I have a question for everyone.Does everyone want to get this community going again? Cause I really enjoyed it over the summer when we were still alive.Once again I'd offer to help co-mod... or even fully take responsibility for moderating.Anyone up for it?
( :(Collapse )
So, I'm back... but everyone has been LEAVING THE COMMUNITY?!?!WHAT WHAT?!Ugh. Well...I'm back from vacation to those of you who are still here.If need be, I'd be able to help maintain the community since Jenna left, and Dez (I think, from what I've gathered,) left?!?!Oh, man.So, Iunno, but I'd be up for helping out and being a co-mod. Um. I'll have pictures from my vacation very soon.I'll also elaborate on what I did in South Dakota.It was such a blast, and I loved every minute of it.Well... except for the fact that I had NO SERVICE on my cell phone the majority of the time so I felt so out of tune with my friends and my life here back in Jersey.But whatever.Like I said. I'll elaborate later.I missed you all!!!!!!!And don't forget about my offer.
I'm sorry, Its really hard for me to leave because I love everyone in this community so much, but Since everyone is leaving and Both the MOD's don't/ can't run this place with out Dez and Jenna (I'm pretty sure thats her name) I'm leaving. I'm sorry, maybe once the Mod's can acually run this place by them selfs I might Join again. Again I'm really sorry, You can all feel free to add me, I would really really like that.

Politics & Government
Palin ethics compaints should be kept private says Alaska Rep. Lynn
Anchorage Republican Rep. Bob Lynn, a supporter of Gov. Sarah Palin's, said he's going to introduce a bill to stop ethics complaints against the governor or members of her staff from being publicly discussed unless the state finds they have merit.
"An ethics complaint filed against a legislator is confidential until it's determined to have merit," Lynn said in a written statement. "If the complainant breaches confidentiality, then the case is dismissed."
Lynn said his bill would provide the same rule for complaints against the governor and all others who work in the state's executive branch – talk about the complaint, and it's dismissed.
Lynn argued that, currently, "an unsubstantiated complaint can be all over the newspaper, TV, and talk radio before it's even investigated. That's not fair. It invites frivolous complaints by people with a political agenda, wasting public money and the time of everybody involved."
Palin has protested ethics complaints filed against her make a media splash -- only to then be dismissed by the state personnel board.

Case Study |
A Door of Hope
Christian Foster Care
A Door of Hope is a Christian foster licensing agency based in Tampa, Florida. The agency is a non-profit that helps license foster parents and assists with finding a home for children in foster care. Their funds are mostly generated through donations. A Door of Hope needed a larger gift than usual in 2016, so they asked us to help their fundrasier.
The Goal
Raise $75,000 between October
and the end of the year.
It was almost the end of the year and A Door of Hope needed $75,000 to start the next year off well. Normally they did an "ask" during this time of year, but they had recently seen a decline in financial support. When they asked us as Paper Jacket what we should do, we thought of a simple campaign that would generate genuine care about A Door of Hope and prodive clear direction of how to help.
• Time was limited.
• There was recently a fall in their following.
• Most do not realize the need for financial support.
The Take-Away
With the recent fall in financial support, we knew we had to jump start this campaign with a new twist. We wanted to generate something that hadn't been generated before by A Door of Hope so that the feelin came across fresh to the current followers we still had. We needed people to care and act.
So we dug into what would cause engagement.
This was one of the simplist campaigns we have ever done, and we believe there is a lot to say about it. Keeping it simple and straight to the point helped communicate what the need was, how we can get there, and how someone can get involved to meet the need.
The process was simple. Through the branding we identified the goal, then we positioned the need as what our community is fighting. From there, we positioned the donor as the hero of the story by providing a home through their financial gifts.
Our Answer
Branding + Video Production + Website = Over $100k in donations!
The hardest part about sharing stories involving foster care is that we are unable to show an actual foster child. Due to this, we needed a story that would capture what a child goes through whenever they go into a foster home that is licensed by A Door of Hope.
We walked through the inner struggle of a child, and then presented the outcome of a Christian home that A Door of Hope provides through their foster families. The hero of the story was the ones who made this home possible by either becoming a foster home themselves or helping to financially sponsor a home. Instead of providing A Door of Hope's perspective, we chose the story of a child.
Campaign Video
This was the video that led the campaign. The largest accomplishment was showing it at a few churches that generated a fantastic response.
Behind the Scenes
This was the concept video we first provided for the A Door of Hope. They fell in love with it, so we stuck to the original script very closely.
The website was in addition to the current website. instead of directing people straight to the A Door of Hope website, we directed them to a domain and website that fit the brand of the campaign. We called it "60 More Homes."
The website walked through the campaign and gave a call-to-action. We wanted people to give financially, but also share with it with others. The call-to-action was called "Give $5, ask 5." The website directed the donor to give, then share through Facebook, Twitter or email.
The results ended up being that some would just give, some would do both, and some would just share. We considered any of these to be a win, and most times, one of those items always happened rather than nothing.
a.k.a Spreading The Word
Campaign Kits
Orphan Sunday was the largest debut for this video and the campaign. Churches around the area were contacted and asked to highlight Orphan Sunday in November by presenting the video and the printed post cards.
Social Media
After posting the video on social media, we also asked every donor to invite 5 of their friends or family to also donate and ask 5 others. This generated the organic reach we needed due to not having a budget for advertising.
Printed Media
4×6 cards were designed and printed around the campaign and gave clear direction of what to do. It gives three easy steps and was titled "Give $5, ask 5."
The Results
We received over $100,000 in donations by the end of the year.
This campaign became A Door of Hope's most profitable campaign to date, despite the recent reduction of followers and fianncial support. It paved the way for further development of their brand, more social interaction and easier access to donations throughout the rest of the next year.

