AFAIK, the handles are heated. I guess there's some lower limit on the temperature it can handle (water hits handle, then the outside temp goes down to -40 so it can't be melted?). In that situation, hopefully on of the passenger door handles or the trunk can be opened.
[ Maybe this is the reason there's nothing on the floor between driver and passenger? :) ]
If you anticipate this happening (if you ever find out the lower temperature limit) you might want to put something over the handle to keep it dry?
@Unversell, you are not the first to raise this concern. You may want to read this thread:
I recall the mobile app they demo'd was able to single the car the car to warm up before you enter it... would that provide enough heat to keep the handles from sticking?
Even normal door locks freeze up and can't be opened.
Geesh, people freak out about the weirdest things.
I just don't understand the need for retractable door handles. The claim is made that this is done to smooth the car profile and reduce aerodynamic drag. Really? Have you noticed the scoop in the side panels, the wheel well openings, the grill?
If the Model S were an airplane flying at 250+ mph I could understand that (the door handles.) But at typical car speeds? How much energy is saved by retracting four small handles at the side? I would think that driving with one or two side windows open for a few miles or minutes would waste far more energy than the door handles during a years use of the car (I admit, I can't do this calculation nor know how.)
Then, of course, the electrical energy required to operate the handles and keep those circuits alive. Might not that exceed the drag energy wasted? And, of course, the cost and complexity of the (electrified) door handle design. Those handles are subjected to a lot of abuse and people unthinkingly just love to yank those things (why do some people slam cars doors when they can close them with a modest push?) I'd definitely hate to have to replace those handles both in time and cost.
Yes, flush handles make a difference. No, they don't have to be retractable; other cars have flush handles that aren't electric.
Elon thinks retractable handles are cool and he's in the driver's seat, (so to speak), so we get retractable handles.
You don't have to buy it.
"My v-v-voice is m-my pass-s-s-port, v-v-verify m-m-m-e. T-t-tesla heat handles p-p-please."
Tags ate the respond. Retrying...
"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
I live on sealevel 400 km south of Trondheim in Norway, in wintertime it is -20 degrees celsius. Normaly we use oil on the door handle, but on Model S it is impossible. What kind of a designer idiot has designed this car?
It is very nice, and I like the design. But it isnt functional!
I think Tesla should make an full electric rough SUV for people which live in a contry whith very bad roads and changing weather.
Zelaza It's obvious by your "contributions??" to these forums that you are a "Special Needs" individual. Your participation here is not going to help you in making a decision to get a vehicle (or "get a life" for that matter) that you so desperately need. Your confrontational, unreasonable and negative attitude does not belong in these forums...you need help, go find it in somewhere else.
@Universell: I live in Norway too, but I don't share your fear of frozen handles. What makes you so sure they won't work? Do you already have one? Do you have the construction & assembly drawings?
@Denis Vincent
I think Zelaza has very good technical skills, and see how things really works. He could do it very good as an engineer. But as an designer....
I often has a prblem with my normal door handle, and i think this type maybe can double this problem. I have never tested a door handle like this, so I dont know how it would do through the Norwegian winter ;)
But it isnt funny with a doorhandle full of silicon :)
Unversell, they've stated somewhere that the plan is for the handles to be pre-heated. So it's quite likely that "silicon" enhanced door handles will be superior to "normal" handles.
However, Tesla has never mentioned developing a "rough" SUV type vehicle. So you're going to have to look elsewhere for that. At least for the next 4+ years.
Great! Im going to buy one of those :D
A scatter-shot of responses:
- Heated handles
- Preheated cabins on command will clear ice from windows, so that the window can lower and allow the door to open (these are frameless windows, remember)
- Wide blue masking tape over the handles?
- Custom car cover, with a little flap where the charger plugs in. I really hope Tesla will offer this as an accessory (really!)
@brianman, nice combination of Sneakers and 2001. Great movies too.
As multiple people have mentioned those door handles will be heated. Probably better than ordinary handles then with frozen locks and stuff like that. Cool and functional.
For drag, electricity usage is tiny for popping them out. People don't seem to understand how huge amount of energy is required to move a car, if you change Cd even 0.004 with those door handles (there are four of those), it is worth it.
On the door handles freezing, this has happened for me only with rain/freezing rain/wet snow followed by a drop in temperature. The solution was to use a de-icer spray, or hair dryer, or wait until it either warms up enough and dries out enough to get the doors open. And in such cases, the handles aren't the only problem. The doors themselves can be frozen shut.
@David70: "The doors themselves can be frozen shut."
Yep, yep -- freezing rain, snow falling on warm cars that cool down, etc. There are a lot of situations where I find one side of my Audi completely frozen under and I crawl in the other side.
I've since bought a cover for my car, which is a huge help. Hopefully Tesla will have someone custom-make a cover for the Model S that allows recharging while covered (with appropriate ventilation).
I'm in California, no issues with the door handles what-so-ever here! :) I think they are super cool and wouldn't change a thing about them! Heck, I know people who payed extra to customize their cars like that!
Over night, most of us will be parking and charging our "S" in heated garages. No worries.
During the day it could be challenging.
I live in Los Angeles, not a snowflake in sight -ever.
When parked and the temp drops below freezing, the car automatically pushes out the handles.
Can we talk about something else please? ;)
But Discoducky, this IS the frozen handles thread.
But anyway, I'm going to be wintering in California, so hopefully won't have too many days with freezing rain while in Washington. OTOH, I hope to get a good car cover for the Model S for when I am still up here.
Even if you have a garage (heated or otherwise), does your ski resort? Your movie theater? Your office park? A cover will come in handy.
Your key fob should have a built-in laser to direct at the offending ice on handles and around the door frame.
Simple, people. Humans were never meant to be polar bears. Move somewhere with normal human temperatures, like here in Sydney Australia. A really horribly cold and miserable winters day - raining and the outside temp at 7 degrees Celsius!! Awful hey? Move over here!
I really like the tech on this car, handles included. Lets move on. One feature I consider essential but not mentioned anywhere is the provision of a foot support for the left foot. Most uncomfortable to drive without one, and so basic - not an electron in sight to offer this.
There's a left foot rest/brace in the beta, so it's quite likely to be there in the production car.
Anyone who engineers real products will readily concede that every machine has possible failure modes.
If you care about the quality of what you build, you think about these possibilities and provide some practical level of safety factor and recovery options.
By integrating heaters into the handles, it seems to me that Tesla engineers have been more conscientious than traditional car designers.
Getting enough liquid water on all the right spots for the 5 handles, followed by an abruptly freezing atmosphere ... this can certainly happen, but it is not routine.
If you are faced with these specific conditions often, you'd generally take steps to avoid trouble - like putting on a cover or activating the built-in heaters.
The beauty of Tesla's glass cockpit architecture is that those heaters can be activated by an upgradeable app on your smartphone. At every level, this outperforms traditional approaches to the problem of frozen door handles.
To focus on a rare circumstance and frontline it as a serious design deficiency seems to me to be a disingenuous attempt to discredit Tesla.
These obviously motivated and spirited Engineers instead deserve our encouragement.
Thank you, Mark K, you nailed it IMO.
A decade ago in Minnesota, we had a day with alternating cycles of rain and snow. My car ended up covered in a single sheet of ice shaped like a car.
We first used a hair dryer to melt lines around the edges of the doors, which we then cracked with a scraper, and then melted again. Repeated around the door handles. Repeated around the locks. Injected antifreeze into the locks. Unlocked and opened the car... and of course it wouldn't start.
Repeated the entire procedure with the hood. Opened that up and heated the block. Still wouldn't start.
Called the mechanic, who disconnected a number of hoses, injected antifreeze into them, and reconnected them. (It wasn't the fuel line, as that already had antifreeze in it, since it *was* a Minnesota winter.) *Finally* it started.
I daresay my Model S will be easier to deal with in those conditions than the gasoline car. Melt the doorhandles and door frames out, open the handles manually. There should be far fewer hoses full of liquid subject to freezing.
I do see one potential serious problem, though. If the car is left *not plugged in* under these conditions, *how do we get the charge port open*? Does it have a manual opening method, the way the door handles do? Because the car will likely have to be plugged in in order for the temperature management system to recover from the icy conditions...

