The Vancouver Canucks joined the NHL for the 1970-1971 season along with the Buffalo Sabres. The team played its first NHL game on October 9th 1970 losing to the Los Angeles Kings. The team recorded its first win on October 11th when the Canucks beat the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The first years of the team were difficult and the Canucks struggled to find any success. The team finished its debut season in sixth place of the Eastern Division. The following year the Canucks finished last in the league with a record of 20-58-8.
The Canucks finally found some success in the 1974-1975 season after the NHL was divided into divisions. The Vancouver Canucks won the Smythe Division but their playoff run was short-lived since the team lost to the Montreal Canadiens in five games.
At the turn of the decade the Canucks returned to the playoffs after disappointing seasons in 1976-1977 and 1977-1978. In the 1978-1979 season Ron Sedlbauer became the first player in Canucks history to score 40 goals and a year later Stan Smyl lead the team in scoring with 31 goals while also recording 47 assists. The team still didn't pass the first round of the playoffs since the Buffalo Sabres eliminated the Canucks in four games.
In 1982 Canucks coach Harry Neale was involved in a brawl with a fan and suspended for the playoffs. Charismatic assistant coach Roger Neilson became the acting head coach and led the team all the way to its first Stanley Cup Final against the New York Islanders. The Canucks battled hard for a win in the first game but Mike Bossy's overtime goal gave the Islanders a 6-5 win. The Islanders went on to sweep the series.
Following its first appearance in the Final, the Canucks entered another set of disappointing years. In 1991 Smyl retired and the Canucks needed a new star, so the club acquired Russian Pavel Bure. The skilled forward, nicknamed "The Russian Rocket" scored 34 goals in his rookie season and went on to win the Calder Trophy. The Canucks finished first place and entered the first playoff round against the Winnipeg Jets. The Canucks were down 1-3 in the series before a strong comeback with three consecutive wins to win the series 4 games to 3. The Edmonton Oilers, however, eliminated the Canucks in the 2nd round.
In the 1992-1993 season Bure became the first Canuck to reach the 50 goal and 100 point mark with a total of 60 goals and 50 assists. The Canucks won their second straight division title and also recorded an 18-game unbeaten streak at home. The team's playoff run ended in the division finals as the Los Angeles Kings eliminated the Canucks in six games.
The 1993-1994 season turned out to be one of the greatest in Canucks history. The Canucks finished 2nd in the Pacific Division but had a difficult start in the playoffs. The team was down 1-3 to the Calgary Flames but eventually came back to eliminate the Flames in seven games. In the 2nd round of the playoffs the Canucks eliminated the Dallas Stars in five games and reached the Western Conference Finals against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Canucks were lead by goalie Kirk McLean, who posted two shutouts and the club advanced to the Stanley Cup Final in six games. In the Final the Canucks faced the New York Rangers, who were the clear favourites looking to break their "40-year curse". The Canucks managed to extend the series into Game 7, but the Rangers eventually won the Stanley Cup with a 3-2 win in the decisive game.
After their 2nd Stanley Cup Final appearance the Canucks returned to the bottom of the table, and their darker years culminated before the turn of the millenium. In 1996-1997 the Canucks missed the playoffs for the first time in seven years before finishing in last place in the next two seasons.
In the 1999-2000 season the Canucks started to reshape the team. Head European scout Thomas Gradin convinced General Manager Brian Burke to draft Swedish twins Henrik (#3)and Daniel Sedin (#2), who became the core of the team in the 2000s. Markus Näslund became the team's captain and formed a strong offensive duo with Todd Bertuzzi .
In 2002-2003 the Canucks enjoyed the best season in franchise history. The team entered the playoffs with a record of 45-23-13-1 and won in the first round against the St. Louis Blues after coming back from a 1-3 deficit. In the 2nd round the Canucks faced the Minnesota Wild. The team already had a 3-1 lead but suffered heavy losses in the next two games losing with a combined score of 3-12. In Game 7 the Canucks had a 2-0 lead in the second period but the Wild came back scoring three goals in the final 12 minutes and eliminated the Canucks.
The Canucks remained one of the top teams of the Western Conference in the coming seasons but failed to find success. In the 2005-2006 season the Canucks again started to rebuild their roster starting with head coach Marc Crawford, who was replaced by Alain Vigneault.
The team started the 2006-2007 season with a fresh look after making several changes to the roster, including the signing of goalie Roberto Luongo . The Canucks had issues with goal scoring but improved in the second half of the season. The team finished strong and won the Northwest Division with a franchise record of 49-26-7, while Luongo becoming a finalist for the Vezina and Hart Trophies. The team struggled in the first round of the playoffs with Luongo giving up four goals in Game One. In Game 2 Luongo once again carried the team facing a playoff record of 76 shots. The game went into quadruple overtime before Henrik Sedin scored the winning goal finishing the 6th longest game in NHL playoff history. The Canucks eventually took a 3-1 lead in the series but a Dallas Stars comeback took the series to Game Seven, which the Canucks managed to win and advanced to the 2nd round. In the 2nd round the Canucks faced the Anaheim Ducks, who won the series four games to one.
The following season the Canucks missed the playoffs by three points winning only one of their final 8 games. However, the disappointing finish was overshadowed by the passing of young defenseman Luc Bourdon .
For the 2008-2009 season the Canucks lost Trevor Linden , who retired after 17 years with the team, and Näslund, who signed with the New York Rangers. The Canucks named Luongo their new captain, and the Canadian became the first goalie to be named captain since Bill Durnan in 1947. The Canucks started strong with a 12-6-2 record in their first 20 games before losing Luongo to an injury. The team's performance dropped until a new rise in the latter half of the season and eventually winning the Northwest Division. In the playoffs the Canucks first swept the 1st round series over the St. Louis Blues before losing to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games.
The next season didn't start well as the Canucks split their first twenty games and Luongo was out of action due to an injury. Once Luongo returned, the Canucks were back in form winning 17 of the next 24 games. Vancouver hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics and the Canucks had to go on a record-breaking 14-game road trip for six weeks. The Canucks finished the season with a 49-28-5 record and Northwest Division champions, and Henrik Sedin became the first Canuck to win the Art Ross and Hart Trophies. The Canucks started their playoff run against the Los Angeles Kings and won the series in six games. They didn't make past the second round, however, as for the second year in a row the Chicago Blackhawks eliminated the Canucks four games to two.
A year later the Canucks returned to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in the team's history. The Canucks had a strong team with a deep roster and General Manager Mike Gillis had made good moves in the pre-season and during the season acquiring players like Manny Malhotra , who was the 2nd best in faceoffs in the NHL before suffering a serious eye injury. Malhotra eventually returned after months of recovery with a full-face mask to face the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup Final. In the regular season Daniel Sedin had followed his brother by winning the Art Ross Trophy and the Canucks were one of the biggest favourites in the playoffs.
The team started against the Blackhawks, who had eliminated them in the last two years. After losing a 3-0 lead in the series, Alexandre Burrows won the series for the Canucks with an overtime goal in Game 7. In the second round the Canucks faced the Nashville Predators. Luongo became one of the key players of the series, facing another Vezina finalist, Pekka Rinne . Ryan Kesler was the team's leading scorer against the Predators and the Canucks won the series in six games. In the Western Conference Final the Canucks were challenged by the San Jose Sharks. The Sedin twins found their form and recorded 18 points in the five games the Canucks needed to win the series. The Final series turned out to be filled with home wins until Game 7, which the Bruins won 4-0 to win the Stanley Cup.

