2013 and earlier-Subaru Legacy Lease Questions
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515I'm glad that you enjoy this forum so much, subaru25. Here's the information that you're looking for. Subaru Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5 Special Edition with 12,000 miles per year are .00230 and 70%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take the $1,000 cash incentive that is available on it into account. It will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
iioneosixii Posts: 4I just went to the local Subaru dealership in Queens, NY yesterday to look at the same car. I had my mind set on leasing the car but they were trying to convince me to either finance the Spec B or lease the GT instead. They mentioned a 46% residual on a 36 month lease with 15/yr...which would cost me over $500/month with 3000 down. This was with a cap cost of 32000, which is a few hundred below invoice. Those numbers blew my mind and were way higher than the $400/month max payment i was expecting. I'm pretty sure these guys were trying to pull a fast one but I may be wrong.
Have you been quoted or gotten any ballpark numbers? I would also like to know the residual and money factor on the 08 Spec B with 15k/year on a 36 month lease.
Is this a good deal on the 2.5i Spec. Edition Lease. Retail is $24,345 minus dealer discount of $1,000 (for leasing) - $1,250 (customer cash) - $1,572 (dealer discount) for a total of (-$3696) off of the vehicle. Price of vehicle is then $20,649 with a 69% residual ($16978). Money Factor is .0019. Lease term is for 24 months.
Payment for 10K is $280 per month.
Payment for 12K is $291.per month
Pittsburgh, PA.
That sounds like a great price on the car (which is on my short list at the moment as well), but you've left out a bit of information. Are you putting any money down? Are taxes and/or other fees (bank fee, for example) rolled into the lease? I also assume that the residual of 69% is for 12k miles, and 10k miles is a bit higher.
Plugging your #s into http://leaseguide.com/calc.htm, the monthly cost seems high unless there are fees rolled in.
Assuming you have about $800 in fees (plus taxes) rolled into the monthly payments, and are not putting any money down for cap cost reduction, it all seems to add up.
Have you looked at the Limited edition as opposed the the Special Edition? It has an upgraded interior, but I'm not sure if it has the options you've added to the Spec. Edition and whether or not the lease terms are exactly the same.
Doug, Thanks for the info. They didn't break down all of the extra fees for me, but I thought the exact same thing, that there was atleast $800 more in there than what they were saying.
I am looking at the Limited Editions now online, being that its only about $1K more than the SEi model that I am looking at.
Do you know the MF & residual for 36 months leases by chance???
countrydriver Posts: 3Happy Holidays!
I recently came into a very small inheritance and am now able to purchase my van.
I am just not sure if it makes sense or not.
I own a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE which is selling locally around $33,000cdn.
My current buyout value is $28,000 plus 15% tax and I am paying $661/mth and halfway through the lease term.
Any thought or ideas of the pros and cons of buying this lease out early.
Thank-you kindly.
CD :confuse:
I don't know the details but I think the 24 month program is their best offer at the moment.
I just got an offer for $280/month (includes tax) with $2000 out of pocket for 10k miles on a Limited. I do believe this was a good deal, but still more than I set out to spend. I think I can get the Special Ed. for approx $50 less per month. I am also shopping the Jetta, which also has good lease deals now.

What kind of discounts did you get on the Legacy Limited Lease. Right now, I am getting a 1250 Subaru discount and a 1500 discount from the Dealer. I want them to give me 10% off of the sticker price from the dealer, not including the $1250. The sticker price is roughly 23K for the Special Edition and 25.5K for the Limited.
If they don't accept my offer tomorrow I am going to check out the Jettas.
I did not get into that level of detail. I had worked enough numbers in advance to get a sense of what was fair and called around to try to get a better deal. I believe that if they were willing to go lower they would, regardless of HOW they did so. I think the rebate in NJ is only $1000 and not $1250.
Anyhow, as much as I LOVED the Legacy Limited, I finally went for the Jetta SE (see my post in that discussion) since the deal was so good. Perhaps I could have gotten close to that price with the Special Edition but just wanted to be done with it already.
Good luck.
