This is a picture of our house after the February 2006 Windstorm. We had 4 trees hit our house. Fortunately, because of the wind, we went to our neighbor's house one hour before the trees fell. The largest one hit my 5 year old daughter's room and crushed her dresser and her bed. Everyone was safe which is all that mattered!

Friday Quick Hits: Cissoko Arrested Last Month for Disorderly Conduct
- Boubacar Cissoko was arrested for misdemeanor disorderly conduct in June, according to Dave Birkett of AnnArbor.com. The arrest happened after the car he was riding in was pulled over on Belle Isle for speeding. The driver, for whatever reason, didn't pull over immediately, leading to him being put in handcuffs once the "pursuit" ended. Cissoko, at that time, yelled "Leave my boy the (expletive) alone," allegedly over and over. This led to him being arrested as well.
The charge itself isn't really all that serious, but it's probably not too wise to yell at a cop like that after the person you were riding in the car with decided not to pull over immediately. Either way, Cissoko was only charged with disorderly conduct, and according to Rich Rodriguez, he has already been disciplined.
- This year's Fan Day is going to be held on August 23 at the practice fields and the two indoor facilities.
- The new indoor facility, Al Glick Field House, is nearing completion. In fact, based on new pictures uploaded to Rich Rodriguez's Facebook page, it appears that the locker room is close to being finished and the FieldTurf installation is almost done as well.
- The Varsity Blue guys are closing up shop and moving to MGoBlog.

A New Language for Phone Networks
Page 2 of 2
Last year, a group of researchers built a different programming framework, known as Haggle, for pocket-switched networks. The Haggle library adds collections of code to support manipulating data on pocket-switched networks using a variety of platforms, including Windows and Windows Mobile, Mac OS X and iPhone, Google's Android, and Linux.
The difference between Haggle and D3N is whether the intelligence–the knowledge of how to interact with pocket-switched networks–is inherent to the language or in a separate code library. D3N builds knowledge about the way pocket-switched networks work into the programming language. This makes programming for pocket-switched networks simpler. Programs written in D3N can, for example, grab data from the network with a simple command. Developers working with Haggle can still grab that data, but the programming is more complicated.
D3N code can also be tested more easily, an important feature if service providers are to be convinced to allow the programs on their phones. "[Mobile providers] want to make sure that the software that gets put on their phones is very, very reliable," Crowcroft says.
"So you need some alternative" to ease the creation of applications for pocket-switched networks, says Intel's Fall. "We have done it with [the Haggle] programming interface. They have taken it further and have written a language for development."
The embryonic D3N language, and pocket-switched networks in general, still have unaddressed issues. For example, one ill-studied topic is security on pocket-switched networks. Passing data from phone to phone could ease the spread of malicious software. In addition, attackers could flood the network with digital pollution such as spam.
"Pollution in a peer-to-peer system is a really hard problem [to solve]," Crowcroft says. "I hope it is not a deal breaker."
Getting people to actually use pocket-switched networks could also be a problem, as both wireless connectivity and Bluetooth drain power. Passing along data for other users could dramatically shorten battery life. The research group is working on a hybrid communications model that uses low-power Bluetooth to search for interesting data among the network nodes and then uses the more power-intensive wireless networking system built into the phone to transfer the data.
"We don't care what type of radio forwards the data," Crowcroft says. "Battery life is going to be a far more important aspect of this."
If the problems are solved, and cell-phone makers convinced that such additional functionality is useful and secure, such networks could give users an alternative high-bandwidth way to communicate.

Plaintiffs have dropped a lawsuit challenging the city of Minneapolis' authority to buy nearly two blocks of downtown property near the planned new Vikings stadium for use as a public park -- part of the $400 million Downtown East development.
On Saturday, the suit's three plaintiffs -- former mayoral candidates Dan Cohen and Stephanie Woodruff and former city councilman Paul Ostrow -- said in a news release that they could not comply with a Hennepin County District judge's order that they post a $10 million bond to continue the suit.
They also urged the Minneapolis City Council to re-examine its plan to issue $57 million in municipal bonds to pay for the parkland.
"The public is entitled to have their elected representatives publicly discuss the wisdom of the public subsidies in this project in light of those developments," the plaintiffs said in the release. "It is not too late to do the right thing."
The suit, which was first filed in December, argued -- among other things -- that only the city's Park and Recreation Board has the legal authority to acquire parkland. The plaintiffs sought a restraining order against the city, to prevent the purchase from proceeding.
Although Hennepin County District Judge Mel Dickstein ultimately ruled in favor of the city, the plaintiffs later filed an amended complaint, this time asking for a declaratory judgment that only the park board could acquire the land and that the city had no authority to issue bonds to pay for it.
On Friday, Dickstein, noting that the suit was unlikely to succeed, ordered the plaintiffs to post a $10 million surety bond to cover damages the city would incur if the land sale was delayed.

