Hold the Phone -- Tesla Didn't Make a Profit Selling Cars
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tesla (TSLA) has awards, zero emissions, brilliant leadership and downright cool cars.
But it lacks the one thing its investors want: a profit -- from selling cars.
Let's get one thing straight from the start. I'm a fan of Tesla's CEO Elon Musk, Tesla Motors, Nikola Tesla, and even PayPal, a unit of eBay (EBAY). I want to see Tesla succeed for several reasons.
I love the name that was selected to brand the car and company. Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest geniuses of all time. He isn't well known, certainly not as well as Thomas Edison, but he arguably gave the world a better understanding of the many uses of electricity than Edison did. In fact, it appears the Tesla light bulb will remain in active service around the world longer than Edison's. (Tesla invented the florescent light bulb.)
Even more obscure than Nikola Tesla is Tesla Motors' quarterly profit, which has received tremendous attention lately. Reuters reported adjusted earnings of 12 cents per share, or about $14 million, from $562 million in sales. Business Insider's Sam Ro wrote, "In other words, the market has concluded that Tesla is the real thing." Fantastic news for sure, and faster than you can say "zero to 60 in 4.2 seconds," the price of the stock jumped 50%. Am I the only one who read the quarterly report? Because it doesn't appear that Tesla is making money, at least from automobile manufacturing. The reaction of the stock is a different story altogether.
I recently wrote Slow Down Tesla, Curves Ahead, an article pointing out that short interest is positively charged at more than 45% of the float. For those of us with investor high mileage (and the gray hairs to go along with it), the first thought to come to mind is "short squeeze". At a certain point, it doesn't make one iota of a difference why a stock is trading higher, short-sellers have a limited amount of pain tolerance and once that point is reached, the short position needs to be covered. Once you have enough short interest in a stock, it's like a stick of dynamite. All it takes to light the fuse is a positive news event and the wheels are set in motion.

November is Prematurity Awareness Month. RiverDog Prints supports one cause or charity a month and this one rests very close to home. I will be posting once a week in November, retelling my story of prematurity. I warn you before you read that some details are a bit graphic and personal, but anyone who has gone through this experience will know, that the details count for so much. You can support the March of Dimes by clicking the banner below, but first, read on for part two of my personal preemie story.
Bedrest during pregnancy. Not uncommon, but for anyone who has been doomed to it, knows that it is not easy. It sounds great, right? You don't have to clean or cook or work, but you watch your house become cluttered and dirty and you can't pick up your little ones when they ask. A three-year-old boy doesn't understand bedrest because of a brother he hasn't seen yet. And this was 2005, before Hulu, before on-demand video and before I owned a laptop.
My journey continued in bed and I was very good about resting. The only problem was my motility problem – the nicest way I can think of writing severe constipation. It's not something you can stop doing – it's something you have to fix. And no one was taking it seriously. I guess the assumption in the medical community was that I was just complaining about a typical side effect of pregnancy. It was very painful and never gave my body a chance to heal. This common side effect ended up putting my unborn child at severe risk.
I hung in at home for another few weeks. At the 25th week of gestation, I had another severe bleed. Back to the hospital we went and this time, I was admitted. Now, my baby was viable. Viable – what a strange word. I guess it should have put me little at ease because now they would do everything medically possible to save him. The doctor's from the NICU (or more properly, neonatologists) visited with my husband and I to go over any questions and to suggest shots of antenatal steroids to help the baby's lungs develop quickly in case of delivery. The neonatologists were honest and direct about all our questions and left us scared. Crazy scared. I had the shot of steroids within the hour and they found me a bed on the high-risk maternity ward.
For the next week and a half, I ate more regularly than I had in my whole life and had more needle sticks than I ever want to have again. And I've never been so bored, isolated and anxious. My husband would visit with Boo when he could, but he was working on and off, trying to save up his vacation time for when our family really needed him. Plus, my son was not yet three and was having a very hard time adjusting to me in the hospital. Must have been so scary for him. I kept complaining about my motility problem to every person in the never-ending stream of medical personnel that entered my room. Suggestions of more water, more fiber, excessive amounts of prune juice (I will NEVER drink that again), but no real remedy. It seems so ridiculous to me now. Why didn't anyone put me on magnesium, as in Milk of? If I could go back, I would kick some serious medical tail!
Tuesday, July 5, 2005
Hadn't had a shower for many days and the nurses allowed me to take one that morning. Yippee! But had another rough bout with motility and didn't feel right most of the day. By evening, I really felt like I was beginning labor. Had an awful Resident, who was not listening to what I was actually describing to her. Thankfully, I had an awesome nurse, who realized that I was having very mild contractions, and guided the Resident into giving me IV fluids. This can help stop them and it did… for a few hours.
It was late, about midnight. The contractions came back and they were stronger this time. I was wheeled to the maternity ward to be given magnesium to stop the contractions for good. As the burning meds went into my arm, I called our home voicemail and left a message of what was up, so I wouldn't wake my husband or Boo. The contractions did stop and I tried to get some rest. I think I slept for a few hours on my side, listening to the sounds of the monitors. That kid inside me was happy as could be. He really didn't want to go anywhere.
In my morning, there was more blood than I had ever seen before and it was vibrant in color. Soon after, my husband was in the room and we were waiting for the doctor to discuss our options. In the meantime, I began to feel very weird – lightheaded and nauseous. Another savvy nurse realized my BP was super-low (50 over 30) and tipped the bed, so my head was lower than my feet. Not sure how I didn't pass out – maybe just sheer Mommy willpower. I was NOT going to be out of it before we had made some decisions. As my blood pressure normalized, the doctor arrived and suggested we deliver as soon as possible. The bleeding seemed too severe and the steroid shots I had had a week and a half before should help our son do his best on the outside. My husband and I had been going back and forth on baby names. I remember him looking at me and saying, "So, his name will be Eli." It was the name I had wanted. And there it was… our son was to be born.

