Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have had a lot to look forward to since The Avengers hit theaters last summer. With Iron Man 3's billion-dollar box office take and Thor: The Dark World on its way to theaters, Phase Two of the film side of things is in full swing. Add to that the premiere of Marvel Studios' maiden television voyage in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (and rumors of an Agent Carter series), and it looks like the company is eager to take over another medium entirely.
Certainly, fans of Joss Whedon have been looking forward to the premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., as the Avengers writer/director has proven time and time again that ensemble television is his specialty. Buzz has been building for the ABC series ever since Whedon's involvement was announced and only intensified when news broke that Clark Gregg would resurrect fan favorite character Agent Coulson to head the series (although we still don't know how). If its ratings are any indication, it appears that all the hype might lead to a hit series for ABC.
According to Nielsen ratings, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. attracted 11.9 million viewers for its pilot episode. For the sake of comparison, these figures place it behind the premiere of new NBC drama The Blacklist, coincidentally starring Avengers: Age of Ultron star James Spader. However, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did rein in a 4.9 rating among the 18 to 49 demographic, the highest-rated premiere for that age group since V.
The initial success of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't surprising considering the broad appeal of Marvel heroes and the fact that it's following the studio's two most successful big-screen ventures. Still, fans shouldn't start fantasizing about what the series will bring in seasons to come. Many highly-anticipated shows have fizzled out soon after failing to secure a steady audience after its premiere (the aforementioned V, for example, only lasted two seasons).
Critically, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. hasn't exactly set the world on fire with its pilot episode (read our review). While the pilot episode has its share of clichés and underwhelming moments, it does demonstrate enough promise to potentially evolve into an enjoyable viewing experience tied to the larger Marvel mythos. After all, Whedon's past series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse took time to develop beyond their case-of-the-week starting points into a more engaging, serialized storyline.
As it stands, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has the attention of fans. Now it just needs to keep it.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Tuesdays at 8pm on ABC.

0-60 mph in the 60 kWh Model S - faster than published!
0-60 mph in the 60 kWh Model S - faster than published!
Not bad is really an understatement. That's quite fast for a large sedan! (Can't wait for our 85 to arrive next week!)
Geek EV - depends on how full your battery is. Fully charged the battery has higher voltage helping your acceleration. TM is probably quoting at something like 50% charge level.
Any chance you could do runs to 40 and 80 or 90mph? This would be useful to confirm the numbers I calculated. The times below are assuming a 1 foot rollout as Motor Trend does which usually lops off about .3 sec 0-XX times. Using your data we get an estimate 5.6-.3=5.3 sec with a 1 foot rollout which equals my estimate.
I am assuming you did not do the 1 foot rollout test (does not look like it)...
See my re-post below:
lph | January 18, 2013
Don't have the actual numbers because the S60 has not been tested yet. However extrapolating from the data that Tesla has provided (just two numbers plus HP and torque) and a factor for the difference between Tesla results and Motor Trend (MT) results.. Here is my best guess (using a curve fitting technique which has worked well in the past) if MT had tested it.
0-30 2.4 sec
0-40 3.2
0-50 4.2
0-60 5.3
0-70 6.6
0-80 8.2
0-90 10
0-100 12.2
1/4 mile 13.8 at 105.5
45-65 2.1 sec
Note that the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are less than Teslas numbers... this is because MT has come in with shorter times in their tests for the P85 and S85 (partly because MT uses a 1 foot rollout as most other testing agencies do, which I believe Tesla did not.
Because it is electric and has one speed it appears to be easier to estimate the performance than a car with an ICE and gears. It will be interesting to see how this compares when the actual S60 results come in
If the 60kWh comes in at 5.3s with rollout, what are the times for the P85 and S85 on a similar basis?
Thanks both. I'm impressed the S60 is so close to the S85. And even more impressed that the actual times are better than the official figures; the reverse sometimes is often true for ICE cars. Maybe Tesla should be more bullish with their marketing?!
P85 is 4.0 sec.
I published numbers are on another thread. Cant remember exactly which one. Or you can look at Motor Trend which has a test with both S and P 85.
There is a funny thing going on with testing. Motor Trend, Inside Line and some others get a tight data set. However, the Hurst publications (thats Road and Track + Car and Driver) get slower numbers in particular above 60 mph. Wondering how different the testimg proceedure is. It does not appear to because of the use (or not) of the 1 foot rollout. Are the slower tests a result of testing in colder weather or with a battery that has already been subjected to top speed runs prior thus causing the battery to be off max ... I dont know.
I always suspected 5.7 was the real number for the 60kwh, based on
Real world testing reports I had read of the top of the line Model S.
I suppose it would make somewhat of a difference if the test driver weighs 300 pounds or 150. A significant weight difference in the driver's might be measurable.
MS is stupid fast for a 4700lb car in any battery configuration so I LOVE the idea that Tesla is down selling the numbers and letting the customer find out they got more than they bargained for.
Yeah, my P85 is a grin-a-minute...whether I measure the nanosecs or not! Some comments:
* in the real-world, untrained layman drivers can get the published times in the MS...not so with ICE cars where you have to actually play engine/tranny tricks to optimize for the power band.
* video technique could be subject to significant error, since I think it updates perhaps 4x per second and does rounding/averaging/smoothing in software.
...but so what!
Ahhhh...this is terrible! Well, I mean, it is terrible because you are making the wait just terribly difficult to take! I want my car!! I just need to keep reminding myself that it's just a few more weeks...
And a video?
Why is there no P60? I think here in Europe there is a market for it (and I guess in urban parts of the US as well)
i think the problem is you cant get more power out of the 60kwh pack with the current battery chemistry. i think the cells have a max discharge level of 4c thats 240kw or 321 hp.
Thanks for the numbers!
Did the video count begin at 1 mph or a projected 0? If it is at 1 then there is a small rollout already in the numbers of about .08 sec. Either way the car is quick.
Lop off about .22 to 0.3 sec from each of those numbers and that can be used for comparison with Motor Trends published numbers and many other magazines that use the 1 foot roll out.
GeekEV. Sorry to pester you with questions. What was the temperature outside? Did you do any high speeds runs or acitivities putting alot.of demand on the battery immediately before the test? Also was the state of charge of the battery at the test?
The reason I am asking is that there is a big difference between various various tests so far with the P85 above 60 MPH and am trying to figure out if it could be some human or enviomental condition causing this.
It's a way to measure other than you have to accout for the speedometer errors. Speedometers are usually set up to be a few percent higher than actual to compensate for manufacturing tolerance, tire wear and inflation etc.. Pros measure speed with radar or a fifth wheel just for this reason.
Geek EV
Where do you have a stretch of road on which you can go 120 mph? I wanna be there! I lift at 90 in fear of our friendly law enforcement.
BTW: If you have a Hero GoPro handy and are curious about the resolution of the read-out, you can set it to 720/60 and get 60 fps. But I think for all intents and purposes, what you did perfectly illustrates the point. Thanks for doing it.
Speedometer accuracy: I'm not sure the Tesla's is off by much. It coincides almost exactly with the speed read out on GPS navigator (this *RIDICULOUS* thing that I installed because I didn't want to drop $3k to get a Nav device - the one thing I think Tesla really dropped the ball in - an unnecessary slip in style, like seeing the hottest, most elegant date you've ever been out with come back from the bathroom with her dress accidentally tucked into her panties... but that's another topic... ;^)
@diegoPasadena | MARCH 24, 2013: [...]like seeing the hottest, most elegant date you've ever been out with come back from the bathroom with her dress accidentally tucked into her panties...
If that's he reason you didn't get the tech package, I can appreciate that!
Nice report,
don't know if I saw a post I made, I had to have my MS on a tow truck to the service center a while ago, and the tow truck driver said there was a black S impounded at their lot due to Exhibition of speed ticket, for 30 days and cost like $2000 (or was it $1000?) to get it out! wow, so have fun, don't go near any cops. I would hate to get that ticket.

