Tesla Motors Successfully Fights Off Auto Dealership Assault in North Carolina

Tesla Model S
A North Carolina House committee denied a bill that tried to stop Tesla from selling directly to consumers
Tesla Motors landed a major win in North Carolina this week when the state threw out a bill that attempted to block the automaker from
selling its vehicles directly to consumers
A North Carolina House committee denied the bill Tuesday, which would have banned Tesla from selling its Roadster and Model S vehicles to consumers instead of auto dealerships in the state.
Also, Sen. Bill Rabon (R-Southport) said a separate bill -- which would update franchise dealer regulations -- could be rewritten in such a way that Tesla's business model could be protected.
The Senate's Commerce Committee approved the bill to kill Tesla's anti-dealer model in May. The bill was unsurprisingly backed by the North Carolina Automobile Dealers Association (NCADA).
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory and House Speaker Thom Tillis took test drives in the Model S back in May and were reportedly thrilled with the experience.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been fighting for the right to sell his clean vehicles directly to consumers without having to use auto dealerships as middlemen. However, auto dealers have been furious about this model because it takes business away from them.
Musk said he is open to a dealership model at some point when sales increase, since dealerships do promote competition and keep prices down. But that time isn't now.
Back in April of this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk openly
fought for a Texas bill
that would cut out the use of auto dealerships. The bill -- House Bill 3351 -- would allow distributors and manufacturers of electric vehicles (EVs) only to sell directly to customers without the use of dealerships. Musk even said that if the fight for the Texas bill
came down to a federal matter
, he would either lobby Congress to pass legislation for the direct sales of EVs made by startup companies like Tesla (and tie it to an energy or transportation bill) or file a federal lawsuit to fight the state restrictions as unconstitutional violations of interstate commerce.

However, Tesla lost this fight in both Texas in Virginia.
But Tesla has been successful in other states, such as
New York
, where a pair of bills (referred to as A07844 in the Assembly and S05725) tried to make it illegal to license -- or even renew licenses -- for all Tesla Stores within New York state borders. These bills were killed off on Monday.
This latest win in North Carolina further proves that Tesla is a force to be reckoned with in the American auto industry. The company was approved to receive a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in June 2009, which was part of the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program. The loan was to be repaid by 2022, but in March of this year, Tesla received permission to pay the loan back five years early by mid-2017.
However, Tesla managed to repay the whole sum last month --
nine years earlier
than expected from the original 2022 due date. This was mainly due to its decision to issue more stock the week before. Tesla said it wanted to sell about $830 million in shares, and use $450 million in convertible senior notes (which are due in 2018) along with sales of 2.7 million shares (valued at about $229 million at the time) to pay back its federal loan. This is an especially crucial detail in Tesla's history, considering other plug-in hybrid electric automaker Fisker Automotive (which also received a DOE loan) has
failed miserably
Before that, Tesla started shipping 500 Model S sedans per week starting in March of this year, exceeding the sales outlook of 4,500 posted in the February shareholder letter. In fact, Tesla managed to sell 4,900 Model S sedans in the first quarter. The automaker plans to deliver 21,000 total for the year, which slightly exceeds previous forecasts of about 20,000.
For Q1 2013, Tesla reported a net income of $11.2 million (a huge increase from an $89.9 million loss in the year-ago quarter). Excluding certain items, Tesla's profit came in at 12 cents a share, which was a boost from a loss of 76 cents a share in Q1 2012. Analysts expected a profit of about 4 cents a share. Revenue also saw a huge year-over-year boost, totaling $562 million (up from $30.2 million in the year-ago quarter).
On top of profitability and being debt-free, Tesla has been working hard to push new tech in the EV sector, such as its recent
battery swap tech
that takes only 90 seconds to complete and costs $60-$80. This is meant to extend range when there isn't time for a full recharge on the road. Tesla realizes that easing customer worries associated with EVs will lead to increased sales, and it seems to be working for the company so far.
At present, Tesla has only sold about 100 vehicles in North Carolina.

RE: Why the Fight?
An easy one is that would add unnecessary cost to the price of the car. They already have a high price on the car so they already have the task of convincing people it's worth it.
I think the most important reason is they'd relinquish control over their brand in terms of how and where the car is sold and marketed. If they were forced to work with dealers, wouldn't they have to wait for a potential dealer to agree to open one where they wanted?
Tesla would then also have to come to a contractual agreement with said dealer. Can you imagine how long and tedious that process would be? And they'd have to do this each and every time they worked with a new dealer...and maybe some dealers would agree to some terms and some would not, so you'd either have to manage varying agreements (and therefore introduce undesirable variability into the Tesla buying process) or try to force all dealers to the same agreement.
Again, it would slow them down, increase costs, dilute the brand...and what would the benefit be?
With the their current volumes and market position, it would make absolutely no sense to sell through the dealership system. It may be a different story when they get enough volume though.
"Let's face it, we're not changing the world. We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn." -- Seagate CEO Bill Watkins

Being put in a situation that may be good or bad, but overall is extremely tricky to handle. Not being able to deal with a tough spot may result in a tewwble job.
Realizing you don't have a tin of dip when you are on the first tee of 18 holes is a really tough spot.