Just a little spring brunch mood board for a morning I'm dreaming of. Poppies, morning cocktails, and a fresh basil cabonara would be heaven.
Entries Tagged as 'FOOD & DRINK'
Here's a little fancied-up take on all-American game day foods that's been floating around my head lately…
Mac and cheese cannot go wrong when the sauce involves wine, chicken broth, and truffle oil. I once adapted this recipe (using only parmesan and gruyere) to bake mini macs with a cupcake tin. Big crowd-pleaser. / I'm not a huge fan of raw carrots, but when they're roasted with awesome flavors, I love them. / What Katie Ate's buffalo chicken looks gorgeous, and much more appealing than a pile of wings. / For dessert, some fluffy baked donuts would be pretty sweet.
Go Lakers! :)
I've never been much of a salad person–I've always found it hard to get behind lettuce as a base. Slowly, I'm learning to integrate heartier leaves (like kale), how combinations like super fresh lemon, garlic, and parmesan can make magic, and the power of a really great dressing. It feel almost adult. My favorite salad so far, hands-down, is the lemony kale chicken Caesar my boyfriend has perfected. We had some lovely red kale from my Summerland delivery last week, so he showed me his (pretty simple) recipe.
This being one of the few Easters I haven't spent with family, I wasn't sure what I'd end up doing (or eating). My boyfriend was recently gifted an awesome package of grits from his sister, freshly back from visiting the Carolinas, and we were discussing how best to make a meal out of them. It was quickly determined that they could not be used as a mere "filler" side dish, and we must construct a meal around them. And if we were having southern food, that obviously meant biscuits and gravy. And that meant a first attempt a hot chicken. And since I'd just gotten my first delivery from Summerland Produce, I figured we could throw in some greens for good measure. With my dear roommate around to help celebrate, we feasted for Easter. Here are the pretty simple southern food recipes we ended up using…
Marinate your chicken (our undying favorite is Trader Joe's organic free range thighs, which are always, always, super tender) in 1 quart buttermilk, 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (we used a habanero/cayenne hot sauce), 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, and whatever other seasonings you wish for 2 hours. We found that this didn't turn out very spicy at all, and would do way more hot sauce and way less buttermilk in the future. Next, coat the chicken in a mixture of 3 cups flour, 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon paprika, and whatever other spices you wish. Then, deep fry. Or, we pan fried the chicken and then baked it.
I kind of cheated, using Bob's Red Mill gluten-free biscuit mix with Smart Balance, milk, and a dash of maple syrup. And I don't even have a pastry mixer, so I used my hands.
My boyfriend has a special magic talent for making perfect gravy, but basically: Dice your favorite breakfast sausage, and cook it in a pan over medium heat. Add milk and seasonings. Add a little cornstarch-water mixture to thicken. Stir often and taste constantly, adjusting your amounts of things to your preference.
Remove stems from chard, toss with chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil. Cook in pan over low heat until just wilted. You can also do this with kale or collard greens.
Mix 1 cup grits with 1 1/2 cups milk in a bowl. Boil 1 cup water. Once boiling, add the grits-milk mixture to it, and lower the heat to simmer. Maybe cover, because it splattered a low. Stir every once in a while until it becomes to consistency of cream o' wheat. Add butter and pepper. (There are many more exciting varieties of grits out there, but we kept it simple in case the chicken ended up being super spicy.)
Warning: once you consume all this goodness, you will not want to move for the rest of the afternoon. Honestly, the most complicated thing we had to do was time it all to come out at the same time. I love learning to make the favorites I love to order in restaurants, especially since it lets you negotiate any healthier adaptations there are. We baked our chicken instead of deep frying, but used whole milk in everything. We used fake butter in the biscuits, but the real stuff with grits. Next time, I'd try to work in some fried green tomatoes and some kind of minty cocktail.

First, they have four beers on their everyday menu -- Hefewezen, Bitter, Pale Ale and Red Ale. The day I visited (6/5/05) they were out of both the hefe and the Bitter -- sadly the two in which I was most interested. Said differently, they were out of half of their everyday offerings! Something's not right there. Additionally, they had a Dunkel. interesting that teh last poster also noted they were out of the Bitter. There seems to be poor planning on somebody's part.
I first tried the Pale Ale. It was nice, with mild hoppy finish, but reasonably well balanced with malt. Made me wonder how differ it was from the Bitter. Not very experienced with Dunkels, so I'll withhold my comments on it.
I had the grilled salmon sandwich, which includes grilled vegatables and pesto aoli on sourdough bread, and a side of cole slaw. The sandwich was tasty. With the grilled veggies, it was a reasonably healthy offering (somewhat offset by the aoli, which I'm sure you could get on the side). The slaw was respectable, but not as tangy as I like.
As for the service, it was confusing. There were two people that seemed to be serving the limited outside area I chose and both worked all the tables. One was slow-to-indifferent and one was attentive and quick without hovering. Had to flag one down to order food, but he was very accomodating when I did. So, like most places, it depends on the server -- clearly no consistency.
Food was good, and certainly better than most bar food. Several good fish dishes in addition to the standard burger fare.
Very nice atmosphere - comfy seats, not too loud and an outdoor area as well for better weather.
Would go back, certainly.
The food is delicious and way better then most bar food I have eaten. They still need something more original that stands out and makes you want to try it on the menu, something unique.
The Service and customers are great. The Bartenders are very friendly. The waitresses are quiet but thier looks make up for it. Seems like they only hire Hotties. You can always find someone to strike up a conversation with.
The Atmosphere is great. Old tavern look with tables and patio outside for smokers.
This place is definatly hang out worthy. Wished closer to the beach in the sun.

