Like bread for celeriac
I baked two loaves of sourdough rye and gave one to my friend the farmer. In exchange, she gave me two of these celeriac roots and six peppers. I'm inclined to say, "hashtag winning," but I hate that.
I baked two loaves of sourdough rye and gave one to my friend the farmer. In exchange, she gave me two of these celeriac roots and six peppers. I'm inclined to say, "hashtag winning," but I hate that.
My friend is a farmer who often gifts me with surplus produce and eggs that went unsold at the market that week, as well as berries or stone fruits she's baked into bars and cakes and breads. She found out she was pregnant in the spring, an appropriate surprise for a farmer who spent several hours a day sewing seeds while new life began to sprout in her. As the late summer harvest brings in heavier and larger fruits like watermelons and eggplants and her abdomen grows, she says she plays "the pregnancy card" more frequently. The men she works with are in their early 20s and are obliging, out of respect, but out of terror, too, she says laughing. I asked her if she's afraid childbirth. Not really, she said, but she's afraid of raising a child. Nurturing it, growing it properly. But she's a farmer who can grow a seed smaller than a fingernail into a tangle of vines and bake bright, sweet fruit into bars and cakes and breads. So I think she'll do fine.
I love this essay in Oxford American. It's from April but feels especially timely. I've been pickling a lot this summer. Whether its for nostalgia's sake or because I love both pickles and crafting (and pickle-making feels closer to the practice of knitting than it does to cooking), the sense of authenticity gained in the creation of piquant brine and packing raw vegetables into clear jars is undeniable.
People arrive at these "old timey" traditions having made the trek from so many different places. I grew up on an Air Force base where my single-parent mother prepared casseroles from Cooking Light recipes or turned frozen waffles into breakfast for dinner. There were commercially canned soups and generous shakes of Mrs. Dash on nearly everything. It's the sort of cooking decried by the Michael Pollans and Michael Ruhlmans, but my mother refused to let us eat McDonalds. She prepared every meal as cash-strapped and exhausted from work as she was with love and commitment to her two daughters. There's nothing inauthentic about that.
I didn't know what home canning was until a friend who'd been living in commune-style housing was visiting and knew exactly what to do with the 20-lb box of farm tomatoes I'd picked up for $12 at the farmer's market. They were from a mid-size farm and most certainly not organic, but they were local and inexpensive and perfect for preserving for the winter months, a perhaps more authentic nod to the traditions of the past. You probably won't ever catch me canning $4/pound heirloom tomatoes.

I especially love this anecdote, because my husband and I just signed up for an LA Fitness in our neighborhood that should be completed in December. We are both terrified and excited.

What's this "trademark protection" crap - "protection" implies that the reason people want the term trademarked ISN'T just so they can make a ton of money off other people if they want to use it. Make no mistake, Valve isn't applying for trademark to "protect" the term DOTA, it's all about money and it's always about money. Personally, if people think DOTA is a genre term or has the potential to BE a genre term (which, if this trademark is prevented, it could bump it from "maybe a genre, to some people" to "probably a genre"), then hell, go for it. There's no reason why Valve can't still call its game DOTA 2, it just means it won't have a lockdown on the term DOTA - which, frankly, I don't have a problem with. People are so trademark-crazy these days its ridiculous.

'The trouble with Kevin is that he is Kevin and can't change his ways.'
Rudd will continue to be a thorn in Gillard's side in the months ahead.
When Julia Gillard ordered her post-election review of the party, it seemed simply what a leader does after a poor campaign, unless you noticed the double agenda. The review was also to examine Kevin Rudd's years. Now it has come back to bite not just Rudd but Gillard too.
John Faulkner, Steve Bracks and Bob Carr produced a modest plan to give the rank and file more power, but the weekend ALP conference emasculated it. So Gillard is being condemned for failing to achieve adequate reform.
She copped more flak when the report's ''sealed'' section was leaked to discredit Rudd, in retaliation, it appears, for what was perceived as destabilisation during the weekend. A Sunday newspaper headline had declared that the ''clock's ticking'' on a challenge. The article reported that Rudd supporters were furious at Gillard snubbing her predecessor by omitting him from her speech opening the conference.
Not me, not me, cried Gillard, of the leak. But it was seen as coming from someone trying to help her, or maybe just to harm Rudd - because the leak didn't assist the PM at all. It simply turned into a big problem.
Inevitably, the pressure intensified for the report's ''secret'' part to be released, as Rudd, Faulkner, Bracks and Carr want, but not Gillard - who would have been more sensible to have had the report out there ages ago, rather than give the impression of hiding something.
The leaked report has become the latest irritant in the poisonous relationship between Gillard and Rudd - a relationship that will define the early months of Labor's new year.
Gillard and the government have been getting very modest improvement in the polls. But the dreadful base Labor vote means the leadership issue is only dormant, not dead.
Rudd, whose ambition to retake the prime ministership had been encouraged by Gillard's difficulties, is frustrated that no putsch was possible before Christmas. He finds himself in awkward limbo - not knowing whether the basic ground will be right for an early 2012 move, let alone whether he would have any chance of pulling one off in a party suspicious of him.
In the meantime, his nature and his impatience lead him into counterproductive acts of provocation and foolishness. These have included that amazing rock star appearance at a concert during CHOGM. There was Sunday's ''leader's'' speech when introducing the foreign affairs platform at the national conference. The previous evening he was at a Rainbow Labor celebration for the win on gay marriage - which he opposes.
The trouble with Kevin is that he is Kevin and can't change his ways. Every excess reminds people of the downsides of his time as leader. For example, before the conference he gave an address calling for much more radical party reform than that being urged by Faulkner and co. But this was the man who when leader took away the right of caucus to choose the frontbench.
Yet occasions such as his conference foreign affairs speech also remind people how well he can perform.
If the party feels it needs to replace Gillard, Rudd remains the only sensible alternative. But while you'd expect Rudd to be strutting his stuff, it is counterproductive for him to be out there dressed in the political equivalent of spangles, performing belly dances. He needs to be a whole lot more subtle, but seems incapable of it. He insists he must be himself, which is not always the best self to have on show.
His inappropriate campaigning, as well as annoying caucus members, does raise more questions of how he would be as leader second time around. It's delusional to think he would have transformed in style, but is there a danger he has gone backwards and would be even more difficult? Supporters would deny this, but it is a worrying thought for those who have little faith that Gillard can revive.
The Gillard-Rudd struggle will continue episodically. The PM's only option is to publicly feign a respect she does not feel, which she does much of the time. But why does she allow herself lapses, such as the speech's airbrushing? Surely she or her staff should have spotted the danger, or refrained from the indulgence?
Gillard has a clearer path ahead than Rudd. Rudd's hopes depend on a bad performance by her, and resulting poor polls. Her future is to a much greater extent in her own hands.
She has to look strong; the government has to beat Tony Abbott in the economic debate and exploit his weak points more effectively; and Labor has to be seen to deliver afresh in coming months. It also has to sell the message that it has already done a lot. There is some optimism among those around Gillard about 2012, especially now the parliamentary numbers are safer and after this week's good growth figure and interest rate cut. But given all that's happened since she became PM, it's an even bet whether she will falter or ''move forward''.
On the Rudd front, there are three options for next year. Things go really bad for Gillard and he challenges; her polling improves to the extent he regards his cause as hopeless and backs off; or he has a go anyway, to weaken her, in the hope of a later successful bid. There is a fourth nightmare option: Gillard holds Rudd at bay because the party still can't stand him, but Rudd does not give up his ambition or his public forays.