Woodyard Bar-B-Que
This working lumberyard and real-deal roadside barbecue sits amid storage complexes on the Kansas border. (snip) The rib rub seasoning is "extremely unique, with ground sea salt and cloves—no sugar added," Mr. Daly emphasizes. The "burnt-ends chili" features smoked ground beef, three kinds of beans and diced tomatoes, and gets taken home by the gallon. You can also carry-out the bacon slabs and seasoned pecan, cherry, hickory and oak woods. 3001 Merriam Lane, Kansas City, Kan., woodyardbbq.com
Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbecue
There's formidable lineage behind the linen napkins at this K.C. fixture, which is an offshoot of the pioneering Smokehouse Barbecue. (snip) We're talking hickory-grilled steaks, bone-in beef short ribs and inspired salads. Jack Stack's sides rule, from the chunky BBQ beans to the "cheesy potato bake." You can't go wrong with the filet-tender-but-crispy burnt ends or the lamb ribs, which have a moist and gamy complexity. Country Club Plaza, 4747 Wyandotte St.; Freight House: 101 W. 22nd St.; jackstackbbq.com
Perry Foster BBQ
(snip) Mr. Foster's ramshackle roadside smokehouse, an hour's drive from K.C., is open 9 a.m. until midnight 365 days a year, seats about 75 and can be smelled several miles down the road. Big sellers are the pork spare ribs and sliced beef brisket on a sesame bun. Mr. Foster offers the traditional Midwest BBQ sauce made with tomato paste and molasses, as well as a version with a vinegar-mustard base. The beans? He drops the bone from his smoked ham sandwich in the sauce and sets the pan in the smoker for five hours. 10201 S 13 Highway, Warrensburg, Mo., perryfosterbbq.com
Arthur Bryant's BBQ Restaurant
"The single best restaurant in the world," Calvin Trillin said of the circa-1930, Missouri-side dining icon, putting K.C. on foodies' maps in the '70s. The oldest Arthur Bryant's location is a two-story red-brick storefront sprawl. When the doors open, it's like Charlie Parker just blew in with his entourage. The walls are crowded with portraits of presidents and celebrities, but there's no resting on Oval Office approval seals here. The daily-special rib tips are even more crackling on the outside and succulent within than the popular burnt ends. Slow-smoked with hickory and oak woods, the pork ribs are some of the best in town. The famed original-recipe sauce has vinegar tang and pepper flavor: We relish the Rich & Spicy. 1727 Brooklyn Ave.; other locations and products, arthurbryantsbbq.com
Oklahoma Joe's Barbecue and Catering
The darling of critics both local and national, Joe's is owned by Jeff and Joy Stehney, who nabbed top honors at national BBQ-offs as part of the Slaughterhouse Five pit master team. They then opened two of the area's most acclaimed and popular BBQ stops. Putting it in the company of the French Laundry and El Bulli, Anthony Bourdain named Joe's one of 13 places to eat before you die. Housed within a working Shamrock gas station, the original Joe's (since 1996) has a line outside by 10:30 a.m. "Innovative traditionalists," the owners do as they please. That means adding smoked provolone and fat-boy onion rings to their sweet-rub "Z-Man" beef brisket. Or serving creamy chicken gumbo. Or serving buttery buns (instead of white bread) with their Carolina-style pulled pork. Douse some chipotle-smoky Night of the Living Bar-B-Q sauce on those savory, fat-trimmed burnt ends. Antibiotic-free meats slow-cooked over white oak—that's the ticket. 3002 W. 47th Ave., Kansas City, Kan.; 11950 S. Strang Line Rd., Olathe, Kan.; other locations, oklahomajoesbbq.com
LC's Bar-B-Q and Big T's Bar-B-Q
At the fork in the road in East Kansas City you'll (barely) find LC's, a corner drive-up that diners have sought out since 1986 for its grit and authenticity. Just a block east is Big T's, no less of a BBQ destination, featuring a family-suitable dining room. In the glare of neon lights, amongst a smatter of no-frills tables, feast on triple-decker burnt-ends brisket with white bread; meaty spare ribs; tender turkey and sweet BBQ beans. LC's served our eating team's all-around favorite fries, thick-cut and crispy. Order the meats "dry," as the kitchen can over-ladle. Big T's dishes up Deep South sides and a tender brisket with K.C.-styled sauce. Both spots are cash only, but locals advise against crossing traffic to an ATM—"you won't get hit by a car, you'll get robbed." LC's: 5800 Blue Parkway, 816-923-44840; Big T's: 6201 Blue Parkway; bigtbbq.com
Gates BBQ
There are those who gripe that this K.C. pioneer has spread itself too thin. (snip) Besides the reliable short-end ribs, sliced beef-brisket sandwich and icebox-cold coleslaw, the BBQ beans at Gates and Sons are smoky perfection. We know folk here who order them by the pint as a driving snack. Naysayers, live with it. Notable locations: 1221 Brooklyn Ave.; 1325 E. Emanuel Cleaver Blvd.; other locations, gatesbbq.com
In search of the best...