George Perles
Mitch Lyons / Lansing State Journal
Two seats in Play
» Two seats on the MSU Board of Trustees are in play in the election.
» The Republican candidates are incumbent Melanie Foster and Farmington Hills real estate broker Jeff Sakwa.
» Incumbent Joel Ferguson and Dearborn financial adviser Brian Mosallam are running for the Democrats.
» Board members serve eight-year terms and are unpaid.
One of the possible outcomes of the November election is that meetings of the Michigan State University Board of Trustees will come to look more like miniature reunions of the universitys 1992 football team.
The coach of that years team, George Perles, was elected to the board as a Democrat in 2006. Mitch Lyons, a former All-American tight end who went on to play in the NFL, won a seat during the Republican landslide of 2010.
This year, the Democrats nominated Brian Mosallam, a former offensive lineman who was a freshman in 1992 but co-captain of the team four years later, to run for one of two open seats on the eight-member board.
I remember Coach Perles saying, when I played football, You will not realize how many doors Michigan State and Michigan State football will open up for you as you go on throughout your career, said Mosallam.
Its doubtful Perles was talking specifically about elected office, but that doesnt change the fact that the states political parties have run several former athletes for the MSU board in recent years Trustee Brian Breslin, elected with Lyons in 2010, was a Spartan basketball player and that the states voters have supported them.
That is not the case with the states other two elected university boards. No members of the University of Michigan Board of Regents and the Wayne State Board of Governors ever played sports for the schools they now govern.
Its something Kirstin Alvanitakis, communications director for the state Democratic Party, called pure coincidence. Ron Weiser, chair of the state Republican Party when Lyons and Breslin were elected, didnt respond to requests for comment.
It might be a case of chance. University boards are elected statewide and below the radar of many voters. Candidates clearest paths to victory involves being pulled along on the coattails of those higher up on the ticket.
Both parties know that the best thing either one has going for it is what happens at the top of the ticket with these education board races, said Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics.
Four years ago, when (President Barack) Obama was killing John McCain by 17 points, the Democrats swept all eight of these education posts, he said, including open seats on the State Board of Education. Two years ago, when (Gov. Rick) Snyder creamed Virgil Bernero, the Republicans swept all eight.
But its possible that athletics opens doors earlier along in the process.
Breslin, of course, had the advantage of a family legacy in MSU sports. His fathers name graces the Jack Breslin Student Events Center.
Not many people knew that Id played basketball, to be honest, he said.
But in process of getting the nomination, the name recognition probably helped, he said. It showed an affiliation with the university that was deep.
Even if Mosallam wasnt the sort of star player fans would necessarily remember 16 years after his last season on the field, he said being a player helped him win the nomination.
It helped me build coalitions within the party through former Spartans, Mosallam said.
Perles had name recognition even if his time at MSU was marred by NCAA violations that ended his dozen years as head coach. He believes his reputation helped in the general election, at least with the Spartan faithful.
As Lyons put it, somewhat less generously: If they wanted a draw play on third and 23, then they probably voted for him.
But even Perles won in a year when Democrats swept the university board elections, buoyed by Jennifer Granholms successful bid for a second term as governor.
Even if Mosallam were to win, bringing the tally of former athletes on the board to four, theres no evidence that the group would be any sort of political faction in the making.
I certainly respect George for the impact he had on my life, Lyons said, but, as far as working on the board together, thats something independent of what our relationship was 20 years ago.
When it comes to politics, the members of what might have been the Jock Bloc are playing for different teams.

Jean Basingers question was as simple as it was provocative: Why is the state of Iowa hiding the locations of prisoners?
The Des Moines womans concern arose after she and others began a search for the whereabouts of 38 juveniles serving life sentences so they could write them letters.
But the issue took on new urgency when she realized that secrecy surrounding one prisoners whereabouts could affect his safety, even his life.
We can find out where Ted Kaczynski is, Basinger points out, referring to the man once known as the Unabomber. Why is it a secret where these prisoners are?
Debates over the government moving detainees in secret have bubbled up after federal immigration raids and arrests of terror suspects abroad. But they also are a perennial issue for inmates, their families and their attorneys. Inmates transferred to other states are typically whisked away without prior notice, making them difficult to locate afterward.
Basinger, the president of Iowa CURE, a justice reform group, suspected state officials would cite safety concerns when she asked me to find out why Iowas Department of Corrections does not disclose the whereabouts of inmates transferred out of state.
They did and Iowas corrections officials are hardly the only ones to do so.
Minnesotas Department of Corrections also does not disclose inmate locations, according to spokeswoman Sarah Berg.
We dont release where they are transferred because there may have been a threat, or there may be a situation where theres an informant working with law enforcement who may be at risk, she said.
The difference between Iowa and Minnesota, however, is that a Minnesota statute addresses specifically when prisoner information can be kept secret. That is, when its release would: endanger an individuals life; endanger the effectiveness of an investigation identify a confidential informant, or clearly endanger the security of any institution or its population.
Iowas statute says expressly that the location of prisoners is public information and may be given to anyone.
Yet, Lettie Prell, a spokesperson for the state corrections department, cited two statutes that she argues give the department leeway.
One provides for confidentiality of regulations, procedures and policies ... which if released may jeopardize the secure operation of a correctional institution. It includes information on inmate movement and control.
The other falls under Iowas open records law and provides for confidentiality when release would clearly not be in the public interest or irreparably injure another person. What Prell did not say about that statute, however, is that it mandates that a judge, not the corrections department, make that decision.
Basinger, who has been corresponding with prisoners for years, worries unwarranted secrecy can also cover up less scrupulous reasons for transferring inmates or cover up decisions that have put inmates at risk.
During a national week of faith, healing and advocacy, Basinger and others in an adult Sunday school class at Trinity United Methodist in Des Moines decided to write letters to 38 Iowa juvenile offenders serving life sentences.
The juveniles had been in the news because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that stated mandatory life without parole sentences for juveniles violated the Eighth Amendments prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
In response to the high courts decision, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad granted clemency to the 38 but only after they served a minimum of 60 years in prison.
Since then, several lawyers have mounted legal challenges so their clients might one day have a shot at parole.
Basinger said she and others simply wanted the juveniles serving life sentences to know they had not been forgotten, despite their past crimes.
When we started getting responses to our letters, some of them said, I havent heard from anybody for years, she said.
Most of the federal inmates were easy to locate on the Bureau of Prisons website, but two who had transferred out of Iowa were difficult to find.
Basinger sent an email to the Iowa Department of Corrections, asking for the inmate locations.
In early April, the departments former communications chief, Fred Scaletta, wrote back, saying the whereabouts were confidential under the interstate compact contracts.
But Basinger checked, and that wasnt the case.
Scaletta later sent a mea-culpa email in response: I have discovered that although it has always been states practice to not publicly disclose the location of prisoners housed in other states or jurisdictions, there are no written regulations. ... Therefore I will provide you the location of your two requests, however I will ask you to not publicly disclose this information.
Scaletta wrote that one of the inmates was located in Missouri, the other in Arizona. But he did not tell her which facilities.
Thats when Marty Ryan, a lobbyist for the Justice Reform Consortium, jumped in.
Ryan made an open records request to Iowa prisons chief John Baldwin, asking which prisons the two young men were housed in, since there were many prisons in both states. Baldwin replied in an email that he would give Ryan the inmates addresses if he promised not to release them.
Ryan balked, believing the inmates whereabouts were public to everyone under law.
Fast-forward to another scenario that unfolded this year, when Basinger received a letter from an Iowa inmate. The young man had been violently attacked at an Iowa prison in 2010 by a fellow inmate.
The attack raised security concerns, so much so that the injured inmate was preparing a lawsuit against the Department of Corrections. Then, he was transferred out of state and without his legal paperwork.
The man wrote to her this spring, saying that he was being transferred from his current out-of-state facility to a program in another state.
Basinger knew through other communications the mans attacker was being housed in the same facility and was even enrolled in the same restorative program.
If it was felt it was so dangerous they had to be transferred out-of-state to separate facilities, why would they be put back together in the same prison? she asked. It sounds like an extremely dangerous plan.
Basinger told me the names of the inmates, and I confirmed the 2010 attack in an Iowa prison. But I will not name the inmates because I dont want to be accused of endangering them.
Her point: The agency deals with lots of dangerous inmates who need to be kept separate from others. Yet it still needs to be publicly transparent and responsible for its actions.
I asked Prell for written copies of the states policy or regulations regarding the location of transferred prisoners, but she couldnt find any by my deadline Friday. I also asked her to spell out the specific circumstances under which the DOC would keep prisoners in undisclosed locations.
Prell said in an email that state corrections officials would normally be contacted prior to any transfer for the purpose of determining if we have any concerns. That, and sharing information about inmates who should be kept separate, ensure situations like the one alleged planned transfer youve shared with us do not in fact occur.
Prell said the state transfers inmates out of state for two main reasons: to address safety or move them closer to family. No jurisdiction has contacted the corrections department about a potential transfer of an Iowa inmate, she said.
But if an error is in the works, the public will never know.
The fact that the corrections department did not produce any written policies or regulations defining the limits of confidentiality and use of transfers bothered more than one legal expert I talked to this week.
As Bob Rigg, a lawyer and law instructor at Drake University, said: An agency with so much power, which is so closely scrutinized by the public, should have limits and be accountable.