This Mustang Parts Installation Guide Works For
Tools RequiredBasic Hand Tools Required
Installation Time: 1 Hour
Parts Included:
Parts Bag:
The 2-Step Launch Control is a low rpm limiter only. The factory speed limiter will not be affected.
This MSD 2-Step Launch Control is designed for Ford Modular 5.0L engines with Coil-on-Plug ignitions. The 2-Step Control switches to a lower rpm limit that will assist in consistent launches and 60-foot times. RPM adjustments are made via two rotary switches located on the harness side of the unit. The adjustment range is from 1,000 - 10,900 rpm, in 100 rpm increments. An LED will illuminate when the launch rev limit is active.
Note:It is recommended to have the Service Manual for your vehicle. If you cannot identify an activation wire, a microswitch or relay may be required.
Note:The engine rpm must drop more than one third of the set launch limit in order to activate. For example, if the launch limit is set at 3,000 rpm, the engine speed must drop below 2,000 rpm in order for the launch limit to become active (one third of 3,000 rpm is a 1,000 rpm drop).
Caution:Keeping the engine on a lower rpm limit may cause the Check Engine light to come on and could potentially damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT:Due to wiring variations on different models, MSD cannot identify specific wiring on the clutch switches. Consult your Service Manual for wiring schematics.
The 2-Step Control can be mounted in any position but keep in mind to mount it so the rotary dials are accessible for adjustments. Hardware is supplied for mounting. Before mounting the unit, confirm that the wiring harnesses reach their connections.

Figure 2 Alternate Wiring.
The launch rpm limit can be activated through a ground or a 12 volt source.
Ground:Switch the Blue wire to ground to activate the launch limit.
12 volts:Connect the White/Blue wire to 12 volts to activate the launch limit.
If you are planning to use the factory clutch switch to activate the 2-Step, note that there may be variations in factory wiring colors and outputs. It is recommended that you have the factory wiring diagram and schematic. Also, check any wiring for voltage or ground with the key on, during cranking and when the engine is running. A relay may be required with factory wiring systems.
Figure 3 Wiring the Launch Activation Wire.
With the power On, engine running, activate the On/Off switch. If connected correct, the LED will illuminate when the clutch is activated. To verify the rpm, set the limit at a lower rpm, such as 2,000, and test the system.
If the engine has trouble starting or running. check the following:

My wife and I were at the symphony last weekend. As is customary, the concertmaster (the violinist who sits closest to the conductor) stood up and pointed to the oboist. The oboist then played an A note at 440 hertz, the worldwide tuning standard. The woodwinds matched the note, then the brass. Then the oboist cranked out another A and the strings tuned up. You've probably all heard an orchestra settle in just before the conductor walks out. Last weekend …

Word on the streets is that Vybz Kartel's common law wife Shorty and his signed Portmore Empire artiste Gaza Slim are at odds due to speculations of a brewing relationship between Slim and Vybz Kartel.
Gaza Slim last month brandished a new tattoo of Vybz kartel's name on her body. She also professed her love for Vybz kartel in several interviews. Many thought she was simply being a nice person. However others are saying Vybz kartel is dating Slim.
It is no secret that kartel had sexual relations with members of his camp before, most notably the sex scandal with Lisa Hyper.

Executive chef Frederic Joulin whips up Mediterranean delights such as branzino, sea scallops, rack of lamb, and filets. Interior designer François Frossard, whose past projects include The Forge, Mansion, and Opium, created a lush, living room feel replete with 1930s tile, a hammered-brass bar, and sexy Murano glass chandeliers that drip from the ceiling like crystal wax.

Hometown: New York City, NY (USA)
After three critically acclaimed solo records, dozens of world tours and TV appearances, Jesse Malin found himself back in New York City questioning his next move. From his days fronting seminal hardcore trio Heart Attack and infamous glam punks D Generation, then seven years on the road as a solo artist, Malin had cultivated a devout fan base. Heâ??d shared stages with everyone from The White Stripes to Counting Crows, The Hold Steady to Lucinda Williams, but felt like he was losing the plot.

