Eight members of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture learned at a farm bill field hearing in Lubbock, Texas, what Southwest farmers and ranchers think of the ACRE and SURE programs created in the 2008 farm law.
Not much.
Committee Chairman Collin Peterson conceded that problems exist. "ACRE does not work for the entire country," he said. "We will need differences in the program between different crops. This is why we're starting field hearings early."
Panelists representing the major Southwest commodities explained the problems.
"The ACRE program has not been very attractive for cotton producers as evidenced by the sign-up," said Doyle Schniers, a cotton producer from San Angelo. "If a revenue-based approach is to gain support from cotton producers, it will need a more realistic revenue target."
"From available data on the ACRE program it is clear that in its current form the program is not an attractive alternative for cotton farmers and many other crop producers across the nation," said Brad Heffington, a Lamb County, Texas, farmer. He said the program does not provide an adequate safety net for cotton farmers compared to the marketing loan and DCP programs. He agrees that the target is too low to attract participation.
"Cotton is working to evaluate our concerns with ACRE so that a constructive dialogue on its future can be held at the appropriate time," he said. "Unfortunately, ACRE's experience so far is clear evidence that a different safety net structure, revenue-based or otherwise, will have to demonstrate clear superiority over the current combination of programs before it could be considered a viable alternative for cotton and other commodities."
"ACRE has proven to be a very complicated program," said Dee Vaughan, Dumas, Texas, corn grower. "It is difficult to explain to absentee land owners. In a state as large and diverse as Texas the statewide loss requirement trigger is a tremendous negative. The loss trigger for a geographic area must be localized, at least to the county level."
He said ACRE is even less appealing to irrigated and diversified producers. "ACRE requires that all crops on a FSA farm number be enrolled for the duration of the farm bill. Since ACRE does not work for cotton, this automatically precludes many producers from choosing this option."
He said the season average market price for determining eligibility also poses problems. "Producers making the decision on whether to enroll in ACRE by June 1 of the current year are speculating on what the markets will do for the next 15 months."
David Cleavinger, speaking for the Texas Wheat Producers Association, said ACRE is "complex and confusing. The complexity and paperwork involved with the program should be reduced and payments made to producers in a more timely manner."
"For good reason, the ACRE program has not been well received in Texas," said Billy Bob Brown, speaking for the Texas Farm Bureau. "Program provisions are simply too complicated and the reduction in program benefits is too great for many Texas producers to participate. The inability to opt out of the program in later years has also been criticized."
ACRE has little appeal for rice producers, said L.G. Raun, an El Campo, Texas, rice farmer. "Only eight rice farmers, representing less than 900 acres, were enrolled in the program nationwide."
Ronnie Holt, a Muleshoe, Texas, cotton, corn and grain farmer and chairman of the Crop Insurance Professionals Association (CIPA), said ACRE comes with too big a gamble for "some of us here in the Bible Belt," who "have a problem with gambling, especially with taxpayer money. But the whole concept seems wrong to me."
He says inconsistencies in the program mean a farmer could suffer a disastrous loss and get nothing from the program or make a good crop and still get paid. "Our farmers cannot afford to gamble like that."
He said a potential fix being considered that would put the wager at the county or national level "is still not ideal," especially at the county level. He prefers a program similar to one Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, has introduced, "which essentially allows producers to buy coverage — GRP or GRIP — as a wrap-around policy on top of coverage individualized to a (specific) farm."
He said that kind of coverage could help farmers who are hit by a widespread weather event.
Panelists also expressed concern over the whole farm revenue disaster program — SURE. "The experience thus far with SURE indicates that it cannot provide an effective level of assistance without modification," said Heffington.
He said the programs needs more funding, unlikely without an increase in baseline spending authority. "We do not support reallocating limited, existing spending authority from current farm programs to fix its shortcomings."
"SURE does not have a good reputation in Texas," Vaughan said. "It has been very slow in providing relief for some producers, with many still waiting."
He said Farm Service Agency (FSA) personnel are often working without usable computer programs, necessitating that they do computations by hand.
Timing is a crucial issue. "Since one of the determinants of SURE is based on the average price of the marketing year, producers must wait a full year to see if they will even qualify," Vaughan said. "Any help SURE provides may come too late."
Vaughan believes SURE does not work well for diversified or larger farms "because it requires aggregation of all farms. It does not work for most irrigated producers, those with a mix of irrigated and non-irrigated production, or those growing multiple crops." That includes a lot of Southwest producers.
Delayed payments have been a critical issue for sorghum growers, said Plainview, Texas, cotton and grain producer Dan Smith, who represented the National Sorghum Producers at the hearing. "Some sorghum producers have suffered through two years of drought and are still waiting for payments."
"The program is complicated and FSA is having a difficult time distributing dollars to producers who need it the most. We encourage the committee to allow for immediate payments based on producers' direct payments at some percentage to get money into the country. FSA can 'square up' when SURE is fully implemented."
"We can't wait a year to get payments," said Cleavinger. "We'll be out of business. We do recognize SURE as an improvement in terms of predictability over an ad hoc disaster program."
Raun said SURE "provided little, if any, assistance to rice producers, including those in the Mid-South who last year suffered significant monetary losses due to heavy rains and flooding prior to and during harvest."
Holt recommended changes to the SURE program, including:
• Base the SURE program guarantee calculation on the higher of the crop insurance election or the target price for the commodity.
• Strike the counting of 15 percent of direct payments received from the calculation of farm revenue.
• Change the definition of eligible producer on a farm when assessing losses on a farm-by-farm basis as has been done in the past with ad hoc disaster programs. This would address the single biggest problem with SURE — by the time you aggregate everything on a whole farm basis, the likelihood of receiving any assistance is very small.
• Direct USDA to provide producers more timely payments by either: (1) using an estimated national average market price instead of waiting until the end of the marketing year; or (2) direct the USDA to use the crop insurance price election for determining revenue instead of a national average market price.
He said changes would simplify the program and change it to address yield losses "without inviting the anomalies caused by bringing season average prices into the equation."

Major League Soccer (MLS) held a town hall meeting Tuesday night at Queens Theater in the Park to present its plan to build a new soccer stadium in Flushing Meadows Park and bring a professional soccer franchise to Queens.
Questions were not taken directly from community members. Instead they were written on index cards and given to MLS officials who decided which questions to answer.
Risa Heller said MLS decided to use the cards for questioning instead of having community members raise questions directly due to the size of the audience.
With a capacity crowd, Heller said that the meeting had to be organized in a way for everyone to have a fair chance at having their voice heard.
"We are thrilled with the huge number of people who turned out to learn about and support the plan, and look forward to hearing more from the community as we continue to engage in this process," she said.
The town hall meeting took place in two separate rooms. The theater was primarily full of supporters and MLS officials. The other room was in the basement of the building in which a live video feed was showing attendees what was going on upstairs.
Those in the basement were not given the opportunity to ask questions directly to MLS officials.
Anna Dioguardi, director of community development at Queens Community House, was there to protest the new stadium, but said she couldn't get into the main room.
"Others were told that if they did not have reserved seats that they could not go upstairs," she said.
Geoffrey Croff, president of New York City Park Advocates, said that while MLS representatives were taking information at the door, they were also asking for an individual's opinion of the proposed stadium.
"This is clearly not a town hall meeting," he said. "It is a pep rally sponsored, bought, paid for by Major League Soccer."
Heller said that allegations that people were barred from entering the meeting based on their opinion of the new stadium she said that was simply not true.
"This was a come-one, come-all event," Heller said.
She said the community received significant notice of the town hall meeting.
"We handed out fliers in the park for the past two weeks, sent invitations to small businesses around the park, advertised on social media since Friday and passed out fliers at subway stations," Heller said.

