Five insights from Deborah Santiago - Managing Director, Legal, Accenture
I am inspired by… my mother, who has a completely new perspective on life post-cancer. She has always been a working mom, but post-cancer she decided to aim for a job arguably way beyond her reach and studied like a college girl for it. She got the job and is doing really well, both professionally and health-wise. She is the true embodiment of grit and reinvention.
I believe every leader should… create an environment where people are unafraid to explore new avenues of thought and creativity. This naturally means that as a leader you also must be comfortable with the possibility of some mistakes being made and "dumb" questions being asked.
The best piece of advice I ever got about managing work and personal commitments was... to take additional time off for maternity leave (even if it is unpaid time) if I needed it, with an aim to return to work without any regrets. My youngest is six now and yet I still think about this advice. (Thankfully Accenture's new leave policies help working parents immensely in their transition back to work.) It's a good reminder to be fully present with my family when I am with them and to approach work with anticipation and enthusiasm.
I am most proud of… my family.
If there is one goal I have in my role, it's… to enable Accenture's Legal department to have the skills and moxie to tackle complex issues in a rapidly changing world.

This recipe is actually from my dad. So all the credit for this delicious dish goes to him. Last weekend I spent it up at my dads house planting our garden and doing some fly fishing. He found a great spot in Connecticut for catch and release fly fishing only. It was beautiful and peaceful and the best part I could to finally test out my beautiful custom 9 foot 4 weight green fly rod that he built for me (I'm in the process of setting up a blog for him to showcase his beautiful work. Check it out HERE it is a work in progress.)
I love being able to spend time with my dad, something that I missed for the five years that I lived in California. He is one of my best friends and we always have a great time together. Last year we got into canning and this summer we plan to put up as many jars of pickles that we possibly can (no pun intended!), and also try our hand at canning sauce. Another thing we love to do together is cook…we are self-proclaimed foodies. Last Saturday we had his boss Bobby over who helped till our garden for us, so in return dad and I cooked up a pretty scrumptious dinner of molasses brined pork chops, salt potatoes, and Cesar salad = yummm (recipe to follow soon). The next day we headed to the river for some fly fishing and after a long day on the river we decided on a light, quick, and delicious dinner of Grilled Tilapia with Oranges.
This recipe uses two…maybe three ingredients, no lie. I even asked my dad several times to make sure because the flavor was so good. It is perfect for a summer day, light and refreshing. For sides you could serve just about anything you wanted; steamed or grilled vegetables, rice, quinoa, etc. I'm actually making this tonight and serving it with some steamed edamame.
Grilled Tilapia with Oranges
4 oz of Tilapia per person
1 large orange sliced about 1/8 – 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt – to taste if desired
Aluminum foil
Heat grill to medium heat.
Place each fillet of Tilapia in aluminum foil, place two – three slices of orange on the fish and if you would like to add salt, be sure to season the fish and the oranges a little – this is optional, Dad made it with no salt and it was quite flavorful.
Seal foil package tightly and grill with the orange side down first. This helps release the juices from the orange, steam the fish and infused the flavor into the fish.
Cook for three minutes, flip carefully and repeat on the other side. This time may differ based on the thickness of your fillets.
Remove from grill, let packets sit for two minutes, cut open and serve with side(s) of you choice.
Thanks dad for this delicious dinner and for letting me share it on here.

Jewish comic David Baddiel, a Chelsea supporter, promoted a campaign urging fans not to use the word 'Yid'. Photograph: Murdo Macleod
The Football Association has warned that any fan chanting the word "Yid" could face criminal charges.
The issue of whether the chanting of "Yid" or "Yiddo" is offensive or not has been the source of debate for many years at Tottenham. For decades some opposition fans have used the club's links with the Jewish community as an excuse for launching anti-semitic abuse towards Spurs supporters.
The most shocking instance came last season when West Ham fans visited White Hart Lane. A section of the away support hissed, mimicking the gassing of the Jews in the Holocaust, and they also sang songs praising the former Lazio player Paolo Di Canio, who once declared his admiration for Benito Mussolini.
In response to the derogatory chanting aimed their way, Tottenham fans branded themselves the "Yid Army" and often describe themselves as "Yids" in order to mock those who use the term against them. But the FAdoes not see that as a justification for the use of the word, from either home or away fans at White Hart Lane. In a statement the FA said the word "Yid" was "derogatory and offensive" and therefore urged any fan to refrain from using it on the terraces.
"The FA considers that the use of the term 'Yid' is likely to be considered offensive by the reasonable observer and considers the term to be inappropriate in a football setting. The FA would encourage fans to avoid using it in any situation. Use of the term in a public setting could amount to a criminal offence, and leave those fans liable to prosecution and potentially a lengthy Football Banning Order."
Spurs believe their fans do not intend to cause any offence by chanting the word "Yid", but after Tottenham fans were subjected to shocking anti-semitic attacks in Rome and Lyon last season, the club embarked on discussions with their fans over whether the chants were counter-productive or not. They will continue to canvass supporters' opinion this season.
A Tottenham statement read: "We are acutely aware of the sensitivity of this issue. Our fans historically adopted the chant as a defence mechanism in order to own the term and thereby deflect anti-semitic abuse. They do not use the term with any deliberate intent to cause offence.
"Last season saw a number of incidents where fans were targeted by allegedly far-right activists on the Continent and subjected to anti-semitic abuse by opposition fans. Subsequently, the debate on this issue has two key considerations.
"Firstly, whether or not its use now plays a role in deflecting or attracting unjustified abuse, abuse that is inexcusable on any grounds; and secondly, whether it is liable to cause offence to others even if unintentionally. Our fans have themselves engaged in this debate following the events of last season.
"Yid" is not really an insulting word. Jews call each other "Yid" all the time. It's like Black people calling each other the N-word.
However if you are not a Yid don't go calling others people Yids whether they are Yidden or nit-Yidden.
Tottenham fans can call themselves the Goys if they want.

The Raiders continue to be nomads in terms of a radio home after opting to go with a syndicator which will handle the rights to their games.
"The Raider Organization is delighted to announce an exciting new relationship with Compass Media Networks, pursuant to which Raider games will be broadcast in the Bay Area on KFRC 1550-AM and KITS Live 105-FM, as well as a broad affiliate network in California and beyond," Raiders chief executive Amy Trask said. "We thank KSFO (560-AM) for its support of the Raiders for the past six years and wish it well."
KSFO marketing director Anthony Licciardi made it clear the network had wanted to continue with Raiders broadcasts and weren't dumping the club _ KTCT (now KNBR 1050) did in its last radio deal.
"We tried to keep the Raiders, we wanted to keep the Raiders," Licciardi said. "Ultimately, they went with a syndicator, and the syndicator found them the best offer."
Hard to believe the Raiders new setup could be any worse than it was on KSFO. Other than game day, there was virtually no Raiders content. Most NFL teams have radio deals which put their coaches on the air _ often to answer questions from the public _ and have regular features and interviews with players.
Much of the Raiders' problems are their own. They're so over-the-top in terms of controlling the message _ preferring an infomercial to critical or objective analysis _ it makes for bad programming other than the games themselves.
Here's hoping syndication will make things better _ although it's worth noting it was a radio rights issue (when Bob Speck Productions gave way to Nederlander Sports Marketing in 1993) that led to legendary voice Bill King leaving the Raiders when the club was in Los Angeles.