The Nats look to make it eight in a row today at Nationals Park.
How do you keep a winning streak going? By not tinkering with success. Jim Riggleman never intended to make his pitcher-hitting-eighth idea a permanent one. But the Nationals haven't lost since the manager used the unconventional lineup for the first time last weekend in San Diego.
So, no reason to start making tweaks now. Jayson Werth remains in the leadoff spot today against the Orioles, and Jordan Zimmermann will bat eighth. Only change from last night is a swap of catchers, with Ivan Rodriguez behind the plate.
Brian Matusz, who has struggled since returning from the DL, starts for Baltimore. He'll face a stiff challenge in baseball's hottest team. With a victory today, the Nats would match their second-longest winning streak since arriving in the District.
Plenty of updates to come…

We all know Marquis is an animal…but two starts within 16 hours? Man, we never knew.GYFNG!

Guys, it's okay. Jason is just going into Beast Mode.Let's go NATS!!!!!!!
- Doc - Jun 18, 2011 at 3:53 PM
The way these guys are going, any pitcher you throw in should get the job done. Marquis needs to make up time for his 5 day suspension.
- Mark Zuckerman - Jun 18, 2011 at 3:57 PM
Sorry, guys. Quick turnaround from last night, and I clearly don't have all my faculties yet today. Hopefully the Nats got more sleep than I did!
- JaneB - Jun 18, 2011 at 4:29 PM
Just went to the Inside Pitch interview with Ian Desmond and got to say how much we appreciate his generosity with little kids. I know they are supposed to play ball, but few of these guys are as openly appreciative of the younger fans as he is. What a nice and unexpected early gift of being here!
- Sean Kelly - Jun 18, 2011 at 4:49 PM
haha love the smell of snarkiness in the mid to late morning. Hopefully with this win streak people in Greensboro NC will stop asking if I got my hat from Wallgreens… Even had one elderly Wallgreens employee offer to buy it from me to wear at work. This might be a flash in the pan, but the feel of this team has completely changed.
- Anonymous - Jun 18, 2011 at 4:56 PM
Thanks for the additional pregame points. Great info about Pudge working with Ramos on taking throws from the outfield. Really shows the team has the winning spirit, and the value that Pudge brings.
- LoveDaNats - Jun 18, 2011 at 5:03 PM
Had fun at the park yesterday. Love it when the crowd is into it. I was a little nervous that I'd mess up the streak since last year I went to over 15 games and only saw one win. But this seems like a new group of Nats……no attitude of defeat and going for the win.On the couch today but looking forward to watching JZimm get our 8th win!Yeah, Nats!
- Tim - Jun 18, 2011 at 5:06 PM
Jane… We went to the Cards/Nats opening game and was amazed to see Desi signing autographs up until about three minutes before the National Anthem.You just don't see that from the pros.Nice.

Jayson is not into the game today? LOLAnyways, JZ just saved himself from big trouble. Runners at the corner and one out, nice SO of Reynolds. Good job. let's get the bats going.

That K by Zim with one out and a man on third was a great example of Rizzo's philosophy.In the last two drafts he's put an emphasis on big guys who can bring it in the 90s.Guys like Strassy, Zimm, Cole and Meyer can turn up the gas to get themselves out of a jam.

This plate ump is crap ….why did this guy become the plate ump today ….his strike zone is tight with us and loose with Baltimore…Angelos pay him off or threaten his family with a law suit ???

Can someone please describe Markakis' single? Was it Espy's range, fault or Nick's dribbler to 2B? How was that a hit?Thanks.

I'm sick to death of listening to the AngelO's announcing crew."It's good to see Matusz doing so well."Not to me, pal.

- Mark Zuckerman - Jun 18, 2011 at 6:39 PM
FS: It was a slow roller up the middle. Espinosa had to slide to get to it, well behind second base. And he still almost got the throw there in time. Absolutely a legit base hit.

HRod in? I can understand bringing in K pitcher, but this guy could make it worse by walking a batter.