Simi Valley church hosts Dickens festival
A 16-foot English stone gateway and tunnel debuted last weekend at the Dickens Christmas Festival, welcoming guests at Simi Covenant Church in Simi Valley into the Victorian era.
Mark Almlie, church senior pastor, said he hoped the fair Saturday and Sunday was a unique Christmas experience.
"A lot of people thought we were crazy at first," Almlie said. "They said, 'I never heard of a Dickens festival before.' But after they went to it, they said, 'Are we doing it again?' "
Teri Forlizzi, who helped organize the event, said organizers hoped to make the festival better than it was last year, its first. They doubled the number of vendors, added a 10-foot-tall Scotsman on stilts and expanded the re-enactments of "A Christmas Story."
"We also added a complete Victorian teahouse," Forlizzi said.
Lynn Hubbard, dressed as a Victorian gentleman in a vest, an ascot, an overcoat and a top hat, said he was part of the church construction team that began building the gateway about three months ago.
"My job today is to provide more ambience," Hubbard said. "This is my second year wearing this costume. I love wearing the ascot."
Jonny Papa is not a church member but came to act in the Victorian Nativity play. He goes to Rocky Peak Church.
"But it's good to get the message of the Gospel out. What can be better?" Papa said.
His 15-month-old son, Archer, was in his arms, exploring his costume.
"He thinks it's hilarious," Papa said. "He's never seen anything like it. He thinks I'm a walking couch."
Miriam Kozlovskis, of Port Hueneme, won best adult costume for a costume she said she bought online. But she made the bonnet by covering a straw hat in the same material, she said.
"My husband and I love everything Dickens," Kozlovskis said.
New this year was a larger children's area, the Oliver Twist Play Yard, that had a bounce house and a train.
Admission was $5 with a donation of an unwrapped toy to the Action Network Christmas Program. The money raised goes back into paying for the event, except for funds raised from the Great Expectations Eatery, the food court, which goes toward students' summer camp.
Forlizzi said next year the church may offer a two-day pass so families can attend both days.
Almlie said: "Everyone loves Christmas, everyone loves Dickens, and everyone loves festivals. Those are three wonderful things, and when you put them all together, you get magic."

