Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich delivers remarks at a campaign rally in Cocoa, Florida, on Wednesday, January 25, 2012.
Photo: Joe Burbank, Mct - Mct
Ever wondered what the opposite of an endorsement is? It's this letter from Bob Dole on Thursday, blasting Newt Gingrich five days before the Florida primary.
Dole calls Gingrich a "one-man band who rarely took advice," who "had a new idea every minute and most of them were off the wall." He writes that "if we want to avoid an Obama landslide in November, Republicans should nominate Governor Romney as our standard bearer."
But the climax comes in a shining sentence that beggars description. During Dole's run for president in 1996:
"Newt would show up at the campaign headquarters with an empty ice-bucket in his hand — that was a symbol of some sort for him — and I never did know what he was doing or why he was doing it."
First Newt's landing on the moon. Then he's wandering around to Bob Dole's campaign headquarters with symbolic empty ice buckets. Or maybe this is just a nightmare Bob Dole had that he's trying to exorcise through letter-writing.
I have no idea what this means. I suspect Bob Dole does not either.
The trouble with Newt is that you can say a thing like this and everyone who reads it will nod understandingly.
"Seems like the Newt I know," they mutter.
This is a man who wanted to put mirrors in space to light the streets. An empty ice bucket? A symbol? Of what? Why? Who on earth knows!
Dole doesn't. Neither does anyone else.
"I never did know what he was doing or why he was doing it."
It is a sentence that only Bob Dole could have uttered, but it captures the Gingrich problem pretty well.
Some people find this quality in Gingrich impressive. Most — Dole included — find it troubling.
Let's see what Florida thinks.

Dingle - Tralee Railway
Its formal and official title was the Tralee and Dingle Light Railway. It had the most hazardous route of any rail line in Ireland, traversing, as it did, the mountains of the Dingle Peninsula. In its day it was probably the most photographed railway line in the world attracting light railway enthusiasts from all parts. Its life span was a bare 62 years, but in that short space it carved for itself an unfading niche in the history of the railways of Ireland.
Work Begins on the railway line
The building of a railway line from Tralee to Dingle was sanctioned by the Privy Council in the year 1884, but it got no further than the council chamber of local government. Four years later with the strong support of Sir Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry, sanction was again sought for the line. Again it was granted and because of the presence of a suitable and experienced contractor to undertake the project preliminary work began. Mr. Robert Worthington was the contractor and he had considerable experience in the laying of railway lines in other parts of Ireland.
The standard wide-gauge rails of 5ft. 3ins. were in general use in Ireland at the time, and Mr. Worthington was anxious to use this type for the Dingle line. The company overruled him and for the sake of economy the 3ft. narrow-gauge rails were used.The laying of this particular railway line presented a tremendous challenge because of the natural contours of the Dingle Peninsula. There were 31 miles of steep ascents and rapid descents to be negotiated. The line was to have the steepest gradient of any Irish railway.
Late in 1888 the laying of the line began. Surprisingly, the contractor began at Blennerville edging westwards towards Dingle. The workmen assembled at 6am and continued working until 6pm. There was a break for breakfast at 9am and for dinner at 1pm, and they were paid two shillings, around 10p, with no pay for wet time. It took three years to build the line. The thirty-one miles to Dingle and the six miles of branch line to Castlegregory were completed in March 1891 at a cost of £2700 per mile. This was cheap compared to the cost of laying railways at the time. Dingle Tow had become the most westerly train terminal in Europe. Twenty-seven of the thirty-one miles of the line ran along the public road with no protecting fence. Because of the nature of the route to Dingle there was a maximum speed of 12 miles per hour. This may seem very slow to the modern mind, but it was vastly superior to the horse-drawn carriages which proceeded the coming of the train. The passenger coaches were lighted by oil lamps until 1917 when they were replaced by electric lighting.
Most hazardous route of any rail line in Ireland
There were a few accidents on the line; the most serious one occurring on may 22, 1893, when three persons were killed. On that day there was a pig fair in Dingle and a special train left for Tralee hauling seven wagons of pigs. There was also one passenger coach, in which there were 38 people, mostly pig buyers. Nine others travelled in the guards van and the engine had a crew of three. Descending the steep gradient from Glounagalt (Gleann na Gealt - the Valley of the Mad) to Camp the train went out of control, careered down the hill and crashed over the bridge at Curraduff, Camp. The engine tumbled 40ft down the slope into the Finglas river. The three crew members in the engine were killed. They were Alfred Redshaw, the driver, Richard Dillon, the fireman, and Barney O'Loughlin, a permanent way inspector.The coach with the passengers hung precariously over the edge of the parapet, but miraculously it did not tumble over. Many of the passengers received minor injuries and some suffered from shock. Carcasses of pigs were strewn along the embankment. An interesting point regarding the engine involved. It was salvaged from the wreckage, repaired and actually served on the line until its final closure in 1953.
The Great Southern Railway
The Dingle railway line was not paying it's way and in an effort to keep it alive, it was taken over by the Great Southern Railway Company on January 1, 1925. It survived both for passenger traffic and for freight for a further 14 years. The death knell began to sound clearly for the line when, on April 17 1939, the Castlegregory branch line was closed altogether, and the Dingle line continued but for freight only. There was one goods train daily between Tralee and Dingle. This situation prevailed for most of the WWII years until the general fuel shortage caused a further curtailment - from 1944 to 1947 the train only ran "as required". From 1947 onward, there was one train per month - on the Dingle Cattle fair day, which was the last Saturday of the month
The End of the Line.
The final deathblow to the gallant little line came as a result of an enquiry held in Tralee on May 27, 1953. An order was made by the Transport Tribunal closing the line for good. The last cattle train left Dingle station after the fair of Saturday, 26th June, 1953.There was one final outing for the train. It was a special journey from Tralee to Dingle station organised for the benefit of the Light Railway Transport League and the Irish Railway Record Society. A group of 45 people, which included Dermot Kinlen, grandson of Dingle's last MP Tom O'Donnell, travelled the thirty one miles of the line from Tralee to Dingle, with the late Bill O'Hanlon of Dykegate Street at the controls. The occasion was a nostalgic one and at the same time a gala one. To see the train once again arrive from Tralee and passengers disembarking at Dingle Station revived memories for many Dingle people present, and gave rise to regret at the definite end of an era. There was a welcoming party on the platform, headed by Parish Priest Canon Lyne, and the Rev. Mr. McCann, Church of Ireland Rector. A choir of school children sang a welcoming song, and were taken on a short trip out the Mail Road for their first and last Experience of travel on the celebrated Tralee and Dingle Light Railway.

