I sent out eight queries using this letter, and got two positive responses. I\'d like to improve those odds. One agent said that my publishing credits interested her more than my query. Please help!
Dear Agent So-and-so,
Tamana Sorn thought shed long ago severed her connections to the hidden realm of Tanagal and its ruler, Queen Maire--but when she finds a Tangalian corpse in her garden, and her strangely gifted apprentice disappears, she plunges into a world of conspiracy and deadly magic. [Booktitle] is a 100,000 word fantasy combining the grounded feel of [authorexample1]\'s books with the wry sensibility of [authorexample2].
Tamana Sorn has eked out a quiet living as an herbal healer among mortals: teaching nine-year-old Braye how ash-onion softens bad dreams, how beggar\'s cap increases generosity. She discovers that the boy has an unusual talent: he can see through things. It\'s a gift that brings unwanted attention. When Braye vanishes, Tamana returns to Tanagal--a land she once renounced--in search of the boy. There she frees Corrid, a man ensnared in deerhound form, and encounters shapeshifters who force her into their own mold with disastrous results. (Who would have thought galloping over the plains would be so punishing?) They deliver her to the lord of Herron, who is pursuing a dangerous agenda of his own. With Corrids help, Tamana escapes, damaged and uncertain of her abilities. But she\'s convinced that Queen Maire holds the key to Brayes abduction. To retrieve him, Tamana must cross the boundaries of death itself, for the Queen has hidden Braye among the dead to keep him safe from the enemy that would destroy them all.
If you are interested in [booktitle], I would be happy to send you sample chapters, a detailed synopsis, or the complete manuscript.

You see, I step out of the office for four days and look what
I feel your pain, Dennis...and I agree that there's a danger in
having, uh, mis- and dis- information flung around. Nonetheless, I balk
at swinging over to formal moderation. I figure there are enough cool
and sage heads on the list to temper abovementioned weirdness.
That said: I agree with your take (and JR;s) on sticking promo
and screener copies in the collection... The thing that miffs me a bit,
frankly is being lambasted for sticking review copies in the collection
for which actual journal reviews have been written. For example: For a
long while I wrote reviews for Randy Pitman (I'm taking a sabbatical at
the mo). I usually received the screener as compensation. Now, these
reviews took a fair amount of time to write and, let's face it, Randy
(and others) pay little more than popcorn money for the effort. My
rationale for doing some of this work on company time was always that it
ultimately contributed stuff to the collection. Increasingly, however,
I'd get calls from distributors harpooning me for "donating" my personal
copy to the library. I know times are tough, but let's face it,
distributors benefit from the publicity that reviews afford, too.
OK. End of rant.

Ah, so this is what Jessica was ranting to me about this

why Jed is wrong -- and I'm being a gentleman here. J, let's see if
Shecky can get it on Letterman tonight. ;-)
1) It's ridiculous to claim first sale doctrine WHEN YOU
2) Preview copies are meant just that way -- they're for
preview. Not for any other use. If the studios wanted free advertising
as suggested, they'd send DVDs to every person and library in the
country and avoid that messy profit and loss thing. Maybe I should have
taken that Lexus home that I test drove yesterday -- neighbors will like
it and buy one! (Note to those who don't know me -- I didn't ACTUALLY
test-drive a Lexus yesterday -- I'm still driving my 1994 Saturn...)
3) I strongly resent the concept that corporations are
meant to be ripped off and it's morally justified. It's a blanket
license to steal -- and frankly, there are companies on the listserv
that can't afford such theft. If Jed thinks this is a good idea, I
suggest he keeps his front door unlocked and welcome all comers. After
all, someone might like his television set and actually buy one...
4) Libraries are supposed to support the arts. Whether
you purchase Terminator 3 or I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, it encourages more
DVDs like that. (So PLEASE, buy the latter!)
5-10) As a consumer, a distributor and a DVD Awards
judge who gets 100s of previews (I store them after I'm done with them),
I still find what was suggested legally, morally, ethically,
subjectively and objectively WRONG!=20
I know that the library is just asking a simple question
and this is not directed at that person. I don't think that if given a
book by a publisher because they thought that librarian would like a
preview that it would actually end up on a shelf. Maybe I'm starting to
rant because I'm actually listening to our new score for "The Wrath of
the Gods" and it's inspiring me to feel petulant.
Frankly, I would ask Gary (and I'm so sorry to say
this!) to consider having this listserv moderated. There are too many
things that are advised here that can get people arrested or fired.

Aren't MMO RPG more or less adventure games. If you care so much about fighting why bother making it RPG, it's kind of contradicting since in a RPG you would want X high level to beat Y low level; it's one of the big key elements in the game, and powers about everything.
If anyone can defeat the ultimate monster at level 1, what's the point of it all?
As for potion spamming; DOMO doesn't seem to have powerful enough potions, thus I find point and click on any boss suicide. (I still beat'em, I just have to be careful and evasive) What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't make it sound like all RPG (especially MMOs) have potion spam and point and click battles like in your average single-player RPG.
(BTW, how are you going to bind all of those to just a few keys; what you described sounds awfully complicated)

Do you know what PVP is? It stands for player versus player. I said that you would be equally matched to your opponent in THOSE FIGHTS. And there is NOTHING WRONG with an RPG that has action.
As for the keys, I'll make an example.
This is only in battles:
WSAD = movement
Space Bar = jump
Ctrl = crouch/dodge
Shift = switch to mouse cursor (in order to point at HUD buttons)
Move Mouse = move camera/look (when Shift is held down, you move the cursor)
Left Mouse Button = left hand weapon/shield
Right Mouse Button = right hand weapon/shield

Combo breaking, any other anime MMORPGs anyone can recommend? I don't mind if it's in Japanese (hell even Chinese will do, though chatting in that's gonna kill... hate. pinyin.), no Korean though. Oh, also no to side-scroll ones. (LaTale, I'm talking about you.)

