5 Ways to Shut Down Emotional Eating
After a bad day, do you seek solace in ice cream, cheesecake, or whipped cream straight from the can? You may keep eating fatty foods when you're feeling down because you're less likely to taste the fat in food, according to new research from the University of Wurzburg in Germany.
After a bad day, do you seek solace in ice cream, cheesecake, or whipped cream straight from the can? You may keep eating fatty foods when you're feeling down because you're less likely to taste the fat in food, according to new research from the University of Wurzburg in Germany.
In the study, scientists asked a group of volunteers to sample a variety of creamy drinks that contained different amounts of fat. Before tasting the treats, the study subjects were shown three different videos. The first depicted a happy scene, the second sad, and the third neutral. The humdrum video had no influence on the volunteers' taste buds, but after watching the two emotional clips, the participants were less able to tell the drinks apart. The lesson: emotions impact our sensory perceptions of food. And eating anything—when what you really need has nothing to do with food—is a pattern that if broken, can dramatically transform your health, and your waistline. If you're open to trying, here are five strategies to put into action.

Let it out
A friend once told me that her therapist advised her to go to a garage sale or thrift store, buy some cheap dishes, take them into her back yard, and smash them to bits. When I asked if she did it, she said she had, just with one dish, and it was one of the most liberating moments of her life. Whether you're walking around with anger, sadness, or anxiety bottled up inside, allowing it to fester ups the chances that you'll use food to detach, or stuff it back down. For this reason, I often advise my clients to find healthy ways to release their feelings, like watching a tearjerker to have a good cry, or furiously scrubbing the tub to let out aggression. I'm not a huge fan of Freud, but I do love his quote, "Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth in uglier ways." Truth.

Don't multi-soothe
If you find yourself drifting into the kitchen during a TV commercial to snatch that pint of Cherry Garcia you've been trying not to think about, stay put. Sit in a chair and eat the ice cream without distractions. It will probably feel incredibly awkward, but that's the point. Inside your comfort cocoon, it's easy to lose track of how fast and how much you're eating, or that you're even eating at all. Uncoupling these behaviors and just eating is like turning the lights on, which can lead to eating far less, or realizing that eating really isn't the best way to cope. Powerful.

Distance yourself
Over the years I've had numerous clients tell me that they can't keep certain foods around, because if they're there, they'll eat them, especially when they're emotional. But unless you live alone, it can be impossible to completely banish all "high risk" foods. One thing that may help, however, is making them harder to get to. Research shows (and my own experience confirms) that the fewer steps you have to go through to get to a food, the more likely you are to eat it, and vice versa. So, stashing candy or cookies on a higher shelf, wrapped in another bag or inside of a sealed container, really does diminish the chances of eating it. It also provides the opportunity to consider other options. One client told me that this trick resulted in a major breakthrough. She said, "I thought to myself well, I can either go in the closet, get the step stool, and pull down that old Halloween candy, or call my friend, and in that moment, picking up the phone just seemed easier." For her, this felt like a huge triumph, especially the next morning, when she woke up without a food hangover—or regret.

Prevent the spiral
One of the biggest challenges many of my clients face is not letting a small indulgence snowball into a big binge. Countless clients have told me, "After I went off track, I figured what the heck, I might as well keep eating." This all or nothing tendency is especially common among people with a history of dieting, and ending it can be incredibly transformative, both emotionally and physically. If you're perfectionistic, it can feel like there's little difference between one "bad" meal and one "bad" day, but that's not the truth. An analogy I use often is debt. If you were on a strict budget to get out of debt, and you spontaneously spent an extra $100, it wouldn't make sense to then go on a spending spree and charge hundreds more to your credit card, right? If you did, you'd just dig a deeper hole that would take longer to get out of, and that's exactly what happens with food. This very pattern is why many women remain roughly the same size for years, despite constantly being on diets. If that sounds familiar, know that you can break the cycle. Many of my clients discover that after a short detour, it is possible to get right back on the road, rather than getting lost.

Structure your time
For most of my clients, the risk of eating emotionally is greater on the weekends, when they have hours of unstructured time. If you're in the same boat, plan a project or activity you enjoy, and build in a deadline. For example, if you're making something (jewelry, crafts, etc.), plan to give it to a friend or family member on a specific date. And once you've finished a project, start another. This lifestyle change can result in finally ending what some of my clients refer to as â"two day food orgies" and add to your quality of life in numerous ways.

