blue steel #2, among the most prized of carbon steels. This steel has exceptional edge holding and takes a keen edge. The center core is forged between two layers of low carbon steel. The surface is rough ground (kurouchi finish) so that food does not stick to the sides of the knife while slicing. Because the blades are forged from carbon steel, rather than stainless steel, they require minimal additional care to prevent corrosion and staining, but have a far keener edge than their stainless counterparts.
The right-handed 'D' shape handle fits comfortably and securely in the hand and is best used by a right handed user. It is formed from ho wood, the traditional wood for Japanese handles. This wood, which is a relative of magnolia, holds up extremely well in the harsh environment of the kitchen. It is finished off with a black molded ferrule. Each knife is sent in a nice gift box.
Availability: In stock. Usually ships in 1-2 business days

There are times when baseball is so grand, so worthy of awe.
Then there are times when it is so small, so petty.
Like the way it treated the legacy of Marvin Miller.
He died Tuesday at the age of 95, having lived not only a long life, but one filled with great purpose and accomplishment. He should be remembered as one of the three most influential figures in baseball history.
Yet Miller is not in the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.
Why? Because the union chief was too good at his job, and at least some of the men who run the sport still resent the way he dragged them into a truly modern era, kickin' and screamin' all the way.
``RIP Marvin Miller,'' tweeted former Atlanta Braves outfielder Dale Murphy, a two-time National League MVP in the 1980s. ``Never did thank him personally for what he did for me and the Murphy family and for all baseball players. Should have.''
While many have contributed to baseball's long, impressive legacy, three really stand out:
- Babe Ruth, the boisterous slugger who essentially forged the game that is played today. Of course, he's in the Hall of Fame.
- Jackie Robinson, the brave man who crashed through the color barrier to make our pastime truly national. Naturally, he's in the Hall of Fame.
- Then there's Miller, who unshackled the players from a career of servitude to the owners.
He's NOT in the Hall of Fame.
What an injustice.
Before Miller came along, a player was expected to perform at whatever salary the owner deemed was fair. As you can imagine, the figure tended to be one that guaranteed the owner had a steady supply of Benjamins to light his cigars, while the player had just enough money to get by on until the season was over. Then, of course, he could find another job - maybe selling Benjamin Moore paint - to keep food on the table until spring training.
If the players didn't like this arrangement, well, tough. The owners had a most un-American ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court in their hip pocket, the 1922 decision upholding the ``reserve clause,'' which essentially bound employee to employer for the length of his career, unless he was traded or released. There was no real power of negotiation, unless you were one of the biggest stars and could threaten a holdout. Even then, the owners essentially held all the cards.
Miller changed that.
After taking over as executive director of the Major League Players Association in 1966, he made it his mission to get rid of the reserve clause, to ensure that players had the freedom to sell their services to the highest bidder when their contract was up - essentially, like any employee who gets a better offer from another company.
That, of course, led to a remarkable boon in player salaries. In 1967, the average was $19,000 a year. By the time Miller retired in 1982, it had climbed to $241,497. This past season, it was around $3.4 million, and anyone who made a big league roster was guaranteed a minimum of $480,000. Also, largely because of the course he set, baseball remains the only major American sport without a salary cap, though players in every league have benefited from the hefty salaries he unleashed.
Anyone who fights powerful interests on behalf of a just cause is bound to cause resentment and anger.
Miller was no different.
The owners despised him for supposedly cutting into their profits (though that's not really the case, as we'll explain later). The fans grew increasingly impatient with his willingness to take the ultimate step - shutting down their beloved ballparks - to get what he wanted. During his 16 1/2 years on the job, there were three strikes and two lockouts, most notably a seven-week stoppage in the middle of the 1981 season.
``What will resonate was his strong and continued determination to fight for what was right,'' said former big leaguer Tony Clark, now a union executive. ``He was very principled.''
Of course, there will always be critics who choose to portray Miller as the guy who turned a leisurely sport into a cutthroat business, who transformed its players from loyal employees with deep ties in their communities to soulless mercenaries whose only refrain is ``show me the money.'' But those are the same sort of folks who talk longingly of returning to the good ol' days of rotary phones and Atari instead of iPhones and Xbox.