Clarity is the measure of how clearly a diamond is able to allow light to pass through it, reflect off of it, and refract within it. This light quality is determined by a number of factors, one of which is the level of flaws, both internal and external. The internal flaws are referred to as inclusions, and the external flaws are known as blemishes with inclusions more often being the more detrimental of the flaws.
All diamonds contain features, or flaws, such as mineral inclusions and fractures, and most flaws can be so slight as to have no effect on the diamonds ability to transmit and scatter light. However, larger flaws, and large groupings of flaws, can diminish the ability of light to pass through the diamond unimpeded. The location and coloration of the flaw has tremendous impact on the overall impact on the diamonds clarity. If a flaw is located near the center of the diamond, and is dark in color, it will often be more detrimental to the diamonds clarity than a clear flaw closer to the diamonds edge.
Clarity is the one area where you will find that you can sacrifice a certain measure of perfection for the sake of cost, and still have a diamond that you will love and cherish. Clarity has tremendous impact on the final cost of the diamond, as it is one of the 4 Cs taken into account with the assessing of a diamonds characteristics, as well as determining a diamonds monetary value. A scale for clarity is used to assess exactly where a particular diamond stands within the world of diamonds. The grading system has been devised to measure the amount of imperfections within diamonds, based on size, location, quantity, color and nature of the inner flaws, or inclusions, when viewed under a magnification of 10X.
Inclusions need not be looked upon with disgust, however, as small inclusions, which detract negligibly from a diamonds clarity and brilliance, can serve as distinct markers for an individual diamond, as no two diamonds share the same inclusions or inclusion patterns. It is for this reason that it is important to become familiar with the inclusions within your diamond, as they serve as the diamonds fingerprint. Knowing your diamonds distinct characteristics will allow you to properly identify your diamond should it leave your person, whether to be cleaned, to be appraised, or for any other reason.
The scale that is most commonly used to determine a clarity grade for diamonds is the GIA clarity grading scale. This grading scale runs from F to I. All diamonds of gem quality need to be graded on this scale in order for the diamonds value to be assessed properly.

Oklahoma Christian University opens its new theater season with a stage adaptation of "The Golem," a dramatic poem based on the Jewish folk story of an artificial avenger.
H. Leivick wrote the poem in 1921, though the golem concept has been traced throughout Jewish history. Barrett Huddleston, professor of theater, and Charles Rix, professor of Bible, collaborated on the stage adaption of the famous poem, which is popular in Yiddish theater.
Huddleston selected the play because of its fit with this year's theme of "uncertainty."
"The play uses the fantasy elements to pose a serious religious question: Should justice or salvation be more valued by the righteous?" said Huddleston, who also directs the play. "The play is an excellent venue for this question because theater has equipped itself to render concrete, deep apprehensions and uncertainties, be they social, spiritual or existential questions."
"The Golem" is set in Prague and features Rabbi Loew ben Bazalel. He creates an unformed being from the dirt for the purpose of protecting Jews from the anti-semitic riots, or pogroms, of the 17th century. The story of this almost Frankenstein-like character includes a number of Jewish and Christian themes.
"The sacrifices Rabbi Loew undertakes come at a tragic cost," Huddleston said. "They serve as a caution to those that nurture revenge instead of grace."
The 10-person cast for "The Golem" features A.J. Leingang as the Golem, and Talon Ice as the rabbi. Leingang is a freshman from Edmond, Okla., and Ice is a sophomore from Kingfisher, Okla.
The play begins at 8 p.m. in Judd Theatre on Oct. 18-20. To order tickets, call the OC Box Office at (405) 425-5540. The play is appropriate for ages 12 and up.
Tickets cost $10. Tickets for senior citizens over 60 and groups of 20 or more are $8. OC students, faculty and staff and their immediate families are free (with a valid ID).

Not Everyone Needs to be an Energy Auditor
"All of the building science in the world means nothing if it never makes it to the building," said John Costello, lead field instructor at Everblue Training Institute during a webinar earlier this week. The webinar, titled "Not Everyone Needs to be an Energy Auditor: Exploring BPI's Building Science Principles Certificate of Knowledge," explained to participants what the new certificate's purpose is and why the industry needs it.
The answers to those questions? The Building Science Principles (BSP) Certificate is a knowledge-based certificate that informs people how their homes work and how the homes they go into work. The home performance industry needs it because "all of the building science in the world means nothing if it never makes it to the building."
But that's not the only reason that BPI created this certificate. "There was a lot of demand from contractors for their office staff and new people in the trade," said Tiger Adolf, director of program design and market development for BPI. Since its launch in January of this year, manufacturers, home inspectors, appraisers, and realtors are among the groups of people that have shown interest. And why not? Shouldn't everyone that touches this industry have a basic, foundational knowledge of the building science behind what they do?
Just like the traditional educational path we all took in elementary, middle, and high school, we were required to obtain foundational knowledge in all subject areas then given the choice to branch out from there. Once we had our basics down, we could then choose to obtain more in-depth knowledge in the subject of expertise we were most interested in. It's a tried-and-true method of learning that undoubtedly makes sense in the world of home performance.
A supporter of the certificate, Chris Mari, office manager of Healthy Home Energy & Consulting, Inc., had his team participate in after-work study sessions that eventually led in the crew taking the certification test. (The test is 100 multiple-choice questions and can be taken online or at a BPI test center.) As a small organization with a staff of less than 10 people, all members of the Healthy Home Energy & Consulting group have their hands in a lot of aspects of the company, which does energy audits and retrofit work. Mari wanted his team to take the certification test primarily because, as he put it, "If you don't understand the concepts, none of the details are going to make sense to you either."
All in all, he's had positive feedback from staff and clients. "The certificate taught employees about building science and how it played a role in all of their jobs," he said. It's also helped them communicate more effectively with customers and each other.
As we all know, communication is key in all relationships—and there's no better way to foster communication than if we can all speak the same language.
Guess that means I better get to studying.