HALF MOON BAY, Calif., March 21, 2013 — It doesn't matter what the calendar says. It may be spring, but there's still plenty of snow for skiing and snowboarding in Vail and Beaver Creek. If you're still yearning for skiing and boarding opportunities, an après-ski scene, off-mountain romance, or a wealth of family activities, there's still a chance to get some quality snow time in the next few weeks.
The largest ski resort in the United States, Vail has 5,289 skiable acres for you to shred. Three base areas (Lionshead, Vail Village, and Golden Peak) give you access all over the mountain. The resort's front side has plenty of groomers and wide, long runs. It's also home to Kid's Adventure Zones, three terrain parks, Game Creek Bowl, the EpicMix race course, and a handful of mountain dining restaurants. The back bowls have a wealth of wide-open skiing and amazing views.
If you need help planning your strategy, take advantage of complimentary mountain ski/board tours offered by Community Guest Service volunteers. Tours of the mountain are available for any guest whose ability is intermediate or above. General mountain tours, Blue Sky Basin tours, and 50+ Ski With Us tours (for guests 50 years and older) are available.
Looking to improve your skills or start the kids on the slopes? Sign up for Vail's Ski & Snowboard School, which offers group and private lessons. If the kids are too cool for school, but still want to have fun in the snow, head to Adventure Ridge, where there are ski bikes, lanes open for tubing, a kids' snowmobile track, a bungee/trampoline, and snowshoe adventures.
Beaver Creek
Just a few minutes down the road from Vail, Beaver Creek may have fewer skiable acres (1,832) than Vail, but there's plenty of room for quality turns. The resort's 149 trails weigh heavily toward intermediate (at 43 percent, with beginner at 19 percent, advanced at 21 percent, expert at 12 percent and extreme at 5 percent), although there's still room for everyone on the manicured slopes of Bachelor Gulch, the open intermediate trails of Larkspur and Rose Bowl, and the steep bumps of Grouse Mountain.
Get a look at the terrain with complimentary Mountain Welcome Tours for intermediate and advanced skiers or ditch the dudes and go on one of the complimentary Women's Tours, which include a tasty hot chocolate break.
Boost yourself to the next level with a group or private class at Beaver Creek's ski and snowboard school, or sign the kids up for lessons and have fun on your own. Wind down the day on the tubing hill, ice-skating rink and the daily 3 p.m. cookie time, when chefs serve freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
Where to Stay
There are plenty of lodging options to pick from in both places, from condo-style to luxury hotels. While there I stayed at two different places:
Located at the gateway to Vail Village, the Four Seasons Resort & Residences Vail has a dedicated ski concierge at the Vista Bahn chair lift that fits skis and boots, takes care of your equipment, organizes ski lessons, and helps you with other winter outdoor activities (such as snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, or sleigh rides). The hotel's 121 guest rooms include 24 suites, most with mountain and pool views.
All rooms have gas-burning fireplaces, which are perfect during snowy days while you're waiting for the ideal powder skiing conditions. In addition, rooms include plasma/LCD-screen TVs, DVD player, connection for an MP3 player, Wi-Fi (the free version was fine for my emails and web browsing; the pay version may be necessary for higher speed requirements, like movies), large soaking tub, down duvets and pillows, plush robes, coffee/tea maker, and twice daily housekeeping. Rates start at $225 per night, and vary depending on date of arrival, number of nights and availability.
In Beaver Creek, the ski-in/ski-out Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa is right at the base of the mountain, where you can catch one of several lifts within view of the hotel. On-site ski equipment rentals ensure you have what you need for your vacation, and the ski valet stores your gear, dries your boots, and parks your skis outside for you in the morning — right where you need them.
The hotel's 190 guest rooms include 14 executive king rooms and seven suites. The rooms mix Colorado mountain lodge style with luxurious additions, like pillow-top mattresses, soft linens, down duvets, granite and marble bathrooms, iHome docking stations, LCD TVs, comfortable robes, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Rates start at $149 per night, and vary depending on date of arrival, number of nights and availability.
Get a sweet deal at either property with late-season savings. At the Four Seasons Resort & Residences Vail, the Family Ski Package includes three-day lift tickets for up to two adults and two children (12 years or younger), three-day ski or board performance rentals for the same number of people, and complimentary meals for children five and younger (excluding any snacks from your room's private bar). Or get a third night free for every consecutive two-paid nights. At the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa, the Ski Free, Stay Free package allow customers to get a fourth night free after three consecutive paid nights, plus two four-day lift tickets.

Click on the following links for more Register coverage from UCLA's victory over USC:
LOS ANGELES – USC had the narrative and the momentum Saturday night, but UCLA had Brett Hundley. A talented quarterback will trump a storybook ending, every time.
The Trojans wanted to win, not only for themselves and not only to reclaim the city but for Ed Orgeron, their cherished interim coach who seemed on the verge of claiming the job permanently.
If Orgeron has to move out of his campus office this month, Hundley should at least swing by and help him carry boxes.
Hundley passed for 208 yards and rushed for 80 yards and two touchdowns as the No. 22 Bruins calmly, efficiently followed their quarterback's lead to a 35-14 victory in front of 86,037 at the Coliseum.
UCLA (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12) claimed its first victory over USC (9-4, 6-3) at the Coliseum since 1997, and the Bruins danced and celebrated at midfield after their second consecutive victory over the Trojans.
"Nobody gave us any credit last year," Hundley said. "This win validates it. … I never thought this was a battle. I never thought of this as a takeover. UCLA runs L.A., and we have another year to say it."
UCLA is likely headed to the Dec. 31 Sun Bowl, while USC might fall to the Dec. 21 Las Vegas Bowl.
Now, what becomes of Orgeron? His fate is in the hands of USC athletic director Pat Haden, but the wave of support that alumni and fans had generated on behalf of Orgeron is now likely to ebb.
Kevin Sumlin, a probable coaching target for Haden, likely took himself out of the running when he agreed to a new six-year contract Saturday. With USC's loss Saturday, expect Haden to take a long look at current college coaches such as Boise State's Chris Petersen and Vanderbilt's James Franklin.
If Haden intends to hire Orgeron, it's certainly not a slam dunk. A half-hour after Saturday's game, Haden told a Register reporter that he knew of no plans for a USC news conference Monday.
Had Saturday's game gone USC's way, it might have been Orgeron at the podium Monday as USC's permanent coach. The question now is, at 6-2, did Orgeron do enough to justify getting the job?
"If you look at the overall body of work, it's been pretty amazing what these young men have done," Orgeron said. "Obviously, we're disappointed, especially when you don't beat UCLA and Notre Dame. That's what the head coach at USC is supposed to do. I totally understand that has to be done."
Yes, Orgeron upset Stanford and Oregon State, but he also lost to USC's two major rivals. In his spotlight game, his final exam, Orgeron prepared his players all week, and they essentially flunked.
"One thing I'll say is, nobody should put the blame on Coach O," quarterback Cody Kessler said. "If you want to blame someone, blame me, blame the (team) leaders, blame the players. This is not on Coach O. It's not on Coach (Clay) Helton. It's not on Coach (Clancy) Pendergast. It's not on any of our coaches."
Forgive the Bruins if they seemed a little upset at the pregame chatter. Most of it centered around the No. 23 Trojans and their improbable rise after Orgeron replaced Lane Kiffin in late September.