ACP-ASIM Applauds House Decision on Medicare Modernization
July 2, 2002
(Washington, DC): The American College of Physicians - American College of Physicians (ACP-ASIM) applauds the House of Representatives for its passage of the Medicare Modernization and Prescription Drug Act of 2002 (H.R. 4954) on June 28. The legislation would prevent further dramatic reductions in payments to Medicare health care providers and includes regulatory reform that will reduce unnecessary paperwork for physicians.
"The House of Representatives has taken a vital step to maintain the integrity of the Medicare system," said ACP-ASIM President Sara Walker, MD, MACP. "The House action will help ensure that Medicare patients continue to enjoy high quality medical care combined with secure access to health care providers."
The ACP-ASIM has repeatedly raised concerns that past and future reductions in physician Medicare reimbursements would erode patient access to health care. Medicare payments to physicians were cut 5.4 percent across the board beginning January 1, 2002. By 2005 Medicare payments for physician services could be reduced by 18.3 percent before inflation and 28.1 percent after inflation (relative to 2001).
The House legislation will:
Replace the deep cuts in the Medicare fee schedule that would otherwise take place over the next three years with positive updates of approximately two percent in each of these years.
Increase Medicare funding for Indirect Medical Education over the next two years.
Mandate regulatory reforms supported by ACP-ASIM that would guarantee physicians receive reliable billing guidance from local Medicare carriers, due process protections during audits of problematic charges, and fair payment plans.
Authorize coverage of an initial preventive physical examination upon enrollment in Medicare Part B. The deductible and co-payment that are normally required would be waived for this exam.
"We urge the Senate to pass legislation similar to that supported by the House of Representatives before the August recess," said Dr. Walker. "The House action represents a great win for both physicians and patients."
The American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine is the nation's largest medical specialty organization and the second largest medical association. Membership encompasses over 150,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students.

MUSIC VIDEO / 'SHE WILL NEVER KNOW' by Polo Club

Polo Club are often described as innovative for their blending of old school production techniques with modern technology, which results in a sound that is truly original, driving and somewhat powerful, it is the desire for constant progression that drives Polo Club to create music often un-touched within the Australian music scene.
The track "She will never know" takes you into a place that we all recognise. Love, pain, passion and lust. The dark side of life that some long for and others steer well clear from.

