Jeph Jacques Brings QUESTIONABLE CONTENT to Webcomics
This week, when you think webcomics, think Newsarama! It's the return of Wide World of Webcomics, our continuing look at the best veteran – and new – comics on the web, and this is our biggest run yet.
We're going to be talking to a wide variety of creators this go-around. Here's who we've got lined up so far:
John Allison (Bad Machinery)
Dustin Harbin (Dharbin)
Anthony Clark (Nedroid)
R Stevens (Diesel Sweeties)
James Anderson (Ellie on Planet X)
Dorothy Gambrell (Cat and Girl)
And a special two-part interview with Kate Beaton (Hark! A Vagrant)
But, as they say, that's not all! We're also doing a special week of interviews with some creators who've gone from print to web, ranging from those who've made it a full-time gig to well-known Marvel and DC creators who are dipping into the web as a side project or premiering their new works online. For that week, we'll have:
Phil Foglio (Girl Genius)
Jeff Parker and Erika Moen (Bucko)
Doug TenNapel (Ratfist)
Mike Norton (Battlepug)
Paul Tobin and Colleen Coover (Gingerbread Girl)
And to start everything off, we're talking to the creator of one of the longest-running and most-acclaimed strips on the net – Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content.
Since 2003, Questionable Content (QC to its many fans) has chronicled the lives of rocker/library assistant Marten, Coffee of Doom worker Faye and their friends (and talking mini-robo-PCs) in Jacques' real home of Northampton, Massachusetts.
The hilarious (and at times painfully realistic) chronicles of this crew – from the very strange Hannelore to Marten's ex Dora – have created a unique world that's one of the most relatable – and occasionally surreal – places on the web. The strips are available on the website, and Jacques put out the first hard-copy collection last fall.
We're proud to kick off this new round of webcomic interviews with a talk with Jacques, where we discuss learning to create a comic as you're creating it, his favorite music, making the strip available under a Creative Commons license and when the strip's superheroic "Pizza Girl" will make a comeback. This sort of thing obsesses us.
Newsarama: Jeph, the strip's at eight years now. How long did you initially envision doing it, and what would you say are some of the biggest lessons you've learned since you started? What was it like looking back at earlier material when you did the first collection last fall?
Jeph Jacques: When I started the comic, I figured it would last two or three years, tops, before I got bored of it or ran out of ideas. Boy, that sure didn't happen!
Putting the first book together was a pretty painful process- even though I wasn't doing the layout, I had to re-letter the first 200 strips, which meant hours and hours of staring at my horrible old artwork and needlessly wordy dialog.
But by the time it was finished, I had found an odd sort of appreciation for how simple the art used to be- it was a lot more "iconic," I guess is the word I'm looking for, as opposed to the more realistic anatomy and facial structure I try for these days. They were cute lil' guys back then!
I'd like to do a project in a simpler style like that again someday- now that I actually have a vague grasp of anatomy and composition, it would be a fun experiment.
The biggest lessons I've learned are the most obvious- keep trying to improve and you will improve. You reap what you sow, so don't be a jerk. I've learned to trust my instincts a lot more- if a strip idea seems "too weird" or a plot development seems "too scary," it's almost always a good idea to go with them.
The main thing I've learned is actually something Lionel Richie (of all people) said once, and I paraphrase: "People will never get tired of hearing the words 'I love you' said different ways." My comic is a romance (or a series of romances, or something) at heart, and I think its success is largely explained by that quote.
Nrama: You've talked about how the characters have taken on a life of their own, moving past the initial "will they/won't they" with Marten and Faye. Has it surprised you how much the fans – and yourself – have taken what happens to the characters seriously? How "real' are the characters to you?
Jacques: It was definitely a surprise as the comic became more popular, and for a long while I was actually pretty uncomfortable with how seriously some people took the comic. Folks second-guessing my decisions, or trying to predict what would happen next, or overanalyzing every single word a character said. And there's still a segment of my readership that takes it way, way more seriously than even I do.
But I've come to terms with that over the years, so now when I get emails all "I CAN'T BELIEVE MARTEN AND DORA BROKE UP" it's not so strange. And it's honestly the best compliment in the world that people can become so invested in fictional people I made up in my head.
For me, the characters feel like my kids, or what I imagine having kids must feel like. I want them to do well and be happy, and I get bummed out if they screw up or something bad happens. Writing the Marten and Dora breakup was mentally agonizing, because I just wanted to shake them both and yell "YOU'RE BEING IDIOTS!" But sometimes people do stupid stuff, or break up for dumb reasons. So you just gotta go with it.
Nrama: Something you've been open about is that you've had to learn to draw on the job. What do you feel have been the biggest strides you've made in your technique as the strip has evolved, and what are some areas where you'd still like to develop? How have advances in technology changed the way you've produced the strip?
Jacques: I don't feel like there have been any big eureka moments where my art took a huge leap forward. It's more of a constant series of tiny little experiments, from comic to comic and even panel to panel, as I try new things or try to refine old things or break bad habits.
I think I'm finally getting to the point where characters look less stiff, have more realistic gestures, and their facial shapes are more differentiated. Also, hands. Holy crap do I love drawing hands now!
I'm still not very good at composition, and my anatomy needs work. I have absolutely zero knowledge of color theory. Those gorgeous color schemes in Oglaf? I need to read a book about that stuff.
Nrama: What's coming up for the characters that you can tell us about?
Jacques: Normally I'd say "even I don't know" but I do happen to know a few things at the moment. I just can't tell you about them. Even my wife doesn't know.
Nrama: How involved are you with the local scene in Northampton, and how much inspiration do you draw from the area at this point in the strip's life?
Jacques: I'm 30 years old, which is far too elderly to be involved with any kind of "scene." But I love the town and the general area (I actually live a couple towns over now). A lot of the backgrounds and businesses in the strip exist in the real world Northampton. I think the flavor of the area has contributed a lot to the tone of the comic and the types of characters I write.
Nrama: One thing I'm curious about is if you've heard from actual musicians, and if they've had any stories that have helped shape the direction of the storylines. For that matter, what are some of your current favorite artists/albums, and your thoughts on the shaky state of the music industry?
Jacques: I've had a number of musicians in bands I like send me kind emails for promoting them or mentioning them in the strip, and that's always extremely gratifying. On the occasions I write about band-related stuff in the strip, I tend to pull more from my own failed band attempts since that more closely mirrors where the characters are currently at.
Let's see as far as 2011 goes: The new Low album "C'mon" is the best thing they've ever done and a strong contender for album of the year. The upcoming Battles album is wonderful. The new This Will Destroy You album is a very interesting change of course for the band- more doomy and droney than post-rock.
The new Junior Boys is great. The band And So I Watch You From Afar's upcoming album "Gangs" is like if Mogwai, Neurosis, and Fang Island had a baby and is phenomenal. So great to hear heavy guitars back in indie rock. Anyway I could literally type 1000 words about just stuff that came out this year. It's shaping up to be a good one.
To put it bluntly, the music industry is fucked, and they know it, and everybody else knows it, but nobody knows what exactly is gonna replace it. I think webcomics are proof that you don't need to have a big huge company promoting and distributing your product in order to make a living.
But then, most webcartoonists don't have to split their earnings four or five ways, and even the most ambitious convention-travelers don't put in as many miles or as horrible hours as an indie band on tour. So I think it's gonna get a lot harder for smaller bands, unfortunately
Nrama: What did you learn by being part of Dayfree Press? What do you feel is the importance of interaction among webcomic creators?
Jacques: Dayfree Press isn't really a "thing" anymore, but when it was, it was basically an excuse to get a bunch of cartoonists who got along into conventions at one table with a recognizable identity. That being said, I met some of my best friends in the business there, and thankfully 90% of them are now working with Topatoco like I am, so there's a nice sense of continuity.
Interacting with other creators is vital. I mean, that's how I got my start- I was active on the Dumbrella message boards back in the day, and eventually a couple of those guys noticed my work, liked it, linked it, and it went from there.
These days, it's really nice to be on the opposite end of that interaction- it's great to find someone just starting out who's doing great work and give them a leg up. And the job itself is just so weird and all-consuming that it's really important to have friends you can talk shop with.
Plus, we're cartoonists. We tell jokes for a living. That means a lot of us are pretty funny dudes or ladies!
Nrama: How far in advance do you plot storylines at this point?
Jacques: I have general plot points that I aim for that could happen anywhere from two weeks to five years from now, depending on how long it takes to get there. But frequently the characters will react unexpectedly and nudge things in a different direction, so nothing is really set in stone.
I knew Marten and Dora were going to break up over a year before it happened, but it took that year for things to develop to the point where it actually went down.
Nrama: What are some of the biggest challenges in writing toward such a cast of characters -- do you ever find yourself going, "Woah, I haven't used Pintsize in forever!"
Jacques: Yeah, my cast is getting dangerously Simpsons-esque in terms of overall size now. It can be difficult to give each character the amount of time they're due, but it also gives me incredible flexibility in what I feel like doing on a given day.
Some characters also just work better in small doses (Pintsize, for example) so they don't get the spotlight as often. It feels good to come back to a character after they haven't been around for a while. It's a nice change of pace and keeps things fresh for me.
Honestly, the biggest challenge is to keep the comic from devolving into "Bad Stuff Happens To Hanners And Marigold Daily." I'm really hard on those two.
Nrama: Who are some of your favorite other creators/comics, online and off?
Jacques: Oh gosh, there are so many I couldn't possibly list them all, but off the top of my head: Oglaf, Sam and Fuzzy, Dinosaur Comics, Wigu, MSPaint Adventures, XKCD, Nedroid, Octopus Pie, Hark A Vagrant, Girls With Slingshots, Something Positive, Jerkcity...basically all these plus anything I link on my site.
As for print stuff, I read a lot of manga, my favorites being Yotsuba&! and Vagabond. The only "mainstream" comic I read is Hellboy/BPRD. Mike Mignola's daughter is a fan of QC and brought him over to meet me at C2E2 last year and I nearly crapped my pants I was fanboying out so hard.
Yay comics!
Nrama: What opportunities do you feel have been opened with such new media as iPads and mobile phone content, and what do you feel you and other creators can do to take advantage of these opportunities? For that matter, what do you feel that "mainstream" companies such as Marvel, DC, etc. are doing right and doing wrong in terms of adapting to the electronic format?
Jacques: I really really need to do an official QC app for iOS/Android stuff. I think there's great potentil in creating a fun and functional experience for fans of the strip. I think the prevalence of tablets and smartphones means people are spending more time looking at comics on the train, in the bathroom, waiting for the bus, at the doctor's office, etc- random times where they wouldn't be able to, previously. And that can't be a bad thing.
I haven't paid much attention to the mainstream comics thing. Honestly, the only thing that would make my ears perk up would be if they said "here, you can view EVERY COMIC WE'VE EVER MADE online at high resolution for 99 cents a comic."
Nrama: Do you foresee an endpoint to the strip at some point, or working on other projects outside of QC?
Jacques: I can't imagine I'll be doing the strip until I'm 80, but then I couldn't imagine I'd still be doing it at 30 when I was 24. So who knows? Basically if I ever get to a point where it's not fun to do anymore, or it feels like it's time to leave these characters and move on to something else, I'll do it.
I do want to do side projects. Oh goodness I do. I've got one planned out, roughly, but it ended up being way more ambitious than I was expecting, so I need to keep tinkering until I can get it in a shape I can actually work with.
I also often think it'd be fun to just do the art for someone else's comic. I like writing, but it's a very mysterious and unpredictable process for me. Art is much more straightforward.
Nrama: Dammit, when will Pizza Girl make a comeback? When? WHEN?!
Jacques: oh god TOMORROW OKAY ARE YOU HAPPY NOW SHE WILL BE BACK TOMORROW
For serious: I have no idea! When...when I come up with a good joke for her again?
Nrama: What's next for you?
Jacques" Next convention we're doing is in Calgary, Alberta in June, then it's just prep for San Diego Comic Con. We're putting volume 2 together and hoping to have it out this summer. Then I'd like to do an art book or sketchbook or something to collect the various limited edition prints, scribbles, and other stuff I have cluttering up my hard drive. I'm getting a second dog on Friday, probably. I will continue to play guitar way too loud.
Nrama: Anything else you'd like to talk about that we haven't discussed yet?
Jacques: The new FaltyDL album is great, so is the new Explosions in the Sky, also the new Liturgy and Krallice albums, Siriusmo's "Mosaic" is fantastic...