November 04, 2003
Academics and legal practitioners reviewed the erosion of immigrant and refugee rights caused by various national security measures implemented (and planned) by the U.S. government in the period since the September 11 terrorist attacks, including Patriot Acts I and II, the selective detention of Arab immigrants, increased border enforcement, and a Supreme Court ruling against due process for immigrants. Efforts to defend immigrants against such measures, as well as the future status of immigrant and refugee rights in the continuing "war on terrorism," were discussed.

Frustrations aimed at the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) over their overnight enforcement policies came to a head during the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association (WRBA) meeting on May 16 at the Emanuel United Church of Christ.
The WRBA has repeatedly petitioned the DSNY to change its practice of issuing pricey overnight summonses to business owners along Jamaica Avenue for illegally dumped trash. In recent months, the WRBA has received numerous summonses over garbage found in front of the group's headquarters, located at 84-20 Jamaica Ave.
"They ticket overnight because that's when people bring their bags to the curb for pickup," explained Gregory Mitchell of City Councilman Eric Ulrich's office. "Unfortunately, there's an issue that if people dump garbage in front of somebody's business, the property owner can get a ticket themselves."
The WRBA held a recent closed-door meeting with board members, elected officials and DSNY supervisors. According to WRBA Communications Director Alex Blenkinsopp, the DSNY officials explained that if they wanted a change in policy, they would need to petition their local city council member to change the regulations.
"When we were told by our city agencies to go to our City Council member because they're not going to do anything about it, we realized this is a screwed up situation," he said. "What are we supposed to do?"
Ulrich was considering changes in legislation back in October 2014 in the form of an "LS request" to investigate the feasibility of the proposed policy change.
"There's really no way for us to legislate our way out of that problem," Mitchell said. "We can change the law, but that's not going to stop people from dumping garbage in the street."
Blenkinsopp voiced his frustration over the situation to Mitchell. "It sounds like it took an awfully long time to find out we wouldn't get any results from that process," he said.
Assemblyman Mike Miller also voiced his displeasure over the situation.
"They don't care," said Miller, who participated in the aforementioned closed-door meeting with DSNY officials. "When we challenged them, they said, 'That's the way it is. This is the process. This is how we do it.' It has to be changed."
Miller explained that he has introduced legislation calling for a Citizen Review Board to deal with and discuss incidents such as wrongly issued summonses.
Mitchell proposed a follow-up meeting between WRBA board members and DSNY officials. He also mentioned that he would try to bring a DSNY supervisor to the next public WRBA meeting to address these concerns. In addition, he advised WRBA members to keep reporting incidents of illegal dumping to 311.
However, according to WRBA President Martin Colberg, the group once reported an illegally dumped mattress in front of their office, only to be hit with a pricey summons while sitting inside. Colberg said that he was considering installing security cameras outside WRBA's Jamaica Avenue office to not only catch violators in the act, but to prove the group's innocence to DSNY.
When asked if they could take their fight beyond City Council, Blenkinsopp explained that they have yet to receive a reply from Mayor Bill de Blasio's office regarding the matter.
"Back when he was public advocate, Bill De Blasio wrote a letter supporting a change in this law, but now that he's mayor, he's no longer responding to our reminders," he said. "We can't get the mayor to respond to his own previous policy decisions and to be consistent in his stance on this."

