Abels Barbershop: A trip to the past

By Joe Olvera , 2012
men, from soldiers at Fort Bliss to big-time politicians and just regular folks who like for his barber to take his time, to help him relax, and to do the best job possible. Too many barbershops dont do the work we do, Garcia said. They want to get their customers in and out like an assembly line. But, these arent products, these are real-live people. We treat everyone the same. We dont hurry up the job for anybody. They all get the same treatment. Garcia, 52, said he has been married 32 years and has three boys and one girl, three of them work in the shop. On the shops website, two clients wrote com-

Men are you

tired of going into a barbershop where you want to relax while your hair is being worked on, only to find yourself in a snipsnip situation and youre out the door in less than five minutes? Aare you longing for a clean shave where a towel made hot by a vaporizer is wrapped around your face to make the whiskers soft and easy to shave, but, you cant find such a barbershop? Are you looking for someone to give you a razor cut, leaving your hair exactly as you want it? Well, look no more. Abels Barbershop, at 1605 George Dieter, Ste. 205, is just the place for you. We do old-fashioned hair-cuts, where we take our time to give our clients the best service they can receive, says owner Abel Garcia. But, we dont do only old-fashioned haircuts. We also do modern cuts. Whatever the client wants, thats what we do. However, we do believe in sticking to our
roots because you dont see this type of barbershop anymore. Garcia has been cutting hair since he was 16 years old, when his dad gave him an ultimatum. You either stay in
school, or you learn to cut hair by working in my shop. When I turned 18, I was already a professional. I did attend a barber college, but, as an instructor, not as a student. Garcia said his clientele runs the gamut of
The da Vinci machine is the future of surgery

Photos and story by Ricky Jimenez Carrasco steadier hand and precise movements. The system consists of several robotic arms whose working ends are smaller than an adult pinkie finger. The surgical team makes small incisions in different locations around the surgery site. The arms are then inserted, where the working tips, that can be as small as 5 millimeters, will be performing the grasping, cutting, and cauterizing. Since each cut is as small and precise as possible, there is less bleeding, less trauma, and a faster recovery time for each procedure. This less invasive method ultimately results in a shorter hospital stay. hold a piece of tissue almost indefinitely or move it around with a full range of motion, depending on what is needed. According to Justo Aguirre R.N., manager of the system at Sierra Providence, "the learning curve was alot faster than when we were trained in laporascopic surgery." A surgical team consists of the operating doctor, the lead nurse, the anesthesiologist, and several medical technicians. "All this is just moving towards better patient care, this is the future of surgery. With this machine, the patient will endure less pain, smaller incisions, less hospital stay and faster recovery." Currently, the da Vinci machine, named so because Leonardo da Vinci was one of the first scientists to design a robotic machine and one of the first people to study the interior human anatomy, is being used for many gynecological, gastrointestinal, prostratic procedures, anywhere where fine, precise cuts will are better for the patient. In the end, though, medical procedures can be better gauged with how the patient feels and recovers. "Each patient is, of course different, based on prior health, age, reaction to the procedure. The patient is usually sent home after less than 48 hours and only with a Motrin prescription for the pain. This patient should be completely recovered in less than a month."
"The key difference between a hysterectomy done traditionally and one done with the da Vinci system is one of time. A traditional procedure like this could take up to two hours and a hospital stay of around two weeks for recuperation. For this patient, we took 40 minutes and, barring any complications, she should be home this time tomorrow." So says Dr. Genevieve GarciaFraire, OB/GYN at Sierra Providence Hospital, the surgeon who actually performed the procedure I witnessed.

Due to the enlarged state of the uterus, a full hysterectomy was recommended. Dr. Garcia-Fraire, who graduated from Austin High and UTEP before going to medical school, was very enthusiastic about the new machine. "We've had the da VInci since late 2011 and we've done many procedures with it. I'd say it gives me 10 times better control than with my own hands." The surgeon performs the surgery while sitting in front of a viewer several feet away. The screen gives the surgeon a binocular view of what she is doing, a huge step up from the laparoscopic surgery methods where the doctor directly and mechanically controls each "arm" while viewing a normal screen.

Become a Weather Observer

Did you know there is a site on the web that you can go to get a more accurate measurement of precipitation around the area? Its called CoCoRaHS, which is an acronym for the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network. CoCoRaHS is a unique, non-profit, community-based network of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds working together to measure and map precipitation (rain, hail and snow). The network originated with the Colorado Climate Center at Colorado State University in 1998. In the years since, CoCoRaHS has expanded rapidly with over 9,000 weather observers in thirty states. The aim of this organization is to provide data for educational and research applications. This huge network uses low-cost measurement tools, stressing training and education, and utilizing an interactive Web-site. Heres how it works: Each time a rain, hail or snow storm crosses the area, volunteers take measurements of precipitation from as many locations as possible. These precipitation reports are then recorded on the web site www.cocorahs.org. The data are then displayed and organized for folks to analyze and apply to daily situations ranging from water resource analysis and severe storm warnings to neighbors comparing how much rain fell in their backyards. There are many sites located across Las Cruces and New Mexico but not too many currently in the El Paso area (less than ten so far). However, you can help increase these numbers. The website wants you to know that this is a community project. Everyone can help, young, old, and in-between. The only requirements are an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can effect and impact our lives. If you are interested in joining and being a precipitation gathering volunteer, in El Paso you can do so on their website. Again, here is the website: www.cocorahs.org.
Weather Trivia: What is meant by a Trace of rainfall?