To be honest, i skipped a lot of that text above, so, i'm not sure if you got this one already...
This is a game with unbeliviable graphics and nice gameplay, it even runs smoothly.
The best thing in the game is that you can do all jobs on one character and combine them, as in using part of the job skills as "subs" on your main job... I hope you try it.
It's called DOMO and you can find it just by googling the word, it stands out for Dream Of Mirror Online.
Another game would be Fiesta, i played that a while too...
Anyway, i'm giving you just the names i bet you can find more info on the homepages of the games.
Then, there's a private server running Ragnarok 2, the open beta.
The server is, like I said, private, european... And, it's like the beta version of open beta, so it's really open. You should check it out just for the graphics. Try Euphro2 in your google.
And one more thing, if you're interested in DOMO, you should check out the proper game version for your continent, like if youre from europe there's a different game version from different publisher, cause Aeria Games is a US product and banned many countries that have their own versions from their servers.
I like anime-style games myself, just for the graphics, they are usually so much better than the usual MMO style... So, if anyone came up with any anime-3d mmo, just list it here so we can all enjoy it.

Or getting Icebolt charged so you could hit the enemy so then you could counter...
Again. Mabinogi has the closest thing to a real-time battle system. The only reason it needs 'charge ups' to defend and 'cooldowns' is because without them battles would just be this:
Counter, counter, counter, counter, etc. etc.
And taking the hit is never an option. Endgame enemies will usually kill you in a single hit.
And yes. If you hammer the attack button you're doin' it wrong. Plus you CAN combo. But it only works ify ou deal enough damage to flinch the enemy. All you do is (i.e. using a Bastard Sword a 2hit weapon) is hit them ONCE. Wait until you stop spinning the sword then 2 hit them. Bam. You just got 3 hits in with a 2 hit weapon.
Same with a 3 hit only hit them twice then wait; then hit 3 times. 5 hits with a 3 hit weapon. And when dual wielding comes out? You can get in like... 10 hits?

Never bother using Windmill. >_> I only change to close combat if situation calls for it. xD *like bows* (That, and the fact that I level my music skills... So yea. *uses magic skills too*)

No developers ever thinking of making an MMORPG with a non-click-and-watch battle system leaves me in despair.
But then again, developers who make MMORPGs are the kind that didn't like action games anyway... I can never expect my wishes to be granted at this rate.

Also, MapleStory really can't be compared to anything. All I know right now is that Rusty Hearts isn't a click-based game, which sparked my interest, and you can deal some badass flashy combos.
An MMORPG with action has finally arrived. Apparently, when you do quests, it becomes the hack and slash-styled gameplay you saw. When you're not doing quests, it's normal. Just a theory.
The thing that sucks is that they're still developing and only planning betas and the release for Korea. I wish MMOs could do worldwide releases.

No kriss didn't, the board automatically discards any BB Code that's invalid. (Like, if you just put up empty IMG codes, it'll be taken out in the final post.)
The code is youtube. Play around with it.
MapleStory wasn't really a click-based game too, other than the dialogs. So as far as I'm concerned, MapleStory = action. I don't really remember the controls 'cause it's been years, but I don't recall clicking to attack in that game. (Also remember fingers being tired from playing that game, so yea.)
Worldwide release requires money. A lot. Unless you're a company that can be compared to Blizzard, then no. Want to sponser them? Go right ahead. To this day I'm still amazed at the fact that Gravity was able to pull an international release of Ragnarok Online back in 2002. (Even though initially it was hosted back in Korea and it lags like hell...)

And what are you talking about? Every MMORPG I play has action. Maybe just none that seems to suit you... I mean point and click action isn't very fun but I find Mabinogi to be very action-paced. Slip up for a second and you'll die.

This game is still in development anyway so we can't be sure how the game will be like.
There are many other MMORPGs with combo-attack battle being developed in Korea right now. Some are already released. Korea is the leader in MMOs, and everyone else is a generation behind, since it takes them years to get their old games over here while they're making the next best thing.
There's "Warlords", a Dynasty Warriors-styled MMORPG with the ancient China setting and hundreds of enemies at a time, "Ghost X", a purely manga-styled MMORPG dealing with ghosts and demons, and slaying them with your own ghosts and demons which transform into weapons, and many others. You can't even Google these and find much information. Just go to the website that had info on Rusty Hearts and lurk there.
Also, Tube vids.

Rusty Hearts looks very neat and I agree that it has a Devil May Cry feel to it, but I think it'd get boring very quickly. Consider this: how much time have you spent playing Devil May Cry as opposed to a standard RPG? The game lengths are different, but even counting replay on DMC due to difficulty settings and fun factor the average RPG is well ahead. And when I compare my hours logged on an average RPG to hours logged on Ultima Online (old-school MMORPG), there's no contest: I easily put 10 to 12 times the number of hours into Ultima Online. Ah, I had a lot of free time back then...
When I look at modern MMORPGs, I feel like the focus has changed. They're fun for a while, but they're incredibly limited. Some Korean MMO companies seem to produce games like crazy (I'm specifically thinking of Gung Ho) - it's as if they know that people will play for a few months and then switch to something new.
Ultima Online was a completely immersive experience. Dungeons were places in the world where monsters spawned (and they looked dungeon-y), but they were a regular part of the world - you could run in and run to the end and then run back out, unless a monster beat you down. Quests were run by real game masters. You could cook, buy a house, make/join a guild... my personal favorite activity was to explore the vast world, taming animals and monsters. When I made enough money from selling what I'd tamed to other players, I bought a boat and explored islands. Still others got into blacksmithing (crafting armor and weapons, among other things); this required different types of ore, which had to be mined. Certain parts of the world yielded rare ores more often, but your character also had to have enough mining skill to get them in good quantities and smelt them properly. It was too addictive - I won't ever play an MMORPG like that again.
I compare that with newer MMORPGs and it's totally different. For example, I played Yogurting for a bit (mostly to practice Japanese) and it was extremely limited. The main world consisted of two school campuses and a sewer (dungeon-type level) that connected them. The main world was essentially a big 3D chatroom. There were "portals" scattered around the world that contained missions/levels, and in there the goal was almost always to beat up all the monsters. There were a few boss missions to keep it interesting, but otherwise that was it. No specialized weapon classes (there were different weapon types, but you could use any of them without penalty), no ability to make anything yourself. It's a gross oversimplication of the game, but it doesn't diminish my point. I've seen people play World of Warcraft and sort of got the feeling that it was somewhat similar, although WoW was a bit more immersive.