National DH Camp Report
National Downhill Coach, Geoff Pendrel, held a skills camp for four days in mid-January, at Bootleg Canyon (Nevada). Beneath stunning blue skies, Geoff gave the crew a good work out. Several of the riders are aspirants to the team, and it was an excellent opportunity for the coach to get to know some more up and coming talent from across Canada. Many Cycling BC team members were invited but, unfortunately, several were either finishing up Grade 12 exams or working to cover upcoming season expenses.
Coach Pendrel was pleased with the results: "The Downhill Mountain Bike National Team's first winter training camp was a huge success. The riders worked incredibly hard and showed the type of work ethic that will make them future champions. I believe our riders will really benefit from this opportunity and will come into the race season with more knowledge and tools than ever before. This camp represents an exciting new direction for our National Team."
Riders came away from the camp feeling they had put the time to good use and had learned valuable techniques. One Junior commented that, with Geoff's help, he learned to shave 30 seconds off his time from the beginning of camp to the last day - now that's considerable!
Riders from BC were: Tyler Allison, Nick Geddes, Max Horner, Dean Tennant, Kye and Brendan Walstrom.
Canadian National Team DHer Miranda Miller Injured
It was an unlucky break. While scoping out a trail at Mt. Prevost on Vancouver Island with Dean Tennant and buddies from Dunbar, Miller took a blow to the leg from an errant root or 2 x 4, which broke her tibula and fibula, but good. She coasted out with Dean Tennant gamely pushing her up the hills and paid a visit to the Cowichan Hospital. Ten days, several doctors and a fair amount of morphine later, she has undergone very successful surgery at VGH. Her bones have been wired in place from the outside which is a celebration, since it means she didn't have to go with a plate and screws. Looking to be back at the gym & working on upper body by the weekend.
Riders Prepping for the Season
Many of the second year Juniors have arranged their Grade 12 year with a heavy course load in the first semester, so that they can graduate early and devote the rest of the year to riding and earning much needed dinero for the upcoming season.
Chayse Marshall has gone to join the snowbirds in California and enjoy riding in real sunshine. Remi is hoping to head that way before too long - just teeing up a group. Kyle's injuries are healing well and he's busy at the gym, spin, rugby, etc. Lauren and Nick are heading to the XC Camp in Victoria. Max is working for the Olympics in Whistler. Miranda is destroyed to be missing out on her job of riding the swamp wagon in the dead of night to clean up the Olympic porta potties, while Tyler Allison has been awarded the rare honour of lighting the Olympic Flame in Whistler on February 5th - how cool is that?
Most Elite riders are furiously working and sitting up late at night counting their coin. With the current mild weather they appear regularly on the North Shore, Squamish or a trail near you - the mud on their faces making their smiles gleam like an ad for toothpaste. Roll on April and the first wild ride of the season.

High speeds, daring passes, and spectacular crashes — it's not NASCAR, it's the Winter Olympics. How is Apolo Ohno like Kyle Busch? Which death-defying speed contests are best viewed while drunk? Jalopnik's Olympics guide is here to help.
The Winter Olympics have a lot to offer the speed junkie. Crazy new sports like the appropriately named Skeleton (essentially a face-first, 80-mph, five-G toboggan ride) are paired with classics like downhill skiing, which means that there are now more ways than ever to watch people kill themselves on snow and ice.
Sound familiar? Auto racing is a lot like the winter games. Click on the graphic below to learn just how much crazy athletes and highly paid racing drivers have in common.

The late Al Davis received so many glowing tributes in the wake of his recent death that you'd be tempted to think the last decade of Davis' stewardship of the Raiders was some kind of grand hallucination. But now that Davis has been appropriately lionized for changing the game and being the last great rebel owner in pro sports, it's time to start admitting the truth. With Davis gone, the Raiders can now become a functional NFL franchise:
Albert Breer of NFL.com reported Tuesday that the team has commenced the process of looking for a General Manager. The model, as Breer explains it, would operate like the situation in Pittsburgh, where coach Mike Tomlin and G.M. (as of this season) Kevin Colbert work in concert.
Breer also reports that a football consultant could be hired to help the team through the balance of the 2011 campaign.
Ask any Raiders, Cowboys, or Bengals fan what they've wanted more than anything for the past ten years, and all of them will tell you the same thing: A fully independent, competent GM. And while Davis deserves credit for everything he contributed both to the Raiders and to the game of football, he spent the past decade (and perhaps longer) imprisoning the Raiders under his own rule.
Now the Raiders are about to bring in real front office, and that wouldn't have happened with Davis still in the picture. The team's focus on hiring a GM is its first step back into the NFL mainstream, which is bittersweet for any Raiders fan who cherished the team's outlaw status, but necessary for any Raiders fan who wants to see the team succeed. It means facing the harsh reality that Al mismanaged this team for years and years and refused to let go when he should have.
Moreover, it's a devastating reminder to fans in Dallas, Cincy, and perhaps Washington of how long a powerful owner can rule over a decaying kingdom. Al Davis lived a long, long, long life. And that's a terrifying thought to anyone who's seen Mike Brown make a draft pick.