Augusta's freshman boys basketball team didn't need much time to take full control of its home tournament opener Thursday night at Augusta Middle School.
The Orioles forced several turnovers early and rattled off a dozen points before Valley Center even got on the scoreboard, which was late in the first quarter. The Orioles maintained defensive pressure all night en route to a 64-42 win.
The Orioles' offense fed off its defense all night. Early in the fourth quarter, Preston Bevan scored a wide open layup after Gannon Marcotte made a steal and passed it up the floor. Bevan returned the favor the next play by tipping and stealing a pass, then passing up the floor to Marcotte for another layup.
Cole Howerton paced the Orioles offensively. He made seven field goals, four in the second half, and finished with 15 points.
Marcotte finished with seven points and had five assists and a couple of steals.
Cody Wesbrooks had a stellar first half, when he scored 10 of his 12 points. He made two 3-pointers.
Josh Korthals got going in the paint in the second half, making four field goals and getting several rebounds on both ends of the floor. He finished with nine points.
Bevan finished with six points. Logan Weakley and Dylan Barker added five points apiece. Jaden Shryock scored three points.
The Orioles will play Circle in the second round of the tournament at 11:30 a.m. Saturday. If the Orioles win, they will advance to the championship and play the Andale-Buhler semifinal winner at 2:30 p.m in the main gym. If the Orioles lose, they play for third place in the north gym, also at 2:30.

CorsixTH is a clone of Theme Hospital. As computers evolve, we risk losing some classic games. Bullfrog's Theme Hospital, published in 1997, is a classic simulation game, but getting it to run natively on modern operating systems is getting progressively harder. CorsixTH aims to reimplement the game engine of Theme Hospital, and to be able to load the original game data files. This means that you will need a purchased copy of Theme Hospital, or a copy of the demo, in order to use CorsixTH. After most of the original engine has been reimplemented, the project will serve as a base from which extensions to the original game can be made.
NouvaLinux backup and rescue is a live CD with some special tools for making backups and system recovery. The main tool is an application made by RyXéo (a free software company): a partclone GUI. Backup is Clonezilla compatible: you can make backups with NouvaLinux backup and restore them with Clonezilla.

Now that coconut water has enjoyed its ten minutes of fame, another wonder-drink is pushing its way into the nutritional spotlight: maple water. Similar to coconut water, maple water is being touted as a hydrating, electrolyte-packed alternative to sugary sports drinks. But it has some advantages over coconut water: maple water is naturally low in sugar and contains only 20 calories per serving compared to an average of 50 calories for the same serving size of coconut water. Maple water further one-ups coconut water by boasting 46 unique bioactive compounds, some of which have antioxidant properties.
So what is maple water, exactly? Crazily enough, this soon-to-be "it" drink isn't really anything new; the indigenous people of North America have been drinking the stuff for centuries. Maple water is essentially another term for maple sap, the clear liquid that flows naturally through sugar maple trees (by comparison, maple syrup is ultra-concentrated maple sap that has been boiled down to 66 percent sugar, which is why it's much sweeter). Unlike pinesap, which is stick and thick, maple sap is clear and fluid, containing about 96 to 96 percent water. When extracted from trees in its raw form, maple sap makes a subtly sweet, lightly flavored water beverage naturally rich in vitamins and minerals, including calcium, potassium and magnesium.
Taste-wise, maple water tastes nothing like coconut water—it's subtly sweet with just the slightest, barely perceptible hint of maple flavor. For those who find the taste of coconut water aversive (which apparently an overwhelming number of people do, as evidenced by this comical and scathing indictment of the coconut water via the Huffington Post), maple water might be a more palatable solution. Another benefit of maple water? Because it can be locally sourced and bottled within the continental U.S., it has a significantly smaller carbon footprint than coconut water. Maple water is also a versatile cooking aid, an ideal ingredient for marinades, soups, ice creams, sorbets and cocktails.
Will maple water soon usurp its coconut counterpart as the hottest hangover elixir and post-workout drink? Only time will time. Previously only available in Canada, maple water is soon coming to grocery shelves near you, manufactured by brands such as Wahta, SEVA, Vertical, and DRINKmaple.

|Seimone Augustus opened her Final Eight campaign with a shared team-high 18 points
Turning Point: Tied up at 58-58 and with Schio keeping pace with the favourites, a devastating 17-4 run by Sparta&K either side of the third quarter break proved decisive. Their burst of scoring included two big triples from Seimone Augustus and Elisa Aguilar, in addition to a tough 'and-1' play from Marina Kuzina.
Game Heroes: Seimone Augustus and Candice Dupree combined for 36 points although a late cameo from veteran Spanish guard Elisa Aguilar sparked the late Sparta&K surge.
Stats Don't Lie: Despite 32 points from Jantel Lavender and 21 points from Giorgia Sottana, the Italians couldn't find a genuinely productive third or fourth scorer to support them.
Candice Dupree admitted there is still some defensive fine tuning to do for Sparta&K MR Vidnoje after they opened their account at EuroLeague Women Final Eight with an 88-79 success against Famila Schio.
Speaking after an influential contribution, the forward admitted her team needs to tighten the defensive screw as the tournament unfolds.
She said, "Offensively I thought we were fine in this game but our defence definitely needs more work, since we gave up more points than we would have liked."
"(Jantel) Lavender played great for them but I think if we play defence like that for the rest of the week, things might not go too well for us."
It was a sentiment echoed post-game by head coach Pokey Chatman, although the play-caller was relieved Schio didn't find the additional scorers they needed to be successful.
Lavender was a constant thorn in the side of Sparta&K, nailing jump shots with ruthless efficiency as Sottana pulled the strings in the backcourt, dishing up ten assists to secure a fine double-double.
But, Sparta&K had too much in their locker and the superior depth and physicality eventually wore down Schio as they put together a potent three minute spell which defined the outcome of the game.

