I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,385An absolutely "mint" Chevy Beretta parked on 42nd st. in New York City. What was the last year they made those anyway? This car looked showroom new. Didn't they stop making them in the mid 90s or so? Must be somebody's baby, with a very $$$ little garage.

fintail Posts: 34,701The styling wasn't bad either, really. The Cavalier itself wasn't a bad looking car, fairly crisp, wagon looked decent. When I was a little kid, maybe first or second grade,a friend's mother had a "Type 10" fastback model that I thought was cool - I guess the styling was racy to my young eyes, and it had a sunroof - still an uncommon thing then.
I knew a guy in high school who had a Cimarron, a later flush lights model. -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,385a car company can never sit back and rest on its laurels---in this business, you do that and someone will eat you for breakfast.
Think of the irony of the 1970 Cadillac owner looking in either mockery, or if he was more dignified, in pity, at the little Honda 600 coupe rattling at idle next to him---the Honda being about the size of a lifeboat attached to the luxurious ocean-liner of a Cadillac he was driving.
Fast forward a mere 12 years and the driver of the 1982 Cadillac Cimarron looks to his right at a quietly idling, roomy and comfortable 1982 Honda Accord--all things considered, every bit as good as the "cadillac".
Once again, what economists call the "Black Swan" hit Cadillac on its blind side--an unexpected turn of events to which some automakers simply could not respond adequately.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
andre1969 Posts: 22,2831996 was the last year for the Beretta, as well as the Corsica. The 1997 Malibu replaced the Corsica, but I guess coupe sales had fallen off enough by that time, they didn't think the Beretta warranted replacing.
I liked the Beretta and Corsica when they first came out. Styling looked good, I thought. But the interiors were horrible. And when the Cavalier was redesigned and improved for 1995, I think it put some pressure on them. -
uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 7,772The Type 10 Cavaliers were rarely seen in my parts--and I lived 40 miles from where they were built!
The '82 Cavalier came out to much interest, somewhere in the middle of calendar '81. I can remember driving with a buddy over to the Lordstown plant on a Sunday and through a fence I saw one sitting there, before they were out. I was stunned at how the rear end was almost an exact ripoff of a Triumph TR-7.
When they came out, I was stunned at the price. A fully-loaded one could hit $9K--when the sticker of my new '81 Monte Carlo V8 (admittedly, not loaded) was $8,192. Furthermore, the 1.8 liter was reallllly slow, and the quality they talked about was hard to prove to me as I saw a new one on a dealer lot with the glued-on side molding on one door lying on the pavement near the car.
It was a lousy launch--as was the Celebrity that came out very shortly after. It, too, was expensive for what you got.
In '83, Chevy made the Cavalier engine a 2.0 liter that by all accounts was a noticeable improvement, and reduced the price of both the Cavalier and Celebrity. At that point, they became best-sellers, so it is possible to recover from a lousy launch. -
fintail Posts: 34,701I've seen old ads that show the same - a nice early Celebrity was virtually the same price as a Caprice. One was a lot more car than the other.
Speaking of Beretta from another post, a friend of my mother bought a final run car, a 1996, teal (of course, mid 90s GM and all). It wasn't trouble-free. -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,385It's interesting, isn't it, how most 80s cars are disappearing from view at a rapid clip? Even the junkyards don't want them, because they take up room without making much $$$ in parts sales.
Even stranger is how my eyes would just glaze over vintage Mustangs or Porsches in NYC but would, no doubt, immediately lock onto a Cadillac Cimarron, as if to say "wow, you mean there's one left?!!" :PMODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
uplanderguy Kent, OHPosts: 7,772I did like the Cavalier wagons. When I bought my wife a new '90 Corsica, I asked if she wanted a 5-speed wagon instead (about the same price). At age 25 she didn't want a wagon.
I held people who bought Cimarrons in about the same regard back then, as I did those who bought Renault Alliances and Encores....that they must not even remotely be 'car people'!
BTW, on 9/3/88 (my wife-to-be's birthday), I bought myself a new bright red '89 Beretta GT, light neutral cloth interior. Big tires and nice-looking (IMHO) lacy wheels, and the 2.8 MFI V6. No spoiler--nice, clean looks I thought. I drove it for 74,900 miles and we traded in on a new '93 Caprice Classic. It was trouble-free but really too small for me as an only car at the time (not counting my '63 Lark I bought in May of '88). -
andre1969 Posts: 22,283It was a lousy launch--as was the Celebrity that came out very shortly after. It, too, was expensive for what you got.
A few years back, a friend gave me a bunch of old car magazines. Mainly Road & Track, I think, but there were some C&Ds and MTs in there as well. I remember one of them doing a test of a 1982 Caprice, and this was in early 1982...when the gas crisis and recession were still in full swing.
Yet, they mentioned that Caprices were still selling for about sticker price, while the Celebrity, a new wave family car of the future, seeming like the right car for these fuel-hungry times, was piling up on the lot, with big incentives required to move them. -

au1994 Posts: 841I agree with you on the Type 10 fastback, that was slick looking for the day. Mom and Dad looked at one along with the Omni fastback. We ended up with the Omni. Served us well for a few years.

au1994 Posts: 841I had an 89 Beretta that I got in 90 with about 9k miles on it. I ran it up to about 70k in 5 years (college car so it sat parked a lot of the time) until I traded it on a Tacoma. I think they gave me 3k for it.
Bright red w/gray interior. Good looking car, interior was ok for me but I was coming from a 66 Mustang. Just so-so on reliability...didn't have pwr windows and the drivers side would pop its track every so often, alternator went out in a remote section of highway on the way back to school. This was pre cell phone days (or at least it was for poor college students) so that was interesting, ECU went out and the paint on the roof was orange peeling shortly after I got it.
But was an absolute dog performance wise. It had the 2.0 4 cyl and 3 spd auto. Passing on 2 lane highways should have won me a medal for bravery.2013 335i Sport Line Alpine White over Coral Red w/Black Trim

Also on the list, RWD Lesabres, Electra-Park Ave, Fleetwood Brougham, Mark VII LSC (HO motor), 84-87 Shelby Chargers, and of course the only collectible American car from the 80s....