While not glossing over the long vitriol between players and owners, culminating in the loss of the 1994 World Series, both sides have benefited greatly from the largesse that Miller was instrumental in creating. Revenues have skyrocketed from $50 million in 1967 to $7.5 billion this year. So, while the players' slice of the pie is larger than it was before, the owners' chunk of change is off the charts.
As Miller himself said in April in one of his last public appearances, ``I never before saw such a win-win situation in my life, where everybody involved in Major League Baseball, both sides of the equation, still continue to set records in terms of revenue and profits and salaries and benefits.''
What about the fans? Sure, they've had to bear the brunt of increased ticket prices, and the cost of attending a game can be tough on a family of four. But baseball, with the benefit of far more games, remains a better deal than other sports. And there's no denying that it's far more popular than it was when Miller took over the union. Just look at attendance. The average per team in 1967 was just over 1.2 million. This season, it was nearly 2.5 million.
Finally, Miller's most significant legacy might be an era of unparalleled competitiveness - which is the exact opposite of what everyone expected at the beginning of free agency. Supposedly, the richest teams would gobble up all the best players, leaving only a handful of franchises with a legitimate shot at the World Series title.
Not even close.
Over the last three decades, 19 teams have won World Series titles. Only four out of 30 franchises have not made at least one Series appearance during that span (and one of those is the Chicago Cubs, whose demons run far deeper than even Miller's golden touch).
In other words, even the fans owe a debt to Miller.
``We are all grateful for his contributions,'' Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander wrote on Twitter. ``His legacy will live on for generations.''
It's long past time for that legacy to live on at the Hall of Fame.
Only now, it's too late for Miller himself to savor it.
This is one of those times when baseball seems so small, so petty.

RIM (or should we say BlackBerry now) also revealed the BlackBerry Q10 alongside its full touchscreen brother, the BlackBerry Z10 (reviewed here)
With a physical QWERTY keyboard to cater for the old school BlackBerry fans, the Q10 also sports a 2.1in 710x710 display. It shares the same 1.5Ghz dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable storage and 8MP camera as its Z10 sibling.
The Q10 sports a special glass fibre back, which BlackBerry tells us is thinner, stronger and lighter than plastic. Also expect all the traditional Bold features you know and love. The BlackBerry Q10 with the new BlackBerry 10 OS could be the ideal choice for a modern twist on the classic BlackBerry formula.
There's no release date or pricing for the Q10 at the moment, but we'll update you with more info as and when we get it.
Check out our BlackBerry Z10 review and our BlackBerry 10 OS need to know guide.

The Guildhall
The Guildhall has had many uses and lives. The Great Hall itself was built in about 1390 as a meeting place for the Guild of Corpus Christi (a small but powerful group of businessman and gentry).
By the end of the 14th century the corporation of Leicester had begun to meet in the Guildhall. When the Guild was dissolved in 1548 the Corporation bought the buildings.
In 1632 the Town Library was moved into the East Wing of the Guildhall from St Martin' s Church. It is the third oldest public library in the country.
The Great Hall was often used as a courtroom and was also used regularly for theatrical performances, banquets and civic events. It is thought that Shakespeare performed here.
With the growth of the town a new Town Hall was built on Horse Fair and opened in 1876. For the next fifty years the Guildhall was used for several purposes including the headquarters of the local police and a school. Following a major renovation programme it was opened to the public as a museum in 1926.
The Guildhall has a well-founded reputation of being a haunted building and has featured on Living TV's 'Most Haunted'. If you have an interest (and the nerve) to spend an evening in a haunted building, you can take part in a 'Ghost Watch' at the Guildhall or Leicester Castle. For further information on coming events or to arrange private bookings for a minimum of 10 people, telephone 0116 253 2569.
Venue Type:
Library, Castle or defences, Museum
Open daily: 11am - 4.30pm
Free admission
Additional info
For easier wheelchair access (via side gate to avoid cobbled entranceway), please telephone the museum on 0116 253 2569 prior to visit.
