Tesla Roadster Battery Upgrade, 330+ Miles Of Range Priced At $29,000
Tesla's long-promised, Roadster 3.0 battery upgrade is now available to order/reserve online!
The upgrade package includes a 70 kWh battery, a 40% capacity improvement over the original pack, which gives the new Roadster about 35% more range.
This estimate is a little down from the first announcement of the program, but should still give the Roadster ~330 miles of AER.
Earlier this year, Tesla took the new battery equipped Roadster for a long distance spin and reported 340 miles of range (with more miles still left to spare).
Tesla explains the $29,000 pricing behind the package:
The price of the battery upgrade is $29,000, including all labor and logistics, which is equal to Tesla's expected cost. It is not our intention to make a profit on the battery pack. The reason the cost per kWh is higher than a Model S battery is due to the almost entirely hand-built, low-volume (only 2 or 3 per week) nature of Roadster battery packs. It also includes additional work to remove, upgrade, and reinstall the power electronics module (PEM.)
Cost to reserve the new battery is set at $5,000, but no installation and timing is still a bit foggy -especially given the slow build out of the packs.
"Place your order today and you'll be contacted to schedule an installation appointment as inventory becomes available. "
Tesla also notes that the old battery packs will be re-claimed as part of the upgrade, and components in some cases will be re-used in other applications.
"All removed battery modules will be fully recycled or reused if possible, and we will reuse many other components from the old battery. Batteries are currently being upgraded in Fremont, CA and we will need sufficient time when scheduling your service to ship and pre-position the needed parts to your local service center. Depending on local service team workload the upgrade will only take a few days once the parts are in place."
No word yet on the cost for the companion aero kit and new rolling resistance tires that were announced as part of the Roadster 3.0 program.

This is price is incredibly affordable, I mean this is really good news. I believe in a few years, Model S battery will cost only $20,000, in 10 years, it would cost probably $4,000, eventually only $1,000, just like computers!
If you "reason from first principles" then you'll find that a cost of $430 per kWh is not groundbreaking and likely will remain high due to Amdahl's law. In the mature auto industry, which sells a 70 million cars a year, raw materials are only 47% of the car's cost. I expect the same will hold true for batteries.
According to this article, tires, which sell in the hundreds of millions, have a raw material cost of only 50%: http://m.truckinginfo.com/article/179354/the-high-cost-of-tires
The Model S battery already costs roughly $20,000.
Probably 50% of the price is the custom mods, etc needed.
So S pack replacement prices should be around $250/kwhr or less as just a switch out as machine built, not by hand.
And I'd doubt an S will need one for 15 yrs or more.
By then likely under $100/kwhr. JBS, Tesla's CTO, said $100/kwhr by 2020 and I believe him.
Electrovaya has the answers…germany/canada
I'm actually surprised they would do this, considering how few Roadsters were actually made, and then knowing only a percentage of those would be interested.
Customer service alone would be sufficient.
It lets all Tesla customers know the best feature of all their vehicles even the old ones is that they get better over time.
Plus it garauntees that cars that are certain to become a classic now the brand is established stay on the road pushing the brand!
or perhaps they just want to stay thank you to those early adopters who had the faith to back them…
Agreed on all points.
I think they would get incredibly bad press if they didn't. From day one they promised to support the Roadster in the future. If they didn't, how secure would you feel about Tesla supporting older cars if they didn't support their pilot production car that changed the industry? I would imagine that pretty much all current Roadster owners will jump at the upgrade, I know several Roadster owners who have been waiting patiently for word on the upgrade ever since Musk announced it.

It's an investment in Tesla's reputation for customer service, which — if my understanding is correct — is miles better than any other auto maker's. But it helps when you deal directly with customers, instead of having dealerships as a middleman; dealerships which unfortunately have a lot of motives for ripping off the customer.
Tesla has Roadsters with batteries still under warranty and they've not been able to do replacements recently.
The PR angle is good, but this enables Tesla to abandon legacy cells.
Any word on the addition of Supercharging? That would definitely make it worth it.
Not heard. 🙁
But it would make a lot of sense, since the pack is so huge, and Roaster Folk were the ones that first helped make all the great things at Tesla Motors possible. They have a lot of respect in the EV Community. Leaving them locked out of SC Access could be viewed as nearly criminal.
Slower DC Charging for such a big pack, would be unpleasant. Same problem for the upcoming GM Bolt. Seems like the $ 30K upgrade should cover the conversion and any compatibility issues with a new 70 kWh pack and the SuperCharger Network.
Supercharging is not offered for the Roadster, per extensive discussions on the topic at the TMC fan site.
The article says that the costs include removing, upgrading and replacing the PEM – that could mean that it may be supercharger enabled.
I would be shocked if 3.0 is not SC compatible. A pack that large and no SC access?!?
I believe this was asked at the announcement, and it was stated that due to pack cooling and power electronics reasons, supercharging cannot be done on a Roadster.
No SC news.
The Roadster already has 19+ kW AC charging capability. (including Tesla's HPWC, High Power Wall Charger)
For the 70 kWh pack, this means 3.5-4 hours for s full charge, an extra hour for the increased capacity (~20 kWh) over what it took previously.
A good comparison is a 24 kWh BEV with 6.6 kW AC charging capability … takes a similar 3.5-4 hours. (eg: Focus EV, LEAF, Soul EV, etc)
Super Charging would have been amazing. So with a 400 mile pack you could just drive 300-400 miles and stay at a Tesla equipped Hotel and charge free over night with a HP High Power and still do long trips.
Not as slick or safe as a Tesla S but very impressive. Maybe a few will show in city driving they can go 500+ miles.
No that is not right. 16.8 kw on a good day is the maximum a Roadster can charge.
In the first place, how are you going to hook up a model S supercharger cord onto the roadster's TSL-01 connector?
It is slated to be changed out in the future, but for a much different reason.
The Roadster will not be able to supercharge but can already charge at 80 amps from a Model S HPWC with an adaptor.
Limitation is 70 amps.

