Like most software companies, Quantrix offers technical support on its products. But unlike many software companies, the Quantrix help desk is not outsourced to an external provider – it is staffed by employees of our parent company, IDBS, a developer of software solutions for scientific research and discovery. So, when you call for help, you reach a member of our team. Here's an introduction to one of our Lead Support Analysts, Dr. Alison Campbell.
What is the support team like?
There are 12 of us based in Guildford, England, and we all have a science background. Nine of us have PhDs, and the remaining three have Masters degrees, so we're probably one of the best-qualified help desks around! My background is in Toxicology and Biochemistry, and I have a PhD in Biomolecular Medicine.
Both Quantrix and IDBS have customers around the world – how do you manage the calls?
We work on a shift basis, and the help desk is open from 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM UK time. Everyone is trained in all products, so there is always someone on hand to answer questions on Quantrix. No one has to wait for a specific person. We work closely with the development and testing teams if there is a more complex issue that we haven't seen before or need extra input on.
What kind of calls do you get?
It varies from simple questions such as, "what does this error mean?" to something more complex where a model doesn't calculate the way they want. We then step through all of their tables and calculations to see if there is a problem with the software or with the model. In addition to answering calls via the phone, we also publish information in the knowledge base so that people can search for answers.
What happens when you get requests for new features?
We work closely with the Product Manager at Quantrix to pass along any enhancement requests for future releases.
What advice can you give to Quantrix users about how to get the most out of their support experience?
If something's urgent, fire us up – we are always here to help. We will ask you to send your models so that we can troubleshoot. We do screen-sharing sessions so we can troubleshoot directly on your system. We also do support via email, which is helpful for non-native English speakers. We try to give our customers as many options as possible, and help you in the way that's best.
What do you do in your free time when you're not supporting Quantrix and IDBS users?
I just had a baby boy, and I've only been back from parental leave for a few months. We like to travel, and have been to Morocco and to Kenya on safari. But travel might have to go on hold for a few years – it's all about the baby!
Essla International is a Quantrix partner, and recently started using the business modeling solution to help its clients with budgeting and financial forecasting. At the 2014 Seminar by the Sea, Ernesto Seijas took some time to share his experiences using Quantrix.
The company had several criteria in mind when it was looking for a new software solution, including connectivity to databases, the ability to manage a lot of data, and multidimensional views and found Quantrix to be the best solution.
In addition to meeting everything on the company's wish list, Quantrix offered a more collaborative environment. "We can have 20, 30, 50 users inputting data – that's a major difference," says Seijas. Other benefits include the speed of calculation and reporting.
Seijas also likes Quantrix's graphical canvas, as it enables him to display what-if scenarios in a dynamic presentation. This capability enhances the impact of Essla's work, particularly when sharing with management or company boards.
"Quantrix has the best of many of the software [packages] in the market," says Seijas. "You have the multidimensional approach. You have the data gathering and databases. And you have the reporting and the [fast] calculations."

Charity Hegel is the Director of Finance at Litehouse, Inc., an Idaho-based firm that makes salad dressings, dips, and sauces. A team of folks from Litehouse participated in the 2014 Seminar by the Sea, and Hegel sat down with us to discuss the company's use of Quantrix.
Prior to using Quantrix, the team relied on Excel for financial modeling, what-if scenarios, and financial planning, but found it had outgrown it. Getting the information they needed was too cumbersome and required too many formulas. What was worse, the company didn't have confidence in the output. "The credibility…was just not what we needed it to be," says Hegel.
Litehouse recently made the switch to Quantrix, and is thrilled with the results. It has slashed the time required to accomplish certain tasks from weeks to minutes, opening up more time for data analysis and insight.
"We used to spend 90 percent of our time compiling data and 10 percent looking at data and analyzing the data," says Hegel. "I would say we now spend 20 percent of our time compiling the data, which leaves us 80 percent of our time to analyze, bring insight, do business reviews, and actually turn the headlights on for the organization."
The multidimensional capabilities of Quantrix have enabled Litehouse to better model the business and deliver insight to company leadership so they could make data based decisions.
"The perspective, the insight, the analysis that [Quantrix] will bring to your business – it really will revolutionize the way you look at your business and your industry," says Hegel.

