From Springfield, Missouri, To York, Pennsylvania
The Advanced Plating leg was the second in the 2007 STREET RODDER / PPG Road Tour series, beginning with a weekend of rodding fun at the NSRA Mid-America Nationals in Springfield, Missouri. The Springfield event has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years, and this year's registered participants totaled more than 2,100. The beautiful weather on Saturday brought spectators out in record numbers.
Sunday afternoon, after the awards, it was time for the Advanced Plating Tour to head out on the five-day journey to the NSRA Nationals East in York, Pennsylvania. Our trip was mapped out to take us through Nashville, Knoxville, Charlotte, and Virginia before completing our tour on Thursday in York. Stops would include Lokar Products in Knoxville, Dennis Carpenter's Reproductions and Hendrick's Motorsports in Charlotte, a visit to the home of author Ken Gross, and a stop at the Gettysburg Memorial in Virginia. We were to arrive in York on Thursday in time for the famous Nationals East kick-off party.
Our Sunday afternoon trip was a short one, as planned, and we spent the evening in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Dinner was at a local steakhouse and the tour participants got a chance to get to know new friends and in some cases renew old friendships. A number of the Road Tourians on the Advanced Plating Tour were veterans of some of the 2006 tours. They already knew the fun involved in a week on the road with fellow rodders. This tour included folks from California, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
It was beautiful on the morning of Memorial Day Monday as we made the trip across Missouri, through Kentucky, and then on to Nashville-our destination for the day and evening. Some folks headed to the huge Opryland Hotel while others paid a visit to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It was sunny and hot, and, after a day of seeing the sights, we got together for dinner and discussed plans for Tuesday.
The tour continued on Tuesday morning bright and early. First on the schedule was a visit to the shop of our tour sponsor Advanced Plating in Nashville, where we were given a full tour of the facility. The first thing you notice at the company's plant is that it is not your normal chrome-plating facility, in that it is incredibly clean and organized. Owner Steve Tracy's philosophy is that you cannot do quality plating in a dirty environment. Those who has seen any of the company's work realizes that Advanced does very high-quality plating, so it makes sense. Also on display in the company showroom is Advanced Plating's line of chrome-plated products, including grilles, manifolds, and valve covers. All items include a full dose of Advanced's high-quality chrome.
We had no time to rest after our tour at Advanced, as we had an invitation for lunch at Lokar Performance Products in Knoxville, about three hours east on I-40. As usual, owners Debbie and Skip Wall and Lokar President Rick Craze really rolled out the Road Tour red carpet for us. A catered barbecue lunch was just what the road-weary Road Tourians needed. On top of great food, Debbie put together goodie bags for all of us, which included a Lokar hat and umbrella. Lokar is the only company whose products have been used on every Road Tour car built since the program began in 1996. After a tour of the company's manufacturing facility, it was again time to keep moving. Our next destination was Charlotte, North Carolina
Our tour guide for the evening in Charlotte was good friend Brent VanDervort, founder and president of Fatman Fabrications. We stopped at the Fatman facility last year on the Road Tour, and this year Brent volunteered to get us a behind-the-scenes look at two of the coolest car-related places in the Charlotte area. The Tuesday evening stop is not generally open to the public, but Brent made the visit possible. Dennis Carpenter Reproductions is a well-known name in the restoration and street rod hobby. Famous for its high-quality Ford reproduction parts, the company has expanded into Cushman scooter parts and also tractor parts. We were able to get a tour of a museum-style collection of cars, trucks, Cushman scooters, motorcycles, and automobilia that has been accumulated by the company over the years. It is an unbelievable collection. Longtime Dennis Carpenter employee and museum curator Roy Howard guided us through the displays.
Wednesday morning Brent was again our guide as we visited the Hendrick Motorsports racing complex just around the corner from Lowe's Motor Speedway. Bob Hice gave us a personal guided tour through the amazing Hendrick facility, and we spent some time in the museum area where Daytona 500 winning cars of past years are on display. We then visited the chassis shop where fabrication begins on all of the race cars. From there it was on to the building where the work is done on Jeff Gordon's and Jimmy Johnson's race cars. It was fantastic to get such an up-close-and-personal tour of the Hendrick facility. Many thanks to Brent VanDervort from Fatman for putting together such a great evening and morning in Charlotte.
Wednesday evening was spent in Charlottesville, Virginia. We enjoyed a group dinner at Cheeseburgers in Paradise, which was great fun for all of us. Thursday morning arrived and we still had two more stops before we got to York and the NSRA Nationals East. Our first one was at the home of author Ken Gross. Ken has written for all the major automotive magazines, including STREET RODDER. His subject matter is wide-ranging, but, by his own admission, his love is with hot rods. His collection of early Flathead manifolds has to be one of the largest anywhere, and his '32 Ford roadster was chosen as one of the 75 honored at the Grand National Roadster Show this past January. Ken is also a former director of the Petersen Automotive Museum, so, needless to say, it was a very enjoyable morning with one of the most interesting people in our hobby.
The Gettysburg Memorial was our final stop on the Advanced Plating leg. It was a fitting end to our week. What began on Memorial Day wrapped up at the site of an event that decided the destiny of our nation. It was a very solemn afternoon at the memorial and cemetery.
We rolled into the headquarters hotel in York at about 3 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. We definitely had a full week on the Road Tour, and the huge NSRA Nationals East was a fitting finale to our fun-filled week. With more than 3,000 street rods registered, there was plenty to see and do all weekend, and the Advanced Plating Road Tourians had plenty of stories to relay to their friends back home.

When to start wedding dress shoppingI feel like its a silly question lol, but when did you ladies start dress shopping?
Just to ensure you have enough time to allow for alterations and I guess to allow time to order things in...other things I havent considered, etc haha. Whats a good time frame to work with? Ive been engaged since late Aug 2012, and the wedding will be Feb 2014, at first I thought id wait until about mid 2013 before I started thinking about it. But time flew by and im getting excited!
I have in my mind the type of dress shape and silhouette. I have began to search the style online and I have a magazine clipping of what im looking for too.
So do you think its still a litte early for me to organise the first dress shopping expedition? Or wait a few more months?
Also, has anyone had experiences with buying wedding dresses in dudool.com? I fell in love with one of their dresses lol. I love such style.
Thanks, any advice, stories or discussion on your first dress shopping expeditions welcomed!

