Buying a car on credit was a difficult decision for me. I vacillated among buying the cheapest beater I could find on Craigslist, to getting it over with quickly and buying a car at Car Max, to closing my eyes and just ordering a new car. ...Just kidding, I was never considering getting a new car. That would fly in the face of everything that Mr. Money Mustache stands for. If I'd gone down that path I would not be surprised if MMM himself showed up at my door step to personally deliver a punch to my face.
The decision for what car I would purchase, really, was a three-way one. The options were 1) cheapest beater possible, 2) something in the $10-15k range from a dealer, or 3) something in the $10-15k range from a private party. As I did a lot more research I concluded that dealers overcharge, and that really all they provide is convenience. This convenience is minuscule when dealing with used cars because inventory is all over the place. The inventory on Craigslist was comparable to inventory at all the local dealers I could find and Craigslist provided one website whereas each dealer has its own website.
I got lucky and found a 2007 Honda Fit Sport, manual transmission of course, with 67k miles. My insistence on a manual transmission explains the lack of used car inventory at dealerships. The guy I bought it from was really nice, explained how diligently he had serviced it and why he didn't need it anymore (he bought a used Saab). I paid $10,500, which is maybe $100 or $200 more than book value for this car in Very Good condition. I was happy with the price because the service record has been sterling and all it needs is new tires in around 10k miles (I'm estimating ~$500 at Costco).
$10,500 is more than I have in cash right now. Remember that I've been holding back cash since almost the beginning of the year in anticipation of buying a car. There was the possibility my mom would lend me her 2008 Yaris, but in the end we decided she would be better off selling it and using the money for her pending retirement. I have around $6k in cash, which does not include $2k that just last week I sent in to pay down my student loan (I hadn't told you guys about that payment yet). Tonight, now that my car situation is settled, I'm going to send in another large payment, probably around $4k.
Here is a copy of the relevant details on this used car loan of mine:
|My Truth-in-Lending Disclosure for my used car loan
The obvious problem with car loans, or any loans for that matter, is the interest you have to pay. In this case I think it's an acceptable tradeoff. If I don't pre-pay any of this loan (unlikely!) then my total finance charge will come to $550.52, or a little over 5% of the loan amount. I'm not worried about the new monthly payment either since I'm basically swimming in free cash flow right now. Other things equal I'd rather have the $550 over five years, but even more I'd rather have the $6k in my bank account to pay down my student loans.
The really insidious problem with car loans is that they subtly and inexorably encourage you to buy more and more expensive cars. If I didn't have access to credit I would literally not have been able to purchase this car. What's worse, I could have easily gotten approved for a much larger loan, maybe even $30k. Can you imagine if I weren't relatively frugal? And I do mean relatively frugal: my Fit is a damn nice vehicle and I paid a premium for it over, for example, an early 2000s Toyota or Honda.
I'm sure I could be just as happy with an older and less expensive vehicle. But I did the calculations and I decided on the set of tradeoffs I describe above. Access to credit shifted my decision toward a more expensive vehicle and now I'm poorer because of it. The thing is, I'd still make the same decision. Debt is sneaky like that.
I don't mean to be all doom and gloom. But I do want to give myself up as a cautionary tale. The less automotive inventory you keep the richer you will be.
I think it's funny how everyone I tell is congratulatory. I'm happy about my new (used) car, too. I don't think congratulations are necessarily out of order. But it would be more reasonable, I think, if we offered each other condolences upon taking on new debt.