Platypus twins! Puggle pair on parade
Healesville Sanctuary has celebrated another world first breeding success with the arrival of twin Platypus known as 'puggles'.
The twins, a boy and a girl, went on display today at Healesville Sanctuary, for a limited time only.
Although born in October, the Platypus puggles emerged from their burrow a few days ago. They are four months old.
Visitors have the chance to name the twins, from a list of 20 Wurrundjeri names honouring the indigenous people whose lands encompass the area where Healesville Sanctuary is today. Winners will receive a behind-the-scenes tour of the Platypus breeding facility and will meet the Puggle twins. Competition forms are available at Healesville Sanctuary.
Ten year old Mum Binarri has now produced six offspring, including twins in 2008. Two-year old Tarrabi is a first time Dad, the youngest known sire on record both in the wild and in captivity.
Healesville Sanctuary is one of only two institutions to have recorded breeding success with Platypus. In 1943, the Sanctuary hatched the first Platypus (Corrie) ever bred in captivity (an event that made front page news in London and New York). It took 55 years to repeat that success with the birth of twin Platypus in 1998 (Barak and Yarra Yarra), in 2000 (MacKenzie) and 2008 (Burran and Waddirang), a female (Ember) who emerged just after the Victorian bushfires in 2009 and Mamouk last year.
Visitors can learn more about the secret life of this unique Australian animal at the daily Keeper talk at 1pm.
This year, Jessica Thomas, Senior Threatened Species Keeper, used behaviour research data she had collected over the past three breeding seasons to predict the arrival of twin Platypus back in November. Jessica begins her PhD into Platypus next month.
Baby Platypuses are not only emerging at Healesville Sanctuary right now—they are emerging for the first time out in the wild too.
"Many of them do not survive as they get out-competed for limited food and get tangled in human rubbish and illegal yabby traps. People can help them by using phosphate-free detergents and cleaning products, stop using illegal opera house yabby nets in our public waterways and putting rubbish in the bin," Ms Thomas said.
Keep up with the latest news on our platypus babies at our Keeper Blog.

I also had these studded. Wow these are awesome, sticky tires. There was a recent ice storm, everyone was sliding off road and could barely move. Not me, away I went. I will always have these tires in the winter. Highly recommend.
5 out of 5Submitted by Tom in Pennsylvania on 1/22/2014(2001 Toyota Corolla CE)
My daughter has not driven in PA ice/snow before. Bought two for her lightweight Corolla; best decision I could have made for her and the vehicle. Excellent grip and traction on snowy, wet, and slippery surfaces. Comfortable ride while retaining the feel of the road. No question about using on this and my other vehicles (have installed two Glacier-GripIIs on my Mercury.

Good tire.
4.3 out of 5Submitted by Jeffrey in Pennsylvania on 11/22/2013(2009 Dodge Minivans Grand Caravan SXT)
I bought four Glacier Grips for 2012 winter driving season. I always put the snow tires back on the week before Thanksgiving. It was a wet winter, and these tires gave me great confidence on wet roads during winter. When we did get some snow, I knew I could get to and from work with ease, for these tires pulled me through four winter storms, with no problems. I will buy these tires again when these need to be replaced.

High marks: Nelson house has Addy-ed appeal
ADDRESS: Mark Addy Inn
SIZE: 5,888 fin. sq. ft.; 2,716 unfin.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Nellysford in Nelson County
CURB APPEAL: 9 of 10
LISTED BY: Charlie Wineberg Mountain Area Realty 361-2440
Two sorts of people will be interested in this large appealing property: nascent Conrad Hiltons, and families for whom RU-486 arrived a couple of decades too late.
If your Walter Mitty fantasy is to lodge and breakfast strangers, the Mark Addy Inn is your dream come true. If you're a modern-day VonTrapp, this 10-bedroom, 10.5-bath farmhouse has your name all over it.
The Inn– named not, as is commonly supposed, for some actual intrepid Mr. Addy, but for the current owner's grandparents, Mark and Adelaide– has been a Nelson County fixture for at least 100 years. Built in 1844 as a two-room cabin, the place was enlarged in the late 1800s to today's grand proportions by Dr. John Everett, whose daguerreotype graces the front hall.
Now the 700 acres of "Upland Farm," as Dr. Everett called his spread, have been reduced to 12.5, but in compensation for losing the back 688, the house has been updated to modern standards including a sunroom, a full commercial kitchen, ceiling fans, a zesty mirrored Jacuzzi, and a big Lois Kannensohn mural on the dining room wall.
The grounds are manicured and wedding-ready, with a series of little individual gardens, including a large vegetable plot, and a "lavender walk" (not really lavender, but some equally fragrant herb) leading to a "peristyle" composed of the original porch columns, and far-ranging views of the Blue Ridge. Outbuildings include a rustic shed now being used as a gift shop; Dr. Everett's original office (now a cozy private efficiency for the owner); and a new laundry shed complete with a "mangle," a machine to press the pillowslips.
What's here for folks moving to the country for the privacy and tranquility instead of the headaches of running a business? Well, obviously, lots of rooms. In addition to all those bedrooms and baths, there's a graceful entrance hall (under an unusual little balcony), a large living/sitting room/library with heart pine bookshelves, and what's now the Inn dining room, but which could be converted to a family room or grand salon.
Always smitten by beautiful old wood, we were amazed to find the glowing heart pine of the floors, trim, and bookshelves also used in an enormous pair of pocket doors nine feet wide and 2-3 inches thick between the sitting and dining rooms. Hiding them away in their "pockets" is a waste. Even though they might compromise the space a little, a new owner would surely want to leave them partly open just to flaunt their beauty.
The layout contributes to the house's potential as a private residence. One of the three first-floor bedrooms, with a graceful arch (and that mirrored shower!) rivals any "master suite" in swanky new subdivisions. A small first-floor sitting room could be converted to an office, and a few alterations could open the commercial kitchen (now safely tucked behind a firewall) to the rest of the house.
Obviously, the prudent decision would be to keep the Mark Addy as an Inn– the business and much of the furniture conveys, making it virtually a turn-key operation. But a family shopping for a house in this price range would do well to consider the unique elements the place has to offer as a residence.
Yes, it's a bit far from town. But it's only minutes from Wintergreen. Yes, it's old. But so is Monticello. Yes, it has 10 bathrooms that will require gallons of scrubbing bubbles. Surely you can pay the char a little extra for the joy of bathing in a different tub every night.
But if you're still undecided about the wisdom of buying an 18-room house in Nellysford, consider this: What McMansion in Glenmore or Walnut Hills or even The Rocks comes with a mangle?

