BOSTON - The New England Patriots offered their continued and undiminished support for injured quarterback Tom Brady on Thursday, denying a broadcast report that they are upset that he opted against the team's preferred doctors and decided to have surgery on the West Coast.
After published reports said Brady needed two more operations to clean out an infection in his surgically repaired knee, ESPN.com, citing a source it did not identify, reported that "the Patriots, as an organization, are upset with the situation because they were clear that they wanted Brady's surgery done under the direction of doctors of their choosing in Boston."
Later Thursday, the Patriots issued a one-paragraph statement affirming their support for the quarterback who led them to three Super Bowl titles.
"This unsubstantiated report does not represent the team's views whatsoever," the statement said. "We have supported Tom Brady one hundred percent from day one of this process and will continue to do so. ... Today, we reiterate our total support for Tom as he recovers from his injury."
Brady was injured in the first quarter of the season opener on a hit by Kansas City Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard. He has been widely reported to have torn an anterior cruciate ligament, but he and the team have not given specifics on the injury or commented on his recovery.
In a statement posted on his Web site, Brady confirmed for the first time on Saturday that he has had two operations on the knee.
The Boston Herald reported on Thursday that Brady has undergone two more procedures since then to try to fight an infection. The newspaper said Brady is on a six-week course of intravenous antibiotics and will continue to have follow-up exams at the clinic in Los Angeles where he had the surgery.
If the infection is not brought under control, the Herald reports, the patellar tendon graft used to replace Brady's anterior cruciate ligament could become compromised. If that happens, Brady could need to redo the surgery - likely delaying his rehabilitation.
Boldin increases practice workload
TEMPE, Ariz. - Anquan Boldin increased his workload in practice on Thursday, but Arizona Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt remained uncertain whether his standout wide receiver would play Sunday at Carolina.
"He's doing a lot in practice, which is good to see," Whisenhunt said. "I think really it's about where he is tomorrow after practice and when we travel to Carolina how he feels."
The team planned a light workout Friday before their cross-country flight later in the day.
Boldin has been sidelined for three weeks with a fractured sinus and other facial injuries following a fierce hit by the New York Jets' Eric Smith on Sept. 28. He underwent surgery to repair the damage and began practicing this week.
Whisenhunt said the strong play of Steve Breaston in Boldin's absence makes it easier for coaches to keep Boldin's playing time down.
Coles nursing third concussion
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets wide receiver Laveranues Coles has a concussion and his status for the team's game against Kansas City was uncertain Thursday.
It's the third time in less than two years that Coles is dealing with a head injury. He had his streak of playing in 107 straight games end last November because of a concussion, and was briefly knocked unconscious when he was leveled by a hit by Miami's Zach Thomas in December 2006.
Coles didn't practice Wednesday, when he was listed on the team's injury report as having "head" and "thigh" ailments. He participated in warmups Thursday, but didn't participate in 11-on-11 drills for the second consecutive day.
"Yeah, it's a concussion," coach Eric Mangini acknowledged Thursday. "I just listed it that way because I list all the body parts. Yeah, that's a concussion."
Mangini also confirmed that safety Eric Smith suffered his second concussion in three weeks, and his status is also unclear. He was limited in practice for the second day in a row.
Coles, also nursing a strained thigh since training camp, was hit hard after trying to catch a pass late in the second half of New York's 16-13 overtime loss at Oakland. Coles came up with a facemask full of grass and appeared a bit dazed, but was able to return despite the injury.
"Those aren't coaching decisions," Mangini said. "We won't put anybody back in the game until they're cleared medically to go back in the game."
Coles, who leads the Jets with 30 catches for 369 yards and four touchdowns, refused to address the injury, citing the team's policy of not discussing them publicly.
"Y'all know we're not allowed to talk anything about that type of stuff, so why would you even put me in that position?" he said. "Understand that if I speak anything about any type of injury, that it's considered conduct detrimental to the team.
"Unless any of y'all are going to fork over some cash, don't ask me no more damn questions about it. Talk to Eric and talk to the doctors."
Smith was initially injured when he collided with Arizona's Anquan Boldin on a helmet-to-helmet hit on Sept. 28 that drew the safety a one-game suspension and $50,000 fine. Mangini was uncertain when the latest injury occurred.
"I can't remember if it was on a special teams play that he was in or one of the sideline tackles," Mangini said. "But once it happened, again, he goes to the doctors, the trainers and at that point, it becomes a medical decision, not a coaching decision."
Unlike Coles, Smith did not return to the game after the injury, but participated in special teams drills early in practice.
Tight end Bubba Franks (hip) and right tackle Damien Woody (calf) did not practice Thursday, while wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery (shoulder), tight end Chris Baker (back) and right guard Brandon Moore (foot) were limited.

text: So, after firing my friends RIA 1911 compact and recently obtaining my CCL, I bought one. My Glock 21 was to bulky for carry, so...with great inner conflict I traded my 14yr old Glock straight across for a new RIA 1911 compact at my local gunshop, and wow. This pistol is worth a closet full of Glocks! Ive put about 200 rounds through it without a single malfunction, it is suprisingly accurate for a compact pistol with small GI sights, it feels wonderful in my hands and am now in love with the 1911 design. I want a full-size badly now (going to try and save for a Wilson...maybe by christmas...of 2014,lol). I will never carry anything but a 1911 again, what a value, I cant beleive this is a $435 pistol, I would expect to pay twice that much for a pistol like this. I ordered black double diamond grips I think will give it a better look. I hope this pic isnt to small.