3,500 Representatives Expected To Attend Primerica's African American Leadership Council 13th Annual Conference In Atlanta
Primerica, Inc. (NYSE:PRI), the largest independent financial services marketing company in North America, announced that it will host approximately 3,500 representatives from across North America for its 13th Annual African American Leadership Council (AALC) meeting in Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center, March 15-17.
The event includes a variety of workshops focused on leadership, product training and a variety of financial and marketing topics that are designed to enhance and grow their Primerica businesses. Also scheduled for Saturday night is a large general session attended by everyone registered for the conference.
The meeting will focus on the great opportunities that exist to educate middle-income African American families about how to better prepare for a secure financial future. African Americans are an increasingly upwardly mobile demographic as evidenced by a 64% increase in households earning $75,000 or more between 2000 and 2009 and today have an estimated buying power of some $1 trillion, yet when asked in a recent survey if financial services companies effectively engage and show support for the black community, 78% of African American respondents answered no.
Senior National Sales Director and Co-Chairman of the AALC, John Lennon of Greensboro, North Carolina said, "Today, middle-income families are faced with tough financial challenges and attendees will emerge from this conference better prepared to help Main Street families. Almost 80% of African Americans say they are either way behind or haven't even started saving for retirement. Primerica has more than 90,000 representatives and we do a great job of meeting face-to-face with Main Street families in their homes and educate them about the basic principles of how money works."Ivan Earle, Primerica Senior National Sales Director and AALC Co-Chairman of Columbia, South Carolina said, "This annual conference provides a tremendous opportunity for us to mentor, motivate and speed up the learning curve for everyone in attendance. Another important part of this meeting is to recognize and reward the success of Primerica representatives for their business accomplishments."

Your student organization is planning on attending an off-campus conference. The group
wants to drive their personal vehicles to the event. Several of the members are under 21,

Students in an organization are creating t-shirts for an event. They want to create
different shirts for the new members of the organization. Is this hazing? How do you
resolve the issue?
[ Show Text ]
A basic definition of hazing is "Hazing is anything that separates the new members from the active members." Since the new members would be wearing different shirts, this is hazing. While this scenario may seem trivial, it can have dangerous effects. It can end up being a gateway activity that can lead to other problematic scenarios of separating the new members. A student organization should be one unified group. No t-shirt separation needed!
New members are required to attend new member meetings for an organization. Older members
are not required to attend. Is this hazing? How do you prevent this situation from
involving hazing?
[ Show Text ]
This is tough as new members need to learn the material older members have already learned. It may be ed hazing to just have new members at new member meetings. The way to work with this situation is to have mentor members (who are active members) attend with the new members or open the event to the entire chapter.
Members of your organization are going to the bars on Mill Avenue together. It is not an official
organization event. Some members will be bringing their fake IDs and most members will be
intoxicated at this event. How do you deal with this situation? How do you express to
officers the role they have in upholding the organization's values at all times?
[ Show Text ]
Organization members need to remember they are members of their organizations 24/7. The same rules apply whether it is an official event or just members of the organization getting together. The key here is to challenge the officers to hold their members accountable. Great student organizations have leaders that are respected more importantly than being popular; leaders who hold their members accountable.

Borne on the desert wind comes the sweet
scent of spice and sandal.
It lifts my spirit and tunes my soul like the strings of a harp.
I close my eyes and dream of my fathers palace, gleaming in the
day's heat
I long for the coolness of fountains, and the sound of my fathers
For I am the daughter of Solomon.
I lie within a tent of silk brought from the
furthest cities of the East.
My cushions are scented with Spikenard , Jasmine, and Musk.
My skin is soothed with oils from Arabia and fragrant with Attar
of Rose.
In all my fathers kingdom there is none so close to the heart
of the king.
For I am the daughter of Solomon.
I am the colour of the dusky grape that takes
its sweetness from the sun.
My hair is the colour of a raven's wing , soft as a whisper
in the night.
My eyes hold secrets no other woman has taught to man, nor ever
Within my mouth lies honey for the taking, if you dare to seek
For I am the daughter of Solomon.
No man has known me or felt the warm touch of
my hand upon his face.
I am a gift fit only for an emperor of my father's choosing
. In all my life, not one moment will I have alone to savour the
silence within.
The endless chatter around me deadens my thoughts, and I rage
For I am the daughter of Solomon.
Not for me the wise discourse of learned minds,
the freedom to think.
Only the language of the silken couch and the watchful eyes of
But I look beyond this time to a distant sunset in a distant land.
For one wild sweet moment I know the joy of freedom and I am content.
For I am the daughter of Solomon.
I know the course that has been set for
me in this fierce land.of mine.
I will abide and live within the silken chains my destiny decrees.
I know my time will come and in that far land will lift my head
and say,
I am black and I am beautiful, I am wise and full of love
for I am the daughter of Solomon.

