The Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory (MDL) conducts a variety of molecular genetic tests for clinical and risk assessment purposes. In addition, the MDL provides sequencing services to support clinical research at Fox Chase. The laboratory, which is within the Department of Pathology, is certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), a designation that qualifies the MDL to perform high complexity clinical laboratory testing.
Next-Generation DNA Sequencing Test
The Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory is now offering patients a cutting-edge molecular test called the Targeted Cancer Panel (TCP). Using leading-edge technology—the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine—the test sequences 50 cancer-related genes in an individual's tumor. This "genetic blueprint" of the patient's cancer has the potential to enable physicians to match the patient with a precision drug that targets his or her specific cancer.
Single Gene Tests
Single gene tests are routinely used to identify mutations that are common in certain types of cancer. The presence of these mutations may indicate that a patient can be treated with a specific targeted therapy, or predict that a patient will not respond to a specific therapy.
Risk Assessment Testing
For patients whose personal or family histories suggest a high inherited genetic risk of cancer, a genetic test can predict their likelihood of developing that disease.

1991 Honda Accord Sedan DX 4dr Sedan
bought new in 91. Have had some issues over the years. Got away from the dealer repair charges... was killing me. Could not walk in there without dropping $600 min. Have found 2 good mechanics who keep it running. Interior getting a bit raggedy but, it keeps running. 3rd clutch but they lasted about 300k each. Some rust out around rear wheel wells and bottom of back door. I got no car note and I am happy. Just cant part with a car that keeps running. Probably bought a cheap bmw for the money I have put in it over the years. But, scumbag mechanics in the past have not helped. Now, thank god I have 2 great guys that fix my shorty and it keeps going. Need to fix the heater core now and the dash
handling, 5 spd, approx. 30 mpg still, headliner is not raggedy thanks to composite material
get me a million miles on it... stop dealerships from charging an arm and leg.
1991 Honda Accord Sedan SE 4dr Sedan
Well....I bought my 1991 Accord in Feb 2010 with 138000 miles for $1600. I have no idea how many owners its had. I am thinking about buying a new car but I worry that the new car I buy won't be as reliable as my accord.I don't drive much and have only put 13,000 miles on it, but I gotta say the thing runs like a champ. I had both front axles changed, that's it so far. My next repair is an A/C leak. No leaks other then a/c, starts everytime in -20 to +105. Best car ever.The clear coat has flaked away and some rust around wheel wells. Go Honda
1991 Honda Accord Sedan LX 4dr Sedan
My Accord has over 220,000 miles on it, and is still going strong!This car has been handed down and taking several beatings, but she's a sturdy ride.Decent on gas, and the most reliable car ever.Go, Honda!
Power locks and windows
1991 Honda Accord Sedan EX 4dr Sedan
I love this car! I bought this car new late '90 and it's been a daily driver for over 20 years. I put 225,000 miles on it, changed the oil every 5,000 miles and other routine maintainence. I had a few oddball things I had to replace from time to time but nothing horrible. It still has the original clutch! I actually had to buy a muffler a few years back, and I was so use to nothing ever giving out on the car that I kind of resented it! This car never left me on the side of the road and it started every time I turned the key! The seats have no tears, dash is without cracks, electric windows and sunroof still work. Just traded it for a certified pre-owned '07 Accord with 31,000 miles. Rock on!
Ergonomic layout and great styling, crisp excelleration and great torque with a "power zone" between 2500 and 4000 RPM, though it's got great responsiveness throughout the
entire range.
No Complaints!
I ordered this car from the factory and have driven the wheels off it for 19 years. It just turned 300,000 miles this week and the engine runs very strong still. My mechanic says the engine will go 500,000. I've replaced many things over the years, cv joints, ball joints, etc. but still on original trans, engine, struts, etc. This car is a total work horse and has been worth every penny and then some. I've been looking at newer cars and with all the Honda transmission problems of late, I just keep driving my old faithful standby. Its the car at my house that ALWAYS starts.
The workhorse engine, interior still looks great, sun roof.
A little late for this but less road noise.

News that more than 40 countries have banned poultry imports from Minnesota after a lethal strain of avian influenza was confirmed in a turkey flock there has now been compounded by news of confirmed cases in Missouri and Arkansas turkeys.
Since the approval of the Community Orchard, I have been spending time researching and planning how to start the process. We decided on a date to get our young trees into the ground, so to celebrate, I thought I would share with you ten rules for planting trees. Our plant date for the orchard is Saturday, April 11, at 1 p.m. if you are interested in helping get this community project started. You can call the Extension office at 620-793-1910 for more information. We hope to see you there!
When is the best time to plant a tree? The answer is "10 years ago." The second best time to plant a tree however, is today. Trees provide air for us to breathe, shade to help keep us cool, beauty for our eyes to glance upon, and fruit for us to eat. They are just beneficial to be around physically and emotionally. I have fond memories of helping my mom trim our trees, and more than once, seeing just how high I could climb in an old Catalpa tree before I lost my nerve!

When most people think of soils in terms of plant growth, they consider soil moisture, how hard or loose the soil is for plants to grow through and the nutrient status of the soil. Too often, whether in production agriculture or not, one factor is often overlooked. This factor plays a role in all aspects of the soil environment. That factor is soil acidity which plays a huge role directly and indirectly in plant growth. This week's column starts the examination of what soil acidity is with following columns devoted to its effects on the soil as a plant ...