I took a few weeks off recently to wrap up Spring Semester 2012. I'm officially finished with coursework for my Ph.D. and now have a whole lot of writing to do (more on that in future posts). I've enjoyed taking time in the past week to connect with my reader self.
Last week I read:
After Eli by Rebecca Rupp was recommended by Paul Hankins on either Twitter, GoodReads, or Facebook (likely all three)! This did not disappoint. Daniel is trying to make sense of his brother's death and growing up. His voice is thoughtful and honest, and brought me to tears a few times. This is the first complete book I've read on my new iP*d through NetGalley. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about reading on an e-device, but the story was so fantastic I barely noticed. Release date: Aug. 14, 2012
Breaking Stalin's Nose by Eugene Yelchin – I've been on the waitlist at my local East Lansing Public Library for a while; and am glad that it finally came in! I remember distinctly sitting at dinner at ALA Midwinter reading Roger Sutton's editorial mentioning this book, it was the first I'd heard of it. Less than 2 days later it was announced as a Newbery Medal Honor book. It's one that I want to read a few more times and am thinking of pairing with the beautiful picturebook The Wall by Peter Sis. Lots to think about in the best possible ways.
See You At Harry's by Jo Knowles – this one is getting it's own review, check back tomorrow!
A Greyhound of a Girl by Roddy Doyle – This was on the "new books" shelf at my library and I thought I'd read something about it (can't remember were). The dialogue is distinctly Irish, making me think of my father-in-law (born outside of Belfast), and my own Kelly & O'Malley relatives. Mary's characters is multi-dimensional and the plot intriguing. Another book I want to reread.
This coming week I'm reading:
Mr. and Mrs. Bunny – Detectives Extraordinnaire by Mrs. Bunny translated from the Rabbit by Polly Horvath – My 2nd grade daughter and I are reading this adventure story together. She is quite enchanted with both Madeline (the main human character) and Mr. & Mrs. Bunny. We are looking forward to finishing it this week.
A Brief History of Montmaray by Michelle Cooper – This is was recommended to me by a librarian friend who knows that I like historical fiction and am also looking for books to read by Australian authors in preparation for my first visit down under in a few months.
How to Write A Lot by Paul Silvia – A fabulous little book about academic writing. I'm rereading it for the third time as I return to the final leg of writing my practicum and begin to work on my dissertation proposal. This, along with Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird are my two favorite books about writing.
There will be more… but I'm not sure exactly what yet! I've been trying to hold off reading Insurgent thinking it would be good for the airplane trip to Australia, but I honestly don't think I can wait that long. I've also got the 6th and final book in the Nicholas Flamel series waiting for me on NetGalley and am hoping to get Rebecca Stead and Sharon Creech's newest titles soon as well.

Red Sky At Night
Our baby girl reached 14 weeks today. That means it is at least 14 weeks since I was able to go wandering with my SLR. Probably longer. I can't recall.
I have been snapping away with our point-and-shoot but I don't find this as relaxing, contemplative and therapeutic as a solitary walk along the coast with my SLR and tripod. I pause, observe and see more deeply when I shoot with my SLR. This weekend I was able to get out for an hour with just the dog and the SLR for company. It wasn't long, but I felt so much more relaxed afterwards (work is stressing me out, not the baby!).

Sorry if this is an overly simplistic question, but I'm a bit stuck here. :)
I need a windows machine for me to do some programming for class. Since I have my Macbook with me everywhere I go, I figured that it would be easiest to install a vm. And since I can get a copy of Windows server 2k3 for free via dreamspark, I thought I'd try to do that.
Here's what happened though: I installed windows server (disk one). When the system booted up, vmware automatically installed VMWare tools and prompted me to restart. There was also a prompt to start the installation of disc 2, but I figured it would be better to restart before doing that.
When the machine came back up, I was prompted to log in as the administrator. The problem is that I wasn't prompted to make an administrator account or password. Is there a default password I can use? I've tried all the obvious ones (blank, password, etc) and googling, but I didn't come up with anything.

Ind. cop ambushed, killed saving woman, gunman killed
Officer Rod Bradway was killed after he busted into a home, hearing a woman screaming for help
Duty Death: Rod Bradway - [Indianapolis, Indiana]
End of Service: 09/20/2013
By Rick Callahan
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis police have identified the man they say shot and killed an officer who had forced his way into an apartment where a woman was screaming for help.
Officer Rod Bradway was pronounced dead at an Indianapolis hospital after a shootout early Friday morning.
The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the suspect as 24-year-old Steven Byrdo. He died after exchanging gunfire with police.
Detective Thomas Lehn told The Indianapolis Star that Byrdo was hiding behind the door the 41-year-old Bradway kicked in and shot him as he entered the apartment.
Lehn says Brydo had been holding the woman at gunpoint for three hours and she screamed at Bradway that Brydo was behind the door.
The gunman also was killed after exchanging gunfire with police, police spokesman Lt. Christopher Bailey said. A woman and a small child also inside the home were unharmed, he said.
The officer killed, Rod Bradway, and at least one other officer went to the apartment complex on the city's northwest side about 2 a.m. after someone called 911 to report a disturbance.
"When he arrived to the apartment door, he heard a woman scream for help inside the apartment," Bailey said.
Bradway forced his way inside and was shot, Bailey said. The 41-year-old officer was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital, where he died a short time later.
Investigators were still working Friday morning to confirm the gunman's identity and the circumstances surrounding his death. The child was taken by child protective services, said police spokesman Officer Kendale Adams, who had no other details on the child.
Bradway, who was married with a teenage son and daughter, was a five-year veteran of the police department, according to police. He was a native of the northern Indiana town of Nappanee.
Police Chief Rick Hite asked the public to pray for Bradway's family.
"He entered an apartment to save the life of a woman who was being assaulted and in turn gave his life," Hite told reporters outside the hospital. "Blessed are the peacemakers."
The department said Bradway was a highly decorated officer who had received its Medal of Bravery in February 2012.
A few dozen police squad cars escorted a vehicle carrying Bradway's body as it left the hospital about 6 a.m. on its way to the coroner's office.
Adams said Bradway had helped with relief efforts in the aftermath of May's deadly Moore, Okla., tornado. Bradway's wife, Jamie, wrote in the June issue of the city's Department of Public Safety newsletter that she and her husband helped collect supplies for pets displaced or found wandering in the storm's aftermath
The couple delivered to Moore's animal shelter 28 pet crates, hundreds of pounds of dog and cat food, leashes, water bowls, animal toys and other items, she wrote. They were on hand when a family was happily reunited with their dog.
The shooting prompted Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard to cut short a trip to Germany for a business summit and return to Indianapolis. In a statement, the mayor said Bradway "gave his life protecting the people of our community by charging ahead to confront the unknown."
Bradway is the first Indianapolis police officer killed in the line of duty since Officer David Moore was shot during a traffic stop on the morning of Jan. 23, 2011. Moore, the son of two police officers, died three days later.