So what makes this January a bit more palatable? DOWNTON ABBEY RETURNS JANUARY 5th!!!
Yup, I'm one of them: a Downton fanatic. It was bound to happen, given the fact that I love all things England: we spent our Winey honeymoon there 29 years ago; I will read any and everything written about the Royal Family, with a special fondness for those wacky Tudors; I have an odd desire to get to know Jane Austen as my BFF and if you need any more proof: I got married in a Laura Ashley wedding dress. (It was the 80's, though.) And yes, the following little funny just might apply to me:
Now, if one epic, PBS-produced, Anglophile worshipping television series can make me look forward to another dreary old January, can you imagine the utter euphoria I experienced when I saw the following:
I am usually a somewhat prudent shopper, but upon seeing this, I whipped out my credit card faster than the Dowager Countess could cut you down to size with one of her infamous quips. "Stop whining and find something to do." "Vulgarity is no substitute for wit." And soon two bottles of Downton's finest arrived on the steps of my Winey Manor (ahem) House. (You can find the wine in the US on Wine.com. If you want to find it in store, World Market stores would be your best bet - but call ahead. You'll pay in the $15-17 a bottle range.)
According to the labels, "When Mr. Carson pulled a bottle of wine from the cellar for Lord and Lady Grantham, one could be assured it was a fine French Bordeaux, the wine of choice amongst the British nobility in Edwardian England." Bordeaux (France's largest wine growing area) wines are usually red. In England, they are referred to as Claret. Bordeaux is famous for its renowned wine producing Chateaus, and the Downton Bordeaux hail from "the famed Entre-Deux-Mers region of Bordeaux, France by Dulong Grand Vins, a family-owned vineyard with more than 130 years of winemaking experience."
So enough about the pedigree here, they had me at "Mr.Carson" anyway. Let's talk about the wines.
So enough about the pedigree here, they had me at "Mr.Carson" anyway. Let's talk about the wines.
|The Claret is definitely a
"Lady Edith" wine
|Definitely an Anna.....
|...with a bit of Patmore for fun!
Downton Abbey, season 4, premiers in the colonies (aka The United States), Sunday, January 5th at 9 pm on your PBS station. I suggest pouring a glass of either of the above, settling in next to a roaring fire with or without doggies at your side and start the year off in real style.

Free Webinars By StopORC.org To Combat Organized Retail Crime
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- StopORC.org, a major source of information, education and collaboration in combatting organized retail crime (ORC) that is sponsored by Universal Surveillance Systems LLC (USS), will host a series of free webinars beginning February 28 to better equip everyone engaged in combatting ORC. The semi-monthly events will feature subject matter experts who will cover current topics such as ORC trends, theft methods, prevention techniques, investigations, legislation, and how to work with law enforcement.
The first webinar will feature Michigan State Representative Joseph Graves who sponsored two successful 2012 Michigan House Bills, 5843 and 5902, that make organized retail crime a felony and punishable by up to five years imprisonment, a maximum fine of $5,000, or both.
Based on his successful bills, Graves' presentation will provide practical information on crafting and passing state ORC legislation including drafting effective but acceptable language, garnering support and overcoming challenges and opposition. In addition, he will provide suggestions on how webinar attendees can approach and work with legislators to generate similar legislation.
"Organized retail crime is a growing menace to our economy and society," said Rep. Graves. "It was my duty to sponsor legislation to protect retailers and law abiding citizens from these emboldened thieves. I hope to be able to help others duplicate my success across the nation."Adel Sayegh, founder of StopORC.org and president and CEO of Universal Surveillance Systems, said, "We are fortunate to have such a knowledgeable leader not only as our first guest on our webinars, but on our side fighting against ORC." The webinars are open only to those engaged in combatting ORC including loss prevention professionals, law enforcement officials, legislators, prosecutors, judges and security experts.