Flagship's liver fibrosis approach has been applied to measure fibrosis in cardiac and renal tissues, and is being investigated for use in pulmonary fibrosis animal models
Portland, OR (PRWEB) June 24, 2013
Nonalcoholic steatohepatisis or NASH is a common, often "silent" chronic liver disease, occurring in people who drink little or no alcohol. Emerging antifibrotic therapies are aimed at inhibiting the accumulation of fibrogenic cells and/or preventing the deposition of extracellular matrix proteins.
Fibrosis generally occurs at a low area percentage in tissue, and manual subjective evaluation cannot accurately discern discrete changes at low levels. To address this obstacle, Flagship's quantitative Tissue Image Analysis (tIA) method has been used to determine precise percentages of induced fibrosis in various experimental animal models. Results allowed discrimination of induction and therapy-related reductions in collagen levels at less than 5% increments, and these changes can only be measured accurately with computer-assisted pathology. Data from tIA can be combined with histomorphologic and molecular data to allow greater utilization of animal tissue in antifibrotic drug development.
This quantitative approach of measuring fibrosis is being applied to different liver fibrosis-inducing models and in different species. This same approach has also been applied to measure fibrosis in cardiac and renal tissues and is being investigated for use in pulmonary fibrosis animal models.
Flagship's approach combines the expert knowledge of experienced scientists with innovations in digital pathology, leading to greater data accuracy and more efficient utilization of resources in drug development.
Flagship develops new tissue analysis endpoints for use in both research and CLIA clinical trials as part of their histology services.

The USPTO fails to protect US citizens against theft by unethical patentors of existing or obvious ideas.
People who don't like markets love to talk about "market failure". I wish they were as quick to recognize government failures. If the government isn't supposed to protect us from crooks, what are they supposed to do? In this case, the government is enabling crimes rather than preventing them. An absence of a patent system would be better than what we have now.

As our Bothan spies had predicted, Honda has unveiled a new power cruiser for the upcoming model year, the 2014 Honda Valkyrie. Thankfully dropping its F6C designation for the more iconic "Valkyrie" name, Honda's new machine is based around the 1,832cc flat-six engine of the Honda Gold Wing, and aims to be a stripped-down cruiser alternative to Honda Gold Wing F6B bagger.
A model that first debuted in 1996, this new Valkyrie features an aluminum twin-spar frame, a low-seat height, and will tip the scales at the curb with 750 lbs. An anti-locking braking system (ABS) will be optional for the US market, though pricing is yet to be determined by American Honda. We think the cruiser market will like the new Valkyrie, how about you?

Copenhagen will look to upset the form book when they visit Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
The Danish outfit have never defeated Spanish opponents in eight attempts, but they will be buoyed by the 1-1 home draw earned against Juventus on matchday one.
Real were in imperious form in their opening group B fixture, Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick in a 6-1 demolition of Galatasaray in Turkey.
The two sides have never met before, with Real's last game against a Danish side ending in a surprise 2-0 home reverse to Odense in what was then the UEFA Cup in 1994-95.
The last time Copenhagen came up against a side from La Liga was three years ago when they took a point from two games against Barcelona in the Champions League group stages.
That season they went on to deliver the best performance by a Danish side in the competition, reaching the second round before being eliminated by Chelsea.
Madrid exited at the semi-final stage of this competition for the third year in succession last season, while Copenhagen were edged out 2-1 on aggregate by Lille in the final qualifying round.
Carlo Ancelotti's side suffered their first league defeat of the season on Saturday, going down 1-0 at home to neighbours Atletico Madrid, a result that leaves them five points adrift of both Atletico and Barcelona at the top of the table.
World-record signing Gareth Bale is in line to feature, the Wales international coming off the bench during the weekend defeat after recovering from a thigh injury, but midfielder Xabi Alonso remains sidelined with a broken foot.
Copenhagen have suffered a terrible start to their domestic campaign and with just two wins from the opening 10 matches, Stale Solbakken's side currently find themselves in the relegation zone, their plight not helped by Saturday's 3-2 defeat away at Brondby.
That reverse was Solbakken's first defeat since taking over from Ariel Jacobs in August and Copenhagen will be hoping to celebrate their 150th European game with what would be a surprise win.

How a Budget Can Help You
Most people think that a personal budget can only drain all the fun out of life. Nothing could be further from the truth. A budget can be extremely helpful for both employees and students, allowing them to enjoy life more and save more money. Speaking bluntly, living without a budget is similar to going in a holiday in Africa without a map.
Here are some things a budget can do for you.
1. Help you save time: sticking to a budget teaches you to be organized and therefore save more time.
2. Give you a sense of accomplishment: tracking your spending and cutting on unnecessary costs makes you feel great, knowing that you have managed to pay all bills on time and you saved some extra money.
3. Control money: a budget can teach you how to control money, instead of letting money control you. Being controlled by money equals a stressful life. On the other hand, when you control your finances through a budget, you enjoy increased peace of mind and more satisfaction in life.
How to Evaluate Your Credit Status: Important Tips And Information to Consider
The importance of credit scores can't be overlooked when you consider the problems that accompany bad credit i.e. high insurance premiums, high interest rates on loans etc. It is however important to note that most people don't know how to evaluate their credit scores and hence their credit status. If you are one of those people, look no further. Below are important tips and information on how to evaluate your credit status.
1. Credit score values range from 300 – 850. A high value/number translates to a better score.
2. A credit score which is greater than 700 points indicates a good to excellent credit status. If you have such score, lenders and creditors view you as a risk free borrower i.e. you will most probably repay your debt without problems.
3. If you have a credit score which is below 675 points, creditors and lenders consider you to be a risky borrower. You may therefore have problems securing credit at the best market interest rates.
4. Your credit status may be viewed as unfavorable by creditors and lenders if you have high balances of certain debts i.e. credit card debt.
5. Your credit score is calculated using information such as; your history of making payments/repayments, current loans, credit problems/judgments made against you etc. If such information is negative i.e. you have current loans you are having problems with, your credit status will not be favorable.
3 Main Problems Encountered With Bad Credit
We all know that having bad credit is a bad thing however, very few know beyond this fact. If you're interested in discovering the problems encountered with bad credit, look no further. Below are the 3 main problems of having bad credit.
1. High insurance premiums: This is by far one of the most notable disadvantages of having bad credit. It's important to note that insurance companies consider a person's credit score when calculating premiums. A bad score automatically equate to higher premiums.
2. High rent or renting problems: Landlords also check the credit background of potential tenants before renting out property. If you have a bad credit score, you may have problems finding a landlord who is willing to rent out their property to you. If you are lucky getting one, you will most likely be forced to pay higher rent.
3. Difficulty securing employment: Employers run background checks which include credit background checks in an effort to discover the past of potential employees. Although it is illegal to deny a person employment on the basis of a bad credit score, it definitely influences perception and decision making.

Famous Ring Wars: Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Randy Turpin 1
By John F. McKenna (McJack): When Sugar Ray Robinson signed to fight Great Britain's Randy Turpin on July 10, 1951 boxing fans, writers and historians already knew that Sugar Ray was something special and that he was going to go down in boxing history as an all time great.
He was a fighter who it was said, could outbox the boxers and out-punch the punchers. Robinson had won all 85 of his amateur fights, 69 coming via the knockout route. 40 of those KO's came in the 1st round.
Sugar Ray went on to win his 1st forty matches after turning professional in 1940. He lost a decision to the "Bronx Bull" Jake Lamotta in 1943. He avenged the loss to Lamotta just three weeks later and proceeded to win his next ninety fights in a row. During that amazing streak Sugar Ray won the welterweight title in 1946, a title he would hold for five years before stepping up to the middleweight division.
On February 14 1951 Robinson won the middleweight title when he stopped Jake Lamotta in thirteen round in the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre. After taking the middleweight crown from Lamotta, Sugar Ray embarked on his "European Tour."
Robinson was wildly popular on the continent particularly in Paris.
Finally Robinson went to London to fight the remarkably good Randy Turpin. The fight turned out to be sensational with Turpin giving Sugar Ray far more than he bargained for.
Robinson was supposed to breeze through his European opposition and when he arrived at Earl's Court in London to face Britain's Randy Turpin even the Brits gave Turpin very little chance to upset Robinson who seemed to be invincible.
Randy Turpin to his credit was not in awe of Sugar Ray and did not fear him. Randy had come off a series of knockouts in the lead up to his encounter with Robinson and was well prepared for the task in ahead of him.
When the bell sounded for the 1st round and the combatants approached each other there was a sense that things were not going to go as Sugar Ray had planned. Randy confidently approached Sugar Ray and from the first round on, out boxed and out fought his famous adversary. As the rounds progressed the fans in attendance kept waiting for Robinson to turn things around and take control of the fight. Try as he did though, Sugar Ray could not pull the trigger and Randy continued to pile up points.
Randy's fans began to hope and think the unthinkable as the fight wore on into the 9th and 10th rounds. Was it possible that Turpin could pull off what was thought to be an impossible victory against the living legend Sugar Ray Robinson?
As it turned out Turpin outfought Robinson for the duration of the fight. Sugar Ray showed his true class in defeat, his first loss in ninety fights. He made no alibis and acknowledged that he had been beaten by a better man.
Randy became an instant British hero and was mobbed by his adoring fans. He was paraded through his hometown of Leamington in an open top car to enjoy his moment in the sunshine.

