I did not finish this book. I left it out in the rain, possibly on purpose. This was my second attempt to like Updike. It will be my last.
This book is interesting & depressing all at the same time. Harry Angstrom, AKA Rabbit, is a washed up former star basketball player in a 2 bit mountain town in PA. He got his girlfriend, Janice, knocked up so they got married. Given that this story takes place in the I would guess early 1960's, I think that was the expected thing to do at the time. Anyway, she is now pregnant with their second child, they have a fight over her depression & drinking, & he leaves her for a former prostitute named Ruth. The adventures he has between these 2 women makes him a decidedly unlikable character, almost an anti-hero type.
The end of the book is unsatisfying because it leaves you hanging. Of course, since this book is the first of a series of 4, I guess Updike did it that way so it would draw you into the second book, just to see what happens between Rabbit & his 2 "families".
The first 40 pages or so of this book are probably the worst 40 pages I've read since Austerlitz, which was so bad that I couldn't be bothered finishing it. Never before or since in the history of English language literature, or at least since Euphues, has an author so irritably reached after effect for no good reason.
"The Norway maples exhale the smell of their sticky new buds and the broad living-room windows along Wilbur Street show beyond the silver patch of a television set the warm bulbs burning in kitchens, like fires at the backs of caves." Yes, this aptly likens modern living to pre-historic living. But trees do not exhale; what colour other than silver would a television set be in the '50s?; what sort of a bulb (or anything else, for that matter) burns any way other than warmly?
"He had wondered what he was doing. But now these reflexes, shallowly scratched, are spent, and deeper instincts flood forward, telling him he is right. He feels freedom like oxygen everywhere around him... he adjusts his necktie with infinite attention, as if the little lines of this juncture of the Windsor knot, the collar of Tothero's shirt, and the base of his own throat were the arms of a star that will, when he is finished, extend outward to the rim of the universe. He is the Dalai Lama." Yes, this is faintly satirical. Yes, it's meant to show us the stupidity of Rabbit, and it does. But on the way it shows the incompetence of the narrator. What sort of a scratch is otherwise than shallow? Who 'feels' oxygen around them (air, maybe, but not unless it's particularly windy)? And clearly the simile at the end is *not* in Rabbit's head, so we can only blame Updike for seeing the universe in a tie-knot. Don't even get me started on the gobsmackingly ugly use of alliteration and assonance: scratched are spent; flood forward; feels freedom; infinite attention; little lines; will when he is finished; extend outward. That's in *half a paragraph*. And approximately 50% of the book is written in this 'style.'
And you'll be able to find your own examples, too. Here are some brief ones at random from page 86: "three long nicks, here, scratched in the wall, parallel". *Long* nicks? "the pork chops... cold as death, riding congealed grease" riding to where? what's wrong with 'sitting on'? "he takes clean Jockey pants, T-shirts and socks from a drawer" Do *you* keep your dirty underwear in your drawers? "the furniture, carpeting, wallpaper all seem darkly glazed with the murk filming his own face" Would they be transparently glazed with murk?
Thankfully, in the other half, when Updike isn't meditating his way into ecstasy over misplaced adjectives, excessive adjectives, superfluous adverbs, reified adjectives, and pointless, uninformative lists ("on the bureau there is a square glass ashtray and a pair of fingernail scissors and a spool of white thread and a needle and some hairpins and a telephone book and a Baby Ben with luminous members and a recipe she never used torn from a magazine and a necklace made of sandalwood beads carved in Java he got her for Christmas") characters actually speak to each other and display the characteristics we generally associate with human beings.
This is all the more difficult for me to cope with because the moral of the story - running away from your responsibilities is an awful thing to do and will have terrible consequences on those who care for you, and even those who don't really - needs to be said in novels more often than it is by good writers these days (and by 'these days' I mean the twentieth century). But it has to be said better than this, for goodness' sake. I really hope Rabbit, Redux has less rapture over the everyday. Please. Please.