An Interview With Dr. Lewis Thomas Ttie Road CO Research nlong the tile corridor of the sixth floor of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City stand cylinders of compressed gas, portable trays on wheels, metal stands holding plastic jugs of colorless liquids, and cabinets filled with beakers, glasses, and boxes of chemicals. One passes labs with glass tubing and glowing Bunsen burners, refrigerated labs behind metal doors, and white -coated men and women. At the end of the hall is the office of Dr. Lewis Thomas, chancellor of the institute as well as the author of such renowned books as The Lives of a Cell, The Medusa and the Snail, and, most recently, The Youngest Science, Notes of a Medicine-Watcher. Dr. Thomas is a soft-spoken scientist whose outward calm belies his invigorating mind. As he discusses issues facing the scientific and business communities, he chooses to focus on what he calls the "intellectual connections" between the two fields, particularly the shared concerns about basic and applied research. His thoughts come slowly, softly. His fingers move gently, cupping a cigarette, twirling tortoise shell glasses, cradling his j aw as he speaks. The following is an edited version of a recent conversation. You have said that you are not sure that the term "high technology" could be applied to the biomedical field. Would you care to explain? What I meant is that I don't regard machinery, such as a CAT scanner or the artificial heart, as representing high technology. I think today's version of high technology in the biomedical field is the working out of techniques for manipulating DNA in vivo. Recombinant DNA is an advance that I would regard as the greatest thing that has ever happened in biological science. It is now possible for cell biologists and immunologists and molecular geneticists to get answers that were inconceivable just a few years ago. I think that when historians one day write about the biological revolution, they'll date it in the past decade. The significance of recombinant DNA technology is that we can now begin to look at events not just inside the cell but inside the intricate machinery of these cells, and this means to me that we ought to be able to explore disease mechanisms in a way we've never been able to do before. This is why I'm so optimistic about our being able to do something decisive with the problem of cancer in some sort of real time. The work is moving very fast, and the investigators who are doing this work are extremely enthusiastic, highly competent, and pretty sure that before long they're going to understand what goes on at a deep level in cancer. And when that happens, it is likely that we will be able to devise either pharmacological or immunological approaches that we would not have been able to come up with otherwise. So the great need in medicine is for more basic biomedical research, and I would like to talk about something fascinating that is happening today in this field. What do you see taking place? Well, there are new connections being made between industrial science and academic science. It used to be that industrial science—or applied science—was targeted toward a product, while what -went on in the university world was largely basic science that was aimed at acquiring an understanding of the mechanisms in nature. And there was no connection between those two communities. A few decades ago, this changed in the physical sciences, as institutions like MIT and Cal-Tech began working with the industrial world, and some major corporations began