A. Not enough to measure but a few drops are visible in the rain gauge B. No such thing as a Trace C. .02 D. Rainfall that is under .10 E. Rainfall that overflows the rain gauge

by Joe Olvera , 2012
Continued from page 3 On a personal note, Abel has been my personal barber for most of those 25 years. They are the best in this business. Guest 71693: Wow! What a place. A very friendly atmosphere. Employees are professional and courteous. A new touch to an old school style. Weve made our reputation and our clients keep coming back, said Garcia. I started out at my dads barbershop when I was 16. I started shining shoes and sweeping the floor. I learned by watching my father. He was a consummate professional who treated everyone with courtesy and with respect. He left me a legacy on which I could grow. I love my work, I love my clients, and Ill keep doing this until the day I die.
Elect Inocente Quintanilla for County Commissioner

I like Quintanilla. He should be elected County Commissioner of Precinct 3 in the upcoming runoff election against that other guy. Why Quintanilla? Because hes an honorable man with a great deal of experience in the political arena and because, for the first time in history, he didnt embarrass voters as others who have held that position did. Quintanilla has proved to be a good man who has done well by his constituents. That other guy, on the other hand, is a dirty fighter. Let me tell you why I think that other guy doesnt deserve to win the election. You see, hes an attack dog. From the very outset, he attacked not only Quintanilla, but he brutally attacked his other opponent, Dora Oaxaca, for having worked with the disgraced commissioner of that precinct, Willie Gandara Jr. Basically, he judged and convicted her of Guilt by Association when Oaxaca had not been charged with any wrong-doing, except that she helped him get elected, as she has helped others in their political campaigns. That other guy put out really nasty fliers on both Quintanilla and Oaxaca. He came our snarling like a mad dog, accusing them both of wrongdoing, or, at least, what he considers wrong-doing. For one thing, he hates Quintanilla, saying that he has a penchant for doing his best at a job, then resting on his laurels, and living off his well-deserved retirement benefits. Theres some truth to that, because Quintanilla did work for the Socorro ISD as one of its Superintendents. He then retired and is drawing a healthy pension. But, I ask you. Whats wrong with that? Hes an educated man who used his skills to land a great job at a great school district. So, does he deserve it or not? But, really, thats not the issue because, to my way of thinking, he earned it. He put his time and his skills in the district, didnt do anything untoward in his 37-years unlike some recent scofflaws, then retired, opting to run for the office of State Rep. for District 75. For the past ten years or so, he worked hard representing his district for the measly salary of $600 a month, or $7,200 a year. Now that other guy is upset because Quintanilla stands to collect another retirement benefit of some $30,000 a year. Again, I ask what in the hell is wrong with that? You mean to tell me that other politicians who work for the state are not aware that, If they survive, they too will receive a similar retirement pension? Yes, there is, of course, some altruism involved, some form of working for the common good. Thats a given. Thats the reason most people run for political office, Ill grant you that much. But, come on, whats wrong with wanting to receive a living wage from the state after years of working for less than minimum wage? Is there a bit of jealousy from that other guy? Hes too young to be receiving any form of retirement benefits from anybody. Wait a minute, though, didnt he put in a few years working for Congressman Silvestre Reyes at an excellent salary? Is he receiving some sort of pension for his years at that job? And, now, the latest from that other guy. He says that Chente only wants the job of County Commissioner so that he can draw a salary of $65,000, serve a few years, then retire with yet another pension. But, excuse me for asking, isnt that what that other guy wants? According to his stats, Chente stands to gain close to one million dollars in ten years of retirement. Would that I could generate that kind of income in this, my retirement years. But, no. Tell me one other thing, isnt that what America is all about? Arent we supposed to work towards a good salary, a good retirement for our twilight years? Are we living in a communist country? I dont think so. So, come on vote for Chente Quintanilla for County Commissioner of Pct. 3, and, come on Dora endorse him. Youll be glad you did. Sin Fin
Dcor Score by roSe bennett Gilbert Q: We just finished fixing up our little place at the shore ... a lot of hand-me-downs from our city house, plus neat stuff from local yard sales. With the walls all newly painted, I haven't hung anything on them yet. My husband would kill me for too many nail holes (just kidding). But seriously, what kind of art is most appropriate for a lake house? A: The answer is the same for any house anywhere: What's appropriate is what you like. Hanging art on the wall is like accessorizing a dress: It's the finishing touch that completes the outfit. It's also an expression of your individuality and taste. And, in the case of a second home, the "accessories" could logically relate to the home's location: Think seascapes, canoe paddles, fishing gear ... you get the idea. Have fun shopping, but don't rush the process. Make each selection contribute to the overall personality of your little place. Here's inspiration from designer Phoebe Howard (aka "Mrs. Howard," the design columnist), borrowed from her attractive new book, "The Joy of Decorating." She made the "art" she's hung in this seaside breakfast nook: four pairs of bright Bernardo flip-flops framed in Lucite boxes. She found them at an antique show, Phoebe writes: "thirty pairs ... all in size 7-and-ahalf and all in perfect condition. I loved imagining their former owner clearly a woman after my own heart when it comes to shoes!" Following her example, you could frame anything from a shell collection to sand dollars to ship miniatures there's almost no end to the nautical-but-nice options. In fact, the more eccentric the art, the more interesting the interior. I just visited a new housing development in a former lumber mill in Richmond, Va. (Beckstoffer's Mill Lofts & Apartments by the nonprofit Better Housing Coalition), where antique woodworking machinery is revered as sculpture. There's a huge molding jointer in one apartment complex lobby, a band saw preserved in another.
Choosing Art to Live With Is a Real Art Indeed
...and a good lesson for every home decorator: Art is whatever you can envision.

Sir James Dyson the English inventor ("cyclonic" vacuum cleaners, bladeless fans and the like) may be one of the world's richest men, easily able to buy any old masterwork he desires. But when he and his wife renovated the antique mill on their 300-acre estate in Gloucestershire, they refurbished the giant old waterwheel and made it the looming focal point of their dining room.

No-Calorie Sweeteners Safe: Are They Effective?

An article in The New York Times recently examined the risks of artificial sweeteners. At first blush, it seems we are less likely to gain weight if we sweeten tea or coffee with an artificial, calorie-free sweetener. And today, far more diet-branded drinks are sold than their sugary counterparts. The price is the same, so why not? First, do people who skimp on calories by using artificial sweeteners lose weight? Obesity expert Dr. David Ludwig, writing in the Harvard Letter, reported that sugar substitutes contribute to weight gain. Artificial sweeteners are 1,000 times sweeter than table sugar.