I'll come right out and say it - I rarely read general or literary fiction. I'm clearly into science fiction and fantasy. I only picked up the first of John Updike's Rabbit books because I was thoroughly intrigued after hearing this title was challenged or banned in some areas.
I was pretty amazed. Unlike many books, this is written in present tense rather than past tense. It actually works here. The story revolves around Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a former high school basketball star now living a daily existence as part of the rat race. But he finds it hard to do after dreaming of his glory days.
It's quite a tantalizing read that is hard to put down. There's sexual content here, but it's not gratuitous and adds to the tension in the text.
There are hundreds upon hundreds of classic literature novels I need to read, and the reaction I most hate to have when I read them is ambivalence. If they're amazing, all's good; if they suck then I can just rant about them and decry their status as icons. When you read the magnum opus of a man considered to be one of the 20th century's greatest writers and your reaction is "Yeah, it was pretty good, I guess," it's not easy to review.
Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom is a 26-year-old husband, father to a toddler, with another baby on the way. In high school he was a basketball star, a hero, but you get the impression that the big fish in the little pond wasn't quite talented enough to make it elsewhere, which is why he's still stuck in his hometown in Pennsylvania working as a kitchen implement salesman. One night his growing anxiety and dissatisfaction with his life reaches breaking point, and he gets in his car and drives away. He finds himself drawn back, though, and the novel covers the next few months of his life as he deals with the consequences of his actions.
I knew before reading this that Rabbit is widely considered one of the most unlikeable protagonists in fiction, and I have to say, I don't see why. He's certainly not likeable – he can be self-centred, obnoxious, narcissistic and demanding, not to mention the cowardice of abandoning his wife and child. But the entire point of the book is about human flaws, particularly the flaws of youth – feeling trapped, knowing there could be more out there, wanting to avoid responsibility and run away (though I did find it odd that Rabbit immediately shacks up with another woman). So while he's not likeable, I didn't find him unlikeable, either, and I certainly found him sympathetic. I'm actually hard-pressed to think of a fictional protagonist I 100% dislike – or a real-life person, for that matter. Maybe I'm a nice person. Or maybe I'm easily influenced and will throw my sympathies behind whoever the narrator happens to be. David Lurie in J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace is also, apparently, a widely disliked figure, but I had no problem sympathising with him. Maybe I'm more capable of analysing a character's actions and sympathising with their motives than other readers; maybe I'm mature enough to understand why people do things without necessarily condoning them. Or maybe that's a very condescending thing to say and I'm a narcissist like Rabbit. Who knows? What a world!
Rabbit, Run also feels like a happier book than it should be. Some terrible, terrible things occur – above and beyond what Rabbit does at the beginning – yet Updike's prose has a way of making every single thing in the universe seem beautiful, from the trees to the flowers down to the clock ticking in a waiting room at a hospital. You know how sometimes you go through your day and feel blah, and other times you're walking down the street and every puddle, street sign and strange odour seems wonderful and make you happy to be alive? Updike writes a world of the latter, even if it does send him into purple prose territory at times.
I wasn't blown away by Rabbit, Run the way I was hoping to be, but I did appreciate it and I do think it's a strong novel that deserves its place in the canon. I'll be reading Rabbit Redux down the track.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0449911659, Paperback)Rabbit, Run is the book that established John Updike as one of the major American novelists of his—or any other—generation. Its hero is Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a onetime high-school basketball star who on an impulse deserts his wife and son. He is twenty-six years old, a man-child caught in a struggle between instinct and thought, self and society, sexual gratification and family duty—even, in a sense, human hard-heartedness and divine Grace. Though his flight from home traces a zigzag of evasion, he holds to the faith that he is on the right path, an invisible line toward his own salvation as straight as a ruler's edge.