I think it is safe to say that most of NI followers are at the game.Three more outs and I can relax.
- What's up doc? - Jun 18, 2011 at 7:49 PM
Is anyone covering what's happening with Zimmerman's arm? He's bounced a couple throws to first this week, lobbed a few, and just pulled Morse off the bag in the 9th. He looks bad. Fielding and hitting are spot on, but something is wrong with the throws. Is he fully recovered?

- Nats Outsider - Jun 18, 2011 at 7:56 PM
Hey guys, I just realized that the Nats won this game by only 2 runs. Yesterday, it was 4 runs. The day before it was 10 runs. Obviously, the team is heading downhill. Must be time to charge up the fire-Riggleman guys.
- Doc - Jun 18, 2011 at 8:02 PM
IMO as good as Ramos is/will be, Pudge adds a little more behind the plate in handling pitchers. It's good to see him in there.
- FS - Jun 18, 2011 at 8:03 PM
Really? Some fans thought the game was at 7? LOLAnyways, not the most convincing win, especially when JZ was on the mound, but a win nonetheless. Good to know that we have ran up the streak to 8. Let us sweep them tomorrow. Go Gorzo and Go Nats.
- dj in Fl. - Jun 18, 2011 at 8:04 PM
Do not worry FS and Drew8Insiders are never late to a party.Sometimes it requires a bit more effort to pull out a win, so no time to type.Is it time for our next game yet?
- FS - Jun 18, 2011 at 8:05 PM
Nats Outsider, we won before that 10 run win, by a margin of 2. Does that mean we are due for another 10 run win tomorrow since we won by 2 today?
- Nats Outsider - Jun 18, 2011 at 8:10 PM
FS, I like the way you think. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, the Nats have now won another series. Does anyone have the stats handy about how many series they've won and lost so far this year?
- Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Me - Jun 18, 2011 at 8:19 PM

I was a little concerned about wearing the red jerseys and luckily no problema.Loved how the O's again tried to run on the Nats catchers!Jordan Z. didn't have his A+ game but got a Win and a Quality start and drove his ERA down to 3.08. With 2 more wins like this, he solidly puts his name in there for the All Star game.HenRod with a stressful but best outing of the season in Clippard's role and then Zim and Morse with the big bats!!!!Total Beast Mode!!!!!!!!

Eight in a row!!! Can they make it NINE?Its a faint hope but t'would be nice if Espinosa could be given the starting nod at shortstop in Riggleman's lineup. But I guess its probably going to be Cora.

Must be time to charge up the fire-Riggleman guys.The fact that Riggleman has stuck with the Sabermetric lineup and not screwed around with it too much shows that he might be flexible enough. He still has his thing about Ankiel and playing that guy is a way to squelch the offense. And in fact initially, they weren't scoring a lot of runs but players in this lineup are slotted to have the greatest impact. And so they were able to succeed and win games.

Anon 4:49, why would you want to move Espi to SS tomorrow when he has played second base all season long? Cora is a good substitute at that position coming off the bench, plays solid defense and has contributed several times with his bat this season.BTW, anyone hear Bowden on one of the MLB radio shows yesterday discussing the Nats? If I remember correctly he was saying that it was inevitable that Rendon would be at second base next season and Espi moved to SS. Bowden also said if he was in charge he would have already moved Danny to SS and sent Desmond to Syracuse to learn how to play CF. Keep up that radio gig Jimbo!

Glad to see we won; for some reason, I had had a bad feeling about the game. Had to miss watching because of my daughter's track meet (what can I say, it's 'Track Town USA'?) — in the rain (it's Oregon). Rather than go directly to the scores, I opted to come here and read through Mark's updates. They gave a nice feel to the progression of the game, which added to the pleasure of seeing the final results. The read through the comments — ditto. Go Nats!
- Grandstander - Jun 18, 2011 at 9:46 PM
Lots of "new fans" at the ballpark. Been asked a lot about where certain things are, where the best food is, when to get autographs, etc. So, hey, what do you know? You win some games, more people come to the park. Someone alert the Lerners that winning makes them more money! (I kid, kinda). Ryan Zimmerman hasn't been the hottest hitter since coming back, batting .250 including today's 2 for 4 performance, but he's been effective. It seems like every time he gets a hit, it sparks the offense. He's got 4 runs to show for his 7 times on base. Nice.Also, what was the deal with the umpire today? I'll admit I don't have the best view depth-wise but some of those "balls" from Zimmerman looked like they were right down the middle. Me and another behind me kept throwing up our hands in disbelief at what he was calling.I showed up early today to try out Shake Shack, since I'm too selfish and pompous to take off early from work. Meh. Pretty underwhelming considering the hype. The meat was very greasy but decent. But the cheese on it was disgusting. The sauce was pretty good though, as was the bun and the lettuce and tomato tasted very fresh. It's like a pitcher with great peripherals who just can't get it done. It's the Matt Garza of burgers. I'll continue to buy a burger from Five Guys and bring it in when I'm really in the mood for that sort of thing.

