2013 Chevrolet Spark: Introduction
The new 2013 Chevrolet Spark's mission is to make America's youth fall in love with a Chevy, so that they keep buying Chevys, or Buicks, or GMCs, or Cadillacs in the future. You see, General Motors has determined that if it can attract young buyers, and keep them as customers in the years and decades that follow, the loyalty will translate into $500,000 in revenue over that customer's lifespan.
This represents a remarkable and rare example of long-term vision and strategy for a large, publicly traded corporation, and it explains why the new Spark doesn't look or feel as inexpensive as its price might lead you expect.
Before we get to all the details about the new 2013 Chevy Spark, you might be interested in knowing that 2011 was the best year in 100 years for Chevrolet. So yeah, Chevy is better off now than it was four years ago.
Nevertheless, Chevy isn't shifting into neutral and taking its foot off the gas. The Spark is the first of 13 all new or significantly updated Chevy models set to arrive by the end of 2013.
As for the Chevy Spark, Americans are the last to get their hands on this global mini-compact hatchback. More than 600,000 have already been sold around the world, and for 2013 the Spark rolls into U.S. dealerships ready to serve customers looking for new-car smell, a new-car warranty, and new-car technology for between $13,000 and $17,000.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Pricing and Trim Levels
The 2013 Chevy Spark is sold in LS, 1LT and 2LT trim levels. The base price for the Spark LS with a manual gearbox is $12,995. A Spark 2LT with all available features runs $16,990.
Standard equipment for the Spark LS includes 15-inch aluminum wheels, air conditioning, power windows, a tilt steering wheel, a stereo with an auxiliary audio input jack, cloth seats, and a trip computer.
Upgrade to the 1LT ($14,495) and the Spark comes with a color touchscreen radio, two additional speakers, a USB port, three months of free satellite radio, and Chevy MyLink connectivity technology. Cruise control, floor mats, power exterior mirrors, power door locks with remote keyless entry, an outside temperature display, and infotainment system controls mounted on the steering wheel are also included on the 1LT model.
The Spark 2LT is equipped with leatherette seats, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, roof rails, fog lights, sportier exterior styling, and unique machined-face aluminum wheels. The car in the photos is a Spark 2LT painted Techno Pink.
All 2013 Sparks are equipped with 10 airbags, antilock brakes with brake assist, traction control, and stability control. Automatic Crash Response, Crisis Assist, and Emergency Services are includes for the first six months through the standard OnStar telematics system.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Competition
Chevy thinks it has the mini-car market cornered with its all-new 2013 Chevrolet Spark, but then, given the current competitive set, this isn't necessarily a challenge for a four-passenger, five-door hatchback that a company representative called "bubbly fun."
The FIAT 500, Scion iQ, and Smart fortwo were named as the Spark's primary competitors. On that basis, the Chevy is clearly the best car in the class in terms of passenger room. Four full-size adults will, in fact, fit into the Spark. But the Fiat 500 and Smart ForTwo are emotional choices that frequently transcend socioeconomic strata, whereas the Spark is more likely to be purchased solely on the basis of price.
Chevy also sees the Spark as a better alternative to small used cars, citing the warranty, safety features, and technology as key upgrades over older models selling for about the same amount of money. Again, I'm not convinced the 2,269-lb. Spark makes more sense than a certified pre-owned used car with more room, more power, and more weight for greater crash compatibility on SUV-clogged American highways.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Competition
Chevrolet sees the new 2013 Spark's styling as an advantage in the mini-car class, and having spent several hours with it, we'll confirm that the Spark looks better in person than it does in pictures. But let me share a little story from our day plying the city streets of West Los Angeles.
My co-driver and I were seeking a good spot to swap seats, and we stopped in front of Palisades Charter High School as classes were getting out. Students were lined up along the curb, chatting, punching their fingers into their phones, probably waiting for nannies to come and fetch them. We watched to see if anyone noticed the Jalapeno Green Spark we were driving. Finally, a blonde girl saw the car, began to giggle, told her friends to look, and then they all started to snicker.
That's probably not the reaction Chevy is looking for with its new youth-oriented mini-car. But then again, these kids are probably getting the keys to a new BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes C-Class when they turn 16 – it was Pacific Palisades, after all – so take Blondie's reaction to the Spark with a grain of salt.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Interior
I am not a small person. I'm six-feet tall, and I weigh at least one preschooler more than I should. Yet, I was perfectly comfortable inside of the narrow 2013 Chevy Spark, even in the back seat, except for the 2LT model's leatherette seats, which are, apparently, designed to marinate occupants in their own juices on warm, muggy summer days.
My 2LT test car's driver seat featured a manual height adjuster, which provided a tall, commanding position behind a thick-rimmed, leather-wrapped, tilt steering wheel that was pleasing to grip.
The front passenger's seat also sits high off of the floor, providing good thigh support, as do the rear seats. Because of the way the dashboard is shaped, taller people can easily move the front seats a little bit forward in their tracks to allow similarly sized passengers to tuck in behind them. From this perspective, the Spark has its primary competition beat by a mile, and could even battle subcompact and compact cars for overall room and comfort.