"Any word on the addition of Supercharging? That would definitely make it worth it."
I'm pretty sure that Tesla has made it clear that the Roadster won't be able to use Superchargers, even with the upgrade. I'm not sure what the issues are, but the Model S (and obviously the X) were designed to be charged rapidly; the Roadster was not.
My guess is that there are both hardware and software issues which prevent Supecharger compatibility. Even if the Roadster's power electronics can handle Supercharger current, the Roadster's onboard computer isn't designed to interact with Superchargers.
(psssst.. hat tip)
So $29,000/70KWH = $414/KWH. At the pack level. Not bad.
Hand built, not mass produced… So if there was an economy of scale here, it could have been significantly cheaper.
Well, yeah, but they take your old pack. Then again, all the work done is included in the price. Hard to call.
Less the core cost, ie recoverable cells and power electronics.
It's in pack recovery, where distributed grid might find the economies to take off. Soon, there will be GWh of storage coming out of cars, every year.
If a pack can no longer sustain ~380V, there's no reason what's left can't be converted to 240v, for years more. No?
While not a direct comparison, at $414/kWh it would peg a 24 kWh LEAF pack at ~$9,900.
Since the Roadster pack upgrade is custom hand assembled upgrade, costs need to be taken with some context vs. a production LEAF (~60,000+ built/year).
Its NOT pack level.
It include labour, shopping, trade-in.
Depending on said trade in batter pack could cost more or less then that figure!
I'm wondering if Tesla will collect up any used Roadsters, and start offering Roadster 3.0's with the new batteries already installed for sale on their CPO website. Complete with new extended warranty like the Model S CPO's.
That would be sweet. I did notice that about a year ago, they stopped posting anymore Roadsters on their previously owned website. They used to have maybe half a dozen at any given time posted, then nothing for months since then. Maybe they've been collecting them up in some corner of their factory?
Sounds possible, but I would think it would be difficult to recover the costs of all the upgrades to sell old vehicles as 'new' 3.0s?
Then again, this is more about creating a reputation and making a statement. The profit part of it, is the lower priority, at least, right now.
Technically, Tesla can say they'll have three different models of vehicles on the road by the last quarter of this year. And they can also boast of the new range for the Roadster, over most FCEVs. And their commitment to upgrade even their oldest vehicles to the latest battery technology.
Not a bad PR Effort.
The upgraded roadster will be the new EV range champ. And it will beat the Hyundai Tucson fuel cell vehicle (265 EPA rated miles) as well as the Toyota Mirai (312 EPA rated miles).
Well, yeah, and to think it only cost $108k initially, plus another $29k for the new battery, still seats two instead of 4 or 5, and Tesla hasn't said anything at all about adding SC capability to it. I've also had a Roadster owner on MNL state (in effect) that anyone who wants to take a long trip in one is a masochist, given its ride quality. Great for throwing around for an hour, but you can feel every pebble on the road. That's a question of opinion, as some people have been willing to take trips in them.
Everyone who isn't a roadster owner complains about the Roadster's ride quality.
I had a later 2.5 model (stripped – no options), and one of the things I like was the relative quietness compared to the earlier models, and also the comfort once you were in the car.
Young people (at least the fit ones) have no problem getting in and out of it. I'm not young nor especially fit, but I do do considerable bike riding, which is a prerequisite for an older person to attempt to get out of a Roadster. But long trips for hours on end are absolutely no trouble, as long as you don't have prostate trouble.
The standard leather seats are VERY comfortable, and people who own both an S and a Roadster tell me by far the roadster is the more fun to drive.
THose are the parts of the car I really miss, as well as being to drive long distances without worrying about the battery. But it was a fun-filled 4 years, for the most part, when the car was working.
I have taken my Roadster on several 500 mile road trips and for me it is the most comfortable car I have owned and the one I would prefer to drive. Yes it is not the easiest to get in and out of but for me it is comfortable when inside and a real joy to drive. And that 300 mile pack would make a huge difference on those 500 mile trips. Just wish it did not cost so much.
I guess there is demand for it, but $30k is not any bargain. Especially, since it does not offer Supercharger access.
Pretty sure someone that owns a 2 seat sportscar with low roofline, minimal interior space and literally no trunk has a second car to take long trips in…
330 miles on a charge? That's literally unlimited
Whoever bought a used Roadster recently just got really lucky…..lol
One advantage to long suffering roadster owners is that now, Tesla is doing those early adopters a good turn, even if they never upgrade the value of their vehicles has now increased, since it could be upgraded by a new owner.
+1, and 'early adopter' is an epic understatement, as in those times now mostly forgotten, Tesla as a brand was under-appreciated, at best. I would imagine they took their lumps for their very expensive purchase, what family and friends likely described as an obscure toy from a hopeless start-up.
Yea, early adopter is a very big understatement for the leap that original Roadster buyers took in dropping 100K on a car that the haters were calling vaporware, from a company that haters said would go bankrupt before they even sold a single car.
Wow, this really makes the $5500 cost for a 24kwh leaf battery seem downright cheap! Even if you factor in the $500 installation charged, compared to the Roadster's 70kwh pack, its still $11,000 cheaper.
My best friend used to work for them before the roadster was even for sale. We used to drive around in it with wires hanging out of the dashboard plugged into a laptop sitting on the floor beneath my feet. Those were the days.
7 roadsters for sale on cars.com and ebaymotors, with prices between 55k to 100K.
I remember 6 months before the Model S came out seeing Roadsters on ebay and cars.com with prices in the 40-50K range, and thinking that in another year I would buy one in the 30-40K range with depreciation continuing at the same rate making one "affordable-ish".
That didn't work out too well.
It worked out about the same way as I thought I'd wait until Defender 90's were about 5 years old, I'd pick one up for half the MSRP. 20 years later and I'm still waiting for US Spec Defender 90's that are 1/2 of new MSRP (and aren't basket cases).
Now with this battery upgrade, it is looking like the Roadster will be then next Defender 90, with prices staying sky-high for another decade or more.
Wish I would have bought one certain blue on black roadster that was offered for 45K that was an exact match for what I wanted, but I thought the price was still too high for my budget….
I don't see that the price is going to be pushed up much. It's not like it's a cheap battery, just a better one.
Damn thats amazing
would love to have the roadster
When ever they want to get serious about extending the distance of EV then they need this idea especially with all the new batteries and charging system coming out. NEVER HAVE TO STOP TO CHARGE. airinductionchargingandstoragesystem with 2 battery system go coast to coast without stopping.
If only the Roadster was included in the cost of the upgrade. Just dreaming.
What happened to the 400 miles that Tesla proclaimed 9 months ago?
Yeah, MMF, and the thing that gets me is the number of people who have never owned a Roadster freely disseminate inaccurate information about it. They can't even get the basic specs of the car correct.
I guess 340 miles 'rounded' is 400. How un-GM like where they undereestimated the performance of the new Volt, and now, the new BOlt. So many said both a 50mile PHEV and a 200 Mile BEV was impossible. So now we have a 53 mile PHEV and a 203 mile BEV. And no appologies from those who were so sadly mistaken. Now, the charge current of the PEM on the roadster has NEVER changed, even between transformerless and tranformered models (I can see people going ' HUH?? whats he talking about, hehe). But the experts still can't get it right.
"So many said both a 50mile PHEV and a 200 Mile BEV was impossible. So now we have a 53 mile PHEV and a 203 mile BEV."
The "53 mile PHEV" presumably refers to the gen-2 Volt's EPA AER.
What does the "203 mile BEV" refer to? If to the Bolt, where did you see this? I've yet to see any specific number for a range estimate, so it's definitely interesting.
Wavelet If memory serves the 50 odd Bolts that are being test-driven; I think we've been told that "EPA TESTING" yields roughtly 203 miles. I have no idea regarding charge rate, other than I'd expect the BOlt to have a ccs outlet at least as an option the same way the Spark EV does.
I clearly remembers those people who were bashing me about my questioning of the so called 400 miles upgrade option and claims that Tesla must be right…
I explained about the efficiency required and how it is NOT likely.
Where are those people now?
Tesla won't get my money to upgrade #105 on this program. 330 miles EPA would improve my current range by 100 miles. I can count on one hand how often I would use mile #230-330 in a given year, especially without supercharging. I would have much preferred a new 245 mile range, lighter pack at a lower cost. For what it's worth, including the credit they give for your existing pack, it only costs about $5000 to replace your Roadster battery with an equivalent refurbished pack.
You have a roadster that charges faster than 70 amps? Any screen shot to prove it?
where can you get a refurbished pack for $5000?
Tesla has confirmed that this upgrade is only available to Roadster 2.0 and higher. The first ~500 Roadsters are not eligible for the upgrade. Deposits were taken, but will now be refunded to those owners. A note has also now been added to the Tesla Motors online shop indicating "Available for Roadster 2.0 and higher only."