- Doug
what kind of deal did VW give you? I went there today and looked at the SE. $21K car, and they could not even come close to the Subaru price for a $23K subaru. I have a 1999 VW Jetta that I wanted to trade, and they gave me the lowest trade in value. Plus, VW did not want to discount their vehicle. What kind of discount did you get?? I typically go for 10% off the MSRP.
I'm currently looking at an Acura TSX, but figured I'd check out a Legacy GT 2.5 since they are the same price. Does anyone know what numbers I could expect to see from them? Can I go there with the numbers from Acura and expect them to work to a similar number? I'm looking to get one for about $300 a month with no more than 1,500 down. Is that unrealistic????
************UPDATE************ I went to Pine Belt Subaru in Lakeood and the salesman was really nice. Gave me numbers I wanted to hear, but the 2.5i is NOTHING compared to a TSX for performance. I took out the 2.5 GT Limited and was amazed. I got them down to $2,500 down and $339 for a fully loaded 5-speed GT Limited. I don't know if I should consider this or now go back to Acura with these numbers for a TL. Problem is that this car is the same length etc. as the TSX. Just the engine is amazing compared. The Acura TSX would be $1499 and 320 a month. I want to make a decision soon. Any info would be great!!!

Xin? Izzat you? Meh, some of the criticism was rather harsh, and rather harsher than it needed to be, imo. I think it's a bit natural since there's been a change in artists, as there is a point of comparison and also some old loyalties going on.

Reclaimer wrote:Why? Is it because he took her kingdom and captured her lover? You think maybe getting her kingdom and lover back might lower her blood pressure a little?
That is and always has been the leading assumption, but I've never bought into that. Status quo would be resuming services as a mercenary contractor against a marketable opponent. The battlefield is ever-changing; he's not gonna switch his entire established game plan just because one side starts winning.
TamLin wrote:Perhaps it's just me, but when Sammy said "Ask Charlie" I thought that perhaps this meant even he didn't know what his objectives were. That certainly seems like an appropriately dick move for Charlie to pull; "You have a goal, but I won't let you know what it is, you just have to guess or hope that you achieve it accidentally before sustaining too many casualties. Have fun."
gazes_also wrote:Keeps Slately and Trammenis alienated
I actually think Charlie is trying to protect Jillian, so the primary objective is to have Sammy capture Ansom so she doesn't risk herself doing it. The secondary objective - eliminate the the archery units so her flyers can go in untouched if the second wave is necessary.
My theory is that Charlie is a Unicorn.

well, I know it's far-fetched, but Charlie is a master in providing troubles (and offering non-cheap solutions, too)...

Dancing Cthulhu wrote:Rock on Haggar, rock on.
Hmmm, objectives. So Haggar/Sammy likely have a target but Charlie wasn't too heavy handed with them - he hasn't forced them to fight to the death.
effataigus wrote:I'm curious about the 1/2 amount also.
If Charlie made this amount too large then Haggar probably wouldn't do it just because it would devastate Haggar's side and leave them nothing to shore up their capital's defenses with in the long run.
If Charlie made it too small Haggar could intentionally lay down and die just so that most of the GK forces are still alive to mess up Jetstone and FAQ.
It clearly wasn't too large for Sammy to take the bait. Was it too small?
I think Sammy should have called Charlie's bluff and returned home (unless Sammy is legitimately concerned about GK). Charlie would make a lot of enemies if he, an attuned, wiped out a royal side when Haggar was ostensibly coming to help the RCC2. This would also require that Charlie redirect a ton of forces away from whatever their current involvement is in this battle.
copperhamster wrote:I'm telling you, Charlie's a tuna.
The other side of that is that the 'objectives' must be clearly defined and reasonably achievable.
Dancing Cthulhu wrote:As others have said I find it understandable she would still have a strong desire to get back at Stanley (though if I remember rightly Stanley was a bit surprised she hated him).
Welf von Ehrwald wrote:[I also like that idea. But maybe Charley's concern wasn't to get rid of Banhammer, but of Stanley. An other attuned arkenwielder would have been trouble (and he would), so sending him to a suicide mission would solve that. And what better place to hide an arkentool than a hidden kingdom in impassable mountains? And with Faqs weak military it would have been no problem to get the arkenhammer later if required. 50 archons should do that.
