Women, Don't Compartmentalize Your Spiritual Life, Urges Christian Blogger
Christian women often try to organize the messiness of life by creating "happy little compartments that we suppose will bring peace," said Trisha Wilkerson, a Christian blogger and mother.
As the wife of a pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Wash., and as a writer for Mark Driscoll's The Resurgence blog on subjects like work and worship, Wilkerson is no stranger to juggling the busyness of everyday life.
But she notes in her post, titled "Ladies, Don't Compartmentalize God," that women often try to control the chaos of life the wrong way. They create checklists and compartments in their hearts, "gladly tucking devotional and Bible thoughts into that 'Jesus' category."
This leaves them feeling inadequate if they haven't completed something and they think they are condemned by what is lacking. "Jesus seems distant, unavailable, and cold. We briefly acknowledge him and get back to work, sure that God will understand our mess," writes Wilkerson.
She emphasized that this kind compartmentalization can be dangerous and draining. "Our lives aren't neatly arranged. We try for 'neat' and it never happens," she said. "Our hearts are full of wandering desires distracting us from Christ, making those good works and loving acts of service sometimes non-existent, or just simply scattered across the disorder of our lives."
This urge and ability to compartmentalize only takes women so far because life is broken and complex, Wilkerson says. And it creates the assumption that they are in control, causing them to "limp through life…searching for 'balance' amid the chaos."
Wilkerson advises that instead of compartmentalizing and obsessing with organizing, women have to learn to trust God with the details. The real question should be, "If Jesus is our treasure, do our lives continually reflect this rich grace?"
This involves handing the reins of life over to God. "We can tenderly acknowledge the propensity to compartmentalize (which isn't always sinful) and pray for discernment, that we may see our distracted worship, and desperate need for Christ," she writes.
It is a matter of changing our perspective of life into a view of worship. Wilkerson cites theologian D.A. Carson who said, "Christian worship is the response of God's redeemed people to his self-revelation that exalts God's glory in Christ in our minds, affections, and wills, in the power of the Holy Spirit."
She says in light of this, women can change the perspective of their checklist or agenda and let Christ work on the details of their lives.
"To worship Jesus throughout our stressful, busy days without putting him in some compartment means that we truly see him as Lord over all of it, deeply loving us in the details. Yes, even the mundane tasks of life," she writes.
Wilkerson asks women to stop the next time they are doing dishes, cleaning, or in a meeting and think about God, and how He is in control.
Ultimately if we "can relinquish control, knowing that our holy, perfect, and attentive God is Lord over all these self-made compartments and gives us his Spirit to demonstrate his wisdom and grace daily. We are invited to live this out, as worship," she says.

|The Glass Bead Game
Hermann Hesse
Final novel by Hermann Hesse, published in two volumes in 1943 in German as Das Glasperlenspiel, and sometimes translated as Magister Ludi. The book is an intricate bildungsroman about humanity's eternal quest for enlightenment and for synthesis of the intellectual and the participatory life. Set in the 23rd century, the novel purports to be a biography of Josef Knecht ("servant" in German), who has been reared in Castalia, the remote place his society has provided for the intellectual elite to grow and flourish. Since childhood, Knecht has been consumed with mastering the Glass Bead Game, which requires a synthesis of aesthetics and scientific arts, such as mathematics, music, logic, and philosophy. This he achieves in adulthood, becoming a Magister Ludi (Master of the Game). Synopsis: Setting his story in the distant, post-Holocaust future, Hesse tells of an elite cult of intellectuals occupying themselves with an elaborate game that employs all the cultural and scientific knowledge of the ages. The most imaginative and prophetic of Hesse's works. A Masterpiece! QUALITY PAPERBACK EDITION

| The Practice Of Magical Evocation: Instructions For Invoking Spirit Beings From The Spheres Surrounding Us.
Franz Bardon
First Published 1956, 2002 Edition. 546 Pages, 148p. & Color Plates With Seals of Spirit Beings . Merkur Publishing. The Practice of Magical Evocation is divided into two parts: the first section deals with evocational magic, and second with the hierarchy of the beings in the different spheres. You could divide magical knowledge into three categories: lower magic, intermediate magic, and high magic. This book gives the reader the significance of the magic circle, triangle, the magic mirror, the magic wand, and so forth. The second part discloses the names and signatures of the different heads, genii and intelligences of the various planetary spheres in our solar system, how to communicate with them and also what their specific tasks are. These heads or genii have their specific field; there is not one field of endeavor which is not covered by one or another head, intelligence or genii. A detailed description of their expertise in a particular field is listed in this book by name and sphere, and how to establish contact with these beings. It should however be mentioned that you cannot succeed in contacting these beings unless you have practically and successfully completed the first volume Initiation into Hermetics, or you must have at least successfully completed the eighth step.

