Chapter 4
Buying a New Vehicle the Right Way
Ready to match wits with the dealership? Good! You can match wits and win. Just keep reading.
Simple Rules to Remember
- Narrow your choice to one or two models or makes before setting foot on a car lot.
Why? Trying to think about a big list will do nothing but confuse you.
Cautions for your first dealership visit: You are under the microscope at a dealership. Many dealerships already have you in a database. Most are anxious to pull a current credit report on you. All want to use information about you to maximize their chances to make a big profit. Don't let that happen! Unless you definitely plan to finance at the car dealership, don't allow any dealership to pull a credit report on you at this stage.
For instance, many dealerships will ask for a copy of your driver's license before they will let you test-drive a vehicle. A dealership has a right to know if you have a valid license. But you don't have to allow them to request a credit report at this stage. How to stop this? Say up front, "I do not authorize you to pull a credit report on me."
- Now, choose two nearby dealerships that stock the vehicle you like.
If you've done your homework, where you buy isn't important as long as the dealership is reputable.
- Find only one car at each dealership.
You can't buy three cars. Keep it simple: Find the one you like the best.
- Take control of the transaction.
Tell the salesperson you are not buying a car today under any circumstances, but you will buy soon. Today you are just shopping and fact-finding. Check the car out. Take a test drive. But be firm and don't let the salesperson lead you into any discussion of buying today. If you start to feel pressure or confusion leave immediately.
- Copy all the information from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price sticker before leaving the dealership (MSRP, not the dealer's sticker).
The MSRP is the sticker with the lowest price on the vehicle's window. Copy all the dollar information from that sticker. For instance, the vehicle's base price, then the name and price of options. (Use our "Auto Shopping Worksheet.") For now, ignore the dealer's sticker, which is always higher than the Manufacturer's sticker. The dealer sticker contains hugely inflated profits.
- Compute the dealer's invoice cost.
A very important step. Call us and we'll help you do this or use one of the online price guides below to calculate this amount. Why? Dealers want you to negotiate down from their inflated asking price, a very expensive way to negotiate. The Information Edge approach negotiates up from what a dealer paid for the one car you like. Don't ever think percentage discounts from dealer asking prices; don't ever think "sale" price. Know what the dealer paid for the car you like and negotiate up from that. You may use a good online service such as Edmunds.com or nadaguides.com to determine the dealer's cost. Just remember that these are third-party, commercial sites that have a number of ads and links with a primary interest in selling you something.
- Check to see if the car will fit your "Available Cash": Here's the moment of truth.
After you pay for the car, and give the dealer a profit, and pay tax and other charges, will you still be in budget? We have a simple Information Edge Vehicle Buyer's Fact Sheet to help you compare your figures and determine this. But first decide how much profit you want to pay a dealer, the last variable in the transaction.
What's a fair profit? You have a perfect right to pay all the profit you want. But if your objective is to pay the least profit a dealer will take for the car, you'll need to start negotiating up from what the dealer paid the manufacturer for the car. That figure usually already has "hidden" profits in it. And at times, a dealership will be happy to accept "cost" rather than lose a sale. The only way to know whether a dealer will do so is to offer that figure and stick to it for a while. But if starting at "zero" bothers you, add any figure you'd like as a profit figure.
Information Edge links to sites provided by a variety of sources. We review sites for credibility and reliability, but Information Edge, of course, can't control advertising and other links on these sites. We advise ignoring pop-up ads, links to sales of products or services, and the like.

Warfarin (brand name Coumadin) is one of the most commonly used anticoagulants (meaning a medication that thins the blood). It is used in a variety of medical situations, including atrial fibrillation, blood clots and when there is an increased risk of blood clotting due to genetic predisposition. When a patient is on warfarin, they need frequent blood draws to measure blood thinness and frequent dose adjustments until they have reached a stable level of blood thinning.

Although the palette was limited — mostly oxblood, red, black, white and camel — there were quite a few prints on the runway at the fall/winter Burberry Prorsum show today in London. Animal prints, heart prints, grommets lined up just so. And textures! From croc and patent to fur and felted wool. The strongest pieces were the coats: Eye-catching and modern, they were also sharply tailored and classically constructed. Wearable. One or two spy trench-inspired coats could make a lady instantly look like a million bucks. A nice contrast to the slinky-stretchy gowns, a couple of which looked (gasp) cheap. Don't get me wrong, I'll take it all, especially the low wedge heels. Gimme.

Thousands of children wearing their "Sunday best" waited patiently in line to roll an egg on the White House lawn today, partaking in a tradition that has lasted our country for over a century.