andre1969 Posts: 22,283Same here...pretty much anything mid or full-sized, RWD, and V-8 from the 80's would keep me satisfied.
Actually, let me narrow that down a bit...nothing with a Diesel 350, and also nothing with an under-sized (<300 CID) V-8. And if it happens to be a Pontiac 301, only if it's in excellent shape and lovingly maintained! :P -
boomchek Vancouver, BC, CanadaPosts: 5,211Thanks hpmctorque, I will.
Oh yeah I didn't ask - going back to the home country?
No we're going to Israel for 3.5 weeks to see my wife's grandparents. They're getting older and haven't seen their grandson yet (our son) and we wanted to see how they're doing after my wife's father (their son) passed away a few months ago. We keep in touch with them and my wife has other family there but it will be nice to see them in person.
I'll probably rent a car there as well. When we were there 5 years ago we had a Daihatsu Sirion, which was a fun drive. We will see what we might end up with this time.
I wanted to make a slight detour on the way back, renting a car in Amsterdam and driving to Poland for a few weeks to see my family since we will have the time, but being away for a month and a half might be a bit too much for our 3 year old son and it'll cost us a bit to change the return tickets.2007 BMW 328i Sports Pkg
ab348 Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, CanadaPosts: 2,567I remember reading the introductory reviews of the J-cars in the car magazines and they all commented on how slow and underpowered they were. GM people tried to brush it off by saying it was the price of fuel economy. They also commented on some of the cost cutting, I recall, like the lack of a finish molding at the ends of the headliner.
I remember driving them when they were new and liking the interiors of the optioned-up versions (GM always did good interiors back then) but it was bog-slow. I had a rental Omni for a week in '84 and by comparison that thing was a hot rod. By then, Chrysler was using the K-car engine in the Omni and it moved it quite well. The remainder of the car was quite cheap-feeling though.2014 Cadillac ATS4 2.0T, 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S Holiday Coupe

Blue 2 '
About Me:
Hello! I'm Blue2, the official mascot of Butler University. Just thinking back off the top of my furry head, some of the obvious things that come to mind are my appearances at Butler sporting events. Whether it's leading the football team onto the field, greeting the starters on the basketball court, doing my "tricks" during a timeout at center court, or serving as the halftime entertainment at a soccer match where I displayed my own soccer techniques, those are all great instances where I steal the show. Of course, there's more than athletic events, there's also the performing arts. I've been a part of the limelight at several events such as YMCA Geneva Stunts, YMCA Spring Sing and JCFA's REJOICE! where the students sang "Blue Christmas" and I came out on stage riding a sleigh with Santa Claus. I also make appearances at university/campus events for University Advancement, Admissions, Student Affairs, and much more. Basically, I do it all. If you are on campus, be sure to stop by my office and bring me some treats!

JMSN Explores Desert, Dualities in Sax-Assisted 'Love & Pain' Video
Kendrick Lamar and Deniro Ferrar songbird steps out on 'Priscilla' LP
Detroit-via-Los Angeles singer-producer JMSN (like the whiskey) has some odd yet impressive bona fides in his back pocket. Of late, he's been operating in the TDE family, having contributed to four of the songs on Kendrick Lamar's Essential album good kid, m.A.A.d. city, and banked a forthcoming EP with Black Hippy member Ab-Soul. But before all of that, the young man born Christian Berishaj was signed to Universal Motown and even did a tour with the Backstreet Boys. Having been liberated of his label when that imprint folded, JMSN retreated into a bottle (like, the whiskey) and recorded his dark R&B epic Priscilla.
That self-released album is getting a reissue in October, and in honor of the occasion, we've got the Stephen Mallet-directed video for "Love & Pain." The aching track opens with a warm blast of saxophone and transitions into a heavily textured mix of woozy R&B and exotic instrumentation. Comparisons to the Weeknd (et al.) are unavoidable, but Berishaj's incredibly clean vocals don't sulk so much as soar, even when confronting the sort of dualities spelled out in the song's title. The clip features oversaturated shots of a desert landscape where strict tradition butts up against rugged freedom.
Bonus: Take a spin through this "Love & Pain" remix by Aussie producer Ta-ku.

With wet conditions making it a challenge to put up hay at desired moisture levels in many parts of the country, hay growers will want to be especially alert for signs of bale heating, says Marc Sulc, forage specialist with Ohio State University Extension.
"Every year someone's barn burns down because of spontaneous combustion of wet hay," says Sulc. "So if you have hay that is on the wet side, keep it outside or in a well-ventilated area. Don't stack wet hay, either, because that prevents the heat and moisture left in the hay from escaping."
If you do happen to bale at higher moisture contents than desired, he advises keeping a close watch on the hay for two to three weeks. "You should invest in a hay temperature probe and monitor the internal temperature of the hay during the first three weeks."
Sulc notes that it's normal for hay to go through a "sweat" in the first few days after baling. Internal temperatures of 110 degrees F in the first five days after baling are quite common in the eastern Corn Belt and are not a concern. Hay-bale temperatures of 120-130 degrees will likely result in mold growth and will make the protein in the hay less available to animals. But at those temperatures, there still is not a danger of fire.
The concern is if mold growth causes the temperature to go even higher, he says. "If the temperature in the hay continues to rise, reaching 160-170 degrees, then there is cause for alarm. At those elevated temperatures, other chemical reactions begin to occur that elevate the temperature much higher, resulting in spontaneous combustion of the hay in a relatively short period of time."

