Posted this letter to George Blankenship today. Thoughts?
I am a long-time fan of Tesla with an order in for a P85 (VIN: P17616) due to be delivered on August 22. Let me start by acknowledging what an extraordinary thing you all at Tesla are doing for your customers and the world at large. Thank you.
I am writing today because I noticed that Tesla is now offering the Parking Sensors for $500. I would love to add those to my configuration, but I am seeing in the forums that Tesla is only allowing me to add the sensors if I am willing to reconfigure my order, which would cost me several thousand dollars more than my current $114,453.00. I have already arranged financing for this amount. I have already signed the Tesla purchase agreement. All I want to do is install the parking sensors that you are currently offering.
This seems grossly unreasonable. And, in the past, Tesla seems to have always chosen the reasonable course.
Given Tesla's interest in providing world-class customer service to people willing to spend more than $100,000 on a car, I would hope that Tesla would be more accommodating for those few of us who fall between the cracks and have made a commitment, arranged financing, signed the paperwork, but whose car has not been built or delivered yet. I have to believe that the parking sensors will be available as an aftermarket upgrade sometime in the near future (likely at a higher cost than the $500 Design Center option). I also have to believe that it will be more costly to add the $500 parking sensors as a retrofit, since you will likely need to remove the nose cone and rear numbers, drill some holes and install the sensors. If that is the best you can do, I will wait for the retrofit option. However, this seems like a classless solution being offered by a very classy car company. Is there not a compromise between paying thousands of dollars for reconfiguring the car just to get a $500 feature (A feature that probably should have been part of the Tech Package already) and being forced to wait until the car is completed, then have to bring it all the way back to Tesla, wait for days, and pay extra for the retrofit? This doesn't sound like world-class customer service to me.
The minor cost of accomodating those few of us who are in this situation would seem trivial when compared to the loss of image to the elite Tesla Brand. Or, at the very least, would it not be more indicative of world-class service to offer to install these new options in those cars currently going through their builds for some incremental amount above the current Design Center List Price but below the expected retrofit price. Everyone would be a winner and you would once again be viewed as stepping up to another level of customer service.
I hope you can resolve this. In any event, I remain a big fan and a hope to be happy customer driving my P85 very soon. Thank you again for all that you and your employees do for us.
Warm regards,
I find myself closest to @raven's point when all is considered.
Many of you will disagree but the car is what the car is when you push the button and order.
My S85, tech, Pano, sound, air suspension, (102k) configured, is what it is.
I personally am thrilled it will be mine on Thursday and yes, I would love the upgrades but they were simply not there when I ordered.
Ok, upgrading a tech car should be simple and not gouge you, but I ordered what I wanted at the time and I am very happy that in a few short days what I asked for, ordered and am paying for will be mine to drive.
Sure, Tesla should do a better job of announcing new features so that those that care to can wait and order, but, would you want them to stage these upgrades like new models? Something new only every 3 or 4 years?
Would you,like them to wait to upgrade your car with a new tech version only once a year?
Face it... This is all new , and it's new to them too.
Sure, forums are a place to "bark", but , be careful for what you ask for....
I like my upgrade opportunities on the fly... Not staged as an event every 3 or 4 years.
Maybe this will settle some issues for some folks as it did for me...
I just called the Sr. Delivery Specialist, I have his cell phone number. I am really happy that he took my call on a Sunday afternoon, another reason why Tesla is different. He seemed quite knowledgeable about all but one of the new options. He told me quite confidently and in no uncertain terms that the new sound package was the same old "studio" package, just rebranded and repriced to better reflect the value of the product. The same applies to the active air suspension - new name, same product.
He said he wasn't sure about this one, but thought that P85s under the older option structure did come with the extended Nappa leather on the dash, doors, etc., but again he said he wasn't sure and this is an area of some confusion. With regard to the lighting package, he said it's the same as what has been shipping with the P85s but with the addition of two interior lights in the passenger row.
I asked him point blank whether he would stay put or re-price to get the "new" options. He looked at my order, laughed a little, and said to stay put at my price is a total no-brainer. He said that he is not in sales and has no horse in the race, but that $500 in parking sensors are totally not worth paying the increase in cost and considering that I'm already getting 90% of what is now being sold at additional cost.
That made me feel a whole lot better about not changing my order and staying put.
I was told that the extended napa leather was a new option
Another update - got a call from Tesla Headquarters today (OK, so they get points for calling on a Sunday afternoon...) wanting to answer my questions about adding the parking sensors to my Model S that has been ordered but still at the "sourcing parts" stage, that I'd emailed my local Tesla rep about earlier.
He reiterated what's been said here - I had the option to re-configure from scratch and add the sensors, or stick with my current order. When I pointed out that would cost $7,500 more, he too said that didn't sound like a very good deal, and I should stick with my current order and enjoy my "early adopter discount".
Also, he confirmed that the audio system, leather seats, and interior lighting options are identical to the previous P85 configuration, only that they were "re-priced to better reflect their true value" or something like that. Didn't ask specifically about the extended Nappa though.
Still not happy, but like AmpedRealtor above, made me feel a little better about the situation, and about Tesla as a company.
Oh, and the guy said to check back with him in about 30 days because he'd have a lot more information about a possible retrofit option for the parking sensors with pricing details. I gotta think it'll be less than $7,500...
Early adopter discount. I have to remember that one. What will the price be in Dec. 2013. may want to sell my 2011 volt and try out a tesla but not right now.
I that the same for the old S60 config also
Well, it sounds like they are definitely NOT going to offer any options for those of us stuck in this situation. I just heard back just now from Jerome.