Residents, Experts Weigh In On Sales Tax Bill
Lawmakers Want To Raise Sales Tax If Residents Approve
One day after the unicameral voted to override the governor's veto on the sales tax bill, citizens, city officials and tax experts are weighing in.
In order for the sales tax increase to even get on the ballot, it will require a supermajority vote by the city council. However, early indications are that the increase wouldn't fly with the people, who have the final say.
Experts said the sales tax on products bought in Nebraska is a step closer to going up.
The path was cleared Wednesday by the unicameral, which voted to override the governor's veto of a bill allowing cities to impose voter-approved sales tax increases to rates as high as 2 percent.
"Whether I'd support it or not? I don't know," said Omaha resident Timothy Williams.
On Thursday, sentiment among residents was that their vote was far from a sure thing, but the road to putting the increase on the ballot goes through city hall, where officials say it could mean $40 million a year in new revenue.
Council members Jean Stothert and Pete Festersen said they're against the move.
"I commend the Legislature for giving cities the opportunity, but I wouldn't support this for Omaha right now," Festersen said.
"Another tax increase in this economy is not in the best interest of the people of Omaha," Stothert said.
Councilman Garry Gernandt, however, said the sales tax measure should go forward.
"This is a tool. We can use it if we need it. Voters for a long time have been saying, 'We should vote on this,'" Gernandt said.
If the increase were approved by the people, officials said the city would eliminate the restaurant tax.
Experts like University of Nebraska-Omaha's Kenneth Kriz said other states have had success with similar plans that substituted sales tax for property tax.
"(For Omaha,) there's a caution there for people who see this is an ability to go 'all ahead full' and put a bunch of new measures on the ballot," Kriz said.
In addition to eliminating the restaurant tax, the mayor's office said if the issue got to a vote of the people and if the people approved it, the mayor would ask the citizens what they'd think as far as where the new revenue should go.

In the mid-1960s, Thomas Perra was a member of Norwich Free Academy's football team, a lineman who played on either side of the snap.
In the mid-1960s, Thomas Perra was a member of Norwich Free Academy's football team, a lineman who played on either side of the snap.
And tonight for the first time in decades, the University of Harford's associate vice president and treasurer will watch the Wildcats in action, as they vie for the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference's Class LL championship against Middletown's Xavier High School.
"After I go to this game, I'll probably try to catch a couple in Norwich next year," Perra said. "I've always paid attention to them, and I've always wanted to get back."
Across the nation and around the region, NFA's vast network of more than 40,000 graduates are equally excited — and anxious — about the team's historic run at a state crown.
"There certainly is a lot of pride. It's great. Just like the olden days," said Walter Chojnacki, of Waterford, a 1960 NFA graduate. "They've just had a fantastic year."
Indeed, the 12-0 Wildcats have built a strong following this season, partly because of the team's high-flying offense (which scored more than 30 points all but twice this year) but also because of the years of football futility many NFA alums witnessed during their time there.
"We are like, frantic, avid fans," said Lee-Ann Gomes, a member of the school's board of trustees who works in the Norwich Human Services department. "Most kids never get this experience. I went through four years of NFA, and I think our football team literally won one game."
Gomes has two nephews on the team, and her daughter's boyfriend also plays.
Ann Salina, who graduated in 1991, feels a particular kinship to the football team.
"I've always loved NFA, and my best memories and best friends come from there as a member of the marching band," said Salina, director of admissions and student services at Duke University's College of Nursing. "We (and the football team) are two peas in a pod, so you can't help but have an affinity for them."
Salina said she's been following the team mostly on Facebook. She is friends with the mother of Calvin Green, a junior linebacker and running back.
Linda Ververis, director of alumni relations and constituent research at NFA, said she and her husband plan to cheer on the Wildcats in person. She graduated from the school in 1978, four years after her husband.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," she said. "It would be great if they could come home with a win, but if they don't, they've come pretty darn far, and we're proud of them."
Edward F. Lavallee knows what it's like to be a champion. A 1965 graduate, his cross-country team went undefeated for five years, and he was the last one cut from the school's baseball team after losing a foot race.
"The competition to be on a team was really, really intense," said Lavallee, city manager in Venice, Fla. "I talk about the school a lot. I was privileged to go there."
Lavallee's brother still lives in Norwich and his granddaughter is a sophomore at NFA.
"I have confidence they'll represent the city well," he said. "Good luck to the red and white."

The Motorola Atrix and its dedicated docks got geeks pretty excited when they first arrived. The company's range of dockable smartphones has expanded since then, and there are still plenty of Android fans out there that want to utilize the dual-core, gigahertz-plus processors in their phones on a more productivity-friendly display.
Motorola's latest firmware for the Droid Razr shows that there's a big change on the way for the Webtop software that makes the phone-to-big screen transition possible. Instead of the current UX — which is very much like what you get with a desktop Linux distro — they're offering up a full-on Ice Cream Sandwich tablet interface when docking your phone.
It's labeled as a beta version right now, and Motorola's splash screen notes that some apps might not handle the switch from phone to Webtop mode seamlessly. Fortunately, a quick re-launch should get them back on track.
With ICS designed to bridge the gap between Android phones and tablets, it makes sense that Motorola would transition to a native interface. The dock, the top-mounted menu bar, and the window chrome from the previous Webtop software have all been banished.
Now if Moto would just come up with a lapdock that's a little bit more like what Asus is bringing to market with the PadFone…It makes infinitely more sense for the phone to dock completely inside the larger device, rather than having it perched precariously off the back.

Philadelphia Phillies – Awards: Slugging Percentage Champions.
In the Phillies' 126-years history as a National League team, Phillies' players have had the best slugging percentage among the league's batters twenty times. The title was won by nine different players, with a few of them actually winning it several times in their careers.
The first Phillie player to win the title was Hall of Famer Ed Delahanty, who won his first slugging title with a .495 slugging percentage in 1892 and then repeated it in 1893 with a .583 slugging mark. The second Phil to win the title, the third overall for the team, was Delahanty's fellow Hall of Famer Sam Thompson, as he won it in 1895 with a slugging percentage of .654. Delahanty regained the title in 1896 with a .631 slugging percentage. Hall of Famer Nap Lajoie made it three years in a row that a Phil won the title as he won it in 1897 with a .569 slugging percentage. Delahanty won his fourth and final title as a Phil in 1899 with a .582 winning percentage. The next Phil to win the title, the fourth Phillie player to do so, was Sherry Magee, who won the title in 1910 with a .507 slugging percentage. Gavvy Cravath became the fifth Phil to win the title, winning it in 1913 with a 568 slugging percentage. Magee regained the crown in 1914 with a .509 slugging percentage. Cravath took the title back the following year, 1915, as he help lead the Phils to their first National League title with a .510 slugging mark, making it the second time that Phillie players would win the title three years in a row. The next Phillie player to win the title was Cy Williams, winning the crown in 1926 with a .568 slugging percentage. The seventh Phil to win the title was Hall of Famer Chuck Klein, winning the first of three straight slugging titles with a .584 slugging percentage in 1931, one season after having set the Phillies' single season slugging percentage with a slugging mark of .687. He repeated during his Most Valuable Player season of 1932, winning it with a .646 slugging percentage. He won the crown for a third straight time during his Triple Crown year of 1933, winning the title with a .602 slugging mark. It would be thirty-two years before another Phil won the title. In 1966, Dick Allen became the eighth Phil to win the title, with a slugging percentage of .632. The ninth, and presently, last Phil, to win the title was Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, doing it five times during his long career. He won his first title in 1974 with a .546 slugging percentage. He then won the title in three straight seasons, the second Phillie player to do so, by first hitting .624 in 1980, helping to lead the team to its first World Series title, then hitting .644 in the strike-shorten year of 1981, and finally with a .547 mark in 1982. Schmidt won his fifth and final title in 1986 with a .547 slugging percentage. No Phil has won the title since then.
Of the twenty titles, all but six titles were won by Hall of Famers, with Mike Schmidt winning the most titles with five wins. Ed Delahanty was next with four, followed by Chuck Klein with three title wins. The Phil who won the title with the highest slugging percentage was Chuck Klein with his .646 slugging percentage during his MVP season of 1932, while Ed Delahanty won it with the lowest percentage as he hit only .495 in 1892. The Phils have won six titles in the 19th century, fourteen in the 20th and, so far, none in the 21st Century.
Who would be the next Phil to win the title? Unless Ryan Howard can do the deed within the next few years, it may be a few more seasons before a Phil will slug his win into the title.