Red Adair Biography
Red Adair was the most famous firefighter in the world, known for his expertise in putting out oil well fires and controlling well blowouts. After serving in a bomb disposal unit in World War II, Adair returned to Texas and started fighting oil well fires. In 1962 he gained international fame when he led a team that put out a fire in the Sahara that had been burning for six months. (The gas fire had been dubbed "The Devil's Cigarette Lighter.") Adair founded his own equipment and consultation business in 1972 and pioneered firefighting techniques and tools. After the Gulf War in 1991 he participated in controlling the oil well fires in Kuwait (set by Saddam Hussein's retreating army).
Extra credit:
John Wayne's character in the 1969 movie Hellfighters is based on Red, and Adair served as the film's technical advisor.

Description and Travel
"BEAUCHIEFF ABBEY, a village extra parochial, in the same hundred as Dronfield, is situate in a beautiful vale, about three miles and a half from that town. The abbey was founded between the years 1172 and 1176, for regular canons of the Premonstratensian order, by Robert Fitz-Ranulph, lord of Alfreton, in expiation for having conspired with the other knights who slew Thomas-a-Becket."
[Description from Pigot and Co's Commercial Directory for Derbyshire, 1835]
The parish borders on Yorkshire to the north and covers 745 acres. The city of Sheffield lies 4 miles to the north.
Chris MORGAN has a photograph of the Beuachief Golf Course on Geo-graph, taken in May, 2008. Obviously Chris thinks there's more to Beuachief than just Family History.