The only options he said Tesla would offer for those in this situation are these below:
- Build and deliver the car as ordered (no parking sensors)
- Reconfigure the car with its current options plus the parking sensors and re-price the entire car
- Reconfigure the car to a different set of options which include the parking sensors but is closer in price to the original car
I guess the best that we can hope for is some retrofit option that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and fairly easy to add in.
He ended the email asking how I wanted to proceed and as with most people, I've opted to move forward without them.
I did ask Jerome when there might be some announcement on a possible retrofit option after I get the car and what it might cost? So I'll post back once I hear.
One thing I'll say about George and Jerome and some of the management.... they are extremely hard workers. No one can take that from them. Jerome is still in the office on a sunday night.
The retrofit option sounds like it will be expensive. In Jerome's words, "Retrofit should be possible, but it might be quite expensive. The fascia are likely needing to be replaced, since the holes need to be made by a special sonic punch machine, which is located in our Fremont facility".
So it sounds like in the future if a retrofit was needed it might have to be done there in Fremont. Ouch.
Here's the official word from Jerome in response to my letter:
I am the VP of sales and service, reporting to Elon. Thank you very much for your order of a Model S. We are looking forward to building and delivering the car for you in the coming weeks.
I appreciate your interest in adding the parking sensor to your existing order. Unfortunately, we cannot add this new feature to an order with the "old" prices: the entire vehicle would have to be re-priced. Price, options, and terms are all set at the same time, similarly to other companies.
We can consider some possibilities with you:
- Build and deliver the car as ordered (no parking sensors)
- Reconfigure the car with its current options plus the parking sensors and re-price the entire car
- Reconfigure the car to a different set of options which include the parking sensors but is closer in price to the original car
Please let us know how you would like to proceed. We appreciate your support. Best regards,
Jerome Guillen I VP for service and sales operations. Model S program director I email@example.com I 45500 Fremont boulevard, Fremont CA 94538 I tel 650.681.5390 I mobile 503.970.5217
Yep Thorens. I got the same identical email from Jerome. I do have to give him credit for staying in the office on a Sunday to email us back.
Originally I was going to just go ahead with my order as planned. But in hearing his follow up email about it probably being a "quite expensive" option to retrofit the PDC, I think I might go ahead and reconfigure as crazy as that sounds.
It will be more expensive but I might want to bite the bullet now and do it rather than later because Jerome made it sound like it won't be a simple retrofit and could take time and it does NOT sound cheap.
I didn't like the red piping on the Performance leather seats anyway so I could get rid of that but I think I'd pretty much keep everything else.
I'd love to hear some thoughts on reconfiguring assuming that a retrofit is NOT going to be easy or cheap?
I just asked Jerome assuming I DO reconfigure and pay the more expensive price, what the timing would be because I was getting conflicting information. With one person saying it wouldn't change the date and another saying several weeks delay.
So for those of you in my situation I asked him to please let me know and give me an ACCURATE estimate on timing assuming I reconfigure.
My thinking is I'm the type of person that doesn't change cars too often. The retrofit option definitely doesn't sound like it will be cheap or easy and I can't imagine not having it for many years as much as I parallel park. The safety aspect of it as well having young kids is worth it to me to have.
Let's see what timing estimate to gives. He said he would get back to me tomorrow.
"VP of sales and service" ?? - I thought George was VP of sales. Or did Jerome just put sales as short hand for sales operations?
I'm not going to indulge in speculation...
I understand how frustrating this can be, but as a Model S owner that took delivery 2 weeks ago, take it from me and just get the car and enjoy the lower price, the car is awesome and you will be very happy with it. Also, coming from a previous car with PDC and no camera, to the Tesla with rear camera and no PDC, the camera is more than adequate and actually better than PDC. This sort of options change happens all the time with all car companies, nearly every model year, as well as price increases. I pre ordered my last car in 2011 as a 2012 model year because I wanted some of the newer options, but paid not only the higher 2012 price, I couldn't negotiate much on the price because the dealer had a lot full of 2011 models they wanted to unload. Just be glad you're saving several thousand dollars and enjoy it until you get your next Tesla which I know will be a better car than the last one.
As for the retrofit option, I hope they do offer it and I definitely don't buy the concept that they need to drill the holes in the panels at the factory. They could definitely drill those in the field. Selling upgrades like this would be very unusual for a car company, but Tesla is not a normal car company, so I hope they go forward with it. It may help values stay high, which will also help them sell more new cars as I don't think too many people will buy a new $100k car just to get some of the new options.
I received the exact word for word email from Jerome as well. I'm impressed with his quick response but I'm still disappointed with the solutions ( or same solutions as before ). :(
I received the same cut-and-past email from Jerome too. :)
Is there an anybody re-configuring with the "Ultra High Fidelity Sound" upgrade? I'll probably leave it out, because it is hard to justify the price going from $950 to $2500 if the components are exactly the same. The new specs list the basic system as 200W 7 speakers.
Well there you have it. This one can now be put to bed. Case closed.
I originally ordered the sound package but if I decide to reconfigure I am NOT going to add the sound package this time around. On the test drive it wasn't I pressure to me. But for $950 it was semi worth it but I don't feel the same way at $2,500.
The only things I won't add if I reconfigure is Performance seating as I didn't like the red piping anyway and the sound. But adding everything else. I'm waiting to hear how long the delay would be.
Looking at all of the new numbers, I've never been so happy not to have something.
As an owner I hate to say this:
You've been screwed by TM, and you should get used to it.
There almost certainly won't be a retrofit option. If there is, then it will likely cost the same as if you recalculated your order with the higher prices and sensors.