Great poet and World War II traitor Ezra Pound is the subject of Sallie Binghams Treason, now at the Perry Street Theater.
Poet in a cage, long before Guantánamo
By Jerry Tallmer
In the opening moments of a play called Treason, the poet Ezra Pound, dressed flamboyantly in cape, sombrero, flowing cravat, and ruffled shirt, speaks into a microphone at a broadcast studio in Rome in 1941. Kike Rosenfelt, he exclaims, that snotty barbarian
If ever a nation produced efficient democracy it has been in Germany
Eliminate Roosevelt and his Jews, or the Jews and their Roosevelt
In the middle of the play called Treason, Pound, now at St. Elizabeths Hospital for the Insane in Alexandria, Virginia, is visited in 1955 by a young American agitator named John Kasper, who does Pound one better with: This aint about poetry, Pops, this is about the Mission: Cleansing the Anglo-Saxon race of befouling elements Nigs, Yids, and the rest of the gutter trash. Write that, Pops!
In the closing moments of Sallie Binghams Treason, Ezra Pound toward the end of his long life (1885-1972) is visited in his hidden nest in Venice by an American poet named Allen Ginsberg, then in his 40s, who comes bearing books, records, and flowers.
Allen puts on, for the old mans benefit, the Beatles singing Yellow Submarine. As Olga Rudge, Pounds lifelong mistress, starts to shoo the visitor out so Pound can rest, the writer of Howl says to the man who, traitor or otherwise, shaped the course of modern poetry in the English language: Your Cantos are enormously important to me and extends a hand to shake farewell. My worst mistake, Ezra Pound grunts to Allen Ginsberg, was that stupid suburban prejudice of anti-Semitism spoiled everything.
Did he really say that? Apologize like that? Well, says Sallie Bingham, here in New York for the opening of Treason at the Perry Street Theatre, according to Allen Ginsberg he did.
But Allen, said a journalist who had known him, was an extremely generous man.
An extremely generous man, playwright Bingham agreed. So he may have hoped Ezra said that. It is crucial; its the only bit of remorse Ezra ever expressed, if he did express it.
Wheels within wheels within wheels. On page 28 of one draft of the script of Treason Thereve been at least ten drafts, says the playwright Ezra Pound, a prisoner of the U.S. Army in a cage in Pisa, Italy, where Pound faces the prospect of execution for treason, says to his jailor, Sgt. Paul Whiteside, a black American as irony would have it: Do you favor putting men in cages, Whiteside?
Alongside which, the reading journalist has scribbled one word: Guantánamo!
What made me want to write this play? says Sallie Bingham. When we got into the Iraq War, and started putting people in iron cages, it seemed such a connection to Ezra.
You know, in those broadcasts from Rome he believed he was only doing his duty as an American citizen. What polluted it was he was such an anti-Semite. The rantings and ravings of a madman. How do you divide these things?
Pounds Pisan Cantos may have been enormously important to Allen Ginsberg, but to Sallie Bingham, today, they are almost unreadable, and not only to her. But without Pound, as mentor and dross-remover, there would be no Yeats, no T.S. Eliot, no Robert Frost, no William Carlos Williams, no dozens of others as we know them today, no Ernest Hemingway even. And no H.D.
H.D. was Hilda Doolittle, the poet who, when they were teenagers outside Philadelphia, was one of Ezra Pounds first romances a romance she wrote about years later in End to Torment and it was an interest in H.D. that led novelist and short-story writer Sallie Bingham to an interest in Pound.
In Pound and in his many betrayals of his wife, his mistress, his daughter, various other women, and his country, and his talent.
Wife Dorothy Shakespeare Pound, mistress Olga Rudge, daughter Mary Rudge, interim priapic rejuvenator Sherri Martinelli, interim priapic rejuvenator Marcella Spann, Dr. Overholser the St. Elizabeths shrink, Sgt. Whiteside the keeper of the cage, John Kasper the vicious nutcake, Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux the nutcake evangelist, poet Allen Ginsberg, and Pound himself theyre all here and in fine, passionate fettle, even if the endearment that Ezra and Dorothys keep tossing back and forth, one to the other an inexplicable Mao that must surely have nothing to do with China may drive you gaga.
We dont know where they got that, or why, or what it referred to, says Ms. Bingham. We do know that Ezra Pound, lover of many women, firmly believed a female is a chaos.
The actors, under the direction of Martin Platt, cofounder with Ms. Bingham of Santa Fe (New Mexico) Stages, are Jennifer Sternberg as Dorothy, Niccole Orth Pallavicini (Olga), Rachel Fowler (daughter Mary), Kathleen Early (Sherri), Mary Bacon (Marcella), Peter van Wagner (Overholser), Damon Gupton (Whiteside/Michaux), David Heuvelman (Kasper/Ginsberg rather clever casting), and, the ne plus ultra, Philip Pleasants as Ezra Pound.
It was Pleasants the Pound of a reading in Santa Fe in 1999 and another at the Womens Project here in 2002 for whose availability the Perry Street production had to wait from last fall until now.
Wheels within wheels within wheels.
Two of Treasons characters, John Kasper and Sherri Martinelli, were once, back in the 50s, rather well-known presences in Greenwich Village. Not to mention Ginsberg, of course. Matter of fact, Kasper for a while ran a bookstore of sorts on Bleecker Street.
I knew about John Kasper, says Sallie Bingham, before I knew about Ezra. I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky, where Kasper gave a speech against integration of the schools just after the Supreme Courts 1952 decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Niggers have tails all that stuff. It was a very inflammatory speech, and this whole mass of people marched
to the Louisville Courrier-Journal and smashed the newspapers windows.
Well, that was my familys newspaper.
It was indeed. Sallie Binghams father was Barry Bingham, famed editor of that newspaper a good old liberal Southern newspaperman
In 1952 I would have been 15, says Barry Binghams daughter (who today has three grown sons of her own). So of course all that made a terrific impression on me. When John Kasper suddenly came back into the Ezra story, it was eerie.
When iron cages come back into democracys story, thats eerie too.
TREASON. By Sallie Bingham. Directed by Martin Platt. Through July 29 at the Perry Street Theatre, 31 Perry Street, (212) 868-4444.
NOTE: Something went wrong in this writers head in last weeks piece on the landmarking of artist Al Hirschbergs house uptown. It isnt Lou Gehrig whose name is on a plaque on a building on Barrow Street. Its Hank Greenberg, who once lived there. Oy vey and me an anti-Yankee from way back.