Business Pro is a Mexico City-based consulting firm that helps large companies in Mexico and throughout the world to improve their business forecasting and budgeting. At the 2014 Seminar by the Sea, Business Pro's David Chibras talked with us about his use of Quantrix, and the benefits it has for improving business management.
One of the most valuable features of Quantrix, according to Chibras, is the integrity of the models produced and the insight they deliver. "[Quantrix] gives the capacity to spend more time analyzing the data, not just fixing spreadsheet issues," says Chibras.
He also notes Quantrix's ability to develop what-if scenarios – companies can adjust specific points and see the impact of changes at the business management level.
Quantrix's cloud-based options also are important to Chibras, who likes that modelers can build apps provide tailored access to ensure that users see just the information that impacts them. "Management can now have a really simple interface that can give them complex solutions," says Chibras. "They can see what's going on, they can make changes, and don't have to [be involved with] modeling processes."

At the 2014 Seminar by the Sea, Christie Kent of Lipkie Consulting delivered a presentation to the attendees on developing cash flow waterfalls using Quantrix. We sat down with her during the event to learn more about why she chose Quantrix, and how it has helped her business.
As she notes, she used to use Excel to develop models for clients, until a client asked for a project that could not be done in Excel. She researched numerous financial software packages to find one that would meet her needs, and only Quantrix was able to deliver.
"Quantrix provided a solution that was ideal for this type of cash flow waterfall," says Kent. "I didn't have to reproduce the logic over and over – I used the same logic for each level of the waterfall… all I had to do was add another level, and the logic continued."
In addition, she found that it was easy to add new investors to the model, and simply modify the assumptions. Quantrix has become her primary modeling solution, enabling her to support the complex structures of Lipkie Consulting's clients.
Kent has discovered that the ease of use of Quantrix is just one benefit: "The accuracy of information is so much better with Quantrix," she says.