Barney Toddler Birthday Party

Barney Themed Birthday Party: Help With Costs
I am planning a Barney theme party for my daughter's 2nd birthday this summer. I am renting a Barney entertainer, but would love any suggestions on how to keep all the other expenses to a minimum (food, decorations, activities, goodie bags), while sticking to the theme as much as possible.
Barney Themed Birthday Party: Try A Do-It-Yourself Party
I had a Barney theme party for my son's one-year birthday last year. I went on the Internet to www.Barney.com. and downloaded all kinds of pictures to make a banner, stickers, invitations, and even coloring pages. I gave each child a brown paper bag to decorate with crayons and my home made Barney stickers. They also had Barney, Baby Bop and BJ pages to color.
The one thing I spent a little money on was a toddler friendly Barney pińata, in which each child held a string and everyone pulled at the same time. They filled their homemade bags with the candy and prizes. Dollar stores are also great for pińata fillers.
Good luck and have fun!
Barney Themed Birthday Party: Inexpensive Treats
One way to save on paper "Barney" products is maybe purchasing all purple items, plates, forks, napkins & goodie bags. You can save right there instead of it buying the Barney products. They have dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets you can get at a warehouse, i.e. Sam's, and then purchase French fries. What child doesn't love nuggets and fries?
For some games ideas, there's pin the tail on Barney. Trace a Barney figure on some construction paper and then color it and make a tail for each child. You can also get a Barney color book and maybe give one child a page and they have to color it blind folded and who ever does the best at staying in lines gets a prize.
Barney Themed Birthday Party: Make Your Own Cake
One thing I might suggest would be to make your own cake, cupcakes would work well here too, (I know, you've heard this a million times) but with some white icing mixed with red and blue food coloring you could create a great purple cake. You could also make the actual cake part green, or purple again, to further along the theme. It's been awhile since we had the Barney stage at my house but I remember all those songs he is so famous for. That would be great for the activities.
As for decorations, some purple and green streamers and balloons, all up high with toddlers around of course. You could very inexpensively print out some Barney theme coloring pages or blow up some on a copier to decorate and hang around. Look at some of the Barney items at the store and try to copy them.
Lastly, I've seen some inexpensive Barney coloring books at either Wal-Mart or Dollar General that would work well as a goodie with a couple crayons. One small suggestion, Barney is great on TV for kids, but in person he may be a little overwhelming for toddlers. So try to introduce him from far away at first and gradually bring him into the scene. We were just at an Easter egg hunt this weekend and there were more crying kids than laughing because of the "scary" Easter bunny: Have a great time--get lots of pictures!
Barney Themed Birthday Party: Check Out the Craft Section
Try using just purple and green balloons and writing Barney and the other characters names on them in magic marker. I would make cupcakes and frost them in the colors used for each of the characters. You can make you own frosting cheap and know that there are not a lot of preservatives that some kids are allergic to in your goodies. Not only do you not have to worry about kids handling spoons and forks, you have less cleanup when they toss the cupcake wrapper.
If you want, you can probably find some inexpensive cupcake wrappers in the Barney theme at a local party supply store. They might have small colored drink cups and trinket packs that are inexpensive as well. You can get clear and colored goody bags at a place like that too or sometimes at Wal-Mart in the craft section around the Wilton display. Look there while you're picking up some food coloring to make your icing with. I helped do Blues Clues this way for my Godson last October. It was a real hit and we only spent about $40 for 18 children and 22 adults. We bought the candy and toys for the bags at the Dollar Tree.
Barney Themed Birthday Party: Picture a Remembered Treat
I also had a "Barney" party for my son's second birthday. As a party favor, we had a Polaroid picture taken of each child with Barney and put this in their goody bag. It became a prized possession of most of the children attending. That was seven years ago and we still get comments about it.

I'm a recent switch from Windows to Linux; I'm on OpenSUSE 10.3 x64, and I'm using the GIMP that came with the installation.
I managed to download and install brushes just fine, but now I need a way to resize them. I did find the "resiZebrush".scm, I unzipped it, and installed it in my "/home/user/.gimp-2.2/scripts" folder.
I figured out how to get the "brushutil" to work once I opened a new file, but when I go to attempt to use the plugin, I get an error message that says:
Could not open 'usr/share//gimp2.0\brushes\#resized.gbr' for writing: Permission denied
ResiZebrush MESSAGE:

This is really irritating. Help?
Where is resiZebrush?

New Guy
- Studio: Siete Machos Films
- Release Date: Nov 10, 2004
Critic Reviews
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
An original and highly memorable comedy, and mention should be made of Ebiris work beyond filmmaking: he is also a film critic for New York Magazine, thus giving proof that those who review films for a living can also turn around and make a damn fine movie.
New Guy isn't the first movie to get laughs from the bloodless milieu of contemporary corporate life. But it may be the first to offer a frightening glimpse of the actual blood pulsing beneath.
Rises above its low-budget limitations by pandering to the most outrageously paranoid fantasies of unhappy office drones.
Does a lot with little, milking a single location and minimal dialogue for deadpan humor, tension, and macabre payoff.
This is Ebiri's first feature after directing four shorts. He shows talent, but shouldn't give up his day job just yet.