Miroslav Klose scored three minutes from time to earn SS Lazio a crucial 3-2 win at rock-bottom Lecce on Saturday and move the Roman club up to second in Serie A.
Later on Saturday, Inter climbed clear of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over Fiorentina, who were showing some early festive generosity.
Mistakes from Cesare Natali and Manuael Pasqual handed Inter a pair of gift goals for Giampaolo Pazzini and Japan international fullback Yuto Nagatomo.
At Lecce, Klose scored a brace and provided the pass for Lorik Cana to add Lazio's other goal, while David Di Michele and Stefano Ferrario netted for the hosts.
Klose's brace took him to eight league goals this season and brought him level with AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic, third in the scoring charts.
The result ensured the capital-based club would remain among the front-runners after this weekend's round of matches.
Lazio coach Edy Reja paid tribute to his German forward, but admitted his side had been fortunate to win.
"We know Klose's strength and if you leave him alone for a moment in the area he's unforgiving," Reja told SkySport. "Today, I can say without a problem that we struggled and we were kissed by luck, Lecce deserved at least a draw."
Lecce may have come into the game bottom of the table, but they showed no hint of an inferiority complex. From the start they were on top and they earned a penalty after Di Michele beat the offside trap and was brought down by Federico Marchetti's rash dash from his line.
The former West Ham United striker dusted himself down and dispatched the spot-kick.
Marchetti may have been at fault in giving away the penalty, but he redeemed himself to a certain degree with a pair of fine saves from Luis Murial and Di Michele.
Then, out of nothing, the visitors equalized when Mobido Diakite climbed highest to win a header and Klose turned sharply to guide the ball home from close range.
Yet still it was Lecce who threatened as Murial cut inside a defender, but then shot wastefully wide of the near post from 12m.
Lazio may have been holding on at times in the first half, but they came out with a bang after the break.
Cana burst from midfield, played a one-two with Klose, and then shot across Massimiliano Benassi, but by the hour-mark the hosts had leveled as Ruben Olivera swung a free-kick into the box and Murial hooked the half-cleared ball back into the danger area, where Ferrario was one of four players lining up to knock the ball home.
Then on 87 minutes, France forward Djibril Cisse crossed from the right and Klose ghosted across his marker to flick a glancing header inside the post.
Inter welcomed back Brazilian defensive pair Lucio and Maicon for the visit of la Viola, who were missing crucial pair Riccardo Montolivo and Stevan Jovetic.
Inter took the lead four minutes from the break when Fiorentina old-boy Pazzini pounced on a mistake by Natali to flick the ball past Artur Boruc.
Four minutes into the second period, Pasqual's tentative clearance hit a charging Nagatomo and the ball went in.
"This isn't the match that reawakens us, but I'm satisfied with the way we played," Inter coach Claudio Ranieri said. "It was a match full of desire, everyone was committed."
The win moved Inter from 16th to ninth and a victory in their game in hand away to Genoa tomorrow could even see them move as high as sixth.