The Spark's controls are easy to master, though the Chevy MyLink color touchscreen radio proved challenging for me. Developed with LG, the seven-inch screen and MyLink technology are designed to be a "simple and safe" extension of the driver's smartphone. Through a paired smartphone, MyLink runs Pandora and Stitcher apps, and Chevrolet says a new Tune-in app will be available during the first quarter of 2013.
MyLink employs three touch-capacitive buttons on the dashboard underneath the screen combined with touchscreen buttons on the display. I had trouble with the touch-capacitive controls, which did not respond to dry fingertips or to authoritative stabs, but the touchscreen is large, simple, mostly free of glare, and features pleasing high-resolution graphics.
What I really like is MyLink's new BringGo application, which is the future of in-car navigation. In exchange for $50, you can install the BringGo app on your smartphone, pair your smartphone to MyLink, and run the app via the MyLink touchscreen. It works just like one of those mega-buck hard-drive navigation systems from the factory, but it costs just 50 bucks. BringGo will be available to Spark buyers in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The Spark's 11.4 cu-ft. cargo area is small, but Chevy says it will hold four carry-on roll-aboard suitcases with no problem. Fold the rear seats down, and the Spark holds 31.2 cu-ft. of your junk in its trunk.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Powertrain and Fuel Economy
A 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine is the only one offered in the 2013 Spark, and it musters – barely – 84 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 83 lb-ft. of torque at 4,200 rpm. A five-speed manual gearbox is standard, with a four-speed automatic available as an option.
Row your own gears, and the EPA says you'll get 32 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway. Let the transmission do all the work, and those fuel economy estimates fall to 28 in the city and 37 on the highway. As usual, those estimates are optimistic. During our driving on the streets of West L.A., the Spark's manual transmission returned 28 mpg, while the automatic provided 24 mpg.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Driving Impressions
One might conjecture that those unimpressive fuel economy numbers could be due to enthusiastic driving conducted by automotive journalists testing acceleration capabilities, but given the daily gridlock of L.A., such opportunities to wring the engine for all it was worth were few and far between.
Rather, I can assure you that they are partially the result of drivers who continually mashed the pedal to the floor in an effort to avoid serving as a slow-moving Techno Pink traffic cone or becoming a Jalapeno-colored smudge on the pavement.
In city driving under part-throttle acceleration, the Spark feels sprightly. The thing is, if you mash the gas pedal, such as when trying to enter traffic, or when switching lanes to go around traffic, or when making a left turn across multiple lanes of oncoming traffic, the Spark's diminutive engine doesn't really produce much extra oomph. In this car, you'll always want to leave extra room. And you'll never want to try to beat a light.
The manual transmission proves more satisfying, because the driver has greater control over the power curve. The shifter's throws are long, but shift action is pleasing and refined with little of the ropy, vague gear engagement typical of cheap, small cars.
Hill start assist is standard on the Spark. We decided to test it on North Kings Road off of Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, a steep residential street. I brought the Spark to a stop, took my right foot off of the brake pedal, revved the engine, and began releasing the clutch. As the clutch came up, the hill start assist turned off, and the car sputtered and almost stalled before struggling to accelerate up the grade. If you live someplace hilly, you are going to want the automatic transmission. I guarantee it.
The Spark's electric steering is nicely weighted and quick enough to make the Spark feel lively and nimble. Moreover, it is superior to what Fiat installs in the 500 – even the performance-tuned Abarth model. As is expected, the car provides a very tight turning radius, which makes it easy to park almost anywhere.
A set of front disc/rear drum brakes proved better to employ than their humble description might suggest, the brake pedal inspiring more confidence than we've come to expect from such components.
On L.A.'s aging pavement and patched blacktop, the Spark's simplistic compound crank rear suspension produced more jouncing and jittering than we preferred. That said, the lightweight Spark gripped well thanks to its 15-inch wheels and tires, and body roll was nicely controlled in corners. You can pitch this little car into a turn without feeling like you're about to roll it over.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Final Thoughts
Placed within the context of its direct competition and its price point, the new 2013 Chevrolet Spark is an appealing and technologically sophisticated new entry for first-time buyers, city dwellers, or households needing a second car for errand running.
That said, the Spark desperately needs a turbocharger, if for no other reason than to generate more torque across a broader rev range. Real-world fuel economy needs to improve, because Spark buyers choosing this with expectations of great gas mileage are likely to be disappointed. I'd also prefer cloth seats to the sticky leatherette that comes standard on the Spark 2LT. Finally, the Spark will need to excel in crash tests to be worthy of recommendation to teenagers, and even then the 2,269-lb. curb weight is a liability in a nation where people routinely buy vehicles that weigh twice that amount.
2013 Chevrolet Spark: Pros and Cons
- Genuine comfort for four adults
- Chevrolet MyLink color touchscreen radio
- Coming BringGo navigation application
- Interior layout, design, and materials
- Impressive value
- Disappointing fuel economy
- Disappointing engine power
- 2LT model's leatherette seats no fun on hot days
- Light curb weight potential liability in collisions with heavier vehicles