The Quantrix team is energized after hosting our customers from around the world at our eighth annual Seminar by the Sea. This event, held in our headquarters city of Portland, Maine, gives us a chance to connect more closely with our customers, from Fortune 500 companies to small business owners. We shared information about our products, services, and company outlook, but more importantly, we got the chance to learn from our customers about how they are using Quantrix products in their environment. Plus, we managed to have some time to relax and network on an informal basis. Following are some of the highlights of this year's event:
- Quantrix beginners had their own track of sessions that introduced them to the product and the essentials of model building. They also learned how to structure logic, formulas, and function as well as understand the presentation tools of Quantrix. Other introductory sessions included basics that every Quantrix user should know, including the sample model library and the support portal, and how to build dynamic presentation canvasses.
- Advanced users participated in hands-on sessions to explore features such as DataLink, DataNAV, and DataPush and to learn new skills such as building scorecard models. The final day of the seminar included a full day scripting workshop, where customers brought their own scripts in to be reviewed by the Quantrix team.
- Other sessions were conducted for the full group, including those that spelled out the Quantrix road map, introduced some upcoming product features and brainstorms around future product features, and shared best practices in model performance and scalability.
As always, among the most popular sessions of the Seminar were the presentations from customers. This year's presenters included Charity Hegel, Kim Oleson, Derek Christensen, Matt Burrows, and Rich Lopez from Litehouse; Christie Kent from Lipkie Consulting; and George Pappas from MotionSoft. These people shared information about their models and how they use them within their companies, and answered questions from the audience. They were all great about continuing to answer questions during the networking times, as well – everyone wanted to learn more about these advanced implementations.
As in years past, we dedicated a block of time for one-on-one consulting sessions with members of our team. This year, the sessions were completely booked up almost immediately after we announced them – we were really excited that so many of our customers took advantage of this opportunity.
We had some great evening activities as well, including a sail on an historic schooner in Casco Bay. We're not sure which was more popular – the gorgeous view of Casco Bay and its islands and the dramatic sunset sky, or the lobster dinner. People "from away" were excited to see the buffet piled high, and to grab a second (or third!) lobster.
The event was a success for Quantrix, but the true measure is when it's a success for our customers. As one attendee said on the evaluation form, "I think Quantrix is the best kept secret in business modeling. At the networking session I was pleased with people speaking with as much passion about the product as I have."
We thank everyone for attending. If you didn't get a chance to come to this year's event, we hope you can join us for next year's event. Just watch this space, or send email to email@example.com to be included on the list for when we announce the dates.
Happy modeling!
New Quantrix users often schedule a training session to get up to speed quickly. While Quantrix offers training and consulting with in-house staff, we also have a network of Quantrix partners that can effectively deliver training and consulting services. One of the most experienced partners is Valerie Grenier. Formerly of Quantrix, and now Senior Consultant at Tesser Consulting Group, Valerie offers insights into how new users can get the most out of their Quantrix modeling solution.
Q: What are the most common things that Quantrix users need help with when first getting started?
Valerie Grenier: The first piece is obviously getting a grasp of the multidimensional way we think in Quantrix. We are really concerned with structure of the model – items, categories, or groups – and how we use that structure to perform actions collectively on an item, category, or group. Understanding the relationships between dimensions in the model is essential to creating powerful and efficient models, and to make them work in the best way possible.
Q: What mistakes do people make?
VG: Spreadsheet users are used to thinking in terms of individual cells, so they are constantly trying to do things by clicking in a cell rather than taking the structure into consideration. In Quantrix, everything is a cube, and you want to work on a range of cells – not just one cell.
Once users are comfortable with that, they find adding formulas and formatting to be much easier. Users can write one formula in Quantrix that will calculate a large range of cells, and don't need to edit it as the model is expanded over time. An understanding of the structure of a model can directly affect how simple or complicated the formulas need to be.
Another mistake that people make is that they create their model based on how they want it to look – that's because it's so hard to change things in spreadsheets. But in Quantrix, the first priority should be to structure the formulas so that they are calculating efficiently. For example, people like to create financial reports where a quarterly total is included after every three months. But creating your model that way disrupts the cube – you want to calculate the months one way, the quarter another way, and the annual total a third way. There are a lot of tools to get a model in Quantrix to look the way you want, so people need to focus on efficient calculations.
Q: How can new users get up to speed quickly?
VG: One thing I always tell people is to create a model for something in your everyday life that interests you, such as sports statistics, or tracking a wedding budget. That way, they will get their feet into Quantrix every day. If a model interests them, they are more likely to spend time tweaking it, and they will improve their skills by working on it regularly.
Q: How about formal training?
VG: Formal training can definitely get users there quicker – whether it's attending a session in-person or online, structured training helps people get further and faster than trying to self teach. I have conducted training for a lot of companies where the first user was self-taught, and he or she schedules formal training for their team before the model is deployed. It never fails — early on in those sessions, the self-taught user says, "I didn't know that". An initial investment in training will pay off quickly by helping you get your model built better and quicker.
Q: What features are most important for new users to learn?
VG: New users should master DataLink, Presentation Canvas, and Perspectives. Data Integration and Presentation can take a model from good to fantastic.
Data Link provides a quick, user-friendly way to get data into a model, either from an external data source or another model, without having to manually enter it. If it's implemented correctly, it's an easy way to update models and manage data revisions.
The Presentation Canvas allows the modeler to share the output of the model by assembling elements such as data tables, charts, images, and logos. You can use it to make a professional looking report or an interactive dashboard. And Quantrix is developing great technologies to deploy these dashboards to the web via the Quantrix Qloud.
Perspectives is often an overlooked gem in Quantrix. It's a way to preserve the layout on the screen, and create a systematic workflow. Each matrix and chart in Quantrix is on its own tab, and Perspectives lets you save the arrangement. Let's say you need a person to work with data in a specific order – you can create a Perspective that they can tab right through. It really enhances the end-user experience of any model.
Q: You've traveled all over the world training Quantrix users. Where's your favorite place?
VG: I like going to new places! Warm weather is preferred.
Tesser Consulting Group offers two- and three-day on-site training packages as well as a rotating catalog of one- and two-hour online training sessions. Many sessions are also available "On Demand".