TM is making this type of behavior a habit. It's SO disappointing! I'm glad I got the buyback guarantee. Unless TM begins to make amends for this behavior, I'll be selling my car back in 36 months.
Just imagine what will happen when your warranty expires. You're going to get f#^*ed...and you better like it.
I'm not sure what prompted your attitude toward Tesla, but this issue does not warrant your attitude. Tesla made it clear when these people ordered what car they would get. Everything was agreed upon, and Tesla didn't try to change anything after the fact.
Someone who wants parking sensors is basically saying to Tesla: Yes, I agreed to buy this car at this price, but now that I've seen this new thing, I want to amend our agreement so I get something else I want, and I want to get that something on the same terms you are offering to someone else who is paying more for the car.
What would you say if after an agreement was made, Tesla suddenly decided that they wanted to change the agreement to get something new that they wanted? Would they have the right to complain if you wanted to just go through with the original agreement? "We noticed that you paid a higher margin on your BMW, so now we want the same margin on your car, so please pony up another 2k..." Would you stand for that? I don't think so.
Fairness has to go both ways.
I hate so say this, but I kinda agree with eAdopter. I feel the new price increase reflects that the company is under tremendous amount of pressure from stock shareholders. Tesla needs to hit their promised 25% profit sooner than later.
I understand there will be new features added to newer models but I don't recall seeing 10+% price hike from year to year from other luxury cars. When is the last time you see a high demand luxury car permanently raised the manufactured car price due to higher demand?
Yes firerock, the manufacturers don't usually raise the price due to high demand. That is the job of the dealers! They ask for a ridiculous price, and if you refuse, they go to the next name on the list. People paid 20% more than I did for my Subaru because it had just come out when they got it, and was in high demand.
I've now been screwed by TM twice and I'm sick of it. I love the car. The SC teams and service are good. But I don't agree TM corporate is treating people well. In fact, I've now read many stories that disappoint me - far too many.
This is not MB or BMW, well established brands. People purchasing a Model S are putting a lot(!) of faith and money into a company that could evaporate in a year or two. I think TM needs to reciprocate by making these purchases more(!) than just good. Every purchase experience needs to be excellent(!) or TM will lose the public trust. The entire world is watching.
A purchaser who's car is not yet in production shoould get the sensor upgrade for $500. This is how TM can show the world it's world-class, not money-grubbing. They need to provide fair warning of price increases. One way or another, every purchase must be right.
I'm an owner. I'm a shareholder. I expect nothng less.
+1 EcLectric
In general, expectation management is key.
Customers want to be able to anticipate what's coming.
As I said before: some kind of roadmap about future developments -both large and small- would lay a basis for further communication. Internal as well as external.
Being as open as you possibly can, without hurting your marketing plans.
For example: a development release schedule with functional descriptions.
Tesla has to walk a fine line...
Although, the high level of transparancy would set them apart from the competition and fit greatly into their direct/internet business model and strategy. The transparancy would work as a platform for (prospect) customers's faith to grow into trust. That future options can be retrofitted/upgraded at a fair price, if technically possible.
O, and yes, I am a con-sult-ant. Indeed knowing things better and here to both con and insult... hahaha
(@Tesla: should you need some more assistance with extra conning and/or insulting to be done, I would be available for y'all. My hourly rate has at least 3 numbers before the dot. After signing me on I would tell you that's in euros and EU notation, not US... hahaha dot is 1000 and comma is decimal separator)
O, should you wonder what the ant part of consultant stands for:
we're so busy, we have to write time with each of our 8 legs concurrant(ly?).
Oops, forgot to press the key before posting for grammar/spell checking... hahaha
How is TM not treating you well, I am about to pick this fine automobile up next week and getting everything that I had asked for. You on the other hand do have a choice. Fact of the matter is, you want PDC's for $500.00 and what about the poor guy who is ordering now, is that fair for him..no. Keep innovating TM, you obviously have come out with options that every one wants but some don't want to pay for.
PDC is a safety item that should have been included with the Model S from the beginning. It not only aids in parking, but also prevents injuries. Anybody who has small kids, pets has to watch out for accidents. With my Model S, I have to make sure my young kids are not around the car, before I drive away. Of course, I have done this even before PDCs showed up. However, PDCs do add a layer of safety. This is not about upgrading a sound system, leather interior, wheels, etc after the order has been placed or the car delivered.
I understand Tesla management has a business to run and have to make a profit to continue developing BEVs and invest in factories. However, I feel that safety items should be available for upgrade at reasonable prices.
While this is price change was surprise to most of us, there seems to be a general sentiment that Tesla deliberately and maliciously sprung this on unsuspecting owners to satisfy the demands of the wall street fat cats.
Tesla has a multi-year business plan stretching out at least as far as 2017 and probably well beyond and with the exception of a few delays seems to have been executing it pretty well. Most decisions seem to have been made years ago, and it wouldn't surprise me if this decision was the same.
Given the very strong statements Elon made about 25% gross margin a long time ago, it is quite possible if not probable that this change was always planned, and that the nuances of exactly which spec cars and which options would be most/least common are the only things that have affected the decision.
As an owner I clearly want Tesla to succeed in the long term. There has to be a balance between the harsh realities of running a multi-billion $$ public business and meeting the expectations of every customer.
Yet again Tesla have REALLY screwed up communications, and the implementation of a change. Could they have handled it better? Absolutely. Would the price still have changed? Absolutely.
Tesla needs to get a new head of communications and sort that mess out, but that's about the only take away I've got from this. This is still a new company in a very speculative business. Things are always going to change.