I needed to trade in my Chevy Malibu for something more dependable. I found a Jeep Compass Trailhawk and loved it. Justin and Steve helped me with my trade and got me a really good deal! I love the Jeep and couldn't be happier!
Justin was the best manager and my sales person was also great they took great care of me and will return in the future thank you future
I had a great experience with Justin. He is awesome and worked like crazy to get us approved. He has got a customer for life.
They went above and beyond to get me into my new car i would recommend them to anyone. Justin was very knowledgeable and listened to what i wanted! Thank you Jim Glover team!
Justin and his crew are awesome and very helpful. They really went to work for me. If anyone is in the market for a vehicle go see Justin Kallam and Jacob Shelton.

The salesman and staff we're all very courteous and polite and very fun to work with we would recommend them to anyone it was a pleasure working with them.
Awesome, friendly and polite people! Justin was awesome! Far better experience than Jim Glover on the River. They were rude and disrespectful from the moment we walked in the doors. They didn't even want to take the time to help me. Jim Glover in Owasso is the place to go! Thanks Justin. Loved the drive home in my new Journey.
I inquired on the internet and had an amazing response experience. Got info about the car online through Justin who WAS BEYOND AMAZING! He had me come in and within a couple hours he got me into a brand new 2018 Dodge Charger and made my absolute dreams come true!!!! I highly reccomend this dealership! And the amazing team that run it!!! I will forever buy cars from them!!!!
Justin was very efficient and knowledgeable when helping me with my purchase. I live almost two hours away so everything had to be worked out over the phone. He was very knowledgeable in all the process and even spoke to my bank for me. Would recommend working with this dealership and with Justin!
This by far was one of the best car buying experiences I have had. Billy and the finance team worked incredibly hard after finding out about a random security freeze that I didn't know about. Then after resolving my issues for me, the actual signing process only took like 15 minutes thanks to a completely digital signing table thing. It was amazing. On top of all this, they made sure we had unlimited gourmet coffee and cappuccino, TV, Charging stations, and literally opened the door for us every time we went outside. Anyway go decide for yourself. Ask for Billy and tell him Otto Wolf sent you.
Billy was my salesman and I must say he is awesome. I would tell everyone to ask for him. Put please use my name for reference
Billy Parsons and Eric Cole were very diligent ,helpful ,and very pleasant to work with on in my efforts to buy a Beautiful new Dodge Laramie.Would gladly recommend these guys to buy a new vehicle from.
Best car buying experience I've ever had. Thanks Eric Cole and Billy Parson for the Jeep Wrangler. I will be recommend you to my friends and associates
Billy was very patient, he kept in touch during the time i had to wait and was super nice! Great atmosphere! I will def buy from there again.
The Best prices with the best customer service. I received a great deal on my trade in. My new vehicle was clean and ready to after signing. #FutureReturnCustomer
Billy was so awesome and so helpful! (And so was his wife - Brooklyn) He even came in on his day off the day I picked up my vehicle! We were happy with the trade in price and the price of the new vehicle. They never pressured us into anything. I definitely recommend buying from them...and ask for Billy!
Billie has been great. Service team was also incredible. They are willing to go above and beyond for me. I'd recommend them to friends and family
Every person we met and dealt with was knowledgeable and courteous. Great to deal with. Very helpful and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy.
This will be the third vehicle I've purchased from Jim Glover. The sales people are awesome. There's no pressure, they really want to get you in to a car that matches your budget. they gave me a ton of options to choose from. I can truly say this is my dealership and i will not go anywhere else.
Billy Parsons was my sales person and he went way above and beyond anything I could have expected when purchasing a car. The truck I bought was a recent trade and it was ready, and Billy did everything he could to make sure I got my truck in a timely manner. Even driving it himself to my house to deliver it. I would recommend anyone purchase from them especially if you get the pleasure of working with Billy!
This dealership was a pleasure to work with. Billy was awesome for us and was helpful through the process. Transparent and professional communication. I will be going back to him the next time I need a vehicle!
Billy parson was amazing made my first car buying experience a blast would recommend billy any day of the month!!!!! 10/10 Jim Glover is the best dealership to deal with!
After being done wrong by a dealership I was loyal to, I called Jim Glover Dodge. From the first phone call, they treated me like I was the only one that mattered. My salesman Billy, helped me get my car ordered, and kept me up to date on the process all the way to deliver. They have a new customer for life.
We had been to other Jeep dealers in the area before going into Jim Glover. Before even stepping foot onto the lot my husband had been in contact with Billy Parsons several times. Billy had give more attention and information in a short amount of time to us then the other dealerships. Everyone we came into contact with, guys that weren't even our sales guy, were friendly and helpful. The thing that surprised us was that Jared Glover came out to personally meet us and knew what we were there for. He checked inventory when the Jeep we looked at wasn't right for us. He even carried a big ol' rim outside in the heat so we could see what it looked like next to the Jeep. To say our experience was fantastic is an understatement. This ranks up there as one of the best car buying experiences we've had.
Scott and Billy were both great! I was actually planning to buy from Chris Nikel but Billy was so friendly and not pushy on the phone that I decided to make the drive to Owasso and check out Jim Glover.
The best experience ever.... The friendly staff was very knowledgeable and helpful!!! I will buy form this dealership in the future... I will recommend this dealership to everyone!!!
Great salesmen in Billy Parker. Easy buying experience. Nice, friendly dealership. I would say an overall A+ grade for the entire selection and purchase of my Challenger.
I found a car on CarGurus. I contacted the dealership. Billy made it a project to find me a car. He completed his task with flying colors. He made me feel like a friend.
I highly recommend this dealer, the whole process went smoothly! Everyone was friendly and helpful! And the kids play room in lobby is a game changer for parents of young children!
If I had to give my rating based solely on the service I received from Billy Parson it would all be ?????. (The 4 star rating is due to the level of satisfaction I feel dealing with other workers, specifically Eric). Billy went above & beyond to get me into the car I wanted, even delivered it to Muskogee to me. I felt he was more upfront with me than I believed others at the dealership I dealt with were being. Overall, Billy made the car buying experience much more pleasant and easier on me.
Fantastic customer service from Billy Parsons would recommend anyone who buys from Jim Glover to go through him. Extremely helpful and we were able to get a great deal on a 2017 Nissan Titan. Thank you Billy!
Salesman, Billy Parsons, was so helpful. He went beyond just selling us a new truck.He made sure we were happy with our Ram purchase. We will look for him for anything we need at Jim Glover dealership. We love our new Ram.
Buying a used vehicle from AJ Straubing with Eric Cole and Mazen Daouk support work from the background, made for a stress-free and enjoyable car buying experience! It was all very professional and courteous and I would definitely buy here again!
AJ had great communication, lots of patience, very understanding and not pushy!! All things I really appreciate during the buying process. He helped us get what we really wanted at a price we could afford!
These days you have choices and I've tried most of them. Go to Jim Glover and save yourself the trouble. Good experience all the way around.
The best car buying experience I've had. AJ made sure I was very pleased with my decision and went above and beyond to meet all of my needs.
This experience made buying a car super easy. The staff is extremely helpful and they responded promptly with any questions I had. Using the fast pass took most of the work out of my hands, as a matter of fact I was able to purchase my car during a busy 12 hour work shift. It was amazing that they were able to deliver my new car to my driveway, it was waiting on me when I got off of work the next day!! Best car buying experience ever!!!
It was easy and simple and it runs amazing! I couldn't be happier with my purchase, thank you again AJ you're the man!!!
I've been looking none stop for a Toyota RAV4 and Jim Glover by far had their RAV4 at the very best price! We were in and out and worked quickly to get us the best deal!
Aaron, our salesman was very courteous and knowledgeable about the vehicle we purchased. We would recommend Aaron and the dealership to all friends and family.
Aj and his team were the best. Aj took his time with me, showing and explaining everything so simple. Aj understood my circumstances and the Jim Glover team helped me in the best way possible. I walked in not expecting much but left with a new car! Thanks so much guys!
AJ did an excellent job helping me walk through the buying process. I was able to get the vehicle I wanted at a great price.
First let me say that I called at least 10 Chevy dealerships. None were as attentive as the sales person I talked to at Glover. Your Owasso facility is further than any of the others I would have gone to except for the fact that AJ went out of his way to ensure I had exactly what I expected when I got there. He took pictures inside and out of several vehicles, understood exactly what I was expecting before I came in. I do NOT believe in the "come on in and we'll talk" snake oil salesman. he also was aware of the vehicle I was trading in. Both were Traverse models- love the car but needed newer with quad seats. He did NOT try to sell me anything I did not want. That is the authenticity all of your sales folks should have. He and his Supervisor Eric made me a return customer. I am a skeptical critic but also kind. If I had seen one ounce of dishonesty or schmooze versus genuine approach to getting me the vehicle I wanted, I would have been out the door when I did drive over. THIS my friends is how every deal should be handled. Well done AJ and Eric...well done.
Completely professional and actually got a better deal than I was expecting Adam brought the car to me exactly what I wanted never had a more seamless experience
My husband and I had went to another dealership and had differences from the beginning. I had spoke to salesman at Jim Glover a few times so went to see what they could do. The man was very polite and helpful and got us a great deal.
Jim Glover of Owasso is a great place to do your car shopping. The staff is very friendly and helpful in finding a great car.
