So when it comes to reselling...
So when it comes to reselling...
I wonder if that will be an issue as long as the car is under the battery warranty period? I also am curious...at what degradation level will Tesla replace the battery under warranty? 10%, 20%, 30%? Or only on complete failure?
Less than 70% of original charge remaining and they will replace.
I would imagine that before selling a Tesla you would need to advertise using maximum standard charge and range charge numbers.
So if you have a 3 year old Model S you could say:
Maximum Standard Charge - 227 miles
Maximum Range Charge - 257 miles
Oddly it's really an arbitrary number but there really isn't another way to compare all vehicles since they're all driven differently and their batteries become less efficient differently.
I would imagine you would actually measure the Kilowatt hours that the Tesla will take in when charging, instead of relying on the miles algorithm. If the Model S is down to 90% battery capacity, then it would only take 77kwh for a "full" battery...
I think you are right we need a reliable measure of battery health. I'm not convinced the rated range reading at max charge is a particularly good indicator of battery health. Perhaps Tesls will introduce a battery health indicator in a future software release. Or perhaps testing shops will appear who will measure and certify energy delivered from a full charge to empty.
Over 8 or 10 yrs, my guess is 30%, because the engineers privately only expect about 10%!
I think for many Model S owners unless other manufacturers jump on the bang wagon and start making 100% electric cars, they would choose to trade it in for another Tesla.
Ultimately, I think used EVs are going to be sold like airplanes -- ie, the age isn't the important part, but rather how many hours of operation and what maintenance has been done. I don't know that we have the information that you need to properly determine the state of the battery, but once Tesla starts offering battery swaps and upgrading your battery, they are going to have to have a way to determine the battery "score" so they can charge your for the delta.
Bang wagon... Hehe ;-) (Sorry, couldn't help it. Very funny.)
@TommyBoy Did you find that in writing anywhere? (70% figure). I've asked my inside sales rep about this before and she said flat out that Tesla makes NO claim as to capacity retention guarantee over the warranty period.
I agree to a point but planes hold value better due to the lack of new production. I think Tesla is going to pump these puppies out which may depress the secondary market a small amount. On the other hand, every time they have raised the retail they have increased the value of my used car. I could not have sold the P85 and gotten the + for what I did without those price increases :)
I would assume that Tesla will make new innovations in batteries available to current owners at a price.
So rather than buy a new Tesla and sell your old one, just trade in your old battery for a new one giving your car less weight, more range and better performance.
They can afford to sell the car frame and electronics at cost and make all their money on battery upgrades / replacements.
Sort of like Gillette.
If I could do that, I would tend to hold on to my 2013 for as long as it looked as nice as it does now.
This would impact supply and demand for the used cars in a most beneficial way as it would limit supply and support higher prices for the newer and older models.....
Just speculation on my part but it fits Elon's concept for getting a mass market for his cars.
It's really the same thing, just expressed in miles rather than kWh.
@BrianH - The question is does the current charge capacity of the battery encode all the history of its aging, or could two batteries with the same current capacity have different later capacity slopes because of how they were used earlier.
Currently, the best indicator for the state of the battery would be 'ideal range' rather than 'rated range'. There have been many threads questioning the meaning of 'rated range' and whether or not it may be impacted by driving style (eg see posts by Tikiman). While this remains a controversy, 'ideal range' is most certainly not impacted by driving style and therefore should be the best gauge of battery health over time. Of course, tesla providing us with a direct measure of kwh capacity would be much better.
@unclegeek I checked the limited guarantee document that Tesla put on the MyTesla page. No percentage is mentioned. I'm in Europe and thought there may be a difference between the States vs Europe. It is probably at the discretion of Tesla but I have not asked a DS yet.
What present-time diagnostic could reveal that?
The battery pack seems to have a build in meter for battery quality. Tesla is able to read this, so when you want to sell the car you go to the dealer and ask him for a printout.
If Tesla starts offering battery swap at the Tesla Stations (Superchargers), doesn't this become a moot point? You'll be able to swap out your battery for ~$60 (about the price of a 15-gallon fill-up, according to Mr. Musk)
@stimeygee - I think you can switch from "Miles" to "kWH" for your battery capacity display ... I think it's in the Driving settings.
TM has documented a few facts we can currently verify.
(contact their legal department for documentation)
New batteries will cost $10k-$12k, for 60/85 kWh respectively.
New batteries will have a 1-year warranty.
An Extended Battery Warranty will be available.
Warranties range in length from one to three years
Costs range up to $7500 for the 3-year warranty
(I don't recall prices for the 1-year and 2-year warranties, but remember they're not cheap)
I wonder how many people will:
1. pay $10k-$12k for a new battery with only a 1-year warranty?
2. be willing to purchase an extended battery warranty at those prices?
My first battery was replaced after only three weeks. For me, the option to purchase a new $10k/$12k battery with such a short warranty will be a deal killer. I would want another 8-year/100k warranty.
I also don't think a 3-year extended battery warranty is a good value for $7500.
What do others think? Maybe it comes down to how much people love/want their cars when the current warranties expire?
the $60 is for the electricity only, and assumes you come back for your own battery. If you opt to keep the swap, you pay for the upgrade in capacity, if any. Nobuddy nose what that cost will be.
@BH That stinks.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Sitefinity and .NET C# development and I think I'm doing some things the wrong way.
I have a custom dynamic module, which has a custom Widget Template for its default Widget. This Widget Template has a codebehind file which looks like this:
ExtranetImagesThumbnails : System.Web.UI.UserControl
I'm filtering items according to some dropdowns by getting a filtered list of items and binding them to the RadListView controller with id "dynamicContentListView". One problem is that this RadListView is already filled in by the default widget controller, so I'm doing it twice.
The second problem is that I would like to keep any filters that might be already setup by the user in the widget parameters, but right now I'm losing them when I get the items based on the dropdowns values.
My question is: Which is the right approach? How can I avoid to load the items twice? How can I get the items before they are binded to the RadListView so I can filter them?
Thanks a lot!
<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="SitefinityWebApp.Custom.WidgetTemplates.ExtranetImages.ExtranetImagesThumbnails"%>
It was very helpful indeed, thank you!
I got it working the way I wanted thanks to this post too:

so this guy is in my class, I noticed him looking at me once or twice so I thought of striking up a conversation with him and I got his number but all with the excuse of academic related stuff he is more on the nerdy side and is very into his studies. anyway my problem is he never seems interested in texting he never texts first unless its academic related stuff and sometimes he wouldn't reply back although I found out he never received the messages. the reason why I thought he's into me is because he is such a gentleman to me and always there if I need help he's also always fidgety around me and he never makes eye contact with me like it hurts to look at me or something and once he wouldn't rehearse in front of me for this play thing he had and he told me he can't because he gets nervous around me..? but then at another time he tells me so yeah I am like your big brother etc.. and I am not sure if he was stating that I am like a sister to him or was he questioning if I see him as a brother? I dunoo I am really confused. I figured he's really shy and I was considering just moving on and letting go but then I change my mind and he would ask me to chill with him after class or somethin but usually I do all the moves I'd ask him to keep me company or come with me to this or that and he'd willingly join but he never makes a move. I need help understanding this guy? :(
Most Helpful Guy
You seem to understand him pretty well. Namely he is shy, he seems to like you but he won't ever make a first move so you'd have to do all the initiating if you wanted anything to happen.00|00|0
Would being kinda direct and forward scare a shy guy off?
- Show AllShow Less
"I am scared of the risk of getting rejected."
Yeah you and all the guys your age. So what? It doesn't automatically confer special privileges on you.
I say the same to you that I say to the guys - if you want something to happen, make it happen. If you don't, it won't.
QA: We're all scared of rejection. It's feels terrible. But if you're just going to sit there, twirling your thumbs and wait for this guy to make a move, most likely nothing is going to happen and you're going to be sitting there in regret, wondering 'what if?'. If you want something, you have to work for it. You can't always expect it to be handed to you.

Need input on Hi Point 9mm
I am researching to buy a Hi Point 9mm hand gun. I currently have a S&W 40 but it is really big. I want to get a gun for concealment. I have been reading reviews on line and over all most guys say they like the Hi Point gun for the price. I know they are a really cheap gun but I just need another for shooting around (9mm ammo cheaper than my 40) but I am a little bit leary about carrying this one because of a few bad reviews. Any of you own one of these guns and have problems?
These are about the worst handguns for concealed carry.
If you want something different, You can go the route of a sub-compact Glock, XD, Kahr Arms, or Kel-Tec.
The Hi-Points are only good for plinking and service as a "tackle box" gun.
Hi-points are not carry guns. You think your S&W is heavy....
If you are looking for a daily shooter in a Hi-Point, go with the .40 or .45. Still, not a comfortable carry piece, imo. There are guns out there that weigh half as much and are smaller. Just my opinion.
Still, none of them will only be $150.
You have got to be kidding, right? I hope all the people who ever decide to attack me use Hi-Points & Jennings & Brycos..JUNK. Hi Points are large enough to use for a small fishing skiff's anchor...
I would not recommend for a carry gun. Spend another 100 and get a kel-tec pf9
I think $150 is an awful lot of money for a door stop and its efficacy as a door stop is equal to its use as a PD gun. http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...ons/cowboy.gif
RBran, What kind of S&W do you own now? As you can see on this thread not a lot of Hi Point fans and that is for a reason. When these guys get hard on a pistol it's something to avoid. Lots of expereince here and for the most part good natured people. How much do you have to spend on your new pistol? Is it for plinking or carry? I expect with a little more information we can point you to a few pistols to check out.
Oh my personal opinion, I'd never own a hi point.
Here's a little review from youtube that will open your eyes. Near the end of the video clip, you'll see some evidence of a busted Hi-Point C9.
Now it's one thing to see a barrel that went kaboom. You can make argument about maybe the rounds were lead or overpowered or etc. This is a failure of the FRONT of the slide. The front of the slide completely busted off during firing. I do realize this is one pistol, but because the slide literally sheared in two pieces, this pistol is a no-go. The front of the slide does not experience high pressures like the barrel does.
After seeing this video, I think people are literally taking a chance (although it may still be small) every time they touch off a round in these Hi-Points. This is evidence that the Hi-Point is prone to suffer the same problems as the infamous "ring of fire" weapons.
If it happened once, it probably happened other times. It just wasn't reported to the masses.
It's funny. The Hi-Point owners out there wanted proof that this could happen to this weapon. The proof is here, but alot of people are now making excuses.
I used to like Hi-Points. I'll admit it. I thought they were the greatest little bargain out there. I have also learned that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. There is a reason that the pistol retails for about 150 bucks or so. Think about that. If a new firearm retails for about 150 dollars on average, that means the manufacturer probably built it for a cost of about 60 buck each (top end estimate). How much safety and quality can you really get into a weapon for 60 bucks?
Hi-Point is an official NO-GO in my book. Take the 150 dollars and get something like a PA-63, or a Makarov/Tokarev/CZ-52, or save a little and get a nice revolver.
Here's some pics that I found that are a little disturbing to me:
I have pretty much already kicked myself for ever owning a Hi-Point. I'm glad I got rid of them, and I will never get another one. I will not even accept one for free.
My personal opinion is that it would be like carrying a brick around all day. I have a friend who's a gun dealer, and he says they are VERY poorly made and tend to break a lot. He sells them, but he doesn't recommend them.