THE PERCEPTION is that the 76ers are void of that superstar player who could catapult them to the NBA's upper echelon. That very well could be true, but it certainly appears they have a superstar just about ready to blossom.
Since the day he took over as coach, Doug Collins has repeatedly professed his admiration for Jrue Holiday, even saying at his first meeting with the media that he saw him becoming among the top five point guards in the league in the not-too-distant future.
Holiday is just 21. He is starting his third season in the league, second as a starter. Still, he possesses the maturity of a veteran the coolness of an All-Star and the ability of, well, a future superstar.

Survey Validates Value of ARTS
Floating Widget
Floating Item Container
Floating Rate Widget
Your Rating
Prospective ARTS members frequently ask variations of two key questions: Who else is a member, and what is the measurable value of ARTS membership?
Answering the first question is easy: The ARTS member roster is a "who's who" of leading retailers and retail solution providers, including Walmart, Macy's, Lowe's, Limited Brands, Nordstrom, Kohl's, SAP, Oracle, NCR, IBM, Google and Microsoft. You can find a complete list at www.nrf-arts.org.
How members and non-members — yes, ARTS makes most of its standards available to the wider retail community free of charge — use ARTS products and quantify the value they receive from them is more difficult to determine, as many retailers no longer share "value" information due to the competitive nature of the industry.
One good measure of satisfaction can be found at the annual ARTS Users Conferences, where users present case studies on the ARTS products they have implemented. Past presentations have been made by Lowe's, BJ's Wholesale Club, Adidas, Shell, Pier 1, BevMo! and Kroger. The 2012 Users Conference will take place Sept. 30-Oct. 3 at the Sheraton Dallas by the Galleria.
The other regular sources of product usage information are the quarterly meetings attended by companies that gather to build new or enhance existing ARTS products and engage in general information sharing. The next quarterly meeting is August 13-15 at NRF headquarters in Washington, D.C. You can register to attend the 2012 Users Conference or quarterly ARTS meetings at www.nrf-arts.org.
Now, thanks to a survey conducted in partnership with NCR, ARTS has additional insight into user-quantified benefits, some of which were slightly surprising.
Part of the survey focused on reducing integration costs — one of the principles on which ARTS was founded. As you might expect, such efforts were seen as providing the greatest value benefit. But the second-most cited benefit — learning retail and implementing best practices – was something of a surprise to us. The message here appears to be, "Have a young, inexperienced staff? Use ARTS."
The survey asked about the time and cost savings retailers experienced with ARTS implementations. Seventy percent said they saved 20 percent or more when compared with non ARTS-based implementations, and 22 percent said they saved over 40 percent. So on a $100,000 project, you could reasonably expect to save more than $20,000 by implementing processes that meet ARTS standards — the equivalent of more than four years of ARTS membership dues.
Given these levels of savings, it is easy to see why 88 percent of survey respondents said they were fully satisfied with their use of ARTS standards.
Some respondents were lavish in their praise of ARTS and provided comments that we believe address some of the challenges many retailers will find familiar. For example:
"Our company had a number of aged legacy applications in place. Moving forward with rapid growth plans, we turned to ARTS. ARTS allowed us to move quickly, deliver quality solutions and control cost while providing a number of new platforms across our enterprise."
ARTS exists to help you complete your next IT project on time and on budget. The ARTS library now contains 38 products, standards, best practices and selection guidelines: Most likely, one or more of them will provide time and cost savings to your operation.

Dell Vostro 1320 laptop
This 13.3in Dell laptop doesn't look like the typical business notebook
- Solidly built, built-in optical drive, powerful CPU
- Relatively short battery life, lacks eSATA and HDMI
Bottom Line
The Dell Vostro 1320 is a good choice for any business user who wants a laptop that offers the best of both worlds: portability and fast performance. We just wish it had better battery life and more modern ports.
Price$ 1,968.00 (AUD)
Special Offers
It's got a burgundy-coloured lid and a black base, but don't let its looks fool you — the Dell Vostro 1320 isn't a notebook for hipsters to parade at coffee shops (that's what Eee PCs are for). It's a 13.3in laptop that's designed for small business users who want something that avoids the tedious black-on-black that adorns most meeting rooms and cubicles. It's solidly built, it's relatively fast and it's a good size for taking with you when you're travelling.
The Dell Vostro 1320 weighs 2.15kg, but this includes a built-in optical drive and a 4-cell battery, as well as a modest assortment of ports and slots. You get four USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, Gigabit Ethernet, D-Sub, an ExpressCard/54 slot and an SD memory card reader. It doesn't have anything as modern as eSATA or HDMI; these are the types of ports that would make the Vostro 1320, with its powerful 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 CPU, come into its own as an all-round entertainment and productivity machine. As it stands, it's a great notebook for business users.
Even with only 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM our test model scored 90 in the WorldBench 6 suite of application tests, which represents good speed for office programs, multitasking and even 3D rendering and photo manipulation. It would have performed even better if it had more RAM (perhaps reaching the same level as the Dell Vostro 1520, which scored 96 with a slightly slower CPU). In the Blender 3D and iTunes MP3 encoding tests, it recorded times of 1min 11sec and 1min 06sec, respectively, which is around what we expected of the P8700 CPU.
The Vostro 1320's hard drive (a Seagate Momentus ST9250421ASG) was also very fast. It recorded an average file transfer speed of 28 megabytes per second in our tests. This is approximately 5MBps faster than the hard drive of the Vostro 1520. This means the Vostro 1320 will serve you well when conducting disk-intensive tasks such as compressing data.
An NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS graphics adapter is present, which has its own memory and gives the Vostro 1320 relatively good graphics performance for a business laptop. It scored 2379 in 3DMark06, meaning it can play games with low-detail settings if you ever get sick of being so productive.
While its performance was impressive despite the very low amount of RAM, the Vostro 1320's build quality is another reason to consider buying this unit. It feels very solidly built — from its base to its lid. You can pick it up from either corner without the chassis bending noticeably or making any disturbing noises. And unlike the chassis around the optical drive in the Dell Vostro 1220, it didn't unnecessarily contact the optical drive's tray and make clicking noises. Furthermore, the lid protects the screen well. There isn't excessive puddling when you move it from the edges; its hinges are strong and hold the screen perfectly in place at the angle you desire. The screen is latch-less, but it can't be lifted open with one hand — that's how strong the hinges are.
The Vostro 1320's 4-cell battery lasted 2hr 20min in our video rundown test, which we conduct with maximum screen brightness and the wireless radio enabled. This result is poor when compared to the 2hr 45min that was returned by the bigger Vostro 1520. We expected the Vostro 1320 to last close to three hours.
Using the Dell Vostro 1320 for a prolonged period will give you a warm lap, but it's not uncomfortable (especially during winter). In summer, you may want to plonk the unit on a notebook cooler or desk instead. Typing on the Vostro 1320 is comfortable after you adjust to the keyboard, although it does tend to bounce a little and its keys need a little less resistance. The primary keys are 18mm wide, which is not exactly full-sized, and the function and arrow keys are half this size. One thing we love about using this laptop is its touchpad, which is responsive and has soft buttons that don't make a noise when you press them.
Our review unit retails for $1968. This includes an Intel WiFi Link 5300 wireless networking adapter, a Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth 2.0 Mini Card module, the burgundy lid, 4-cell battery, and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (and the rights to upgrade to Windows 7). It's not a bad price considering the build quality of the laptop, and with cash-back offers and online discounts (as well as free RAM upgrades) it is even better value.