The Liberal Democrats have been at the forefront of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) equality for decades. We have the best record in Parliament of any political party on LGBT+ equality issues, and we continue to develop and promote progressive policies for LGBT+ people. The Liberal Democrat Federal Constitution makes our position clear:
The Liberal Democrats exist to build and safeguard a fair, free and open society, in which we seek to balance the fundamental values of liberty, equality and community, and in which no-one shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity.
Liberal Democrat Federal Constitution
Unlike the big two parties, the Liberal Democrats' LGBT+ equality body is an official part of the party. We aren't an external body trying to lobby Lib Dem MPs to support LGBT+ equality - we have powers to put Liberal Democrat policy ideas on the Conference floor, and have them supported by the party's ordinary membership, without relying on the good graces or whims of a bigwig.
We use that power to make sure that for decades, the Lib Dems have had the most progressive policies on LGBT equality. Many of our policies have eventually become law, as the other parties look to us for ideas to appeal to the "pink vote". We have a good record of introducing LGBT equality legislation through Private Members' Bills and amendments, and the best voting record in the Houses of Parliament.
... then please support the Liberal Democrats as we build on our proud history of LGBT equality into a bright future for all!
Get Involved and support LGBT+ Lib Dems
In autumn 1975, the Liberal Party (as the party was then called) passed a resolution in favour of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality's Law Reform Bill, and called upon the party's peers and MPs to support the Bill in Parliament. The bill was the first proposed legislation to talk about full equality for homosexuals, including equalising the age of consent for gay sex (which was 21 in those days).
This makes the Lib Dems the first party to support full equality for homosexuals.
When the Conservative's Local Government Bill's provisions to stop the "promotion" of homosexuality were introduced, the Lib Dems opposed the legislation from the outset. We were clear that teachers must be allowed to support pupils who come out to them, and schools must be allowed to provide information that presents homosexuality as valid and normal - something we're still fighting for over 20 years later!
In Parliamentary debates rife with Tory homophobia and hatred, Lib Dem spokesman Simon Hughes made the party's liberal position of equality clear:
It epitomises the way in which Conservative Members have sought to raise the spectre of local authorities, especially those supported by other political parties, campaigning for the mass transformation - if that is biologically and genetically possible - of the land into a cast of rampaging homosexuals.
I do not believe that homosexuals want their sexuality to be promoted any more than anyone else does. They would argue not for discrimination in their favour, but for equal treatment with everyone else. They want their sexuality to be accepted and to have equal access to jobs, housing, social and medical help, advice and particularly the sort of advice and counselling that take place during education and growing up.
We should allow local authorities as the agents of Government throughout Britain to teach that homosexuality is to be accepted.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has made his position on Section 28 clear:
Gay rights, like all minority rights, should by now have become unquestionable. But in practice they are still too often treated like privileges, falling in and out of favour with politicians. David Cameron's recent apology over Section 28 is a prime example. Leadership is about speaking out on issues when they matter, not simply when you judge public opinion has moved.
Not one Tory voted against the introduction of Section 28 - and not one Liberal voted for it!
Repeal of Section 28 was a pledge in the 1997 Liberal Democrat election manifesto. The Liberal Democrats in the Lords unanimously supported provisions in the Local Government Bill 2000 to repeal Section 28. Unfortunately, almost all Conservative peers, along with some Labour, voted for a Tory amendment to remove these provisions.
In the Commons, the Lib Dems supported the removal of the Lords amendment. Back in the Lords, the removal was supported unanimously by the Lib Dems, but rejected by almost all Tories and some Labour peers - and Section 28 remained law.
In 2003, the Lib Dems tabled an amendment to the Local Government Bill to repeal Section 28, and voted unanimously in favour of it. Lib Dem spokesperson Ed Davey said:
It is time the House grew up, realised how our constituents are living out there, stopped hiding in the past, and removed this odious legislation from the statute book once and for all.
In 1994, the Lib Dems unanimously supported amendments to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Bill to reduce the age of consent for homosexual sex to 16, bringing it in line with heterosexual sex. The amendment was crushed by a vast majority of Tories, with Labour split.
A second vote immediately afterwards lowered the age of consent to 18, which was again supported by the Liberal Democrats. During the debate, spokesman Simon Hughes said:
There is an absolutely overwhelming requirement to be just to people for whom the law at the moment is unjust.
Lib Dem peer Lord Lester introduced a Civil Partnerships Bill in 2002, supported by Stonewall. The bill recieved wide support but was withdrawn at the Government's request, because they intended to introduce their own legislation.
It took two years for the Government's Civil Partnerships Bill to reach Parliament. Lib Dem Steve Webb MP pushed the Government as to whether, like Lord Lester's bill, it would allow civil partnerships between mixed-sex couples, but the Government ruled it out.
The Liberal Democrats were the only major party to unanimously support the Civil Partnerships Bill in the Commons second reading. Alistair Carmichael said:
The Liberal Democrats are pleased to give the Bill a warm and unequivocal welcome. We see it as an opportunity to offer the same rights and opportunities to people in same-sex relationships as are currently offered to people in civil marriages of mixed sex. It is an opportunity to offer fair and equal treatment to all in our society today, regardless of their sexual orientation.
The Liberal Democrats supported amendments to the Adoption and Children Act 2002 to allow adoption by unmarried couples, including same-sex couples. We unanimously opposed Conservative attempts in the Lords to reject these amendments.
Allowing trans people to change the gender on their birth certificate had been Liberal Democrat party policy since 1998. It was six years until the Gender Recognition Act came along, and it was wholeheartedly supported by the Lib Dems. The Tories in the House of Lords tried to destroy the legislation but were opposed by the Liberal Democrats. The Lib Dems also opposed a second Tory amendment to allow religious organisations to discriminate against trans people.
The Lib Dems submitted an amendment that would allow trans people to keep marriage arrangements with their partner after a legal gender reassignment. This would have saved couples from having to divorce and get a civil partnership (which were not yet legal at the time of the debate!) The amendment was unanimously supported by the Lib Dems, but voted down near-unanimously by Labour and Tory peers. During committee debates on the matter, Evan Harris remarked:
My party's position on the matter is clear ... The question is one of a balance of harms. I have to ask the Minister: what harm will result from the creation of, even as he sees it, a very small number of same-sex marriages? ... Will the earth blow up? Will the sky fall in? Will the fabric of society be undermined? No, it will not ... There will be a terrible dilemma for individuals-for the sake of legislative tidiness.
The majority of Liberal Democrat MPs rejected two amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 which would have denied fertility treatment for women in the absence of a male parent or role model. These amendments were overwhelmingly supported by the Conservatives.
In 2008, the Liberal Democrats adopted official policy that LGBT people with genuine claims of persecution over their sexuality or gender identity should be granted asylum in this country rather than face imprisonment, torture or murder. This was in response to several Labour attempts to deport several LGBT asylum seekers, including Medhi Kazemi whose case was supported by Lib Dem MP Simon Hughes, and Israfil Shiri who committed suicide rather than face deportation. Chris Huhne MP said:
It is totally unacceptable for Britain to be deporting people to countries where they will face persecution, torture or death merely because of their sexual orientation. This country has a proud tradition of providing sanctuary to those fleeing tyranny and oppression. It is about time that practice was extended to gay and lesbian people escaping deeply unpleasant homophobic regimes.
Lib Dem Equality spokesperson Lynne Featherstone tabled amendments to the Equality Act 2010, calling for the legislation to recognise all trans people whether or not they have had or wish to have sex reassignment surgery. These amendments were not taken up for discussion by the Government.
Before the General Election in 2010, Nick Clegg made his position on equal marriage clear: "All couples should be able to make that commitment to one another." In September 2010, the Liberal Democrat party voted at Conference to support equal marriage and civil partnerships. This made them the first major UK political party, as well as the first party of Government, to support this position.
On 17th February 2011, the Liberal Democrat equalities minister Lynne Featherstone announced a Government consultation into equal marriage and civil partnership in the UK. The consultation covers:
Lynne said, "Over recent months I have spoken to many LGB&T people and campaign groups, and it quickly became clear that there is a real desire to address the differences between civil marriage and civil partnerships. I have always been completely clear that equal rights means exactly that - the same rights, not different rights."
Later in 2011, Lynne Featherstone announced that, at the very least, civil equal marriage would be legislated within the current Parliament. The consultation will be about how to deliver it, not whether.
On 15th March 2012, the Government consultation was opened to discuss how to implement equal civil marriage. The consultation also asks for opinions on religious same-sex marriage, and extending civil partnerships to mixed-gender couples. LGBT+ Lib Dems published a guide to the consultation at the About Time website.
In 2011 the Liberal Democrats adopted policy calling on Britain's blood donation rules to be based on the risk of the individual, not on sexuality. This rejected the SABTO 12-month deferral, citing the fact that a patient can receive the blood of a man who has multiple unprotected sexual encounters with strange women, but not that of a man who has been in a loving sexual relationship with another man since both were virgins, with protected sex and regular STI checks. LGBT+ Liberal Democrats are working on evidence-based policy to demonstrate more effective and less discriminatory ways to SABTO of protecting the blood supply and the health of recipients.