The Easter Egg Roll is a 135 -year-old tradition that invites Americans to gather on the South Lawn of the White House for a day of fun and games to celebrate the Easter holiday. The theme of this year's egg extravaganza was "be healthy, be happy, be you!" Attendees did much more than roll eggs. Families played games, listened to stories read by Mr. and Mrs. Obama, and learned about healthy eating.
Kicking off the fanfare was this year's special guest, YouTube sensation "kid president." President Obama followed, giving a few remarks on the good weather, and turned things over to the First Lady who charged attendees to live a healthy lifestyle.
"Overall, we want you guys to have a good time and keep moving and be healthy. And, kids, eat your vegetables, OK?" Mrs. Obama said.
Over 35,000 people were invited to the celebration from all 50 states.
Katrina Franklin and Felicia Miller, a lesbian couple from Dallas, were among the lucky Texans to be invited. Prior to the event, the couple said they planned to bring their grandson.
"Our invitation to attend to the 135th White House Egg Roll allows our grandson to experience first-hand President Obama's commitment to support equality for all families regardless of race, sexual identity or religion – no matter where you are from – even from East Texas," Franklin told DallasVoice.com
Also representing Texas was Derrick Dockery of the Dallas Cowboys. Dockery joined fellow pro-athletes in the "eggtivity zone," an activity meant to show kids easy and fun ways to stay fit.
Scattered throughout the South Lawn were other activity stations for children and their families to enjoy. The Obama family made an appearance at several stations. First Lady Michele Obama joined Chef Anne Burrell and the Today Show's Al Roker in creating a delicious and well-balanced meal that included vegetables like broccoli.
"The thing about this, kids, is it doesn't taste like broccoli," Obama told the crowd.
Michele Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia Obama, accompanied by Bo, later read "Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See," and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" to the young audience.
Bo also sat with President Obama as he read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," later on in the day.
On the surface, the Easter Egg Roll might seem like a lighthearted celebration, but in Washington things always have political undertones.
When the White House decided it would host the event despite closing tours to the public due to budget cuts, many were outraged. Rep. Steve Stockman, an avid Twitter user, tweeted his frustration with the administration this morning.
Today is the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Kids get a commemorative wood egg and a bill for their $216,102 share of the national debt.
— Rep. Steve Stockman (@SteveWorks4You) April 1, 2013
To which constituent @SnakebiteJones replied, "why is the White House open for some people and not others?"

Well, to be quite fair Ron Paul said they talked about introducing a bill to end or audit the Fed on their first day in office together. Here is the entire long and excellent interview with David Asman on Fox Business channel.
Ron Paul also talks about becoming the new Chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy with the GOP taking control of the House.
The subcommittee's jurisdiction includes domestic monetary policy, and agencies which directly or indirectly affect domestic monetary policy, multilateral development lending institutions such as the World Bank, coins and currency including operations of the Bureau of the Mint and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and international trade and finance including all matters pertaining to the International Monetary Fund and the Export-Import Bank.
I don't think there could be a more perfect subcommittee for Ron Paul.
Later in the interview Judge Napolitano joins the discussion. Check it out below.

Ten thoughts after the Chicago Bears opened preseason Friday with a 34-28 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field.
1. Bring up the topic of Jimmy Clausen with Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera and he's instantly interested.
"How's Jimmy doing?" Rivera asked earlier this week at Carolina's training camp in Spartanburg, S.C. "Does he have a shot?"
No doubt Clausen has a shot in the Bears' competition for a backup role behind Jay Cutler. He looked fluid and probably a little more decisive Friday than his competition Jordan Palmer. Clausen completed 7 of 13 passes for 150 yards, with the big strike being a 73-yard touchdown pass to speedy Chris Williams. The Bears had a running play to Senorise Perry called and Clausen checked out of it because the Eagles were showing blitz. Williams got a great release against cornerback Jaylen Watkins in press man and Clausen looked off safety Chris Maragos in the middle of the field.
"I threw it out there for him and he ran underneath it and made a great play," Clausen said.
It appeared that the play clock had expired before the ball was snapped, but the play stood.
Later in the quarter, Clausen connected with Micheal Spurlock on a 22-yard touchdown strike. For a guy who wasn't signed until June 5, he's fitting right in and the coaching staff may consider flip-flopping the order of him and Palmer next time out.
Is it going as well as Clausen could have imagined?
"No," he said. "I am going to watch the tape and there are some things that I wish I could have back. First preseason game you are coming out and trying to move the chains and put points on the board."