Earlier, Matt Brown lifted his winning streak to six fights with a 29-second demolition of Mike Pyle to signal his intent in the welterweight spectrum and Michael McDonald looks every bit the potential new generation champion at bantamweight in a coruscating fight with Brad Pickett.
The UFC's return to Boston needed authority, authenticity and a lightning bolt of electricity from its fighting crew. It delivered. In droves.
With new television channel FOX Sports 1 launching in the United States, BT Sport in the UK, and a new potential audience from the mainstream, it was a night for the man for all seasons – Chael P. Sonnen. And the fighter, broadcaster, author and bit-promoter brought his complete toolbox. DIY Sonnen. There was even a poem afterwards, calling out his next opponent. It's out there everywhere. You know the drill...
The unstoppable juggernaut that the UFC has become thunders on, leaving crushed highways in its wake. This really is becoming the road to the future for fight sports on television. Glitz, gloss - a little too much over-analysis at times - but real glory in the enactment.
There was even time for a crossover peek into boxing, as former Olympic gold medallist and world champion turned promoter Oscar De La Hoya plugged boxing on the new channel Stateside.
"It's my first UFC event, and I love it. The action, the crowd, we've taken the blueprint from the UFC and we'll be delivering well-matched, exciting fights," he implored, plugging Monday Night fights with Golden Boy Promotions.
Four musketeer mixed martial artists - Sonnen, McDonald, Brown and Browne - deliver top trumps
Chael Sonnen backed up his hype, stopping former UFC light-heavyweight champion Shogun Rua by guillotine choke in the first round of the main event.
Even Sonnen looked a little take aback at his dominance of the once feared Brazilian striker.
He then called for another Brazilian, Wanderlei Silva, to face him.
Sonnen vs. Brazil will run and run. Mileage in this yet.
Michael McDonald made a huge statement with a scintillating second round submission victory over teak-tough Brad Pickett, having knocked the Englishman from pillar to post in a brutal opening round with heavy counters - mainly left hands - and beautifully fluid movement.
Pickett was down twice in the opening round, as McDonald showed power and precision with hands and feet. He remains a UFC bantamweight champion-in-waiting, in spite of having lost in a bid for the interim 135lb title against holder Renan Barao in London in February this year. A title shot could be his tomorrow. And if he loses, the day after. He's that good.
'One Punch' Pickett and McDonald shared 'Fight of The Night', the East Londoner rewarded for his tenacity and never-say-die attitude. McDonald admitted afterwards he had "never hit an opponent so hard, so many times" who was still standing.
What McDonald did commendably was keep his composure throughout, taking his opportunity on the ground when he trapped Pickett's arm and head in a triangle choke, eventually forcing his foe to tap out. Reward for that moment was made plain when McDonald doubled his bonus awards with Submission of The Night.
Brown and Browne on the rise...
Then there was Browne the heavyweight and Brown the welterweight. Travis Browne made the statement of his career, battling back from genuine adversity and pain having been hurt to the body by knees in the first round to stop Alistair Overeem, whose finger grip on the top of the escarpment is faltering fast. The 6ft 7ins Hawaiian now moves inexorably to the top half of the heavyweight rankings ladder.
Browne was quick to call out UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez in the Octagon after the contest. The barn door size fighter, not just with the knockout but by dint of his weathering the attacks from Overeem and coming back, truly enhanced his credentials.
"My body was shutting down in there, but my mind would not give in. No one has hurt me to the body like that before," he said afterwards. But Overeem, indeed, has been exposed as flakey if opponents do not wither from his attacks.
Overeem, with his defeats to Browne, and before that Antonio Silva - also hurt but who fought back to defeat the Dutchman - has been exposed as an 'on top' fighter.
It is also clear that Browne's working out of his strategy through with trainers Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn is having a major impact. The delight of the Albuquerque, New Mexico camp generals was visible afterwards.
Matt Brown was equally as impressive. His ferocity, tenacity and aggression saw him all over Mike Pyle from the opening klaxon in their welterweight meeting. It took Brown - now on a 6-fight winning streak - 29 seconds to drop Pyle and put him away. It was a devastating finish - right hand, a knee, Pyle fell, and then two right hands to finish the affair.
Brown, perhaps rightly, then called out Georges St Pierre, the UFC welterweight champion. GSP indeed, has a date with destiny - or Johnny Hendricks - in Las Vegas on November 16, but Brown will be tailing from now on. He really is impressive, swarming and vicious in equal measure.
For their efforts, Brown and Browne were both awarded 'Knockout of the Night'.
Conor McGregor shines on US debut but suggests he picked up knee injury
Irish featherweight Conor McGregor looked magnificent on the feet in the opening round of his US fighting debut in the USA against Max Holloway, but had to revert to a ground game attack after an injury to his knee in the second round.
McGregor, 25 had Holloway, 21, dismayed in the opening stanza, with dominant kicks, artistry, balance, and utter confidence. He will go on to become a great entertainer in the UFC, the scene even blacked out for his Octagon walk.
But there was no disputing the result, with the three judges scoring the three-round bout 30-27, 30-27 and 30-26, one of the officials scoring the first round 10-8.
Given his exacting standards and desire to please, McGregor was disappointed to have been taken the distance by the Hawaiian, who was not in trouble after the change of strategy.
"I felt great out there. I could've gone another 25 of those rounds if need be. I went to catch a kick early in the fight and when he bridged and rolled I heard my knee click and it just wasn't stable after that," said McGregor afterwards.
"I could feel it moving in and out of position which is why I had to switch gears and start taking him down. I'm not happy with my performance though, this is mixed martial arts and that's not the way I like to fight out there."
"I felt the finish coming before my knee went and they say he's one of the better strikers in the division. I'm just trying to prove that no one can stand with me in the Octagon."
Night's other notes….
Urijah Faber continues to be at his brilliant best, comprehensively defeating Yuri Alcantara – who has come down two weight divisions to bantam – after weathering a desperate storm from the Brazilian in the opening two minutes.
Mario Yamazaki failed to warn Alistair Overeem for use of the knee to the head when Travis Browne was on one knee against the Octagon wall.
A career best performance from Michael Johnson against Joe Lauzon. Using great footwork and superior speed, he dominated Lauzon. Johnson slowed slightly in the second round, but this was a formidable display.

Drug Resistance in Visceral Leishmaniasis
Department for Interventions in Health-Care Facilities, Hellenic Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 15123 Athens, Greece
Received 29 June 2009; Revised 10 August 2009; Accepted 30 August 2009

Visceral leishmaniasis remains a public health problem worldwide. This illness was included by the World Health Organization in the list of neglected tropical diseases targeted for elimination by 2015. The widespread emergence of resistance to pentavalent antimonials in India where half cases occur globally and the unavailability of a vaccine in clinical use constitute major obstacles in achieving this goal. The last decade new antileishmanials became available, including the oral agent miltefosine. However, in poor endemic countries their wide use was curtailed because of the high costs, and also due to concerns of toxicity and emergence of resistance. Various mechanisms of antileishmanial resistance were identified recently in field isolates. Their elucidation will boost the design of new drugs and the molecular surveillance of resistance. Combination regimens should be evaluated in large trials. Overall, the development of antileishmanials has been generally slow; new drugs are needed. In order to control visceral leishmaniasis worldwide, treatment advances should become affordable in the poorest countries, where they are needed most.

