Tesla Reports Q2 Sales Of Just Over 22,000
With another quarter just closed, Tesla has once again estimated its sales for the 3 month period (usually accurate to within a few dozen units when the number is ultimately finalized during the Q2 report in early August).
For the May to June period, total sales were just over 22,000 electric vehicles, broken down as follows:
- Tesla Model S: 12,000
- Tesla Mode X: 10,000
In Q1, 25,051 vehicles were sold, so Q2 was a slightly lower result, but also basically in line with the guidance the company offered during its Q1 report in May.
"Based on our current order and production rates, our first half outlook remains unchanged at 47,000 to 50,000 deliveries, which represents 61% to 71% annual vehicle delivery growth."
Combing the actual Q1 and estimated Q2 deliveries, we see a first half result of just over 47,000 deliveries.
Tesla said it had issues getting out 100 kWh battery optioned cars in Q2, a phenomenon we noted in both May and April's monthly estimates, with the vast majority of 100 kWh equipped deliveries happening in June.
From our earlier monthly report on the subject (/IEV self backpats):
"It was the apparent near absence of 100 kWh production early in the month (as we also saw in April…which at the time we thought was a reflection of getting 60 kWh cars out the door). This lack of production meant very little high-end deliveries in the US for the company in May.
…but they came in June, according to our estimates, about 40%of the Model S sedans delivered in June were of the 100 kWh variety, about as high as we have ever seen."
As for FY 2017, Tesla has offered no guidance overall as the upcoming Model 3 (scheduled to arrive on July 28th with the first 30 deliveries being made at a special event), but Musk noted in May that things were looking pretty good for making 100,000 Model S/X sales by year's end, and the company today said it expected H2 results to "likely exceed" H1 results.
Tesla statement on Q2 sales:
Tesla Q2 2017 Vehicle Production and Deliveries
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tesla (Nasdaq:TSLA) delivered just over 22,000 vehicles in Q2, of which just over 12,000 were Model S and just over 10,000 were Model X. This represents a 53% increase over Q2 2016. Total vehicle deliveries in the first half of 2017 were approximately 47,100.
The major factor affecting Tesla's Q2 deliveries was a severe production shortfall of 100 kWh battery packs, which are made using new technologies on new production lines. The technology challenge grows exponentially with energy density. Until early June, production averaged about 40% below demand. Once this was resolved, June orders and deliveries were strong, ranking as one of the best in Tesla history.
Provided global economic conditions do not worsen considerably, we are confident that combined deliveries of Model S and Model X in the second half of 2017 will likely exceed deliveries in the first half of 2017.
Q2 production totaled 25,708 vehicles, bringing first half 2017 production to 51,126.
We always want our customers to experience the newest versions of Model S and X while their cars are in service, so we added fully loaded, newly built cars to our service loaner fleet. We always want the service loaner Tesla to be *better* than the customer car being serviced. The customer should never suffer for something that is our fault.
We also finally added a sufficient number of Model X cars to our test drive and display fleet because our stores had been operating with far short of what was needed and, in some cases, none at all. There appears to be substantial untapped sales potential for Model X. It should also be noted that production quality and field reliability of the Model X, for which Tesla has been fairly criticized, have improved dramatically. It is now rare for a newly produced Model X to have initial quality problems.
The first certified production Model 3 that meets all regulatory requirements will be completed this week, with a handover of ~30 customer cars at our Fremont factory on July 28. More details to follow soon.
Our delivery count should be viewed as slightly conservative, as we only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct. Final numbers could vary by up to 0.5%. Tesla vehicle deliveries represent only one measure of the company's financial performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of quarterly financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles.

Can anyone please calculate the total cumulative global Tesla Model S deliveries (from 2012 up to Q2 2017)?
Should be getting close to 200,000 by now, I think.
If not more. But that number is especially relevant to US deliveries, so perhaps that is what you had in mind.
As usual, you people have a hard time remembering that there's a world beyond your borders…!
He asked for global numbers and just for the Model S. You jumped the gun on that one…but then again there is always some US citizen (American = citizen of North or South America) reading in need of remembering (or learning for the first time 😉 ) that there is something outside the border beides darkness and communists.
It is funny because it is true 😉 Only people with a sense of humor are allowed to reply.
That will probably limit the number of responses. That, along with the fact that people couldn't care less.
The 200,000 comment is quite obviously about the tax credit limit not just random curiosity. Seems another thing people forget is that the 200,000 is only for the US and only counts US sales
Benz is so obviously a dutch name. And you can taste the passion for statistics.
Of course it is not about the US and their tax break. Can I assume that you are from the US since you assume that everything is about the US? 🙂
"Benz is so obviously a dutch name"
Oh yes, SO obviously… much like Mikael
is a name for someone who is often wrong.
Given names often turned into family names when people were identified by their father's name. For example, the first name Ahrend developed into the family name Ahrends by adding a genitive s-ending, as in Ahrend's son.
Examples: Ahrends/Ahrens, Burkhard, Wulff, Friedrich, Benz, Fritz.
Nah, I am rarely wrong. But where is your humor? 😛
Why don't you ask Benz if I was right or wrong about nationality?
It is already confirmed that I was right about what was asked for and also about the answer to that question. 😉
Sure, you're right. How's that for humor?
As in humoring you.
I cast magic missile. At the darkness.
Are you allah? Casting stars at the Jinns to stop them eavesdropping on his Paradise? ;-))
I am not interested in a US tax Credit.
I am not a US citizen.
I just want to know when the 200.000th Tesla Model S will be delivered.
Because as far as I can tell, then the Tesla Model S will be the only EV that will have passed this milestone number. Right?
Pretty sure Nissan Leaf has sold >250,000 world wide, hence it has been called the most popular EV.
It amazes me how many people can afford the Tesla. 200,000 by $100,000+ value cars. And by this report more people are opting for the top priced 100kWh version.
No that is not what I had in mind.
You are wrong about that.
I used the word "global".
It seems that not everybody understands the meaning of that word.
And YOU people seem to get irritable from frostbite.
Still – not to worry – it should get above 10ºC any day now.
The figures are in the monthly trackers
By the way. 183k including June.
Should break 200k in December with the last push of the year by the smallest margin possible.
That might be possible, but they will wait, so they can produce the most vehicles by delaying when they hit 200k, until January.
The highest number of vehicles that will still get the credit.
How the tax credit works:
"total cumulative global Tesla Model S deliveries"
There is no reason for them to wait for that.
Again…no they have not. It's only about 115,000. See the historical monthly scorecard. The overseas sales do not count toward the cap for tax credits.
"total cumulative global Tesla Model S deliveries"
Very specific and nothing to do with the US or tax breaks.
Thank you.
Sometime in Q4 2017.
I have predicted in the past that it would happen in 2017.
The Nissan Leaf was the first EV model to reach that milestone. The Tesla Model S will be the second EV model to reach that milestone.
Last quarter is strong. But it will be in either December or January and it might become such a close race that you will need a photo finish between those two months.
New years eve delivery by Musk of the 200k Model S maybe?
Interesting tidbit is that the 200k Model S will have a Vin number in the 220,000 or more value. Tells you that they have skipped building many numbers.
@Benz At the end of March 2017 Tesla had sold just over 170,000 Model S worldwide.
So I would say that they have just made or are about to make the 200,000 for worldwide sales of the Model S.
see: http://ev-sales.blogspot.co.nz/2017/05/world-all-time-top-5-until-march-17.html
171k + 12k last quarter = 183k.
At a pace of 12-15k Model S globally per quarter another 27k will take about 6 months more.
And with the last month of the quarter push and last month of the year push it will most likely be done in December. Not before then…and if not in December then definitely in January.
"183k…… At a pace of 12-15k Model S globally per quarter another 27k will take about 6 months more."
Here in the US 200k – 183k = 17k
I'm not sure how it works internationally /s
Haha… sometimes shit happens. 😛 And it is often while doing the simplest things.
Sometimes not even a Mensa membership, lots of university math courses and even teaching math at university level will be enough to not miss some simple additions or subtractions. 😛
This is still a high sales because they phased out the 60 KWh and 90 KWh models.
So most of the vehicles sold have higher range which could mean Tesla's vehicles being used for longer distance and reduce pollution even more.
Now that Model-3 is going into production, soon it will compensate for any drop in Model-S/Model-X sales.
Just over 47,000 ? I bet Elon Musk bought some to reach that number like they did in Hong Kong
These are customer delivery numbers, not registrations. So no, Tesla can't buy or register these and count them. I am sure a slew of customers in HK appreciated paying a far lower price.
A third party holding company or even Tencent using a shell company can.
22'000 cars only???? But no problem for Tesla. Elon will tell how great Tesla is and everybody will keep throwing their money after Tesla.
My prediction for Q2: net loss of 480 mio US$
I guess it's time for cheap shot predictions…
I predict you will never be smart enough to "lose" 480 "mio US$".
More "the dog ate my homework" from Tesla. If a battery shortage was material enough to affect results, why wasn't it reported as it happened? This seems in violation of SEC rules.
Awesome article that will be an awesome car…