Anyway, that is not the point. The point is, Rajesh Mirchandani. Here he is:
Time was, we knew him only as a radio 1 presenter for his show called backstage or something, or for the Holiday program and that sort of semi-celebrity stuff. Now all of a sudden, he is everywhere. He has become the BBC's 'midlands' corresspondant. Now, is it just me, or has the midlands just become a news hotspot. I am starting to wonder if he is a criminal mastermind leading and gathering smaller-time rogues to prowl the streets of the midlands and get his face on TV.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the evidence:
1) unusual flurry of activity regarding bombings, raids, terror suspects, bomb scares, evacuations, etc. etc. etc. all taking place in the midlands
2) freak weather. a tornado hits Birmingham.....? Per-lease! I realise I am suggesting here that he has some sort of huge weather machine, and is using it with a callous disregard for property and life, but let us not forget his quest for fame.
3) and most worryingly. Rajesh is always on the scene in a tailored suit, smart shirt, freshly gelled hair, and always always looks pleased with himself.
I rest my case your honour.

Doctors then unravelled the tapeworm, whose length was an astounding 5-and-a-half feet.
According to the doctor-run podcast, This Won't Hurt A Bit, a no-nonsense Fresno man removed a tapeworm from his own rectum and later presented it to the bemused staff of a local Hospital.
Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that a tapeworm known to infect salmon from the Asian Pacific is now present in fish from USA waters.
The best defense is to eat fish that's been adequately cooked or flash frozen. The tapeworm reportedly began to leave the man's body while he was sitting on the toilet.
Dr. Banh said the tapeworm had likely been growing in the man's stomach for at least six months.
A patient at Fresno's Community Regional Medical Center recently came to Dr. Kenny Banh, an emergency medicine doctor, complaining of bloody diarrhea and asking to be treated for tapeworms, Banh recalled on the latest episode of the podcast.
Hospital staff laid the worm over a paper and measured it at exactly 5 ½ feet.
The man's story is making the rounds after it was featured last week on the medical podcast "This Won't Hurt a Bit".
"I looked down and it looked like there was a piece of intestine hanging out of me", Bahn quoted the man as saying.

In February 2017, the CDC announced that they'd found a species called Diphyllobothrium nihonkaiense -the Japanese broad tapeworm- inside samples of wild pink salmon from Alaska.
But aside from the sheer horror of it, tapeworms do not typically do much damage to their hosts.
The good news is that worms - even giant ones - are treatable with de-worming medication.
People sometimes ingest tapeworms intentionally as as a medically dubious weight loss technique, but Banh said the patient reported not losing any weight of late. "Simple treatment, one dose, kills all the worms".
While there are other cases of tapeworm in the United States, those cases are primarily a different genus of tapeworm found in pork and beef.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has released guidelines for controlling parasites that may live in seafood - by cooking the food or freezing it at certain temperatures for certain amounts of time.

a) it was pretty hard to read over the rainy backdrop and
b) Summers fast approaching so it didn't suit today's "weather"
Also added a dp for completeness because every other blog has one too and I didn't =/
Oh man, exam period is fast approaching and everyone's in the rush to prepare for it.

Adelaide uni people get their swatvac one week earlier then SA which is bad and good; depending on what you want to see it. I think it's just.. whatever xD doesn't really matter.
Suppose I haven't really started studying too; since I still have uni, the revision process is starting a bit slower then i thought. gota start building that momentum fast :O
And it's 36 degree's today !! :O