As I wrote in the earlier post, the Brown family came from Port Royal. I do not know for sure exactly where they lived there, but it could have been on a street similar to this one.
As I have already written, my great-grandfather, Daniel Elias Brown, was a shipwright, employed at the Port Royal Dockyard. I have not, so far, been able to find out much about his parents. He was born in Kingston 25 February 1827, on King Street, the son of Edward and Sarah Brown, and baptized on 3 May 1827. I have no further information on his parents, except that they had three other children, that I've found -- a daughter, Sarah Saunders Brown, born 24 December 1828 in Pink Lane, Kingston,and baptized in April 1828; another daughter, Eliza, born 9 May 1832 in Princes Street, Kingston, and a son, Jonas, born 25 August 1834, also in Princes Street. Both Eliza and Jonas were baptized 8 January 1837.
So, as I've indicated in my title, this is not just the story of the Brown family. Unable to find out more about Daniel's parents' origins, I moved to his wife's family. Daniel married a widow, Sarah Letitia McDonald. Sarah had married one Donald McDonald, a shoemaker in Port Royal, in 1851 in Port Royal. They were married in the Wesleyan Methodist Church by the Rev. William Tyson. This marriage record, part of the Dissenter Marriage Registers microfilmed by the Mormons, does not give the ages or names of parents of the parties, though it does indicate that permission was given for the bride to be married by her mother, "Mary Smith, surviving parent", whereas the groom was listed as being of "full age". By that we can deduce that Donald was over 21 and Sarah was not. Sarah's full name was given as Sarah Letitia Huggins, and I discovered in my research that her parents were James Vashon Huggins and Mary Goldson, both of Port Royal. By this time James Huggins was dead and Mary Huggins had remarried in 1845 to George Pitblade Smith.
Donald and Sarah had two daughters, Elizabeth Huggins McDonald, born 1852, and Mary Noel, born 1854. I have so far been unable to find a burial record in Port Royal for Donald McDonald, who must have died prior to 1858 when Sarah married Daniel Elias Brown. Here is the record of their marriage, from the Dissenter Marriage Registers for Port Royal:
This marriage also took place in the Wesleyan Methodist denomination; the officiating minister was the Rev. James Cox, another person who fits into my family research, though again, I have been unable to find out much about him except for a small entry in Philip Wright's Monumental Inscriptions of Jamaica, published by the Society of Genealogists in 1966. According to a mural tablet in the Wesley Church, Tower Street, "the Rev. James Cox died at Morant Bay, 30 May 1859, aged 55", apparently not too long after he married Daniel and Sarah. In corresponding with another Cox researcher I have learned that James Cox may have been born in Bermuda. He settled in Jamaica, married and fathered two sons that I know of: Theophilus Pugh Cox, born about 1844, who became the Headmaster of the Government Training College, Spanish Town, and Henry Martyn Hill Cox, born about 1845, who also became a Methodist minister. These brothers married two sisters, Mary Ann Barned and Lucinda Baker Barned, respectively.
Daniel, in marrying Sarah, took on her two daughters who would have been six and four years old, and not long after began a family of his own, seven children in all, six daughters and a son. All were born in Port Royal and baptized there in the Wesleyan Methodist church. I have written about some of them in previous posts -- Susan Saunders Brown who married John Cassis; my grandmother, Amanda, who married William Dey Smedmore; Bertha Rose who married Charles Percival Esterine and emigrated to New York; and Theresa Eugenie, who never married. It appears that, like the Smedmore family, the Brown family also left Port Royal at some point to settle in Kingston, since Daniel Elias Brown died there 7 April 1891, at 115 East Street. His death was registered by his daughter, Sarah Letitia Webster Brown, whose address was given as 49 Rose Lane, and that is where Sarah, Daniel's widow, died 25 July 1898. Perhaps Daniel and Sarah had lived at 115 East Street and after he died she went to live with her unmarried daughter, Sarah, who had been named after her.
In my next post I will pursue the story of Sarah Letitia Brown, my great-grandmother and her family history.

Cruiser skateboards are essentially longboards that aren't as long (maybe the person who coined "cruiser board" just thought "short longboard" was too much of an oxymoron). Cruiser skateboards feature a lot of longboard components, like softer, bigger longboard wheels (for more asphalt grip), wider and quicker pivoting longboard trucks, and more flexible materials than standard skateboards. On a cruiser, you can do a lot of standard skateboard tricks, or you can bomb down hills like on a longboard. A lot of riders also pivot back and forth to propel forward on flats without pushing at all.
Zumiez is the place to shop ready-to-ride-out-of-the-box complete cruiser skateboards. Find the cruiser board for you right here in the Zumiez cruiser skateboard shop.