Hyundai Azera vs Toyota Avalon vs Ford Taurus vs Chevrolet Impala
This is my attempt to set up a comparo between four full size sedans. So let the discussion begin. Does anybody think the new Azera can be a competitior to the Avalon. I think they match up quite evenly in terms of performance but the Hyundai has a lower price and a better warranty. The 500 is a decent car but the engine just doesn't cut it in a 3800lb car.
fin atlantaPosts: 589Underpowered to be sure... needs about 75 more horses and some torque to keep up with the competition. Cheap wire antennae for the radio is rediculous. No place for your left foot when driving either... real tight for some reason. Nice trunk size.
It is a good looking car, IMHO. But a little short in some critical areas compared to the Avalon. -
alan_s Posts: 358I really liked the 500 in every respect until I drove it. Where is the engine, and what is that unholy racket coming from under the hood?
Ford announced that the 500 wasn't selling because the public doesn't like the grill, so they are changing it!
How can they miss the point? How could they do all the market research, spend billions on R&D and the manufacturing of an all-new, extremely nice car but forget about the engine? Didn't they drive the competitors? This amazes me. They could have at least installed the Lincoln, Mazda or Jaguar version of the Duratech or better still, offered a V8 as an option.
This is why they are losing money. -
motownusa Posts: 836The 500 needs at least 250 Hp to be even remotely competitive. Ford really dropped the ball on this one IMO. It is frustrating that the domestics refused to learn their lessons even after one setback after another. While the Impala SS is a nice sedan with class leading power, I don't understand GM's love affair with pushrod engine and 4 speed automatic. This is 2005 not 1955 for heaven's sake.
1racefan Posts: 932Impala SS is that they didn't follow Chrysler's lead on the 300, and go to RWD. A RWD, 303hp Impala SS would be awesome. In addition, the Crown Vic should have been killed, and a V8 and RWD given to the Ford 500.
And not to veer off topic, but their is an article in Autoweek where a tester comments that the V6 Charger is actually a fun car to drive because of the RWD factor. He points out that the V6 would just be so so in FWD, but is actually a pretty fun car with the RWD set up. Point being, that the V6 Impala, with a different tranny might even be a decent performer were it RWD. -
killerpiece Posts: 56Please.....
I drove a V6 charger and it was a dog (ruff ruff) no fun to drive at all! :lemon:
That combined with a REALLY cheap interior, I wouldn't spend my money on one.... NO WAY!
And for Autoweek's review, they love almost everything!
As for the HEMI... Now that was fun! :P The interior was still bad though.
sorry to be off-topic....
killerpiece -
alan_s Posts: 358Having had the '05 Avalon for 4 months now, I can say that the quality is down vs the previous models and both the Toyota dealers and Toyota Corporate have a bad attitude when you have a problem.
Now that legendary Toyota quality and customer care has been banished to the history books and the Avalon has moved away from it's roots as a smooth, quiet, soft-riding luxomobile in favor of a more sporting pseudo-euromobile, this leaves the DOOR WIDE OPEN FOR THE AZERA.
I certainly will take a long and hard look at the Azera when my Avalon lease is up, and if the Azera has a quality track record, I'll be a convert. -
deminin Posts: 214When we shopped for a new car a couple of months ago, price was not the primary concern...we wanted to get maximum value for our car dollars. We looked at the Toyota Avalon, the Ford 500, the Buick Lacrosse CSX, the Chrysler 300, Nissan Maxima and the Lincoln LS. We did not check into Hyundia, because the nearest dealer is over 110 miles away. While shopping at the GM dealer (Buick Lacrosse), we spotted a nice light blue car across the lot. It was a 2006 Impala LTZ. After being underwhelmed by the Buick, we took a closer look at the Impala and took a test drive. After 15 minutes in the car, the only question was how big a check would we have to write. This LTZ compares real favorably to cars costing thousands more, and is a dream to drive. Gobs of power, great suspension, quite good fuel mileage, and excellent fit and finish. While all the cars we looked at had good points, and some bad, this package, in my opinion offers more car for the dollar than anything else we tested. After a couple of months, I am still convinced that we spent our money wisely. We also drove a new SS after the LTZ, but came right back to the LTZ because it has a far nicer interior, and hardly any of the torque steer that can make the SS almost dangerous for a pair of old farts like us.
I agree with the posts about the 500 power, and the Avalon was not at all impressive...rather ugly, in my opinion. The closest comparison to the Impala LTZ seemed to be the Nissan Maxima, but I don't think the Maxima is worth $5,000 more. We liked the Lincoln LS, but again..there is not $15,000 more value in the LS. The only Chrysler that got our interest was the 300C(hemi), but outside of the sweet engine, there is not much we liked....horrible driving position for shorter people. The only problem I have with the LTZ, so far, is keeping the speed down. It is so smooth and quiet, and the engine revs so smoothly, that I have found myself cruising at 80MPH on a couple of occasions. Guess I'm going to have to start using the cruise control. Oh, BTW, the Bose radio in the car is one of the best car radios I've ever heard. Sorry to sound like a Chevy commercial, but this thing is impressive. -