Mitch Anthony, the author and president of the Financial Life Planning Institute, tells a story about a friend of his from Chicago, a "classic high-net-worth client." A financial planner walks into the guy's office, makes some small talk about golf and kids, and then asks the client, "So, where do you want to be five years from today?"
Anthony recalls that "every emotional cell in my being shut down" when he heard this tale. "It was what he was trained to ask," he adds, but his goal was to use the question "as a launching pad to sell a product or service" instead of a start toward a deeper and more fruitful relationship.
Many client interviews sound more like this example than a lot of advisors will admit. Instead of asking probing questions that will help the client talk about his or her goals, dreams, and even failings, too many advisors focus on closing the sale. Perhaps it's a financial plan. Or maybe it's a portfolio of funds or annuities. Whatever the case, too little effort goes into finding out about the client. Perhaps this is born out of the no-holds-barred sales training that many advisors went through when they began their careers at wirehouses or insurers. But this may be a critical mistake.
Fortunately, there is a way out of this mindset. An increasing number of coaches and consultants are offering advisors the training programs and tools they need to ask the kind of questions that will help them elicit better quality information from their clients (see table below; IA columnist Steve Moeller also addresses a related issue this month on page 157).
The questions you ask could be very specific: Advisor Benjamin Tobias of Plantation, Florida, for example, gives talks in which he describes the federal 1040 income tax form as the "greatest data gathering tool" for discovering planning opportunities (see page 92). The questions may also be extremely broad: Carol Anderson, Anthony's former business partner and now president of Money Quotient Inc. in Poulsbo, Washington, for example, specializes in developing questionnaires and workbooks that ask about issues such as spiritual growth and personal fears. In completing one of Anderson's exercises, a client may be asked to complete this statement: "As a child, my biggest concern about money was...." The open-ended answer, of course, is designed to lead to even more questions and, eventually may bring the client to discuss problems and hopes she probably had given little or no thought to in the past.
Whatever your interviewing style, the first step is to master the art of asking "appreciative questions." This art, says Madison, Wisconsin-based psychologist and coach Edward Jacobson, comprises "any question that inquires about positive, life-affirming experiences, beliefs, or visions." An example of such a question, Jacobson says, is "What's the best financial decision you've made in the last five years?" When posed this way, rather than, "How did you do on that real estate you bought back in 1999?" the advisor can "get data to get somewhere," Jacobson says. "You mobilize incredible energy for developing financial plans and mid-course corrections."
As they strive to build enduring relationships with clients, Jacobson suggests that advisors steer clear of making queries about personal deficits, shortfalls, weaknesses, limits, or obstacles. Don't ask, he says, questions such as:
"What problems do you want to talk about?"
"What's causing your problems?"
"What problems do you have in saving money?"
"What differences do you and your spouse have over money?"
Instead, Jacobson suggests refashioning the negative questions with a more positive spin:
"What shall we celebrate?"
"What's contributing to your success?"
"How are you saving money?
"Where do you and your spouse agree over money?"
Help on the Web
While Jacobson conducts seminars and workshops on appreciative questioning--he had several hundred advisors asking such questions of each others at this year's FPA Retreat--planners can also get a start in this area for free on the Web. For example, Appreciative Inquiry Commons, a Web site run by the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland (appreciativeinquiry.cwru.edu), has an extensive library of articles that can be downloaded. Many of the articles offer specific suggestions for posing questions designed to build relationships.
Those seeking an approach to the questioning process that is more focused on financial planning can avail themselves of a variety of coaches who not only teach advisors, but also produce quizzes and workbooks for advisors to hand out as homework for their clients.
At Money Quotient, for instance, Anderson, who holds degrees in early childhood education and consumer economics, has produced a "financial satisfaction survey" that many advisors use to help get their relationships with clients off the starting blocks. A multiple-choice quiz that allows clients to rank their answers on a five-point scale from "not satisfied" to "very satisfied," the survey asks whether clients are happy with such issues as their level of debt, their ability to meet financial obligations, their progress in building a retirement nest egg, and their existing relationships with bankers, brokers, planners, accountants, or insurance agents. Along with the survey come more detailed questionnaires that attempt to generate open-ended written responses to such questions as "How do you define your working life?" or "How do you hope to be remembered someday?"
"What we strive to do is to create a life-centered process," says Anderson. "Even the best communicators have days when they're not at their top form. It's useful to have tools to facilitate discussion, and these tools help advisors develop the confidence to ask additional questions."
But advisors say that asking questions in this fashion can also bring clients to realizations they had never expected. "The level of satisfaction I receive in getting clients to those 'Aha!' moments is so rewarding," says Stephen Shagrin, an attorney and CFP from Youngstown, Ohio (www.planningforlife.info), who offers Web-based training seminars based on Money Quotient materials.
Better Living Through Questions
Author and lecturer Anthony agrees that the name of the game in planning now is to develop closer ties through intelligent questioning. "This industry seems to have a focus on telling its story through numbers," he maintains. "Fifty to seventy percent of advisors don't resonate with clients." To rectify the situation, Anthony argues, "we need to get the story of our clients: Where they have been and where they are going. The primary role of an advisor is as a biographer. When you begin to ask the right questions, this magic thing called empathy begins to enter into the relationship."
Through the Financial Life Planning Institute, which currently serves around 500 advisors, Anthony and Institute Director Gene Lawrence offer several worksheets planners can use to ask about both clients' attitudes and goals, as well as to uncover upcoming transitions that may require planning assistance. The institute, based in Rochester, Minnesota, and Vestal, New York, also allows advisors to offer the worksheets through their Web sites, branded with their firm's name if they choose.
For example, the Institute's "Financial Life Report" asks both open-ended questions ("about my work career/path" or "first memory around money") as well as ones seeking to gauge a client's satisfaction with her financial affairs. The object is to produce not only a roster of potential problem areas, but also a to-do list of planning priorities. "Every single one of these answers is a conversation," Anthony says. "What we are teaching is wealthcare. We're like the clients' financial doctor who's doing their first checkup."
Watch What You Ask
Advisors who use worksheets such as those published by Money Quotient or Financial Life Planning Institute say they are generally well accepted and even appreciated by clients. But before loading up clients with questions, open-ended or otherwise, advisors need to be mindful of their subjects' sensibilities. "What you don't want to do is barrage your clients with a series of questions," says Andrea White, senior coach with Financial Conversations in Tempe, Arizona. "It's not an inquisition. You want to engage clients in the flow of conversation."
White adds that some advisors also have a false sense of confidence about their ability to ask evocative questions. These advisors feel strongly that because they know a lot about a client's family, for example, they know what is important to his financial future. Or, warns White, they pose questions too broadly, as if they were "using a chainsaw to prune a tree. You can kill it." Instead, White counsels, advisors should use their questioning skills to facilitate further dialogue. Asking a client a question like, "Describe what retirement looks like to you," she says, should result in a more conversation-producing answer than "How much money do you need to retire?"
Mastering the art of asking better questions is more than just a way of gaining a more complete picture of a client's life. Increasingly, it will help set advisors apart from their competition. With the Internet making it easy for consumers to crunch their own data, those same consumers are looking for more than just numbers in their relationships with advisors. Advisors who proclaim themselves to be "'just a numbers person. It's not my job to go deeper,'" warns White, "their days may be numbered." Maybe it's time for you to start asking some questions of yourself. If you don't like the conversations they yield, perhaps it's time to get some help from the pros.