- Jolyon Palmer
- Teams:
- Marussia
Carlin has finalised its line-up for the 2013 GP2 season, with Jolyon Palmer joining Felipe Nasr at the team.
Palmer joins from iSport having finished in 11th place in the 2012 standings, with his season including victory at Monaco. He joins Nasr at Carlin - with the Brazilian having switched from championship-winning DAMS - and Palmer said he is eyeing a title challenge with the team which is entering only its third season in GP2.
"I'm very happy to be racing for Carlin in 2013," Palmer said. "The team showed good pace this year in their second season in GP2 and they are hungry to build on that next year. My aim is to be fighting for the championship and I'm confident we are in a position to do that."
Racing director Trevor Carlin described the team's line-up as "exceptionally talented" for 2013.
"Jolyon is a very promising young British driver and we're delighted to be able to welcome him into our GP2 team," Carlin said. "He put in some fantastic performances last season and I believe he will be a regular race winner and title contender next year. With Jolyon and Felipe we have an exceptionally talented team, and preparations are already underway for a strong start to the 2013 season."

Yes, there is no higher merriment in college football than making fun of Notre Dame. But let's not overlook the joys of taunting the other side of the BCS championship matchup. If only there had been a giant sphygmomanometer hooked up to the deep Confederacy last night, to record the mass blood-pressure spike when the Associated Press moved this piece of analysis over the wire:
On one side, a blossoming dynasty from the college football capital of the Deep South. On the other, the sport's most famous team, trying to reclaim its place among the elite.
Aww! Li'l Alabama has finally made it to the big time! It's "blossoming." Somebody just spotted the Crimson Tide at Gayfers, in the Junior Intimates section, buying a training brassiere. Don't worry, Alabama, you might almost catch up to the real famous programs someday. Remember, Notre Dame won its first national title all the way back in 1924. You didn't break through till you won the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day of 1926. Patience, Alabama!

What would be cool to see on the next version of the tesla model s
What would be cool to see on the next version of the tesla model s
1. Overpriced gimmick with no real benefit
2. Not interested in that feature personally.
3. Would be great if battery ownership/warranty issues could be worked out, don't want to swap my good new battery for an old one.
4. Already has a camera on the back of the car.
5. 4G would be nice, but so far the 3G has been adequate for my needs.
Four wheel drive.
1. The rear-facing camera's image filling up the rear-view mirror's display, which would be better than existing field of view in mirror.
2. Convertible.
+1 Winnie796 - in the Model S - I am not a SUV type - and love the Model S lines but at 8500' I may have it garaged a month every year.