DEAR ABBY by Abigail Van Buren
SUCCESSFUL CAREER CHANGE SOURS LONGTIME FRIENDSHIP

DEAR ABBY: I am 39, married, and a professional woman with a good income. My best friend, "Barbie," and I both went to work after high school without completing our education. However, after several years I decided to go to college and get a degree so I could change careers. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made. My income has more than doubled. Barbie is obviously jealous of my new life, which affords me opportunities to travel, take vacations, and have the money to buy things I couldn't afford before. She and her family barely make ends meet. Although we have been like sisters since childhood, I now feel as if I must walk on eggshells around her - guarding my conversation lest I mention a new purchase or having time off. If something does slip out, Barbie becomes defensive and sarcastic. Abby, I shouldn't have to apologize for my new lifestyle. I worked hard to make a change for myself. What can I do? I really like her, but this is becoming difficult. An example: We went shopping last week. She bought only a gift she had to have for a birthday -- nothing for herself. I felt uncomfortable with my purchases, even though they weren't extravagant. She made a comment to the effect that "it must be nice to be able to buy something so frivolous." I should mention that Barbie's parents are still willing to send her through college or a tech school, even at the age of 39, but she chooses not to make the effort. -- TIRED OF FEELING APOLOGETIC DEAR TIRED: When your friend commented that it must be nice to be able to buy something frivolous, you had an opening to tell her that before you earned your degree you couldn't either, which was one of the reasons you decided it was time to change your life by returning to school. Your friend is fortunate she has parents who are able (and willing) to pay for her college education. How sad that she lacks the determination and drive to get one. As things stand, the nature of your friendship with Barbie must change. If the relationship is to continue, you will have to forgo the shopping trips together and any references to your new lifestyle. Otherwise, they will be perceived as bragging, and the comparisons may be painful to her. Be prepared to be sensitive to that, or move on. ** DEAR ABBY: I am the owner of a small boutique for women. My only full-time employee is everything an employer could ask for. However, she often comes in looking like she just crawled out of bed and doesn't own an iron. What can I say to help her become more aware of her appearance? I don't want to hurt her feelings. I jokingly told her to "retire" a pair of slacks she frequently wears because they are too tight and the rear end is shiny. But this week she came in wearing them again -- so evidently, she didn't get the message. Please help. Thank you. -- ANNE IN MISSOURI DEAR ANNE: Because your employee didn't take the hint, you must be more direct with her. Explain that you expect her to dress more carefully for work because: 1. Her attire represents the image of the shop, and 2. a salesperson who is sharply dressed inspires customers to shop. Then tell her EXACTLY what you expect from her, and offer to help her coordinate some acceptable outfits -- perhaps by giving her a discount on some items from the store. If that doesn't work, consider putting together a "uniform" for her to wear when she's working. It's what some of the top designers have done in their stores. ** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

most readily available artificial sweeteners include aspartame (Equal), sucralose (Splenda), saccharin (Sweet'N Low) and a plant-derived, powerful, no-calorie sweetener called Stevia. In the 1990s, alarm appeared for the first time that these sweeteners might not be entirely safe. Saccharin was shown to cause bladder cancer in rats and mice that were given high doses.
does not satisfy hunger and desensitizes
Because of that study, the product is avoided by some. For a time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considered banning the substance, but eventually, in 2000, all warning signs were removed, as there is no evidence that saccharin causes any form of cancer in humans. However The New York Times article reports that the Center for Science in the Public Interest recommends avoiding aspartame and saccharin but urges no restraint on either sucralose or a new sweetener, Neotame, which the center deems to be safer. The concern about using aspartame is based on initial evidence that the sweetener is problematic for people with a genetic disorder called phenylketonuria, causing headaches and at least in one animal study was associated with an increased cancer risk. However, the center does dispel the unfounded notion that aspartame may increase the risk of multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's disease. Based upon an analysis of decades of widespread use, the potential risks of ingesting artificial or naturally occurring noncaloric sweeteners is negligible. Furthermore, even in those who use sweeteners extensively, ...Continues on page 12
us to sugar, leading paradoxically to a craving for all things sweet. So with most of us having little willpower, we obtain sugar from other sources, sneaking in one cookie or chocolate and while telling ourselves "just this once" we sneak another and another until we are so guilty that we eat even more. Now I know that this may not apply to you, but sadly it does apply to many of us (me included!). And to make matters worse, there are sugar receptors on the surface of cells that help regulate how much sugar we take in. More sweetener and less sugar results in a greater number of these receptors that, in turn, cause a more voracious appetite and whether we like it or not more food intake. Remarkably, if we add two teaspoons of sugar to coffee or tea, we are only adding a measly 50 calories. And in the long term, we would be so much better off satisfying our thirst with water and our appetite with nutritious foods that are rich in the right fats and protein, along with an abundant intake of fruits and vegetables and a modest amount of complex carbohydrates, such as cereals, grains and pasta. While it is better to choose a diet soft drink over one containing just sugar, why not consider water or the occasional glass of natural fruit juice? It seems reasonable to choose fewer artificial servings and more real ones when striving to stay healthy.

Nailing It: Nail Fashion Trends

By Sharon Mosley
When Britney Spears, Katy Perry or Miranda Lambert want to make sure their nails stand out as much as their dresses on the red carpet, they let celebrity manicurist Elsbeth Schuetz take their hands and paint her magic on their fingertips. "Nail art is very hot right now," says Schuetz,
who has received numerous beauty industry awards and works with a Los Angeles-based agency using Nailtini and Nails Selection products. "Not only can an inexpensive polish creation brighten our day without breaking the bank, it has also become de rigueur for starlets and musicians to rock attention-getting nails on red carpets and in magazines." Schuetz, known for her custom nail art and keen eye for color, works at high profile entertainment events including the Oscars, Golden Globes and "Dancing with the Stars." "There are literally thousands of different nail art
looks out there," she says. "And there are certainly a few that are not only stylish but also can be created easily whether you're a nail artist or a DIY-er." One of the nail artist's favorite designs is currently the hand painted "gradient nail" or "ombre" look. To achieve this look at home, Schuetz suggests applying a base color to the entire nail. Then add a different color randomly on the free edge, heavier on the tip and lighter as you go toward the cuticle. While still wet, you can blend with a toothpick or a fine art brush. Finish with a topcoat. "This look can also be done with the many 'gel colors' available to pros and consumers now," she adds. Schuetz also finds that nail trends currently are sparkling. "Glitter polish with various size glitter speckles applied over a clear base coat is another looks that is
hot and easy to achieve," she says. "No longer is it required to use a colored base first and then glitter on top. In fact, you can use different glitter colors and sizes for one manicure to create even more distinct effects." Another hot trend in nails is the "foiled nail," says the celebrity manicurist. "Buy gold leaf at any art and craft store and place it with your tweezers on the still wet polish." She also suggests another craft-store find to rock on your nails large gemstones. "Just glue them on a nail or two or 10, before a fun night out."
Schuetz also likes the trend of wearing different colors on different nails. "Do one or two fingers in a completely different color and let folks guess your inspiration," she says. "If you want to do more nails, try to maintain some balance by wearing different shades of the same colors or adding polka dots in the alternate color to resist looking like an Easter basket!" She also likes classic color combos for nails. "Black and white no matter what the design is a never-failing nail-art look also. Simply powerful." Schuetz is enjoying the resurgence of the popularity of nail art. "Nails are getting their due as an important fashion accessory," she says. "After all, if your nails aren't done, you're not done. A martini glass or a gorgeous clutch looks much better held by a fashionably manicured hand!"