His opportunity here is as a potential No. 2. It seems unlikely the Bears would keep both Clausen and Palmer. When Clausen suffered a shoulder injury in the final preseason game last year with the Panthers, his tenure there was over. Had he remained healthy, Rivera said there would have been a discussion about keeping him as a third behind Cam Newton and Derek Anderson.
"We saw him progress and do some really good things for us," Rivera said. "I was very excited about the way he played for us. He was having a good camp and then he got hurt. In the right setting, yes, he could be a No. 2. He is a very smart quarterback. He's got a good release, good footwork. He has good command of what you want to do. He's tough."
2. The NFL has told officials to put an emphasis on defensive holding and illegal contact and they've delivered through the first full week of preseason. Calls are up and it will be interesting to see if players adjust or if officials keep a few of those flags in their pockets when the regular season begins.
Specifically, the league has instructed officials to keep a close watch on defensive holding, illegal contact (contact beyond five yards downfield) and offensive pass interference. The Bears did well in this regard, as they didn't get called for any of these infractions.
It does seem like they were called for everything else, racking up a nauseating 14 penalties for 103 yards. The Eagles (nine penalties, 89 yards) were called for defensive holding three times and illegal contact once.
Through 13 preseason games to this point, unofficially there have been 45 defensive holding penalties, 22 illegal contact calls and nine offensive pass interference calls. The Cowboys were nabbed Thursday night at San Diego for six defensive holding calls by the crew of referee Bill Vinovich.
The NFL is conscious of trying to fit games into a three-hour window for television and a spike in penalties in the regular season will make that more difficult. The Bears' game lasted 3 hours, 29 minutes. We'll see how this plays out in the weeks to come.
3. Depth at tight end has been a legitimate question for the Bears and the trip to detention for Martellus Bennett created opportunities for others. No one took bigger advantage of his chances than Zach Miller. The preseason opener couldn't have gone any better for him as he caught all six passes targeted for him for 68 yards, scoring on a 10-yard pass from Jay Cutler when he adjusted nicely to a back shoulder throw, and then on a 12-yard pass from Jordan Palmer.
It was a big night for Miller, who is out to prove he can do a little bit of everything in his bid to claim a spot behind Bennett.
"It was a good start, Miller said. "I felt good, obviously, making plays like that."
Don't confuse Miller for the veteran tight end with the same name (same spelling) who plays for the Seahawks. This Miller is a journeyman just looking for a shot after a series of injuries left him waiting and hoping for the phone to ring last season.
"Freak things," Miller said. "That's what happened."
He's played in only four regular-season games since the conclusion of the 2010 season. Here's what happened:
In 2011, Miller caught a 14-yard touchdown pass against the Saints in Week 4 but New Orleans safety Roman Harper was underneath him and the collision popped his right shoulder out. He tried coming back two weeks later but the shoulder kept popping out so he was placed on injured reserve and had surgery.
In 2012, Miller partially tore his Achilles tendon and tore his calf muscle on one play. He was cutting off the defensive end on a naked play and heading into the flat when he pushed off and his leg popped. That sent him to injured reserve for the entire season.
If those two years were not bad enough, Miller called last year a "train wreck."
"I signed with Tampa at the beginning of the year and I was there for the offseason, training camp and it was just a situation that was no good," he said. "They waived me injured before the fourth game with a concussion that wasn't even much of a concussion. So I had the two years before that with injuries and then that and I went the year without getting signed."
But he kept grinding, heading to New York where he stayed with former Jaguars teammated David Garrard while he worked out. The Lions brought him in for a workout in late November. The Bears, interested in signing him to a futures contract, did the same thing the following week. He wound up with the Bears and now he's hoping a big start to preseason is a spring board to a roster spot.
"It's been a rough road," Miller said. "I know I can still play. We've got a great group and everyone is talented. We all bring something to the table. It's a competition that is going to play itself out. I just want to make plays when my number is called."
4. Speaking of Martellus Bennett, coach Marc Trestman didn't offer any clues to a possible return date for the suspended tight end after the game.
It made sense for Bennett to be absent for the game. His presence on the sideline would have been a potential distraction for those that have been working on the field. A logical return date would be at training camp Sunday, when the team gets on the field again.
"It has not been decided one way or another," Trestman said. "We will continue to get focused on that a little bit over the next 24 hours. I will certainly let you know on Sunday where we are."