Note: I began writing this article last fall, when the topic was a bit more relevant. But I think the idea still has merit, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the DCnU was developed, now that we have some time and distance to reflect upon the original event and transition…
– – – – – – – – – –
The DCnU. We are nine months into the New 52, and I can say with certainty that I am no longer interested in reading about the DCnU. It's disappointing, and sad.I'm not here to nitpick about continuity and costumes, or argue about the sales of DC and the general health of the industry, nor am I willing to discuss the legitimacy of stubborn, Silver Age fanboys that may no longer be in DC's Target Market and how they are resistant to change. But I am writing about one thing:
It could have, and should have, been different.
Comic readers know what happened in the DCU in the years leading up to Blackest Night. The rushed quality and wasted potential throughout Infinite Crisis. The complicated storyline and editorial mess of Final Crisis. The pointless death of Blue Beetle Ted Kord. And all the pointless, shock-value deaths that Didio and company had orchestrated over the past few years in DCU.
But the Powers That Be at DC Comics had chance to fix it all. Brightest Day was here!
DC had such an amazing opportunity with Brightest Day, and I had high hopes after reading the first issue. A White Lantern Power Ring, with the ability to bring the dead back to life. Are you kidding?! This was going to be great! A classic!
Here was chance to fix EVERYTHING. All your favorite heroes and villains, brought back to life! After seeing Aquaman, J'onn J'onzz, Firestorm, and the rest resurrected in the final scenes of Blackest Night, I had expected it to truly be the Brightest Day for DC.
But then I read what Geoff Johns had to say.
"'Brightest Day' is not a banner or a vague catch-all direction for the DC Universe, it is a story. Nor is 'Brightest Day' a sign that the DC Universe is going to be all about 'light and brighty' superheroes.
Some second chances work out…some don't!"
Why can't the DCU be "light and bright"? What is wrong with that?
Hadn't the last few years of death and destruction been enough?
I guess not.
And we saw how it played out. Twenty-five issues to do what exactly? Introduce a short-lived Aqualad? Have Dove profess her love to Deadman? Kill Hawkgirl…again? Yes, I know the Grand Plan was to bring back Constantine and Swamp Thing? But, really…that's it?
So much potential…thoroughly wasted. So disappointing. I pondered what could have been, should have been. I know, I know, it's pointless to play 'what if' now…but…
What If..?
What if DC could have appeased the loyal, long-time fans AND ushered in a new era at DC?
The potential was there – to not only erase the mistakes of recent DC past, but also introduce the DCnU in a way that made sense, and not totally rushed and forced upon the comic-reading world. The Flashpoint series would never need to happen, because the whole change to the New 52 could have been done in Brightest Day.
How, you ask?
Imagine the final scenes of the Brightest Day series…instead of the drawn-out fight with Black Lantern Swamp Thing (ugh) and Deadman dying (again), the last few pages would show the final act of The Entity:
Charging the White Ring of Life to 100%, the Entity gives it to Barry Allen, transforming him once again into the White Lantern. The Ring then instructs (forces) him to run, to race across the world in a brilliant 'flash of light', restoring dead characters to life throughout the Earth and beyond, throughout the entire DC Universe. Not just the big names…EVERYONE.
Superman Kal-L and Lois Lane.
Ralph and Sue Dibny.
Ted Kord. Lian Harper.
Rocket Red. Tempest. The Question.
Johnny Quick. Ryan Choi. The original Freedom Fighters.
We see panel after panel of beloved DC characters, reappearing in the white light as Flash races by. But not just heroes – villains, too.
Psycho Pirate. Monsieur Mallah. The Brain.
Clayface. Ventriloquist.
Trickster James Jesse. The Top. Golden Glider.
Mongul. Prometheus. Neron.
and heck, even long-deceased and retconned characters…
Supergirl Kara Zor-El. Golden Age Mister Terrific. Terra.
Earth-2 Huntress. Star Spangled Kid.
Earth-2 Batman.
And the collateral damage and civilian deaths, like Jonathan Kent, Sarah Essen Gordon, Alexandra DeWitt, Jack Drake, Martin Stein, the Newsboy Legion, the 100,000 Kryptonians in space, the families of the JSA legacy characters at the hands the Fourth Reich.
maybe, even…Thomas and Martha Wayne?
How fun would that be?
BUT here's the kicker –
The second-to-last page of Brightest Day would be the DC Universe that we knew and loved fading into pure white light…just a white page with no art, no lettering. The final pages of all other then-current DC books would follow suit, with their individual final pages fading into pure white.
Then the final page of Brightest Day would show the white light fading away, showing the DCnU and Superman leaping through the Metropolis sky.
And the rest, as they say, would be history.
Out with the old DCU, in with the DCnU. The DC Universe has a proper sendoff, older fans get a silly-yet-satisfying brief return of their favorite characters, and new fans have a proper start to the New 52. And with Barry's role in the White-Ring resurrection, DC still maintains the parallel of Flash ushering in the Silver Age and transitioning into the DCnU that they had with Flashpoint.
So then, how to explain to fans exactly what the DCnU is? Maybe the White Entity transformed the old DCU into the DCnU…or maybe it's simply a parallel world? Better yet, maybe DC just leaves it up for interpretation and fans can decide for themselves. Reluctant DC oldtimers can go on knowing the current DCU still exists somewhere, somehow…still out there to be revisited in the future.
The point is, this would have been an ambiguous-enough ending to the old DCU for any skeptical comic fan; even the most pedestrian of writers now have a built-in escape clause to bring back the old DCU if needed; and the transition to the DCnU would have been seamless and logical.
What if, indeed.

its an interesting premise … and one that not only harkens back to the "Original" Crisis (c'mon now folks, DC has had Crisis in the title since the beginning of the Silver Age at least…), but also to Zero Hour, and most other "reboots" they've done along the way.
Personally, I don't mind that they've just started over with every single title and character.
The part that is the biggest problem for me is that with Infinite Crisis they went through a lot of hassle to bring back the Multiverse. 52 specific and unique "realities" for the authors to go and play around with. No more Elseworlds, they are in continuity in the Multiverse. No need for "dead" characters, they all exist in the Multiverse.
But when they did the relaunch this time around, they very openly said, "this is it. our ONE true DCU". Which means no Multiverse. Which means no access to the characters of the GA, SA, 80's, 90's, etc. that I love and want to continue reading.
There really doesn't need to be a "what if…?", there only needs to be an "if only …" as in "if only the DCnU were just another corner of the Multiverse…"
Comic books have grown up a lot in the past 20 years. I, for one, don't mind a bit of R-rated stuff here and there, and if no one dies, there's nothing at risk. I outgrew the Superfriends. I don't need to read about them anymore. Perhaps you should stick to the "kid friendly" books? They seem more your speed.
I think comic books can be both adult and kid friendly. You can have a fun, grown-up, exciting, everything-at-risk storyline without decapitations, dismembering, women being raped and burned alive or stuffed in fridges, beloved characters getting a bullet to the brain, and on and on and on. I've read plenty of stories in my 35 years of comic book reading that were AMAZING and thoroughly enjoyable, and didn't involve any of these 'R-rated' shock-value tactics.
I think it's a shame that kids can't pick up most of DC's books today due to the sex and extreme violence, and get hooked like I did and become lifelong lovers of the medium. As I kid, I could choose from dozens of DC's books. Today's kids, assuming parents are aware of what their kids are reading, have a small handful of titles to choose from, and most of these are based on DC's animated series, and have nothing to do with the DC universe. That's just sad.
I was with you until:
"Out with the old DCU, in with the DCnU. The DC Universe has a proper sendoff, older fans get a silly-yet-satisfying brief return of their favorite characters, and new fans have a proper start to the New 52. And with Barry's role in the White-Ring resurrection, DC still maintains the parallel of Flash ushering in the Silver Age and transitioning into the DCnU that they had with Flashpoint.