Carpenter said at the beginning of the show (before they locked him in the closet) that it was a rookie ump whom he'd not seen before.

The red hat will remain for yet another game! This was my 2nd game in 3 days and I was worried about jinxing them but after Danny's walk-off on Thursday I actually felt pretty good about #8. Was very impressed with HRod and if he keeps that up how tough will we be with Burnett, Coffey, HRod, Clippard and Storen?? Storen was throwing 95/96 after pitching 5 of the last 6 but HRod hit 101 and then came back with an 83mph slider (or something, how would I know) and that seems almost unfair. I look at Baltimore's bullpen and their numbers and then I look at ours and its night and day. We really just might keep this up, not winning 8 in a row, but with good pitching, fielding (and man do our catchers look great as well) and timely hitting we have a shot at absolutely being the best team in this young franchises brief history.Go Nats

Moved to Lynchburg last year and haven't been able to make it up to Nationals Park since. How is the neighborhood development coming along? I'm guessing the recent economic doldrums haven't helped. But it sure would be nice to see some more eating options nearby (e.g. Ledo Pizza).A nice win today. If the Nats somehow finish over .500 this year (suddenly not so wild a dream), perhaps Comcast in Lynchburg will finally add MASN to its lineup (which is why I've had DirectTV since I moved here).
- Grandstander - Jun 18, 2011 at 10:24 PM
The development around Nats Park is booming! The amount of restaurants/bars on Half Street doubled this season because The Bullpen, the lone bar on the strip, added another bar closer to the metro which I think is the same thing but with a different beer selection?Your eating options are basically restricted to the hot dogs carts that roam out there before the game. I pack lunch/dinner most days I go.Some other thoughts. HRod has been looking better and better. Couple of 101MPH heaters in the dirt, but combined with that slider, he's just nasty. If he can learn to hit his spots, he'll be absolutely filthy. Probably unhittable. The entire back of the bullpen has really been stepping it up. If you look at the guys not named Clippard and Storen, this is the line they've posted on this win streak:10 IP, 0 ER, 5 H, 4BB, 7KThat's not bad considered our only reliable guys to date aren't included in that.

Grandstander… re your comment on Shake Shack: Last night line was way too long so I got a taco combo for $10.25 at the new Taqueria next door. Would have preferred Taco Bell at a third the price but better quality.
- SonnyG10 - Jun 18, 2011 at 11:18 PM
Rats! I forgot today's game was at 1 and I missed it. I'll be watching the replay at 8 though. It will be fun knowing we're going to win.
- Nats Outsider - Jun 18, 2011 at 11:25 PM
@VP81955–I work two blocks from Nationals Stadium, and I have to agree that the eating options are very limited in the immediate area. However, if you go up to 8th Street, up from the main entrance to the Navy Yard, there are tons of restaurants and bars, with all kinds of food: burgers/pub food, Mexican, Indian, you name it. There are little shuttle carts — they are too small to call taxis — that will take you there for "free." (A tip is expected.)But there are only a handful of places within walking distance. On a nice night, the Dugout Bar at the Marriott on NJ Ave is decent.
- sjm308 - Jun 19, 2011 at 1:28 AM
I like Justin's Cafe which is about a block from the stadium in the bottom of Velocity (high end condo's). Nice draft beer selection of quality high end craft brews and decent sandwiches and soups. They also have Pizza and other stuff but I have stuck with the sandwiches and beer. Its not large but I have always found a seat. Also agree that if you don't mind the walk 8th street is outstanding – Matchbox, Cava, Teds Bulletin, a Belgian place etc etc. There are options if you know where to go. Also Bullfeathers and the Mexican Place right next to it are a little closer.

My favorite part of the broadcast was the forced agreement between the Nats and Orioles broadcasters. It was like they were broadcasting a meaningless student-faculty game at an anonymous junior high in Ohio.The Nats and O's broadcasters had a virtual competition to explain why the Nats have stolen Weiters BLIND the last two days. They agreed: It wasn't Weiter's fault, it was the PITCHERS. And the O's and Nats broadcasters, all obedient MASN employees, COMPETED to top each other in declaring how this was NOT Weiter's fault. But it WAS Weiter's fault. The Nationals stole him BLIND. We must stop these idiotic joint broadcasts. They represent the Angelos mafioso clique against city-based broadcasts.
- Grandstander - Jun 19, 2011 at 5:01 AM
I was at the games and thought it was the pitchers' fault. Matusz was especially not interested in checking the runner and had an awful move. I'm surprised we didn't get more. I haven't listened to one of those O's/MASN broadcasts but I will say that Wieters wasn't to blame, he did what he could.I agree about the joint broadcasts though. They were just awful when I watched for a game at Camden. I know it's a cost-saving measure, but FFS I don't want to have to listen to how amazing the O's are for 9 innings. What's the timetable on this MASN deal? When can we get our own station?