ROCKLAND, Maine — The high level of fecal bacteria on the grounds of a popular Rockland park is from humans, not dogs.
Snow Marine Park has been closed since July 10 because of high levels of E. coli, suspected of coming from dog waste, discovered on the grounds.
Tests conducted by the city, however, show that the E. coli comes from humans, City Manager Tom Luttrell told city councilors during their meeting Monday night.
Where that waste is coming from, however, is still unresolved, though suspicions have now turned to three homes whose sewer lines are hooked up to a storm drain that dumps into the harbor.
The city had earlier figured out that high levels of E. coli in the waters off the park are the result of sewage coming from the three homes via the storm drain.
Wastewater Plant Director Terry Pinto told the BDN Tuesday that 60 years ago, all sewage went into the harbor. The problem was that when the sewer plant and pump stations were built in the 1970s, it was not known that this storm drain was connected to a sewer line and thus was not connected to the sewer system.
Pinto explained that at high tide E. coli-contaminated water from the harbor could be washing up on shore or seeping up from underground into the park.
Repairs to fix the discharge from the three homes now are nearly complete, Pinto said.
The director said once the repairs are done, the city will wait two to three weeks and test again to see if the problems in the water and on the grounds have been resolved.
In the meantime, Snow Marine Park will remain closed. The city had workers pick up considerable dog wastes and then spread lime on the ground before it tested to determine the species of the E. coli.

Dan Conway is a minor character in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. He runs a Railroad in Colorado but when the industry introduces an Anti-dog eat dog Rule he gets shafted.
The Anti-dog-eat-dog Rule was described as a measure of "voluntary self regulation" intended "the better to enforce" the laws long since passed by the country's Legislature. The Rule provided that the members of the National Alliance of Railroads were forbidden to engage in practices defined as "destructive competition"; that in regions declared to be restricted, no more than one railroad would be permitted to operate; that in such regions, seniority belonged to the oldest railroad now operating there, and that the newcomers, who had encroached unfairly upon its territory, would suspend operations within nine months after being so ordered; that the Executive Board of the National Alliance of Railroads was empowered to decide, at its sole discretion, which regions were to be restricted.
When the meeting adjourned, the men hastened to leave. There were no private discussions, no friendly loitering. The great hall became deserted in an unusually short time. Nobody spoke to or looked at Dan Conway.
That sets the scene for this exchange with Dagny Taggart:
"Why don't you want to fight?"
"Because they had the right to do it."
"Dan," she asked, "have you lost your mind?"
"I've never gone back on my word in my life," he said tonelessly. "I don't care what the courts decide. I promised to obey the majority. I have to obey."
"Did you expect the majority to do this to you?"
"No." There was a kind of faint convulsion in the stolid face. He spoke softly, not looking at her, the helpless astonishment still raw within him.
"No, I didn't expect it. I heard them talking about it for over a year, but I didn't believe it. Even when they were voting, I didn't believe it."
"What did you expect?"
"I thought . . . They said all of us were to stand for the common good. I thought what I had done down there in Colorado was good. Good for everybody."
"Oh, you damn fool! Don't you see that that's what you're being punished for—because it was good?"
He shook his head. "I don't understand it," he said. "But I see no way out."
"Did you promise them to agree to destroy yourself?"
This scene came to mind this afternoon when I read the latest outrage from the Australian Press Council – also an exercise in voluntary self-regulation. As a result of "self-regulation" newspaper columnists cannot hold their own opinions.

Catalyst::Example::InstantCRUD updated to newer versions of underlying libraries

Hi Zbigniew,
after playing around with InstantCRUD for about one month and wrinting some own InstantCRUD-Controller based Controllers (with yaml support instead of taking config from hash) I found the FormFu framework. No I set up a CRUD Controller based on the InstantCRUD-Controller, Catalyst::Controller::HTML::FormFu and DBIx::Class::HTML::FormFu. Perhabs this goes into the direction you plan to go with InstantCRUD. I've got more ideas to put into but have to discuss. Please contact me if you're interested in working together or just talk on firstname.lastname@example.com br stefan

I have actually started to port the code to FormFu, but it goes rather slowly. I have commited some code into the FormFu svn repository - HTML::FormFu::DBIC. But on the other hand I am also thinking about using Form::Processor (or perhaps Rose::HTML::Form) for the forms layer. Form::Processor integration with DBIC and the brevity of the resulting Catalyst controllers really impress me.
I put lot's of work in the Catalyst+FormFu+Crud-Stuff. Crud App handels multiple primary keys, auto filter (over foreign keys as well), pager and sort like in InstantCRUD, model generation with DBIxSchemaLoader, auto tooltips for fields, all configurable over webif... a little bit to complex to wrote all down here. But if this is going into your dev. direction perhabs you would like to review some of this things (I could build up a simple example application)
- zby said...
Great! Sure I would like to see the code - are you going to publish it under some open licence? Assuming you will - from my experience the most difficult thing with InstantCRUD is to make it generic enough so that other people don't need to learn too much about intricate corner cases when deploying it. What you describe here is pretty impressive and for sure I would like to steal everything that can be made generic into the new version of InstantCRUD or if you are going to publish it to CPAN by your own then I am willing to collaborate.

The Habitat Views video considers ways of looking at dioramas today, and documents the creation of several new displays. Take a look over on our YouTube channel >
There are not many art forms more misunderstood than taxidermy. Perhaps the greatest misperception is its basic technique. Museum taxidermist Tim Bovard sculpts over an animal's skeleton with clay, and from a mold of that clay sculpture, makes a lightweight mannequin (urethane foam today; burlap, plaster and papier-mâché in decades past), which he then pulls the skin over. It takes a sculptor's hands, and an expert eye for animal anatomy.

