Tesla Motors on a mission to hire American veterans - San Jose Mercury News
Important article.
Thanks for posting.
Outstanding. I didn't know Tesla is a leader at hiring and supporting veterans. Thanks for posting this important story.
I just hope that employers remember that Vietnam veterans also served their country. For people over 55 it's much more difficult to get rehired compared to the younger veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan who are in the age group employers want.
Very cool. As I tried to do as an entrepreneur and exec, finding a way to be a very efficient and productive organization that is also a great place to work and an example-setting corporate citizen, is ultimately greatly rewarding.
Nothing to do with corporate citizenship. Tesla hires smart.
But this is my point. Often people think that doing humane things is somehow not "smart" in business. I do not agree, and have found this to be false. Just as "smart" transportation is sustainable transportation, smart HR is sustainable HR. Not only are vets good employees, but the have been a neglected population. Smart management can solve social ills while building a strong and efficient organization. These two goals are not mutually exclusive, or even in fundamental conflict.
Well said.
I wish more businesses would see that concept.
This has nothing to do with being humane. As the article notes, veterans have good hiring rates because of their skills. Tesla has identified that the commitment they show is of particular value so have actively focused on hiring veterans. It's actually ironic, given the situation with SpaceX and the Air Force.
Excellent article! Kudos to Tesla!!
Veterans also understand the importance of confidentiality. That is very important in many industries.
Now if only they had open computer security jobs me and Tesla would get along nicely

Camo Model S for Veterans Day : teslamotors
Next you can envision the Model S as a police car...
A couple of years ago BMW opened a new manufacturing plant somewhere in Germany and they intentionally hired 50+ and even some 60+ folk too. Hiring only young people also means that you don't have any experienced people who can pass on their skills, and some years down the line they will also all retire around the same time, which will also make it harder to pass on knowledge.
very nice!

Is hormone imbalance preventing you from having beautiful skin? I struggled for years, actually decades with acne, and sore broken-out skin. Skin problems are distressing because they're easily visible to others and difficult to conceal. What's more the appearance of our skin is closely linked to our sense of beauty and femininity. Battling a skin condition can really affect our self-esteem.
I had acne on my face, my back and on my chest. It was awful. I never felt comfortable wearing a bathing suit or a top that dipped lower in the front. I endured this heartbreak myself, and the only solution was antibiotics that I refused to take. I tried all the creams, drying lotions and topical acne treatments I could find, and none of them worked.
Like many women with PCOS, I experienced oily skin, acne, and frequent breakouts causing me constant embarrassment. PCOS can cause other skin problems besides acne, too. Some women develop skin tags, which are thickened lumps of skin typically occurring in the armpits, on the neck, or along the bra line.
Another skin condition associated with PCOS is acanthosis nigricans. This is characterized by rough, dark, velvety patches of skin. These patches are especially noticeable when they occur on the face.
What do these different skin conditions have in common? They share the same underlying cause: insulin resistance. When cells become resistant to the effects of insulin or getting blood sugar into our cells, the body is stimulated to produce even more insulin. The increase in circulating insulin levels wreaks havoc on your skin. Insulin resistance doesn't just harm your skin; your whole body, your health and well-being all suffer from the effects of insulin resistance.
Whatever skin-related symptoms you're experiencing, I want to assure you that there is hope. As you can see I was able to clear my skin completely, but it was a long hard road. Here at Insulite Health, we've done all the research for you, and we've seen many women in our community heal from devastating skin conditions.
Reversing insulin resistance and getting your skin back to beautiful takes a 5 step, integrated approach. The first step is giving your body the right nutrients to help our cells get more insulin sensitive. The second step is learning how to use food as medicine to lower blood sugar and restore insulin sensitivity. The third step is learning how to use movement as medicine to relieve stress instead of cause the body stress through the right types of hormone balancing exercise. The 4th step is understanding cravings and how to manage them better so you don't go for the foods that can blood sugar swings that cause horrible skin conditions. And the fifth step is having a support community to help you stay on track.
We call this the PCOS 5-Element System. It's proven to help you get your hormones balanced in a step-by-step approach to lower inflammation to heal your skin. We call this the 5% Solution. Taking small steps over time to reach your health goals.
We've done all the research for you. Thousands of women over the years have successfully used, and are still using, the PCOS 5-Element System. You can learn more about this System here on our website at www.pcos.com. Come join our beautiful community. We're here to support you every step of the way.
Could the symptoms you are suffering with be PCOS? Take the PCOS Test and find out!

After posting a link to a new article in the New Republic entitled Sexual Assault at God's Harvard in social media today, Eric Pazdziora drew attention to it. (Eric is an exceptionally talented musician, composer, and graduate student who was a featured contributor to the book, Quivering Daughters and has written much on the topic.)
Note: Patrick Henry College (PHC) designed for homeschoolers by the founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association and was referenced in as "God's Harvard" in the title of Hanna Rosin's book.
One of Eric's thoughtful commenters admonished us all to remember that these folks involved in this faction of the Christian Homeschooling and Quiverfull Movements are our fellow brethren – regardless of how offended we are about what happens to the victims. Though I would argue that many under that tent preach another gospel in many cases, I was reminded of an article that I wrote for Andrew Sandlin's ethics journal a few years ago. I concluded it as noted below.
Pray it with me if you're the praying sort and you feel so inclined.