While the Bears have called Bennett's suspension "indefinite," there is a cap. The collective bargaining agreement states the maximum a player can be suspended for conduct detrimental to the team is four weeks. The club announced Bennett also has been fined and the maximum he can be fined is one week's pay. His base salary is $4.8 million so that makes one week of pay $282,352. So, figure that fine is somewhere between $1 and $282,352.
When the Bears signed Bennett last season, they guaranteed him $9.215 million. He earned $5.315 million in 2013, so the club is guaranteeing him $3.9 million of the $4.9 million he is scheduled to earn this year ($4.8 million base salary, $100,000 workout bonus). Of course, the fine is going to eat into that total.
5. Wide receiver Chris Williams looked plenty fast on his 73-yard touchdown and he says he suffered a pulled right hamstring at the beginning of the play. The good news is it is a mild injury. He still outran two Eagles defensive backs.
"Things happen," Williams said. "I felt it right away. I went the distance not feeling 100 percent. I am disappointed I didn't get to finish (the game). I am happy we got the win. For me personally I am a little bummed out."
Williams' speed sets him apart and that is why it's a little hard to understand why he wasn't given a shot in the return game. The plan was to work him and he was injured midway through the third quarter.
Eric Weems was first up in the return game. The Bears ought to know exactly what they can get from the veteran when it comes to returning punts and kickoffs. Williams is the unknown and the guy they made multiple runs at last season before finally luring him off the practice squad of the Saints. Seems to me they should have prioritized Williams in the return game. We'll see how long he is sidelined.
6. Speaking of being sidelined, right tackle Jordan Mills missed the game as his left foot remains sore. He had surgery on the foot in January and that forced him to miss a good chunk of the offseason program but he was cleared before training camp. Mills has not practiced since Tuesday but he got peace of mind when an X-ray was performed showing no structural damage where the screw was inserted in his foot.
"It's fine," Mills said. "It's just a sore foot. Everything is fine. Your foot, you stand on it all the time. It's the first thing that touches the ground when you get out of bed. You have surgery and you are still going to have those days when you have soreness."
His hope is to be back on the practice field on Sunday but the medical staff will have to give him the go ahead.
7. The NFL is experimenting with placing extra points at the 15-yard line in preseason, leading to extra points from a distance of 33 yards. Robbie Gould has been outspoken against a change in the regular season, which could be evaluated for the 2015 season. He was 2-for-2 on the longer extra points. Through 13 games, kickers are 44-for-46. The Panthers' Jason Gay missed Friday night and so did the Saints' Shayne Graham, who knocked one off the left upright. Kickers have been accurate on field goals, combining to be 35-for-45. Two of the 10 misses have been blocked, including Gould's 41-yard try against the Eagles. Only one kick inside of 40 yards has been missed as the Colts' Adam Vinatieri was wide right with a 29-yard attempt Thursday night.
8. Joe DeCamillis is going to have a whole host of things to review with special teams as there were plenty of mistakes. The blocked field goal and a 102-yard kickoff return by the Eagles' Josh Huff have to top the list. Too many coverage players simply couldn't come off their blocks on the touchdown. Michael Ford created a botched punt that led to a turnover when he didn't give Micheal Spurlock room to field the ball. Those are three critical errors that cannot be tolerated.
The punting game with Pat O'Donnell and Tress Way was inconsistent. Then there was Josh Bellamy getting flagged for illegal touching – he went out of bounds and was the first man to touch the ball upon re-entry – and an illegal formation call on a punt. Trevor Scott was called for an illegal block on a punt return. That is an area that was unacceptable in 2013 when the Bears had 20 penalties on special teams for 154 yards. Only four teams were penalized more on special teams: Denver, Washington, Baltimore and St. Louis.
9. Tough to get too close of a read on the long-snapping situation. Looked like the Bears paired Chad Rempel up with punter Pat O'Donnell and Brandon Hartson with punter Tress Way. What remains to be seen is if they will flip the snappers with the punters next week. Otherwise, you'd likely believe Rempel is in the lead because it's going to take a significant upset for the draft pick O'Donnell not to win the punting job.
10. Scouts from 10 NFL clubs were in attendance at the game. Represented were the Bucs, Cowboys, Dolphins, Lions, Packers, Panthers, Raiders, Redskins, Saints and Steelers. Interestingly, the Bills -- the Bears' season-opening opponent -- were not present. Also present were two CFL clubs, the Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
10 a. Zach Miller made the most of chances in the passing game but Dante Rosario also had a fine 23-yard pickup on a seam route.
10 b. Linebackers Shea McClellin and Jon Bostic both looked like they had a tough time.