The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I love my vanity pets! My old main has 100+ and is still collecting. Not having all my furry, scaly, feathered, shelled, gaseous, globulous friends on my new main is quite regrettable.
What can I say, I think the little guys are fun and I love to go quest for something new to bond with. This in mind it won't come as a surprise to your folk that one thing I have not done and will not do is buy the micro-transaction pets.
In all there are eight micro-transaction pets I could purchase at this time. Had I grabbed them all Blizz would be $110 better off and I would have eight new shinies (and two freaky furry toys for the kids). It's better this way though, cause these guys would only made me angry. WoW pet collecting from the outset has always been about venturing into the world to find your new friends. There are guides to read and websites to survey; devotees take the quest for acquisition very seriously indeed.
So along with sparkle ponies and disco lions, no pretend pets for me…
In direct contradiction to the above then here's an idea. One thing I might buy from Blizz as a microtransaction, one purchase I'd strongly consider making would be a bulk pet xfer. All my pets from my old main xferred to my new main so that I could enjoy them. Those old buddies that ventured with me in the past could now gain a new lease on life accompanying another member of my crew.
That would be cool!
But what do you think? Would you pay to xfer your pets en masse to a new toon, or would depriving your old main of all those pets they worked so hard for seem somehow unfair?

I would definitely pay to transfer my pets from my old main to my new main. I would even do the same for my mounts. Or, I'd pay to duplicate a mount or pet that one toon has, to have my other character(s) have it. I really just wish these things were account-bound...*sigh*ReplyDelete
Agreed Karot - the game is so large now that paying to duplicate work you've already done so that you can appreciate it on another seems reasonable.ReplyDelete
This in mind it won't come as a surprise to your folk that one thing I have not done and will not do is buy the micro-transaction pets.ReplyDelete

On Tap for Today: Sun, jazz, opera and techno-art
Our weather forecast says 70-something, 70-something, 70-something all week long. That's enough to inspire a lead about the weather, normally considered a cliche and a no-no.

So slip on some headphones on your lunch hour, get a good walk in and stream some entertaining and provocative radio about the state of jazz in Milwaukee.

The Bishop of Oxford is Rt Revd Dr Steven Croft.
The Bishop of Oxford is the diocesan or most senior bishop, responsible for oversight of the whole diocese. Because of its large size, the Diocese of Oxford is divided into four smaller 'episcopal Areas', each overseen by their own Area Bishop.
In some instances these 'Areas' are larger than entire dioceses elsewhere in the Church of England. In addition to his diocese-wide and national responsibilities, the Bishop of Oxford has pastoral care of the two deaneries of Oxford and Cowley, which cover the City of Oxford, right in the heart of the diocese.

