Patented hook and loop design 'breaks' apart under a panic load, but the tie isn't really broken at all! The short end of the tie stays with the horse and the remaining long section is still connected to the wall or trailer. Just catch your horse and put the tie back together! Fantastic idea for stables and it doesn't have the 'snap back' danger of a stretchy tie. Features a panic snap at one end and solid brass trigger snap at the other. A lot more attractive than baler twine everywhere. A great product that will pay for itself!Tie Safe Trailer Tie - adjusts from 29" to 34"

A European initiative for climate service observation and modelling (short ECOMS), funded by the European Commission, will exploit recent advances in our understanding and ability to forecast climate variability and change. It will also work with stakeholders to identify opportunities to develop new and improved tools to extract useful and useable information tailored to the needs of specific sectors (e.g. Energy, health, water resources, food security, forestry, transport, etc.)
Monthly-to-decadal forecasts now hold the potential to be of great value to a wide range of relevant decision making, wherever the outcomes are heavily influenced by climate variability. Despite its potential value in informing European business and adaptation strategy, such forecast information is currently under-exploited.
Therefore, access to credible forecast information, supported by informed guidance, could lead to significant advances in society's ability to effectively prepare for, and manage, climate-related risks.
Chris Hewitt, ECOMS chair said: "Our vision is that by developing end-to-end impact prediction services, operating on seasonal-to-decadal timescales, and clearly demonstrating their value in informing decision -making, we will stimulate a market for these new tools. In doing so, we will increase the competitiveness of European businesses, and the ability of regional and national authorities to make effective decisions in climate-sensitive sectors."
ECOMS consists of three individual international projects focusing on different stages in providing useful guidance to end-users. These are:

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican lawmakers said Sunday they welcome President Barack Obama's courtship and suggested the fresh engagement between the White House and Congress might help yield solutions to the stubborn budget battle that puts Americans' jobs at risk.
Yet the lawmakers cautioned that years of hurt feelings were unlikely to heal simply because Obama dined last week with Republican lawmakers. They also said they would not to rush too quickly into Obama's embrace during three scheduled, and unusual, visits to Capitol Hill next week to win them over.
"He is moving in the right direction. I'm proud of him for doing it. I think it's a great thing," Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said. "I'm welcoming (him) with open arms. I think the president is tremendously sincere. I don't think this is just a political change in tactic. I think he would actually like to solve the problems of this country."
The White House charm offensive comes as automatic spending cuts have begun to take hold, and if Washington does not block them, they could cut jobs as varied as air traffic controllers, meat inspectors and Head Start teachers.
"I hope that this is sincere," said Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, who lunched with Obama at the White House last week. "We had a very good, frank exchange. But the proof will be in the coming weeks as to whether or not it's a real, sincere outreach to find common ground."
His close friend, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., said lawmakers were unlikely to become fast friends with Obama after four years of being vilified in private and, in some cases, public. "I hope that he's genuine. But I don't think we're going to be doing the Harlem Shake any time soon together," Gardner said.
And Tea Party favorite Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin -- who has proved a fiery foil to Obama's agenda -- said he heard from White House chief of staff Denis McDonough and now is willing to give "the president the benefit of the doubt."
"If we're going to solve these problems, it's going to have to be done on a bipartisan basis ... and I think most Republicans are more than willing to work with this president," he said.
Obama hopes this week to woo lawmakers to help avert a coming budget showdown -- the next deadline is March 27, when the current short-term budget extension expires and a government shutdown looms.
Yet Congress is scheduled to leave town on March 22, meaning the president is working on a shortened timeline to avert the latest crisis. And the automatic spending cuts, known as sequester, remain in place despite both parties calling them ill-conceived and -executed.
Senate Democrats said they were ready to pass a spending measure to pay for day-to-day federal operations through September. The measure would impose automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon
"At the end of the day, we're going to have to find a balanced solution," said Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat whose state economy is closely tied to military contractors. The budget cuts are expected to be devastating to Virginia if they are not reversed.
Coburn said he was puzzled that it took so long for Obama -- whom he called a friend after last week's dinner -- to make the effort to work across party lines. "It shouldn't be news that the president is reaching out in a bipartisan fashion," Coburn said.
Obama seems to be making up for lost time after four years of frosty relationships with Capitol Hill. The White House said Obama planned to meet with the Senate Democratic Caucus on Tuesday, House Republicans on Wednesday and Senate Republicans and House Democrats on Thursday. Last week, Obama had Ryan and the Budget Committee's top Democrat, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, to lunch at the White House the day after he dined with a dozen Republican senators.
"I don't know what he's doing, but I would encourage him to do more of it," said Republican former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a brother and son to U.S. presidents who visited five Sunday shows to keep buzz building toward a potential presidential candidacy in 2016. "People are more willing to do so if they believe that their partner is sincere in their efforts. And the only way you can do that is to engage them on a personal level."
Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy, the number-three GOP lawmaker in the House, said Obama's visit might be plain politics and tried to tamp down expectations.