I know a software update is meant to address vampire loads, but it wouldn't get rid of them completely. You could never realistically recharge off an on-board panel, but I wonder if you could eliminate "vampiric energy loss anxiety" with a respectably-sized panel - the most common scenario being no place to plug in at the airport.
Obviously there's a lot of variables involved (season/latitude/temperature) and I'm doubtful Tesla would actually do it, but for some reason I get curious about such things.
How about:
- a place to hang my coat inside the cabin?
- a rear floor mat?
- an insert in the center console, instead of one big open wasteland?
- enough space between the cup holders that 2 coffee cups can sit next to each other, straight up?
- a rear window windshield wiper?
- a way to block the sunroof when you aren't in the car so it doesn't turn into a pizza oven in 10 minutes?
- a section in in the windshield that accommodated RF devices? the UV coating on the windshield is so strong that no remote works through it
Dont get me wrong - love my Model S, but some basics would be good before we move into crazy-idea land!
For those asking for all wheel Drive: How much range would you be willing to give up for it? You are asking for huge additional weight and expense for a drive you may use once or twice in the life of the MS. The addional cost of fuel milage is the reason that few ICE have 4 wheel drive. The additional annual energy cost could be better used calling for a tow truck. I had a 4 wheel drive van that got 8 mpg, while my brother's 2 wheel drive got 15 mpg. Same size same engine and transmission--4 wheels used twice the fuel. Would you be satisfied with an MS that got only 100 miles per charge.
1. AWD via a second electric motor
2. Wiper in rear window. We have the Chevy Volt and it too needs that rear wiper in California rain.
3. Center console and door storage areas
4. Back seat cup holders, center arm rest in back seat
5. More sculpted back seats
6. In-wheel motors as that technology evolves
Small thing, but I'd appreciate tie-downs in the back. I agree the drink holders are cramped with two cups that are tapered. Kleen Kanteen makes a nice straight thermal cup that works well for me.
@Dr Bob - a new motor and driveshafts, etc might and 200-300 lbs to the car - maybe 7% of the total weight. Could be less. The claimed performance/range for the Model X aren't that much different than the S, so I don't think we'd be giving up very much for potentially some big gains - how does a 600hp, 220 mile real-world range, AWD Model S sound? Sounds good to me.
A co-joined announcement of the 150th supercharging station going online.
@email@example.com Front floor mats are being replaced w/ new ones that have spikes covering the entire bottom side of mate AND free rear mat is being added at service centers. I had my car at Fremont SC back on 04/16 and they did that.
The additional motor need no weigh much to provide additional drive to the front wheels.
The inefficiencies of a 4x4 ICE truck have almost nothing to do with what the Model S would need to provide all-wheel power. In fact the handling and traction control would improve significantly.
1. Collision avoidance technology (next generation lane departure sensor)
2. Birds Eye view screen (see all around the car)
3. Intelligent cruise control (set relative to speed limits & surrounding conditions)
1. Weight loss of about 500 lbs
2. ' Sport' setting for the air suspension (to reduce oll) to complement the sport mode on the steering
3. More range, hopefully up to 400 miles real world
4. Ability to supercharge in 20 minutes or so
5. More storage
6. Grey/tan instead of black surfaces in the interior
7. Better sun visors
Roll, not oll
- up real world range from 200 m to 300 m ( 120 kWh - would fit 100% of my needs and the ICE can go ).
- better paint choices ( current ones are boring - I picked grey as the least offensive to me )
- simplify... I think this is the most easy vehicle to operate, but even that could improve - here are some ideas
(a) get rid of range charge, allow battery only to charge for best reliability
(b) have some 30 m reserve at bottom to compensate for temperature, wind, etc... once you reach zero show what is left in red.
(c) type in next destination and show on the battery bar when you reach destination - warn if you can not reach destination ( now I have to use navigation and pick up the miles and compare in my head... as I said simplify )
Sport seats with adjustable lateral supports that hold you in place, like on a Porsche Cayeene, Panamera, or 911 (not talking GT3 race seat).
Adaptive cruise control.
Blind Spot Monitoring.
Head lights that actually turn when you turn the steering wheel so you can see 100ft up the road where you will be going.
AWD for snowy climates.
Lower price.
In no particular order...
• Lower the cost
• Clock app with multiple display options for center console.
• Skins/themes for the driver's display. ie ability to change the speedometer look, etc
• Trip timer
• Open windows from iPhone app
• Fix the 12v issues!
• Album art for SiriusXM
• Ability to browse media on my phone
• Loose change holder
- Increased range
- Adaptive cruise control
1. -- water on the camera lens would then leave no rear view at all.
As I don't get to charge but perhaps once a week, I'm happy to know my concern has a name. Apparently, I have "Vampiric Energy Loss Anxiety Syndrome"
I am not asking much. Honda Accord and/or entry level premium sedans have them today. Standard to MS v2.0:
1. Blind Spot Monitor
2. Coat hangers and grab bars
3. Rear window wiper
4. Center console
5. Rear center console with pass-through to trunk
6. Adaptive cruise control
7. Parking sensors
8. Multi-Contour Front Seats
9. Better premium audio system like Mark Levinson
Something that looks eerily reminiscent of the Aston Martin One-77...
- blind spot indicators
- side cameras for parking (very cool in BMW)
- better iPod / iPhone music integration...bite the bullet and pay the licensing or whatever it takes...
- more efficient oil cooler (just seeing if you were paying attention)
Simply installing the full Google Driving technology, when it's available, might be a better use of time than integrating the various tiny fractions of that technology that people are mentioning above. Until the full Google Driving is available, Tesla's time might be better spent focused on bringing the Model X to market sooner.
My understanding is that the best solar panels that have been made in labs, around 40% efficient, can probably produce about 400 watts per square meter. I think that works out to about a mile of range of charge per hour. If you could find four square meters of painted surface to embed 40% efficient solar cells in, I think you might be looking at something like 4 miles per hour of added range. Park for 8 hours while you're at work, and you might get 32 miles of range added to the battery. I know 32 miles of range would be overkill for my commute.
(And in theory, building 80% efficient solar panels should be doable, too, which might cover people with 60 mile round trip commutes.)
Do the folks who think solar panels are useless have corrections to the above? Or is the theory that since the solar panel option for the Leaf is a bad joke, that obviously the laws of physics prevent building a useful solar panel solution into cars? (And if anyone believes the latter, do they also believe that the Leaf is proof that the laws of physics prevent Tesla from building a car that goes more than a hundred miles on a charge?)
Useless on a car. Too small, incidence angles etc. inadequate, must be exposed to sun. Charging at night is far superior. And a fraction of the price.
1. Front camera or parking sensor for curbs and 8' wide garage doors.
2. More charging flexibility -- input number of miles needed and when charging should finish, let the car set the amps to draw and start time.
3. Power frunk lid.
4. Calibration lines on rear view camera.
5. Gps aware height adjust for driveway entrance.
6. Trailer hitch for bike rack, etc.
7. Power inside rear view mirror adjustment with personal setting.
8. Better drainage for doors, etc.
@alan@audiogeer and others asked for:
> an insert in the center console, instead of one big open wasteland?
There are already two nice options, one from Tesla (Summer 2013) and another from Tesla Accessories (available now).
> a section in in the windshield that accommodated RF devices? the UV coating on the windshield is so strong that no remote works through it
Are you talking about a garage door or automatic gate remote? The existing Homelink menu can be programmed to do that for you (up to three locations). Try it. FastTrak / EzPass transponders are another story however. They usually don't work well through the Tesla windshield (and many other cars).