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Las Vegas police said they were looking for a California man suspected of stealing $1.6 million in chips this month from the Venetian Casino.
Akingide Cole, 31, of Palmdale has been identified as the man captured on security video Oct. 10 taking a number of high-denomination chips from a closed part of the casino, KVVU-TV, Las Vegas, reported Monday.
Police said the thief pried open a case containing the chips with a tool he might have taken from a private employee area.
"Anybody that comes back to the casino to try and cash the chips in or tried to play with them will be met by security," said Lt. Robert Duvall of the Las Vegas police's Tourist Crimes Unit.
Police described Cole as a light-skinned black man, about 6 feet tall and weighing 225 pounds. They released a booking photo of him from a previous arrest.

- Ninety-four percent of U.S. adults would avoid a business in the future if they encounter a dirty restroom -
CINCINNATI— A recent Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS) telephone survey conducted by Harris Interactive® among more than 1,000 U.S. adults ages 18 and older, revealed that 94 percent of U.S. adults would avoid a business in the future if they encountered dirty restrooms.
"Dirty restrooms cost businesses lost sales, customers, referrals and repeat business," said Mike Thompson, Senior Vice President, Cintas Facility Services. "This study reaffirms that if customers are not satisfied with the state of a restroom, they will take their business elsewhere."
When asked what specific types of businesses they would avoid if they encountered dirty restrooms, U.S. adults reported the following:
• Restaurants - 79 percent
• Hotels - 79 percent
• Healthcare Facilities - 77 percent
• Supermarkets - 50 percent
• Retail Stores - 45 percent
• Gas Stations - 45 percent
• Car Dealerships - 39 percent
"To satisfy customers, businesses must ensure restrooms are consistently stocked, clean, dry and functioning," explained Dave Mesko, Senior Director of Marketing, Cintas. "Partnering with Cintas for a restroom cleaning and maintenance program enables businesses to improve cleanliness and customer satisfaction."

So, why is the outcome of Red Hat's next tangle with Acacia being kept secret, and how is a Texas court helping to keep it that way? Could the outcome have placed Red Hat in violation of the open-source licenses on its own product?"

Happy Birth Day Sir Elon! It is a good day to die...on Mars!
I remember during my first 200 mile long-distance drive, I got emotional and wanted to give Elon a big hug! Wait, I'm a guy and we are not supposed to get emotional....This car is such a life changer. Enjoy your vacation and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELON!!!!
Happy Birthday to Elon!!
He has accomplished so much in only 42 years of life. I cannot imagine what the next 42 years have in store.
By the way, Jackie and Phil: thanks for starting this post!!
Hey it's my Birthday today.
Cool same birthday as Elon.
Happy Birthday!

Elon, Happy Birthday! Live long and prosper!

Happy Birthday, Superman!
I not look up to many, but you are definitely one of those whom I look up to.