I've been considering this too. Stanley was supposed to lose, but that was an incorrect conclusion that Wanda (And easily Charlie as well) drew based on FAQ's predictamancer. If he set Stanley up for a fall, then he's hated him for a very, very long time. Now the question is why.
Edit: If he's responsible for the current Gobwin shortage, could Charlie be behind the mysterious Gobwin revolution that killed off GK's King Saline? He was a Royal (Obviously), which would mean ol' Citizen Chuck's guilty of regicide; he would DEF-IN-ITE-LY want to keep that a secret. It also means that he's completely and totally authored his own nemesis here, which could go a ways towards explaining the animosity between the two.
Edit 2: This one seems pretty obvious now that I think about it: What are the odds Vurp's under an NDA re: Saline's death?

The EU urges the competent Ukrainian authorities to ensure a fair, transparent and impartial process in any appeal in the case of Ms. Tymoshenko and in the other trials related to members of the former Government. The right of appeal should not be compromised by imposing limitations on the defendants' ability to stand in future elections in Ukraine, including the parliamentary elections scheduled for next year. The EU will reflect on its policies towards Ukraine. The way the Ukrainian authorities will generally respect universal values and rule of law, and specifically how they will handle these cases, risks having profound implications for the EU-Ukraine bilateral relationship, including for the conclusion of the Association Agreement, our political dialogue and our co-operation more broadly.
Last week, the Ukrainian parliament [official website] rejected four amendments to the country's Criminal Code [materials] that sought to decriminalize Article 365, which stipulates jail time for abuse of office [JURIST report]. Tymoshenko's trial resumed at the end of September after a two-week recess [JURIST reports]. In August, Yushchenko testified against [JURIST report] Tymoshenko, his former prime minister. That same month, the Kiev Appeals Court refused Tymoshenko's appeal of her detention for contempt charges [JURIST reports]. Also in August, Kireyev rejected a request [JURIST report] from Tymoshenko to release her from prison. In July, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) [official website, in Ukrainian] announced that they are launching a criminal investigation [JURIST report] into United Energy Systems of Ukraine (UESU), an energy company at one time headed by Tymoshenko. Tymoshenko's government was dissolved in March 2010 after she narrowly lost the presidential election to Yanukovych. Tymoshenko had alleged that widespread voter fraud allowed Yanukovych to win the election.

Tenants Don't Have to Move Right Away In a Foreclosure
Tenants Don't Have to Move Right Away In a Foreclosure
You do NOT have to move right away when your building is foreclosed.
You are protected by state and federal laws. Here's information about how you can protect your rights.
Find out your landlord's foreclosure status.
If you think your landlord is being foreclosed on, call the Superior Court clerk's office. Give the clerk the name of your landlord to find out whether your landlord is in foreclosure and whether your landlord still owns the property. You can also go to the clerk's office to check the files yourself.
If your landlord is in foreclosure and still owns the property:
1. Keep paying your rent! If you stop paying your rent, your landlord can evict you for not paying the rent.
2. Keep track of the foreclosure. Not all foreclosures go through. Many are resolved.
If the foreclosure is done and your landlord no longer owns the property:
There are two types of foreclosure, strict foreclosure or foreclosure by sale.
1. In a strict foreclosure, the new owner is the plaintiff in the foreclosure action.
2. In a foreclosure by sale, the court clerk can give you contact information for the sale committee. The sale committee can tell you who the new owner is. If a sign for an auction was put in front of your building your landlord was going through a foreclosure by sale.
You should get a letter or a visit from someone representing the new owner. This person might offer you a "cash for keys" deal to try to get you to move out of the property right away.
You don't have to move out right away.
- If you have a written lease, you have the right to stay until the end of the lease.
- If you don't have a written lease, the new owner has to give you at least 90 days notice before starting an eviction against you.