I love knitting on the plane, in cars on the way to destinations, while sitting beside a pool and relaxing, and pretty much any other opportunity that vacations allow. Vacation knitting started early for me. One of my first scarves was made on my way to visiting my friend Jessie in Japan, then later that year, my first pair of socks were knit while in Australia.
I do tend to knit socks on vacations more often than any other projects because of their portability. Also, it helps that the needles are so small that they are even less dangerous than a pencil. Oh, and no... I have never been asked to check my knitting needles. I know other countries have issues with people knitting on planes, but thank goodness the US isn't one of them. Also, if I did go somewhere with problems, I have in fact knit with the insides of a pen before. It is a bit odd, and I wouldn't recommend it for most projects, but hey, if you have a 40 minute bus ride and have left a needle at home, you might have done it too.
My most recent pair of socks, now almost 75% finished, were knit on the way to and in Florida. This trip was so much fun, for it was a girls' trip with friends from High School. We may not be the rowdiest bunch, but it was a lot of fun. It was also fun that of the 4 of us, 3 of us are now knitters. It's always fun to have a friend learn to knit, then we have that much more to chat about. I am hitting my 10 year anniversary of knitting this year, and now have a good number of friends addicted as well! Long live knitting, vacations, and definitely vacation knits!

Leeds United midfielder Lewis Cook has been called up to the England Under-19 squad for European qualifiers against France, Denmark and Azerbaijan.
The 18-year-old – a member of the Under-17 side who won the European Championship in Malta last summer – will travel to France next week as England's Under-19s look to secure their place at the 2015 tournament in Greece.
Cook, who is nearing the end of a highly-impressive first season as a senior player at Leeds, has caught the eye of Under-19 coach Sean O'Driscoll since the turn of the year.
Former Doncaster chief O'Driscoll attended United's 1-1 draw at home to Birmingham City in January and has included Cook in his 18-man squad, one of just five non-Premier League players named in the group.
Cook has already been capped by England at Under-16 and Under-18 level, making his first and only Under-18s appearance against the Netherlands last August.
The Under-19s are due to play Denmark on March 26, Azerbaijan on March 28 and France on March 31.
The games, which fall during the Championship's international break, will all be played in France as part of the elite qualifying round.

About the season, do you like it
Florida mayor
Doug Varrieur, left, and Huie Gordon, a neighbor and retired Monroe County sheriff's deputy, practice their firing stance with unloaded weapons in the yard of Varrieur's home in Big Pine Keys in the Florida Keys March 5, 2014. Varrieur, 57, discovered a little-noticed part of Florida law which prohibits local governments from restricting gun rights in
ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Every Wednesday afternoon, Doug Varrieur steps into his backyard in the Florida Keys, aims his .380 caliber Smith & Wesson pistol and fires shots that ricochet through city halls around the state.
Varrieur, 57, discovered a little-noticed part of Florida law which prohibits local governments from restricting gun rights in any way, and in December he set up a personal gun range on his property in a residential subdivision.
Neighbors were outraged by the live gunfire, but their surprise was nothing compared to that of municipal leaders, who were shocked to realize there was nothing they could do about it.
"The rational gun owners I speak to realize this is lunacy," said Michael Ryan, the mayor of Sunrise, in southeast Florida.
Ryan, a lawyer by trade, is one of numerous city and county leaders now trying to regain some control over recreational gunfire in their communities, particularly in dense urban zones.
Palm Beach and Broward counties in south Florida have a lawsuit pending to overturn the law, noting that it forced them to rescind restrictions, for example, on taking guns into child care facilities.
But in a state known as the "Gunshine State" for its loose gun laws, few expect the Republican-dominated Florida legislature to make any changes.
"You can slice and dice it anyway you want, but there's an accident waiting to happen," said Rick Ramsay, the Sheriff of Monroe County, where Varrieur's gun range is located.
Ramsay and Ryan point to the death of 69-year-old Bruce Fleming in Deltona near Orlando on Christmas morning. Fleming was struck apparently by accident by a shotgun blast from a neighbor's property. The shooting remains under investigation.
Varrieur, an author of diet books, set up his shooting target on December 26 after he and his wife bought his-and-her pistols for Christmas, and baulked at the 70-mile round trip to the nearest commercial gun range to practice shooting.
Under Florida Statute 790, gun control is solely under state, not local, jurisdiction. The only state restriction on recreational shooting on private residential property is that the bullets cannot fly over a paved public road or an occupied dwelling, and that shots cannot be "reckless or negligent."
Legislators in 2011 put teeth into the law by imposing a $5,000 fine and authorizing the governor to remove from office any local government official who attempts to restrict gun use.
Although nothing in the state law specifically required him to try to block errant bullets, Varrieur mounted his target on a 7 X 7-foot backstop which he installed against a 12-foot-tall shed. When he fires his weapon, Varrieur is shooting in the direction of a canal used by boaters to reach open water.
Varrieur said he stations his wife and father on the edge of the canal to warn him if a boat is coming. And he said he informs the sheriff's department of when he will be shooting.
Recognizing that other gun owners will want to follow his lead, Varrieur now offers upon request instructions for building his backstop and his personal set of "Varrieur Range Rules," which recommend weapons should not exceed a .357 Magnum and a ban on alcohol consumption.
"My passion is to make sure they are safe, safe, safe," Varrieur said.
After seeing a news account about the controversy in the Keys over Varrieur's gun range, mayor Ryan wrote in February to Governor Rick Scott asking him to explicitly promise not to exercise his authority to remove from office any local public official who imposes reasonable restrictions on target shooting in residential neighborhoods.
Scott, through his general counsel, responded, telling Ryan it would be "prudent" to wait until the Palm Beach and Broward lawsuits are resolved.
The Broward lawsuit complains that the law is unconstitutional because it violates the separation of powers by giving the governor the ability to remove local officials from office. Under current law, the governor is only allowed to suspend local officials.
Ramsay said he believes a shooter could be arrested if a deputy witnesses a bullet flying over his or her property lines under the "reckless or negligent" prohibition in the law. But Ramsay said he has instructed his deputies to seek legal advice before attempting an arrest.
"The irony is if someone wants to put in an addition to their home or an in-ground pool, they have to come through code enforcement and zoning. Here we can't say anything," Ryan said.