The Arizona Legislature is considering several new gun laws, including a "Firearms Omnibus" bill that would make Arizona the second state in the nation to require universities and communities to allow guns on campus and one of 10 that permit guns inside public government buildings such as the state Capitol, reports The Arizona Republic.
Senate Bill 1201, sponsored by Havasu City Republican Sen. Ron Gould, would allow people to carry firearms into all government-run facilities and many public events. The only places or events that could ban firearms would be those that post the correct sign, provide firearm lockers and have armed security and a metal detector. The law would apply to university classrooms, city buses and community festivals that get government permits. It would not apply to K-12 schools, according to the report.

This is the raw version of my favourite Japanese dish. Honestly I could eat that everyday!
It is pretty simple too, nothing too elaborate… Altogether it takes around 15 min to prepare, so no excuses
Ingredients: yields 4
- Raw Nori sheets ( you can buy in the UK @ Raw Living)
- 200g of Cauliflower or Jicama ( sadly, I cannot find it in France)
- 2 Avocados
- 1 Carrot
- 1/2 Red bell Pepper thinly slice
- Romaine, shredded
- 1 small Radish….
- 1 t of salt
- 1 table soup of apple or rice vinegar
Process the cauliflower florets, then add the salt and vinegar, process again. If using Jicama, press well through a drainer or nut milk bag, to get rid of the excess of water.
It really looks like rice, I love it!!!
Place the nori sheet on a bamboo roll or cutting board, shiny face down. Spread the raw "rice" leaving 1cm free on top of the shit.
Then place, all your ingredients, try not to put too much, otherwise the sheet will burst. Roll using both hands and tight at the same time. Wet the uncovered band then seal shut.
Cut both end, and with a very sharp knife slice into 6 or 8 makis.
Serve wit Tamari, and raw pickled ginger and if you can find some fresh grated horseradish…

Police on Monday night sent to the scene of a reported burglary found no evidence of a break-in, but did determine the occupant of the house was wanted on two warrants.
Things then went from bad to worse for 31-year-old Bambisha Nicole Crose, as officers reported finding morphine, syringes, a smoking pipe, a hypodermic needle and other drug paraphernalia in her bedroom. She was arrested on preliminary charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of a syringe and reckless possession of paraphernalia.
Warrants were recently issued for Crose in Henry County, where she faces a conversion charge, and in Muncie City Court after she failed to appear for a hearing in a driving-while-intoxicated case.

Federal officials charged an illegal immigrant with allegedly using a false social security card and birth certificate.
Jose Glarza-Buestan, 29, a citizen of Ecuador, allegedly used the false documents when he met with immigration officials in York City about May 14, according to the United States Attorny's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
If convicted, Galarza-Buestan faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $750,000 fine, a news release says.
The investigation was conducted by the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement and Enforcement and Removal Operations.

Rowett plea: don't get stung by Bees
Posted: December 21, 2012|
BURTON Albion boss Gary Rowett has warned his men of the dangers of taking victory for granted against League Two basement club Barnet at Underhill tonight, kick-off 8pm.
The Brewers will be looking for three points to lift themselves into a play-off place — albeit until tomorrow afternoon's round of fixtures.
But Rowett warned last night: "We've been in this position before and we've had to learn a harsh lesson."
Victory over Aldershot Town at the Pirelli Stadium a month ago would have lifted the Brewers to third place.
Instead, they dropped to 10th in a congested table, with Spanish striker Dani Lopez grabbing the only goal of the game as the Shots climbed out of the bottom two.
Four days later Rowett's men came to grief again when they crashed 3-0 away to Wycombe Wanderers, who were also in the relegation zone at the time.
Rowett said: "People look at the league table and see Barnet at the bottom, but I think it's possibly a more dangerous fixture than if we were playing one of the top sides."
The Brewers expect to come face-to-face with Edgar Davids, who also shares managerial responsibilities at the North London club with.
However, the legendary Dutch star has so far been unable to lift the Bees out of the doldrums, although thy have not lost a home league game since crashing 4-1 at home to Plymouth Argyle on October 13.
Rowett said: "I think it's fair to say Barnet had a lot of ground to make up and they can now see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.
"I've seen them a couple of times and, while they haven't picked up as many points as they would like, they're not that bad either.
"If you allow them big spaces they will exploit it and counter attack you with pace."
Barnet's expected style of play could persuade Rowett to persist with the cautious approach that has helped them to improve their away form with an FA Cup victory at Crewe Alexandra and a hard-earned point against Chesterfield.
In both of those games, the Brewers operated with Calvin Zola as a lone targetman and packed their midfield to stifle opponents renowned for their creative football.
Rowett said: "We've done well in the last two away games, but we still need to improve our record on the road if we are to keep ourselves in a good position in the league table.
"We chose a certain way of playing at Crewe and Chesterfield and it worked for us in terms of the results.
"The question is whether we now suddenly change that philosophy just because we're playing the side at the bottom of the league.
"We've got resilience in abundance and while we want to add quality to our game in certain areas, we certainly don't want to compromise our strengths.
"Really good teams can do both, but I have to keep reminding myself and other people that we're still a work in progress.
"We might not out pass the opposition at times, but we've got a terrific bunch of lads who work their socks off."
Midfield anchorman Lee Bell misses the game through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season at the Proact Stadium last weekend.
Club skipper John McGrath is hoping to make his first start since undergoing a foot operation during the summer, though the holding role could go to Jack Dyer.