|The Key To The True Kabbalah: The Kabbalist As A Perfected Sovereign In the Microcosm & The Macrocosm
Franz Bardon
1996 279p. In The Key to the True Kabbalah, Franz Bardon demonstrates that the mysticism of letters and numbers the true Kabbalah is a universal teaching of great antiquity and depth. Throughout the ages, adepts of every time and place have achieved the highest levels of magical attainment through the understanding of sound, color, number and vibration as embodied in the Kabbalah. This book, the third in Franz Bardon's remarkable texts of Hermetic magic, is nothing less than a practical guide to such attainment. Using the common German alphabet, Bardon guides the reader through ever greater levels of Kabbalistic achievement. No other available text reveals as great a depth of Kabbalistic wisdom or provides the reader with as much practical training. Though intended primarily as a working text for those who have completed Bardon's first and second volumes, Initiation Into Hermetics and The Practice of Magical Evocation, the present work stands on its own, and even those without the requisite background in practical Hermetics will be fascinated by the author's intellectual journey through the mysticism of Tantric India, Tibet, the Hebrew Kabbalah, and the ancient sources of the Western magical tradition.

|The Art Of Memory.
Francis A. Yates
1974. 400p. Book Description "Once in a very great while, historical scholarship produces a book which makes one immediately begin re-thinking many of one's major suppositions about the thought systems of the past. Professor Yates has given us such a book."--Norman D.

|TAROT reVISIONed.
Original Writings & Artwork Created By:
Leigh J. McCloskey
2003 1st Edition. Quarto, High Quality Cloth w/Dust Jacket. In TAROT reVISIONed, Leigh J. McCloskey has created an entirely new and unique series of drawings representing the twenty-two archetypes of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. A culmination of a seventeen year creative process, this work reveals a depth and acuity of vision that is both original and profound. The text of the manuscript consists of commentaries which examine traditional meanings and attributions connected with each Tarot archetype, as well as introducing new and insightful material that lends a deeper significance to the Tarot Tradition. Each commentary explores how the Tarot expresses both transcendental and individual qualities of consciousness, analyzing the mythological and esoteric, as well as considering how the archetypes interact and influence personal reality and experience. Following each commentary is a detailed examination and explanation of the symbolism and content of each drawing. The manuscript, approximately 90,000 words, is comprised of twenty-two chapters, an introduction and contains a forward by Stanislas Klossowski de Rola, the internationally recognized scholar and author of The Golden Game and Alchemy: The Secret Art. Leigh is a dear friend of Sacred Science Institute and is one of the most exceptional artists we have ever seen, and in this book, he publishes, for the first time, his pen and ink drawings of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. These images possess a beauty and transcendent quality like no other Tarot drawings ever, done in the Renaissance style of Durer. The artwork in this books is EXTRAORDINARY, and includes full color reproductions of Leigh's magnificent OIL PAINTINGS on the front and back of the Dust Jacket, and on the inner pages.

|Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt.
John Anthony West.
1993. 266P. This revised edition of West's revolutionary reinterpretation of the civilization of Egypt challenges all that has been accepted as dogma concerning this ancient and enigmatic land. It features a new introduction linking Egyptian science with the perennial wisdom tradition and an appendix updating the author's work with Robert Schoch in redating the Sphinx based upon water erosion. This wonderful work is based upon the research and discoveries of the famous Alchemist/Egyptologist, R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz, and gives a detailed overview of Schwaller's ideas of the scientific system of the Egyptian Temple. Topics Include: Hieroglyphs carry Hermetic messages that convey the subtler realities of the Sacred Science of the pharaohs. Egyptian science, medicine, mathematics, and astronomy were more sophisticated than most modern Egyptologists acknowledge. Egyptian knowledge of the universe was a legacy from a highly sophisticated civilization that flourished thousands of years before. The Great Sphinx represents geological proof that such a civilization existed. Pythagoras Rides Again. Science & Art in Ancient Egypt. Myth Symbolism, Language, Literature. Heir to Atlantis.