Rugs - OFFLINE

Clear all selections to show more results.
What factors should I consider when purchasing a rug?
Consider your desired rug shape and size before looking at selections. Most common sizes start at 2'x3' and go up to 8'x10' or larger. You can get an idea by measuring the room you would like to decorate and then measuring the space you want to adorn with a rug. Some people choose to use newspapers in order to get a preliminary view of how a candidate space will look once covered over. Most rugs come in square, rectangle, round, oval, octagon, or runner shapes.
If you're searching for a rug to complement a dining room table amidst a hardwood floor, then consider getting a rug large enough so that the legs of chairs are not half on the rug and half on the floor during dining - such a difference can lead to an awkward seating position. Of course, this is also true for chairs and couches present in a family or living room.
Many people purchase rugs to enhance a room and/or to complement present colors within. Compatibility and contrast of colors is completely up to you. It is suggested to look through magazines and watch interior design television programs to get ideas. Ultimately, choose colors that please and satisfy you – it is your living space.
Different patterns can make colors appear more vivid or secondary depending on pattern shapes. Many people like to consider the shapes present in the proposed room while browsing rug selections.
"Pattern" can mean different things to different people, but it is thought of in this context as the lines which define shapes on a specific rug. At present, the rug industry recognizes three, general types of patterns: curvilinear (has curving lines), geometric (has vertical and horizontal lines), and pictorial (features pictures of objects).
As with a rug's color, choose patterns that please you. Some decide to go conventional and have patterns match that of other elements in a room. Alternatively, some choose to drastically contrast a room's décor by selecting an unconventional design. That is the beauty of rugs; they are small enough as to not take precedence over a room, yet varieties offer the ability to really enhance a room's appearance.
Style can be discussed in different regards, but in this context, it is referred to as the combination of a rug's pattern, color, and like and/or contrasting elements. This is the portion of the rug purchase that is most in your hands. Choose a style that reflects your personality or that of the room you wish to decorate.
Designated styles can be contemporary, traditional, reflective of a season, or feature a motif (such as food, the ocean, a country house, etc.)
Design can refer to how colors and patterns are composed within the rug to make a visual effect. Designs can be very intricate, simple, solid, accentuate borders, or combine many elements for effect.
The rug industry recognizes three, general designs: one-sided (design favors just one side), medallion (the center becomes the main focal point and design flows from there), or all-over (there is no necessary rhyme or reason and design encompasses the entire area of the rug).
Aren't there different types of rugs such as Persian, Native American, Indian, etc.?
Yes, rugs are often classified in terms of place of origin, yet it is suggested to let your eyes and intuition choose a rug rather than focusing on a particular "type" of rug. Search through magazines and watch television programs to get a better sense of places of origin, yet it can get complicated to focus on names because different places also host different sub-sets of rugs. This is why it is suggested to let your eyes and personal sense of style do the shopping for you.
Do you have rug sets?
Yes, we do have rug sets. Many people like the idea of establishing a motif or union of elements within a particular room. Because rugs can contrast so much, it may be hard to find an exact match in different sizes, so rug sets are perfect for this purpose. Rug sets usually feature a major rug piece supplemented with one or more runners.

Things I never thought I'd miss.
It's not like the Z3 is exactly a plush-bottomed luxobarge, but it does have a few creature comforts which I wasn't used to and which I therefore pooh-poohed as excessive fripperies when I bought it. Now, having driven the Forester for a week while the Zed sits in the garage waiting for climate change to have an effect on the Broad Ripple glacier sliding down the alley, I find myself missing things I never thought I'd miss...
Remote door locks, for example. Before I had the Z3, I used to mock the little *beeps* and *bwoops* you'd hear in parking lots, yet it only took a month or two before I found myself standing outside my apartment door with an armload of groceries, unconsciously thumbing the remote as though it would unlock the deadbolt, too. The Subie has power locks, but no remote, and I'm constantly getting ten steps across the parking lot and having to go back and do that thing with the key in the door. Funny, I don't remember locking and unlocking a car being this much of a pain in the ass.
Cruise control? I can hold a speed on the highway +/- 5mph without tying up too many processor cycles, but what am I supposed to do if my right foot gets a little owie and sore after a couple hours? Coast to the shoulder while trying to flex some life into my tootsies and the stiffness out of my ankle? I can't remember... I know I took roadtrips before 2001, and so I must have known the answer and just forgot it.
The roadster has a pretty truncated version of BMW's trip computer: Pushing in on the turn signal stalk will toggle the clock through telling you the outside air temp, average speed, average mileage, and range remaining on this tank. The Subie will tell me what time it is, but only because the clock in the Alpine head unit is still soldiering on after the integral one in the overhead console has gone to wherever it is that little LED clocks go after a long and happy life. Being the 'satiably curious sort, I find myself scanning the horizon for bank thermometers because what's the temperature, dammit? I have to know! I used to know and now I don't!
Perhaps surprisingly, I am surviving without the heated seats just fine. The Forester's heater makes with the toasty air in a hurry and the cloth seats warm fast, too, and if you don't dial the temp setting back, it'll run you out of the car in a sweat in a surprisingly short time.
I feel like such a tenderfoot for missing cruise control, though...

I went from a car with power windows & cruise to one without 12 years ago and I still wish I had them to this day. Too bad Obama won the election, I had already picked out the decked-out 4x4 crew cab with bells and whistles I was going to buy if Mitt won. Instead, I replaced a faulty coil pack and spark plug wires this weekend to keep my heap running for another four years.

Ah...cruise control...
The trucks at work, when I started sooo many years ago, it consisted of your foot at a certain level of pressure to keep the speed at a certain level.
Plus...I knew a ticket for speed in a truck (a non CDL but still up to 25,990 pounds) is about double the going rate for a car.
Off work...I need cruise control. Okay, I don't "need" cruise control, but it is so darned convenient. In Honda type vehicles, one even can set the cruise down to 25 miles per hour, not quite slow enough for the "school zones" but hey, darn close anyways.

Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying.
I traded my 5 yr. old pick-up off essentially for the same reasons when it ONLY had 70,000 miles, which to me is almost like brand new.
Bought it new at model year end close-out, but it was spartan (it did have cruise control) and found I was a wuss, so I ordered the new one with a number of specific extras; like pwr windows, pwr outside mirrors (I hated adjusting the old ones every time I got the trk washed....which was sometimes twice a week) and carpets. (I didn't think I would miss carpets, but it was amazing the way stuff slid around on the floor without 'em.)
It's amazing how quickly one can be corrupted...
All The Best,

Back about '91 I bought a new Toyota Corolla, stick shift. I had them add cruise control. Panasonic made mine, it included an annoying switch zip-tied to the clutch pedal -- that came off if my foot slipped wrong on the pedal. It was surprising how often Panasonic, or the installer, felt my foot placement was "wrong". But the added little box on the dash was nice.
I have to wonder, though -- should those caught texting while they drive be forced to have cruise control removed on any vehicle they drive? It might be that cruise control frees up the attention they divert to those diverting electronic gizmos. And, if they persist with the divertinging, erratic speed can look like distracted, not to say "drunk", driving.
Myself, I would forbid laws that make you drive safely, except maybe for driving closer than 200 feet from the car ahead, or cutting in front of someone (like, closer than 200 feet , and/or at a speed slower than the vehicle you are cutting off), and for negligence and/or causing a wreck. Thinning the gene pool, is the way I have heard it described. And the driver at fault don't get no claims on any insurance. But that won't be this week.

When I read the start:
"...years riding motorcycles, where weather protection is something you wear and grocery shopping is limited to what you can squeeze under a bungee net on the pillion..."
I had to laugh. I spent one year here in Minnesnowta where my only "vehicle" was a 185-cc Honda. You ever try to get your foot under the shift lever while wearing a pair of Sorels? (Sorels boots, aka, "Minnesota Wingtips".) You have to approach the lever from the side, and kind of boot-tip it from 1st to 2nd. My route from apartment to work was all on snow emergency routes, so it was always plowed, but getting that thing started in sub-zero weather was interesting, to say the least.
Now I've got cruise control on the bike (GoldWing), and enough storage built in that I can haul two or three full grocery bags INSIDE the plastic. Plus the case of Guinness on the pillion. That's without even pulling the trailer behind it.
I've thought about getting a "little" bike for in-city commuting, but I'd miss all of the creature-comforts that make the 'Wing a 9-month-of-the-year bike, like the heated grips, heated saddle and full fairing-and-lowers. I'm spoiled, too.

What a girly girl!
I had an old Ranger that was lovingly known as the Township Truck. No radio, no crusie, no AC and no rear bumper and painted dull grey.
When I traded it for the F-150 XLT package I was in hog heaven. Now I complain because the pickup doesn't have a cup holder for my coffee.

I went from a 67 Newport to an 89 chevy half ton and thought I was living high on the hog. Power windows, wow! Next one was a trade to a 3/4 ton work truck. Still pw/pl, but it had a spotlight on the roof, and eventually rope for both door handles. Finally bought a grown up truck- diesel, crew cab, heated leather, remote, power EVERYTHING. Now I feel like I'm getting soft... But at least my wife will ride in this one. It happens. Enjoy your Subie, though. There's a reason they are the most popular passenger car in Montana and Idaho, and its not for the fripperies.

I dread my next change of vehicle. Cruise control? Power windows? Remote? Naw... the thing I'll miss is the almost turn-on-a-dime turn radius. In a full size SUV no less. On the occasions that I have to drive my Mother's car to take her or my Grandmother anywhere (neither of which have an easy time getting into the jeep, too high) I'm always amazed by the car's lack of maneuverability. Parking spots that I would just whip into with the Commander are difficult for the car (disclaimer, the car is a BUICK, so I imagine it doesn't have the best turn radius out there).
For all the things Jeep got wrong on the Commander, they sure got the turn radius right. It makes that thing drive like something half it's size.

From long experience, I know that I can't afford to drive a car without cruise control - too many speeding tickets if I'm controlling the speed.
- 10:51 AM, January 07, 2013
I know what you mean, Tam - for years I was driving a '92 Buick Roadmaster with every option but the heated seats (it was a Florida car, what's the point of heated seats?), and now use a '98 K2500 P/U I bought from Penn State - as a fleet vehicle, the only option was the automatic transmission. I don't miss the powered locks, and I prefer the driver's window being manual (the passenger one being manual means a long stretch across the cab, though), but God, I do miss cruise control.

Sounds like my car, except the dash has been gutted too, and the passenger half is just a piece of tubing. No back seats, either. ;)
I am thinking of making it slightly *less* spartan though, and putting a heater in it, and an amp with a headphone jack on the dash so I can use an iPod with it. I feel like such a sellout.
Of course, I'm not sure I'd be able to hear the stereo over the exhaust anyway.

Garrett Lee,
There is a use for heated seats in Florida. My Mother's best friend had poor circulation (on top of a host of other non-deadly but annoying conditions). She LOVES the heated seats because there are days when the rest of us would be uncomfortable in long sleeves, while she's shivering in a sweater. Heated seats means that we don't have to choose between her comfort and ours when we all go somewhere in the car.

We sold the wife's 2004 Saturn Ion that was essentially fully loaded for a 2011 Mazda 2, that wasn't. We have power windows, keyless entry, heat, air conditioning, and a radio. The end. She'd already bought the car, by the time I got there, if I had realized it was sans cruise control, I would have left it at the dealer.
It sucks, because that little shoebox gets around 38 mpg drinking regular on the highway at 75mph. My car (Mazdaspeed 3, fully loaded), only gets 32 mpg at 75mph and drinks premium. The cost difference is significant enough that the shoebox is the road trip car on trips longer than 100 miles one way.
No cruise control for 1000 miles, is a long damn 1000 miles, for a long injured right now and regularly sprained ankles. I feel you.

The old VW squareback had a mesh-bottomed storage shelf under the dash.
A friend of mine used to run a gold-headed cane through the mesh to stabilize it, then hold the head lightly in this right hand, braced against the steering wheel
Sort of steampunk cruise control.

Heated seats are also useful in other ways.

If the Subie had cruise control or p/locks as an option, you can most likely rob a junk yard car for the necessary parts to upgrade yours. It's typically an easy job to swap optional items this way, and generally better and cheaper than working with aftermarket upgrades.
The only real problem I've encountered doing this on various vehicles was in the case where the wiring harness wasn't set up with the plugins for the item. Normally, most of the time the manufacturer tries to design the harness to accept all the options possible, although sometimes this may require changing a sub-assembly harness. This might be as extensive as the rear half of the system sometimes, but it should still be a plug-in harness.
Occasionally, it requires a different computer to control the option, though.
Getting one of those service books with the various wiring schematics helps a lot. The Chilton/Haynes books might still have the wiring in them.