I concluded it as noted below.
Pray it with me if you're the praying sort and you feel so inclined.
From the article The Problematic Patriarchal Paradigm for Women featured in Fidelity: Biblical Faith in Family, Church and Culture:
The Christian woman living the balanced live manifests wisdom in the knowledge of the Word of God, applies the Word in faith apart from prescribed cultural formulas, brings glory to God through her ever more Christ-like and transformed conduct, and boldly speaks the life-transforming message of the Gospel to a desperate and dying world. Such a Christian woman's unique gifts and callings largely determine how her actions will manifest all that God has poured into her. For the woman who finds her identity in Christ alone and not in identification with a prescribed group standard that is maintained through role performance, her life in the Kingdom of God is not eating, drinking, or even concerns of gender, but instead follows an agenda of righteousness, peace and joy under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14).
The Apostle Paul addressed both legalism and God's purposes in darkening the understanding of the Jews in order that salvation might come to the Gentiles. Although grace and salvation first came through the Jewish people to the Gentiles, these Gentiles were called to minister grace and the Gospel to the Jews so that both believing Jew and Gentile would find mercy and salvation. These gifts and callings of God unto salvation are irrevocable (Rom. 11).
Just as Paul describes the tension between Jewish legalism and New Covenant liberty which resulted in ministry to both Jew and Gentile, I fervently pray that the disparities between those who reject the aberrant patriarchy described here and those who embrace it will miraculously work salvation and ministry within the whole Body of Christ in the fullness of time.
By commitment to the rightful dividing and applying of the word of truth with all diligence to matters concerning gender, the tension created by the differences in the interpretation of Scripture can teach us balance within the Body of Christ which will mature and benefit the whole Body (Prov. 27:17).
May the diverse gifts that the Spirit bestows uniquely upon all of God's beloved women serve to edify the whole Body of Christ, exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think. When the curtains of this temporal life close, may both patriarchalist and non-patriarchalist alike be found within the embrace of God's mercy and saving grace, bringing us together into unity of the Faith (Eph. 4:13).
Notice a Pattern?
In light of other abuses coming to light concerning Bill Gothard (more than 30 young women including minors who reported sexual abuse by "his eminence, Brother Bill," my heart is heavy. Recovering Grace (a organization of survivors of Bill Gothard's little empire) has given me permission to repost one of their articles about the matter concerning Gothard, as I find the subject so painful and chilling that I don't know what to say about it here. I have yet to post it. (I have a whole compendium of indexed posts and links concerning Bill Gothard HERE.)
This follows on the heels of the dissolution of Vision Forum because of the scandal involving Doug Phillips, the former associate of Patrick Henry College's founder and chancellor, Michael Farris. (I also have a compendium of indexed posts and related links about Vision Fourm HERE.)
Yet another related matter that I intended to write about concerns Bob Jones University's (BJU) firing of the team of investigators, attorneys, psychologists, and child abuse prosecutors who were hired to investigate the preponderance of claims that the school failed to report felonies, most notably, reported physical and sexual abuse. It is presumed that the school hired the "GRACE" team (Godly Response to Abuse in a Christian Environment) to assuage concerns about their practices. ABC aired an episode of 20/20 which documented the widespread problem in 2011, and the. issue at the school culminated into a student protest called "Do Right BJU," drawing even more negative attention to their alleged practices. (Many Bob Jones affiliates teach a misogynous doctrine that demonizes the victims of sexual abuse, regardless of age, as a type of prostitute, claiming that they are culpable for their own abuse.)
In an attempt to keep the dirty laundry private a year ago, another Baptist organization, the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE), also fired the same team in February of last year, ostensibly to conceal public reporting of the sexual abuse of too many children within their organization. Read more HERE (Re: BJU) and HERE (Re: ABWE) about the history of these events.
(See what I mean about not knowing where to start? Get the scorecard.)
Please also consider signing the petition urging BJU to rehire the GRACE team to complete their investigation.
Full Circle Back to Patrick Henry...
Shortly after I embarked upon writing about the New Republic article (after grieving for the better part of a day), I was curious to see what Homeschoolers Anonymous had to say about the matter.
They have reported that PHC has responded. I invite you to read more there. It's the same, old, predictable story, I'm afraid. Women are "whores" and assault is solicited by "sluts" (Ez 16:23). I'm too heavy in heart to say more.
I'm going to go back and pray for what I wrote in Fidelity. It's tough, however. But it has always been tough to find faith in the midst of so many circumstances.

It's that time again. Linda from Calling It Home has organized another round of talented bloggers transforming a room of their choice for the One Room Challenge. I'm going to try to keep up with them and link up a room that I've been saving for this. A six week turn around may be tough, but I'm going to try to keep up. Want to see which room I picked?
In all fairness, this is what the room looked like when we moved in. And yes that's a drop ceiling with a missing ceiling tile. Why? No clue. And this is what it looks like now.
I know, right? Not much improved with the exception of a proper ceiling. It's been rewired, which is why the baseboards are off and it's had some plaster repair. I also recently painted the closet which was a scary mess.
It's amazing what a coat of white paint (and a sponge) can do to make a space look fresh again.
So here's the plan.
|via Pottery Barn, Shades of Light, Calico Corners, Elle Decor, Electric Fireplace Pros
-Crown molding, new baseboards and shoe molding
-Window benches under both windows/ upholstery
-Window treatments
-Light fixture/ table lamps
-Wallpaper (slight snafu with that which I'll talk about later)
-Upholster the headboard (and find bed frame and mattresses and bedding)
-Furniture i.e, nightstands and maybe a chair?
-Art and whatever else I'm forgetting at the moment.
How many weeks is this? I've got to go. I'm already about 5 months behind. Make sure you check out what all of the One Room Challenge bloggers are doing. I'm sure they will not disappoint.

Is a 1 TB partition too big? Advice on re-partitioning requested
On my 64 bit desktop, I used to have two Western Digital 500 GB drives, each with one partition (C: and D: respectively). But recently those two drives both started failing their self-tests; so I am replacing them with two 1 TB drives.
So then I'll have two partitions, C: and D:, each of which is 1 TB in size.
Would you recommend splitting each drive into two or more partitions (so I would end up with at least four partitions total)? Or is a 500 GB partition for C: considered rather small with the advent of ever larger Microsoft bloatware?
I guess in general I don't know what the pros and cons are for having more or fewer partitions.

It is totally up to you whether you partition them to multiples or leave them as they are. There is nothing to gain or lose in partitioning to multiple drives or leaving them as 1TB partitions.

What MS bloatware? The bloatware comes from a store bought PC from the sponsored crapware and useless duplicate utilities. MS has created in Win7 the leanest OS ever with absolutely no fat.
If you're working from Recovery disks then I'd instead Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
or at least Clean Up Factory Bloatware.
The main reason to keep your OS partition small with a separate data partition is to keep the backup image lean so that if Win7 should ever become irreparable you can reimage the OS and Programs in minutes while the data will be current and waiting in it's own partition vault.

Library - Include a Folder - Windows 7 Forums is the best way to link User folders from the data partition.

I don't partition, but thats my choice. I used to do it because the hardware and OS couldn't address large size drives, which is now a thing of the past.
However, one thing to consider, if you have a hard drive failure all is lost - all the partitions.
I use Acronis True Image to back up the hard drive, if the drive got corrupted (or failed and replaced with another drive) I can be back up in about an hour.

Drive B: 1 partition covering the entire drive. Used as a backup for all the data on D and to store images of C, if you want to image the OS as a backup.
Three partitions total, excluding the System Reserved that would be created on Drive A. You can avoid System Reserved partition if desired.

MPI Forum Roundup
We just finished up another MPI Forum meeting earlier this week, hosted at the Cisco node 0 facility in San Jose, CA. A lot of the working groups are making tangible progress and bringing their work back to the full forum for review and discussion. Sometimes the working group reports are accepted and moved forward towards standardization; other times, the full Forum provides feedback and guidance, and then sends the working group back to committee to keep hashing out details. This is pretty typical stuff for a standard body.
This week, we had a first vote (out of two total) on the MPI_MPROBE proposal. It passed the vote, and will likely pass its next vote in March, meaning that it will become part of the MPI 3.0 draft standard.
MPI_MPROBE closes an important race condition vulnerability.
Since one picture = 1,000 words, a few pictures will help explain the MPI_MPROBE concept far better than N x 1,000 words:

By Satuk Bugra Kutlugun
(AA): Three militants and one Indian soldier were killed in a gun battle in a southern district of disputed Jammu and Kashmir on Monday as Kashmiris observed the "Jammu Martyrs' Day" over the killings of civilians by Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir.
"In the village of Algar Kandi in Pulwama, one Army soldier and three militants were killed," police spokesperson Manoj Pandita told Anadolu Agency.
Police said that the three slain militants belonged to the Jaish-e-Muhammad militant outfit.
Syed Ali Gilani, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman, said India was not sincere in resolving the Kashmir dispute.
"New Delhi had never assigned any political importance to the dispute over Jammu and Kashmir," Gilani told a meeting of Threek-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir in Srinagar.
He expressed concern over the "unabated state-sponsored violence, arrests, intimidations and killings" in Jammu Kashmir.
Mufti Nasirul Islam, Deputy Grand Mufti in Jammu Kashmir, rejected talks offer of India and stressed that the dialogue without the involvement of major stakeholders would be a futile exercise.
A recent uprising began on July 8, 2016 following the killing of 21-year-old Kashmiri militant commander Burhan Wani. Since then, Kashmir has been shut down in protest for 121 days and the Indian government responded to the protest demonstrations by imposing strict curfews and crackdowns.
According to the details from the police, over 7,000 civilians, including human rights activists, have been arrested for participating in demonstrations.
Kashmir, a Muslim-majority Himalayan region, is held by India and Pakistan in parts and claimed by both in full. A small sliver of Kashmir is also held by China.
The two countries have fought three wars — in 1948, 1965 and 1971 — since they were partitioned in 1947, two of which were fought over Kashmir.
Also in Siachen glacier in northern Kashmir, Indian and Pakistani troops have fought intermittently since 1984. A cease-fire came into effect in 2003.
Kashmiri resistance groups in Jammu Kashmir have been fighting against Indian rule for independence, or for unification with neighboring Pakistan.
More than 70,000 people have reportedly been killed in the conflict since 1989. India maintains more than half a million troops in the disputed region.

Is a business making supplies for consideration?: the Connexions Service
Under the provisions of the Learning and Skills Act 2000, Connexions replaced the Careers Service with effect from 1 April 2001. Connexions is far wider in scope than the service that it replaced. It aims to provide advice, guidance and support to young people aged 13 to 19 across a broad range of topics of concern to them - for example, careers, education and training, drug misuse, youth offending, truancy, housing, health and leisure, and cultural and voluntary activities.
To achieve this it draws on the services of a network of specialist advisers including youth and social workers, the Probation Service, Youth Offending Teams and teachers.
The delivery of Connexions Services is non-business.
Historical position
Until 31 March 2004 Connexions Services were considered to be taxable supplies, and the funding received by providers from the (then) Department for Education and Skills (DfES) was treated as consideration for those supplies. This enabled providers to recover any VAT incurred as input tax. This arrangement ceased from 1 April 2004; payments received by providers are now correctly treated as outside the scope, and providers are not able to recover any VAT.
This change of treatment has necessitated a change in delivery structures, and the guidance which follows reflects the current and future position.
Delivery structures
Connexions Services are delivered by:
- Connexions Partnerships, which are separate legal entities operating as non-profit making companies;
- local authority-led Connexions Partnerships, where the local authority acts as the accountable body for the partnership company; or
- local authorities acting in their own right.
In each case the provider contracts with the Supporting Children and Young People Group (SCYPG) - part of the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) - to deliver Connexions Services.
The change in VAT treatment outlined in 'Historical position' above means that, increasingly, local authorities will take on responsibility for delivering Connexions Services, either in-house, or by buying in components of the services from other contractors. In either case, the local authority will be able to recover any VAT incurred under section 33 of the VAT Act 1994.
All providers receive the bulk of their funding from SCYPG, although additional resources may come from individual partners (in the case of Connexions Partnerships) or from European Social Fund monies.
With effect from 1 April 2008, all funding from SCYPG will pass direct to local authorities, which will use this either to deliver Connexions Services themselves, or to buy in components from other contractors.
VAT Treatment
Delivery of Connexions Services
Delivery of Connections Services by providers to SCYPG is a non-business activity, and any payments or funding received in respect of it are outside the scope.
Where a provider buys in goods or services from a third party in order to deliver Connexions Services, the VAT liability of the supply by the third party is determined according to the normal VAT rules.
VAT Recovery
Connexions Partnerships are unable to recover any VAT they incur in delivering Connexions Services, as this is a non-business activity. Local authorities, however, can recover VAT incurred under section 33 of the VAT Act 1994.
With effect from April 2011
As part of a Government website rationalisation programme, with effect from April 2011 Connexions Direct has become part of Directgov offering wider online support for young people, bringing careers, work and learning advice and information together in one place.

Lately I've been having a problem with the fuse that powers the dash lights and the tail lights. I have to replace the fuse every two weeks. I was driving up the road recently and that fuse went out and right after that the horn started honking. I pulled over to look at it I noticed my headlights were on. So I went to turn them off and when I did the horn shut off but the headlights didn't. After I did that the horn wasn't honking anymore so I drove home. When I got there and parked and shut the car and the headlights off, the headlights were still on. I pulled the horn relay and the light relay and they both shut off. I also pulled off the battery cables. What could have caused this, and how can I fix it? Thank you for your time.
My car has 210357 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
It sounds like you have a rubbed through wiring harness or two. All the components you mentioned are switched on the ground side. That means if there is a short to ground on the switch side before the relay, then the light will turn on. This would lead me to think that there is a rubbed through harness in the steering column. This will not blow a fuse though.
The light or horn will simply turn on without you moving the switch. The fuse for the taillights and dash lights is a different concern. A short to ground on the positive side, after the relay will blow a fuse. It will only blow the fuse when it is switched on. This could mean a short in any positive wire in the taillight circuit. There are a lot. Every switch that illuminates when you turn your parking lights on could be shorted. Any taillight or parking light circuit, too.
Here are some tips. There is only one way to find this type of problem - it will have to be visually traced. Follow the harnesses with your eyes and look for damage. Use the clues that the car is giving you to narrow your search. The wires will need to repaired after the problem is found. If you need help having this diagnosed and repaired, a certified technician from YourMechanic can inspect your electrical system and let you know what fixes need to be performed.

Remember when snow days were gifts from the Winter Gods?
Remember when candy canes and hot cocoa were enough incentive to eat your veggies?
Remember when warm and bulky slippers were your most coveted clothing accessory?
Khaya cookies' favorite "Remember December" memory goes to: Remember when making gingerbread houses was more fun than researching up-market property values…
In honor of that holiday memory – I thought a great way to celebrate in our home and yours would be making your very own "Gingerbread Khaya." Simply open up a box and use the cookies to spruce up your "Gingerbread Khaya." Unfortunately, my nieces and nephews ate all of the goodies before I could use them for my project. (No, really…) My little edible DIY, however, was still lots of fun and I hope it inspires you to "remember when" this holiday season, as well.
A few quickie ideas for "Gingerbread Khaya" building:
1. Frosting makes great adhesive
2. Use coconut shavings for snow
3. Use a piece of foil as your ice skating rink
4. Khaya short breads make for great windows and building blocks
Have fun, be creative – and don't worry about the property value on your "Gingerbread Khaya." The memories of making the edible homes with your family will never depreciate in value and remain priceless.
Holidays - from our Khaya to yours !
Happy Holidays - from our Khaya to yours !