10 c. Cornerback Demontre Hurst was credited with a team-high eight tackles to go with a pass defended. That will get the undrafted rookie from a year ago on film.
10 d. Defensive end Trevor Scott made the most of his opportunity with Jared Allen sitting out. He had some strong pass rushes.
10 e. Can't say we learned a whole lot about the backup running back situation. Nobody did a whole lot.
10 f. Three practices remain in Bourbonnais if you are planning to get to training camp before it is closed up for the summer. There are practices Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at Olivet Nazarene University.

SOCORRO, N.M., August 19, 2002 -- The Women's Resource Center (WRC) at New Mexico Tech is not a real place where women can come together and relax. There are no chairs or couches or tables. Instead, the WRC at New Mexico Tech is a virtual meeting place where women can come together to discuss issues or get information.
The WRC has been on-line with a web page called Connexions since August 2001 (http://www.nmt.edu/~women/). Dr. Susan Field and Dr. Douglas Dunston are the Connexions editors. Along with the web page, the WRC sponsors events for the women of New Mexico Tech and the city of Socorro.
One of the first events sponsored by the WRC was an opportunity for new female students to meet female members of the faculty at a special luncheon.
Another event featured Robin Marshment, a meteorologist then with KOB-TV in Albuquerque. Marshment gave a lecture entitled, "Up in the Air: How to Have a Career in Science and a Life."
While the WRC is a virtual place for the women of New Mexico Tech to gather and freely exchange ideas and information it is also a place for the women of Socorro. In an effort to reach out to the local community, the WRC sponsored "A Children's Book Fair." The book fair was held at Parkview Elementary School and all the proceeds were donated to El Puente, the Socorro domestic violence shelter.
The WRC will continue to reach out to all women when it plays host to New Mexico Women's Studies Conference 2003. The featured speaker will be photographer, writer, and social activist Margaret Randall. She is the author of We, Coming Up For Air, Sandino's Daughters, and dozens of other books.
Randall was born in New York City in 1936 and moved with her family to Albuquerque when she was 11 years old. She attended the University of New Mexico for one year and then left Albuquerque in 1955 for Europe. Since then she has lived in Spain, been part of the beatnik movement, co-edited a literary magazine in Mexico call El Corno Emplumado, and worked in Nicaragua as an oral historian, photographer, and journalist.
Conference co-coordinator Dr. Susan Field says that the New Mexico Women's Studies Conference is scheduled to run February 28 through March 1, 2003 on the New Mexico Tech campus.
Field, also involved with the WRC, says that a long-term goal is an actual place for the WRC to call home "a place where the women of New Mexico Tech are individuals, a place where women can relax and feel secure." Field wants this to be a place where you're "noticed because you're an individual, not because you're a woman."

Is it hereditary?
Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is not usually hereditary. It is therefore not caused by the genes received from a person's parents. Even if several members of a family have in the past been diagnosed as having Alzheimer's disease, this does not mean that another member of the family will necessarily develop it, as the majority of cases of Alzheimer's disease are not genetic. However, as the disease is so common in the elderly, it is not unusual for two or more family members over the age of 65 to have it.
Whether or not there are other members of a family with Alzheimer's disease, everyone risks developing the disease at some time. However, it is now known that there is a gene, which can affect this risk. This gene is found on chromosome 19 and it is responsible for the production of a protein called apolipoprotein E (ApoE). There are three main types of this protein, one of which (ApoE4), although uncommon, makes it more likely that Alzheimer's disease will occur. However, it does not cause the disease, but merely increases the likelihood. For example, a person of 50, would have a 2 in 1,000 chance of developing Alzheimer's disease instead of the usual 1 in 1,000, but might never actually develop it. Only half of people with Alzheimer's disease have ApoE4 and not everyone with ApoE4 suffers from it.

Grading of Items:
Items are graded as Record Collector Standard
Record Collector's Grading System
The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.
The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
CDs & CASSETTES:
As a general rule, CDs and cassettes either play perfectly - in which case they are in Mint condition - or they don't, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CDs are difficult to grade visually: they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaced if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves

Upcoming: Farmer dinner at Cactus featuring the He'eia ahupua'a
Photos courtesy of Kako'o 'Oiwi
Latin American flavors meet … the He'eia ahupua'a? Reserve your seat for Cactus' upcoming farmer series dinner, a unique six-course dinner featuring ingredients from He'eia, some of it rarely seen on restaurant menus. There will be Samoan crab, starring in a hominy and crab broth spiced with guajillo chiles as well as atop a Peruvian causa, reinterpreted as a sweet potato terrine layered with pickled ho'io (fiddlehead fern). It might be the first time Samoan crab has ever been prepared this way.