Sad… this is a very valid description of my teenage years. Go have fun people, it's up to you.
"waiting for the better years to come"
… and still waiting
My teenage years were exactly like the expectations list, strange.
i was more expectations too
My teenage years were a brutal mixture of both.
Back in the 60′s and all those other years before modern technology, the expectations part would probably apply to all teens.
A bit of both i mean you must have school and fun right?

'Steel interstate': I-81 needs rails, says group
Many people consider the matter a done deal– but that hasn't stopped Rail Solutions from putting in its two cents worth.
"We need to make a lot of noise," group spokesman Warren Dillenbeck said recently above the din of truck traffic whirring behind him on Interstate 81 in northern Augusta County.
"We need the people of the Valley to get behind this idea," Dillenbeck said, referring to Rail Solutions' alternative plan to the widening of Interstate 81 in western Virginia.
"I've heard people say, 'Why are you even bothering? It's a done deal. Don't waste your time.' Now is the time for us to stand up and protect our Valley," Dillenbeck said.
The advocacy group offered the Virginia Department of Transportation its ideas for the expansion of rail-line capacities in the I-81 corridor on August 13.
One highlight of the plan is creation of a 21st-century railroad running roughly parallel to I-81 that would be designed to carry long-haul trucks or their trailers or containers on rail flatcars.
The so-called "steel interstate" would be a straight, dual-track line, grade-separated from roadways, according to Dillenbeck, running from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to Knoxville, Tennessee, and possibly on to New Orleans and Memphis.
The goal is to provide an alternative to long-haul trucks, which make up 28 percent of all vehicles traveling on Virginia's stretch of I-81. The Rail Solutions plan would add one lane of highway in both the northbound and southbound directions of I-81.
The cost of the plan is approximately $10 billion– $3 billion less than the state-favored proposal offered by the private corporate consortium called Star Solutions, which wants to add at least two truck-only lanes in each direction.
VDOT is currently negotiating with Star Solutions to see if the two sides can come up with an agreement to have Star serve as the contractor on whatever transportation-improvement project results from the federally mandated environmental review of the state's options for easing traffic congestion on 81.
The scope of the work to be done thereafter will be shaped by an ongoing environmental review, according to VDOT spokesperson Laura Bullock.
"This is a good example of how the public can have input into this process," Bullock said of Rail Solutions' alternative plan.
"We want to hear from as many people as we can so we can consider as many different alternatives as possible. We were in discussions with members of the Rail Solutions group, and we encouraged them to present what they had as soon as they could," Bullock said.
"It's crucial at this stage, when we're still formulating a project, to be able to identify whatever problems might be out there before we try to come up with possible answers," Bullock said.

It is hard to believe that you can start embroidery at 24 years old, have an idk-what-I'm-doing moment and then find yourself in New York City with your own company. But Melbourne-born George Banks has done all that, creating his accessories label Florist in just a couple of years.By doing what most people only ever wish they could – ditch your uni course and move to Manhattan – George is pulling off a version of what I call, The Carrie Bradsure. By lasting not so long at uni and redirecting his passion, George is starting to take up space in the fashion world. He is an advocate for following your instincts. "There is this movement of avant garden fashion that I have noticed in New York as young designers follow on from their final collections and start their own label," he says, explaining his move. "They continue on their own trajectory, they don't go and work for someone or work in production, they just go for it. I think the Internet has allowed that space to move forward."He makes doing New York in your twenties seem worth it. But it wasn't without its grunt work."I use a Singer chain stitch machine from the 1930s for the embroidery, that's what they used to use for varsity jackets. I used to stay after hours at my old job and practise on it, but I would spend two days on one design and then sell it for $200 US dollars because I had a full-time job."With a business model that relied on a single person hand-cutting patterns in his spare time, sewing leather bags from scratch and then embroidering designs over the top was not sustainable for the return George was getting on them. He had to switch it up. "I had to stop because I couldn't afford to sell a bag for ... https://fashionjournal.com.au/fashion/florist-unisex-underground-bag-label-youve-seeing-instagram/
August 2017."She's the creative one," Christi said, "I just go along with whatever she does."Laura, who took design classes at the New York School of Flower Design, said her design experience developed after working with Southold catering company Grace and Grit for roughly 8 years.Once the sisters receive a shipment from their distributor in East Moriches, flowers are kept in a storage space in Laura's backyard. In coming months, she said, she hopes to construct a temperature-controlled refrigeration system for the summer.While the price of a bouquet is determined by the flowers used, Christi said, a traditional bouquet typically ranges from $40 to $65.The sisters, who moved to the North Fork 17 years ago, are currently taking floral design classes at Western Suffolk Boces. Additional experience, Christi said, has come from working in the hospitality industry."We've learned so much from the people that we've worked with throughout the years," she said. "They introduced us to the hospitality business, and that's a great characteristic of our business. We know how to cater to people's needs that makes them feel appreciated."The duo previously worked at Love Lane Kitchen in Mattituck. Christi said owner Carolyn Iannone has offered them guidance on running a business."She's given us a lot of advice in terms of how to manage money and plan now, so problems don't arise in the future," Christi said. "We disagree on things, but we go back, talk and work it out."When she's not working with her husband's contracting company or taking care of their three children, Laura designs custom shirts, party invitations and other personalized apparel a la carte.Christi said the pair is scouting for a retail storefront on the North Fork. Once a formal storefront is open, they'll consider merging the apparel and floral design businesses."That's why we wanted to do the shop," Christi said. "Eventually, who knows where that might lead us."Laura said the company aims to guide a "build your own arrangement" class later this month. The business is also planning on offering discounts to college or high school students around Mother's Day."Working locally, you develop relationships, you know? That sets you apart from other businesses, because you want to make people truly happy with what you do," Christi said.Bouquets are available online via Instagram or by contacting Christi Carrillo at 631-680-0449.Capt... https://suffolktimes.timesreview.com/2019/03/two-sisters-formed-laurel-floral-backyard/

