To awaken your inner fangbanger, HBO has been slowly releasing a collection of extended clips from the fifth season of True Blood. We've rounded them up, along with a healthy dose of images and leaked items, to create a massive spoilery guide to the new season.
One thing stands out right away, there are a crap-load of big bads this year — let's hope they all have sex with each other!
Bill and Eric Will Finally Have Sex! Probably, Maybe.
We've been waiting, and True Blood is ready to deliver. This season the Vampire Viking and the Vampire Mime will cast off the yellow-headed distraction known as Sookie, and throw down with each other. It's all there in this sex loaded quote Alexander Skargard gave E Online!:
"There's a bit of a bromance between going on this year between Eric and Bill...It's fun because I love Stephen Moyer to death, and after four years of butting heads, this is more like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. We have a common enemy and we have to team up this year."
These two are like the Ross and Rachel of the vampire world. We're on pins and needs will they won't they, looks like they finally will. Or maybe they'll just go on a road trip together. We can hope, though.
Pam and Eric are on the Fritz
Last season we watched all of Pam's beautiful flesh fall off, and Eric put on basketball shorts and pout. What. A. Nightmare.
Of course the eternally faithful Pam would be pissed, and lash out against Sookie and her "precious fairy vagina." But now the shit has hit the fan and in this latest clip we can see that things are still not OK between Eric and Pam. It's a whole new side of Pam — and if Eric sets her free, he's an idiot. This is your vampire baby, and she's totally amazing!
Terry Takes the Lead
Scott Foley (Felicity!) helps the noble Terry take on a leading role this year, as the character Patrick Devins, . Lowe was Terry's platoon leader in Iraq, and from the looks of this clip a lot of really horrible shit happened over there. We assume magic was involved, because nothing is simple in Bon Temps. But if that means more Terry time, then we're in, 100%.
Russell Is Back, Thank Satan
Sookie and Lala might be "done with all this supernatural bullshit!" according to this clip — but if the Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington, is back, then everyone is fucked.
Finally a main character we can cheer for, someone who not only has a backbone of his own, but rips them out of humans on television! Whatever deal Ball had to make with Lucifer to get Denis O'Hare on his show, it was worth it. All the scenery-chewing crazies on the small screen should take a page from this villain. In other villain news, Rev. Steve Newlin is also back, and possibly a vampire — but that seems like a pretty huge reveal to show in the trailer. Maybe he's just on v-juice and has fake fangs. Then again he was vampire zooming all over the place in this footage. Not sure how to feel about a Vampire Steve. Will he still be in love with Jason?
Vampire named Roman and a member of "The Authority". And thank goodness for that, we are sick and tired of everyone simply name checking "The Authority" on this show, it's high time they got their asses out from behind the cameras and onto the screen. And there's no better actor on the face of the planet than Meloni to represent the oldest of all vampires everywhere. Do you think he'll have an accent? Oh my God the possibilities.
More Fairies, Yay?
Remember Claude the fairy who helped Sookie escape fairy land with fairy grenades? Well, he's part of a fairy triplette of Claudine (the fairy Eric drank and killed last season) and Claudette. Which HA. HA HA HA HA HA *wipes tear from eye* thank you, thank you so much, True Blood.
Anyway, the third member of this fairy triad will be stopping by in season five, according to Deadline. Her name is Claudette, that's right, Claude with and ette added to it! She's supposed to give insight to Sookie on the fae way. Good luck with that, Claudette!
Eric Has a Kissing Sister?
Is this the same brunette we spied Eric kissing in the trailer? If so yuck! This is Eric's Vampire Sister, sired by wee baby Godric to be a part of their Vampire Family! She's played by Lucy Griffith, and she told TV Guide this about her character:
"She's an irreverent British lady who we think was turned during Elizabethan or Victorian times. It's been years since she's seen Eric, and she is very excited. She looks up to him, but they've had a fiery love/hate relationship in the way that brothers and sisters do."
Hooray for more British vampires! And more Authority! So many big-time vampires around this year, it's getting very, very interesting!
Baby Jessica?
Only one question remains, where the hell are Baby Vampire Jessica and Hoyt? The only image we have of here is this promo shot HBO released. Hoyt remains lost. He'd better not be dead — we baked him special biscuits!

In response to
Shame on them
As a customer of Padre Dam Municipal Water District it was disturbing to learn that hefty pay raises were given to their top management
staff while the district faced budget deficits -- at the same time rank and file employees were laid off, a hiring freeze instituted,
and significant labor benefit concessions were made by employees. The district's claim that top management salary hikes were justified
due to non-management workforce reductions, thus they must work "harder" -- is an oxymoron of the highest order. Cutbacks during a fiscal crisis should apply to every individual from top to bottom of an organization. Apparently Padre Dam believes otherwise and instead is placing the burden on the backs of its rank and file employees. Shame on them!
Fred J. Heske
Well, well
I am building a new house in the Padre Dam Water District. I went to their headquarters to inquire about a water meter. Never mind the $30,000 cost to hook to their water system, which gives you the privilege to pay their high rates, but they were the most arrogant bunch of buffoons you could imagine. It doesn't surprise me that they raise their rates at will, after all they are a monopoly. Where else can the Padre Dam customers get their water? Luckily, my wife and I were able to locate and drill a well. Happy to say the well pumps 12 gpm. They can raise the rates all they want, doesn't bother us.