Counter Offers: The Reason That You Resigned Seldom Goes Away If You Stay.
I read a BusinessWeek article that discussed counter-offers. The point of the article is that once a person resigns from a company, he or she is better off continuing out the door. The reason is that once a person had shown disloyalty in resigning and that despite the best intentions of the managers who might try to convince the employee to stay, people who accept counter-offers and stay at the company have changed the way they are perceived at a company.
Other sources on the subject say the same thing: Forbes, The Business Journals, CareerCast, Monster, on and on.
The simple fact is that companies employ people at the convenience of the company. As soon as the company no reason to keep a person or finds a reason to let a person go, the person would be shown the door and people who are perceived as disloyal may find themselves at the head of the exit line.
In my first year of recruiting, I saw firsthand the problems people can encounter when accepting a counter offer. The candidate was working for a large consumer products company. In the counter offer he found himself in front of some very aggressive and persuasive sales managers. These managers were not going to let the salesperson leave the company.
The candidate was so stressed that he called me in tears at 2:00 AM during the counter offer process. He called me again the next day in tears. The sales managers had convinced him to stay.
Four or fives months later, the candidate called to say that the same company had fired him.
After accepting the counter offer, he continued to be unhappy at the company, and he continued to interview.
He had been at the airport interviewing and a fellow employee had seen him. However on his daily report, the candidate had indicated that he had been on a sales call.
The company was well within its' right to fire the guy for cause. He lied on his daily report. At the same time, the company had other less punitive options: a letter of reprimand, probation, or increased management presence. However, they chose this time to fire the salesperson. .
The poor guy had just been unfortunate to accept an offer that was too good to accept.

The man in the fuchsia shirt wants to tell a secret, and, no, it's not how he manages to pull off a fuchsia shirt. He is David Ortiz. Every color in the rainbow asks him to make it look good. The secret is about the 2013 Boston Red Sox's success. A year after they ended their worst season in almost half a century, they're back in the playoffs armed with the game's best offense, best record and best collection of beards.
"I'll tell you what it is," he says, and before he finishes his thought a dignitary from the Dominican Republic sidles up to show him an iPad video of his 30th home run. He looks at it and grins. "Don't be afraid to send that to Papi," he says. Ortiz runs into the wife of a coach who gets a smooch and the son who gets a pat on the head. He walks by Baltimore infielder Ryan Flaherty and says he looked good at third base, then gives dap to second baseman Brian Roberts, who is holding a newborn. "You take good care of that bambino," Ortiz says. Some stadium sanitation workers say hi and he says hi back. Language, race, class – "Don't matter," he says. "People is people."
If Big Papi knows anything, it is people. He is a magnet for them. He has been in Boston for 11 years now, through the 2004 and 2007 championships, the 2011 collapse and 2012 implosion. The franchise's all-time-beloved hierarchy goes something like this: Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, David Ortiz. He was the guy who took the microphone five days after the Boston Marathon bombing and declared: "This is our [expletive] city." He believes in the power of what people can do to one another and what they can do for one another.
[Related: Three keys to success for Sox in ALDS]
This year represents the latter, and last year – well, the bitterness of it still lingers on his palate. Ortiz understands how it happened. Not just the injuries or underachieving or mega-sell-off, but the conflicts that festered and metastasized and left the Red Sox a diseased mess.
"I think about it every day," Ortiz says. "Things [don't] change from worst to first. It doesn't happen like that."
Except it did. And finally, all by himself for a moment next to a loading dock underneath Camden Yards, he's free to tell the secret of the 2013 Red Sox. It wasn't people, he says. It was a person.
"Our manager, bro."
John Farrell, 51, is in his first year as the Boston Red Sox manager. He arrived after two seasons as manager in Toronto, where the Blue Jays went 154-170. There, nobody heralded him as a particularly great manager, nor, for that manner, a noticeably bad one. In the modern game, a good manager is almost an anachronism, the sort of title reserved for a select few.
Joe Maddon, 59, is in his eighth year as the Tampa Bay Rays manager. He is widely considered the best in baseball, a perfect blend of analytical acumen, intellectual curiosity, motivational know-how and empathetic humanity. He is the sort of manager who, in the late innings of a do-or-die game Wednesday night, had right-hander Joel Peralta on the mound ready to face right-handed hitter Ryan Raburn. Maddon called for left-hander Jake McGee. Raburn kills lefties. What he doesn't do is hit hard stuff, and because Maddon knew that, and respected his upper management's opinion on such things, he trusted that McGee would retire Raburn. He struck him out on a 99-mph fastball.
One series does not define a manager, of course, but the American League Division Series that pits the Red Sox against the Rays starting Friday at 3 p.m. ET is Farrell's first in the postseason. He was pitching coach and consigliere to Terry Francona when the Red Sox won in 2007, and the time he spent inside the Boston vise gave general manager Ben Cherington the sort of faith in Farrell necessary to bring him back and fix what went so awry last season.
"Straight up, I'm telling you. I watch everything," Ortiz says. "And I've been here a long time. The last guy was the wrong fit. This one – he give you confidence."
The last guy was Bobby Valentine. His tenure with the Red Sox was a sad trombone played on loop. His players hated him. And while some managers can turn that resentment into something – Tony La Russa was especially good at this – Valentine wasn't nearly as deft.
Cherington honed in on Farrell immediately. They worked together in the Cleveland organization when Farrell was farm director and in Boston during the second championship season. Their like-mindedness showed when they went about reshaping this team. Gone were the burdensome contracts of Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, replaced by the perfect sorts for Boston's plan: productive glue guys.
"After coming back here, there was a very candid and pointed conversation to restore the expectation, and that is winning," Farrell says. "In my mind, and in Ben's mind, winning is associated with Boston, regardless of the team but certainly with the Boston Red Sox. The deeper question was: How are we going to do it? And that's where there was a clear-cut vision of how we were going to get there. That's with the type of player Ben and I felt like would embrace this.
"It's certainly more Ben. He's to be credited with going out and getting the right guys that have fit in well, that have bought into this team concept, that have set aside any personal agendas. This is a group that has bought into that team concept. They love to play. They love to have fun. That game every night is what's most important to them."
It wasn't just Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino and Jonny Gomes and the rest of the new faces, though. While Cherington knew Farrell was the right hire, he says he was truly convinced at the end of spring training. Everything Farrell said he wanted to accomplish he had. Anybody around the Red Sox during the Valentine spring training could tell something was amiss. Those looks vanished this season.
"The players were still human," Cherington says. "You can run a military school and get everyone to do what you say for a while. But nobody's having fun and it peters out. Players were having fun. Even now, you go in our clubhouse in afternoons, there's a lot of happy faces. There's a freedom of expression alongside a lot of hard work. They win, and they grow beards. That balance is so important, and John fosters that.
"The wrong person can make a big difference. So can the right person."
The rock-star GM is far more prevalent today than the big-name manager, and there is good reason behind that: curating players wins championships. The Red Sox are the best bet to represent the American League in the World Series because Cherington spent the offseason complementing Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and the other leftover pieces whose collective resurgence prompted the 28-game swing in their record.
Still, it's worth asking: Have we gotten it all wrong about managers? The deification of front offices has seemingly been inversely proportionate to opinions about managers. Used to be the manager was the brains behind the operation. The portrait of manager Art Howe in "Moneyball" showed that front offices weren't beyond managerial emasculation. Only today, the Oakland A's are reaping, and fully appreciative of, the value of Bob Melvin, like Maddon an in- and out-of-game savant. Terry Francona and Joe Girardi similarly distinguished themselves and their teams in Cleveland and New York.
And then there is Farrell. Ortiz wants you to believe there is something intangible about him, and believing in intangibles is so difficult when baseball is overrun by tangible evidence that supports anything and everything. There is an argument, though, and a good one, and it is posited by someone in the front office that has stolen so much of the credit.
"The reason objective thinkers have said at times managers are only worth at the most X wins over the period of a year is because their focus is on game decisions," Cherington says. "From 7 to 10 every night, the manager makes decisions. Over the course of the season, those decisions can impact winning or losing some. Whatever that is, it's not a huge number.
"That's not factoring in all the other things. Every player on a team has a range of possible performance outcomes. Everyone has a high end, a low end and the most likely outcome in the middle. And if more players are performing toward the top half of that range, and the manager has something to do with that, the manager is absolutely valuable. It's still players first. You have to have talent to win. But I dismiss that a manager can't be more than his strategy."
Certainly those who don't buy into that will point to the objective, like the Red Sox scoring 853 runs when no other team cracked the 800-run barrier, or their major league-high on-base and slugging percentages, or their otherworldly 86.6 percent stolen-base success rate, or their Jon Lester-John Lackey-Clay Buchholz-Jake Peavy playoff rotation that stacks up well against Tampa Bay, Oakland and even Detroit. John Farrell has players. And players win ballgames.
[Related: David Price looks to continue success at Fenway]
This is true. Ultimately, a manager is only as good as whom his GM gives him. This offseason, Cherington gave him a 37-year-old designated hitter with a bum Achilles. It wasn't getting much better as the games neared, either, and David Ortiz started fearing the worst. He wanted to play. He wanted to produce, to get rid of last season. He didn't want to let anyone down.
"I had a setback in spring training," Ortiz says. "And [Farrell] comes to me the minute he find out. 'Hey, no rush. I need you. But I need you long-term. So take your time, get ready and when you're good to go, we're rolling.' "
It seems like just a little thing, and it is. But those little things matter. When you're together with the same people for eight straight months, hoping you can make it to the ninth, it takes that motivation and empathy as much as it does the analytics and intellectualism. The Red Sox believe Farrell has all four, that he can be right there with Maddon and Melvin, Francona and Girardi, the best managers the league has to offer.
The secret's out, bro.