Today, The Guildhall is best known as an excellent performance venue, attracting acts from across the country, and as a museum where visitors can step back in time and come face to face with 'Crankie Gemmie' and 'Emma Smith', two of Leicester's notorious criminals who can be found lurking within the Victorian police cells.

Morgan and Cailin Doherty talk about being part of an
SCU legacy.
Can you explain your family's athletic legacy at Santa Clara?
Morgan: My mother played soccer here when it was just a club sport. I think it became an NCAA sport either the year after she graduated or a few years later. My father played football here for one year as well as soccer. My older sister Kendall played soccer here. My younger sister Cailin currently plays soccer for SCU. I chose to break the mold of the soccer tradition and play volleyball.
Cailin: My family's legacy has been one of commitment, dedication and passion starting with my parents playing sports here at SCU and encouraging us to follow our dreams.
Just how competitive are the Dohertys? Any heated family games growing up?
Morgan: Very competitive. Growing up playing many different sports, we hated losing to one another. Whether it was shooting hoops in the front yard or simply kicking the soccer ball around, we each refused to lose to our other siblings. Needless to say, card games got pretty heated over the years!
Cailin: We are extremely competitive not only in sports but in many life situations. Family bets and games are always a sticky situation and many outside viewers do not understand the extent of our competitiveness. But in the end, it is all out of love.
How do you support each other during season since you are both on campus?
Morgan: My parents have not only been my siblings' and my biggest supporters, but they have also made it an important tradition in our family to attend each other's sporting events. Growing up, we all went to each other's games and at times it did get boring or somewhat routine. However, when it came your turn to play--it was always nice being able to look over and see your family cheering you on, especially your siblings. So it has simply carried on over the years. We started out being dragged along by my parents but now it has become a personal choice to be there and support one another.
Cailin: My siblings and I have always been taught to support one another no matter what. We grew up always attending each others sporting events and cheering one another on. Now that I go to school with Morgan, I go to all her volleyball matches willingly, and she graciously attends my soccer games.
Who is the most athletic Doherty?
Morgan: Tough question to ask such a competitive family. I would have to say I am because I'm not willing to relinquish that title to my brother or sisters. However, I would say the credit definitely goes to my mom and dad for starting such a wonderful tradition not only here at Santa Clara, but also their early encouragement with our participation in sports.
Cailin: The most athletic Doherty would have to be me because I'm too competitive to give that compliment to anyone else.

I hope everybody is enjoying the holiday and not spending hours on tech blogs and sites. At least I do 🙂 and thus this month's list is a short one:
- Working With Static Imports in Eclipse – how to make working with static imports (nearly) as easy as with the normal ones (especially useful for fluent interfaces and "DSLs"), mainly by adding types like JUnit's Assert and Mockito to your favorite imports and setting Eclipse to always generate static imports in the form <type>.*
- 5 things you didn't know about … Java Database Connectivity – it was interesting to learn that JDBC specifies some scalar functions that drivers may support and translate into the DB's language such as "{CURRENT_DATE()}"; for common functions supported by most drivers this should make your implementation more portable
- Four Things to Remember about java.lang.String – a really good one thanks to information on how to compare correctly the same Unicode character/string that can be encoded in different ways with java.text.Normalizer.normalize and Locale-sensitive comparison ignoring optionally unimportant differences such as letter size and accents (using a Collator)

Just got my electric bill.....
Just got my electric bill.....
That is Awsome! Congrats Hogfighter!
Hogfighter, what's you electricity cost per kwh?
Awesome! Those of us with gas guzzlers and cheap electricity are really going to rack up the energy savings. My car does 19mpg premium and I drive 1250 miles per month. I estimated my electric bill will increase $35 a month and cancel out $250 a month in gas!
I used 400Wh/mi, $0.07/kWh, 1250 mi and $4/gallon to get to those conclusions.
In LEAF parlance that works out to 3.6 miles/kWh. I only get ~3.2 in my LEAF, but I drive aggressively. Were you babying the S?