Fishery officials abalone poachers convicted
Day Van Tang was sentenced in Nelson District Court to 11 months in jail after his second conviction for paua poaching.
He was also banned from fishing for three years, and his vehicle and his gear used in the poaching was forfeited to the Crown.
Tang and his brother Hanh Tang were caught in Nelson with 139 paua, 115 of which were undersized, that they took at a secluded spot on the Kaikoura coast.
When first approached Day Van Tang denied knowing what the shellfish were, saying they were whelks - a type of sea snail.
But he later admitted he knew he was only allowed to take 10 paua a day, and that despite knowing he wasn't allowed to catch paua less than 125mm he didn't measure any of them.
Tang had already been jailed for 12 months in 2010 on charges of selling, taking or possessing paua to obtain a benefit.
"I hope he takes the time to reflect on the foolishness of his actions. He has a long while to do so," Ministry of Primary Industries district compliance manager Ian Bright said.
Hanh Tang had already been fined $2000 but escaped anything more serious as it was his first fisheries-related conviction and there was no evidence he intended to sell any of the paua.
The men were caught after an anonymous tip-off from the public, Mr Bright said.
"We greatly appreciate the support of the community in reporting poachers and those who break the rules."

The stills from last Friday (by Kevin Marchand)
are now on my website, under "Fighting Waves". I will post the video soon too.
This is unrelated: Xenia and I had a discussion about something following up one of her latest blog entries (read here) and it really upset me to learn that some people I know are actually real bigots when it comes down to it. I just want to say that if you have a problem with "the jews" for any reason and therefore only "tolerate" me or if you think I should be ashamed of being a jew then don't talk to me, ever. Jews, Israelis, right wing Israelis and the Israeli government are all very different entities, I hope you understand that. Jews have different opinions. I don't support the occupation of Palestine, I have no hand in media control and my parents are not "loaded". Think again before you make your stupid remarks.

Jason Shackell has completed his move to Derby County.
The Burnley captain hasrejoined the Rams on a three-year deal after Burnley accepted an offer in excess of £3m for the 31-year-old centre back.
Shackell moved from Pride Park to Turf Moor for £1.1m three years ago, and has been a virtual ever-present, but has not played in pre-season for the Clarets with calf and back problems, while Derby stepped up their interest.
They had an initial offer of £1.5m rising to £2m turned down, and had at least two further offers rebuffed before finally getting their man, and boss Sean Dyche said: "It's fair to say Derby County Football Club made an offer to him that was so large he found he couldn't refuse it.
"Outside the Premier League there are still some clubs throwing enormous amounts of money at it, and Derby are one of those clubs.
"We feel we had to stand as strong as we have done to make sure we got the required amount of money for him."
Shackell, meanwhile, said: "I am really excited about the prospect of working with Paul Clement, his coaching staff and the rest of the players.
"There is a really strong squad here and I am happy to be part of it.
"Derby have been at the top end of the division for the last few years and I believe that we can be up there again this season, hopefully making that final step and reaching the Premier League."

Men & Women - Equal But Different? Series
Contributed by Scott Kircher on May 19, 2008 (message contributor)
Summary: Are their differences between men and women and do those differences matter in the church
Men and women – Equal but Different?
We live in an age where merely recognizing differences in people can sometimes be interpreted as discrimination.
Since the 1960's it has been unlawful in the workplace to discriminate based upon race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
While that is good, and I don't really know anyone who desires to discriminate, it is a much more difficult thing to put into practice in regards to not discriminating based upon sex.
Police fitness standards
For instance, is it discrimination to have one standard of physical fitness to be a police officer?
Most of us would say no. Until that is if in practice, that standard eliminated nearly all women from being police officers. Then there might be those who complain.
But what if different standards were made for men and women.
Would that be discrimination against men if women had a lower standard?
What if we eventually came up with standards where the exact proportion of the population was represented as police officers? Would that be free from discrimination?
But then let me ask you, who would you want coming to rescue you from a mugger?
A woman who had become a police officer because she had to be able to bench press less weight, do fewer sit ups, run at a slower pace than a man?
We all know that generally, there are anatomical differences between men and women, but where does it become discrimination and where is it just a matter of design that determines the role a person should play?
This question has been Hot to handle for a long time and I don't expect it will change after today's message, but we are going to attempt to tackle the issue of Men and Women and the roles we play by asking the question
Should the differences between men and women play a part in determining what role a person may play in the home or church?
Are men and women equal or are they different or can we be both equal and different and does that play a part in determining our role in the home and church?
This is by no means just some theological debate because it has very really effects on our daily life in the home and in the church depending on what we believe about this issue.
So let's take a look at what the Bible has to say about Men and women, our differences and our roles.
First, we need to understand that the Bible teaches that even though we have been created different,
Men and Women have Equal Worth
So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
Men and women have been created in the image of God and because of that are valuable in God's sight.
Today, in the Christian community, except for some possibly fringe element, nobody will disagree with that. Everyone recognizes the intrinsic worth of all human beings, both men and women.
Unfortunately, however, whether or not people would acknowledge that, it has not always been practiced. Women historically have often been treated as inferior to men.
In Old Testament times, a common prayer among Jewish men would be,
"Thank you God that I am not a Gentile, a slave or a woman"
The Bible does not support the view that women are inferior in worth to men. They have been
created in the image of God like a man and
are valuable to Him
and to treat them as property or as something less than a man, is a sin that demeans the image of God.
Our God is a great God and has created nothing that bears His image as inferior.
Women have equal worth in the eyes of God and are valuable to Him and should be valuable to us just as any human being should be.
The Bible also teaches that
Men and Women have Equal Giftings
That means that every gift of the Holy Spirit is available to both men and women
When Paul writes to the Corinthians he does not indicate a difference for men or women in receiving gifts of the Holy Spirit.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

This event is now over
About IOEF
IOEF (Innovation and Operational Excellence Forum) is an initiative by PMI Pune - Deccan India Chapter, to provide a cross-industry learning platform for professionals who practice and nurture innovation and operational excellence using different tools/approach at their workplace.
This session would be debate on two hot topics
Session 1 : "Do we need to be CREATIVE to become INNOVATIVE?"
Session 2 : " How does Project management will be different for managing Project involving INNOVATION? "
"To be creative you have to contribute something different from what you've done before. Your results need not be original to the world; few results truly meet that criterion. In fact, most results are built on the work of others." – Lynne C. Levesque
With Diwali and Dussera vacations overlapping with long weekends, we were unable to have IOEF sessions for the past 2 months. We are reinitiating them with a difference. The year 2013 will see some paid workshop on Six Sigma, TOC and Innovation Management.