Growing Organic Peppers in Your Own Backyard
Are you a lover of Peppers? If so, then you are possibly aware of the satisfaction of eating peppers that have been freshly grown in your very own garden. It's pretty easy to arrange such a set-up, which will give you organic and healthy hot peppers whenever you need them.
We all know how costly organic food can be and by growing them yourself, you'll definitely be saving some bucks and at the same time, enjoy an activity for family bonding which will help you get closer to your loved ones.
While you are at it, why not get messy and create some pepper and chilli jam. The family will love making it just as much as they'll love eating it! All you'll need is:
- Different sized kilner jars
- Food processor
- Sugar
- Vinegar
- Hob and pan
You can follow this guide by Nigella Lawson to create the perfect Chilli jam.
Start with a Raised Bed
Let's start with why you need a raised bed. The answer simply is that they are much easier to make and use. You can make them simply by using any spare wood. However, if you want something more appealing, then look for a nice container.
If you are a fan of the different types of peppers and want them all, then you'll have to do your research on them all as every single type has some different requirements. These requirements may be as basic as having different water and pH requirements which mean that such peppers cannot grow in the same soil. By using the raised beds, you'll be able to separate the peppers with similar needs.
However, getting a bed doesn't mean that the plants won't need any support. You can give them this support by using simple items such as wooden stakes or frames.
Adjust the PH Levels
We've already talked about the importance of pH levels for growing peppers, so let's discuss it in more detail now. While every plant and plant species has its own requirements, most pepper plants grow well in slightly acidic soil. pH level is divided on a scale of 1-14; with 1-7 being acidic, while 7-14 is alkaline. A "slightly acidic" pH level is to around 5-7, but this may vary depending on the particular species that you want.
For example, Carolina Reaper plant grows well when the soil's pH is near 6.5, but other varieties such as ghost peppers can survive a pH range of 6-6.8. So this means that by using soil with 6.5 pH level, you can easily grow both these varieties on the same bed. But this won't be applicable for a pepper type that prefers a very different pH level – for example, the traditional capsicum which needs 5.5pH. So for such varieties, you'll obviously need a different bed.
So one of the first steps you'll be taking is to check the pH levels of your soil. And what if yours is more on the alkaline side? There's absolutely no need to worry about it as there are a number of ways to fix this problem. The most common one is probably the use of compost, but there are also some much simpler ways such as the use of acidic fruits and vegetables like lemons, oranges or grapefruit.
Make Good Use of Leftovers
Growing your veggies at home gives you the additional benefit of using the organic leftovers for your benefit. For example, you can use the leftovers to create mulch which will both enrich and insulate the soil for your peppers.
Or you can use it to make your very own fertiliser in the form of compost for improving the quality of your plants. You can add acidity to this compost by adding in some lemon leftovers and then using it to adjust the soil's pH levels as per your requirements. Such recycling will be beneficial in many ways as it'll save both your time and money while providing your plants with the rich nutrients they need to grow well.
Go Green
Homegrown peppers offer an additional advantage of being free of contact with any toxic or harmful agent such as a pesticide. This means that your peppers are always healthy and safe to eat. From time to time, you'll also have to supply your peppers with some other nutrients such as good amounts of Calcium in the form of a good quality calcium powder.
Now you might not be in favour of using the calcium powder available at the supermarket because of the additives and preservatives used in them. So look for more natural sources such as the leftover bones available from the local butcher.
These will provide your plants with a pure and rich source of calcium. Another alternative is the use of fish remains to provide the peppers with some Nitrogen. So you can see that these plants are not much different from us humans as just like us, they too need a balanced diet that's rich in nutrients for healthy growth.
Reserve Your Seeds for a Rainy Day
Once you start producing peppers at home, you will have a good amount of seeds at your disposal. While this may tempt you to plant all the seeds, the smart move here will be to maintain a seed bank as a back-up in case anything goes wrong. It's likely that your peppers will go through tough times such as drastic weather changes or perhaps even an infection, and in such times, having a seed bank will be a life-saver. So make sure that you keep a reserve of every type of pepper that you grow, in the shape of its seeds.
This information is aimed at helping you realise that growing quality peppers at home isn't a very difficult task. All you need is some planning and effort and in no time you'll be enjoying the most delicious and healthy peppers you've ever had. And how blessed will you feel when you enjoy the satisfaction that these peppers came from your very own backyard!

DASH and Instrument Panel
This is what it looked like upon start of the restoration process. The little cow is about to lose it's perch. The steering column was already restored during a previous process (see "Steering Column", left) so it was simply removed and stored for the duration.
First order of business was to gut the dash of everything but the wiring harnesses. The A/C evaporator was removed shortly after this picture was taken. Note the parchment color showing around switch holes and other openings, indicating that whoever painted the interior black simply masked around switches, radio bezel, etc.
Started paint removal on the LH side of the dash and A-pillar. The black paint had been simply sprayed over the factory original parchment. In this picture, the windshield has already been removed. Note the parchment around the hole for the fog light switch.
Paint removed on the RH side. Rather than trying to save the original basecoat, the dash was stripped to bare metal, thereby removing any possibility of contamination from the black paint or primer. The stripping process consisted of brushing on the stripper in small manageable areas, letting it sit for about five minutes, then scrapping it off with a plastic squeegee.
Following the stripper, lacquer thinner and #00 steel wool were used to remove the last of paint and primer, as well as any minor surface rust. In this photo, only a small amount of the original parchment remains. Preps for painting then commenced with a prewash of lacquer thinner, masking of the dash, followed by a wipedown with brake parts cleaner and a tack rag. Once it was all checked and declared clean, a coat of light gray lacquer primer was applied.
I gave the primer about 30 minutes to dry after which I checked for any surface anomalies and masking flaws. After a wipedown with Prep-All and a tack rag, I shot the parchment using spray can lacquer paint from National Parts Depot. I sprayed about three coats allowing a minute between coats for the paint to flash. It took just over a half of a can to paint the dash and A-pillars. After 45 minutes, I removed the masking, cleaned the area, and quit for the day!
Reassembly - I thought out this process very carefully regarding what goes in first, what's next, etc. It's tempting to jump ahead because you're excited about what it will look like with certain items installed. Worst thing is having to remove something you so hastily installed. The potential for damage is great! Patience here pays big dividends later on.
Reassembly commenced with installation the switches, the cleaned-up heater control assembly, radio, and the A/C evaporator. I refurbished each assembly as best I could before installation. Since the A/C was void of freon, I also removed the hoses and flushed out the system using brake parts cleaner and compressed air.
Continuing, ashtray, windlace, and dashpad are installed. The maroon dashpad, a repro piece, was very well constructed in all areas except where the defroster ducts and the radio speaker go. Compared to the picture above, the dash appears white - the effect coming from outside light versus a halogen light bulb.
Almost done! The glove compartment, instrument cluster, and steering column have all been reinstalled. Also installed is the windshield, rearview mirror, sun visors (not visible), and console.
COMPLETED! The lower windshield moulding is the final piece installed after the radio speaker and speaker grille. The battery was reconnected and the little cow is back on it's perch.
Kick panels, door panels, carpet (excluding folddown carpet), and seats were not changed. They will remain black until time and funds become available in the future.