For years now, psychologists have been telling couples who yell at one another to stop for the sake of the kids. Such conflict in the home — even when no violence is involved — is associated with a host of negative behavioral and life outcomes for children.
Some strands of research have gone so far as to suggest that dissolving a marriage might be better for kids than exposing them to high levels of conflict within a bad marriage.
Still, the effects of parental conflict do not appear to be experienced equally by all children. Some kids do badly when exposed to conflict; others seem to cope much better. Recently, researchers at the University of Oregon decided to try to get a handle on this variability: Is it possible, they asked, that experiences early in life might sculpt the brain in ways that shape the child's response to conflict later in life?
Psychologists Alice Graham, Philip Fisher and Jennifer Pfeifer decided to take a look at what happens inside the brains of infants when they hear conflict and angry voices. The approach was straightforward: Use a noninvasive brain-scanning technique known as fMRI to scan the brains of infants and identify, in real time, which areas of the brain are activated by angry voices.
There was one problem. These brain scans required the infants to lie really still for an extended period of time in a noisy scanner. The odds of that happening: close to zero.
That is, unless, the psychologists reasoned, the infants were asleep. Was it possible that even during sleep, the brain continued to take in and process angry voices?
In a study published in Psychological Science that is at least as remarkable for its methodology as for its results, the researchers had a couple of dozen infants brought into a brain-scanning lab at bedtime. First, the parents rocked the infants to sleep. Then Graham and her colleagues carefully placed the sleeping children inside the brain scanner. Via a pair of headphones, they piped in voices saying nonsense sentences such as, "I pulimented a mopar." The voices spoke in different tones — angry, neutral and happy.
Graham, a doctoral student at the school, said the most surprising thing was not that the brains of infants responded differently to the different tones — which suggests that the brain is more than capable of taking in information while a child is asleep — but that there were stark differences among the children. Infants who came from homes with lots of conflict, where the parents yelled at one another and called each other unpleasant names, showed a heightened activation in certain areas of the brain.
"What we see for the infants in higher-conflict homes is that they are showing greater reactivity to the very angry tone of voice," Graham says, "and that reactivity is in brain regions that we think are important later on in terms of your ability to regulate your emotions and function well."
The scientists acknowledged that it's not immediately clear what the findings mean. If the infants from high-conflict homes are especially reactive to angry voices, this could be consistent with the studies that have found that conflict in the homes is psychologically damaging for children. On the other hand, it's also possible that the heightened activation is connected with the way the brain develops resilience: The brain activation might point to the possibility that the infants were learning to deal with high conflict. The only way to find out would be to follow such children over time and see what happens to them. Graham says the study is just a first step toward understanding the role of early influences in how children come to process conflict.
And as for advice to quarreling parents, she says, the bottom line might be simple: Your kids are listening to you, even when they are asleep.
This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm Steve Inskeep, good morning.
Today in Your Health, we have two stories about angry parents and how their arguments affect their children. We've known for a long time that when parents fight a lot, it can have a psychological impact on kids. In fact, some parents know this so well that they save their arguments until after they put the kids to bed. This morning we start with some disturbing new research on how arguments by parents affect infants.
NPR science correspondent Shankar Vedantam is here to tell us about it. Hi, Shankar.
SHANKAR VEDANTAM, BYLINE: Hi, Steve.
INSKEEP: OK, so what is this new research telling us that was not known before?
VEDANTAM: Well, so lots of studies have looked at the link between parental conflict and outcomes in children. And most of them have looked at children who are older. And what researchers find is that there is a lot of variability. So some children seem to react really adversely to their parents' fighting. And other children seem largely fine.
INSKEEP: Some kids act out and become angry themselves. Some kids may just find a way to deal with it.
VEDANTAM: Yeah. So researchers have been asking what explains this variability among children. And one of the theories that they're exploring is that your experiences very early in life might sculpt the way you respond to conflict the rest of your life.
INSKEEP: Well, now this is real interesting, because we're talking about kids who obviously haven't learned to speak yet. They don't really know what's going on. They can't necessarily follow the argument, but they're asking does it affect the kid anyway.
VEDANTAM: Exactly, so researchers at the University of Oregon decided to conduct brain scans on a couple dozen infants. And it's a completely noninvasive procedure but you have to lie really still in the scanner. Now, obviously these are children who are six months to a year old; you can't expect them to lie still in the scanner, especially because it makes this really loud din.
And so, the researchers said: What if the children were asleep, is it possible that they're still taking in information even when they're asleep. And we can test to see how their brains respond to different kinds of conflict. So Alice Graham, Phil Fisher and Jennifer Pfeifer, they had parents bring in a whole bunch of babies at bedtime. And when the children were asleep they put the infants into the scanner, stuck headphones on them and played these different sentences.
And these weren't actual words and actual sentences. But these were nonsense sentences in different tones of voice. Some of them were angry and some of them were neutral and some of them were happy. I asked her what these sounded like and here's what she told me.
ALICE GRAHAM: So, maybe very angry would be like: I pulamented a mopar(ph). And just angry would be: I pulamented a mopar. And then in a neutral tone of voice it might be: I pulamented a mopar. And then in a happy tone of voice it might be: I pulamented a mopar.
INSKEEP: Now I'm thinking about all the different ways I can say that nonsense phrase. I pulamented a mopar? I pulamented a mopar. So what, Shankar, did the researchers find when they played these syllables to kids in different ways?
VEDANTAM: So, Graham told me she was astonished to find that the babies' brains actually reacted differently to the happy and the angry tones, that she could actually detect differences in brain reactions to these different tones. And what this shows is that even when children are asleep they are still taking in information. And that was not the most interesting thing.
She found that the babies who came from high-conflict homes - these are homes were the parents are shouting at one another, yelling at one another, calling each other names - these babies not only had even higher activation in the brain in response to angry tones, the activation was in specific areas of the brain linked to emotional functioning.
Here she is again.
GRAHAM: What we see for the infants in higher conflict homes is that they're showing greater reactivity to the very angry tone of voice. And that reactivity is in brain regions that we think are important later on in terms of your ability to regulate your emotions and function well.
INSKEEP: That's Alice Graham, who spoke with Shankar Vedantam. And, Shankar, I want to make sure I understand this. You're saying these are kids who have already, as infants, witnessed a lot of fighting. And when these angry sounds are played to them, you see their brains responding differently than other children. They seem to have been changed already by the experience of witnessing this fighting.
VEDANTAM: Yes. So the big question, Steve, is what do the changes in the brain actually mean. One possible interpretation is that these children are somehow already being scarred for life, and that they're going to respond to conflict in these heightened ways. Another interpretation could be this is how the brain learns to be resilient. And by adapting and changing you actually are going to reduce your reactivity to conflict later in life.
So I don't think we know exactly what it means that you're seeing these brain changes. But I think what we can say for sure is that what the study shows is that parents need to be aware that children are listening to what they say, even when they're asleep.
INSKEEP: That's NPR's science correspondent Shankar Vedantam. Shankar, thanks for coming by.
VEDANTAM: Thanks, Steve. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A couple whose children survived the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings is now homeless after a fire ravaged their home in Newtown, Conn.
Hans and Audra Barth and their three children lost everything in the fire Wednesday afternoon.
Two of their children attended Sandy Hook Elementary School; Peter Barth was a first-grader in teacher Kaitlin Roig's classroom.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Roig has been called a hero for barricading her students in a bathroom as the shooter killed 20 other first-graders and six educators.
"How much? How much can we take, you know? How much can we deal with," Audra Barth told NBC 4 New York on Friday.
After the fire, the children started asking questions, their mother said.
"They weren't concerned about stuff — they never once asked, 'Are my toys burned? ... The only question they asked: 'Is Goliath OK?" Barth said.
Goliath, the family chihuahua and Peter's best buddy, did not survive.
The family buried their beloved pet in the woods, but only after Peter drew half a heart on Goliath's makeshift casket.
"I said 'Why don't you draw a whole heart?' and he said 'I can't because the other piece is broken,'" said Barth, as she fought back tears.
St. Rose of Lima Church is taking donations for the family, but Barth is just thankful the family is together.