It's outrageous!
With all these young people SMS-ing and texting all over the place today, correct grammar is going out the window (Professor Cods-wallop)
Often, lecturers complain that emails from students contain SMS-speak and students are losing the ability to write cogent, formal sentences.
Is it the case that the use of SMS language will lead to the demise of correct English and grammar in writing - or is this pure speculation (ie a load of rubbish on the part of the stuffy establishment!)
Wot r yr views re txting? LOL!! BRB.

On Wednesday 8th July, the North Somerset and Bristol Group were part of the Countryside Day organised by the North Somerset Agricultural Society.
Approximately 2,600 primary school children from Bristol and North Somerset attended the day and learned about different aspects of the journey their food takes from plough to plate. Pupils met a variety of animals in the 'farmyard', watched working demonstrations of mowing, baling, combining, milling, milking, butter making and eggs hatching. They were shown sides of meat, different varieties of vegetables and learned about the many uses of wool.
An area was provided to give an idea of the huge range of traditional rural crafts which are still being practised to varying degrees today. These included felt making, dry stone walling, iron working, stick making and many others. The Hawk and Owl Trust was represented in this section with Hawk and Owl Trust Conservation Officer for the South West Chris Sperring. Chris talked about owls and wildlife and dissected owl pellets with the children.

Clearly Appealing
I have a '95 GMC Jimmy that the clearcoat is peeling in spots. I want to rattle-bomb (spray paint) the outside similar to how you did the Rescued Wrangler. Are there any precautions or tips I need to know?
Kyle Hunter
Via email
If the clearcoat is peeling heavily in areas, use 120- or 150-grit sandpaper on it. Once the area is smoothed out, spray on a coat of automotive primer. The goal is to build back the area you knocked down. Before I paint, I like to go over the rig with an orbital sander with a 320-grit pad. Be sure to wipe the rig down well with acetone before painting as well.
Limit Straps and IFS
I have an '03 Ford Explorer XLT that's four-wheel drive and rides on 32-inch-tall tires. I want it to be a good all-around on- and off-road SUV. Before someone says I should just buy a Jeep, I am 7-foot and 300 pounds. I have not found a Jeep that I can even fit in. The Explorer I fit in just fine. I just put on BTF's 3-inch leveling spacers and they suggested I install limit straps. How do I know which kind and size needed?
Would it be better to install taller springs and struts? I was also wondering about wheel spacers. Maybe after I install a 3-inch body lift I could put on a 35- or 37-inch tire. Would the spacers affect the axle gearing in addition to the taller tire size? On the subject of IFS and IRS, will parts from any straight-axle rig work, or are there any specific axle manufactures that make better parts for them? I am still deciding on whether to install limited-slips or selectable lockers. I noticed on the ARB website that they only list a locker for the rear of my Explorer, so that may be my only option.