Saturday morning college football thoughts
A mid-season look at a few questions
- How come at 2-6 against Oklahoma, all the media could say after last Saturday's game was that Stoops finally stopped this losing streak against Texas and not… Texas back to taking yearly beatings from Oklahoma?
- Is the Big 10 really that bad?
- How did USC get beaten by a one loss Standford at home and stay in the top 10?
- How bad does Brian Brohm's decision to go back to college after his great Jr season look now?
- Why does the media always demand a little sister to prop up? Enjoy your turn, USF
- Is it going to take a pitchfork and flaming torch mob at the offices of the NCAA to finally get a playoff to determine a champion? On second thought, nobody would watch that. Just look at it. The first game (as it stands this morning). Nobody wants to see a re-match of that slugfest from Baton Rouge. Let's stick with the BCS. That always works out great! [negative]
Money Changes Everything -Cindy Lauper, 1984
Forgive my little stream of consciousness blow up but I'm wrestling with a question. Why do I even want to see the above train wreck? This is NOT the same band that made me stop and stand in front of the radio in Kevin McCormick's garage and with an open mouthed stare as Eddie Van Halen tore up "Eruption". I was only 6 years old but I knew this was not ABBA. I also knew that everything else coming out of my brother's Plymouth Duster's speakers (Schon, Frehley, Richrath, Page, Buckingham, etc.) didn't sound like this either. No. This was different. This was dirty and mean and loud and maybe what those dudes in the Eagles wanted to sound like but just didn't for some reason. THIS was rock and roll. This is why Drop Dead Legs and Girl Gone Bad played through the class cassette player when Mrs. Gibson left the room was worth me spending the rest of the day in the Principal's office of Eastern Avenue Christian Academy.
So, why is it different? I don't know. Somewhere in my Dad's tool shed back in Oklahoma, I've still got the copy of Guitar World magazine from 1991 where Eddie Van Halen spends half of the interview explaining why Roth quit. Roth says he was fired. Blah, blah, blah… Nobody cares.
I was excited when Roth was "back" in '96. Same when Roth was "back" in '02. They hate each other again. No, they don't. Wait… yes they… What were we talking about? Ed claims that they recorded some new music with DLR but are fighting again and that Van Halen is going to tour with Sammy Hagar for the summer. Roth is on the Howard Stern Show talking about the brothers Halen like they were the devil. He'll never talk to them again. Ed's on MTV claiming that Roth "better wear a cup" if he ever talks to him like that again. Cup? I don't know either. Some catfight, I guess. Oddly enough, Van Halen managed to record my favorite album ever (5150) with Sammy Hagar after the first break up in 1986.
So, what does it all mean, Gladys? I just don't think I like it. In the last ten years, Van Halen made a crappy album with Ex-Extreme front man, Gary Cherone. Those who claimed that David Lee Roth can't even get arrested these days were proved wrong with a pot bust in Central Park. And the Van Halen camp was silent. A year ago Eddie Van Halen made a brief appearance at some award show looking like the crazy woman down the street with the dozens of cats and baseballs and frisbees in her overgrown yard because the kids were scared to go get them. Roth looked well, Roth looked like Doc from Back to the Future. They were tired. Ed checks into rehab, Roth was fired from his boring radio show, and Ed's son "replaced" founding member, Michael Anthony on bass. Now they're friends?! Now, they're old buddies that just had a misunderstanding? The rock and roll equivalent of rap feud shooting after a Mike Tyson fight in Vegas. Makes me wonder just how much cash a promoter waved in front of them. It doesn't matter. It's all hard to buy the "it's just show business" line after 20 years of animosity. Hard to swallow the Ed and Dave all smiles and hugging after every song thing too.
I saw about 30 min of footage of their last rehearsal at the Staples Center and some from the first show in North Carolina. They do look good these days. It looked like most of the guys from Van Halen doing a decent impression of a 1984′ish Van Halen. Should a 50 year old man still be "Hot For Teacher"? I know 2 decades have passed and musical styles have changed, people grow, and things just come out differently. I saw Metallica in high school then saw them again 5 years later. Different. But Van Halen built the Van Halen franchise on being Van Halen. Maybe it's 20 years of rust. Maybe they will come off of the tour and record a great album. Maybe that "Brown Sound" will live again in the new century. But then again, maybe Ed will fall off the wagon (again), Dave will be so coked up he can't find his keys, and the kid on bass will be playing his XBox with his buddy from down the street. Who knows? Maybe they'll come to Nashville on this tour. Maybe I'll beg Mrs. FullBug for the night off to go.
Suck it, Burger King
Last night, (after getting home from dinner with some friends) I'm outside under the dashboard of my poorly lit SUV around 9:00. Stupid satellite radio cord is tangled and there's not enough wire to nevermind… it was real mechanical stuff. You wouldn't understand. Anyway… there's some dude walking down the street and there's no light. I want to go inside but I can't get the $^%ing thing unstuck! Just then, I hear "call me!". So, I do what most men would do. I jump, hit my head on the handle thing on the passenger side of the truck, and spin around looking for the creepy dude. He's gone (probably back in his house looking through the window at the guy cussing a radio and smashing his head). It was right around then that I found this guy (below). Burger King
gave bribed kids with these a few weeks back during the Simpson's Movie hub bub. Seems "Barney" says "call me" when the button is pressed with the handle of a phillips head screw driver. Or… Hoot's finger when I brought this in from the truck. "There he is! I haven't seen that yellow boy in a long time." "Call me" "Call me" "Call me" etc…

Tim and I decided that we would not be sending LittleA to pre-k this year. We opted to keep her home until next September when she will head off to Kindergarten. The reasons for this are numerous - but that is not what this post is about. This post is about the exciting "smith school" (as dubbed by LittleA) we are working on at home. No we are not handing out worksheets and homework. This plan is driven by the things that LittleA wants to know about. It is heavily created around books and exploring the world without necessarily leaving our house.
We hope to travel the globe through stories and "unknowingly" learn all kinds of good things as we go along. This idea was based upon the map reading mentioned by Jim Trealease's The Read-Aloud Handbook We did the ground work a week ago when we purchased a world map in the poster section of our local craft store. Their was a poster sale going on and I got the map for under $2.
I trimmed off some of the sides so that it would fit when mounted to an old cork board we had laying around. I just used my rotary cutter and quilting ruler to cut nice even lines.
LittleA helped me to put the push pins in to secure the corners and edges. There is even a nice space left where we can tack up pictures and other fun things we find in our travels. We added our first pin into our home town and will take a look at where we are in comparison to the other pins we add. We hope to log each pin into a book so we can track our travels through the year. Hopefully we can find great books with ties to all corners of the planet. Any suggestions?
Last week to get things started we read Laurie Keller's (we LOVE her books - especially Arnie the Doughnut) Scrambled States of America - Talent Show. We got out our USA puzzle map (scrambled all the pieces) and tried to follow along with the states as they were introduced in the book.
First two states making the map.
To make it easier for LittleA to find the states as we came across them in the book we sorted them by puzzle piece color. That way I would show her the shape of the state in the book and if she had trouble locating the piece I would give her a clue "it is in the green pile"
the map beginning to fill in.
Even without a USA puzzle you could still do this same activity. Perhaps you have a felt set or even just a USA map printout.
Do you have any other books about the states that you love? Let me know we are always on the look out!