The Bottom Line…
A Door of Hope was not targeted as the hero of the story in this campaign. if anything, they were just the brand making the announcement. The story was developed to create a deep care for the need of more homes and a direct action on how to make it happen.
This campaign also strategized an organic sharing opportunity for all who got involved.
Positioning the brand and story with a clear call-to-action is often the strongest marketing technique you can do these days.

I make pottery to brighten your day and elevate the moment.
My functional ware is often brushed with a whitewash style finish and a clear glossy food safe glaze, or clean white glaze. For me keeping a simple color palate is important because it complements your food or drink, which encourages you to slow down and truly enjoy your experience. These pots are fired to 2012 degrees f (^1 in ceramic speak). This is lower than the traditional temperature which allows me to fire in an electric kiln that uses less energy, while still resulting in very sturdy, functional pottery.
The "Wrought Clay" series is inspired by my love of ornamental wrought iron and are designed to be simply beautiful. They are unglazed, black clay, fired to ^4.
I enjoy collaborating with others to create custom pots, if you've got ideas, let's talk!

Mercedes is launching their own CryptoCurrency: MobiCOIN
The automotive industry is ripe for disruption. From electric cars to autonomous driving, it is evident that is already being disrupted in a high degree. Blockchain Technology is the latest addition to the disrupting forces, with automotive giants announcing initiatives like the TOYOTA Blockchain Ecosystem that we covered last month and the recent BMW and VeChain partnership announcement.
Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler presented the MobiCOIN project at the Mobile World Congress 2018. The virtual currency will be awarded to those who care about eco-driving. The new coin is designed to reward drivers who drive safely and smoothly at low speed. The pilot started in February and is scheduled to run for three months, with 500 Mercedes drivers involved in the experimental phase. They can win MobiCOINs by reaching a high "environmental score," which would take into account things such as smooth acceleration and braking. More on this blog by Nina, one of the 500 test drivers of the program.
The vehicle data will be linked to a mobile app representing the coin wallet, and the drivers can use the coins in exchange for rewards. To avoid the possibility of accidents, they will not be able to access their score data in real-time, only after the trips. The drivers who reach a higher score can then use their MobiCOINs to get VIP tickets for events such as the MercedesCup final or the Fashion Week in Berlin.
The technology can act to transform mobility, according to Jonas Von Malottki, a blockchain expert from Daimler's IT team. "The blockchain, with its decentralized architecture, will open business models and multiply the possibilities of collaboration between big and small players," he said.

Fugger is delighted to announce that things are back on track for misunderstood superstar Chris Brown. As if his recent Grammy win and online reconciliation with former sweetheart Rihanna wasn't enough, Chris has also adopted a sweet new puppy that was found roaming on the R n' B star's grounds.
'She's a cute little thing and I'm gonna keep her', the singer of such hits as I Can Transform Ya, and Take You Down told Fugger. 'However', Chris concluded, 'if she starts barking all the time or shits the house I'll come down on the bitch and I'll come down on her hard'.
Well, as his song says, it looks like Chris really is a Changed Man. Fugger says: You go Chris!

The move brings the Linksys brand one step closer to the inevitable extinction that CEO John Chambers officially acknowledged a little over a year ago.
All Linksys Business Series products are being moved into the Cisco SMB portfolio and the "more than 20,000" Linksys global channel partners have until September 16 to become Cisco Registered Channel Partners.
Cisco said that this change "does not affect the Linksys consumer sales efforts".

For many years I have had the amazing opportunity to be able to travel to a small town in Southern Italy near Benevento called San Marco dei Cavoti. Steeped in history, this town captivated my heart and soul. It happens to be the town where my Mother-in-Law was born and raised, where my husband spent his early years before coming to the US and the namesake of my son Marco. Since the day I stepped foot in San Marco, I was also captivated by the famous chocolate, hazelnut and almond confection called Croccantino. The flavor is something in between Nutella, honey and a Heath bar. You can eat a lot of them since they are only 2 bites, so be careful, it can be dangerous! They are beloved by everyone in the town and everyone who I bring a box back to in New York. My Dad ate an entire box in one sitting (about 20 bars) the first time I brought them back to the US. Of course we always bring an empty bag to ensure that we can stock up!
The first producers of Croccantino started over 150 years ago, they are mostly family run and produce in small batches. This is why it intrigued me to find out that there was someone new on the scene.
About 3 years ago, I stumbled upon Autore online. The owner Antonio Autore grew up in San Marco dei Cavoti. He left for a while to study and work in international business throughout Europe, but returned home to, as he says, rewrite the tradition. He has done an amazing job balancing the tradition of Croccantino while bringing the 150 year old recipe into the 21st century. What first caught my attention was the beautiful packaging and the multiple flavors. With flavors like Sicilian Pistachio, Coconut, Honey & Fig and Giundia, Autore extends the idea of traditional Croccantino. This great YouTube video highlights the production process and gives you more insight into the world of Autore.
The brightly colored packaging is eye catching and makes a great in-store display. After six years in business, Autore has started to ship to the US. If you are in NYC you can find his product at Buon Italia in Chelsea Market. He also will ship directly to customers through his website.
Recently, I had the opportunity to do a quick interview with Antonio, here are a few highlights from our conversation:
When did you get the idea to start Autore and what was your inspiration?
I grew up in San Marco dei Cavoti the world capital of Croccantino, this famous crunchy bar of nuts laced with sugar and covered with dark chocolate. I left after high-school for my college studies and then worked abroad for a few years but always brought with me a box of Croccantino. Well wherever I travelled everybody loved the product and the idea of starting my own production started working in my head.So six years ago I returned to San Marco started the Autore chocolate. I created a catalogue adding new chocolate recipes to classic Croccantino and I built up a range of different flavors.
How many countries are you selling your product in now?
We are selling our products in 15 countries (most of the European countries, but also Japan, US and others).
What has been your biggest challenge?
To sell a traditional product with a more dynamic and modern approach, infact our motto is "rewrite the tradition" . We use a intriguing design and innovative packaging solutions that is very much liked by consumers
What is the most popular product?
The classic Croccantino is still the best selling product, but it is followed by Croccantino honey and raisin, Croccantino honey and figs and Pistachio
What is next for Autore? (US distribution, new products/categories)
We have just released the new Winter Catalogue 2016-2017 with quite a few new products: Minuto Ribes (white chocolate and red currant), a range of four spread creams and a few new gift boxes. The spreads have crunchy bites of croccantino mixed with cream and the feedback from the market is very positive. All our products (except for the Panettone and the chocolate beer) are gluten free. Marketwise we are putting efforts to sell more in the US market through gourmet chains .