I think the "ambiguous-enough ending" as you would describe is the same thing we already have now. Define the DCnU as to what it is, who's in it, etc. Other than that, you're just repeating what's already happened.
Not necessarily – DC has stated that the DCnU is IT. Nothing else exists. No Multiverse, no hypertime, no parallel worlds, nothing.
The above solution allows for 75 years of DC history and characters to at least still exist somewhere, even if it's not being used or accessed. Better than just throwing it all away, which is exactly what DiDio, Johns, and Co did…
What's the Earth 2 title then?
Making Alan Scott gay was a stupid idea. DC had always has gay characters from the Pied Piper, Young Heroes in Love; Maggi Sawyer and the Authority. To take such an inconic character and do this is just silly for no other reason to grab a few headline from Marvel. And they are too violent for my taste so I don't read them anymore. Young Justice and Superman Family are gear for a younger audiance and like reading them more but they are misleading in what the DCU is all about now. Give me books from the 60-70 where all stories ended in 1-3 issues. Most of them are silly but at least my kids can read them.
Shut up Guapo
I hate the NEW 52…..just completely hate it. YES Swamp Thing, Animal Man…and a small handful are pretty good reads (not that i am reading them)…..but COME ON!!!!!
The end of Flashpoint…Barry remembered….New 52 Flash #1…he don't remember anything. WHY?
From Kyle Rayner to Batman……how do these things still exist? they remain untouched?
Superboy….is there really gonna be a BIGGER twist than being half Lex Luthor? And are we to re-discover that again? LAME!!!!!
Earth 23 in Action Comics, Earth 2 comic…..no multiverse my @$$. And Grant Morrison's Multiverse story is still supposed to be coming out……no multiverse.
Legion of Super Heroes remained "untouched" as well…..during that 4 issue crossover i was expecting some one to look at Superboy and say something of the old universe……we got nothing. BTW which untouched Legion group is this? LAME is what it is.
if POWERGIRL AND HUNTRESS arrived days before Superman came out as a "super hero", then that would mean they jumped "earths" first….technically making "our" earth Earth 2….and their "earth" Earth 1…or is it Prime…or are we just calling Earth New 52…..sounds stupid.
75 years of continuity GONE….just GONE…..this is worse then that Spider-man mind wipe.
But don't forget folks…."Green Lantern hasn't changed"…..uhm….really? GL was the leading book for the last few years….leading most of the crossovers…or had a huge part in all of them.
Superman didn't die…..that means Coast City wasn't destroyed, Hal didn't snap and kill the Corps…..no Reign of the Supermen….no Kyle Rayner (WHOM BY THE WAY….I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY, IS THE GREATEST GREEN LANTERN AROUND….WILL POWER TO THE MAX…GREATER THAN HAL JORDAN, YOU OLD GUYS NEED TO RECOGNIZE)(IF HAL WAS THE GREATEST GL THAN HOW DID HE GET KICKED OFF TWICE, AND KYLE WHO IS NOT A GL RIGHT NOW….IS STILL A GL AND STILL THAT RING/S FOLLOW HIM EVERYWHERE).
Man the NEW 52 is stupid.
SUPERMAN AND BATMAN……were 1 of the greatest relationships i have ever read in comics, whether it was a one-shot…….a 2-pager…mini….or story arc. The greatest….GONE.
WHY? So DC can get new readers? COME ON!!!!! Like we are gonna buy this crap for our kids, seeing as how they are the new target market.
I tried reading Superboy, as he has always been my favourite character from DC, but man the whole thing is weak…..it is lacking something….page for page…..line for line, nothing seems to impress me anymore.
A whole universe dropped.
I personally liked the continuity, the mess that it was….it was fun for my brain to understand and make sense of……part why i love the X-Men…..the whole thing is 1 giant puzzle within puzzles.
I hate the New 52….i have sinced dropped Superboy…and am now reading only Unwritten which isn't even part of that universe.
Man i really hate the New 52
I agree. Brightest Day had so much potential. I also think that Final Crisis could have been much more (way much more) than it was. Geoff Johns could have easily written a new JL book post-Brightest Day starring the Silver Age JL (which I think deep down he likes). For me, Final Crisis doesn't make sense. In true sense it could have been final. The multiverse could have been rebooted at the end (best explanation of why earth-2 has changed), Batman would have sacrificed himself for the DCU and DCnU could have been born but with less radical changes with Morrison continuing what he liked with Batman.
If they couldn't have done a lite reboot with FC, then Brightest Day should have changed the status quo of the DCU by showing the return of JL (WW dumb stupid Odyssey was ending at the same time), Bruce was back, Clark wasn't busy with taking a walk. Instead of rebooting they could have resurrected a few more heroes and villains, not all though. I feel the reboot was rushed somehow because the ending of Brightest Day wasn't much satisfying for me.I don't think the reboot was supposed to be in their long term plan for '11. My guts say they had something else planned.
It's odd to me that they bothered resurrecting someone like Jade, only to say she never existed in DCnU.
I feel that's a sign DC was building to something else when the order to reboot came in.
What if…. Well, what if you never wrote this post and just lived with the fact that DCnU exists. What if you didn't waste our time by giving us your version of how DCU should of been. I mean, come on, are you the only one with an idea of how something should turn out. If you are so passionate about it, what if you got a job working for DC and work your way up the ladder until you get a chance to make real change. Then everyone can post how they hate your ideas. What if…
Alan Scott loves it.
Ha hahahahah ahaha ahahahahahaha ahaha!
Sick burn on GUAPO!
DC did have something else planned. Morrison's multiverse series. He was going to tell us stories of the various 52 DC Universes. I was looking forward to it. Maybe DC didn't think that the book would survive as an ongoing title? Then maybe the idea of having an entire line of DC books that told about a new "parallel" DC Universe came into play. DC gets to reboot at #1, get sales, and as an escape plan if it fails, they can say that the New 52 DCnU was just one of the parallel universes and the original one we know and LOVE, still exists somewhere for them to bring back like the "One Year Later" leap, only this time maybe it's a 5-7 year leap ahead in the DCU?
I love the old DCU and I still hope it comes back.
DC should have made Earth 2 and World's Finest more "bright and positive" instead on the more dark trend that the New 52 continued on.
have to admit dc junking its history it has built over 75 years was a waste. just to do what start over again like they are just hitting the market. plus brightest day kind of was a let down in how they brought back swamp thing not to mention since when does dove love a dead guy. plus dc really did not need flash point to restart the new universe a crisis instead
