Excuse me in advance if this has been covered, the forum has no way to search for previous posts, as far as I can tell, so go easy on me ;-)
Just completed my paperwork and the ETA provided is Feb/March of 2013. What I found surprising is that even though it won't be produced and delivered until 2013, the model year on the paperwork is a 2012.
My question/observation is two-fold.
1. Wouldn't a vehicle manufactured in 2013 actually be a 2013 model year product?
2. For pure resale value, if my vehicle is produced and delivered in 2013 but carries a 2012 model year, I've basically lost one full year from a resale perspective upon delivery of the vehicle.
I can understand buying a 2012 model in 2013 from leftover dealer inventory, and getting a deal relative to the fact that it is one model year old at that point, but buying a made-to-order vehicle produced and delivered in 2013 with a 2012 model year?
Doesn't make sense to me and I am wondering if there is anything that would prevent Tesla from calling it a 2012 given its production date...
Have any 2013 model year customers asked this question before and if so, what was Tesla's response?
Thanks in advance.
The Tesla distribution model has no concept of a car rotting in a dealer's inventory and becoming outdated. I don't think anyone buying a used Tesla will be ignorant enough to get the wrong impression based on 'model year'. Tell them it's a Model S version 1.0!
Tell any potential buyer the car number off the line. That's more informative than the year IMO.
As much as I would love to say that Tesla is breaking the mold from tradition when it comes to automobile manufacturing, I still venture to guess that in the used car market, values will still be based on model year as it is driven today by Kelly Blue Book, Edmunds, etc.
Years down the road is when it is going to count, and given the "industry norm" for resale values, regardless of # off the line, I think it will still be viewed as a 2012 vehicle.
There's a reason Tesla included "model year 2012" on the paperwork instead of Vin # X or Version 1.0, so I guess I am hung up on the old school model year designator when I'm spending over $100K on a "year 2012" model built in 2013...
It's a valid point. Has anyone talked to Tesla about this issue?
I don't think Kelly Blue Book will be able to list this like every other car. I suspect it's more like the way some software has been designated. E.g. Windows 95, 98, 2000 etc. The number "2012" does not correspond to the year the car was built or delivered, but to the version of the car.
The next distinct version of the Model S might be 2014 or 2015, who knows?
Personally I'm not too worried about it. Save your paperwork - anyone who buys your car in the future will have all the information they need if they know your res# and vin.
I agree with edhtesla - I assumed all cars were 2013 (the sites I have seen (kbb, edmunds) only list 2013 Tesla Model S.
I would suggest you email George B.(firstname.lastname@example.com) I would if I had my MVPA. Please share the reply you get.
So when my new Tesla is delivered, by blue book value, I'll be driving a 14-15 month old vehicle based on the year of the vehicle and standard resale value calcs. I'd love to say that in 2014 a 2012 Tesla with 25000 miles on it that was built in 2013 will be worth the same as a 2013 Tesla built 3 months later with the same 25000 miles on it, but the resale value tools won't take this into account. It WILL be worth less as it will be deemed 1 full model year older.
It's no different than buying a 2012 Chevy this month versus a 2013. The 2012 is worth less than the 2103 no matter what (which is why dealers are making deals on leftover 2012 inventory).
I'll send George B. this question and will post back what the response is, if any.
@edhtesla | OCTOBER 25, 2012: What I found surprising is that even though it won't be produced and delivered until 2013, the model year on the paperwork is a 2012.
You can try putting your VIN number into a online VIN decoder. For example, http://www.vindecoder.net . The model year is in the 10th digit of the VIN. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number
What feels odd is the comparison to the usual practice by the biggies. They announce 2013 models in July 2012. But by federal law, auto companies are allowed to produce any given model for 2 years, from 6 months early to 6 months late. I think TM sold its investors the notion that the S would be a 2012 model, which it can sell thru June 30, 2013.
From George B:
"All cars built in 2013 will be 2013 model year cars."
Apparently the Purchase Agreement we've signed will be followed by a final Agreement, which will reflect the VIN number and appropriate model year based on when the car was finished production.
You can go to the 10th digit of the VIN#. That is always the year model of the car.
For Example:
2010: The letter "A"
2011: The letter "B"
2012: The letter "C"
2013: The letter "D"
If your 10th digit is a "C", you have a 2012 regardless.
I do agree that by this time of the year, these cars should be 2013's. Frankly, by not delievering cars until June of this year, everyone of them should have gone out as a 2013. Somebody slipped on this one, unless to say that after 7 months of delieveries, they are successfully in the 2nd year of production.
I am of the opposite opinion. I want my year to be a 2012 for resale value. I want people to know I had one of the first models that ever came out - hence mine is a sig performance. But truly, I never plan on selling, will pass down to my children.
As usual, George B. is extremely responsive and helpful. Thanks for posting his response. I think Tesla will likely follow the calendar for model year decisions in contrast to other companies.
I fully agree with edhtesla comments about resale in future. A buyer is not going to ask what the VIN # is. Edmunds or Kelly Blue book as he said goes by year / mileage / condition to assign value.
Many other car makers begin selling their 2013 models as early as June 2012 while TM might be still selling new 2012 models as late as June 2013. So basically the way it is setup now is that you could receive your new 2012 in June 2013, while your neighbor gets a non-Tesla 2014 model the same day in June 2013. It is an unfair competitive advantage to non-Tesla owners when reselling since Tesla so far is assigning model years this way.
I spoke to repr a month ago on this very issue and he said year is assigned when they are actually built. So I thought some folks would get a 2012 delivered 12-15-12 while others delivered on 1-15-13 would get a 2013 model. Doesn't seem fair but there has to be a cut off point I understand.
But nor is it fair that non-Tesla models have the advantage over TM in this regard since Tesla has a different philosphy of assigning model years (which all cars should follow-when it was built, that year) I hope TM can level the playing field regarding assigning model years to allow us to a equitable sale to a buyer when we upgrade to newer TM models!
TM needs to address this issue since resale value is important to buyers spending so much money. I don't want a 2012 year on my registration if it gets delivered in 2013. Even if they stick to year built is model year, it is still 6months older than the nonTM models sold when they resell their cars. Pls clarify this issue for us all TM. Thanks.
I placed my order two weeks ago and asked the same question. The rep told me since there is no change to the car from one year to the next it's not designated a model year, just production year. Makes sense but I agree will be confusing to the public.
I recall on the big factory tour event last year, they said cars made in 2013 would be 2013s, which is the same as George is saying. But they also have the concept of a version number. So it's a 2012 S1.0. I may end up with a 2013 S1.0, and someone next summer, a 2013 S1.1 (do not have any info to lead me to believe they will do minor version numbers. Just made that up.)
The 'competitive advantage' is imaginary. Model S resales will establish their own market values. The year number will have little impact once the calendar year concept sinks in.
@ DavidG
"But by federal law, auto companies are allowed to produce any given model for 2 years, from 6 months early to 6 months late."
Don't know about that...I ordered a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid in February 2009 (they started building them in January 2009) and it was in my hands June 6th, 2009.
Imagine you are in the market for a used Tesla Roadster. Are you really going to get hung up on which 'model year' the car is? I would look at what's out there and check the mileage and accident history vs what I could afford. With all the factors that go into the buying decision, I don't think model year is that important.
As far as standards such as KBB are concerned, it's all about researching actual sales and comparing your car to the set of cars that have previously been sold. As Brian H said, they establish their own market and values as they are sold.
I bought my 2003 Model and Year Honda Accord at the dealer, brand new, off the showroom floor in November 2004, the opposite extreme of sagebrushnw. I did that because back then, Honda's trim and look was the same, every 4 years they would change it and 2004 was the first change to the Accord so I knew it would look new for a while and was able to negotiate a nice discount based on it's Model Year.
I did the same with my wife's 2003 Acura (bought it in 2004).
So, you bought fake current model year cars? For shame!
I do hope Brian H and EcLectric are correct in their analysis and that the year on my registration will NOT make any difference when I go to sell it: whether it is a 2012 delivered Dec 2012 or a 2013 delivered Jan 2013, given same mileage, features etc. It just seemed to me that most buyers of cars are willing to pay more for and want the newest year model when given a choice between the two.
You find a beautiful 2012 Black 85kWh loaded Model S.
You then find a Loaded 2013 Black Model S 85 kWh with the same miles, and similar condition, except the 2013 has 5 more months of warranty. They are both priced the same. Which one do you buy?
That is exactly the reason the 2013 will be worth more money. Probably at least $3k-$4k more. Those are just the facts, but I don't think that is the reason that people are jumping in now. I would think their excited about having one of the few Model S's on the road, and hopefully in the car for the long haul. As years go by, the dollar difference will be less.
But that (the warranty remaning) has nothing to do with the model year, you have to look at first registration date. A nice 2013 that is 5 months younger than another nice 2013 would have the same advantage and should command the same premium. At least that's how I'd see it.
+1 lgagliardi
Just what I was thinking :)
I disagree with your suggestion that a cars resale value can be determined by a calculation tool.
The value of anything is only ever determined by what somebody else is willing to pay for it. The calculation tool just gives you an estimate.
If the potential buyer(s) at time of resale are more interested in the potential (future) vintage value of the car, then they may well value a 2012 model higher than a 2013 model.
If on the other hand, the potential buyer(s) are more interested in present value, warranty, etc... then they will probably value a 2013 model higher.
I disagree with you edhtesla completely. It is just reality guys. Say what you will. After 30 years in the High End and Exotic Car Business, its spelled out very plainly. Year newer, more money assuming options, and miles are even up.
The 5 months difference in warranty would be a fact since 13 models come out in January. Track the history of cars, and resale. It is what it is.If its about vintage, typically the last year the car is produced is generally the one that bring the highest value. Not the first year. Having sold more than 10,000 vehicles myself, I stand on my previous statement. These are not one off cars, or very limited production vehicles. They are everyday drivers. Everyone is entitled to there opinion. I don't take that away from anyone, but these are meterial facts. Time will tell the same story again.
Typical conversations at a dealer:
Trading-in or selling a used car:
Dealer: I can give you $5000.
You: But Kelly values it at $7000!
Dealer: Then you go and sell it to Kelly.
Buying a used car:
Dealer: The price is $9000.
You: But Kelly values it at $7000!
Dealer: Then you go and buy it from Kelly.
So I also think the market will establish the value of the used Model S. The typical used ICE car buyer will probably look at the model year. The typical used Model S buyer would be of the same stock as the participants in this forum, so I would expect them to be informed and look at the relevant information.
Year newer - yes, year produced... but there is no model year for Model S... Model Year is another gimmick of the traditional auto-manufacturers to squeeze a few more bucks for a few insignificant new bells and whistles.