Your Horoscope
Trending among the planets this week is the decision to go retrograde. Despite the bad reputation of retrogrades, they can be quite a positive cycle, giving us all a chance to backtrack, double check, review and assess. Without a retrograde, it would be hard to appreciate the full glory of progress. On Friday the 13th, Uranus will turn around and march in the opposite direction until December 13. Mercury goes retrograde on Saturday. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Professionals rarely field compliments, as happy customers tend to continue silently on their way and mad ones usually speak up. Expecting that things should go right, people sometimes forget to be thankful that they do. That's why when you offer up kindness and appreciation your words mean so much. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your whims sometimes lead to uncanny coincidences and auspicious circumstances; other times, not so much. This is the kind of week that requires you to focus. Distraction may be fear in disguise. Face your fear instead. Avoid wandering away from your main focus and goals and, thus, wasting time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There's a saying: "Depression lies." The voice of sadness and anger turned inward is one of the biggest liars around, although it's not the only liar in town. Being tired and overworked with too much on your plate also brings about false thinking. Rest and take care so you can hear with clarity the cheerful truth. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Unlike some, you recognize how you've been helped along the way, and you feel an obligation to give back. And those instances when no one bothered to help you make you want to help even more because you know what it feels like to be needy and overlooked. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Heroism is relatively uncommon because it only gets the chance to be proved in dire circumstances. But potential heroes are everywhere. You recognize them because they perpetuate the standards of human decency. They do right when there is no apparent benefit. You recognize potential heroes because you are one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). History should be your best teacher, and yet sometimes she's the teacher who distributes a test and then hides out in the lounge. There's so much going on this week that the past is altogether hard to recall. Try anyway. There is a lesson you've already learned, and you don't want to have to repeat it.

tional landscape somewhat, but the change will be good. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Note how amazingly long it takes to complete the project you're not working on. There's a part of your brain that is still enmeshed in that project, and it may free you up a great deal to decide that you're never going to finish it and be good with that decision. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll be kinder than necessary. It's just how you are these days and most days in general. If someone takes advantage of your kindness, you may be saddened temporarily by the misplaced energy this represents, but you'll never regret having given so much of yourself. THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: Your support system will be enormously important, not because you'll need them to survive but because you'll need them to thrive. Fraternity will be key to choosing the right goals and accomplishing them. You'll find success this month that's better than material wealth. September brings your chance to gain skills and connect with new energy. There's a shift in your personal life in October, and you'll be spending more time with someone who complements you in an exciting way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don't like to trouble others to help you with what you can clearly do for yourself. The point is not whether you can perform the tasks at hand; of course you can. The point is whether it is prudent for you to do so given your other responsibilities and the sheer quantity of what you need to accomplish. Delegate! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Unforgettable images will pop into your mind this week while you sleep. Perhaps these mental pictures remind you of something or someone from your past, spurring a reaction that affects your future. The best dreams will happen while you're awake this weekend. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It's like you're trying to put together a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle of a maddeningly monochromatic scene. Nothing seems to fit. But through trial and error, bit by bit, it all comes together. Stay calm, persistent and experimental, and you may actually find this week's challenge rather fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As is the case with a real earthquake, the different plates that make up your life as an earth sign have a way of rubbing against one another, creating a tension that needs to be released periodically. It changes your emo-
UNPACK STRESS DAILY AND ACCEPT WHAT IS. Flight delays. Tornado warnings. Terrible service at eye-watering prices. Vacations can be minefields of stress, or they can be opportunities to let go, relax, roll with the punches and accept what is. If you can manage that mental shift, you'll come back refreshed. If not, not. ENERGY EXPRESS-O! HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU

Ovest Pizzoteca; great breakfast, lunch and dinner spots such as Boutique Eat Shop (try the cornflake encrusted French toast ); and finer dining like Trestle on Tenth, which serves Swiss-Italo-inspired cuisine (scallops with flageolets beans, butternut squash and housemade sausage) also are gathering a following.

The rooms are small but efficient. They come equipped with a platform bed on the floor, a black leather bean-bagstyle chair for seating, gleaming glass and stainless-steel bathrooms with almost miniature fixtures and an iPad resting on a wide glass shelf that substitutes as a desktop computer. The vibe is stylish, the food is good, and the service is surprising friendly and accommodating. The financiers and celebrities are claiming penthouses and apartments in the new residential buildings. And the people who lived in West Chelsea before it became the belle of the New York hipster ball are already complaining about the increase in traffic around the area. But for the visitor, West
Chelsea provides a pastiche of old and modern New York and a city in transition.

Access to the High Line is off 10th Avenue at the following intersections: Gansevoort Street, 14th Street (elevator access), West 16th Street (elevator access) , West 18th Street, West 20th Street , 23rd Street (elevator access), West 26th Street, West 28th Street, West 30th Street (elevator access).