Salsa Invertebraxa by Mozchops (Worldwide)
Ages: 18+
Finished: Mar. 24, 2012
First Published: Oct. 31,
Publisher: Pecksniff Press
Genre: graphic novel, fantasy, verse
First verse:
"the forest is a silent witness,
a boundless muteness,
as silent as it is endless
along its
greencoat canopy"
Publisher's Summary: "Salsa Invertebraxa is the odyssey of two invertebrate companions, who journey through a vibrant world of imaginary insects and flora. By sunlight, new species of insect emerge to feed and flirt among surreal landscapes of gigantic flowers and gardens of terrestrial delights. By moonlight, this unearthly microverse becomes a nightmare shadowscape as the two
kleptomaniacs attempt to steal eggs from monstrous super-predators. The tranquillity of eden trembles with war and rage, as a deadly game of survival plays out. Salsa Invertebraxa is for all readers, a magical window into a beautiful, dangerous and mysterious world."
Acquired: Received a review copy from Pecksniff Press.
Reason for Reading: The book looked beautiful and sounded interesting.
First off, let me say that I was not going to give this book a rating as I was flummoxed as to what I should rate it. This has never happened to me before but then when I thought about it, not giving the book a rating was copping out. My rating is like giving the book a 50%; I kind of feel like the right person would enjoy this book much more than I did and could deservedly give it a higher rating.
The illustration is absolutely fantastic, stunning and what I appreciated about this book. On illustration alone I would rate it a 5/5. Each page is awesome and the book is printed in an over sized horizontal format to really emphasize the panoramic views. Even though we are looking at insects here, they are up close and take on the aspects of an almost alien species. If these were photographs, I'd be freaked out by the insects but these CG paintings are incredibly beautiful.
As to the book's story. It is in verse and to tell the truth I was utterly confused. Here my rating would be a 0/5. You can read the publisher's summary but from reading the words I had no idea what was going on. Certain phrases and groups of words appealed to my sense of literature, but I am not a poetry person and could not find a story within the verse. All I could tell was the beginning was happy, then the story turned very dark in the middle and finally became exhilarating at the end. However, I do not read a book to receive random emotions. I think the right person for this book must first be someone who appreciates unorthodox verse, then secondly will appreciate the illustration of that verse. This was not my kind of book.
A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Pro-Family, Pro-Oxford Comma, Catholic (with Asperger's) who reads and writes as her obsession. These are the ramblings of the books I read.
I sometimes go through stages of "genre love", I'm addicted to mystery thrillers, Catholic theology, memoirs, 20th century Chinese historical fiction & Victorian fiction, and nonfiction; but you'll find I read an even wider variety of books than that. I have a teensy fascination with macabre non-fiction books about death and anything about insane asylums.
I also tend to post a lot of reviews of juvenile/teen books, with a nod towards what parents can expect to find that might or might not be objectionable.
I also blog about graphic novels and manga on a separate BLOG.

The Office of Sustainability has partnered with local event organizers to create the Positive Impact on Climate and Community (PICC) program.
PICC joins the City's commitment to climate protection leadership with Austin's unique reputation as the Live Music Capital of the World. Large events and festivals in Austin involve over a million attendees annually and have a large environmental impact involving air and ground transportation, energy and water usage, food service, and material waste. By working together, the Office of Sustainability and the event organizers behind some of the largest events in the city will be able to offer a unified approach to carbon offsets to mitigate some of these impacts, while also supporting local projects that benefit the Austin community.
Now you can JOIN THE EFFORT.
Funds raised voluntarily through the Austin City Limits Music Festival will benefit the PICC program, with 50% of the dollars raised supporting Waller Creek Conservancy and 50% used to purchase third-party-verified carbon offset projects in Texas through the Texas Climate & Carbon Exchange. Art Market vendors at the Austin City Limits Music Festival will designate specialty items for sale to support PICC. You can help by checking out the Art Market at this year's ACL Music Festival and making a PICC purchase – join the effort and support projects that benefit Austin.
About the Austin City Limits Music Festival: The ACL Festival takes place on 46 acres in Zilker Park – the crown jewel of Austin's public green spaces. It plays host not only to 130+ artists from across the globe, but also amazing local eats and wares, free fun for kids, green goings-on, and other cool activities to entertain you between sets.
About the Waller Creek Conservancy: Waller Creek represents the largest urban creek in the nation to undergo the level of transformation the conservancy envisions. This project will completely transform how disconnected entities and interests relate and interact with each other. While the impact area at hand is 28 acres, the conservancy is encouraging designers to pay special attention to key links and passages connecting people and the environment to the targeted redevelopment zone.
About the Texas Climate & Carbon Exchange: TCCX was founded in 2011 to advance greenhouse gas reduction and offset trading programs in the United States. It provides a secure and cost effective manner for cities, corporations, utilities and individuals to buy or sell certified carbon offsets voluntarily or to meet regulatory standards via its electronic trading platform.