A limit strap works exactly as you would imagine it would. The strap's sole purpose is to limit the suspension travel so it does not overextend and cause damage to the drivetrain and suspension components. Finding out what length of limit strap you will need requires drooping or decompressing the suspension to the point just before the suspension and driveline components are in a bind. While limiting your suspension travel may sound counterproductive for an off-road rig, it is actually a smart way to preserve your rig's parts. You won't go far off-road with a broken 4x4.
Most limit straps require welding on tabs to which the straps actually bolt to. As you alter your rig, it is possible to swap out the strap lengths to increase or decrease the amount of travel. The position at which you mount the limit straps and tabs will also factor in to what length you will need. Companies such as Poly Performance (www.polyperformance.com) offer a variety of lengths and types of limit straps that can be used on your application.
Wheel spacers will not affect your gearing, though spacing your rims out will alter the vehicle's stance and turning radius. The aftermarket for your generation Explorer hasn't quite taken off like the early-gen SUVs, but it seems to be getting better. As far as aftermarket axle upgrades, RCV Performance (www.rcvperformace.com) is currently your best option. RCV specializes in custom high-angle CV axleshafts that can accommodate large amounts of travel as well as handle the stress loads of a larger tire. An ARB Air Locker (www.arbusa.com) placed in the rear of your rig would be money well spent over a limited slip, as the locking action of the differential when engaged will deliver more performance gains off-road.
Front Blocks
Please disregard if this is a stupid question, but I would like to know why I can't run front lift blocks? In Florida, I see a bunch of guys using them on mud trucks. I have been told I just need to weld the block to the axle and that it will be OK. I am 16 and looking to build my first mud truck. Lift kits are expensive and it seems like lift blocks would be a cheaper way to lift my Blazer for now.
Ethan Bellmore
Via email
I completely understand how the allure of an inexpensive lift can draw you in. I too have encountered sky-high mud rigs with front lift blocks and cringed at some of the "home brewed" engineering that survives under the mega-swamp machines. To understand why front lift blocks are dangerous and a bad idea, you simply need to look at it from a basic physics perspective. Whether driving off-road or cruising down the freeway, your vehicle creates a certain amount of rolling momentum. Whenever the brakes are applied, nearly 70 percent of the vehicle's weight is transferred forward, putting extreme stress on the front axle and suspension components.
When you add a front block into the equation, it elevates the leverage point on the front axle, causing the caster-shift to become even more dramatic. These forces can be enough to actually expel the front block out from between the axle and leaf spring. As you can imagine, an ejecting lift block can result in extreme damage to you, your rig, and presumably anyone in a close proximity. Sure, some argue that welding the front blocks to the axle can eliminate the block from shooting out.
The main issue is that welding cast material isn't easy and generally requires someone with experience and the correct tools to create a safe and reliable weld. Even with the block welded, it doesn't change the fact that the higher perch has increased the leverage point on the axle. Raising the leaf-spring mount on the front axle will also intensify the effects of lateral force, which can make for sketchy handling on- and off-road. Axlewrap, along with increased spring deflection are another set of issues now lumped in with the blocks. Ultimately, front lift blocks are dangerous and not worth the time and risk.