(Read The New Box of Crayolas below first)
A while ago I posted about new boxes of Crayolas. My thought processes have continued and really went a different direction than I originally thought they would. I ordered the biggest box of Crayolas online that I could. 120 brand new, perfectly pointed, clean Crayolas! The only thing that didn't happen was their arrival in a big box of tiered rows. There is just something that is totally perfect about 120 brand new Crayolas, perfectly pointed and clean, in a new tiered box. All the colors show so prettily! Actually these arrived in several smaller boxes inside of a rectangularly cubed shaped box very similar to a first grader's pencil box. So the new Crayolas with the perfect points and all clean paper wrappers are in a box but you cannot see all the colors at the same time. So, I guess they are just almost totally perfect!
That is how we are when we come into the world at birth. Just like a a new Crayola! After we go through some of life we get broken. Our paper becomes torned. Our points get worn down. We just are not perfect anymore. But in the right hands–the hands of an artist–we can still make beautiful color!
A few years ago on QVC, they were demonstrating a product by Crayola that would allow you to take your broken Crayolas and put them in this little machine on a tray that when heated would melt the broken Crayolas and then you could tilt the tray and the melted wax would pour into a mold. When the wax cooled, you could open the mold and pop out brand new perfectly formed Crayolas. Like all their past trials had been forgiven and they were like new again. I ordered two of the machines for me and my grandchildren and we have spent many hours making new Crayolas from the box of the broken up pieces. We mixed various colors together and created mixtures of beautiful colors that I am sure even the company Crayola would be proud of.
It has occured to me that we are like Crayolas–we come out of the new box all totally perfect and clean. Even when we get all broken up, we can be used for good if those around us will let us. But the most amazing thing is that God can take the broke pieces of our life and remold then, and interweave special gifts with them and make them like new, almost perfect again, with totally perfect points, clean, and ready to use again. (I John 1:11-13)
There is a praise hymn written in the early '70's by Bill and Gloria Gaither that fits here:
Something Beautiful
Something beautiful
Something good
All my confusion He understood.
All I had to offer Him was brokenedness and strife
And He made something beautiful of my life!
In the first part of my thinking I said that I thought Crayolas were the best crayons. Like Hallmark's motto: When you care enough to send the very best…
That is what God does!
I have always loved to color. Even now I love to color. It is all I can do to remember to let the grandchildren color on the kiddie menus at restaurants. I want to color!
Maybe I am purist because I don't like to color with any crayons except Crayolas. The others are simply not the same. The bigger the box the better! I remember that were always the boxes with eight rather basic colors. Then, there were boxes of sixteen crayons–two rows. Then there were boxes of sixty-four crayons–four rows. But the most wonderful thing was the box with one hundred twenty-eight perfectly made crayons. You could open the box–a new box and see total perfection. One hundred twenty eight different crayons! One hundred twenty-eight different colors! Each perfectly made. Each sticking out the very same distance from the box in perfectly tiered rows. I use the word perfect or a version of it over and over because in the mind of me–a child with not a lot material things any size box of new Crayolas was perfect, but the 128 count box was total perfection.
It was because of this big box of Crayolas that I immediately knew the color of the water out from our liani on Oahu in Hawaii, It was the first time I had ever seen azure in person. The name is almost as beautiful as the color.

Regular and well-defined monitoring guarantees smooth running of SQL Server. Based on your goals related to monitoring, you should select the appropriate tools for monitoring. For that you have to know the tools supported by SQL Server. Microsoft SQL Server offers number of tools that can be used for performance monitoring and tuning SQL Server databases. Here is the list of tools available;
- Activity MonitorThis tool can be opened with Management Studio and it gives detail view of current activities. It includes five sections: Overview, Processes, Resource Waits, Data File I/O, Recent Expensive Queries.
- Dynamic Management View and FunctionsThese views and functions return state information that can be used to monitor the health of the instance, diagnose problems and tune performance. There are two type of views and functions: Server-scoped and Database-scoped. These are one of the best tools for monitoring, specifically on ad-hoc monitoring.
- Performance MonitorThis Windows administrative tool allows to track resource usage on Microsoft Operating System and can be used to monitor information specific to SQL Server. This is used as a monitoring tool for identifying trends over a period of time and as a ad-hoc monitoring for identifying resource bottleneck responsible for performance issue.
- SQL Server ProfilerThis graphical tool allows to capture a trace of all events occurred in SQL Server. This is heavily used for seeing current T-SQL activities and captured info can be saved for further analysis. This tool also offers the captured events to be replayed.** This tool has been deprecated in SQL Server 2012, instead use Extended events for capturing and Distributed replay for replaying events.
- SQL TraceThis is T-SQL way that provides same SQL Server Profiler tracing facility. Since it does not provide GUI, it is bit difficult to set it up but it is not as heavy as Profiler and leverages T-SQL features.
- Database Engine Tuning AdvisorThis tool facilitates getting queries or workload analyzed and getting recommendations on indexes and statistics. This is a useful tool for determining the best index for queries and identifying less-efficient indexes added.
- Distributed Replay
This is an advanced tool that support replaying captured workload across distributed set of servers. This is useful for accessing the impact of SQL Sever upgrades, hardware upgrades and operating system upgrades.
- SQL Server Extended Events
This is a highly scalable and configurable architecture that offers a lightweight system with an UI for collecting information to troubleshoot SQL Server.
- SQL Server Data Collection
This is an automated system for collecting and storing and reporting performance data for multiple SQL Server instances.
- SQL Server Utility Control Point
This is a centralized management portal for monitoring multiple instances of SQL Server based on specific collection sets.
- Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
This is an enterprise level infrastructure management solution that uses management packs to collect performance and health info from windows and application services such as SQL Server. SQL Server has a management pack that enables to create exception-driven events for resolving specific issues.

How to make vase from glass bottle - recycling glass bottle
Glass bottle vase decorating
Alcohol bottles are very attractive. I just don't want to thrash them out instead make something beautiful out of it would be a good idea so I decided to making a vase by painting the bottle. And it is fairly simple using simple oil or acryclic paints. Make something creative by using unused items like empty alcohol bottles. so check out glass bottle decorating.
1. First of all take the sticker off from the bottle sometimes it is not that easy so dip the bottle in soapy water for some time then scrubs it out.
2. Dry the bottle and start painting the bottle with acrylic or oil paint with the colour of your choice. I used maroon colour. Let it dry complete it may take few hours.
3. Now to give the texture to the vase use the hard brush and use some different colour to give shade to the vase from top to bottom. I used dark brown colour here to give it a wooden look.
free shipping on orders over $25
Available in 10 different colors
4. Take some thick colour so the texture coming out will look good.
5. Put some flowers and here you go…
Tip: Cover the bottle neck with the leaves.
Interesting! I love it when people recycle (upcycle) stuff instead of just tossing it to the bin. Very creative!
Ill give you another idea for texture, try using a sponge for a blurred effect, like a butterfly with wings look.
It's not easy but can look great with practice, fissure lines through the vase give it a casual but elegant look also.

Despite the controversies, despite any reason I should be protesting or boycotting, despite our two countries history, despite anything negative anyone might have to say about this kind of international competition…I, for one, am so excited for the start of the Olympics.
The hopes and dreams, the personal stories, the competition, the very possibilities…I get swept away and am 100% okay with it. In fact, I welcome and actively encourage it!
Go USA!