I have a Motobecane that came with a Stronglight competition BB; 118mm ISO taper spindle. I love the looks of the Stronglight 49D crank, but alas old age has crept up on me, and TA rings are just too darned pricey.
Soooo; for the past 3 years or so I have been running a Sakae SA crank, using it as a compact double, 48, 34 chainrings. The crank is JIS tapered but has seemed to work OK; I do occasionally have to tighten the non drive side crank bolts. I am thinking about getting one of the Velo Orange French threaded cartridge BB's and get the crank back on a Jis taper spindle. I still have the original spindle from the SA. It is stamped 3S; a quick visit to Sheldon Browns, vault o knowledge tells me it is 121.5mm long. This may be a rhetorical question, but I assume I will be OK to get the 122mm spindle option from VO, but wanted to throw this out to you all, see what you think.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & lawman
But i still think that's a little bit more than anyone will be giving me, haven't been a nice boy this year.
Not sure, but a W-Lan might end up the list, it's just very convenient (especially if your lazy like me :) )
And i must say that i will probably buy more than 50% of the gifts that i give to others ;) online.
And many say DVD-Players will be this big gift for christmans, i think that might be a good guess.
I also we will see more "flight ticket" presents, today you can go pretty much worldwide for under Ł500 (return)
So what do you want for christmas?
And will you buy gifts online?
Let the show begin...
Golf convertible. (good chance of me getting this one iv been a good girl all year)
Is that all it takes. Roll on the 25th where I am sure to get 355 spider for all my efforts followed by a round the world trip (1st class) and then back in the real world an orange and a lump of coal. I am sort of from "up narth" you know.
I might manage a Sigma SD9 myself if the reviews are good next year .. and santa does not oblige which I doubt he will :-(
Ideal xmas pressie would be a couple of clones which I could use to do the boring bits while I get on with the stuff I enjoy the most :-)
You listening santa?
I told her before I wanted a PS2. Still got to beat all those Final Fantasy games...
But now I'm not sure, the last time I had a PlayStation(before those PSOne thingies) I spent all my free time on it...
I think she's still leaning towards the PS2. So much for SEO...
what?...like the lead line on this?...[toshforrester.com ]
I never did get the hang of making an accoustic guitar sound like an accoustic guitar...it's not up on the web yet, but there is one track where it's just accoustic into a mic and I've had people ask what I used to get the phase effect...probably comes of thinking of the guitar as mainly a percussion instrument
I'd really really like a Plasma Purple Alienware computer.
Oh, and if Santa wouldn't mind, I'd like a family room floor to replace the one that my dog pulled up. Acid stained concrete, please. Just about any of these [decorative-concrete.net...] will do.
Acid stained concrete
We can do that for you - we'll do most anything for beer. Now if you want the lines straight - that'll cost double.
Hey, it's okay, I'll take one of the floors without lines! We're going for cowboy chic. We don't need the fancy schmancy stuff. Of course, I suppose you'll be wanting beer *and* plane tickets.