Triple Duty
I have a question about buying a used truck. I live in Rockford, Michigan and the family and I love to go to the Silver Lake Dunes. Anyway, I would like to buy a used truck to drive on the dunes as well as be a daily driver that's able to pull a 20- to 28-foot camper trailer. I don't have either at the present time. I'm researching what would be my best bang-for-the-buck truck. What are some of the things the truck should have? What kind of truck would be best? The family consists of me and my wife, our three daughters (10, 9, and 5) and two big dogs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Via email
It sounds like you are in the need of a used ¾- or 1-ton truck. While there are plenty of brands to choose from, the Dodge Ram Mega Cab might be the right platform for you and your sizable family. I would look for one fitted with the 5.9L Cummins diesel engine as it would offer you plenty of power for towing and wheeling. Depending on the mileage and use, you may find that the automatic transmission will need a rebuild. If this is the case, look to upgrade with an aftermarket company that specializes in transmissions such as ATS Diesel Performance (www.atsdiesel.com) or North American Diesel Performance (www.nadp.ca). Both of the aforementioned companies can build you a nearly bulletproof transmission, which will be important to handle the stresses of lugging the heavy rig in the dunes and pulling a large trailer.
The built transmission will also allow you to confidently install a mild performance programmer, which can net you more power and fuel economy. Another piece of the equation will be a suspension lift. The Ram has a decently-sized wheelwell that can clear a 35-inch tire with only a mild leveling kit (when matched with the stock wheel). When aired down, the 35s should work fine for your off-road needs. I would stick with some sort of traditional or mildly aggressive all-terrain tire. If you don't mind spending the money for a higher-end suspension system and want an even larger tire, companies like Carli Suspension (www.thecarlisuspension.com) and BDS Suspension (www.bds-suspension.com) both make 6-inch kits which create room for much larger tires and also help with getting the land yacht that is the Mega Cab, a little higher off of the ground.
Grand Guy
I enjoyed your article on the '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee in the July '13 issue. What configuration would you recommend if one was to get the diesel? I am not that knowledgeable in this subject.
Steve Davis
Via email
The 3.0L EcoDiesel engine option starts with the Limited model line and is not available in the less expensive Laredo models. For that reason you will need to look at a Limited, Overland, or Summit model. While all three are extremely well-equipped, I would opt for the Limited as it is the least expensive. The main option I would go for would be Quadra-Drive II with the electronic limited-slip rear differential. If you plan to use the 7,000-pound towing capacity, then the Quadra-Lift air suspension option will be worth opting for as well. Special trim packages and add-ons are available, but that's all up to you and what you are willing to invest in your new Jeep.
Tow Limit
I have an '00 Chevy ½-ton that's equipped with the 5.3L V-8 and automatic transmission. I am currently debating whether I can use the truck for a mobile pressure washing business that I would like to start. The truck would need to haul a trailer that I figure will weigh nearly 10,000 pounds fully loaded. Can my truck pull this much weight? It will likely only be for short distances, on mostly flat ground, until I can afford to trade it for a heavier-duty truck.
Karl Anderson
Via email
Pulling is only half the equation, stopping is the bigger issue. The tow ratings on your truck vary, but a '00 Chevy ½-ton truck that's equipped with an extended cab and four-wheel drive has max tow rating of around 7,500 pounds. Is it possible to tow a 10,000-pound trailer for a short distance? Yes. Would l recommend it? No. Stopping that sort of weight will be challenge for your ½-ton, especially at highway speeds.
Your rear springs will also sag heavily, or even bottom out under the load. Many of the current late-model ½-ton trucks are capable of pulling a 10,000-pound trailer, but if you are pulling that type of load frequently, I strongly suggest making the move to a ¾-ton as soon as you have the chance. Also keep in mind that towing over your vehicle rating is illegal in most states and can net you a sizeable fine.
Is Cheap Really Cheap?
I've been a subscriber for a few years now and want your opinion on building a '96 Land Rover Discovery as a trail truck. My buddies suggested I ditch it and get a Jeep Cherokee XJ instead, but they are hard to find in solid shape for cheap. I can pick up a Rover with no rust and in good shape for pretty cheap. Any thoughts on this truck?
Jason Filipiak
Via email
Without question there is an enthusiast following for the Land Rover Discovery. In fact, we wrote about the Disco and common fixes and upgrades for it in the February '09 issue. You can find that article online at www.fourwheeler.comunder the tech section. I won't try and talk you out of building one, but I don't want you to think that it is going to be cheap. Sure, your initial purchase price might not be too bad, but replacement and aftermarket parts for the Land Rover are expensive and can be difficult to locate.
You might have to spend a little more to find an XJ that's in good condition, but the low cost of aftermarket parts and overwhelming support for the XJ places it ahead of the Rover in my book. I'm all for building unique rigs, but if cheap is what you are after, the Land Rover is not it.
Sandless Painting
For the 'Burb painting guy (Techline, Sept '13), here is my XJ's rattle-can paint job. I used Rust-Oleum's sand color in a satin finish. I had a 20-year-old gray factory paint job with almost no clearcoat left. I prepped the surface by washing the Jeep with Simple Green and then used acetone to thoroughly wipe the XJ down. No sanding. I painted two-to-three light coats to eliminate lines. The paint sticks awesome, even after three years, to most of my skeptic's surprise. The only touchup I've had to do was to cover trail damage.

Sanding isn't always a necessity, but for many, it's the only way to achieve a smooth and even finish. Sometimes you just have to shake the can and see what sticks!