The habitat halls were an integral part of the expansion of the Museum (then the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science, and Art) in the early 1920s. They provided visitors with a close-up view of the natural environments in which the animals were found. This was a particularly important aspect of the Museum's mission because, even then, many of the larger mammals were becoming rare due to human encroachment into their preferred habitats.
In 1920 the Hon. R. F. McLellan, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County, organized an expedition to Alaska to secure specimens for the new Museum exhibits. These and other specimens were incorporated into the first new wing of the Museum, which opened on November 27, 1925 and featured North American habitats on the main floor. The new extension was proudly announced as the world's first large museum building in which permanent display groups were lighted only and entirely by artificial light. The bison exhibit, comprising animals that had been collected from Antelope Island in Utah's Great Salt Lake but displayed in a setting depicting the Platte River of Nebraska, was at that time the world's largest permanent group display of a single species of mammal.
The African Mammal Hall opened in 1930 and was made possible by the generous offer of Mr. Leslie Simson to provide, at his own expense, examples of a comprehensive suite of large African mammals. The North American Mammal Hall on the second floor was open by the time of the 1932 Olympics, when it was described as a hall of marine, avian and mammalian habitat groups. The mammal mounts in all three halls utilized state-of-the-art techniques and the backgrounds were painted by well-known artists.
In the ensuing years, new species have been added to the dioramas of all three halls and some of the scenes have been changed. For example, the geographic setting of the bison herd is now Wyoming. However, because the depicted habitats were meticulously researched, they have continued to provide an accurate record of the environments in which the large mammals of Africa and North America may still be found. All the dioramas in the main floor African and North American Mammal Halls were refurbished and re-lamped in January 2006. The second floor North American Hall was refurbished in May 2007. New birds, reptiles and insects continue to be added to the dioramas.
Robert C. Clark (1920-unknown)
Clark, who worked in oils rather than acryllics, had a soft-focus painting style. He was active at the Museum from 1954-1962.
Charles Abel Corwin (1857-1938)
Corwin was a lithographer and painter, although his specialty was Museum murals and habitat background preparation. Born in Newburgh New York, he began his art studies in New York City, and then studied in Munich with the celebrated artist Frank Duveneck. Most of Corwin's active career was in New York City, although he also spent a great deal of time in Chicago where he taught at the Art Institute. He belonged to the Chicago Society of Artists, the Salmagundi Club, and the Bronx Artist Guild.
Corwin's work was exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago (1900) where he won a prize, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art between 1901 and 1906, the Chicago Society of Artists, the Boston Art Club (1906-1907), the California Artists, Golden Gate Memorial Museum (1916), the San Francisco Art Association, and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (1916).
Florence Bryant MacKenzie (1890-1968)
Bryant MacKenzie was born in Boston and studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC, the National School of Fine & Applied Arts, and the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. In 1933 she married artist Frank J. MacKenzie (her second marriage). She maintained studios in San Francisco and in Washington, DC where she was the head artist for the Bureau of Exhibits and United States Forestry Service from 1917-42. She was a member of the Washington Art Club, Society for Sanity in Art, and Society of Western Artists. She exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, DC) during the 1930s and at the Society for Sanity in Art, California Palace of Legion of Honor in the 1940s.
Frank J. Mackenzie (1865-1939)
MacKenzie (1865-1939) was born in London, England, where he studied at the Royal Academy and won the Turner gold medal and a traveling fellowship. He later studied in Paris at Académie Julian. After spending some time in southern Africa, he came to the United States to design the Boer War exhibit at the St Louis World's Fair of 1904. He moved to San Francisco in 1910 but also maintained a studio-home in Washington, DC.
He painted dioramas at many museums across the United States including the Hall of Sciences and African Hall in Golden Gate Park (San Francisco), American Museum of Natural History, Springfield (Massachusetts) Museum, and the Trenton (New Jersey) Museum. He was the husband of artist Florence Bryant MacKenzie and died in San Francisco.
Clark Provins (1910-1991)
By 1940's, the Idaho-born Provins had moved to Los Angeles. He had a career as a diorama artist and scenic painter in the film and television industry (he's listed today as an uncredited scenic artist on the "Wizard of Oz"). He painted at the Museum in the late 1960s and early '70s. Provins was renowned for both his talent and the fact that he painted dioramas backgrounds in his underwear: the dioramas weren't air conditioned, and Provins wasn't shy.
Hanson Duvall Puthuff (1875-1972)
Puthuff was born in 1875 in Waverly, Missouri. After studying at the Chicago Art Institute, he moved to Colorado for art training in 1893 at the University of Denver Art School and then the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. He was an established pictorial artist when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1903, where he worked for the next twenty-three years as a commercial artist, primarily painting billboards as well as a theater scene painter. He also was a significant teacher of private art classes. His great love, however, was "plein aire" landscape painting, which he took up full time in 1926. In addition to his own artistic achievements, Puthuff was an activist in the art community. He was assisted in the formation of the two most important artists organizations of the period, the California Art Club and the Art Students League of Los Angeles. He won numerous awards including a Diploma from the Alaska-Yukon Exposition in 1892 and Silver Medals at the Panama-California Exposition in 1915. He was a member of numerous clubs, including the California Art Club, the Laguna Beach Art Association, the Los Angeles Watercolor Society, the Pasadena Society of Artists, the Salmagundi Club of New York, the San Francisco Art Association, and the Southern States Art Association, and the Southern States Art League.
Robert Russell Reid
Reid began his professional career as a commercial illustrator. After ten years in advertising he obtained his first commission as a muralist, creating a life-sized depiction of an Indian village for the Neville Public Museum in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This led to several dioramas for the Wilbur May Museum in Reno, Nevada, the "Penguin Encounter" in San Diego's Sea World, and numerous movie and commercial set backdrops. Reid joined the museum staff in 1985. During the past twenty years he has painted many of the backgrounds for the African Mammal Hall dioramas and two of the dioramas in the North American Mammal Hall. He was also responsible for much of the art in the Schreiber Hall of Birds, the background for the Chaparral Hall, and two murals for the Page Museum. In addition, he has contributed many smaller paintings and illustrations for the museum's traveling exhibit program as well as artwork for the Petersen Automotive Museum and Columbia Gorge Discovery Center. Reid came to the Museum in 1984, and stayed through 2012.
Duncan Alanson Spencer (1911-1999)
Duncan Spencer was born in Los Angeles and studied art at the Chouinard Art Institute in the 1930s. He then took further instruction in watercolor painting from Arthur Beaumo and became a member of the American Watercolor Society. He worked as a scenic artist in the motion picture industry from the 1940s through the 1970s. He also produced California Style watercolor paintings depicting regional subjects and exhibited them in annual watercolor society shows. Spencer produced a number of large scale background dioramas featuring landscape subjects for museum and corporate displays.

Andy Golden
Trustee, Nathan Cummings Foundation
Lance E. Lindblom
President / CEO, Nathan Cummings Foundation
The Founding of Nathan Cummings really involved the partnership of the second generation, meaning Nate's children, and their own children who were about 30 at the time, the ones who were most active. The foundation has some wonderful core values of inclusiveness, but that inclusiveness was in conflict with the fact that the family not just wanted to be involved, but be involved in a very significant way and tables can only get so big and we had worked through a number of kind of algorithms for how to deal with this issues. Kind of ideas of queues and people would get in line and they would each take their turn. All of this was in the—against a backdrop of a fourth generation that was really coming of age and in some instances was particularly impatient to get a seat at the grown-up table.
And so the problem that was trying to be solved by the (Sundance) compact was how do associates get involved when they want to become trustees. We had developed a system for selecting the outside trustees, which was unbelievably rigorous and therefore the family—the foundation was comfortable and had experience with a committee selection process, and so the basic idea of the compact was to turn that selection process, that committee selection process to look at the family itself, so there are three family members on the selection committee and three outside trustees that go through this process and the group of six, three family members, three outside trustees meet and deliberate and opinions are expressed in the—a closed room, but it's actually left the outside trustees to do the actual voting and what happens in the selection committee stays in the selection committee, so to speak, so I think my sense is that that allows for really good and open discussion or at least as much as we could have.
And so like many other issues, this is exactly where the outside trustees can be helpful as a way of actually keeping cohesion across the family and actually keeping the family engaged. It's an irony that you can look at the outsiders as being the ones that help the family be more of a family.

Serge Ibaka returns, lifts Thunder past Spurs in Game 3
May 26, 2014 § Leave a comment
In the many months that followed the San Antonio Spurs' crushing collapse in the 2013 NBA Finals, Gregg Popovich was always open about one thing: The Miami Heat still were haunting him.
But the Spurs coach may have a new figure to fixate on after the Oklahoma City Thunder's 106-97 Game 3 win in the Western Conference finals that cut San Antonio's series lead to 2-1: Serge Ibaka. The Thunder big man made his miraculous recovery from a left calf strain on Sunday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena, impacting the game in all the crucial ways he had when the Thunder won 10 of their last 12 games against the Spurs entering this series.
He treated the paint like it was his own personal man-cave, blocking four shots and grabbing seven rebounds in all while contesting and altering countless others. He gave the Thunder the third scorer they were so sorely lacking, scoring 15 points in 30 minutes while hitting six of seven from the field.
"I think I did very very well," Ibaka said in a TNT postgame interview. "Just wanted to give us some energy … and control everything (in the paint) and rebound."
All this after the now-infamous press release from the Thunder back on May 16 in which the doomsday message became official.
"Ibaka is expected to miss the remainder of the 2014 postseason," general manager Sam Presti said in the news release after Ibaka suffered his injury in Game 6 of the previous series against the Los Angeles Clippers.
As the first two games had so clearly shown, Ibaka's mere presence on the floor allows the Thunder to compete as Presti always intended. Kevin Durant doesn't have to do things like guard Tim Duncan (see Game 1), and role players like Nick Collison aren't forced into unfair situations in which their typically valuable talents are no longer a factor because of the ripple effect of Ibaka's absence.
So it was in Game 3, as the Spurs— who shot a combined 53.8% from the floor in the first two games while scoring 122 and 112 points, respectively — hit just 36 of 91 shots (39.6%%) and suddenly struggled to run the offense that had been so unstoppable. In the ever-important points-in-the-paint category that has said everything about the Ibaka effect, the Spurs had just 40 in Game 3 after averaging 60 in the first two games.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks made the tough decisions here that went past Ibaka, too, benching Collison and shooting guard Thabo Sefolosha (neither played) while putting point guard Reggie Jackson (15 points on six of 13 shooting) in the starting lineup with fellow point guard Russell Westbrook, center Kendrick Perkins, Ibaka and Durant. Durant finished with 25 points (8-for-19 shooting) and 10 rebounds while Westbrook had 26 points (8-for-19 shooting), eight rebounds and seven assists.
The Thunder didn't pull away until the fourth quarter, when they led 104-84 with 4 minutes remaining before the Spurs closed on a meaningless 13-2 run. Ibaka was pulled with 3:16 left and the 20-point lead still in tact.
"I will try to do my best to be everywhere," Ibaka said of his plans for Game 4 Tuesday (9 p.m. ET, TNT). "I will keep doing the same thing I've been doing the past couple days, icing and such."
Ibaka wasted no time in making an impact. On the Spurs' first possession, he closed and contested on a Parker midrange jumper that misfired and followed with a jumper of his own to start off the scoring. He hit all four of his shots in the first quarter for eight points and had three rebounds and two blocks as the Spurs led 29-28. By comparison, his replacement, Collison, had totaled two points, five rebounds and one block in the first two games.
But Manu Ginobili almost single-handedly kept the Spurs close, hitting seven of 10 shots (including five three-pointers) in the first half for 20 of his 23 points. Still, the drastically changed landscape was already evident.