Tuesday, May 10, 2011
The pavement stretched out before me this morning, sun beating down, warm spring breeze in my face and through my flowing skirt, as I peddled my bike to work. I breathed in the smell of fresh cut grass and thought - this is the first scent of summer. And how beautiful it is!
I've been daydreaming all day about getting home tonight and sitting out in my yard with a magazine and an iced Berry LaCroix water, taking in the remains of one of the most beautiful days I have ever experienced.
It's making me emotional, these winds of change. Not just in the change of seasons, finally to something warm and sunny, but because I can see and feel and taste the change in me. The things that I have denied and shied away from for so many years. The thought that maybe, this year, I can begin to embrace all of those wonderful things that I have been loathe to experience because...I couldn't.
My dear Sparkfriend LOTUSFLOWER wrote the most beautiful blog today about everything she's looking forward to doing this summer.
It brought tears to my eyes knowing that someone else has felt the same things that I have - the gorgeous summer days spent on the couch avoiding shorts, and bathing suits, and activity.
I AM a creature of nature. I love sunshine and lake breezes and the feeling of my skin turning brown from spending time outside in the warmth. And for far too long I have ignored this part of myself. I have literally kept her sheltered inside a dark hole and have not let her breathe the air she so longs for. But not this summer! I haven't sat on my couch in over 3 weeks now. And I like it that way!
Despite the scale's need to disappoint for the past few weeks, today I broke out my first sundress of the season - an item I bought to celebrate my 100 pound weight loss in April. When I bought it, it was still a little tight, but today I put it on and it is loose, and flowy - it fits perfectly. It has confirmed that regardless of what the scale says or does not say, my body is still in this fight. I am enjoying my day of spaghetti straps and bare legs - sunglasses still firmly on my head in anticipation of my trip home.
Here's to the beginning of the season! One of bikes and barbeques, running and reading outside in the sun, pools and ponds, hikes and lighter hair. I embrace my love for the great outdoors. The smells and sounds of summer. A smile on my face the first time I heard the familiar bells of the ice cream truck on my street this week. Gulls circling a picnic lunch. The roar of engines of cars that are just as happy to be out from under the dustcover as I am to be freed from my plastic covered winter windows.
I am anticipating my most active summer yet. Already I have cancelled my bus pass in lieu of riding my bike to work as much as possible. With the extra money I save, I can hopefully buy myself something fun! There will be swimming and training for a 10K in August. And I am just so happy that I am ENJOYING being outside, opting to walk 4 miles home last week on a simply beautiful spring day. It's refreshing for the soul, taking a moment to smell the blossoms and feel the breeze. I feel awake and am excited for all of the new opportunities that the season has to offer.
Wishing you all the best summer yet! Look for me on the patio!

Congrats on how amazing you feel and getting to enjoy being that "outdoors" person that you deserve to be. I read your friend, Lotusflower's blog too....Hers was great also and I've now added her as a Spark friend as well. Thanks for sharing the link to her blog. I love the outdoors too but like you I sheltered myself from it a lot because of my weight. I have 143 lbs to lose and I hope by next summer that I will feel so confident as you do to want to do way more stuff outdoors! I can already tell a huge change in myself and that is with only doing this for 2 months so far and losing 17 lbs. I know you are a walk/runner of races and I'm getting ready to do my first 5K walk tomorrow.....so excited. Keep up your awesome-ness!!

Wow. What a beautiful blog. The first paragraph alone was just so vivid. I get it though - and I am sure many people do. The old life is really gone. Isn't it? Sometimes I wonder I think - I can't believe I did this or thought about myself "that" way - after all, it's not that long ago that we decided to change our lives.
I am so happy for you. I am so proud of you as I am sure you are too.
Adventures await, beautiful. And you deserve every single one of them. Go get 'em.

Me too! I feel as if this is just another opportunity for me to make up for every summer I spent hiding and cursing the heat instead of enjoying my life and the beautiful world around me! CANNOT WAIT! Not waiting actually. Every nice day we've had, I've been out in it doing SOMETHING - tennis, walking, running (only little bits...shhh ..don't tell the PT). On Monday I went to the sports store for a volleyball. My new goal in life? To have a car packed full of balls and equipment for every sport imaginable so we can all play together all dang summer! And muddy hiking boots (hence the immediate need for a plastic mat protector for the back of the car...one of the first accessories we bought! *lol*)!

The summer's here too, and it's wonderful. As soon as I am able (curreently post-op for abdo surgery) I will be out there on long walks, bronzing that skin to perfection, eliminating the pasty white for a while. On with the BBQs, long summery evenings... Come on SUN...don't let us down!!
Lovely blog - well done you!