With such celebs as Naomi Campbell, Tyson Beckford and Russell Simmons also in attendance, the "Love on Top" singer showed up for the bash with a small group of gal pals and a watchful security guard. Although Jay-Z's world-famous wife stayed in her seat for most of the party, she sang and danced from her chair -- vigorously! -- to tunes from DJ Khaled, T Pain, Snoop Dogg and other hip hop stars.
When Jay-Z and Kanye's hit "Ni*** in Paris" came on, the diva even orchestrated a few hand-flip dance moves a la "Single Ladies!"

Rumors and speculation that there are major new findings from the mission at this early stage are incorrect. The news conference will be an update about first use of the rover's full array of analytical instruments to investigate a drift of sandy soil. One class of substances Curiosity is checking for is organic compounds -- carbon-containing chemicals that can be ingredients for life. At this point in the mission, the instruments on the rover have not detected any definitive evidence of Martian organics.

This could be absolutely HUGE - as the only place we know of plastic originating besides very advanced synthesis technology is from OIL which originates of course from.. fossilized once-living stuff! They have various hypotheses but obviously one cannot ignore what is the most likely reason (at least here on earth).

Mahaffy said it was most likely that the chlorine came from a perchlorate-like compound in the soil. However, he said it wasn't yet clear whether the tiny amount of carbon in the compounds came from the Martian soil or was actually brought to Mars from Earth by Curiosity itself.

|The Gyejoksan Mountain Red Clay Trail is an eco-healing walking trail which can be found on the nation's first mountain with a barefoot walking theme, Mount Gyejok. In 2008, it was considered as one of the '33 travel destinations to go back to' by travel journalists. About 500 children from 100 different countries who took part in the United Nations Children's Conference on the Environment, and Republic of Seychelles President James Michel have also gone barefoot walking on Mount Gyejok.
Visitors can walk on red clay and breathe in the fresh aroma of pine trees while enjoying a view of downtown Daejeon from Gyejoksanseong Fortress, which was built during the time of the Three Kingdoms. The trail helps restore the health of the body and soul and gives visitors a therapeutic and unique experience.
This 14-kilometer long trail is situated at an altitude between 200 meters and 300 meters above sea level. In autumn, the mountain is bustling with bikers who come to enjoy the splendid landscape of Mount Gyejok. Every year the Eco-Healing Sunyang Masai Marathon, which requires participants to forgo shoes and traverse soft red clay trail, is held at Mount Gyejoksan in Daejeon, drawing a total of 5,000 participants including 600 foreigners from 40 countries. The marathon has established itself as a major festival of Daejeon and is held every year in May.

text: Bausch & Lomb Tessar 1c's (I think that's the number) are not terribly expensive, quite common (although perhaps not in that focal length), and will give you that narrow depth of field (I think they're an f4.5). Downside is that your 11x14 better have concrete in the front standard. They're massive.

Since El Caballo Blanco can be accessed only by walking along the beach, there isn't much standing in the way of you and the ocean. This stark-white property—the tallest in Mahahual—also offers spectacular rooftop views. In addition to a queen bed and a futon (which allows them to comfortably sleep four), all of the rooms here have a hand-painted mural, air-conditioning, Sky TV, and a mini bar; the four rooms facing the water have balconies. This is the only hotel in town with strong water pressure, a rooftop pool, and a diner on the ground floor. Snorkel gear and kayaks are available on request.

US to eliminate landminesComment on this story
Washington - The United States on Friday signaled its intent to eliminate its stockpile of anti-personnel landmines and to eventually join a global treaty banning their use, boosting efforts to rid the world of the weapons.
The high-profile announcement was made at a conference in Maputo, Mozambique, which was aimed at ultimately ensuring no armed forces use anti-personnel mines (APLs) by 2025.