Esquif have recently re-started production of their canoe range with a replacement for Royalex know as T-Formex, this is made by Esquif specifically for canoes; it's probably the most exciting thing to happen in canoe manufacture in recent years!
I was lucky enough to get my hands on one from the first shipment into the UK and so far I absolutely love it!
I mainly paddle solo, carrying a day bag or overnight bag so I have outfitted this boat to suit that purpose. This is not a 'how to' instruction guide. Rather my thoughts on outfitting and explaining the decisions I have made.
The first thing I did was remove the seats & the stiffening bar, there's no point in having two seats if I'm only going to paddle solo. I was surprised to find just how stiff the boat was even without any of the outfitting in. This T-Formex stuff seems to be super strong!
I fitted a kneeling thwart as close as I can get to the carrying yoke; this allows me to have the greatest effect on the trim of the boat as well as maximum connectivity. This gives me total control over the performance.
This is fitted immediately behind the kneeling thwart. Sometimes on a long journey I want to sit down; comfort is important during an 80km day! Because of the positioning of the two together I can switch between comfort and performance by sliding my bum just a few inches.
I used black 10mm static climbing rope tied off inside the boat with a figure of eight knot and backed up with a couple of cable ties. I keep the loops as tight as possible to avoid any potential snagging. They are just big enough to clip a karabiner through.
I've laced the boat along its length using black 5mm cord, I fitted four small pieces of 6mm clear plastic pipe immediately in front of the yoke to make small loops to clip gear to or to lash in equipment on an expedition.
I use 60 inch airbags at both ends and I put them in Aiguille Alpine's Airbag Covers to protect them. These are fitted firstly by strapping them to the inside of the end loops, and then using 5mm cord I lash them into place using the lacing.
Volia! The boat is ready to paddle.

The fact of the matter is I'm hungry all the time. And there's only so many snacks you can stock your little London flat with. So I've decided to stop buying, and start making instead! Believe it or not, this actually works to my advantage for two reasons: 1) If I have the will power to get off the couch on the weekend and make a snack from scratch, I deserve the snack surely :)
2) Creative energy being put to good use, and if the experiment is successful, a blog post idea
So on a lovely sunny Saturday I decided to tweak a classic American popover recipe, and was very pleased with the result. So here you go!
Makes 12 popovers, in a standard muffin tray or 24 in a shallower bun tray (I used a bun tray).
What you need
Milk - 1 cup Egg - 2 large Plain flour- 1 cup Medium cheddar - grated, 3/4-1 cup Oregano (dried) - 2 tsp Butter - 2 tbsp, melted Pepper - pinch Salt - to taste Muffin tray/bun tray
What you do
- Whisk the flour, egg, milk and butter together. You should have the consistency of pancake batter. Add a little extra milk/flour if needed
- Stir in the pepper, salt, herbs, and grated cheese
- Spoon into a muffin/bun tray, filling each cup half-way
- Bake at 180 degrees celcius in a fan-assisted oven for about 20 minutes, or until brown
- Munch hot, with a little butter on top if you're feeling indulgent!
I've just had a thought - 2 cloves of grated garlic and a pinch of paprika too. Mmmm

Ibex Index: looking to go long again here for 800 points upside
TVC:IBEX35 IBEX 35 Index
39 views
IBEX Index: IBEX 35 Update
After getting long on the break above 10470 we got stopped out at 10525 for a small 55 point profit...
Now this index has come back down to the breakout zone once more for what should be one last kiss
before the rally recommences.
It should find support between current values at 10362 and about 55 points lower, at 10310 at
lowest... (same amount as recent win on this index) off the upper parallel.
So am looking to go long again from the 10362-10310 range with a stop just under 10300,
looking for a move back up to the highs at 11168 (about 800 points) between now and early
spring 2018. So about 60 points downside risk and 800 points upside if it works out...
Comment: Low at 10296, so stop just under 10300 should be good, as above. Am keeping mine at 11 points under 10300 after getting long at 10332 - so a 43 point loss if wrong (slightly less than 55 points profit on last long trade here) and up to 800 points if right...time will tell, as always.