Very Cool, I have a friend that wants me to build him a replica of his car. Any time frame?
1/25 Galaxie Ltd. '46 - '48 Chevrolet Aerosedan
Posted 20 December 2012 - 05:16 PM
Posted 20 December 2012 - 06:59 PM
Sorry Harold, as if there was a projected date I have forgot about it already. I'll check next month and see if I can get any more info on it. Or you could e-mail Galaxie and ask them?
Posted 26 December 2012 - 04:09 PM
I won the sedan delivery kit with the complimentary raffle ticket I got with my show entry at the OSSM show in Clackamas a couple of years back, I also recently completed the Aerosedan, but haven't had a chance to take any finished pics
I dechromed the carbs and intake manifold and metalized them:
The interior was kept pretty simple- the white is just the primer:
Body color painted and kit decals applied- I ended up not liking the ones on the skirts so I nixed 'em:
I attached the front fenders before painting the body on the Sedan Delivery, and followed the instructions on the Aerosedan- if I build another one I'll probably attach the fenders first, it seemed to turn out better that way although it was a little more work to wetsand. I also cut the top end of the front spindles so they would install "deeper" in the upper suspension arms, whose mounting points were also raised slightly on the Aerosedan so it would sit lower.
They are great kits and well-worth building, but I did notice a couple of problems, the one that comes to mind is the chrome headlight bezels on both kits had sinks in the tops that were pretty noticeable- on the Sedan Delivery I stripped them and used some Mr. White putty to fill the low parts, then metalized them and buffed them out. I left the ones on the Aerosedan chrome as I was trying to finish it in time for a contest, which I did... at 4:45AM the day of the meet where it won 1st place in Box Stock class, sitting there gassing out paint fumes
Posted 29 December 2012 - 11:33 AM
One of the best kits the hobby has ever seen, period.
Posted 29 December 2012 - 04:18 PM
VERY nice work on that sedan delivery, Mike.
Which Metallizer did you use for the headlight retaining rings? It looks close enough to kit chrome to work well for the small parts.

Thanks for the kind comment, Charlie. I used MM "aluminum plate" buffing metalizer in the rattlecan for the headlight bezels- it has the best chrome appearance IMO

Way to go Mike You won Floyds Sedan Delivery and I got the Aero Sedan. Very Nice build!!! Really like the interior!!

Has anybody else had a problem with at least one of the rear bumper mounts being broken? In all but two I've opened, they were that way.
Posted 06 January 2013 - 10:03 AM
I have both kits, and have not built them yet, only because I have not decided on the build. I have seeen a couple built up, and they are exquisite. There was a sedan delivery not too far from me, which I would have liked to built a replica of, but the guy moved away. That said, these kits are among the best detailed out of the box kits I have ever seen. I have built several different brands of model cars, some good kits and some bad, but to malign this one does not make any sense to me.
Posted 06 January 2013 - 10:44 AM

Neither of mine were broken to start with, but I managed to break them myself without too much effort.

