One of the biggest cost to Tesla right now is maintenance of these cars. There are not enough garages to service them. If you are outside the range of a Tesla service centre, they will drive a replacement car to you, take yours away on a truck, then return it once it is fixed. For general maintenance, they have mobile trucks that can do basic maintenance and repairs. A lot of the cost of the vehicles today is to factor in those costs. As Tesla grows, and their presence grows, that cost becomes less. There are recycling programs in place today to deal with their batteries. Other issues with Tesla cars are they need to be really light weight, so the metals they use can be more expensive then a regular car. The charging of batteries can shift / mask environment concerns as well. For many areas in the states, you are shifting powering cars by gasoline to coal (since coal generated electricity would recharge the cars battery). Still not great for the environment. I've read some studies that say the overall impact if you include manufacturing of the battery of these cars to normal cars aren't much better if they are being powered by coal. (coal being more efficient for the environment then gas, but the manufacturing process adds to that). But for wind and hydro electricity, there is a net benefit. I have no problem with the government subsidizing these types of things in the beginning , but there has to come a time when they've advanced the technology enough they can be self sufficient.

According to the liberals Others say there is a $4 billion surplus Debt and deficit are not the same thing. Harper ran 6 deficits contributing $150B to the debt. Now the impact of that debt compared to GDP growth may be something else. But for a fiscal conservative, he ran a lot of deficits.

I think there is a good chance we lose Poolmam now. He will finish College then only have to wait a few months to become free agent. He will still have to sign an ELC, but he will be able to go to whatever city is better for him either geographically or opportunity. Now, he went to school @ UND and born in Grand Forks, so it isn't entirely out of the question that he would choose here. But if the Wild were to offer him a contract as well... He was a 5th round draft pick and was drafted when he was 20. He has good size, not sure he would be more then a 3rd pairing in the NHL if he were ever to make it.

Because of the vast differences of the game, this part makes me feel better. This part, not so much... Great opportunity for the refs, but we can't really afford to lose our best refs. Although I find it unlikely they end up hiring any of our refs.

Here are the apparent quotes from her. http://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/452458/Sharon-Stone-was-angered-after-seeing-famous-Basic-Instinct-scene-for-the-first-time Is she being honest here or mis-remembering ... who knows.

Apparently Stone didn't know the extent of what was shown in that scene until she saw it in the theatre. The director convinced her to go commando duel to lines showing through her white dress and she didn't realized what the camera angle would pick up.

Welcome!

There is no doubt there are some issues there with what she did. And I would surmise she was heavily influenced by Bernardo, but that still doesn't make the comparison to Vince Li at all valid. Vince Li was found NCR (Not Criminally Responsible). Homolka was not. The reason is that in Vince's mind, he literally thought he was killing a monster or whatever vision he saw. Had he known it was a person, he wouldn't have done it. Homolka was criminally responsible, and regardless of what influence and issues she had to deal with, on some level she knew what she was doing was to another human being. What Vince Li did was horrible, there is no doubt, and he needs to be under supervision to make sure it doesn't happen again, but the mental issues he suffers from is not at all the same as people who suffer from abuse / neglect / or whatever caused Homolka to do what she did. Imagine the first job that you worked at. Imagine all the people you met. The ones you hated. The ones you liked. Imagine your boss, your friends, conversations you had with them, things you did with them at work and after work. Imagine that whole world. Now imagine someone tells you today that all of that is a fabrication of your mind. What you thought with 100% certainty was reality, isn't. That is really what it is like for someone with Schizophrenia. Somewhere in her mind, Homolka knew what she was doing. Vince Li did not.