Neighborhood by
neighborhood, New York City continues its transformation. Formerly gritty areas, like the Meatpacking District, have undergone makeovers in the last decade, becoming enclaves of urban reinvention and relatively safe tourist destinations. The latest locale to have its Cinderella moment is the West Chelsea district, sometimes called the Chelsea Riviera due to its proximity to the Hudson River. The large and loud warehouse-style clubs and the cityowned housing projects that once defined the vicinity still stand in this community located roughly between West 17th Street and West 30th Street and bordered by 10th Avenue. But all the landmarks of urban renewal are moving in or already have art galleries, trendy restaurants, edgy designer shops, a boutique hotel, renovated or glistening new condos, and street beautification paid for by public or private money. In West Chelsea, however, that beautification process has occurred 30 feet above street level in the form of the High Line. A public parklike walkway, the
High Line was created from a historic elevated freight rail line that runs the length of the neighborhood as well as beyond to the adjacent Meatpacking District. Fully opened about one year ago, the High Line is functioning as the Prince Charming in this city fairy tale, already attracting 3,000,000 visitors in the past year. With modern design touches in its railings and benches and its sustainable foliage of plants and grasses that grew up around the tracks over the 25 years that the rail line was out of use, the High Line is primarily a promenade where visitors can get a low-flying bird's-eye view of the city. On temperate days and even in the winter months, throngs of people stroll the mostly concrete plank pathways, pausing sometimes to soak in views of the newer high-rises currently under construction, the older buildings that tell of the area's industrial past and at some points the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Yet although the High Line is no doubt the highlight of the area, in many ways it is late to
the Chelsea Riviera party. Like so many urban-renewal movements, the first settlers to upgrade this territory were the art galleries, especially those priced out of Soho, New York's former art-scene hub. Now many of those establishments populate West Chelsea streets in such close proximity that visitors can wander from door to door and linger in some of the most prestigious art showcases in the world, including the Gagosian Gallery on West 24th, the Maryanne Boesky Gallery on West 22nd and the Pace Gallery on West 25th Street. In these places and in many of the other 30 or more galleries lining the streets, the shows can rival museum-quality exhibits in other cities and with no entry fee. Of course the chic shops have followed, like the Comme Des Garcons store, which feels more like an art-installation space than a shopping destination. The clothing racks are worth perusing even if they are outside the budget or fashion aesthetic. Artisan pizza places such as

Driving Efficiently
Americans drive an average of 10,000 miles per year, per person, which includes non-drivers as well. We do a lot of that driving during the summer on family vacations and chauffeuring kids from place to place. Here are a few simple tips to save you gas and money this summer as well as reducing carbon emissions. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, several short trips all begun with a cold start can use twice as much fuel as a single, longer trip that covers the same distance. Combining errands can improve your gas mileage because your engine will be warm for more of the
Save gas and money this summer by changing your driving habits.
You save 1,200 pounds of carbon or the equivalent of 55 gallons of gas by implementing safer driving. That adds up to $130 per year you could keep in your pocket! Keeping your car in top condition will save you up to 30 percent in fuel efficiency. Dirty spark plugs or air or fuel filter will all affect your fuel economy. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), replacing a clogged air filter can increase your mileage by 10 percent, while replacing an oxygen sensor could result in an improvement as high as 40 percent. Check the air in your tires and save up to 3.3 MPG. You can find the proper pressure listed on the jamb of the driver's side door. Clean out your car! Stop paying for all the extra gas needed to haul that junk around in the back of your car. Cleaning the outside of the car keeps it streamlined and more fuel efficient by reducing drag. Another way to keep the vehicle streamlined is to remove those roof and bike racks when not in use. They only add extra weight and drag. Of course, the best way to save gas and money is to park the car and take the bicycle. More communities across the country are creating bike paths and routes, making bicycle travel easier and safer. Take your bicycle on vacation and enjoy getting around at a slower, healthier pace. Shawn Dell Joyce is an awardwinning columnist and founder of the Wallkill River School in Orange County, N.Y.

Lets Celebrate Christmas in July

Recently, I bought Christmas stocking-stuffers. I did it because my brain told me I'd stumbled upon some things that were on sale and quite perfect for my kids. But I didn't enjoy it. I'm an emotional shopper, and right now I'm all about summer. I have no desire to think about Christcredit cards this one last time. Then, I'll pay them off really fast in the new year. No one will know. It'll be OK just this one last time." Sure. Right. to forget about it. Maybe I've matured more than I give myself credit for. I've stopped shopping emotionally. I know that I just can't take the pressure, expense and the stress of the December 15 shopping crush. All that to say, like it or not, now is a good time to start thinking about the coming holidays. We've been celebrating Christmas in July for many years at Debt-Proof Living. And I've shared all kinds of ideas, hints, tips and tricks over the years in this Everyday Cheapskate column. So, do you want to join me? Do you have ideas, tips and recipes to share? Write to me at Mary@EverydayCheapskate.co m. I want to share your holiday tips, strategies and ideas so we all can benefit by starting early because I am convinced that the longer I wait, the more I end up spending. If that's not a good reason to start early, I just don't know what is. The holidays will be here before we know it. I plan to welcome them knowing that I'm ready to enjoy, that I didn't overspend and for sure I didn't set myself up for a holiday stroke.

trip. It might also mean you travel less total miles. This one simple habit change can save about 20 percent of your fuel and mileage. It also keeps 1,650 pounds of carbon out of the atmosphere and will add up to a savings of about $260 per year. Drive slower, and accelerate and brake less frequently. If you keep it at a steady 55 mph instead of 70 mph or more on the highway, you save up to 20 percent of your fuel costs. According to CNN, every ten miles per hour you drive over sixty is like the price of gasoline going up about fifty-four cents a gallon. The most fuelefficient range is between 4555 mph for most vehicles.
FOR ILLUSTRATION ONLY
mas. I like to wait until about Dec. 15, then do it all in a couple days when everything is all Christmasy and I'm in the holiday mood. Here's the problem: I've done that Dec. 15 thing, and I did it for more years than I like to recall. It always started out fun but then turned quickly into shopping panic, where I needed to buy something, anything, to cross another name off the list. Year after year, I'd say through clenched teeth and spiking blood pressure: "I'll just use the
For 20 years now, I've tried to start early (July is my target month), and while it's not all that much fun, it's good for me. I'm relaxed. I can ponder and compare. I have time to think, design and create. I've never done it perfectly where, come August or so, I have everything wrapped and ready, but each year I do a bit better. As for the stocking-stuffers, I wrote a note in my calendar on Dec. 1 to remind me what I got and where I put them. And I was surprised to find two other notes I'd already written to myself about giftwrap and cards left over from last year. Apparently, once I write something down, I give myself permission
Accelerating quickly burns twice as much gas as keeping a slow steady speed. So does braking quickly; you lose all that momentum your car just worked so hard to generate. When stuck in traffic, turn off the engine. We can lose up to one third of our fuel by idling.