Encouraged and inspired by the overwhelming international response to the on-line petition "savelapetitebande.com" (spring 2009), we decided to start a foundation: "Support La Petite Bande". Through the foundation we can develop a way to be less dependent on increasingly uncertain government subsidies, and to be able to handle any financial shortfalls without having to compromise our artistic objectives.
A great many people, like you, have subtly sensed what is important to La Petite Bande in its work; accordingly, we hope that we can count on such kindred spirits as you for some devoted support.
Message by Sigiswald Kuijken
As you might know, for reasons that are not properly understood the Flemish Government terminated its guaranteed annual financial support for La Petite from January 1st 2013: we are the only Belgian orchestra to be treated in this manner, despite our international reputation and extensive discography and contribution to Belgian, European and indeed worldwide musical life. The loss of Government financial support has put La Petite Bande in serious financial difficulties, and we are all working very hard to raise money to ensure that our unique orchestra can continue its work. We are sure that we will succeed, but to do so we need your support, to ensure that we will be able to continue our work and make music!
More information on the three options to support the orchestra, as explained by Sigiswald, can be found here:

The Christmas Oratorio (J.S. Bach) is released
The Christmas Oratorio (BWV 248) by J.S.Bach is released by Challenge Classics, CC72394. The Christmas Oratorio is a series of 6 separate cantatas, collectively relating the story from Christmas through to Twelfth Night. Bach wrote the work in Leipzig in 1734 and 1735 for Christmas Day (I), Boxing day (II), the third day of Christmas (III), New Year (IV), the Sunday after New Year (V) and Twelfth Night (VI). As with the Passions, the texts here are drawn from three sources: (1) the evangelical texts (primarily Luke and Matthew) intoned by the Evangelist (tenor) as recitatives, (2) chorales from the Lutheran tradition and (3) free texts for arias and some choral passages, written by the poet Picander.