Iced Green Tea
Does anyone have any suggestions for making a large (around 2 litres) batch of iced green tea without it being bitter.
I've tried a couple of times with decent quality green tea bags and filtered water but it always tastes disgusting.
I sometimes buy Ito En Teas' Tea, which I love, but it's really expensive.
I just want to make a nice, unsweetened, crisp-tasting pitcher of tea.
I make my iced green teas using Maeda En sencha (green tea) bags & distilled water (which I use for drinking & cooking).
When I HAD a coffee maker, I would use that to make iced teas. Now, I let the tea bags steep in a pot of hot water for a couple minutes, add room temperature distilled water & refrigerate overnight. Never bitter.
Are you pouring warm/hot water over the tea leaves and letting them steep, and chilling the resulting tea? I have found that starting with cool water and letting it warm slowly over a heating pad will extract the mellow flavors and leave behind the bitter elements that you have mentioned.
I make iced tea via the sun-tea(gallon filled with cool water with tea and let steep in the sun for 8 hours) method and friends have noticed the difference in flavor.
I hope this helps.
re: Kelli2006
Kelli2006 is right, the sun tea meathod really is THE best way. Never bitter. I was making a wonderful green tea and ginger ice tea this summer. Wonderful! Put in about 3 or 4 tea bags and make sure to cover the top with cling flim.
Start by buying a good quality loose leaf tea. The stuff in bags (even the "good" bags) are leftover quality leaves. Brew a small amount of *very* strong tea (as in way too strong to drink), filter out the leaves, cool, then add water until it is the strength you are happy with.
At work, they've tried offering bottled green tea as an alternative to soda or soft drinks...one bottle listed 300 calories!!!!! And you could just taste the high fructose corn syrup in it, gag! That was ingredient #2 on the label after water. I feel like telling them: "Don't do us any favors!" Sheesh!
I also make sun-tea with green tea leaves infused thru a glass tea ball. Once the tea "brews" I add 1/4 cup of sliced navel oranges or tangerines.
I drink A LOT of iced green and white tea every day-like over a half gallon. All I do is brew the tea in a small amount of hot water, leave it in there for only a minute/minute and a half, strain it, and fill the rest up w/water and ice. I read that green and white teas get a bitter or astringent flavor only when they've been allowed to sit in the water too long. I've never had a problem w/it getting bitter using this method. I'm drinking it right now. Enjoy the antioxidants!

Steel in the News
Back to all posts
Posted by Tasha Weiss on May 17, 2013 at 12:57 PM.
In less than two weeks, nearly 50 university teams will converge at the University of Washington in Seattle to compete in the 2013 National Student Steel Bridge Competition finals, which take place May 31-June 1.
The competition challenges student teams with building their own designed and fabricated steel bridges, one-tenth the size of a full-scale bridge, under the pressure of the clock. Bridge rankings are based on a variety of factors, including: display, construction speed, stiffness, lightness, construction economy and structural efficiency.
The 49 student engineering teams that have qualified for the national competition were the top finishers at 18 regional competitions that took place across North America between January and April and included a total of 210 teams. (Click on the left image to view the list of qualifying teams.)
For more information about the competition, visit www.aisc.org/steelbridge or www.nssbc.info.