deminin Posts: 214There was no employee discount on the 2006's...only a $1000 rebate. We got a good price for our trade-in, and since we were paying cash, I just wrote out a check for the amount I thought the deal should be for. At first the dealer balked, but when we got ready to leave, and said we would think about it, they changed their tune. I guess they figured that a bird in hand....etc. At any rate, I think we got a fair price, and I'm sure they made some money...they can stick it to the next one who buys a gas guzzler SUV.
BTW, we drove it about 600 miles this week to visit the kids in the city for Thanksgiving. It did great, and averaged 26.3 MPG going up...60 to 65 MPH. Coming back, we took the Interstate, and I ran it between 80 and 85 most of the way, and the mileage dropped to 24.2. We had fairly stiff side winds but the car handled quite good. The only time I felt any "wobble" was when passing a big truck at speed...there would be a slight sideways shift as I would clear the truck, and get back into "clean" air, but it was quite manageable. -
barnstormer64 Posts: 1,106"P.S. my '05 Sonata will blow the doors off a Viper too!"
Depends on who's driving the Viper. Odds are, you'd probably win if you were trying to.
98% of people who buy "sports cars" don't really utilize the power very often, and can be routinely beaten by those with lesser vehicles.
If everybody out there had 3.5L 250hp engines and were using them to their full ability most of the time, then perhaps I'd feel underpowered. But as it stands, I can pretty much get around anybody on the road without making the engine sound like it's going to explode.
Now a Taurus with the non-Duratech 3.0L V6 (150 hp, I think?) . . . now THAT starts to feel underpowered. And then there's my wife's old '79 Mustang with the 4-banger in it. That was downright SCARY to merge into freeway traffic with. -
barnstormer64 Posts: 1,106
andy82471 Posts: 120While the Impala is a nice car, I wonder why GM is in love with ancient pushrod technology. This is 2005 not 1955. I think GM is selling themselves short by offering this somewhat antiquated powertrain. I know pushrod is cheaper to develop than DOHC but in 2005 OHV engine just doesn't cut it.
bruneau1 Posts: 468The 500 is much more comfortable than the Impala both front and rear, but could use more ponies if you are a very aggressive driver. The AWD option is a winner in the 500-Montego for the snow belt. And there is nothing wrong with pushrod engines. They cost less, weigh less, take less room, and in the most recent versions provide competitive mileage and performance. They aren't as sewing machine smooth as the Honda engines. Too many people have fixed ideas.
csandste Posts: 1,866I moved from an Elantra to a 3.5 liter Malibu Maxx. Although slightly rougher, the 'Bu has:
1. almost as good mpg
2. far lower maintenance, no timing belt to screw with.
3. lighter weight than a corresponding ohc engine-- smaller physical size too.
4. A loafing engine that can get 6000-8000 miles on an oil change (it's not cranking that fast). -
motownusa Posts: 836Most modern DOHC engine these days have 5 or 6 speed automatics and not 4 like most of GM's current pushrod powered V6s and V8s. The Avalon turns about 1800 to 1900 rpm at 60 mph. I don't know about the Impala but I doubt it would be less than that. With VVti, most modern OHC engine also has good low end power too which most OHV supporters use as a bragging rights. Plus the 268 HP Avalon is rated at 31 mpg on the highway whereas the Impala LTZ with nearly 30 less HP is only rated at 27 mpg.
alpha01 Posts: 4,747The 3.9L engine does have VVT, so its not really that far behind in technology. It produces 240+ horses, has plenty of low-end torque, is light, and cheap to build and maintain. Overall, I think its a good engine for the Impala.
Would I prefer the Avalon's 3.5? SURE! But in effort to keep costs down and reinvest a bit in interiors (and the Impala's is MUCH improved over the former version), its a fine engine.
~alpha -
captain2 Posts: 3,971American mfgrs. have always continued to do what they do best. Pushrod engines do tend provide proportionately more torque sacrificing a few ponies and some efficiency. Good example of this is the GM 3.8 V6 that rated up to about 210hp but 230 lbs torque - tied to some low cruise gearing this engine could get 30 mpg highway in some large cars. Call it antiquated if you will, but successful and reasonably durable. GM and Ford are starting to 'get with the program' as far as these continuously variable dual cam overhead valve trains, multiple injector engines such as the 2GR engine in the Avalon and the IS350 - guess we will see how it fairs long term - that 3.8 I'm talking about is, in many respects, a tough act to follow.
scramblinman Posts: 33Sounds a lot to me like few of you (if any) have actually DRIVEN the Five Hundred. Especially with the CVT.
Doesn't feel underpowered to me.
Well, we DID take a Ford 500 with CVT for an extensive test drive where I put it through the wringer and I can unequivocally say that powerwise, it does indeed leave a LOT to be desired. Even my wife, a very mellow driver, commented on it's lack of power and responsiveness compared to her old car, a '00 Impala LS 3.8 V6 with 95,000 miles on the odometer. While we liked the overall size and appearance of the 500, it was notably underpowered compared to the Avalon Limiteds we were initially interested in. I can also say with absolute surety that the car we ultimately opted for, an '05 Maxima SE, would blow the 500 right off the road in all but the worst driving conditions in which case the 500's AWD would come in handy.
And just like I could in my 1996 Taurus wagon, I can STILL out-accelerate 98% of the Corvette drivers on the road
Not if the Corvette drivers are even trying. -