That is what LinkedIn Local is all about. No pitches, no speakers.
#LinkedInLocal was started by Anna McAfee, below you find the values she and the other early adopters set out for successful meetings. It is all about "connecting humans".
The concept is founded on authenticity, respect and collaboration.
You are empowered to meet people in an intimate setting to connect on a personal level.
No Agenda - No Labels
Leave the job titles and business cards at home. We believe authentic relationships are created unplanned.
Quality Over Quantity
Size really matters, the most interactive and personal meetups have 50 or fewer attendees. Hence, we have limited the number of tickets to this event.
No Selling - No Audience
Speak with the people, not to the people, and master your sales and marketing pitches in other events.
The Church (Downstairs in The Tower Room)
A few bites (including vegetarian and vegan) will be arranged. Drinks will be charged on consumption. After the event has concluded, your are more than welcome to stay longer if you wish, as The Church will be open untill 2.30am
Similar to the last event we charge a small fee of €5. Proceeds will go towards covering the food (small bites) and any surplus will go towards the next event.

Hi. I'm thinking about going to US and I'd like to go from NY to Washington DC and then come back. Does anyone know if train is the best/cheapest way to do it? How much would it be?
Hi. I'm thinking about going to US and I'd like to go from NY to Washington DC and then come back. Does anyone know if train is the best/cheapest way to do it? How much would it be?
If you don't rent a car, the train is a good option. I have taken the train from NY to Boston many times, which is about the same distance. I think the fares are up to about $100 or so now- it seems to be slightly less than flying and much less hassle. Are you going round trip or one way? Because you might wnat to consider renting a car...gives you more flexibility if you want to explore anything outside the actual cities, though parking will be expensive within the actual cities...
i'm sorry, your post did say round trip...duh! So probably, depending on how long you are staying, train would be cheaper than renting a car. If you havppen to be going for the March on Washington on January 27 check with local peace groups and see if a bus is going from your region-many places are sending buses, even some pretty "out of the way" places...
The cheapest way to travel from NYC to DC is taking the bus...there's actually a bus (well...bus route) that takes you directly into Chinatown in DC...I'm not sure where it picks up in NYC but its about $25 max per person, one way...you buy the ticket on the spot! Sorry - I don't know where to tell you to pick up this bus...its not a greyhound bus route...I only know where to pick it up from in DC - Good luck and enjoy your travels!
The Chinatown bus is the way to go, there are several companies that do this route. It's cheap, it's fast and it's reliable. As a note, some buses are 10-15 years old and some buses are brand new. Just depends on the operator, but between my friends who travel between NYC, Philly, Baltimore, DC the Chinatown bus is the way to go.
Like another person said the Chinatown bus would be the way to go. I did a return trip late last year and it cost $35US return or $20US one way. To get to the departure place in New York (as in October 2006), you get the subway to Canal street station which is reached on line N, R, Q or W. Then you walk a few blocks up towards Manhattan Bridge and then you reach a junction I think it was down next to the bridge and where Allen street is that is where the bus departed from. I know the area around the departure point was very trashy with a lot of garbage all over the path. It'd be best to go around that area (in China Town) a day before you want to depart and that way you can buy your ticket in advance and also see exactly where you have to get to, because if you don't know it could be a little tricky. It would also allow you to get a timetable to see when it goes. The one I got departed at 7.15am and arrived in Washington DC at about 11.30am. You could also check the times out by looking up www.apexbus.com
Have a great trip, Washington DC is very nice
Train is fine, you can check rates on Amtrack site.
I am another who can recommend Chinatown Bus - a good friend travels on it frequently and thinks it is a good value. Buses are clean. Sometimes they are noisy but generally my friend has an enjoyable ride. Go to www.chinatown-bus.com to check it out. there are several companies operating under the Chinatown bus umbrella - www.easternshuttle.com is the bus my friend rides all the time from Richmond Virginia to NYC and back.
joy in Virginia
Hi, everybody. Thank you so much. You're great.
I'll defintly check the Chinatown bus.
Quoting aarantes
Hi. I'm thinking about going to US and I'd like to go from NY to Washington DC and then come back. Does anyone know if train is the best/cheapest way to do it? How much would it be?
I recommend the train. Sample fares from New York to Washington DC in April are $67 USD each way. Leaving New York you will depart from Penn Station, arriving Washington DC Union Station, very close to the US Capitol Building. There is an excellent subway connection around the DC area right in the train station. Also a shopping area and food court.
The train ride takes about 4 hours. Check out website http://www.amtrak.com
and on the Fare Finder enter stations codes NYP (for New York) and WAS (for Washington DC) and the dates you want to travel. The site will give you fare quotes.
Another option is the Amtrak USA Rail Pass which is open to non-US and non-Canadian visitors. A little more money but more days of travel. (You would need one for the Northeast region).
Good luck on your trip!
I know this is from a while ago, but just if anyone is still wondering . . .
I live in New York now but grew up outside of D.C., so I've gone back and forth many a time taking both the Chinatown busses (all lines) and Greyhound/Peter Pan - Both options are $35 RT (although Greyhound fares do change from time to time). I always take Greyhound if I can though -- they are really all about getting there ON TIME, and the location at Port Authority is much better than hauling cookies all the way downtown. There was also one trip where there were roaches - plural - on the Chinatown bus. That was fun, lemme tell ya.
Another option is Washington Deluxe - also $35 RT, although their schedule is much more restricted.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Baz Luhrmann's iconic Romeo & Juliet, Backyard Cinema will bring the film's dark romance to life, with a series of screenings in a dazzling London church, accompanied by a live choir.
The hit providers of roaming, immersive cinema first showed the seminal, Shakespearian adaptation at St Mary's Church last year and - following its unprecedented success - will return for another run amid its stained glass windows and candle-lit aisles, inspired by the movie's final scenes.
The sensational, Some Voices choir will accompany the film, performing live versions from its famous soundtrack, including; Young Hearts, Everybody's Free and Kissing You.
Backyard Cinema founder, Dominic Davies said: "We are thrilled to invite people back to this amazing event.
"It's a small, intimate and personal show and this beautiful church is the perfect setting. Watching the choir perform those iconic, 90's anthems really will pull on the heart strings, leaving fans of the film in tears."
Radio 2's Jo Whiley described it as "a truly magical experience," while comedian Rufus Hound gushed: "When it's a film that's important to you, you need to know that anyone making a show out of it loves it as much as you do. These are your guys."
The experiential movie juggernaut's previous successes have included terrifying, apocalyptic zombie screenings at gunpoint, followed by End of the World parties for survivors; sing and dance-alongs to Grease and Dirty Dancing; their six-week Backyard Cinema Film Festival and last year's indoor Christmas cinema set in an enchanted forest.
Tickets to this exclusive event are priced from £20 for traditional balcony seats and £28 for the main stalls seating area, made up of comfy sofas and relaxing deck chairs.
Alcoholic and soft drinks will be available before the performance from the fully licensed Backyard Bar, as well as a range of quality snacks including luxury ice cream from Cream & Country and Backyard Cinema's popular Pick & Mix Popcorn.
Romeo states that "Love lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes" and this event promises to enchant both.

Woah, woah, woah -- before all you soft-on-crime liberals get outraged, there's more to this story.
Yes, Andrew Steven Jung, 25, was sentenced to six years for breaking into a church and stealing ice cream. The self-described "ice cream junkie" was really wasted last March and, being in St. Charles, decided a fun thing to do would be to smash a glass door to a house of Jesus and raid the fridge of its frozen dairy treats.
Police found him three blocks down the road, his face covered in ice cream. Questioned by police, Jung explained he was an "ice cream junkie."