An industrial parts manufacturer is facing $188,300 in proposed penalties after workers were allegedly exposed to lead, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said.
Spectrum Machine Inc. has been cited with 13 health violations—10 serious and three willful—after a January OSHA inspection at the Ravenna, OH, facility found workers were exposed to lead and copper fumes above permissible limits and did not receive training on lead hazards, OSHA announced Aug. 7.
A January inspection at Spectrum Machine's Ravenna, OH, facility found workers exposed to lead and copper above permissible limits, OSHA said.
Spectrum Machine manufactures industrial bearing parts and operates two facilities in Ohio. The company's Streetboro facility was previously cited in 2006 for 13 violations, including allowing worker exposure to lead in excess of the permissible exposure limit, according to OSHA.
"Failing to monitor worker exposure to airborne metal particles can result in severe illness," said Howard Eberts, OSHA's area director in Cleveland.
"By failing to develop a lead protection and hazard communication program, Spectrum Machine has demonstrated a lack of commitment to employee safety and health," Eberts said.
Spectrum Machine did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday (Aug. 21).
The company has been placed in OSHA's Severe Violator Enforcement Program, which mandates targeted follow-up inspections and focuses on "recalcitrant employers that endanger workers by committing willful, repeat, or failure-to-abate violations."
Willful Violations
Willful violations, those committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or plain indifference to employee safety and health, included failure to:
Serious Violations
Serious violations, those that occur when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard the employer knew or should have known about, included failure to:
OSHA has put the company in its Severe Violator Enforcement Program, which focuses on "recalcitrant employers."
Spectrum Machine has 15 business days from receipt of the citations to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