text: Twin Nursery for Berkley and Haxton « previous return to gallery next » A Project For: Berkley and Haxton Age: 10 months Location: Fort Worth, Texas Description: Our obsession with geometric patterns and vibrant colors were our focal point in this nursery along with adding an arrangement of old and new. We were aiming for a calm, relaxing room that could be comfortable for this growing family, designating specific colors to each twin to reflect their gender but still using the same print of fabric to show they came as a pair! Design Inspiration: Our inspiration came from the child-sized vintage double desk we found at an antique auction and the original fashion sketches. When we were coming up with the design of this nursery, we asked the parents about doing vintage illustrations above each crib. They loved the idea and from there we found that the twin's great-grandmother had original sketches she had drawn from the 50's. The illustrations were so fabulous, we fell in love with them instantly making them a must in this project. Decorating Style: We would define the nursery as an eclectic mix of traditional and modern, pops of aqua blue here and bubble gum pink there with a twist of patterns and texture. Project Details: Bedding-custom-made with each of the twins' initials monogrammed on the bumpers Crib(s)-by Bonavita Dresser/changing station-from IKEA Upholstered Swivel Glider-from Buy Buy Baby Vintage child-size double desk-bought at an antique auction, custom monogram on seat backs Vintage (pink) cabinet-random find on a side street!!! Rug-Urban Outfitters Vintage fashion sketches (above Berkley's crib)-drawn by the twins' great-grandmother in the 50's Vintage pictures (above Haxton's crib)-found at an antique market Pillows and baby blankets-vary from TJMaxx to Neiman Marcus Favorite Items: Definitely the vintage double desk and the original fashion sketches by the twin's great-grandmother, loved adding a little history to the room! Advice: Step out of your comfort zone and try something different to make your space original. Add something vintage that has a great story behind it and some small monogrammed pieces to make the room more personal! And don't forget to have fun!

Livingston is in God's country (East Texas Piney Woods, more
specifically, in the "Big Thicket") -- but you know that already.
The redbud trees are blooming right now. I don't know if there are
any dogwoods left in the area or if the anthracnose epidemic killed
'em all.

Excellent stacking rings
This review is from: Narrow faceted tungsten carbide ring with mother of pearl inlays
Pros: I ordered three of these to replace my traditional wedding ring set, which has a raised setting and doesn't really work for daily wear. I got a lot more than I bargained for...these rings stack well, but they also look really good on either side of a silver filigree antique ring, or a plain sterling band channel set with crystals. The inlay is gorgeous, and faceted style really sparkles. The price is great, too!
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: This merchant provided excellent service and communication.

To Boost Mobile Banking Adoption, Engage Branch And Call Center Staff Says Fiserv White Paper
Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, has published a new white paper that explains how financial institutions can boost mobile banking adoption by utilizing frontline staff at branches and call centers as mobile banking experts. The complimentary white paper, "Mobile Banking Adoption: Your Frontline Staff Holds the Key to Growth," can be downloaded at fiserv.com/frontline-staff.
By taking advantage of the referral power of frontline staff, financial institutions can actively drive mobile banking adoption above the typical 15 to 20 percent rate expected among online banking customers. The majority of consumers still lack knowledge about mobile banking and the benefits it offers. Frontline staff can serve as an influential source of information about mobile banking to build awareness of benefits and educate customers on how to get started using the service.
By equipping frontline staff with the right tools and resources, financial institutions can ensure efforts to drive mobile adoption are successful. A comprehensive "Strategies for Success" program should incorporate:
- Employee Training – Design training programs to educate staff on mobile banking value and steps for online and offline enrollment.
- Employee Incentives – Increase staff engagement by providing incentives, such as opportunities for prizes, for promoting and enrolling customers in mobile banking.
- Consumer Marketing and Promotional Materials – Impactful tools and resources, such as staff talking points, consumer takeaways and in-branch collateral, will effectively aid in the promotion of mobile banking.
- Metrics to Evaluate Success and Impact– Establishing then measuring success metrics, such as percentage of active uses and mobile transaction volume, enables financial institutions to note growth and areas where adoption is lagging to best focus marketing campaigns.
- Ongoing Engagement with Users – Continued engagement enables frontline staff to remind mobile banking users of the benefits and value of mobile banking, which could lead to increased usage and convenience for customers.
"Mobile banking can provide a positive return on investment for financial institutions, as use of the service can drive incremental transaction volume and shift transactions away from higher cost channels, while also improving customer satisfaction," said Erich Litch, division president, Digital Channels, Fiserv. "Branch and call center staff are a tremendous asset that financial institutions have at their disposal, and utilizing them to promote adoption and use of strategic services such as mobile banking can be highly effective."