|Supernatural: Meetings With The Ancient Teachers of Mankind.
Graham Hancock.
2006. 720p. Less than 50,000 years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. In Supernatural Graham Hancock sets out to investigate this mysterious "before-and-after moment" and to discover the truth about the influences that gave birth to the modern human mind. Hancock's quest takes him on a detective journey from the stunningly beautiful painted caves of prehistoric France, Spain, and Italy to rock shelters in the mountains of South Africa, where he finds extraordinary Stone Age art. He uncovers clues that lead him to the depths of the Amazon rainforest to drink the powerful hallucinogen Ayahuasca with shamans, whose paintings contain images of "super-natural beings" identical to the animal-human hybrids depicted in prehistoric caves. Hallucinogens such as mescaline also produce visionary encounters with exactly the same beings. Scientists at the cutting edge of consciousness research have begun to consider the possibility that such hallucinations may be real perceptions of other "dimensions." Hancock theorizes that hallucinogens serve to allow the consciousness to access the "junk DNA," strands of DNA we all possess which are considered useless by geneticists, and which possibly store advances in human knowledge which can be accessed through these "plant teachers." He sets out to create a Map of the symbolism of the inner realms, in order to develop a deeper understanding of these transformational experiences. Could the "supernaturals" first depicted in the painted caves be the ancient teachers of mankind? Could it be that human evolution is not just the "meaningless" process that Darwin identified, but something more purposive and intelligent that we have barely begun to understand? A fascinating and very original work!

what's happening with Tuesday's starter?
Guillen said it was still being discussed, but privately it sounds like the decision has been made and it will be "Big Game" Freddy Garcia. The Sun-Times reported on Thursday that Garcia was already saying farewell to his Charlotte teammates, heading to Chicago for the weekend.
"A lot of people recommend Freddy from the minor leagues," Guillen said. "Is that the guy we're going to call up? I don't know yet. Freddy is throwing the ball real good, the ball is coming out of his hand. I think he's got enough starts, but I'm excited to know exactly what we're going to do."

Pick your favorite Street Fighter competition moment - like this - and most likely it stars Daigo Umehara, as Ryu. That's coming to an end, the world champ said, after getting a look at Super Street Fighter IV's arcade edition.
"It's over for projectile characters," Daigo said, with a laugh, in remarks to Famitsu (translated by Shoryuken). All non-projectile characters have been buffed in the arcade edition, Daigo reports. Only Deejay got a buff among fireballers. "Sagat has gotten better, but Ryu, Akuma, Guile, Dhalsim, and I suppose Chun, they've all gotten nerfed., And grapplers have also gotten buffed."
"But I plan to use Yun so it's not a big deal for me," says Daigo.
So, get ready to see a lot of Yun when that character comes to the console version.