An Evening with Suzanne Vega and daughter Ruby Froom
- What:
- Suzanne Vega, "the quintessential female singersongwriter of the modern era," (Dallas Morning News) will perform works from her exceptional career with her daughter and upcoming musician Ruby Froom. Vega is known for her distinctive, clear vibrato-less voice, which has been described as "a cool, dry sandpaper-brushed near-whisper" and "plaintive but disarmingly powerful." Since releasing her critically-acclaimed debut album in 1985, Vega has been giving sold-out concerts in the world's best-known venues. Vega's song Tom's Diner was written about Tom's Restaurant at 112th Street and Broadway in New York City. This restaurant was later made famous because the exterior shots of Tom's were used in the sitcom Seinfeld.

@nickjhowe All I can say is that even on hard stops, the device never beeped. It beeped fairly easily on my other cars on stops that I wouldn't consider a hard stop. Like I said, maybe the MS doesn't actually deliver this info to the device.
In my case the Geico coverage met or exceeded my current coverage in every category, so I was pleased with the result.
Geico does let you adjust the amounts.
$670 per year with State Farm. 49 yo male, single, living in Chicago, multi-car discount (3 cars), clean driving record.
I should add, $1000 deductible.
Maybe the way the regen slows you doesn't actually register as a "hard stop" on the device. So smoooootthh.
@Brian H: But we're both guys (and USAA knows it), so ??? ;-) ;-) ;-)
@kishdude: The rate sounds good even before the 'big brother' discount, huh. Mine wasn't that good. Well, different areas and other information contributes, so really these comparisons we're making are a bit apple-to-orange, I suppose. Still, that sounds great. I suspect you're relying on regen, thus don't have to break quite as much or as sharply as in your old car?
@markapeterman: The quote I got from Geico was not outrageous, but not at all competitive with USAA or Progressive. I used their online tool. (shrug) I was going to get a quote from Erie (our homeowner insurance), but we've been less than 100% pleased with their ever-changing rules (don't make 2 claims within 3 years; over 3 years after our last claim it changed to "oh now it's 4 years"...grumble, WTF are we paying for? I suspect we'll move our homeowner to USAA if they offer it in our area).
USAA quoted me only 50 bucks more in place of my Jaguar...
Geico, by a mile for me. In round numbers, my current company of over 30 years, Allstate, were puzzled at first, but looked the car up and wanted over 2 grand/6 mos. Went to Geico on-line and found the same coverage for about $850 at Geico. Ended up increasing my coverage limits and getting other add-ons for under $1100. Half the price, 10 times the limits, though I did increase my deductible so the comparison isn't perfect. I will be paying less for my new Model S than I currently pay for a 2003 MB CLK 500. Bye, bye Allstate.
I got several quotes from Geico and all were much, much less than Allstate. I liked the way their site worked too. You could design your coverage and instantly receive a quote via email. I did it at least 4 ways and the emails made it very easy to compare them without doing anything special on the site. Geico has a drop-down menu for all 3 batteries so they are obviously ready to go when it comes to the Model S.
I also tried Progressive. Prices were comparable, but I didn't get the convenient emailed quotes and they push the "snapshot" feature hard. I want no part of a data recorder connected to my car's CPU reporting back to my insurance company. Too "Big Brother" for me, and yes, I realize Tesla knows everything about my car and driving habits but they are not my insurer. I not saying I'm prone to hot-rodding or anything. I have a pristine driving record with no accidents or tickets.
@Lush1: Definitely, Geico's web interface for this is great. Progressive may push the snapshot, but it's totally optional; the underwriter I talked with asked a few Qs, didn't push it hard, and based on my answers recommended not bothering. Note: It can only help, not hurt. (Though I'm paranoid enough to be concerned that would change--but it's a short-term device, not permanent, so I doubt it'll change.)
Someone found the "snapshot" device beeped a lot on his ICE car's "hard stops", but not at all on his MS, and resulted in a 30% discount. Must be that smooooth regen effect. Or SLT.
Just got my actual policy addendum from AAA. Limits are $500k/500k with $100 comp and $500 deductible. With multi driver, multi car, multi policies and good driver discounts the premium is $1009/yr for the MS. We'll save another 5% when we send in our Mature Driver Certificates which is good for 3 years.
AAA was one place (along with Erie) I didn't get around to getting a quote from. That sounds quite good!
It's really necessary to shop around before you choose what you think is the best for you... I got my car insurance as well as my CTP from BeyondCover... Their process is smooth and easy. Plus you can also have a chance to donate to your favorite charity! If you want to check out their site, just click in here.
My preferred provider, Met life auto and property company, said that the Tesla is on their do not insure list. Disappointed. Seems like Tesla needs to educate auto insurance companies on the model s.
@mickfair Hummm. I just got insurance cards from MetLife yesterday. My agent told me that the VIN wasn't in their system, but was able to still insure me based on pricing and other information about the car. I just looked at my cards and noticed that it says 2013 TVR Model S Hardtop, but displays the VIN that I supplied him. I am going to call back though, since I am now a little worried that this may cause issues if I am asked to show proof of insurance or need to submit a claim. I would prefer to go with USAA, but until I marry my fiancee, they won't give me the discounted rate. MetLife could give me the discount for living together for a number of years.
There are at least two other threads on this one, BUT I got my insurance from State Farm with no problem/delay. The premium is less than on my 2005 Buick!
WOW! I sure am jealous of some of the above insurance quotes. I live in Southern CA and we have had our share of tickets, bumps, and bruise. Three young drivers and a lead footed wife. Originally, I asked my Mercury agent for a Model 'S' quote and he came back with an unbelievably high quote. I politely asked him call Mercury and talk to a specialist (underwriter?) because this quote guaranteed the loss of my patronage.
While waiting for the new Mercury quote, I contacted: Geico, State Farm, Nationwide, Progressive, Travelers, and AAA. Bottom line, the new Mercury bid came back and they were less than ALL of the above. Now, it is hard to complain about Mercury. It was interesting to see how the quotes for my other four cars measured up.
Sorry if I sound like a commercial.
I inquired over the summer with State Farm and they didn't know anything about the car. My agent sent the info to the underwriters and gave me a quote. Actual policy is $480/semi-annual with $500 deductible. No tickets or accidents. House and Multi-car discounts. I'm in Ohio. If you live in a state with No Fault laws (like Michigan); insurance premiums are way higher. So your state laws will impact the premiums you pay. Just mentioning in case you did know that.
I've been very happy with Mercury Insurance.
Risk factor for MSes: The Joy of Silent Speed.
USAA quoted me $660 for 6 month policy. I'm in TX. I'm interested why other Texas drivers are getting a better deal, I have not had an accident or ticket in over a decade and I have all my insurance with USAA. Maybe I'll get a quote from State Farm.