Skip to comments.Subaru Boasts of a Decades Worth of Promoting Homosexuality
Posted on 12/23/2004 8:06:47 PM PST by nickcarraway
Spread in gay magazine lists accomplishments; Avis also vies for gay dollar
Its important to give credit where its due. So car buyers should know that Subaru takes its role as the most pro-homosexual car company very seriously.
In fact, the company bought a four-page, four-color pullout section in the December 21, 2004, The Advocate magazine, surrounding a celebration of 11 People of the Year selected by the magazine since 1990. Honorees include V. Gene Robinson (December 23, 2003), the homosexual Episcopal bishop; Rosie ODonnell (January 21, 2003); George Michael (January 19, 1999), following Michaels arrest for lewdness in a Beverly Hills restroom, and former Gay and Lesbian Task Force leader Urvashi Vaid and the late artist Robert Mapplethorpe (both December 18, 1990). Note: Vaids book was endorsed by presidential and vice-presidential advisor Mary Matalin, and Mapplethorpe is known for his homoerotic, X-rated images that engulfed the National Endowment for the Arts in controversy.
As for Subaru, the fourth page includes this summary:
Subaru of America celebrates ten years of support for the gay and lesbian community.
First national automaker to sponsor the Human Rights Campaign
First automaker to extend domestic partner benefits to all employees
Featured on The L Word [Showtimes lesbian drama]
Recipient of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Centers Corporate Leadership Award
First automaker to insert custom creative in gay media
Founding sponsor of the Rainbow Endowment, whose Visa Rainbow Card has raised more than $1.5 million for health, civil rights and cultural causes
Sponsor of numerous gay and lesbian cultural and athletic events
Presenting sponsor of the 2004 AIDS LifeCycle.
Sample ads from past campaigns are pictured, including one with a photo of a Subaru wagon with the slogan above it: Its Not a Choice. Its the Way Were Built.
In 2001, all three major domestic auto companies General Motors, Ford and Chrysler adopted domestic partner benefits, with Ford earning a 100% rating this year from the Human Rights Campaign as one of the most gay-friendly companies in the U.S.
Not to be outdone, Avis, the rental car agency, purchased a two-page, inside cover ad in the January/February OutTraveler, a companion edition to Out magazine. The ad shows a man with his arms around another man, kissing him on the cheek, with this text:
For over a decade, Avis has automatically included domestic partners as additional drivers in the U.S. No extra fees charged, no questions asked. And now, were coming out in grand style, including domestic partners as additional drivers internationally. So go ahead, take a spin.
While voters are moving to strengthen marriage laws, and parents are fighting to keep homosexual propaganda out of the schools, many of Americas corporate titans have gone pell-mell for the rich, niche, homosexual market. In fact, the Human Rights Campaign calls corporate America the driving wheel of homosexual activism.
Except for Philadelphia, where preaching the Gospel on the street gets you arrested on a felony hate crime, America is still a free country, so consumers should be aware of companies extracurricular activities when deciding where they spend their money.
You can also respectfully let companies know how you feel about their sponsorship of homosexual activism. It helps the most to contact local dealers, but its also good to contact the company.