Offering Christian Meditation in a Way that is Inclusive of those with Addictions and Mental Illness
Collaboratively written by:
Kathy Coyne, Canada
Terry Doyle, UK
Jeff Ewener, Canada
Pat McSherry, Canada
Michele O'Brien. Ireland
Increasingly, addiction recovery programs and mental health counsellors are encouraging people in recovery to try daily meditation as a way to maintain balance and calmness under sometimes chaotic conditions. Christian Meditation offers a meaningful option for Christians who want to meditate in a way that resonates with their own faith tradition.
However, meditation groups are not always well prepared to "welcome the stranger,' especially someone whose life circumstance may be different than theirs. Some of us who run groups for people with mental illness and addictions have come up with a list of tips to help you make your groups a comfortable place for everyone.
Overall, a person who is living a chaotic lifestyle experiences many challenges when getting involved with a mainstream meditation group. The best approach is to start a separate group where any discussions can be more relevant to how meditation can be useful in recovery and helping to discover inner stability. Once they have begun to show respect for other members (by showing up on time and participating in discussions), an acceptance of the discipline of regular practice, and the willingness and commitment to their own group, they could then be introduced to more mainstream meditation groups. This gradual process makes it a less daunting prospect for the individual, one that is experienced as a sign of progress.
However, every group, especially groups in inner city areas, will at some point have members who are functionally homeless, living with mental distress, or at various stages of a recovery program. Many group members may, without anyone knowing, be dealing with depression, attention deficit disorder, extreme poverty or various addictions that are sometimes less visible but equally life-altering. Many may be experiencing isolation and exclusion in different parts of their life. In Christian meditation, we know that we are one and that everyone is a gift and has a gift. We know also that if anyone feels excluded or cannot offer their gifts, we are incomplete as a community.
Christian meditation can make a difference. Some ideas to help you support these community members in their participation are:
1. Be genuinely welcoming. Vulnerable members of our community often feel invisible. Being authentic and truly present for people without being intrusive is a gentle gift we have to share.
2. Language is important. People who are homeless or people with addictions are first of all people. Encourage group members not to speak about vulnerable people in our community as 'those people,' or 'the addicts,' or 'the prostitutes.' Language like this can make people who may have been homeless at some point, or who are in recovery themselves, not feel safe. Speak the language of the people in the group as much as possible, to the degree that it is honest and natural to you.
3. Although anyone who comes to the group will know that it is a Christian meditation group, too much "God" talk can be off putting for many. The first goal is to help people feel included. Once that happens, you can gradually introduce a deeper exploration of our spiritual foundation. Sensitivity, careful & engaged listening, and faithful humility may overcome resistance and help you find the common ground. It may help to speak personally, from one's own experience -- about what God means in your own life, what you have been able to overcome or deal with, with the help of God, through prayer. But the power of example can exert a gentle pressure that penetrates the thickest resistance, eventually. And will also be translated, over time, into terms the other person needs to hear.
4. The primary focus of a meditation group is the journey and practice of meditation. To support this, encourage people to leave their "stuff" at the door and to sit as silently as possible prior to the start. There are lots of opportunities to offload and problem-solve at other times.
5. Be open to other ways of being. People with mental illness or who are in recovery have a lot of different things going on in their lives. They may arrive late, or fall asleep in meditation a little more frequently than others. Always have a chair for them and welcome them with a smile even if they are late. Accept that sleeping in a safe place may be the best thing for them that evening – or even every evening.
6. People with mental illness may like things a certain way, a certain chair or a personal ritual that they do as they get ready to meditate. Honour this … there may be much for us to learn in this.
7. Some people in poverty may ask for money, and offer a very good reason why you should give it to them. It is a good idea not to, no matter what the reason. You can be prepared for this by being aware of the services in the community, by taking the person for a meal or giving them a ride to where they are going.
8. People who self-identify as being in recovery may appreciate the link with 12 Step programs. Ask them – and if so, consider incorporating prayers that are meaningful to them in some meditations, and invite the person who self-identifies to read from it. You can then also offer Christian meditation as one way for practicing Step 11. Resources to support them using Christian meditation as part of their 11 Step practice are available on the WWCM webpage: http://www.christianmeditation11step.org/
9. Plan carefully how you will facilitate the sharing component. Make sure everyone knows that sharing is optional. It is also really important that no one give advice or opinion on addictions. In particular, never allow the sessions to degenerate into problem-solving and loud and lively discussions about the merits or failings of particular drugs or support agencies.
10. People with mental illness may experience significant anxiety. Some ways to help reduce that is to limit surprises. Find out what talks people like and which they don't like and keep things consistent. Some people find talks by John Main very soothing and talks by others more complicated. See what people are most comfortable with, and use those as often as possible.
11. Engender a sense of welcome and belonging by giving people a voice. Ask for people's input on logistical arrangements. Invite a person who may experience exclusion to be a prayer reader but ask ahead of time so that they can practice or prepare themselves emotionally. Sometimes people are willing to always be a reader, especially if they can read a prayer that they have read many times. Participating in this way fosters confidence and a sense of worth.
12. Be prepared for comments you don't quite understand. Encouraging people to say a bit more is good. So is simply affirming the value of their idea, with "that's a good point" or "I hadn't thought of it that way." But be careful not to allow others to push for explanation or you may end up with a more complicated discussion than you can handle!
13. Support people to participate in the larger meditation community by giving rides to retreats, arranging for scholarships, and staying with them until they get comfortable with a larger group of people they don't know. Consider introducing quiet days for those who are further down the recovery path, and visits to a local monastery if possible.
14. Difference often brings out our fears. Meditation communities are opportunities to "be not afraid" and to share in each other's vulnerability. It is also important to have healthy personal boundaries. Be careful not to create expectations you cannot fulfil. Always be open to the unforeseen. When you are the only ones in the building in the evening, consider having a partner to close up with.
15. Remember that it's not about high numbers. Be content to share more with the few committed ones, rather than pandering to the masses who are not ready or really interested. Be very careful about accepting those who are being pressured to attend from the courts or probation especially if there is more than one. They may hide behind the false front, and spoil things for those who DO want to come.
16. Encourage the few who take to the practice to advocate its merits amongst their peers. Remind them that they are living proof that meditation works. But discourage proselytising – this will scare away many potential beneficiaries, and prevent some from ever coming. Remember that God will find a way even where we can't -- but we should try to avoid making God's task more difficult than it is, by getting people's backs up and driving them away.
All in all, Christian Meditation can help all of us to turn our lives around, and it provides a steady anchor in an often chaotic lifestyle – even our own. It is also an opportunity to be in solidarity with those among us who are vulnerable, as we are called by Christ to be. And as we do so, we enter into our own vulnerability, where Christ is present for eac

Several newspapers are out with stories blasting failed Triple Crown racehorse Big Brown.
The Toronto Star called Big Brown the "biggest flop of all." According to the paper, "No horse with the Kentucky Derby and Preakness in the bag ever crapped out as badly." The Star accuses Big Brown of being a steroid burnout.
Meanwhile the New York Times also questioned whether Big Brown's past success was simply the result of steroids:
Worst of all for Big Brown's connections, perhaps, were the questions about steroids. (Trainer Rick) Dutrow told The New York Times last week that Big Brown had not had his usual shot of the anabolic steroid Winstrol since April 15, enough time for the drug to leave his system.
Was Big Brown's poor performance because of his lack of "juice?"