New: Attackers Near Campus in Berkeley Used Pepper Spray on Victims
Three female suspects attacked two female victims in an attempted robbery on the southside of the University of California at Berkeley campus last Friday night, Berkeley police said.
The two female victims were walking on Dwight Way, near Prospect Street around 9:40 p.m. when they passed three females, all believed to be teenagers.
One of the suspects sprayed one of the victims with what appeared to be pepper spray.
The victims tried to run away. The suspects grabbed the second victim, punched her in the face and then knocked her to the ground before also spraying her in the face, police said.
The suspects demanded the victims' property, but a male passerby intervened and the suspects ran off without any of the victims' belongings.
The suspects were seen getting into a white Dodge Charger that then drove off westbound on Dwight Way, police said.
UC Berkeley police assisted Berkeley police in a search for the suspects, who as of late this afternoon remain at large, Berkeley police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Coats said.
The victims both suffered injuries but refused medical care, according to police.
The suspects are all described as black female teenagers. One stood about 5 feet 4 inches and had short hair.
Another suspect was described as having long hair in a ponytail and was wearing a long skirt.
The third suspect was about 5 feet 5 inches and had braided hair. She was wearing a pink shirt and a jean jacket.
Anyone with information about the assault is asked to call Berkeley police at (510) 981-5900.

Arrangements and their bearing types
A bearing arrangement supports and locates a shaft, radially and axially, relative to other components such as housings. Typically, two bearing supports are required to position a shaft. Depending on certain requirements, such as stiffness or load directions, a bearing support may consist of one or more bearings.
- locating/non-locating bearing arrangements
- adjusted bearing arrangements
- floating bearing arrangements
Locating/non-locating bearing arrangements
- The locating support provides axial location of the shaft relative to the housing.
- The non-locating support accommodates axial displacements that occur when thermal expansion of the shaft relative to the housing changes the distance between the two bearings. Additionally, it compensates for the accumulation of tolerances of the components, which affects the distance between the two bearings.
Radial bearings that can accommodate combined (radial and axial) loads are used for the locating bearing support. These include:
- deep groove ball bearings
- two universally matchable single row angular contact ball bearings, arranged back-to-back or face-to-face
- double row angular contact ball bearings
- self-aligning ball bearings
- spherical roller bearings
- matched tapered roller bearings, arranged back-to-back or face-to-face
- cylindrical roller bearings with flanges on both rings or cylindrical roller bearings mounted with an angle ring (thrust collar)
The locating bearing support can consist of a combination of bearings. For example (fig. 2):
- To accommodate the radial load, a cylindrical roller bearing that has one ring without flanges may be used.
- To provide the axial location, a deep groove ball bearing, a four-point contact ball bearing, or a pair of angular contact ball bearings may be used.
The outer ring of the axial locating bearing must be mounted radially free and should not be clamped. Otherwise, this bearing can be subjected to unintended radial loads.
There are two ways to accommodate axial displacements at the non-locating bearing support:
Use a bearing type that enables axial displacement within the bearing (fig. 3):
- cylindrical roller bearings with flanges on one ring only
- needle roller bearings
- CARB toroidal roller bearings
When these bearings are rotating, they accommodate axial displacement and induce almost no axial load on the bearing arrangement. You should use this solution where an interference fit is required for both rings.
- Use a loose fit between one bearing ring and its seat. Suitable bearing types include:
When using other bearing types, you may need to take additional design considerations into account.
From the large number of possible locating/non-locating bearing combinations, the following are the most popular.
For bearing arrangements where the axial displacement is accommodated within the bearing
Conventional bearing arrangements in which limited angular misalignment occurs include:
- deep groove ball bearing / cylindrical roller bearing (fig. 4)
- double row angular contact ball bearing / NU or N design cylindrical roller bearing (fig. 5)
- matched single row tapered roller bearings / NU or N design cylindrical roller bearing (fig. 6)
- NUP design cylindrical roller bearing / NU design cylindrical roller bearing (fig. 7)
- NU design cylindrical roller bearing and a four-point contact ball bearing / NU design cylindrical roller bearing (fig. 8)
SKF self-aligning bearing systems, which can compensate for more misalignment, are:
- spherical roller bearing / CARB toroidal roller bearing (fig. 9)
- self-aligning ball bearing / CARB toroidal roller bearing
For bearing arrangements where the axial displacement is accommodated between a bearing ring and its seat
Adjusted bearing arrangements
In adjusted bearing arrangements, the shaft is located axially in one direction by one bearing support and in the opposite direction by the other (cross-located). Adjusted bearing arrangements require proper adjustment of clearance or preload during mounting.
These bearing arrangements are generally used for short shafts, where thermal expansion has only a little effect. The most suitable bearings are:
Floating bearing arrangements
In floating bearing arrangements the shaft is cross-located, but is able to move axially a certain distance between the two end positions (i.e. "float"). When determining the required "float" distance , consider thermal expansion of the shaft relative to the housing and tolerances of the components, which affect the distance between the two bearings.
With this arrangement, the shaft can also be axially located by other components on the shaft (e.g. a double helical gear). Most common bearings are:

It's official, birds are coming around again despite all the snow that we have on the ground here in Northern New England. I watched a few birds peck at an open area of dirt and grass hoping to find a worm or seed. Since the birds are coming back I thought of a neat, and helpful lesson that might come in handy when creating new drawings for the upcoming warm seasons. Here is "how to draw a birdhouse", step by step. I know that many of you probably love birds, and since I love drawing birds, what better way to create a happy environment than to make a tutorial on drawing a birdhouse. As you know birdhouses come in many, many different sizes, styles, shapes and forms. These small miniature structures are built from wood, fiberglass, plastic, metal, and even straw ( believe me, I have seen them in straw). The house that I made for you all can be tweaked to your liking, and it can also be decorated, colored, and placed any way, or where you want. I was going to draw a small bird standing on the perch, but then I thought that would just clutter the tutorial. Surprisingly I enjoyed creating this design, and believe it or not, but this is my very first birdhouse drawing. I do hope that you enjoy this lesson, and since I have submitted my tutorials for the day, be sure to come back tomorrow for more drawing fun. Adios people and enjoy your weekend.