CLEVELAND (AP) - Cavaliers starting point guard Mo Williams will miss at least one month with a sprained left shoulder, a major blow to the Eastern Conference's top team.
Williams injured his shoulder in Tuesday night's win over Toronto when he reached for a steal in the third quarter. He was taken to the locker room for an examination and treatment before returning to the floor and making a key 3-pointer in the fourth quarter.
The Cavs said Thursday before their game against the Los Angeles Lakers that an MRI revealed the sprain and that Williams is projected to be out for the "next four to six weeks."

In an attempt to organize my thoughts and of course, my odds and ends, I created this bulletin board using recycled and vintage materials, that has a special pocket too. Its cork, so you can stick things right to it quick and easy. And you can do it too...
What do I need for this project? Materials: Recycled Frame, Cardboard or other hard-backing, fabric (or recycled hankies, which I used), cork, staple gun, craft glue, paint and brush
How do I make this? Steps: 1. Clean recycled frame, so it is ready for paint. Cut cardboard to fit inside frame.
2. Take cut cardboard and begin gluing thin pieces of cork to surface. Covering the entire piece.
3. While waiting for glue to dry, begin painting the frame with several layers of paint. I like to use leftover house paint because it dries flat and is very durable.
4. While waiting for paint to dry, begin wrapping fabric around the front of cork-covered cardboard and pull around to back to secure with staple gun. I used a vintage handkerchief instead of fabric for the larger fabric piece.
5. To create a pocket for the "bottom" of the bulletin board, I added an inexpensive linen separate from the larger piece. I folded the linen in half and ironed it to create a finished edge. And then overlapped the linen on top of the large navy piece by two inches and secured it in the back with a staple gun, but left the front open, creating the pocket.
6. Once that is done and the paint is dry on the frame, pop the finished cardboard/fabric piece into the frame and secure in the back. Now, its ready to hang or lean up against your dresser.
Side note: I actually had a different tutorial planned for today. One that is more Valentine's inspired. But I unfortunately couldn't finish it in time. So, check back tomorrow...fingers crossed, I might just have that tutorial ready for tomorrow. Until then, visit the tutorials page to create more than 25 fun projects.