Whether you dread them or memorize lines to get around them, shit tests will always be present.
This article will not teach you tricks or lines to get around shit tests.
It will teach you to pass right through them - after all, they are just a Gateless Gate.
Zen and Shit Tests
By no means am I a Buddhist monk, hell - I'm not even Buddhist.
Still, like most people from the 80's who spent way too many nights watching the Big Lebowski, and reading Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance…
I've acquired some anti-knowledge on some of the concepts.
Anti-knowledge, because to 'understand' Zen is to not understand it.
It is free from our consciousness, free from our analytical approach.
The moment you seek to grasp it intellectually is the moment you have lost it.
Or, that's what I hear, anyway.
What this has to do with Texting Women
If this sounds like your understanding of women, you wouldn't be too far off.
The masculine and feminine, in eastern terms, are the Yang and Yin, External and Internal, Intellectualism and Intuition, Understanding and Feeling.
It doesn't take many page flips to come across the idea of the Gateless Gate in Zazen.
This is a gate that is impossible to pass for the unenlightened - but for those who have attained it, the gate melts into nothingness.
There is no effort required to pass it, as the gate only exists in the mind of rationality.
The Shit Test
In dating, this Gateless Gate goes by another, somewhat more crude term, the Shit Test.
For those early in their path, the shit test represents an insurmountable obstacle.
It's a block that stops us from progressing with difficult women.
It's the date killer.
We look for ways to avoid it, over come it, pierce through it.
Sadly, most men simply give up when they are confronted by a shit test.
There is seemingly no way around them.
Worse, once we are confronted by a shit test and fail to analyze our way beyond the locked doors, we fall prey to obsession.
This takes the form of memorizing retorts to specific shit tests, so if confronted we put our faith in our toolbox having the right sized wrench for this particular problem.
But We're Thinking About Shit Tests All Wrong.
Another word for these 'gates' or 'shit tests' is "Koans."
They are tools to reflect and meditate on to find enlightenment - precisely because they can not be answered with knowledge, books, or logic.
They are Gateless Gates.
They are basically spiritual shit tests.
All of this is to say something very simple: shit tests reveal to you the way to masculine and feminine integration.
They show you how to be whole.
Once you "get it", all shit tests are "won" without winning - as there is no conflict to begin with.
They are nothing more than symbols of your own mastery.
Fundamentally, a shit test is her way to testing if you're the 'real deal.'
Just as a master may test his student's self-awareness with a Koan.
There is no logic - as both a shit test and a Koan are not "solved" by rational thinking.
You can not talk a girl into believing you have confidence.
It is, or it is not.
Just as you can not "talk" your way into self-realization. It is, or it is not.
Getting a Shit Test in a Text is What You Want.
Therefore, if you approach a shit test with fear, anger or even logic - you have already lost.
One should approach shit tests with joy - they are how we as men can come to know the unknowable.
They are learning exercises.
They breed experience and wisdom.
Not about dating - but about us.
This isn't philosophical, this is based on real experience.
For example, say you are a short guy - and a tall women shit tests you for it.
If your gut reaction is to feel pain, self-consciousness, and defeat - then you have met an impassable gate.
This shit test, much like a Koan, has revealed a flaw in your core - your attachment to your ego.
Your attachment to the material world. In this example, the problem wasn't not having the right "line" ready to go (remember, that's logic, and logic does not apply).
The problem is more deep seeded - your insecurity with something wholly superficial, your height.
The shit test has revealed to her, but most importantly to you that you have some spiritual steps to climb.
You have some work to put into yourself - to let go of these insecurities.
Shit Tests are on Your Side.
And that's what makes shit tests so useful.
They are ways to test ourselves and see if our inner strength comes from our core, or from external sources like validation, wealth, and ego.
Without the shit tests, we'd go through life unaware of ourselves - with the same self validating self image that is burned into our consciousness.
We imagine ourselves as heroes, confident, intelligent, and true.
But shit tests - and koans - remind us of our faults and shortcomings, so we can learn to let go of them.
There is No Shit Test.
For those who grasp the essential nature of a shit test, there is no shit test.
They have come to peace with their own inner conflict.
There is no gate, as within him is nothing, which she can plainly see.
For those still working on themselves, they will ask these men for answers or help to "pass" shit tests, but they miss the point - because they are trying to understand it.
Only by hitting his head again and again on the shit tests - confronting them often by approaching women and through self-reflection, will he begin to experience the Gateless Gate first hand.
This is expressed clearly if one pays attention.
Common verbiage is that one just "gets it" - and not to be caught up in too much "theory." To reflect by writing down the "3 best sets, and 3 worst sets."
A Moment of Focus
That's true, through this process of first-hand experience one draws himself further from the literal and rational (intelligence) and closer to the actual and intuitive (wisdom.)
Embrace the shit tests you encounter.
Reflect on them.
It is through shit test, just as a Koan, that one can experience a deeper realization.
Shit tests reveal the chinks in your armor, and also lead you to understand that one is weighed down by the armor itself.
Still struggling with shit test?
Maybe esoteric zen analogies aren't your thing.
If so, come join our 100% private Own Your Online Dating Facebook group and post up some screenshots of your conversation with women over text to get feedback.