Femke Speelberg, associate curator in the department of drawings and prints at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. "As a source of inspiration, the relationship between decor and nature has always been very important," she says. Today, as we lose biodiversity, botanical drawing is also an important way to examine and document plants that might not always be there, says Helen Bynum, who with her husband, William Bynum, compiled "Botanical Sketchbooks" (Princeton Architectural Press, 2017), a compendium of botanical illustrations by 80 artists from around the world. "Being a sketcher of whatever ability makes you really engage with what you are looking at it," says Bynum. Botanical drawing dates back to at least to the times of the Pharaohs. It was particularly developed in the Middle Ages, when plants were often used for medicinal purposes and people needed to be able to tell safe from poisonous plants. A lot of plant families contain both. For instance, the nightshade family of plants includes Belladonna, a poisonous plant, and also edibles like tomatoes, peppers and eggplants. Explorers often brought a botanical artist along to record the plants encountered. During "Tulip Mania" in 17th century Holland, when rare bulbs sold for the equivalent of an average person's annual salary, it was crucial for collectors and breeders to record each flower's unique patterns and contours. And botanical art can be about more than accuracy. ... https://www.nhregister.com/living/article/Botanical-illustration-Putting-a-timely-focus-on-14463500.php

I have noticed recently that a lot of the tech news writers use the term "gadget" whenever they want to depreciate a certain product or trend in the computer technology world. However, the term is not only being used in a derogatory manner, it is also being misused. A gadget is a small tool with a particular function. A specialized bottle or can opener is a gadget. A tablet computer or a laptop is not a gadget. All of the tech offerings are really general purpose tools used for hundreds of applications.
My use of the iPhone is a prime example of a general purpose tool. For example, with the newest versions, there is a built-in app for using the photo flash on the back of the iPhone as a flashlight substitute and I have used it for that purpose many times. The way my iPhone as a general purpose tool is used continues to expand as I find out more about its capabilities and the hundreds of thousands of applications or apps available.
From time to time, I have been accused of "buying all the latest gadgets." This is technically not true. I have been guilty of buying very specialized tools used for a specific repair or whatever, but I do not buy gadgets as such. One thing is certain, I do buy computers. I once figured out that I had spent more money on computers than all my other purchases combined including cars and houses. Of course, it helped in this calculation that I was in the computer business for many years. But now I do have the quadruple threat of the computer world: the desktop computer, the laptop computer, an iPad or tablet computer and a smartphone or iPhone. Why do I "need" all those devices?
Let me give you one good example of buying a device. Some years ago, I was asked to do a presentation about genealogy. I have taught classes all my life and even taught at a local community college for about five years, but this was a "presentation" with a PowerPoint and all the formalities. I decided to buy a video projector, just in case I might need one for that presentation and maybe a few in the future. I was quite concerned that I was buying another electronic device that might not get used much. Well, that turned out a lot differently than I expected. That Epson projector has been used hundreds of times and dragged all over the country.
I think that when a device becomes integrated into your day to day activities, it stops being a "gadget" and becomes a tool. I have building contractor friends carry around a truckload of tools almost everywhere they go every day. My wife always surprises me with the things she carries around with her every day also. My lineup of tech devices has become a basic day-to-day part of writing, presenting and teaching almost every day of the week. I am constantly trying new ways to speed up the process of writing and preparing for a seemingly endless series of classes and presentations. Don't get me wrong. I am not complaining. I enjoy teaching and writing. It is what I do. But don't begrudge me my devices as I attempt to cope with the huge flood of information every day.
A last note. All of my devices are connected. My calendar, my files, my apps, my genealogy files, everything is connected. So I can pick up my iPhone and start working while I am sitting and waiting in line or for some other event. This is actually what I dreamed about being able to do many, many years ago. So, in effect, I am living the dream.
The next time you head some one referred to as a "gadget" collector, make sure that is really what is happening.