YES for that sun dress and for the smell of grass and for opting to walk the 4 miles home, and for not taking the bus, but biking it, and for running a 10K this summer!!!!! I cannot WAIT for it, and I'm excited that we will be doing some of these things together -10K for sure and I'm gonig to try to get you out to Millennium Park one of the Saturdays this summer! Save me a seat on the porch and I'll bring a flower for your hair! It's been too long to ignore these parts of ourselves. Well, for me, discovering that outdoors "self", and for you rediscovering that woman within. I am SO darn proud of you for reaching 100 lbs. lost and give the scale the hand, that sun dress tells the story.
p.s. that picture of me with Marlo was from last summer, after my first 5k, can you believe it? I had already lost 40 lbs. too at that point. Thanks for noticing the difference, I feel like a different person too!
p.s.s. thanks for linking to my blog, you're the sweetest!

After overcoming an attempted sandbagging by members of the Republican leadership, at about nine o'clock Tuesday night, the House of Representatives of Rhode Island overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling for the repeal of the indefinite detention provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012.
The measure's primary sponsor was state Representative Dan Gordon, Jr. In an interview with The New American, Representative Gordon said that at the last minute as the vote on his anti-NDAA resolution was about to be taken, the House Minority Leader, Representative Brian Newberry, called for the measure to be "resubmitted," claiming that it was inappropriate for the Rhode Island House to be considering federal matters.
Gordon reports that the move was orchestrated by Newberry and three cohorts, a "cabal," as Gordon calls them, that has experience in this type of legislative legerdemain.
Newberry's call to resubmit the resolution was rejected and the House went on to pass Gordon's bill (H. 7916) by a vote of 52-15.
For his part, Representative Gordon is accustomed to battling even those in his own party. In May, Gordon left the Republican Party Caucus over what he describes as "shenanigans" among party leadership, as well as his refusal to go along with unconstitutional measures sponsored by caucus leaders.

Video: Dixie Carter Reveals Former "World Title Holder" Returning to Impact
Nov 6, 2013 - by Steve Gerweck
Pro Wrestling Since 1997
Nov 6, 2013 - by Steve Gerweck
Seriously, who cares? Pacman Jones. Who gives a crap. He couldn't do anything his first time around, and he's not gonna do anything this time. Bringing in Pacman Jones is not gonna raise the ratings, nor will he advance the company in any way because nobody gives a crap. Literally every big announcement they make is a disappointment, and it should be embarrassing for them to do the same thing over and over again. TNA really needs to be sold, and Dixie really needs to be removed, because she doesn't know how to make good deciscions for a wrestling company. At all. Period.
And yes, I spelled decisions wrong. Typo.
Pacman is returning? WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! And yet a chunk of the talent goes wayyyyy underpaid! You got rid of one drain on funds with Hogan, and now you're bringing in a new one? Maybe this is just a one shot deal for an appearance that Viacom is covering……..maybe Dixie isn't to blame and it's just her sheer stupidity listening to the wrong people…..again……
Saaa-wiiing and a miss

5.35: Why doesn't glob("*.*") get all the files?
Because even on non-Unix ports, Perl's glob function follows standard Unix globbing semantics. You'll need "glob("*")" to get all (non-hidden) files. This makes glob() portable even to legacy systems. Your port may include proprietary globbing functions as well. Check its documentation for details.
The perlfaq-workers, a group of volunteers, maintain the perlfaq. They are not necessarily experts in every domain where Perl might show up, so please include as much information as possible and relevant in any corrections. The perlfaq-workers also don't have access to every operating system or platform, so please include relevant details for corrections to examples that do not work on particular platforms. Working code is greatly appreciated.

The Gwinnett Daily Post and its sister papers from Southern Community Newspapers Inc. have launched new mobile websites to better serve readers using smartphones.With "Top Stories" and "Featured Stories" sections, the new mobile sites mirror the complete sites found online, but in a format more compatible for the reader on the go. Readers can also browse by category, search content and get local weather forecasts. These sites are not an "app," but will be automatically detected when readers browsing on smartphones arrive at the site. SCNI papers will also soon launch sites geared specifically toward readers using tablets like iPads. "In today's world, we need to make our news available to readers when and where they want it, and we really do strive to give our readers access to news in any format they want," said Robert Granfeldt, SCNI's vice president of digital media. Added Daily Post publisher J.K. Murphy: "This latest version of the Post is designed to be easily read on a smartphone, and it's a great supplement to our print and online editions."