Phoronix: Marek Makes MSAA R300 Performance Optimizations
Recently there was finally MSAA support added to the R300 Gallium3D driver. While multi-sample anti-aliasing finally made it to this open-source GPU driver that supports the old ATI R300 through R500 GPUs, benchmarks I did last week showed the R300 MSAA performance was a mess. Fortunately, Marek Olák has made some significant performance optimizations to the R300g MSAA support...
Oh cool. Hope this means you'll like the attention enough to keep up the amazing work. You've been doing amazing work. I'm no guru, but I looked at the code and it's pretty nice. It's very readable even though it's quite a bit beyond me.
And you've got good right to do so.
Even though I never use antialiasing (actually, since I like pixels and since it always made things look unsharp and blurred so I thought I needed some glasses) I really appreciate this work. Especially that there is care also for elderly chips.
Thanks Marek, you're the best. Keep up the good work
Show this man some love, he deserves it.

RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner
It all began when a Doctor wanted to give his wife a very special gift. RevitaLash was developed by Michael Brinkenhoff, M.D. as a special gift for his wife, Gayle, while she was recovering from metastatic breast cancer treatments. Gayle's once-beautiful eyelashes had become dull, brittle and lifeless. Dr. Brinkenhoff believed that he could find a way to give Gayle's eyelashes the look of renewed health, strength and beauty. Thus, an entirely new and unique cosmetic product was born; and a gift created originally for just one special lady has become a product available to men and women everywhere who want to have attractive, beautiful-looking eyelashes.
With the success of the eyelash conditioner came a demand for more products. RevitaLash has developed a top quality mascara to enhance healthy lashes and RevitaLash Hair, a product that fortifies and strengthens the hair to make it look fuller and healthier.
RevitaLash is owned by Athena Cosmetics, Inc, a company that strives towards offering safe and effective products that provide a real value to the customer. The values that go into making high quality products can be seen in the day to day business affairs of Athena Cosmetics. The company believes in giving back to the community and dedicates itself to philanthropic activities to combat breast cancer.

Finally we are starting to see real Linux on mobile devices, and not some crappy Android.
The good that comes out from this is not necessarily the Ubuntu, but the fact that if Ubuntu is runnable it makes pretty much any Linux runnable.
IMO the next mobile revolution WILL be real Linux. Jolla mobile has a Qt based phone coming out this year. Built by the same people who built the Nokia N9. I cannot wait