Another View -- Dan Itse: Who will defend the NH Constitution if we do not?
The readers were led to believe that this was a Second Amendment rally; it was not. It was a rally calling the legislators to honor their oath of office. As a speaker, I did not mention the Second Amendment once. The readers were led to believe that the Constitution of Virginia is somehow relevant to our laws. However, we do not live in Virginia; this is New Hampshire. The laws of this state are restrained or empowered only by the constitution of this state and the Constitution for the United States.
The readers were led to believe that Jack Kimball and Rep. John Hikel somehow rely upon Part 1, Article 38 of the constitution of the State of New Hampshire to justify the lawsuit and the petitions. That simply isn't true. Douglas called Article 38 precatory, implying that it holds no actual power, but is only advisory.
Article 38 was originally the last Article in our Bill of Rights, the capstone, to tie it all together. It puts the people firmly in charge of enforcing the Constitution upon those in government. The first two phrases could be considered precatory, though I would suggest hortatory (another arcane word meaning an exhortation):
"A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of the Constitution, and a constant adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, industry, frugality, and all the social virtues, are indispensably necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty and good government; the people ought, therefore, to have a particular regard to all those principles in the choice of their officers and Representatives."
The people are called to know their constitution and to use it as the measure of whom they send to work for them in government. The last phrase is anything but advisory: "And they (the people) have a right to require of their lawgivers and magistrates, an exact and constant observance of them (those principles), in the formation and execution of the laws necessary for the good administration of government." This phrase means the people have the right to require the legislators, governor and bureaucrats, and judges to strictly obey the constitution.
The right to submit petitions is codified in Part 1, Article 32, which gives the people (individually or collectively) the right to petition the Legislature when the government injures them. Are the petitioners aggrieved by the passage of an unconstitutional law? The justification to enter the law suit is provided by federal statutes on conspiracy and racketeering.
The editorial and column take the position that because the law was considered constitutional when it was adopted in 1977, it must be constitutional now, making it a mere policy decision. As we stated at the rally, this ignores two substantive and relevant changes that have occurred in the interim.
In 1982, the people adopted Part 1, Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution, which strengthens and makes explicit the people's right to defend their life, liberty and property with arms. In 2005, the Supreme Court of the United State, in Castle Rock v. Gonzalas, recognized that the police have no duty to protect any person against an assault. Specifically, absent a statute requiring that person be protected, and the funding to carry that statute into practice the police could not be required to protect a person from assault.
Part 1, Article 3 states that the Legislature is required to recognize that the failure to provide a protection promised in order to secure a surrender of a right makes the surrender void. Therefore, the Legislature must also recognize that a proposal to require a surrender of rights based upon a protection that cannot be provided for any reasonable cost, must be unconstitutional. This is especially true when the right to be surrendered is explicitly recognized.
Knowing that the police can never protect every person from assault all the time, the Legislature has no power to require any person to surrender their right of self-defense. While giving rhetorical lip service to "stand your ground," this paper's editorial and column writers undermine the very rights that justify it.

Hey there! My name is Henri and I am going to become a doctor in the future. I want to give you an introduction about Caribbean medical schools because many people attend them to become a doctor. Anyways, here goes.
Lots of US college or university graduates will attend a foreign med school as part of their venture to become a medical doctor. How come they chose a Caribbean med school? Should you apply to international medical school also?
Do you remember the year when you were petitioning for acceptance into colleges and universities, you delivered your applications to three different categories of schools:
If you are applying to med school, you will discover once again, three different categories: reach, competitive, and safety. The major change between applying to colleges and applying to med schools is the fact that it's substantially harder to enter into a school of medicine. Hence, a lot more individuals must depend on their safety colleges to get their med school education. In such cases, the safety colleges are the foreign medical schools.
Medicine is a really hard venture. Greater than fifty percent of a typical Caribbean class will not pass. Many people will fail out of their classes. With the chances piled against the foreign medical students when it comes to passing and getting a residency, when is it advisable to think about going to a foreign med school? When there exists no different selection, which means you have to become a physician and you are not able to enter into an US med school.
When I think of the Caribbeans, I think of the ocean, beach, and palm trees. Now throw in a bit, no, a lot of medical school and we're all set.
In the instance that you elect to enroll in a Caribbean medical school, it's really imperative to choose a school prudently. Read about the best Caribbean medical schools to aid you to make a sensible conclusion. The class size, the aid of the teachers and administration, the education costs, and more will all play a factor in your failure or success. You seriously should pick a school that gives you the very best odds to flourish.
A small school size may be important merely because you might receive extra consideration from the administration and teachers. Teachers and staff that could focus on you are valuable for the reason that they will are concerned about your victory, your graduation, and your education to be a medical doctor. A reduced educational cost is more desirable because if perhaps you do fail medical school classes, it will be not quite so dangerous to your future. An illustration of a low-cost non-US med school is Saba school of medicine. Likewise, with reduced financial obligation, you possess extra autonomy to select the health care specialty you adore in contrast to the medical area that compensates you the most.
To sum it up, an international medical school furnishes you a possibility to be a medical physician. Through proper struggle and luck, you could pass as a medical physician. It's also beneficial increase your chance of success. Consequently, select a school shrewdly.