Subaru? I always thought faggots liked VW Cabriolets.
Actually our "festive" citizens are quite heterogeneous when it comes to picking a car.
Subaru must also be promoting the Aids Epidemic then.
I personally couldn't care less who they want to market their cars to. I care about only a few basic things.
1) How much?
2) How much upkeep?
3) How long will it last?
4) Is it practical to my family's needs?
'97 Lexus ES300 with 162,000 miles. Runs superbly, leather seats are starting to show some wear. Also a few rattles, putting new brake pads in this weekend.
'92 Toyota pickup with 158,000 miles. Runs superbly, dented and bent up; but has ran dependably for me from the day I bought it.
I expect to get another 100,000 miles off each of them, without investing money into the engines or transmissions. I'll stay with the Japanese vehicles, thank you very much.
We all know the REAL homos drive PACCAR.
I thought about buying one of their wagons a few years ago until I saw the $25,000 sticker price... for a compact wagon! At that price I could buy a MUCH nicer car from a company that doesn't cater to the fudge packers.
Guess I could always trade it in on an F-250 pickup, but then they'd be CONVINCED that I'm a lesbian. I can't win.
I remember their ads featuring "Crocodile Dundee" and it never crossed my mind what he meant about exploring "The Outback". And how much he could load in the rear of it. And how it held on no matter how bumpy the road.
Hopelessly naive! I never caught on!
Subaru is Japanese! Glad I sold mine in 94!
New sales slogan "Subaru; The car most likely to get rear-ended in."
I've owned 2 Subarus since 1980. The 80 model lasted 125000 miles and the 1990 AWD wagon now has 212000 and still going. Still would buy another one regardless of their adv market.
Whats a homosexual car?
Cars driven by worst drivers:
1. vw hippie van
2. volvo with "support public tv" license frames
3. Suv driven by woman on cell phone
4. Subaru
5. Cadilac
Come to think of it, Subaru does have more rear-entry vehicles than most. And they suck.
As to Avis, they tried harder, but are still pretty limp.
Put on a W (Bush) sticker.
I just traded in a Subaru Forrester. Had it for 3 years. Worst car I have ever had. Rear seal, front seal, broken struts, everything you can imagine. You would not believe how bad the windshield was pitted after only 25000 miles. O2 sensors lasted about 6 months. A real piece of feces. I could go on. Everyone says they are great cars. Well, maybe they were in the 1980s, but everybody I know thats bought one in the past five years knows what a piece of crap they really are.
If this gets traction Subaru just comitted PR suicide.
Cars are not just four wheels, they make a statement. This tells us subaru=homo.
Didn't some marketing genius explain the last election to the suits? Oh wait, ad firms are in urban areas. Blue state denial, delusion and debasement.
Suburu knows its base very well.......
Naaaa you will probably be called a "f*g hag" (aka a woman with many homosexual male friends, who thinks she can convert at least one of them into the perfect straight husband.)
(/sarcasm off)
seriously, you only have to worry if this gets any PR traction. Audi seems to have recovered a bit after their misteps. Puegot weeeeeeell they had to leave the USA.
Car maker wants to alienate itself from 95% of potential car buyers?...probably not the brightest marketing strategy...
Odd thing, though: they don't make anything with rear drive. Lots of "Subaru Socialists" out here. Not everyone who drives one is a leftie, but the over/under on getting hurt or seriously killed by a drunk in an F350 dually, or by hitting an elk, cow, or deer, is about 7 years. I won't even RIDE in one of the little tin deathtraps.
Homosexual car?
Spontaneously rear ends other cars. Like an audi.
Buy a Volvo or Saab and plaster "W '04" and NRA stickers on it.
Full Disclosure: With the pickup, people will assume you've just broken up and are trying to saddle yourself a cowboy...
Don't tell me he's a closet gay... (!!)
GMC Van - 229,000 - another 200,000 should be possible
Pontiac Firebird - 178,000 - will keep for life
Pontiac Bonneville - 129,000 - should be broken in soon
No engines never rebuilt - just change the oil every 3k
Love my GM's
1.2 million
First off, Sub is paying Lance and as for gay.....
There is no Christian morality in capitalisim. Whatever sells your product and provides for the bottom line is good.
"I just traded in a Subaru Forrester."
My aunt, who had owned 3 Camry's before, bought a Forrester. She said how much she loved her new vehicle. One day the other managers at her place of work called her to go to a window over looking the parking lot.
Her new Forrester was in flames. She doesn't smoke so it wasn't a case of a misplaced cigarette. Subaru could not explain it. She took her settlement and bought another Camry.
I constantly had oil leaks. The first 2 I had repaired by the local dealer. The 3rd and 4th a dealer in a much larger city because I had lost confidence in the local guys. I no longer think it was their fault.
Now wait a minute there, mate! Paul Hogan is one of the most decent men in show business, Hollywood or not; he has been married to Linda Kozlowski (his Crocodile Dundee co-star) for fourteen years, and has sworn never to have another actress play his love interest onscreen.
Yep. Just think imagine how many sodomites they've help kill off! And they are proud of it too!
Dumb & pointless facts to know and tell...
Eeew. I was considering the Outback wagon for all the reasons you mentioned. (It is AWD not 4WD) But not after this article.
I have a huge BUSH CHENEY sticker on the back of it.
There are no cowboys within a couple of thousand miles of where I live, on the East Coast. But there are a lot of pretty blonde ladies d'un age certain driving monster F-350 V-8 diesel duallies to pull around their six- or eight-horse stock trailers. We don't do it to find husbands; most of us are realistic enough to have given up on finding anyone to marry us and have thrown ourselves into the world of horses as a substitute.
Warning: Always a bad idea to use the words "horses," "husbands" and "substitute" in the same sentence. Use of the word "dressage" in such instances is highly suggested.
It really has been a great car. I have put 70,000 miles on mine in the last three years and have not had a bit of trouble from it; it handles beautifully, with reflexes good enough to have saved my life on a couple of occasions; the engine is powerful and has very energetic acceleration; the gas mileage is excellent; the cargo capacity turns out to be greater than a Chevy Blazer or Ford Bronco. You cannot pull much with it. It has very high safety ratings. The ventilation system sucks. Lots of people who have Subarus drive them for a quarter of a million miles. And the competition--the Audi, Volvo, and Volkswagon wagons--cost in the low to mid thirties, about ten thousand dollars more. You have to decide whether it's worth ten thousand bucks to you to avoid having the neighbors suspect you're a secret liberal or lesbian.
I think I'll just get the Jeep.
Nah. This former dressage rider needs more adventure, danger, and excitement than the finest piaffe (or even capriole) can offer. Now I'm at a time in my life when I want to gallop across country and jump every stone wall in my path.
...you're on a brazen path that inevitably leads to barrel racing and cutting horses.
Full Disclosure: I've lived on the East Coast, Midwest, Deep South, and Desert Southwest. You are right, there is a relative shortage of cowboy-types out East.
Now I'm at a time in my life when I want to gallop across country and jump every stone wall in my path.
Have you considered Mountain Biking? ;-)
I'm from NYC. Could you explain that joke to me?
You don't drive much, do you...
(1991 VW Jetta Diesel - 317,000, 1997 VW Jetta TDI 289,000... both get significantly over 40mpg and still run strong... ;-)
Now please don't tell me that VW supports this drivel!
And to think we almost bought one a couple of years ago when we moved here, before we found out their reputation! Everyone I know here who drives one is a leftist!
Glad now my lady and I bought 2 Chevy Tahoes!!!
Tabbaco Chaw spit out the door's window. (I'm just giving Caprolie a heads up)
Thanks! I thought it had something to do with four-wheeling...
Its important to give credit where its due. So car buyers should know that Subaru takes its role as the most pro-homosexual car company very seriously.
lj will be gone from FR for a short while. I'm the volunteer until little jeremiah gets back online.
If you want on/off the list let me know.

Stain Glass Sythe Stone Somewhat Helpful
By Carolaine
from Dallas, TX
Comments about Stained Glass Scythe Stone:
The Stained Glass Sythe Stone arrived loose in a lightly padded envelope and was broken into two approximately equal pieces. I decided to keep it as the sizes of the pieces were easily useable. It is not very effective for smoothing the edges of cut glass. The amount of force and time needed to effect change in the glass edge makes the tool impractical as far as I am concerned.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post