Planning for St. Pat's
photo from persistentillusion.com |
But you may prefer your drinking contests closer to home -- near enough that you can crawl to bed on all fours, in fact. So if Oakland Park is your neighborhood, call on your fleet of Leprechauns to hie you over to the Jameson Bar at Hugh's Culinary, where Hugh is laying out a spread of corned beef and cabbage, shepherd's pie, and soda bread to help you soak up the liquid. Music, bagpipes, and dancing has been promised, and the cost is a mere $10 per person, quite a deal if you stay from opening at 12 p.m. until "whenever." Hugh's is located at 4351 NE 12th Terrace, Oakland Park. Call 954-583-4844 to RSVP.
Other venues for Irish fun, this weekend through next week:

5 Reasons We Love "Saving Mr. Banks"
Road to the OscarsThere are many reasons to love the John Lee Hancock-directed film about the making of "Mary Poppins." Here are five of them.
1. Tom Hanks: For his moving performance as Walt Disney, the filmmaker and producer of the 1964 Walt Disney Studios classic "Mary Poppins." Disney persuaded a skeptical author, P. L. Travers (played by Emma Thompson), to sell the screen rights to her novels.
2. Emma Thompson: For her equally amazing portrayal of "Mary Poppins" author P. L. Travers, who is forced to think back to her difficult childhood in Queensland, Australia as a result of the unfolding project.
3. John Lee Hancock: The writer of "Snow White and the Huntsman" directs the movie from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith. "The script was completely developed outside of Disney...and I don't think it could have been developed inside the walls of Disney. I think they might have chipped away at Walt's character," he told Variety.
4. Victoria Summer: For her spot-on portrayal of Julie Andrews, who won the 1965 Academy Award for Best Actress. In an interview with Huffington Post, Summer said, "[Getting the part was] one of those classic Hollywood stories, really...I got a phone call from casting and they said that my picture had been chosen out of thousands and I was first choice to play Julie Andrews in the new Tom Hanks/Emma Thompson movie Saving Mr. Banks."
5. Colin Farrell: For playing Travers Robert Goff, P. L. Travers' alcoholic father. "It has so much heart," Farrell said of his latest project in an interview with Access Hollywood.

Johnny's World: Terrified
Falls Church News-Press: It's 8 p.m. on an idle Monday night. The pruning sheers cut through the stems of the roses, hydrangeas, and assorted annoying nameless blossom flowers of this week's arrangement with ease. As with the last three daily pruning sessions, this one is a success. Each flower has been arranged, returned to exactly the same place from whence it came. The new water, not too warm, has been filled, not too high, but just enough for the beautifully scented, dying life forms to drink for another day. The flowers, arranged in antique Czech crystal, are flawless.
The dishes from dinner have been scraped, scrubbed, and pre-cleaned and now sit comfortably in the dishwasher waiting for an evening of deep cleaning. Despite the kitchen having been cleaned after dinner service ended at 5:30 p.m., it is not flawless. The all-purpose cleanser and sponge come out of the place beneath the sink where they rest so as not to draw too much attention to themselves. They know their purpose and go right to work, cleaning an already clean surface, busting away the germs and unseen bacteria that live in every crevice and threaten the lives of millions. The kitchen is scrubbed, gleaming and flawless.

Top 5 Pros and Cons of Berber Carpet
We don't like "Berber carpet advantages" and "Berber carpet disadvantages" lists. It's not that we don't like lists. In fact, we think they're a great way of getting information across: all the facts without the fluff. Unfortunately, the fluff is sometimes necessary. This is the case with Berber carpet. If you have some background knowledge on Berber carpet, you understand why. It's like asking the top 10 advantages of eating meat. Fish, beef, and chicken are all meats, but each has it's own advantage and disadvantage. It's too big of a category to give such general opinions. Berber carpet is the same way. Nevertheless, we did give in--to a degree. We searched the internet for other "Berber carpet (dis)advantages" lists. Then, we compiled what these lists had in common, and we analyzed them. Now, you can know what's right, what's wrong, and what needs more explanation.
Note: If you're in the market for new carpet, do yourself a favor and check out our right way to buy carpet page. It's guaranteed to save you time and money.
Top 5 Advantages
- Durability: Durability has nearly become synonymous with Berber carpet. The durability of different fibers varies. However, we find that this selling point of Berber carpet is generally pretty accurate.
- Stain resistant: We also agree with this advantage, but we think it could use a little modification. "Spill resistant" would be more accurate. All of the varieties of Berber carpet tend not to absorb spills, allowing you to blot them up. Stain resistant is not as accurate because some types of Berber carpet are prone to oil stains.
- Aesthetically appealing/versatile: Berber carpets allow for unique designs and color schemes. Berber carpet often has a flecked color scheme giving it a great ability to adapt to multiple interior design schemes. This one remains true for all Berber carpet.
- Comfort: Berber carpet's looped design provides a cushiony feel under your feet. This is especially true with wool and nylon varieties. Olefin and polyester also share this feel to some degree. However, some people find olefin and polyester to have a rough feel on bare feet.
- Economical: Berber carpets are known to be a great value. This is typically true. With this said, the price range still varies greatly. Wool Berber carpets are not cheap. They may be worth the money, but if you have a tight budget, olefin and polyester will be better decisions.
Top 5 Disadvantages
- Snags: It is possible to snag a loop of Berber carpet. If left untreated, the snag can unravel and cause a much worse problem. Check out our Berber carpet repair guide to prevent this from happening. While snags are possible, the majority of people with Berber carpet don't have a problem with snagging.
- Stains: It was a little funny reading the advantages and disadvantages lists. We found many of them to be contradictory, while still making sense to some degree. Berber carpet is stain resistant, but when a stain does occur, it can be more difficult to clean than other carpets.
- Rough: Another seemingly contradictory statement (to the comfort advantage). Some people do think the cheaper Berber carpets have a rough feel. With this in mind, many families have cheaper olefin Berber carpets and find them very comfortable.
- Cats: Some people have found that their cats like to use Berber carpet as a scratching post. Usually this is not the case, but if it is, it will wear greatly on the carpet. Buying the cat an alternative scratching pad may be necessary.
- We like to keep things optimistic, so we're leaving it at one less disadvantage.