Purpose – Cox's model with Weibull distribution and Cox's with exponential distribution are the most important models in reliability analysis. This paper seeks to show that, with a large sample size based on expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, both models give similar results. Design/methodology/approach – The parameters of the models have been estimated by method of maximum likelihood based on EM algorithm. The objective of this analysis is to fit the modification of Cox's model with Weibull distribution and Cox's with exponential distribution, examine its performance and compare their results with Crowder et al. Findings – A simulation study indicates that the parametric Cox's model with Weibull distribution gives similar results to Cox's with exponential distribution, especially for a large sample size. Also, the modification of the two models showed better results compared with Crowder et al., especially for the second causes of failure. Originality/value – A modification of the two competing risk models has mostly been applied in failure time data and simulation data. The results of the simulation study indicate that the Weibull and exponential are suitable for Cox's model as they are easy to use and it can achieve even higher accuracy compared with other distribution models.

Hundreds of family, friends and military personnel gathered in Chinatown Thursday to remember a local soldier killed overseas last week.
Army Private Danny Chen, 19, died while serving in Afghanistan, but his family says his death was not combat related.
They say Chen was bullied by other officers and was injured following an incident in the army barracks. However, they don't believe his death was a suicide.
"Danny was harassed by a group of bullies I would call them, and he was dragged out of bed and beaten. And they have proof of the injuries," said family interpreter Frank Gee.
"They do investigate, you know, and the truth should come out, you know, because the parents should have the right to ask for why my son died," said New York County American Legion Commander Harvard Tang.
Chen, a graduate of Pace High School, grew up in Chinatown and attended Baruch College briefly before enlisting In January.
His parents say he had hoped to become a member of the New York City Police Department after his service.
Chen's body will be buried in Westchester.
The Army says his death is under investigation.