Profiteroles, ice cream filled choux puffs, are a favorite all over the world. Though you might think these fancy desserts are difficult to make, profiteroles are relatively simple to prepare. Vanilla is the usual ice cream used, but no one says that you can't use any flavor you like. I particularly like coffee ice cream. If you want to make this dessert extra special, decorate it with chocolate shavings or, better yet, a chocolate fan or two.–Jacques Torres
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- For the chocolate sauce
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 10 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- For the profiteroles
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups bread flour
- 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 5 or 6 large eggs
- 4 large scoops vanilla ice cream
- Chocolate sauce, warmed
- Make the chocolate sauce
- 1. Place the milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, then immediately remove from the heat. Whisk in the chocolate, making sure that you scrape along the sides and bottom to incorporate the chocolate completely. Set aside.
- 2. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the cream, sugar, and butter over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes, or until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk the hot cream mixture into the chocolate mixture.
- 3. Return the pan to medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture comes to a boil and begins to thicken slightly.
- 4. Remove from the heat and, using a rubber spatula, scrape the sauce into a clean bowl. Cover with plastic film, pressing it directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool to room temperature. It will be thick enough to scoop up with a spoon.
- 5. Transfer to a tightly covered container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Reheat when ready to use. If reheating in a microwave oven, place in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on medium-high power for 20 seconds, then check and repeat until the sauce liquefies.
- Make the profiteroles
- 6. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- 7. To make the choux paste for the puffs, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the butter has melted.
- 8. Remove from the heat and immediately add the flour and cocoa powder all at once, beating well with a wooden spoon to incorporate. Return the pan to medium heat and cook, stirring vigorously with the spoon, for about 3 minutes, or until some of the liquid has evaporated and the paste has dried out somewhat. The dough is sufficiently dry when it leaves a thin layer on the bottom of the pan. Immediately remove the pan from the heat.
- 9. Transfer the choux paste to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle. Beat on low speed for 2 minutes to release some of the moist heat. Then, with the mixer still on low speed, begin adding the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until well incorporated. The number of eggs added will depend on how dry the paste was before the additions began. The drier the mix, the more eggs required. Begin testing for the correct consistency after the fourth egg has been added.
- 10. Scoop a large amount of the paste onto a wooden spoon. Hold the spoon horizontally about a foot above the bowl and then allow the paste to fall off the spoon, watching carefully. If the paste is very smooth but moist, slightly sticky, and elastic, and takes 5 to 7 seconds to fall, it is ready. If not, add another egg and test again. The correct consistency is important because if the paste is too dry, it won't pipe, and if it is too wet, it won't hold its shape.
- 11. Scrape the paste into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Begin piping 2 1/2-inch rounds about 1 1/2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. This recipe calls for only 4 pastry puffs, but you will be able to make about 20 pastries with this amount of paste.
- 12. You can freeze any unbaked pastries on the baking sheet until completely frozen; transfer them to a resealable plastic bag, label, and freeze for up to 3 weeks. When ready to bake, return to a parchment-lined baking sheet, thaw in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then bake as directed. Or, you can bake them all and store, airtight, up for to 3 days.
- 13. Bake for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until well puffed, and dry. To help the puffs dry, you can open the oven door during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow steam to escape. Remove from the oven, transfer to wire racks, and let cool completely before filling.
- 14. When ready to assemble, using a sharp knife, split 4 puffs in half crosswise. Place a scoop of ice cream in the bottom of each puff. Place the top on at a slight angle. Cover the bottom of each dessert plate with a pool of warm Chocolate Sauce. Place an ice cream-filled puff in the center of each pool. Drizzle more warm sauce over the top and serve at once.

BETRAYED: Stephen Harper's war on principled conservatism, is a new book by FreeDominion's Connie Fournier. The book is fantastic and well worth reading.
From the backrooms in the Reform / Canadian Alliance, Connie Fournier details how Stephen Harper seized control of the Conservative party of Canada, and the inside story on what happened with Stockwell Day during the leadership run.
The book also painstakingly details how the Conservative government attacks and silences its critics using draconian legislation such as Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. (This shameful piece of legislation that was repealed by Parliament in 2013)
Betrayed gives chapter and verse on how the thought police work; starting with the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission's complaint-less investigation and attempts to shut FreeDominion down, using so-called "Hate Speech" provisions.
After detailing how FreeDominion was under attack, Connie Fournier pivots to examine current censorship legislation such as Bill C-51; Stephen Harpers "Anti-Terrorism Act". C-51 is a disgrace and can easily be abused by the corrupt spy-masters at the Canadian Security "Intelligence" Service and the Communications Security Establishment. CSIS is Canada's thought police, and has been used to infiltrate peaceful groups and movements over the past 20+ years.
I recommend Betrayed. It is a worthwhile read. You can order a copy at: http://www.betrayedbyharper.ca
As co-founder of Free Dominion, an internet forum dedicated to principled conservatism, I have many experiences that I could — and probably should — write about.
Free Dominion was launched before the advent of the blogosphere, and long before there was anything in existence that resembled our current social media. The evolution of the media, its application to politics, and our many trials and tribulations as internet pioneers could fill several volumes
Yet, it is those very trials and tribulations — FD's experiences of "disruption" as practised by a government that has now given itself the power to impose it on us all — that qualify me to warn my fellow Canadian conservatives of what our continued support of the Harper government may mean.
Now, with an election looming, I find that the thing that is weighing on me most heavily and begging to be put into words, is this, my plea to other conservatives to step up and defend our values from the very people we have worked so hard to elect.
I know that this book is not going to make me popular in some Conservative quarters. In fact I suspect that there will be people I have long considered friends who will feel hurt and betrayed by my words. For that I am deeply sorry.
But, there is no way around the fact that the Canadian conservative movement has lost its way. The same people who were motivated to infuse our country with the principles of freedom and democracy, and willing to stand on Parliament Hill to defend those values against the Liberals, have become obsessed with the politics of personality. They are willing to turn a blind eye to anything that Stephen Harper does, because keeping "our team" in power is now the most important thing in the world. Even if "our team" is now behaving worse than the dreaded Liberals.
There is no doubt that conservatives have an uphill battle in this country. When they are in power, there is no external force pushing the Conservative Party to remain conservative. Other political parties are left-leaning, so nobody in the House of Commons is going to be opposing moves by the Conservative government that run counter to the conservative principles of the grassroots.
We understood that when we founded Free Dominion. From the very beginning we said that the site would never be a "Conservative Party" site, but that it would stand for non-partisan, principled conservative values, and that it would hold right-wing politicians accountable.
Unfortunately, as the Conservative Party became more entrenched in Ottawa, and Stephen Harper consolidated all of the power by winning a majority, then silencing Members of Parliament and stacking the Senate, the grassroots members of the Conservative Party became less and less important, and less and less vocal.
In retrospect, it was almost inevitable that a ruling Conservative party willing to ignore and ostracize its base would begin to create laws that were obviously not conservative, in the principled sense. The Harper government began to completely disregard the most cherished rights of all Canadians, those of freedom of speech and personal privacy.
Instead of taking responsibility for what we have unleashed on our country, most conservatives have chosen to blindly dismiss the warnings of privacy and constitutional experts and stand behind their guy. American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt justified his support for a Central American dictator by saying "he might be a bastard, but he's our bastard". Current Canadian Conservatives appear to have taken FDR's rationalization to heart.
The last time we had a Conservative Prime Minister who went off the rails, the Party was split and remained so for many years. Brian Mulroney did a lot of things that infuriated the conservative base, and conservatives reacted strongly by withdrawing their support and voting, instead, for the new Reform Party.
This time there is no major alternative conservative party to attract the votes of conservatives who are disillusioned with Stephen Harper. And, I don't really think there is an appetite for creating another Party split even if there was. But, the fact remains that the misdeeds of Brian Mulroney pale in significance when compared to the gross attacks on our freedom that have been perpetrated by Stephen Harper and his Conservative government.
In this book, I will be making the case that conservative Canadians have a responsibility to keep our government in check. When a leader that we have elected goes off the rails and begins to dismantle the very fabric of our democracy, we have a duty to send our own people into the political wilderness until they learn to handle the unfettered power of a majority government with the care and respect it deserves.
Perhaps you are thinking right now that I am not giving Stephen Harper enough trust. You might think that he is not the type of man to abuse legislation that allows warrantless government access to our personal information, or legislation that allows judges, in secret trials, to give CSIS permission to do virtually anything but rape us or kill us.
His record tells a different story as I detail in Chapter ten.
But, even if you do trust Stephen Harper and discount my reading of events, he is not going to be the Prime Minister forever. You have a responsibility to ask yourself if you trust the level of power that Harper has consolidated in the PMO in the hands of every potential new government that this country ever elects.
If the answer to that question is "no", then we must accept that Stephen Harper, by ramming through some very perilous legislation --most notably Bill C-51, the Anti-Terrorism Act -- has put future generations in danger. For that reason alone he must be stopped. I will be talking in this book about Free Dominion's history and about some of our experiences with censorship and "disruption" that have occurred already, under the watch of our Conservative government. Unfortunately, there will be holes left in our story because, at this time of this writing, we are bound by an extremely broad court injunction that could literally land us in prison for contempt of court if we share certain details of our journey.
Despite this impediment, I will share what I can, and I hope I will give my fellow conservatives some important things to think about. What is our responsibility as party grassroots? As Canadians? Should we hold our own leaders accountable? If so, how?
All of these are critical questions that must be asked and answered by Canadian conservatives. We took the bull by the horns in 1993 and we showed the Conservative government of the day what kind of values we expected them to exhibit. Now it seems we have come full-circle and we are back at that same crossroads.
What do we do? Do we put on our blinders and satisfy ourselves with the fact that, after many years of work, "our team" is finally in the driver's seat? Or do we remember all of the things were fought for... indeed, all of the things that our forefathers fought and died for... and get back in the game?
I hope that by the time you finish reading this book, you will be ready to choose the latter.
Our chance to act is coming soon. Election day is October 19th, 2015. Let's make it count.