Happy Birthday Elon!
Stay strong, you make a difference!
Greetings from Norway
Have a Universalicious Birthday, Elon!
(Usually I wish people a Photolicious birthday or a Modelicious birthday or whatever, but I can't fit you in a single category :) ).
Happy Birthday, real iron man!
Hapy Birthday to Elon..May you continue to disrupt many indisutries in the future just like Tesla, SpaceX and Solar City!!!! You're making the world a better place for all! Here's to another 42 years!!
Happy, Healthy Birthday Elon.
Thank You for your gift of
Brilliance and Perseverance
to all of us all over the world.
Happy birthday! Our hero.
Long live Elon!
Elon, yes Happy happy birthday. I might be late to the party lol, but here goes anyway.
Thanks for everything chum!
Yes. Happy Birthday, Elon! I am truly grateful for all that you have done and all you are doing. You have given me a hope and a passion that was missing just one year ago before I know of Tesla Motors and the electric car revolution that you are leading!
Yours is a birth to celebrate. Keep your moral compass; you probably cannot conceive of the number of lives you've touched. I can't wait to see what the future holds: electric cars predominate, solar power is possible for all, travel to Mars becomes a reality, hyperloops take us wherever we want to go...
You have done so much good for this planet and all life that inhabits it. I think you will have touched more lives than anyone else living or dead; and that is only looking at only your resuscitation and revolution of electric vehicles. I love you for that (and for your quirky sense of humor!) I wish you health and happiness.
Thank you Elon for showing us human kind still has hope. Happy birthday.
Thanx for the fish! (42)
Happy Birthday Elon! Your vision for the future is truly inspiring. My 15 year old son actually tweets quotes from you...he's a big believer!
Happy Birthday Elon!
Great job on everything!
Chuck and Jennifer Lusin
Happy birthday Elon. You're my only modern day hero! Thanks for having the vision and determination to change the world! And thanks for remaining approachable and not letting the wild success change who you are :)
Happy birthday!
It's the least we can say when you've changed our lives for the better, and are working to change our world for the better. There are few with the foresight, the fortitude, and the perseverance who can truly change the world!
Have a great day!
Happy Birthday Elon - I'll never forget your birthday as it is shared with my daughter who turned 15 today!
Thank you for changing our life in many ways.
Hope your day is as special as every day ours is in our Model S. Happy Birthday Elon!
Choots Humphries
Happy Birthday, Elon! And cheers to all the sentiments posted thus far. Not only are you changing the planet, but also our lives. Please, keep fighting the good fight!
Happy Birthday Elon, thank you for being passionate about your vision and hanging in there a few years ago when Tesla needed money to get through the tough times. Congratulations for all you have done so far and to many more prosperous and wonderous years ahead. Cheers!
Happy Day Elon,
Thank you for changing our world
Let them eat their oil, we will enjoy the cake!
Have a SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSuper day
Thanks for making a huge difference! Happy Birthday!
We here on the planet thank you and wish you a very green Birthday!
Happy birthday Elon!
Raise my glass to your and yours health, and for your continued success. To many many more.
Regards from Spain,

Happy Birthday Mr. Elon Musk! You are the Thomas Edison or rather the Nikola Tesla of the 21st century. Thank you for your leadership, vision, courage and fortitude. You have created several incredible companies. But Tesla and SpaceX now provide you with loyal fans, devoted owners, soon to be owners and wannabe owners. I do not think I speak out of turn in saying that we would all stand with you to make our future a better place.
Happy birthday Elon!
Happy Birthday Elon!!! I hope you you had a great day, and remember to get some sleep!!!! Thanks again for creating Tesla !
May your Birthday be filled with Tesla Grins that are as big as ours. Thank you so much for all you have done for us.
Sig 909
Have a wonderful birthday Elon. We are loving are Teslas, thank you so much for making our dreams come true.
Thank You for never giving up!! Watching Revenge of the Electric Car gave me a tiny glimpse into the kinds of hardships you've faced to keep Tesla alive. Wow! I am so grateful for all your hard work!
I hope your birthday was filled with all the things that make you smile! !
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday, and thank you.
Happy Birthday Elon, All the best to you. Thank you for such a wonderful car! Keep bringing your best forward?
Happy Birthday from Rwanda Elon. You're the BEST!
Happy Bithday Elon. Your vision of an EV revolution and solar powered world give me hope, that we may yet be able to make progress on Climate Change. Thanks for your leadership on these issues. You are my hero!
Thank you for saving us and the planet. No pressure, right?
We hope you live for another 142 years. The planet needs you.
Thank you Superman. Happy Birthday.
Happy B-day Elon! :)
Thank you for thinking outside the box and allowing us to participate in a small way in your vision of the future.

Heidi Klum is proving to be a force to be reckoned with, especially when it comes to men.
After getting dragged into Donald Trump's election drama this week when the Republican presidential nominee hopeful said the former Victoria'a Secret model is not "a 10" anymore in a New York Times interview, Klum took on "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon during a game of Box of Lies.
The recurring game consists of mystery boxes with bizarre items inside. A player chooses a box and then opens it out of the opponents view. They must then describe the contents of their box and the other player has to guess whether they are telling the truth or lying.
Klum's lying abilities were tested first when she pulled out a small bathtub filled with mini bottles of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey. The "Project Runway" host began describing a sort of "butterfly box" with chewed up gum stick on top," but Fallon didn't seem convinced.
"That's a lie," he said.
"Are you sure?" Klum responded, in an attempt to throw off her opponent.
Luckily for Fallon, he was sure. The reality show host then suggested they drink some of the whiskey and proceeded to down a bottle of Fireball, shaming Fallon who took a sip and quivered.
"Your my, your my best friend," the funny man slurred in a drunk voice.
Maybe it was the alcohol, but Fallon proved to be a bad fibber. On his turn, he claimed to have a Jello mold full of Justin Bieber heads, which Klum instantaneously — and correctly — called a lie.
The German model chose the last box, which contained a patch of moss with a pair of plastic lips on top. Unable to contain himself from making a joke about the double entendre, Fallon reminded Klum that the late night show airs "at a certain time."
"Moss with lips on it?" Fallon doubted, but then added, "Your telling the truth!"
It was the truth. Fallon picked up a second point and won the game.
Earlier in the show, Klum talked about winning kudos with her four kids after Taylor Swift personally invited them to her concert and revealed who her favorite act is this season on "America's Got Talent."
"Next week you guys definitely have to watch [the show] because my favorite act is on," the "AGT" judge said. "It's the Regurgitator. He eats all these things and throws them back up."
The 10th season of "America's Got Talent" airs Wednesday's on NBC at 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT).


text: For the umpteenth time, Glenn Beck has delivered another idiotic rant about how he's just such a huge threat to the powers that be that they are going to try to destroy him. I find this greatly amusing. If you read wingnut sites, as I do, you'll notice that virtually every ad that appears on them uses the "the government doesn't want you to know this" line to get people interested. This is not a coincidence.