Recently, when doing my daily blog surfing, I came across this post about "black Confederate" Levi Miller at Richard Williams blog. As with every "black Confederate" that pops up on the radar, I was skeptical. However, Miller received a pension under one of the acts that granted veterans pensions (Miller's was filed under the act of 1902, not the body servants pension act from the 1920s; according to the LVA scan, the pension was prepared and received in 1907).
I've already made clear my stand on the loose interpretation made by some about body servants, cooks, applicants of the body servant pensions, etc. being labeled as soldiers (see 1 and 2). I've also made it clear that I am aware of blacks who were actually on the muster rolls (see another post and the different links that lead to more information about my discovery in Charles Brown of Co. K, 10th Virginia Infantry). So, without going into all that again, this post is an effort to satisfy my own curiousity about Miller, and an example of my method (of course, it's not the only method that I employ to find answers to history-related questions).
First I tried to access the link to a scan of Miller's Confederate pension at the Library of Virginia site, but was unable to access the site at the time (since then, I was able to access it… note that he applied while residing in Frederick County. Oh, and for those who were not aware that these pensions were online, don't get excited. The quality of the images are usually so poor that one can hardly read most of the handwriting on the scans). So, I started "Googling" and found a link to Ervin Jordan's book about Black Confederates (more specifically, the Google Book pages for Jordan's book, on which Levi Miller is mentioned).
The story goes that Miller, a slave from Rockbridge County, Virginia, went to war with his master, who was in the 5th Texas Infantry. I'm a bit confused as to the details of how a slave from Rockbridge County went to war with a master in a Texas unit, but that doesn't mean it's not possible (I've seen stranger things in historical research). I'm also confused over why Virginia granted a pension to a body servant who served in a Texas unit (I really think the legislation was clear that pensions were to go to soldiers who served in Virginia units… I'm going to have to look this up again). Still wanting to know more, and not wanting my information to come from unreliable sources on the Web (I won't name them, just rest assured, they are out there…), I wanted to find a reference to Levi Miller in the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors Database, but I couldn't find him. Remembering many of my own situations, where initials were used instead of first and middle names, I checked the database again. In this effort, I found a L.W. Miller in Co. G, 5th Texas Infantry. However, this seems contrary to the facts surrouding the story about his master Capt. John J. McBride. According to the database, McBride was a member of Company C, not Company G. It seems that Miller should be a member of Co. C. I did some more work on Google and found a link to the obituary (transcribed) for W.A. Nabours, a first sergeant from Co. B, 5th Texas Infantry. In this same obit, there was the mention of two comrades, one being L.W. Miller. Yet, this L.W. Miller appears to have been residing in Milam, Texas. It didn't match-up as Levi resided in Virginia, in Frederick and Rockbridge counties, in the years after the war. So. if this L.W. Miller is not Levi Miller, why doesn't Levi show up in the military rosters? The stories go, that he not only served, but fought… and was "enrolled as a full-fledged soldier" by "unanimous vote of the Texans." Yet, he isn't on the muster rolls.
Like I said earlier, the Library of Va scans are horrible(!!!),especially pages 4 & 5 of Levi Miller's pension record. I really would like to see these. If anyone has better scans, please send them my way. Nonetheless, the pension cleared the county board before being sent to Richmond, and though he did not secure an "Affidavit of Comrades" or "Affidavit of Witnesses, not Comrades," he did receive a "Certificate of Camp of Confederate Veterans," signed by G.W. Kurtz (formerly a captain in Co. K, 5th Virginia Infantry and, at the time of the pension, Commander of the Turner Ashby Camp, U.C.V.), and a "Certificate of Ex-Confederate Soldiers"… all of this is on Page 3 of the pension. However, Page 6 of the pension indicates that there was a problem with the pension as filed. In fact, it appears that there was probably no verifiable record among the combined service records for Confederate soldiers in Washington, D.C. (by experience in dealing with Virginia Confederate pension records, I know that the pension clerk in Richmond had regular correspondence regarding confirmation of service in available Confederate service records in D.C.). This made it necessary for Miller to get a letter from the last captain of Co. C in support of his pension. It's not clear how long since Miller and Capt. Anderson last saw each other, perhaps they had not corresponded since the end of the war? (Of course, I'm just speculating). In any event, this captain sent a letter, and the contents of this letter satisfied the state pension clerk, L.O. Scott.
Again, a critical piece of information is needed before going further… clear copies of pages 4 and 5. One of those is probably the transcription of Capt. J.E. Anderson's letter.
This stuff is fun!