John Memering, chef/owner of Cactus, describes the Samoan crab as "mean ass;" it's an aggressive creature with a shell that barely gives way to a hammer and claws large and fierce as gorillas' jaws. But the reward is lots of meat.
Also on the menu: a limu salad tossed with Big Island fava beans and aji amarillo; spicy grilled he'e, or octopus, alongside crispy ulu confit; and a kalo fritter with spiced Madre hot chocolate.
Memering says, "I obviously wanted to showcase the ingredients [from He'eia]… But my main focus is to showcase them in 'non-local' preparations. I want people to realize that the ulu tree in the backyard is a source of good eats. Poi is so much more than a condiment at a luau … The flavors will be familiar, but with a Latino twist."
The dinner is a collaboration with the three organizations dedicated to restoring the He'eia ahupua'a, from mountain to sea, from lo'i to fishpond: Papahana Kuaola, which restores native ecosystems and lo'i; Kako'o 'Oiwi, tasked with managing 400 acres of He'eia wetlands; and Paepae o He'eia, which cares for the He'eia fishpond. They will be on hand at the dinner to talk story.
"My first encounter with the 'gang' was at a workday at Kako'o 'Oiwi," says Memering. "I was totally blown away by the intelligence, work ethic and passion they and everyone else had that I met that day … Every time I'm out there for a work day, they work the livin' s--- outta you. But the feeling you get being part of the mana with such amazing people in such an amazing, fertile, spiritual place is indescribable."

What do Jenny on the Block, a freshly minted studio exec and Machete have in common? They are all new invitees to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The academy announced Friday that it had invited 276 people to join its ranks, including singer-actress Jennifer Lopez, newly appointed Warner Bros. Chief Executive Kevin Tsujihara and tough-guy actor Danny Trejo, in addition to a number of other minorities and women in an increased effort to diversify its membership.
In the actors branch, Kimberly Elise ("Beloved"), Paula Patton ("Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol") and Michael Peña ("End of Watch") are among the 22 invitees.
Directors Steve McQueen ("Shame"), Pablo Larrain ("No") and Catherine Hardwicke ("Twilight") were sent invitations along with 12 others, including Todd Phillips ("The Hangover") and Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids"). Lena Dunham ("Tiny Furniture"), John Lee Hancock ("The Blind Side") and Sarah Polley ("Away From Her") are three of the 13 writers asked to join the organization responsible for the film industry's annual Academy Awards.
As a whole, the new invitees represent a change in policy at the academy, which at the end of last year removed its quota requirement that had been in place since 2004. The academy has about 5,800 voting members; in recent years, fewer than 200 people have been invited to join annually. The number of openings had been determined by how many members had retired, resigned or died. In the last decade, the overall ranks have not grown by more than 30 members a year. By and large, those invited to join the academy do so (although actor Viggo Mortensen and writer-director Woody Allen are two notable exceptions).
The new policy has been championed by academy President Hawk Koch, who has made it a priority during his one-year tenure to diversify the branches of the organization. "I spoke with every single branch committee, and I said, 'Please take a look and see if there are people of diversity: gender, age, race, etc., and see if any of them meet our criteria. If they do, if they are the best of the best in that particular branch, then maybe you'll want to take them in,'" he said. "I'm excited and I'm proud because it's a great list. It's very inclusive. They are a talented and diverse group of artists and filmmakers."
A Los Angeles Times study published last year found that academy voters were markedly less diverse than the moviegoing public and even more monolithic than many in the film industry may have suspected.
At the time of the study, Oscar voters were nearly 94% Caucasian and 77% male, The Times found. Blacks made up about 2% of the academy and Latinos numbered fewer than 2%. Oscar voters had a median age of 62, the study showed. People younger than 50 constituted just 14% of the membership.
Despite the likely addition of such older performers as musician Prince, lead actress nominee Emmanuelle Riva ("Amour") and veteran actor Charles Grodin, the academy also tried to bring younger members into its fold. Actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 32, Jack Huston, 30, and actress-writer-director Lena Dunham, 27, are part of that shift. No surprise that the newly announced members took to Twitter to show their appreciation, with Dunham writing, "Pretty thrilling. Thank you so much. This is making up for the trials of middle school."
To filmmaker Ava DuVernay, who was chosen by both the writer and director branches for membership — one of only three invitees to hold that honor, all of whom will have to choose one branch to join — the invitation is a big deal.