I'm a reservation holder for a Model S. A friend pointed me to this blogpost regarding the battery warranty that Tesla has.
What's true about this blog? Is it a BS story or do I have to worry?
Sounds bad. Owners should be at least warned what happens with fully depleted battery. I hope that that blog post isn't true, but unfortunately it does sound fake.
I wonder is TSLA's stock price drop over $1.25 is because of this post?
@BYT-I'm sure it is...down even more now (1.82)
Could be a great buying opportunity
@ThomasN, I like the way you think!
Isn't it sad when an article full of crap and fear can cause financial harm just by being published on the web? The pen, er, keyboard is mightier than the sword. And common sense, apparently.
This is true today about anything on the web, the blog has more power then it should and it causes everything from fluctuating stock prices to a bully killing someone socially online and causes young and easily influenced Tweens and Teens to do drastic things to themselves. Sad but true reality!
The PEN is mightier than the SWORD!
According to Stephen Smith of TM.....Tesla batteries can remain unplugged for weeks (even months), without reaching zero state of charge. Owners of Roadster 2.0 and all subsequent Tesla products can request that their vehicle alert Tesla if SOC falls to a low level. All Tesla vehicles emit visual and audible warnings if the battery pack falls below five percent SOC. (stephen.kamichi)
(Crossposting here b/c the other thread is private and this one is public.)
GreenCarReports is covering the story... Which lets me hope that we will have a few definitive statements soon.
The following statement seems to be a bit suspicious:
" A third bricked Tesla Roadster apparently sits in its owner's garage in Newport Beach, California. That owner allegedly had a similar prior incident with a BMW-produced electric vehicle. He claimed BMW replaced that vehicle, but Tesla refuses to do the same"
As far as I know BMW hasn't made an electric vehicle yet. The only car's that are tested at the moment are EV Mini's. But these are tests and the testers do not own the vehicle.
The link to greencarreports that Volker posted has a discussion under the article were some are saying that it is a BS story and that the battery will remain stable for a lot longer time that quoted in the article.
GreenCarReports has published a follow-up:
As the blog post points out, though, the "weeks or months" applies starting from fully charged state. If the battery is low to begin with, it would "brick" far sooner.
I wonder what the Leaf tech is that prevents full discharge, and why TM doesn't have it.
A responsible report would have done a better job of citing sources. This is an owner's forum...we don't have any complaints about this? Unnamed sources don't carry a lot of weight with me. I'm not losing any sleep over this.
Down in the notes at the bottom of the article.
"A written Tesla report on one "bricked" Roadster documents that the vehicle went from 4% full to complete discharge in seven days"
If you are just walking away from your car at 4% then you obviously didn't read the manual or even the forum or listen to a sales rep.
Maybe this was the one that sat in the temporary garage. It did say he took it out for a drive first.... then the car sat for 6 weeks.
I do not ever plan on treating my car like this. Sounds like some of these folks have money to throw around when they purchase a 100K+ car and do not care about it enough to check in and see if it still has a charge at least once every week or two.
This honestly does not sound like a serious problem to me. It's sounds like neglect! lol
Just extrapolating the report. If you parked at an airport with 20% charge it would sit there for at least a months before risking brickville.
I don't know about y'all, but I have no intention of leaving my $100,000 car at the airport for even a day, let alone one month.
"What, you mean I have to change the OIL my AMG Mercedes?! You didn't tell me that if I didn't change the oil it would eventually cause the engine to overheat and crack the block! What do you mean it's not covered under warranty? I need a whole new engine!"
The point I'm trying to make is that we have a lot of a posteriori knowledge about ICEs because we've grown up with them, the problem is that we assume that it's a priori knowledge. Basically, you grew up in a world that changed it's oil so you knew that all along and no one had to tell it to you. Electric cars are new and in 50 years anyone who bitches about damage done through not plugging it in for long periods of time will look just as ridiculous as the guy who doesn't ever change his oil does now.
@phb Amen!
I'm confused by Nissan's comment:
"The Nissan LEAF battery pack will never discharge completely"
Why don't we just take a LEAF battery pack and make an infinite range EV? Apparently it will never discharge completely even if the rest of the universe decays.
AS one of the comments on that blog noted, the LEAF manual contradicts the assertion as well.
After 100 years experience with ICEs you would think that checking the oil once in a while was pretty standard. NOT. My dumbass brother drove his Hyundai Accent until it quit, left smoking in a parking lot. Pushed it to a used car dealer who gave him $150 for the scrap metal. He just never got around to checking the oil level, let alone change it.
Some people will never understand what is required of them when purchasing a car. The same can be said about any other product. Cell phones being dropped in a toilet (little indicator tells the tech it was submerged and isn't covered under warranty), lap tops being left in strange places, i.e. on the beach in the sun, on the roof of a car and then driven off. I can go on and on about the stories I've heard just around my (extended) family. The big difference is that a cell phone ONLY cost 200-300 bucks to replace.
So whether the article is factual or not, I can't imagine anyone other than the extremely wealth (or stupid) who need some one to wipe their backsides, to treat a $60000 - $100000 car with anything but pampering care.
Having said that, I am sure TM will be a little more specific on battery care. Although from another post, the manual states that allowing the battery to go to zero charge will damage the battery. Does it really need to say how much damage? A non sealed lead acid battery will be damaged if the electrolyte isn't topped off and it too will not be covered under warranty.
Oh well, I've ranted long enough. Stupid people should not be allowed to handle equipment beyound their mental capacity. I hope I'm not that stupid.
How many "middle-class families" leave a car idle for months on end?
Is it reasonable to expect that you can simply ignore a manufacturer's instructions on safe operation of a product and then, after destroying the product through irresponsible abuse, ask the manufacturer to pay for your folly?
I have zero sympathy with this guy, too feckless to follow basic instructions on the care of an expensive item, and too quick to cry "victim" rather than fess up to his own stupidity.
Why can't people own up to their own mistakes, instead of finding someone else to blame?
@Robert - Culture of entitlement and irresponsibility.
All that is true, but TM should be explicit. "NEVER allow the battery to fully discharge. It will be destroyed, and not replaced under warranty." Make it firm and fudge-free.
+1 Brian H. If this blog is even close to true, I'm with you. Black box warnings up front along those lines. I for one DO plan to leave the car at the airport, and while I plan to find a lot with a charger, at 300 mile range, and 30 miles from the airport, I should have over 200 miles of discharge to go and have more than enough juice to get home. Still, I like the option for the car to text me if something anomalous comes up. Firmware options to 'reserve' the last 10% of the battery and/or automatically change the car to starvation mode would help too.
For Sig money, they should pay the AAA recharge trucks to come to you and charge it. :-)
Five roadsters out of over 2000 is less than 0.25%. The article has made a mountain out of a mole hill.
The thing I find wierd is that, you would think, as a final safety measure, the car should be able to turn itself off completely at an extremely low charge. Yes, this does mean that the temperature control system for the battery will be shut off, and the battery could be damaged by the exterior climate conditions, but it still seems better to risk this rather than run up against the 100% certain eventual battery death.
I wonder is Model S will have a cut-off switch which separates the battery from rest of the car if it gets really low state of charge. It is designed to be swappable and I bet it would not be a good thing to have electronics running with just plain plugging off the battery (like having your PC unplugged instead of shut down).
Completely separating battery would slow down the battery discharging quite a bit even if it is still discharging. Then all that remains is "shelf" discharging. Connection could be re-established from outside of battery by plugging it in again.
Anyway, Tesla should replace battery by warranty if there is "force majeure" case of letting it unplugged too long. Like someone got in a accident and is in coma for month or two. Also clear warning what will happen if it gets drained completely is in order. It is a limitation of the tech that car owner needs to be clearly aware.
People comparing this to oil change: Oil can be replaced without damaging engine if the car has been stationary too long. It doesn't cost you $40k to do that. Also you don't require oil change every time after just two weeks after a long trip. Plugging in is not comparable to that.
Some of you are missing the point. What this 'brick' blog is simply pointing out, is that owning an electric car requires lots and lots of maintenance! In order to make sure your electric car continues to work, you need to.. uh.. plug it in - every single night! Well, first of all, you need to park it in or near your garage. Try that trick late on a Friday night! Then you've got to find that charging doo-hickey, and plug that thing in. And God help you if you don't pay your light bill! Or if you plug it in using some extension cord you got at the dollar store that can't handle all that 'lectricity. All this is simply too much! Especially when you compare it with the simple maintenance you need for a good old gasoline car.
Gasoline cars require very little maintenance. All you have to do with that one is ... get some fresh oil! ...
And get a lift and jack the thing up in the air. Or you can live on the edge like I do and use the tire jack to lift it. Heck! It hasn't fallen on me yet! And then all you have to do is get out the old 13mm wrench, and darned if that bozo at Spiffy Lube didn't halfway strip it, but that's ok I've got vice-grips and then all you have to do is get a tray or bucket or something that will slide under there that you don't mind being covered with dirty oil all the time and then whip that little bolt out of there and get out of the way because that dirty oil's a comin' ... And then all you do is wait for a while underneath the hot, greasy car until all that oil comes out, and then reach up there just like Houdini and grab that filter and turn that thing while your arm has more angles than a geometry book... And then all you have to do is get another filter and put a little fresh oil on that seal so it doesn't leak, and reverse geometry that arm back up in there and put that filter back in and try to get that angle right so you don't strip it and then put the bolt back in and get some more oil and put some in according to how much the manual says and then put the car back down and then use that dipstick to check the level and try to figure out where the level is and if there's not enough then you simply add a little fresh oil and if there's too much...well did I mention I have vice grips? Don't want to blow a seal... And then you're done! Simple. .. ... except you gotta get rid of that old oil in the tray... So you just have to get a gallon milk jug or two and a funnel... And now your car is running so nice that you don't mind sticking that oil jug on the front seat and taking it down to the old Spiffy Lube, where they will take it off your hands for a small fee. And while you're out you can throw away the old filter and head for Pop Boys for another new filter (the new, improved, extra special kind for an extra buck) and a dozen more quarts of fresh oil. Simple!
"Plug it in" ???! Whaddaya think I got all day??
It was my understanding that the Model S does not manage the temperature of the battery pack unless the car is "on" (driving, etc.) or unless the car is plugged in.
That might not be true for the Roadsters. The TM statement did make it a point to say that "Roadster 2.0" users didn't have to worry. Some of the examples in the original blog post mentioned earlier versions (#340). Perhaps they changed something between versions that significantly lowers the risk of becoming a brick?