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – Georgia Southwestern women's basketball team traveled to play Peach Belt Conference opponent North Georgia on Saturday afternoon. Lockett's 17 point team high was unable to wavier the 22nd ranked North Georgia team during the 85-68 loss.
These two teams met earlier in season on January 23rd in Americus at the Storm Dome. North Georgia won by six points.
North Georgia was off with an early five point lead in the first half. Lockett was able to complete the next made eight points for GSW, the last three came from a fouled jump shot and free throw at 14:46. Shatoria Hudson kept the game within four points after a layup and two made free throws at 12:45. The Lady 'Canes didn't have another basket until Jasmine McSwain finished a play with a nice layup. At the 7:55 mark, GSW was down by 11. The Lady 'Canes went on a 12-0 run between the 5:19 marker and 3:23 mark, starting and ending with free throws by Shaniece Sheffield, bringing the score back to a four point difference. Other shots in this time were made by McSwain (5), Tanyetta Hill, and Kiana Griffin. The half ended with a layup by Tiara Thompson and a score of GSW 28 – NG 36.
At this point in the game Lockett had secured eight of her total points. And six different Lady 'Canes made steals compared to North Georgia's three.
The Lady 'Canes came back into the second half fired up and ready to score. Beginning with a layup by Thompson, the Lady 'Canes succeeded in a much needed 14-6 run over the Nighthawks. The last basket in this series was by a layup from McSwain. This basket brought the score to 42-all. The Nighthawks quickly went away with the game on a 38-18 point run away. The three-point basket at 2:51 by Nighthawks Jordan Livesay reached NG largest lead of the game with 22 points. GSW finished the game strong, scoring 6-1 with free throws by Thompson and Griffin and a basket by Locket. North Georgia came out victorious in a 85-68 point win.
A few noteworthy stats, GSW's bench scored 22 points compared to North Georgia's 14. The Lady 'Canes committed only four more turnovers than the Nighthawks. GSW was only shy four rebounds from equaling boards with NG.
The 22nd ranked Nighthawks advance to a 21-5 overall record and 15-4 in PBC. GSW finishes the season with a 9-17 overall record and 4-15 PBC record.
Shanedra Lockett led GSW with 17 points and nine rebounds. Jasmine McSwain joined in double-digit scoring of 14 points and four rebounds. Shatoria Hudson added ten points and one rebound, while Tiara Thompson added eight points and six rebounds. Danyelle Jones finished the game with notably three assists, six points and four rebounds.
GSW was unable to keep up with North Georgia standout Mimi Hill, who scored 37 points and grabbed nine rebounds. The next highest scorer for the Nighthawks was Stephanie Huffman with 15 points and seven rebounds.