"I'm a movie geek and it's the academy. You can't act cool. It's awesome," she said of the invitation. But the filmmaker, who recently helmed an ESPN documentary on Venus Williams titled "Venus Vs.," is also heartened to be a part of a list that features a more diversified group of people.
"I look at that list and I see a lot of people of color and a lot of women and I say, 'Bravo.' It's a list that more accurately reflects real life. I'm happy to be included."

We are exposed to a modern world of convenience using toxic chemicals in our high performance beauty products. The pores of the skin are like sponges: whatever you put on your body eventually ends up inside the body. Fresh plant oils containing supplementary essential fatty acids are best for the scalp and hair. Essential Fatty Acids found in unrefined coconut oil, jojoba oil, hemp seeds, flaxseeds and wheat germ oil, to name a few are good nutritional sources. EFA's provide building blocks for cell membranes and are excellent carriers for important minerals and vitamins. They also contain 50 vital nutrients found in raw foods. Essential Fatty Acids are needed by the body yet not manufactured by the body, and are key ingredients for healthy hair and scalp.
In our contemporary struggle for a thin figure, countless people in our society have renounced the intake of fats. They believe that fats are responsible for common ills such as cancer, obesity, heart disease and degenerative diseases, erroneously overlooking the vital and critical need for EFA's. To put it simply, fresh plant oils have profound healing and nutritional benefits. It is the oxidized (spoiled oil), chemically altered, hydrogenated or trans-fatty acids (blood fat), and the inert mineral oils that are the lifeless lipids that don't offer us anything regarding beauty or health requirements. Tran's fats literally block the metabolism and prevent essential hormone production. They cannot support our bodies with anything more then calories.
In my business I have observed many clients who have experienced dramatic improvements from scalp diseases like eczema and seborrhea by including polyunsaturated oils in the diet. These oils support the blood and are found in deep-water fish such as salmon, sardines or trout. If you do not eat fish, I would suggest including fresh hemp seed oil or flax. Hempseed oil has 80% total oil volume the highest amount of polyunsaturated essential fatty acids found in a plant oil. Flax seed oil comes in second at 72%.
Daily intake of Essential Fatty Acids and massaging EFA's into the hair and scalp periodically, provides the good nutrition that feeds the follicle helping to speed up the blood flow. Your blood is the carrier of all your essential nutrients directly feeding your hair at its roots

While we continue to Celebrate the Calgary Stampede with a week of surprises and lots of cash to be won, Calgarians are looking for ways to beat the heat.
Southern Alberta is in the grips of a heat wave, with temperatures close to 30 C in the city Tuesday, and expected to remain in the high 20s throughout the week.
"We do anticipate over the next couple of days some late afternoon or early evening thunderstorms developing." said Environment Canada meteorologist Bill McMurtry.
While that happens and the temperatures drop, here are some ways you can cool down under the glaring sun:
Set the Dial Higher
If you have central air, set your thermostat above 78 degrees (all temperatures cited here are in degrees Fahrenheit). You'll save 5 to 8 percent on cooling costs with each degree above that mark. For a typical household, setting the thermostat at 80 degrees saves 10 to 15 percent; raising it to 85 degrees will save 35 to 55 percent.
Wear loose fitting light colored clothing.
Lighter colors attract less heat and with loose clothing it will allow for more air-flow to help keep you cool.
Change your routine.
As nice as that run may be early afternoon on a Saturday, summer is not the time for it! Adjust your activities so they are happening earlier or later in the day when the temperatures are cooler and the sun isn't beating on you as harshly.
Snack on treats from the freezer
Munch on frozen grapes, berries or bananas, whip up some smoothies, or make homemade Popsicles with the kids.
Spritz yourself.
Keep a spray bottle in the refrigerator, and when the going gets hot, give yourself a good squirt. "As the water evaporates, it cools you." says John Lehnhardt, an elephant expert at Disney's Animal Kingdom, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Swig often. To replace the moisture that you lose as you perspire, be sure to drink. As you lose water to dehydration, your body temperature rises, so replacing fluids is essential to keeping cool. Avoid beverages that contain alcohol, caffeine, or lots of sugar, which are dehydrating.
Go for a swim…
…even if its in a plastic pool in the back yard!

Why is Reid not skeptical of Bush's demand for telecom immunity?
Front paged at Booman Tribune and ePluribus Media
I'll start right at the outset of this by pointing out that when Tom Daschle lost his election, Chris Dodd lost to Harry Reid by one vote to become the Senate Minority Leader. Both drational and booman have excellent posts up about Reid screwing over Dodd and the rest of the country on the FISA bill with respect to telecom immunity. With this, instead of asking what could have been if Dodd had one more vote, let's use this to push for what will be (if Dodd doesn't win the Presidency, of course).