FSD Upgrade Benefits
FSD Upgrade Benefits
Elon has said multiple times that the new computer will indeed be required for the additional FSD features that are still in the works, and that those who upgrade to FSD will indeed receive the new computer.
I upgraded on Friday night. Nothing like the weekend and a couple of glasses of wine to ease one's grip on one's wallet...
wow joshan, pretty exciting.
I didn't realize how close we were to having FSD
@jimglas: I don't know if you were being sarcastic, but we're not close to having FSD.
@WardT: Since you already have EAP, buying FSD now will not get you any current features that you don't already have. What it will get you is an upgrade to HW3 when Tesla starts doing upgrades, and future features that will only be available in FSD (including actual full self driving when that day comes).
EVRider FSD features are going to start rolling out sooner than later. V10 is scheduled tentatively for end of August and Includes:
Needless to say, the recognition of stop signs and traffic lights is an extremely important task necessary on the path to "full self-driving" (FSD). With the upcoming V10 software update, Tesla is introducing an improvement in Autopilot's ability to recognize stop signs and traffic lights. As discussed in their most recent earnings letter, Tesla has been running this feature in "shadow mode" — carefully analyzing driving situations and comparing what the system would do to what the driver does in the real world.
In response to a question about whether Tesla's FSD will require the recognition of traffic signs and stop signs, Musk stated that it "will recognize & read all signs for FSD. Focused on traffic lights & stop signs right now. Most are very easy. Difficulty is millions of corner cases."
@Joshan: I don't think a hardware upgrade will be necessary for V10, at least nothing I've read would indicate that. I'm not sure if you are suggesting that, but want to be clear for the sake of this conversation.
At this time, I'm not aware of any published timeline for activation of features that will require HW3, although they will almost certainly come at some point. So at this time, the primary benefit of buying FSD is locking in at a price if you think it's going to increase later. And buying into the belief that FSD/HW3 features will roll out sooner than later.
Let me see if I can find the article on that. But it stated that V10 will be the first time they release code that will take advantage of HW3 in regard to AP/FSD. It could be a BS blogger, let me search.
@Joshan: If you can find it, I think that will make a difference for a lot of us. I would consider buying FSD before the price increase next week if there are features coming out soon that I won't be able to get on HW 2.5
@dmastro not seeing anything now. Maybe it was something I saw on TMC. Cant remember now so I defer to you as correct until I can find different :)
@Joshan: Are you basing the August V10 release schedule on what Elon said? In April Elon also said Enhanced Summon would be released the following week.
Elon is consistently wrong about software release dates, though he does much better with car production scheduling. Don't get your hopes up about seeing V10 this month (or this year, for that matter).
I'm a fan of Elon, but I've learned to ignore his software release dates. When it comes it comes.
I am agreeing with the OP. I have EAP and feel it's kind of a waste to spend $3000 now for FSD. My friend is driving his second model S. They were talking about FSD when he picked up his first one about 5 years ago. Still nothing. And, who knows if regulation will approve FSD in your area.
If I recall correctly, HW3 computers have been installed in new cars since 1Q 2019.
HW3 went into production in mid-April.
EVRider | August 8, 2019
@jimglas: I don't know if you were being sarcastic, but we're not close to having FSD.
tdwin2000 | August 8, 2019
I am agreeing with the OP. I have EAP and feel it's kind of a waste to spend $3000 now for FSD.
tdwin2000 | August 8, 2019
I am agreeing with the OP. I have EAP and feel it's kind of a waste to spend $3000 now for FSD.
I have zero expectations of autonomous driving within 5 years.
I bought FSD when it dropped to 2k hoping the HW3 at least improves TACC and hedging against future value.
AP is too inconsistent with phantom braking, arbitrary lane changes etc., FSD is a waste of money. Once AP features are off BETA, we can talk. Backup camera blackout is still an issue, I would like Tesla to fix existing problems first.
How about implementing a basic feature of being able to play Playlists from USB? even bmws have had that for years, so can't be that hard!
Good thread, I took the leap of faith and bought the EAP to FSD upgrade for my M3/2018-09. Anyone knows when will TESLA start physically change the computer to FSD computer?
No one on this forum knows anything more than what Musk has said about that.
Magic 8 Ball | August 9, 2019
No one on this forum knows anything more than what Musk has said about that.
+1 Musk is always ahead of reality. It will get here some day "year".
Email I received says I have EAP but did not pay for any Autopilot upgrade at purchase (Apr 19). So, guessing I have 2.5 hardware. Cost to upgrade to full AP is 3K. This probably includes V3 hardware.
Patience, there's a leadership change in the Autopilot team. Those kinds of changes often affect roll out dates. We'll get there eventually.
What leadership change in the autopilot team?
Nevermind, just read about Stewart.
We too paid $5k for EAP when I bought my 3 in Feb of 2019. The interesting thing is, at that time, there was no FSD available for sale. Yes, we know this for a fact and a manager at our local store (where we ordered the car) confirmed this. He confirmed it when an associate there tried to tell us that there was never a time when FSD was not available for sale. So, with all the FUD floating around I do not know if we will get the HW 3.0 upgrade for "free" or not. Ours seems to be a bit of an edge case though we are sure that there are hundreds if not thousands of owners in the same window as we were. We do keep in touch with the people at our local store on a fairly regular basis so we are hopeful that at some nebulous future time we will get a definitive answer. We also hope the manager we know stays there as he is an excellent person who actually does exactly what he says he will do.
In summary, we got exactly what we paid for and so am not looking for anything extra for free. We have received different answers regarding FSD and HW 3.0 at different times from different people. At this point we will not pay anything extra as we do not know what, if anything we will get from Telsa for the money already paid. Having said that, loving our 3. With all the frustrations dealing with Tesla on occasion, overall one of our better purchases. I have to give props to my lovely wife for insisting we get a) a Tesla, and b) the LR AWD. Have a nice day.
Head of Autopilot is no longer with Tesla, EM will most likely step into that role for direct leadership. It's just reasonable to expect a few days delay in the rollout because of the changes.
This chart is from February but it explains it well.