Kurt Elling's Passion World is a tour-de-force concert of songs of love collected from throughout the world. Said The New York Times, "Elling is the standout male vocalist of our time," and here Elling brings his arsenal of talents to songs of love and loss as performed in their native languages. As Elling also provides rich background stories to the history and context of each of the carefully selected songs, one is swept away on a grand, multicultural, tour of exotic places, cultures and times. It has been said "When words stop…the music begins", and Passion World will enthrall whether you understand every word or not. Passion World ignites the imagination of concertgoers as it provides a captivating review of the human condition of love and all that it can mean. Commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center, Kurt Elling's Passion World is a magic carpet in which Elling and his band take you on a fascinating journey through a realm of romance during a concert event that is not to be missed.

Kurt Elling Symphony
With his extensive library of orchestral arrangements, Kurt Elling has executed commanding performances with the National Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Nashville Symphony, and many others. He now adds to that library with Passion World — a tour-de-force program of love songs from around the world. Said The New York Times, "Elling is the standout male vocalist of our time," and here Elling brings his arsenal of talents to internationally famous songs of love and loss performed in their native tongues. Jazz speaks all languages, especially the language of love, and whether you are a native speaker or not, the meaning of the heart is always clear. Elling tells rich stories about the history and context of each of these songs to sweep audiences away on a grand, multicultural tour of exotic places, cultures, and times. Passion World ignites the imagination as it provides a captivating review of the human experience of love and all that it can mean. First commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center, a fresh new recording of Kurt Elling's Passion World will be released by Concord/Universal in 2015. Passion World is a musical magic carpet taking you on a fascinating journey through the realms of romance in English, French, Portuguese, Italian, German and more.
Elling Swings Sinatra
"The standout male vocalist of our time" (The New York Times), Grammy Award winner Kurt Elling pays homage to the legendary male vocalist of the 20th century with Elling Swings Sinatra.

The standout male vocalist of our time
The New York Times
Since the mid-1990s, no singer in jazz has been as daring, dynamic or interesting as Kurt Elling. With his soaring vocal flights, his edgy lyrics and sense of being on a musical mission, he has come to embody the creative spirit in jazz.
The Washington Post
What a sound he makes! Elling may control that four-octave rage with icy precision, but he combines perfection with a warmth and humour that makes it listenable: his albums don't go stale. He treats lyrics with respect, revealing grace and meaning in everyday sentiments.
The Guardian
Arguably the greatest jazz singer of his generation

Newly svelte ''Bachelor'' star Bob Guiney has shed at least 30 pounds and his old rock band, Fat Amy, but he's still trying to make it as a rocker in case, you know, this reality-TV thing falls through. His solo debut CD, called ''3 Sides'' and released on the indie Marley & Matthew label, will be available starting Oct. 7 on Amazon.com and in stores sometime next year.
The official description of the album as posted on the website describes Guiney's music as ''a sound reminiscent of matchbox 20 [for whom Fat Amy used to open] meets John Mayer with poignant style and depth.''
''I have never quit writing songs,'' Michigan native Guiney told hometown paper the Lansing State Journal last week. ''I just wasn't performing. The name Fat Amy was kind of a joke anyway. I couldn't use it now, because the band isn't together.'' Guiney plans to tour in support of the album sometime next year, after his '"Bachelor'' duties are over.
Don't expect him to dally with groupies, however. [Warning: Spoiler ahead.] With the taping of the series already finished, Bob has apparently chosen a suitor. ''I'm not out there philandering about,'' he told the Journal. ''There's only one woman for me.''