- If an eviction begins, you have the right to go to Housing Court and ask the judge to give you up to 6 months in your apartment while you look for a new place to live. Remember, you do not have to move until a judge in an eviction case tells you that you have to be out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I take an offer of money to move out of my rental unit right away ("cash for keys")?
- The new owner may offer you money to move out before the 90 days are up. It is your choice to take the offer or not. You should not take it unless you have another place to live and the money offered covers your moving costs, first month's rent, security deposit and housing-related expenses in your next apartment. Otherwise, going to court may be a better option.
- The bank DOESN'T have to offer you money to move out, but if it does, the offer must be the HIGHEST of: 1) two month's rent, 2) two times the security deposit (including interest), or 3) $2,000. If the bank offers you "cash for keys," the offer should therefore almost always be for at least $2,000 and may have to be for more. If the offer is less than this amount, don't agree; contact the Attorney General's office at 860-808-5318.
What if I have a lease and I am served with eviction papers?
- According to Connecticut law, you can stay in your apartment for the full term of the lease. The new owner will be able to evict you only if you break any of the rules of your lease. The only exception to this rule is if the new owner wants to live in your apartment, in which case you are still entitled to 90 days before you can be forced to move.
- If an eviction is started, all adult tenants need to file an Appearance and Answer form at the Housing Court Clerk's office. You can get the forms online or from the court clerk. Check box #8 on the Special Defenses section of the answer, which says this eviction was brought after a foreclosure action, and the first box under that special defense, which says you have a written lease that is still in effect. Call Statewide Legal Services at 800-453-3320 for possible legal representation.
What if I am not given the 90-day notice before the eviction process begins?
File an Appearance and Answer form with the Housing Court Clerk's office. You can get the forms online or from the court clerk. Check box #8 on the Special Defenses section of the answer, which says this eviction was brought after a foreclosure action, and the second box under that special defense, which says you never received a 90 day letter (notice) before the notice to quit was delivered (served). Call SLS at 800-453-3320 for possible legal representation.
Is it possible to stay on long-term as a tenant after foreclosure?
If the new owner of your building is the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") or the Federal Home Loan Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), then you should be allowed to remain as a tenant and offered a new month-to-month lease, at least until the property is sold. If the new owner is a bank, you do not have the right to sign a new lease, but you should always tell the new owner that you want to stay and make sure to explain any special reasons why you think you be allowed to stay (for example, if you have a disability, have made a lot of renovations, or have children in school in the area).
What if I need more time to move than the 90 days and receive eviction papers?
- If you do not leave within the 90 day period, the new owner can begin an eviction against you in court. You cannot be forced to move until the owner gets a court order. You have the right to file papers and to defend yourself and to ask for more time. See Legal Aid's article, The Eviction Process...Before the Judge Decides.
- You can tell the judge if your apartment is in bad shape or the owner acted illegally. You can also ask the judge for more time to move. Make sure you can show you have been trying your best to find a new place or have another good reason for not leaving. The judge will look at your situation and decide when you must move.
When must I actually move out of the building?
Only a judge can tell you that you have to move. It is illegal for anyone to insist that you leave immediately or for anyone to lock you out of your unit. If this happens, you should call the police.
What if I have a Section 8 or other subsidized tenancy?
The new owner has to take over your Section 8 lease and the Housing Assistance Contract (HAP contract) with the Housing Authority. Make sure you tell your Housing Authority about the foreclosure. You have the same protections after foreclosure as any other tenant with a lease. With Section 8, you may have the right to have the lease renewed. The new owner cannot evict you before your lease is up unless you break the rules of your lease, or unless the new owner is planning to move into your apartment. Even then, you still get at least 90 days' notice before you have to move.
What if I am elderly or disabled?
If you are elderly or disabled and live in a building with five or more units, you have additional rights. Under state law, you may not be evicted just because the property was foreclosed. File an Appearance and Answer at the Housing Court and check box #7 on the Answer which states that you are elderly and disabled and live in a building with 5 or more units. Call Statewide Legal Services at 800-453-3320 for possible legal representation.
Is the new owner responsible for repairs and utilities?