When I was an undergraduate at UC Berkeley, I was member of a Christian fraternity. One of the most enjoyable parts of our fraternity was the conversation. We had members from nearly every kind of church background. On those beautiful fall nights, we would often walk down the street to find a table at Café Strada, the coffee shop across the street from campus.
We would sit, play cards, and talk about life. We would talk about faith. We would talk about our hopes and dreams. Sometimes to be sure, we would agree to disagree, and yet there was something profoundly special about those cool Berkeley evenings.
I've come to realize it's not always easy to have conversations with people and it's not always easy to have conversations with people from different faith traditions. In my mind's eye, I have this ideal of life—the way I wish life could be. In this ideal, there is something from those evenings at Café Strada. We are sitting around an outdoor table, drinking hot cups of coffee, enjoying a pleasant fall evening together. We are talking about family, faith and life. There might be moments of extended silence, and other moments of easy laughter. We are sharing this time together.
It's funny how life works. Life is filled with exciting and full experiences and yet the moments which have become meaningful for me, are not the times of accomplishment, or even celebration. The moments most meaningful to me now are often the quiet times, where I was able to enjoy something as simple as a conversation, throwing around a baseball, or taking a long walk.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Founded by art collector and benefactor Samuel Longstreth Parrish in 1897, this museum's collection is centered around American paintings of the late 19th and 20th centuries. It includes many of the artists, like Larry Rivers, who worked out of Eastern Long Island studios in the 1950s, as well as contemporary artists (such as Elizabeth Peyton and Erich Fischl) with Hamptons connections and the turn-of-the-century American Impressionist William Merritt Chase. Southampton's first (and only) art museum is also in the midst of planning a major makeover: In 2012, it's expected to move to a new, 34,000-square-foot space in nearby Water Mill designed by Herzog & de Meuron.—Updated by Darrell Hartman

Staying safe on the water
UNDATED — As the water level of the Susquehanna River begins to recede, more boaters will be out on the water. Waterways Conservation officer Steven Boughter says boat safety is of extreme importance for experienced and beginner boaters alike. "One of the most common violations are people not have lifevests. It is very important and all boats are required to have them and they have to be U.S. Coast Guard approved and fitted for each person on the boat." Boughter says there is no open container law on a boat, but while alcohol is allowed, any driver of the boat is prohibited from drinking. "Boater safety is really the same all the time, it is…

Gettysburg battles are 'commemoration'
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) – Thousands of history buffs have taken a mile-long commemorative march across the Gettysburg field where the Confederate Army made its ill-fated Pickett's Charge 150 years ago to end the pivotal battle of the Civil War. A National Park Service spokeswoman said it was the most ambitious program ever planned to remember the South's failed assault, during which 12,000 men in nine brigades tried to break the Union lines. It ended the three-day Battle of Gettysburg July 1-3, 1863. On Wednesday, visitors broke up into nine groups led by park rangers and re-enactors dressed in period uniforms. The march wasn't a re-enactment with gunfire and bayonets. The Park Service says it…
PA House and Senate: Progress reported
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – A spokesman says Pennsylvania House Republican leaders will decide when to bring rank-and-file members back to Harrisburg after senators stripped a provision from a budget-related bill that they say the House inserted without their approval. The Senate voted unanimously Wednesday to send the bill back to the House after stripping out a provision that suggests House and Senate Republican leaders support the legalization of high-interest "payday" loans in Pennsylvania. Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi says the statement is simply inaccurate and doesn't belong in legislation. Many consumer groups oppose payday lending. House GOP spokesman Steve Miskin says he doesn't know who inserted the provision. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that a…

It used to be easy to meet those leaders of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood who were not behind bars. They could be found in a dusty office on a Cairo side street; they had time for all visitors. Today, however, the movement has an imposing new headquarters in a suburb overlooking the city. One has to nag or pull strings to secure a meeting, and even then the visitor finds himself or herself shuffled between waiting rooms, lucky to be granted a quick interview as leaders rush from one meeting to the next, taking time out only (of course) to pray in the foyer. Shortly before Mubarak's fall, one-third of the Brotherhood's top leadership was imprisoned. Now, one Brotherhood member is about to become the parliamentary speaker; by the end of the year, several ministries (and perhaps even the premiership) should lie in the Brotherhood's hands. Egypt will quite likely have a president who owes his election to its support.
This is a heady moment for the Brotherhood, and it is one for which nothing in the group's history prepares it. On one occasion in the early 1950s, the Brotherhood was offered a Cabinet ministry. That was as close as it came to political power. But the Brotherhood prides itself on thinking of generations, not electoral cycles. Can the Brothers sustain their sudden success?
In the country at large, the problems of Egypt's transition are almost too numerous to mention: the crumbling economy, the cascade of conflicting statements from military rulers, an idiosyncratic electoral process and strangely drafted constitutional framework all continue to cause confusion. Most eyes are currently — and will remain for the next few months — on the big political questions: How will Egypt's parliamentary blocs work together (if at all)? Will the military really surrender power, and if so, on what terms? How will the country's constitution be written — and who will write it?
All these questions do occupy the attention of Brotherhood leaders. But in conversations with them over the past few months, I am convinced that three longer-term issues loom just as large for them as the day-to-day maneuverings that make all the headlines.
First, they know that other Islamist movements have come close to power in the region before, only to be pushed aside rudely by their domestic or international opponents. Therefore, they need to mollify liberals, avoid frightening the military and present a businesslike face to Europe and the United States — all without forgetting what they like to call their "fixed positions." Or at least they must be seen as doing so in front of their followers. That requires not just simply carefully tailoring statements, but also learning how to speak those statements in one voice, something that has been difficult in the rush of recent events.
Nowhere is this problem more acute for the Brotherhood than in the area of Israeli-Egyptian relations. Support for the Palestinian cause is hardwired into the Brotherhood's origins; its emotional ties with Hamas are real. But the Brotherhood-sponsored Freedom and Justice Party is preparing to take up positions in political authority in a state that has treaty obligations and seeks the support of a society that, while hardly sympathetic to Israel in any way, has no appetite for war.