Time Frames
Legendary cattleman Charles Goodnight liked to say he was born the same year as the Republic of Texas — 1836 — and "joined" Texas when his family moved from Illinois to Milam County in 1845, the year of Texas statehood.
Goodnight had many links to North Texas: He ran cattle on the Brazos River for 10 years with stepbrother Wes Sheek beginning in 1857; as a member of Cureton's rangers, he participated in the recapture of Cynthia Ann Parker at Nocona's Comanche camp on the Pease River in December 1860; he partnered with Palo Pinto County rancher Oliver Loving in cattle drives to New Mexico in 1866 and 1867 along what became the Goodnight-Loving Trail, the story of which was adapted by Larry McMurtry into Lonesome Dove; and married his long-term sweetheart, former Weatherford school teacher Mollie Dyer, in 1870.
In the fall of 1875, he ventured to the Texas Panhandle and soon decided that Palo Duro Canyon was an ideal spot for what he dubbed the Home Ranch. In June 1877, Goodnight entered into a partnership with English investor John G. Adair, launching the JA Ranch. Goodnight retained one-third ownership and profits of the ranch and drew an annual salary to manage ranch business. When Adair died in 1882, the JA Ranch comprised more than 1.325 million acres grazing 100,000 cattle. Goodnight sold his interest in the JA Ranch in 1887 but contracted to manage the ranch another year.
He continued cattle ranching on a smaller scale, invested in a Mexican gold and silver mining venture, and maintained herds of buffalo, elk and antelope at his Goodnight Ranch, which became a popular tourist attraction. In 1898, he and his wife founded Goodnight College. Goodnight died in Phoenix in 1929.
Charles Goodnight is seated in the center of the front row in this photograph. Notes on the back of the photo tell us that it was taken at the JA Ranch on Nov. 29, 1921.

Open a tub of Lego Blocks in a group of kids and both boys and girls will begin to build. They will build cars, houses, spaceships, pyramids, everything they can imagine. The only limits to their creativity are how many blocks they have.
Lego is the ultimate unisex toy and its popularity is growing. Even adults enjoy building with those colorful blocks (Editor's note: to hear from 3 such adults, check out the "Building Up To It" podcast on the Bricks On The Dollar YouTube channel!). Lego even produces kits to build everything from a snow speeder from star wars to the apartment in big bang theory. These kits have made it possible for the most unimaginative person to build something cool. The build kits have brought more adults back into Legos than ever before.
Thanks to these little blocks, we have an imaginative outlet for both boys and girls as well as a gateway for budding designers. We know that using the imagination is good for our brain development but Lego adds another element to this. Manipulation of the bricks by both children and adults helps with those fine motor skills that are so important in our lives. Who would've thought that these little blocks were that multipurpose.
Lego has made it a point to market to all children (and adults). I was watching TV the other day and saw a commercial which brought a smile to my face. In this commercial were 4 children, 3 boys and a girl. They were playing with a Lego set from the Ninjago line. The interaction between these 4 children showed no gender bias and the girl had a lounger as well as the boys. Finally, a company has made it a point to not assume that only boys will want these toys.
I believe, that in the very near future, we are going to see more and more of this unisex marketing of toys. After years of placing boys in shop class and girls in home economics, we are finally starting to see the end of the divide. As the years move on, I am looking forward to attending more CON's and seeing more and more female involvement in the events. As for the social media groups, I am already seeing more and more ladies joining them all the time. To all the ladies that read this, I say it is time to let your inner geek goddess shine.
Just a quick addition and I will let you all go back to your lives. I am thankful that you have taken a minute to read these words. My geeky side has been blessed by having so many people accept me with open arms and I, for that, I am eternally grateful. Thank you all and have a great day.

First Lady of the ROC

If you've been around for a bit, you might remember Crabby Joe's, the bar on the Skid Row side of Main Street, (sometimes called 'Pain Street'), where you could stop in for a nightcap, a drug deal, even a fist fight if you felt like it. Then the police dropped the curtain in 2007.
Last year, the neighborhood bar that Main Street lost was replaced with the neighborhood bar it needed all along—Wendell, a cozy, old-school rock and roll joint with all the right charm.
The bar gets its name from the late mutual friend of the four owners, Wendell Green, who opened up some of the city's most legendary rock bars. Wendell the man was a no-frills drinker, and Wendell the bar holds a similar motto: keep it simple. They're best at the standard canon of cocktails—there's nothing too fancy behind the counter, but if you know what you want, they'll figure it out. It might even be better than you expected.
The craft beers on tap are about as local as it gets, roughly ranging from Angel City to Coronado. It's a familiar selection, but it's hard as nails. And what fun is a beer without a hot dog? Try the Chicago Lawnmower, an LA take on the classic Chicago dog—with all the traditional toppings fixed up in a salsa, so you won't lose half of them whenever you take a bite. See? Wendell's already looking out for you, and you've barely even met.
Although it's a new bar, Wendell is one of the places that marks the upturn of downtown. It's a stake in the ground, claiming one small space for the character of the neighborhood, with less of the old school danger. Already, the crowd is largely regulars. There are new faces almost every weekend, and then they become regulars too.

The Professional Gamer - December 13, 2013/
Hello everyone! This week has provided some time to continue my playthough of the The Wind Waker as well as take in a movie premiere. Read on for some further discussion.
I made some more progress through Attack on Titan, and there are strange things afoot. The second half of The Star of Milos did not improve my opinion of the move as a whole. Again, you are better off watching the original FMA series. Just last night (or this morning) I went to the opening of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I think I am going to need some more time to digest my opinion of the experience. In brief, I think it DoS is on par with the first movie. There are some good scenes and set pieces, however, I feel that they have not all been brought together into a cohesive whole. All that being said, Smaug himself is awesome and is worth the cost of the cinema experience.
At this point, I think I have explored all of the islands in Wind Waker that are currently accessible to me, and I am therefore going back to the main plot. At this point, I am exploring the Earth Temple with the help of Medli. I'm still enjoying the remake a lot, and hoping that I will actually be able to complete the game myself.
I am still working my way through my book. Hopefully, I can find some more time to read as we get into the holidays.
That's all for this week. Join me again next Friday for another weekly update of the Professional Gamer.