Something is wrong here!
In this case you obtained 818/3000=0.272kWh/mile
With such a consumption and a battery of 85kWh you can reach 312miles!
This is quite much!
My electric--on average--should be pretty close to this rate, and I also have a premium-only ICE, about 1250 mi/mo. Now, I expect to burn through a bit more electricity per mile than the OP, but I do imagine I'll save at least $150/month. Of course, even with that savings, I'll still be spending an obscene amount more per month than I do today when car payment is factored in! This is not a car you buy to save money. It's a car that saves a little money so you feel a little less guilty about just how much you're spending on it. You buy this car because it's absurdly cool and fun and because even waiting for your car to show up it makes you feel excited, special, and--let's admit it--a little bit superior (because hey, you're saving the planet while driving the coolest car ever). :-)
That's fantastic news! Just about what I expected although my electric is only eight cents per kilowatt. If you figure 245 miles for 85 kW, full charge, and then at your $.11 that would be $114 for 3000 miles. What a bargain!
How many miles do you drive a day? I will be driving about 165 daily miles four days per week and that is also going to be 3000 miles per month. That includes my other driving.
my spreadsheet to estimate electricity costs and savings vs. ICE at http://hannelconsulting.com/tesla
my cost about 1/3 of ICE - SoCal Edison not quite so cheap...even with my solar.
My cost exactly also 1/3 of ICE
We have been putting about 1100 miles a month on the Model S and the power bill has gone up about $33 a month.
It has been a mild winter here in the Pacific NW. Only one cold spell and no extended power outages so far but it sounds like our numbers are comparable.
With my BMW's thirst and taste for premium fuel we are saving about $275 a month. (That is driving the BMW very conservatively and the Model S very indulgently.)
I still like the fringe benefits of the Model S more than anything.
MS loves Florida. I'm making rated at 70mph on I95 with the AC on! Sometimes that falls to 65mph if the wind is against me but, still, the car just loves flat warm places.
With that kind of milage, I'd be interested in how your rear tires are wearing. Do you have 21s and, if so, which tires?
An irony: California is the home of TM, and has more MSes than anywhere. But CA really hoses electricity buyers, minimizing the $ benefits of owning one.
Maybe that's why Tesla has focused on filling California full of free superchargers! Now it's time to spread the wealth and let the rest of us enjoy it between the two coasts.
I get 0.054/kWh in Chicago, on average ~ 370 - 400 Wh/mile (in the winter). ~1500 miles per month. Average electric bill ~ 30-40$ per month, compared with my M5 ~$700-$900/month in gas (premium). Now that is savings on huge magnitude. The averages take into account, I tend to be a more aggressive driver than the norm.
@BrianH. Yes, PG&E rates are nasty compared to national average. You should check out the E9-A and E9-B tariffs. You can charge a car off peak for around 4¢ per kWh. Much better than the 29¢ I currently pay for house electricity.
Hey Brian-
Not everyone in California is getting hosed. SDG&E (San Diego) is only .08/kWh (.14 bundled) during off peak hours.
I happen to believe Hofighter's numbers. Florida is optimal for the MS. Flat and warm is the key. Don't forget, a Florida MS got 423 miles out of a single range charge.
@Vern110 Saving around $700 per month will pay for a new battery pack within little more than a year at most.
From then on, 10+ years of saving $700 per month awaits you. Congrats!
@Hogfighter: That's wonderful. Leaves you with that internal glow that you are getting to stick it back to "the man".
10+ yrs at $800/month pays for the whole car!
I'm moving out of the northwest where we have expenisve gas ($4) and cheap power ($0.11 or less). I'm moving to CA where gas is expensive ($4), and power is crazy expensive (some places $0.30).
Most electric power in CA is generated by natural gas. Right now the stuff is dirt cheap.
Yeah, I'm kind of pissed about that. Kind of takes some of the economic advantage out of the equation.
: (
What's an electric bill? We have a 27 kw solar panel system, almost entirely paid for by the federal government (tax credit, USDA grant for farm installation, and business expense deduction). Thank you Uncle Sam.