What's her 0-60 time in that thing?
What's your 0-60 time in the Five Hundred?
Be sure to actually TIME it, and give it the gas.
"Not if the Corvette drivers are even trying."
And that was exactly my point.
Am I going to win drag races in a Ford Five Hundred? Nope
Do I have enough power to (safely) get around those who are in my way with one? Yup.
Can I beat 99.9% of the drivers of a Toyota Avalon when I want to with it? Yup. -
alpha01 Posts: 4,747"Can I beat 99.9% of the drivers of a Toyota Avalon when I want to with it? Yup."
What the hell is the point of a statement like that? Uhm, yea, a Chevy Aveo at full throttle will no doubt beat a 268 horse Avalon as well if the Avalon driver is using 1/4 pressure on the gas.... its not a testament to power or acceleration at all.
Bottom Line: Even the most expensive Ford Five Hundred is among the slowest in the class. It'll outrun a Kia Amanti and nothing else, save MAYBE for the 3.5L 211 horse base Impala LS, 1LT, 2LT.... but I doubt even that b/c GM's 4 speed is very responsive despite lacking in ratios and the 3.5L has a torque curve that the Duratec can't match from its displacement.

alan_s Posts: 358He meant he can beat 99% of the PARKED drivers of a Toyota Avalon...
The old Avalon's performance left the 500 for dead.
The new Avalon will roast the 500's headlamps in it's afterburners, and then shake the rest of it into shrapnel in the thundering wake of turbulence...
Sorry barnstomer64, I've driven the 500 and you lose on this one. If you drive a new Avalon you'll know what we are talking about! -
barnstormer64 Posts: 1,106"What the hell is the point of a statement like that? .... its not a testament to power or acceleration at all."
That's my point, exactly. And you made it for me.
If you have enough power to beat 99% of the drivers on the road . . . you don't really need any more (other than for bragging rights or "racing" in situations that are most-likely unsafe for all involved.)
Now, when you own a car that has to be FLOORED to keep up with the average drivers on the road . . . then you're definitely well into the "underpowered" category.
I guess it all gets down to your definition of "underpowered":
1) Underpowered in terms of drag racing?
2) Underpowered in terms of beating ALMOST EVERY determined driver out there in a true sports car?
3) Underpowered in terms of enough acceleration to get around the vast majority of drivers on the freeway, merging safely, etc?
If you've got to beat every male teen and early 20's driver out there with a sports car, then the Five Hundred might feel underpowered to you. Otherwise, it's nowhere NEAR "underpowered".
A lot of people FEEL that it's underpowered, because of how the CVT works compared to a normal automatic. -
barnstormer64 Posts: 1,106"The new Avalon will roast the 500's headlamps in it's afterburners, and then shake the rest of it into shrapnel in the thundering wake of turbulence..."
With less than 1% of the Avalon drivers at the wheel, sure.
Otherwise, it's down to which driver really wants to get around the other vehicle.
I'd venture to say that the vast majority of Avalon and Five Hundred drivers have lost enough testosterone that they feel the need to get into a race at every opportunity. Most are satisifed to simply be able to get around the idiots drivers on the roads. And either vehicle gives them the power to do just that.