The understandably ridiculous story made national news with the words "Ice Cream Junkie" in headlines on Huffington Post, NBC News and a website called "MoronWorld.com," which, sadly, is not around anymore.
On Thursday, the Post-Dispatch reported Judge Nancy Schneider sentenced Jung to six years in prison for burglary. See also: Man Gets 4 Years for Chopping Cat to Death with Hatchet
Schneider had seen Jung in her court before -- in 2010 when he pleaded guilty to second-degree burglary. Apparently his first criminal conviction, she sentenced him to a five-year suspended sentence and didn't do any time. Instead, he got five years' probation.
Just over one year later in August 2011, Jung was caught driving drunk. Judge Elizabeth Swann sentenced him to two more years of probation.
Then in April 2012, Judge Schneider saw Jung again, this time for being accused of leaving the scene of a motor-vehicle accident. The now habitual offender didn't get any time, but was let out on a $10,000 bond.
And then came March 2013, when Jung was caught stealing dessert from God.
For Schneider, apparently, this was the last popsicle stand, so she sentenced Jung to six years in the slammer.
It's a tough sentence, but he could be out in fewer than six years. Hopefully Jung gets the treatment he needs in prison.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Pickups & Electronics [BG]' started by DaveB, Nov 14, 2000.
I'm thinking of trying a Rio Grande Vintage pickup in my Fender P. Anyone with experience ?
I've talked with a guy, also a Fender P owner as am I, who played a Fender with a Rio Grande on it. He wasn't impressed enough to consider them for his P. He said he thought the lower end Carvins, which cost about the same ($50), were as good/better. I seen about 38 user reviews on Grandes, only of which 2 were by bassists, and those were replacements for Japanese PU's, one, on some bass called a "Rokkoman." (Wasn't that in a Godzilla movie?). Personally, I'm turned off by the Grande website on which the verbage is pretty self-congratulatory, no bass publication raves, and the word "fancy" is overused. Looking good gets you compliments, sounding good gets you paid.
How about getting some Lane Poors and letting me know how they are for the bass I'm having built?
I started out on guitar, too, and love your city, "Tranta," passionately.

Left back - David Alaba
Versatile young Austrian David Alaba has become a mainstay in an outstanding Bayern Munich side, cementing the left-back spot as his own.
He has been so good that, Philip Lahm has been asked to play as a defending Midfielder.
The 20-year-old is extremely good in possession, tackling and passing. He averages 54.9 passes per game.
Meanwhile he's also picked up figures of 2.1 tackles and 1.8 interceptions per game, which both rank above captain Philipp Lahm on the opposite flank.

Effin' EFI
I haven't sinked much time into my OS project the last couple of months, but it seems to have ramped up again lately.
I'm hitting a wall in terms of making the EFI boot loader actually execute my operating system. I've spent lots of time learning C, and other interesting and generic and reusable lessons. Now, however, I realize I need to spend time figuring out how to undo everything the EFI runtime set up for me in the first place. So I feel pretty strongly for dumping EFI..
The 16 -> 32 -> 64 dance of plain multiboot seems much more pleasant. I generally prefer to build stuff up from bare bones, rather than using a machete to hack and slash my way through a jungle filled with APIs and environments I didn't manually place there myself. With multiboot, it's just me and the CPU.
As a noob, it seemed pleasant to use EFI to jump straight into a 64 bit environment. But since I find myself tearing it down anyway, to get the ABI I want, and to be able to fully control everything, what's the point? I also used EFI boot time service sto print to the console, but I have a nice GDB setup now. No reason to use EFI, then.
I'll spend some time toying with multiboot. I've failed before, but I know so much more about C, GCC and ASM now that I have a feeling it'll be smoother this time around.
Questions or comments?
Feel free to contact me on Twitter, @augustl, or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

When it comes to food, I try to stick to my "don't knock it until you try it" philosophy…but when it comes to Chinese "virgin eggs," I think I'll make an exception. Here's why.
These eggs are boiled in the urine of young boys. In one Chinese city, this dish is considered a delicacy.
For hundreds of years, the people of Dongyang have enjoyed their favorite springtime snack, tong zi dan…which roughly translates to "boy egg."
How do they collect the pee? Glad you asked! Buckets are set outside of elementary school classrooms and boys are encouraged to discharge into them between classes. The buckets are then collected by local restaurants.

Senate Leadership Needs to Hear From You - Urge Them Not to Let This Bill Die!
Thanks to your support and contacting of your state legislators, NRA-backed House Bill 1652 passed in the Oklahoma House on Tuesday by a 75 to 5 vote. Oklahoma's 2011 legislative session is set to end this Friday, which means only two legislative days remain to send HB 1652 to Governor Mary Fallin.
This bill was placed on the Senate calendar for Wednesday's business, but did not get considered. The Senate must pass this bill soon – since failure to bring this bill up for a vote will effectively kill this bill and all the essential reforms it contains. HB 1652 needs your support to be brought for a final floor vote in the Senate before close of business TOMORROW, in order to be sent to the Governor this year.
HB 1652 would allow concealed carry permit holders to lock their firearms in their vehicles on technology center campuses and parking lots set aside for use by governmental entities and professional sporting events. This bill was authored by state Representative John Enns (R-41) in the state House and is sponsored by state Senators Steve Russell (R-45) and Anthony Sykes (R-24) in the state Senate.
Time is running out! This important bill must be brought up for a vote before close of business tomorrow and needs your help TODAY! Please contact Senate Leadership immediately and respectfully urge them to bring HB 1652 to the Senate floor for a vote.
These Senators need to hear from you TODAY, as they are under heavy pressure by anti-gun opponents and higher education lobbyists to weaken or kill the bill.

Wow, this looks crazy! Maybe a goal for next year!
When most bikers are dreaming about riding their motorcycles but can't because of icy or snowy road conditions, one set of bikers ride. Not only do they ride, but they race.
In a sleepy beach resort town in France, in a town called Le Touquet, once a year the town hosts a beach race for motorcycle. Called the "Le Touquet Enduropale", the date is always the first weekend in February, typically when France is at its coldest.
Braving icy cold weather, sea and often strong winds, 1100 motorcycles start the race at the same time. 1100 motorcycles thundering along the first part of the race, a 7.5 kilometer long stretch of deep sandy beach, alternated with sea water pockets. The first biker to reach the first curve wins the holeshot, and a purse of €1500. The motorcycle reach speeds of 200 kph (120 mph) in the sand, and usually the…