Tired of the responsibility of married life, Rabbit Angstrom leaves his wife and home.

I agree. :/
I just finished City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare.
I feel this was that book within a series that explains a lot, and I thought it was rather slow for a good two-thirds of it. I felt there was a lot of relationship development between the characters. And I started to forget why I loved Jace so much, up until the end of the book. On the other hand, my love for Simon grew while reading this book.
That last third or so of the book was awesome, though. XD I don't know how many times I squealed or jumped up. I really enjoyed reading this ending. I can't wait for the next one. ^-^
I felt the same way about the first 2/3 of the book. I thought that it was because I was so busy with work, but the fact of the matter was that it WAS a bit slow. It really did pick up towards the end. Have you read the Infernal Devices series too? I'm really looking forward to the final book coming out too. :)
I'm reading like 10 books right now, honestly. But the one I'm working on the most is The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. It's just a reread for me, but I honestly love this book.
Believe it or not, I'm reading nothing right now. I'm waiting for Rapture to get here, which is Lauren Kate's final book in the Fallen series. Sort of happy that it's ending because the last two books were a disappointment.
When I started this series I had no idea that it would be such a disappointment. I haven't even read Passion yet. If Rapture turns out to be good let me know, then I'll dust off Passion and read it.
I'm about halfway through it and unfortunately, I'm finding that it's turning out to be quite slow. Grrrrrr...
Ah, so alas this series is going to be left unread.
Finished it. It was...m'eh.
Just saw your rating and review on goodreads. I have many other good books waiting for me so this is a no-go.
I'm reading The Hunger Games for the first time! I'm really excited. I'm only on page 20 of the first book lol.
You're gonna love it!

Jagr to Red Wings? Let the trade rumors commence!
The hockey season has officially ended and the rumors of signings are already flying around. NHLHS Correspondent Christina Roberts gives her take on the discussions of Jaromir Jagr coming to Detroit.
It's officially the off-season, which means it's officially time to start the crazy rumors of big name players signing with teams that don't always make the most sense. Example: Marian Hossa signing a one-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings. How much crazier can you get? Oh wait…
Ever since Jaromir Jagr had a hat trick in the 2011 World Championships, the rumors have been flying around about Jagr coming back to the NHL and which teams were attempting to pursue him, the main ones including his ex-teams, the New York Rangers and the Pittsburgh Penguins, along with the Montreal Canadiens.
But now it's been reported that Jagr's agent has reached out and contacted the Red Wings. All Ken Holland has said in response is that yes, he has been contacted and is exploring the idea. He wouldn't be Ken Holland if he said anything more.
By this point, I don't need to tell you the draws of Detroit and how many veterans have gotten a first, second, third chance to make it to the Stanley Cup and taken that "Detroit discount" to play here (Dallas Drake, Mike Modano to name a few recent ones). Is Jagr this year's Modano, with the "media circus" following his moves and the pursuing teams during the off-season?
The question really is: Is signing the 39-year-old who hasn't played in the NHL since the 2007-2008 season worth it for the Red Wings?
The comment has been made in past seasons that Detroit's roster needs to get younger, not older, and signing these veterans doesn't really help that. But when they come to the team, more often than not, they do produce. Before Modano went out last season with the fluke wrist injury, he had seven points in as many games and was finally finding his groove with the team.
Jagr could easily do the same thing. In his 82 games with the Rangers back in the 2007-2008 season, he had 25 goals and 71 points. Even in the KHL, he was almost a point-per-game player, which is pretty good considering his age. Jagr is also known for being able to hold onto the puck; he would fit well onto the puck possession-focused Red Wings team. Just imagine him on a third line with Jiri Hudler and Darren Helm. Or Justin Abdelkader and Valtteri Filppula.
But there are drawbacks, as there are with any player. Of course, he hasn't played in an NHL game since 2008, so his pretty good offensive numbers could have easily slipped. And, of course, his age is a factor. Jagr is no Nicklas Lidstrom (heck, no one is Lidstrom) and it's tough to say whether his age will catch up to him at any point in the season. Are these factors enough of a risk to prevent a one-year deal?
If the Red Wings can get him for fairly cheap and know he can produce offensively and be an asset for this team, I think it would be a smart signing. Then again, it's all up to Holland and the coaching staff.

But Roach, Matheson and the Environmental Policy Center argued the effort harmed the planet and wasted money. They essentially said the technologies didn't exist to produce such energy on a commercial scale. They were major players in a three-year campaign, which culminated Dec. 18, 1985, when President Ronald Reagan agreed the corporation was a failure and Congress pulled funding.
"We succeeded," Matheson said. "And how often does Congress vote to eliminate an entity?"