Now the doctors tell one of my two remaining brothers that he might have you in his pancreas, and that is why I called you today.
It's time for us to breakup. I know you've been a part of this family for a long time. I'm not sure what happened to cause such a hateful and vengeful animosity towards us, but srsly cancer? Build a bridge, and get over it.
I mean, was it necessary to jump the line into my Mom who has never had a history of any cancer and suddently when she's around the Goodlett's she gets it twice in each breast? Or to jump to my Sister in Law's family where you killed her older brother? That's just rude is what it is and it's time for this to stop and move on.
They say if you love something to let it go, but I don't love you. In fact I hate you, and honestly, can you blame me? You're kind of a jerk. I don't want you to go find someone else to be happy with, I want you to go away and die. I don't think that's too much to demand. Leave me and my family alone, go find a cave in the center of the Earth, curl up and die.

Tasty, fresh i.e. vegetables, a good variety of Cypriot dishes. Suitable for small / larger groups and caters for summer and winter outings. Have gone a few times for meze and all times were just fine. However this time the meze was just impeccable!
Over the years I've been going to Forsos Tavern under different circumstances: with family, with school mates for reunions, or with guests from abroad, and the feeling is always the same: you chose right once again! Ι was there in the summertime (better visit this place in summer so you sit in the "garden area") and I went again last... More
Pleasant courtyard. Good range of meze dishes cooked well and flavoursome. Will return next time we are in limassol. cash only. Ordered 3 between 4 of us which was plenty.
Firstly a warning...... they don't take credit cards, once you have planned for this everything is great. We went mid-week and by 9PM it was filled with locals and the odd lucky tourist, given that Cyprus is still struggling after the banking crash this says something for the reputation and popularity of this restaurant. The restaurant is in a small... More
I have been visiting Cyprus for 30 years and I have been saddened by the decline in the traditional Cypriot cuisine in favour of rather poor quality "international" food. Forsos is a reminder of how good things used to be when the meat mezze was the king of local dining. It is a large mainly al fresco restaurant with extremely... More
As a frequent visitor to Cyprus I thought that traditional tavernas had disappeared with modernity But was delighted to visit Forsos which was highly recommended and did not disappoint No Menu.........just get ready for the tasty meze feast
This tavern is definitely the best in Limassol! We'be been to other taverns,but nothing can be compared to Forsos! It is very pretty,with traditional design,recently renovated,but the most important is food! Food is delicious and of the best quality!
One of the best taverns in Limassol.Great outdoor seating in a well decorated backyard. Have 'mezedes' and save some room for their excellent honeyballs at the end!
If you want authenticity then you must visit Forsos Taverna for the most delicious and reasonably priced meze. Wonderful atmosphere.
Really loved this authentic Cypriot tavern - excellent service, great food, fantastic outdoor ambiance and good value. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the real deal

"Get Out Migration" builds momentum for major salmon aquaculture reform WASHINGTON, May 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- When members of the Pure Salmon Campaign travel to Oslo, Norway later this month for the annual general meetings of Cermaq and Marine Harvest, the coalition will ask the world's two largest producers of farmed salmon to end environmental degradation and adopt systems that keep the farmed fish separate from wild salmon.
Current management refuses to acknowledge, address key problems with its salmon farms CAMPBELL RIVER, British Columbia, April 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pure Salmon Campaign today called for the resignation of Geir Isaksen, CEO of Cermaq, one of the world's two largest producers of farmed salmon.

Latest Aquaculture of salmon Reference Libraries
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, from the Latin words "Salmo" meaning salmon, and "salar" meaning "leaper") is a species of fish in the Salmonidae found in the northern Atlantic Ocean and in rivers that flow into the Atlantic. It breeds in the rivers of Western Europe from northern Portugal north to arctic Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and the east coast of North America from Connecticut in the United States north to northern Labrador in arctic Canada. At sea, it is found mainly in the waters...
Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the Salmonidae family "" although several other fishes in the family are called trout. Salmon live in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they were born to spawn and modern research shows that usually at least 90% of the fish spawning in a stream were born...