There's air conditioning, which my instructor suggests is left in for the 'not so fit' drivers. Among which he can count me, my pie-added bulk scraping through the medical required before being allowed to drive the GT3. It's tight, as it is in all racing cars, but the gullwing doors do make getting in easier, popping both feet in then swinging down by hanging onto the cage. Strapping in is the usual breathe in and click palaver, and rather than shift the seat the pedals and steering are moved towards you. Better for weight distribution and easier for access.
type his name and GT3 into YouTube) sounds similarly knackered after clambering into the passenger seat. And apparently he has a habit of jogging around tracks - mentioning last time he was at Spa he ran up Eau Rouge. Flat out, I hope.
While trying not to freak Patrick out with heavy breathing I'm taking in all the buttons - 39 - and practising my race face. I'm not overly concerned with the buttons, Patrick taking care of the essential ones, though I've taken note not to press the one numbered 13. It's in case you need to get out if you roll it, pressing it activating the explosive hinges on the doors. There'll be no rolling today though, hopefully, not least as AMG has the sense to introduce the GT3 to customers at the Groß-Dölln driving centre, a former Russian military air base in old East Germany. And my race face? Probably a look akin to terror, no matter how hard I try.
Various tracks have been set up, the one we're using being at the East end of the runway (in the darker portion on Google Maps if you input Driving Center Groß-Dölln and look at the satellite image). Other activities are going on around us, amusingly there are some army people out drifting Unimogs and eight-wheeled trucks for giggles on a skid pan. It's quite a place.
Juddering out onto the track with the transmission shunting and suspension bouncing I slip the clutch in an attempt to smooth things out. Racing cars don't do slow very well. The GT3 feels entirely different to the road car I've done ten or so sighting laps in. Sitting far lower the difference in intensity is like shorting an AA battery then grabbing an electric fence. The steering is so much more responsive and the feel so much greater. Why road cars can't offer this sort of, fine linear weighting, delicacy and precision remains a constant source of bewilderment and annoyance.
That's not to say driving is in any way a watered-down experience. Patrick gives tips, but he's largely quiet and lets me drive the SLS AMG GT3 as hard as I can. Revelling in the way it so quickly changes direction, shifts so quickly and washes off its speed it's actually relatively easy to drive, nowhere near as daunting, edgy or intimidating as you might expect from a race-winning machine. That's deliberate, as it's a car that's meant to be bought and raced by 'gentleman' racers. My sessions on track are punctuated by breaks every six-seven laps with an opportunity to check out telemetry data and discuss where I could improve my technique, and most importantly go faster.
Thing is though, I'm knackered, despite that air conditioning and the friendliness of the car. Forget 24 hours in one of these, 24 laps has me pretty much broken. It's not just me either, with even the fittest in the group waning from the intense mental fatigue of learning a track and experiencing a proper, competitive racing car. Tired, yes, but still wanting more, and wishing I was wealthy enough to drop €334,000 on one of these and take it racing. It'd be competitive, too, though perhaps not with me driving it; one of the cars being used here still wearing its racing colours having just returned from a podium in the Spa 24 hour race.