Dominique Dawes Q & A: Why she was fearful of motivational speaking, retiring at 23 and valuing the Olympic experience
Senior reporter Sean Bradley sat down with 1996 Olympic gold medal winner Dominique Dawes to get the inside scoop on her life as an Olympic gymnast.
Question: Since you retired from competition, you've taken on motivational speaking. What were some of the reasons you decided to do motivational speaking? How long?
Answer: "I actually started motivational speaking after my second Olympic games in 1996. I'd become a professional athlete. I forewent my scholarship to Stanford University and decided to make money. Soon after the Olympic games, after winning a gold medal, you get hired a lot for speaking engagements. I did not think of that. I didn't like people a great deal. I'm very uncomfortable, or at least I was, in larger groups of individuals. When my agents initially approached me, when I was 19 years old, and said 'We have these speaking engagements lined up for you', I was like 'No, thanks.' He quickly let me know that he would pretty much fire himself from working for me if I did not accept these things because this is how Olympic athletes get their story out and make a living. I remember taking my first speaking engagement. It was a 10-minute long speech and it was the longest 10 minutes of my life. I will say this: anyone who saw me in that first speech probably never thought this would be something I would continue to do 16 years later."
Q: What are some of the things you like to touch on when speaking to students? Do your speeches vary when you talk to sports teams as opposed to students?
A: "You know, they're different. Though the stories are the same. Maybe I'll emphasize a point of a story a little bit more or leave out certain aspects of a story. Each speaking engagement is unique. I always speak from passion. I'm not using notes. I usually don't because then I find myself standing up there reading and I get bored listening to myself read, so of course the audience is, too. But I just like to speak from the heart and share what helped me, what hurt me in my 18 year journey in the sport of gymnastics. What helps me and hinders me today, even as a 35-year-old businesswoman and I hope that from my tidbits people can take away something that will help them walk the walk in their lives and reach their full potential."
Q: Do you have the same passion for motivational speaking that you did when you were competing? Does it give you the same feelings as when you competed? What are some of those feelings?
A: "I do. That was something I was fearful of when I retired in 2000. I wasn't sure what my next passion would be in life. I loved the sport of gymnastics. I started it when I was six. I retired when I was 23 or 24. I never thought I would find something else that I loved just as much and actually, was almost just as good at. I don't think I'm Olympic-level when it comes to speaking yet but I'm pretty darn good. It just took a lot of work. After the '96 Olympics, my first speaking engagement — it took me six years to realize that this is something that I'm passionate about. Something that's truly impacting people's lives in a positive way. And the cool thing is: now I don't have to wear a leatard. I can impact people in a positive way by my words and trying my best to be a good role model."
Q: You have accomplished so much in your 18 year career as a gymnast. What was it like the very last time you competed? What were some of the thoughts going through head?
A: "A lot of people do not recall, don't ask about my last Olympic games. I was 23 years old. Definitely over the hill. I had arthritis in my shoulders. I was on Celebrex. It was a tough time in my career but I came back for my third and final Olympic games to say farewell to the fans. They had meant so much to me. They were a huge supporter for me throughout my ups and downs in the sport. For my final competition in Sydney, Australia, it was bittersweet. I was thrilled that I could say goodbye to the fans and bitter that I was saying goodbye to the fans. The crowd would no longer be cheering. It's a difficult transition. It's a diffcult farewell for any professional athlete, for any Olympic athlete, to walk away from something that was huge to their identity. That was tough for me but I also knew it was time for me to hang up the leotard."
Q: Why did you decide to retire at the time in your life that you did?
A: "I sucked. It was time to walk away. I think it gets to a point though I made the Olympic team, I wasn't at the level that I used to be and it really was time for me to close that chapter of my life and to open another chapter. A lot of athletes, I'm not saying that I did this, they will continue to stay in the sport. They will continue to have comebacks because of the fear of the unknown, what's next. It got to a point where physically, I wasn't where I needed to be and psychologically my mind was already checked out and trying to figure out what's next for Dominique Dawes."
Q: How do you look back on your career as the years go by?
A: "You know, it's difficult to not look back and think about gymnastics. I was just talking with my fiancee about it. He's like 'Well, you're gonna always think about gymnastics because that's your job still today, to relive the past.' There's pros and cons to it. It keeps you somewhat stuck in the past because I'm thinking about what I did 16 years ago and winning a gold or my final Olympics 12 years ago. It makes me wonder 'Is what I'm doing today impactful enough? Am I doing enough?' and being that I'm a strong believer and that I try to not only talk the talk, I try my best to walk the walk. I don't compare myself to yesterday with regards to how the world perceives my successes. I look at who I am as an individual when it comes to my character and if I'm better off with regards to, lets say, kindness or compassion or respect or being more responsible. If I'm better than than I was last year, then I know I've done something good and I know that I've fulfilled something. It's always trying to be better than I was yesterday and not comparing to what I was to when I wore a leotard."
Q: What are some of the ideas or aspirations you want to pass on to upcoming gymnasts?
A: "I like to encourage people to recognize how powerful their mind is. It's something that helped me tremendously in my sport but its also hindered tremendously in my sport. I talk about how your mind can truly control your body. How your mind make or break an opportunity in your life. The cool thing about this is: we have control of our thoughts. We have control over the negativity that comes in and goes out. We have control over changing negative words into positive words. We have the ability to choose to believe in our dreams and ourselves and to push out anything that's going to deter us from reaching our full potential. That's the message that I always like to relay to younger audiences as well as to adult audiences because even adults struggle with believing in themselves. Even adults struggle with believing and being content with their lives and thinking that they can do no more. I wanna change that and I know the first place change it is right up in their mind."
Q: What are your thoughts on the results of the gymnastics results in London this year?
A: "I was so proud of those girls. I was in London the whole time and even for two weeks after. They are known as the 'Fierce Five.' They were the second women's gymnastics team ever to win a gold medal in the team competition. They dominated their competition. I will say, I was a little bored. It seemed like they were so far away though I think the Romanians were giving them a little bit of a run for their money and the Russians and the Chinese were there as well. They dominated. It was good to see them win the gold medal. I was so proud of Gabby Douglas. She's a great, not only physically talented individual, but a good overall, all-around kid. I love hearing her story and I love seeing she's reaping the benefits of her hard work, her sacrifice and her commitment."
Q: Do you maybe see a bit of them in you?
A: "Oh no. I tell everyone they're better than me. Always. I think it's because of my own experience but I don't want to be that old athlete that's like 'Oh, if I was in the meet, I would've won gold.' No, I want to allow this young generation to shine. I had my time. I enjoyed it. I reaped many benefits from it. These girls have worked hard. I love seeing that Gabby has surpassed what I could've ever done. Thrilled for her. Thrilled for Jordyn having that gold medal. Thrilled for McKayla Maroney making vault finals. Thrilled for Aly Raisman winning a gold medal as well as a bronze medal in the balance beam and a gold on floor. These girls are great. What I did was 16 years ago and that was history."
Q: What do you value most about your time competing in the Olympics? Was it the friendships you made, the goals you achieved or something else?
A: "I don't think I started really valuing the Olympic experience until I was no longer there as an Olympian. It was not until the 2008 Olymipic games in Beijing, and I was doing work for Yahoo! Sports, that I truly realized the Olympics was so much bigger than myself. I think as a young person, you are focused on yourself anyway and you are inately selfish. For my first Olympic games, it was all about me obviously. Second Olympic games: me and my time. Third Olympic games: Me and my farewell to the fans. And then I didn't go to 2004 but I went to 2008 and I sat there for opening ceremonies, the first one I'd ever been to, because I couldn't go before because of training and I looked at this arena. All these athletes came marching out and every athlete got an amazing applause. Athletes you've never heard of. Sports you've never heard of. Countries you've never heard of. They're all applauded. They've all worked hard to experience this one moment. I realized it's not about Michael Phelps. It's not about Kobe Bryant. It's not about the women's gymnastics team. It's about the whole nation, the world coming together and that's what I think I really realized that it was something special I was a part of"