How many people are going for the Trifecta: Roadster, Model S and Model X?
How many people are going for the Trifecta: Roadster, Model S and Model X?
Jeez, Jerry;
suggests the next stages: quad-fecta and quint-fecta when the Bluestar and NextGen Roadster are released! You'll need a lot of outlets. Probably a new (additional) garage, too!
.....and lots of coin.
Having the Model S, along with a second highway comfy "long range" ICE vehicle is all we need. This combo gives us the flexibility to take those long trips, while also saving money on fuel for 95% of our normal driving, without sacrificing on luxury and comfort.
Of course, we could have two Tesla EVs, but at the moment, that's cost prohibitive.
We'll stick with the Roadster and a Model S. That's enough for 2 people.
My prediction: No more than 2,500!
Well, since DarrellH is out, that makes the max 2,499!
Sorry to reduce the number. 8-)
I only have a 2-car garage, which currently holds a Roadster and a Prius. At the end of 2013, the Prius will be gone and a Model X will be in its place. My garage will be 100% electric, with both cars powered from solar.
As much as I love the Model S (LOVE), it doesn't make sense for me. So the number drops to 2498.
What's the % driving you do with each? 50:50? 20:80?
And the R-X combo sounds very interesting. Maybe that could be a "twifecta" count. Or perhaps we could tabulate all 3 possible 2-combos separately!
4 competing charts:
2496. I count at least two "totals" on this page (the others are likely driving again after some repairs):
Brian - Right now I drive my Roadster easily over 90% of the miles (the Prius is only for hauling my pups or a hardware store run or a loaner for guests).
When I get the X, I predict it will be an even mix, but time will tell.
We are organizing a Florida Tesla Motors Club. One of our members has a Roadster and reservations on both a Signature Model S and X.
Why isn't he on the board here? Tell him to drop in!
I'll have a Roadster and an S. Selling the gas car when the S comes. Not going for an X... don't need three cars.
I have S & X on order to replace wife's BMW X5 & Z4, but I'll keep my 1976 Jaguar XJ Coupe. Probably...
Going for the trifecta, and probably quad and quint as the kids come of age.
I'm a total convert to the Tesla Way. I may be keeping a few ICE cars because they might be collectibles and one of our 4x4 F150 for Emergencies.
Getting rid of all the rest.
--- Cherif
There are "variants" of the S coming next year. Cabriolet? Pick-up? Van?
I was only going to go for the R and the X but recently put in an order for an S as well so I guess I'll have the trifecta........ Guess it was meant to be! :-)
Do you mean the existing Roadster, or GenIII platform one?
BrianH are you asking me? then, I have a roadster, had/have a reservation for an X and now, also have also procured a reservation for an S............
Oh, I was wondering if you were planning on a GenIII Roadster, too!
two out of three for me (S and X).... so far. Man, you should not put ideas like this in our heads Jerry.
What is a used Roadster going for anyhow? l No........ don't tell me.
$80K+. Great deals around.
All three for me! I held on to my Roadster and put my deposit on the X
Does anyone have updated info. on who has multiple Tesla's? We are going to be a Model S & X family.
What? No Model E? Pikers.
Not yet since they aren't taking reservations...too early :)
Going for at least the quint. The fleet stands at 4 Teslas so far with two more on order.
I'm looking forward to the variations if they indeed appear (could really use a small truck).
I know for a fact that my wife would love a convertible.
Each kid will likely get one of the new Gen 4 (? The sub 40k model... the E? I'm not up on all the scuttlebutt)
And I'll want the next Roadster if that's still in the cards.
That's the Infecta not the Trifecfa

John Carmack's in there. Will Wright's in there, too. So are Tim Sweeney, Peter Molyneux and Shigeru Miyamoto. And now Gabe Newell will be joining all of those video game luminaries in the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame.
According to the AIAS, the Hall of Fame Award goes to "game creators who have been instrumental in the development of highly influential games and moving a particular genre forward." Newell, of course, has helmed Valve as it rolled out classic games like Half-Life 2 and evolutionary services like Steam. With achievements like those, it's a bit of a surprise that Valve's top executive wasn't already in the Academy's august body. Newell will be inducted by Epic Games' president Mike Capps at next year's DICE Summit in Las Vegas and will be speaking at the conference. DICE isn't usually the kind of gathering where game reveals happen but maybe Mr. Newell will be so moved by the admiration and appreciation that he'll finally spill the beans on Half-Life 3. It's Vegas. Anything could happen.