Blackest Night and Brightest Day told stories that were clearly meant to change the status quo, but Warner Brothers brought in Diane Nelson to yank everyone's chains and restructure the company in case Disney started milking Marvel silly. So DC upped and moved their operations from NYC to L.A. after a bunch of layoffs and only Johns' revamped characters (Green Lantern, Aquaman) continued more or less as they were going to do after Johns' mega-epics ran their course. I don't think anyone actually thought that Rob Liefeld would be working on books like Hawkman and Deathstroke. The "n" in DCnU is supposed to mean, what? DC and me? More like a throwback to 1990's Marvel/Image with Liefeld, Jim Lee, Bob Harras, Howard Mackie, Tom DeFalco and other familiar names now working for the Distinguished Competition. I still see last summer's events as a perfect jumping off point after wasting my money on years of crossovers which in the end, led to absolutely nothing of consequence.
DCnU is an abbreviation that fans came up with to distinguish the 'new' from the old. DCnU = DC new Universe.
Your idea actually sounds brilliant. I got goosebumps after reading your article. That's the main beef I have with DCNU, they never gave the old DC a proper send off. At least Crisis of Infinite Earths gave the Pre crisis DC a proper send off. Flashpoint was pointless and too Flash centric. And you look at how the Superbooks ended. All was in a rush. The DCNU for me disrespected a lot of die hard DC fans who continues to support DC despite lagging behind Marvel in sales. The least that they could do was to give us a proper send off and allow us to catch on a refreshed and revamped DCU. But no, they had to screw us and left us high and dry with the Universe that we valued for so long. Shoved down our throats a DCU that is a lot similar to Image. For what? for coolness? Recent sales reports are saying that DC is leading Marvel in the top 10 posts. So that means the revamp caught some interest from non DC readers, but at the expense of the old DC fans. I still stand by my belief that the recent sales reports are only due to the interest of the revamp. And as the titles reaches it's 3rd or 4th story arc, that's when the sales will begin to drop. DC will have to keep on retaining the new readers if they want to stay on top. Because as far as I can tell, a lot of die hard DC fans who were disenchanted by DCNU won't be touching the DCNU books. I can speak for myself that I felt so cheated with how DC ended the Pre DC Universe, and I'm not touching DCNU ever. DC threw away the loyalties in exchange of gaining new fans. DC better hope these new Fans remain loyal.
And oh by the way, I still hate the Red Briefless Superman.
The DCnU reminds me of when they try to adapt comics into movies. The bad ones try to "update" the character to make it more accesable to movie goers and usually fail (Catwoman,Superman Returns, The first Hulk Movie). The best ones keep to the history and spirit of the source material and they usually suceed with new and old audiences ( Any of the Avenger Franchise films).DCnU just reads like a bad DC adaptation by a 3rd party. They are quickly painting themselves into more corners than they claim Crisis on Infinate Earths did. They claim to be trying to make the characters more diverse,but they all read the same.The characters are all the same age, have no experience,shop at the same costume shop. The storylines just meander for too many issues and fall flat with no substance, like a 90's Image comic. A friend of mine decided to try out the DCnU when it started because he wanted to read comics and never knew where to start. He went whole hog into it and right now only like some of the Batman books and the Green Lantern books. It's funny that these 2 characters are the only ones that remained mostly the same. He did try some Marvel comics and likes them a lot better. He doesn't understand everything that's going on, but he enjoys them more. I think we have not seen the end of the true DC Universe. There will be another event to return it. I give it until its 2nd anniversary
I for one enjoyed the old DC and still enjoy the new DC. There are changes I'm not so fond of, (Alan Scott) But you have to appreciate them bringing back so many forms of comics, not just superhero.
I will only say that i find the whole reinventing the universe every five minutes is so confusing, frustrating and oh so repetitive. I simply not care no more. I get the self-contained series that appeal to me without having to read a million issues of not-so-good nor comprehensible. Example: i bought a t-shirt with Jade on it as i like the logo, and someone ask me who she was and what group or series she belonged to. I just could not respond as i feel i have no idea of what happens to every single character, as they get murdered, revived, revamped etc etc all within not a long time. They (DC) make it all so bloody complicated that i struggled to care. Dc was great in the 80's with Teen Titans etc. I liked the whole Vertigo rising stuff. But i find myself going back to good ol' Marvel for a bit of relax.
Did they really made Alan Scott gay? HAHAHA. This is why i loved the wedding of Northstar at Marvel. It made sense. >big yawn<. At least Aquaman and Wonder Woman are OK as they've not change so radically.
Ryan, I like your idea. I too wish for the days where heroes and their supporting cast were not cast aside. Comics were fine for decades without it. I had gotten used to a DCU where Barry and then Hal made the ultimate sacrifice. Where Wally and Kyle had stepped up. But those sacrifices were heroic. The deaths of Ted Kord and Sue Dibny were not heroic, insetad they were pointless.
Sometimes I think DC has been trying to do things to upset long time readers so they will leave and stop complaining.
I have no idea why they gave Ice a new origin or why the JLI book which seemed to extend from the old DCU was created. One dead and 3 in the hospital. Why write a book about this? To destroy the Hall of Justice? Why not just ignore it.
The current run of the Justice League has been an insult. An extra dollar for blank pages from a book about Atlantis and 3 sections of a story about Billy Batson where nothing has happened. And the main story has been a snooze fest.
I have enjoyed Stormwatch, but I think that is partly because I have no previous knowledge of the characters. It also moves quickly, unlike some other books (cough – Justice League – cough).
I agree that the new 52 had a chance to do something interesting, but the powers that be at DC just don't have the capabilities to pull something like a reboot off well. They make to many poor decisions (like the scope of the retcon) in knee jerk fashion. Dan going out and doing interview basically saying "screw our old fan base" didn't help things.
I felt the same way with how Marvel handled the skrull secret invasion story. Could have brought back everyone. Fixed everyone. Jean Grey. Bishop. Scarlet Witch. etc. But noooooooo. Just Mockingbird. That's it. Still a good read, but wasted potential.
I agree with Brightest Day, it flopped on it's face at the end.