Some usefull software:
To enable 3D effects on mate you will need compiz, it adds some really cool effects and makes the os look really really really cool.
Installing Compiz on Mate 14.1 :
1- install the followig packages ( Via Synaptic manager ):
- compiz-gnome
- compizconfig-settings-manager
- fusion-icon
- compiz-plugins-extra
- libdecoration0-dev
2- In terminal run "compiz --replace" or run Compiz Fusion Icon and choose compiz as your window manager.
3- Go to Startup Applications click on add and in the name field write "compiz" and in the command field enter "compiz --replace"(without the punctuation) click on Add again then Close. This is to make compiz start automatically on next logins.
4- To stop that high CPU usage run in terminal "mateconf-editor". When the editor opens go to /desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager and replace "marco" with "compiz".
3- install "dconf-editor" by runnig in terminal:
sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
Then press ALT + F2 and run: "dconf-editor", navigate to org > gnome > desktop > wm > preferences and change the "theme" value from "Adwaita" to "Clearblocks. Remember this because in the same place you can also change the window button layout, among others.
Then open Start Menu, All, Apearances, customise and set Controls to Clearblocks, borders to spidey.
You will notice that file copy in linux is really basic, you cant qeue files, cant resume/pause them or anything, so i would highly recommend you install Double commander, which is the linux version of total commander which basicly is an app that adds all these features :
to use any kind of Windows programs or games you will need to install Wine, type following commands into terminal :In the terminal type :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexx2000/doublecmd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install doublecmd-qt
You can then just run Double commander from your start menu anytime and copy away ...
for Torrents install Deluge, its the closest look and feel to most Windows Torrent apps :In the terminal type :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.5
In the terminal type :
sudo-apt-get install deluge
To Mount ISO Bin, NRG etc etc files install furiusmount, it is similar to deamon tools :
The first time you mount a image, right click image and choose open with other application, then cgoose custom command andbrowse to your "filesystem/usr/bin" directory and select furiusiso and tick "remember this application", now next time you want to mount an image you simply double click it. this works for any other files you want to associate with programs. All exe's of everything you install is inside the "file system/usr/bin" directory.In the terminal type :
sudo apt-get install furiusmountiso
If you are going to Dual boot between Windows and Linux, then i highly recommend you install Grub Customizer 3.0. It will allow you to edit and customise the boot loading screen and customise the menu as you wish.
If you are used to using internet download manager and multi threaded downloads then fear not, there is a similar app in Linux called multiget, follow the instructions below to set it up :In the terminal type :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
now whenever you click a link multiget will grab the download.Install Multiget :
In the terminal type :
sudo Apt-get install multiget
in firefox :
Install the addon flashgot in firefox via "tools->addons" and get more extensions.
Open FlashGot Options (Tools -> FlashGot ->More Options)
Click Add
Enter the download manager name: MultiGet
Browse the location of MultiGet at /usr/bin
Find MultiGet then click Open
This is the important steps. insert [url=URL] [refer=REFERER] in the command line arguments place. That is for make flashgot can work together with multiget
Finally, click Ok
Some usefull tips concerning linux, now keep in mind ive only been using it for a few months so pretty much a newbie myself, but i have learned a few tricks here and there.
GPU Driver :
To enable your graphics driver go to "start menu->preferences->software sources->additional drivers". you can set your GPU drivers there.
Mouse pad buttons on Laptop not working :
go to "menu->control center->mouse->touchpad" and enable them there.
Install software via Terminal:
The command for installing a program manually via terminal will ALWAYS be : sudo get-apt install "appname"
Make sure you spell it exactly right, if it shows no spaces in name in software manager or wherever you saw the name, then you leave out the spaces as well.
The command Sudo is used for giving terminal admin rights, so if you are doing something and get a access denied error, just add Sudo in front of the command and it should work.
Installing .run files :
Open Terminal in directory that file is in ( right click "open in terminal" ) and type the following :
If you perfer running Chrome or Opera or internet explorer in windows, then im sorry to be bearer of bad news, but running those in Linux will be more headaches than anything else, Yes they all work, but in linux the majority of users use firefox and thus all the cool addons and stuff is written mostly for Firefox. I hated firefox before i moved to linux, but i have learned to appreciate the browser simply because of all the features that has been added via addons. I have however downloaded a few addons to make my firefox feel more like my opera did, in both style and features. I will list some usefull addons you can try if you wish :sudo chmod a+rx filename.run
sudo ./filename.run
you can go search each of those addons and read the descriptions, but they have made life so much better for me.adblock plus
download helper
extended statusbar
facebook notification
FVD speedial
gmail notifier
mint search enhancer
similar sites
zoom page
Adding shortcuts on desktop :
to make shortcut right click desktop and choose "create launcher" and then click browse button and point it to filesystem/usr/bin/appname"
if you want to make a shortcut to a program in wine then the path to browse is : "home/your_username/.wine/drive_c/and wherever your app exe is".
Running windows in a Virtual machine:
the same programs that windows users use for virtual machine exist in linux as well. Virtualbox, Vmware and parrallels. However, Virtualbox is fastest, easiest to use and its free, so its highly recommended you install that :
the rest is the same as windows, the only other recommendations i can give you is unless you have an I7 with 8 threads then make sure you set only 1 core on a virtual XP machine and also make sure you untick "VT-X". your virtual XP will run so much faster.In the terminal type :
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
if there is a program you want to install, but its not listed in the software manager, dont stress !!! normaly if you search google you will find the ppa for it. PPA is repository addresses that link linux to the location of the setup files. Since mint is based on ubuntu and everything between them are compatible i have learned to seach for both linuxmint and ubuntu in my search terms, i normaly get a hit with one or the other or both.
for example searching "grub customizer ubuntu" will yeild results pointing to this page : http://www.noobslab.com/2012/11/install ... buntu.html and on that page you will find install instructions starting with the PPA :
I think this is everything that comes to mind of stuff i messed around with and eventualy got to work in linux, its all a learning curve and im enjoying every moment of it, there is alot of guides floating around that will give you detailed instructions on how to do stuff, and the community here on mint forums are always extremely helpfull. if i think of anything else i will edit it into this thread.sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
Can someone please Sticky this thread ?