The Owner
Suzanna Bierwirth's Lincoln Park home is chock-full of lessons in easy elegance. Thanks to dramatic colors and artful arrangements, the tiny row house makes a grand statement.
Suzanna is a Chicago-based freelance creative director and cofounder of the design company Binth. Mirrored pieces add a dash of majesty, even when put to mundane use. The entryway bureau (right) illuminates a dark space and holds "all you need when you leave the house, from keys to shoes," says Suzanna.
2 of 12
The Space
The 1879 three-story home that Suzanna shares with her 10-year-old son, Jarek, has just 500 square feet or so per floor. Yet she has turned it into a sophisticated showpiece that feels anything but confined.
3 of 12
Making an Entrance
Suzanna scored the coatrack at a local architectural salvage store. "It's made of old shoe forms and looks so organic and cool."
4 of 12
Playing with Fire
"I fell in love with the house because of the fireplace," says Suzanna. Still lifes like this, centered around a bug poster given by a friend, are always evolving. "I've started to get into maritime stuff, hence these urchin tea candles." She groups pieces by color or theme, and then weeds ruthlessly. "Just keep whittling," she advises.
5 of 12
Lounge Act
"With this square footage, I had to choose either a living or a dining room," says Suzanna. She opted for the latter, reasoning that the best conversations and parties always take place in the kitchen and dining areas. So this velvet settee between the rooms is where Jarek and the family dog, Dude, kick back while Mom cooks. The Binth "Cuddle" pillows are designed to appeal to both children and adults. "When you have kids, you shouldn't have to separate their things from yours."

Fine Dining Room
See-through Lucite chairs and an airy chandelier don't cramp the style of the heavy oak Stickley table. "When you have a small space, you need to create one focal point per room," says Suzanna. "I like mixing antique and modern because things stand out more when styles are contrasted."
7 of 12
Kitchen Whites
To achieve a feeling of openness, Suzanna washed the kitchen in a clean, pale palette.
8 of 12
Quirky Touches
In the kitchen, she layered in subtle touches of color and odd, whimsical objects -- like a cast polyester resin piggy bank and surreal salt-and-pepper shakers -- that a busier room would swallow up. "At first you think it's all very elegant, and then the details sink in," she says. "You see things like the hamster cookie jar, which is just ridiculous. That's why I love it."
9 of 12
Bed, Bath, Beyond
In Suzanna's bedroom, her fixation is in full flower with a pair of futuristic-yet-organic spots.
Get the look with Martha Stewart Living Paint Color in Francesca at the Home Depot.
10 of 12
Bed, Bath, Beyond
In the bathroom, an ornate French chandelier that Suzanna won on eBay (for a mere $200) both matches and mocks the space's serious design. "I went with a black-and-white color scheme be-cause it's true to the period of the house," she says, "but it's all done with a wink." Hot pink accents further jazz up the bathroom's look, but they could easily be changed out for yellow or green, she notes. "When I'm decorating, I do whatever makes me smile."

Office Ours
In the basement, a desk along one wall lets Suzanna and son work elbow to elbow -- they recently collaborated on a greeting-card line for Binth. Her grown-up business partner, Peter Dunham, designed the desk and coffee table.
12 of 12
All Grown Up
Another doodling station in Jarek's room adheres to Suzanna's belief in all-ages furniture: He can pull up an Eames chair whenever the pencil calls.

The 2nd Womble wrote:Correction: that little man in my head tells me "I must wait until I can
I agree with womble. When I am driving my car, I come across lots of situations where it is unsafe to overtake a slower vehicle. A slower vechicle might be a bus, truck, van, older car or cyclist. Impediments to overtaking might be trees, medians, traffic calming, oncoming traffic or visibility. In those situations I simply travel behind the slow vehicle until safe to overtake. It is my imperative to drive safely and obey the road laws at all times. It is not my imperative to be in front of a slower vehicle at any cost. As mentioned above, it's not rocket surgery. As a side note, I am most often required to travel at a speed that is less than the speed limit by buses and not by cyclists.