This is the time of year when holiday traditions are forged. For many of us, an annual performance of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is part of our scrapbook of holiday memories. For several years, a small group of Evergreen Players veterans have created their own yuletide tradition by offering up heartfelt and oftentimes hilarious staged readings of the holiday classic at Center/Stage.
In 1941, the United Service Organizations, or USO, was founded to provide entertainment to troops around the world. Perhaps the most famous performer who toured with the USO was Bob Hope. Over the course of his career, Hope appeared in or hosted almost 200 USO performances, including annual Christmas tours for 35 consecutive years. This year, in the spirit of the holiday, the Evergreen Children's Chorale performed a USO-type variety show called "A Passport in Song."
In the last 25 years, Disney has brought to life some of the most magical stories of our time. "The Little Mermaid" is quite possibly the most magical of all Disney animations, packed with undersea orchestras and the iconic story of star-crossed loves, Ariel the mermaid and Eric the Prince. Add a live theatrical component to this show, and the magic is off the charts. Rocky Mountain Academy of Evergreen is excited to bring this show to the stages of Evergreen on Nov. 16 and 17.
To be a storyteller is to convey events in words, images and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment. This is a simplified definition. A true storyteller makes others experience emotion through her images or improvisation.
Art and music have walked hand in hand for thousands of years — music often inspiring visual images and art bringing to life a deeper level of music's themes. In the case of Evergreen pianist Peter Simon and painter Susan Simon, art and music have lived happily together for decades as husband and wife. In this unprecedented collaboration, Simon and Simon will team up for one afternoon to create a unique experience of art and music at Evergreen's Center/Stage Theater.
We all love a fractured fairy tale — perhaps even more than the original. There is something satisfying about turning the original story filled with morals and happily-ever-afters into a spoof with hilarious missteps. Such is the case in StageDoor Theatre's high school production of "Once Upon a Mattress." Running through Nov. 10, this show, based loosely upon Hans Christian Andersen's tale, is sure to win your hearts.
Artists draw their inspiration from a variety of places. Some travel to exotic locations in search of inspiring images. Others choose to stay much closer to home, seeking inspiration in the trees and wildlife of our Colorado town. Brandy Llewellyn, an Evergreen resident and artist, straddles two worlds in her search for artistic inspiration. Brandy and her husband spend winters in Colorado and summers in Sanibel Island, Fla. Having spent many years in U.S. coastal areas as a child, Llewellyn turned her fascination with the sea into a full-fledged love of coastal and maritime art.
The Evergreen Gallery downtown celebrates 25 years this month with two signature events that are sure to have art aficionados and appreciators buzzing. In celebration of its silver anniversary, the Evergreen Gallery is hosting a silent auction and an anniversary sale featuring more than 25 locally and nationally noted artists.

Tarasenko Named Rookie of the Monthby Staff Writer / St. Louis Blues
NEW YORK - St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko, who led all rookies in scoring with 9 points (5 goals, 4 assists) in seven games, has been named the NHL Rookie of the Month for January.
Tarasenko edged Tampa Bay Lightning center Cory Conacher (3-6--9 in six games), Edmonton Oilers center Nail Yakupov (4-1--5 in seven games), Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz (2-3--5 in seven games) and Montreal Canadiens center Alex Galchenyuk (1-4--5 in six games).
Tarasenko, 21, made his NHL debut on Jan. 19 and became just the second player in Blues history to score a pair of goals in his first game (Doug Palazzari, 1974-75) in a 6-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.
He notched 3 points (1 goal, 2 assists) in his next game, a 4-3 shootout win over the Nashville Predators on Jan. 21, becoming the first Blues rookie in nearly 35 years to record 5 points in his first two NHL contests (Wayne Babych, 1978-79).
Tarasenko closed the month with a four-game point streak, capped by his fifth goal of the season in a 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Jan. 31.
The Yaroslavl, Russia native was drafted by the Blues in the first round (16th overall) of the 2010 Entry Draft.

#buy a used car
Buying Advice – Cars
When is the best time to buy?
Now is a great time to buy a used car.
According to vehicle information group HPI, the prices of second-hand motors are lower than they have been for a long time, but the kinds of deals available at the moment are unlikely to be around forever.
Indeed, the latest findings from the organisation found used values are already beginning to creep up again. According to HPI, buyers are continuing to look for good condition, sensible mileage models, but demand means the most popular vehicles are getting thin on the ground.
Demand for certain types of car can be seasonal too. 4x4s and estate cars are more popular when there's ice, snow and flooded roads, so it is best to purchase these cars in the spring or summer.
Conversely it is easier to sell a sports car or convertible when the weather is warmer.
So you have decided the time is right, and you have found a car through Exchangeandmart.co.uk that takes your fancy. What checks should you carry out?