Vince Li is not at all the same situation as Carla Homolka, and although he has killed someone he actually isn't capable of knowingly doing it. He didn't know he was killing a person, in his mind it was some other thing he was killing, and he has to live with what happened in reality the rest of his life on top of the mental health issues he has. Because of that one event, Vince Li, wherever he is living, will forever be monitored to be sure he is taking his meds. What Hamolka did, she did with the full cognisant knowledge of it, and with her parole, she won't be monitored anywhere near as close as Vince Li, if at all. So while I can understand your apprehension of living close to Vince Lee, the risk of him re-offending is lower then some other random crime or accident taking your life, yet I don't see you talking about barricading yourself indoors in bubble wrap to avoid traffic accidents and deadly viruses. I get you are only comparing living in the same neighbourhood as these people, but making the comparison of Homolka to Vince Li does a big disservice to people who suffer from mental health issues.

Not a big surprise, but it looks like the Conservatives are in.

Poll projections as of yesterday had St Norbert as 96% PC

Have a buddy who is running in this election and they actually get info by polling station within their ridings from Elections Manitoba. He knows which area voted which way in the last election. He spends most of his time on the areas that support him and the swing votes. Minimal effort on the areas where he doesn't have much chance.

Did anyone watch the Philly / Washington game last night? Apparently they had a tribute to Ed Snider where they handed out bracelets to everyone in attendance. En route to a 6 - 1 loss, those in attendance eventually started littering the ice with the bracelets. The PA announcer pleaded with them to stop and warning them that the team would take a penalty if they didn't. The Flyers were awarded a bench delay of game because of the fans, who apparently cheered when they got the penalty. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/philly-flyers-fans-draw-penalty-during-playoff-loss/ The word 'embarassing' was trending on Twitter in the Philadelphia area. Snider had owned the Flyers since they were an expansion franchise in 1966. Could you ever see a time, 30 - 40 years from now, when Chipman passes away and the Jets have a night to commemorate him, would the fans here ever show the same disrespect?

Technically, you could clone a male to a female if you duplicate the X chromosome of the male that determines gender and discard the Y chromosome. But you couldn't go the other way because you would' be able to get a Y chromosome from a female. Though it then wouldn't be an exact copy and there would be an increased chance of birth defects. However it would be possible. I however find it highly unlikely they would do this.

I agree with the bold part. My personal experience with health care is that the ER absolutely sucks, but if you can ever can convince them that what you have is legit or they finally get around to looking at you, especially if it is really a life and death type of emergency, once you get in, the service is fantastic. I like the idea of these quick care clinics to handle a lot of what people go to the ER for. The problem is there isn't enough education around them, and people don't really know of them. If you could expand them to also handle broken legs and things, it would take a strain off of ERs, where ERs could be saved for true emergencies.

Nothing would have happened, it is just how they operated through their teachings.

The rule of 2 was implemented by the sith as a way to avoid the dark years when many Sith Lords fought for power and there was basically anarchy With the Jedi and Sith both in disarray there is nothing to stop anyone from breaking the rule of 2, especially if the teachings have been lost over time.

Coal is used quite extensively in the states, as much as 50% of their energy in some areas. It is less used in Canada but is still in use. Lucky to have hydro electricity here in MB.

I don't think you can have it both ways. The bonuses are put in there at the beginning of the season by the agents. This forces the team to commit to the player prior to the season starting. If there was no bonus, then a team could hang on to a player throughout training camp and cut him before the season starts. It would allow the team to string a player along even if they had no intention of keeping him, if only to keep him from other teams. Putting a bonus at the beginning of the season forces the team to declare their intention on the player before the season starts. If they get cut because of it, at least it happens in the off season where they have a chance of getting on with another team as opposed to training camp when rosters are full and it is tougher for teams to sign the players.

Yeah if they are eliminated in the first round, I think all those teams who are eliminated in the first round get ordered by the regular season rankings.

I disagree on Kovalchuk. They are celebrating the "Jets" history, not the franchise history. People are more excited about the alumni game then the actual NHL outdoor game. Why? Because it is a chance to see all the players a lot of us grew up watching, following, and cheering for. Who here has even a remote connection to Kovalchuk other then the respect you would give to any NHL superstar.