I havent' visted this site in so long this is the first time I'm seeing the new look!
The reveal to me was just ok. It looked more like a bunch of hypocrites pointing the finger at one person when they should be looking themselves in the mirror. Chelsea is lashing out but she will come around at the 11th hour in soap fashion. Like several of you, i'm pretty tired of the same storyline for Chadam over and again where Chelsea falls for his lies and gets mad. That's how Villy used to be and it got pretty dang annoying by year 3. The one saving grace is that Sage had a boy and she named it after that vile man Victor lol so I have a good feeling that Chadam will have a daughter named Hope.

2. Is this thought empowering or disempowering me?
Many of us operate on autopilot, often relying on ingrained thinking patterns and self-talk to direct our day-to-day lives. The problem with that, of course, is that these patterns may not be serving us very well. The way we think about things might be sabotaging our happiness, effectiveness and sense of fulfillment, yet we persist in thinking the same thoughts because they are familiar and comfortable.
We can help snap ourselves out of ingrained thought patterns by first identifying them and then asking, "Is this thought empowering or disempowering me?" says Debbie Ford, author of The Right Questions: Ten Essential Questions to Guide You to an Extraordinary Life (HarperOne, 2004).
For example, say you regularly experience "blame thoughts" when your spouse leaves old coffee grounds in the coffeemaker. When you isolate your thought ("It's all his fault!") and ponder Ford's question, you will find that what you initially take for empowerment ("I'm right and he's wrong!") is, in fact, a disempowering, self-victimizing thought. The thought only isolates you further ("Me vs. Spouse"), deepens your resentment ("He is thoughtless and doesn't care about me!") and leaves you mired in frustration because you're no closer to finding a real, workable solution.
If you can shift your thinking away from blame and instead focus on solutions ("What's the best solution to the coffee-ground conundrum?"), you will feel — and be — infinitely more empowered. "We are always moving toward something or staying stuck where we are," Ford explains. When we can identify how our thinking is keeping us stuck, we can adjust those thoughts.
3. How can I leverage this experience to become even better?
When faced with difficult circumstances, leadership expert Robin Sharma, author of The Leader Who Had No Title (Simon & Schuster, 2010), suggests thinking strategically. Sure, a situation may be tough, but there's almost always a way of reworking a negative scenario so it can catapult you forward.
Take the current economic crisis: While the recession has had countless negative effects, it continues to hold opportunities for those entrepreneurs who are willing to think beyond the rhetoric of "times are hard, money's tight, and nobody's hiring."
"Every challenging experience carries an opportunity to leverage it into an even better situation than before it occurred," Sharma says. Even personal loss, he notes, brings our attention to resources we didn't know we had. The secret is to focus on the opportunity, not obsess about the problem.

It's Tuesday. I'm on the
I'm staying in a house down here, right on the river, with Fred Roumbanis and J Todd Tucker. Yesterday I got up early and went to an isolated ramp to put my boat in the water. Across from the ramp is an Ace Hardware store with a dumpster alongside of it. I heard a noise and looked up to see a black bear running across the street and into the woods.
It's the closest I've ever been to one, and I spend a lot of time outdoors. As if that wasn't enough, a few minutes later I saw a manatee. It was right alongside my boat. I know that's not all that unusual but they're incredible creatures, nonetheless.
Not too long after that, I saw a bunch of alligators. Again, that's not all that unusual but they were big. We see more alligators on the
As the day went along, I noticed bald eagles flying around as well as several other kinds of birds, both big and small. I don't care how many eagles you've seen in your lifetime; they're spectacular. Whoever decided to make the bald eagle our national bird and emblem knew what he was doing. It captures the American spirit perfectly. (I just looked it up. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on June 20, 1782.)
Then, just before dark, I was close to an old cabin on the bank when I saw a bobcat. I've seen him before in the same place so I wasn't surprised. I'm thinking he lives underneath it. Still, you don't see many of them. It's a treat.
That's a lot of wildlife in one day if you stop to think about it.
Actually, most of the state is like that — heavily populated areas surrounded by rural habitat. No matter where you're at you're not too far from people or critters. That's one of the reasons I like it as much as I do.
But as cool as the wildlife is, we all know they won't let you weigh it in at the end of the day. This is still a business about bass. Let's hope I find the big ones.

So it is Week 2 of The Writing Workshop over at Sleep is for the Weak! I am choosing Prompt 2 for this week: "Why I want a ……….."
Why I Want A Smartphone!
I have never been particularly bothered about technology before and having the "latest" phone. I just have a basic mobile – I think it has a few games on it but I don't use it for anything other than texting & phoning! My boyfriend, Gary on the other hand is obsessed with the latest gadgets and has a monstrosity of a phone that doubles up as a computer, a sat nav and god knows what else!
But since I have started blogging and being active on Twitter I have felt a real need to have one of these phones! I get "itchy" when I'm away from the computer and can't check what's happening on Twitter or panic that I have new comments on my blog and won't be able to reply to them for hours…! Am I getting obsessed lol?
So I have decided that once my contract is up in September I am going to get one of these phones, so I can keep up with the blogosphere on the go! Imagine if we went away camping for the weekend and I didn't have any interent access…! Yikes!
I honestly have no idea what sort of phone I want – I don't need anything particularly fancy, just a good basic phone that lets me have reliable internet. Oh, I think I would need one that actually has keys to press – as Gary's one is touch screen and I find it soo hard to type texts etc!
So I am appealing to all you more experienced bloggers, who will no doubt have had one of these phones for years, to let me know what I should go for! What sort do you have and what are it's good and bad points? I'm not technology-savvy at all so I neeed help – there are so many models out there I don't know where to start! If I listen to the other half, he'll convince me I need an iPhone 4, then somehow he'll end up using it and giving me his cast off lol….
Get a blackberry! Get a blackberry! Get a blackberry!
I LOVE mine, I could never go back to a "normal" phone now! It's awesome! I love it!
Did I mention: get a blackberry!
I'm right with you. After three years of using Mr Goldfish's old phone, I finally got a brand new flip phone in November!
Less than three days later the Mr goes out an buys himself a new smart phone. I'd had mine less than a week and he already had something bigger and better! (He could have at leasts waited a few weeks so I had the nice new phone for a while!) Since then I've been quite jealous. He's always got his head down checking things on the internet while I can't. Completely drives me up the wall. And even better, since he changed providers my bill has doubled in price!
I REALLY want a smart phone. I can't justify it yet, but just you wait. I'm really hoping it will be in the next year!
And I'm sure Mr Goldfish will get something even more fantastic the day after.
after reading this you have made me want one too, i never even realised it before!
Haha.. I love your comment about cast-offs – my husband does that, not intentionally he says, but he'd get more use of it. He has an iPhone 3GS but wants the 4 – and I have a regular phone, and at this point wouldn't even mind his cast off iPhone, if only data plans weren't so expensive around here.. Oh well, we'll see.
The blackberry apparently is really nice, and not touchscreen, but I don't have firsthand experience.
Stopped in from Josie's.
ohhh i have always avoided excessive technology…until my BlackBerry arrived in my sticky mits
i love my blackberry~i have my e-mail pushed to it and e-mail friends, Twitter, text, i have four albums loaded onto it, can take photos and send them straight to Flickr and have gps and even have word on the move if i so wished to write an essay!
i am mighty happy with it and will upgrade to another BB when this contract is up
I don't know how I did it but I googled for my new phone. I found a service 'Find a Mobile' and I keyed in the features I wanted and got results back. I noted the model no. and went out and bought the hone. Couldn't find my way back to that service, technophobe me!
I understand what you're going through, because 2 weeks ago I too had a – well, there's no other word for it – shite mobile, and I upgraded and got a BlackBerry Curve. Whilst I do love it, and find it really useful, you're never out of touch, and it flashes at me furiously whenever I'm sent an email, status update or a tweet where I'm mentioned. So there's pros and cons. I enjoyed reading your blog this week xxx