Scott County
Contract worker at Toyota dies when motorcycle and SUV crash near plant
A Laurel County man died late Thursday night in a crash near the Toyota plant in Georgetown, Scott County Coroner John Goble said.
Robert Griffin Jr., 33, of London was pronounced dead at the scene at Toyota Gate 7 on Cherry Blossom Way, Goble said.
The crash was between a motorcycle operated by Griffin and a Cadillac Escalade. Griffin was on his way to his meal break from Toyota when the crash happened, Goble said.
Griffin, who was married and the father of twins, was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which happened shortly before 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
Griffin was employed by Kelly Services, which supplies contract workers to Toyota, Goble said.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by London Funeral home in London.

I have heard so much about accents and (fake accents at that) in the past few days that I feel, I must add my two cents to this discussion!
I believe, an accent like a dressing sense is personal.
It can be flashy, fake or funny. Or annoying!!! One can put an accent to impress, to feel good, to fit in or simply because one can't really help it. But all things said, it is a personal thing. I'd rather focus on the words and thoughts behind those words rather than the accent.
And yes, playing the devil's advocate – putting on a fake accent must be quite a Herculean task.
I would love to try the drawl of the Americans or the crispness of the British or the nasal vowel of the French or the sing-song way of the Chinese. I have tried a couple of combinations at appropriate and inappropriate occasions with desirable and disastrous results!
But truth be told, I am quite happy with the amalgamation of the Marathi-Punjabi-Kannada accents, I have acquired over the years. Combine that with the Indian nod and voila! You have a winner!

The name suggests a blend of steroidal connections (Anadrol or Oxymetholone) and growth hormone (GH). Obviously, by the manufacturers own words, it is a legal and safe alternative to both the banned steroid and synthetic growth hormone.
Ana-GH comes in a clear bottle so you're able to see the race-car-red capsules inside. It's a clear message to us that this supplement has been developed with maximum muscle growth in mind.
In fact, Oxymetholone (sold under the name Anadrol) is reputedly one of the strongest anabolic steroids ever used by bodybuilders. If this supplement can replicate the muscle-building benefits of Anadrol but leave out the side effects, then we're in business.
Additionally, if it can also boost growth hormone AND testosterone levels then this could be one of the best bulking supplements on the market today.
We know some Pro Bodybuilders use it. There aren't many stamps of approval better than that. We'll take a closer look at it anyway.
If you've already read this review and/or you're looking for the order page again then we've popped the link in below.
What Is Ana-GH?
Actually, Ana-GH is several things, including a growth hormone booster, a muscle bulking supplement and a weight-gain product. Yes, weight-gain. This is not a diet pill.
That's not to say that Ana-GH itself will directly affect your body weight but it has been developed to encourage your body to pile on muscle mass and to increase your appetite in order to supply the fuel for growth.
Ana-GH is a way to kick-start a bulking cycle. To do this, it employs the following ingredients:
Ingredients – Mass Building Suite
L-Arginine – Increases levels of Growth Hormone naturally and safely allowing you to bounce back from the gym and grow significant muscle and bone density each week. Arginine is also a precursor to Nitric Oxide – a vasodilator that gives you the 'pump' effect at the gym. This is nutrients and blood getting to your working muscles quicker and helping them bulk up.
L-Leucine – The papa of the Branched Chain Amino Acids. Not much is better than L-Leucine at helping your muscles recover and enter an anabolic state post-exercise. It also provides real time energy during exercise because it metabolizes directly inside the muscle. This allows you to workout longer and harder for bigger muscle gains.
L-Isoleucine and L-Valine – The two little brothers of Leucine. The ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine is 2:1:1 because that's the most optimal formulation. Again, they both prevent exercise induced catabolism (muscle break down) and provide a valuable source of energy during workouts.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) – Plays a key role in energy metabolism and combats mental and physical fatigue. Endurance athletes use Acetyl-L-Carnitine to keep going for hour after hour. It prolongs weight lifting sessions, too, so the more you lift, the bigger you'll get. ALCAR can also increase protein synthesis to help you further build maximum muscle tissue.
Other benefits of ALCAR include increased mental focus and elevated usage of fat for energy.
Proprietary Blend – Testosterone Boosting Suite
Maca – Boosts testosterone and enhances sexual desire. Testosterone boost will be very compatible with the Arginine-induced growth hormone increase. The two will help you gain muscle on top of your muscles.
Horny Goat Weed – Another testosterone booster and aphrodisiac which gets you training aggressively in the gym and getting it right in the sack. Also, it helps restore nitric oxide levels and lends a hand on the endurance and stamina front.
What Are The Benefits?
OK, we've talked about most of the benefits in the ingredients section but to summarize, you're looking at:
- Large Muscle Mass Increase
- Faster Engagement of Bulking Cycle
- Elevated Growth Hormone levels
- Elevated Testosterone levels
- Stronger Bone Structure
- Better Mental Focus and Drive
- Lower Body Fat Even With Increased Mass
- Enhanced Mood and Alertness
How Can I Get The Best Results From This Product?
To maintain a healthy bulking cycle, you need to work hard in the gym and eat healthily so you don't put on a lot of weight just in fat. Your body fat percentage will probably rise a bit but drop again when you go on a cutting cycle.
Ana-GH will help largely in speeding the process up and keeping the fat under control.
Are There Any Side Effects?
The ingredients in Ana-GH may be powerful but they are also safe. Everything in this supplement is natural and free of any of the harmful side effects associated with illegal anabolic steroids, testosterone or growth hormone injections.
Is Ana-GH Recommended?
Where Can I Purchase This Product?
Ana-GH is available from its parent HGH site. They will deliver anywhere in the world including the UK and US.
You can use this code: HGHTENOFF to obtain 10% off all you purchase.
There are also special offers on multiple purchases.