We thought that breakfast was the best opportunity for growth. We started a breakfast with the principal day, which is done primarily at the elementary schools. The principal picks a day to eat breakfast in the cafeteria and we let the students know. It helps with the principals' visibility, and we have seen increased participation between 20% and 35% on those days.

Hot-hitting Longoria waiting on power stroke
ARLINGTON -- Evan Longoria started at DH Wednesday afternoon. Rays manager Joe Maddon explained that he just wanted to get his All-Star third baseman off his feet for a day.
"Just trying to preserve the number of games he can participate in this year," Maddon said. "In doing it this way, we have an off day tomorrow, so this kind of gives him a half-day here today, full day tomorrow. Going into Friday, he'll be nice and frisky."
Maddon added that Arlington's wet weather had not been a factor in the decision.
Longoria brought a .370 batting average into Wednesday afternoon's game, but this is the deepest into the season he has ever gone without hitting a home run. Maddon did not see that as a problem.
"I just think they're not giving him pitches to hit for power with," Maddon said. "That's part of the issue. His swing is outstanding. He's probably fouled back his pitch a couple of times.
"I think he looks really good at the plate also. I like his willingness to take the ball the other way right now. That's part of what I'd like to see us do more consistently. We talked about it last year. There's a lot of good stuff in the opposite field. I think for a while we've had the kind of guys who were unable to utilize the opposite field. We have a different group of guys now who should be more able to do that."

If you haven't checked out Stephanie's web site before, you really must check it out. Stephanie is know as "The Crock Pot Lady". Last year, 2008, Stephanie vowed to use her crock pot to make something in her crock pot every day for 1 year. I love my crock pot and love this site. A bonus? Stephanie makes most things gluten-free because her daughter has Celiac Disease. Of course I don't mean it is a bonus that her daughter has Celiac, but that there is really no conversion of her recipes needed. I have made several recipes from her site over the past year, but my favorite is this Taco Soup.
One reason that this recipe appealed to me is that there are no onions in it. I could actually make the recipe exactly as stated for once! WOOHOO! That is a celebration in and of itself. I made the soup with ground turkey. That combined with the beans & veggies made this a wonderfully healthy meal. Low in fat, high in fiber. I did have to put it in the food processor for the kids because they are not big on tomatoes, though they like ketchup, marinara sauce & chili. They both liked the soup, though once Hannah found out there was corn in there, she was hesitant to continue to eat. She likes corn, but by itself. Definitely a mental issue for her. I was very pleased with the way this turned out. I froze over half of it in small portions so I would have some quick meals for nights when we are in a hurry.
I look forward to trying more of Stephanie's recipes. 🙂 I especially like some of the dessert ideas. YUM!