Reasons to Celebrate
Posted by dan in Birfday, Dan in Real Life, Totally Random but Decidedly Awesome on June 10, 2010
Little baby K-Mack/C-Minus/Kroggy is here. Her name is Lily and she's almost as super cute as her uncle danny. She will make a good accessory.
It's really strange. There was no baby, and now there's a baby. Weird. I can't really wrap my head around it or fathom the transition. I love holding babies, but I was a little more concerned with the condition of the mommy, and maybe a little too infatuated with asking about the condition of her tored-up hoo-haw. Sometimes I'm blissfully unaware of the ettiquette in certain situations.
But that's not the only reason to celebrate. Did you hear?
As of July 1st, Subway will officially start tesselating their cheese.
I think it goes without saying – and without hyperbole – that this is the biggest victory for sandwich enthusiasts in all of recorded sandwich history. I will definitely be ordering a 6-inch BMT on July 1st with a big beaming smile across my face.
And for that reason, and without any power invested in me, I declare Thursday July 1st to be Tessellated Cheese day, and I encourage everyone to celebrate with their own favorite 6-inch, or even a five dollar footlong if you really want to relish in all the tessellated glory.
Victory is ours! See you at Subway!
Oh, and congratulations to the Kroggys. She really is almost as cute as me, and much better than a 6- inch Subway.

Anchorage Daily News
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Shell's Kulluk oil drilling rig left Dutch Harbor in December to avoid the prospect of millions in taxes, a Shell official revealed Saturday in testimony to a Coast Guard investigation panel.
Questions over the timing of the Kulluk's departure have been swirling since the Dec. 31 grounding of the rig in a fierce Gulf of Alaska winter storm.
Before Saturday's testimony by Sean Churchfield, operations manager for Royal Dutch Shell in Alaska, Shell had maintained that taxes were "a consideration" but not the driving factor for the move's timing.
"Our preference for the timing was to be gone before the end of the year, driven by the economic factors," Churchfield said in Saturday's testimony. He was being questioned by Lt. Cmdr. Brian McNamara, the legal adviser to the lead Coast Guard investigator.
"Why specifically was the end of the year such a concern?" McNamara asked.
"The end of the year to my understanding was when the tax liability potentially would have become effective," Churchfield answered.
Another consideration, he said, was the cost of maintaining the rig in Dutch Harbor. But the potential tax hit was the bigger expense, he said.
Shell decided Dec. 7 to move the Kulluk from Dutch Harbor to a Seattle shipyard for major off-season maintenance, including the replacement of the rig's cranes, Churchfield said. Shell evaluated doing the work in Alaska to avoid the move but a bigger shipyard was needed.
The Kulluk left Dutch Harbor Dec. 21 under tow by a single vessel, the Aiviq.
The main tow gear failed Dec. 27 as the seas were picking up and repeated efforts to connect it to various vessels that came to help couldn't get the Kulluk under control in the escalating storm.
An earlier witness said Shell had a four-day window of good weather when it left Dutch Harbor. A weather study for Shell showed similar weather for December and January, Churchfield said.
The drilling rig and its tow vessel were both ready to go and Shell wouldn't have approved the departure unless everything was in order, he said.
Churchfield said he didn't know how much the Alaska tax would have been other than "millions." Alaska law provides for an annual 2 percent tax on the value of property used in oil and gas exploration, production and pipeline transportation. The date for assessing the value of covered properties is Jan. 1.
State officials have said they hadn't determined whether Shell would owe the tax on a mobile drilling unit while in port.
Shell couldn't get a slot in a Seattle shipyard for the crane work until February, Churchfield said. An earlier Shell official testified that Shell arranged for a temporary berth in Bellingham, Wash., until the shipyard space opened up.
Shell also faced taxes in Washington state, Churchfield said.
At a press conference in Anchorage the day after the grounding,
Churchfield was asked if Shell left when it did because of the Alaska tax potential.
"No, the reason we boated down there was actually to get the off-season repairs done," Churchfield said. "Once we had the rig ready for tow, prepared and inspected, was when we moved down to give us the maximum time to ready for the 2013 season."
In later interviews, Shell spokesman Curtis Smith said the tax issue was considered but not the primary factor.
The Kulluk needed to be back in Alaska by June for this year's drilling season. Shell no longer plans to drill in Alaska this year while it regroups but intends to return at some point, officials have said.

American Idol started the long-awaited festivities on Thursday night with this season's top 10, it was like old home week, seeing all of the faces who seemed so significant just weeks ago but had quickly become distant memories as the episodes passed us by. They gave us a glimpse into what the Top Ten road show would be like as they pranced around performing "I'm Glad You Came." It was a nice intro into the finale of the 12th season fo American Idol but as any Idol fan can tell you, we still had a long haul ahead of us before we could call it a night.
Idol outdid themselves this year with a countless list of performers and duets designed to help them delay what we're all really tuned in to see. Collaborations between Kree Harrison, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson, The Band Perry and Janelle Arthur, Angie Miller and Jessie J, Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez, Candice Glover and Jennifer Hudson, the top five boys with Frankie Valli (yes, that actually happened, I wasn't just throwing it in there to check and see if you were paying attention) the top five girls with Aretha Franklin (via video feed) and Amber Holcomb and Emile Sande. There were a few things, during this two hours of performance after performance that were really worth watching and others that made waiting for the results seem tortuous at times.
The Worst
Sometimes it's best to start with a negative, so you can then wrap everything up on a high note. The low point of the evening performances was a tie between Jennifer Lopez's spastic performance with Pitbull and the top five boys' compilation with Frankie Valli. Perhaps, it is the fact that these two performances existed on the same show that made each of them seem infinitely more ridiculous. Rather than making Idol seem well-rounded and relevant, it made them seem desperate, as if they were throwing a whole bunch of stuff at the wall and seeing what would stick.
For the record, after thrashing about the stage for a good five minutes, it was definitely Jennifer Lopez, drenched in sweat and seemingly one breath away from passing out, who would have stuck to that proverbial wall.
The Strangest
It probably won't come as a surprise to many to hear that Mariah Carey was partly responsible for the oddest performance during the finale. In a compilation of her hits that she performed in a pre-recorded segment, Mariah stood rooted in one spot, as if her feet were in cement and performed vocal gymnastics that somehow didn't seem to go along with her lips. To say that she was lip-synching just doesn't seem accurate but when they replayed the recorded segment, somehow they didn't match up her odd mannerisms with her over-the-top vocals. At times it seemed as though viewers were watching a mechanical Madame Tussaud Mariah.
The Best
Hands down, the absolute best vocal collaboration of the evening was that of Angie Miller and Adam Lambert performing, "Titanium." Their chemistry during their performance, both vocal and just general chemistry was the highlight of the evening. For that brief minute or so it seemed as though Idol had found its way out of the pomp and circumstance of superstar performances and just delivered viewers pure, raw, relevant talent. Kudos to both Angie and Adam for their incredible vocals.
The other highlights of the evening included the two video skits by the top ten. The first was the delightful skit documenting how the top five girls sabotaged the boys by carrying out a plan masterminded by Jordin Sparks. The skit showed Janelle Arthur changing the music on Lazaro Arbos' sheet music, Kree encouraging Curtis Finch to wear his ugly jacket and Angie encouraging Paul Jolley to tell jokes, all which resulted in the boys' demise. But the best part of the skit came at the end when Jordin Sparks' told the boys not to worry about being voted off Idol and encouraged them to try out for, "The Voice," where "Idol leftovers seem to do pretty well." Ouch. Tell us how you really feel, Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe!
The second skit involved the contestants making fun of the judges and ended with Devin Velez in a teal wig, spandex, and a very padded behind. Three guesses who on the panel he was imitating . . .
The Results
And then, after 4,532 performances, it was time to dim the lights one last time on Season 12 and announce who America crowned as their next American Idol. Amazingly, after three attempts, justice prevailed and Candice Glover was chosen as this year's winner! It was the perfect send off for Mr. Randy Jackson who bid America goodbye during this, his final night as an American Idol judge - way better than the lame montage they put together for him with extras from the nearby animal shelter.
Candice's album is available now for pre-order, another change Idol is hoping will help them capitalize on their momentum. The next big change, of course, will involve next season's panel. Some reports are indicating that all four judges will be recast next season. Who would you like to see on the panel? Sound off in the comments below.