Our bill to be on the grid is $8.20 per month, but we get about $1,600 per quarter in SRECS, so net over $6K per year from electricity.
At least solar is a viable option for you now!
Sorry to hear that you have to move though.
First full months bill was $44.00 for 2,000 miles. Yeah!!
2.2¢/mi ain't bad! Where are you.
Vern - $700-$900/month for gas? Say $800 and say $4/gallon for premium, that's 200 gallons and at 1,500 miles only 7.5 MPG. That would be outrageously aggressive driving even in a M5! But, you go guy!
Premium 98 octane unleaded is $1.50-1.60 per litre, (about $5.50-$6 per gallon) here in Sydney, Australia. Off peak electricity is 11c per kWh. I'd save around $300 per month - enough to fund just under $17,000 at 6% over 5 years.
Yes, our interest rates are also very high here.
I've got Pilots and I've lost 25% of the inside shoulder on the rears in 800 miles (they are now on the front). I'm at 1800 miles now and need to measure both front and rears across the contact patch again.
@catteldog, Chicago premium gas prices at one time came up to ~$4.90/gal. The 08' M5 mpg rating was 13/hwy, 9/city, I know crazy. Even in my 4d jeep wrangler, still paying ~ $400-500 / month with same mileage.
I have had 2 electric bills since receiving the model S. Unfortunately, this has coincided with my son graduating from college and moving back home (with all his electronics and habit of leaving every light i the house on. My electric bill premium for each month of the two months I have had the car and my son home is almost exactly $100. I am estimating that it is about $75 MS and $25 my son. The 'all in' cost of electricity is $0.14/kwh. I will keep track for many months but for now, this is what it is costing me.
BTW, it's been a cold winter in Philly and my average usage since day 1 is 408wh/mi
I'm running about 306 without test rides and 345 with test rides in Florida. I had no idea my driving style would allow for rated range. That says a lot for Tesla's marketing to actually provide the range they spec.
Drove up I-95 yesterday and on the way back did some testing on Wh/mile. At 70 mph, and 63°, I averaged 296 Wh/mile over five miles:
The ups/downs are going over the flyovers on the freeway.
Yes, I have also had great measured Wh/mi in South Florida. Over the past 9,000 miles, my total average is 319, including many test drives and higher speed commutes.
Made a round trip from San Diego to the Hawthorne Supercharger this past week. Cruise set to 65. Outside air temp 65-70 F. Climate control off. 243.3 miles driven. 244 miles of rated range consumed. Averaged 290 Wh/mi. I'm impressed!
@Ron - I'm averaging 346 - but still only 7 weeks into ownership so a disproportionately heavy right foot. :-)
Just to add my data point: I live near San Jose and the Model S have
pushed me way into Tier 4, thus paying $0.34/kWh to Profit, Greed and
Earnings (PG&E).
I'm saving compared to the gas I used to spend, but not that much.
Unfortunately, all the options (Solar and/or E9-B) require a
non-trivial investment with long-ish ROI - longer than I expect to
stay in the house.
The time-of-use plane E6 would be slightly better, but Schedule EV
is around the corner and _may_ be a better option. As you can only
change once every six months, I'm biting my time for now.
Outside temperature seems to have a larger effect than I previously thought. I don't get near these numbers, but I did notice that on one flat segment of my CA trip I averaged around 300 going 68 mph. The main difference from other flat segments was the temperature. I can't wait for summer.
@Hogfighter -I'm wondering if I had a bit of tail wind help.
$90 / $.11 per KWh = 818 KWh used
818 KW / 3000 miles = 272 Wh/mile
Sounds like about right.
did you factor in conversion loss?
I can't wait for our May-June delivery! I estimate that our electric bill will average $17/mo more, and our net savings will be $100/mo compared to gas for our ACURA RL.
I used to drive a VW Toureg V6, gas mileage was bad. At $4.25/gal I was putting $800/month in the tank because I drive 80 miles a day to work. My car note is $900/month for the Model S, but well you do the math. Save money and drive a that car, hell you gotta be stupid not to consider it. Folks should at least do the math.....