We went to Jim Glover to buy a Grand Cherokee we found on Autotrader for an attractive price. Having a great salesperson is essential when it comes to buying a new car and AJ was top notch. He was in contact with us as we made the 2hr drive from Fort Smith, AR and when we arrived, he had the car running and cooled off (it was 100 degrees that day) so we could take it for a test drive right away. AJ was extremely patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and hardworking throughout our car buying experience and really made it a pleasant one for us. The dealership has a great waiting area. The kids play area was stocked with toys and kept my 4yr old entertained while we were there. Another win. Car buying essentials for people with young children: Exceptional salesperson, transaction time, and play area. Thanks AJ Straubing and Jim Glover!
I had a great experience with the Jim Glover Group in Owasso. This was the first place I looked at in buying my Jeep. I decided to keep my options open to make sure this was the best deal for me. I looked at 3 other dealerships, and ultimately came back to Jim Glover because the Jeep I have now was the most affordable, had the least amount of miles, was the newest model out of all the other vehicles I looked at, and gave me the best payment plan at a low interest rate. AJ (sales rep) was wonderful to work with, and I highly recommend anyone who is looking to purchase a new vehicle to ask for AJ. AJ did a great job in setting me up with my new ride, and I will be using them again for any future vehicle needs.
We enjoyed our experience at this dealership and was showed many vehicles that we were interested in. Thorough and high tech. Salesman was very knowledgable with all aspects of the vehicles.
Aj was very helpful and knowledgeable. The process was very fast and easy. Would recommend them to my friends and family. Will be back the to purchase my next vehicle. Thank you
Has very good customer service. AJ was very helpful with all my questions and just a great overall experience. Thankful that he was the one to contact me about my inquiry. Thanks again!
Love this dealership and the employees !! Everyone I spoke with was very nice and patient in helping me find a vehicle to fit in my budget. Thank you Eric Cole for all your help.
Buying a used vehicle from AJ Straubing with Eric Cole and Mazen Daouk support work from the background, made for a stress-free and enjoyable car buying experience! It was all very professional and courteous and I would definitely buy here again!
Going into a dealership without having a vehicle picked out but knowing what I was looking for and leaving 2 1/2 hours later after the sales guy bent over backwards to find me my vehicle and the finance guy flying thru the paperwork to get me out the door it was one of the best car buying experiences I have ever had! I would definitely go back or send friends and family to them!
Planning a four-hour drive back and forth to the dealership, this would be an all-day event so wanted a tentative agreement in price before leaving. I wanted the military discount (I'm an 80% disabled vet) and doc fee dropped; salesperson agreed to both. Travel to the dealer, test drive, we have an 800+ credit score, all good, sit for paperwork. We discover the price of the vehicle magically jumped up an additional $250 literally during our drive to the dealership, and the Doc fee was not removed as promised. There were no other factory incentives, no other discounts, nada, zilch, yet the sales manager would not budge. We dropped the request to only the military discount, give us back the extra $250 on the ridiculous price jump that occurred on our drive to the dealership which sliced the only small discount we were offered in half. Nope, nada, zilch! The dealership basically refused to budge a dollar, disabled veteran or not. To be fair, the dealership is free to charge what they want and it is a high demand vehicle that demands top dollar, but its completely unfair if not unethical to deny promised discounts, especially when a four drive was based on the promise, and to raise prices on a vehicle AFTER a tentative deal had been reached and the customer is in transit to the dealership. Sales guy was very nice, even apologetic. Felt bad for the salesperson, he worked all afternoon on this deal only to have it sunk by the sales tower. We never saw the sales manager who wouldn't take three minutes of time to come to the table and help close a $50,000 sale, and all this over a measly remaining $250 on a promised military discount for a disabled veteran.
Awesome job I got more for my trade in than any other in town Payton excellent salesman best time and fastest service that I have ever had
I have bought 25 vehicles or more in my lifetime but this was the best experience ever! Friendly hassle free service. Thanks Payton and the whole crew.
Outstanding sales service. The staff was a focused on us and focused on getting the best deal possible. I would recommend and use Jim Glover Dodge again.
Payton was able to make the car buying process a pleasure no stress and a quick turnaround a welcome change we will be back thank you!
Payton was awesome. He made the whole experience easy. Great customer service and even made sure the 4 year old was took care of. Will recommend the Glover family to everyone I know looking to buy a new or used car. Stress free car buying experience. Which is a welcome change. Proud to say we well be back for future purchases
Great experience, friendly associates, and clean dealership! Made the process of buying a car as comfortable as possible. And in the end, we got a car!!
Drove up with an idea of what I wanted at what price and Alex and JD helped me all the way through. Found a great deal.
Traveled over 4 hours to do business here. Was not disappointed. Very friendly staff: Sales, service, finance...all of the employees were very helpful and appreciated.
Excellent sales team helped us find the PERFECT vehicle for our needs at a great price without any high-pressure sales techniques. We expected to spend a week looking at new midsized SUV makes/ models and walked out with a low-mileage 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. 😀
Thanks to Ryan and JD on making the purchase process seamless! I'm very satisfied with my new car! I would definitely recommend to others!
I stopped in at Jim Glover's in owasso on a whim. I did not plan on buying a car, just stopped in to see what they had. Well they had what I was looking for at the right price and even better with very low mileage, which is hard to find in a used car now days. The salesman was in no way pushy and was very nice. I will definitely be doing business here again
Our original salesman, Payton, was very nice and polite. He attended to our every need. He even personally washed the car when the dealership would not. The majority of the remaining experience went as expected...nothing more or less than expected. 2 things happened that I had never encountered before. We were asked to sign a form that had been pre-marked with 5-star answers rather than us providing the rating. Second, the dealership did not fill the car up with gas because we were buying a used car. Seriously, a 3-year old car for $7500 and they cannot fill the tank with $30 of gas?
JD and everyone was great they was all nice and friendly they was fast with everything I would buy from them again on a new truck
The sales team was very helpful and friendly. Our questions were all satisfactorily answered. We had extra requests and they were taken care of immediately. Overall, a very good experience.
Friendly,clean,remembered me 4 months after the sale, highly recommend. The most pleasant experience I've ever had in purchasing a new truck and service department was quick and friendly as well 5 star rating from me
My wife and I had the best experience ever with Jim Glover Dodge in Owasso! The process was quicker than we expected and we were able to upgrade the a brand new car while leaving the old one behind! Fun!
Jordan did a great job meeting our expectations and provided exceptional service!!! He had great knowledge and could answer all our questions—It was a great car buying experience
Super friendly, quick and easy buying experience. We will definitely be back. Jordan was very knowledgeable and very in tuned to our needs. Great job!
I did not think going in on Black Friday would help me as much as it did. Definitely got an amazing deal and I love my new Grand Cherokee!
Excellent customer service from Jordan in internet sales, consistently keeping in touch with me and working with my busy schedule, just overall excellent.thanks again for my wonderful Chrysler 300!
Love Jordan he is so nice and is very knowledgeable on all the vehicles he sales. He helped us in figuout what type of car we want.
Jordan did a very good job making this an easy process. No pressure and got me all the info I asked for promptly. He made me feel like he was working for me.
Jordan was excellent through the process.The whole Jim Glover team was amazing. There in stock selection is amazing. I would recommend giving them a chance to earn your business
Jordan Reynolds rocks. He was great, not pushy, let me move at my own pace. When your happy with your sales rep, you have won half the battle.
I had a wonderful experience at Jim Glover DCJRF. I had found the automobile I wanted, contacted them, only to find out said automobile had been sold mere hours before my call. I was heartbroken and prepared to continue my search for the same car, different dealer. I was so upset that I had missed it. Then Tyler, my sales assistant, wanted to continue to help. He asked about my criteria and proceeded to send me many other options. He stayed in contact with me nearly ALL DAY via text messages. Through his hard work, I went from heartbroken to excited, as he found another car with everything I wanted, at the price I wanted to pay. I drove down the next day and became a Jim Glover first time client. The process was efficient and fast once the decision was made. Before that, it was without pressure. From start to finish, I was very happy with the process. I would have given it 5 stars, but it put 4 hard inquiries on my credit report.
I walked in hopeful & curious yet insecure of my chances to obtain my new vehicle I had my mind set on, Tyler Ramirez Helped me out with everything making it all possible for me to accomplish my need of purchase with quality time & reasonable understanding of my budget. Didn't give up on me as a first time customer he was very detailed & thoroughly worked hard on getting me the best affordable payments. It was a done deal, I got my Jeep Patriot, He's good,a million Thanx Tyler😊
Had a great experience everything was honest and upfront and I got the truck I wanted without being pulled around would definitely go back for another vehicle.
Tried real hard to help us. Drove away in the van I wanted. This is my 3rd vehicle from Glover. Would refer my friends to you
Tyler, Tucker and Eric were very eager to please us they got us the payment that we could afford. Would highly recommend the sales man
My son wanted a jeep Wrangler. He searched for weeks. Then he saw this amazing deal in Owasso, Oklahoma. It's a 3 1/2 drive from our home in Kansas. The sales team knew when we were coming, and kept us posted that the Jeep was still available! We were greeted when got there. Our contact Tyler was with another customer, but his manager, Scott, made our buying experience seamless. He was nice, professional and fun to be with! The finance person, (can't remember his name) was also great. He was veru knowledgeable, explained our options thoroughly. Just 3 hours after arriving, we drove away in an awesome Wrangler. Stopped at Whataburger on the way out of town. Great end to a great day! Thanks everyone!
Extremely helpful staff, friendly, and the service and price could not be beat. Big thanks to the general sales manager Adam, Tyler our salesman, and Matt in finance.
I was treated respectfully. They have Knowledgeable staff and they made me a good deal. I normally loath the experience of buying a car and this was very pleasant.
Greatest experience ever buying a vehicle. We will be back in the future!!!! Alex Marquis worked his magic and got my son in the car he wanted.