ORGANISERS of Reclaim the Night want to march down streets in the city instead of footpaths as participatory numbers swell following Jill Meagher's death.
Kate O'Brien, of the University of Sydney's Reclaim the Night organising committee, expected a record turnout for the protest against rape and sexual violence on Sunday, October 28.
''We've already got more than 800 people saying they will march on Facebook,'' Ms O'Brien said. ''That's unprecedented.''
She said the spontaneous reaction by more than 30,000 Melburnians on September 30, who walked down Sydney Road in Brunswick to mourn Ms Meagher, showed how deep the issue ran through society.
''Numbers usually swell when the issue of violence towards women rises in the public mind,'' she said.
''Our last big turnout was in 2006, when Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali compared woman to 'uncovered meat'.''
The Sydney protest will begin with a picnic in Hyde Park addressed by several speakers followed by a march through the city from 7pm.
Organisers have asked to march down Park, George and Market streets.
''This time we want to march on the street, not the footpath,'' Ms O'Brien said.
Police have yet to grant permission for the march.

I am making a topsy turvy with Maderia cake for Saturday. Trying to keep from being pressed for time I have some already cut and crumb coated. I'm going to be using fondant. Would it be best to go ahead and cover now or freeze until Friday and let come to room temp, then cover ? If I freeze will it make the cake dry out?
I have never made a Maderia cake before, so I'm not sure if it would dry out or not. Most cakes would dry out.
You can definitely freeze the cake without any trouble. In my opinion, freezing actually makes the cake more moist. If you decide to freeze it, you definitely have to let it come to room temperature before you cover it.
=o) Good luck!
Thanks Cylstrial,
I found the maderia recipe in a book of Debbie Brown's. If i'm not mistaken , it states that it can be baked and stay out as much as 2 weeks. This gives you a week to decorate and a week for it to be eaten. I tried it and I have to say it's very good in flavor. It's a pound cake consistency, which is good when stacking cakes.
I found a recipe for a chocolate one on line. Try this link

For women during that "time-of-the-month," the stomach cramps, food cravings, irritability, and fatigue associated with a monthly period can be a major lifestyle setback. Add a migraine to this mix, and you have a recipe for a day in bed. The good news is we have a better understanding of what causes menstrual migraines and what you can do to treat them.

What Causes Menstrual Migraines?