that's obviously not english. it's not swahili, either, like i used to think it was.
no, that's zulu.
it took me a long, long time to figure out how to pronounce that sentence. i spent an hour and a half driving on the highway listening to it and trying to sing along. over and over and over. and when i could finally say it, i felt like a real badass.
if you can't say it, it's okay. but i'm pretty sure you've heard it before.
this is, hands down, my favorite movie EVER. it's bordering on an obsession. scratch that, it IS an obsession. so i have to blog about it.
first of all, you should understand just how bad this obsession is.
in my bedroom, on my desk, i have a teeny weeny white TV. it's old enough that the screen bubbles out. it doesn't have one of those fancy digital boxes, so it doesn't have a single TV channel, but it has a VCR. i went in our basement and found the lion king on tape and fed it to my hungry VCR. i haven't yet figured out how to loop the VHS yet, so i'm still in the stage where every time the movie ends and the credits are done (the credit music is so good i have to listen), i just rewind it. and then i start over.
i will watch this tape between one and eight times a week.
in my car, i have a six CD changer built into the dashboard, and i have to say, it's my favorite thing about my car besides the fact that it takes me wherever i want to go. in slot four of this CD changer, i have the lion king broadway original soundtrack. ORIGINAL. my father acquired this because the actress who plays nala, heather headley, went to my high school, which is pretty neat for fort wayne. the soundtrack has extra songs that don't appear in the movie, and most of those songs are in zulu and don't have a single word of english.
those are my favorite ones. except of course, i just can't wait to be king. because that's the greatest song ever.
looking up lyrics and translations for these songs, i discovered that the language spoken in the soundtrack and the movie is zulu, not swahili. the names in the movie are swahili, though. except scar. i guess if you're a brother-murdering nephew-exiling lion who turns out to be a terrible king, you don't get a cool african name.
i've been trying to figure out my fascination with this movie for a while. i'm not the only one who's fascinated, because the lion king is the highest grossing animated movie ever, and has been voted, consistently, the best animated film ever made.
i'm thinking most of it, at least for me, is the music.
i don't want to hate on other disney movies, and i especially don't want to hate on alan menken, because that man is my disney music hero. but the lion king didn't use alan menken. they used elton john and tim rice for the songs and lyrics.
i secretly love elton john. i will admit to that. you can laugh at me, but elton john is legit.
when elton john and tim rice get together, magic happens. you get that awesome feeling when you press play and the sun rises at the beginning of the circle of life. even though i've seen the lion king at LEAST fifty times, i still get that intense warm feeling when the movie begins. tim rice and elton john making songs together does that. good music, good lyrics, good movie.
the score is ridiculously moving. some of it is african sounding, some of it isn't, but if you hear just about any part of the score, you can jump up and down and say, HEY! THAT'S FROM THE LION KING!
the score, as i found out, was written by hans zimmer. you know, that cool guy who does all the hardcore music in batman and pirates of the caribbean. yeah. that guy.
he looks like a major creeper to me.
but that's okay, because he writes damn good music. and he's listed in the top 100 living geniuses. i'm not sure exactly what constitutes a genius anymore, but if he can write music like that, i'm okay with calling him a genius.
i honestly believe that when i'm older and have children, i will still love the lion king. i'm really hoping that my kids will like it as well so we can watch it together. and we can listen to the broadway sountrack in the car. my family still does, and my parents are fifty, i'm basically twenty, and my brother is twenty-one. but seriously, last sunday when we drove to manchester to visit my grandpa, we listened to the lion king soundtrack the whole way, and was sang along. i think my entire family has a thing for disney.
even though i really hope that my kids love the lion king, i hope they don't love it as much as i do, because my obsession scares me.
lion king is magic. it's timeless. it's the lion king.

helped with my dry skin
i've been feeling really dehydrated the last few months, even though i drink plenty of water. I feel like it's been showing mostly in my skin. I've been using this serum for 2 weeks now, and I really notice a difference in the way my face feels. It's definitely going to be a winter must have for me when the temperature drops.

This video is of course highlighting the goofy antics of our dear family but, is a true nod to our beloved Amy. She's such a ham sometimes. Abby was learning how to roll over on her brand new cushion (one of our Korean friends gave it to us and she LOVES it.) The kids enjoyed pizza with raisins and we got a great box full of goodies from family back home. It was a great week here in Korea. The day we went to the Cat Cafe, one of our Korean friends gave us the homemade cushion she had made for Abigail. Abby loved using it when we were out and about, since she couldn't sit up yet. This pillow had tags and buttons sewn on so you could fold it up and a handle so you can carry it nicely when you're on the go. It was a huge help when we visited restaurants where patrons had to sit on the floor and when she wanted to nap at the grocery store in the cart. Later, she used it to watch tv with the big kids.
The pizza was from a little place called Italy Pizza. No joke... it's pricey, but, it's probably the best after the Stoop in the ville. Frankly, we didn't think we'd ever find any place to deliver out here and the joke was that they clearly didn't think it safe to come this far out or maybe they thought we were pranking them. We're in a newer development in the area so 4 delivery guys came out here in a car just to get us our order (maybe they thought they were crashing a party since we ordered so many pizzas to feed our family?)
Later that night, we opened up a package from Aunt Krystle and enjoyed all the laughter that ensued. The kids got new Pokemon games for their Nintendo DS systems and we got to put a real life nerd on Amy's head. It was a great night here in Korea.
The next day, we took Abby and Aaron out to the ville in Osan and enjoyed the day after running some errands. We finally got to test out the Turkish ice cream gag and had some fun at Aaron's expense. It was seriously a fun time had by all. Aaron got to buy some hotteok and then I burned off all of those calories by walking down from the 12th floor (only thought to record it at floor 9 on down) after visiting my friend, K, on post. We got the littles bathed and after that Abby was still up when we got home that night so my time was undoubtedly devoted to her for the evening.