A judge will hear arguments Thursday about whether the Colorado theater shooting suspect's university records can be turned over to prosecutors.
James Holmes, a former neuroscience doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado, is expected to attend the hearing. Prosecutors are seeking copies of 100 pages of non-medical education records subpoenaed by prosecutors and turned over last week by the school to Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester. Defense attorneys are seeking to suppress the subpoena and have asked that nobody, even Sylvester, examine the documents.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 others in a July 20 shooting at an Aurora theater.
Defense attorney Tamara Brady's legal reasoning about why Holmes' educational records should be off limits is unavailable. That portion of the court file remains sealed.
Prosecutors said in court that they need the documents to gain access to a notebook reportedly containing violent descriptions of an attack. The notebook reportedly was in a package sent to CU psychiatrist Lynne Fenton.
Court papers previously filed by defense attorneys for Holmes disclosed that prior to withdrawing from the university, he was a psychiatric patient of Fenton, CBS News reported. Fenton, sources told CBS News, became concerned enough to notify campus police about Holmes, and his name was brought to the attention of the university's Behavioral Evaluation and Threat Assessment team, or BETA for short. What was done with the information from there remains in question.
Holmes was seen by at least three different mental health professionals from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus during his time as a neuroscience Ph.D. student, even while investigators believe he began the initial planning to carry out the massacre, CBS News reported.
An official who has been briefed on the investigation and spoke to CBS News on the condition of anonymity said Holmes' statements to university officials as well as their notes and reports will raise questions about whether more could have been done before the shooting.
"The question, what did the university know, and when did they know it, is still the untold part of this story," the official said.
Defense attorney Daniel King during court hearings said the notebook is protected by a doctor-patient relationship. King claims that Holmes is mentally ill and sought Fenton for help with that illness.
Fenton is expected to testify at a hearing Aug. 30.
Former Denver Deputy District Attorney and law professor Karen Steinhauser said arguments over the records are part of both sides gearing up for a trial over Holmes' sanity.
"They know it's not a question of who did this," Steinhauser said. "This is not a question of self-defense. They know that the only possible defense is that he was not sane at the time."
School records don't have the same legal protection as communication between a doctor and patient. But Steinhauser said prosecutors would have to tell a judge why they want them.
Steinhauser said the school records, which could include emails, might help prosecutors establish that Holmes implicitly waived his right to privacy if he talked about some of the same things he spoke to his doctor about.
The university records could also contain his school application, recommendation letters, emails between professors about their impressions of Holmes, as well his grades and progress reports on his research. Educational records released by the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, a school Holmes considered attending, contained such information including a letter of recommendation that describes Holmes as having "a great amount of intellectual and emotional maturity."
"They want those records in the hopes that it could help them build their case that these are not the actions of an insane man," Steinhauser said.

First I cut the fly sheets, and attach them to the pages with a strip of glue. Then I prepare the cover for attaching to the fly sheets. After cutting two cover boards from a large sheet, I place them side by side, and glue the strip of leather between the two. When that's dry, I cover the fronts of the covers with a pretty decorative paper, pulling the paper up just over the edge of the leather, and making sure that there are no unattractive bubbles under the paper from it buckling from the glue. Both the leather & the paper are folded over the edges of the boards, to cover the sides, and the edges of the interior of the covers.

The materials used for these books are:
Strip of leather
Text pages torn from large sheets
Decorative paper cut from large sheets
Waxed thread
The books are usually one of a kind because they are made from "leftover" strips of leather. They take somewhere around a half hour to 45 minutes or so to make, not counting time for glue drying & pressing.
These books are an inexpensive way to get your feet wet with checking out handbound books. I sell them currently for $16.50. They come in many different varieties, but if you want one, but don't see exactly what you'd like, feel free to contact me regarding a custom listing! I'd love to work with you!

"Who would you rather be: The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?" asks Metric frontwoman Emily Haines during Gimme Sympathy, an electric, soaring, synth-driven single from Fantasies, the band's 2009 album.
You can form your own opinion when they play in London on 23 and 24 May, but to our ears the Canadian indie-rockers don't sound a great deal like either of these 60s legends.
Not that this is a problem. It's quite the opposite in fact: Metric songs are more likely to feature pacey drums and synths than memorable guitar moments and there's a definite electro, new wave edge to their music. It's more Friendly Fires than Fab Four.
Metric aren't a new band – and they have pedigree, having enjoyed significant success at home. They picked up Alternative Album of the Year at this year's JUNO Awards, a kind of Canadian equivalent of the Brits, and their last album went to number eight in the charts there.
Can they replicate that success here in the UK? If musical talent and flair have anything to do with it, they probably should. Because whether bashing a synthesiser, holding the microphone aloft or simply dancing around on stage, Haines provides a suitably charismatic focal point for the band's shows.
But even if they don't quite manage to scale the heights hinted at by Stadium Love, a track tailor made to please huge crowds, Metric are seriously talented and definitely worth seeing. Catch them at Koko in Camden on 23 May or the Shepherd's Bush Empire on 24 May. Or at both, if you're really into them.
(Don't fancy Metric? You can choose from loads of other gig tickets over on lastminute.com.)