Jessica and Mark went above and beyond to make my car buying experience a great one. Jessica is a sweetheart and Mark worked hard to get all the details nailed down
Very pleasant experience. We weren't even planning to purchase a car but couldn't pass up the offer. Financing Dept worked hard for us!!!
This was my first time buying from a dealership. I had been to a few other dealer's that day, but none would help get to my price range the way Jim Glover did. I was nervous about buying a vehicle naturally, because it's a big purchase. They made it easier.
It was a great experience buying our new dodge journey, i have never bought w vehicle that was easy and as smooth as it was at Jim Glover Dodge
purchased new vehicle a month ago from Jim Glover Owasso. Started calling service department 9 days ago for windshield repair and two tinted windows. I can only leave messages and they are never returned. I feel let down and lied to about how awesome the customer service is. I refuse to go through this again when I need to schedule an oil change.will never go there again!
Jim Glover in Owasso was the best experience I've ever had at a dealership! Not only did they work with me regarding my trade-in that wasn't in the best shape, they also helped me get into an awesome brand new suv. Mark and Ryan took care of us the whole time from water, working with us until close, good conversation and just helpful advice on different options. 10/10 recommend Jim Glover in Owasso!
Called before hand to get ball rolling. Was hooked up with sales person soon upon arrival. Minimal time spent in waiting area. Thank you mark for all your assistance.
Found the exact truck I wanted for a great deal however I knew it was a 4 Hour drive. Mark Back is who worked with me, he got me the exact deal I wanted and I even had a trade-in that I took pictures of and sent to him. Can't say thank you enough, was a pleasure to work with Mark and the rest of the staff.
Mark Back was as authentic of a salesman as we have had. His words over the phone and in person where in sync which has not been the norm in our experience. Great experience at Jim Glover! Everything we told Mark we wanted and needed in a car and financially, he made happen.
Thanks to Mark Back, Eric Cole, and Scott Zuspan, I was able to take home a brand new 2019 Ram 2500 for a great price. These guys were east to work with and gave fair money for trade in. When I came to pick up the truck, I was only at the dealer for around 45 minutes, they had everything ready to go, the pickup was detailed, clean and full of fuel.
Found a jeep i was intersested in and called and spoke with mark he was great courteous and very knowledgeable i will deffintetly recommend him.
Everyone we dealt with was kind without being pushy and helped us get the best deal possible. I would highly recommend Scott and Mark as your sales guides!
Mark Back was a pleasure to deal with! I had found what I wanted online but found out it was sold. He found another one that I actually liked better and made us a quick and easy deal!
Great customer service!! Mark Back worked very hard to get me financed at an affordable rate! I will definitely do business with them again! I am a very happy customer!
I went to Jim Glover really unsure if I would be able to get a new truck being I had no credit history but I was treated very nice and low and behold they were able to send me home in a brand new truck!!! All the staff was friendly and helpful! I have and will continue to tell all my friends and family to shop here!
I started off thinking no way they could put me a new vehicle, if they could it be base only. Mark put me in a very nice well optioned brand new truck. All online and by phone, I spent maybe 30 minutes on the lot
Just stopped to test drive, Mark took the time to explain the different models. Never felt any pressure to make a decision. Mark took the time to get us exactly what we were asking for and made us a deal we could not walk away from. Best car buying experience by far. Thank you Jim Glover Jeep and Mark Back.
Pricing was competitive and the people that worked there were very nice and accommodating. The truck was as nice as it seemed in the pictures.
The salesman cared about what we needed and worked very hard to get us the best deal. We walked away knowing we will buy here from now on.
I would recommend Jim Glover Dodge. The sales staff was friendly and knowledgable about their vehicles. The overall process was great and prices are fair.
I was searching online for a good deal for a new vehicle and found that Jim Glover had the vehicle I was looking for at a great price. I made my deal for the vehicle completely over the phone for the vehicle and for them to deliver the vehicle to my house. All in all myself as the customer got what I wanted at a price I was happy with. Now the experience had its stressful time but at the end I did get what I was wanting. The sales team was very on point with my request. This was my first time buying a vehicle online and on the phone with never actually going to the dealership. I would buy from them again.
My experience at Jim Glover was fantastic! John Britton was my sales associate and he was very knowledgeable, friendly, and could answer all my questions. He was not pushy like I have felt at other dealerships and the finance process was a breeze! I would highly recommend everyone to go and see John at Jim Glover.
Got a great deal , and the service and sale staff were great. We ended up getting a 2017 Nissan Armada SL! It was quick and easy.
Everyone is super friendly and my salesman John Britton was a pleasure to work with. He worked to get me what I needed on my trade-in. Overall I was very pleased with my buying experience here!
I am glad Jared Glover took a special interest in making my experience a good one. Before that there were too many people involved. Thanks
Hassle and pressure free! John Britton I'm sales kept the process easy and casual. I found an amazing truck with everything I wanted and more and then John went to work to get it to the price I wanted. I ended up with a lot of truck for a great price without feeling like I had been placed in a pressure cooker. The truck was delivered At the end of the process beautifully detailed and full of gas. This was a great buying experience and I look forward to working with their service department to keep this truck maintained. Thanks to John and the entire team at Jim Glover that worked behind the scenes to make this a great experience!
This was the worst new car buying experience we have ever had.We found two trucks online so we knew what we wanted when we got there.One was being driven by an employee and was very dirty.That was understandable. we decided that was our favorite so we made an appointment for 3 days later so they could detail it and we could test drive.We arrived on time but again the truck was not clean so it was hard to see what we were purchasing.We looked it over and noticed two distinct things we wanted fixed before we would purchase. One two inch scratch that was not bad but was down to the metal so we asked that it be touched up so it would not rust. The other was to clean the driver side visor where dirty hands had been touching it.We were buying a used vehicle but it was less than a year old, had only 20,000 miles on it and we were paying 50,000.00. I didn't think we were asking too much. Sales experience was terrible as well but I won't go into that. We eventuality agreed on a price and again made an appointment to come back a third time 3 days later to pick it up and expected it to be detailed. We got there on Saturday and the truck was still not detailed and the visor was not cleaned. the final straw was when they handed us one key fob. I expressed my disappointment in the entire process and was told by a GM if we would give them a 5 star rating we could bring the truck back at our convenience and they would detail it and steam clean the visor and give us some diesel for our trip. He would also try to get us another key. We left very disappointed but decided to give them another chance. When my husband called the GM on the following Wednesday he never called back and has not to this day. Kevin the salesman did let us know we would not be getting another key and he was sorry. All they cared about from start to finish was us giving them a 5 star rating. Businesses earn that and they fell very short! We love the truck but we will never go back or recommend JIm Glover Dodge.
John and Tucker welcomed me very well. I was closing the deal yesterday for a vehicle. Tucker mentioned that I would need to finance through the dealership and final price would be without tinted windows. The original agreement, with John and Tucker, was a specific price, with financing through my bank, which included tinted windows. I decided to decline the deal because I was not allowed to finance through my bank, because Tucker said the dealership can't afford me financing through my own bank. Also, it ended up not being included with tinted windows. I wish I was told all this beforehand, before I drove about 25 minutes to owasso to close the deal, which John and Tucker knew. It was unfortunately a waiste of my time. I went from going in process to close the deal to declining the deal.
I was extremely impressed with the ease and speed of buying the car. Everyone was friendly and it was a simple transaction. The price was also fantastic and way, way below other dealers.
Sarah and Eric were so great! They made the process as quick and easy as possible. I will definitely be back for my next Jeep!
Sarah was phenomenal! She was super responsive and overall a pleasure to work with. Will return to Jim Glover for all future purchases. -Ryan & Rebecca Bauer
Sarah was awesome and listened to what I said and without me sayin what kinda vehicle I wanted or needed, she just knew what I woud like. The whole team kept pushing to get me approved as a first time buyer and the 55in tv was a bonus.
My experience was amazing. The people were all friendly and very helpful. Sarah was very good at her job and was easy to work with. I would highly recommend Jim Glover Owasso to everyone.
I have been working with Jacob on my deal for the past couple of months shopping around and without a doubt there is not a better place to do business. I couldn't be any happier to be a part of the Glover family. Every person at the dealership has your needs at heart.
Bought a Ram 2500 Laramie Cummins. Very pleased with all the sales and financing crews. Had a great experience. Definitely reccomend letting them assist you with your new vehicle purchase.
Jacob is the guy to go see. No pushy sales tactics. He listened to what I wanted and got me a great deal. I love my new Jeep!
I had a great experience with Justin. He is awesome and worked like crazy to get us approved. He has got a customer for life.
Justin and his crew are awesome and very helpful. They really went to work for me. If anyone is in the market for a vehicle go see Justin Kallam and Jacob Shelton.
I had a great experience with Justin. He is awesome and worked like crazy to get us approved. He has got a customer for life.
Josh was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional and not pushy. I would highly recommend him to friends and relatives looking for a new or used car.
Jacob is the guy to go see. No pushy sales tactics. He listened to what I wanted and got me a great deal. I love my new Jeep!
This will be the third vehicle I've purchased from Jim Glover. The sales people are awesome. There's no pressure, they really want to get you in to a car that matches your budget. they gave me a ton of options to choose from. I can truly say this is my dealership and i will not go anywhere else.
Tyler, Tucker and Eric were very eager to please us they got us the payment that we could afford. Would highly recommend the sales man