Prior to the 20th century, Albania was subject to foreign domination except for a brief period (1443-78) of revolt from Ottoman rule. Albania declared its independence during the first Balkan War in 1912 and remained independent after the World War I largely through the intercession of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson at the Paris Peace Conference.
In 1939, Italy under Mussolini annexed Albania. Following Italy's 1943 surrender to Allied Powers during World War II, German troops occupied the country. Partisan bands, including the communist-led National Liberation Front (NLF), gained control in November 1944 following the German withdrawal. Since Yugoslav communists were instrumental in creating the Albanian Communist Party of Labor in November 1941, the NLF regime, led by Enver Hoxha, became a virtual satellite of Yugoslavia until the Tito-Stalin split in 1948. Subsequently, Albania's hardline brand of communism led to growing difficulties with the Soviet Union under Krushchev, coming to a head in 1961 when the Soviet leaders openly denounced Albania at a party congress. The two states broke diplomatic relations later that year; however, Albania continued nominal membership in the Warsaw Pact until the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia.
In 1945, an informal U.S. mission was sent to Albania to study the possibility of establishing relations with the NLF regime. However, the regime refused to recognize the validity of prewar treaties and increasingly harassed the U.S. mission until it was withdrawn in November 1946. The U.S. maintained no contact with the Albanian Government between 1946 and 1990.
During the 1960s, China emerged as Albania's staunch ally and primary source of economic and military assistance. However, the close relationship faltered during the 1970s when China decided to introduce some market reforms and seek a rapprochement with the U.S. After years of rocky relations, the open split came in 1978 when the Chinese Government ended its aid program and terminated all trade. Hoxha, still communist dictator, opted to pursue an isolationist course. The result was financial ruin for Albania.
By 1990, changes elsewhere in the communist bloc began to influence thinking in Albania. The government began to seek closer ties with the West in order to improve the economic conditions in the country. The People's Assembly approved an interim basic law in April 1991. Short-lived governments introduced initial democratic reforms throughout 1991. In 1992, the victorious Democratic Party government under President Sali Berisha began a more deliberate program of market economic and democratic reform. Progress stalled in 1995, however, resulting in declining public confidence in government institutions and an economic crisis spurred on by the proliferation and collapse of several pyramid financial schemes. The implosion of authority in early 1997 alarmed the world and prompted intense international mediation and pressure. Early elections held in June 1997 led to the victory of a socialist-led coalition of parties, which remains in power today.
President -- Rexhep Meidani
Prime Minister -- Pandeli Majko
Foreign Minister -- Paskal Milo
Ambassador to the United States -- Petrit Bushati
Ambassador to the United Nations -- Agim Nesho
President and Cabinet
The head of state in Albania is the President of the Republic. The President is elected to a 5-year term by the People's Assembly by secret ballot, requiring a two-thirds majority of the votes of all deputies. The next election is expected in 2002.
The President has the power to guarantee observation of the constitution and all laws, act as commander in chief of the armed forces, exercise the duties of the People's Assembly when the Assembly is not in session, and appoint the Chairman of the Council of Ministers (Prime Minister).
Executive power rests with the Council of Ministers (cabinet). The Chairman of the Council (Prime Minister) is appointed by the President; ministers are nominated by the President on the basis of the Prime Minister's recommendation. The People's Assembly must give final approval of the composition of the Council. The Council is responsible for carrying out both foreign and domestic policies. It directs and controls the activities of the
ministries and other state organs.
The Council consists of 17 ministers and nine state secretaries. The Socialist Party occupies the bulk of the cabinet positions; the Democratic Alliance, the Social Democratic Party, and the Agrarian Party each head one ministry.
Albania maintains an embassy in the United States at 2100 S Street NW, Washington, DC 20008 (telephone: 202-223-4942; fax: 202-628-7342).
The democratically elected government that assumed office in April 1992 launched an ambitious economic reform program to halt economic deterioration and put the country on the path toward a market economy. Key elements included price and exchange system liberalization, fiscal consolidation, monetary restraint, and a firm income policy. These were complemented by a comprehensive package of structural reforms including privatization, enterprise, and financial sector reform, and creation of the legal framework for a market economy and private sector activity. Most prices were liberalized and are now at or near international levels. Most agriculture, state housing, and small industry were privatized. Progress continued in the privatization of transport, services, and small and medium-sized enterprises. In 1995, the government began privatizing large state enterprises.
Results of Albania's efforts were initially encouraging. Led by the agricultural sector, real GDP grew by an estimated 11% in 1993, 8% in 1994, and more than 8% in 1995, with most of this growth in the private sector. Annual inflation dropped from 250% in 1991 to single-digit numbers. The Albanian currency, the lek, stabilized. Albania became less dependent on food aid. The speed and vigor of private entrepreneurial response to Albania's opening and liberalizing was better than expected. Beginning in 1995, however, progress stalled, with negligible GDP growth in 1996 and a 9% contraction in 1997. Inflation approached 20% in 1996 and 50% in 1997. The lek initially lost up to half of its value during the 1997 crisis, before rebounding to its January 1998 level of 143 to the dollar.
Albania is currently undergoing an intensive macroeconomic restructuring regime with the IMF and World Bank. The need for reform is profound, encompassing all sectors of the economy. However, reforms are constrained by limited administrative capacity and low-income levels, which make the population particularly vulnerable to unemployment, price fluctuation, and other variables that negatively affect income. Albania is still dependent on foreign aid and remittances from expatriates abroad. Largescale investment from outside is still hampered by poor infrastructure; lack of a fully functional banking system; untested or incompletely developed investment, tax, and contract laws; and an enduring mentality that discourages bureaucratic initiative.
The Government of Albania is very concerned with developments in the ethnic Albanian province of Kosovo in neighboring Serbia, particularly in the post-Dayton agreement period. While maintaining a responsible and nonprovocative position, the Albanian Government has made it clear that the status and treatment of the Albanian population in Kosovo is a principal national concern. Bilateral relations with Greece have improved dramatically since 1994. In 1996, the two countries signed a Treaty of Peace and Friendship and discussed the issues of the status of Albanian refugees in Greece and education in the mother tongue for the ethnic Greek minority in southern Albania. Tirana's relations with F.Y.R.O.M. remain friendly, despite occasional incidents involving ethnic Albanians there. Tirana has repeatedly encouraged the Albanian minority's continued participation in the Government of F.Y.R.O.M.

Miss Me With That Lyrics
I heard them all,
All them lies,
Lost count round and round a thousand times but here it comes another lie...
Whoa oh whoa ohhh...
U lost ur phone,
It slipped ur mind,
Promise the last time was the last time,
Already know what u are for say so say this... Don't waste ur breathe
Chorus: miss me with that...
The only part of u I wanna see is ur back,
Miss me with that,
Save it for the last one...
I just got over one
You better ask somebody about me... I know just what u'll ask
For say so
Saaay this
Miss me with that.
Verse 2: Are u hearing me?
Look in my eyes
I ain't gat any energy anymore... To fight no
I'm over this
This waste of time
Whoa oh whoa ohhh
Ur car broke down
U are working late
Or Maybe today is just... day
Already know wat u'll for say so... say this
Don't waste ur breathe
Bridge: I bet
But I'm shaking my hand like this
Don't know why but I still love u
Wanna trust u
But I caaant
So I'll be what u are about to say... Boy
Chorus till fade

It isn't clear what direction the Phoenix Suns are attempting to head in for 2013-2014, but they've added a young piece to their roster in the form of Dionte Christmas.
According to various reports, the Suns have inked Christmas to a contract after a strong showing with their summer league club. Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic has the details, and indicates that Christmas's contract is a "multi-year deal with a small guarantee on the first season". This should come as no surprise, as it is certainly team-friendly to hand out such a deal, and the upside is large if the player "pops" in the new situation.
Christmas is a 26-year-old journeyman at this stage, as he went undrafted out of Temple in 2008-2009. He is a versatile player who performed well as a scorer in the summer (more than 10 points per game for Phoenix's squad), and frankly the wing "logjam" in Phoenix is filled with mediocre options.
It is important to point out that Christmas inking this deal does not guarantee him a roster spot. Because of the small guarantee in the deal for year #1 and the Suns currently carrying 17 players, someone is getting cut with a guarantee in the 1st year, and it could very well be Christmas.
In the grand scheme, this is a minor move, but I like Christmas quite a bit, and Phoenix needs to be in the business of taking high-upside gambles at this point in their roster development.