Comedy Nite raises laughs, funds for Soroptimist
By: Jenna Nielsen, Journal Staff Writer
Bellowing laughs and non-stop chuckles filled the event center at The Ridge Saturday night during Soroptimist's annual Comedy Nite. I think it went great, said Jeanette Yetka, Soroptimist International of Auburn member and ticket sales chairwoman for the comedy night. It was probably our best turnout yet. This year's night of laughter featured America's funniest grandma Mrs. Hughes (Carol Hughes) and stand-up comedian Beth Schumann. Yetka said she estimated that more than 350 people attended the fundraiser, some coming from as far as Milpitas, Santa Rosa and San Francisco. There was a lot of buzz from people outside of the area, Yetka said. People have heard of Mrs. Hughes. They heard she was going to be here and wanted to see her. Hughes began performing comedy at the age of 40. Her hour-long act touched on issues including parenting, hot flashes and husbands. I've been married a long time " so long my oldest daughter is my age, Hughes said to a roaring audience. I didn't mean to be married this long, I stayed around the last 10 years just to piss him off. Schumann, who opened for Hughes, touched on high-stress jobs, divorce, weight gain and medication. I filled up my gas tank today, Schumann said after talking about her 1987 Chevrolet that she said has almost 300,000 miles on it. I tripled my Blue Book value. Auburn resident Nancy Miller attended the show with her husband, Tarry Miller. Tonight is my birthday so my friends surprised me and brought me, Miller said. It has been a lot of fun. We love to laugh and tonight it is for a good cause. The Millers said they were excited to see a comedy show in Auburn. It's nice to find something new to do in Auburn, Tarry Miller said. I'm really glad they host something like this. The show was preceded by door prizes, a silent auction and a live auction. Auction items and door prizes included a Thomas Kinkade painting, wine tasting for 10 at Vina Castellano winery in Auburn, golf packages, a $400 gift certificate to Monkey Cat and multiple bottles of Naggiar wine. Yetka said the final numbers from Saturday night's auctions won't be available for several days, but that she is certain Soroptimist made a profit. It will be turned right back into the community, she said. Comedy Nite was sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank, Open Door Catering, Maki Heating & Air Conditioning, Harris Industrial Gases and Auburn Iron Works, Double Bar A Enterprises, Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital and Auburn Placer Disposal Service. All proceeds from the show go to Soroptimist's programs including scholarships and support for the Placer Women's Center and the Boys & Girls Club of Auburn.

On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'99.99% of antiques in the market are fake'
Moe Ali Nayel | 12 Jul 2013 14:52 GMT | Politics, Israel, Lebanon, Syria
Beirut, Lebanon - In a country riven by ethnic, religious, and political tensions since its founding, staying neutral in Lebanon can be a challenging feat.
Palestinian refugee camps here are isolated communities, alienated from their surroundings. In the collective memory of the refugees, the camps' history consists of nothing but sieges, destruction, and massacres. Life for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon means to be deprived of basic human rights, and discriminated against by political parties and government policies.
The support of the roughly 400,000 Palestinian refugees living in Lebanon has long been sought after - and exploited - by Lebanese groups seeking to further their own ends. But although Lebanon has become increasingly unstable and divided in recent months, the vast majority of Lebanon's Palestinians have remained neutral.
Throughout their 65 years of exile, Palestinian refugees have become champions of survival. For Palestinians in Lebanon, though, that does not just mean food and shelter, but also staying away from the toxic potion that is Lebanese politics.
Our aim is to prove that Palestinians living in Lebanon only want to live in safety, to receive humanitarian and social aid, and to continue our struggle through resistance until we fulfill our right of return.
Rafat Morra, Hamas member
Palestinians in Lebanon are struggling to secure their camps and stay out of the way of internal clashes in order to avoid being made scapegoats once again, as they were during the Lebanese civil war from 1975-1990, and in 2007 when Lebanese security forces shelled and besieged the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp near Tripoli.
Staying neutral
On a Friday afternoon in the narrow streets of Shatila, Adel al-Ali, 36, scrubbed pairs of used tennis shoes to be sold on the streets later. Adel looked up, dragged on his cigarette and smiled. "There isn't lower than this job. I just want to make a living in peace away from political money."
More than 70 fields of employment are closed by law to Palestinians living in Lebanon, and Palestinian refugees are also not allowed to own property.
Ali is not the only one struggling to steer clear of Lebanese politics. In his office in Harat-hreik, in a Hezbollah-dominated suburb of southern Beirut, Rafat Morra - who leads Hamas' relations with Lebanon - describes the "No for sedition" campaign he is directing.
"Our aim is to prove that Palestinians living in Lebanon only want to live in safety, to receive humanitarian and social aid, and to continue our struggle through resistance until we fulfill our right of return," he said. The campaign aims to stop the publication of inflammatory articles in the Lebanese media against Palestinians living in the country.
One major Lebanese newspaper ran a front-page headline alleging that missiles fired into southern Beirut originated from a Palestinian camp, while another accused Palestinians of sheltering 5,000 fighters from Hamas and 5,000 fighters from hardline Syrian rebel group Jabhat al-Nusra.
Angry at false accusations, the Hamas representative snapped, "This is disinformation, it's not freedom of expression anymore. This is sedition!"
"The tense regional situation, followed by rhetoric full of sectarianism and sedition, inspired us to start this campaign against organised attacks, which some Lebanese media outlets are directing at Palestinians in Lebanon," he said.
Palestinian groups across Lebanon have been shoring up their defences. Recently, rival factions in the Ain el-Helwi camp agreed to an unusual and much-needed act of unity, which kept their camp from being caught in the crossfire.
Abu Ahmad, a former Fatah security leader and a member of Ain al-Helwi's security committee, proudly detailed ongoing cooperation with Lebanese authorities against two non-Palestinian Islamist groups fighting in support of Salafi Sheikh Assir against the Lebanese army.
"We are coordinating with the Lebanese army to control Jund al-Sham and Fatah al-Islam," Abu Ahmad said. "There is an agreement between the political factions in the camp to not turn the camp into an arena for Lebanese political parties to settle their differences".
Morra said Lebanese political groups want to pull Palestinians to their side to confront rivals.
"For example, I completely reject our people in Shatila shooting from one side at the Sunni Future party, or shooting from the other side at the Shia Hezbollah Party. Shatila camp falls on fault lines between Sunnis and Shia," said Morra.
Hezbollah's involvement
Recent revelations of the Shia militia Hezbollah's involvement in Syria have angered Lebanese Sunni supporters of the Syrian opposition, which is heavily Sunni. Syria's government, led by President Bashar al-Assad, draws many of its members from Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam, and is supported by Hezbollah.
The news of Hezbollah's role was followed by sectarian clashes across Lebanon. Fighting intensified in Tripoli, home to the Bedawi Palestinian refugee camp, which has historically struggled to stay out of sectarian fights in its surroundings. Fighting also reached the Beqaa Valley and the southern city of Sidon, which is home to the most populous camp in Lebanon, Ain el-Helwi.
Unlike those living around them, the more than 400,000 Palestinians in Lebanon's camps have proved largely immune to sectarian conflict. "Thank God we Palestinians don't have the sectarian epidemic," said Morra, the Hamas representative.
Near a maze of narrow alleys in the Borj Barajnehcamp in southern Beirut, Adnan sits on a ledge waiting for a job opportunity. Adnan, 23, works as a freelance plumber, and hasn't seen his home since he fled Yarmouk, a Palestinian refugee camp in Damascus, Syria six months ago. His shop there was destroyed by fighter jet shelling. He also lost the keys to his Palestinian home, given to him by his grandmother who fled to Lebanon in 1948.
When asked about Hezbollah's involvement in Syria, Adnan said: "You know, we don't see it as you Lebanese see it. To us Palestinians, Hezbollah is not merely a Shia party, but a successful example of resistance. If I, as a Palestinian, disagree with their involvement in Syria it is because I have no respect for an Arab regime that kills its own people with weapons that were never directed towards Israel."
Amid recent news of a fallout between Hamas and Hezbollah, a senior Hamas member, who asked not to be named for security reasons, said the situation remains the same.
"We are still based in the dahiya [Beirut's southern suburbs], and our relations and security coordination with Hezbollah hasn't changed in Lebanon. Only our opinions on Syria have varied, and that's normal."
He quickly changed the topic to the situation of the Palestinian camps. "There are some in Lebanon with regional connections who are trying to settle their differences in the camps, using the camps as a scapegoat ... There are attempts by different parties in Lebanon to try to recruit Palestinians to be involved in their Lebanese political adventures."
Syrian war 'mistake'
Back in the dimness of Shatila, Adel has just finished washing a pair of used tennis shoes. "If we could forget the bruises and back-stabs by the Lebanese, life in Lebanon wouldn't be so bad," he said.
I know that some in the camps are agitated by the involvement, but they don't hate Hezbollah ... Until now, Palestinian refugees from Syria in the camps are still welcoming and receive donations and aid by Hezbollah.
Salah, freelance translator
Asked about Hezbollah's involvement in Syria, Adel added: "Hezbollah made a mistake involving itself in Syria's civil war. Hezbollah could've remained a resistance against Israel. We praise their victories in 2000 and 2006, but why go into Syria?"
To many Palestinians in Lebanon, Hezbollah is different from the rest of the country's political parties. Respected for its resistance against the Israelis, the party has remained largely respected by those living in the camps.
Salah, a freelance translator in his early 30s who lives in Beirut, gives an impression of being already packed and ready to return to Palestine.
"I know that some in the camps are agitated by the involvement, but they don't hate Hezbollah," he said. "They [Hezbollah] gave us [Palestinians] a lot. They gave us a few hundred prisoners. Until now, Palestinian refugees from Syria in the camps are still welcoming and receive donations and aid by Hezbollah."
Palestinian camps have their own security systems that police their camps. But during times of sectarian and political strife, opportunist Lebanese parties can often be seen like eagles circling their prey, looking to employ Palestinians to further their cause.
This is a troubling thought for Salah who shrugged and said: "I worry about the camps. They are surrounded by both Lebanese rivalries who are preparing for their next battle."