By Alexa van Sickle, Assistant editor
It was, several older colleagues told me, one of the most thought-provoking discussions they had heard at the institute. With Britain's ageing Trident nuclear deterrent in the news again – as defence cuts bite and a divided coalition government reviews the options for a replacement system – four of the United Kingdom's most respected former civil servants came to Arundel House last week and delivered a one-and-half-hour masterclass in nuclear policy.
Life post-Taliban: solving local grievances keyPosted: 13/12/2012 Filed under: Afghanistan, Alexa van Sickle, Defence | Tags: DDR, demobilisation, disarmament, peace processes, reconciliation, reintegration, reintegration shura, Taliban Leave a comment
By Alexa van Sickle, Assistant Editor
As NATO prepares to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014, a key part of the transition to Afghan security leadership will be persuading members of the Taliban insurgency to reconcile with the government in Kabul. The Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration Programme (APRP) designed to do this has so far encouraged 5,000 insurgents to give up their weapons, according to Major General David Hook of the Royal Marines.
Hook told the IISS this week that only 20% of Taliban interviewed as they entered the programme claimed to be fighting for ideological reasons. Often, they were motivated instead by local grievances.
'Part of the design of the APRP was to address these local grievances,' said Hook. 'If you address [the grievance] locally, you can pull them in.' This was particularly important because analysis also showed that more than 75% of ordinary fighters remained within 20 miles of their village. About 78% of all those joining the APRP process said they did so because they were tired of fighting.
The APRP, an Afghan-led social reintegration process backed by international funding, is one of three related reconciliation-and-reintegration 'tracks' in Afghanistan, alongside political negotiations towards a 'grand bargain' between the government and Taliban leaders, and so-called 'high-level reintegration' seeking to persuade insurgent leaders to stop fighting the government and support it instead.

City extends Winslow Way comment period
The city has extended the comment period on a Mitigated Determination of Non-significance for the Winslow Way reconstruction project for another seven days.
Comments on the project must be submitted no later than 4:00 p.m. on June 9.
The city said they were extending the deadline as a courtesy to notified parties.
The extension follows a MDNS for the project that was issued on May 15. An MDNS determination allows the project to bypass a full review under the State Environmental Policy Act.
Completion of the notice period brings the project closer to its December 2009 contract date, with construction slated to begin in March 2010 and last through November 2010.
Individuals can appeal the MDNS determination by paying $530 and preparing detailed factual objections. All appeals must be received no later than June 16.

Osho continues:
"You cannot believe it: just a moment before it was there, so colorful, so real, and suddenly it is not found at all and there is no way to find it. It only appeared; it was not a reality, it was just a dream. One is awake and the dream has disappeared. Nothing happens to the dream.
"To Rajneesh also, nothing happened; it was never there in the first place. I was asleep, that's why he was there. I awoke and I couldn't find him, and it happened so unexpectedly there was no time to ask the question. Simply, the guy disappeared, and there seems to be no possibility to find him again because there is only one possibility: if I fall asleep again only then I can find him – and that is impossible.
"Once you are totally conscious, the very root of being unconscious is cut. The seed is burned. You cannot fall into unconscious again.
"Every day you can fall into unconscious in the night, because the unconscious is there. But when your whole being becomes conscious there is no place inside you, no dark corner where you can go and sleep – and without sleep, no dream.
"Rajneesh was a dream that happened to me. Nothing can happen to Rajneesh: what can happen to a dream? Either it is there if you are asleep, or it is not there when you are awake. Nothing can happen to a dream. A dream can happen to reality; reality cannot happen to a dream. Rajneesh happened to me as a dream.
"So this is my question also. If you have ears, listen, and if you have eyes you can see. One day suddenly the old man is no longer found inside the house – just emptiness, nobody there. You move, you search: nobody is there, only a vast expanse of consciousness with no center, with no boundary. And when the personality disappears – and all names belong to personality – then for the first time the universal has arisen in you. The world of naam-roop, the name and the forms, disappears and the formless is suddenly there.
"This is going to happen to you also."