How to find about inventory car
How to find about inventory car
When I was ordering mine, I could only ask the store manager to check inventory after I put down the $2500 deposit. At that time, none of the inventory/loaner cars have the options that I need, and they were not that much cheaper. Also, delivery would have taken at least two weeks. Therefore, I decided to stick with my own configuration and took delivery four weeks later.
When I took my test drive, they were able to bring up the list of Inventory cars available on their computer. We were able to select by battery, color, etc.
They keep the list private.
I was able to get mine at $24,000 off.
He said that was the biggest discount he had ever seen.
How did you get the $24,000 off?
Many miles and months?
It's not private, I got a list yesterday. Not sure how someone saved $24K. But the discounts aren't that great, usually $2K to $4K. $1 a mile and you can still get the fed tax credit of the car is not registered.
Also if the car in inventory was made prior to the price increase in August, you get the lower price.
Here's how I got $24,000 off:
Inventory car. Demo car in Denver. 6000 miles. Made in October 2012.
It has: Pearl White, P85, dual chargers, Tech, Air, Pano, Piano, Yacht floor, Premium Sound, black leather. VIN: 01251
They listed it as $18,000 off the list price.
It also had jump seats, that I didn't want. So, they removed them, and credited me $1500.
And, it had 21 inch wheels. A little bit scuffed. But, I didn't want those either. I live in a rural area, some gravel roads, I don't need super fragile tires. So, they put on the stock 19s and Primacy tires, and credited me another $4,500.
So, 18 + 1.5 +4.5 = 24
And I still get the tax credits. And full warranty.
Interior appears perfect except for a tiny dent in the metal trim near the interior door handle. Exterior perfect except for a tiny tear in the lower front bumper, and an itty bitty rock chip in the windshield. The "B" pillar shows no wear.
Back in those days, the canterra headliner came with the Performance package. Got that. Fog lights, too.
I added the rear cup holders. And since it had the dual chargers, I ponied up for the HPWC.
By "list price" as of Oct '12, or current? Either way, you scored a great deal!
I believe it was off the original price at the time it was manufactured. If I were to configure it today, it would be a lot more.
Many things that are options today were standard then. Like the premium lighting.
So, yeah, it was a great deal.
Damn that's a good deal and rare. I am not sure though that I would want a first production car. I was sent a list of inventory cars for sale and the savings was 4K max.
As to being a first production car:
Tesla has been great about delivering a top quality car. As I said, it originally had scuffed 21s, and now it has new 19 inch wheels. The front door handles weren't quite right, so they replaced one, and adjusted the other to make them perfect.
I noticed that there was some condensation in the backup lights. They COULD just replace the seals, but no, they noticed that the entire trim piece doesn't fit perfect, so they're going to replace the entire thing.
Back to the Inventory list...
At first, I limited my choice to the color, battery size, etc. Then, he said, "can you be flexible?" And I said, "Maybe! It depends." We has been looking at only MS85s. But then he found this car, and it was a P85, but it was LESS money, and had all the upgrades to boot!
It pays to be flexible. For instance, I would never think I would like Pearl White. Especially since it was more money. But now that I have it, I LOVE it!
So it was close to $100k and you got for $80ish?
That's what the inventory cars are going for, some a little under $80k.
I don't have the papers in front of me, but it was something like $111,000 and I got it to $88,000.
I too am getting an inventory car . I was able to walk into tesla showroom and tell them what I'm looking for , they pulled up all available cars with similar options and found the closest match . I had to forgo black leather for grey but got a great discount . We'll over $14k in savings
Test drive vehicle 7k on the clock , built in March 13. I did request 21" trade to 19" wheels for the $4500 credit but after much back and forth they told me they can't change the configuration of inventory cars anymore . I'm still working on that one !
Premium sound original option price rear facing seat at original price . -$1 per mile driven and somewhere in the equation is something like $1 per day of age ? Can't quite remember that one , still classified as new so tax credit in place .
I was told to expect a few rock chips but every thing else would be brand new !
I just looked at an inventory car and was told they're no longer offering the old pricing even if the car was manufactured under old options. I was looking at a Blue MS85, which still had the original door sticker listing it at $92,000.
They went to pull pricing on it for me and said they could sell it for $99k and change. It was built just before the price changes in August which gave it a 2 month discount (2%) and there were 22 miles on it, so another $22 off.
Not sure if all the shops are operating under the same rules though.
There were quite a few early lucky owners who received the $1k per month sitting in the show room deduction.
I guess 1% per month discount on a 100k MS is pretty close to the previous discount...
Good luck finding older demo cars with more than 10k off the MSRP. The consolation price is that you will get the car in 2 weeks instead of 8 weeks!!! How much is instant gratification worth?
There are also occasional inventory cars that are brand new, built as demos but not yet delivered. That is what I got back in late June.
We had made several stabs at high-discount inventory cars over the course of a couple of weeks, but each ended up having problems. (One was listed as being in Denver but turned out to be in Denmark. One sounded fine but was at a dealership my salesman knew and when he called someone there they said they would advise against buying it due to various condition issues. etc.)
I gave up and decided to configure and order and wait. But the day I went into order we took one last look at inventory. There were no high-discount cars, but there was a car sitting in fremont a week off the line with the exact configuration I wanted aside from having a black roof rather than body colored. I had my car 3 days later.
Went in and test drove my car in April. Had exactly what I wanted. Also had jump seats that I would not have necessarily purchased but for taking it with the jump seats got my car a week later, brand new with 14 miles.
Purchased my car from inventory , 5 miles , equipped the way I wanted & received it in eastern Ohio in 2 weeks. The car had not left the factory yet when I purchased it.
Bought mine out of inventory. Sales first looked through the list after a test drive. Some back and forth over several days via email and found a close match.
30 miles on it, still had factory stickers. % discount for being built over a month prior.
Bought a floor model recently. Received about 1200 discount. Total miles 54. Transport charge 1200( MA to TX). I did not like it since they charged less for my brand new car from factory to TX. It is in transit now. Hopefully everything is in good condition. Except a quicker delivery and small discount I do not see any difference here.
I'm playing tag with a guy from the Park Meadows store in Denver since the Austin gallery can't participate but haven't seen any proposals yet. It's starting to sound like the main advantage is going to be time.
Salesperson at the Toronto Canada store says no inventory or used cars available. He also said if I were to buy an inventory car the $8500 credit would not apply. I'm in love with the P85 multicoat pearl white with grey rims on the showroom floor. It is for sale but I'm not in the mood to drop $130k on it even though I can afford it, when I know there are plenty available south of the boarder for under $100k slightly used.
@Hosas: If that "high discount Denver car" was Pearl White, it's sitting in my driveway!
P85 with 5955 mi $92,294 6 months old
Original Price $104,520
Options include silver paint, panoramic roof, 19" wheels, black performance interior, carbon decor and spoiler, tech package smart suspension, high fidelity sound, alcantara headliner & rear facing seats
Since 19" not available, they threw in 21" and will get me 19" with winter tires in ny.
Current cost for all options with wheels $120,870.
All prices are not inclusive of tax credit.
The key is to find a location willing to work with you, Short Hills is outstanding at this and I bypassed my local one because they were not as responsive. Still can get your car delivered at local service station
Has anybody else bought an inventory model? I am looking at one with 6k miles. Waiting on the pictures. How about the wear on the tires. These are the 21 inch.
Also, if you traded your car in, how did that go?
@Barry: I bought an inventory P85+ end of January. 5600 miles that had been up in Washington state. The tires had 3800 miles on them, then they switched to winter tires.
Rears have a bit of wear, I will have to replace them in a few thousand miles. Since it was a demo car there was plenty of hard acceleration. It also had the now famous "ton of neg camber and no toe in" alignment issue (now corrected). Considering I saved right at $20K by doing inventory, I'm OK with soon needing 2 tires.
I also traded in my previous car via Tesla. It was a very smooth process. Tesla took pictures of the trade in while I was there to test drive the Tesla. They sent the pics out to 4 dealers and gave me their offers. The best was still $1k lower than top book value, so I asked them to check if the dealer was willing to go up $1k. They were so I said OK.
When it was time to pick up my Tesla, I just left my trade in at the Tesla service center and gave them the signed title. The trade in value was reflected on the bill of sale, so I only paid sales tax on the difference.
Oh yeah: Be advised that an inventory car does not quite have new car levels of perfection. Tesla will expect you to understand that some wear is normal. In my case: A couple tiny chips in the front (very tiny). When the car arrived at the SC, one rim was badly curb damaged. My SC replaced it before delivery. Another rim had slight rash and this was not replaced. Again, you will be expected to accept issues like that. I lucked out in that my interior is perfect with no signs of wear at all.
@mstrob, thank you very much for sharing your experience. Very insightful and I will make sure to do a thorough inspection. I'll also check on the alignment issue.