Part of getting ready for a big run involves eating right. To have enough energy and not be weighed down, runners should think about their general type of diet. It might be a change in the norm, but if it's too much of a departure, it could seem overwhelming. This is all a good reason to work with a professional nutritionist to develop a good plan.
Determining the right diet can only be one part of the plan. New runners may have to think about snacks and casual foods as well. There's a relationship between your general weight and the way you may feel in the midst of race, too.
In the end, racing nutrition is probably best done in context with other improvement measures.

This is the blog of my Art Gallery "Au Bonheur du Jour", in the historical center of Paris, 11 rue Chabanais (2e arrondissement).
Since April 13, 1999, my Gallery offers a unique collection of vintage photographs, drawings and paintings, and curiosa, depicting the so many facets of the art of life and the art of love, from the end of XIXth c. to the last decades of the XXth c.
From 1999 to 2009, I conceived and organized more than forty exhibitions, displaying works of many vintage or modern artists who explored the innumerable ways to desire and to love, between men and women, between women, between men.
Von Gloeden, Pluschow and Galdi, but also Lehnert and Landrock, Jean Boullet, Yves Paradis, Paul Smara, Gaston Goor, Roland Caillaux, René Bolliger, Jean-Xavier de Combeloup and so many other original artists... Between East and West, between Tunis and Taormina, my Gallery is a starting point for so many travels, in all the territories of human desire and of its memory.
I created this blog to expose my work to a wider audience and to invite you to visit my Art Gallery, in Paris, or in this virtual place.

The riots that are ongoing in London has everyone riled up, but a new blog by the name of Photoshoplooter decided to take things lightly.
For those who haven't heard, the riots in London started when Mark Duggan was shot and killed during an arrest attempt. This created a stir and sparked a huge protest that ended up turning ugly. A blog by the name of Photoshoplooter is making light of the situation by poking fun at the rioters who had their pictures taken. Each photograph has been digitally manipulated to parody the ongoing crisis. Whether it's putting Elmo and Big Bird running happily along the streets, or a Justin Bieber album in the hands of a rioter, just about everything has been done to make the photographs less serious. Perhaps you can get creative and submit your own as well.

Who is he? Where does he play?
He is Pescara's diminutive central-midfielder who stands at a teeny 5ft 6 inches (167 cm), aged just 20 and already with a cap for the very-talented Colombian national side, he is recognised as one of the most promising talents in world football.
Great stuff, but seriously small, does that phase him?
It doesn't seem to. Mainly popping up in the attacking midfield area, his immediate instinct is to get his head up and look for the through ball, refusing to be stopped by the physical specimens of the Italian Serie A as he has created 19 chances, assisting 2 goals, from 12 starts this season. He is stereotypical of the South American creative playmaker, dropping deep into pockets of space to move the ball forward and link the play fluidly in attacking areas. He has attempted 719 passes this campaign, a superb rate for just 12 appearances, completing 87% of them, suggestive of his ability to keep the ball moving.
So an attacking midfielder then? In the number 10 mould?
His primary role is to pop up in areas between the lines to create chances, though he usually drops deep to use his technical qualities in order to carry the ball forward. He also averages 3 shots per game, gaining a reputation for shooting from long range with a superbly gifted left-foot. Blessed with wonderful technique, vision and a dangerous set-piece delivery, he really is a threat with the providing ball.
Do you have any third person testimony?
"He is a young man with great talent. We have high hopes for him. He has made his name at Pescara and we want to defend him from these [transfer] rumours. He needs to have some continuity and play regularly, enhancing his quality." - Daniele Sebastiani, Pescara president, January 2013.
Will he stay with Pescara this summer?
Manchester United watched him in the South American under-20 Championship where he finished joint-top scorer with 5 goals, so they could have a move for the youngster in the pipeline. Links to Juventus and Lokomotiv Moscow have also been reported, whilst the player has personally suggested he would like to join the Andrea Stramaccioni revolution at Inter Milan.
Udinese have also been impressed with his form in Pescara
It is believed that Pescara would demand around 10 million Euros for his services, even though it looks unlikely they can hold on to the talented South American for much longer. However, with the under-20 World Cup looming in the summer, plus a potential call-up to the senior competition looking increasingly likely for Brazil next year, hey may stay in western Italy for a little longer.

According to The New York Times, a three-month-old Indian baby lies at the heart of a medical conundrum, as practitioners attempt to explain a case of alleged spontaneous human combustion. The parents claim their child to have combusted on four separate occasions.
The baby boy was born in a small village in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and was the second child of two local farmers.
After a successful delivery, the deliriously proud parents' celebrations were cut short. Nine days later, the mother of the baby, a Ms. Karnan, stepped out of her mother's home to attend to her young daughter when she heard her baby scream in agony.
A neighbor, alerted by the shrill cries of the child, peered through into the hut to determine the source of the commotion. It was at this point that Ms. Karnan received the chilling words that no parent should ever have to hear, "…your baby is on fire."
The child's husband leapt into action, dousing the flame with a towel, before the couple headed to the hospital, in Villipuram.
As the months toppled, the same event transpired again and again and again. The baby had allegedly spontaneously combusted on four separate occasions. The parents' woes didn't end here, however, as they were forcefully ejected from their local village; residents were suspicious the baby might turn the entire region into smoke and ashes.
Ultimately, the downtrodden parents were offered treatment at a medical hospital in Kilpauk, following the ensuing media storm. Local doctors continue to deliberate over the very extraordinary possibility of human combustion.
Spontaneous human combustion is an incredibly rare disorder, where no obvious source of ignition is identified. A study, entitled Spontaneous human combustion: a sometimes incomprehensible phenomenon, describes how portions of the victim's body become badly damaged, whereas the surrounding environment remains almost completely unaffected. In addition, the researchers discovered cases where victims were only partially damaged, whilst other cases would depict entire corpses burnt to ashes. Comparatively, another research article, So-called Spontaneous Human Combustion, established that many of those involved had been consuming alcohol, and were positioned near a source of heat.
A number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mysterious disorder. In this incidence, doctors have theorized the source of combustion to be internal. Methane is manufactured by bacteria in the intestinal tract, called methanogens. These bacteria ferment the food, releasing combustible methane.
According to The Times of India, burns specialist Doctor Kalpesh Gajiwala ruminates over the plausible ignition mechanisms:
"Let us say if the child is covered with a silk cloth which can generate static electricity, the combustible gas and the electricity can cause fire."
Aside from this theory, biologist Brian J. Ford conducted an investigation into the influence of acetone accumulation within the human body. Acetone may build up when an individual goes on a low carbohydrate diet, or consumes excessive quantities of alcohol over a prolonged period. He devised human replicas, produced from pork belly, which were covered in the solvent substance and ignited them. Ford found stark similarities between the remains observed during his experiments and corpses described following real-life examples of spontaneous human combustion.
It bares note, the "fire baby," as many in the media have dubbed the youngster, did not have unusual levels of acetone in his bloodstream.
However, these are simply proposed hypotheses, unsubstantiated by scientific research. Generally, the scientific community remains incredibly sceptical over the likelihood of spontaneous human combustion. This level of cynicism has only increased amongst the media, following the finding that Ms. Karnan's mother resides in a village that previously witnessed the destruction of many of its homes, due to flammable phosphorous material being used during construction.
So, it seems the medical mystery goes on, with healthcare experts and researchers unable to reach a consensus over the matter of spontaneous human combustion. Following the baby's fourth time alight, the parents have been offered counseling, whilst their baby receives treatment for his burns.