LEXINGTON, Kentucky — With all of the controversy surrounding the Affordable Care Act last year, self-employed welder Tom Sudduth figured there was no way the law would survive.
So he ignored it.
But this year, the 57-year-old had to pay a tax penalty because he did not have health insurance for at least nine months last year. So on Friday, Sudduth was one of a few dozen people in line at the kynect store in the Fayette Mall to sign up for health insurance ahead of Sunday's deadline.
"There are no benefits when you are self-employed," he said. "I've been blessed with good health, but like I said, I can feel the years coming on."
A family of four in Kentucky earning more than $24,250 a year has until midnight Sunday to sign up for health insurance to avoid a federal tax penalty - $325 per person or 2 percent of household income, whichever is larger. The penalty only applies to people who earn more than 100 percent of the federal poverty level, including those who earn between 100 percent and 138 percent that are eligible for the Medicaid expansion.
People who are eligible can sign up for Medicaid at any time. But everyone else has until midnight Sunday to purchase a qualified health plan through kynect, the state exchange, which could include federal subsidies to lower your monthly premiums depending on your situation.
State officials said Friday they did not know how many Kentuckians were uninsured and would be subject to the penalty after Sunday. Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear said less than 12 percent of the state is uninsured, but some of them won't be penalized because they fall below 100 percent of the federal poverty level.
Enrollments through kynect have slowed in its second year of operation, with about 25,000 people purchasing private plans compared with more than 70,000 last year. Altogether more than half a million people have signed up for health insurance through kynect, but most of those people have enrolled in Medicaid, the government-funded health insurance program for the poor.
In its first year of operation, just three health insurance companies sold private plans on kynect. The Kentucky Health Cooperative was the lone nonprofit, estimating it would sign up about 30,000 people. Instead, it sold more than 57,000 plans - so much that it had to take a $65 million federal solvency loan in November.
But other nonprofit health insurance companies have found it more difficult to duplicate Kentucky Health Cooperative's success during the second enrollment period. CareSource, an Ohio-based nonprofit insurer, has sold about 4,600 private health plans in 16 counties covering the northern Kentucky, Louisville and Lexington areas during its first year on the exchange.
"That's one of the things we are seeing as a second year player is they did such a great job ... of promoting kynect and getting coverage that, you know, the market is very saturated. There are a lot of people who got coverage last year," said Jenny Michael, CareSource's director of corporate communications.
Jon Copley, executive director of CareSource's Kentucky market, said the company was on track to meet its enrollment goals. He said the company is encouraging people who purchased insurance plans last year to shop around on the exchange before renewing their plans to see if they can get a better deal.
State officials made a number of changes for the second enrollment period, including launching a mobile phone app, authorized more than a 1,000 new insurance agents to sell plans through kynect and opened a store at the Fayette Mall in Lexington.
While people can sign up for health insurance online and over the phone, about 7,500 people have visited the store in Lexington, and 5,500 of those have filled out applications. It's a necessity for people like Sudduth, who drove more than 40 miles to visit the store.
"I can't even turn on a computer," he said.

His vision, from the constantly passing bars,
has grown so weary that it cannot hold
anything else.
—R. M. Rilke, "The Panther," trans.
Stephen Mitchell
At first I thought they were windbreaks to shield the vines and villages from the Mistral, or else some charming custom of the particular area in which I found myself, a throwback to an earlier and nobler time. More than once in my mind's eye I saw a grand ducal carriage making graceful progress down one of these long, tree-lined avenues in the early autumn twilight. But no. Madame Elizabeth told me, when I mentioned them, that they were Napoleon's roads, the Routes Napoleon, and that he had had the trees planted to shade his troops, while on maneuvers, from the harsh high-summer sun. And the idea had stuck. Even now, she said, almost two hundred years later, hardly a new road was opened that did not soon have, on either side, its avenue of trees.
• •
All through the region they run among vines. In
the winter the clipped stocks reach out for acres on either side
of the avenues of trees like ranked armies being inspected by lines
of silent officers, or else quietly waiting, before battle, for
a signal. Watching them there is also something else, that you have
also seen before—the ranked order, the long rows of stunted
crosses, as if these too were somehow Napoleon's idea, or there
had been an idea, a shape before all of it, running through Napoleon's
• •
At the Jardin des Plantes there is no panther,
only a couple of aged lions in an ancient cage at an intersection
of paths with a commanding view of the broad, central avenue. They
do not pace, as the panther might, but sit at the base of their
large rocks, looking out over the sparse winter crowd, with rheumy
eyes that, it suddenly occurs to me, might well be totally blind.
Another day, walking back toward the fifth arrondissement,
from the Gare d'Austerlitz, we pass the Jardin on the river side
and find we can see clearly into the cage of wolves from the Cévennes.
It is 4:00 p.m. The
traffic is heavy on the Quai Saint Bernard. The wolves are relentlessly
pacing out a large figure eight, over their small hill, down the
other side, along the bottom end of the cage, back up the hill to
cross the path they have just taken, then down on our side, along
the fence, back up, crossing the path, down. Watching them, I am
glad there is no panther, that he is out there somewhere, long dead,
free of the cage. Paris is freezing. As we set off toward the hotel
the wind picks up and an icy rain starts. I imagine the wolves pacing
just to keep warm.
• •
Napoleon's roads are very straight and very dangerous.
There is little room to maneuver. Drivers in this country have a
lust for speed, and for passing the car in front of them—a
kind of wild impatience behind the steering wheel that is probably
the inverse of their famous grace and civility in the office and
drawing room. They are sauvage, my landlady says, and will tailgate at high speed, pass in almost impossible
places. With large trees every five meters or so on either side
of the road and only centimeters from the bitumen, there is no margin
for error. Where in another country a slewing or swerving car might
veer into an open field or ride up onto pavement, here there is
only almost certain death, wrapped around one of Napoleon's trees.
• •
Coming home from Montpellier long after sunset,
nearing the turnoff, using low beam behind a car a few hundred meters
in front of us, its light caged in by the long, straight avenue
of trunks and winter branches, it is as if we are speeding through
a tunnel far underground, or perhaps a vein, an artery in the night.
"Do we have to take the turnoff?" my daughter asks me.
"Can't we keep going? I love driving at night." As if,
after all that, there would still be home at the end of it. Or this
were home for the moment, this warm capsule, flying through the
dark body of things.

A web—une toile d'araignée—with Paris at the center. Une toile abandoné? Or does the web still invoke the spider?