text: EDINBURG, Texas — Border Patrol officials are looking to expose the cruel human smugglers believed to behind many of the abuses that illegal immigrants go through. They are making it personal by posting their photos. A new effort kicked off in the Rio Grande Valley Sector forced a lowly cartel employee named Jose Guadalupe Valerio Lavansate to run away from South Texas to go hide in Mexico. The man is believed to be a low level member of the Reynosa based faction of the Gulf Cartel. In the wanted photographs used by authorities to identify the man, Valerio is wearing a white and black t-shirts with the CDG logo, which stands for Gulf Cartel. Valerio is just one of four individuals that have been directly affected by a new strategy called "Se Busca" (Spanish for wanted). The media campaign is aimed at publicly identifying and exposing individuals directly involved with human smuggling in the RGV, said Border Patrol RGV Division Chief J.R. Villarreal during an exclusive interview with Breitbart Texas. Instead of focusing on high profile criminals or masterminds who are often times rather cautious about being seen, the strategy is aimed at exposing the individuals who are tied directly

Most of us experienced our first snow of the season yesterday. Here in Denver? We hit snow number three for the season. The weird thing is I love winter – the snow, the chill in the air, an excuse to wear every sweater and pair of boots I own. But, I won't lie, I do long for one 70-degree day here and their. So, where am I going with this?
Emily and Tim. First off, their wedding was outside – it was June after all. Secondly, look how green that grass is. Thirdly, how about the relaxed, classic style of their wedding? It has these beautiful details like the escort cards and chiavari chairs, but then you have the simple and natural backdrop for their wedding ceremony. Sounds like a good mix to me.

One by one, the riders before Beezie Madden had their chance and suffered their struggles through the $175,000 Nexen Cup.
You couldn't blame the defending champ for wondering if she'd met the same fate when her horse, Judgement, tickled the rail on the first jump of the difficult Devil's Dyke.
"He hit it hard enough I was wondering if it went down but I could see the scoreboard, actually, as I went out of the Devil's Dyke, so I knew I'd jumped clear," she said. "I think it was the only fence he actually touched in the whole course."
For the second year in a row, the pair teamed up to claim the derby that concludes the Spruce Meadows National.
For the second year in a row, they were the only team to go clear through the extremely challenging course.
Apparently, at least to Madden, it didn't matter it was a new layout designed by Leopoldo Palacios.
"It was different. It was probably more technical of a course," said Madden, who claimed the $58,000 first-place prize.
"It was a little longer and I think fatigue was a factor with the last two fences being big and difficult to jump. It took a horse with a lot of heart and a lot of stamina."
Madden, from Cazenovia, N.Y., who sits No. 2 on the Spruce Meadows all-time list behind only Ian Millar with more than $1.9 million, has won the derby three times in the last five years.
Rich Fellers of Wilsonville, Ore., placed second to win $35,000, while Millar, from Perth, Ont., was third and won $21,500 aboard Redefin, a young horse at only nine years of age.
"I don't get nervous about so many things but I was somewhat concerned once I walked that course," said Millar, who has won the event four times in his career. "The indication I'd got from Leopoldo was he was gonna make it a little friendlier and I did not find it friendly.
"It was a major challenge for the young horse and I couldn't be more pleased with how he stepped up."
Fellers, the 2004 champ, was in big trouble when his mount, Flexible, knocked down the first rail of the Devil's Dyke and nearly was stuck but somehow made it out with no further faults.
"Having a little experience with the derby and the Devil's Dyke, the only thing to do when you get hung up is to fight when you get through however you can," Fellers said. "If you don't, you're done. You're not gonna finish. He's a sensitive enough thoroughbredy horse when he got tangled ... he popped out some how. "I'm curious to see it on video but it won't be something I'll try to duplicate."
Kyle King of Mobile, Ala., (Capone 1) was fourth, while Jill Henselwood of Oxford Mills, Ont., placed fifth with Black Ice and sixth aboard Special Ed.
Mark Armstrong of Great Britain successfully repeated In the $40,000 ATCO Structures Double Slalom with Rex.
The duo won the event for the second straight year by edging Canadian Jill Henselwood in the head-to-head final round for the $15,000 first-place prize.
Henselwood, who rode Boomer, collected $9,800.
Canadian Keean White (Arriscraft Rocca) and Alejandro Karolyi (Graciano L.S.) were eliminated in the semifinals and each claimed $2,000.
The Sun Media Riders' Cup was claimed by Team Milton, consisting of Mark Armstrong, Jennifer Crooks, Mario Deslauriers, Kim Farlinger, Rich Fellers, Audra Fleck-Snijders, Margie Gayford, Lauren Hough, Eric Lamaze and Santiago Lambre ... Beezie Madden was also named Canadian champion, which comes with a $15,000 prize and use of a Chrysler car for a year.

Me Thao–Once upon a Time (Mê Thảo Thời vang bóng)
Wednesday, 28 April
6:30 p.m. – Korean Studies Auditorium
Viet Nam, 2002 (107 min)
Vietnamese with English subtitles
Director: Viet Linh
Cast: Duong Don, Dung Nhi, Trang Minh, Thuy Nga
Early 20th century, northern Viet Nam. Nguyen (Dung Nhi), a westernized nobleman and landowner, befriends Tam (Duong Don), a "dan day" (three-stringed instrument) player after the latter is accused of murder. Nguyen hides him in his estate, making him a supervisor and a confident, but in doing so, Tam is forced to leave his lover, the singer To (Thuy Nga). A life-changing event forces Master Nguyen to turn his back on everything modern, burning his own Western furniture and clothes, and forcing his villagers to destroy their few modern possessions, including tools, books and toys. Tam, seeing the land sliding into misery and his master retreating into madness, tries to help him and his people.
Mê Thao is interesting for what it tells us about Vietnamese culture and Vietnam's perception of itself. There are many themes in this movie: the conflict between modernity and tradition; the complexity, rigidity, and violence of traditional class relations; the ambiguous role of the colonists (both seen as oppressors and as liberators); and a repressed sexuality.
There are many impressive scenes in this movie including a stunning visual where dozens of giant lanterns are lit and set free in the night sky, a tradition re-invented for the movie by the superb director Viet Linh (The Traveling Circus). Also remarkable is the "cat tru" chamber music, a thousand-year old art that plays a decisive role in the film, and sounds like a Vietnamese version of the Blues, as harsh, plaintive and moving as its American counterpart. -Gilles Tran

The official visit schedules of players all over the nation is starting to fill out, and this includes Birmingham (Mich.) Groves two-star safety Aaron Webster. The 6-foot-2, 194-pounder is slated and scheduled to take his first visit next week.
"I got a visit set up to Cincinnati," he said. "After that, I'm trying to get my other dates lined up. I think I'm going to visit Wisconsin and Bowling Green also."
But make no mistake about it, Webster said he's excited about his first visit of the season.
Article Continues Below
"I'm looking forward to seeing the campus life and see how the major I want fits in with what they offer," he said. "I'm being recruited by coach Dan Enos. He's a real laid back type of guy. He's real mellow. I like that a lot."
Webster said he thinks Wisconsin is moving closer and closer to offering him a scholarship. He said he recently sent the Badgers his ACT score, which should make the coaches there happy.