Ten Tips For Better Running
We become adults and life seems to get pretty complicated. Running, which was such a simple pursuit when we were kids, is suddenly seen as rocket science. The following list is the culmination of 25 years of running, coaching and study. Practice these tips and you'll be back running with the joy of a kid!
1 - Find Joy
There is so much to love about running. Create the conditions that result in running bringing more happiness to your life. Run with friends, run alone, run with music, run in silence. Make it personal.
2 - Start Smart
Be they a new runner or one starting a new season, so often the major mistake is made with the very first steps: doing too much too soon. There's no joy in running if you can't run so, don't get injured. Your primary goal should be FIFE: finish injury free everyday. For your first run, choose a distance you think you can do without being sore, then only do half of it. Next, see how you're feeling the next day. If you're fine, then build from there, adding no more than 10% distance to any run or to your overall weekly mileage.
3 - Follow the Path of the JETI
Technology has conditioned us to expect results now. Your body doesn't work that way. You need to send a message through training that it needs to grow a little stronger. Then, through rest and proper nutrition, your body rebuilds, allowing you to run a little further or a little faster. If you increase the workload (distance, speed) too much, your body will be overwhelmed which often results in injury or excess fatigue. When choosing how much to increase from run to run, remember to do Just Enough To Improve. This will help you to achieve the key to success: consistency.
4 - Stretch
Many runners keep seeing the same running injuries popping up, and they are usually avoidable. Excess tightness in certain running muscles, the gluts especially, leads to the body to move in inefficient patterns, and injuries can often happen as a result of this compensation. Remember, a 5k run will see you hitting the ground close to 5000 times! 5000 repeats of a motion the body isn't built for is a good way to get injured. Make sure your muscles are loose and your body is able to function the way it was meant to by properly stretching after your run.
5 - Maintain Cadence
Cadence refers to the rate at which your feet hit the ground. When you learn to run with shorter, quicker strides, your body will spend less time in the air meaning there is less impact each time you land. By bringing the foot down more quickly you will also avoid over-striding, which results in a small but measurable braking effect each time you land. A great cadence target for the recreational runner is 90 strikes per minute per foot, or 22-24 in 15 seconds. At this rate you can run at any speed; the difference then lay in your stride length.
6 - Present Perfect Posture
You don't just run with your legs. In order for your body to run efficiently, it must be well-aligned from top to bottom (actually, right past the bottom, all the way to the feet:) With your head up, shoulders relaxed, and leading with a proud chest, you will leave your upper body working as one with the legs and not working against them. Add to that arms that are bent to approximately 90 degrees, and avoiding swinging across the body, and you will be on your way.
7 - Change Your Pace
Recreational runners often train at the same pace every time they go out the door then wonder why they have plateaued. Slow down on your long run; you don't have to go fast to get all of the benefits of this workout. Stay at a conversational pace. With the extra energy you saved by going easy on the long run, take one of your other weekly runs and slowly build a section of it in which the intensity is hard but sustainable. This will give you huge fitness gains, teach your body to run fast, and you will find that, when you slow down to your goal race pace, it will feel easier. Goodbye plateau, hello personal best.
8 - Rest Before You Race
So simply, yet so hard. The big race is a few days out and you're nervous so you go out and do a long run just to reassure yourself that you can do it. Then, on race day: disappointment. Remember, your body needs to recover in order to get fitter. It can take over 7 days for a body to fully rebuild after a workout. This means that any hard run within 7 days (longer for longer races) of a race will only hurt you. Leading up to the race, maintain the frequency of your runs but keep the workload easy. If you have a 'race pace', include some short accelerations to keep the legs tuned up, but otherwise enjoy the nervous anxiety I call taper madness.
9 - Refrain, Sustain, Freight Train
The gun goes off and like the empty smoke exploding from it's barrel, you take off like a sprinter. Don't get sucked in by the adrenaline; pace yourself. For the first third of the race, when you are fresh and excited, the challenge is to hold back or REFRAIN and stick with you goal race pace. This is not easy. The second third is all about being steady and able to MAINTAIN goal pace. The final third is where the race really begins. Here is where you see what is inside you and I'm not talking physically. The final third, it's time to dig deep and run like a FREIGHT TRAIN (your body follows your brain so I like the imagery), and push to the finish.
10 - Give Thanks
As you cross your finish line, take a moment to give thanks for being blessed with the good health to allow you to do so. We are so lucky to be able to celebrate the joy of running.

Larry Lessig's Anti-SuperPAC SuperPAC Already Halfway To $1 Million Initial Target
from the into-orbit,-next-stop,-the-moon dept
Anyway, the first stage of the test flight is just to get to that $1 million mark, and it's worth noting that here we are on May 6th, just five days into the effort, and the MAYDAY Citizens' SuperPAC is already more than halfway to its goal. That is, they've already hit the $500,000 mark less than a week into the effort. Will that be enough to hit both of the 2014 goals? That's tough to say, but as an initial effort, it sure seems like a very nice start, and almost certainly goes way beyond what many people expected would happen. Still, this is just the start. A moonshot is inherently risky, but the first week has been tremendously encouraging.

Tequila-Fired Chicken Fajitas
Source: Chevys Fresh Mex, Cypress, CA-based
Casual-dining chain Chevys was one of the originators of sizzling fajitas. When a platter is brought to the table, the fajitas still attract a lot of attention. For this rendition, the chicken is marinated in tequila and served with an "open-face" tamale.
6 oz. tequila-marinated chicken breast
1/4 oz. achiote marinade
6 oz. cooked, sliced habanero onions*
1 oz. mango-habanero salsa
Cilantro sprig, for garnish
1 corn husk
1 1/2 oz. sweet corn tamalito
1/2 oz. tequila gold
3 flour tortillas
Cooked rice and black beans
- Grill tequila marinated chicken breast on both sides to 165°F to ensure nice grill marks. Brush both sides with achiote marinade.
- On clean, hot sizzle platter, place habanero onions end to end. Slice chicken breast against the grain on the bias; spread it across onions. Top with mango salsa and cilantro sprig.
- For service, place corn husk on platter and fill with tamalito (corn meal mush). At tableside, pour tequila into sizzle platter on one side of onions; light tequila to flame. Serve fajita platter with tortillas, rice and beans.
*Cook sliced onions with a few drops habanero chile sauce in oil until tender.