The first of the roads between the D32 and Puilacher,
the one closest to Canet, is only one car wide but still has its
row of plane trees along either side. To let past a car that is
coming the other way you have to pull over to the very edge, almost
into the ditch between the road and trees, or back up a hundred
yards to the highway, running an even greater risk of ditching yourself.
We call this road the stink road because of the large dam beside
it, full of the foul-smelling tailings from the winery. On warm
days when the smell is worst we try to avoid the road entirely,
or else quickly wind up the windows, drive along it holding our

They are pulling up the road to Claremont in preparation
for the autoroute. Now, instead of the great trees between Canet
and the Nebian turnoff, there are only the trunks of them, cut into
segments, and the enormous, ploughed root-balls, almost lost, at
sunset, in the gathering shadow below the pylons.
• •
On the vast plain between Paris and the sea, the
roads to Chartres are lined with tall poplars, bare winter branches
interlacing high over the bitumen, the cathedral at the hub, stone
branches in its nave and narthex just touching, as if the builders
had been dreaming of poplars, or the tree-planters dreaming of the
high gothic arches, the tracings in the rose windows that seem to
remember the way the winter branches, interlocking over the roadway,
are like a three-dimensional map of roads in the sky, seen from
far off.
• •
Late autumn, the harvest long over and the trimming
and uprooting of stocks well under way, the stocks and cuttings
and dead leaves raked into the ditches or piled in open spaces and
set alight. But some of it is out of hand. Tonight eleven large
blazes are visible from the Paulhan turnoff alone, and the fire
brigades from Clermont, Gignac, Paulhan, and Le Puget are all out.
Sirens everywhere. And the police, driving slowly along the darkening
vine-roads, looking for a culprit.

In London, up from the Languedoc and eating Lebanese
at the Gallip-li Café, I try to tell my English editor about
Australia. We are talking about Shakespeare and she doesn't quite
see. I tell her about my resentment, my frustration. She tells me
about the great oaks and beeches and plane trees. I try to tell
her how they line the roads, how dangerous and complicated this
is, how they mark and shut out the countryside about them, but she
can see only the trees, how ancient and solid and majestic they
are, how nobly they mark out the land. Later, driving back to our
borrowed flat—past Picadilly, Trafalgar Square, the Smithfield
Markets, all those old names—I remember what I should
have remembered then: how the great oaks and beeches of the New
Forest were cut down to build the ships that discovered Tahiti and
New South Wales; how on the Federal Highway, between Goulburn and
Collector, there runs an avenue of poplars ("piboule," Madam said—we are living on the Avenue
de la Piboule—"that is also old languedocien for poplar") remembering the soldiers killed in Amiens, Arras, Gallipoli.
Or how, beside them, someone has started to grow vines.

My daughter has an image that amuses her, of the
Emperor, on his days off, with a shovel and a cart full of saplings,
trudging along the roads between the grapevines, doing the planting
himself. Did Napoleon get the armies to do it, we wonder, or was
it gangs of prisoners, or perhaps of laborers, forced away from
their vineyards for the job? And, if prisoners, what kind of prisoners
would they have been? Common criminals? Political prisoners? Prisoners
of war? It's like the Great Wall of China, I tell her, and perhaps
not; the different work sites, different regional commands, the
building piecemeal, the intention to connect it all at last in some
time far in the future ("You start from Béziers, on
the way to Pézenas; others will be starting at Montagnac,
St. Jean de Vedas, Gignac . . .

Car headlights, far back, in the rearview mirror,
like a large cat's eyes in the darkness, and I think, That's how
they are, or we, coming and going, from Paulhan to Belarga, Canet
to Plaissan, if seen from out there: the panther, pacing back and
forth, behind the bars of the trees.

Approaching the Intermarché just north
of Canet, along the short stretch of older trees before the river,
we are passed by a speeding ambulance, and twenty minutes later,
coming home, find it again, with two others and a police van in
a cluster blocking half of the highway. It must have happened while
we were buying the milk and the cigarettes. One car, front badly
crushed, is still on the road and the other, that had been trying
to pass it, is as badly crumpled on its side in the ditch. There
are enough people there already. I am concerned only to drive slowly
past and cannot look, but my daughter tells me they are taking a
bald man out of the car in the ditch—that they've had to cut
the car open to do so. The accident is just around the corner from
the stink road and we take it into Puilacher without thinking, winding
up the windows against the sudden smell of it.
• •
On a hill beside Plaissan is a dolmen, though
you do not get to it from Plaissan but from Le Puget, up a long
dirt track and then through thickets of some wiry brush I don't
ever manage to get a name for. A depression, or trench, or wide
grave, the earth held back by giant stones to create a narrow space
for the body, though whose body no one can say: a chieftain perhaps,
two thousand years ago. And around it—you can take in almost
a full circle if you stand on the huge lintel—the roads, with
their snaking, parallel lines of trees, in some pattern you would
need to be under a balloon to see properly. And perhaps, if you
could, other hills, other dolmens. Nazca. A summoning. Except that
the tombs remain empty, waiting.

Dogs on the road. Running toward me with no intention
of stopping. A game of chicken. So that I have to slow down, pull
to the side to let them pass, in their rush to get wherever they
are going. Part of a hunting pack, lost or on the scent of something,
the rest of them out among the vines. Up in the hills they are hunting
deer and wild boar, but here it is rabbits, or quails bred for the
purpose, released into the vines after the vendange, two weeks before the season starts. When you go out
walking, they say, wear bright colors, stick to the paths.

The problem with a question is that it implies
its own answer. The problem with an answer, that it responds to
a question. But the question that rejects its own answer? The answer
that will not fit its question? The memory of the tidal flats about
Mont St. Michel, and in the fields beyond them the stands of trees,
ranked, silver in the winter light, like fragments of roads long
washed away, or that never came, answers to a question no one ever
got around to asking.
How do you write like sand?
How do you write like water?

To see the other roads, the other trees, is not
easy. You must almost risk your life. Particularly if you wish to
take photographs. You must pull to the side, half on and half off
the bitumen, on the thin strip of unmown grass that sometimes runs
between the ditch and the road itself, or turn on to one of the
service paths of the vineyards. Or else come to a dangerous halt
in the middle of the narrow road itself, hoping that you can be
finished and driving again before the next car comes. Bearing in
mind that while, when you're moving, you can think yourself the
only driver on an otherwise deserted road, when you stop you're
likely to find that this is far from so, that within a minute, or
not very much longer, a second car will pass, and then a third,
a fourth. Bearing in mind, too, that, unless you stop, unless you
risk your life, you may never see, in that articulated sky-map of
winter branches, a large crow landing, shaking the whole, or a flight
of swallows darting through, straight from a meal among the vines.