RPG Beginnings
Guess I'll start a thread of little bits to show off for the next map of the rpg series.
Spent way too long on this last night.
When I got it to this point I was crazy stoked about how nice it turned out. Only to realize this is going to be such a small effect that players may hardly notice.
This ice barricade exists until you defeat the boss in that room. Then once defeated, this explodes and you can proceed to the next part of the dungeon.
Well, since we can't seem to get a decent image of a model into a panel I've wasted several hours trying to rig it, even with DoctorGester's help. I tried a bunch of things including creating standard scene panels with a unit value, and custom scene panels with background vmaps, but with just the three models I was testing with, there was a very poor ability to accurately show the unit that killed you.
So, for the target frame, we're just going to go with level, name, and health.
Next step is to put a targeting particle around the currently selected entity. Then figure out how to intercept ability presses to use the currently targeted unit become the target for point target spells.
You could manually make an image portrait for each enemy in the model viewer\photoshop. Would probably work pretty well the way you have it setup; just replace the red skull.
Hey there, I realy enjoy rpg maps and this one seems like a quality work from some experienced modder. Is it single player though or ORPG type of map?
I also want to ask how good is Dota 2 tools compared to SC2 editor. i appologize for a little bit off-topic but i hadn't realy seen much complex custom abilities in dota 2 maps, most of them using just a bit tweaked default skills, and the visuals are pretty poor.
Is there any equivalent of Actors in d2 tools (objects which can control (move, scale, attach, etc) assets like particle effects or beams)?
The build time in hammer is kind of joke compared to "Test Document" in sc2 editor, or am i missing something?
I apologize for asking these questions here just would like to hear some feedback from experience user.
Can't compare to SC2 editor since I never used it but for me it looks way less complicated than SC2 datadriven system. In fact dota doesn't even have an editor by itself like wc3 or sc2 did, I'll go into details below. Also Lua is a way better choice than galaxy.
Particles have control points which can affect stuff like scaling or color or whatever and you can set them from scripts.
You don't need to build the map each time you want to run it. In fact you don't even need to restart it each time you want to update your scripts. Building is required only if you do direct terrain changes. You don't need to have hammer open at all to work, most of us don't. To launch your game you can open vconsole and use "dota_launch_custom_game game_name map_name". To reload scripts on the fly you can use "script_reload" (only applies to lua files).
DG basically covered it. ;)
Here's what I'm mucking around with today. It's difficult to see here, but essentially I've targeted the gnoll, then this is just a keypress to fire my skill rather than having to click the gnoll every time.
This is actually quite difficult because spells are typically either no target, unit target, or point target. But, since this is going to be an MMO type game (oRPG with 1-3 players) I want to focus more on spell rotations than clicking the right target.
So this is currently following a pattern I found on github for the project-arena mod, which is to dynamically change the GetBehavior based on whether the spell is casting and whether a target is selected.
I've attempted several other things that have not worked so well. I tried casting the skill from javascript, which sure casting the skill works, but then it leaves the UI in the target phase of the skill with the range indicator. I then tried setting the skill to no target, and manually doing the range checks and setting the character to face the target. But, SetForwardVector was instant, and didn't turn nicely like this does. This seems to be a pretty decent solution. I'm not terribly happy about using a nettable to transmit the target to the ability script, but that might be the only way.
what abilities are you planning for strong enemies/bosses and how many? Do you have any visualy apealing skills to show off :pogchamp: ? What is the scale of this project (number of bosses/dungeons, skills per boss, number of playable characters, etc)?
I made a short mod with two boss fights to give some ideas of how mechanics may work: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=857890616
Both bosses need more health, but you can probably get an idea of how things might work.
I don't like excessive visuals. The concept for this one is a longer quest line, and a single repeatable dungeon with 3 bosses.
I am not planning to have overly crazy particles. I really enjoy the mechanics.
I published a "Rpg introduction" map as a proof of concept just to get something out the door. Again, for this map, I keep trying to refocus and keep the scale to a sane volume of work, then iterate on it. If things go well, I'll make another one with more dungeons, but trying to start small and build up.
I can't say how many characters will be available since that'll possibly change as it's implemented if there are any major issues. But, on the drawing board is 6 characters.
Quick before and after picture of the river that divides the starting area from the other zone.
I wanted to add the waterfall model, but I couldn't figure out how to line up the cascading splashes with rocks. So I pulled open the Dota 2 map, and they don't even line it up perfectly. So I guess this is good! Looks much better.
Not quite sure what I'm going to do with the rest of the map boundary yet since I'd rather not import a fourth tileset just for the edge pieces, but it might be the cleanest way to go. We'll see.
It's not perfect, but I think it's good enough for version 1.0 release.
I'm super happy with how this turned out. Eventually there will be a dialog prompt to let you travel to any of the expected 5 waypoints.
Looks realy cool, i like it alot, keep posting gifs as you progress :pogchamp:
woow this is amazing, looks really beautifull
Thanks guys. :)
I don't have much to "show" for Sunday, since I spent most of the day coding ability wrappers. But, I moved the snow transition a little further up. I like how it turned out.
Wow, that travel gif is really cool! Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it when its done.
Finally getting into some decent ability + particle work. Starting to come along. Happy with these so far.
Shows a couple of the skills the ranger will have: - Normal attack - explosive shot AOE (to gain an explosion below) - poison shot DOT - ice arrow Slow - strong shot Damage - concussive shot Interrupt/Stun
Starting to get fun. The gleeful noise that I emitted when all of the sheep died in one shot was probably uncharacteristic, but definitely called for.
I've implemented the modifiers. (Thanks israeli cowboys for the example modifier.)
Poison does a damage over time. Frost arrow slows. Concussive shot stuns for a couple seconds. AOE damages everything around it. And strong shot is just a filler.
There will be longer cooldowns, but I've enjoyed getting into the abilities. I know many folks usually start with abilities. But, I wanted to get some other proof of concept done first. ;)
Damn you've been putting in work :O
I love the waypoint !!
Working on finishing out the map design today. Here are a couple shots of the transition points. Funny thing about so many parts of design is how much time we spend on things that might never be seen, or are likely to be noticed and brushed past. But, the quality transition avoids a jarring experience. Anyways, without further ado.
Didn't take a picture of the blocks on the ground, but I threw down one of each of the generic cliff models.
Once I got all of the items into position, I simply selected all of them and applied a color and presto!
This was all for the left edge of the map. So it's hardly noticeable, but here it is.
A little later on I realized there was another side to the dire/radiant transition. So I just copy/pasted that entire block, swapped the sides of the plants, and boom. Transition two in just a few seconds.
Pushing hard to get the map terrain design completed today.
Ignore the immobile spiders. The spider in the tree sure spooks me out lol.
Angry Bear...
WIP Pick Screen
Created my own particle. Followed DoctorGester's Tutorial...
Got stuck on invoker because he wouldn't drop his original wearables.
But, finally got it to a place where I'm quite happy.
Major props to DoctorGester for both his tutorial https://moddota.com/forums/discussion/1399/panorama-custom-dotascenepanel/p1 but also his Crumbling Island Arena examples of Undying and attaching cosmetics using prop dynamic hierarchies. Couldn't do it without him.
damn son, impressive work, looks amazing!
I like some gifs (I think are), and I think if have the quality of the gifs I like, depending on this custom mode, I think it's going to be fun and good players base, trying no to depending on abandoning the custom mode so soon, when have little to do playing...
No bad intention, but I think you were inspired by WoW (World of Warcraft). I wish new gifs of good quality, future publishing, if is good custom mode, success (you and other people having fun, good base of players, etc).
Napoqe, yes quite inspired by World of Warcraft. Thanks.
I'm working on some talents then I may make a beta available.
Edit: Adding gfy of some work on sorcerer spells. (Inflict Pain, Disease, Cursed Flames, Mind Blast, and standard attack.)
Released two out of six sections of the map for play testing. Consider it early alpha though. Feedback welcome: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=892190639
Work in progress!
Heh, working on my own containers implementation. (Thanks, cough, arhowk, cough, doctorgester for the persuasion.)
It's coming along, but it's been rocky. :) Just got drag and drop semi-working, obviously it leaves behind the rarity, but I'll clean that up. Then I need to apply the modifiers, but getting closer.
Edit: And slot restrictions.
I played a match on the alpha, for me, not for fun. But not so much, I saw resources interesting. And I think it's already more advanced, the custom mode of the developer. I think there is no reason for me to require it, I think that it have invested financially in that custom mode, which I think will be most free to play. I believe that this go be good custom mod.
Suggestion for custom mode:
- Custom keys for screen of inventories and equipment.
- Portals of teleportation to city closer, however with high value and low chance of drop (have utility waypoints).
- Warrior has another system, which does not use mana.
I just released an update where inventory and equipment is combined, and you'll notice the "N" hotkey labelled on the button near the bottom. Thanks for that suggestion.
I don't completely understand the teleportation suggestion. There are 6 main areas on the map, and each will have a teleport. I will eventually make a dialog box to pick the destination. Are you suggesting a hotkey to drop out of teleport along the way? Hmm...
Aye, I agree with the non-mana warrior system, like rage or combo points.
Thanks Napoqe!
No, similar to the rolled paper of Path of Exile. That when it is used, it creates one portal, that if enters, it is teleported to a city. But instead of available, to go and back. The portal can only enter once. After that it disappears. So if have, you will have an item that depends on that can save the life of the character, and without taking utility of waypoints.
Will have? If have, what will be the penalty if the character dies? Is it possible to do an Auction House (not have issues with copies, etc.) in Dota 2 custom mod? You put it in custom mode?
No more questions (not to be boring), unless developer allows more, and authorities here (in that forum).
Ah, that rolled paper/teleport town with the ability to go back is a great idea. Thanks! I will write it down, but may be a month before I can get to it.
I've considered auction house, I think it's technologically feasible, but we will have to see how things go.
I don't have any penalty plans for character death yet.
I appreciate your questions and suggestions. Ask away. =)
Now that this is released, it's easier to just publish the new map than to remember to share clips here. :D Anyways, I'm working on the debuff bar. It's a little harder than expected. But I'm making progress.
Obviously in this clip I still need to:
- Not show hidden modifiers (the one without a texture is the animation modifier.)
- Show a countdown timer.
- Show stacks.
But, it's more than half way done. Woot.
Our adventurers preparing to enter the next zone.