Tesla S P85+ vs Porsche Panamera GTS
Tesla S P85+ vs Porsche Panamera GTS
All I can say: once you own a Tesla Model S you will NEVER go back to an ICE car - EVER. I drive the P85 and also own a Porsche C4. The Porsche sits in the garage lonely all the time. Whenever I take it out for a spin it feels antiquated and old-tech. A lot less fun than the Tesla.
Just curious, why is it so important to have the car with the best specs? Is this something you plan to drive on the track all the time or bump and grind around town in traffic? Why not just get the one you enjoy driving?
When I was shopping for a 911, I drove the Panamera right after driving a 911. I thought it was nice, but very big, heavy, and floaty compared to the 911. That was a year ago. When I recently drove a p85, I thought the same thing. But, the instant torque and acceleration, the incredible smoothness, the silence, all have me selling my 911 for the p85+. I would never give up the 911 for a Panamera. I truly think that after going electric, I will never want to go back to an IcE and a transmission with gears of any kind.
You are asking in the wrong place :-) People who bought P85 certainly could afford Panamera - but didn't buy it. I am personally allergic to cars doing 15 mpg or whatever it does.
To answer your question, no that is not a P85+ in the Edmunds comparo. The P85+ would make mincemeat of that Porsche.
Elons personal car is black BTW, don't know which one they tested in edmunds. Motor Trend tested Elons car on the way to Las Vegas.
I just watched the video, they tested some signature red car, definitely not Elon's personal car.
essendon2000. Ok, I will bite. It depends on your needs and goals. What are you trying to accomplish? I wanted an elegant, interesting, performance oriented sedan for my daily commuting needs. The Model S serves my needs brilliantly, the fact that it is a BEV is icing on the cake. I prefer a degree of comfort in my large sedans. If I wanted uncompromised performance I would buy an Ariel Atom.
I use to work at a Porsche-Audi dealership. Recently I gave my ex-boss a drive in my MS. He drives a dealership GTS and he was very impressed with the Tesla, but he would never buy one. Why? No DRAMA! He preferred the harsh ride, the noise, the jerky power shifts, the smell of napalm at the launch, etc. He also found the MS interior too much of a cultural shock. At heart he is a little boy who loves playing with all the buttons, knobs, and switches. Besides, he earns his living selling Porsches.
I can't say I really understand the Panamera. It is not faster than a comparable 911 or as roomy as a Cayenne. Is it déjà vu? Porsche brought back a four door 928. So, what is so compelling about a Panamera – other than being a Porsche?
4 seater low gas mileage awesome car cost more in long run - ice driven both - own the tesla much happier in my car pool lane
Panamera was going to be my next car until I found the Model S. I have the P85. I prefer the looks of the Panamera to the Model S big time. But I wouldn't change. Never going back to ICE.
Two friends of mine had Cayennes, both had electrical problems at around 5 years, I do not know if the same quality problems affect the Panameras. I do hope that your market segment will be able to experience a P85+ soon - The drive in a regular 85 blew me away, I am not a Porsche owner (though did drive a older 911 for a few months a few years back, fun but not the most reliable car) but really glad to hear about Porsche owners making the switch to Tesla and not looking back...
Amazing to see the wide variety of people that love Tesla, the more variants and options the more thrilled customers... This is the way an american car company should operate!
Warm regards...
In the Edmunds test the MS did have the wider 265 tires of the P+ . I don't know what suspension upgrades it had if any though. Really unclear. I do hope the P+ we are all getting have better skid pad and slalom performance though....
If money is no object, and performance is your prime objective when it comes to shopping for a new vehicle, I would just go with a Porsche 911 turbo.
After you compare performance and looks, the Model S and Porsche have almost nothing in common. It would be more similar to comparing an iPhone 5 with a Motorola RAZR V3.