Sinful Robot Developing Adult Encounters for VR
The Oculus Rift VR headset isn't even out yet, and enterprising developers are already excited at the prospects of providing more adult entertainment.
There was a lot of hype behind the Kickstarter for the Oculus Rift VR headset earlier this year. Though only development kits are being worked on at the moment, there are plans to release the headset to consumers in the future. With companies like Valve and Epic, as well as developers like John Carmack, already behind the project, it's easy to see why so many people are excited about the prospects of an affordable 3D virtual reality display.
Of course, there are also some other parties interested in creating software for the Oculus Rift. Case in point, Sinful Robot, a new start-up looking to "create the world's most immersive virtual reality erotic encounters." But as the Escapist discovered, Sinful Robot is going to need some help. The developer is currently looking to hire a bevy of 3D artists, programmers, and animators for their vision, with the promise of helping create "a very exciting & unique project that has the potential to become a global business leveraging revolutionary and cutting-edge technologies."
Adult entertainment is still one of the largest industries in the U.S., and has led the charge in new media going back as far as VHS. Perhaps the founders of Sinful Robot are onto something, and really will be on forefront of the next evolution in erotica. They won't be able to do it without help though, so if you've got the necessary skills, this seems like the perfect opportunity to work on your
digital breast skills resume.

Dana is the founder of Splinter Reeds, a San Francisco-based reed quintet, and has performed with the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Alarm Will Sound, Ensemble Dal Niente, Calefax Quintet, Rushes Ensemble, Pamela Z, Anthony Braxton's Tri-Centric Orchestra, Lucky Dragons, Amsterdam Contemporary Ensemble, Callithumpian Consort and Harvard Group for New Music, among others.

Dana's tireless commitment to expand the modern bassoon repertoire through collaborations with composers from around the globe has led to dozens of new solo, chamber and electroacoustic works. She is currently working with composers George Lewis, Paula Matthusen, Sam Pluta and Peter V. Swendsen on a solo program of works for bassoon and live electronics.
In 2009, Dana created the New Music Bassoon Fund, an ongoing consortium commissioning podium dedicated to large scale works for bassoon. Through this ground-breaking organization, Dana invited 30 bassoonists to participate in the project's first commission, an hour-long composition titled, Rushes, for seven bassoons by composer and Bang on a Can co-founder, Michael Gordon. Dana premiered Rushes in Fall 2012 with a hand picked ensemble of the most innovative bassoonists in the U.S. and continues to tour it around the world. Hailed as "fascinating…Gordon's simple transformations achieve, in all their simplicity, a great expressiveness" (NRC-Dutch National Newspaper), Rushes has been described as an evening length tour-de-force.
Recent concert highlights include performances at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, Ravinia Music Festival, Belgium's Concertgebouw Brugge, Berlin's Universität der Künste, San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, November Music in the Netherlands, Brooklyn's Roulette, the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and Amsterdam's World Minimal Music Festival at the Muziekgebouw aan' t IJ.

Dana has also been heard on radio programs including NPR's All Things Considered, Chicago Public Radio's Relevant Tones and the BBC Radio's Hear and Now.
Dana is currently the Director of Professional Development and Associate Professor of Contemporary Music & Improvisation at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and teaches during the summers at the Walden School Young Musicians Program where she can also be seen performing with the Walden School Players. She has presented masterclasses and workshops on topics surrounding contemporary music and improvisation for students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, and University of California at Berkeley among others.

Veteran Voice is a weekly publication designed to provide information to and about veterans to veterans and to the broader community. Veterans are an integral part of their Florida communities, which currently have individual organizations of their own, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Vietnam Veterans of America and many other groups with a narrow focus, but no convenient way to connect to a wider population of veterans and to the community in general within a limited geographic area, their community. The mission of Veteran Voice is to publish a weekly source of information that will provide, in one place, a listing of resources available to veterans, articles about changes in policies or organizations affecting veterans and events of interest to veterans as well as articles about veterans of interest to the general public. Veteran Voice LLC is organized as a partnership of experienced newspaper executives with an interest in veterans and in the communities of Florida veterans and friends. VV is a start-up intended to address a perceived lack of information readily available to veterans on programs and policies affecting them and objective reporting of veteran affairs to the public. To our knowledge, and based on comments from lead ers of local veterans organizations, there was no media or website currently meeting this need until the launch of VeteranVoice. We hope you agree, and will support this publication with your subscription. Without subscriptions there will be a limited number of people we can help, without which this mission will not be realized. As part of our commitment to supporting local veteran communities, our readers and subscribers.