Table 3:
Advantages and disadvantages of assessing built environment features using a paper questionnaire versus GPS device.
Paper questionnaire
Easy to administer, does not require advanced technical knowledge.
Small, light, portable, convenient, relatively inexpensive, waterproof, allows for quick recording;
comes preloaded with dozens of icons;
allows for automatic data transfer onto computer, easy geotagging of pictures to show their locations on a map, and easy integration with spatial analysis programs;
Questionnaires create a heavy load to carry during assessments; manual data entry is time consuming; inconvenient to use when raining.
Requires greater technical knowledge and integration of several computer programs to get data into a form that can be analyzed;
possible safety hazard to be carrying expensive equipment alone and in plain sight.
Relative disadvantages: acquiring GPS devices outside of major cities may be more difficult and costly; base map (if used) and position accuracy varies depending on location and quality of GPS device used;

Japanese Smart Home Industry Brought Together by HGI
Task Force to build on solid smart home foundations
06 December 2012. An open forum concerning the delivery of smart home services will be hosted in Tokyo on 11 December by HGI, the leading global organisation for publishing requirements for the digital home.
The workshop will discuss the use-cases and methods of delivering smart home services. It will compare and contrast the Japanese smart home ecosystem with the requirements of HGI companies in different regions.
Takefumi Yamazaki, a member of HGI's Board representing Japanese service provider NTT, said that the HGI's work to clarify requirements for the software architecture of the home gateway is key to enabling services such as home automation, home health care, and energy management, which are extremely important in the Japanese ecosystem.
"The home gateway is increasingly becoming the platform of choice for delivering smart home services to consumers," said Mr Yamazaki. "To enable the next steps, HGI is defining software modularity, the smart home abstraction layer, smart home interconnect requirements, and home gateway testing strategy. These are cornerstones of a smart home ecosystem.
"With the open forum, we would like to spur discussion of the Japanese ecosystem requirements and help HGI address the particular Japanese needs."
An important aspect of the forum is discussing the particular needs of the Japanese market for smart home interconnects, and both ECHONET and ZigBee will address the HGI open forum.
Mr. Fukunaga, member of ZigBee SIG Japan, commented: "ZigBee is a key technology in the smart home ecosystem in Japan. We are very pleased to take part in the HGI open forum and to participate in the discussions about service provider needs in this area."
The Tokyo Workshop is free to attend upon prior registration for industry members; however the number of seats is limited.
Following the workshop, HGI members will meet throughout the week to progress their work in the smart home, particularly focussing on Application Programming Interfaces suitable for service deployment. HGI members will also discuss testing and requirements for home networking and gateways.
For additional information about HGI, including registration details for joining the HGI Tokyo Forum and/or the quarterly meeting as an observer, please visit http://www.homegatewayinitiative.org/ and contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Blustery weather closes schools and cancels events
Most schools in the region closed early today and many community events have been canceled because snow and high winds are causing limited visibility and snow drifts on roads.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation advises no travel in southwest and west central Minnesota due to blowing snow and reduced visibility, according to Pam Wood, public affairs coordinator with the MnDOT District 8 office in Willmar.
Kandiyohi County plows have been out since early morning trying to keep intersections sanded and knocking down snow drifts.
"In this wind it's pretty tough," said Steve Lindgren, shop foreman for the Kandiyohi County Public Works Department.
Visibility is worse in the open areas and drifts that are plowed out are filling in quickly again, said Lindgren.
The blizzard warning took school superintendents by surprise. After considering options they moved rapidly to close schools and transport students,
"It boils down to that we want to keep kids safe and we want to get them home," said Willmar School Superintendent Dr. Jerry Kjergaard.
Conditions were so bad in the Montevideo area that the school district there had considered keeping students in town and not sending the buses out. A spokeswoman for the district said one bus did get stuck while taking students home but there were no other incidents reported.
Along with making the difficult decision about whether to let school out early or not is making sure families are aware children are being sent home.
The district's new Campus Messenger system was put to the test this morning to let parents know about the early closing.
The automated computer system made about 4,200 calls in less than ½ hour, said Kjergaard.
There were a few minor glitches in the system- mostly some incorrect telephone numbers.
"But a great majority of the phone calls were absolutely correct," he said.
Paul Carlson, superintendent at New London-Spicer said bus drivers there were put on alert early this morning when the blizzard conditions were first predicted.
After communicating with bus company, weather forecasters and superintendents from districts in the western part of the state, Carlson said the decision was made to close school and call for the buses to come back to the school before noon.
"There's a very small window of opportunity to send your kids home," he said. "We were able to organize pretty quickly."
Kjergaard said deciding whether to close school early because of weather is one of the most difficult decisions a superintendent has to make.

Unanswered: Need Help With Front End
Not My Car!! I am new to this forum.. as a matter of fact This is my first day.... I have to say pretty neat forum. I have been using Helptalk.net most the time the past few years.
My Question is. I have been using MS Access and am starting the progression to SQL. I was wanting as much input as to which Front End programming language is eaiser, what are the pros and cons. I am trying to take a new development in my database development adventure. Boy has it been one! I am proficent with VBA but I get confused once in a while, and I am 100% self taught! I would really like to hear your comments. Thanks in advance!

If you know VBA, then the transition to VB6 will be a breeze. Some may suggest that this is the time for you to learn VB.NET, but many compannies will not be migrating their applications to this newer platform because of cost, compatibility, stability, etc. VB6 will be around for a while
If you choose VB6, then I suggest you become proficient with ADO so your applications can connect to small (MS Access) and massive (Oracle) databases and MS Excel workbooks locally and on large networks. Yes, you also use it to connect to SQLServer tables. Become comfortable with SQL, because with that language you write database triggers, and stored procedures, as well as perform ADO database / worksheet operations. Learn to use ADOX (ADO Ext for DDL and Security) so you can create MS Access tables and MS Excel worksheets from scratch (you use SQL to create Oracle tables). And finally, learn to write HTML so you can create and communicate with webpages.
That should keep you busy for the next year. Good Luck!