For the past month, Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden has been opening it's gates after dark to intrepid explorers, inviting them to enjoy the garden's exotic array of flora and fauna in (quite literally) a new light. This year's Botanic Lights, orchestrated by event management supremos Unique Events, allows visitors to explore the regions of the world from where many of the Garden's plants and trees originate. As in previous years, Hillside have been on design duty - tasked with delivering an identity to accompany this year's theme of exploration.
You can see a few examples of the work done by Team Hillside below:
We cannot stress enough that this is one of the coolest things you can do in Edinburgh at this time of year and, as predicted, tickets are selling out at light-speed. If you're looking to indulge your adventurous side without leaving the city then head over to botaniclights.co.uk and start your journey.
A very happy Friday to the thousands of Hillside blog readers - we know you're out there! The latest project off the Hillside production line is a bit of a departure from our usual work - a branding project that poked, pulled & prodded the Hillside team in a number of new and exciting directions before we landed on the final outcome.
To give you a bit of background, mapTrunk is the latest endeavour from Stirling-based GIS gurus thinkWhere. It's a brand new product that gives users quick & easy access to a range of digital mapping services online.
From the UI design of the app itself right through to the creation of a promo video we've worked closely with the team at thinkWhere to give this exciting new app the personality and accessibility which we're sure will set it miles apart from it's competitors.
You can take our word for it or go visit maptrunk.com and see what all the fuss is about for yourself.
Another great outdoor event in the Scottish Borders!
The Tweed Valley first ever Tunnel Trail Run took place on the first day of October, with fantastic views, plenty of sunshine and lovely autumn colours. The running course went through mixed woodland and into hills before diving into a lit-up old railway tunnel. An exciting running event and we're so pleased with how the branding turned out - very proud to be involved in yet another brilliant Scottish event!
We were delighted to attend the launch of Nutmeg Magazine last night, a brand new quarterly magazine offering a unique insight into the (unfortunately infrequent) highs & (unfortunately more frequent) lows of Scottish Football. Nutmeg is the latest endeavour from Edinburgh-based publishing consultants Palmer Watson and will provide a platform for both established and up-and-coming football writers in Scotland to air their views on the beautiful game.
Our contribution to the Nutmeg cause was the design and development of their website where visitors can buy single issues or choose from a variety of subscriptions. With the (beautifully designed) first issue now in the bag and interest in Scottish football on the rise, we're sure Nutmeg is destined for the top.
Tickets for Edinburgh's Hogmanay Street Party went on sale this morning to partygoers around the world. Also going live was the brand new design for edinburghshogmanay.com lovingly hand-crafted by the team at Hillside in conjunction with west coast code boffins Northcolour.
This year's event promises another unforgettable night of music and dancing - with live bands and DJs serving up the best in alternative, traditional and party music. Add to the mix an unbeatable atmosphere and the wonderful winter setting that is Edinburgh's city centre and you have the recipe for the world's most unforgettable outdoor party.
Stay tuned to our blog for further updates about Scotland's world-famous new year festival.
We're pleased to announce a new project hitting the world wide web this week as Botanic Lights launch their brand new website.
Botanic Lights is an event like no other where visitors are invited after dark to explore a one and a half kilometre trail of colour, light and installations all staged within the beautiful surrounds of The Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh. At botaniclights.co.uk visitors can get a taste of what's to come in October and November with exclusive photo and video content from previous years' events, and from what we've seen already we can't wait to see the spectacular display that this year's event has lined up.
If you're still reading after that dreadful opening pun then firstly I'd like to thank you for sticking with us and secondly, issue a warning that there are more to come.
This weekend Bearsden & Milngavie is gear-ing up for the 'Grand Depart' of the inaugural Big Bike Fest, a week long event aimed at chain-ging perceptions and promoting the vast array of cycling opportunities available in the local area. With a programme chock-a-brake-block full of cycling-themed events and activities (pedal powered cinema anyone?) there's definitely something for the cycle-ologist in everyone.
We may have already mentioned that we're a bit cyclo-pathic here at Hillside Agency so it's not an understatement to say that we were wheelie excited to be asked to produce the identity and website for this wonderful event.
To see what we've come up with and find out more about The Big Bike Fest you can pedal on over to thebigbikefest.org.uk.
We need someone with strong design abilities, a proficient understanding of Adobe Creative Suite, HTML, CSS and experience in designing and building responsive websites in WordPress. A basic understanding of SEO and some knowledge of JavaScript and jQuery is a bonus but not essential.
You must show a passion for developing interesting, creative design solutions and be able to work under your own initiative as well as part of our team. We're looking for someone with a 'can do' attitude and great social and communication skills. The role is perfect for a talented and motivated person who learns fast and is able to tackle assignments head on.
If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you. Please email a note of your interest and CV/portfolio to email@example.com
Already six weeks have passed since Edinburgh was full of party animals welcoming in 2016!
The event Scot:Lands on New Year's Day - the finale to three days of Hogmanay celebrations - is in true Scottish spirit! For one afternoon only you could explore ten different venues around Edinburgh's Old Town and experience the most amazing music, art and theatre by some of Scotland's most innovative artists. Hillside created an imaginative map for the day, where each illustrated island corresponded to a real event taking place. Watch this short animation and join us on a wee journey through SCOT:LANDS!!
Scot:Lands 2016 from Hillside Agency on Vimeo.
Another Friday is upon us and everyone at Hillside HQ is practically moonwalking with anticipation as we prepare to launch our latest web project - FYI: it's a biggie!
A few months ago we took a call from Danny Macaskill's (told you it was a biggie!) management team wondering if Hillside would be interested in developing a new website for Scotland's own YouTube megastar/worldwide cycling phenomenon/[insert superlative of choice here]. As everyone at Hillside is pretty nuts about bikes (trust us, we've got the christmas lists to prove it) projects really don't come much more exciting than this.
Stay tuned to the Hillside blog in the coming weeks for more insight into the creative process behind showcasing a body of work as unique and exciting as Danny's. For now, we're delighted to share the brand new and improved dannymacaskill.co.uk where you can check out all of Mr MacAskill's latest videos and pictures and find out where he'll be performing next on his Drop and Roll Tour.

Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare
A message from presidential candidate Mitt Romney
Today, the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare. But regardless of what the Court said about the constitutionality of the law, Obamacare is bad medicine, it is bad policy, and when I'm President, the bad news of Obamacare will be over.
It was always a liberal pipedream that a 2,700 page, multi-trillion-dollar Federal Government takeover of our health care system actually could address the very serious problems we face with health care. With Obamacare fully installed, government will reach fully half of the economy — that is the recipe for a struggling economy and declining prosperity.
On Day One, I will work to repeal Obamacare to stop the government's takeover of our health care and intrusion in our lives. I will push for real reform to our health care system that focuses on helping patients and protecting taxpayers.
We cannot afford Barack Obama's on-the-job learning, Big Government proposals, and irresponsible spending. Our basic liberties are at stake — and I will fight to restore our freedoms, renew the respect for our Constitution, and halt the government takeover of health care.
This November it's all on the line. The stakes couldn't be higher.
Lou Buren of TWAU BLOG: Mitt is right, this November it is all on the line. With Obamacare being deemed a tax and allowed to continue I believe America will show it's fury and overwhelmingly vote Obama and all liberals from office. For those of you who refuse to vote for Mitt because he's a mormon, I say to you right now it doesn't matter. We must take action and remove this socialist from office.
Or you can look forward to more big government power grabs by Obama. He and all the other liberal democrats must be voted out! The supreme court ruled incorrectly yesterday. America has a chance to rule correctly in November.

Letter from Washington — From the March 2017 issue
Ask anyone who was present at Hillary Clinton's presumptive victory celebration on November 8 and they will tell you of the stunned silence, broken only by sobs, that settled across the vast glass enclosure of the Javits Center in Manhattan. Upstairs, in the suite where the candidate was closeted with her family and associates, the trauma was even more intense. As one attendee later reported to me, it featured the "full range of human emotions: screams, shock, fainting. Bill moved immediately to blame." The former president, I was told, singled out campaign manager Robby Mook: " 'We should have fired that asshole months ago!' It was awful."
This funereal atmosphere was replicated wherever Democrats were gathered across the nation — with one instructive exception. In the Heights neighborhood of Houston, hundreds of revelers thronged bars along Studewood Street late into the night. "Any Houston Democrat who was anybody was there," Doug Miller, a local reporter, told me later. "I looked up at the TV screens on the walls, I could see the whole country turning red, but everyone there seemed happy!"
The reason was simple. Unlike the rest of the country, Houston Democrats had a full-scale Republican rout to celebrate. The party had swept the polls in Harris County, the vast region encompassing Houston, arguably the nation's most diverse city (as locals never tire of repeating). With 4.5 million inhabitants, the county is more populous than half the states in America. Now Harris voters had elected a Democratic district attorney — a very powerful post in Texas law enforcement — for the first time in thirty-six years. The Democrats had also captured almost every other slot on the ballot, including the tax assessor's office, which oversees voter registration: a crucial win in an age of Republican voter suppression.
Furthermore, these local victories carried over to the top of the ticket. Though it probably did little to lighten the mood in the Javits Center, Hillary Clinton trounced Donald Trump by more than 160,000 votes in a county that Barack Obama had carried by fewer than a thousand in 2012. While others in the defeated party were subsiding into melancholy, hand-wringing, and consolatory tales of Russian hackers, the county's newly elected sheriff, former Houston police sergeant Ed Gonzalez, was assuring supporters that he would defy any orders to round up undocumented immigrants. Across the street, the new D.A., Kim Ogg, promised her exuberant audience a progressive agenda: "We're going to have a system that doesn't oppress the poor."
Voter endorsement of such progressive positions, well to the left of anything Clinton promoted during her message-lite campaign, was all the more dramatic in this reddest of red states. The prospect of life under an administration populated with avaricious plutocrats, xenophobes, and religious fanatics may chill the blood of countless Americans, but Texans have been living in such conditions for decades. Pertinent examples abound, not least the unremitting legislative assaults on Texan women, the latest being a proposed rule requiring that fetal tissue from abortions or miscarriages be expensively interred or cremated. Add to that cash-starved public schools, cuts in services for disabled children, record-breaking numbers of uninsured, lack of compensation for injured workers, the wholesale gutting of environmental regulations, soaring inequality, hostility to immigrants, and multiple restrictions on voting rights. Texas may therefore serve as an example of what could be in store for the rest of us. "The Texas Republicans have done a good job on voter suppression," Craig Varoga, a Democratic political consultant and veteran of many election battles across the state, told me gloomily. "Now you're going to see the same thing happening nationally, with the blessing of the Department of Justice."