At Witz' End: Observations after driving the Chevy Volt (and getting 26.1 and 81.5 mpg)
Chevrolet Volt – Click above for high-res image gallery
"The Chevrolet Volt is an electric vehicle that is capable of being your only car," said Volt Marketing Director Tony DiSalle at the Volt media launch briefing. "You have the freedom to 'fuel up' at home, yet you're not tethered to a charge station. You can't always plan your day around charge opportunities." He added that General Motors is counting on very positive feedback from Volt early adopters thrilled by its "unprecedented customer experience."
The Volt's promise, first made at a December 2006 media briefing prior to the concept's January 2007 Detroit Auto Show debut, was that it would run on inexpensive energy off the grid for the first 40 miles, then go as far as needed on electricity generated by a small ICE. It would be a non-fuel-burning, tailpipe-emissions-free electric vehicle (EV) for at least the first part of each day's drive, then a fuel-efficient compact the rest of the way. Thus, it would eliminate "range anxiety," that sweaty-palm fear of running out of battery before you run out of trip.
This all sounded good, but the skepticism of many leaving that briefing four years ago was largely justified: how well would this unique series-hybrid system work; would GM have the commitment and resources to get it done; and – even if so -- could it be sold profitably at an affordable price? Now that the Volt is finally here, we know it's a very nice car. Find out what else we learned after the jump.
Based on the same platform as Chevy's all-new 2011 Cruze sedan, the Volt is about the same size and even looks a little Cruze-like, even though it has an aero-optimized shape and is a 5-door hatchback, not a sedan. Its Chevy-signature twin grille ports are covered by aluminum-look bars, its interior is completely different, and its two-passenger back seat is less roomy due to the centrally-located battery pack.
The interior is a mix of conventional (a nice Cruze-like steering wheel with convenient audio and cruise controls, stalks for turn signals and wipers, comfy seats and PRNDL shifter) and unique. The iPod-like shiny plastic vertical console (looks better in grey than white) offers touch buttons for audio, climate and standard navigation, plus the electric park brake and propulsion on/off. Fits and materials are good, with soft upper dash and door-panel pads and nicely grained plastic elsewhere. Only the contrasting "high-tech wallpaper" pattern on the doors struck a jarring note to my eyes.
A "coin stack" graph on the left indicates EV range, while a graphic rotating wheel on the right zips up and down to show power flow out of the battery and regen back to it. In between is a compass over a large digital speedo, plus readouts for trip miles, range (electric and gas), fuel used and average fuel economy. A knob on the left rotates through displays for tire pressures, engine oil life, two trip odometers and a helpful "tutorial" mode.
GM claims a total range of "up to" 350 miles on full battery and 9.3-gallon gas tank, and that's how we started our drive. At 10.9 city/suburban miles, driving normally in "Normal" mode, we noted 38 miles EV range remaining for a projected total of 48.9. (The two other selectable modes are "Sport" and "Mountain," the former trading some range for performance, the latter reserving some battery energy for long upgrades.) At 19 miles, we stopped at GM's Warren, MI. Technical Center for a briefing with 27 miles of EV range remaining -- a projected total of 46 at that rate of usage.
The "Voltec" (formerly "E-Flex") propulsion system begins with a 111 kW (149-hp) electric drive motor that generates a healthy 273 lb-ft of torque from zero rpm for strong launch response. There's no shifting or powertrain noise – just smooth, swift, silent acceleration. At higher cruise speeds, the smaller 55 kW (73-hp) motor/generator joins in to keep the drive motor in its most efficient range (a 10-15-percent efficiency gain).
When the battery runs down, the 84-hp DOHC dual-VVT 1.4-liter ICE fires up (almost undetectably) and operates in its most efficient speed range (2200-4200 rpm) driving the motor/generator to keep electricity flowing to the drive motor. At higher speeds with the battery depleted, both the motor/generator and the ICE assist the drive motor through the complex and clever planetary gearbox for best efficiency, though the engine can't power the car on its own. EV purists find this controversial, but if it increases efficiency, why would you not do it?
It may also be controversial that this little range-extender engine requires premium fuel (mostly). But Volt Powertrain Chief Engineer Pam Fletcher explains that high-octane gas adds 5-10 percent efficiency by enabling a higher compression ratio and more spark advance. Why not have it recharge the battery instead of providing just enough juice to power the car. "It would be inefficient to charge the battery using gasoline," she said. "We don't want you to pull into your garage with a full battery. That would defeat the purpose."
The 435-lb. GM-engineered (except for the cells) battery pack holds 16 kWh of energy in 288 liquid-cooled lithium-ion-phosphate/manganese cells. Every cell is precisely temperature controlled and micro-balanced by four individual controllers. While the original intent was to use just 50 percent of the pack's energy to extend its life and keep it far away from low and high state-of-charge extremes, the engineers now have opened that window to 65 percent – hence the revised 25-50-mile EV range claim (vs. the original 40). GM says the pack is designed to last 10 years in normal service and warrants it for eight years/100,000 miles.
Following the briefing, we drove 16.8 city miles, some in Sport mode with the heater on, before changing drivers. With four miles of electric range remaining, our projected total had slid to (19 + 16.8 + 4 = ) 39.8 miles, and the gasoline fuel-economy meter still said "250+" mpg – really, that should read "infinity," since we had consumed no gas at all. Some eight miles later, we noticed that the range-extender engine had started and the gas range meter said 247 miles. Should you run the gas tank dry, by the way, the battery reserve allows about five more miles to find a station.
We arrived at a lunch stop at 34.1 miles (53.1 total) with 240 miles of gas range remaining. We had burned just 0.3 gallons of gas and achieved gas/electric composite fuel economy of 112.7 mpg. After lunch (with no battery recharge), we drove 48.1 gas-only city/suburban miles, some of them aggressive, at a respectable 33.9 mpg. Our total trip, counting the first roughly 40 on electric, came in at a very impressive 81.5 mpg.
A few days later (during North American Car of the Year testing), I reset the B trip odometer and flogged a battery-depleted Volt hard in Sport mode on twisty back roads. I found it surprisingly quick, agile and fun despite its low-rolling-resistance tires and 3,781-lb curb weight. I averaged just 26.1 mpg on that spirited drive, but the A trip meter (which factored in other testers' earlier EV-only and gas-powered driving) said 54.2 mpg. Not bad at all.
So, the Volt is what was promised: a "pure" electric vehicle, up to a point. After that, it's a series hybrid – except at higher cruise speeds, when it morphs temporarily into a uniquely-driven parallel hybrid. But if this set-up enables owners who drive short distances most days to do it on zero fuel, yet provides fuel-efficient compact-car extended range when needed, what's the downside?
Well, there are a couple of big ones: the engine, complex gearset and sophisticated controls add a major cost increment over a battery-only electric; and limited availability of vehicle-size lithium-ion packs will limit Volt production for the first few years, at least.