No explanation was given for the break-up, but Waldoch gushed about a special bassist booked for the show--Milwaukeean Scott Schoenbeck, of The Promise Ring and Dashboard Confessional fame--and expressed gratitude to the band's supporters. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: Mmmm...paczki
Putting the fat in Fat Tuesday, paczki (pronounced POONCH-key) are so baaaad/so gooood Polish doughnuts, stuffed with glorious, gooey filling (such as prune, raspberry or bavarian cream), fried up for Fat Tuesday. (Lent's tomorrow; might as well indulge just a little bit.)
You'll be able to find paczki in grocery stores and bakeries about town, but the unofficial headquarters for paczki are National Bakery & Deli locations in Milwaukee (3200 S. 16th St.), Brookfield (13820 W. Greenfield Ave.) and Greendale (5637 Broad St.). The bakeries open up at 6:30 a.m., and over 30,000 paczki will be sold. But its best to get there early to be safe; accordion players, and fantasies about that first bite, will help you pass the time. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Archive for Dan Girardi
Why did the Rangers keep Dan Girardi over Anton Stralman?Posted by: | Comments
I received one question this week in the mailbag, and it was a doozy, so this entire post is dedicated to it. As always, email me if you have any questions, and I'll be sure to address each one.
BrooklynVic asks: Why did the Rangers keep Dan Girardi over Anton Stralman? How could our valuation of Stralman been so undervalued considering how he is playing now?
BV, this is a loaded question, to which we can break it down into several parts. Addressing the first part is the easy part: Keeping Girardi over Stralman had a lot to do with perceived value versus market value, and the writing was on the wall when Stralman rejected the Rangers offer of three years, $9 million. The Rangers valued him at $4 million, which is what Larry Brooks reported. That was $500,000 less than what he got from Tampa Bay over five years. The Rangers didn't want to go that long or that high.
Should the Rangers be worried about Dan Girardi and Marc Staal's form?Posted by: | Comments
With a few exceptions the Rangers have been abysmal in their own end for almost the entire season. Whether it's been the disruptions to the line up caused by the myriad of injuries or 'a lack of desperation' (says Rick Nash) or execution on any particular game night, it doesn't matter. The Rangers have not been good enough.
The Rangers play a bad Flyers team Wednesday night. However they play a team that is loaded with offensive talent and given the Rangers' struggles in their own end it is a game the Rangers could easily lose – particularly in their current state.
Consider the Rangers most senior blueliners for a moment. Dan Girardi is being paid like an elite defenseman. Marc Staal is expecting to be paid like an elite defenseman. Ryan McDonagh and Dan Boyle are being paid handsomely and even Kevin Klein is being paid better than most. Yet the Rangers defense has been appalling.
It's unfair to expect miracles from a Matt Hunwick or Mike Kostka. Even less can be reasonably expected of Conor Allen and Dylan McIlrath. However, a significant portion of the blame needs to lie at the feet of Girardi and Staal. Their play causes significant concern moving forward.
The need for the top-three to be betterPosted by: | Comments
Through the first seven games of the season, the Rangers have tread water with a 4-3 record. Considering the injuries to Derek Stepan and Dan Boyle, that's what most had hoped for. These are two significant injuries that compound the issue of significant roster turnover from last year. Those that have been with the club for a while need to be the anchors that hold the ship steady, and right now, the top three of Ryan McDonagh, Dan Girardi, and Marc Staal have been underwhelming.
The three of them combined have just five assists for the season. Defensive scoring is critical for successful teams, and while I don't expect this to be an on-going problem throughout the year, it has been a problem nonetheless. While offense is an issue, the more alarming issue is the defensive meltdowns that led to three straight losses where the team allowed 17 goals. Evan Sporer at Blueshirt Banter wrote a good piece about shot quality, and how the Rangers defense was allowing quality shots. I'm not going to re-hash it here, but you should check it out, it's a brilliant post.
Injury update: Klein on the ice, Girardi notPosted by: | Comments
After last night's game, both Dan Girardi and Kevin Klein were both in need of stitches. Girardi took a shot off the ankle that needed to be stitched up, and Klein took a puck to the chin. Klein returned to the ice today for practice, while Girardi did not. Girardi is day-to-day, and there's a chance he could miss tomorrow's game against the New Jersey Devils. However, Girardi is made from robot parts, so I expect him to play.
Ryan McDonagh named Rangers captainPosted by: | Comments
The Rangers have formally announced that Ryan McDonagh will be the 27th captain in New York Rangers history. The Rangers were without a captain following the trade of Ryan Callahan and the buyout of (more or less) acting captain Brad Richards. Naming McDonagh captain was the worst kept secret in the organization, as it was widely expected this summer.
Marc Staal, Dan Girardi, Martin St. Louis, and Derek Stepan will be the alternate captains.
Thank you Bob Gainey, Scott Gomez, and all those involved in the Gomez for McDonagh swap.
Rangers facing several more key personnel decisions again this seasonPosted by: | Comments
Prior to the start of the 2013-2014 season, few could have imagined that the Rangers would trade their heart and soul captain, Ryan Callahan, at the March 5 trade deadline. But such is life in the salary cap world – GM Glen Sather determined a contract number he wouldn't exceed for both Callahan and defenseman Dan Girardi. Girardi proved willing to negotiate within Sather's limits, Callahan did not, and he was stunningly traded for Martin St. Louis.
Why bring this up now? Because just as with last fall, the Rangers are about to open camp with a few mega contracts looming on the horizon. New York has a bit more financial wiggle room this time around, especially with the salary cap ceiling likely to increase, but there are still tough decisions to be made. So what lies ahead?
Who will be the captain? – Not all of the major personnel decisions are financial – who will be the next face of the Rangers is as important a decision as any. The logical candidates – Girardi, St. Louis, Marc Staal and Ryan McDonagh – all come with questions. Girardi's play dipped dramatically in the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs after he signed a six-year, $33 million contract, so it could be a risky move to give the 30-year-old blueliner this honor without knowing if he can maintain his previous level of play. St. Louis has just one year remaining on his contract and is 39 years old, so while he might be the perfect veteran leader right now, that could represent flawed short-term thinking. Like St. Louis, Staal has just one year left on his deal and faces an uncertain future with the organization. That all leads to McDonagh, who's certainly the unanimous choice among fans. It would be a major shock if he didn't receive the C, but that's also a lot to throw onto a 25-year-old who's still blossoming as a player.
Report card: DefensePosted by: | Comments
Dan Girardi – What a roller coaster year Girardi just completed. He looked totally lost at the beginning of the season (like several Blueshirts), but quickly turned around his game and played like his old self during the second-half. Management was convinced that Girardi's early-season hiccups were an anomaly and rewarded him with a six-year, $33 million contract, essentially choosing Girardi over captain Ryan Callahan. But Girardi again looked like a liability once the playoffs started, culminating in his train wreck performance (mixed with a healthy share of bad luck) during the Stanley Cup Final that left many fans calling for a trade. Girardi had no more than a dislocated finger during the playoffs, so his pylon-like play should raise eyebrows given the substantial financial commitment New York made to him just a few months prior. Nevertheless, Girardi has been a tremendous player for the Rangers during his eight-year career, and, just as Brad Richards did at the start of this year, Girardi seems likely to bounce-back from this most recent embarrassment in a big way. Grade: B-
Anton Stralman – For almost his entire tenure in blue, Stralman was the most underappreciated player on the team. But thanks to his particularly stellar play during the postseason and some gushing comments from talking heads and bloggers alike, Stralman is now viewed as a must-keep player by many fans. Advanced metrics make Stralman look like a true stud, but he's been a very good second-pairing defender, not necessarily a $5 million a year blueliner. Stralman contributes next to nothing offensively – though some argue that his possession metrics suggest he was a victim of bad luck and believe Stralman actually does far more to help the attack than his point total indicates. Stralman has certainly emerged as a very good defender, but he seems like a guy that was underrated for so long, he's now overrated. Grade: A-
Breakup day notes: Stralman, Boyle could be gonersPosted by: | Comments
Today was breakup day for the Rangers, and there were some interesting quotes from some of the players, and not all were good.
Dan Girardi suffered a broken pinkie in Game Two against the Kings, per Andrew Gross. I thought he was hurt, but I thought he was more banged up.
Anton Stralman said that his family and security are his primary concerns, per Seth Rothman. That sounds like someone who is looking for a big deal, and it may not come from the Rangers. As for Brian Boyle, Rothman also quoted Boyle saying he would like more responsibility. Boyle's role with the Rangers will continue to be the same, if he stays. Losing one or both of these guys would be a big blow to the Rangers.
Per Larry Brooks, Cam Talbot suffered a broken hand during warmups of Game Six against Montreal. Talbot, who relieved Hank in Game Five of the same series, did not participate in warmups or practices following the Eastern Conference Final. There were rumors that he was hurt during Game Five, which wouldn't have been surprising considering it was his first action in two months. It is assumed he will be good to go by next season.
One final note: Thomas Spelling, the Rangers 5th round pick in 2012, is now an unrestricted free agent. The Rangers decided to pass on signing him by the June 1 deadline. This isn't really surprising news, as he bounced around the Euro leagues following his draft year.
Lundqvist, Girardi and McDonagh the key to Rangers hopesPosted by: | Comments
It's a pretty obvious statement to make but the Rangers' top defensive pair of Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi are critical to the Rangers hopes of progressing to the Conference finals and beyond. Dan Girardi and, particularly Ryan McDonagh, have been inconsistent in this series but a dominant performance from both – in addition to the assumed performance from Henrik Lundqvist – would go a long way in helping the Rangers clinch in Pittsburgh tonight.
The Rangers live and die by their defensive core. McDonagh was a plus one and logged over 26 minutes in the emotional game six victory Sunday and had a goal and assist and almost 27 minutes of ice time in game five. The result? Two huge victories and another game seven for the Rangers to look forward to.
The Rangers are a much tougher proposition when their top pair are on their games and following an indifferent start to the playoffs, McDonagh's form is trending in the right direction. It has to continue tonight if the Rangers want success. This team can invest in as many offensive players as it wants but their success will always begin and end with players #30, #5 and #27.
New Girardi deal helps Rangers with organisational weaknessPosted by: | Comments
For several years the Rangers had a relatively steady flow of defensive prospects make it to the NHL through the system. Whether it was Michael Del Zotto, Marc Staal, Ryan McDonagh, Mike Sauer or Girardi himself, the Rangers were able to supplement the NHL roster with cost effective home grown talent. Recently, there have been concerns of the talent approaching the NHL level.
With the relatively slow progress made by Dylan McIlrath (who still has time on his side) and the unknown NHL projections of Brady Skjei and Calle Andersson, the Rangers don't have the ability to promote from within. Perhaps Conor Allen aside, there is very little that could step up in short notice.