Two counter-culture bikers set off from Los Angeles to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, meeting a cross-section of American characters en route.
Easy Rider
Released: 10 January 2000
Both Hopper's rasping but illuminating commentary and a frank and fascinating 67 minute documentary build a picture of a shoot every bit as dramatic as its resultant movie. In fact, there are endless parallels; they were engulfed in tribulation and chaos but driven by a vague vision of greatness. Hopper and Fonda would irrevocably fall out in a wired 16mm New Orleans sojourn, and a dreamy Fonda depicts an insane vision of him strumming an acoustic guitar naked in bed with co-stars Karen Black and Toni Basil, while Hopper in a blind fury was rolling around the hotel corridor trying to deck his cameraman, shrieking that Orson Welles may have failed to shoot Mardi Gras, but he wasn't going to. It's the stuff of legend.
Remastered for DVD, this is a glorious widescreen vision of a hot and bothered America, at once beautiful and lost. Yes, it has dated, but its pessimistic last gasp ("We blew it...") still carries a prescient sting.

ATLANTA, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IMRIS Inc. (NASDAQ: IMRS; TSX: IM) and Varian Medical Systems (NYSE: VAR) today announced that data presented here earlier this week at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting demonstrates the potential to direct state-of-the-art radiation treatments using diagnostic-quality MR images at each treatment session.
In a presentation to radiation oncology clinicians from around the globe, David Jaffray, PhD, a world-renowned radiation physicist at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and Director of the Techna Institute at the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto, described a dedicated MR-guided radiation therapy suite that will allow a magnetic resonance (MR) scanner mounted on ceiling rails to perform MR-guided brachytherapy and external beam radiation delivery. Currently being installed at his institution, this unprecedented combination is a joint development combining IMRIS' MR imaging with Varian's TrueBeam® system for image-guided radiotherapy and radiosurgery.
"Tightly integrating MR imaging with treatment is expected to allow us to increase the accuracy of radiation delivery and pursue research in the emerging field of adaptive radiation therapy – the next level of image-guided radiotherapy that seeks to modify the treatment in response to changes in patient anatomy," said Jaffray. The team at the Princess Margaret has been performing research on the use of MR in radiation therapy as well as studying how the MR and radiation treatment technologies can be made compatible.
"While it is premature to speak to the clinical benefits of the development," he added, "the technical advantage of enhanced visualiz

Queens Restaurant Week took a bite out of Atlas Park on Monday afternoon for its kickoff event.
Visitors brought their appetites, ready to get a helping of what the 12th Annual Queens Restaurant Week has to offer.
Several Queens restaurants came out to the Shops at Atlas Park handing out free samples, announcing their participation in this year's event. From Oct. 12 to 29, most of the 200 registered restaurants will be offering a three-course prix fixe dinner for $28 and lunch for $14 as part of Restaurant Week.
This event was created to give diners the chance to try a new restaurant at a reduced priced.
"I think people wait until this time of year to try a new restaurant that they may never have eaten at before," said Rob Mackay, director of public relations and director of Queens tourism for the Queens Economic Development Corporation. "It really is the best time to explore a new restaurant."
The vendors at the kickoff event included Shiro of Japan, Chili's, Vintage Curry, Christos Steak House, Connolly's Corner and Queens Brewery, which was named the official beer of Queens Restaurant Week.
Connolly's Corner, located in Maspeth, is participating in its first Queens Restaurant Week and was serving some of their ribs, salmon, salads and other dishes. The full-service restaurant has a 100-person party room, an outdoor beer garden and sports bar.
"We are proud of our food here and we want everyone to try it," said Bridget Criscuolo, general manager for Connolly's Corner. "Some of our signature dishes are our Jameson chicken, Bailey Irish Cream salmon and we have the best wings in Queens, I'm confident to say that."
Queens Brewery is entering its third Queens Restaurant Week and has recently moved their operation into Ridgewood from upstate New York.
"It makes a huge difference," said Nelson Rockefeller, founder of Queens Brewery, of moving into Queens. "It definitely solidifies our brand. It will feel much more done once all of the construction is done."