I truly believe MS will take a lot of business away from Porsche. Panamera is especially vulnerable. I say this as a current Porsche (Cayman S)owner.
You should definetely get the performanc plus option though.
I have a 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S (991 C2S) and bought my wife a Model S P85. After using the P85 as a daily driver for a few days, I find it very hard to go back to the 911. Yes the Porsche handles great and is one of the best performing cars on the market, I just miss the smoothness and the instant torque of the P85. The porsche just feels old and "slow" (even though it really is not a slower car). I've driven the Panamera GTS on the track and it felt like a boat compared to the 911. I would never give up the 911 for the Panamera GTS, but I plan to get another P85 in the very near future to replace the 911.
I have the same 2012 911S. I have convinced myself that I will have the same reaction as you about giving up the Porsche for the MS (giving up unbelievable corning for incredibly smooth acceleration and torque). Please drive your wife's car some more, and let me know if you still feel the same way in a week. I have until May 6th to change my mind....
You will never go back to an ICE after driving the Model S for some time. I've had mine for 8 weeks now and I am spoiled rotten. Every time I "have" to use my 911 C4 I shake my head how old fashioned ICE technology really is.
@Carefree, +1
And to you lurkers,@Carefree is not exaggerating. It's true.
I was also skeptical, until I drove a Model S. Enough said. Other threads have covered the ownership buyer experience.
@rdalcanto: I don't need to drive my wife's car some more as I have been driving it for a few weeks. Now we both find excuses to take it over the 991 whenever we can. The P85 does feel a bit floaty and soft, but I hope the Performance Plus package retrofit (when it becomes available) will firm up the handling. I most likely will replace the 991 with another P85 for myself soon, but this time with the performance plus package and without the sunroof (it's buggy and noisy).
We can get an answer by using my special method of scientific logic and deduction:
A) If you don't buy it, you will be driving around in your Panamera with the same question stuck in your brain like a stone in your shoe: would the Model S be even better?
B) If you do buy it then there are two possibilities:
1. You don't like the Model S. Sell it, buy the Panamera GTS and you can have unfettered enjoyment knowing for certain that it is the right car for you.
2. You like the Model S. Great! You made the right choice.
Both B.1 and B.2 lead to greater happiness than A.
essendon2000, just buy that friggin' Model S!
Why anguish? Buy 'em both! :)
So buy a fully spec'd P85 with performance plus package, AND a ZERO FX Stealthfighter electric motorbike, AND a GoCycle G2 electric bicycle and splurge the other $40k on the wife.
If you jam the accelerator down you will get your Model S a little squirrely in the back and a little floaty in the front. No doubt.
Consider this. When you jam 'er down you are putting full torque on in a millisecond. You simply can't get that much torque down that fast in a Panamera.
Modify your move very slightly. Press the Mod S pedal down instead of jamming. You will get a clean, fast, stable acceleration.
My wife got her Panamera S Hybrid a few weeks before I got my S. I had to drive her car a couple times, and did not care for it. I love the S. I also had to configure some of the UI functions in her car, and it required reading the manual, as it wasn't very clear. It has more software bugs than the S, which shouldn't be, as they have been working on auto SW for longer than Tesla.
As for the ride, the S is smoother and accelerates better. I don't know about the GTS, but the hybrid is supposed to be a quick version of it. The S glides, the Porsche is just another beefy car. While my wife says she likes her car, I think she really likes mine more.
I too traded in my 911 4S for the MS. No regrets, but admittedly I have never taken my Porsche to the track.
On the street I have to say I generally feel sorry for people who haven't done their research on the MS. I wonder how these people with new BMW' (5+7), Benz (E+S), and Panamera's will feel about their decision in a few years.
(I'm not including any 'luxury' Japanese manufacturer because those people are buying what they think is luxury and typically don't know squat about cars. They will only notice and buy Tesla when their friends tell them to buy Telsa.)
With my P85, I found myself tailing a 550 and 911 tonight on I95. I was enjoying the chase and laughing as I could hear the roar of the 911 trying to create some distance while I silently and effortlessly stayed right with him.
The P85 is in a class of its own. I don't know how I could ever buy a gas engine again.
My wife has a GL550, which I used to think was a great car, but now it feels like a diesel semi...
Was the p85+ ride harsher?
Anyone know if we can upgrade a p85 to p85+?
Congratulations! I think everyone here expected it, but you have to experience it for yourself. Now the worst part is waiting for delivery!
Were you able to drive a P85 and P85+ back to back? I think it would be hard to be certain if you drive them days apart. Very reassuring first report though.... thank you.
THANK YOU!! Can't wait! Still have a little hope though that the P+ will be a tiny bit faster than P to 60 :)
I think that the P+ is probably .1 sec quicker to 60. The original Motor Trend test was on Elons car which had a forerunner to the P+ package and it did 60 in 3.9 and subsequent Model S was off the production line and it did 60 in 4.0. It seems that Tesla has done considerable tweaking since then on the handling dept.
Would really appreciate getting other first hand reports on the P+ handling and noise.
can you let us know what you have driven in the past so we have a frame of reference? M5? C63?
DAMNIT! Not I want to upgrade my Signature P85 to plus! :( Thanks a lot essendon2000 ... :)
My family own both the Panamera 4S and Panamera GTS, I can seriously say, everyone in my family loves the car a lot, that we had to keep both to keep everyone happy. We also have a Cayenne GTS as well. you can tell we really love our porsches.
While, I think the Model S would be a better car for daily grind, an electric car still does not and will never provide the traditional feel and sportiness of an ICE sports sedan. The Model S is a very fast car, but its not a car I would like to drive fast or just go for a cruise in.
@Godzpeed I assume you have a lot of experience driving a Model S based on your statement.
Having come from a new 911S and competition package 2011 M3 sedan, I don't think an ICE could ever compare to the benefits of the P85 and especially the plus version. Tesla did with one model what other companies had over a century. Time for a revolution and I feel bad for people who go out and get a new MB S class or 7 series or P car without checking the S.
That is a good set of reference cars. Could you take a minute to give us your take on the differences between E63 and P85+ suspension?
If I were you and you were me, I'd look no further than the Porsche Panamera Turbo S. True performance from a gorgeously sculpted car. Build quality is excellent and its quiet at speed (unlike the Tesla from what's been stated) with specially laminated windows etc. Sure, if electrical propulsion is your thing, then have at the Tesla. However, if you're looking for a true sports car with more performance than you'll ever need, do with the Turbo S.
And the cost of the panamera turbo S is over $80k MORE than the Tesla S p85+ !. Porsche must be quaking in their boots at the thought that Tesla might one day add another motor to the front and still cost less.
And the cost of the panamera turbo S is over $80k MORE than the Tesla S p85+ !. Porsche must be quaking in their boots at the thought that Tesla might one day add another motor to the front and still cost less.
Sorry, did noot mean to post the same thing twice
lph - Where are you shopping for your Panamera? I can't find a Turbo S, just a turbo and an executive (at 140k and 160k respectively).
Great to hear some comparisons of these machines!
@EMDoc A lot of recent S class, 750i or Panamera owners are probably kicking themselves why they did not hear the Model S before. I also think Porsche's glory days are probably behind them. MS and MX are going to take a lot of market away from them. They might have to go back to the days that they were just a struggling 911 maker. I say this as a current Porsche owner.