It is really home like place to stay with family.
We spent 4days & 3nights in Malina village.
+Very close to ski resort.
It taks only 10min to approach in ski resort by walk.
+Delicious breakfast buffet.
+Very romantic roof top bedroom.
Great hotel, great service! Very close to the ski center. We lived in very nice n big apartment with fireplace. There are very friendly staff. I would like to recommend this hotel to everyone.I would definitely come here again))
Stayed here over Xmas and we can't recommend Malina Village enough we had a great time.
We stayed in one of the beautiful wooden villas surrounded by stunning pine forest.
The villas are lovely clean and warm with Kitchen, shower large living room, TV with lots of channels and comfy bedrooms.
The buffet breakfeast at Malina is excellent great international...
The location of this place if you're interested in skiing is great, it's only a couple of minutes walk but it's about 20-25 minutes walk to get to the center of Pamporovo where all the restaurants, bars and shops are. (Taxis are normally super expensive if you don't speak the language and the hotel would charge us the exact same...
We have visited Pamporovo as a group of 7 (4 adults and 3 children).Malina Village was what we were looking for.The children absolutely adored this place.The houses,built in a pine tree forest, were very warm.A living room,a well equiped kitchen and a bathroom at the ground floor and two bedrooms at the first floor.Free parking,free wi-fi,friendly staff,very good breakfast,excellent and...
Feb 2014 - I booked one of these little chalets for the three of us - children 6 and 8 and myself - and it's perfect - basic but clean and tidy and much more exciting for the kids than a hotel room !! Reception could not be more helpful - the food in the on site restaurant is stunningly...
We stayed as a group of 5 in a chalet for a week. The chalet was basic but as we were there for skiing this was adequate. It was warm enough, had a simple bathroom with shower although the hot water tank could have been bigger. There was a large selection of food for breakfast. We only ate in the...
I love these cosy little houses! I've been in Pamporovo many times but this vacation is the best. Warm and enjoyable private house in a pine tree forest, friendly staff, free parking and close to the slopes.
Being novice skiers we judged Bulgaria to be the place to go, and moreover its incredibly cheap. Having only ever skiied in Austria before (never again !) we were impressed by the 'modern' facilities. The Malina Village was exactly what we were looking for. Our own 'log' cabin, the biggest bed i have ever seen and more than adequate facilities....
Pamporovo is a great place for a winter holiday. Everywhere is covered by snow, there are great skiing places, Bulgarian food and beers are great and moreover, everything is very cheap.
We have stayed in Malina Chalets in Pamporovo 2 years in a row for 4 nights each. We were 2 couples. We found this Malina Chalets on internet and...