Please meet Flower!
Hand knit out of handspun, hand dyed yarn, Flower has soft, floppy ears that go in different directions and add a lot of personality to her small face. The yarn is 100% silk that I dyed in shades of pink and purple. It is a very hard wearing yarn and Flower will hold up quite well to being someone's new best friend. Safety eyes and nose will stay attached!
Flower is just begging to play with a special someone! Kids love to play pretend and Flower fits right in! While she was created with a bunny in mind, the possibilities are only limited by the imagination!
SnugglyBuns also make excellent photo props!
Flower doesn't have a set expression so she won't limit your child's pretend scenarios. Flower's soft, squishy body is the perfect size for hugging. A simple, rounded body allows for hugging and play without worrying about arms or legs getting stuck somewhere or being pulled off.
Flower measures 8 inches tall and 17 inches all the way around.
Flower is knit with 100% silk and stuffed with polyester fiber fill. She can be machine washed on cold in a gentle cycle, I suggest sticking her in a mesh bag first to reduce pilling. Fluff her up and let her air dry.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Chateau France Restaurant Review: Nestled within a 1910 Victorian mansion, this very French restaurant offers romantic, old-world charm. Appetizers include market price caviar (an item not easily found in Florida). The menu also features five different filet mignons in addition to Châteaubriand, breast of duck, breast of chicken (stuffed with Maine lobster) and, on occasion, sautéed frogs' legs. Since the menu changes from time to time, season to season, one favorite to ask for is the chicken breast medallions stuffed with lump crab meat. Also, al fresco dining is an option on the restaurant's veranda. Many desserts are prepared tableside, including crêpes Suzette and bananas flambé. When available, Château also offers white and black truffles and Kobe filet mignon.

3 Recipes for Perfectly Grilled Meat
Serve delicious fish, chicken and pork every time
Since my husband and I are empty nesters (and are trying to cut down on our meat consumption, too) I find myself grilling smaller cuts of pork tenderloin; boneless, skinless chicken breasts; and salmon fillets. Because they will dry out if left on the barbecue too long, small cuts of meat need a little help developing those gorgeous grill marks that make the meat look appealing and taste great. The secret is very simple: a searing hot fire and a rub or basting marinade containing sugar that will help the meat brown.
The grill
Your grill is an outdoor oven. It needs to preheat! To properly heat a grill, turn all the burners on high for at least 10 minutes. If you've got a temperature gauge, it should register about 500 degrees. By then the grill grates will be blistering hot and ready to sear. Close the lid as soon as you've got your cuts on the grill. This way the grill has all the browning power of stove top cooking and all the enveloping heat of the oven.
Preparing the meat
A few years back I read that sugar was the chef's secret to beautifully seared meat. It made sense that sugar-sprinkled meat would caramelize more quickly. You can keep it as simple as a light dusting of sugar, or try some of my recipes below that use molasses or orange juice concentrate instead.
Note that sugar-coated meats can stick to the grill, but as long as you follow the preheating instructions and lubricate the grates with a well-oiled rag, you won't have any problems.
Last, don't play with the cuts — turn them only once. If there's any doubt about when to turn them, leave them on the first side until they're impressively brown. (Remember, you only need one side to look good!)
Grilled Pork Tenderloin With Molasses and Black Pepper
Serves 6
Tenderloin often come two to the pack, and leftover pork is great for building a sandwich or tossing in a salad for lunch the next day.
- 2 pork tenderloins (about 2 pounds)
- Salt
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 tablespoons coarsely ground pepper
Lightly sprinkle each tenderloin with salt, brush with molasses and sprinkle with pepper.
Meanwhile, heat the grill. If using a gas grill, turn all burners on high until fully preheated, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a wire brush to clean grill rack and then lubricate it with an oil-soaked rag; close lid and make sure the grill returns to temperature before adding tenderloins.
Place tenderloins on hot grill rack; close lid and grill-roast for 6 minutes. At this time, impressive dark brown grill marks should have formed. Turn tenderloins, close lid and continue to sear until dark brown grill marks have formed on the other side, about 5 minutes longer. With the grill lid still closed, turn off grill heat and let meat continue to cook 5 minutes longer. At this point a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest end of the tenderloin should register between 145 and 150 degrees. Remove tenderloins from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Internal temperature will continue to rise during the resting period. If the meat weighs a little more than listed here, increase grilling times to 7 minutes on the first side, 6 minutes on the second side and 5 minutes in the turned-off grill.
Cut tenderloins into 1/2-inch thick slices and serve immediately.
Grilled Chicken Breasts With Orange-Cumin Glaze
Serves 2 to 4
If the tenderloins are still attached to the breasts, remove them and grill them separately or reserve them for another use.
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 pound), trimmed and halved crosswise to form 2 thin cutlets
- Salt
- 1/4 cup orange juice concentrate
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Ground black pepper
Lightly sprinkle chicken with salt and then coat with concentrate, cumin and a sprinkling of pepper.
Meanwhile, heat the grill. If using a gas grill, turn all burners on high until fully preheated, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a wire brush to clean grill rack, then lubricate it with an oil-soaked rag; close lid and make sure grill returns to temperature before adding chicken breasts.
Place chicken breasts, skinned side down, on hot grill rack, close lid and grill-roast until grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn chicken breasts and continue to cook until grill marks form on the other side, about 3 minutes longer. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve.
Grilled Salmon Fillets With Sweet Thai Chili Sauce and Cilantro
Serves 6
Avoid cuts from the tail end of the salmon, which are thin and tend to overcook quickly.
- 4 salmon fillets (1 to 11/2 pounds)
- Salt
- 1/4 cup sweet Thai chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Lightly sprinkle salmon with salt. Mix chili sauce and cilantro and brush over salmon.
Meanwhile, heat the grill. If using a gas grill, turn all burners on high until fully preheated, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a wire brush to clean grill rack, then lubricate it with an oil-soaked rag; close lid and make sure that grill returns to temperature before adding salmon fillets.
Place salmon fillets, flesh side down, on hot grill rack; cover and grill until grill marks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn salmon and continue to cook until fillets are just opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve.

I've been doodling some chart in R/ggplot using geom_text() to generate a labelled scatterplot.
The chart actually builds up several layers using different datasets, so it's not obvious how to set the ranges cleanly: I know the lower bound I want for the y-axis (y=0), but I want to let the upper bound float.
There's also an issue with the labels overflowing the edges left and right.
So here are a couple of lines to make everything better (chart is in g):
#Find the current ymax value for upper bound #(via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7705345/how-can-i-extract-plot-axes-ranges-for-a-ggplot2-object#comment24184444_8167461 ) gy=ggplot_build(g)$panel$ranges[[1]]$y.range[2] g=g+ylim(0,gy) #Handle the overflow by expanding the x-axis g=g+scale_x_continuous(expand=c(0.1,0))

Jessica Simpson is a Cool Cowgirl
Jessica Simpson wears a Dallas Cowboys hoodie as she is spotted shopping at Barney's New York in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Jessica spent some time working out at the gym, and then headed over to Glic Music Studio in West Hollywood.
"I think any person who I'm gonna date for longer than six months, I definitely am investing in something long-term," Jessica said in her interview with Cosmopolitan. "If I get married again, then it will be the last time."