Smith looked one way, then another, finding open receivers with such ease that the toughest part might've been deciding whose turn it was in the rotation.
Smith's new choices at wide receiver – veterans Randy Moss and Mario Manningham and first-round draft pick A.J. Jenkins – zipped all over the field during an OTA practice session this week, giving the eighth-year quarterback options he never had last season.
''It's like waking up on Christmas,'' Smith said. ''You have a lot of new toys out there, new presents.''
New expectations, too.
A year ago, the unproven 49ers quarterback was organizing informal offseason workouts at San Jose State during the NFL lockout – dubbed ''Camp Alex'' by teammates – and not even certain to be the starter.
That was then. This is now. Smith contributed to San Francisco's surprising turnaround season last year with the best season of his career, playing every significant snap and leading the Niners to their first NFC West championship since 2002.
Now, coming off a 13-3 regular season and an overtime loss away from the Super Bowl, the 49ers have loaded up on skill players around Smith to add more weapons to their offense.
Now, he also has a full offseason schedule to integrate the offense, something none of the 49ers had last year with the lockout.
''Alex has really been, in the two days out here, has been spreading the ball very well,'' coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday, the midpoint of three days of OTA sessions. ''He's got a lot of options. That's been evident, too, for two days. ''
Often outplayed and overshadowed by the NFL's best defense, Smith and the 49ers offense became an easy target for San Francisco's shortcomings in a 2011 season when the team didn't have many.
Smith ranked 19th in the NFL with a career-high 3,144 yards passing and struggled to find wide receivers in a 20-17 overtime loss in the NFC title game to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
One thing the 2005 No. 1 overall pick out of Utah no longer seems to lack: confidence.
''This is the honest truth: I could absolutely care less on yards per game,'' Smith said. ''I think that is a totally overblown stat because if you're losing games in the second half, guess what? You're like the Carolina Panthers and you're going no-huddle the entire second half and, yeah, Cam Newton threw for a lot of 300-yard games. That's great. You're not winning, though.''
Newton, the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, ranked 10th in the league with 4,051 yards passing last season. The Panthers finished with a 6-10 record.
From boos to a breakout season, not much else has really changed with Smith's status in San Francisco.
The 49ers flirted with free agent Peyton Manning – who ultimately chose Denver – until settling on Smith with a three-year, $24 million deal. Newcomer veteran Josh Johnson and 2011 second-round pick Colin Kaepernick also there, along with Scott Tolzien, the team's young No. 3 QB last season.
General manager Trent Baalke also signed former Giants receiver Manningham, drafted Jenkins out of Illinois and speedster LaMichael James of Oregon in the second round.
But no move made more splashes than signing the 35-year-old Moss to a one-year deal.
Moss again declined to talk to reporters but has been Smith's No. 1 target during the open portions of practice and, by all 49ers accounts, he has dazzled.
''It's neat to watch our players watch a guy like Randy that they've watched growing up,'' Harbaugh said. ''And we have two fields. The defensive field's on the far right and then the offensive field is over here on the left. And I can always see the defensive players will be looking over.''
To say the least, Harbaugh has been impressed so far by Moss, who has been known to go his own way previously in his illustrious but sometimes enigmatic career.
"Randy's a great target," Harbaugh said. "He's not a B.S.-er. He's rock solid. He's one of the fasted guys on our team when you put the watch on certain drills. We just couldn't be happier with him. Couldn't be any more happy with him."
Said Smith: ''The first day, it was surreal out there throwing balls to him. The physical skills everybody knows. The thing you appreciate a lot is the guy's a true pro. He's played a lot of football. He's incredibly smart out there.''
All the more reason the 49ers offense needs to make strides.
Smith showed incredible efficiency last season, tossing 17 touchdown passes to only five interceptions, and led two late touchdown drives in San Francisco's thrilling 36-32 division round playoff victory over Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
The problem that had been there all season – often masked in victories where the 49ers could build a lead, run the ball late and lean on their defense – was the team's inconsistent passing game. San Francisco finished 29th in the NFL in passing offense last season.
Stuck in long third downs all season, Smith relied so much on Vernon Davis and the other tight ends or running backs. The wide receiver corps disappeared in key sequences, most noticeably the NFC title game, when Crabtree's one catch for three yards was the only reception by a San Francisco wideout.
''We were so inconsistent when we had to throw the football,'' he said. ''Third-and-mediums, third-and-longs, we weren't very good. Red zone, we weren't good at times. We got to get better there.''
"With plenty of inviting new targets at his disposal, Smith and the Niners are off to a good start.
Target practice now more inviting for Smith