The Michigan Wolverines men's gymnastics team represents the University of Michigan and competes in the Big Ten Conference. The Wolverines have won seven NCAA championships, 16 Big Ten championships and have been invited to 31 NCAA tournaments. Since 1999, Michigan has finished in the Super Six at the NCAA tournament in 11 of 12 seasons. In 2013, Michigan won its 5th NCAA men's gymnastics team championship. The following year, Michigan repeated as National Champions for its 6th NCAA men's gymnastics team championship.
The Michigan Wolverines men's gymnastics team has had four coaches in 65 years of competition: Wilbur West (1931–1933); Newt Loken (1948–1983); Bob Darden (1984–1996); and Kurt Golder (1997–present).
West era (1931–1933)[edit]
Wilbur West was Michigan's first men's gymnastics coach. In three years under West, the team compiled a record of 1-10. After the 1933 season, the gymnastics program was discontinued and was not resumed until 1948.[1]
Loken era (1948–1983)[edit]
Newt Loken came to the University of Michigan in 1944 as a master's degree student. On the side, he coached the cheerleading team.[2] At the time of Loken's arrival, Michigan did not have a men's gymnastics program.[2] In 1947, the athletic board awarded varsity status to men's gymnastics, and Loken was named the head coach.[2]
Loken remained the coach of Michigan's men's gymnastics team for 36 years and compiled a record of 250-72-1. His teams won NCAA men's gymnastics championships in 1963 and 1970 and 12 Big Ten championships. Loken coached 71 Big Ten individual event winners and 21 NCAA individual event winners.[3][4]
In 1963, the Wolverines compiled a 6-0 in the regular season and won the Big Ten championship with 210.50 points. They went on to win the NCAA championship with a score of 129 points.[5] The 1963 team also won six NCAA individual championships.[1]
In 1970, the team compiled a perfect 12-0 record and won its second team championship with 164.150 points in the NCAA tournament.[1]
Loken also coached the cheerleading team at Michigan as well as the varsity sport of trampoline. From 1947 through 1964, trampoline was included as an event in gymnastics competitions by both the AAU and NCAA. The first trampoline world championships were held in 1964. Loken led the Michigan trampoline team to NCAA championships in 1969 and 1970.[6] Loken produced more trampoline champions and world medal winners than any other collegiate coach.[7]
As of 2007, the 88-year-old Loken was still a regular at Michigan's men's gymnastics practices and events, and it was reported that he had not missed a Michigan home meet from 1948 to 2007.[2] Assistant coach Scott Vetere said: "He knows everybody on the team, and if he forgets, he's 80-some years old, and he'll ask again. He's just a pure gymnastics guy - always wants to be around gymnastics, always wants to learn more, (always) wants to praise guys for what a wonderful job they're doing."[2]
Darden era (1984–1996)[edit]
Bob Darden (1984–1996) was head coach for 13 seasons. During Darden's tenure as head coach, the Wolverines compiled a record of 76-111-1 and had no Big Ten championships or NCAA tournament berths.[1]
Golder era (1997–present)[edit]
Kurt Golder took over as Michigan's head coach in 1997. After Michigan finished the 1996 season with an 0-11 record, Golder quickly turned the program around. In 14 seasons from 1997–2010, Golder has led the Wolverines to a record of 246-166-1, four Big Ten championships, 10 NCAA tournament berths and two NCAA national championships. Since 1999, Golder's teams have finished in the Super Six at the NCAA tournament in 10 of 11 years.[1][8][9]
In 1999, Kurt Golder led the Wolverines to a 19-5 record in the regular season. The 1999 team went on to win the school's third team gymnastics championship with season-best 232.55 points in the NCAA tournament.[1][10] The runner up was Ohio State, which finished with 230.85 points.[10] Justin Toman was Michigan's leader at the 1999 tournament with a score of 58.075.[10] The NCAA championship came just three years after a winless season in 1996. Golder was credited with taking over the program and building it into "a national powerhouse."[10] Upon winning the 1999 NCAA championship, Golder told the press, "The plan was to get here in the fourth year and be in contention in the fifth year. We got lucky and got some great recruits. Everything fell into place."[10]
The 2009 Wolverines finished #2 as the runner-up at the NCAA tournament.[1] Michigan gymnast Thomas Kelley was named Big Ten Gymnast of the Year in 2009.[11]
The 2010 Wolverines won the NCAA men's gymnastics national championship, defeating the second place team from Stanford University by 0.7 points. Michigan gymnast Chris Cameron also won the all-around title with 90.500 points, including 15.450 on the rings and vaulting, 15.150 on parallel bars, 15.050 on pommel horse, and 13.800 on the horizontal bar.[12]
The 2011 Wolverines finished second in the Big Ten and fifth at the NCAA men's gymnastics championship. The highlight of this season was freshman Sam Mikulak who won both the Big Ten and NCAA all-around titles. Sam was the first freshman in NCAA history to win the all-around title.
The 2013 Wolverines won their 16th Big Ten Championship behind an NCAA record-setting 15.95 performance on parallel bars from junior Sam Mikulak and a 1-2 all-around competition finish from Mikulak and sophomore Adrian de los Angeles.[13] On April 20, 2013, behind Sam Mikulak's second career NCAA all-around crown and a runner-up performance from Adrian de los Angeles, the team claimed the program's fifth national title.[14]
The 2014 Wolverines captured their 17th Big Ten Championship to become the first back-to-back conference champions since the 1999-2000 team. Senior Sam Mikulak broke two NCAA records with a 93.70 all around score and a 16.1 parallel bar score.[15] Twenty of the thirty competed routines qualified into the individual event finals the following day, a record breaking number. Gymnasts that qualified included: Syque Caesar (vault, parallel bars, high bar), Sam Mikulak (all six events), Paul Rizkalla Jr. (vault), Tristian Perez-Rivera (vault, floor), Konner Ackerman (vault), Jordan Gaarenstroom (parallel bars, still rings), Nicholas Hunter (parallel bars, pommel horse), Colin Mahar (still rings), Alex Bubnov (still rings), Nolan Novak (pommel horse) and Matt Freeman (pommel horse). Freshman Tristian Perez-Rivera and Junior Paul Rizkalla Jr. placed second on floor and vault respectively while senior Sam Mikulak and sixth year senior Syque Caesar tied for third place on parallel bars.[16]
NCAA individual event champions[edit]
Michigan has had 18 gymnasts who have won NCAA individual championships.[5]
National Team Members[edit]
Michigan has had 18 gymnasts who have been a part of the USA National Team.[17]