Dotcom, who is fighting extradition to the US on charges of internet piracy, says the new site allows users to control who can access uploaded files. This would mean that Mega would not have access to the files, which could strip them of any possible liability for enabling users to distribute pirated content.
Despite his legal problems, the multimillionaire has continued to be supported by his Filipina wife Mona. A Reuters photo showed Mona, wearing a red jacket and skirt, at the Mega launch at their mansion in Auckland, New Zealand on January 20.
The pretty Filipina is an ex-model who has been married to Dotcom for several years now.
On her Twitter account (@MonaDotcom), she tweeted about the Mega launch and her husband's birthday. "Happy Birthday to the BEST, most loving and sweet husband in the world!!! @KimDotcom So proud of you! I will always be your no.1 fan," she said.
Mona is also active on Instagram, where she posts photos of her family. One photo shows the Filipina with a white Birkin bag.
According to various news reports, Kim met Mona Verga in the Philippines in November 2007. They married in July 2009, a day after her 21st birthday They now have five children, including twin baby girls.
The Dotcom family lives in an estate just outside of Auckland, which was where Kim was arrested last year. New Zealand's elite special tactics forces arrived by helicopter on the mansion's grounds to arrest him on copyright charges.
During the raid, the police seized numerous items. The New Zealand Herald reported last May 2012 that Mona applied with the court for the return of her personal belongings, including a G55 Mercedes, Christian Colin sculptures, a Chanel diamond wristwatch and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual watch. She said these were gifts from her husband.
In a recent interview with Reuters, Kim admitted he and his wife still panic when they hear loud noises.
"Every time you hear a helicopter, you automatically think, 'Oh, another raid', so it's something that stays with you for a long time," he said.

IndyCar drivers glad to be back at Milwaukee
WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — Eager to return to a historically significant track that consistently delivers competitive racing, IndyCar drivers enthusiastically welcomed the Milwaukee Mile back to the series schedule this year.
Now they're hoping fans feel the same way and turn out for the Milwaukee IndyFest, a two-day event highlighted by Saturday's race that is being promoted by former driver and current IndyCar team owner Michael Andretti.
It's a lifeline for a track that has hosted racing events since 1903 but has fallen on hard financial times after several different promoter groups piled up big debts and bad feelings.
"With all the problems, it looked like we weren't coming back," Dario Franchitti said. "Many of the drivers that I spoke to were very disappointed that it looked like it wasn't going to happen. (It was) a good effort by the IndyCar series and Michael Andretti and his team to put this together.
"Just from a pure competition point, it's great to be back in Milwaukee. I think it provides amazing racing. It's a track we all love, and there's so much history. I think in order to build IndyCar racing back to where it needs to be, we need places like this."
Milwaukee once was a cornerstone of the IndyCar schedule, hosting a race on the weekend immediately after the Indianapolis 500. But financial problems left the track without an IndyCar or NASCAR event in 2010.
Another promoter brought IndyCar back to Milwaukee last year, but the race drew a lackluster crowd. NASCAR's Nationwide and Truck Series haven't returned; Nationwide instead races next weekend at Road America, a picturesque four-mile road course a little more than an hour north of Milwaukee.
Milwaukee initially was left off the 2012 IndyCar schedule until a last-ditch commitment by Andretti's group to take another swing at making it a success. Michael's son, Marco, who races for the Andretti Autosport team, said it would mean a lot to win Saturday.
"Obviously, having dad promote it is very special, and loads of history here with my family," Marco Andretti said. "And I need a win, just being selfish."
Michael Andretti has said his group has studied mistakes made by past promoters.
"This place has so much potential," Ryan Hunter-Reay said. "It's a part of IndyCar racing.
Milwaukee and IndyCar go hand-in-hand. This is the right opportunity to make this happen. I don't think last year was. This is the right opportunity. If it doesn't work this time, it's not meant to be. I think it's going to work out. It's good for the series."
Drawing on Milwaukee's longstanding tradition of hosting neighborhood and ethnic festivals all summer, Andretti's group hopes to make the weekend about more than racing. The infield is filled with activities, including a zipline, a Ferris wheel and a family-friendly area. The musical act Smash Mouth will play after Saturday's race.
Ticket prices were reduced; this year's highest-priced ticket is $59, after topping out at $80 last year.
And instead of taking place on the Sunday of Father's Day weekend last year, the race now is on Saturday.
"I think having it on Saturday is a wicked play," driver James Hinchcliffe said. "Obviously, it's Fathers' Day weekend, but it's not the day itself. So I think that was a really smart move. And again, this race got added to the calendar last minute, and you look around, even just here on a Thursday, what they've built, the amount of time they've done it, I think it's super impressive."
Friday's qualifying session will have an additional level of intrigue after IndyCar officials have issued penalties to at least six cars for unapproved engine changes. Will Power and Scott Dixon — who are first and second in the series points standings — and Justin Wilson, Mike Conway, Takuma Sato and Josef Newgarden all face 10-spot starting grid penalties.
IndyCar has established mileage minimums teams must hit before they are allowed to change engines, an attempt to help teams save money by forcing them to make their engines last longer.
It's also the first run on a short oval for this year's new-spec IndyCar chassis, although several drivers have tested at Milwaukee and no major issues are expected.
"Based on the test here, I think we're going to see another exciting race," Hinchcliffe said.
"This has always been a track that's sort of had a good ebb and flow to it, tires fall off (wear down) a lot during a stint here, and you see guys that maybe were really quick at the beginning of a stint fall off at the end. And it always provides good racing. So I think based on what we saw here in the test, we're going to see more of that."

After five years, tragedy brings Hannah Casey back to Hurricane Creek to bury what's left of her family. She's flunking out of college, haunted by scandal, and the only person who cares is Sean Whitlow, an irresistible bad boy with a soft spot for her. The problem? He's her dead sister's ex.
Sean doesn't bleed red, he bleeds motor oil. During the week, he struggles to turn his auto repair shop into a profitable business. But when Saturday night rolls around, he's the reigning stock-car king of the local race track. He doesn't know how to lose–or how to walk away and leave Hannah alone with her grief.
Between her grades and her wealthy family's dark secrets, Hannah's barely holding her life together. And the last thing Sean needs is to get tangled up with another Casey girl. As the attraction between them spins out of control, they'll either find a love with no limits–or go up in flames.
I couldn't really made up my mind regarding to my liking to this story. It's not hat I hate it but I don't particularly love it either.
There are a few things... err... maybe a lot of things that I guess a little too much in this story, whether it's too coincidence or way too forced. For example, why is Hannah met Sean, I understand that it is a small city, but there must be some other people, right?
And it's not that there were attraction between them anyway... from Hannah sure, that he's her first crush, but it only looks like that Hannah threw herself his way and he's without thinking just accept. It's not that they have previous history together, it's with her sister, Sean has history, a completely different person, and his best friend, Gibb, came on judging her already?
While she didn't seem do anything when it was 5 years before.
I don't want to be cold hearted and being not understanding of her problem or sadness or disappointment or whatever she's in with the whole situation of her family, but it looks like that she didn't do anything to change the situation either... She just accepted but in the end complaining of her miserable life she thought she's in.
She complained of being forced to do what she didn't happy with but second her father died and her mother's in a comma, she become rebellious. Rebel to whom? Punishing her mother, who's in a comma, to a revenge? Seems immature to me and useless too.
I don't know what happened to her grandmother, maybe I missed it and I might also "missed" what was her grandmother wrong... that made her also seems not happy with her grandmother.
And then what's with her with being so secretive?
I don't know if Sean understood the situation of Hannah that I assume being a virgin or just didn't really care, but I don't get the idea why Hannah didn't come clean and Sean acknowledged the fact. I knew Hannah is being careful, a bit worry of pregnancy and have a story to hide, but ignorance from Sean of the reason why Hannah seemed not ready to have sex with him, just made them lack of chemistry or feeling to each other.
The story ends with Hannah's decision to stay living in Hurricane Creek despite of she lost her heritage to her parents' debt. Just like that she quit her education because she didn't like it, even though she's on a scholarship for that. Since she didn't have money anymore, she's got herself a job and started a new study. And then she and Sean become a couple after solving a misunderstanding between them.
I gave the story 3 out of 5 stars.