Fishing in lakes and ponds is a good place to start because they are great places for fish to live. They produce abundant plant food and offer plenty of cover for fish to hide. Shoreline structures like docks, logs, stumps, brush and rocks provide shelter, shade and protection for fish. All of which means lakes and ponds are prime fishing spots.
You can fish lakes and ponds from the shore or from a boat. You can find fish in shallow or deep water, in open water or near natural or man-made structures. In lakes, you'll catch freshwater fish species like largemouth and smallmouth bass, pike, pickerel, perch, panfish, trout, even salmon.
Get to know your lake structure. Points, inlets, holes, sunken islands, dams, submerged objects (manmade or natural) and reeds and weeds are all considered structure. You should always fish in and around structure. It's a simple formula.
Cliffs and Steep Shore Banks
A sheer cliff or bank that goes straight down into deep water provides no structure, break line or gradual path to deeper water. So it doesn't attract fish. On the other hand, a cliff or bank that has an underwater shelf or slopes gradually toward deeper water does attract fish. Look for crumbled-off rock at the underwater base of sharp cliffs. Deep-water fish may be attracted to these rocks for food or spawning.
Rocks are often some of the best fishing places. They provide fish with shelter (cover), food and a possible place to mate. Remember, always fish structure. If the rocks are in deeper water or on the edge of deeper water, they provide an even better place for lake and pond fishing. Just be careful not to snag your bait.
Points with Break Lines
A point extends out from the shoreline and slopes gradually down and into deeper water. It is a good place to fish. But a point with a quick drop-off or one that doesn't extend into deeper water isn't a good fishing place.
Drift Lines and Wind
Have you ever noticed lines on the water during a breezy day? The breeze is actually pushing surface water around the lake which, in turn, pushes surface food around. Look for the drift lines and you'll find fish.
Stronger winds can actually push bait fish closer to shore, bringing game fish closer to shore to feed.Sometimes really strong winds can make for good fishing, stirring up everything from microscopic food to lunker fish. But it's pretty tricky and can be dangerous. So it's best to go with a pro or experienced guide.
Weed Beds
Weed beds are structure. They provide food and shelter for bait fish, which attract game fish. Look for weed beds that lead to deeper water and create a break line. Or look for sunken weed beds in deep, open water.
Islands and Sand Bars
These sunken or partially sunken bodies of land will attract both bait fish and game fish if they create a break line where the land slopes gradually down and into deeper water. Water currents run around islands, too, carrying small plant food and aquatic animals that float on the surface. That can also attract bait fish and game fish.
Holes are glacially formed basins that are lower than the rest of the lake. Water in holes is cooler, attracting deep-water fish on hot, summer days. You'll need a topographical map to find them.
Open Water
Good luck. If you're not in shallow water, and there are no weeds or other natural or man-made structure in sight—above or below the water—you're in open water, and you're not in one of the best fishing places.
But you might be right above a stream or river channel that deep-water fish use to go from one side of the lake to the other in search of food. Or, you might be above a deep hole or drop-off where deep-water fish rest from the current. Still, it's tough to catch fish in either of these places.
Sometimes, in early spring and late fall, when there's very little vegetation anywhere, bait fish will roam open lake waters in search of plankton. During those times, you can look for small fish on the surface in the open water. If you see a bunch of small fish, it's a good bet larger fish are lurking below.
Spring Holes
This is one of our favorite freshwater fishing tips. When water boils up from the bottom of the lake, it creates a spring hole. In the summer, deep-water fish are attracted to these holes because the water coming up is always cooler. Even when the hole is not in deep water, spring holes can attract unsuspecting, deep-water lunkers. But spring holes are really tough to find. If you're up for the challenge, use a water temperature gauge in the summer to locate the outer edges of the cold water zone and the depth of the layer. Spring holes are sometimes found in boat harbors that have been dredged, which open up springs, causing colder water to collect in areas sheltered from wind. After the water freezes, look for open water along icebound shorelines, which could indicate inflowing springs where the water is warmer in winter than the lake water. Note these areas and return in the summer.
Sunken Objects
Trees, branches, logs, stumps and rocks are all considered to be structure. They all provide shelter, shade and protection for fish. So it's a good place to hook a fish. Always watch your line, and be extra careful if you're in a boat so you avoid hitting any objects.
Lily Pads
The insects and other aquatic critters that live on and around lily pads always attract smaller bait fish; and bait fish always attract bigger fish. Huge patches of lily pads can also create shade, which also attracts fish. Cast into the edges and openings. Otherwise, you may tangle up your gear.
Gradual Shores, Piers Docks and Pilings
Like any structure that tilts gradually down and into deeper water, a gradual-sloping shoreline can provide plant food, attract fish and create a path out of and back into deeper water. However, a really gradual slope will create a large expanse of shallow water that will not attract fish.
Wherever there's structure there's food, shelter and fish. Weeds, barnacles and other food sources can attach to anything. Docks and piers provide shelter from the sun and a nice resting spot for both big and small fish.
Inside Turns and Coves
An inside turn is a small inlet that cuts into the shore and is one of the best fishing places. If the water in the turn is shallow, you've got another break line, and another great place to catch fish.
A cove is a larger version of an inside turn. With more shoreline, more shallows and more protection, and hopefully more fish. Smaller fish will patrol a cove for plant food and bait fish, and game fish may arrive early in the morning or late at night.
Water along the shore provides a lot of structure and food. So it attracts fish. Bait fish come in for the plant food. Pan fish, such as crappies, sunfish, bluegill and perch, come in for the bait fish. Early in the morning – or late at night - game fish will swim into the shallows to sneak up on both the bait fish and the pan fish.
Yup, it's possible to land a big pike or even a muskie close to shore.
Inlets and Outlets
All natural lakes are fed by a river or a stream of some sort. So they have inlets and outlets for the water. Wherever there is incoming or outgoing water, there's going to be a lot of food, and a lot of fish.
Walkways are like piers, but are specially built fishing platforms that are near or run parallel to bridges, piers, shoreline bulkheads, or similar structures. An example is a walkway along a bridge, but constructed at a lower level. This keeps anglers safe from auto traffic and puts them closer to the water.
Lake and pond fishing isn't always allowed from bridges because of the danger from traffic. Bridges where angling is permitted must be fished carefully.