Every woman loves sexy shoes, and many of them own numerous pairs. There is no denying though that as much as sexy shoes for women are beautiful and irresistible, they can hurt your feet especially if you wear them for prolonged periods of time. In addition, and not many women can comfortably walk in them.
Still, there is an obsession that women have with sexy high heels that simply will not go away. It is not surprising that some women own shoes they do not wear, while some of them will buy shoes just to look good on their photos. This is quite understandable seeing that there are different types of beautiful shoes.
Three wishes is an online shoe retailer where you can choose different shoe types that suit your taste. We have a wide range of shoes from different brands which range from platforms, sneakers, boots, and peep toe heels. All our shoes are made from good quality materials to guarantee durability. Our prices are reasonable and we do have sale offers occasionally. If you are looking to wow your friends and family members with unique and pretty shoes, you cannot go wrong with us.
The popularity of sexy shoes has continued to soar with the times. The shoe industry continues to experience new shoe innovations every so often. Still, more shoe designers are coming up with unique designs which are popularizing them even more. But why are sexy shoes so popular among the women fraternity?
Sexy shoes boost your confidence and make you feel and look sexy. There is a wide variety of high heeled shoes to choose from. The higher the shoes, the higher the wearer will stand, and this diverts all the attention towards her. Of course wearing high heels changes your standing posture and positions both your derriere and breasts outward.
Some shoe fanatics who probably own hundreds of pairs of sexy shoes say that they give your feet a smaller appearance, which they reiterate is an advantage especially for women whose feet are large. Basically, large feet are not considered to be sexy.
Rocking sexy boots makes your legs appear taller and longer which is said to be attractive. Forget the discomfort that sexy shoes bring forth, invest in a good pair, learn to walk in them, and feel sexy while appearing irresistible, confident, and beautiful.
You can find sexy shoes depending on what you want to achieve. Many of them are designed to help you flaunt your beautiful and shapely legs. Below are various types of sexy shoes you may consider having in your closet.
You can choose to purchase any of your favorite colors. However, dark colors are known to be bold. You may choose between black, grey, and brown if dark colors appeal to you. When it comes to height, you can choose from thigh, knee, and ankle length. There are many heights you can select depending on your preference.
High heel boots are not only sexy, they are stylish and trendy. You can wear them any time regardless of the reason or season. These type of shoes have been in existence in the shoe industry for many years and it keeps getting better.
Black is a versatile color and you can match almost all your outfits with sexy black shoes. These can be likened with the famous little black dress. Whether you choose a stiletto, peep toe, or even a platform, the ordinary black high heel still looks sexy. We can bet that a big percentage of women own at least a pair of black high heels in their closets. If you do not own one or are looking to buy more pairs, we have various types to choose from.
Glittery sandals often come in shiny colors such as; gold, silver, and platinum. You can wear them in both formal and non-formal functions. This is the type of shoe you will want to rock at a garden birthday party, family get together, graduation, or wedding ceremony. If you love parties, this is the shoe for you. You can wear them to personify your dresses and jeans pants. You can also rock them on a dinner date.
Wedge heeled shoes are both stylish and fashionable. Unlike some sexy shoes, wedges offer you height without compromising your comfort. You can easily walk in them and they leave your feet feeling more comfortable. There are various types of wedges which include; boots and sandals. You can wear sandal wedges for a sunny afternoon date, while boot wedges are more appropriate for walking on snow filled trails.
Fashionable and fun shoes are a must have for every woman. A unique design in bright colors leaves you looking stylish and elegant. Convert your simple jeans pant or little black dress into a classic outfit with a pair of these sexy high heels.
There are various types of sneaker boots and they come with varying heights and lengths. Sneaker boots have recently become more popular among shoe lovers because of their versatility and comfort. Additionally, they can complement many outfits whether it is a dress, jeans, or even official pants. You can choose between laced and non laced sneaker boots depending on your preference.
Certainly, the right sneaker boot will leave you looking fashionable, stylish, and classic, while converting your outfit to give you an appealing look. Remember, sneaker boots are elegant and every woman should at least own a pair. These come in handy to keep you warm during winter. They can be made of different materials such as fuzzy uggs or leather.
Did you know that you can tell a woman's personality from her choice of shoes? Daniel Lieberman is a human evolution biology professor who says that women who wear bright colored shoes are risk takers, playful, and generally extroverted. He goes on to say that women who wear neon and hot colored pumps or sandals are likely to be high maintenance. On the other hand, if she loves peacock styled shoes she may want to be idealized and can be quite challenging.
Women who wear flat shoes value their comfort and are more relaxed. They could also be quite realistic according to Lieberman. He goes on to say that women who wear flip flops away from the beach are too laid back, and probably have much more important things to mind other than their shoes. Women who are wearing sneakers most of the time are likely to be both relaxed, low maintenance, and prepared for action which can either be walking to work or going for a work out.
Your shoe style will tell people whether or not you are confident. It is said that women who wear open high heeled sandals are more confident than their counterparts who prefer closed high heels. Many women who take time to groom their feet and toes are said to be meticulous when it comes to grooming their entire body.
Some research indicates that women who prefer wide low heels and wedges are likely to be insecure. Carole Lieberman, MD suggests that women who wear wedges want to get the tall appearance without compromising their comfort.
Women who wear expensive designer shoes are said to be passionate about investing in their personal comfort and style. Christa Scherck, a celebrity stylist says that women who wear expensive shoes to work are likely to value their job, while those who wear expensive shoes to indulge in fun activities are luxurious.
According to a research carried on in the University of Kansas study, experts discovered that conservatives wore more expensive and stylish shoes than liberals. Basically, if a woman spends a huge percentage of her earnings on shoes, she is likely to be more challenging. However, this should not scare away would be suitors since chances are that she can as well afford her luxuries.
Women who love wearing high heels are said be hedonistic (self indulgent). You cannot mention the word hedonistic without thinking about the negative connotation it displays. However, many shoe lovers seem not to mind the fact that they find pleasure in buying numerous pairs of sexy shoes.
Wearing sexy heels is said to give women extreme happiness and as we have seen before, shoes enhance a woman's mood. Women who wear glamorous shoes look and feel good about themselves. While there are many other things that can make a woman look good, shoes are said to bring forth a special kind of feeling.
Women tend to justify their obsession with shoes. Research shows that buying and wearing shoes increases the production of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is also known as a feel good hormone, and is responsible for making you happy. Even then, women will always have numerous excuses for owning more than a hundred pairs of different shoes. Many women say that shoes are necessary and will go out of their way to purchase every type of shoes they can lay their hands on. It is no surprise then that some women have lost count of the number of pairs they own.