The Ginger Tree's successful run coming to an endBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | August 05,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Martha Dwyer has decided it's time to retire. After 35 years in business, she is closing The Ginger Tree. The store opened in 1978 on Wales Street in downtown Rutland and then moved to North Main Street.Thirty-five years ago Martha Dwyer was a nurse looking for a career change. She found it — making the switch from caring for patients to helping women find the right clothing and accessories.
Now, after a successful second career as owner of The Ginger Tree, Dwyer is retiring from the business and closing the store on North Main Street.
"It's just time," Dwyer said the other day while sitting behind a large wooden desk in her cluttered, but well-organized office.
The decision to close the store, located in a former Victorian house, wasn't easy.
But as she approaches her 70th birthday, she said it's time to move on.
"It's very sad for me," Dwyer said. "I really, really love it. I love the women I work with. I've met great customers that are just wonderful, who have become good friends."
Within three years after she and her husband, Phil, opened the store on Wales Street in what is now Two Sheas bar, they outgrew the space and relocated to 45 North Main St. It's been there ever since.
The store is situated at the well-traveled intersection of Routes 4 and 7, which made it an excellent location.
Dwyer said 75 percent of her customers found the store simply driving by.
The store has its charm, from the stained glass front door to the parquet wood floor with neatly positioned racks of clothing and accessories.
Seeing a need in the community, Dwyer started out selling maternity and women's clothing in larger sizes, 12 to 26. About 15 years ago, as U.S. manufacturers got out of the business and quality suffered, Dwyer decided to drop maternity from the store's portfolio. The store filled that void with black tie and mother of the bride and groom wear. The store also expanded its inventory, carrying sizes from 6 to 26 — missy, petite and plus — along with sportswear and outerwear.
Not to be overlooked, Dwyer said the store does a good business in accessories, everything from jewelry and scarves to handbags and candles.
Neatly attired in a black dress, ruffled blouse and black shoes, Dwyer recalled growing up a stone's throw from her shop.
"I grew up two doors down where CVS is," she said.
Her father was Jimmy Marro, a businessman and real estate developer.
Pinned on her office bulletin board are odds and ends and memories, including family photos. One faded color photo shows her father, husband, and two sons, posing with Ted Williams on one of his visits here to play golf. His friend and golf partner was Bob Franzoni, who ran a downtown sporting goods store.
For Dwyer, though, there has been little time for rest and relaxation over the years.
She said running a retail business is nonstop.
"It's a lot of hours," she said.
The store is open six days a week until 6 p.m., and from noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.
"We're open seven days, which works, and we're open until 6 p.m., which is very, very important because women work," Dwyer said.
When she's not at the store, Dwyer goes on buying trips four or five times a year, staying on top of the latest fashion trends.
Besides locals, many of the store's customers are second-homeowners. The store also draws customers from as far away as Burlington, Glens Falls, N.Y., and Lebanon, N.H.
As for the future, Dwyer said she never had any plans to sell the business. Once the inventory is gone, she'll try to lease the building, which has two apartments on the second floor.
On the last day, when she finally closes the door behind her, Dwyer will take away 35 years of memories.
"It's definitely time consuming and you've got to love it," she said. "I really do like it."