The Other Josh & Diane
It was a packed house in the Best Supporting Actor category this year and Josh Brolin was the odd man out. But nomination or not, 2007 was a banner career year, as Josh turned in American Gangster and, of course, No Country For Old Men. Unfortunately he happened to be acting opposite Javier Bardem who just might rank in the list of top villains for a long, long time.
If the news was a letdown, however, Josh did not let on last night as he accompanied his wife Diane Lane to the premiere of her latest Untraceable.
Also another of Josh looking ridiculous quiverating on the cover of the new GQ. Yum.

Not a lot of new information to be had during a conference call with coach Hue Jackson with Bay Area media, but here some updates and impressions:
— Jackson won't yet name a backup quarterback, saying he's pretty sure he knows which way he's going but isn't yet willing to share the information.
Makes sense, really. That way, if the backup gets hurt against Seattle, he isn't publicly going with No. 3 to be next man up behind Jason Campbell on Sept. 12.
Kyle Boller was much more decisive than Trent Edwards in going 5-for-7 for 69 yards and is the odds-on choice to be the backup.
— Jackson wouldn't name a starting offensive line (sensing a trend here?), but did say of the unit featuring Jared Veldheer at left tackle, Stefen Wisniewski at left guard, Samson Satele at center, Cooper Carlisle at right guard and Khalif Barnes at right tackle, "I'm not going to tell you I'm set, but I'm definitely moving in that direction."
The Raiders offensive line play has been a pleasant surprise.
— If there were any injuries coming out of the New Orleans game, Jackson kept them well-hidden. Cornerback Jeremy Ware limped off after a kickoff return, with Jackson saying it was a sprain they would work through this week.
— It will be interesting to see how much leeway injured draft picks get as cutdown day approaches. When sitting down with the head coach to formulate the roster, Al Davis hates to cut fairly recent draft picks.
At this point, it's hard not to make a case for undrafted cornerback Sterling Moore over Walter McFadden, Derek Hagan over Chaz Schilens and Jerome Boyd over Mike Mitchell. In Mitchell's case, it hardly seems fair _ he hasn't been healthy enough to practice. But when cutdown day comes, the Raiders have to make the call whether to put a rusty player on the roster who may not be ready or put him on injured reserve _ ending his season.
— Amusing to see so many people willing to sell DeMarcus Van Dyke down the river because he couldn't cover Larry Fitzgerald and got roasted by Drew Brees. Is it possible the standards may be a tad high for a third-round draft pick?
Fact is, on four or five of those plays against Arizona and New Orleans he was very close to being able to make a play. If he gets a hand on a couple of them, things look much different. If the Raiders are smart, they'll put him out there for three quarters against Seattle and just let him play.
— Jackson duly noted the offensive positives _ four scoring drives in the first six posessions, touchdown drives of 91 and 80 yards. A 20-17 lead in the third quarter.
— As for the leaky pass defense, Jackson believes the issues are easily fixable through hard work. There aren't a lot of trades to be had at this point, so he has little choice but to believe that.
Keep in mind it was Brees doing the damage, and he always torches the Raiders. Killed them in the preseason in 2009. Killed them in the regular-season in 2008. Killed them with some near-perfect games while quarterback of the San Diego Chargers. Business as usual.
— Since I'm going to assume Jacoby Ford will sit out the preseason finale along with Darren McFadden, it remains to be seen what Jackson will do as far as a punt return specialist. Looking at the roster, you've got to think Denarius Moore has a lead because it's going to be difficult to keep Nick Miller around assuming that Darrius Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy, Derek Hagan and Chaz Schilens all make the 53-man roster.
— As for DHB, his problems adjusting to a ball in flight were on display early as he twisted, turned and ultimately couldn't find a Campbell deep throw in the first quarter. Later, on the kind of slant pass he has caught routinely in camp, came a drop. To be fair, the New Orleans defender appeared to hit him before the ball came out, but it still could have been caught.
The Raiders practice Tuesday and Wednesday at 11:15 a.m. in Alameda (closed to the media) before leaving for Seattle Thursday.