Gov. Matheson may have helped his son get the job, but he wasn't happy with the result. He, along with Sen. Jake Garn, R-Utah, supported the Synthetic Fuels Corp. and had lined up a $184.3 million federal loan guarantee for the Seep Ridge oil shale project. The corporation canceled a meeting to approve the Utah project the day after Congress yanked its funding.
"The governor was doing his job and Jim was doing his, and Jim won," Dunlap said. "His father had to respect that."
Jim Matheson said: "We clearly talked about the issues, but he didn't agree with what I was doing. I think history has borne out that I was right."
There has never been a commercially viable oil shale project in Utah, though there are exploratory attempts — some in the same Seep Ridge area in the Uinta Basin. Matheson said he supports oil shale as long as it is commercially feasible without government subsidies.
The pursuit of love » Dunlap remembers Jim Matheson as unflappable and always armed "with an easy smile."
"He was really handsome, but it was so funny because he was modest about it," she said, recalling how he would blush when women in the office would flirt.
"Somehow he had his eye on someone else," said Dunlap's husband, Joe Browder.
That someone was Amy Herbener.
Matheson met her while in college, when he participated in a group blind date organized by women from nearby Wellesley College. They liked each other, but their flirtations didn't turn into a serious relationship until Herbener took a job with an environmental consulting firm in Washington and tracked down Matheson.
"She found me at my brother's house," he said.
Their romance may never have developed if he had written that law school essay, but like the relationships of many driven couples, once together, they had to endure some time apart when their career goals diverged.
In 1984, Matheson took a leave of absence from the Environmental Policy Center to return to Utah and run the gubernatorial campaign of Rep. Wayne Owens, a close family friend. Owens' bid to succeed Scott Matheson in the governor's mansion failed when he lost convincingly to Republican Norm Bangerter.
Matheson enjoyed the managerial aspects of the campaign and his lobbying efforts, so he decided to pursue a business degree at the University of California-Los Angeles. Herbener would follow a year later after winning a transfer from the consulting firm. They would marry in 1991.
The Bonneville blow up » Armed with a master's degree, Matheson re-entered the job hunt in 1987, looking to leave California. He caught on at Bonneville Pacific, a high-profile private energy company in Utah that was creating a buzz in the business world. His father was a board member at Bonneville, but it is unclear if he was in this post when his son was hired.
At Bonneville, Jim Matheson's job was to develop cogeneration projects, which essentially generate electricity and useful heat, making plants and factories more efficient.
He had some success with gypsum plants in Las Vegas, but then the company imploded in a fraud investigation that resulted in prison terms for top executives.
The scandal hit at an emotional time for Matheson. His father died of cancer the year before and he was planning his wedding. He was laid off in 1991 when the company went bankrupt.Next Page >

Resurrecting the Wealth Effect on Consumption: Further Analysis and Extension
AbstractThis paper investigates whether various components of wealth affect real consumption asymmetrically through a threshold adjustment model. The empirical findings for the U.S. show that only stock market assets, financial assets including stock market assets, and household net assets exert a practical wealth effect on consumption expenditure. By contrast, financial assets excluding stock market assets, tangible assets, total assets, and the Lettau-Ludvigson measure of net assets do not exert a practical wealth effect on consumption expenditure. In addition, the empirical findings favor the presence of an asymmetric effect on real consumption for the former cases, with negative 'news' affecting consumption less than positive 'news'.