- The new owner has the same responsibilities as your old landlord. The new owner must keep the building in good repair. Find out from the new owner or someone who works for the owner who to contact if repairs are needed. You should write to the owner if you need repairs. If the new owner does not make the repairs, call the city or town code inspection department.
- The new owner must provide the same utilities for you that your old landlord provided. If the new owner stops paying for utilities and you get a shutoff notice, contact the utility company right away and tell them you are a tenant. See Legal Aid's article, Energy and Utility Problems with Landlords.
How do I pay the rent?
You should pay rent to the new owner. Do not pay the previous landlord. Find out who the new owner is, and offer the rent even if the new owner doesn't ask for it. Always write on the rent check or money order, "Rent for the month of _______". If you cannot find the owner, or the new owner refuses your rent payment, keep a record showing you tried to pay the rent. Save the rent money in a bank account or other safe place. If the owner later tries to evict you for failure to pay rent, you will have the money to show the court.
How do I get my security deposit back?
The new owner, not your old landlord, is responsible for returning your security deposit. The new owner may tell you that it cannot return your security deposit because it did not get the security deposit from your old landlord. That doesn't matter. Under Connecticut law, whoever owns the building at the time you move out is the one who must return your security deposit. Write a letter demanding the return of your deposit plus interest with your new address and keep a copy for your records. Send one copy regular mail and another copy certified mail return receipt requested. See Legal Aid's article, Security Deposits.

As another round of state legislatures begin to wrap up their 2011 sessions and a flurry of positive action on immigration continues [2] to gain momentum [3], it is becoming increasingly clear that anti-immigrant bills have failed [4] to gain much traction at all in state legislatures across the nation. Even Arizona, which led the anti-immigrant charge by passing the now-infamous SB 1070 last year, is now reconsidering the wisdom of its actions and surveying the resulting destruction of its economy. Arizona's legislature killed numerous additional anti-immigrant proposals earlier this session after a group of sixty CEOs of companies sent a letter [5] to State President Russell Pearce outlining the devastating effect SB 1070 and the resulting boycotts have had on the state, including over 3,000 lost jobs in the tourism industry alone.
In the last week alone, two more states defeated proposals modeled on Arizona's SB 1070, bringing this session's grand total of states defeating copycat bills to twelve. The latest additions to the list are Tennessee and Oklahoma, which both saw their anti-immigrant bills fail in the past week, largely in response to questions and concerns about high implementation costs from legislators and advocates alike.
In Tennessee, State Rep. Joe Carr (R), the prime sponsor of HB 1380, pulled [6] his bill, which sought to grant state law enforcement officers broad authority to stop and apprehend individuals they believe had a "reasonable suspicion" of being undocumented. Carr cited critics' concerns the bill would result in a greater burden on the strained state budget: according to the state budget analysis group, these would include an annual $9 million in additional costs and over $950,000 in unfunded mandates for local governments associated with interrogating and detaining immigrants. This session also included bills to allow municipalities to bar refugees from being resettled in their communities and another proposal to bar undocumented students from enrolling in public school - both proposals were defeated.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma's SB 1070 copycat proposal, HB 1446, was defeated after legislators on both sides of the partisan aisle expressed concerns about its high implementation costs. The state's business and faith leaders [7] also spoke out forcefully against the bill, citing the likelihood it would harm the state's already-struggling economy. Oklahoma also has the dubious distinction of passing a previous broad anti-immigrant bill in 2007 which was subsequently barred by the state courts. The previous law barred undocumented residents from accessing any form of public services (a provision already part of federal immigration law) other than emergency medical care. This exception was, unfortunately, not enough to assuage the fears of the state's undocumented residents, who were afraid that visiting state emergency rooms would result in their deportation. In fact, many immigrant families living in fear avoided accessing emergency medical assistance, resulting in at least one death of a US citizen [8] - a child born to undocumented immigrants who could have sought care for their child's preventable medical condition.