The majority of migraine sufferers are female, and of this group, about 20 to 30 percent have attacks triggered by the menstrual cycle, according to a 2010 article in Current Pain and Headache Reports. Researchers have found a strong connection between estrogen hormones and migraine headaches, which is why women tend to be more impacted by migraines than men.

Typically, higher estrogen levels will prevent migraine headaches, whereas lower estrogen levels will result in a migraine headache. Because a woman's estrogen levels are lowest when she is menstruating, its usually the time that migraine headaches are most likely to occur. It's also important to note that fluctuating estrogen levels can cause migraines. In addition, every woman reacts differently to hormones, so a woman may have hormone-related migraines, even when she does not have her period.

Migraines and Menopause

In addition to the menstrual cycle, there are other times in a woman's lifetime when her hormone levels change drastically, and can impact hormone-related migraines. Many women find that their migraines are greatly reduced or even disappear during pregnancy due to steady levels of estrogen. It's thought that this may "protect" the brain against migraines. A dip in estrogen levels after the birth of the baby can trigger migraines once again.

Perimenopause and menopause also impact hormone levels. During this time, the body's hormones levels tend to rise and drop dramatically, and this fluctuation can trigger migraine headaches. Many women notice their migraines disappear when they enter menopause and no longer get their period.

It's also important to note that some women take hormone therapy to treat symptoms of menopause —this can also result in an increase or decrease of migraine headaches, depending on how the woman's body responds to the hormones taken.

How Can I Prevent a Menstrual Migraine?

Because menstrual migraines are caused by lower hormone levels, taking birth control pills that maintain the body's hormone levels may help ease a woman's menstrual migraines. Birth control pills that give a woman a menstrual period seasonally may reduce menstrual migraines by eliminating the woman's period and thus the associated migraines.

It's important to keep in mind that every woman's body responds to hormones differently, so a woman may need to try a few different birth control methods before finding one that reduces or eliminates her menstrual migraines. Some physicians advise using birth control with fewer placebo days, using estrogen birth control patches during the placebo week, or using progestin only birth control to prevent menstrual migraines.

Women can also take a preventive migraine medication a few days before her period and during the first few days of her period. Learning to recognize other migraine triggers, such as stress, lack of sleep, or irregular eating, can also help to prevent menstrual migraines.

How Is the Pain From Menstrual Migraines Treated?

Menstrual migraines are treated in the same way as typical migraines. This includes using a pain reliever, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Your doctor may prescribe you a migraine medicine if over the counter pain relievers are not effective, like a triptan. Other care methods that may work to relieve the pain include massage, application of ice, and resting in a dark, quiet room. Consult with a neurologist for treatment methods that might work best for you.

Sharing the formAsked by Lindsay8855 on June 19, 2013 at 01:04 PM
I have questions about sharing the form. We want to do a contest where our clients submit pictures. When I found out about JotForm I was so excited since you guys support file uploads!! I have created the form and we might put it on our website, but what I really want to be able to do is send out a URL (maybe a tiny URL) and a QR code. We are sending out a mailer to our clients this summer. Under the source option thing, I picked email and had it sent to myself so that I got a URL. My question is - Can I print that URL on our mailer? Can I convert it to a tinyurl? And make a QR code for it and print that as well? Is that URL specific to whoever I email it to or can it be used again and again?
As you can probably tell, I am not a webmaster and I don't know about all of this stuff. Thanks so much!!
You can send form URL to your users in your mailers. Form URL will remain same for all user and doesn't have to change.
I have not understood your QR code requirement. Please explain what you want to achieve with this quick response codes?
I just want to use the QR code so that they don't have to type in the URL. They can just scan the code and go directly to the form.
Okay understood. I dont see any issue in converting your form URL to QR code and share that.
Hope this helps.
You are welcome.

The Bronx Journal television show is an innovative and exiting way to stay in touch with local, national and international issues.
Hosted by Miguel Pérez, this show is done is conjunction with BronxNet and the journalism department in Lehman College. Pérez is also a journalism professor at Lehman College of the City University of New York (CUNY), in the Bronx, where he serves as the editor-in-chief of The Bronx Journal, a student/community newspaper, and as host of The Bronx Journal TV show, which airs on Bronxnet TV.
Born in Havana 57 years ago, Pérez came to the United States as a refugee at the age of 11 in 1962. He didn't speak a word of English. But he went on to become sports editor of his high school newspaper, editor of two college papers, a reporter for The Tampa Times and The Miami Herald, and a staff columnist for the New York Daily News and The Record of Hackensack, N.J.,
BRONXNET is the private, not-for-profit community television station serving the borough of the Bronx. The Station was established in 1988, under an agreement between the City of New York and Cablevision of New York City. BRONXNET programs four channels-67, 68, 69, and 70-on the Cablevision system in the Bronx. Each channel presents a unique brand of programming: Channel 67 focuses on public affairs programs produced by the station. 67's programs keep viewers up-to-date on local issues and face-to-face with the borough's representatives. Channel 68 features arts and entertainment programs including many that spotlight local artists. Channel 69 includes a host of foreign language programs of special interest to the various nationalities that make up the borough. Channel 70 is largely dedicated to informational programs produced by local organizations as well as inspirational programs produced by local churches.
BRONXNET is conveniently located on the campus of Lehman College. The station's main studio is a fully equipped, three-camera studio, complete with professional Betacam-SP recording capability. Field equipment includes professional hi-8 and digital cameras and editing is available on three professional formats.

The introduction for "Friends" was as iconic as the program itself. Even kids who are graduating college today recognize the popular 90′s sitcom and appreciate its awesomeness.
In order to give a special touch to graduation celebrations, a group of 'friends' from Elon University decided to recreate the sitcom's introduction to cherish their friendship forever. Sounds great, right?
According to some sources, the students did such a great job, Allee Willis, the author of the song I'll Be There For You, even contacted David Gwynn to let him know that a great job he and his buddies did on the recreation. He posted on the YouTube video, "I wrote I'll Be There For You. Excellent job!"
Also, the video has gone viral, has received over 125,000 hits! Cool, isn't it?
You can watch it in the video above.