Auto Industry to be Shocked by Tesla?
Patrick is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I know you've probably about had it with cheesy electric car titles but at least it grabbed your attention. Tesla's stock has surged the last two days as the electric car maker was upgraded to a "buy" by a Wall Street analyst from Wunderlich Securities. Now usually I am not one to suggest a buy position after Wall Street and the major institutions jump on board but that isn't yet the case. There are plenty of naysayers still doubting the young company. And for good reason too. Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) has not yet made a profit and has not truly made a long-term product just yet. Despite this one condition I think that Tesla may be a great stock for the next 2-5 years.
For a quick history of the company it was founded in 2003 by Elon Musk of PayPal and SpaceX fame. The goal of the company is to create quality electric cars for the average person. They started this mission off with the high end and high performance Tesla Roadster. With a $109,000 price tag and capable of 0-60mph in under 4 seconds it isn't your grandparents electric car. After selling over 2,000 and getting their name out there to the right crowd Tesla set its sights on a larger market. The luxury Model S sedan (you have to check out some of the photos) is their next step. It already has 8,000 pre-orders and is scheduled to ship this summer. Their next vehicle, based on much of the same technology, is the Model X, a crossover expected to come out in mid-2013. These are all building up to their goal of making a mass market, competitively priced, quality electric car which is still a few years off - though the announcement of a $30,000 model is due before years end.
So with an exciting story in the making is this all just a fairy tale that is never to be fulfilled? It comes down to three main questions. Will they stay on schedule and actually manufacture the cars? Will the cars sell? Will Tesla become profitable? First off the company has a number of debts and if they have many delays it may be too long before it becomes profitable and its creditors could swallow it. Luckily for Tesla they were able to buy a huge manufacturing plant in Fremont, California from Toyota (NYSE: TM). Toyota and GM went in on a joint manufacturing center in 1984 and had to pull out in 2010 due to cuts in production - giving Tesla a great facility at a bargain price. Additionally the plant is almost outfitted with all the equipment that Tesla needs to begin production. One of the main reasons that Wunderlich Securities upgraded Tesla to a buy rating was that they were impressed with the facility and Tesla's progress.
As far as their ability to sell, the cars are priced at $49,500 after a tax break of $7,500 which puts them above a lot of consumers. Despite this price Taylor Anderson at SeekingAlpha writes that less than 1% of the top 1% in the US needs to buy a Model S for them to meet their goal of 30,000 in the next two years - even less if international sales are strong. Additionally for consumers looking for a high end luxury car this is not an unreasonable cost. It is less than a medium range Lexus of comparable quality.
Finally, and the most important: will Tesla Motors become profitable? They have yet to make a profit but Elon Musk expects to break into the black in mid-2013. Besides the Roadster, the company's main source of revenue has come from the sale of powertrain components to larger companies such as Toyota and Daimler. It has to make a profit in its Model S and Model X vehicles to survive and the company plans to do just that. With 8,000 pre-ordered (on refundable deposits fyi) and a predicted 30,000 for the next two years, with the analyst from Wunderlich Securities saying that the car can "sell itself" and stating that he could easily see them selling 5,000 a quarter, the company seems set to reach its first goals. Once these cars are on the road and Tesla proves that it can manufacture in larger quantities more orders will come in and the stock will likely follow in the footsteps of the company's success.
Yes there are a number of questions Tesla has yet to answer: will electric cars gain in market share, do American consumers really want electric cars, will a large company come in and strangle them, will they be overtaken in technology by another company. But Tesla is planning on answering these questions through action. The company has begun to build a great reputation and its visibility is growing daily. The Chevy Volt from GM (NYSE: GM) has been trying to beat out Tesla but they have not been met with much success. Another supposed competitor, the Toyota Prius, isn't currently even in the same market with Toyota shooting for lower end consumers.
With some amazing vehicles and technology, a passionate management, and a dedicated CEO as one of the major shareholders, Tesla Motors is out to prove the doubters wrong and I think they have a shot. Not only do I think they have a shot but I think it could be a great opportunity for investors if they get in now. The company makes an environmentally sustainable product but it has not yet proved that it is fiscally sustainable and until then it will understandably be a gamble that everyone is not willing to take. If you are interested I encourage you to do some more research (Fast Company did a great overview of the company), take a look at Tesla's website and their cars, maybe even try to visit a dealership, and make an informed and independent decision.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Currently, much of what you see on the world-wide version of the web is focused on the topic of Halloween. In fact, a week ago I wrote some Halloween stuff so that you could get your stoke on. But I know that the human mind is much like a hot tub, filled with beautiful babes and friendly fellows. As soon as the one fat guy tries to jump in, water spills out, people evacuate, and someone's fingers get extra wrinkly. Another Halloween post=the fat guy. I'm not gonna write more Halloween stuff. I don't want to mess with your hot tub.
INSTEAD, I'm going to write about other awesome October stuff. What else is awesome about October?
Hold on a second I'm sure there is something. I just gotta think.
Okay, if your parents did a special kind of dance in late January or February, you probably were born in October. Happy Birthday! If you don't know what I'm talking about, ask them.
But you don't want to think about that, so let's keep thinking. Awesome stuff in October:
Sometimes it starts snowing in the mountains in October. I've definitely had some good days skiing in October. Sometimes it's a hike up before the lifts open, but occasionally a good enough storm comes in and mountains will run a lift or two this month. That is pretty sweet!
The picture above was taken this year on October 6th. It was Utah's first snow and it BARELY snowed. But it was enough for Dylan Thompson to start crushing.
Which reminds me- Snowboard/Ski movies premiere in October! Those are awesome! You know what is sweet about those movies, besides the amazing display of mind-blowing skill? The soundtracks. Much of the best music to ever travel to my brain (via Skullcandy Headphones, obvi) was discovered after watching a ski movie. So, add "New Music" to the list of good October stuff.
Let's see, what else…
I've actually been doing a ton of rock climbing this October. The temps have been good, and the rocks are extra rocky this time of year (it's science). Climbing my heart out right up until sunset- that's good Octobering for sure.
Oh Duh! Oktoberfest. That's cool! Eat yourself some schitzel, or some shpaetzel, okay Hans?
I just got a message from headquarters informing me that Oktoberfest sometimes happens in September. Septemberfest?
Okay, I did some research on the google and apparently October is National Pizza Month. I should've known this because Pizza is what I hope to be buried in when I die someday. I wish I could live in a house or hut made of pizza. I wish a small Roman emperor would bring me pizza every day on a spear. I wish I had a father named John or Murphy, and they would bring pizza to my bed for breakfast everymorning and I'd say "Thank you, Papa!" None of those wishes will probably come true- but if I were to wish that an entire month be dedicated to pizza- well, that has come to pass. October, thank you for being awesome.
Oh, and Jean-Claude VanDamme was born in October. So was the Fonz. What do you like about October? Pizza and what else?
Please wait...