But, of course, then I have the laundry people. My apartment is right on the fire wall next to the laundry room. People have to go through the fire door to get to the machines. (OH, more moaning upstairs..ick!) I hear the slamming all through the night about once or twice a week or so.
Of course, if I do go to sleep, I know it'll be a restless sleep. The subject in my dreams seems to be the same lately. I'm trying to stay away from the news, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I remember waking up last night from a dream. In my dream, someone or something had jumped across my bed from one side of me to the other. I was terrified and couldn't open my eyes. I tried to scream for help, but my voice wouldn't work. I tried again, and I got out a normal "help", but no scream. After some struggling, I finally got my eyes open. That's all I remember about that dream. The others weren't pleasant either, though.
I just really don't want to go to sleep right now....but my eyes won't stay open!

LOS ANGELES, December 6, 2013 — The controversy over religion's proper role in politics is an old one, and never fails to elicit strong feelings. This was again evidenced just days ago when Pope Francis issued his apostolic exhortation, in which he attacked the "tyranny of unfettered capitalism," and called on the wealthy nations of the world to provide "dignified work, education and healthcare" for its peoples, while rejecting the "economy of exclusion and inequality" that leaves so many behind.
The pope's comments have stirred a hornets' nest of debate here in America. They prompted liberal commentators like Randi Rhodes to celebrate the Pope's recognition of the incompatibility of "Ayn Randian" philosophy and Christianity. At the same time they forced conservatives like Rush Limbaugh into the uncomfortable position of having to criticize the head of the Catholic church, an institution that the conservative movement has been aggressive in courting in recent decades.
SEE RELATED: Did Pope Francis really say that?
The pope is right, of course; we should not submit to the idolatry of money. Whether his general criticisms of capitalism are correct, though, is debatable. What is disappointing about the pope's comments is not really their substance, but rather that he used his spiritual authority to emphasize a subjective, theologically informed set of policy positions. He did not emphasize the objective substance of the gospels, particularly as they pertain to human relationships.
We suffer from nothing more greatly in our current politics than from a lack of trust amongst people, leading to a lack of civility. This results in the inability of people in general and political leaders in particular to cooperate in efforts to tackle the very problems which Pope Francis decries.
There was a teacher who outlined a path to understanding and unity for mankind. That teacher was Jesus of Nazareth, and whether we are Christians or not, he shows us the pathway to a politics beyond ideology.
From an ethical-philosophical standpoint, Jesus' moral philosophy begins with the command to "love your neighbor as you love yourself." (Mark 12:31). This alone is almost a revolutionary concept in modern politics. His injunction to love our enemies — which Democrats and Republicans aren't really supposed to be — is even more remarkable.
SEE RELATED: Minimum wage and moral capitalism: Is America Scrooged?
But similarly fundamental is Jesus' teaching of non-judgment, and self-reflection. "Judge not, that you be not judged … and why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? … First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." (Matthew 7:1-5)
The practice of politics is now and has long been to emphasize and exaggerate the faults of the other side, while minimizing or covering up the flaws of one's own. This tendency has only gotten worse. Liberalism does not have the answer to all of our problems; neither does conservatism. One side may be more correct than the other over time, but that is insignificant compared to the moral imperative of abiding by the ethical strictures without which we will never grow towards a better society, whether the ideal be liberal, conservative or neither.
Jesus was willing to minister to adulterers, thieves and other sinners, to teach us to love our neighbors. So too ought the partisans in our nation be willing to reason calmly with one another, understanding that a difference of opinion does not justify reviling the other side. Insults should not be repaid with insults.
The angry words of Rush Limbaugh and Ed Schultz reflect the broad universe of insults thrown back and forth between left and right on a regular basis in America, and not just on TV and radio. This happens between ordinary people in their daily lives. Yet Jesus taught that he who calls another a fool risks hell fire, and cautions us that we will be judged for every idle word we say.
SEE RELATED: Hipsters reject corporate capitalism, but do they need God?
We should be careful with our words, in other words, because if we love one another as we ought to, and if in our political strivings we genuinely seek the best for even those who disagree with us, it is our words that will build an environment where understanding and unity between people is ultimately possible. May this truth of the gospels be reflected in our politics.

Comparing Medications for Adults With Type 2 Diabetes
Macrovascular and Microvascular Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Diabetes
There were 41 new studies identified in addition to the 25 studies included in the 2007 evidence report that addressed long-term clinical outcomes such as mortality, cardiovascular disease, stroke, retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. However, the new studies were generally of short duration (less than 1 year) and had few long-term events (such as death and cardiovascular disease), making any estimates of risk difference very imprecise. Therefore, most comparisons for this key question had a low strength of evidence.