Ha ha ! I too had a car with a roll cage. My first car actually (Peugeot 205 GTI, lot's of lift-throttle oversteer).
With mandatory 4-point harnesses for rallying.
One day I got pulled over by the cops. I just couldn't get my wallet (driver's licence, insurance ...) from the console. My first attempt at getting my wallet probably made me look retarded: "dammit, my arms are too short !".
Then the next one had A/C, remote locking and what sounded like a stereo with a CD player.
The current one has automatic windshield wipers and automatic headlights ... Makes you totally lazy. It's like "car entitlement programs" !
Next one will be even more ridiculous: swipe you feet under the rear bumper and the trunk pops open automatically. You don't have to press on the remote anymore ...

Well if it was frippery you wanted with your AWD, you shoulda chose the Mondeo...
Son got his title transferred today, had it serviced and checked out by our guy (no problems), and will hit the road for south fla in a few hours. Here's a fake fleabay listing with pics of car and son (son not included).
Fripperies out the ying-yang, a very pleasant driver, and it's a creampuff for an '02 with 85K on the clock and a sub-$5K price.
Still, as I've referenced before, it'll probably have a date with the compactor while your old Subie is still busting 'drifts. You made the right choice for what you need...and with temps here in the 70's today and the 80's the rest of this week, so did he.
- 2:49 PM, January 07, 2013
Fleabay gives you several no-cost local vehicle listings, which include a free Autochek similar to a Carfax, so that 'splains the fake listing (I'm a cheap bastard).
Also listed a clean '06 Chrysler 300 (for which I traded a Rolex on Friday) for the same reason. Might list that one for real though; son preferred the Jag, and I can sell the 300 quicker than a 10K watch in this economy...PB
- 3:19 PM, January 07, 2013
Tam, in my experience you can use the brake and clutch foot for the go pedal if you are in long term cruise control. Give the other foot a break. Also it's a good time to stop and take a short walk if your leg is cramping.
Used to drive between NYC and Montreal ( more or less) where the GPS says (North of Albany): "next turn, 225 miles" (and the sign for gas says: next gas station 60 miles) or some such in the Adirondacks, and that's about 7 hours highway ride with light traffic without the CC, you get used to it pretty quickly.

Cruise control is a good thing. It's as much a safety feature as a luxury, for allowing you to keep more of your eyes on the road. You can always stick a thermometer on the outside mirror. I once had a 1963 Dodge 330 with a digital clock and rear window defrost. That what was lacking can be added. -- Lyle

Don't feel bad about missing cruise control. Twenty five to thirty years ago I'd drive for too many hours straight holding the fuel pump on a Cummins in the sweet spot, and when I got home I'd about fall out of the cab. Cruise control extended the life of my knees by several decades. Less stress on you, too.

Cruise control - that's what you got TWO feet for! Sheesh. All you're doing is shaking your foot out.
Mind you, I went from a Nissan Maxima w/ cruise, automatic, power windows, remote power locks, etc, to a basic F150 work truck with one upgrade. Cruise control. It's a 5spd, crank windows, manual locks. Oh, in between the Maxima and the F150? I spent 3 years with only a motorcycle. So yeah, I really appreciate the creature comforts of a/c & heat, self cancelling turn signals. I would like power windows (the passenger window is a LONG stretch across the cab), but that's about it.

Ten years ago, I was driving a 4-cylinder, 4-speed 1980ish Ford Fairmont with 252K miles on it so that my then-wife could have the nice car to transport our special-needs son around. No A/C, vent didn't work, no defrost, no headliner, 3 hubcaps (until I snagged 4 Buick platters at a yard sale and upgraded), and the driver's seat was wedged in place by a landscape timber on the floor behind it. But the 4-on-the-floor and empty-tin-can weight made it passably fun to drive, and the automatic oil changing system (aka quart-a-week leak) kept the oil fresh and clean.
Now, ten years later, I'm driving an '04 Acura sports sedan with a 6-speed manual and more onboard geekery than you can shake a sonic screwdriver at. Buttons are sooooo 20th century when you can operate your car's systems by talking to her...and I now find myself missing the voice controls when I drive a car without them.

And there are remote door lock modules for your Subie on fleabay for about $50. Key fobs are a little extra.
And not all Subarus are driven by hippies. I know for a fact that the Outback Sport can hold 8800 rounds of 7.62x54R and a slightly annoyed bulldog without problem.

Colic is a problem that affects some babies during the first three to four months of life. It is defined by the "rule of three": crying at least three hours per day, more than three days per week, and for three weeks duration or more. It can be very stressful and frustrating to parents. Colic usually begins suddenly, with loud and mostly continuous crying.
Health care providers are not certain what causes colic. There are several theories about why colic may or may not occur, including the following:
A child who is otherwise well, who cries or is fussy several hours a day, especially from 6 pm to midnight, with no apparent reason, may have colic. Also, babies with colic may burp frequently or pass a significant amount of gas, but this is thought to be due to swallowing air while crying, and is not a cause of colic. The face may be flushed. The abdomen may be tense with legs drawn toward it. The hands may be clenched and the feet are often cold.
The symptoms of colic may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's health care provider for a diagnosis.
Infants who are either under or over fed may be more susceptible to colic. Those who are allergic to formula or are sensitive to something in the mother's diet (if breastfed) are prone to colic symptoms. Infants in the 0 to 3 month age range who are started on cereal or other high carbohydrate food are also likely to develop colic as a result of excessive fermentation resulting in gassiness. Lastly, an emotionally unstable environment may contribute to colic symptoms in an infant.
Colic may become a concern due to the following reasons:
Babies with colic usually grow and gain weight appropriately, despite being fussy or irritable, being gassy, and losing sleep.
A health care provider will examine your baby and obtain a medical history. Questions might be asked about how long and how often your child cries, if you have noticed anything that seems to trigger the crying, and what comfort measures are effective, if any. Blood tests and X-rays or other imaging tests may be done to determine if there are other problems present.
Before assuming your child has colic, you should look for other signs of illness. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Call your child's health care provider if you note any of these symptoms, or if your baby is crying excessively. Your child's health care provider will examine your child to make sure other problems are not present that might be causing colic-like symptoms.
Learning how to interpret your baby's cry can be helpful in dealing with colic. It does take some time for parents and babies to become accustomed to each other. Remember, babies will cry for a certain length of time every day under normal circumstances.
Other suggestions include the following:
The symptoms of colic usually resolve by the time a baby is about 4 months of age. Consult your child's health care provider for more information.