CORRECTION: iPod Classic didn't get a downgraded screen
Monday, September 14, 2009 - 10:37am
We recently reported that the second generation of the iPod Classic had a lower screen resolution than the 1G. Looks like we got our streams crossed: both the 1G and the 2G iPod Classic resolutions are the same. There was no step down from the previous generation to the current product line.
We've gone back and corrected our tables for the new iPod Classic.

Selling Business Ebooks: Aaron Wall reveals his secrets
February 14, 2008 | 4:39 pm
By Robert Nagle
In his SEO blog SEO expert Aaron Wall gives an in-depth rundown on how to monetize your ebook. He talks about how the label as ebook author might actually hurt him in the long run:
Ebooks, by and large, are perceived to be of low quality because most are of low quality. If that wasn't bad enough, Google made a blog post essentially voting against ebooks, grouping ebook sites amongst sites that may merit a low quality score. While the strength of my blog and brand means that Google is not likely to ban my business model, their indictment of the ebook field as a whole, and their power over the web, indicate that there is great risk is staying branded as an ebook author/ publisher.
(By quality, I think Wall is referring not to content quality but SEO value according to google's algorithm).
He noticed that more video has increased ebook sales:
When I first started publishing how to videos to this site my sales doubled. And I thought it was maybe an anomaly. So I tested it again and again. Almost every time I published video content to this site my sales doubled, which is my customers and prospective customers telling me they prefer that content format more than what I was traditionally publishing.
In his article he mentions that 12,000 people bought his $79 PDF ebook off his site (you can do the math). I've paid and downloaded the no-DRM ebook; It's well-organized and well-written and current, but the information is hardly earth-shattering or something you couldn't find in the blogosphere. But I appreciate the fact that Wall updates the information on a semi-regular basis (old SEO information is useless). Also, Aaron Wall offers a 90 day guarantee which is reassuring to someone on the fence about buying.
(I read the ebook by converting the PDF into mobipocket and reading it on the Cybook. There are minor layout and graphic problems, but for the most part it is perfectly readable).
Business ebooks belong in a totally different category (they are mainly extensions of an established consulting service), but his first-person account is instructive. For example, Wall is pleasantly indifferent to pirated copies available on torrents or outdated editions available for sale in China; he says, "it is hard to put all that transferable knowledge in one book. And I would rather have one great product than many watered down ones."
Wall has shown that it's possible for a single individual to handle all the backend stuff of writing something, converting it into an ebook, updating it, creating a promotional site and continuing to deliver value through SEO tools, tutorials and blogposts. For the time being, at least, he's doing perfectly fine without having to partner with Random House or O'Reilly.
Wall's book on SEO and Internet marketing seems to undermine Marie Campbell's contention that ebooks require a lower price point to take off.
Now here's the $64,000 question: which of his "lessons learned" apply to "plain Jane" nonbusiness ebooks?
Thanks for the mention and the great post Robert.
From my perspective there are 4 pieces to this part
>(By quality, I think Wall is referring not to content quality but SEO value according to google's algorithm).
1.) In internet marketing a lot of the information is garbage. Affiliate marketing ebooks with watered down information and chuck full of affiliate links to upsell you into 50 different products you don't need. Some merchants even give affiliates ebooks to promote their products, and the ebook is nothing more than a salesletter in disguise.
2.) Even if some of the ebooks in group 1 contained some amount of basic truth to them, they are rarely updated. As the field becomes more about preselling an experienc, building trust, establishing relationshps, and getting word of mouth coverage, some internet marketing products are still telling you to use blog spam or forum spam or that AdoWords is simple, easy, and free money.
3.) I put 10,0000+ hours of work into building up my blog, studying the field of SEO, and helping people via email. That allows me to create a sustainable product that keeps selling. Many internet marketing based business models for information products are marketed via hollow hype and don't have any content to back them up.
4.) Since it is so easy to clone someone's look and feel, and because there are few internet marketing websites selling ebooks with a backdrop of useful information, many people sell books on how to do topic x long before they knew how to do topic x and long before they had much experience in topic x. Honestly the first copy of my book was nowhere near as good as it could have been, but I thought it was great back then with the knowledge that I then had.
I almost forgot this last one
.5) Since the people who share information for free typically have higher perceived value, and since video is often seen as a higher value medium, … the people who leverage those 2 will be able to charge more. Since Google's ads (and many other types of ad buys and affiliate partnerships) are based on market efficiency, the person with the better business model keeps winning affiliates and exposure at the expense of the thinner sites using more traditional models. And the person charging more gets higher quality customers. Plus look how cheap most books are compared the their quality (as I think this limits how much you can charge for ebooks, at least to some extent). Amazing life-changing books can be bought for $15 on Amazon.com. In that environment it gets hard to charge $500 for an ebook, but you could charge $500 for a video training system.
>(although in the last few years, the editions have not changed as much)
That is the part where the book container / model starts to fall apart when compared to subscription based business models.
I'm a fan of ebooks that are written correctly. I'm not a fan of ebooks that are written just for advertising and promotional purposes.
As a personal mentor to home business owners and multi-level marketers, I find that the best ebooks are best studied as a group with shared input and feedback. Our group, for example, is currently studying The Master Key System.
People are getting more out of that because memory retention is better when active discussion takes place!
Thanks for a great blog!

200 Block of Gay Street Closing Oct. 15
October 14, 2009
- Beginning Thursday, October 15, the 200 Block of S. Gay Street will be closed for construction as part of the ongoing Gay Street Streetscapes Project.
The section of Gay Street lies between Summit Hill and Vine Avenue and it will be closed for up to three months for the reconstruction of the street and sidewalks.
Vine Avenue will remain open across Gay Street during construction.
While the road will be closed for the duration of the project one of the sidewalks will always be open for pedestrian traffic. The west sidewalk will be closed for construction first leaving the sidewalk on the east side of the street open for foot traffic.
The new sidewalks will be wider and the street narrower than the existing ones and the work on the 200 Block will preview the eventual reconstruction of Gay Street and the sidewalks from Summit Hill all the way down to Jackson Avenue.
Its really going to be a little example of what well have when we finish, said Rick Emmett, the citys urban growth manager.
In addition to the reconstruction of the street and sidewalks the near $4 million Gay Street Streetscapes Project includes electrical infrastructure improvements and sidewalk improvements like trees, street furniture and bike racks.
The 100 Block of Gay Street was raised more than a story above the original street in 1919 and sits atop a bridge-like support structure. This is the first major maintenance work on the street since it was raised 90 years ago.