I am beginning to drive like a Frenchman, my daughter
tells me, taking greater risks, judging distances more finely, passing
when there's no need to, driving at 120 in the 100 zones. I want
to tell her about Rimbaud, his "dérèglement
de tous les sens," "long,
immense et raisonné."
But it is not that. I have no excuse. The way, waking late at night,
I can sometimes hear my blood, raging down its avenues. The way,
not waking, I sometimes dream a dream of earliest childhood, in
the Humber with my mother and father, somewhere between Belgrade
and Zagreb, the rain, the long, straight road, the long avenues
of trees. The heart like a creature pacing, inside the cage of bones.
Things I cannot say, cannot retrieve.
• •
Outside Canet, where the road narrows before the
bridge, the great bruised trees, or by the Gignac crossroad in ghostly
light, like scared men running, or the already-crucified, mile after
mile. No unknown but we try to cage it, as if that were our greatest
fear, the loose.
Driving in to town on a Tuesday evening, on the
road toward Gignac, I become aware of a giant moon, and have to
struggle to keep my eyes off it, to keep the car on the road. I
have never felt the moon's power so strongly, so dangerously. All
the way to the autoroute it comes and goes, strobing through the
avenue of trees, slipping now behind a hill and appearing again,
suddenly, through a cloud of vine smoke. In Montpellier, safe among
the buildings, I feel lucky to have survived—as if, very physically,
something that had been pulling at me had at last let go.
• •
How to say that these roads are about what is
not road, this text about what it is not? In the apartment on the
Avenue de la Piboule there is an aerial photograph of the surrounding
countryside and the villages of Les Six Clochers—Puilacher,
Tressan, Belarga, Canet, Plaissan, Le Pouget—in such detail
we can see the roof of our own building; the tree-lined roads like
dark ribbons through the lighter quadrilaterals of the vineyards,
the unlined roads and paths among them a lighter and finer filigree.
The Routes Napoleon, then, and the openness beyond them, the paragraphs
of vines, whiteness. And even this is not it. Even this is not what
I mean.
• •
The road outside Capestang, or over the river
at Trèbes, above the ranked barges. There is a sudden turn
there, as the road, that has been straight for five or six kilometers,
enters the village and you cross the bridge—and calm, a moment's
slowness after the highway speed, the majestic trees bending in
over the water, forming a great bower, and then the thin, winding
streets, the café, the tabac, the boulangerie, before highway
again, out through the acres of vines.
• •
The plane and the poplar are fast-growing trees,
but even Napoleon, planting them along his roads, can't have thought
they would be tall enough to shade his troops the next year, or
for several years to come. What was it then? Investment? Empire?
Belief in the future? Each year, when they did go on maneuvers—those
who lived, those who survived—the trees were a little taller,
a little fuller of foliage.
• •
I imagine them singing as they marched, though
perhaps it was harsher than that, only the occasional soldier, singing
under his breath.
• •
Thursday, 5:15 p.m.,
huge moon over Campagnon, round and full and riding low over the
scattered lights. Impossible to return the next night, but there
at the same time Saturday, with camera. No moon. Have clearly miscalculated
the rising times. Decide to pull off the road and wait anyway, to
see. And within two minutes a police car appears—I can just
make out the "Gendarme" sign in the half-dark—and
moves carefully up beside me. One of them—there are three
men in the car—winds the window slowly down as I do the same.
Does he think I have a shotgun? Matches?
"Un problem?"
"Non, pas de problem . . . J'attend un photo,"
holding up the camera, "—de la lune . . ."
"D'accord," he says, calmly—not
the slightest reaction—and they drive off.
God knows what they say. Maybe nothing. The moon,
after all, is a remarkable thing. Even gendarmes watch it. Or must
have—I think as I drive away—an hour ago, as they paced
the D32, unable to take their eyes off it, huge and dangerous through
the bars of the trees.

EUGENE, Ore. — From four to three, the 4J school board crossed one group off the list in the bid for civic stadium. The district said "Friends of Civic Stadium" is no longer in the running to buy the ballpark.
It's a decision the 4J school board's been trying to make for years and now the game is coming to an end. "We are about six weeks out from now," said Kerry Delf, 4J spokesperson.
The school board eliminated the group "Friends of Civic Stadium" from the running, which means there are just three groups left up to bat to purchase or lease the historic ballpark. Two of them, the city of Eugene and the YMCA seemed to have game plans that generated the most support from the community. "I'd love to see that be a community based area still and remain community based. It was a great place to go, bring your families, and share a lovely evening," said Eugene resident Linda Farmer.
"I personally believe regardless of any of the applicants that to just sell this off because legitimate need is a breach of faith with the past and with the people of Eugene," said Eugene resident Scott Bartlett.
The other team that's stepping up to the plate is Fred Meyer. "But that they have a Fred Meyer in the lead I was just very amazed that a Fred Meyer would be under consideration for that area," said Farmer.
But Fred Meyer says it has plenty of fans cheering on its proposal. "We understand that we might not be a favorite option for some members of the community, but we've talked to a lot of the community. We've had some open houses for the neighborhood. There is support for us there as well, it's a great financial option for the school district and the community," said Melinda Merrill, Fred Meyer spokesperson.
All three groups will take a time out until one week from Wednesday when they'll present their plans to the school board during an executive session. The district said it will get a recommendation from the superintendent by the end of the month. It says it will make a final decision on which if any of the proposals it will accept by February 19th.