For Immediate release:Majority Caucus Louisville Metro CouncilContact Tony Hyatt: 574-4137/ 526-3622
Working together, Councilwomen Vicki Aubrey Welch (D) 13 and Madonna Flood (D) 24 will host a special event for senior citizens that will help keep them healthy and save money at the same time.
"We are fortunate to offer not only help to senior citizens with the MSD bill and if they like we can get them a flu shot before the cold weather sets in," says Welch. "Now is the time to start thinking about prevention since we have had a change in the weather."
On Tuesday, October 16th, Welch and Flood will sponsor a workshop to allow seniors in their districts the chance to apply for a rate discount from MSD on the storm sewer bill.
At the same time, flu shots will be offered by the Fairdale Ministries and the Visiting Nurses Association.
"We love bringing the MSD discount to the qualifying seniors of Districts 24 and 13. Vicki and I want to help folks with limited incomes take the opportunity to file this paperwork," says Flood. "And the flu shot, although it is highly recommended for seniors, is open to anyone. We are trying to make both opportunities as convenient for our constituents as possible"
The MSD workshop is from 9:00am to 3:00pm for applicants 65 years of age or older with a household income of $25,000 or less per year. They must bring one document from each of the following categories: IRS Tax return & schedule (filed within the last 12 months) or Social Security Form SSA; Deed or Lease Agreement; Drivers License or Birth Certificate and a copy of their water bill.
The Flu shots will be held from 9:00am to 12:00pm. Here is what will be offered: Flu shot $30/ Pneumonia shot $40.
The Playtorium is located at 10616 W. Manslick Rd.
For more information on the flu shots, call the Fairdale Area Community Ministries at 367-9519. For more information about the MSD Rate discount, call the offices of either Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch at 574-1113 or Councilwoman Madonna Flood at 574-1124.

The Minnesota Vikings have a long tradition of having very good defensive tackles. They drafted Sharrif Floyd in the first round of the 2013 draft in hopes that he can continue the trend. He learned a lot of from former teammate Kevin Williams and slimmed down in the offseason to reach his full potential. This season should be the beginning of the Floyd era in Minnesota.

Good looking piece of junk
Attractive Design
Best Uses
This unit has consistently filled the crisper drawers, as well as the area beneath the drawers, with condensation. The factory offers no help, and the only suggested repairs are temporary. This is a design flaw, and is inexcusable in a product like this. After putting up with this issue, ruined food, uneven cooling, more ruined food, as well as a whole lot of ruined food, i am selling it cheap and replacing it with one that works.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
I would recommend
Attractive Design
Easy Access
Energy Efficient
Holds Temperature Well
Limited Shelving Options
Best Uses
Large Kitchens
This fridge replaced a very old fridge that came with the house I bought. I did a lot of research before i purchased and I have to say it paid off. I couldn't be happier. This is everything I had hoped for and more. Works perfectly, lots of space, love the design. I did not want a fridge with water on the door and I found it!!
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Samsung French Door Refrigerators
Bad Icemaker
Flawed Design With No Fix
Ices Up
Best Uses
We purchased this product after reading consumer reports. Problems within the first 3 months with the ice maker. The refrigerator ices up and must be unplugged for 48 hours to defrost. Food is not kept at a safe temperature and there is NO fix for it as it is a design flaw! Local service techs will not work on it because they know it cannot be fixed.
Went to consumeraffairs.com and read that this problem happens to everyone and Samsung will not address the issue!
We have had this Samsung for less than two years and spent $1,200 for it on sale at Sears.
This refrigerator serves the same purpose in our home as does our 1898 Steinway that none of us knows how to play, but it does look nice!
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Melanie Circle
Melanie was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She earned a Bachelor of
Arts from New York State University, studying in England, Spain,
Guatemala and Colombia. She has lived in the rural Cowichan
Valley of Vancouver Island for over 25 years. Although basically a
self-taught artist, she attended the Metchosin Summer School of the
Arts where she studied with Jack Wise. Her studies, work and travel
have taken her through many parts of Latin America, Europe,
Morocco, Israel, China and India. Most recently, she walked the
Camino de Santiago in northern Spain and worked as an election
observer in El Salvador, the United States and Ukraine. All of these
explorations inform her work.
Whether the emerging subject is recognizable as people, flowers or
landscape, or is purely abstract, her paintings in gouache and oils
are alive with colour and movement. While her monoprints and
lithographs are lively ventures into the unknown, her drypoints tend to
explore more lyrical line and tone. Delicate line and bold colour
combine to form her mandalas.
In the past several years, Melanie has participated in twelve
Canadian group shows. She has had five one-woman exhibitions
since 1995. Her work can be found in private collections in Canada,
the United States, Argentina, Belize, England, India, Israel and
Melanie offers
Art Exploration Workshops
that provide others the
opportunity to experience the healing aspects of making art. She
has given workshops at the Canadian Congress of
Gather the
as part of Hospice training, at private and public schools,
and in her studio. She will be teaching at the Haliburton School of
the Arts where she previously graduated from their post-graduate
Expressive Arts Program.