Undermining China's Monopoly on Rare Earth Elements
Page 2 of 2
Under current permits, the company could potentially double production, to 40,000 tons a year, beyond 2012. Smith says demand is likely to exceed supply for some years to come, even if Lynas Corporation's Mount Weld mine outside Perth, Australia, begins production as expected in summer 2011. That company expects to produce 15,000 tons of rare earth elements a year by 2015.
Even with raw materials in place, U.S. manufacturers can't produce many important technologies based on rare earth elements. Bastnäsite from the Mountain Pass mine can be processed on site to make didymium oxide, a powder that contains the element neodymium, which is critical for making lightweight permanent magnets. But didymium oxide requires further processing to make the neodymium-iron-boron alloy from which the magnets are made. The magnets found in a wind turbine require several hundred kilograms of neodymium.
No company in the United States currently has the technological capacity, or the necessary intellectual-property licenses, to make neodymium magnets. Yesterday, Molycorp and Hitachi metals announced an agreement to produce these magnets in the United States; the two companies plan to sign a definite agreement by April 2011. According to the DOE, only 10 companies, which are located in Germany, Japan, and China, are currently licensed to make such magnets. The intellectual property is owned by Hitachi Metals and by Magnequench, which is now part of AMR Technologies, a company based in Canada that was bought by a Chinese consortium in 1995. Molycorp's Smith says that producing alloys for magnets could increase the company's profit margins by 125 percent.
A recent report published by the U.S. Geological Survey estimates the total rare earth reserves in the United States at 1.5 million tons. But the report says it's unclear how much of these reserves can be mined economically. The DOE report outlines a strategy of diversifying the international supply of rare earths, identifying substitute materials, and finding ways to use the materials more efficiently and recycle them. Researchers at Hitachi, GE, and the University of Delaware are collaborating on the development of an alternative magnet material that requires smaller amounts of rare earth materials, or none at all. But this and similar projects are still in the early stages.

Stallone's funeral arrangedComment on this story
London - Sage Stallone's funeral will take place on Saturday.
The body of the 36-year-old actor - who was found dead on July 13 - will reportedly be laid to rest in a private service at the weekend.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Sage will be buried on Saturday. His body was picked up from the coroner by a mortuary that is based in Westwood earlier this week. The funeral will be private and it will be family and friends only and will be celebration of his life."
Meanwhile, it has been claimed that authorities investigating Sage's death believe he was a drug dealer who sold Hydrocodone - more commonly known as Vicodin - but don't think he was an addict himself as his build was not typical of habitual drug users.
A source told TMZ: "He was pudgy, and drug addicts are almost always rail thin."
Insiders told the gossip website that no pills were found in Sage's Los Angeles home, but 60 giant prescription bottles - which each would have held 500 tablets - were discovered and investigators are now planning to use batch numbers and serial numbers to track down the bottles, but it is thought probable that they were shipped from abroad.
An initial autopsy on Sage's body, which was completed on Sunday, proved inconclusive and the cause of death is not expected to be known for up to two months until the toxicology tests are completed. - Bang Showbiz

I totally missed my looperversary a couple weeks ago (Nov. 28th). 2 years have flown by. I've come a long way - but my recent setbacks mean I haven't done everything I wanted to do this year. I guess a sub 2 half and a marathon around 4:30 or better will have to wait. Who knows how long? But I'm finally feeling more confident that my injury is about healed (SI joint dysfunction on the right that led to really messed up form which led practically every muscle in the upper part of my left leg being injured in some way, it seemed anyway.) I had another chiropractor appointment yesterday, but I've gone from 2 a week, to 1 a week all the way down to one a month. I'd like to get down to just occasionally or right before/after races, because my insurance won't pay for it and it is a lot of money. But less than I'd have paid just for diagnostics in traditional medicine (not that traditional medicine is bad - I was premed at one point myself) so there is that. Assuming we don't get ice or too much snow to run safely I'll be outside only for the second time since my injury. I'm looking forward to it. (Might even earn a little bacon)
Rock on and keep on running.....
I really hope you're over your injury!!! Go amarie!!
"Glory is Fleeting, Anonymity is Forever"
Speed+Pavement = a fling
Distance+Trails = True Love
Go get some bacon chica!
Enjoy getting back out there! I'm sure it'll feel great!
Don't stop believing
Attitude is everything
Looks like you are on your way back. Hope there is nothing but progess from here on out.
Run on everyone.....................Steve
Happy, happy (belated) Loopiversary! I look forward to seeing you return to form in 2014 and conquer those goals. You've been very patient, and runners (more than just about anyone) know that patience pays dividends.
Happy Loopiversary! I started going to a chiropractor this year and she's got me into the best running state I've been in for the last 4-5 years. I was a bit iffy at first, but she's worked some magic! I hope 2014 is the year of your comeback!
I see a sub 2 hr half in your near future!
No kidding! But I'm glad this is helping because I really was a mess! At one point I walked in limping and walked out almost normal.
Congrats on the Loopiversary and good luck with everything.