Liberals are control freaks
Whether the liberals are passing a stimulus bill that creates a new government agency to compile an electronic database of the medical records of every American, "stealing" a working man's money and giving it to an illegal alien, or attempting to prevent a person from owning a gun to defend themselves, it is obvious that they are delusional control freaks.
Delusional liberals want to punish good, honest Americans.
However, with their simpleton mindset they think that criminals will be controlled by taking guns away from law abiding citizens.
They think it is wise to subsidize the unproductive in society by rewarding them with the fruit of another man's labor.
Liberals promote universal health care, yet they also think it is compassionate to ration this care and deny grandma's heart surgery because it is not cost effective.
This is not change—it is mob rule by the federal government.
Of course, the DC elite do not have to play by the same rules as the rest of Americans; they can cheat on their taxes and hang out with terrorists like Bill Ayers.
But let us focus on gun rights. In the landmark Heller case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment does not prohibit the use of handguns for self defense.
Justice Scalia writing for the majority boldly and unequivocally declared, "We start therefore with a strong presumption that the Second Amendment right is exercised and belongs to all Americans."
Despite this ruling, Democratic Congressman Bobby Rush filed HR 45, a licensing and registration bill.
Under the provisions of this bill, the government would give you permission to own a gun only after registering it, undergoing psychiatric testing, and being fingerprinted.
To top it off, you will have to pay a fee to own a gun which is a tax on your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Free men do not have to report ownership of their guns, pay taxes for the right to own a gun, and submit to psychiatric evaluations.
Only subjects of an oppressive government are forced to submit to this kind of treatment.
As Thomas Jefferson wisely noted, ". . . no free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
This bill is un-American and unconstitutional!
The liberals who support this legislation want you to keep your gun unloaded and locked up.
A lot of good this will do when you wake up to a burglar or rapist in your home.
Whatever happened to women's rights that the liberals are so committed to?
Shouldn't a woman have the right to choose to defend herself against a rapist?
The liberal elites want us to believe criminals will obey this law when criminals already ignore the numerous gun laws already on the books.
Obviously, liberals' brains are fried.
The only global warming going on in DC is in their heads.
To add insult to injury, if a minor gets his hands on a gun and hurts someone and the gun owner did not meet strict "safety requirements," then the gun owner faces federal jail time.
Instead of prosecuting Gitmo terrorists, the liberals want to prosecute patriotic Americans who want to protect their homes from criminals.
But I guess if you are a democrat you, might just "accidentally" forget what the law requires or walk away using the Chappaquiddick Kennedy defense.
A t-shirt for Gun Owners of America put it this way: "If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars make people drive drunk and spoons made Rosie O'Donnell fat."
Liberals probably think matches cause arson, too.
Personally, I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.
Growing up a good Texas girl who killed her first deer at the age of nine I wholeheartedly agree with what Charlton Heston said, "I will give you my gun when you take it from my cold, dead hands."
Gun control is not about controlling guns—it's about controlling people!

Aaron Hadlow and Flexifoil present the Hadlow Freestyle board. Built from the original design and shape of the late, great Colin McCulloch, the Freestyle brings innovative and unique features to the world of freestyle kitesurfing, as well as a style and look to boot. Aaron says, 'This board is the shape I worked on together with Colin over the years that helped me to achieve five World Championships. Its' unique flex and rocker-line combine to produce amazing performance for the best of riders and a comfortable, easy ride for any one just wanting to cruise.'
Clean, good looking patriotic graphics on the five time World Champion's pro model ? you're going to feel pretty special walking around with this under your arm, but surely you'll have to be a pretty special rider to ride it, won't you? So you'd think, but this couldn't be further from the truth!
When we first picked the board up we said, 'Wow, there's a lot of rocker in there for a twin-tip.' We turned it over and saw a moderate concave which made up for what the extra rocker-line would take away from the board's speed. The rails are fairly thin but at first it looks like a typical Colin McCulloch board, just with more rocker and a little more length over width, which seemed strange most freestyle boards are getting wider than getting longer.
The foot straps are fairly standard, nothing outstanding, but you get on with them straight away. They're like coming home. What is so surprising is that this board is as good for intermediate riders as it is for top end riders. What good news! It's not the fastest twin-tip, but it's quick and you notice that immediately. The soft, smooth feeling from the concave also makes it easy to ride. It's really not that technical and the exaggerated rocker-line means you don't have to use so much back foot pressure. In flat or choppy water, it's very easy to ride.
What we liked best about the Freestyle though is the connection you have with your back foot. We've talked about progressive edge control before in twin-tips, and this has oodles of it. When you load it up, even for something as simple as heel-side carve, the board moulds itself to the water and has a wonderful feeling. It never skids. Edging for a trick, it connects to the water and the energy seemingly travels through you and throws you aggressively when you're ready. The flex pattern is just sublime. It's like the board is friends with the water and can get it to do just what it wants. Of course it's incredible for freestyle, but we also found ourselves doing big carves on it and just throwing rainbows all day. It's got immense grip in a very dignified way.
For someone between 75 and 85 kilos, it's just perfect. That extra bit of length in the tips and the flex pattern provides lots of energy when you need it, but also sublime control. It's remarkable that a board fit for a World Champion could also be bought by someone as their first real board, and it's strong, too. There are faster, more hard popping boards, but they don't have such a beautiful combination of everything. The feeling on the back foot is by far the most outstanding thing and quite unique. Bully goes so far as to say, that this is the most all-round performing board he's ever been on. Suck-up!
The progressive edge control.
We would be mad to mess with it.