All aspects of your website from hosting to domain names are covered. Even if you just have a question or two, don't hesitate to contact DrTandem.
Why a website?
A website for a small business allows for the opportunity of competing with a larger business on almost equal footing. A website also allows for an inexpensive way to gain world-wide exposure. Most people expect a business to have a website. However, if the website does not have the proper design, it may do more harm than good. There are two main features of website design, form and function. If the website doesn't look good, the visitor may decide against exploring it. If it looks good, but is not designed with the visitor in mind, they will become frustrated and leave. If both form and function of the website are issues, the website doesn't have a chance of competing.

South Dakota closes waters to baitfish taking
MADISON, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota has closed creeks, streams and rivers to the taking of baitfish by traps, nets and seines to prevent the spread of aquatic nuisance species such as Asian carp.
Biologists say young Asian carp closely resemble some popular bait fish species and may be hard to recognize when mixed with other fish.
The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission approved the proposal Thursday.
It affects the Black Hills trout management area and the following counties: Aurora, Beadle, Brown, Bon Homme, Clay, Davison, Edmunds, Faulk, Hand, Hanson, Hutchinson, Jerauld, Lincoln, McCook, McPherson, Miner, Minnehaha, Moody, Sanborn, Spink, Turner, Union and Yankton.
The use of hook and line to take bait fish species will still be allowed, and bait could be trapped from lakes, ponds and wetlands.

Here's one from the back burner. According to Edmunds Inside Line, Cadillac's plans for the BRX crossover may be even closer than we'd thought. Cadillac's general manager, Jim Taylor said the sub-$30,000 crossover is being considered, and supplier sources indicate the car's coming in mid-2009. Originally thought to be a wagon based on the Epsilon platform, word now is it'll share the Daewoo-developed Opel Antara / Chevrolet Captiva / Saturn Vue small-crossover architecture. Edmunds also reports Cadillac is bringing its rest-of-world small model, the BLS (above), to North America. Hmm, after all that re-branding, Cadillac's downmarket aspirations may be cause for alarm, especially since the company's battle cry should be Remember the Cimarron!

Ep-40 if you run aground in an outboard boat and you are not taking on water, what is the first step in attempting to free your vessel?
Read the excerpt from "Mother Tongue." Lately, I've been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" or "fractured" English. But I wince when I say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no other way to describe it other than "broken," as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt? Tan discusses her thoughts about language to build the idea that the English language does not have words to match some Chinese terms. Tan discusses her relationship with her mother to build the idea that mothers and daughters in all cultures often have misunderstandings. Tan discusses her mother's use of English to build the idea that a form of language can be purposeful and meaningful even if it is nonstandard. Tan discusses the English language to build the idea that there is a lack of appropriate synonyms for the word "broken."

|Case study 2: visit Iceland (June 2016)
Case study 2: Visit to Reykjavik University and the Elliðaár River catchment, Iceland, 23 - 30 June, 2016
In the frame of Case study 2: Comparative study on the effect of hydrological regime on the distribution of the invasive diatom Didymosphenia geminata in extreme environments (Icelandic rivers and lakes, and Bulgarian high-mountain lakes), Dr. Vesela Evtimova from the Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IBER-BAS), visited the Reykjavik University and the Elliðaár River catchment, Iceland, between 23 and 30 June, 2016. The purpose of the visit was to discuss and coordinate analyses and data presentation of the Icelandic diatom dataset. In addition some of the sampling locations within the catchment of the Elliðaár River were visited. During the visit discussions on data availability, presentation and interpretation were done. Ways to organise the dataset on benthic diatoms from the seven sample sites in Iceland: upstream and downstream the Elliðaár River, Elliðavatn Lake and upstream and downstream the tributaries Suðurá and Hólmsá Rivers, were investigated.
The meetings were attended by Dr. David Finger (Reykjavik University), Dr. Jón S. Ólafsson and Vaiva Čypaitė (the Institute of Freshwater Fisheries of Iceland) and Dr. Vesela Evtimova (IBER-BAS).
Within this case study the following tentative tasks have been formulated:
- Organising the data into a dataset and conducting initial analyses relating hydrological connectivity with diatom communities from samples collected from Iceland in summer and autumn 2015 (Bulgarian partners);
- Preparation of an abstract relating hydrological connectivity with diatom communities (Bulgarian partners);
- Relating meteo- and hydrological data to Didymo distribution (Icelandic partners);
- Collecting existing environmental data for the studied sites (Icelandic partners).