At 7 p.m. July 10, Susan Trump, a singer and instrumentalist who lives in Newtonville, will bring her mountain dulcimer, voice and vast knowledge of music to the East Greenbush Community Library for a performance that will "touch the heart, recall the past and inspire the times ahead," as stated in the library's newsletter. Prior to her appearance, she shared some thoughts about music with Greenbush Life. Q What attracts you to the types of music you perform? A The music I play today is a combination of Americana and uplifting songs. Spending summers with my grandparents in a small town in Ohio instilled in me a love and appreciation for the front-porch-friendly existence of life in a gentler time. My parents were both musical, and we'd often gather around the piano for a family-sing on Saturday night. That's where I learned to love the old songs. Q What performers did you listen to? A During the 1960s, we were all surrounded by the folk music of the day: Peter, Paul and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, and John Denver. The universal message in the music was irresistible to me. It connected us all to something much bigger than ourselves. I picked up a guitar and was hooked. A few years later, I added the banjo and then fell in love with the sound of the mountain dulcimer, a four-stringed, hourglass-shaped instrument from the Appalachian Mountains. Q What's special about the mountain dulcimer? A The dulcimer was developed by the Scots-Irish, who settled the Appalachians. They incorporated into it the characteristic drone sound reminiscent of the bagpipes. The versatility of the instrument is quite remarkable. While respecting the elegant simplicity of the mountain music, modern players have taken the instrument to new genres, including jazz, classical, bluegrass, Celtic and even rock. Cyndi Lauper wrote the classic "Time After Time" on the mountain dulcimer. I find it to be the perfect fit to accompany many of the reflective songs I sing -- and I also enjoy an occasional moment of reckless abandon with an upbeat Irish or American fiddle tune. Q You teach students to play music. What factors help you determine whether someone is a good student? A Anyone with a desire to learn is the perfect student for me. The fun is in the process and the sense of community that is created when people play music together. Interest in learning to play the mountain dulcimer is growing. While I spend a good deal of time teaching at music camps and festivals in the Midwest and South, there is lots of interest in the Northeast and right here in the Capital Region. The Dulcimer Association of Albany hosts two major festivals, one in March and the Cranberry Dulcimer Gathering coming up July 26-28. Mountain dulcimer students range in age from 10 to 90! Q Why should people come to your performance at the library? A I'm looking forward to the library concert and the opportunity to play closer to home. I've got some new songs that sound like old ones with great choruses for audience participation. I'll be playing the guitar, mountain dulcimer, banjo -- and a fretless banjo made out of groundhog skin by a third-generation banjo maker in North Carolina. People say my music reflects the past and inspires the times ahead. I do tend to be rather spontaneous, so, while I hope some inspiration takes place, I'm sure we'll share a few laughs along the way as well. For more about Susan Trump, go towww.susantrump.com
. To register for her performance on July 10, go towww.eastgreenbushlibrary.org
and click on "Events & Classes." Her appearance is funded by the Friends of the Library.

A Letter
This is a letter I wrote for my friends and family when my husband deployed on
April 25th, 2001 with the USS Enterprise.
Here are some pictures i took this morning as i stood on the dock, huddled with
other wives, husbands, and family members, waving to our loved ones standing on
the back of the ship. I watched through teary eyes as Dan stood against the
rail, waving, blowing kisses and snapping pictures of me from time to time. I
tried to smile but it was just too hard.
Trying desperately to compose myself in front of others, i stared at him,
trying to burn his face into my memory, because i know it will be six long
months before i can touch him again. But my heart sinks lower as i hear the
sound of music begin to play across the water, Lee Greenwood's "Proud To Be an
American", a song that will never have the same sound, or meaning to me again.
It took everything God gave me not to kick and scream and pull my hair out and
jump in the water in front of me that was separating me from my love, my life,
my everything.
I stood frozen, that panic building inside me, tears streaming down my face as
people around me yelled out to their loved ones "I love you", and they yelled
I watched as the ship pulled farther away and he began to turn into the blur
that was the crowd of sailors standing around him. I waved my arms over my head
hoping he could still pick me out in the distance. The ship began to turn at
the end of the pier and floated slowly out of sight, but we stood there anyway.
One by one, we picked up our aching hearts and retreated. I pulled myself into
the truck and buried my face in my hands and cried like a baby as the grief
just completely overwhelmed me. I sobbed all the way home as i tried
desperately to stay in my own lane on the road. I thanked God as i thought of
the young, pregnant woman standing next to me on the pier. My heart goes out to
her, for this is her first separation from her husband, and her first child,
who will be born while he is away. I thanked God because that is a sadness i
have never known, i was lucky. And i am lucky still, for this is my last
separation from my love. And knowing that will help me through it this one last
When i got home i looked at my children so innocent of all this so far. I
hugged them to me because i know in a month they will begin to realize what we
meant when we tried to tell them that daddy will be gone on a long journey.
They will begin to ask questions, and when they get tired of me, they will cry
for their dad and i will hug them then, and i will cry with them. We will miss
him together and we will be here together when he comes back to us.
As i sit here now i wonder if he hears me. Can he hear my heart talking to
him... telling him how much i love him, how much i already miss his face, his
touch. i hope he will be safe and i will pray (yes.. i WILL pray) that he will
be safe out there, wherever he is. I love you honey. Thnx to all my friends who
have been calling and checking up on me, i really appreciate that. And thanx in
advance to all my friends who will be hearing from me more than they want to
over the next six months. *S*

Ladies and germs, I give you Dan Shaughnessy, from his aforementioned Globe column:
It looks like those sun-deprived stat geeks eating pudding in their basement (the same nitwits who insist that homers and RBIs are overrated) outsmarted themselves in assessing this unit.
What the joke lacks in verisimilitude (no stat geek has ever insisted that homers are overrated) and originality ("sun-deprived," "in their basement") it more than makes up for in comic specificity ("pudding"). This one's worth 1.3 LOLs Above Replacement Joke.