text: The Lunaire lingerie brand recognizes that each woman is uniquely proportioned and cannot wear the same type of bra. They have made it their mission to create the perfect blend of fit and functional lingerie for the full-figured woman. From sizes C to F, Lunaire brings to life a bra full of perk, style and comfort. They also offer matching panties with elegant embroidery and splashes of color. Lunaire begins to create the perfect combination for full-figured women by starting with their cups. Instead of just having one-piece cups like many full-figured bras that let the breasts seem flat, Lunaire bras are sewn together in two to three pieces of fabric. This helps shape the breast. This is where the support comes in, but Lunaire doesn't forget the style. Bras and panties are often embellished with lace, delicate embroidery and touches of satin. Lunaire goes above and beyond to ensure full-figured women are confident and comfortable in their lingerie. Without that, you are just wearing a boring bra with no support. Lunaire promises this will not happen with their designs. Lunaire's Coolmax Underwire Sports Bra and Full-figured Strapless Bra have won herroom.com's Undie Awards for Best Full Figured Bra and Best Strapless Underwire Bra.

An "Alive Day" is the anniversary of the day a wounded warrior was injured in combat. Some look at it as the day he or she escaped death. It may also be the day many of these brave men and women were left with lifelong scars—both visible and invisible.
It is a day to celebrate, not to mourn.
For Navy Lt. Brad Snyder, today is that day—and it is Golden. It was one year ago today that the former Naval Academy swim team captain was hit by an Improvised Explosive Device while on patrol in Afghanistan. One year ago today that a bomb blast took his eyesight but left him with every bit of God-given drive and determination he was born with. Today he is showing the world that he is still just as great—just as valuable—as he always has been.
Today is a golden anniversary for Snyder because less than an hour ago he swam for his third Paralympics medal, this time defeating the competition in the 400-meter Freestyle, finishing with a time of 04:32:41—three seconds faster than his qualifying time.
In the span of one year he has progressed from a hospital bed to the medal stands at both the Warrior Games and the Paralympic Games in London. He is a shining example of the raw talent contained within our Armed Forces and a testament to the quality of rehabilitation through adaptive sport.
Congratulations Lieutenant Snyder! You are a hero and an inspiration to us all. — By Joseph Andrew Lee, USO Staff Writer

The Dos and Don'ts of Returning
If you have a gift to return, here are some tips that may help speed up the process:
- Remember to bring the receipt, price tag or bar code with the item. Without a receipt, the sale or current price will be refunded, which may be different from the price paid.
- The busiest time to return something is between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m..
- Expect to wait 10 to 15 minutes at peak times.
- Consider returning the item when it's less busy; like next week.
In the event you need to get in touch with customer service, avoid Mondays. According to the Incoming Calls Management Institute, Monday is the worst time to get through to a call center. Late night isn't much better, because of limited staffing. The best times to call are mid-afternoons Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. That's when most people are too busy working to call.
Another option you might want to consider is to recycle the gift by giving it to someone else. Over the years, re-gifting has gradually become socially acceptable during the holiday season. According to a recent consumer spending survey, 79% say re-gifting is okay. Women and people under the age of 30 tend to re-gift the most.
Finally, worse case scenario - you throw a white elephant party where friends bring holiday gifts they don't want. You pile them on a table and let each guest pick out what he or she wants.

HENNIKER, N.H. – Just 1:27 into the overtime period, senior Jim Ennis (Roslindale, Mass.) gave men's hockey (8-6-2, 4-5-0 ECAC East) their third straight ECAC East conference win, as he scored the game-winner to give UMass Boston a 3-2 victory over New England College Friday evening at Lee Clement Arena.
Ennis' goal, which was the sixth of the year for the senior captain, was set-up by classmates Andrew Burke (Southampton, Pa.) and Bill Baker (Vancouver, B.C.). Freshman netminder Alex Scola (Exeter, N.H.) notched the conference victory after posting 38 saves.
After UMass Boston put two goals on the scoreboard in the second period, the host Pilgrims (8-6-1, 5-3-1 ECAC East) netted two of their own in the third period, the second of which was netted with 1:20 left in regulation.
On the night, UMass Boston was +10 (38-28) in shots as they dominated the first two periods offensively. New England led the third period in the shots column, but once in overtime, UMass would record the only shot of the period, which was all they needed to avenge their November 5 one-goal loss (4-3) to the Pilgrims.
Overall neither team capitalized on their power-play opportunities as the Beacons went 0-for-4, while the host Pilgrims went 0-for-1.
Friday's contest started off as a one-sided affair as the Beacons led the first two periods 27-10 in shots. After a scoreless first period, senior Bryan Albert (Redlands, Calif.) put the first dent on the scoreboard for the Beacons at the 6:56 mark. Assisting on the play was Travis Daniel (North Brunswick, N.J.) and Mike DeGrazia (Novi, Mich.), who have both recorded at least one point in the Beacons last three games, all of which have been victories.
Twelve minutes later, UMass Boston made it a two-goal game as Mark Grinhaus (Scarsdale, N.Y.) recorded his second of the season. The freshmen duo of Faiz Khan (Newhall, Calif.) and Corey Chakeen (Quincy, Mass.) each earned the assist on the play.
Now up by two, the Beacons went into the third looking hold off the Pilgrims in hopes of earning the shutout. However, New England College came out firing in the final frame of regulation as they outshot UMass Boston 18-10.
New England got on the scoreboard midway through the final frame on an unassisted goal by Jonathan Boxill. Six minutes later New England was called for a five-minute major and a 10-minute game misconduct giving the Beacons a huge window of opportunity to blow the game wide-open.
However, the Pilgrims would be the team that found the back of the net as they scored a shorthanded goal to tie the game at 2-2.
Luckily the Beacons defense would hold off the rallying Pilgrims moving the game into overtime. It would take the full 1:22 before either team got off a shot on goal. Ennis' game-winner was the second of the year for the Roslindale native.
Men's Hockey returns to action tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. when they face St. Anselm College.