When prohibit feature is used in a module, the specification states that the implementation must behave as if that feature is not enabled in that module.
However, not all aspects of optional features are scoped to a module, and this creates difficulties if a feature is enabled in one module but disabled in another. For example, the schema-aware feature "permits an XDM to contain types other than xs:untyped and xs:untypedAtomic", and it makes no sense to allow this in one module and not in others. Similar problems apply to the serialization feature.
Although it's plausible to allow fn:serialize to be called in one module, but not to be available in another module, I would hope that there is no expectation that fn:lookup("fn:serialize") succeeds in one case and fails in the other - that's too much of a burden for implementations to justify any value.
I would like to agree the principle that prohibit-feature is only required to disable things that can be detected statically.
We agreed to resolve this as follows.
General principle:
(1) do not change anything to the optional feature section (2)
require-feature raises an error if the product does not support it
(unchanged) (3) prohibit-feature raises an error if it can be detected
statically that the feature is actually used by the module (validate,
module import, dynamic function call, ...). (4) you cannot prohibit
static typing or serialization.
Schema Aware Feature:
allows/prohibits schema import and validate, nothing more or less. Different modules may enable/disable this feature in a given query
Static Typing Feature:
Fine as written.
Module Feature:
Only allowed in a main module.
Serialization Feature:
Require/prohibit is not supported, there is no name for this feature. But it is an optional feature, and support for it is implementation-defined.
Higher Order Functions:
No change