Angular applications are styled with standard CSS. That means you can apply everything you know about CSS stylesheets, selectors, rules, and media queries directly to Angular applications.
Additionally, Angular can bundle component styles with components, enabling a more modular design than regular stylesheets.
This page describes how to load and apply these component styles.
You can run the
Using component styles
For every Angular component you write, you may define not only an HTML template, but also the CSS styles that go with that template, specifying any selectors, rules, and media queries that you need.
One way to do this is to set the
styles property in the component metadata. The
styles property takes an array of strings that contain CSS code. Usually you give it one string, as in the following example:
Tour of Heroes
@Component({ selector: 'app-root', template: `
Tour of Heroes
`, styles: ['h1 { font-weight: normal; }'] }) export class HeroAppComponent {Anti Backpack Barwell bags Ladies Bags Black Waterproof Women Shoulder Nylon Rucksack School Dayback theft /* . . . */ }
Style scope
The styles specified in
@Tote Flower Patent Women Bag Bag grade Fashion High With Sequin Leather Himaleyaz Shoulder Handbag Black Burgundy Zip XPARpw6 metadata apply only within the template of that component.
They are not inherited by any components nested within the template nor by any content projected into the component.
In this example, the
h1 style applies only to the
HeroAppComponent, not to the nested
HeroMainComponent nor to
tags anywhere else in the application.
This scoping restriction is a styling modularity feature.
- You can use the CSS class names and selectors that make the most sense in the context of each component.
- Class names and selectors are local to the component and don't collide with classes and selectors used elsewhere in the application.
- Changes to styles elsewhere in the application don't affect the component's styles.
- You can co-locate the CSS code of each component with the TypeScript and HTML code of the component, which leads to a neat and tidy project structure.
- You can change or remove component CSS code without searching through the whole application to find where else the code is used.
Special selectors
Component styles have a few special selectors from the world of shadow DOM style scoping (described in the CSS Scoping Module Level 1 page on the W3C site). The following sections describe these selectors.
Use the
:Soft Inside Purse Black 1642 Over Nappa 17 Slots Card Sections Zip Flap Large Credit with Leather 1043 Note pxqwdTq8 pseudo-class selector to target styles in the element that hosts the component (as opposed to targeting elements inside the component's template).
:host { display: block; border: 1px solid black; }
:Soft Inside Purse Black 1642 Over Nappa 17 Slots Card Sections Zip Flap Large Credit with Leather 1043 Note pxqwdTq8 selector is the only way to target the host element. You can't reach the host element from inside the component with other selectors because it's not part of the component's own template. The host element is in a parent component's template.
Use the function form to apply host styles conditionally by including another selector inside parentheses after
:Soft Inside Purse Black 1642 Over Nappa 17 Slots Card Sections Zip Flap Large Credit with Leather 1043 Note pxqwdTq8.
The next example targets the host element again, but only when it also has the
active CSS class.
:host(.active) { borderBoots Women Flats Warm Snow Shoes Bowknot Brown Winter 2 Kolylong qXwRxFdR-width: 3px; }
Sometimes it's useful to apply styles based on some condition outside of a component's view. For example, a CSS theme class could be applied to the document
element, and you want to change how your component looks based on that.
Use the
School Women Shoulder Waterproof Black bags theft Dayback Anti Nylon Ladies Bags Rucksack Backpack Barwell :host-context() pseudo-class selector, which works just like the function form of
:Soft Inside Purse Black 1642 Over Nappa 17 Slots Card Sections Zip Flap Large Credit with Leather 1043 Note pxqwdTq8(). The
:host-context() selector looks for a CSS class in any ancestor of the component host element, up to the document root. The
:host-context() selector is useful when combined with another selector.
The following example applies a
background-color style to all
elements inside the component, only if some ancestor element has the CSS class
:host-context(.theme-light) h2 { background-color: #eef; }
>>>, and
Component styles normally apply only to the HTML in the component's own template.
Use the
/deep/ shadow-piercing descendant combinator to force a style down through the child component tree into all the child component views. The
/deep/ combinator works to any depth of nested components, and it applies to both the view children and content children of the component.
The following example targets all
elements, from the host element down through this component to all of its child elements in the DOM.
:host /deep/ h3 { font-style: italic; }
/deep/ combinator also has the aliases
>>>, and
>>> and
::ng-deep only with emulated view encapsulation. Emulated is the default and most commonly used view encapsulation. For more information, see the Controlling view encapsulation section.
The shadow-piercing descendant combinator is deprecated and support is being removed from major browsers and tools. As such we plan to drop support in Angular (for all 3 of
>>> and
::ng-deep). Until then
::ng-deep should be preferred for a broader compatibility with the tools.
Loading component styles
There are several ways to add styles to a component:
- By setting
- Inline in the template HTML.
- With CSS imports.
The scoping rules outlined earlier apply to each of these loading patterns.
Styles in component metadata
You can add a
styles array property to the
@Tote Flower Patent Women Bag Bag grade Fashion High With Sequin Leather Himaleyaz Shoulder Handbag Black Burgundy Zip XPARpw6 decorator.
Each string in the array defines some CSS for this component.
Tour of Heroes
@Component({ selector: 'app-root', template: `
Tour of Heroes
`, styles: ['h1 { font-weight: normal; }'] }) export class HeroAppComponent { /* . . . */ }
Reminder: these styles apply only to this component. They are not inherited by any components nested within the template nor by any content projected into the component.
The CLI defines an empty
styles array when you create the component with the
--inline-style flag.
ng generate component hero-app --inline-style
Style files in component metadata
You can load styles from external CSS files by adding a
styleUrls property to a component's
@Tote Flower Patent Women Bag Bag grade Fashion High With Sequin Leather Himaleyaz Shoulder Handbag Black Burgundy Zip XPARpw6 decorator:
Tour of Heroes
Reminder: the styles in the style file apply only to this component. They are not inherited by any components nested within the template nor by any content projected into the component.
You can specify more than one styles file or even a combination of
styles and
The CLI creates an empty styles file for you by default and references that file in the component's generated
ng generate component hero-app
Template inline styles
You can embed CSS styles directly into the HTML template by putting them inside
<style> tags.

When building with the CLI, be sure to include the linked style file among the assets to be copied to the server as described in the CLI documentation.Lemon Women Women Lemon Lemon Lemon Women Jelly Women Jelly Jelly Lemon Jelly zgpdzq
Once included, the CLI will include the stylesheet, whether the link tag's href URL is relative to the application root or the component file.
CSS @importsBag 24x19 TJC Red Cm Removable Strap 5x6 with Crossbody Adjustable zzwqY5r
You can also import CSS files into the CSS files using the standard CSS
@import rule. For details, see Think Think Think Women Women Think Women Women Think YrTY7 on the HippoWarehouse Shopping 42cm I'm Superpower litres x38cm Tote Beach Gym What's Your Australian Bag Mint 10 gAYngTr site.
In this case, the URL is relative to the CSS file into which you're importing.
/* The AOT compiler needs the `./` to show that this is local */ @import './hero-details-box.css';
External and global style files
When building with the CLI, you must configure the
angular.json to include all external assets, including external style files.
Register Bags Nylon School Shoulder Women Black bags Rucksack Ladies Backpack Waterproof theft Dayback Barwell Anti global style files in the
styles section which, by default, is pre-configured with the global
styles.css file.
See the CLI documentation to learn more.
Non-CSS style files
If you're building with the CLI, you can write style files in sass, less, or stylus and specify those files in the
@Component.styleUrls metadata with the appropriate extensions (
.styl) as in the following example:
@Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'] }) ...
The CLI build process runs the pertinent CSS preprocessor.
When generating a component file with
ng generate component, the CLI emits an empty CSS styles file (
.css) by default. You can configure the CLI to default to your preferred CSS preprocessor as explained in the CLI documentation.
Style strings added to the
@Component.styles array must be written in CSS because the CLI cannot apply a preprocessor to inline styles.
View encapsulation
As discussed earlier, component CSS styles are encapsulated into the component's view and don't affect the rest of the application.
To control how this encapsulation happens on a per component basis, you can set the Women Nylon Black Shoulder Backpack Anti Ladies Bags Barwell Waterproof Rucksack theft School Dayback bags view encapsulation mode in the component metadata. Choose from the following modes:
ShadowDomview encapsulation uses the browser's native shadow DOM implementation (see Shadow DOM on the HippoWarehouse Shopping 42cm I'm Superpower litres x38cm Tote Beach Gym What's Your Australian Bag Mint 10 gAYngTr site) to attach a shadow DOM to the component's host element, and then puts the component view inside that shadow DOM. The component's styles are included within the shadow DOM.
Nativeview encapsulation uses a now deprecated version of the browser's native shadow DOM implementation - learn about the changes.
Emulatedview encapsulation (the default) emulates the behavior of shadow DOM by preprocessing (and renaming) the CSS code to effectively scope the CSS to the component's view. For details, see Appendix 1.
Nonemeans that Angular does no view encapsulation. Angular adds the CSS to the global styles. The scoping rules, isolations, and protections discussed earlier don't apply. This is essentially the same as pasting the component's styles into the HTML.
To set the components encapsulation mode, use the
encapsulation property in the component metadata:
// warning: few browsers support shadow DOM encapsulation at this time encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Native
ShadowDom view encapsulation only works on browsers that have native support for shadow DOM (see Shadow DOM v1 on the Can I use site). The support is still limited, which is why
EmulatedWedding Handmade Beaded 1920S Handbag For Vintage Style Women's Sequined Party Yellow Party Evening Embroidered Purse Clutch Bag dIqX6qw4 view encapsulation is the default mode and recommended in most cases.
Inspecting generated CSS
Bags Nylon theft Women Waterproof bags Rucksack Shoulder Black Backpack Anti School Barwell Dayback Ladies When using emulated view encapsulation, Angular preprocesses all component styles so that they approximate the standard shadow CSS scoping rules.
In the DOM of a running Angular application with emulated view encapsulation enabled, each DOM element has some extra attributes attached to it:
Mister Fantastic
_ngcontent-pmm-5>Mister Fantastic
_ngcontent-pmm-5 _nghost-pmm-6>
Ladies Waterproof bags Rucksack Anti Dayback Women theft Bags Black Barwell Nylon Shoulder School Backpack _ngcontent-pmm-6>Team
There are two kinds of generated attributes:
- An element that would be a shadow DOM host in native encapsulation has a generated
_nghostattribute. This is typically the case for component host elements.
- An element within a component's view has a
_ngcontentattribute that identifies to which host's emulated shadow DOM this element belongs.
The exact values of these attributes aren't important. They are automatically generated and you never refer to them in application code. But they are targeted by the generated component styles, which are in the
section of the DOM:
[_nghost-pmm-5] { display: block; border: 1px solid black; } h3[_ngcontent-pmm-6] { background-color: white; border: 1px solid #777; }
These styles are post-processed so that each selector is augmented with
_nghost or
_ngcontent attribute selectors. These extra selectors enable the scoping rules described in this page.