Smarting from defeats to England and Ireland in their opening three matches, France put Italy to the sword with seven tries and an impressive kicking performance from young scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili.
Les Bleus' title defence has been undermined by poor goalkicking but Yachvili was virtually infallible, booting eight from nine for a personal haul of 18 points.
Much of the damage was done in the first half as France swept into a 31-3 lead after the first quarter before going into the break 41-10 ahead.
At that point Bernard Laporte's side looked well on course to eclipse their record win over Italy, a 60-13 triumph in Toulon in 1967.
That scenario became increasingly likely when Saracens back Thomas Castaignede broke through poor Italian defence to score France's sixth try moments after half-time.
But Italy battled back and finally emerged as an attacking force in the final stages, long after the game was beyond their reach.
Full-back Mirco Bergamasco went over for the Italians second try of the game before Aaron Persico touched down soon after to bring the Stadio Flaminio crowd to their feet.
France responded with another score of their own though, Aurelien Rougerie scoring his second of the match in the corner.
Unfortunately for Yachvili the angle and distance left him a little too much to do and his touchline-kick sailed just wide, his only miss of the match.
The final word went to the Italians, who battled back bravely from their first-half mauling.
Number eight Matthew Phillips sent the supporters home in better spirits with a try from the final attack of the match.

Dow AgroSciences, Oregon State University Enter into Research Agreement for Tree Research Using EXZACT™ Precision Technology
Project Aims to Accelerate Tree Biotechnology
Indianapolis - May 02, 2011
Dow AgroSciences LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE: DOW), and Oregon State University have entered into a research agreement to apply EXZACT™ Precision Technology in trees, with the goal of accelerating and enhancing research into tree improvement.
Dow AgroSciences' EXZACT™ Precision Technology provides a versatile and comprehensive toolkit for targeted genome modification.

This new research will apply EXZACT™ to cutting edge research into tree improvement, a critical area for the lumber industry.
As part of the agreement, researchers at Oregon State University will make modifications to essential genes for flowering and reproduction. Dow AgroSciences is providing its technology as well as access to intellectual property, validated, high-quality zinc-finger reagents, and scientific expertise.
"Tree biotechnology is an exciting new field for agriculture and represents an important opportunity for both traditional industries like lumber and paper, and newly emerging bioenergy companies," said Kay Kuenker, Vice President for New Business at Dow AgroSciences. "Dow AgroSciences is looking forward to working with the researchers at Oregon State University to create innovation in this new area by using the power of EXZACT™ Precision Technology."
"This agreement with Dow AgroSciences will spur new approaches and advances in tree biotechnology at Oregon State University. We are excited to work with Dow AgroSciences and share this exciting new technology," said Steven Strauss, Ph.D., University Distinguished Professor in Forest Biotechnology. Dr. Strauss is leading the research program along with several collaborators, including Dow AgroSciences' EXZACT™ Scientific Leader Vipula Shukla, Ph.D.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Many Americans long to see where their talents as inventors or craftsmen or cooks can take them.
But businesses often struggle in their early years, and this makes some lenders wary of financing enterprises that don't have an established track record.
After repeated rejections from potential funders, many entrepreneurs simply give up.
Organizations like Accion are one option for the aspiring entrepreneur who can't secure a loan through a more traditional financial institution, such as a bank or credit union.
But getting a loan requires some groundwork, no matter where she looks.
The Five Cs
Traditional lenders evaluate loan requests on the basis of the client's character, capital, collateral, capacity and conditions – the 5 C's of credit.
The lender measures character by observing the client's punctuality, organization and understanding of the size and purpose of the loan. They listen to what references say and what his credit history demonstrates about his commitment to pay off debts. They review the business plan to see how well it reflects the client's experience, strategy and commitment.
Existing capital is a plus for an aspiring entrepreneur and a way for the lender to assess the borrower's personal investment in the business.