A Framework to Analyze the Impact of Exchange Rate: Uncertainty on Output Decisions
Southern Cone economies exhibit a high record of exchange rate volatility. In this context, rms tend to contract dollar debt, irrespective of their trade orientation, and without available hedging instruments. This exposes them to bankruptcy risk, in the event of large exchange rate movements. This paper provides a framework to analyze the output e ect of exchange rate uncertainty in that context, by focusing on the channel uncertainty-output that operates through the nancial strategy of the rm. We nd that increases in exchange rate uncertainty increase the probability of bankruptcy, thus increasing expected marginal bankruptcy costs, and reducing optimal output of a risk-neutral rm. Furthermore, we nd that rms with higher than average liquidity balances will face lower marginal bankruptcy costs, thus producing more than the average rm. The model displays persistence, as any shock to current pro ts a ects future liquidity balances, and so, future output. This framework can easily be extended to explain the response of other rms' decisions to exchange rate uncertainty, such as investment.

Recreate Matrix table inside of my formAsked by holycrosslutheranMF on June 08, 2015 at 12:27 PM
I have converted my forms from FormsCentral, but when I export the survey data to Excel, a heading gets embedded in the questions. This does not work for me. I have tried to re-create my form using JotForm tools, but cannot figure out how to do it. The creation tools are not very intuitive and are very inflexible. I need a 6-answer radio button matrix type form that is 7 pages in length. It does not appear I can create this.
I have also tried modifying the form that was converted from FromsCentral but it appears this form cannot be modified.
There are 5 other churches in my area that use FormsCentral and we all have the same form.
JotForm Support
Situation that you are mentioning is normal, because every row in you matrix is representing one option that can be selected and header will be always shown inside of your reports.
Possible workaround is to remove your header and leave it blank and add that removed header text inside of Hover Text.
That way you would not have header text inside of your Excel report.
Matrix table is located inside of Survey Tools inside of your Form builder. And you can change matrix table settings when you open Properties.
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

**First of all let me clarify: I will NEVER actually rob a bank. I don't intend to and I will never EVER DO IT. These are just fantasies. I want to know if they're normal.**
I often plan elaborate bank heists in my mind. I think of everything and I mean EVERYTHING; starting from the vehicles I would use, what everyone's role would be, how I would time everything. I mentally 'study' the location and the layout of the fictional bank. I think of how I would control the situation once the bank tellers know what's about to happen etc
In my fantasies I'm the leader of the group (which is no more than 6 people). Everything is my responsibility. The amount of money we steal ranges from 1 million to 500 million.
I even dream about it sometimes! I LOVE these dreams because they're incredibly vivid and I get such a huge thrill out of it.
So is this normal? Do any of you have similar fantasies?
- This is normal. Sometimes I fantasize about similar things (criminal activities etc).Vote A
- No that's weird. You are a criminal in the making, seek help!Vote B

Hi. I often use store bought fondant to make cake toppers and end up with leftovers....please can someone tell me how long fondant can be stored once opened and what the correct way to store it is? I did try searching for this answer on CC but couldn't find any info. Any assistance would be much appreciated I'm still fairly new to cake decorating and have loads to learn!
I vacuum seal mine with a Foodsaver and it stays fresh along time --months. If I just try to wrap it back up in the bags and buckets it dries out too much to last more than a few weeks.
Roll it in a ball or log then rub some crisco on the outside of it. Wrap in plastic wrap then put in a zip lock bag or airtight container. Commercial fondant in my opinion is good until it is hard.
Thanx Guys! Appreciate the suggestions
i have some in freezer... been there for at least a year.. i wrap really good with saran wrap.. then put in freezer bag.. i roll it up in several logs.. wrap with saran. then put all in freezer bag.. get out what i want. do g/p the same way.hth
Thank u icer101 I had no idea you could freeze fondant, let alone for that long! I love the fact that so many of the more experienced CC users are willing to share their knowledge with newbies like me....thanx again 2 u all, & have a super day!!!(or evening depending on where u are!)

Report summaryRussian oil company Rosneft and Venezuelan NOC PDVSA have agreed to increase Rosneft's interest in the Petromonagas joint venture to 40% from 16.67%. Petromonagas is a heavy oil field located in the Carabobo area of the Orinoco belt. It has been in production since 1999. The JV operates an upgrader on the Caribbean coast which upgrades Petromonagas crude from 8.5° gravity API into 16.5° gravity API syncrude. The JV was formed in 2007, and Rosneft entered in 2013. Our valuation represents a significant premium to the US$500 million price which Rosneft paid. It is likely that both Venezuela country risk and oil price volatility were factored into Rosneft's valuation. PDVSA has been seeking foreign investment in its oil projects after being hit especially hard by low oil prices. Rosneft's financial outlook is solid, with the weaker rouble offsetting the effect of low prices. Rosneft has been looking to internationalise and this deal cements its partnership with PDVSA.