Speaking of the Nova, anyone know why my Nova suddenly got a 0.16 firerate?
weird, but something very useful to know
Also, after playing a PvP match with the Nova, it's fire rate will change to .16 kinda weird since it doesn't do that with any other weapon. THOUGH once you exit out of the app, it will revert back to the .25 firerate, so you will just have play another PvP match to get it back to .16.
Update just hit with a few new things
-New Boss, PvP Maps and Armors
-Bosses accessible in Single Player
-iPad 3 Support
-Separated Gold/Mithril Drop Pool(Each Boss Reward is now scaled separately! Now In order to get Max Money Gain per Day, You need to kill every boss, Not Just the highest you can do. This means that money is now easier to obtain from Boss Runs)(One of the Tips on the game says: Each boss now has their own mithril drop rates )
-Bug Fixes (One of these might be the Nova glitch... can't confirm ATM though)
New Boss
- Portal Snake =O
I got 1.069M out of the battle... 935,998 from the boss (Got 4 Mithrils on my second kill)
EDIT: Ok here's what I'm seeing...
- New intro screen
- Badass main menu screen(I would like to ask the devs if they could release that background cuz i want it )
- Reworked Single Player stage select
- NEW Single Player map with 5 waves(Which is locked for me for some reason... I've beaten everything except boss stages)
- 3 Boss Stages on Single Player(Mantis, Spider, Sieg)(OF NOTE: Single Player Bosses DON'T GIVE MITHRIL)
- 2 NEW Armor sets... A white and gold one(Bought with gold) and a Dark Blue one(Looks VERY Problematic as it has like 12k MORE HP than the Phoenix armor and has an ability that heals 10k HP, -30% Less dmg taken and +1 speed for 15 secs, at every 120 secs... Oh and the chest costs 180 Mithrils, gloves cost 150)
- Float Backpack received some better animations, and so did the Windblade Windblade looks so badass now and it seems to swing faster ._.
- Monster Projectiles got a graphics overhaul too
- Graphics on the Mantis boss stage seem to have low res textures now ._. And the "nests" seem to be missing
- Windblade is now 200% cooler now. Seems like it's effective range is bigger now, it's projectiles travel faster and look better.
- Single Player boss rewards scale down with each kill, just like in Online Mode

Tried out the new boss, pretty fun. Not very hard though. I beat him without getting hit...and I"m using thunder armor and sam pack with M-2781 minigun. Though I got 809000 gold, and combined with the gold I got from the aliens I got over 1 mil. Pretty good gold for the first 2 or 3 kills.
and Yup, the boss is pretty easy but a very fun battle nonetheless
EDIT: Nope, u weren't with me on the first match, but it was a lobby made by you, my second kill, u were there... just now
Last edited by Drexiel; 05-07-2012 at 03:32 AM..
haha yeah, I saw ya. =p
Dude...that boss didn't do half of those moves the first time I fought him. When I first fought him he never went under ground or teleported through walls...dude haha was a bit harder then my first attempt.
He used all of those the first time i killed him.... He gives a lot of money... but hits like a 5 year old girl... he ran me over and took like 3k hp..... monsters b4 the boss hit harder....
gotta take advantage of this now b4 he gets buffed xD
BTW something I noticed...
When he goes underground... while his tail is still out, you can see where he is coming out next....
and as for the portals.... I just go to the one he went trough, easier to spot where the next portal spawned...
Since he's so easy, imma have to change to the thunder set
yeah the only issue I have the with the fight is that...before you get to him, the aliens before that hit like a truck, 3 hits and your dead (when using thunder armor). Though not to bad if you NEVER stand still for very long, and when your moving make sure that you are walking FORWARD when attacking so that nothing can come up from behind and attack you...cause you'll move to fast so the most they can do is reach you, stop try to attack, but by then your way out of their range. So make sure your always moving forward when firing, and when you hit a wall quickly turn around maybe strafe for a second or two to pick off any aliens that are on your tail, then continue to move forward and etc. Very simple method really, its how I rarely die with thunder armor here when I'm doing levels out of the armor's league.
EDIT: also..I'm kinda falling in love with the new white/gold armor set that just came out. It gives 2!!, yes 2!!! additional SPD so I move like a lightening bolt! also get 25% POW, so easy to play now...haha and you get 5% additional gold, so I'm almost contemplating changing my main armor set...DX I'll miss you my wonderful thunder armor...lol though I'll probably still use the thunder armor the most for when farming gold for the first 3 boss kills of each boss or just helping out new players on easy bosses, but after that I'm gonna use the new white/gold armor. =D

Lift / breast Implants after reduction...
I used to have large but perfect breasts when I was 18 and weighed about 120 pounds...Then I got pregnant and gained a lot of weight. I ended up having a breast reduction, then a tummy tuck. Now I am 15 pounds away from my goal weight (have lost 30 pounds since the reduction 3 years ago...) and my breasts are now sagging and deflated. Does anyone have experience with having a reduction, then having a lift and implants? Also, I am not sure if I REALLY need the lift, but I am looking to have very perky breasts so I will probably need it. I am wondering if the scar tissue that exists inside of my breasts from the reduction will change the way implants will look on me or if they will even matter at all.
Any input is greatly appreciated :)
I am going to start consults as soon as I hit my goal weight- and I can't wait so it is just more motivation for me :)
Yes, Christina, you can get implants after a breast reduction.
You might not need the lift, as the breast implants themselves may suffice.
I had a friend that came super close to getting to getting a breast reduction when she was around that age, but a few years later when she lost the weight she didn't need it. To me it sounds like you were in a similar situation... that you probably shouldn't have gotten the reduction back then (since you said they were already perfect when you were 18). But that's not your fault, your plastic surgeon should have been the one to take that possibility into consideration.
But moving forward, yes as Robyne said you can can get breast implants but may need a lift too :)
A lift with the implants might also make things look better, depending on the expertise of your surgeon. :)