When Asmeret Asefaw Berhe [1]started college, her initial goal was to become a medical doctor.
But over time, she diverted her attention to research [2], focusing on the applied aspects of natural science. She left medicine behind and chose another career that is a bit more "grounded."
She is a soil scientist.
Berhe joined UC Merced's School of Natural Sciences [3]earlier this year and teaches soil science courses and conducts research relating to terrestrial biogeochemistry.
While helping people take care of their physical health was a noble endeavor, Berhe's passion for sustainable management of environmental resources and desire to advance society's understanding of the role the soil system plays in climate change swayed her decision.
She studied soil and water conservation [4]while an undergraduate at the University of Asmara in Eritrea, where she is from originally. Eritrea is located in northeast Africa and borders the Red Sea.
When she came to the United States to earn a master's degree at Michigan State University, she studied political ecology to better understand the scientific, social and political issues that affect land use. "I felt that I needed that social science perspective in order to see the bigger importance of what (soil scientists) do," Berhe said.
At UC Merced, Berhe's research aims to understand how changing environmental conditions affect vital soil processes. Her lab [5]studies soil processes in areas where the land has or is experiencing natural and/or man-made perturbations. She and her team examine how soil is impacted by factors such as climate change, erosion, fire and even armed conflict.
Growing up during Eritrea's struggle for independence from Ethiopia, Berhe saw first-hand how the devices of war - specifically landmines - affected a nation's people and their environment.
"Landmines are mostly discussed as a humanitarian issue," Berhe said. "You rarely hear of landmines in terms of the role they play in land degradation but it's a horrible reality that people in some parts of the world have to live with every day. Even after the war stops, the landmines are still there. People have to live in environments where their natural resources are destroyed or they can't access remaining resources for fear of landmine explosions."
Her chosen field allows her to engage in applied science. "I was not a fan of pure science," she said. "I wanted to do something more practical, work that I could feel and touch and things that readily affected people's lives."
Berhe isn't the only one in her family interested in soil. Husband Teamrat A. Ghezzehei [6], teaches soil physics here at UC Merced.
"I feel like this area is perfect for what we do," she said. "It's a prime research location."

I've used this product for quite a time. At first glance, the fit and finish looks good, light, easy to handle. The SWM is a great addition for users of all entry level camera bodies, AF speed is acceptable and MF override is possible. Image quality wise, TREMEDOUS, it goes beyond my expectation even at widest aperture (though contrast dropped just a little), sharpness is great at the center, the corner is not bad, then everywhere looked tack-sharp just around F2.8 - 4. Background blur is a little harsh wide-opened and becomes most pleasing around F2.8 All in all, if you're a DX shooter, go to buy this lens now, I know you'll love this just like me.

This is a very sharp lens with crisp contrast. The colors are snappy and the color cast is neutral. The area of caution for me is the bokeh. If you want this lens for general picture making and/or available light-type photography, it's a good choice. I got it because I needed a lens that I could use at large apertures for full-length to waist up portraiture. It has a good angle of view on my D300s, but the bokeh is not smooth. It's passable with simple backgrounds, but if there is anything visually complex in the distance it doesn't smooth out. Instead, you get these weird patterns going on that are only a little less distracting than if I stopped the lens down. I've tried everything from wide open down to f/4 and nothing really looks very good. I understand there are limits with shorter focal length lenses, but I thought Nikon might give us something more here. But hey, it's a very low priced lens, so...

Nikon could Make It More Better
By Irfan
from Undisclosed
Comments about Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f1.8G Lens:
I am using this lens from last 15 months. Initially I was happy with this lens when I bought my first DSLR because it was really sharp and having wide aperture f/1.8 . But after having some experiences about different aspects of quality photo e.g. distortion, chromatic aberration etc. of this lens started to disappoint me. This lens creates quite barrel distortion that I hate to see in the photo. Even 18-55mm kit lens can produce distortion free photo at 35mm. And this lens creates high chromatic aberration which I don't like to have in the photo. On the other hand 50mm f/1.8G is better lens from every aspect. Now I have 50mm f/1.8G and I want to sell 35mm f/1.8 lens.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Incredible lens!
By Photographer
from NH
I purchased this glass for use with my [new] Nikon D7100, and I was absolutely thrilled with the shots I achieved! It's lightweight, inexpensive, and really fun to use, actually. It's really great when you are shooting in low-light situations. I am enthralled by this lens; the magnificent clarity, the amazingly smooth bokeh, the astounding depth of field, and the solid feel and flawless performance. I would recommend this to any photographer; the beginner, the enthusiast, and the professional.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Excellent general purpose lens.

I use the 35 mm f1.8 prime lens along with my 18-55 Kit lens and 55-200 tele-zoom lens. Light weight camera bag but 28 mm up to 300 mm range (D3100 DSLR) for nature and travel pictures. Recommended for all.