Re: HUGE AMATUER DEBUT - I Lost :(
Thanks everyone its been a day since and I trained today, I feel sharp and I went a lot harder in the gym, no coasting because my coaches might give me praise, its hardwork non-stop now. For the only negative comment, I think your a troll, but if your genuine i'll say this, to be specific the facebook event for the show had 457 people attending, it was a traditional boxing show which is staged at cambridge uni every year, the 106th event. Im sure you can imagine the atmosphere and thats what I was reffering to when I stated it was a "HUGE" debut. And ive I admitted I got beat up and bruised, why would I lie about my feelings going in? theres no logic in that. I was so calm, no nerves or jelly legs, the highlight was the ring walk when everyone started cheering and I held back a smile. I went in cool as a cucumber, I took a beating and walked out with my chin up and thats 100% truth. Goodbye to you sir, Thanks everyone else for your answers so far

Northwest MSSA 3rd Annual Kids Fishing Day
Type: Freshwater
Region: North West
Location: Gwynnbrook Pond
Northwest MSSA Chapter No. 4 MARYLAND FISHING CHALLENGE- Youth Component
The Northwest MSSA Chapter No. 4 hosted their 3rd Annual Kids Fishing Day on Saturday, May 19, at Gwynnbrook Pond. Organizer Harvey Riley said they hold this event to teach the kids when they are young so they continue fishing. In order to continue fishing, the MSSA Chapter provides a fishing rod and reel to all kids. It was another perfect weather day for this event, and the fish were biting early including the rainbow trout stocked for the event.
I was there to represent DNR - Fisheries in support of the Youth Component of the Maryland Fishing Challenge featuring Diamond Jim. Joey Stallings was the lucky youth angler randomly selected to move on to the finale on September 8, 2012. The finale is held in conjunction with the Maryland Seafood Festival at Sandy Point Park. Joey will be awarded one of the many fishing trips donated by our partners.

A night after producing a franchise-worst six-point second quarter, the Washington Wizards again spent the second half making up for their early mistakes.
And again they were left wondering why after a 99-93 loss Wednesday to the Toronto Raptors at Verizon Center.
"Why were we down double digits after the first quarter?" Wizards coach Ed Tapscott said. "The night before, why couldn't you play in the second quarter? I mean, we keep asking these questions. And that really becomes the crux of the issue. There are four quarters to the game, they're 12 minutes long and they're the same for everybody. So somehow we've got to find our way to fully play throughout the games so we have a chance to win."
With the loss, the Wizards (7-27) fell to 0-7 this season when playing the second game of a back-to-back. Washington lost to the Orlando Magic 89-80 on Tuesday when it had the poor second quarter.
Toronto also had to deal with some disadvantages. The Raptors played without starting point guard Jose Calderon, starting center Jermaine O'Neal and starting small forward in Jamario Moon, all out with injuries.
But the absences appeared to have little effect on the Raptors, who jumped out to a 19-6 lead in the first quarter and led by double digits the majority of game.
The Raptors made 70.6 percent of their shots in the first and lured the Wizards into a jump-shooting contest. Washington missed eight of its first 11 shots to fall behind.
"It's our own fault," Antawn Jamison said. "We know what we have to do to make it easier for us as a team, and right now we're not doing that. Back-to-back nights to be down by 20 points both nights and then try to crawl your way out, you've got to be a pretty special team to be able to do that."
Instead, the Wizards allowed the Raptors to shoot 54.4 percent from the field. They also let Toronto, which ranks 28th in the league in rebounding, claim a 39-28 advantage on the boards.
And despite forcing the Raptors into 20 turnovers, the Wizards couldn't capitalize and avoid errors of their own.
What made the Raptors' performance more impressive was that Toronto star forward Chris Bosh wasn't a factor until late in the game.
Andrea Bargnani, starting in place of O'Neal, led Toronto with seven first-quarter points on 3-for-4 shooting. The former No. 1 pick finished with 25 points to lead five double-digit scorers.
Jamison led Washington with a season-high 32 points and seven rebounds. Caron Butler added 15 points - only two of them coming in the fourth quarter - to go with six rebounds and six assists. Andray Blatche scored 12 points but managed only one rebound. Point guard Mike James contributed 10 points and four assists.
The feeble effort spoiled a memorable night for Jamison, who with his sixth rebound became one of eight active players with 14,000 points and 6,000 rebounds. He joins Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, Juwan Howard, Rasheed Wallace, Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki.
"I don't ever celebrate [milestones] until after the season," Jamison said. "They're one of those things that when it's all said and done, you look back and realize what you accomplish. Of course, you'd like to have it in a win, but let's try to go for 8,000 [rebounds] and keep going."