German Chancellor Angela Merkel suffered a major political blow less than eight months before elections when her education minister, a close ally, stepped down on Saturday over plagiarism allegations.
Merkel said she had accepted the resignation of Annette Schavan "with a heavy heart" after her former university stripped her of her doctorate, saying she had plagiarised parts of her thesis "Person and Conscience" 33 years ago.
Schavan vowed to fight the allegations but said she did not want the scandal to damage the office, the party or the federal government.
"I think today is the right day to leave my ministerial post and to concentrate on my duties as a member of parliament," said an emotional Schavan.
Merkel said she had suggested to the country's president that Johanna Wanka, a minister in the state of Lower Saxony, should succeed her.
Schavan, 57, became the second close ally of Merkel to step down over plagiarism after Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, a popular defence minister sometimes tipped as a future chancellor, resigned in 2011.
The extent of Schavan's alleged plagiarism is thought to be less than that of zu Guttenberg's, whose actions earned the aristocrat the nicknames "Baron Cut-And-Paste" and "zu Googleberg".
Nevertheless, Schavan's mistakes were seen as indefensible given her position as education and research minister in a country where academic titles are taken extremely seriously.
There was also an element of schadenfreude given her reaction to zu Guttenberg's downfall, when she said she was "ashamed" of her former cabinet colleague.
"As someone who was herself awarded a doctorate 31 years ago and who has supervised several doctoral candidates, I am ashamed and not just behind closed doors," she told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung at the time.
Merkel paid tribute to Schavan, seen as a close personal friend as well as a strong political ally, saying: "Her performance in this very important post has been extraordinary. Education and research in Germany... owe a lot to her."
"She has put her own personal interests behind the interests of the greater good," said Merkel, visibly shaken.
Mass circulation daily Bild noted: "The departure was difficult for both of them ... the chancellor has seldom seemed so moved as in these few minutes. Her eyes seemed to be welling up."
Schavan thanked her "dear Angela" and said their friendship would extend beyond this professional break.
"I will not accept this decision (from the university) and will fight against it. I neither copied my dissertation nor cheated. The accusations... affect me deeply," said Schavan.
However, she acknowledged that there were consequences to be drawn when an education and research minister takes up a legal battle with her former university and said she was resigning as "the office should not be damaged."
"My decision stems from the same responsibility with which I have tried to carry out my office," she added.
"First my country, then my party and then me personally."
The resignation came as an unwelcome distraction for Merkel as she gears up to run for a third term at the helm of Europe's top economy in elections on September 22.
Although the chancellor enjoys a huge popularity lead over her gaffe-prone Social Democrat rival, Peer Steinbrueck, the gap between the two main parties appears to be narrowing, according to some polls.
A survey for ARD public television channel on Friday showed Merkel's conservative Christian Democrat/Christian Social Union bloc losing a point and Steinbrueck's SPD gaining two points to close the gap to 10 points.
Writing before the resignation, the influential weekly Die Zeit noted that Merkel could always re-employ her friend after the election if she won her legal scrap with the university.
"After the conclusion of the process in the autumn she could then even re-install her in office -- provided that Schavan wins her legal battle and Merkel the election," wrote the paper.

School Tries To Sanction Unmasked Student Blogger
by Wendy Davis on Oct 29, 6:30 PM
Digital rights advocates often implore judges to cast a skeptical eye on requests to unmask anonymous bloggers for purposes of filing a libel lawsuit. The danger, they warn, is that the person making the request has no intention of actually suing for libel, but will retaliate in some other way once they learn the blogger's identity.

Does FCC Have Power To Issue Neutrality Regs?
by Wendy Davis on Oct 23, 5:15 PM
The lobbying in advance of the Federal Communication Commission's vote to move forward with neutrality rules was so frenzied -- and, in some cases, so incompetent -- that it drew a rebuke yesterday from commission member Mignon Clyburn. "Unfortunately, some parties seem to prefer radioactive rhetoric and unseemly and unbecoming tactics," she chided. "Such an approach may yield headlines, but will not yield positive results with me."

Tooth Whiteners, Not Review Copies, Darken Blogosphere
by Wendy Davis on Oct 22, 6:15 PM
The Federal Trade Commission is riling industry watchers by suggesting that bloggers -- but not writers for mainstream media outlets -- should disclose every freebie they receive, even review copies that companies routinely give to journalists. But even as the FTC is busy giving bloggers ethical advice, some companies are allegedly deploying online marketing strategies that are far more problematic than passing out free review copies.