From beginners to the very experienced, this lens produces great sharp and bright images on DX Camersa such as my D3100 and FX such as my D800. All around lesns, amazing price, crazy light. Nice quality plastic.
A great addition to your lens lineup

Comments about Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f1.8G Camera Lens:
This lens is a great all-around prime to complement a zoom (or two). It's sharp and fast -- and very affordable. Lightweight, compact, well-built... fun to use. An excellent choice for serious beginners or enthusiasts.

Great All-Purpose Lens
By ChrisMoSquad
I love this lens! It has good build quality and the focal length is perfect for shooting walk around photography without any distortion. Images are super-sharp and it adds just the right amount of weight to my D7100 camera. Low-light photography is excellent! I highly recommended trying one out!
Outstanding and Highly Cost Effective
By ExPatinItaly
from Ascoli Piceno, Italy
Truly exceptional sharpness and contrast. I'm a long time Nikon user and adding this fixed focal length lens to the stable of contemporary zooms has been a great choice. Terrific in low light candids. Also outstanding in landscape and architectural shooting with color, sharpness, contrast and minimal distortion unexpected at this price. I'm personally enjoying revisiting the earlier days when composition was done with a fixed focal length prime, of course then on a rangefinder 35 mm camera. Interesting how going back to basics sharpens skills.
Go getter
By D50owner
Lightweight, good color/contrast, good responsiveness.

The best value lens Nikon makes
By giggingit
from Suffolk, VA, USA
I already have a 50mm 1.8/G for use on FX, which I use with my D600, so I almost decided not to buy this lens. However, the price is too good to pass up. I have been very pleased with this decision. Focusing capability is quite fast on my D7100, and the pictures are clean and crisp. Low light performance is great. Bokeh isn't quite as nice as the 50/1.8, but when used stopped down their performance is equal. I especially enjoy how light the 35mm is and it is well sized to match a DX body.
#1 lens you need for DX camera
By dandi
from Seattle, WA
If I have to keep only one lens for my D5100 or D200 it would be this 35mm 1.8. When I go on vacation and I know I have to walk a lot I just take one this lens and never miss any other lenses. Very simple to use, nothing gets in your way, yet excellent quality, colors. Very good in low light. Fast, very sharp, light and inexpensive. You can't go wrong with this one for your DX Nikon body.

Proteins are complex molecules made up of smaller components called amino acids. Each protein can consist of up to 500 amino acids, which are combinations of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur atoms.
Proteins, Carbohydrates, Lipids & Nucleic Acids Information
Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids are important components of the human body. Each are essential to keep the human body functional and active, the first three absorbed through the digestive process and the fourth, created from those components. While proteins, lipids and carbohydrates are found in the foods that we eat, nucleic acids reside in our cells.
Carbohydrates are molecular compounds consisting of three atoms, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen where the carbon is attached to a water molecule. Carbohydrates are divided into two main categories of simple and complex sugars. Examples of simple sugars are candy and fruit, where complex sugars include pasta and potatoes.
Lipids are a large category of fats and oils, including fatty acids, lipoproteins, phospholipids, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes and glycolipids. Lipids contain carbon-hydrogen combinations with a chain at the end called a carboxyl, which is one carbon atom with an oxygen on one side and an oxygen-hydrogen pair on the other side.
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are complex components consisting of a phosphate molecule, a special sugar called a ribose sugar, consisting of the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen combinations: CH2 O OH and a hydrogen-nitrogen-oxygen base. There are only five possible bases: Adrenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine and Uracil.
Overall Function
The human body uses protein to grow and repair tissues, where it breaks down carbohydrates into sugars as an energy source. The body uses lipids for cell membrane structure, as an energy source, they carry vitamins and antioxidants. Nucleic acids form the basis for DNA, which is the blueprint for life and RNA, which is the instructions to build life.

I want to write briefly about a program that is available on the Internet called Capture His Heart and Make Him Love You Forever (relationship and dating advice).
I know there is a great deal of cynicism about programs like this, but the simple truth of the matter is that they can be extremely useful in enabling people to build an intimate relationship which provides them with fulfilment and emotional satisfaction.
I should emphasise that Capture His Heart has been reviewed very thoroughly in a number of places, including by me, a practising therapist and counselor, and it has been applauded by everybody who has seen it. You may wonder what the qualifications are to write an Internet program consisting of dating advice: well, they probably are just about the same as the qualifications to write an Internet site offering advice on any subject — that is to say, that you have experience in the field, you can write well, you're an intelligent individual, and you simply know what you're talking about.
I don't mean to be facetious when I say this, because actually those are all very specific and quite essential attributes. The individuals in question are Claire Casey and Michael Fiore, who are experienced in the field of relationship advice and Internet programming. Together they have brought the skills necessary to bear are very helpful and essential program which can enable people to build intimacy and enjoy happy and successful relationships.
Michael Fiore starts his program by offering insightful women into the behaviour of men, explaining what makes men behaving the way they do, and what motivates them to pursue women in a relationship.
He provides great emphasis on traditional gender roles, a viewpoint which may not be popular with feminists, with which I fully is agree, mostly because my own understanding of human nature gathered over years of therapy and counselling is that we are most fulfilled when we operate within the dictates of our genetic inheritance.
And there is nowhere that the genetic inheritance we have within us influences our behaviour than in the area of dating and relationships. You may not believe this now, but I would suggest that after you've reviewed Mike Fiore's program, Capture His heart and Make Him Love You Forever, you may well have good reason to change your mind!
I've heard from hundreds of women, who have told me that quite literally that they have never understood male behaviour in a way that Michael Fiore has explained.
And I can confirm, having bought the program, that he and his co-author, Claire Casey, have indeed broken down male behaviour into its fundamental components, and offered an explanation for women of male psychology which is certainly one of the best available on the Internet.
Now of course establishing a successful relationship is not just about understanding the behaviour of the opposite sex. Indeed, you need advice on dating behaviour, intimate relationships, dealing with your own emotional issues, and coming to understand your partner in a way that builds trust and intimacy.
The great thing about capture his heart and make him love you for ever is that it provides all this information in a simple form that people can readily understand without entering into a complicated process of counselling and therapy.
The short fact of the matter is that I don't think you will find a better relationship advice program this one anywhere on the Internet.