Tooling Article
Pressure Sensors
|To keep a stamping die properly lubricated, a pressure sensor can be used to monitor tank pressure and ensure that the proper amount of lubricant is dispensed. The lubricant in the tank or line exerts a force against the sensor's measuring element, whose signals are converted into an electrical signal output for interpretation by the press-cell controller.
Not Too Much, Not Too Little
Stampers rely on lubricant to help ensure the production of high-quality parts, and to protect and extend the life of the press and tooling. The effectiveness of the lubricant relies on ensuring the delivery of the proper amount of lubricant consistently, hit after hit.
Lubricant—typically stored in a tank next to the press line, and piped out through a nozzle—is applied either by spraying onto the sheetmetal or by misting directly onto the die; a valve controls the amount of lubricant delivered. To optimize results, stampers should consider monitoring and controlling the amount of lubricant applied with each press stroke—too much can lead to slug pulling, while too little will allow the detrimental effects of friction and heat to appear, such as tool galling, which interferes with the subsequent flow of lubricant from the nozzle.
Ultimately, the amount of lubricant dispensed requires ensuring the proper pressure in the tank, and for this task, a pressure sensor plumbed into the line can prove to be a valuable asset.
Static and Dynamic Pressure
Pressure sensors can be used to confirm two different pressure levels during the cycling of the lubricant system: static pressure and dynamic pressure. The sensors will provide valuable information to the press controller or to a press-line PLC that can then be used to either adjust lubrication-delivery parameters in-process, or shut down the press before die damage occurs.
Static pressure, which builds when the lubricant tank valve is in the closed position, typically depends on the amount of lubricant to be applied, as well as the lubricant's viscosity. A sensor measures dynamic pressure when a change in the process occurs—when the valve opens. Here, the sensor tells the controller that the tank is correctly pressurized.
Dynamic pressure depends on the open position of the valve nozzle and the length of time the valve remains open when the lubricant is released—referred to as pressure drop. Here, the sensor tells the controller that the valve has opened a certain amount, allowing a predetermined amount of lubricant pressure drop to occur.
Each pressure sensor is plumbed into the pressurized tank or line. The lubricant exerts a force against the sensor's measuring element—typically of stainless steel or ceramic. Ceramic proves to be very stable and consistent over time. If overpressure does occur, causing the sensor to reach its burst pressure, a ceramic sensor will simply fail rather than provide erroneous readings. This design ensures the integrity of the sensor's results. Steel measuring elements, which typically have higher burst ratings than do ceramic elements, are more prone to zero and span offsets, which can lead to erroneous readings.
The measuring cell connects to the sensor's internal electronics, which convert the measured pressure into an electrical signal output. The press control system, interpreting the output, can either convey the error state on an external display for the operator to see, or it can halt operations if an error occurs and prevent further rejects and equipment damage while allowing operators to quickly identify and address the problem.
Along with increased efficiency and extended die life, stampers can rely on sensors to monitor static and dynamic lubricant pressure to overcome several common setup errors. For example, pressure sensors can identify if a valve is not opening for the correct duration (or if it's opening at all); if the wrong lubricant or lubricant mixture is being used; or if the amount of lubricant being applied is inadequate for the application.
Sensor Selection
Users can select pressure sensors that use either a dual switching output that provides simple on/off information, or an analog output for scalable results based on the continuous flow of information. Dual-setpoint sensors use one setpoint to monitor static pressure and the other to monitor dynamic pressure. Since analog sensors provide continuous output, one signal monitors both static and dynamic pressure.
For stamping-die applications, which locate the pressure sensor near the lubricant, metalformers typically specify a pressure sensor rated to IP67 to defend against lubricant ingress. An IP (ingress protection) number specifies the environmental protection capability of enclosures surrounding electronic equipment. The first number, "6," identifies the enclosure as offering total protection from dust particles of any size; the second number, "7," identifies the enclosure as protecting against the effect of immersion to a depth between 15 cm and 1 m.

The British Fashion Council (BFC) today announces Laura Bailey's appointment to the newly created role of Cultural Ambassador for the BFC. Laura is the first of a number of young/cultural ambassadors that will be unveiled prior to London Fashion Week in September. The role of these ambassadors will be to support the British Fashion Council as it promotes British fashion design talent to a global market.
As an ambassador Laura will attend key events as part of the BFC's annual calendar including London Fashion Week, the British Fashion Awards and LONDON show ROOMS. Behind the scenes Laura will receive regular briefings from the BFC on forthcoming activities, business support schemes and showcasing opportunities. She will also be meeting with designers, in their studios, to hear first-hand the challenges faced by young designers when they are setting up their businesses. This unique insight will allow Laura to promote and become a spokesperson for these designers and brands when she is working with stylists, asked to provide comment or write features about the British fashion industry.
Laura Bailey commented, "I'm proud of my new ambassadorship with the BFC and I am thrilled to be to working with and promoting young British talent. I think it's a really exciting time for British fashion - via the shows, in the shops and on the streets. I'm also keen to work with the BFC on their collaboration with the film and art world. Roll on September for London Fashion Week!"
Caroline Rush, CEO of the British Fashion Council, said "As a model, writer and fashion icon Laura has an in-depth knowledge of the British fashion and film industry that we hope will provide our designers with increased media exposure and strong links with the other creative industries. The most exciting thing about these newly created ambassadorial roles is that they will grow organically into a unique role that best utilises each ambassador's expertise, contacts and interests."

Apply to a graduate program at UW Oshkosh
Admission information for new graduate students
The first step to admission into a UW Oshkosh graduate program is completing the online application. Depending on the program you wish to pursue, you may need to provide additional information and materials or complete additional forms.
Also, learn more from one of our recent graduates.
Admission information for international graduate students
Because of immigration and travelling requirements, the process to apply for admission as an international student begins sooner, takes more time and involves more processing than for U.S. citizens and international applicants already living in the U.S. For these reasons international applicants should submit their applications by March 1 for fall semester admission or by Sept. 1 for spring semester admission. Applications submitted after these deadlines will be considered on a space-available basis. Graduate assistantships, nonresident partial graduate tuition waivers, and classes might not be available or very limited. Generally, there is no summer admission for international applicants.
Admission information for re-entering or returning graduate students
The maximum period allowed without enrolling in graduate classes at UW Oshkosh is 24 months (6 semesters including summer). Students are eligible to resume classes within the 24-month period by simply registering and successfully completing program courses, based upon current program registration requirements.
Students who exceed the 24-month period without taking a course at UW Oshkosh must first get the approval of the program coordinator to resume classes (NOTE: A student's electronic record becomes inactive after 24 months). After program approval, the Office of Graduate Studies must also approve a student to resume taking classes. There may be additional time or program conditions to be met upon resuming classes after an extended break.