Audi S4 Lease Questions
tcov Posts: 3I thought I was good at leases, but I cant make his numbers work..They are way too high anyways..
thought I would post for some help
1000 rebate (BMW owner currently)
55% residual
.00083 residual (0.00068+.00015)
then there is
695 acq
80 docs
463 license
487.25 cap fees (??)
15.08 cap tax (??)
gross cap costs:55587.25
cap cost reductions: 1000 (rebate) - 827.63 (amount $$ up front ie first payment) = 172.28 total cap reduction
Net cap costs: 55429.96
monthly payment: 761.04 + 66.59..
anyone seeing how this is coming up?
sounds way too high to me0
Monthly payment before sales tax is too high, by about ~$50-$55, based on those numbers. Almost a $2,000 discrepancy over the term of the lease.
License fees will be due at signing and are not a capitalized cost.
First month's payment is not a cap cost reduction.
"Cap fees" sounds like hidden dealer fees, like prep fees, to me...have the dealer break those out for you. Similarly, confirm "doc fee" is the state title document fee; otherwise, have the fee removed.0
Hi daveg35. Audi Financial Services' February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S4 Premium Plus with 15,000 miles per year are .00068 and 53% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum0
Excellent response daveg35. You are exactly right, consumers who order vehicles are usually able to lock in the program that is available at the time the order was placed and switch to the program that is available at the time of delivery if it's better.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum0
I'm scheduled to take delivery within a couple of weeks on a 2013 Premium Plus, 12k mi., 36 mo. Can you let me know the money factors for April. I ordered the car back in late January and I'm wondering what the best MF would be.0
April numbers will not be released until probably the second week in April. For your trim package, term and miles per year, the Buy Rate MF is .00068 and the residual is 55% for January through April 6, 2013. I would not expect interest rates to get much better than the current program.0
Thanks isles1
Do you think you could let me know the numbers if it was 10k miles/year?0
Residual changes to 56% @ 10K miles per year.0
I need your help...
I'm considering leasing an S4: Monsoon Gray metallic, 19" whees, Carbon Atlas inlays, B & O Sound, and Audi advanced key - $53,200.00. Dealer is happy to let it go for $ 50,700.00 and I'm confortable with that price.
Now, here's what I think doesn't add up: 36 Mo/10K with 0 down: $766.05/month... Sure, I'm still waiting to hear on what the actual residual (I'd guess something around 55-56%?)/MF are, but that does seem a bit too high, right?
Also, I live in FL and their fees are: battery fee $1.50, doc fee $578.40 (I know there's padding here as I can't believe xferring tags costs that much), electronic filing $15.00 (related to the previous item), license $450.00 (again, if I'm xferring tags, why do I have to pay for this?), Lemon Law $2.00, tire fee $5.00.
I currently have a 2012 GTI that is also leased. I have leased other Audi/VW cars over the years. I'm pretty sure that given my history with Audi FS/VW Credit I can ask them to waive security deposit, right?
I would really appreciate your input. Thanks!0
Just heard back from the dealer... According to them, MF/Residual are: "36 month MR 0.00108 Res. 56% of MSRP".
So, residual seems to match what isles1 had already stated in the above thread, but what about that MF? Seems high compared to what I've seen posted here... I mean, 0.00108 (2.59% APR) x 0.00068 (1.63% APR)...
And numbers don't add up anyways...
36 MO/10K lease:
53,200 * .56 = 29,792
50,700 (negotiated price) - 29.792 = 20,908
20,908 : 36 = 580.77
(50,700 + 29.792) * .00108 = 86.93
$713.61 is $52.44 less than the $766.05/month he quoted me earlier today... That's a $1,887.84 difference over 36 MOs!
So, is the current MF really 0.00108?!?
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts you can share with me.0
Acquisition fee? Doc fee? Title and registration?
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!
Edmunds Moderator0
The dealer is padding the MF or you do not qualify for top tier credit.
MF for 36 month term leases is .00068 through April 2, 2013 for MY2013 S4s.
You also need to have fees broken out of the equation. $695 acquisition fee is standard, as are title fees (max. $75 in NY State) which vary by state. Dealer prep and document fees are generally used to pad a deal for dealer profit. Will you pay license and reg fee at signing or roll into payment? Same question goes for acquisition fee and title fee.
If there is not a lot of dealer competition in your area, you may want to hang back until orders for MY2014 start being accepted. You may see incentives for dealers to move 2013 stock off the lot. Otherwise, shop around.0
Thanks for that, isles1...
This is most certainly padding as they have not run my credit yet.
Right. I'll certainly refuse to pay that much for fees like "doc fee" ($578.40) and "license" ($450.00). Sure, I can pay something, but not $1,028.40.
See, the title fee in FL shouldn't be more than 80.00. Since, I'll be xferring tags, it's my understanding that registration shouldn't be that expensive. Especially because I renewed it in January and the tag is being xferred from an RX350 to the S4, which is lighter, i.e., less money to register...
To be honest with you, the only fee I'd like to pay at signing is acquisition (as you stated, there's no way around this one), but since we're always stuck with those other fees, I was planning on also pay for them at signing.
Unfortunately there are not that many Audi dealers around... Only 2 in a 50-mile radius...0
Florida is a tough place for doc fees...
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!

ljones30 Posts: 1Help... I'm trying to piece together if this is a good deal. I have some information, I will find more when I go to the dealership tomorrow. Here is what I have.
2013 S4 Premium Plus
Audi MMI Navigation Plus Package ($3,050)
Audi Parking System Plus w/Rearview Camera
HDD Navi w/Voice Control
Additional Options
Audi Advanced Key
Audi Guard All-Weather Floor Mats
Bang & Olufsen Sound System
Supercharged Badges
Wheel Lock Kit
Wheels: 8.5J x 19" 5-Segment-Spoke-Design
Without Front License Plate Holder
He quotes me $639.00 No money down, 646 with audi care.
Sales price: 50kish, didnt get the number.
Tax: 6.5, Georgia does not a usage tax anymore. You pay 6.5% on the sale price, once.
Miles: 10k
Am I missing something? The only way I'm getting 639, is if I the entire fees are rolled up in the sales price. Making the sales price 51,049? So tell me what do I need to know, to determine if I'm getting a good deal.0
sangiv Posts: 1How are the Sales Taxes factored in the Lease in Florida?
Are Sales Tax (6%) paid on top of Full negotiated price of the vehicle
Price: $30,000
Taxes: $30,000 + 6% = $1,800 (50 monthly / 36mo.)
Are the Sales Tax paid on top of Negotiated Price - Residual?
Price: $30,000 - $18,000 (Residual 60%) = $12,000
Taxes: $12,000 + 6% = $720 (20 montly / 36mo.)0
In Florida, sales tax is collected on the monthly payment.
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!