With a bit of luck and dedication I think current times are good to get your tank into raiding.
As a tank you'll have to go the long road though: heroics, nax10, nax25 and only then begin thinking about Ulduar.
Luckily on my server at least, Nax 10 and 25 are pugged on a very very regular basis. Also the tanks of the raiding guilds doing Ulduar won't do Nax anymore because being fed up with it and those PuG raids are often filled with alts of said raiders.
But.......it's gona cost you.......it's time to get the cash out and get all the crafted epics (and blues if needed, the crafted epics from runed orbs might be too expensive), get enchanted to the teeth and get everything from heroics you can (tier tokens last if you even need them and also make sure you wear the right tabard so you can get the headenchant) and dive into raiding. The pvp stamina shoulder enchant is very good, so even without hodir rep you should get them enchanted.
I'd advise to primarily focus on heavily stacking stamina while being critimmune because healers these days won't go oom. Good starters are obsidian sanctum and then Nax. (I would have said VoA previously but Emalan can be a bit hard.)
Good luck..............but be prepared to run into the Horribad PuGs once in a while. Don't let it get your spirit down though.

Updated from 12:22 p.m. ET with additional details from Wednesday's conference call and the February ruling involving Flagstar Bancorp and Assured Guaranty.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America (BAC) set aside additional funds to cover legal exposure tied to monoline bond insurer MBIA (MBI), according to remarks by CFO Bruce Thompson on the company's first-quarter earnings conference call.
Bank of America and MBIA have been locked in lengthy litigation tied to mortgages sold by Countrywide Financial, which Bank of America acquired in 2008. Analysts who follow Bank of America and others who cover MBIA eventually expect a settlement in the range of $2 billion to $3 billion, but so far a deal has taken longer than most expected.
Nonetheless, a ruling in a similar case against Flagstar Bancorp (FBC) in a suit brought by Assured Guaranty (AGO) was widely seen as favorable to MBIA. The February ruling by Jed Rakoff, a judge for the U.S. Southern District of New York, ordered Flagstar to pay monoline Assured Guaranty $90.1 million in damages in a dispute over mortgage-backed securities (MBS) worth more than $900 million at issue.Bernstein Research analyst John McDonald alluded to the settlement in a question to Thompson during Wednesday's call, asking why Bank of America hadn't increased its range of possible losses above existing accruals for MBS litigation exposure. It remains at $4 billion, which is what is was at the end of the fourth quarter. "You should assume there was additional monies during the quarter in litigation expense that was set aside for the monolines," Thompson told McDonald. While Thompson did not say specifically that MBIA was the monoline insurer to which he was referring, he had said in response to a previous question that of the three "significant" monolines the bank did business with, it has settled with two. He then added that "the one that obviously gets a lot of press is MBIA that continues to be out there." Thompson's comments were cited in a report Wednesday by BTIG analyst Mark Palmer, who has been recommending MBIA shares. Palmer wrote that Thompson's comments "should have caused investors in buy-rated MBIA to perk up." Bank of America has $900 million in additional litigation expenses in the first quarter, though part of that figure consisted of a settlement of an "independent foreclosure review" involving 13 mortgage servicers and U.S. banking regulators over servicing issues. MBIA shares were down 1.60% to $9.85 in early afternoon trading on Wednesday. An MBIA spokesman declined to comment. A call to a Bank of America spokesman was not returned. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow @dan_freed

A Sock Monkey Apron
It's been on my to-do list for months and I finally did it. I made a sock monkey apron for Dulce, the sock monkey queen. I made an embroidery pattern from one of the photos I took of her monkeys and embroidered like mad while watching the Olympics Saturday night.
Everything was going swell until I sprayed the embroidery with water to erase the water soluble pen lines. To my horror, the red dye in the embroidery floss bled slightly onto the white fabric. I couldn't believe it. I anticipated every potential disaster but that one. So, in the end, the monkey has a heavenly pink aura around it's head.
Thankfully, Dulce was gracious about accepting the smudged apron as payback for the darling monkeys she gave my children. She put the apron on right away and made me feel better about the craft mishap. My word.
Thanks again, Dulce. The girls LOVE their sock monkeys.
Do any of you know if colorfast embroidery floss is available on the market? Unless I can find a colorfast product, I might have to start washing my floss by hand ahead of time or something. Either way, I need to figure this out before my next project.

That monkey is the cutest ever! I love it!
So sorry about the bleeding of the floss. I never would have thought that. That shouldn't have happened I would have assumed it was colorfast – would almost want to contact the company. Well, I guess I did have something similar happen to me. I didn't know I had to prewash trim for sewing and it bled into my garment – so mad!
I would hate to think you'd have to prewash embroidery floss – that would totally be a pain!

OMG, it looks JUST like her monkeys! It is adorable! I love the fabric you used for the bottom. It just goes perfect!
I would never have thought of the thread bleeding. OYE! Maybe try the stuff you are supposed to use for blankets? Oh I can't remember the name of it. It is wash safe, because most use it to put a blanket stitch around fleece to make a blanket. If I think of it I'll post again!

I love the sock monkey… So cute… I have a way to stop the red floss from running… When I used to cross stitch they would say to soak the red thread in water and white vinegar… It would set the dye and keep it from running… I hope it works for you :)

I love my new apron. Jennifer you need an etsy shop, and only sell aprons. Every one at the artisan market loved the apron, and they said I was so lucky to have received such an amazing apron, from such an amazing reporter. You are amazing and a great friend, Thank you so much for my apron, I will cherish it for ever.

I love the apron! I was going to suggest what someone already did…soak your floss in that vinagar solution…it really works! It takes some time, but it's worth it…after all, you spent a lot of time on that apron.

Next time you could try one of those color grabber sheets that you throw in the wash. I have heard it will reverse the damage.

Try using synthropol next time in the first wash after you finish the project. It should capture any errant dye. Good luck.