RICHMOND Va. – Senior guard Andrea Barbour poured in a game-high 23 points while classmate Courtney Hurt added 21, and the senior duo keyed VCU to a hard-fought 65-53 victory against UNC Wilmington Sunday afternoon at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
UNCW (8-6, 1-2 CAA) erased an 11-point second-half deficit and tied the score at 49-49 with 7:59 to go, but the Rams never relinquished the lead as Barbour and Hurt combined to score 14 points during a critical 16-4 run to close game.
VCU (9-5, 2-1 CAA) snapped its season-long two-game losing skid, while picking up its fourth straight home victory. The Rams have won 11 of the last 16 games against UNCW, including three in a row at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
"This was a really good win for us, especially coming off a tough loss on the road at James Madison [on Thursday]," said VCU Head Coach Beth Cunningham. "I thought our kids responded with a great defensive effort today. I'm proud of the way our team pulled out a big win here at home."
Hurt (pictured, left), who tied VCU's all-time free throw record with a perfect 5-of-5 outing at the line, also grabbed 15 rebounds for the fourth straight game. Barbour added two assists and a game-high five steals, while freshman Aprill McRae (pictured, below) chipped in seven points, six rebounds, two blocks and a pair of steals off the bench.
VCU, which held a commanding 46-30 advantage on the glass, has outrebounded nine of its last 10 opponents. It was also the seventh time this year that the Rams have forced 20 turnovers on the defensive end.
"Our focus coming into today was really defending and rebounding," Cunningham said. "We had to do a great job on the glass and if you look at the final stats, we ended up winning by 16 on the boards. I thought we had a great defensive effort."
The Rams jumped out to a quick 9-2 advantage less than five minutes into the contest before UNCW scored 13 of the next 17 points and took its first lead at 15-13 on a jumper by Abria Trice with 10:13 showing.
Barbour put the Rams back in front on a layup with 7:51 left but the Seahawks scored on their next two possessions and held their largest lead of the game at 20-17.
Trailing by three at the seven-minute mark, the Rams settled in and closed the opening stanza on a 15-4 run and took a 32-24 advantage into the locker room. Barbour fueled the spurt, scoring 10 of her 14 first-half points.
VCU didn't let up coming out of the break and pushed its lead to 37-26 on 3-point play from Hurt with 18:01 left. However, the Seahawks began to chip away and eventually erased the 11-point deficit during a nine-minute stretch, and a traditional 3-point play from Karneshia Garrett knotted the score at 49-49 with 7:59 to go.
UNCW would never take the lead, though, as Barbour collected a steal and converted a fast break layup on the ensuing possession to put the Rams back in front for good. VCU then locked down on defense, holding UNCW to just one field goal the rest of the game.
"We struggled there during the middle of the half guarding the basketball, and they started to do a good job attacking the basket," Cunningham said. "Andrea came up with two big stops on defense and that was really the turning point that allowed us to get over the hump. We did a good job defensively and we had some kids step up and make some shots."
Tawanna Lee paced three UNCW players in double figure scoring with 14 points. Garrett added 13 to go along with seven rebounds and Alisha Andrews finished with 10.
VCU returns to the Verizon Wireless Arena on Jan. 11 against league rival Old Dominion at 7 p.m. The game will be televised on ESPN3. The Rams then hit the road for three straight beginning at William & Mary on Jan. 15.

Chris Wheeler, Geoff Jenkins, and Tom McCarthy
last year from the broadcast booth
I always liked the way the Phillies broadcasts sound over the air over the years that I've been watching baseball. My personal viewing goes back into the 1970's when I was a kid, I will always remember the voices of Harry Kalas, Richie Ashburn, Andy Musser, and of course Chris Wheeler.
Chris Wheeler has been with the Phillies over 40 years nowWheeler is still on the broadcasts, he's the only one left still doing the broadcasts from the days when the Phillies had some great years in the 1970's as well. Chris understands baseball like the back of his hand, he recently authored a book on his experience and you can find it here. It tells you all about Wheeler's 40 years of being with the Phillies organization. We even talked with him on the 'Phillies Talk' Podcast about his times with the Phillies and the book, the show is overall one of my favorite podcasts that we've done so far, find the show with Chris here.
Q and A with Chris Wheeler from March 30, 2011Here's a couple of questions that Chris answered for FightinPhillies blog yesterday about the 2011 season with the Phillies.
The Phillies team of 2011 is loaded with pitching aces, is this the best rotation the Phils have ever seen?
Chris Wheeler:
This is by far the best starting pitching the Phillies have had. When you consider Joe Blanton is the #5 guy, it's set up pretty well to keep a team in the game. I can't think of a close second to match this depth and talent level. Hopefully they will remain healthy and productive.
The Phillies did not have an encouraging Spring Training with all of the injuries, can you think of a Spring that was worse for the Phils?
Chris Wheeler:
I can't think of a spring training where there more serious injuries. I imagine the team has come out of Florida with question marks involving injuries other years. However to lose the best second baseman in the sport, a closer like Lidge, and a prospect like Dominic Brown is a boat load. And a real challenge to pick up the pieces and move on and have another championship season.
Getting to a World Series is one thing, winning it is another. What makes a team great enough in baseball to reach the World Series?
Chris Wheeler:
I think making the post season in baseball is the toughest of the four major sports. The reason is pretty simple. A lot more teams make post season in the other sports because there are more opportunities. In baseball, you must win your division or capture the one wild card available in each league. I think Charlie Manuel is right when he says the team, that plays the best baseball over the course of a long season keeps on playing. Hopefully that will be the Phillies again.
I want to thank Chris for taking some time out of his busy schedule to answer a couple of questions here on the blog. Hope you the readers, like it as well. The Phillies season is starting up in just one more day, they should get the game in, but it will be interesting with the weather forecast being so close to us having snow. Not all together great weather to start off the season.