The City of Tallahassee submits the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to report the uses of federal housing assistance funds and the progress in reaching proposed housing goals in the past fiscal year. For specific CAPER reports from the federal Integrated Disbursement Information System (IDIS) please contact the Housing Division at 850-891-6500.
Each year the Annual Action Plan is prepared as the document that describes actions, activities and programs proposed during the next fiscal year to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the City's approved Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development.
The Annual Action Plan is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) must be developed by the City of Tallahassee in order to receive funding under the following programs:
The program assists low-income owners of homes that are owner-occupied to eliminate exterior code violations, and to improve and preserve neighborhoods at the same time.
The Consolidated Plan is a planning document that identified the City's overall housing and community development needs, and it outlines a strategy to address those needs.
The plan focuses specifically on the housing and community development needs of low- and moderate-income persons, as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
This plan is required by HUD and must be developed by local governments in order to receive funding under the following programs:
Tallahassee's Draft Consolidated Plan (PDF) proposed for the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2020 and Draft Annual Action Plan for the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016.
Tallahassee's Consolidated Plan (PDF) covers the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2015.
The goal of the Emergency Home Repair Program (EHRP) is to improve the living conditions of low-income homeowners by removing health and safety hazards and/or architectural barriers from their homes.
Each year new units are built for very-low income and low-income households in the City of Tallahassee to purchase. The City works with non-profit organizations called Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) to build the new units. More new units may be available through Inclusionary Housing.
Community Housing Development Organizations are non-profit agencies that are qualified to develop affordable housing for the community they serve. Federal money is set-aside for CHDOs each fiscal year.
To purchase a housing unit built by a CHDO, a household must meet all program requirements. There is an income limit and households must qualify for a home mortgage. The best way to get information about the new units being constructed is to contact the City's Housing Division at 891-6500.
The Tallahassee City Commission passed an ordinance in 2005, requiring new developments in certain areas of the city with 50 housing units or more, to sell 10% of their units at an affordable price. The sales price range is set by the ordinance. Developers are allowed to pay a fee instead of building the units. The money collected will then be used to build future affordable housing units.
To qualify for inclusionary housing units, your income must fall between 70% and 100% of area median income. This range is determined by the HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) income guidelines on an annual basis. To find out if you qualify, contact the Housing Division at 850-891-6540.
Households must qualify for a home mortgage loan. A household that makes less annual income than the range above may still qualify for an inclusionary housing unit if they can secure a sufficient home mortgage loan. Inclusionary housing units are subject to re-sale restrictions. For details about the inclusionary housing program or ordinance, please visit the Planning Department web page. You may also call the Housing Division at 891-6540 for information or to request an application by mail.
Committed to improving the quality of affordable housing, the City of Tallahassee allocates a substantial portion of its housing budget each year toward improving the stock of owner occupied housing.
The Local Housing Assistance Plan provides a summary of the housing strategies the City will fund with State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) money for state fiscal years 2010-2011 through 2012-2013. SHIP funds are used for home purchase, home preservation, disaster assistance, and new construction for ownership and rental.
The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) is a federal program passed in July 2008 as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act. Funds are used to purchase vacant, bank-owned foreclosed properties and rehabilitate them to return to productive use for affordable rental and homeownership housing. The majority of Tallahassee's funds must be used to acquire and rehabilitate housing units for rental to very low income households.
To assist low-income residents in purchasing a home, the City offers down payment and closing cost assistance to qualified applicants.
A loan of up to $8,000 is available for down payment or closing costs towards a new or existing home. For very low-income residents who qualify to purchase a home, an additional $5,000 loan is available.
The Tallahassee Lenders' Consortium (TLC) is a non-profit agency that administers the Purchase Assistance Program. In addition to the Purchase Assistance Program, TLC provides homebuyer education, credit and finance counseling, and assistance in selecting a mortgage lender. It is TLC's mission to provide affordable home ownership options, and serve as a resource to help citizens make the best possible decisions about finding, financing, and purchasing a home.
To qualify for assistance in the Purchase Assistance Program, you must be a candidate to be approved for a home mortgage. Tallahassee Lenders' Consortium can assist you to improve your credit and manage your finances. To be eligible to receive the purchase assistance loan, your TOTAL GROSS household income (before taxes) must not exceed the following amounts, adjusted for household size:
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Income Guidelines
(Family Size - Max Gross Income for those at or below 80% of area median income)
For more information please contact Tallahassee Lenders' Consortium at 222-6609.
The City has additional assistance available for employees who are purchasing homes in one of the City's target areas. Target areas include Apalachee Ridge, Providence, Bond, and Greater Frenchtown (Frenchtown, Griffin Heights and Springfield) neighborhoods. Employees can receive a loan of up to $5,000 if their GROSS household incomes do not exceed the following amounts, adjusted for household size:
(Family Size - Max Gross Income)
For more information or to obtain an application, please call the Housing Division at 891-6500.

Lemonade in Winter
Lemonade in Winter
A Book about Two Kids Counting Money
Schwartz & Wade Books, Hardcover, 9780375858833, 40pp.
Publication Date: September 11, 2012
In a starred review, Publishers Weekly declared this delightful picture book "a beautifully restrained tribute to trust and tenderness shared by siblings; an entrepreneurship how-to that celebrates the thrill of the marketplace without shying away from its cold realities; and a parable about persistence."
A lemonade stand in winter? Yes, that's exactly what Pauline and John-John intend to have, selling lemonade and limeade--and also lemon-limeade. With a catchy refrain (Lemon lemon LIME, Lemon LIMEADE! Lemon lemon LIME, Lemon LEMONADE!), plus simple math concepts throughout, here is a read-aloud that's great for storytime and classroom use, and is sure to be a hit among the legions of Jenkins and Karas fans.
I was a raw child. In fact, I am a raw adult. This is a hard quality to live with sometimes, but it is a useful quality if you want to be a writer. It is easy to hurt my feelings, and I am unable to watch the news or read about painful subjects without weeping. I was often called oversensitive when I was young, but I've learned to appreciate this quality in myself, and to use it in my writing.
Growing up, I spent large parts of my life in imaginary worlds: Neverland, Oz, and Narnia, in particular. I read in the bath, at meals, in the car, you name it. Around the age of eight, I began working on my own writing. My early enterprises began with a seminal picture book featuring a heroic orange sleeping bag, followed by novel-length imitations of "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase" by Joan Aiken and" Pippi Longstocking" by Astrid Lindgren.
I have never kept journals or notebooks for my own sake. I am a writer who writes always with the idea of an audience in mind--and at nine I was determined to share my Pippi story with the world. I got my father to type it up in a book format and photocopy it fifty times. Then he took me to an artist friend's studio, where we silkscreened fifty copies of a drawing I'd made for the cover. I gave it to everyone I knew. That was my first book.
I have always been interested in picture books as a form, which stems (I suppose) from my background in theater. I am fascinated by the intersection of words and images-- the way the meanings of words can be altered by changing their presentation. An actor varies her intonation or an illustrator changes a line--and the story is new. In college, I studied illustrated books from an academic standpoint. I went to Vassar, where children's book writer Nancy Willard was on the faculty. She introduced me to illustrator Barry Moser, and the interview he gave me was the centerpiece of my senior thesis. While I was there, I spent three years as a student assistant in Vassar's lab pre-school, and after graduation found work as an assistant teacher in a Montessori school, teaching six- to nine-year-olds. That year, I began to write a novel with my father--through the mail. I was in Chicago and he was in New York. We thought it would be a fun way to keep in touch. I wrote a chapter--then he wrote a chapter. We rewrote each other's chapters. And rewrote them again. It took a long time, but eventually that story was published as "The Secret Life of Billie's Uncle Myron".
Now I write full time (except when parenting) in a tiny little office in Brooklyn, accompanied by two plump and ancient cats. The walls are raspberry-colored and lined with pictures by the artists I've worked with.
Emily Jenkins writes books for both adults and children. She has a doctorate in English literature from Columbia and reviews children's books for "The New York Times". At New York University, she teaches a course in writing for children.
G. Brian Karas has illustrated many children's books, including "Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!" And "Tippy-Tippy-Tippy, Hide! "by Candace Fleming; "Incredible Me" by Kathi Appelt; and the High-Rise Private Eyes series by Cynthia Rylant.
Publishers Weekly Best of Children's Books 2012
Starred Review, School Library Journal, August 1, 2012:
"This quirky tale is a boon for young entrepreneurs, who will enjoy looking at the humorous details in the pictures as much as working out the math after each sale."
Starred Review, Publishers Weekly, July 30, 2012:
"In real money terms, this one's an amazing bargain."