You might be missing something... MF is most definitely not .0088 (.00088?)...
Anyway, I'd say you're getting a very good deal... Starting with the sales price. Apparently you managed to get a $5K discount and I never thought they'd ever discount an S4 that much (invoice on that car is around $53,200.00)... All I managed to get was $2,500.00 off...
Anyway, just to give you an idea about the "deal" I've got today on a '13 S4 - Estoril Blue Crystal, Premium Plus, S tronic, 19" wheels, B&O sound, advanced key, carbon atlas inlays, and badges (MSRP: $53,800.00):
Vehicle Sales Price: $51,300
Title, Registration, Other Fees: 450
$0 Down/Out-of-Pocket
Lease Term: 36 months
Residual Value: $30,128
Miles/Year: 10,000
Acquisition Fee: 695
Monthly Payment (Tax included): $723.00
Good luck.0
Need a bit of advice/opinion here on a 2013 S4 that I am looking to lease:
I currently have an 2010 A5 w/ 19,900 that had a 42 month lease, but could get out at 36 months if there was anything out that I liked...So here I am now possibly looking at a 42-month lease on a 2013 S4 Estoril Blue Crystal Effect
w/ Fine Nappa Leather w/ Lunar Silver, 19" 5-segment-spoke wheels, Audi MMI Navi, sports diff, B&O sound system, advanced access key, carbon atlas inlays, SS badges & Alu-optic stone guards. (MSRP: $58,420)
Miles/Yr 10,000
42-month lease
Capitalized Cost Reduction - $750(owner loyalty) + $1,000 (special rebate) = $1,750
Down payment - $3,750
Total out-of-pocket w/fees(first month, admin fee, doc fee, title®, acq fee, m/v fee) - $ $4,361
Monthly Payment - $660 w/ tax included
I would really love some insight. Thanks for the help!0
You never mentioned a few important items:
1. Actual sales price/capitalized cost
2. Residual
3. State you live in, i.e., use tax state?
Assuming MSRP as the actual sales price and a 56% residual, you'd be paying ~$650.00/month (tax included - again, assuming you live in a use tax state).
So, it doesn't look like they're doing you any favors... Also, notice that the difference between out of pocket and down payment is only $611.00... There's probably a lot more padding there being offset by the rebates you're getting, i.e., your actual capitalized cost reduction is only a fraction of $1,750.00...
Good luck!0
What is the appraised value of the A5? In otherwords, do you have any equity in it to use toward the trade? Pretty low mileage, but I do not know the condition or how the A5s hold their value. Does not look like they are doing anything more than taking it off your hands.
Just a few observations: 1. The $750 is the special rebate, not the $1,000. And the $750 (actually Audi Financial Services lease bonus cash) expired 4/2/2013, unless something new was just announced. The $1,000 is the loyalty incentive.
2. The MF on a lease term over 36 months is .00088, not .00068. And the last round of Audi lease programs which are where these MFs are from also expired on 4/2/2013. The dealer may not even have the new program info yet.
3. Those are A LOT of fees. Admin fee and doc fee is all dealer padding for profit. 1st month, acq fee of $695, title (capped by state law), registration and any required state MV fees are the only legit fees. Have the dealer break these out.
4. Estoril Blue is very difficult to maintain. You will get swirl marks unless you plan to use a special paint protectant, like Opti Coat and hand wash the car yourself. A car wash will destroy it.
5. As pointed about by another member, you have failed to tell us the negotiated sales price BEFORE the application of any trade in or incentives.
6. Avoid putting money down on a lease. Should be no issue to do $0 down. $3,750 down is equivalent to an extra $89 on your monthly payment...just keep that in mind.0
Not sure if you pulled the trigger on this one, but it does not appear to have the Sport Differential (PDU) option. This is considered a must by enthusiasts and will hurt the resale value of the car (and the actual value at lease term end wherein you will likely have some equity based upon the very conservative residuals set by Audi on S4s).
Personally, I'd pass.0
I actually did pull the trigger on that one, Isles1. No sports diff for me... It was very hard to find a car with the options I wanted. All cars equipped with sports diff also had Nav, which I really didn't need/want.
So, since I'm not tracking this car (I have a Supercharged E36 M3 that I use for that sort of thing) and will most likely return the car at the end of the lease, thought I'd take advantage of the incentives + reasonable deal I've got last month.
As far as Estoril Blue goes, yes, like any other dark color, it'll show swirl marks if you're brave enough to take your car to a regular automatic car wash. I take mine to a hand car wash and bring with me everything I want them to use on my car: shipskin mitts and microfiber towels.
Still, eventually swirl marks will show and I'll resort to Zaino to take care of them...0
The state I live in is NY and you're right about the padding. I feel the same way and am going to work to see the breakdown of the fees with the dealer. Hopefully able to get rid of some of those padded fees as well as have the Audi care included in the monthly payment. I will find out the residual as well as the actual capitalized cost on the car. Thanks for the info so far.0
As a NY resident I can tell you that the Title Fee is capped at $75, you'll have NYS inspection fee of $10, and NYS tire recycling fee of $12.50.
DMV fees will vary whether you are transferring plates or getting new plates. For your reference, I transferred plates to my 2013 S4 with just under 1 year remaining on the registration: Cost was $66.00. The dealer will estimate the DMV fees, and is required by law to refund to you any overpayment.
There are a lot of Audi dealers in the Tri-State area. No reason to get taken advantage of. Just be well-informed and willing to walk away. You'll get your price on an in stock 2013. 2014 order sheets are just around the corner....0
Sorry I forgot to mention that I had put a deposit down to hold the car for me as the lease bonus cash that expired on 04/02/2013 was still able to be put down for me luckily as I just made it. And I believe that i received the loyalty incentive of $1,000. Which totaled $1,750 in capitalized cost reductions.
I was certainly thinking about putting now down payment and having it rolled into the monthly.
Thanks about the info on the ext. color. I will definitely keep that in mind.0
Here is the breakdown of the fees on my worksheet from the dealer, which is pretty ridiculous and will need to be worked out before doing anything else. I just wanted your opinion of what can be taken off:
Title&Reg: $75
Car Wash & Detail: $95 (Lol)
Admin fee: $495
Bank acq fee: $695
dp: $3,750
M.V. fees: $341.50
Also, what is the current lease/money factor on 2013 S4 for March on a 42 lease term? So I know where I should be on par with the dealer. Need to work these numbers a bit I think.
Lastly, I am thinking about keeping my A5 till the end of the lease term which will be October, but I feel if I go put in a order for a new 2014 its going to be at a premium. I wanted to know your thoughts on that as well. Thanks again for the guidance.0
With your exterior color, I'd specifically ask the dealer not to wash or detail it. So that gets rid of the $95 "prep" fee.
The Admin fee is BS. Cross it out.
MV fees look about right if you are getting new plates.
You locked in the "old" program (which ran from 1/2013 - 4/2/2013) with your deposit on 4/2/2013. MF on 42 month term is .00088; residual is 50% for 10K miles per year. No idea what the new programs are, and the dealer may not either; regardless, you get the benefit of the better program as of order date or delivery.
You mentioned AudiCare in one of your posts above. What price were you quoted? Also know that AudiCare adds 1% to the residual value stated above.
No doubt you'll pay a premium for 2014. Interest rates almost always start out higher at the beginning of a model year. You'll also have less bargaining power as there will be no cars on the lot, at least until mid-year.
Again: What is the negotiated sales price BEFORE the $1,750 of incentives and net of AudiCare? Why put money down on this lease?0
Okay I will definitely speak to the dealer about the crossing out the admin fee because I thought it may be "bs" and yes certainly need to remove that $95 "prep" fee. So that takes off roughly about $590.
In regards to the Audicare, they dealer did not mention the price on it but I believe it is about $880 for the S4. I am going to haggle with the dealer and see if they are willing to cover that charge for free especially since I am trading in my lease early which I did purchase the Audicare on my A5.
Yes, I am glad to have received the lock in for the "old program" but still need to get rid of some of those fees and will have them roll in the down payment. I'd rather not pay a premium for the 2014 S4 considering they are not changing the body style...I believe but not 100% sure. Let me know if I'm incorrect on that piece of info.
I will get you the negotiated sales price before the incentives and hopefully net of the Audicare, which I hope to receive free of charge. I would rather not put money down if necessary other than paying the taxes and fees up front.
Let me know if this seems much more comparable to a decent deal though I haven't given you the additional pertinent information. Thanks again for you advice isles10