Can't speak for FL - but picked my car up at the factory on 12/23 and received the title on 1/5/13. So just at two weeks. Now I can complete my PenFed loan after the fact.
Alex, could Tesla be waiting for something from you, a drivers license or insurance card?
Received my vehicle in Florida on 11/26/2012 and still have no title from DMV Florida.
I inquired with Tesla on 1/3/2013 and received this answer the same day:
"The title document itself will be coming from the DMV.
I am having our Administration Team reach out to the Florida DMV directly to sort this out.
I will update you, if there is any information I get.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope it is getting close.. "
Today is 1/6/2013 and there is neither a title nor any furthers news.
I am in similar situation. I took delivery on 11/16 and have not received a title yet. I emailed firstname.lastname@example.com to ask about it, and received the following response:
"We submitted your information to the DMV and are now waiting on them to process the paperwork. We will be calling the DMV on Monday to follow up on this."
Does the title come with the plates or separately in California? Anyone know?
I took delivery on December 10 in PA, and registered it in PA on the 21st. Received my title 10 days later.
Title in CA comes separately from the plates.
I figured, thanks jjaeger!!
California - Took delivery December 23. Title arrived January 4. Plates should arrive by FEDEX from Tesla this week. Don't know why CA insists on sending the plates and registration to "the dealer". Same thing with a Leaf we purchased in October. Title had my plate number so was able to send in the HOV decal application in advance of receiving the plates.
I think it took about a month to get the title for my LEAF in Georgia.
That's 3 weeks. Exactly.
In CA took factory delivery 12/22 and received title from DMV 1/5, so 2 weeks for me as well. I think it depends a lot on DMV. I wouldn't worry if every Tesla customer in FL is also waiting a long time.
@alexeybekin - I had my license plates in Georgia long before I had the title.
(the above was talking about for my LEAF)
Delivery in November, still no title. Guess I should follow up on this!
I took delivery on 11/16, and just received my permanent plates in the mail last week. Maybe my title will be forthcoming now that the plates have been delivered.
In CA, got mine in about 3 weeks after delivery.
In CA: It's been 3 weeks, and I still haven't received Title, although I have received my plates and registration. The CA DMV says it may take up to 6 weeks.
I am in the Bay Area and received the car on Dec. 29. The title arrives on Jan. 10. It took 12 days for DMV delivered the title. However, I have not received my plates and registration.
In CT. Took delivery Dec 30th. I am transferring my plates but I was told to not put them on my Model S until the registration arrives (which still has not happened). I have not been pulled over yet so not too worried up to this point.

Dwyane Wade needs surgery on his left knee and will miss the London Olympics.
The Miami Heat guard called USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and coach Mike Krzyzewski on Thursday and let them know that he is not healthy enough to participate in the Olympics. Wade was playing through pain for much of the postseason, yet still averaged 22.6 points during Miami's five-game win over Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals.
Complete 2012 Olympics coverage
U.S. & World
"I've decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee," Wade told The Associated Press on Thursday. "USA Basketball said I had to what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level. They were very supportive and told me if I ever want to come around the team, I'm welcome and that I'm part of the family."
Wade was the leading scorer on the team that won Olympic gold in Beijing four years ago. He also played for the U.S. on the squad that won bronze at Athens in 2004.
Phelps Turns Tables on Lochte, Wins 200m Freestyle at Trials
His status for the Olympics had been in question for months. In May, he said that even though his Olympic teammates had been prodding him ("Kobe [Bryant] was like, 'if my old self is playing, you can,'" he said), his balky knee might need attention over the offseason.
"This is about being healthy," he said then, "going into the summer healthy -- and taking it from there." On Friday, after the Heat had clinched its NBA title, Wade said, "I think some kind of cleanup process might have to go on."
That is how he described the procedure on Thursday. Barring any complications, he will only need crutches for a day or so after the surgery. Wade says he expects to be ready to play again by the time the Heat open training camp in the fall.
Heat fans may be disappointed that they will not see all members of the team's Big Three try to defend Team USA's gold medal this summer, but after watching Wade struggle for extended stretches during the playoffs, they will be happy in the long run. Wade seemed to have lost some of his explosiveness during the playoffs, making it more difficult for him to drive to the hoop and create uncontested shot attempts.
Wade's per-game scoring and rebounding averages dropped off significantly in 2011/12, and his knee troubles undoubtedly were at least partly to blame. After scoring 25.5 points with 6.4 rebounds per game the previous year, he tallied 22.1 points and 4.6 rebounds per game last season.
Wade could have put off surgery until after the Olympics, but that would have jeopardized his chances at returning to action in time for the start of the 2012/13 season. In the week since the NBA Finals concluded, Wade has discussed working with a shooting coach to extend his range. That plan will likely be put on hold while he rehabilitates.
"I'm happy that I can focus on my body a little bit," Wade said. "I'm not happy to get surgery, but I'm happy that I can focus on getting better."

I use Visual Studio for my C# development while using Cygwin for some of the tasks that require scripting. Recently I wanted to change all occurrences of string
AAA to
BBB in my project's files. I started with old trusty
sed but, to my dismay, it changed DOS new line sequences to Unix ones.
Here's what I used:
sed -i 's/AAA/BBB/g' $(grep -rl AAA /cygdrive/c/project_path)
It seems there is no
sed switch that would do what I want. Is there some other Unix tool that could help me?
EDIT: In between C# files there are some other scripts that have Unix new line characters. It would be best if this tool didn't change them to DOS ones. :)

Just a question to get the right expectations. How official is the support forum? Is it just a community forum where you post, cross your fingers and hope to get an answer. Or is it really the formal support forum and can posts be compared to support tickets?
Just asking as I have posted about 2 issues I have in the classic forum and it has been quiet for more than a week and I would really love to get everything working.

citrus frenzy still going on
I have been in the mood for tartelettes au citiron, or small lemon tarts for a while, like these. While I am still going to try the same whole-lemon tart recipe using a Meyer lemon, I did a bit different one recently, using a lemon and one of the last-crop-of-the-season yuzu.
This time I used another tempting recipe I found in book My French Kitchen: A Book of 120 Treasured Recipes by Joanne Harris & Fran Warde (2003, William Morrow). I really was going to make tart dough on my own, I swear, but I ended up using store-bought tartelette shells this time, because I don't own a tartelette pan or anything substitutable.
When you are making lemon tarts and not making tart shells, the easy recipe gets even easier; all I did was zesting and juicing lemon and yuzu, beating an egg with sugar, cream, and butter, and mixing together and filling the cup. The rest was up to the oven.
It seemed as if it would be impossible for these to fail, but they eventually did. Those cheap tart shells couldn't quite hold the runny citrus filling and cracked up as they cooked, in particular lemon tartelettes which had more juice than yuzu ones (yuzu typically don't have as much juice as other citrus including lemon and orange).
Even so, they tasted fine, quite lemon-y and yuzu-y, respectively (the one with paler-looking filling is lemon tart, while the more orang-y one is yuzu), although I found the filling slightly eggy; they might have been a bit underbaked, or I don't know. I don't think I did justice to the recipe though, I should come back and try this by making proper tart shells and paying more careful attention while baking.
Okay, another next-timer here... while good winter citrus supplies last (oh I have so many other things I want to make using citrus fruits!).

Hello. thank you for celebrating citrus! For those of who do not live in Japan might you be interested in showing a photo of a yuzu oneday? I posted about a new citrus, the mandarinquat, and also the Tavaris lime. maybe next year we will be making yuzu and mandarinquat tarts! :}
thank you for a delicious site.