LUSH Dirty fragrance
Average Rating 3.8/5
Review by felgoj
Fragrance notes: Spearmint, thyme, tarragon, sandalwood, lavender. YUM! I know this fragrance is geared toward men but it smells wonderful & for sure the Lush catalog is right when it says that you'll want to use your boyfriend's Dirty for yourself. Initially, as described, I get the sense of some aroma of garbage (yuck, too earthy for me - probably the thyme & tarragon, since I have those spices in my kitchen & they have that certain earthy aroma) but in a quick minute the 'dirty' smell gives way to a most delightful scent of mint that lingers for quite a while. The scent is clean & fresh on my skin yet @ the same time has a lot of warmth to it. That's what makes the whole purchase worthwhile. The lavender mixes in very nicely, barely noticeable it but it makes a difference in the mint effect. It can be layered w/any other fragrance you like that mixes well w/this type of scent (I love doing that). I actually like layering this w/Lush Vanillary. I appreciate that the mint note is not sharp like strong peppermint toothpaste, but it's a creamy soft mint that makes me think of middle school yrs when I used to wear Spearmint Chapstick & used to chew Wrigley's DoubleMint gum. A fresh scent, not overly sweet (hence quite unisex). I bought the small 1/3 oz (9 ml) purse-size cylinder tube spray (black aluminum-brushed glass, according to what the SA told me) & this perfume line is made by Gorilla. So far, I'm really liking this cool scent for hot summer weather. I would rate it 4.5 - it's hard to choose btwn 4 (upleasant initially dirty smell) & 5 (fresh mint takes over quickly). Nothing about this scent is overpowering though, it's very much a soft skin scent altogether, & it lasts long enough to not have to re-spray every 10 minutes like some of my other unfortunate fragrances.

Dumb.com » Riddles» During a baseball game in Mudville Casey was Mudville's lead-off batter. There were no substitutions or changes in the batting order of the nine Mudville men throughout the nine-inning game. It turned out that Casey came to bat in every inning.What is the least number of runs Mudville could have scored?
Answer: Zero. In the first inning Casey and the next two batters walk and the next three strike out. In the second inning, the first three walk again, which brings Casey back to bat. But each runner is caught off base by the pitcher, so Casey is back at the plate at the start of the third inning. This pattern is now repeated until the game ends with no joy in Mudville, even though the mighty Casey never once strikes out.

Definition of FAIENCE
: earthenware decorated with opaque colored glazes
Variants of FAIENCE
fa·ience or fa·ïence \fā-ˈän(t)s, fī-, -ˈäⁿs\
Origin of FAIENCE
French, from Faenza, Italy
First Known Use: 1714
faiencenoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Tin-glazed earthenware made in France, Germany, Spain, and Scandinavia, similar to Faenza majolica, for which it was named. The term is also applied to glazed earthenware made in ancient Egypt, where it was used for beads, amulets, jewelry, and small animal and human figures, most notably the blue-glazed hippopotamus figures of the Middle Kingdom (c. 2000–c. 1670 BC). Faience tiles, first made in the early dynasties, were used to decorate the walls of the subterranean chambers of the pyramids. In the New Kingdom (c. 1550–c. 1070 BC), polychrome tiles with floral designs were used in houses and palaces.

Football: Gerrard's late show caps Liverpool fightback
Published on Feb 13, 2014 6:34 AM
LONDON (AFP) - Steven Gerrard kept his cool to turn up the heat on Liverpool's Premier League title rivals as the midfielder's late penalty clinched a dramatic 3-2 win against Fulham on Wednesday.
With seconds of normal time remaining, Reds captain Gerrard stepped up to score from the penalty spot after Sascha Riether fouled Daniel Sturridge.
Gerrard's winner capped an impressive fightback from the visitors, who trailed 1-0 and 2-1, while also cementing Liverpool's hold on fourth place and lifting them to within four points of leaders Chelsea.
Brendan Rodgers' men were twice forced to come from behind on a bizarre evening at Craven Cottage.