If you're a professional athlete or entertainer (and really, who among us isn't?), Octagon Financial Services may be the firm for you.
The specialty advisor firm counts Olympic gold medalists, NBA, NHL and MLB All-Stars, and NFL Super Bowl champions as clients. And it's now announced a partnership with Dynasty Financial Partners to increase its open-architecture platform offerings.
Dynasty spokeswoman Sally Cates stressed that Dynasty is not an acquisition or "rollup" firm, in that it does not take an equity position in the firms with which it partners. Rather, it is a network of independent financial advisors that benefit from the firm's platform.
Octagon claims to be the world's largest sports and entertainment management and marketing company with 30 years of industry experience. A key component of the agency's offering is its in-house financial services division, known for its expertise in serving the unique financial needs of the professional athlete and entertainer. In choosing Dynasty's customized investment platform and reporting tools, OFS looks to "[continue] its leadership position in the industry."
"Our clients generate a lifetime of earnings over a short period of time," Jan Plewes, managing director of OFS, said in a statement. "For 30 years, we have helped them manage their wealth—from first contract signing through retirement and beyond. We feel that Dynasty expands our investment platform and delivers top-level execution in one customized, integrated package."
More specifically, OFS provides strategic financial planning, investment advice, bill paying and many other concierge-like services to professional athletes and entertainers, helping them manage their daily lives away from the field or studio.
"For our clients, capital preservation and financial planning are the most crucial elements," said Frank Zecca, one of the agency's senior vice presidents. "Their peak earning years typically occur at a very young age, and their assets have to provide security far after their careers come to an end. This requires thoughtful management, budgeting and investment expertise. It is our job to make sure that our clients are in a position to support their families and maintain their standard of living throughout their lifetime, and ultimately create a legacy for many generations to come."

Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is characterized by the death or damage and softening of the white matter, the inner part of the brain that transmits information between the nerve cells and the spinal cord, as well as from one part of the brain to another.
With PVL, the area of damaged brain tissue can affect the nerve cells that control motor movements. As the baby grows, the damaged nerve cells cause the muscles to become spastic, or tight, and resistant to movement. Babies with PVL have a higher risk of developing cerebral palsy (a group of disorders that prevent the child from controlling their muscles normally), and may have intellectual or learning difficulties. PVL may occur alone or in addition to intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding inside the brain).
It is not clear why PVL occurs. This area of the brain is very susceptible to injury, especially in premature babies whose brain tissues are fragile. PVL may happen when the brain receives too little oxygen. However, it is not clear when the trigger for PVL occurs--before, during, or after birth. Most babies who develop PVL are premature, especially those born before 30 weeks gestation. Other factors that may be associated with PVL include early rupture of membranes (amniotic sac) and infection inside the uterus.
PVL may not be apparent until later months. Each baby may experience symptoms differently. The most common symptom of PVL is spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy characterized by tight, contracted muscles, especially in the legs. The symptoms of PVL may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's doctor for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for PVL may include:
There are no treatments for PVL. Management of the problems that can result from PVL will be determined by your baby's doctor based on:
Babies at risk for PVL may need special care after discharge from the hospital. Follow-up may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.

When it comes to funding an 11-figure(!) transit project, every litttle counts as they say in Euro-land. So just try finding an elected official in CA who don't want the Feds to kick in another eight figures, to drip another drop in the bucket, right?
Well, our California High-Speed Rail Authority recently asked around, and it turns out that everyone is all aboard.
Deets below.
A Californian TGV pour vous et moi? Someday, maybe:

To Be Continued….
California High-Speed Rail Authority Seeks New Federal Funds. Local Leaders Support $16.6 Million Bid for Planning
SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 19 — With strong support from local officials, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has submitted three planning grant applications that could provide as much as $16.6 million in additional federal funding for the state's high-speed train project.
The funds would pay for service development plans that would help keep the preparation of draft environmental documents and preliminary engineering documents on schedule in the Los Angeles to San Diego and Merced to Sacramento sections of the high-speed rail project and on the Altamont Corridor Rail Project. In addition, the Authority is also supporting the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) in its effort to apply for rail plan grants.
"California's high-speed train project is the biggest public infrastructure project in the nation," said Authority Chairman Curt Pringle. "We're already leading the pack in federal funding for high-speed rail, and we're committed to fighting to bring every federal dollar possible to California. These new applications show we're continuing to work hard to win additional support and keep high-speed rail on track."
The applications will go to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which has $115 million available for planning and construction funds for high-speed intercity passenger rail under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act approved in 2008. Up to $50 million will be awarded in this round of funding.
It Goes On…