According to its website, the University of Southern Mississippi is "one of only 31 universities in the United States nationally accredited in all four arts disciplines; theater, dance, art and music." Whether you're pursuing a degree in performance and choreography or have all the coordination of a giraffe on roller skates, USM is the place to be. "Southern Miss" not only boasts one of the strongest fine arts programs in the country, it's affordable to boot. You'll have plenty of money left over to buy new paintbrushes. USM boasted an enrollment of 17,254 as of Fall 2010, with students from all 50 states and 70 different countries. You're just as likely to party with a Jazz Studies major from Pittsburgh as with a Geology major from Paris—now that's what we call variety.
Did you know that Jimmy Buffett once attended Southern Miss? Even someone living in Margaritaville needs a place to stay. There are luxury apartments and townhouses around campus, many of which offer amenities like pools, fitness centers, and tennis courts. If daily dips in the pool sound preferable to fire drills and community bathrooms, you'll want to look for off-campus housing fast. Find a roommate and make your search easier. Just check out our college life guide for help dealing with roommates prone to singing show tunes at 2 a.m.
If the Hydrographic Science Research Center isn't your idea of a cool weekend hang, there are plenty of fun places to visit in Hattiesburg when you get bored of mapping the ocean floor. Hop in your car or hitch a ride on the Hub City Transport. Rock your black-and-gold hoodie at Mugshots Bar and Grill or Keg and Barrel. If you're not down with the jukebox, visit T-Bones Records & Cafe and pick up some old-school hip-hop albums (or Barry Manilow, if that's your thing). Tired of watching gross videos on YouTube with your roommate? Head over to the Grand Theatre and watch something that won't scar you for life. There's tons of stuff to do around USM's campus when that flash mob at the Thad Cochran Center doesn't work out.
Has the time come for you to get out of the dorm and move into an off campus WCC apartment? Perhaps the options available from the William Carey College housing office no longer meet your needs and you would like to find a cheap apartment close to the WCC campus. If so, you can search for off campus William Carey College apartments with MyNewPlace's college housing search.
Although William Carey College student housing may be very conveniently close to campus, moving to an off campus apartment can be a great way to save money, put some distance in between yourself and an RA, get accustomed to living in your own apartment and building up rental history.
WCC apartments for rent are available close to campus and in other neighborhoods around Hattiesburg, Mississippi . Using our map based university apartment finder, you can find off campus housing near campus to ensure you can still get to all the WCC games and make it to class on time.
We can help you find off campus WCC apartments that will best suit your collegiate lifestyle; search William Carey College apartments by the number of bedrooms, price, neighborhood or a range of other amenities.

DOVER — Though many parts of Strafford and Rockingham counties braced for what was expected to be another winter storm on the heels of this past weekend's storm, this system had weather officials scratching their heads right up until the storm was expected to begin winding down Wednesday night.
"It's going to be a while before the fat lady sings," National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Sinsabaugh said.
He said the storm — and, yes, this was by definition a storm despite its lackluster appearance — had been a "real pain in the neck" to forecast.
"It's a real misbehaving storm," he said.
He said it would continue to be a "pain in the neck" to predict throughout the overnight hours.
By nightfall Wednesday, there was distinct variation in not only accumulation totals, but what type of precipitation fell in local areas.
Places closer to the coast, he said, experienced mostly rain while points further inland saw at least some snow.
In some spots of Strafford County, roughly four inches of snow had fallen before 6 p.m. In higher elevations in New Durham the accumulation was even greater.
Serving as what seemed like a mid-point between rain and snow, Dover experienced mostly a wintry mix of precipitating slush over the course of Wednesday.
By late afternoon the commute was slick since rain had fallen for most of the morning and colder temperatures began to set in for the night.
A layer of slush covered roadways as the rain turned to snow as motorists made the messy commute home.
Closer to the coast, a high surf crashed against rocks and the shoreline in New Castle against a gray sky that left the rest of the day's weather open for question.
During Wednesday night's Dover City Council meeting, City Manager Michael Joyal said the city has spent a lot of money this winter in snow cleanup during the many storms to strike. He said adjustments may have to be made in order to afford the rest of the winter, if rough weather continues.
"I will be working with department heads and our staff to make the needed adjustments for the remainder of this year in the likelihood that we have a few more storms ahead of us," he said, regarding the amount of money they city has spent on storm cleanup so far.
He said although he has the ability to make these adjustments on his own, he will go the council to let them know if he plans to make any adjustments.
A little farther north in Rochester, snow slowly accumulated all day and was piling up.
Sinsabaugh said that was completely normal, even within counties, let alone across the state. He said some areas might just get some sleet and rain, while other communities in the same county could see inches upon inches of snow.
Many minor as well as some significant car accidents were attributed to slick roads Wednesday.
While many power outages were expected from this storm, with its mix of heavy snow and freezing rain building up on wires and tree limbs, there was only a small number reported Wednesday night.

You Deserve a Second Chance
Second Chance Apartments

There is a $19 Fee to access listings.
Free Credit Score with purchase. (optional)
Bad Credit OK
Past Eviction OK
Broken Lease OK
Bankruptcy OK
Choose from a variety of spacious apartments, each with ample closet space and modern amenities. Enjoy life on beautiful tree-lined streets, with easy access to shuttle transportation, shopping, and entertainment.

Second chance leasing is here to provide housing to individuals despite a negative rental history. Prospective landlords check with previous landlords to determine the type of tenant you are, and they're hesitant to rent to anyone with past rental problems. They view it as a risk, and that you won't pay your rent to them, even if your financial situation has changed. Some landlords that offer second chance leasing, however, are willing to take that risk, but it will cost you a higher deposit.
Reasons people need a second chance apartment.
You have failed to pay rent on time, consistently
You broke a lease
You owe a balance to former landlord
You moved without giving proper notice
You've been evicted
You've filed bankruptcy
You have a foreclosure
You have a low credit score
Second Chance Apartments Requirements
Any negative rental history will need to be 24 months or older. If it is more recent you wont qualify. Bankruptcy cases will need to be closed, either discharged or dismissed. Your case cannot be open. You will also need a minimum income of 3x the monthly rent. For example if your looking to rent a place for $500 per month you will need to earn $1500 (GROSS) before tax deductions. A background check is also required. For details on criminal checks you will need to contact the community to see what they look for. Sex offenders will be denied.
Benefits to Second Chance Tenants
The immediate benefit to you is that you have shelter. It's tough trying to find housing with a negative rental history, and second chance leasing will give you a place to live. For this reason, it's worth it even if you have to pay a higher security deposit and pay for monies owed to previous landlords and creditors. You also have the opportunity to establish yourself as a good tenant for future rentals. For example, if you stay with the second chance leasing for 2 years, pay your rent early or on time, keep your home free of damages and maintain a good relationship with your landlord, you will have more success at getting your rental application approved at your next home.