Hi Chika,
These look good. It's a shame that they didn't turn out so good. I've always wanted to try yuzu, but I haven't been able to find it here. Maybe they'll be available at Shirokiya sometime....I'll have to keep checking. Meyer lemon tarts sound wonderful right about now.

hello chika! they look beautiful, nonetheless. we get yuzu every once in awhile, i'll remember this for the next time!

So, did you know using store-bought tartlet shells are a crime? You are forgiven this time you will have to make your next batch from scratch, even though you have to use your muffin tin :-) Anyway, these look very pretty. I would also be curious to see a picture of these yuzu lemons, hopefully you will be able to share with us... If you are interested, Thomas Keller's recipe for tarte au citron is available on Epicurious' website until June, here it is...

Yuzu are great, especially in drinks and I've recipe for them somewhere where they're hollowed out and then stuffed with scallops and dengaku miso and cooked. I've never been able to find an English name for them though, do they have one?

Hi there,
shuna - that mandarinquat looked really interesting, I have never seen them around. Actually I took a few photos of yuzu to include in this post, but eventually didn't - I am planning to do another yuzu baking soon, and I'll put the pic when I blog about it. So check back!
Reid - It's too bad yuzu are really hard-to-find outside Japan, they're such a lovely thing! I want to make meyer lemon tart, too, but again, they are hard to find over here.
santos - I was astonished to learn yuzu are available in Guam - or anywhere out of Japan. That's great! (BTW, you've got yuzu juice and marmalade, did you know that?)
Estelle - I know I know I know,,, I reall wanted to make proper tart shells for this. I don't even have a muffin tin either, I am going to order a tartelette pan asap.
Thanks for the link to the Thomas Keller recipe! I think I saw it in the book (at a bookstore)... it seems great, even if I normally prefer ones with baked filling :)
anthony - oo I guess I've had something similar. They've got such a lovely aroma, I could put their juice on almost anything :P
I wouldn't think there is an english name for yuzu though - I didn't think they'd be available anywhere but Japan, so it really surprised me that they sell yuzu in Guam

I'm surprised that you're surprised that '' yuzu are available in Guam - or anywhere out of Japan.'' Nowadays, the Engish and French name for yuzu is YUZU, hee, hee (or Japanese "citron" , Citrus medica).
Gee, I even found yuzu in the Websters dictionary: "the Yuzu is doubtless another ichandarin resulting from a cross pollination with some variety of mandarin orange and the Ichang papeda."
Yuzu sorbet has been hyper-mega-trendy in French nouvelle cuisine for sometime now. I have even eaten Yuzu sorbet in a charming bed-&-breakfast in Taos New Mexico I'd know you should loooove.

This small and compact optical mouse has a twist in its tail, as the USB lead is retractable and hides away in the base of the unit when not needed.
The quality isn't fantastic, as the plastic feels a bit cheap; but as the pink colour suggests, it's for children to use and it'll withstand less-than-careful hands.
Discreet and tidy
Simply plug it into your laptop and it will be identified. We found the sensor accurate enough for daily use, but it isn't ideal for anything too taxing, such as art packges or games.
The Trust isn't the most professional of mice, but the colour and price easily prove that.
However, for daily use it's more than competent and packs away to a small and light size.

I'm not really a fan of nested loops, so when I need to create a list of combinations based on two or three other lists, I really miss list comprehensions1 such as those in Python.
l = [(x,y) for x in range(5) for y in range(5)]
Very elegant.
If I was using Lisp, I might use a nested mapcar.
(mapcar (lambda (out) (mapcar (lambda (in) (cons in out)) '(a b c d e))) '(1 2 3 4 5))
Perl map uses
$_ so you don't need to explicitly specify the name of the lambda parameter. How can I differentiate between the outer $_ and the inner $_?
my $outer; my @x = map { $outer = $_; (map { $outer . $_ } qw(a b c d e)) } (1..5);
Note: if you are trying to do something as simple as this, take a look at Set::CrossProduct instead.

What you need to know before you go
Scotland is in the rugged north of Britain, famed for its dramatic scenery of misty mountains, vast glens, and ornate gothic architecture. The capital city, Edinburgh, is particularly beautiful with a cityscape so stylish it looks like a movie set. Head up the ancient Royal Mile and feel a part of Scotland's long history. For adventure seekers, Scotland is an epic playground. The Cairngorms mountain range offers climbing, hiking and even skiing, while the 790 islands around the coast are rich with wildlife and secluded beaches. If you're a golf fan, head to the pretty town of St. Andrew's to play a round on the world's first course.
Scots are a typically a loud and sociable bunch, with a Celtic culture all their own. When visiting Scotland, you should embrace the unique elements that makes it so interesting and fun: the sound of bagpipes, the taste of haggis, and as much whisky as your temperament will allow.

We're lucky to live in New Zealand with it's year around world-class fly fishing, and I take full advantage of it. But it can often be along hike to get to the best water and one day, while untangling my net from a bush for the 100th time, I came up with a better way to carry that all important part of a fly fishing kit.
For years I'd do what one of my professional guide friends did and stuck the net handle in my wading belt behind my back. We've worn many a hole in the back of our waders that way and it's a unwelcome surprise when freezing cold water suddenly runs down your backside, usually in the middle of winter.
A few dozen prototypes and many fishing / field-testing days later (yes, someone had to do it), I'm thrilled with the Net Holster. It works great, and it sure beats trying to clip a net behind your back. My guide friend is still using the prototype I gave him to test a couple of years back.

I'm new to arcmap, so I'm not entirely sure about terminology which is probably why I can't seem to find the answer to this seemingly trivial question.
In the attribute table I want to be able to create a new field which takes the value from another field and adds the value from the previous row to it. My idea was simply to make a some kind of a
for loop but to do that it seems I need to be able to specify a row number of a field, and I don't know how to do that.
Any help would be appreciated, ranging from a better solution to the answer to this specific question :).