Orioles extend Showalter, Duquette through 2018
BALTIMORE -- On the heels of the organization's most successful season in 15 years, the Orioles made a long-term commitment to ensure the two men most responsible -- executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette and manager Buck Showalter -- aren't going anywhere.
The team on Wednesday announced Showalter's long-rumored extension with an unexpected accompaniment of Duquette, both of whom are now signed through the 2018 season. The news, a signal of assurance from ownership, adds stability to an organization hoping to build on the foundation of 2012 and reestablish Baltimore as a perennial contender.
Duquette, brought on last November, had a previous contract that ended in 2014, while Showalter's deal, signed in August 2010, originally ran through the '13 season. The contracts run the same length as the one center fielder Adam Jones signed during the season. The O's held a news conference Thursday to discuss the extensions.
"It's so hard to be able to develop the consistency that makes it an easier workplace when you are constantly changing people at the top," catcher Matt Wieters said. "And we are able to get two guys that are good at what they do to keep their positions for a while, which is a good step forward.
"As a player, it's nice to know who you are going to be working with, and especially Buck being back as the manager, seeing what he's done to this organization and what's been done since he got here."
"He's just an all-around good person, a great guy to be around," right fielder Nick Markakis said of Showalter, who has changed the culture since his arrival, while still keeping the atmosphere light. "He knows the game and he treats you with respect, he treats you like a big league guy. And teammates and players and personnel give him a lot of respect, because that's what he gives us. It's a good fit for him. I think you will see a lot more to come from him. It's a good time for Baltimore and the team and the fans."
A two-time Manager of the Year Award winner (2004 with Texas and 1994 with the Yankees), Showalter was honored with The Sporting News version of the award in 2012, and finished runner-up to Oakland's Bob Melvin for the American League Manager of the Year Award from the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
The 56-year-old Showalter formed a formidable team with Duquette, juggling a roster with more transactions than regular-season games played as the Orioles advanced to the AL Division Series on the heels of a 93-win season.
"I think it's important [to extend both] for their relationship, because I know they work well together," Wieters said. "For Dan, you can look to his track record with Boston, and the team he was able to put together there and the championship they won [after he was dismissed in 2004]. You can see he can build a championship team, and that's what we are shooting for."
Duquette, 54, has more than two decades of experience in baseball operations, including 11 seasons in a general manager role with the Expos, Red Sox and Orioles. Since Day 1, Duquette has preached building a strong foundation through the Minor League system and has steadily accumulated depth to help offset the limited picking pool in some of the O's upper affiliates.
In Duquette's first offseason, he traded for pitcher Jason Hammel, signed Wei-Yin Chen and picked up outfielder Nate McLouth after he was released by Pittsburgh. The trio was a big part of the Orioles' 24-game improvement, and Duquette never stopped scouring the waiver wire, independent leagues or the team's Triple-A club for any move that could make the club even a fraction better.
"You've got to put a product out on the field, but in order to do that, you've got to have guys up top that know what they are doing, that have been around the game and understand the game," Markakis said. "Duquette is also that. He sees talent, obviously, when it's needed and he's just a baseball guy. He's been around the game, he understands it."
Duquette's eight seasons (1994-2001) as executive vice president and general manager of the Red Sox included three playoff teams. The club made the playoffs in 1998 and '99, the first time in 80 seasons the franchise had accomplished the feat. Before joining Boston, Duquette spent six seasons with Montreal, assembling Expos teams that compiled a 255-183 record -- best in baseball -- from 1992-94 despite one of the game's lowest payrolls.
"It's awesome," shortstop J.J. Hardy said. "What they did last year, what Buck has done since he's been there was a big part to why I wanted to stay in Baltimore. I'm excited about it."
Added Jones: "Knowing Buck will be our manager for many years to come makes me even more glad that I signed my contract last year. We made progress in 2012, but our goal is always the World Series, and this announcement is only going to help us be better in the future."
Showalter, in his fourth managerial job, has overseen a double-digit win improvement in his second full season with every club and was named "Marylander of the Year" by the Baltimore Sun earlier this winter. He became the 58th manager in Major League history to win 1,000 games when the O's defeated the Yankees on May 1, 2012, and he enters the 2013 season ranked 49th all-time with 1,078 wins -- sixth among active managers.
"Buck's been so good since Day 1 at preparation and getting everything here so it fits the best needs of the players," Wieters said. "And I think having him in charge here for six more years, you think how much more preparation and time he will put into it and continue tweaking things til he gets it how he wants it. He knows baseball, and that's the thing I'm most excited about, picking his brain and learning from him. He's got a great baseball mind."
"When you get asked to be part of this for a long time, it's something to be excited about," said Markakis, who signed a six-year, $66.1 million deal that runs through 2014, with an option for the following year. "It's something you work hard to get to a point in your career, and I've seen it for a long time coming. I know what the city is about, I know the fan base, it's just fun to be a part of [where the organization is headed]. And I'm just looking to be a part of it and hopefully staying here for a while."

Fleshies, a loud band, started playing together in 1999 in beautiful
Oakland, California. The band's involvement in the east bay area
collective S.P.A.M. Records provided for a convenient label to release
some early 7" records, cassette-only releases, and a (long
out-of-print) self-titled "demo" CD. A penchant for songwriting,
constant shows, and generally keeping busy made for a ridiculous
amount of productivity from a weird punk band, and a number of records
soon followed. The album "Kill The Dreamer's Dream" came out on
Alternative Tentacles in 2001. Fleshies released a 10" picture
disc/CD, "The Game of Futbol", on Billie Joe Armstrong's (Green Day)
Adeline Records in mid-2002. "The Sicilian", again on Alternative
Tentacles, quickly followed in early 2003. This put Fleshies in the
decidedly odd position of having new records out simultaneously on
record labels run by the most longstanding, iconographic figure of
underground punk (Jello Biafra) and by the one individual arguably
responsible for punk's most widespread mainstream recognizance (Billie
Joe Armstrong). Rather than developing a business plan and jumping on
the gravy train of opening slots for high-profile "punk" bands (with a
few one-off exceptions), Fleshies continued their already-established
pattern of body/mind-warping worldwide marathon tours - mostly in the
same basements, warehouses, squats, and really sketchy bars they'd
been playing since 1999, albeit at slightly more packed-out shows.
At one point in early 2004, a short time after playing 133 shows in
131 days, Fleshies added a 5th member (Brian Plaskett), released a
CD-only compilation of old b-sides called "Gung Ho!" on Life Is Abuse
Records, and proceeded to withdraw into the dark warehouse cave of
drummer Brian Hamiltron's Sugar Mountain Studios in Oakland to work on
a new record. They decided to break the punk rock tradition of banging
out a new record in 5 or 6 days, and a damned sweet time was taken in
order to make the most ridiculous album possible. They pushed 1975's
most cutting-edge recording technology to the max, manipulating
8-track half-inch tape machines, breaking tens of dollars' worth of
expensive vintage equipment, and battling cabin fever while living off
of hydrogenated oils and other psychoactive substances. After a year
and a half they emerged, scraggly, mean, and old, with a new record,
back on Alternative Tentacles Records. "Scrape The Walls" is a
spirited effort to molest punk rock in a similar manner that SPARKS
unwholesomely molested glitter rock in the 70's. Appropriately enough,
the album includes a cover of Sparks' "Happy Hunting Ground", with
Jello Biafra on guest vocals. Fleshies, being gluttonous for
punishment, will likely be beating the shit out of themselves on tour
again very soon.
"Fleshies=Irrepressible. Like monkeys on a simian vandalism binge,
Fleshies (no preceding "The", thanks) are too manic to see the line
between polite and psychotic - Or maybe they intentionally ignore it.
Either way, they are, as one lyric puts it, 'locofoco motherfuckers.'
What they are not is a crew of stylistically strangled retropunx. Or
posturing rock gods, waiting patiently for their set to end so they can
scam starry-eyed groupies. No, Fleshies are, simply, a force of Id. The
audience's choice is to either ride their tide or step aside." -JG,