Why would you even ask?
Jun 24, 2013 - 2:28 pm
How Old is Too Old To Have Sex? was the title of a Huffington Post Live Blog that I took part in on June 14th. As I pointed out during the exchange, the question itself is profoundly ageist. We don't ask whether people age out of singing, or eating ice cream, so why even pose the question when it comes to making love?

Product Information
Our Casual Canine® Camo Dog Hoodies are authentic winter wear with a unique statement of individual pet style.
Why We Love It:
Girly dogs will really dig this pink camo hooded sweatshirt. Comfy and soft, yet the pink camo pattern gives it a feminine touch of soldier. Great for dogs that enjoy cold weather activities like hunting, fishing and camping.
Note: If the dog has a stout build, select one size larger.
Important Sizing Note: The following measurements are the dimensions of the actual product, not of the pet they fit. After measuring your pet, make sure all measurements fit within the following dimensions (with a little room to spare in the chest and neck).X-Small
Our Houston weather doesn't allow for much wearing of these cute hoodies right now. But in several months they will definitely come in handy for my two Puggers. My girls love love love to dress up in all the lovely things I get them from BaxterBoo.. And I enjoy watching them prance around feeling so smart. Love my girls and love BaxterBoo!
This hoodie is very well made and the pretty pink colors look nice on Bella ! It is warm and comfortable as she explores the yard and and is also cozy for lounging inside on the sofa with sister and pet parents . Thanks BaxterBoo for another wonderful item for Bella's wardrobe !!
True to size, Good price, fast delivery, dependable sellers and Lucy is happy. (46# female Pointer)
Peanut loves her camo hoodie! It fits her well and is nice and warm with the fleece lining! It's perfect for our morning walks on chilly days!
Fit good and looked cute on her
My baby Shih Tzu,Mika looks adorable in her pink camo hoody. She is 7 mths old and the small fits her perfect and keeps her warm on her walks. Great quality and price!
This is just an adorable addition to any doggie wardrobe. It does run a bit small in terms of length but still practical and comfortable.
Well, I have a french bulldog--stocky little girl who never fits into anything with her build. But, this sweatshirt fits the best of all I have tried! I would have given 5 stars if there was some stretch in the hoodie since that would allow some room for fit, but it is still great. I like the exact measurements given--this makes purchasing much easier. The material is great too--most dog clothes are cheap acrylic and fall apart (not to mention create far too much static on an animal with fur!). The hoodie washes up nicely...I havent dried it to a crisp in the dryer, but it seems to maintain size without shrinkage. Overall, I am very happy with it.
The Hoodie was the right size for my new Toy Poodle. XSmall is hard to find for a puppy. Shipping and delivery were beyond my expectations. Fast!

The search for Elmira's next city manager has been reopened, Mayor Susan Skidmore said Thursday.
Elmira City Council had hoped to be able to appoint someone this month. However, the search is going to take a little longer than anticipated, she said after the council's workshop session.
"Although we had a good number of applications that came in, by the time (the candidates) actually came in, we only had a couple of interviews," Skidmore said. "We just didn't feel comfortable with the lower number of applications or people to interview." ...

THURSDAY, March 6, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- New mothers are much more likely to get a whooping cough shot if hospitals make it a standing order, a new study finds.
Vaccinating new mothers against whooping cough (pertussis) protects both them and their babies against the disease, the study authors say.
Researchers looked at whooping cough vaccination rates among new mothers in two hospitals. One hospital followed standard procedures, while the other first implemented a doctor opt-in order, and then instituted a standing order for new mothers to be given the Tdap vaccine before they left the hospital. The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis.
At the start of the study, the Tdap vaccination rate among new mothers was zero at both hospitals. This increased to 18 percent in the one hospital after it introduced the doctor opt-in order, and to 69 percent when the hospital implemented the standing order, the investigators found.
The findings were published in the March issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
"Vaccinating mothers of newborns holds the promise to reduce the risk of whooping cough among infants," Dr. Sylvia Yeh, of the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, said in an institute news release.
"Our study found a simple change in a hospital's standing orders can make a profound difference in the immunization rates of mothers of newborns and provide vital protection to their babies and the rest of their families," she added.
Yeh said that mothers "are likely to agree to be vaccinated if they receive information on the importance of being immunized to protect their children."
Since the study was completed, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has updated its recommendations to say that pregnant women who haven't been vaccinated against whooping cough should be given the vaccination in the latter part of the second trimester or in the third trimester.
Despite the recommendation, research has shown that less than 3 percent of unvaccinated pregnant women receive a Tdap shot, according to the study authors.