Five white men walk into Chicano Park...
City council hears about "patriot picnic" clash in Barrio Logan
Eric Bartl 8 a.m., Nov. 19
(Page 2 of 2)
continued "The Cross isn't bad."
"Yeah, but Muncher deserved better. Guy fought off a company of VC all night while leading a bunch of broke-dick VN mercs outta harm's way without any U.S. air or arty support."
"Hey! But d'ya remember the good times we had out there in the desert at Niland? Didn't have no buildings then. We slept in back of that gas station on Highway 187, cleaned our weapons in the grease pit, got all fucked up at the Silver Dollar, and sometimes got lucky with that 120-degree pussy used to hang out there. Remember?"
Before I could reply, he'd drained his beer and shouted across the room for the waitress to bring another round, even though my glass was only half empty. "Better drink up, mate," he said.
The waitress returned with foaming drafts. After she left, he leaned over the table, his face inches from mine, his tobacco breath enveloping me.
"But let me tell you what we did for Billy Machen on the first anniversary of his death. Six of us outta the Delta was pullin' liberty at Frogsville up in Danang. We was hangin' out with the UDT guys playing beach volleyball during the day 'n getting airstarts from Big Red in M1A1 Alley at night. Suck me silly with a handy billy!" He laughed a short, barking laugh devoid of mirth.
"This particular night," he continued, "we was drinking at an Alley bar when someone -- don't remember who -- reminded us that it was the anniversary of Billy's death. No one there had been with Billy, but we all felt like we had. He was one of us. We talked about Billy for a while and how he died, and then we decided we should do something -- get some payback.
"We left the bar, returned to Frogsville and jocked up -- put our web gear on with full loads. I carried the grenade launcher. Rest of the patrol had the usual assortment of M16s, CARs, and of course the Stoner. We all had sharpened Ka-Bars with a light coating of WD-40.
"We borrowed a UDT weapons carrier and headed north out of the city up toward the Do-Long bridge."
"Tell anyone where you were headed? Lay on any support?"
"Nope. We just up and did it. Didn't even take a radio."
"We got to the bridge a little after midnight, left the weapons carrier with a squad of Marines guarding the bridge, and started patrolling along the river into Happy Valley. Told the jarheads we'd give them a green flare on the way back in."
"Didn't you have to go pretty deep into the Valley to make contact? You probably wouldn't run across anything close in except woodcutters, fishermen, maybe farmers."
"Ever'body in that fucking valley's VC -- especially after the sun goes down." He paused to pull at his beer. "Hadn't gone more'n two or three klicks before we heard 'em thrashin' toward us up from the riverbank chirpin' away like slopes do.
"We eased off the trail into the bushes and waited still as tombstones. There was three of them with fishnets: two men and a co. We let all three get in amongst us before we grabbed them.
"Nobody said nothing. We just took out our knives and started cutting. We passed 'em down the line and ever'body got good 'n wet. I damned near cut my own self when I sliced clean through one of them scrawny Veetmanese necks.
"After we'd finished, I got an idea. I turned the co over and slit her black pajama top open. She had a pretty good set on her. I went to work like Jack the fuckin' Ripper.
"When we got back to Frogsville, I cleaned, cored, and cured the tit. Punched holes around the open end and worked a skinny length of rawhide through the holes for a drawstring. Made a dandy pouch for my Prince Albert."
He made a movement with his hand and, for a startled instant, I feared he would produce the leathered thing and a pack of Zig-Zags to roll his own. But all he did was grab my hand and say, "Gotta go. Someone's waiting. Great seeing you again, mate." Then he vanished through the translucent curtain into the night. One of us.

VMEbus SBC claims high integration, low price tag
Post a comment
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. The Colt II V156 VMEbus single-board computer (SBC) from General Micro Systems boasts a price tag below $2,000 in single quantities. According to company president Ben Sharfi, the board delivers a "price/performance and integration level" that's hard to beat.
Based on a 350-MHz AMD K6 microprocessor with MMX extensions, the V156 contains a full complement of memory, peripheral control and I/O. It has 512 kbytes of L2 cache, 256 Mbytes of 10-ns SDRAM, 512 kbytes of flash memory and 72 Mbytes of disk-on-chip flash memory, supported by M-Systems' TrueFFS hard-disk emulation software.
The board also sports an autosensing 10/100-Mbit/second Ethernet port based on Intel's 82558 Ethernet controller, a 40-Mbyte/s Fast/UltraWide SCSI interface based on the LSI Symbios 53C875 controller and dual 33-Mbyte/s Fast IDE interfaces. Its high-performance graphics engine is based on a Cirrus 5446 64-BLT graphics processor, supported by 2 Mbytes of video RAM. A PMC expansion site, two USB ports, a pair of comm ports, a floppy port and a printer port are also provided.
Sharfi praised the Intel-compatible path to embedded-computer design as "an excellent alternative to the PowerPC, particularly for 680X0/VxWorks designers who prefer a Windows development environment. PowerPC SBCs may be cheap," he said, "but development support is weak, as is the future road map." By contrast, he said, the "well-established Intel/AMD upward migration path and instant access to the familiar Windows development environment" are a plus for designers.
The Colt II consumes 28 W, "making it ideal for embedded environments with tight power constraints or thermal requirements," Sharfi said. Operating-system support is available for Windows NT 4.0, Solaris x86, QNX, VxWorks and Real/IX.
The board is available immediately, priced at $1,994. Versions are also offered with either a 266-MHz Intel Tillamook Pentium processor or a 400-MHz AMD K6.

My mother and I were strolling through the children's section of a bookstore last weekend and the conversation turned to my favorite picture book as a child. I loved this book so much. I must have asked my parents to read it a thousand times and read it myself a million times more. Mom and I started laughing in the aisle of the store because, even though we hadn't seen the book in over twenty-five years, we still clearly remembered everything that happened in it. I have an exact image of one of the illustrations in my head. I can't tell you what I had for dinner a couple nights ago, but I could explain in detail this illustration from my favorite book when I was five. That's the power of books!
Anyhow, the problem is, neither of us can remember the title. I'd love to try to search out a copy. To be honest, I'd probably cry if I saw this book again because it holds such sentimental value. But I have no author name, no title.
So, I'm reaching out to the blogosphere to see if anyone else knows what this book could be.
It was a picture book, out in the '70s. It was about a little girl who walked to school each day. She passed by a house with a tall wooden fence. On the fence was a sign that said: Beware of Dog. (There was an illustration of this). She always pictured this giant, scary dog living there. I think the dog may have barked, too. A loud, big dog bark. But then one day, as she walked by, somehow the dog was out. The little girl closed her eyes in fear, but then felt something on her hand. The dog licked her hand. (There was an illustration of this, too). She opened her eyes and it was a very small dog. I think the owner may have come over and given an explanation for the sign, but that part's fuzzy. And that's all I remember.
Anyone have any idea what book this could be?