The 10 Biggest References to the Hudson Valley, NY, in Pop Culture, Music, and Movies in 2011
Poptional Reading delivers the biggest references to our region in 2011
(page 1 of 10)
It's written somewhere in the blogger handbook that all years must end with some sort of top-ten list. And so, as in year's past, I bring you the biggest references to our region this year.
10. They Might Be Giants's Authenticity Trip
This barely made it on to the list because They Might Be Giants isn't the most mainstream of bands, and the reference they make isn't on a proper album — just a collection of B-sides and rarities. But the song "Authenticity Trip" makes multiple references to one of our hometown heroes: Ichabod Crane, the creation of Washington Irving, whose stories took place all over the Hudson Valley. Operative lyrics: Tonight Sleepy Hollow's just a few miles away/With dramatic re-enactments and an overnight stay. I can only imagine that they're referring to the Horseman's Hollow. Maybe they heard about it when they played the Tarrytown Music Hall a couple years ago. Hear the reference at 1:41 below.

CORN - May '09 Electronic
Open - $3.85 1/4, High - $3.89 1/2, Low - $3.80 3/4, Close - $3.85 3/4 Up $.01 1/4.
Thoughts - Long Term (6 months) - Bullish/Higher
Yesterday I said: "Early resistance was a common theme in corn today the session high was indeed made early in the day. Today's trade in the May '09 contract was ugly to put it lightly and we closed below yesterday's low which isn't encouraging. As I've said recently I am looking for an opportunity to purchase May '09 corn around $3.76 1/2 if I can. $3.76 3/4 is our next downside target assuming we can break Monday's low of $3.83. I will gain ownership at $3.76 1/2 if possible against the $2.80 put options we own. I think this down turn in the market is a correction of what will be a longer-term higher move in the market based off of inflation fears. I am looking for the market to have follow through to the downside tomorrow and experience an early low and a late high"
May '09 corn: The May '09 corn contract is indeed looking for a bottom for the week but it doesn't seem to want to stop moving lower. I had an order in to buy May '09 corn at $3.76 3/4 to re-own what I exited at $4.03 but I didn't get my fill. I still have a bull call spread in place in case I am wrong. I think we will have an early low tomorrow and a late high because of the downward movement we've had this week and Friday profit taking and position squaring going into the weekend. I still have a cycle projection for corn to be soft (lower) into the week of next week.
Bottom line: I am looking for the market to experience an early low and a late high because of the aforementioned profit-taking going into the weekend. I will continue to try and buy around $3.76 3/4.
(R3) Resistance 3: $3.94 3/4
(R2) Resistance 2: $3.89 3/4
(R1) Resistance 1: $3.87 3/4
Today's close: $3.85 3/4
(S1) Support 1: $3.85
(S2) Support 2: $3.80 3/4
(S3) Support 3: $3.76 3/4
MEAL - May '09 Electronic
Open - $317.10, High - $329.40, Low - $316.80, Close - $329.40 Up $12.10
Thoughts - Long Term (6 months) - Bullish/Higher
Yesterday I said: "I'm looking for the market to have follow through to the downside tonight/tomorrow and experience an early low and a late high. I still feel the market is near a top and today could very well be this week's high. I will wait to re-enter an aggressive position in the market until we get back near $300.00 if we get there. Technically speaking there could be more sell stops below $314.50 tomorrow."
May '09 meal: Reading my thoughts from yesterday proves the market has a mind of its own and will do what it pleases as it screamed through my resistance levels. The sell stops below $314.50 were never tripped today because the market never got that low. There is another potential sell signal setup tonight if the market opens above $329.40 and trades below this level it will trigger a sell on the candle stick charts. I am keeping my call spreads in place for now to maintain ownership if the market continues to move higher and will look to get more aggressive positions in place on a price decline.
Bottom line: I'm looking for the market to have follow through to the upside early tonight/tomorrow and experience an early high and a late low. I see a potential sell signal ONLY if we open at $329.50 or higher in tonight's trade. If the market opens slightly lower, then it is primed for a follow through move higher tomorrow. Stay objective in this market and don't chase it if you don't have coverage in place; if you need to protect meal use a call option for now and buy on a dip.