Mike Winans: Creating his own genre
Mike Winans comes from an impressive lineage of gospel greats – 35 Grammy awards spread over three generations. But at age 28, he says he's not about to let family tradition confine his musical talents.
A nephew of famed BeBe and CeCe Winans and a grandson of the late David "Pop" Winans and his wife, Delores "Mom" Winans, Mike Winans recently released his first single, "My Own Genre," from his forthcoming album of the same title. With the release, he said, he wants the world to know that he is more than just gospel music.
His record label, Doc Roc Entertainment, is based right here in the Qcity.
"Our society is accustomed to categorizing," he said. "I want to create songs that appeal to music lovers, not just (one audience). My target market is anyone who allows music to speak to their emotions. In my opinion, that is a genre within itself."
Winans has written and produced for artists such as Chris Brown, Sean "Diddy" Combs, New Edition, Danity Kane, Michelle Williams and his aunt, Vickie Winans.
Qcitymetro.com caught up with him by phone to talk about his music, his future and what it's like to work with "Diddy." Below is an edited Q&A based on that interview.
Q. Why stray from the gospel roots that your family is so famous for?
I look at it this way: I like more foods than chicken, so I go to eat at more places than KFC. When it comes to music, I like to listen to all styles. I just wanted to be able to expand myself and not stick with just one sound or subject matter. To me, that limits your message and the amount of people who can hear it.
Q. Did you ever consider a career outside of music?
Oh yes, definitely. I wanted to do anything else, whether it be a politician or a real estate developer. I wanted to become the first Winans that did something outside of music. I went to college and got a degree in business administration, but then I ended up forming a music business. (Laughs). I ended up songwriting and producing. Music is a gift that God has blessed our family with. The more you are around it, the more it gets on you, and that's what you find yourself doing.
Q. What do you hope people will take away from your music?
I want them to feel refreshed and like they had a good experience that will cause them to become a better person. I want to be an encouragement to people. I want to uncover some of the things that I've dealt with and let people know that you can make it through it. I want people to actually feel like they have received good news once they turn my album off. To me, I don't know how much more "gospel" that can be.
Q. Break down the concept behind your first single.
I'm talking about my roots are planted in gospel because I'm from the Winans family, but I like R&B because I'm in this world and I've had my heart broken. I love the concepts that I hear in country. Everything is conjoined for me, so it's difficult for me to separate my affinity for one style of music when all of it is engulfed in one. It's just music that will be able to touch people in all walks of life.
Q. Was it hard to find a label that believed in your vision?
At first I had different companies approach me, but I don't know if they all understood the vision that I saw for the project. Now I'm working with Mr. Ken Harris and his team at Doc Roc Entertainment, a company based out of Charlotte. They definitely took a liking to the material. They were very supportive of this project, so I decided to go with them.
Q. When will the album be released?
The release date is March 1, the day before my birthday. It's going to be a happy birthday for me this year.
Q. What do you believe is missing in music today?
I think more than ever it's time for music to break down the barriers. I've had the privilege to travel overseas and listen to mainstream radio stations. You'll have a folk song followed by a jazz song, then a gospel song and a rock song. They don't seem to be channeled by the factions that we have here in the United States of segmented radio, which causes people to only enjoy a certain type of music because that's all you are going to hear on one station. They care about more variety.
Q. What are some of the topics you plan to address in your music?
A lot of my songs are about relationships. A lot of us have had our ups and our downs. I feel that it is unrealistic when gospel artists aren't able to talk about relationships, because they have relationships as well. There are certain things that I don't feel comfortable writing about. You won't hear me use profanity in any records because I don't use profanity in my everyday walk in life. We also deal with social issues like homosexuality. Nobody really talks about that in a song. There are going to be all types of things that you are going to hear in the music that are going to make you say, 'Wow! Did he actually say that?' I feel that's my duty as a musician and an artist... it's not just to sing pretty songs and dance across the stage but actually have an impact on the listeners and touch people's emotions.
Q. You've worked extensively with Sean "Diddy" Combs. You've written songs, produced music and developed several artists on his label. You also worked as senior producer on the show "Making the Band." What's it like to work with Combs?
It's interesting. I've really gotten a chance to work with him as a person, not just the TV image. I recognized that he had a great relationship with God. He's one of the most spiritual people I've ever met in my life. Once you get to know him, a lot of the shenanigans that you see in the media, that's not who you get. When it comes to Diddy, you actually get someone who is respectful of your craft. Whenever I work with him I know that I'm going to learn something new.
Q. What's next in your career?
I want to actually be a voice for the industry and bridge the gap between the gospel arena and the secular arena. Most of the secular arena came from the church, and a lot of venom is spit from the two sides. I want to be that bridge. There will be those people who disagree and say, 'Well, he is trying to be lukewarm and not take a stand.' There are those people who are just very judgmental and don't have a concept on unity. I'm not really concerned about those few people.
Q. How can your fans reach out to you?
They can check out my web page, www.mikewinans.com. I tweet everyday @MikeWinansJr. A lot of my inspiration comes from tweeting back and forth. I'm the guy that if you tweet me, I will tweet you back.