The Pledge Reviews
Fresno Bee
Penn gets bogged down in his own grand vision.
The dreary film makes promises it doesn't deliver on, pulling the rug out from under us without really letting us step on it in the first place.
Full Review | Original Score: C+
Big Picture Big Sound
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
There's very little compelling, or even memorable, about it.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Flick Filosopher
Thoughtlessness is no excuse ... for so revolting a film that The Pledge ultimately is. I couldn't wait to get out of the theater just to get the stink of it off me.
Movie Metropolis
...a resolutely low-key and solidly unconventional exercise in frustration.
| Original Score: 6/10
It has all the right credentials, so why is it such a muddled mess?
As enthralling as it sometimes is, there isn't any point to the relentless grimness.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
San Diego Metropolitan
The problem is Nicholson. He sleepwalks through the part in a cloud of ubiquitous cigarette smoke, stiff, uncomfortable, and looking like he wishes he'd never signed that contract.
A movie as unsatisfying as it is ambitious.
We left with a feeling of lethargy that made watching The Pledge hardly worth the effort.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
Other than re-iterating the well-known fact that 'life sucks,' I didn't really get much out of this movie.
Full Review | Original Score: 6/10
Laramie Movie Scope
The film is more exciting that watching paint dry, however, because of great work by some very talented actors.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Talking Pictures (U.S.)
The story falls into the trap of using too many twists, red herrings and coincidences.
So logy and doom-laden that watching it feels like a hike through waist-deep snow.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/10
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Drags us through dark places, without convincing us it's a journey worth taking.
Full Review | Original Score: C-
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Great acting doesn't compensate for weak writing.
Los Angeles Times
Penn's unending parade of unhappy situations is simply too insistent, his suffocating, claustrophobic worldview more of an assault than the revelation he perhaps hopes it will be.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
While it's never uninteresting, and its story moves sinuously, quite deft and engaging ... it eventually becomes overbearing.
Hollywood Report Card
Moving with the speed of a paddle-boat upstream, the bulk of the movie is about as exciting as watching someone fish.

Thats pretty cool actually
......That is extremely pimp!
Now all I need is a home ......with walls..... to put something like this on!
probably end up breaking the dock connector off because of moving stuff off and on the shelf. cool never the less....
It looks different, but I like it!
not versatile. if you don't have the exact right setup, well, you can't exactly cut it to size.
great idea, just a little bit pricey for my likings
Hasn't anyone every broken an iPod with a mount like this? Manufacturers like to put the iPod on top, out in front, in the middle, and completely unprotected. I don't expect manufacturers to build a vault around the iPod, but when the iPod is on top of the item, it just looks like it is in a precarious position.
Good idea but the design is crap. Needs some super futuristic design and u might have the good item to sell. Oops forgot to patent it. Damn
I'd buy one
you'd rather do that?
why not elevate the dock put it in a corner and design a fitting elevation opposite. put (mac)books inbetween.
I like it. Will build one myself though. Wow 600 bucks ? What kind of wood is it? I got a Philips Dock for 99.00 from wall-mart. Has sub-woofer, remote, usb, sd card, swivel dock, sounds great!!. I made the wood shelf on 2 milk crates
Here is a pic http://www.cmoslabs.com/sale/iPoddock.jpg
Hahahahaha - a $600 Ikea shelf - hahahahahahaha!!!
Still amazes me how cheesy some people are. Make one? Seriously?
You know, taking your jigsaw and "moding" some speakers into a piece of wood isn't the same thing as a stylish, well done and perfectionized shelf. You guys do realize that this product is targeting people where a) money is not an issue and b) people that have an eye for detail?
Ahhh, some people.

Photos: Samsung's Windows 8 ATIV tablets embrace x86 and RT
Summary: Samsung is aiming to beat its rivals in the Windows 8 arena and make inroads in the enterprise by offering a range of products, including the ATIV Tab, ATIV Smart PC and ATIV Smart PC Pro.
3 of 7Image
On the rear of the Samsung ATIV Tab, there's a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, capable of capturing full HD stills or 720p video footage.
It also has a micro-HDMI out port, Bluetooth 4.0 and some Samsung features such as a ChatOn mobile, a cross-platform IM service, Samsung Hub, and a Samsung Picks section in the Windows 8 app store.
Image: Ben Woods
On the edge of the ATIV Tab's chassis is a microSD expansion slot that will support cards up to 64GB, and the tablet comes with 32GB or 64GB of internal storage as standard.
It has a full-size USB port, and buyers can choose to add 3G or 4G LTE connectivity.
The tablet measures just 8.9mm thick, making it slightly slimmer than Apple's recently announced fourth-generation iPad.
Samsung has not said how much the tablet will cost nor when it will launch in the UK.
Image: Ben Woods
The ATIV Tab runs the RT version of Windows, which means it can't use existing x86 apps developed for Windows 7 or Windows 8. By contrast, the ATIV Smart PC (shown) uses the full-fat version of Microsoft's new OS, which can run either 'Windows 8 style apps' (formerly called Metro) or traditional desktop apps.
Launched first at IFA at the end of October, the ATIV Smart PC is a tablet with an 11.6-inch, 1,366-by-768-pixel display that can dock into a keyboard for a more laptop-like experience.

At just over 2.5 inches long the LED Lenser K3 LED Key Chain Flashlight is a highly convenient keychain-ready light, perfect for your purse, pocket, glove compartment and much more. Despite its compact size, the K3 LED flashlight still provides you with 14 lumens of super bright white light, plenty for close range illumination of your car, bedroom, or anywhere else. This is the perfect mini flashlight for constant carry so it's close at hand when walking to and from the car, home or office at night.
The K3 LED Lenser key chain flashlight features the Blue Moon Focus System, an innovative technology from LED Lenser. The Blue Moon system separates the blue spectrum from the white, then sends the blue tint to the exterior of your beam. The result is an clean bright light cone bordered by a blue ring that helps define the beam's boundaries of the area. Blue Moon optics make reading and general viewing at night or in dark areas easy on the eyes for far less eye fatigue and strain.