Home » Measurement » Reliability »
True Score Theory
True Score Theory is a theory about measurement. Like all theories, you need to recognize that it is not proven -- it is postulated as a model of how the world operates. Like many very powerful model, the true score theory is a very simple one. Essentially, true score theory maintains that every measurement is an additive composite of two components: true ability (or the true level) of the respondent on that measure; and random error. We observe the measurement -- the score on the test, the total for a self-esteem instrument, the scale value for a person's weight. We don't observe what's on the right side of the equation (only God knows what those values are!), we assume that there are two components to the right side.
The simple equation of X = T + eX has a parallel equation at the level of the variance or variability of a measure. That is, across a set of scores, we assume that:
var(X) = var(T) + var(eX)
In more human terms this means that the variability of your measure is the sum of the variability due to true score and the variability due to random error. This will have important implications when we consider some of the more advanced models for adjusting for errors in measurement.
Why is true score theory important? For one thing, it is a simple yet powerful model for measurement. It reminds us that most measurement has an error component. Second, true score theory is the foundation of reliability theory. A measure that has no random error (i.e., is all true score) is perfectly reliable; a measure that has no true score (i.e., is all random error) has zero reliability. Third, true score theory can be used in computer simulations as the basis for generating "observed" scores with certain known properties.
You should know that the true score model is not the only measurement model available. measurement theorists continue to come up with more and more complex models that they think represent reality even better. But these models are complicated enough that they lie outside the boundaries of this document. In any event, true score theory should give you an idea of why measurement models are important at all and how they can be used as the basis for defining key research ideas.

text: Set in a forgotten section of New Orleans, Purslane Hominy Will (Johansson), a jaded teenage loner, returns to the city of her childhood upon hearing of her mother's death. Expecting to find her mother's house abandoned, Pursy is instead shocked to discover that it is inhabited by two men whose lives took a wrong turn years before. Friends of her mother's, Bobby Long (Travolta), a former literature professor, and his protege/biographer Lawson Pines (Macht) have been firmly rooted in the dilapidated house for years with no intention of leaving. When all three stand their ground, they are forced to try to live together, setting the stage for the story of three people and their unlikely home. As time passes, Bobby, Lawson and Pursy are surprised by the secrets they discover about themselves and their histories, revealing the seemingly small choices that have inextricably intertwined their lives.

The attainable speeds for super-precision bearings are primarily dependent on bearing type, design and material, type and magnitude of load as well as lubricant and lubrication method. For the permissible speed, operating temperature is an additional limit.
Super-precision bearing arrangements in high-speed applications require bearings that generate the least amount of friction and frictional heat. Super-precision angular contact ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings are best suited for these applications. For extremely high speeds, hybrid bearings (bearings with ceramic rolling elements) may be necessary.
When compared to other super-precision bearing types, angular contact ball bearings enable the highest speeds. Diagram 1 compares the relative speed capability of SKF angular contact ball bearings in the different series. For details about the bearing series, refer to the Designation system.
Thrust bearings cannot accommodate speeds as high as radial bearings.
It is a general rule that a certain loss of rigidity must be tolerated to attain higher speeds.
For additional information about attainable speeds, refer to Speeds.

Generally, zoning regulations are created in order to maintain certain minimum standards for the community, thereby preserving and enhancing property values. Townships are authorized to enact zoning in accordance with Section 519 of the Ohio Revised Code. In 1959, the Union Township Board of Trustees took the appropriate steps to establish districts where different and conflicting uses were separated to the extent practicable. Guidelines were also established to define the type and scale of uses to be permitted in each district. Special conditions, exceptions, uses, and other variations to adopted requirements are also established in the zoning code.
Union Township Zoning Resolution
Official Union Township Zoning Map
Hundreds of permits are issued annually in Union Township. However, before a permit can be issued, all requirements of the zoning resolution must be met. This sometimes means that the property must change its zoning district designation. In certain circumstances, property owners may need to request variations from standards due to challenging site constraints. The Zoning Resolution also establishes duties for appointed and elected officials, defines specific procedures to follow with regards to complaints, violations, and also outlines the manner in which rezoning requests are to be processed and reviewed. The Planning and Zoning Department staff welcome the opportunity to assist you with any questions you might have regarding the specific requirements of the Zoning Resolution.
Administrative Review
Zoning Department is permitted to administratively review and approve minor amendments to any approved Planned-Unit Development site plan, including those within the R-3 Planned Multi-Family Residential District, R-4 Single Family Variable Structure Residential District, and PD Planned Development District. Approval of a proposed amendment is subject to discretion of the Planning & Zoning Director.

Elected and Appointed Boards
Union Township Zoning Commission
As new development or redevelopment is proposed, it is sometimes necessary to change to a different zoning district to accommodate the project. The Union Township Zoning Commission is comprised of citizens who are appointed by the Board of Trustees, and who are charged with reviewing the details of the requested zoning amendments. After reviewing proposed amendments, the Zoning Commission forwards recommendations to the Union Township Board of Trustees, which ultimately determines whether to amend the zoning map or text as requested. The same process is required to make an amendment to the text of the Zoning Resolution. It is also the same process utilized for new Planned-Unit Development proposals or where the approval period has lapsed due to lack of development activity.
For any requested zoning map or zoning text amendment, a strict schedule is followed with regard to submittal deadlines, public hearing dates, and decisions, as all of these requirements must be administered in accordance with state law. Additionally, every zoning change application must be accompanied by all required documentation prior to moving forward in the process. The Planning & Zoning Department is ready to assist interested parties in navigating the complex rezoning process, and our staff can answer any questions regarding application requirements, public hearing notices, or other zoning-related issues.

Union Township Board of Zoning Appeals
Zoning regulations are applied uniformly across the township. Each project must follow the specific regulations established for its district along with the basic underlying requirements for all properties as they are on the books today, or no permit can be issued. Essentially, the Union Township Board of Zoning Appeals is comprised of citizens who are appointed by the Board of Trustees and are empowered by the Zoning Resolution to grant variance regulations. In the same text are the standards that the "BZA" must use to consider whether or not a variance may be granted.
The Board of Zoning Appeals also reviews and approves Conditional Use applications. Certain uses, while not generally permitted, may be given special consideration by the BZA, provided the use is located in a designated district and provided certain conditions can be met. Conditional use applications follow the same procedure and schedule as variance requests.
The BZA holds a public hearing, actually classified as a legal proceeding, once a month to consider applications that have been submitted for either conditional use approval or variance. As with other zoning processes, a pre-application meeting with staff is required to assist you in determining exactly what issues are involved.

Focus Overlay District Regulations
In addition to being charged with numerous other responsibilities and duties, the Union Township Board of Trustees also reviews and approves Focus Area Overlay District applications. Essentially, Focus Area District Regulations are options available to property owners that grant additional flexibility over conventional zoning regulations by relaxing restrictions in order to achieve redevelopment goals, including the promotion of economic development and the elimination of blighting influences. This tool is available for properties that lie within the corridors specified in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan 20/20.
If a property lies within a Focus Area and has the appropriate zoning designation for the desired use but can't meet every requirement set down in that district, an application may be made to the Board of Trustees submitting the details of the desired project. In this fashion, commercial properties and business operations that pre-date zoning or were developed under outdated guidelines can seek approvals to make changes or upgrades they would otherwise be prevented from making. Overlay District applications are considered as part of the Board of Trustees' regular monthly meeting.