President Barack Obama awards the Medal of Honor to retired Army Capt. William D. Swenson of Seattle in the White House on Oct. 15. Swenson received the honor for his actions in a lengthy battle against the Taliban in 2009.
- Filed Under
Last month, President Barack Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to former Capt. William D. Swenson, United States Army, for heroism and gallantry above and beyond the call of duty in the Battle of the Ganjgal Valley on Sept. 8, 2009.
During six hours of intense combat, Capt. Swenson did everything expected of leaders and more: keeping his ambushed unit fighting effectively, directing available fires, evacuating the wounded, and leading by example in repeatedly risking his personal safety to retrieve wounded soldiers and Marines, Afghan allies and fallen comrades.
Swenson would tell you ...

There is no reason not to buy this and like it!!

I bought this because I was looking to clarify my hair and condition it thoroughly before touching up my hair color, mostly the roots, and pull color over the rest of my waist-length hair. I used a sodium laureth-based shampoo that I have never had problems using before. I only use such shampoos when clarifying before conditioning and color work, so if I have product buildup it will not affect my color.
That being said, this product did not seem to have any ingredients I have not used in the past. I also have liked the Ever line from L'Oreal, and use it in my regular rotation for color-treated hair care. It smells great, and does not break up into globs when you scoop it from the jar. However, when I rinsed L'Oreal Advanced Total Repair 5 out of my hair, after the full 2 minutes suggested on the label, my hair felt like straw -- I couldn't even get my fingers through it. I have fine hair,which I condition and care for carefully, and it began breaking, during the most delicate of efforts to untangle it.
I wound up pouring a teaspoon of Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine (which I love!) into my hand and working that carefully into my wet hair, before i could finger comb it, then finish with a wide toothed comb, gently, from the bottom.
I used my root touch-up kit with no problems, finished with the conditioner that comes with my hair color product's full application kit, and had no further problems, other than having lost significant hair to breakage after using what was supposed to be a deep conditioning hair mask. Very disappointing! Last time I buy conditioner at the supermarket, regardless of the brand!

My hair is elbow length, fine yet dense on the scalp, and oily on the scalp but a little drier toward the ends. I bought the liter size with the pump of this from walmart and it is a very high quality conditioner for the price. Makes my hair very smooth and manageable.

I really like this conditioner - it leaves my hair soft and unlike other conditioners I've used before - it's shiny. My hair is dry, frizzy, and curly/wavy. Unfortunately, this didn't help with frizz, but nevertheless, my hair looked healthier. For frizz I discovered Garnier's Argan oil serum - it really helps and lasts for a long time as you need only a bit.

This is the first product in L'Oreal's new "Advanced Haircare" line that I've tried. I like a conditioner that has a silicone near the top of the ingredient list (this one has amodimethicone as the 3rd ingredient) because I have hair that gets knotted and tangled very easily, and I need something with a lot of slip, which this has. I have long, thick, coarse, curly, caucasian hair and I wet-comb the conditioner thru in the shower. I had no problems whatsoever getting the comb through with this conditioner, even after going 2 or 3 days without washing.
The scent is a pleasant/non-descript floral and I like that the cap is on the bottom for easy dispensing.
After years of trying every haircare product known to humanity, I've decided that it's not worth spending more than $4 on any regular-sized conditioner, and it's easy to stay under that price limit with this conditioner, especially when on sale and/or with a coupon.
This seems to be a well-formulated conditioner, which is not only inexpensive, but it leaves my hair feeling EXTREMELY silky, has great slip and is highly recommended. *****
EDIT: I've since tried a couple other conditioners in the line, (Triple Resist and TotalRepair-Extreme, and I think I still prefer this one). :-)

After using and loving the Total Repair 5 Deep Conditioner, I decided to try the corresponding conditioner as my non-curly conditioner (I have thick, waist-length 2b/c hair; when I�m going to straighten it or braid it I like to use a heavier, more moisturizing, repairing conditioner that might normally weigh down curls). After one use, using this along with the deep conditioner, I noticed that my hair was incredibly soft and much shinier than before. My husband loves the fragrance, so that�s a bonus. I decided to give this conditioner a chance with my curls. I don�t use the deep conditioner on my curls because it does weigh them down, but the regular conditioner claimed to be light. To my surprise, it didn�t weigh down my curls (any more than normal, because of my hair�s length my curls get pretty stretched out). It still isn�t my favorite conditioner for my curls (that would be Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Conditioner), but this is a great, cost-effective alternative. I will continue to buy this.

This product is very perfumey. Other than that, i actually like it. But, due to its scent, i won't be repurchasing anymore of it, after I have used up it all. That is the only real con, i have with this product. If the scent wasn't so perfumey, i actually would continue to re-buy it.

Soo I had a bad experience with this stuff. It make my ends really dry. Like crazy dry and frizzy I tried it about three times before I just gave up and returned it. I have bleached dry curly hair and its prone to breakage and split ends. This certainly didn't help.
Its only $4(target) so if anyone wants to give it a try its not a huge loss and you can always return it, depending on the store of course. I think this may work better on hair that is damaged from heat styling and color treating. Thats just my opinion though.
Two stars for a nice slip and smart packaging.
I also used this with the shampoo.

UDM finds SONA 'underwhelming'Comment on this story
Cape Town - President Jacob Zuma's State of the Nation on Tuesday was once again underwhelming, United Democratic Movement chief whip Nqabayomzi Kwankwa said.
"I think the entire speech was an underwhelming list of promises once more," Kwankwa said after the address in Parliament.
"He talks about radical transformation but we didn't hear anything radical in the speech."
He criticised Zuma for speaking about a minimum wage, saying this was opposite to a call for radical transformation.
He complimented Zuma on his focus on energy and on incentives for the youth.
However, Kwankwa said more work needed to be done in internships for the youth, making sure they did not just "make photocopies and then leave".

First pics of Microsoft's Surface tablets emerge
updated 08:25 pm EDT, Mon June 18, 2012
Showing off tablet, keyboard cover
Today Microsoft pulled back the veil on its much-rumored tablets. Dubbed "Surface," the Microsoft-branded tablets run either Windows 8 Pro or Windows RT and feature a novel cover that doubles as a keyboard. The company has followed up with images showing off both the tablet and its productivity-oriented keyboard cover.
Both tablets share a 10.6-inch display, though the ARM-based Windows RT model brings a thinner chassis that measures just 9.3mm thick. The Intel-based variant, in contrast, steps up to a 13.5mm-thick housing despite a smaller battery.
Microsoft has yet to announce pricing details or ship dates for either tablet.