As most of my readers already know, we spent last week away on Vancouver Island (read: favourite) enjoying some fun in the sun with our family friends. As is tradition, I took a tonne of photographs and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. By the end of the week, all of us were worn out, sunburnt and needed a vacation from our vacation! At the start of the week, however, we were surrounded by kids, one of which was a nine year old who wanted desperately to host a "kid party" at the farm. And honestly? When a nine year old wants to party? You let her!
In preparing for the party, there was a dressup station created for kids to be whatever they wanted. Watching everyone get into different clothes was so much fun. We had a lot of laughs together that day!
Every party requires snacks, and on top of cutting up veggies and dip, our friends Mandy and Grace made some pretty amazing cupcakes for everyone to enjoy. The idea is one that I think gained popularity from a photo that was passed around on Pinterest last year. I had seen the images of rainbow cupcakes, but kind of thought that the process would be a pain. In fact, it's a lot of clean up… but not really hard to do. And the results are simply spectacular. There's a recipe to create these rainbow cupcakes from scratch here, but in our case we just used packaged mix and then followed the directions for colouring and distributing. Regardless of whether you make your cake mix from scratch, the brightly coloured batter will be sure to turn into amazingly fancy cupcakes for your event or just for fun.

They have been making love to their mother since the age of 10 and they only orgasm when a woman talks about how small and pink their penis is... just like their mom used to do.