Guys, it's July! How did this happen?! The days and weeks keep getting away from me. Did you know that I haven't done my laundry on over a month?! (Honestly, I can't believe my laundry bag hasn't broken yet.) Where has the time gone???
(Random mint tank, Jack by BB Dakota top, Tulle shorts)
My grandma spoiled me while we were in Vermont (almost a month ago! How?!) and bought me this gorgeous top.
I love how it looks with the mint tank underneath. Quite ethereal, yes? I'm sure it would look just fine tucked in as well but I didn't want to hide any of it; it's too pretty!
This weekend will be filled with barbecues and fireworks and the beach. It's going to be wonderful. Happy July, and I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
The title of this post is from "Magpie to the Morning" by Neko Case.

Even though we weren't physically present for the Durban Film Mart and the Durban International Film Festival in July this summer, we covered some of the projects that were a part of both; I'm hoping that we can finally attend the two concurrently run events in 2013, especially with the Film Mart's stated initiative/intent to specifically raise the visibility of projects from the African continent.
And with that comes the below press release announcing a call for submissions to filmmakers for next year's Film Mart event, which is to take place alongside the 34th edition of the Durban International Film Festival in July next year. The partnership project between the Durban Film Office (DFO) and the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF) provides filmmakers from across Africa a valued opportunity to pitch projects to financiers, distributors, sales agents and potential co-producers.
Selected projects will be invited to pitch projects in one-on-one meetings with potential investors within the Finance Forum segment of the DFM program.
"We are looking for films that will reveal the diverse narratives of our Province and our continent, these artists can help us interpret the reality of the modern world – captivating stories of truth, determination, innovation and vision. At the DFM we also want to reflect the energetic and creative vibe of our continent. We want to engage and inspire our local talent, and provide them with a platform to be heard and as well as a chance to get their foot in the door through the opportunities available," said Peter Rorvik, director of the Centre for Creative Arts and the Durban International Film Festival (DIFF).
Submissions opened on October 5, and will continue through February 15, so it looks like you've got some time; although not as much as you think. So don't procrastinate.
Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to be part of the Durban Film Mart 2013! We could be talking about your project next year.
Submission details follow below:
Media Release October 2012
DFM organizers are poised to raise the visibility of projects from local filmmakers as well as those from around the African continent. ''With the success of the DFM 2012 event which attracted more than 350 delegates from Africa and around the world we expect next year to be bigger and better," said Toni Monty of the Durban Film Office.
With roots embedded in all corners of the African continent DFM has been heralded as a significant catalyst for growth of the African Film industry and a vital interface with global film sectors.
At the DFM you will find the Finance Forum which sits for four days with selected projects chosen by an international "project reader committee" who engage in a two-day pitching and packaging training programme prior to the one-on-one meetings with investors where filmmakers pitch their projects. The Master classes are a four forum for professional filmmakers whereby experts present master classes and seminars on critical issues in film. Africa in Focus is a four day series of workshops and seminars for entry level filmmakers with a special focus on the development of African content.
Take note of the important critical information:
All submissions must be made in English;
Full scripts brought to the Durban FilmMart in July 2013 may be in the original language of project;
Fiction features with theatrical potential must be minimum of 70 minutes;
Animation features with theatrical potential must be a minimum of 70 minutes;
Documentaries must be a minimum of 48minutes;
Entries are open to Africans wherein the producer, director or writer must be an African citizen;
All projects should have a producer attached;

Computational Identification of Transcription Networks in Embryonic Stem Cells
Sheng Zhong
College: Engineering
Award year: 2007-2008
Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs) possess several notable properties that account for their exceptional scientific and medical importance, including development of treatments to degenerative, malignant, or genetic diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and heart failure, as well as injury due to inflammation, infection, and trauma, such as spinal cord injury. Transcriptional control is thought to be a key control mechanism for ESCs to maintain their undifferentiated state. We propose to study the engineering principles built within the transcriptional networks of human and mouse ESCs, and to use reverse-engineering approaches to reconstruct these transcriptional networks. Through biophysical modeling, computational inference and biological validation, the blueprints of the transcription networks of ESCs will be revealed. This work will advance Network Biology in ESCs with regard to self-renewal, pluripotency, cell-type specific differentiation and evolutionary constraints. The biophysical modeling and computational tools will be standardized and assembled into a publicly available software pipeline for guiding the manipulation of stem cells for cell-based therapies.

Borderline personality disorder is one of ten personality disorders, and it's probably the most well known amongst the psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. And that's because individuals with borderline personality disorder due tend to engage in very intense relationships. Including their treatment relationships. Part of the reasons for this are they don't have a strong sense of identity, and they tend to have a fear of abandonment. They also have a very hard time of conceptualizing positive and negative traits at the same time. And all of these things lead to problems in their relationships. And especially the fear of abandonment leads individuals with borderline personality disorder to engage in behaviors to try and avoid these kinds of abandonment's. And sometimes these will be self injurious behaviors, or suicide attempts. And in other contexts individuals with borderline personality disorders will also cut themselves. And the cutting is not necessarily related to thoughts of suicide but actually more related to the fact that they don't have a close connection to their sense of identity. And their not very closely connected to their own bodies, so they'll tend to cut themselves to feel the pain, to see the blood, and to form a connection, and to know their actually existing in their bodies. It can be very confusing to people who don't have that same internal experience. But often it's useful for people with borderline personality disorders to understand that their not the only ones that feel this way. There are group of people who have this internal life, where they have these impulses and these fears, and the inability to experience good and bad at the same time. And that it's a consistent group of symptoms that we do see manifest in different individuals. The treatment for borderline personality disorder can be controversial, but certainly focuses on psychotherapy. To help them a: manage their impulsive behaviors, and certainly their self injurious behaviors. And b: to help them learn about their fears and their internal experiences, to help them manage their relationships better. And that's a basic overview of borderline personality disorder.

This story came in via email from Patrice:
"On Friday I bought hartz ultra guard pro flea & tick drops for my two cats in walmart. I put the drops between the shoulder blades
of each of my cats. For some reason immediately after the application my curiosity brought me online to research this hartz product I had just applied. I was in total disbelief after reading all the horrific reports about hartz. Immediatly after reading I thoroughly washed the oil (poison) from both of my cats necks with dawn dish soap, rinsed & went to bed.
"The next morning I noticed Hoatzin (pronounced Watson) the love bug one was nowhere to be found. When I found him he was shaking his back legs as if he had something stuck to them. This went on all morning with all his limbs shaking. I phoned several vets that were closed for the weekend & ended up bringing him to the vet ER only after giving him a second bath to remove more oil from his neck & coat. The vet was concerned & shook his head in a familiar manor, telling me this is "poison". After performing a series of physical tests the vet concluded he has neuro damage which could get worse, could be permanent or go away I have to wait & see.
"Fast forward to present time (Tuesday) he has bounced back to his normal self. I'm not sure why the medicine did not have the same effect on Ha' Penny (my other kitty). That said it's not worth the gamble to see if its going to effect your pets health or not.
This was a traumatic experience. Makes me so sad & angry that this product is available on the shelves for consumers to buy in order to protect their animals from little pests (fleas) that won't kill them. Bottom line my cat was harmed due to Hartz."