'Roasting' biomass to energy: an alternative process emerges in Northeast Ohio
Blog Entry:
June 14, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: BILL HAGSTRAND
William E. Hagstrand serves as a senior consultant for NorTech.
Our region has staked out a formidable presence in the growing waste and biomass to energy industry. We have companies that turn organic residuals into electricity and compressed natural gas and others that produce crude oil from end-of-life plastics and rubber waste. Now, an alternative process is emerging in Northeast Ohio that produces high-grade, solid bio-fuels. It's called torrefaction.
The term is derived from the French word torrefecation, which means "for roasting." The process involves the thermochemical decomposition of organic material under low-oxygen conditions at temperatures ranging from 200 to 320 degrees centigrade. In combination with a densification process, this leads to a dry product (low moisture content), such as a pelletized material, with high energy density.
The torrefied pellets can be used as low-emission replacements for coal, as a construction material and as a component in plastics compounding. The improved grind-ability of the pellets leads to efficient co-firing in coal-fired power stations or entrained-flow gasification for the production of chemical and transportation fuels. Its hydrophobic properties help to repel water, making bulk storage in open air feasible.
A yield of similar product properties can be achieved from a wide variety of raw biomass feedstocks, such as wood plants, perennial grasses or cereals/grains. In our region,
Giant Miscanthus
, a sterile, hybrid, warm-season perennial grass, is grown for the torrefaction process.
The emergence of torrefaction in our region has been prompted by a couple of initiatives. Biomass Fuel Company, based in Chagrin Falls, is developing plans to build a miscanthus processing and torrefaction facility in Grand River, Ohio. The company has identified strategic partners with the capacity to satisfy their feedstock requirements and, according to owner Tom Nelson, initiated research projects at Case Western Reserve University to develop products and patents in the solid fuel applications of torrefied miscanthus. The hope is to have some market-ready application in 2013.
"I believe the business model we are creating in Northeastern Ohio will be held up as a paradigm of vertical integration, where the greater part of the supply chain is held under common management," Nelson says. "This will create a better opportunity for investment and success through reduced uncertainty, and will position the company advantageously against competition going forward."
Another project currently underway is the USDA's Farm Service Agency's (FSA)
Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP)
. This energy crop production initiative focuses on Giant Miscanthus and is underway in all or parts of Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake and Trumbull counties. It is estimated 1,200 jobs will be created throughout the life of the project.
Aloterra Energy LLC
, a Texas company with its Midwest headquarters in Ashtabula, is working with the FSA initiative to provide Ohio farms with technical assistance in planting and purchasing the new crop for future use in energy production-- possibly as a feedstock for Midwest renewable fuel initiatives.
In fiscal year 2011, approximately 122 contracts were signed to fund 5,344 acres for planting of Giant Miscanthus in the Ohio counties and western Pennsylvania. The goal is to farm 50,000 acres of Giant Miscanthus by 2014.
BCAP reimburses farmers for up to 75 percent of planting costs and provides an annual rent payment for five years. When the crops are mature, farms will be eligible to receive two years of matching payments, up to $45 per ton beyond the selling price.
While torrefaction is still in its infancy in Northeast Ohio, the region is already home to three major players in the waste and biomass to energy world that use two different processes:
Vadxx Energy
RES Polyflow
utilize a process called thermal depolymerization, which incorporates pressure and heat to reduce complex materials, such as waste plastics and polymers, into a light crude oil or other early-stage petroleum derivatives.
quasar energy group
meanwhile uses an anaerobic digestion process to convert organic material to biogas (methane) as well as solids that can be used as a fertilizer or soil amendment. The biogas can be used as vehicle fuel or in a combustion turbine to generate electricity.
We have written more extensively about these processes in previous Crain's blogs:
• "
One man's trash is another man's synthetic crude oil
• "
Don't underestimate waste and biomass to energy solutions
The efforts of Vadxx, RES Polyflow and quasar have put Northeast Ohio on the map as a progressive region in the development of energy from waste and biomass. Torrefaction is another viable process for creating an alternative energy source in Northeast Ohio. Benefits to the region include creation of sustainable rural jobs and reimbursement to farms over several years. The torrefaction process, along with other waste and biomass to energy processes, is an efficient method that aids in cutting our dependence on foreign oil while using both our natural and waste resources.

Newsworthy? Probably Not.
Anyway, I can already tell I will definitely be the slapstick, goof-off, neurotic, writes about boogers and pubes, possibly alcoholic element of the friendship. She will be the lawyer for the homeless, well-traveled, lived in like eleven countries, glamorous, smoking part of the relationship. I have our roles all mapped out! Now the trick will be not scaring her off with my spastic buffoonery. Which will mean suppressing 90 percent of my personality, but isn't that what friendship is really all about?
Then on Friday I'm meeting MORE new friends at a drinking binge I mean writer's conference near Chicago, including blogging dynamo Steph and her pal Trish, who looks so cute in that picture that I want to adopt her. I tell you, I am smashing through my comfort zone left and right! Sure, it would be easy to continue molding that ass-shaped impression I've developed on the couch while scarfing Cheetos and watching a Golden Girls marathon of episodes I've already seen twelve times each … but that's no way to live! Okay, maybe on rainy Saturdays, hungover Sundays, and after the loss of a loved one, but certainly not during the last weekend in April!
I'll post some updates on Sunday night about how the whole venturing-beyond-my-comfort-zone thing goes. In the meantime, please enjoy this photo of Daisy. Who is so territorial about urinating on other animal droppings during our walks that today she actually urinated on a splotch of bird poop in the middle of the sidewalk.