- Turkey
With residency in Bulgaria, get the chance to visit more than 150 countries free of visa.
Bulgaria is a country, with 110.994 km2 and approximate population of 7.1 Million people. The country became an EU member state on the 1st of January 2007 and has a fascinating cultural heritage as prehistoric cultures started developing on current Bulgarian land. Bulgaria borders 5 countries: Serbia, Romania, Republic of Macedonia, Greece and Turkey. The biggest city of the country is its capital Sofia, with a population of 1.3 Million People.
Within less than 10 months, you can get a permanent residency of Bulgaria and enjoy the privileges with their citizenship.
Since the country became an EU member state, besides the visa free travel in 142 countries, the highest grade of residency status gives an opportunity to the investor and his family members to enjoy the Bulgarian Healthcare program, one of the lowest corporate and personal taxation in EU etc...
The investment program for residence and citizenship in Bulgaria started in 2009 and the primary reason for implementing this kind of program was to attract foreign direct investment in the country. The program gives an opportunity to the investor and his/her family members to become permanent residents in EU and become eligible to apply for the citizenship after 5 years.
According to the program, the investor can apply for the permanent residency after investing 512,292 Euro (equals to 1M BGN) in governmental bond portfolio, which is secured by government bonds. The length of the investment is five years and after five years the investment fully returns to the investor without any interest charged thereon. Another option is to pay a reduced amount of 195,000 Euro, which is used to finance 1 M BGN loan from a Bulgarian Chartered Bank. The disadvantage of this option is that 195,000 Euro is not returned to the investor after 5 years.
The next step after granting residency permit is to apply for the Bulgarian citizenship. According to the "law for the Bulgarian Citizenship" says that a person is eligible to apply for the citizenship after 5 years of legal residency in Bulgaria. There is a fast track citizenship program in Bulgaria, which gives an opportunity to the investor to apply for the citizenship only 1 year after his permanent residence status, in case he/she doubles the initial investment. In this case the total amount of the investment will be 1,022,594 Euro (Equals to 2M BGN).
The advantages of this program are that the applicant does not have to pass the Bulgarian language test, there is no physical residency requirement and investor is not obliged to renounce his/her present citizenship.
The standard procedure for the application starts with the background checking. The origin of the money and transparent biography of the applicant is very important for the country. The time period for getting the permanent residency is from 2-3 months.
- The country is an EU member state and has amazing location for traveling both in eastern and western Europe
- Rich History and culture of the country
- Visa free travel to approximately 154 countries (EU, UK)
- Process to residency needs approximately 6-9 months
- Residency is a fast-track alternative to obtain Bulgarian Citizenship (within 2 years)
- No restriction on dual citizenship
- No mandatory language test and knowledge requirement
- No mandatory residency requirement
- Free trade environment and lowest tax rates in EU
- Citizenship can be transferred by descent regardless of age

text: The 'Remonetise India' Campaign sponsored by the powerful Times Network is an amazingly skillful spin on humanising the impacts of Demonetisation, deploying celebrity power to influence the english speaking middle class to use less cash (the entire point of the demonetisation debate), so that the rural hinterland has access to cash, and they can keep their jobs. Such a deep indictment of the crisis. Glamour does not band aid the situation.

A report on Friday afternoon that Saints wide receiver Dez Bryant tore his Achilles in practice on Friday has elicited a response from Bryant on Twitter.
Bryant did not confirm the exact nature of his injury, but confirmed that it's a serious one in a tweet that also referenced how little time he had with the Saints after his long wait to find a job this year.
Friday was Bryant's second practice with the Saints after agreeing to a contract with the team on Wednesday. The Saints also worked out Kamar Aiken and Brandon Marshall before placing Cameron Meredith on injured reserve, so we may see another veteran wideout make his way to New Orleans in the near future.