My sister got married last week (congratulations, by the way) and Fat Mama made (among many, MANY things/foods) the wedding cake. It was beautiful – even though Fat Mama didn't like it, but isn't that always the artist's way? Hyper-critical of their own work, I mean.
The cake Fat Mama made and decorated for my baby shower. I know, and I got to eat it, too! Via FatGirl
And even better than being beautiful, it was also delicious!!! We've all been to weddings (90%, at least) where the cake looked great and tasted like bantha poodoo. That would never do for a Fat Family Wedding. The bottom, middle, and top layers were Fat Lita's (my mom's mom) classic white cake filled with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream. The other two layers were Fat Mama's chocolate version of Fat Lita's cake, filled with whipped peanut butter cream cheese.
We weren't allowed to take pictures of the 'ugly cake', hence the sneak attack and random shoulder. Via FatGirl
Fat Hubby and I ate 6 pieces. At least. It was so good, it inspired me to start baking again when we got home. Now, I can hear Fat Girl family members pricking up their ears, thinking I'm about to reveal Lita's recipe – I'm not.
It's stored with Coca-Cola's recipe – lock and key, baby. Via stacresearch.com
This past weekend, I made Butter Chocolate cupcakes filled with Raspberry Mousse and topped with Chocolate Whipped Cream. Here's THAT recipe:
The Cupcakes (makes ~48)
- 1 box devil's food cake mix + the stuff the box calls for to make it
- 1 box golden butter cake mix + the stuff the box calls for to make it
- In a large bowl, dump in both cake mixes at once.
- Add all box-required ingredients and blend with hand mixer or in stand mixer with whisk attachment until batter lightens in color and gets poofy (almost exactly the color and consistency of a Wendy's chocolate Frosty).
- Evenly distribute batter amongst lined cupcake pans and bake according to package directions.
- Allow to cool completely before filling and frosting.
The Filling (enough for ~48 cupcakes)
- ½ cup seedless raspberry jelly
- ½ stick of butter, softened (4 tbsp)
- 1 8oz pkg cream cheese, softened
- In a medium bowl, blend all ingredients with a hand mixer or a stand mixer with whip attachment until completely smooth and uniform in color.
- Place filling in a 21" pastry bag fitted with a large round tip.
- Pipe 1-2 tbsp of filling into each cupcake.
The Frosting (enough for ~48 cupcakes)
- 1 quart Rich's Bettercreme (or similar) Chocolate Non-Dairy Whipped Topping
- 1 quart whipping cream
- 4 tsp chocolate extract
- 4 tbsp powdered sugar
- If using RICH'S, follow pkg directions.
- If using whipping cream, chill bowl and beaters in freezer for 10m.
- Whip cream just until it begins to thicken, then add the extract and sugar.
- Continue whipping until soft peaks form. DO NOT over-whip, or you'll have chocolate butter floating in chocolate buttermilk. Double Ick.
- Frost cupcakes as you desire.
All mine got eaten before I could take a picture, so I stole this pic from the interwebz. Via sweetestkitchen.com

The Birmingham man on the trail of legendary Bigfoot
The net is closing on fabled American beast Bigfoot – thanks to scientific data collated by a Birmingham man. Toby Langford has used his maths and physics background to track the half ape, half mountain man. And the 45-year-old, who, until recently, worked in the payment department of an insurance company, has posted videos of his findings on YouTube.
Armed with the data, the Great Barr statistician and his partner Marie will head to America to search for Bigfoot. Despite his painstaking research, Toby, a Birmingham University physics graduate, is yet to be convinced Bigfoot is more than an American myth. "Some people believe in Bigfoot, some people don't," says Toby, "I'm sitting on the fence. "That's the problem with our species. If a video is too clear, you think it's fake; if it's too grainy, it's fake. "I think it's very difficult to dismiss eye-witness accounts. These people know they haven't seen a bear because it's seven feet tall and standing upright.

The Growl, Halewood, North West, 1983
This Account came in through the Beasts of Britain Blog: "Hi there… Happy New Year, I'm not sure what this was but here's a possible encounter that happened to myself and some friends when we were children.
At the time this happened I was around 11 yr old and this happened around 1983/4…
I live in Liverpool UK and grew up in a place called Halewood. There is a fairly large woodland that is intersected by a disused rail line. As far back as I can recall the railway has been out of use, we played there a lot as kids. The woods were a creepy place but lots of us would regularly frequent them, climbing trees or riding our bikes, just doing normal kid stuff, making a racket most day's. In some parts of the wood the trees grew closely together and were very thick, making it hard to manoeuvre through them, or even enter into them in some places…

Bear spotted in Rendlesham Forest
FIRST it was UFOs, then Claws the big cat, now it seems Suffolk's weird and wonderful countryside could be hiding a bear!
Three visitors to the notoriously paranormal Rendlesham Forest have contacted The Evening Star to say they have spotted the creatures roaming in the woods in the last few days. Already UFO experts firmly believe Suffolk is a portal for visiting alien craft – and flying saucers are hovering in the county's skies daily.

Wirral Werewolves Globe Article. Girls changes to a wolf whilst in labour???
WELCOME to Haunted Wirral, a feature series written by world famous psychic researcher, Tom Slemen for the Globe.
In this latest tale, Tom explores Wirral's werewolves…
No rational system of explanation can currently throw any light on the werewolf phenomenon.
How can a person change into an animal and afterwards revert to a human being again?
Our DNA contains the DNA of many 'lower' animals, and believe it or not, when the human genome was finally sequenced in 2003, it was discovered that humans, dogs and wolves share 84% of the same DNA.
In theory, a werewolf could be created by genetically modifying a human with lupine DNA, but this would take time, whereas the bona fide werewolf undergoes metamorphosis within the minute.

A lot of new activity today, I saw at least two big trees that were pushed over and also a large pile of Fir tree branches on the ground, almost as if arranged in some sort of bedding or maybe for some other purpose? I also noticed some of the trees have had their bark stripped off as well? As I walked the area I also found what looked like two makeshift shelters? I have found out recently someone has bought a patch of the wood in zone 2 and is building a log cabin, his property has been fenced off and judging by the damage around the fence line something has not taken kindly to this. Im unsure what the "structures" I found are and I would welcome any input from the readers.