While their diaries are excellent, I want to take a different angle here, and I have action items directly from Dodd himself at the bottom of this post. What I want to know is, if Bush is pushing so hard for retroactive immunity for the telecom companies in their illegal acts, then why is Reid (and Sen. Jay Rockefeller) so hell bent on going against his own party, including many of the Presidential candidates in order to accommodate this?
Some say that it is because they received money from the telecom companies. While that may be a contributing factor, there are many other ways to not have the telecom companies be completely and totally liable for their illegal actions. There are also a number of ways to do this without also accommodating Mister Bush's demands with no compromise from him.
Back in August, the Washington Post had an article titled, NSA Spying Part of Broader Effort, which confirmed a number of things that were pretty damning to Bush (emphasis mine):
The Bush administration's chief intelligence official said yesterday that President Bush authorized a series of secret surveillance activities under a single executive order in late 2001. The disclosure makes clear that a controversial National Security Agency program was part of a much broader operation than the president previously described.
The disclosure by Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, appears to be the first time that the administration has publicly acknowledged that Bush's order included undisclosed activities beyond the warrantless surveillance of e-mails and phone calls that Bush confirmed in December 2005.
News reports over the past 20 months have detailed a range of activities linked to the program, including the use of data mining to identify surveillance targets and the participation of telecommunication companies in turning over millions of phone records. The administration has not publicly confirmed such reports.
We know from this, as well as other articles that were released and written about since then that the NSA was collecting data and phone records using the help of the telecom companies as well as Bush's involvement in this and that this was pretty much unprecedented.
On his website, Senator Feingold has a copy of the letter sent to Reid about adopting a version of the FISA bill that does not include retroactive immunity. And a few months back, a number of articles indicated that the White House "cut a deal with the Senate Intelligence Committee for it to review documents not available to anyone else in exchange for providing retroactive immunity:
Senate Judiciary Committee members yesterday angrily accused the White House of allowing the Senate Intelligence Committee to review documents on its warrantless surveillance program in return for agreeing that telecommunications companies should get immunity from lawsuits.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) and Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), the ranking Republican, said any such agreement would be "unacceptable," signaling that legislation granting immunity to certain telecom carriers could run into trouble. Leahy and Specter demanded that the documents, which were provided only to the Intelligence Committee, be turned over to the Judiciary Committee as well.
The White House didn't even really deny this allegation at the time:
Tony Fratto, a White House spokesman, said yesterday that what the White House did was "not exactly" a quid pro quo but that the intelligence panel "expected to legislate on the liability" and so "we've been accommodative on sharing information."
A week or so back, Troutfishing wrote a diary about secret directives and secret memos that Bush himself signed authorizing torture. Similarly, there are documents that are at least being withheld from the Senate Judiciary Committee. The same committee whose FISA legislation will be railroaded by Reid for the Senate Intelligence Committee bill that gives immunity to the telecom companies.
But if the Senate Intelligence Committee can review these documents and come to the conclusion that retroactive immunity is necessary, then why can't the Senate Judiciary Committee see those documents as well?
And more importantly, what is in those secret documents that (1) Bush doesn't want anyone to see unless they promise not to hold anyone responsible for illegal data mining and wiretapping, (2) does it in fact, lead right back to a directive by Bush himself for the telecom companies to break the law and (3) won't this shelter Bush from being held directly accountable for not only breaking the law, but authorizing (or forcing) others to break it as well?
We need to know what Bush is hiding, what he ordered and told the telecom companies to do and if he directed them to break the law. We also need to know why Harry Reid is allowing this to happen against the will of his party and the American people, and why he is covering for Bush's potential criminal acts.
*****Action Items From Dodd*****
Here is the link to Chris Dodd's website link for action items, and here is the text from his site:
Today, that FISA fight we've all been waiting for begins.
In a few hours, Majority Leader Harry Reid will ask for something called a "motion to proceed" on FISA, effectively disregarding Chris Dodd's "hold" on the bill.
Remember when this all started playing out? A lot of people rushed to send out strongly worded press releases about how committed they were to "supporting a filibuster."
Call or email the Senators that pledged to support a filibuster and ask them to be there when it happens to pick up the ball after Chris Dodd can go no longer.
Leadership is demonstrated through action.
Let's see what we can do. And while we are at it, ask what secret Executive Orders and other documents Mister Bush is hiding from what he says is a "legal" program.