Yorkshire squeezed into the Royal London One-Day Cup semi-finals by beating Kent by 11 runs in a slow-burning thriller under the Canterbury floodlights –
David Willey pinned James Tredwell lbw for 17 with the fifth ball of the 48th over to complete a game which had ebbed and flowed to the delight of a near-capacity crowd of almost 6,000.
Adam Lyth top-scored with 88 from 96 balls, hitting a six and eight fours, as Yorkshire reached 256 for 9 from their 50 overs after being asked to bat.
Matt Coles took 3 for 39 from his ten overs for Kent and Charlie Hartley, a 22-year-old seamer playing in only his third List A game, dismissed both Joe Root, for 45, and Jonny Bairstow in his ten-over stint of 2 for 42.
Hartley, coming in at No 10, then almost took Kent home, scoring 15 in a nail-biting ninth wicket stand of 29 in 6.2 overs with Tredwell before being lbw to Adil Rashid's googly to the last ball of the 47th over as Kent eventually could make just 245 in reply.
Kent initially slipped to 66 for 4 with Daniel Bell-Drummond, Sam Northeast and Sam Billings all out cheaply, but Darren Stevens and Alex Blake revived them with a fifth wicket stand of 86 in 13 overs.
Blake made 50 and Stevens 54 and, when they fell to Willey and Liam Plunkett respectively, it was left to Kent's lower order to try to get them over the line. Despite their best efforts, they could not quite do it, with Plunkett finishing with 4 for 52 and Rashid bowling some crucial overs at the death.
Blake played brilliantly for 50 from 38 balls, hitting off spinner Azeem Rafiq on to the roof of the Underwood and Knott Stand for six and also including seven fours in a counter-attacking knock that shook Yorkshire's international-class bowling attack.
Willey, however, cleverly decided to test the 27-year-old with a succession of short balls, one of which hit Blake a nasty blow on the chin, and won the duel when the left-hander flapped at another bouncer and edged through to the keeper.
Stevens, in his benefit year, also batted with great spirit in his 500th match for Kent in all formats – and 742nd in senior cricket overall – but the home challenge faded when he fell to a magnificent one-handed caught-and-bowled by Plunkett, flinging himself to his left.
Will Gidman managed 19, uppercutting Plunkett for six, before giving the same bowler another return catch and Coles, who briefly raised Kent hopes again with a four and two sixes smeared over the legside ropes off Rafiq, was stumped by Bairstow off Adil Rashid's googly for a quickfire 22.
Willey had earlier pinned Bell-Drummond leg-before for 2 with the last ball of the second over, an inswinging yorker that hit the batsman on the boot, and Kent lost two more top order wickets in successive overs when Northeast chipped Plunkett to short mid wicket on 23 and Billings was beaten by a Steven Patterson off-cutter and lbw for one to his fourth ball.
At least Northeast had helped Joe Denly to add 50 in 9.4 overs for the second wicket, swinging Tim Bresnan's medium pace into the adjoining building site for six in the process, while Denly drove Patterson for a maximum over long on and had also hit four fours in a 45-ball 31 when he top-edged an attempted swivel-pull at Plunkett and skied to mid on.
Lyth sprang from the traps in the early overs, thumping Mitch Claydon through the covers for four and then hammering a length ball straight for six. Alex Lees, his opening partner, also lofted Claydon for four but, from the next ball, he pulled to deep square leg to depart for 7 and leave Yorkshire 27 for 1 after five overs.
Root then joined Lyth in a stand of 90 in 18 overs that oozed quality, but just when it seemed the England No 3 was moving up the gears he was gone, for 45 from 55 balls with only three fours, brilliantly held on the deep mid wicket ropes by Blake who sprinted to his left and leapt to hold a flat pull and give Hartley the first success of a day to remember.
Bairstow, after one sublime push-drive for four wide of mid on off Hartley, then fell for 7 as he mis-hit to Bell-Drummond at a deepish mid on to give the young seamer his second high-profile scalp.
redwell bowled a typically steady ten-over stint of off spin, though without success, and the return of Coles for the 34th over brought immediate reward when left-hander Lyth was beaten by a fine ball angled across him down the slope which he thin-edged to keeper Billings.
Bresnan and Willey were then removed in the same over, the 39th, by Will Gidman as Kent – who had bowled with discipline and fielded like tigers – began to sense Yorkshire's unease and turn the screw.
Bresnan, having laboured to 10, scooped tamely to short extra cover and Willey flicked at a legside delivery and was smartly caught by Billings, moving to his right.
Hartley returned to finish his 10-over allocation, almost having Plunkett caught and bowled and then hitting the England one-day international on the grille of his helmet as he tried to pull a short ball that stuck in the pitch. Gidman, meanwhile, beat Ballance with successive deliveries that seamed away from him.
It was no surprise when Plunkett, who could not get going, skied Coles to Northeast at extra cover for 16 from 21 balls, leaving Ballance and Rashid to collect what runs they could from the closing overs.
Ballance, having struggled to 37 from 55 balls, was run out when Rashid turned down a third run and he could not get back to the bowler's end and Coles pegged back Rafiq's off stump for 1 to take his competition wicket tally to 24 at 17.41 runs apiece.
A straight four and pulled six by Rashid off Claydon in the final over took Yorkshire beyond 250 but they had looked certain to total nearer 300 when Lyth and Root were together.

Zach Braff said someone hacked into his personal website to plant a phony "coming out" blog post, but used Facebook to set the record straight that he's not gay.
"To all my loyal fans, I have been hiding this secret inside me for too long . . . I am excited and proud to announce that I am an open member of the homosexual community," the alleged hacked post said, according to TMZ. Braff's spokesman also said the site hadn't been updated since 2006.
Braff decided to made his response via Facebook, apparently the modern version of a town crier:
U.S. & World
My old website got hacked. Someone issued a "coming out" statement on my behalf. I'm still straight and in love with my girlfriend. But not too straight; I still love musicals, brunch and Doogie Howser.
Instinct magazine, like us, didn't find his post that funny. (But then again, was "Scrubs" ever that funny?) Perhaps one day we'll live in a world where actors don't immediately have to counter allegations of homosexuality with Wendi Deng-like lightning speed.