Especially if you are the value-hunting sort, picks are determined by who slides lower than they "should." As the season draws near, MFL10s are increasingly populated by casual players (aka well-adjusted folks), and this generally results in less predictable selections.
Added ADP volatility helps high-volume MFL10'ers diversify their player portfolio, but it can also result in unbalanced rosters – both positionally and stylistically. While balancing a positionally lopsided team is fairly intuitive, constructing a stylistically synergistic roster requires awareness of the types of players already drafted, as well as who best complements them.
Let's run through a few scenarios and solutions for righting a roster that looks lopsided after the single-digit rounds wrap up.
Wide Receiver Heavy
You zagged when everyone else was zigging, and gobbled up studly wideouts like you were Kelvin Benjamin at a Krispy Kreme. You even drafted an early quarterback and tight end. While a Zero RB strategy is not recommended in MFL10s, where waivers are not in play, here are a few options to help stop the backfield bleeding:
Danny Woodhead (Mid-10th Round)
I've been on the Woodhead train since it left the station, and over 20 percent of my teams have exposure to him – with an average ADP in the mid-to-late 12th round*. He's still a nice value at the current cost. That said, tread lightly if his price keeps rising. He may not have exactly the same role that helped earn him the 12th-highest PPR point total in 2013.
During Mike McCoy's "optimal game plan" stretch (scroll down), when San Diego was controlling the ball and winning games, Woodhead's PPR production dropped from 15 to 10 points per game, and his targets fell by more than two per game (5.6 versus 3.5). His snaps didn't drastically drop during that period, and he will clearly be involved on third downs as Melvin Gordon acclimates to the pro game. But if his ADP creeps into the single-digit rounds, keep in mind that you're not buying a full-time player.
Roy Helu (ADP: mid-12th round)
While Latavius Murray's potential is intriguing, Helu may offer more bang for the draft buck. Signed to a two-year deal on the first day of free agency, the still-young Helu (26) has averaged over 4 yards per carry during his career (4.4), and his 0.32 missed tackles per touch rate was tied for the highest among backs with at least 50 touches. Murray ranked 82nd on that list (0.07). With Oakland deploying more no-huddle, Helu's ticketed third-down role should garner him at least 50 targets – with room for more if Murray falls flat.
Javorius Allen (ADP: mid-15th round)
This one has a hint of Zero RB, considering it needs a Justin Forsett injury or production decline. That's not unthinkable for a smallish running back who turns 30 in October, no matter how much tread remains on his tires after just 797 career touches. He averaged 2.7 yards after contact per attempt through 12 weeks last year (seventh-best), and just 1.7 after that (41st out of 42 running backs). Marc Trestman rides a select few horses hard, and if Forsett falters, Allen and his good hands could be a league winner.
Lance Dunbar (ADP: late-17th round)
Grabbing a piece of the Cowboys fragile backfield is risky at this still-early stage. Dunbar's price mitigates that risk, and his projected pass-catching role should persist no matter who gets carries on early downs. Prior to DeMarco Murray's anomalous 500-touch season, Scott Linehan was known for split backfields and throwing to his running backs. We can be confident that it will be a timeshare to some degree, since they let their workhorse out of the barn after a bone-cleaning season for the ages.
Low-Ceiling Wide Receiver Heavy
There is nothing wrong with prioritizing a high floor at wideout – especially after stockpiling running backs in the opening rounds. However, if your receiving corps is thirsty for upside due to a few too many Jarvis Landrys and Jeremy Maclins, here are several suggestions:
Rueben Randle (ADP: mid-11th round)
Among 2014's more volatile (and disappointing) fantasy wideouts, Randle ended on a high note with a pair of top-10 weeks – and maintained that positive momentum throughout OTAs. It was noteworthy even to Victor Cruz, whose long odds at a full recovery by Week 1 are a morbid positive for Randle's outlook in New York's fast-paced, high-volume offense.
Marvin Jones (ADP: early-13th round)
He tied for the seventh-most touchdowns (10) on the 54th-most targets (77) among wideouts in 2013, before missing all of last year. Jones also earned PFF's seventh-best passing game grade (+12.3) at his position. The problem is he was targeted four or fewer times in half of his games. He won't provide stability, but he does offer occasionally serious upside at a point in MFL10s where folks start drafting defenses.
Kenny Britt (ADP: early-16th round)
With the seventh-highest deep target percentage out of 75 qualifying wideouts (32.1), the talented Britt remains a field stretcher. Fortunately the Rams finally have a passer willing to throw downfield, as Nick Foles led the NFL in deep ball percentage in each of the last two seasons. It is also noteworthy that St. Louis handed the still-young Britt a decent two-year contract in March ($14 million with $4.3 guaranteed).
Malcolm Floyd (ADP: mid-16th round)
His ADP should continue to edge upward, with the news of Antonio Gates' four-game suspension only helping. The time is now to add Philip Rivers' favorite downfield target. Floyd had nine weeks with either 70-plus receiving yards and/or a touchdown in 15 games. He also logged nine games with at least six targets, and sported the third-highest aDOT (average depth of target) out of the top-60 PPR wideouts (18.3 yards).
Nick Toon (ADP: early-18th round)
Whatever you think of Drew Brees' deep balls – his accuracy on them rebounded as his total attempts dipped last year – both the third receiver job and a truckload of targets are up for grabs. With Sean Payton's recent comments that "his snaps will go way up," we can assume the toolsy Toon's ADP is sure to follow. You won't find another available role with this much upside, in this good of an offense, this late in the draft.
Well, unless you want to throw a last-round dart at this guy.
…or maybe even this guy.
Volatile Wide Receiver Heavy
So your T.Y. Hilton, Martavis Bryant, Breshad Perriman receiver group has you understandably nervous about potential lean weeks? Luckily, this is easily remedied. Here are some options that will smooth over the rough patches, including a few 10th-rounders who tend to tumble further down the draft board:
Pierre Garcon (ADP: early-10th round)
It was just two seasons ago that Garcon was the PPR WR11 while leading the league in targets and receptions. While he won't see over 150 targets again, he'll get more than 100. Offseason fluffery should be mostly dismissed, but if he truly is lining up as the "Z" on Robert Griffin's right side – in the righty passer's field of vision, and where he's generally received better PFF grades – Garcon may indeed be in for a rebound.
Kendall Wright (ADP: early-10th round)
Last season he ranked 32nd-"best" in catchable ball rate out of 55 receivers with at least 50 receptions (67.4 percent), one year after placing third out of 46 wideouts in the same metric (76.1 percent). His quarterbacks ranked 32nd, 33rd, and 35th in Accuracy Percentage. Even if Marcus Mariota isn't yet "deadly accurate," he's a major upgrade in that department for a receiver who was the PPR WR20 in 2013 despite scoring just two touchdowns.
Marques Colston (ADP: mid-10th round)
He should soak up a sizable portion of targets that walked away during the offseason, and if nothing else, earn his price on volume alone. Of course, there really may not be much else to his game at this stage. Among all wideouts, Colston earned PFF's 10th-best passing game grade in 2013 (+11.1), before choking up a -8.9 effort last year (98th-"best"). However, early reports are hopeful, he plays with a still-studly quarterback, and occasionally slides multiple rounds below ADP.
Dwayne Bowe (ADP: late-13th round)
It's understandable if Bowe tracking Josh McCown passes (34th of 39 quarterbacks in Accuracy Percentage) doesn't give you the warm-n-fuzzies. He had the 13th-highest drop rate out of the 59 wideouts with 75 targets (10.5 percent), despite seeing catchable balls at the 12th-highest rate (74.4). Yet, as the by-default receiving Alpha Dawg, he should get at least 100 targets – and will exceed this price if he fills even one of Josh Gordon's shoes.
Cole Beasley (ADP: early-17th round)
At the risk of being mistaken for a Beasley groupie, I need to bring him up again. At the risk of falling into a cliché, he should have a Welker-esque effect on the Cowboys offense. Tony Romo has faith in him (as does Jerry Jones), and Beasley has shown "extension of the running game" ability – which could come in handy until their actual running game is sorted out. He out-targeted Dez Bryant over their last five games, including playoffs, and didn't drop a single catchable ball last season.