.34/kWh is really high. We only pay $.14 off peak in San Diego. To reduce the large upfront expenditure, have you looked into leasing solar equipment from Solar City? With prices that high it might be worth your while.

Why we're still marching, 50 years later
George Curry | 8/25/2013, 11:35 p.m.
(NNPA) – For a while, it looked like the 50th anniversary observance of the March on Washington would expose a sharp split in the Civil Rights Movement. Al Sharpton jumped ahead of his colleagues by cornering Martin Luther King III and the two of them announced a March on Washington for Saturday. Other civil rights leaders were planning events around that time and complained privately that Sharpton and Martin III had locked up key funding from major labor groups, a primary source of funding for the movement.
A series of high-profile events – the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County v. Holder gutting the heart of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, remanding a University of Texas affirmative action case back to the appellate level for stricter scrutiny and George Zimmerman being found not guilty of second-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of 17-year-old unarmed Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. – left African Americans and their supporters clamoring for an outlet to express their disgust.
Suddenly, the march organized by Sharpton became the focal point. With Sharpton still working on other leaders in the background, urging them to come aboard, the pieces began to quickly fall in place. At this point, it looks like all of the major civil rights leaders – including Marc Morial, president and CEO of the National League; Charles Steele, CEO of Dr. King's old organization, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference; Jesse Jackson, founder of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition; Ben Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, among others – will join Sharpton and King as headliners of the Saturday march.
Of course, there are the usual detractors who argue, as conservative talk show host Armstrong Williams does, that we've been marching so long that we should have reached wherever we were marching to by now.
The reality is that we haven't reached our destination. Black unemployment has been twice that of Whites for the past five decades. The progress made by expanding the Black middle class has been eroded by the Great Recession and Blacks are profiled while walking the streets of New York City or Sanford, Fla.
At a panel at the recent National Urban League convention assessing the progress made since the original March on Washington, Sharpton said, "You say why march about voting? Well, that's how we got it the first time. We did not get voting rights at a cocktail sip, trying to have racial harmony sessions. We got it by organizing and galvanizing and the only way we are going to make changes is by organizing and galvanizing."
Let's not forget that Martin's name became a household word only after marches led by Sharpton, college students and activists around the nation, insisting that Zimmerman be brought to trial for murder.
It's the combination of marching and a specific agenda that leads to change. And while we're on the subject of marches, not everyone marched in the demonstrations of the 1960s. There was not unity among civil rights leaders – Roy Wilkins, for example, was intensely jealous of Dr. King – and many people did not jump on the King bandwagon until after he was assassinated in Memphis and lived thereafter through his I Have a Dream speech and on U.S. postage stamps.

Committee Opinion Number 681, December 2016
(Replaces Committee Opinion No. 520, March 2012)
ABSTRACT: Adverse outcomes, preventable or otherwise, are a reality of medical care. Most importantly, adverse events affect patients, but they also affect health care practitioners. Disclosing information about adverse events has benefits for the patient and the physician and, ideally, strengthens the patient–physician relationship and promotes trust. Studies show that after an adverse outcome, patients expect and want timely and full disclosure of the event, an acknowledgment of responsibility, an understanding of what happened, expressions of sympathy, and a discussion of what is being don...

Los Angeles: Actress Anne Hathaway says she could not play the role of a depressed prostitute in "Les Miserables", as her husband Adam Shulman`s presence on the movie`s set made her very happy.
Hathaway had started shooting for the movie before the couple tied the knot in September, and she had asked her then fiance, Shulman, to stay with her while the shooting was on. However, she later realised that his presence was not letting her get into the character, reports thesun.co.uk.
"About three days into it I realised I was going to have to ask him if he didn`t mind me being by myself because he was making me so happy," said Hathaway.
"I said, `I really need to be a bit more miserable actually`, so he went home and I crawled inside the misery of the character just fine without him," she added.
Directed by Tom Hooper, "Les Miserables" also stars Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. It is slated to release Dec 25.