Twenty-three of the thirty-eight hips that had been subluxated or dislocated became stable in the reduced position after the transfer operation. Every hip that had been stable before the transfer remained stable, and thirty-seven patients who had been brace-dependent became brace-free.
We concluded that transfers of the iliopsoas or external oblique muscles are useful adjuncts in the treatment of paralytic disorders of the hips. Intravascular injections of India ink in the femora of adult dogs revealed the existence of two distinct vascular systems in the cortex.
One courses through the entire thickness of the cortex and is a regular, longitudinal network of uniform capillaries which is in continuity with the periosteal and endosteal networks. That system, primarily transverse, anastomoses in the haversian canals with the capillaries of the first system. Therefore, the merging of the two networks occurs primarily in the middle layer of the cortex.
The direction of the arterial blood flow in the mature animal is predominantly centrifugal, while the venous drainage is centripetal. In the immature animal, the contribution of the periosteal network is much greater.
Because the two cortical systems are profusely anastomosed with each other and with the periosteal and endosteal circulatory networks, the blood can flow in either direction, depending on physiological conditions.
A study of 221 claw fingers of fifty-one leprosy patients with ulnar or combined ulnar and median-nerve paralysis showed that the severity of the deformity was determined mostly by the completeness of paralysis of intrinsci muscles, and to a lesser extent by the duration of paralysis. There was no predilection for severe deformity in any one finger.
Recurrent dislocation of the extensor tendon from the knuckle of the metacarpophalangeal joint was observed mostly in fingers that were completely deprived of all intrinsic muscles. Flexing the wrist facilitated opening of the claw finger, but the effect was more evident at the metacarphophalangeal joint than at the proximal interphalangeal joint.
Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited muscular disorder and a cause of sudden death in afflicted patients. Stress arising from tramuma, surgery, and other causes can initiate the syndrome.
We studied the types of orthopaedic problems commonly seen in patients with this condition as well as the clinical manifestations and pathophysiology of the syndrome. Recognition, management, and understanding of the pathophysiology of malignant hyperthermia can be aided by a study of its similarities to porcine stress syndrome. This triangle is an electric polarizing system, which directs the electronic orbitals of the phosphates in two diverging directions, starting from the calcium ion and going to the two sodium ions. The above-mentioned polarization helps, at the opportune moment, the breaking of the high-energy bond and the delivery of two waves of electronic excitation.
In the stage which precedes the recovery of the high-energy bond, one magnesium ion takes the position of the calcium ion, and two potassium ions replace the two sodium ions. These ions form a polarizing system, which directs the electronic orbitals of the ADP and phosphoric acid molecule in two converging directions, starting from the two potassium ions and arriving at the magnesium ion.
This polarization favours the building of the high-energy bond, when two waves of electronic excitation arising from a donor molecule arrive at the level of the two phosphates which must be united. A survey of developments in the social security systems of more than 125 countries from 1971 to 1975 found that most programs are undergoing significant growth.

SYRACUSE It is estimated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that autism has risen to one in every 88 births in the United States.
In order to raise awareness about the programs and services available to families affected by autism, the New York State Senate has commemorated April 2013 as Autism Awareness Month.
I have long been a committed advocate for individuals and families living with autism. I successfully fought for the New York Autism Health Insurance Reform Law that now requires state-regulated health insurance policies to provide coverage for the screening, diagnosis and treatment of patients on the autism spectrum. This landmark law, which took effect last year, is one of the strongest autism insurance reforms in the Nation. It has opened the door for thousands of families to receive early intervention services, which are key to improving the treatment of autism. Some of these important services include behavioral health treatments, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.
Furthermore, the law prohibits an insurance company from terminating coverage or refusing to issue, adjust, renew or execute a policy solely because a person has been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.
As your state senator, I will continue my fight to support individuals and families living with autism. Please feel free to call my district office at 428-7632 for more information on the law.

Construction is underway at Tok River State Recreation Site. The campground will remain open with minimal disruptions.
Tok is the gateway to Alaska. This small town (pop. 1000) is located only 92 miles from the Canada-US border on the ALCAN Highway. Tok is situated in the upper Tanana River Valley, near the foot hills at the end of the Alaska Range. To the north and east of Tok, the famous "40 Mile Country" stretches up to the Yukon River. This land contains historic gold mines, wildlife, woodlands, wide interior Alaskan rivers, and modern day Alaskan pioneers and prospectors. South of Tok, the traveler enters the Copper River Valley, which eventually terminates at Prince William Sound. Westbound travelers can continue on to Fairbanks. The Tok area gives visitors entering Alaska by way of the Alaska Highway their first opportunity to explore the Alaska Range. Summers are very short here in Interior Alaska, but they are warm and dry with long daylight hours.
Eagle Trail State Recreation Site is 16 miles south of Tok at mile 109.5 of the Tok Cut-Off Highway. It is frequented by campers traveling between Tok and Glennallen. This campground has 35 campsites, five of which will accommodate most motorhomes. Also provided are a picnic shelter, drinking water and latrines. Historical features of the campground include the Valdez-Eagle Trail, the Old Slana Highway, and the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telephone System (WAMCATS). Visitors to this 280 acre site can enjoy a walk on the one mile nature trail or the 2.5 mile hiking trail with an overview of the Tok River Valley. Eagle Trail SRS offers most highway travelers their first opportunity to explore the Alaska Range. An eight hour hike up the bordering creek brings backpackers within close viewing distance of Dall sheep in the Tok Trophy Sheep Management Area.
Moon Lake State Recreation Site is near mile 1332 of the Alaska Highway. Located 15 miles northwest of Tok, Moon Lake is a popular getaway destination for local residents. Facilities include 15 campsites, a boat launch, picnic area, a sandy beach area, drinking water and latrines. Moon Lake offers a variety of water recreation opportunities including swimming, boating, and water skiing. Local float planes flown by Alaskan bush pilots, and landing on Moon Lake, bring an Alaskan flair to this campground.
Tok River State Recreation Site is popular with highway travelers just entering Alaska from Canada. The site is 4.5 miles east of Tok at mile 1309 of the Alaska Highway. There are 43 campsites, ten of which will accommodate motorhomes up to 60 feet in length. Facilities include a picnic shelter, drinking water, a walking trail, telephone, and latrines. A group campfire area is provided on the sandy beach of the Tok River. Situated on the east bank of the Tok River, this park provides river boating and float trip opportunities to visitors. Across the river from the campground is the burned area of the 1990 Tok River Fire.