Manchester City youngster Marcos Lopes excited by first FA Cup goal
Manchester City debutant Marcos Lopes couldn't hide his delight after scoring his first goal for the club against Watford.
Lopes, a Portuguese attacking midfielder who turned 17 only last week.
Mancini, only 16 when he made his Serie A debut, had been planning to give Lopes his debut for some time and the player, a late substitute in the dying minutes, was dumbstruck at his achievement.
He told the club's website: "It was my first game for the first team and my first goal. I have no words to express my feelings.
"I trained on Friday and the coach told me I was in the squad to play but to come on after 86 minutes and score a goal... I have no words to explain it."
Carlos Tevez's rocket of a free-kick which fizzed into the net from 25 yards opened the scoring and Gareth Barry's header just before the break "knocked the stuffing out of Watford", to use City assistant manager David Platt's words.
City's thoughts will now turn to once more trying to rein in league leaders Manchester United. Mancini's men did so last season, and Spanish midfielder David Silva said the target was to cut the gap by the end of February.
Silva said: "It won't be easy but our challenge is to be back level with Manchester United by the end of February.
"Last year we saw how they were in front by quite a lot of points and we won the league anyway, so it can be done." Watford will now concentrate on promotion to the top flight but manager Gianfranco Zola insisted the six changes he made were enforced rather than a case of resting players for the league.
"I believe it was the best team I could put out," he said.
Zola worked with 22-year-old Balotelli and insists the striker can be a "fantastic" player - if his talent can be successfully mastered.
He said: "I have an affection for him. I have worked with him for the under-21s and I do care about him and I do hope his potential is fulfilled.
"It's how to master that potential. I do hope he gets to that position as he will be a fantastic player. I am talking about what he can do to improve his situation but it's not down to me to say how.
"It's just that this is a young man with a lot of potential who can shine."

Installing Pandigital software on Vista laptop (no disc)
Saturday 26th of May 2012
I bought the Pandigital Novel 7" black from 1SaleADay a few weeks ago. It's new, not refurbished. 1SaleADay always sells old outdated stuff, but i have never really had a problem as I'm good w/ this stuff and can figure stuff out. Well the Novel came with NO DISC and I cannot install the drivers/software onto my Vista laptop. Normally the drivers are installed automatically on stuff like this, but I'm getting asked to insert a disc or do it myself. (I can't remember exactly what I get told at the moment, but either way, I have yet to get the thing hooked up to my computer to d/l books onto it. I have a ton of books I want to read and CAN'T! Can anyone help? Was there NEVER a disc for the PN 7"? Where do I get the software for it? Thank you!

Pandigital Novel 7 White Fix?
Monday 08th of April 2013
Hi:I have been searching for days looking for the answer to the problem with my Pandigital ereader. I tried to update the firmware by using the Open Platform.kit. Of course as with most other people, it caused my screen to go black and it will not boot back up. I hear noises but it will not start back up. I have done it all from flash, holding power/vol +, unpluging the battery, replugging it in, changing MICROSD Card, trying over and over again all type of firmware update and till this very day, NOTHING HAS WORKED! Has anyone found a solution other than taking it back? Someone gave it to my daughter, we have no receipt or a way to send it back. Any successful solutions would really help a lot!Ronni

Problem with a Pandigital Novel? Help~
Friday 03rd of August 2012
PLEASE READ THISMy little cousin got a Panditgital Novel White about 3 days ago and it was working fine. Yesterday, he experienced some lag, and pushed the back button like 5 time and the tablet rebooted itself (went to the startup "Pandigital Novel" page when you turn it on so I assume it rebooted) but it wouldnt stop loading the tablet. I expect that the problem was due to him running a few apps at once and he overloaded it, given the Novels small ram capacity. Whatever the case it's now stuck in a loop where it won't come on past the start up screen. We've removed the battery cabled then re-plugged it back in, reset it, and turn it on and off but still nothing. It has not been flashed or modded in any way, so it may just be a bum tablet. But I wanted to check and see if someone knew how to fix it before we return it for another one.

SIMS is a tough path, but ultimately rewarding (usually!). You'll find plenty of know-how here.
You should also join Capita's own SupportNet forum SupportNet
As for you issue, unfortunately, it's not easy to remove that permission, because then they would not be able to take their own registers. Why are they even bothering to go into someone else's register?
There are some situations where you do want they to overwrite marks, and certain settings in SIMS will do this automatically. e.g. someone is marked as N then later turns up late to the next lesson. You might want the session mark to be marked as present for firedrill purposes.
There were some rules introduced in the last update, that governs when say the school admin enters a mark in advance, then in certain circumstances that can't be overwritten by a teacher. So the marks have a weighting of sorts.
I don't think any of this applies in your case though. What sort of marks are they changing?

News Release
LINCROFT, N.J -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency's primary mission is to help citizens and first responders prepare for, respond to and recover from all manner of disasters. To that end, FEMA takes the disbursement of necessary funds to the proper parties very seriously. People who intentionally try to defraud the government are taking money away from those who truly need assistance. FEMA must ensure that taxpayer dollars go only to people who incurred legitimate losses. This may include prosecuting anyone who makes a fraudulent claim.