HOGS - June '09 GLOBEX
Open - $73.40, High - $74.10, Low - $73.175, Close - $73.275 Up $.225
Thoughts - Long Term (6 months) - Friendly
Yesterday I said: "I'm looking for the market to be higher tonight/tomorrow and experience an early high and a late low. I expect the June '09 hog contract to open higher tonight and follow through with early strength because of higher cash and cutout but falter as the day progresses. Seasonally we tend to move lower from today's close until the April 30th close and I will stick with the 80% odds of that seasonality along with the other signals that show up to support that type of move."
June '09 hogs: The early high and late low happened again today and tomorrow is showing signs of similar activity. Today's trade action on the daily chart was nothing to brag about as we closed near where we opened. The cash market was lower at noon which gave an excuse for the futures to move lower the balance of the day. As stated in the above paragraph I am sticking to a cautious short-term outlook in the hogs as we move into the last half of April with the seasonal tendency to move lower in years where we closed above $70.00 on April 15th in the June contract.
Bottom line: I'm looking for the market to be higher tonight/tomorrow and experience an early high and a late low. Once again the cutout was up by $.65 today and should provide some support for tomorrow's market; however, nothing is a "secret" anymore so I expect that some of today's positive cutout news has already been traded. I am sticking to my thoughts of early high and late low for tomorrows June '09 hog trade.