LOL your dog is NOT only cute but has a sense of humor and she's jealous. I like that.
I have a hard time making friends with people because I too have anxiety. I mean all that selling of ones self, all the whoring and lying it's so hard. I hope she turns out to be a great girl and be gentle with her. Take it slow...
Oh but you know we love you. I mean technically you have like a bazillion blog friends.You're not kidding - making new friends as an adult is sooo not easy. I am "that" friend, too - the spastic one who's rather inclined to make fart noises with my mouth and break out into a funny dance just because I feel like it while the other girls are fabulous and mature and make me feel like I should be hanging out with 13 yr olds instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on the making new friends bit. It's a tricky thing. I think I purposely act extra wacky when I meet new people in order to A) scare off the ones who would irritate me later. B) Attract the other wackos out there in order to make my life more colorful. So, I'm for not squashing your 90% kooky/fun side.
Have fun!I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow to meet up with some blog friends. I'm sure we will do nothing but party, I mean discuss writing.
I didn't know about the conference near Chicago or I met have went there instead. I'm originally from the area and could have seen some old friends and got to meet two of my favorite bloggers, you and Tish. Maybe next time.Why is it like that? The personality suppression, the playing hard-to-get, the uncanny resemblance to dating (as Sugarmama said) - making friends should not be this hard.
I've been feeling homesick lately. Just ignore me. Or make a fart noise so that I laugh a little bit.
Or make your word verification include the letters "perv". Hee hee hee!!!You bet it's hard to meet people after college. But try...having an only child "He'll be weird if he doesn't have a brother or sister",
"throwing away" a master's degree to be home full-time "You're too smart to not be working" and homeschooling your kidlet "So, you're pretty religious, huh?". Ain't no amount of "surpressing" that's going to cover up my level of wackiness. :-)
Have a great time at your fundraiser and in Chicago.LOL! Well, I was already feeling an almost eerie affinty with you when i read this
"Which will mean suppressing 90 percent of my personality, but isn't that what friendship is really all about?"
But the fact the I just wrote about Cheetos before reading this entry absolutely seals it for me.
You'll be swell. Your new friends don't know how lucky they are to have met you.I thought Minnie was the ONLY female dog in the universe who enjoyed piddling on other dogs' excrement. Minnie is actually a "leg lifter" which (according to the vet(s) and trainer(s)) is fairly unusual. Now I know that she has another weird little female friend (Daisy - not you) somewhere in this big, lonely world. That's a lot of grass for just one gal to pee on all by herself. Glad to know Minnie has some help!
ReplyDeleteYes, the friends-after-college thing is a big challenge. It's the closest thing to dating again once you've got marriage out of the way. I don't dress up and put on makeup for my dates with my hubby, but for girlfriends? You betcha.
Daisy's cute. I love that she pees on bird droppings -- LOL!Oh, wow. You wrote this Wednesday and I just now saw it. Things have been that crazy. So I'll have to wish you a great weekend in the past tense. According to Stephanie it was wonderful. And I know what you mean about finding friends after college. It's tough. Especially, it seems, in a small town. And for an introvert.
ReplyDeleteJozet said: "You'll be swell. Your new friends don't know how lucky they are to have met you."
I AM SOOOO LUCKY TO HAVE JESS AS A NEW FRIEND IN MY LIFE! She is the AWESOMEST! And yes, we all talked about pubes and bikini waxes, and lots of discussion on pooping and farting. Jess is the coolest, and soon I will be blogging about the whole event AND posting photos of our awesome weekend! Even though she had to leave early to go home to make some love or poop or something!
Love ya Jess!!!!!!!!! Oh, and you left your vibrator at the hotel but they're sending it to you....

Another extension for X.org has just landed: GLX_ARB_replaceX11_with_wayland
Phoronix: Last Minute GLX Extensions For X.Org Server 1.13
While the GLX_ARB_create_context and GLX_ARB_create_context_profile extensions were already pulled into the GLX code for X.Org Server 1.13, with the merge window being extended to allow the landing of Airlie's RandR 1.5 work, a few more GLX extensions have now landed too...
Another extension for X.org has just landed: GLX_ARB_replaceX11_with_wayland
OpenGL support still sucks.
Tbe best platform for open source graphics is Windows!
Windows support the latest OpenGL 4 graphics!
Linux still sucks for open source OpenGL graphics API.
Stop fucking with the ABI at the last minute!
(NB: Fucking with the ABI earlier in the cycle is OK.)
I think it is a good thing these extensions are added sooner than later.
Being able to set up a context is one of the first and a very important part in a program that uses OpenGL.
Even if it means X.Org server gets released a bit later. It's better to have these last minute glx extensions.
It's very important to have context creation as early as possible in place.
A good job done!
Looking at the extensions.
Noticed a problem, the GLX_EXT_create_context_es2_profile needs to allow for version and not just es2.
Because they things need to be changed every time a new version comes out.
(Considering OpenGL ES 3 will come out this summer, I'd say it's best if this is done good from the start.)
Please add a way to specify a version and rename the extension to GLX_EXT_create_context_es_profile.

i'm bongi7 and nice to meet you guys
Hi all, noob,
I'm currently trying to downgrade my PS3 after fitting an e3. (original FW 2.70)
The chip on the ps3 that the clip is attached to is samsung and so i have used the multi (samsung) update.bin for the flasher, the bin file has gone from the microsd so i'm guessing it's taken it, it simply came on an then all blue lights displayed. (switch 1 and 2 down the rest up)
I then left the microSD in and tried to back up with switch 3 up and rest down however on pressing start and after 10 secs or so the first blue light flashes and thats as far as i have managed to get.
Am i going wrong somewhere?