My legs are skinny, but they have too much muscle on them. How can I get toned, yet skinny legs that look great?
Most Helpful Guy
No offense, but I see and hear this question a lot. And yet, in just about every case, the girl doesn't actually have muscular legs. They are either unhealthily skinny, or in denial that their packing fat on their legs.
Just because your legs are bigger than you wish, and the skin is somewhat tight, does not mean they're muscular. It's most likely just fat legs. It could even be skinny-fat syndrome. Where you're skinny, but so out of shape, you look fat in areas.
I don't mean to insult you, but if you had muscular legs this is what they'd look like:
muscular legs:
skinny, muscular legs
They're extremely sexy, still feminine and you'd have to train for them. You don't just naturally get blessed with muscular legs. So, this idea that through just walking and socializing a lot, you accidentally got muscular legs is a bit off. It is more than likely, they're just fat and you think they're muscular. OR you have a perverted perspective of what looks skinny/healthy/muscular (e.g. like an anorexic). I take this assumption because it is highly unlikely you did resistance training for your legs, with the mindset that they could possibly get too muscular. So I don't think that is the case.
So things I'd suggest:
1.) Develop a healthy sense of what looks good.
2.) Actually google fitness models to get an idea of what it means to be a female and muscular and then you'll start to see if that is truly your problem.
3.) Realize that leg muscle in women usually retains it's feminism
4.) Start evaluating if your legs are muscular enough ;)21|11|0
but it's not that hard for some girls to get muscular legs...
Some people like myself, get muscle definition easily. Mine are like girl #2 under your muscular.
and the skinny muscular pic is uncommon lmao just sayin
- Show AllShow Less
Then why is it assumed that all thin girls are unhealthy? Or is it only fine when it's making a point you want?(or a point that makes girls who aren't thin feel good)?
You assumed models were unhealthy. I wonder why guys drool over VS models even though they starve themselves for weeks at a time before photoshoots and the fashion show lmao
I never insinuated ALL models were unhealthy ? Where are you getting that?
And again, we weren't talking about appearances, so no matter what guys drool over.. the topic is still health and not aesthetics.
The only way you can seem to respond is by making up arguments for me.. like somehow concluding I prefer girls to be obese, and now concluding that I think all models are grotesque or unhealthy. So.. I'm done. Since you're just saying random bs now.

I feel so fortunate to be living my dream. It would not have been possible
without the help, guidance and support of many people.
To my "not-a-dog-person" husband and chief kennel assistant, THANK YOU for
putting up with and helping me while I follow my dream. You are a Champion in
my heart.
To my children, THANK YOU for helping at home, in training and at shows.
Follow your passion.
I cherish the friends I have made in the Cavalier world. We come from all walks
of life, but our love for this breed is our common bond.
I doubt I would have gotten a start without Jennifer Wehking of St Jon
Cavaliers. THANK YOU for being my friend and mentor, holding my hand (long
distance even!), and trusting me with the wonderful dogs I have received from
you. Thanks also for a ton of fun down South and introducing me to even more
Cavalier people.
Julie Brienen makes me laugh or smile at least once a day. Not only is she a
cherished friend (actually she has become part of our family), but she puts up
with my driving ( and much, much more!)
Through my membership and involvement in my local All Breed club over the
past several years, I have made many new friends that own various breeds of
dogs and have learned so much. I was president of the Badgerland Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel Club which is a regional breed club, for 6 years. The club
members are very supportive of each other and the breed.
Showing my Cavaliers in conformation has opened up a whole new world to
me. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and am always eager to learn
more to hopefully do my part to help improve/maintain this wonderful breed. I
spend a good amount of my time on the phone talking to those who are
interested in learning about Cavaliers. It is my pleasure to add to the education
of all who are interested.
Few people in this world are lucky enough to do what they LOVE!
I am truly blessed.
2012 Update: My husband retired at the end of 2011 and in these economic
times it became my turn to bring home a paycheck. I work for Portage County
operating a branch library. Thankfully my husband is still my biggest supporter
and takes good care of the dogs while I am at work.
I am also going to my first obedience class with Mango, a 7 month old ruby
puppy out of Breely. I have been toying with the idea of branching out from
conformation showing, so hopefully this is the first step in that direction.
Aug. 2016 Update: The last year has brought us great joy with the birth of our
first grandbaby as well as health challenges for both Joe and I. I haven't gone
to nearly as many dog shows and we just had our first litter in a year. At this
point in my life I am enjoying a nice balance of activities and right now that suits
me. We never know what the future will hold so it's best to live one day at a
time and do what you love. For me, that still includes dogs (always looking for
that next show puppy!), but not to the exclusion of other things.