Pasta's reputation — restored!
With the bad press that pasta's been getting in these carb-phobic times, you may have given it up entirely. The truth is, pasta is only a problem when the noodles make the meal. The trick is rounding it out with healthy add-ins. Here, Whole Foods Markets' executive chef Steven Petsevsky has tossed in a day's supply of vegetables; they supply lots of vitamin C and good-for-you phytochemicals — plus fiber. Shrimp adds a kick of protein, and a handful of fresh herbs makes all the flavors sparkle. Self's testers' verdict: yum.
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- 6 sun-dried tomato halves
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium green bell peppers, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 cup artichoke hearts in brine, drained and quartered
- 2 medium tomatoes, cut into thin wedges
- 1 tbsp minced fresh basil
- 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley
- In a small bowl, soak sun-dried tomatoes in hot water 20 minutes to soften. Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling salted water until tender, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté shrimp, onion, peppers, broccoli florets, garlic and oregano 5 minutes, adding a bit of water to prevent sticking if needed. Mince the softened sun-dried tomatoes and add to the pan with artichokes, tomato wedges and cooked pasta; continue to cook, stirring, about 2 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender and pasta is heated through. Add herbs; serve immediately.

Collegium Zieleński/Stanisław Galoński
rec. Church of St Mary of Fatima, Kraków, 13 June - 8 August 2011. DDD
Track List at end of review
'Opera Omnia' in the case of Polish composer Mikołaj Zieleński means only two known works, but they are colossal. So huge, in fact, that each has been recorded by DUX across three CDs. All six discs are available in a recently-released boxed set, but initially - and rather strangely, it must be said - each volume was issued separately.
The first three reviewed here, Collegium Zieleński's recording of the Offertoria Totius Anni, published in Venice in 1611, appeared between 2009 and 2011. Now is clearly a better time to acquire these works, with the project complete and qualitative integrity quantifiable. The discs are unquestionably worth consideration, albeit with certain caveats that will loom larger or smaller, depending primarily on the listener's sensitivities towards authentic performance.
Choir size is the chief issue. Both Collegium Zieleński and Capella Cracoviensis - the latter appearing only on volume 1 - consist of a sizeable array of SATB voices with a complement of instrumentalists. The quantity of singers gives rise to a certain loss of internal detail, whilst the different-sized voice groupings arguably create minor imbalances. Nevertheless, the singing is generally well blended and in any case of a high quality. The sung Latin has a central European flavour, meaning that in some ways it is superior to a typically British or American rendition, especially in the pronunciation of every [r], which the latter nationalities frequently take to be optional. On the other hand, the Polish rendition of 'caeli' is no less disturbing for Latin purists. Instruments are very sparsely deployed, mostly no more than subtle organ support, a fact which - regardless of any debate regarding the composer's express wishes (addressed in the booklet notes) - creates a certain homogeneity of sound that makes a straight-through audition rather a daunting prospect.
Those who purchase more than a single disc will thus find that a more 'spread-out' approach to listening produces a greater appreciation of the enormity of Zieleński's achievement. Little is known about the composer. Some sources give his birth date as around 1550, but there seems to be little if any reliable evidence for this. He is chiefly known from the publication of his two separate cycles for the church year, both dedicated to Wojciech Baranowski, Archbishop of Gniezno and primate of Poland. In the Offertoria there are 56 items, all polychoral: 12 for two seven-part choirs, 43 for two eight-part choirs, and a final 12-part magnificat for three. Overall, the music is reminiscent, even without the expected instrumental amplification, of Zieleński's Italian contemporary Giovanni Gabrieli, though less demonstrative and less innovative.
DUX's engineering is good on the whole, although there is quite a lot of reverberation and the gap between tracks seems artificially long - around ten seconds - which, combined with the use of digital silence, gives a certain sense of discontinuity. Kraków's Church of St Mary of Fatima has been used to record all three volumes, but there are four years between one end and the other, and discerning ears may notice a slightly different audio 'feel' in places, most obviously within the volume one, where the two years that separate the two choirs' parts constitute a curious anomaly. Regrettably, someone whispers near the microphones in the final second of the final Magnificat, picked up by the equipment but not by the engineer/producer.
Booklets give the original Latin texts with Polish and English translations. There are basic biographies of Zieleński and performers, with small, 'Communist-style' black and white photos. English translations of the accompanying notes in volume 1 are by a non-native, but are reasonably competent. Volume 2 employs the same translator with better notes on Zieleński this time, albeit basically a paraphrase of the first. Volume 3 has slightly different notes by a second author, but still saying much the same thing. Here though a different non-native translator gives a shoddier rendition of the Polish, as for example: "an outstanding talent of Polish artist, who is still not enough known and appreciated both in Poland and in the world." Track listings in each case are highly detailed.
All in all, these are recordings that will appeal almost exclusively to collectors of the period or of Polish music, though no one whose only previous experience of this era is Thomas Tallis is likely to be disappointed with a disc, or indeed three, of Zieleński's epic late-Renaissance-cum-proto-Baroque music.

I have a 04 early build 6.0 and need to replace number 1 & 3 injectors. I have the #1 injector out but the #3 is stuck in the hole. Truck has obviously been worked on many times before I acquired it. The #3 injector is missing the ball washer on the bottom of the hold down bolt. Looking for suggestions on how to remove it?
I have rebuilt injectors, glow plugs, glow plug harnesses and valve covers gaskets on the way and should have everything I need to make this truck healthy again by next weekend.
Another note; the whole valve body came lose from the top of the injector, luckily I was able to find the two little bolts that hold it on. I just don't understand why it would come apart like that????

Indian philosopher
Nāgārjuna (c. 150 – 250), called the "second Buddha", was an Indian Buddhist priest and thinker. He systematized Mahayana Buddhist philosophy around the central concept of the emptiness (shunyata) of all existents (dharmas).
- To those possessed of breeding, learning, handsome looks,
Who have no wisdom, neither discipline, you need not bow.
But those who do have these two qualities,
Though lacking other virtues, you should revere.
- Letter to a Friend (Snow Lion: 2013), stanza 28
No suffering is self-caused.If suffering were caused by each,
Nothing causes itself.
If another is not self-made,
How could suffering be caused by another?
Suffering could be caused by both.
Not caused by self or by other,
How could suffering be uncaused?
- Mūlamadhyamakakārikā 14.8–9
- trans. Jay Garfield, The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way (1995), ISBN 0195093364
- The science, which teaches arts and handicrafts
Is merely science for the gaining of a living;
But the science which teaches deliverance from worldly existence,
Is not that the true science?
- Prajñadanda (The Staff of Wisdom) attributed to Nagarjuna
- Even three times a day to offer
Three hundred cooking pots of food
Does not match a portion of the merit
In one instant of love.
- The Precious Garland, 283
- "Although you may spend your life killing,
You will not exhaust all your foes.
But if you quell your own anger,
your real enemy will be slain."
- Nagarjuna & Sakya Pandita. (1977). Elegant sayings. Cazadero, California: Dharma Publishing.
- If you desire ease, forsake learning.
If you desire learning, forsake ease.
How can the man at his ease acquire knowledge,
And how can the earnest student enjoy ease?

AGO 2009 NO. 8 > Dec 11 2009
1. The Legislature may create a basic education program of early learning that is limited to students who are at risk of educational failure. However, article IX, section 1 of the Washington Constitution would preclude limiting such a program to students from low-income households, absent a showing that low family income is an accurate proxy for the risk of educational failure. This would include showing that other students facing the risk of educational failure are not excluded based on family income.