Unilever and UNICEF support hygiene promotion in primary schools: hand washing campaign launched in Federal Capital Territory
Unilever and UNICEF aim to support hygiene promotion in 6 primary schools in FCT.
Gidan Mangoro, FCT, 25 October 2007 - UNICEF and Unilever Nigeria Plc in conjunction with the Federal Capital Territory today launched a Hand Washing in Schools campaign. The campaign is aimed at promoting hygiene among pupils and their families and is currently being launched in all states across the nation. The standards of hygiene and sanitation in many communities in Nigeria have been shown to be far from satisfactory in ensuring the survival and development of children – this is often due to a lack of awareness of the link between poor sanitation and health problems.
The launch is part of activities under a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2005 between Unilever & UNICEF Nigeria. In the agreement, Unilever Nigeria has provided N78.6million over a three-year period for UNICEF to implement a Hand Washing, hygiene education and environmental sanitation project in 222 primary Schools across Nigeria (6 schools per state) as part of UNICEF's Child Friendly Schools Initiative with the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Mr. Ayalew Abai, UNICEF Country Representative commended UNILEVER's commitment to improving hygiene in schools noting that "if Nigeria is to achieve all the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, private sector support like this would be crucial"
Unilever's support for this campaign will go towards enhancing the resources UNICEF already provides for water and environmental sanitation, such as providing hand washing facilities and soap, setting up Environmental Health Clubs in schools to provide hygiene education and building and refurbishing existing water and sanitation facilities in selected schools.

After a lengthy absence from meetings of the Campus/Community Alcohol Coalition, Athens-Clarke County bar owners deigned to grace the group with their presence Tuesday.
As recently as last month, bar owners were contending they hadn't been getting any notice of the coalition's sessions. Maybe so, but it's of more than passing interest that bar owners were somehow able to show up Tuesday - just after the first two weekends of the new semester at the University of Georgia produced dozens of arrests on underage possession and other alcohol-related charges, some of which occurred immediately outside bars.
To be fair, it was encouraging to hear at least one bar owner at Tuesday's session call for an increased police presence, especially during bars' busier hours, as a potential deterrent to underage drinking.
Substantially less encouraging, though, was the chorus of excuses offered up by some bar owners as to how difficult it is to keep underage people from drinking in their establishments.
Mark Bell, owner of two bars, had a couple of excuses to offer. First, he told coalition members fake IDs are of such high quality today that it's difficult to tell them from legitimate identification. He also offered up the excuse that there always will be some underage drinkers who will manage to sneak into bars.
Mark Woods of downtown's Ritz bar also had a couple of excuses to offer, including the argument the University of Georgia, in cracking down on on-campus underage alcohol consumption, created a problem for local bars by pushing those young people into the wider community.
In essence, what's behind Woods' argument is the assertion that bars can't be held totally responsible if some underage drinkers manage to get in and get served. In other words, he's suggesting the university - which, it must be noted, is the only local entity to step up thus far and take concrete steps to deal with underage alcohol consumption - is making downtown bars serve underage drinkers.
Woods continued down a problematic path Tuesday by further suggesting downtown offers a somewhat safe alternative for youthful imbibers, due to the presence of police officers and security cameras.
Here's a question, then: If a law enforcement presence makes downtown safer for young people, wouldn't it be safer still if bar owners decided they, too, had some responsibility for enforcing the law that keeps underage people out of their establishments?
Perhaps the most disingenuous statement to come out of Tuesday's meeting, though, was Bell's suggestion that the county government consider setting a limit on the number of alcohol licenses it hands out. Such action would, of course, be welcomed by businesses - like Bell's - which already hold licenses, because it would serve to limit their competition.
The problem is not the number of bars in downtown Athens. The problem is that some of those bars serve underage patrons. And if Tuesday's Campus/Community Alcohol Coalition meeting is any indication, there's not much to show that bar owners will be offering up any constructive proposals for addressing that problem.
Holding a license to serve alcohol carries an awesome responsibility. It's past time for all local bar owners to start taking that responsibility seriously.

Rendezvous Bistro Ratings and Reviews
Another excellent meal with very professional service . The entrees were Veal Marsala and the Trout which are regular options .Both came with sizable portions of vegetables n potatoes n were tasty . Love the off season in Jackson n especially dining here since the room can get noisy .
I have mixed feedback on our experience. Nice decor and ambiance, but a large group came to the private dining room, which opens onto the main dining room. They were loud and rowdy and ruined the experience.
Our food was very good- the mussels were absolutely out of this world and the chocolate bread pudding was a pleasure. However, our server was socially very awkward and I also recieved some surprisingly dirty silverware.
Food was very good. Went there for seafood and was not disappointed. Restaurant is nicely decorated and this adds to its appeal. Service was very good. Only negative was that we thought it was a bit pricey. So expect to spend in excess of a $100 for a dinner for two with only two drinks.
Met with a Cousin and family that I hadn't seen for over 30 years. Despite the fact that the cousin and family members had been held up in heavy summer traffic in Yellowstone and Grand Teton Park, the staff at R Bistro held our table (a special request corner booth) and couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating!
We will eat here again and again and always recommend this spot to our visitors and guests!
I am local and have been going here for years. Not any more. Alligator was not edible. Ceasar salad was lousy. Mary's fried chicken was not hot and you would do better at Albertson's. Only the profiteroles were good. Go somewhere else!! This place has gone downhill big time.

I have been amused lately by certain articles or lists I come across on the topic of how to weather these "trying economic times."
An editor's letter in a popular magazine lamented her missed opportunity in buying a pair of tights at what she considered to be a phenomenal price: $20.
These name-brand tights (which I'd never heard of in my life), according to her, are regularly priced at $60. I suppose they were on sale because most people figure they can get by without $60 tights these days. Or maybe it simply was an end-of-season event. Who knows? Whatever the case, Miss Editor at Large resisted an overwhelming urge to purchase any on-sale tights by reminding herself that she had five pair of fully functional tights in her dresser drawer at home.
What will-power; what sacrifice.
Give me a break. Now, it's entirely possible, likely even, that this woman is in dire financial straits. If she shops where they sell $60 tights then I only can guess what the shoes cost.
But isn't it a little embarrassing to pretend that going without one more pair of luxury leg-coverings is on par with people who are struggling to feed their children?
We know, at least, that she hasn't lost her job, which is saying something.
I will give her credit though, in that her magazine does feature some handy penny-pinching tips, even if they are old news to a stay-at-home mom. More and more, I feel like I'm watching the rest of the world figure out what I did when my daughter was born seven years ago: How to get by on less.
I remember making a list of our so-called "fixed" expenses, only to realize they needn't all be fixed. At the time, we had two cell phones, for instance.
By and large, they only were used on occasion - we had survived the first 25 years of our lives without them, so we didn't have a great attachment to them. It was a no-brainer to give one up, and we've existed with only one ever since.
We cut back our cable bill by switching to basic service. Then, when we moved, never got around to getting service at all. Now we can't quite imagine how we'll ever fit television into our already-too-busy lives again. With the exception of a few football games (and the Food Network), we haven't had time to miss it.
We've long been accustomed to taking advantage of our library cards, accepting (and offering) handed-down clothing, and growing much of our own food. We admire friends who get by with one car, and we do our best to make efficient use of our own cars. It doesn't take long to recognize that what's good for us financially is quite often good for our bodies and the environment, too.
It's true that so much of what the media suddenly are touting has been a way of life for me since becoming a mother, so I'm not feeling the sacrifices as acutely as, say, someone who's used to sporting trendy hosiery.
I didn't let go of everything so easily, I might add, but I now enjoy a certain sort of liberation that comes from the knowledge that you don't need as much as you thought you did. The best things in life, thank goodness, still are free.