Did Oberlin College handle a racial incident properly?
Blog Entry:
March 05, 2013 1:04 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
When hate crimes happen on campus — as
they have
Oberlin College
, the goal should be to provide targeted students "all the support they need without empowering provocateurs," according to
this analysis
by TheAtlantic.com.
By that standard, though, Oberlin overreached when it canceled classes on Monday, writes Conor Friedersdorf, a staff writer at the website who has covered such incidents both as a college journalist and a professional newspaper reporter.
"Cancelling classes on Monday for a 'day of solidarity' seems mistaken to me," he writes. "Whether the perpetrator is a racist, or a cruel provocateur, or someone carrying out an ill-conceived hoax, this gives them what they sought: on a college campus, where everyone is gathered to advance their education, someone succeeded in disrupting the community's core function. Like an arsonist who lights a match and watches the show, they're likely enjoying the spectacle."
Ideally, he concludes, "Oberlin could show unmistakable support for its students — the ones who feel victimized and the ones who don't want to be made to feel like victims — and at the same time, signal to racist provocateurs that no, they cannot cause a spectacle. To signal that the perpetrator is marginal and weak — that he or she isn't worth it."
The libertarians at
magazine have a
similar take
— albeit one that's filled with contempt for the famously liberal school.
"Do they actually think whoever is responsible for the incidents cares at all about the college's solidarity? … Everybody knows that trolls feed off responses like this. Could they possibly have given this guy much more of an ego boost than to essentially wasting thousands of dollars in students' tuition (Oberlin's tuition for this academic year is $44,512) by cancelling classes?"
This and that
Needs a little seasoning:
Former Cleveland Mayor/Ohio Gov. George Voinovich has been out of the political game for a while, but he pops up in
Wall Street Journal
to provide some context for a story about prospective U.S. Sen. Cory Booker.
The Journal
notes that Mr. Booker, the high-profile mayor of Newark, N.J., is trying to pull off what few people have been able to do — ascend directly from City Hall to the U.S. Senate.
Since 1789, the paper notes, only 20 mayors have moved on to the Senate within a year of serving in their local capacity.
Mayor Booker is media savvy and, through his role as a surrogate for the Obama campaign, has greater recognition that the average major, the story notes. But the leap to the Senate still won't be easy.
Mr. Voinovich, who lost his first Senate bid in 1988 after serving as Cleveland's mayor, tells
The Journal
that a local candidate needs to have a statewide base and national profile to run for Senate.
"It's just a portion of the package," says Mr. Voinovich, who won the Senate seat in 1999 after serving as Ohio's governor. "After I had been governor for eight years, my package was a lot more complete."
Meeting of the minds:
Warren Buffett and CNBC's Jim Cramer
got together the other day
to talk about natural gas as a fuel for surface vehicles, and the discussion eventually got around to Garfield Heights-based
Chart Industries Inc.
Mr. Buffett talked about the subject in the context of railroads, since his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc., owns Burlington Northern, and Berkshire is starting to spend real money on natural gas fueled locomotives.
Mr. Cramer said that as natural gas takes off for surface vehicles, investors should pay attention to Chart, which makes equipment that is used to convert natural gas into liquefied natural gas. (It also sells the storage tanks needed to transport liquefied natural gas, and the engine tanks that hold LNG for heavy-duty trucks.)
Chart also stands to benefit from exposure to China, Mr. Cramer said.
"China is dramatically ratcheting up its use of natural gas, and they're even building out infrastructure to start replacing diesel with nat gas as a transportation fuel," he said.
Mr. Cramer added, "The company has a host of other non-natural gas related businesses as well. Chart uses its freezing expertise to deal with industrial gases, and they have a biomedical division where they make liquid oxygen therapy systems."
Wishful thinking:
Columbia Journalism Review
Advance Publications
, the company that publishes
The Plain Dealer
, has many virtues, one of which is offering a succinct explanation about why Advance will not be selling any of its papers anytime soon,
The story focuses primarily on the
New Orleans Times-Picayune
, a paper that already has made the move to three-days-a-week-in-print publication that many observers expect will happen at
The Plain Dealer
People who would like to preserve daily print publication of the Advance papers have pushed for the Newhouse family, which owns Advance, to consider selling them.
nips that idea in the bud.
"If they sold the (New Orleans) paper right now, the Newhouses probably would get less than $40 million for it, based on the earnings multiples of recent newspaper sales," according to the story. "By radically slashing costs, as they have done — perhaps by as much as $25 million — the company can earn that amount in a couple of years thanks to higher profit margins. Anything beyond that is gravy."