(born circa 1100, Jersey, Channel Islands—died after 1174) Anglo-Norman poet. He is known for his two verse chronicles, the Roman de Brut (1155) and the Roman de Rou (1160–74), named respectively after the reputed founders of the Britons and Normans. The Brut is a romanticized account of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia regum Britanniae, tracing the history of Britain from its founding by the legendary Brutus the Trojan. Its many fanciful additions (including the story of Arthur's Round Table) were important in the development of the Arthurian legend, and its literary style influenced later verse romances. The Rou, commissioned by Henry II of England, is a history of the Norman dukes (circa 911–1106).
Learn more about Wace with a free trial on Britannica.com.
His extant works include:
Roman de Brut (c. 1155) was based on the Historia Regum Britanniae of Geoffrey of Monmouth. It cannot be regarded as a history in any modern sense, although Wace often distinguishes between what he knows and what he does not know, or has been unable to find out. Wace narrates the founding of Britain, by Brutus of Troy, to the end of the legendary British history created by Geoffrey of Monmouth. The popularity of this work is explained by the new accessibility to a wider public of the Arthur legend in a vernacular language. In the midst of the Arthurian section of the text, Wace was the first to mention the legend of King Arthur's Round Table and the first to ascribe the name Excalibur to Arthur's sword, although he on the whole adds only minor details to Geoffrey's text. The Roman de Brut became the basis, in turn, for Layamon's Brut, an alliterative Middle English poem, and Piers Langtoft's Chronicle. Historian Matthew Bennett, in an article entitled "Wace and Warfare," has pointed out that Wace clearly had a good understanding of contemporary warfare, and that the details of military operations he invents to flesh out his accounts of pseudo-historical conflicts can therefore be of value in understanding the generalities of warfare in Wace's own time.
His later work, the Roman de Rou, was, according to Layamon, commissioned by King Henry II of England. A large part of the Roman de Rou is devoted to William the Conqueror and the Norman Conquest. Wace's reference to oral tradition within his own family suggests that his account of the preparations for the Conquest and of the Battle of Hastings may have reliant not only on documentary evidence but also on eyewitness testimony from close relations-- though no eyewitnesses would have been still alive when he began work on the text. The Roman de Rou also includes a mention of the appearance of Halley's Comet. The relative lack of popularity of the Roman de Rou may reflect the loss of interest in the history of the Duchy of Normandy following the incorporation of continental Normandy into the kingdom of France in 1204.
The Anglo-Norman language Wace wrote in is variously regarded as a dialect of the Norman language, a dialect of Old French, or specifically the precursor of Jèrriais. Writers in Jersey have looked on Wace as the founder of Jersey literature, and Jèrriais is sometimes referred to as the language of Wace although the poet himself predated the development of Jèrriais as a literary language. Wace is the earliest known Jersey writer.
Although the name Robert has been ascribed to Wace, this is a tradition resting on little evidence. It is generally believed nowadays that Wace only had one name. As a clerc lisant, he was proud of his title of Maistre (master) and is consequently sometimes referred to as Maistre Wace.
It has been claimed that Wace's descriptions of militarily strategic points on the coast of Normandy were used in the early planning stages of the Battle of Normandy. There is a granite memorial stone to Wace built into the side of the States Building in Jersey's Royal Square. This includes a quote from the Roman de Rou that expresses the poet's pride in his place of birth:

5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar
DELAFIELD, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- There isn't a day that goes by on Wall Street when certain stocks trading for $10 a share or less don't experience massive spikes higher. Traders savvy enough to follow the low-priced names and trade them with discipline and sound risk management are banking ridiculous coin on a regular basis.
>>5 Stocks to Trade for Gains: Must-See Charts
Just take a look at some of the hot movers in the under-$10 complex from Wednesday, including Clean Diesel Technologies ( CDTI), which skyrocketed higher by 49.1%; Zhone Technologies ( ZHNE), which soared higher by 35.5%; Top Ships ( TOPS), which spiked higher by 26.5%; and Mastech ( MHH), which jumped higher by 23.4%. You don't even have to catch the entire move in lower-priced stocks such as these to make outsized returns when trading.
One low-priced stock that recently exploded higher was solar power player Suntech Power ( STP), which I highlighted in June 27's " 5 Stocks Under $10 Set to Soar" at $1.05 a share. I mentioned in that piece that shares of STP had recently formed a triple bottom chart pattern, with the stock finding buying interest at 86 cents, 89 cents and 93 cents per share. This stock was starting to bounce off that support zone and move within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade was set to hit if STP managed to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.18 to $1.28 a share with high volume.
>>5 Stocks Insiders Love Right Now Guess what happened? Shares of STP started to trigger that breakout on July 15 with heavy upside volume. The stock closed at $1.40 a share on that day and then it went on to hit an intraday high of $1.68 a share the following trading session with monster upside volume. Had you bought STP off weakness and anticipated that move, then you would have captured a gain of close to 60% from when my article first hit. Shares of STP are now setting up again for another breakout trade above $1.68 a share. If that breakout triggers soon, then this stock could easily hit $1.80 a share to north of $2 a share. Low-priced stocks are something that I tweet about on a regular basis. I frequently flag high-probability setups, breakout candidates and low-priced stocks that are acting technically bullish. I like to hunt for low-priced stocks that are showing bullish price and volume trends, since that increases the probability of those stocks heading higher. These setups often produce monster moves higher in very short time frames. >>5 Toxic Stocks to Sell Now I'm not as eager to recommend investing long-term in stocks that trade less than $10 a share because these names can be very speculative, and the odds for picking the long-term winners aren't great. But I definitely love to trade stocks that are priced below $10. I like to view them as a trading vehicle with lots of volatility and lots of upside when the trade is timed right. When I trade under-$10 names, I do it almost entirely based off of the charts and technical analysis. I also like to find under-$10 names with a catalyst, but that's secondary to the chart and volume patterns. With that in mind, here's a look at several under-$10 stocks that look poised to potentially trade higher from current levels.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Fudge, Erica (2004) Animal lives. History Today, 54 (10). pp. 21-26. ISSN 0018-2753
| PDF - Published Version Download (1940Kb) | Preview |
The writer discusses the possibility of writing an animal's biography. It may be too simple to assume that anthropocentrism—a belief in the centrality and superiority of human beings—is the reason why the concept of biography has always been applied uniquely to humans. To write a "life" may not just be to present a series of "facts" but to bear testimony to that individual's capacity to communicate through language the subject's own self-understanding. Using this rationale, the subject of biography is always potentially the subject of autobiography. The exclusion of animals from the Dictionary of National Biography does not just demonstrate the ongoing anthropocentrism of history as a discipline, but it also demonstrates the continuation of a version of human selfhood that is, and always has been, created out of, in exclusion from, and by the naming of animals.