Eventually, the Justice League enters the story to combat several well-known super-villains, and the result is a super-powered showdown of epic proportions!
For the first time in any LEGO game, the characters actually speak words instead of pantomiming and making sound effects. This welcome addition allows the story to become more robust and also helps to highlight the rivalry between Batman and Superman. Believe it or not, the dialogue is actually funnier than the awkward body language and comical grunting that the series is known for!
My favorite new addition, however, is the open-world game play that includes collecting items, solving puzzles, and hunting down Arkham Asylum escapees. While these activities are optional, they reward players with extra coins, golden bricks, and even additional characters to use in future playthroughs. All of this newfound freedom is in addition to the traditional linear game play that all LEGO games follow. Continues on next page
SPOTLIGHTEPNEWS.COM JULY 05, 2012 PAGE 16 Continued from page 15.....My only complaint about the openworld format is the lack of a mini-map.

DEVELOPER: From Software PUBLISHER: Capcom SYSTEM: Microsoft Xbox 360 PRICE: $59.99 (Kinect required) ESRB RATING: Mature REVIEW RATING: 1.5 stars (out of 5) Mech fans salivated over the original "Steel Battalion" because it was the first game that attempted a realistic simulation of piloting a gigantic lumbering metal monstrosity. Now a new version is available that requires the Kinect motion-sensing peripheral, but instead of making "Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor" innovative, sloppy Kinect controls send it to the
'Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor' is a Waste of Time and Money
trash bin instead! I'm sure fans of the series were
thrilled that they didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for a dedicated controller to play the
new version. The idea of using motion controls for actions such as operating the scope,
shifting gears and lifting the hatch is brilliant. However, these controls simply don't do what they're supposed to most of the time! As a result, the game is so frustrating that I wanted to throw the controller at the screen, but there's no controller to throw. Or is there? In an equally unbrilliant move, players are required to use the controller to move their Vertical Tank as well as fire the main weapons. This means I have to constantly switch between the controller and using motion controls, which not only forces me to balance the controller on my legs, but also confuses the Kinect sensor and makes it perform unintended functions. To make matters worse, enemy VTs aren't hampered by the same broken control scheme (they are controlled by A.I. after all), so they have no problem quickly blasting players to kingdom come. Honestly, who wants to play a game where you get killed ten times before finishing the first level? It's too bad that Kinect ruins this game because it has a cool visual style, great sound effects and likeable characters! Maybe a future patch will dedicate all control functions to the controller, but until then, only masochists will enjoy playing "Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor."

06/29/2012 Rated: R Genre: Comedy Mike is a man of many talents and loads of charm, he spends his days pursuing the American Dream from as many angles as he can handle: from roofing houses and detailing cars to designing furniture. But at night... he's just magic. The hot headliner in an all-male revue, he has been rocking the stage at Club Xquisite for years with his original style and over-the-top dance moves. Seeing potential in a guy he calls the Kid, Mike takes the 19-year-old under his wing and schools him in the fine arts of dancing, partying, picking up women and making easy money. It's not long before the club's newest act has fans of his own, as the summer opens up to a world of fun, friendship and good times. Starring: Channing Tatum,Alex Pettyfer,Matt Bomer,Matthew McConaughey,Joe Manganiello,Wendi McLendonCovey,Olivia Munn,Betsy Brandt,Mircea Monroe,Riley Keough

Artist Spotlight | The Presets

Flicking through the alphabetized racks of your local CD emporium youll find that releases from Australian electro wizards The Presets fit snugly between Pet Shop Boys and Elvis Presley. Could there be some weird universal synergy to this? The strident beat of the heart and the swagger of the hips: its at this musical cross point of emotive technological peaks and primal caveman rock that one finds The Presets. In 2008 The Presets (Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes) came rocketing back into the fray with their sophomore album, Apocalypso. Ranging from expansive, emotive techno, to future pagan house and choral space funk, Apocalypso demonstrated the bands undeniably canny knack for welding hook-laden pop to some of the most singular and exciting sounds of tomorrow.

In less than four years Julian Hamilton (vocals, programming and keys) and Kim Moyes (drums, programming and keys) worked their way up and out though the musical
quagmire of Sydneys club scene to become Australias foremost proponents of twisted electronic pop. Theyre now one of the most talked about and in-demand live acts today with a catalogue of dance smashes to their name. Julian and Kim had first met a decade earlier as tearaway students at Sydneys Conservatorium of Music: by day they were battling Beethoven, by night sweating it out in seedy clubs to the strains of New Order, Bjork and The Smiths. Theyd also collaborated in the largely experimental band Prop, specializing in highly impractical exotic instrumentation and non-vocal excursions in noodle. Signed in 2003 to Australias Modular Recordings (on the strength of demos which became their debut EP, the dark Blow Up) The Presets planted seeds throughout their hometown Sydney scene, which within 18 months began to reach germination internationally. Things warmed up substantially for The Presets with subsequent releases Girl And The Sea EP (2004), and their fulllength long player Beams (2005), which spawned the dance floor monsters Down Down Down, Are You The One? and I Go Hard, I Go Home. From playing to clubs kids in Barcelona, New York and Istanbul, then to thousands of S&M leather daddies at the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco, to over one hundred thousand people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and every imaginable key festival in-between, Julian and Kim have covered almost every corner of the globe with their take no prisoners live show. The Presets have announced their upcoming third album called Pacifica which will be released this September 2012.

HAIL THE TENNIS BALL

By Dr. Marty Becker Universal Uclick If theres anything more versatile than a tennis ball, I cant imagine it. One afternoon, I just sat down with a pad and started jotting down all the things you can do with a dog and a tennis ball. Heres what I came up with: than the classic.
azy Dogs still go cr for a toy never meant for them

when the ball springs back to full size in the back of the mouth, cutting off the air supply. And even if that never happens, the materials in a tennis ball are designed for ... tennis! Theyre not made to be chewed on or swallowed by dogs. So have your fun, and lots of it. But dont leave the ball with your dog when youre done. And now, if youll excuse me, I have to throw a tennis ball for our familys dogs!
2. Find. Hide the tennis ball, then let your dog find it. For dogs who are already retrievers, this game is remarkably easy to learn. Hide the ball in plain sight a couple times so shell know what you want her to do, then watch how easily she can find it anywhere. 3. Herd. Fetching uses one ball, but if youve got a herding dog, try tossing out a few and giving your dog a place to gather them all together. Since this game works with your
Even when completely exhausted by a good game of fetch, some dogs cant stand to be separated from their tennis ball.
better because you can often get them for free. If you have friends who are tennis players, ask them to save their old balls for you. A tennis ball that hasnt the oomph for a good game of tennis is still perfect for playing fetch with your dog. One important thing to know, though: Tennis balls are not chew toys. Put them away when youre done with your game of fetch. Dogs have been known to compress tennis balls in their mouths, and then die dogs natural instincts, most pick it up very quickly for a treat reward.
1. Fetch. Toss, return, repeat.