The Characters:
Commander Jack Rankin - This guy wouldn't stop smiling if a rabid weasel was in his shorts; he would just grin and give you a thumbs up.
Commander Vince Elliott - In charge of the space station and not very happy Rankin is senior to him. A rash man who gives one Green Slime a hug. (That means he dies.)
Lisa Benson - Woman torn between loving Rankin and Elliott.
Dr. Halvorsen - Head researcher aboard the space station, he gets seriously fried.
General Jonathan Thompson - Gruff senior officer, his main role in this movie is sweating.
Captain Martin - Elliott's right hand man, for some reason he looks natural in a white motorcycle helmet.
The Green Slime - Alien life form which feeds on energy and even a single drop of blood can regenerate into new creatures. Incinerated.
The Plot:
Packing more goofy models and props than most Godzilla films comes this lovely piece of b-cinema.
I still want to know who starched Commander Rankin's face while he was smiling, either the guy is a loon or he's on some serious happy pills. Prozac boy gets things done though; when you have a rogue asteroid hurtling toward Earth he's the man to call. (Not Bruce Willis, mind you.)
When the astronauts land to place their bombs they find the asteroid is inhabited by strange blobs of glowing slime that are drawn to the equipment. After blasting off and barely escaping the massive explosion (Imagine an orange and brown papier mache' ball with half a stick of dynamite inside and you're golden.) the heroes return to Space Station Gamma 3.
Unfortunately, for everyone, some of the slime was carried back on a space suit. It soon evolves into a tentacled creature! So the thing kinda looks like Sigmund the Sea Monster - he never fried anyone with several thousand volts of electricity. (Yes, I know it's the amps that get you.) This gives a nice excuse for Elliott and Rankin to have a power struggle over who is in charge, the latter a firm believer in "shoot first ask questions later."
Another unfortunate fact about Green Slime: even a single drop of blood will grow into a new monster. So now you have dozens of pissed off Sigmunds running around electrocuting the crew, good job Rankin.
In the end humanity is saved by crashing Gamma 3 into Earth's atmosphere, incinerating the Green Slime. Thank goodness something stopped them besides THROWING your laser rifle. The characters often unload at point blank range without effect. Soon as they throw the weapon it goes right through the monster's eye. Even if you don't like watching "spacemen" wearing white 1960's police motorcycle helmets firing "laser guns" at waddling masses of latex monsters you have to love the title song.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
Asteroids look like a Gobstopper which has been under the refrigerator for ten years.
Movies are less interesting from a phone's objective.
Pulsing green muck plays heck with interstellar golf carts.
People can stand up and walk around while experiencing ten G's.
Never let a bitter exgirlfriend tend your wound.
Alien life is best represented by green soap suds.
Space station security guards wear white motorcycle helmets with a little space symbol on them.
Golf carts are not four wheel drive.
Laser rifles work better as spears.
Never hug an ungrounded Green Slime.
Stuff To Watch For:
2 mins - Nice miniatures, ahm.
13 mins - For some reason this scene is making me horny.
25 mins - Bad dubbing!
48 mins - White motorcycle helmets?
64 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST A FLASHLIGHT!
70 mins - The explosion took out half of the model space station, but not that flimsy door?
75 mins - Elliott could use some boxing lessons.
83 mins - Jack, I'm going to kick your smiling self in the testicles. What do you think of that?
Audio clips in wav format
Starving actors speak out
Elliott: "Now, since that's the way it is, let's be sure that's the way it is, huh?"
Rankin: "You're making a big mistake Lisa. You don't love Vince - you pity him."
Lisa: "I'm very happy with him."
Rankin: "You're lying, you love me."
Rankin: "What a minute. You mean this stuff reproduced itself inside the decontamination chamber and then as we...as we stepped up the current it just grew?"
Dr. Halvorsen: "Precisly!"
The sound a Green Slime makes.

I watched this movie when I was about 8 or so. The first time my mother brother and I tried to watch it somebody had made a loop and kept playing "the green slime" over and over for four hours. We finally saw it later and I guess my youth and the fact we waited so long to see it made it a fair movie. By todays standards it is pitiful by the standards of the time it came out it was a b-movie.

It was about twenty years or so after its release before I finally had "The Experience". My friends and I made a drinking game out of it. Everytime someone says "right" "allright" or"yessir", you take a drink. Three people can easily go through one case of beer per one viewing. I wish the soundtrack was available 'cause it freakin' rocks! Notice when Commander Rankin gets on the elevator to the rocket at the beginning of the movie.Notice the guy that goes in with him.Notice the expression on his face as he gets in behind Rankin.He's just a little too happy. When they come out, what does Rankin say? "Will see about that promotion" .Maybe a little action goin' on behind the elevator?!? I think my grandfather had a clock like the one that set off the bomb!

I first saw this movie when I was 15. Friends said it was awful; I thought it was pretty good! Then I bought it on video 20 yrs. later and it IS awful! But does anybody who's
ever heard the Attilio Mineo album Man"In Space With Sounds"
recognize the sountrack when the plastic model spaceship with lit sparklers in the tail is rushing away from the
paper -mache asteroid dangling by a wire during the exciting climax? And there's no credit given! For the second viewing this was the highlight.

I was just a kid when the local theater began handing out little metal badges, stickers, and even rubber "green slimes" all proclaiming that "The Green slime is coming" weeks before the flick showed up. My friends and I were stoked to say the least. And then it arrive, and were we disappointed? Hell no, it was great fun. Plenty of space ships, rayguns and monsters! Man, it was a more innocent time then, I tell you! Not to mention it was on as a double feature with a Chris Lee "Fu Manchu" flick that opened with a big guy chopping off someones head with an axe!Man, those were the days.....I have it on video and I think I will go put it on right now!

My father has a bit role in this movie. He's the guy when asked by the commander of UNSC Central, "Have you got that course figured out?" and MY DAD replies, "Here it is, sir!"
They got most of the actors from Tachikawa AFB, Tokyo! My dad and several other Air Force personnel were signed up to fill in for the several monitors that needed to be watched! I have 3 copies of this movie--one that was even hosted by Grandpa on TBS Scary Saturday. Now that is a dedicated son, eh?

The Green Slime was the first monster film that really stands out in my childhood memories (from the 1960s), what I recall most clearly is the creatures being prominently displayed on the cover of Famous Monsters Of Filmland, a required reading as part of growing up in 60s America itself. It was the first issue of that magazine my mother refused to buy for me, subsequently my whining and wheedling got here to take me later that week to see the movie at our local drive-in, of course it was paired up with another 'rubber monster' b-movie of which's title I have forgotten.
One last note to this story is the scene in the concession stand between films when I discovered a huge (well,larger than child-sized me at the time) stand-up lobby poster with a near life-sized Green Slime monster, this was going home with me so off I carried it to the car, the theater manager just smiled and nodded, my mother had other ideas, so with a slightly stinging butt I watched the second feature pinning over my lost treasure.

"The Green Slime" is one of those movies that must of seemed like a good idea at the time. Toyko must wonder what happened to the money they spent on effects. I still think it's a great way to kill 90min. How can you not like a movie who's star is a wax figure!! Luckly all the other bad effects,bad acting,& the last word in 60's theme songs(have airsick bag handy!!) help take some of the sting of the wax mans acting! Sit down drink up or light up and have a good time!!!!

Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