HPRC Blog
Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC Fitness Arena: Mind Tactics
Making it into a Special Operations Force (SOF) is challenging, to say the least; it requires intense physical and mental stamina. A keynote presentation at the 2013 Association for Applied Sport Psychology Conference highlighted what it takes to be an SOF "Tactical Athlete." It focused on the ability to "embrace the 'suck'" (grueling experiences) and remain alert during periods of extreme discomfort—hot, cold, wet, or dry—along with heavy gear, noise, and fatigue.
Unlike most athletes, there is no "season," so SOFs are required to always be on. This means intense training is part of the SOF experience—a selection process where "survival of the fittest" is the rule. Some of the physical characteristics that can help a person withstand the training are endurance, strength, coordination, and flexibility. Those selected to be SOF personnel also tend to possess the following mental characteristics:
- Above-average IQ: Most are brighter than most other people, and those of average intelligence optimize what they have.
- Complex reasoning: They can grasp and reason through abstract concepts.
- Tolerance of ambiguity: SOFs accept when they are not in control and do their best under those circumstances.
- Situational awareness: They can usually remain aware of their surroundings while tuning into what is most relevant.
- Good decision-making: They have good judgment, even in uncomfortable conditions.
- Mental flexibility: SOFs are able to adapt rather than get stuck on certain beliefs.
And in terms of personality, SOFs generally are:
- Emotionally stable: They do not usually experience extreme highs or lows.
- Stress-tolerant: SOFs accept and cope with stress rather than try to escape it.
- In control of their behavior: They act in accordance with their values, keeping their creed in mind.
- Self-confident: They are not consumed with self-doubt or rigidly confined by other people's rules but possess their own strong moral compass.
- In control of aggression: SOFs are able to use their aggression in a targeted manner.
- Self-reliant: While they can work well with a team, they are also highly independent.
- Motivated: SOFs tend to have a very strong work ethic.
Finally, success with SOF training begins in part with an attitude. Anyone who yearns to be an SOF must above all cultivate an ability to turn attention outwards amidst "the suck." Grueling conditions become a cue to remember that your comrades are also hurting and that each of you depends on the others to work hard. Taken together, SOFs embrace their membership in this elite group as an identity.
For more information on mental resilience —or what it takes to overcome adversity and grow stronger—check out HPRC's Mental Resilience section.
When you find yourself in an argument with a loved one, it's important to be able to move on afterwards without being burdened by negative feelings. But sometimes the negativity can hang on after the argument itself is over, and can make interacting with the other person difficult. It's important to work out those negative feelings so that they don't fester and wreak more havoc in your relationships.
Here's how: When you find yourself in the middle of an argument, take a time-out before you become too worked up. It's easier to shake off negativity at this stage. Stay levelheaded enough to stop the argument, walk away, focus on something else, and make yourself focus on positive thoughts about yourself, something else, or your loved one. While you are doing this, also engage in some stress-management techniques such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation; you can learn about them in the Mind-Body Skills section of HPRC's website. By refocusing your thoughts and letting go of stress in your body, you're more likely to feel calmer, slow your heart rate, and be less reactive to the other person. Once you're calmer, you'll probably find it easier to interact more positively with the other person and do or say things that can enhance your relationship.
For more ideas on strengthening your relationships, check out HPRC's Relationship Enhancement section or this article on "Basic Training for Couples Communication." And for more information on handling stress, check out HPRC's Stress Management section.
There is a structured technique to setting goals called "SMART." It stands for "Specific, Measurable, Action-oriented, Relevant, and Time-sensitive." Using the SMART technique can help you to jump in to a goal now, fuel your motivation, and help you follow through. Check out HPRC's Answer "Set SMART goals" to learn how you can put this method to work for you.
HPRC's Performance Strategies "For single Warfighters coming home" gives you helpful tips for returning home after deployment if you are single. It highlights suggestions that manage your expectations (as well as those of your family and friends), as well as ideas for easing back into "normal" life, establishing an at-home schedule, increasing your support system, and other important aspects to consider.
The state in which athletes perform at their best is often referred to as "the zone," but researchers refer to it as "flow." This experience of being completely immersed in an activity involves:
- Clear goals and immediate understanding of whether actions are helping or hurting progress towards goals.
- Intense and focused concentration on the present moment.
- Merging of action and awareness.
- Absence of self-consciousness and anxiety.
- Time seems distorted (slow in the moment and fast retrospectively).
- Targeting of your attention where it is most needed.
- Challenges or opportunities feel like a stretch but still match your skill level.
- Feeling in control and prepared to face whatever happens next.
You can experience flow in myriad ways, whether you're engaged in combat, playing competitive sports, or raising children. Flow can't be forced, but you can set the stage for it by learning good stress management and practicing key skills through repetition.
For more information you can use to help you get in the zone, check out HPRC's Stress Management and Mind-Body Skills sections.
Compression garments are becoming more and more popular in the sports world. Back in 2001, NBA All-Star Allen Iverson began wearing a sleeve on his arm to help with bursitis in his elbow, helping to increase blood circulation and reduce swelling in his arm. Similar sleeves are used for clinical conditions such as lymphedema, where blood circulation is poor, or to prevent blood clots.
You can find compression garments as sleeves, socks, shorts, or even full-body suits. There are various levels of compression for garments, but they all have gradient pressure, which means they're a little tighter at the bottom of the garment and a little looser at the top to help push blood toward your heart and prevent blood from 'pooling' or remaining in the compressed areas. Most garments need simple measurements around your arms or legs to make sure you have the correct size.
But can these garments also impact your performance and recovery? It's been found that compression garments do actually help with blood flow and increase oxygen to working muscles. But whether that translates into improved performance is another question altogether.
Most performance-related studies have looked at the effects of compression sleeves or socks on running. Some participants said they didn't feel they were working as hard when wearing compression garments on their legs. While the relationship between compression garments and performance is still not clear, some researchers have suggested that this psychological benefit of lower perceived exertion might help athletes train at higher intensity. However, more research is needed to show if this ultimately leads to actual performance improvements.
In terms of recovery, more research is needed too. The effects of compression garments on muscle soreness after exercise have been mixed, but there have been no studies on the use of compression socks or sleeves for shin splints and other leg pain. They are sometimes effective at reducing the muscle soreness that occurs 24-48 hours after exercise. Relief of symptoms from wearing these garments varies from person to person, sometimes with no benefit. And it isn't clear whether wearing these garments during recovery will improve your performance next time.
That "slow to wake up" feeling of grogginess in the morning has a name: sleep inertia. HPRC asked a sleep expert whether sleep inertia is a real threat to performance, and the answer may surprise you: While sleep inertia is a real phenomenon, the threat it poses to performance has never been seriously studied but probably isn't as bad as you might think.
However, sleep inertia can be a serious issue when cognitive performance—such as problem solving and decision making—is called for immediately on waking. For example, physicians who are awakened by calls from nursing staff have been known to make serious errors. For most situations, though, it's better to sleep (and pay down any "sleep debt") rather than stay awake with the intent of being alert just in case you'll be called on, our expert concluded.
If your head does need to be in the game quickly after awakening, call on some caffeine to help; it can give you the boost you need to get out of your sleep inertia. Popping in some caffeine gum when you wake up (but only when essential) can produce near-normal cognitive performance within about five minutes.
For more information about sleep, check out HPRC's Sleep Optimization section. And to learn more about caffeine chewing gum, check out HPRC's article on caffeine chewing gum and performance.
September is Suicide Prevention Month — a good time to review how you can possibly help someone in need. Rule number one: Trust your instincts. If you're worried about someone in particular, don't ignore it—talk to that person about the concern you feel for him or her. Don't know how? Be an ACE: "Ask, Care, Escort."
Ask. If you're concerned, ask directly and without judgment, "Are you thinking of killing yourself?" If he or she responds "yes," determine if he or she has a plan by asking, "Have you thought about ways that you might hurt yourself?" (Note: The more specific the plan, the greater the risk).
Care. Next, care for your friend by staying with him or her, actively listening, staying calm, and removing anything he or she could use to hurt him/herself. Don't leave your friend alone.
Escort. Tell someone immediately. Take your friend to someone who is trained to help, such as a primary care provider, chaplain, or health professional, and call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or 911 for additional support.
To learn more about suicide prevention, check out AfterDeployment's guide. For more information about suicide prevention, check out this Mind Tactics section on HPRC's website.
The recently released report from the Department of Defense, "Supporting Military Families In Crisis," offers information for families about what to do in a crisis as well as how to prevent crises. The guide focuses on suicide prevention, following the Total Force Fitness perspective, but the information applies to many other areas of military family life, especially the section titled "Building a Resilient Family." HPRC can help your family with many of their suggestions:
- Keep your mind fit: Check out HPRC's Mind Tactics domain for how to go about it.
- Build resilience through coping skills and other strategies: Find information on building resilience in the Mental Resilience section of Mind Tactics.
- Foster a sense of belonging: Try the resources in the Relationship Enhancement and Family Resilience sections of HPRC's Family & Relationships domain.
- Train year-round: Find ideas for getting the most out of your workouts from the Performance Strategies in HPRC's Physical Fitness domain.
- Be aware of your world: Learn specific strategies for coping with extreme environments—heat, cold, high altitude, and more—in HPRC's Environment domain.
- Eat your way healthy: Learn how to fuel your body for optimal performance with HPRC's Nutrition domain.
And to learn how to bring all these aspects together for individual and family resilience in the face of any crisis, spend some time cruising HPRC's Total Force Fitness domain.
The Department of Defense has dedicated September to building awareness around suicide prevention. DoD has kicked off the campaign with a new Crisis Support Guide for Military Families—"Supporting Military Families in Crisis: A Guide to Help You Prevent Suicide"—that addresses suicide prevention, including warning signs, risk factors, and what to do in an emergency. Although the focus is on what families can do to help Warfighters at risk, there is advice for individuals too. Highlights include things you can do to take action: offering support, promoting a healthy lifestyle (caring for yourself, too!), and different treatment approaches that could help.
For more resources, go to HPRC's section on suicide prevention.