Or Dwarves, Elves, Space goats, Trolls, Taurens etc…
Generally I don't mind the lack or shortage of mob models in the game, but I must admit I mind this.
So I get Zombified, cool, I am all for a bit of bone munching and infecting.
But why do I have to be a "human" Zombie (ok, so TV will do that to some humans).
Why can't I be a Gnome Zombie. 2.5 feet of putrefying flesh bearing do on you may seem to be a joke until you realize you have an infected kneecap.
Gnomer and Out!

Little did we know that those two would turn out to be the most boring candidates in the race!
All six of the gubernatorial candidates (yes, all six!) turned out for a debate Monday night because New York State politics is nothing if not inclusive. And it turns out that Paladino and Cuomo ended up being the most unexciting men on the stage. In fact, the two most recognizable names on the ballot, one of which will likely be the next governor of New York State, only got a combined 12 minutes of face time during the hour-long affair.
Both the Libertarian and Green parties were represented, the former by Warren Redlich and the latter by Howie Hawkins, who speaks in a baritone voice with a slight drawl and sounds more like a Baptist preacher from Amarillo than a Northeast politician.
And then there was Charles Barron, the outspoken City Council member from Brooklyn who, as he is known to do, talked tough, especially with Cuomo, who is the clear frontrunner in the race.
But by far the most entertaining candidates were Kristin Davis of the Anti-Prohibition Party and Jimmy McMillan from the Rent is 2 Damn High Party.
Davis is the former madam of an escort service, which she made no effort to hide. In fact, when asked about the MTA and service cuts, she said she was more than qualified to handle the challenge because as a madam, she managed girls who knew how to "deliver on-time" services.
In case you didn't figure it out already, McMillan is pretty much a one-issue candidate concerned that, you guessed it, the rent is too damn high. (It's also apparently too damn hot, as well, because he wore gloves the entire night.) Avid watchers of the New York political scene might recognize McMillan – he ran for mayor in 2005.
McMillan wasn't too specific about how he would lower rents, but apparently lowering rents will lead to curing the rest of society's ills. When pressed about other issues facing the state, McMillan was quick with an entertaining quip.
On gay marriage, McMillan said he didn't really care if you wanted to "marry a shoe." On the huge budget deficit facing the state, McMillan showed not only his lack of financial acumen, but a lack of medical understanding as well when he replied, "it's like a cancer, it will heal itself."
But while McMillan lacks political experience, he brings a wealth of other skills to the table, like Karate, which he said would be one of his greatest strengths up in Albany. He's also an amateur musician, and he posted a song on his website chastising the state for taking the word "damn" out of his party line on the ballot.
And about the gloves? McMillan says he wears them because he was exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam
"It could be psychological, I don't know, but I just put 'em on and wear them anyway," he said.
Good enough for us. McMillan just won Pol Position's vote.

Dir: Claudio Giovannesi. Italy. 2012. 99mins
Easily the most rewarding of the three Italian films to play in competition at this year's Rome film festival, Claudio Giovannesi's fresh, pugnacious first dramatic feature with its impressive non-professional cast puts his documentary training to good use. Sticking close to its always watchable protagonist Nader, a sixteen-year-old Italian kid of Egyptian origins, Ali Has Blue Eyes (Alì ha gli occhi azzurri) builds a small but engrossing story around the problems of a second-generation immigrant teenager, caught between peer pressure to fit in to the Italian youth culture paradigm and his family's insistence that he should respect his cultural and religious roots.
Set in winter, and bathed in a cold sunlight that offers little space for fantasy, Ali Has Blue Eyes nevertheless draws on fable and archetype in its portrait of a young man suspended between two conflicting states.
It's not exactly virgin territory, and the story of Naser's week-long rebellion against his family's diktat makes little attempt to bring in those powerful, sometimes melodramatic plot cruxes that a theatrically-minded social realist like Ken Loach employs to keep us interested. But it's precisely in the observational authenticity of the film, its refusal to shout, that much of the pleasure of Giovannesi's fictional debut resides. With its scrappy Roman seaside suburb setting and sensitive available-light photography, the film is likely to reach out to Italian cineastes more than general audiences, but school screenings – a significant niche in Italy – could boost its numbers. Abroad, Ali looks like a sure-fire festival tourer.
The film's title derives from a poem by Pier Paolo Pasolini, who was murdered by a rent boy not far from Ostia, the seaside dormitory suburb of Rome where most of the film is set. Nader is the poem's Ali, and the film's central character. He's played by Nader Sarhan, one of three immigrant kids whose lives Giovannesi charted in his 2009 documentary Fratelli d'Italia. Only those who have read the press notes will know that Nader plays a version of himself, that Brigitte (Brigitte Apruzzesi), his girlfriend in the film, is also his girlfriend in real life, and that both teenagers' film parents are also their real parents. But we don't need this information to appreciate the film's solid grounding in real people, real places and real lives.
The action spans a week, its days announced by on-screen captions. We first see Nader with his best friend Stefano on a Saturday, doing an early-morning hold-up of a grocery store on the way to school – just as later in the week they will head for the beach to hang out after Nader has stabbed a rival in a dance club. It's the ordinariness of delinquency that this unjdgemental film brings out, the way it becomes part of the fabric of life for these street-smart kids.
In Nader's case, the gangsta pose is also part of his rebellion against the pressures of family and faith. A row with his family over his Italian girlfriend Brigitte (he's too young, they say, and she's not a good Arab girl) provides the film with its main dramatic arc, as the stubborn teenager decides to take seriously his mother's melodramatic suggestion that he should leave home. But like many kids with a foot in two cultures, Nader is conflicted: he defiantly replies in Roman dialect to his family's Arabic imprecations, and wears blue contact lenses, presumably to 'Italianise' his appearance. But when Stefano shows an interest in Nader's sister Laura, he becomes the jealous Arab brother with a hypocritical double standard for men and women.
Set in winter, and bathed in a cold sunlight that offers little space for fantasy, Ali Has Blue Eyes nevertheless draws on fable and archetype in its portrait of a young man suspended between two conflicting states – Arab and Italian, childhood and adulthood, right and wrong. It's a measure of the sensitivity and wide-eyed realism of the script that it offers no easy way out of the existential waiting room Nader occupies, without entirely closing the door on hope.