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Felix Hernandez had his mind made up that he would get the Seattle Mariners' season off to a strong start and provide a little bit of momentum on April 1. No arguing that. He delivered against the defending AL West champions. Hernandez struck out eight on opening day in his first start since signing a $175 million, seven-year contract in February, and the Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 2-0 on Monday night.

What: Shares of Crosstex Energy (Nasdaq: XTXI ) jumped 10% in intraday trading today after an analyst upgrade.
So what: Yesterday, Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS ) upgraded shares to overweight from market perform. It was also announced that Crosstex would join the Alerian MLP Index (AMEX: ^AMZ.A), replacing Duncan Energy Partners (NYSE: DEP ) .
Now what: Joining an index can cause a temporary pop for shares as funds following the index buy shares. But the bigger news today was the upgrade from Morgan Stanley, which has driven shares higher. I'm leery of buying on pops because of an analyst, especially from a company losing money every quarter.

Even though I should have been doing some reading for school, I decided to relax a bit by playing MvC2, easily one of the most addictive games, mostly due to the insane number of character combos and themes you can go by. At one time, I loved Iron Man, War Machine and Cable, then it was Sakura, Morrigan and Tron Bonne. Right now, I'm fighting with a mix of Cyclops, Psylocke, Storm, Capt. Commando [of course] and Felicia. I really wish a third version came out, but since Capcom no longer has rights to Marvel [or some kind of agreement] it won't likely happen any time soon. But, much like FF7 started me into RPG's, this has gotten me into trying out other fighting games, like the Alpha series and KOF as well. And, knowing me, I'll probably be playing again today...

Gannon women ranked in national Division II poll
- The Gannon women are ranked second in the USA Today Division II preseason Top 25 coaches' poll, which was released Tuesday.
The ranking is the highest mark the Golden Knights have opened the season with since 2009, when the team also opened the year as the No. 2 team in the nation.
Gannon returns 12 players and all five starters from last year's team that finished 31-5 en route to the second-most victories in school history. The Knights won the PSAC West and the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional before advancing to its second Elite Eight in the past four seasons.