WebMD The Magazine - Feature
Jane Harrison-Hohner, RN, RNP
Reviewed by
Laura J. Martin, MD
In every issue of WebMD the Magazine, we ask experts to answer readers' questions about a wide range of topics. In our March-April 2011 issue, Jane Harrison-Hohner, RN, RNP, a WebMD Women's Health Expert, responded to a reader's question about the pros and cons of getting her tubes tied.
Q: I've had two children and I don't want any more. I'm thinking about getting my tubes tied, but what are the risks?
A: The term "tubes tied" refers to a bilateral tubal ligation (BTL), when a woman's Fallopian tubes are severed and sealed to prevent her eggs from becoming fertilized. BTLs can be done several different ways, including using clips, rings, sutures, and cauterization to seal the tubes shut.
The physical side effects of getting your tubes tied are usually minimal. Recovery from the surgery is relatively quick, and studies show most women don't have any changes afterward in menstruation, sexual function, or moods. There is a slight risk of pregnancy after having a BTL -- about 1.8% -- and if you do get pregnant, there's a 30% chance of it being ectopic (when the fertilized egg lodges in the Fallopian tube). But in general, this is a safe procedure.
Patients often ask me if it's possible to have a BTL reversed. It is, but the procedure is fairly expensive (between $1,500 and $6,500), and it's rarely covered by insurance. There's also no guarantee that you'll get pregnant. Studies indicate that women are able to conceive after the procedure only about 55% of the time.
So it's best to think of a BTL as permanent birth control.

One of the most widely used marketing strategies to motivate the consumer is known as WIIFM which means "What's In It For Me?" This has been used as a primary means for persuasion in the marketing industry for decades and under the presumption that people are motivated when they understand what personal benefits are to be gained from doing business with you.
So, when it comes to creating email subject lines how do you get your headings to answer WIIFM? The answer to this lies in achieving a balance when writing email subject lines. This takes practice and getting to know the likes and dislikes of your audience. Here's why:
Overdone WIIFM Subject Lines Can Send a Blatant Message
Although you may be interested in serving your customers well and you know that they are wondering about WIIFM when they choose to do business with you, if you cross the line it will make them wonder what your motives really are. For example, if you try to hard to be persuasive in your subject line it will not come across as genuine. A subject line like, "I Can Help You Make 1 Million Dollars in 24 Hours" may convey to the recipient what is in it for them but it seems so unrealistic that it does not come across as authentic.
7 Tips to Boost Your Business Using Keywords
An online business without keywords is like an automobile without wheels….it doesn't go anywhere. People use keywords to search for what they are looking for online regardless of the topic. The Internet is a vehicle for seeking information and keywords are the means of arriving at your destination.

Take the time to do keyword research because it will help you to build long term sustainability for your business. Here are 7 key tips to boost your business using keywords:

Test Drive: A sweet Pete
Peterbilt's new 386 is a classy new aerodynamic.
The Peterbilt plant in Denton, Texas, was just a few miles behind me, and I had the white Peterbilt 386 headed southbound on I-35W just north of Ft. Worth.
The highway looked inviting, but I jumped off at exit 65 and headed for a Pilot truckstop, partly because even test drivers need log books but mostly to give the 386 a maneuverability test.
I'd been in the truck less than 30 minutes and was unfamiliar with its handling characteristics. I backed into a parking space without incident: testimony to the 386′s ease of handling and, with a 50-degree wheel cut, tightened-up turning radius. I drove in circles, figure eights and lock-to-lock "S" patterns – some performed quickly like, say, by a driver in a hurry to pull in, park and make a pit stop – and did not draw comment on the CB. The 386, hooked to a 53-foot trailer and about a ton shy of 80,000 pounds, handled positively: no surprise cab rocking or over/under steer.
Maneuverability test completed and updated log book in hand, I once again headed south on I-35W. The 475-horsepower Caterpillar C-15 ACERT engine provided more than adequate power. A Fuller 9-speed transmission and Dana 3.55 rears completed the powertrain.
Traffic was moderate. The weather was clear and dry. The 386 uneventfully rolled through Ft. Worth in moderate traffic, and we headed south toward Waco.
The Model 386 joins Model 387 in Peterbilt's selection of Class 8, on-highway, aerodynamic trucks.
"The Model 386 was developed to impact a customer's bottom line through improved fuel economy, increased driver productivity, greater resale value and as a tool for attracting and retaining drivers," says Dan Sobic, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. "It's an important addition to our 2006 model lineup and provides our customers with another premium choice for fulfilling their operational and business needs."
The legendary 379 is and will remain Peterbilt's flagship. The 386, however, comes in response to market demand for increased value and efficiency.
For example, the 386′s versatility answers to a variety of applications. Configured with Peterbilt's Unibilt sleeper, it's suited for regional or long-haul work. But the sleeper can be detached to reconfigure for daycab or vocational duties, increasing resale value.
As well, the 386 comes with Peterbilt's custom engineering and proven durability, and that means more miles per dollar over the long term.
But the 386 speaks primarily to fuel efficiency that, as diesel fuel prices flirt with $3 a gallon, keeps step with industry needs. Peterbilt performed numerous lengthy tests using computational fluid dynamics and wind tunnels to find the most aerodynamically efficient design. The truck's contoured sun visor, which comes with an upper "Gurney" ridge similar to those on NASCAR fairings, was selected after Peterbilt engineers tested 80 possible designs. This along with the side chassis fairings, dramatically sloped hood, integrated headlamps, swept-back fenders and form-fitted bumper, increase aerodynamic efficiency by 10 percent over the model 385-120, which Peterbilt says translates to a .3 miles per gallon increase in fuel economy.
Inside, the 386 effectively combines functionality and style. Three interior design packages – ProBilt, Prestige, and Platinum – are available. The test drive's Prestige package features a one-piece dashboard for reduced vibration buzzing, wood finish and easy-to-read gauges backlit by longer-lasting light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Peterbilt selected dash materials and components commonly used in luxury automobiles.
Behind the dash, Peterbilt introduces "multiplexed electronic technology," which uses a single wire for all lighting and instruments. This means more efficient performance, easier servicing and a lot less wire. From the driver's seat, dash panel controls are easy to reach and well-marked, and a full, one-liter water bottle did not tip out of the beverage holder even on rough roads. Overhead compartments offer secure yet easily accessible storage, and visibility is very good, especially with the sloped hood.

Do You Do THIS With Your Dog??
A study has found that one in five Americans will show their pets some love on Valentine's Day.
In fact, Americans reportedly spend $815 million on Valentine's Day goodies for their pets.
In another survey (by the American Pet Products Association), pet owners have treated fish, horses and "small animals" to Valentine's Day gifts.
It may sound strange to some, but to loving pet owners, these animals are invaluable companions and it makes those owners "feel good" to coddle them.
Valentine gifts include heart-shaped dog treats, heart-dotted cat collars and pet clothing with the logo, "Be Mine," featured on them.

If they're talking about the quest chain I think they're talking about. I still have nightmares from that. And on some of my toons, that was terrible to attempt to solo.
My biggest gripe with that quest chain is how if you die, whether it be from a gank, or mob, your meter resets.
The Elemental Bonds questline is not hard, as long as you're mindful to not AoE and aggro multiple mobs. The elementals are all passive, and the non-elites are easy to kill.
I recently did the questline solo on a freshly-dinged rogue. It takes some time to kill enough elementals (10 I believe) to complete each progress bar. But I was not in any risk of dying because I did single target attacks and avoided the elites.
I forgot to say, admittedly, it was a nightmare back during the initial chaotic rush, before I learned to not AoE, partly because of the elite mobs, but mostly because it flagged me as PvP when hitting flagged enemy players, and I was not on a PvP-specced/geared toon.

The idea for this plugin came from the wonderfull Hebrew Date-plugin by KosherJava. Unfortunately, that plugin didn't have the possibility to display the current date in Hebrew on a sidebar.
So, I made a (very) simple plugin that does just that: show the current date in de sidebar, in fonetic Hebrew.
For more info, go the official plugin-page.