You know the drill. This is the game by which all dog activities are measured, and sometimes theres just nothing better
4. Get wet. Water dogs love nothing more than the chance to go after a favorite ball and get wet. What more could a pup want? 5. Monkey in the middle. Got kids? Got a dog?
Amuse everyone with the classic schoolyard game with the dog playing the monkey. Pass the ball by tossing, rolling, kicking whatever works, and give Rover a small treat each time he intercepts it and gives it back.
Basic precautions for Q&A biking with dog

Q: Is it safe to run a dog with a bike? My dog loves it, but we got a lecture about it from a neighbor who thinks its dangerous. What do you think? via Facebook A: Letting your dog run alongside a bike is a great way to help him burn off a days pent-up energy without wearing yourself completely out in the process. But running with bikes is not for every dog in fact, its not for most dogs. But for those with serious exercise requirements, it can be a perfect fit. If you choose to bike with your dog, make sure your dog is in good health (check in with your veterinarian), and start slowly (both in terms of speed and distance) to make sure this activity suits him. Dont even try it if hes a puller or doesnt respond to basic commands, including sit, leave it and heel. Stay on trails if you can and off busy streets if streets are your only choice. Keep your dog at a trot, not a run, and watch for signs of overheating. Never go out in the hottest part of the day, carry water to offer frequently and walk your bike and your dog for a cool-down before calling it a day. Finally, invest in a bicycle attachment that holds your dogs leash carrying the leash in your hand while biking is a recipe for a wreck, even if you have a well-behaved pup. After all, a darting squirrel or rabbit is more temptation than even most good dogs can take. Gina Spadafori Do you have a pet question? Send it to petconnection@gmail.com.
6. Flyball. This one is a real sport, and one that tennis-ball loving dogs live for once they learn to play. Add a series of jumps to a tennis ball, and youve got a fast-paced, wildly entertaining game for both people and pets, participants and spectators. Tennis balls are even

ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
This bulge is beneficial

The clubface of your woods has a characteristic that influences your golf shot, yet you dont hear a lot about it. Its called bulge, the curve of the clubface measured horizontally from the heel to the toe. Its there to make your shots less wild by starting the ball farther to the right on toe shots (opposite for lefthanders) and farther to the left on heel shots. Without this correction, your slices and hooks would be uncontrollable. Lets say your swing path is out-to-in, so you cut across the ball and pull it left of target with a wide-open face that puts a big slice on the shot. If you have the correct face bulge, the ball will start farther left than the path would indicate. This is good because it gives you more room to accommodate the slice. Thus, in your heel and toe strikes, bulge acts as the flight manager to keep the ball curving toward the target.

Timing is everything
Brian, one of the tour players I work with, is a very long hitter. The Trackman system measured his swing speed at 126 mph, and he hits his tee ball well over 300 yards. We worked on his swing for about two years and then it was time for him to compete. He has done well traveling the world, but it is very difficult to play your best golf in a different country every week. What gives tour players fits is not the motor memory of the swing the what its the when, the spot-on timing that arranges the what in a powerful sequence that just keeps repeating. The danger is that problems with the when often cause tinkering. Brian reported he was not compressing the ball and wanted to know if he should make a change in his shoulder action. He sent a video of his swing, and heres my email reply: No, its not the tilt of your shoulders dont mess with that. Your shoulders are perfect in that they angle at the ground to allow you to swing upright, which is key. If you swing more horizontal (flatter), it would trap the club behind you as when we first met, with big hooks and pushes the result. Since his shoulder turn is not complete, Brian Have you been doing flex should not have dropped his spine down yet. The drop is part of the power move during the downswing. exercises? They shore up the
key move where your upper body turns while the lower body stays quiet. This allows your weight to shift naturally, and its only near the top that the spine tilts a bit toward the target and down, as a natural response to coil. If youre not doing stretching, you should resume. And its not keeping your head still, either. The concept is to stay tall until the top. It may be as simple as just thinking about keeping the spine angle/pelvis angle (about 20 degrees) until you arrive at the top, where the angle decreases slightly, then it drops again in a power dive back to 20 then to 0 at impact. Your drop is beautiful, but it must unfold correctly; too much drop too early means a mis-sequence. Work on staying tall, i.e., keeping posture, then your downswing just unfolds. Drill: Place a normal drinking straw in your mouth or something you can see while you swing to monitor your lever. Dont let the straw drop downward during the backswing. Hit a bunch of easy shots, keeping the straw level, then film yourself with Note the increase in spine angle in this picture comthe straw and send it to me. pared to the first one. It occurred on the downswing, Best, TJ which is good, not on the backswing, which is not good.

Richard Petty (NASCAR photo)