Planned Unit Development Major Amendment ProcessThe Union Township Board of Trustees also reviews and approves administrative amendments to approved residential and commercial Planned-Unit Developments. The Zoning Resolution specifically authorizes applicants within an approved Planned-Unit Development to submit an application directly to the Board of Trustees for consideration. Major Amendments within the R-3 Planned Multi-Family District, R-4 Single Family Variable Structure Residential District, and PD Planned Development District are considered as part of the Board of Trustees' regular monthly meeting.

Anthropology News website has an expansive array of content and commentary in addition the their print version. Here's a highlight of a popular trending story by AAA member, Robert R. Sauders. Read the entire article here.
Over the past two months, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement has captured the attention of the world with its ongoing demonstrations aimed at highlighting the social, political and economic disparities that exist between the wealthiest 1% and the remaining 99% of the population. What began as a call by the Canada-based Adbusters magazine for a protest in the financial district of New York City to address the overwhelming influence and power of corporations and financial institutions has quickly spread across the country and throughout the world. However, defining OWS has proven difficult given its lack of hierarchical leadership, absence of specific, actionable demands and overwhelmingly cellular organizational structure. Views on the movement have varied with opponents framing OWS as "a growing mob" and supporters identifying OWS as "a democratic awakening".

In the last update, we covered the discovery and destruction of a very old and very hacked up wiring harness. In this edition of "how Ben spends his free time" we'll look at how to resurrect that rats nest. I'm not a master electrician, as such I don't have many spools of delightfully colorful wire with which to properly copy the wire color code. Since Radio Shack is apparently now an iPod accessories retailer, I went to Murray's for their wide selection of well priced wire. We're not dealing with a ton of variation here, so red, white, black and gray were picked up in 16 gage sizing along with a selection of necessary connectors. All the other bits and pieces were already awaiting my return to the garage.
Step one in the process is to size up and cut the proper length of replacement wire. Here you have a bit of freedom to make changes. Make a wire longer if you want to route it differently or need additional slack, shorter if it's slopping all over the engine bay and you want to clean things up. Once you've stripped a quarter inch of insulation off, mate the clean end of one wire to the clean end of the other, I like to mesh the two together in line. At this point, grab your nice hot soldering iron (you are a lazy bastard if you use the twist and tape method) and begin heating the joint. If you are adding your heat shrink already, make sure it's at least six inches away from the joint - heat conduction through the wire may shrink the tubing in a place you don't want it to (guess how I know that). When the wire is hot enough, the solder will flow into the joint, advance the solder as it melts until you are happy with the amount solder in the joint (it should look all silvery). I'm thorough, so I flip the joint over and work the same way from the back. Let the joint cool for a moment and test it by pulling from both ends. If it fails, you suck, try again. When the joint has cooled to the touch, slide the heat shrink over the joint and you can use the hot soldering iron to shrink the covering in place. Of course if you're doing a lot of tubing, it's a easier to just use your heat gun.
Now for connectors. Just crimping them on is not a great way to do things, they inevitably fall off or the wire corrodes and the electrical connection fails. That doesn't mean the store bought connectors can't be used. Make sure you've got your heat shrink precut and slipped onto the wire, then go ahead and crimp you connector of choice onto the wire, but when you're done there, cut that nasty hard plastic cover off. Now you've got a nice place to solder the mechanical connection together and provide some insurance. Heat the connector and capillary action will pull the solder pool into the joint, cool. Perform the magical heat shrink tubing trick again. With all the wires repaired, I decided to go with a temporary wire management solution. I bemoaned using spiral wrap last time, but since I wasn't able to figure out what the brown mystery wire leads to, spiral wrap was used in the interest of easily taking things apart later.
While I was in there I decided to rework the hard line into the carb. The lazy bums that put the Holley on got a hard line designed for fuel delivery from the back of the engine. Great except the fuel comes from the front on this car. As a result the hose ran in a big loop from the fuel pump over the passenger side valve cover, around to the firewall and then forward to the hard line. To fix this, I took the line, packed it with sand, capped both ends and bent it by hand to fit in a forward facing orientation. Happily as a result of this change I was able to remove about two feet of excess fuel line (throttle lag? naaah). For no apparent reason, the ignition vacuum advance was 6 inches longer than it needed to be, so that got clipped too. A much cleaned up engine bay now greets me every time I walk into the garage.
Before hooking everything up, go over all the poles with a brass wire brush to make sure there is a good contact, then commence reassembly. Get a friend to watch over things as you turn on the ignition. Smoke = bad. Your friend should let you know if that occurs. If no smoke happens, go ahead and crank it over. If it starts you win, if it doesn't you forgot something (fired right up btw). And that concludes todays lesson.

Canadian Winters and rural driving
Canadian Winters and rural driving
i live in toronto
i got my new S 2 weeks ago
85 kwh battery
the car is terrific to drive
i have no plug in option at home and i recharge at my office 220 v 40 amp
i loose 50 km each night sitting in the cold
if you want to contact me 416 543 8848
You can't even plug in to a 110? Any plug in will warm and maintain the battery level.
Really? You live in a place so rural you don't have electricity at all at home? No power lines and no gas driven generators? You sit in the dark or by a candle each night after getting home looking forward to summer so can pick up reading again? Come on dude - surely you do not live like that?
What about picking up a hi quality extension chord made for RV and campers that are really thick and can handle loads of power and plug in at night?
Like JaneW says, any outlet will do just to maintain and get a little extra.
Will surely make your life easier.
I am interested in this topic as well (fellow Canadian here!)
Here's a video where they tested the S's snow/ice performance at a facility
Also, Norway is Tesla's second biggest market so it must do all right.
Not sure what Davev's situation is, but if he has street parking only and can handle the lost 50km, then he might just not have any way set up to charge. Running extension chords across the lawn in the snow might not be possible
I lose about 50km a day as well on the very cold days. I got my 'S in March and have driven about 3000km now. The car works as described in cold weather. The new 4.3 update really helped with cold weather range estimates. I cant wait for 4.4 to come out with the reworked sleep mode. That should really help with vampire losses, particularly when we need to preserve the battery when it is ice cold out.
If possible in your market, you should consider the new "Cold weather Package" :
Only offered in Europe, so far.
i am not abel to charge in my downtown toronto home because the city does not allow any private parking spots on my small downtown lot where i live. they will not allow any wires along the side walk du to trip hazard
the city will not allow me to park in front of my house because it takes away from the lawn that the city does not want paved over
i have street permit parking only
i have gone to city zoning twice to manager level with no sucess
i live in a semi detached house downtown Toronto
you made many assumptions ALL wrong
we do have electricty in Canada and Toronto