NASCAR icon Richard Petty, the man with a record 200 victories and seven Sprint Cup titles, turned 75 this week. Petty planned to spend his birthday, Monday, at the Petty complex in Level Cross, N.C., then relax with family afterward. Then, as hes done for most of his earlier birthdays, hell travel to Daytona for the Fourth of July weekend races. This year will be extra special as hell be honored with a Red, White and Petty Blue dinner that will take place at the Wyndham Ocean Walk Resort and feature guest speakers who have been his friends for years.. Im really thankful for everyone who has supported us over the years, Petty said in a team release. I really dont think about age too much. I just keep going to the next race. Ive been doing that all my life and thats what Im going to keep doing. But, I am grateful for each day and all the fans who make this a lot of fun for us.
he results of Saturdays Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway show that, among other things, a mad Brad Keselowski is one fast fellow. Keselowski tangled with Juan Pablo Montoya early in the opening Sprint Cup practice on Friday, an incident Keselowski blamed on Montoya pulling in front of him, and it forced Keselowskis team to prepare a backup car in a hurry in the triple-digit heat. But once the race was under way Saturday night, Keselowski dominated en route to his third win of the season, a victory that all but assures him of a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, the championship battle that begins after eight more races. Keselowskis crew chief Paul Wolfe said the mad factor appeared to be in play at
Kentucky. There are definitely a lot of instances where Ive seen Brad be able to find speed in the race car when he is ticked off, Wolfe said. Whether or not hes doing it, it seems like it happens. Keselowski admitted that the incident with Montoya was on his mind over the weekend. I dont like being pushed around, and I felt like what happened on the race track, that someone was pushing me around, and I dont like that, he said. I hate that. I cant stand it, and I wont stand for that. I cant stand it. He said that while some might say that being mad in a race car can be a bad thing because of safety concerns, hes not sure a rush of adrenaline is a big negative after all.
Maybe its not. I dont know, he said. I aint the one to answer that. But I do like the result, and whatever way, whatever Ive got to do to get them, Ill get them. But Im not going to be pushed around, and thats one code that Im going to continue to live by. Keselowski added that the most important factor in the victory was the speed of his backup car. This car was fast from the second we unloaded it, he said. And he said his car needs to continue to be fast if hes going to make a serious run at the title. Youve got to win races, he said. You dont back your way the Chase. Dont rest on your laurels. Youve got to have fast car whens the Chase starts with great reliability and great execution. Its going to take all three.
Volkswagen GLI the hot-rod Jetta

One of my favorite cars and one that has always delivered a great bang-forthe-buck is the Volkswagen GTI hatchback an economy car with a sports car attitude. But not everyone is into hatchbacks and sometimes a sedan is a must. What is the sports car enthusiast to do? Volkswagen has answered with the 2012 Jetta GLI. The GLI returns after a two-year hiatus and is now based on the recently redesigned Jetta. But the GLI isnt just a Jetta with the GTIs motor. Little tweaks here and slight changes there give the GLI some athleticism and making it the sportiest Jetta ever. The most obvious changes with the GLI is its appearance. There is a new grille and front air dam that forms into a body kit along the sides. Red brake calibers can be seen through either the 17 (standard) or 18 (optional) alloy wheels. Out back there are dual exhaust tips and an optional rear lip spoiler. Last, and probably the best

up from that found in a typical Jetta. An added touch is the red stitching used throughout the cabin. And the steering wheel with its flat bottom once you wrap your hands around it, you wont want to let go of it. Its meaty feel is one of the best available in a new car today. The drivers seat isnt the only comfortable seat in the house. The GLI is quite roomy especially in back where two adults can fit with ease. Three can squeeze in but it gets a bit cozy. The GLIs 15.5 cubic foot trunk capacity is actually larger than the Honda Accords. Being behind the wheel of the GLI is plenty of fun. Its not just a Jetta with the GTI powerplant. Gone is the Jettas generic torsion-beam rear axle and in its place is a multilink rear suspension giving the car a truly independent suspension. This, along with the lowered stance and lower center of gravity..Continues on page 31
feature is that the GLI sits more than a half-inch lower than other Jettas, giving it a better stance. Like the last GLI, the new GLI is powered by one of my favorite powerplants VWs direct-injection 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This engine combined with a choice of six-speeds a manual or a dualclutch automatic, make the GLI a fantastic driving machine. It produces a solid 200 hp and 207 pound feet of torque and makes that power down
low at just 1,700 RPMs so you can really feel it. And the power doesnt quit until about 5000 RPMs. Still, the little engine will rev happily to 6,000 RPMs, where it just about runs out of steam. Not only is the engine one of my favorites, its Volkswagens as well as it can be found in most of their models and even in some Audis as well. Inside, the interior is nicely done as well.

Roush on Kenseth: Personally, we will be fine

When a race driver and his or her car owner part company, as Matt Kenseth and Jack Roush will do at seasons end, its not just a business move. It also involves personal relationships, as the two usually have worked hand-in-hand, and as teammates in a competitive environment, for a number of years. Throughout the NASCAR garage, there are drivers and owners who once worked together, but now are on opposing teams, yet still manage to maintain the friendships, or at least cordial relations. Eddie Wood, co-owner of the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford, has often said that he and his family strive to maintain good relations with all their former drivers, because no matter how they parted, those drivers are still part of the history and

heritage of their race team. Roush said last week at Kentucky Speedway that he feels the same way about his drivers both past and present. [Kenseth], like Mark Martin and Greg [Biffle] and Carl [Edwards], is a cornerstone of what we do, and his DNA is all over the things that we are known for and our success, Roush said, adding that he hopes he and Kenseth can continue their personal relationship. [For] Matt and I, and I think everybody on the team, the friendship part will survive, Roush said. I have not lost respect for Matt, and I hope he hasnt for me. Continues on next page
Volkswagen GLI...
Continued from page 29.. really makes the GLI a better handler. The test car came to me with the dual-clutch automatic and the Autobahn package that adds in a sunroof, leather-like upholstery, 18 wheels and a premium audio system. I would have gone with for the true manual - one with a clutch pedal, but I will admit, the DSG dual-clutch did produce lightning quick shifts, either automatically or when I manually shifted it by way of the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The GLI isnt super-fast, but it can hold its own by reaching 60 mph in just under 7 seconds. And the GLI delivers good fuel economy numbers: 24 city / 32 highway for the automatic and 22 city / 33 highway for the manual. Volkswagen does recommend using premium fuel in the GLI. The GLI is about as close to a GTI sedan as you can get. Its not as light or quick as the popular hatchback, but it does delivery about the same entertainment from the drivers seat. Overall, I was impressed with the GLI. It feels refined, solid and well-engineered. And for a fully loaded up model to come in with a price tag under $29,000, it delivers great value-for-the-money. So if a fun hatchback is out of the question, how about a familyfriendly hot-rod? By The Numbers:
Jack Roush...
Continued from page 30...I wont have the same sense of wishing for his success on the race track next year that I will for the balance of this year, and have in the past. He will, from my point of view, be moving to the dark side. We will get through that. Personally, we will be fine. Roush went on to say that Kenseths decision to leave after nearly 14 seasons behind the wheel of the No. 17 Ford, caught him off guard, and that he never got a chance to personally intervene until it was too late. If I had been as vigilant and diligent and interested in that side of the business as I am on finding why a fuel pump broke, or why a connection rod bearing failed, or how we could get the next pound of downforce if I had been taking care of the business side of the business as hard as I tried to take care of the technical side, I might have been able to stop that, he said.