Finally, Georgia, one of only two states to pass an anti-immigrant law earlier this year that closely mirrors Arizona's, is already feeling the heat [9] from business and faith leaders as well as immigrant rights advocates. Farmers and the agricultural industry worry [10] that immigrant workers will shun the state, jeopardizing lucrative cash crops like Vidalia onions, which are a $140 million annual industry in Georgia and depend on the manual labor of immigrant workers, some of them undocumented.
Aries Haygood, a farmer with 500 acres of Vidalia onions, depends on immigrant manual labor and told a reporter he was concerned about the impact of Georgia's anti-immigrant law will have on his workforce:
"Our biggest fear is that because of the way the bill could be structured we won't be able to find enough workers to do the work that we need done in a short amount of time."
Clearly, many other states share these same concerns at a time when when we can ill-afford reckless and harmful economic policy.

City-wide Campaign Becomes National Hep B Model
In this article...
National recognition, high-profile partnerships, in-kind donations and non-stop media buzz have the grassroots Hep B Free San Francisco Campaign looking attractive.
But if the campaign somehow lost momentum and funding dried up, organizers on the volunteer task force say they would still be working to spread the message: Hepatitis B can be eradicated.
"Nobody came into this campaign because of money," said Dr. Samuel So, director of the Asian Liver Center at Stanford University. "A lot of people don't actually do anything unless they're funded. We feel this is the right thing to do for the community and whether we get funded or not, we're going to do it."
The Jade Ribbon campaign started in San Francisco in 2001 with the goal of testing and vaccinating San Francisco residents for hepatitis B. Since then the campaign has morphed into Hep B Free SF, spread in popularity in the Bay Area and across the country and gained national recognition, highlighted by a press conference in October with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health, Dr. Garth Graham. Federal representatives and government officials are now looking to replicate the program in cities with high Asian-American populations.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver and can be passed through bodily fluids via blood transfusions, sexual intercourse or tattoos or acupuncture with unclean equipment.
The virus causes yellowing of the skin, aching muscles and joints, fatigue and loss of appetite. But for people with chronic Hepatitis B, which often doesn't cause symptoms and is transmitted from mother to child, the end result can be liver cancer and death.
The campaign's intention has been to emphasize the positive messages surrounding testing through diverse outlets in order to drive more people to their own doctors for screening, vaccination and monitoring.
And now in the second phase of Hep B Free, organizers are encouraging people to visit a doctor who tests for Hep B and touting a clinician honor roll-to harness doctors' competitive nature -that will advertise a list of doctors who perform the test in major area newspapers.
Tests and subsequent vaccinations create the possibility of curbing the No. 1 health disparity in the Asian-American community.
"We really need to seize on this opportunity to address this health problem, which in the past has never received any attention," said So, a surgeon and self-proclaimed "passionate, evidenced-based advocate," who's found that some health professionals are not aware of what tests to administer for Hepatitis B.
"We have to go back to the ABC's of Hepatitis," he said. "This is a disease we can't assume they know."
The fact that not all clinicians in the Bay Area are aware of the need for Hepatitis B screening has become increasingly apparent to Dr. Lisa Tang, a primary care physician for Kaiser Permanente, who balances more than two thousand patients and has worked with the campaign for the past two years.
"It's not a standard of care with hepatitis B screenings and that's why people are not doing it," Tang said. "The risk to liver cancer is real, but is it on people's radar?"
And although Tang readily admits to moving at frenetic pace, she's determined to tackle the topic of physician awareness as she heads the clinicians outreach committee.
"Personally as an Asian American I find l do have a responsibility to do this and to make this change," Tang said. "Being a physician you change life one at a time, but for me to be able to act as a physician leader and change the behavior of my colleagues and to change how they practice— I think that implication can do so much good for the common good."
However, eradicating the virus from the entire city has taken more than a few partners in the health community.
"A lot of initiatives only work with community health centers but that's not representative of the whole community," So said. "You need everybody involved. We reached across the aisle to all the groups. So in a way it really created the opportunity for city-wide implementation and adoption."
Partnerships include the San Francisco Giants, City College of San Francisco, DAE Advertising, and Office of California Assemblywoman Fiona Ma. About 40 percent of partners are not health care organizations.
The campaign was modeled after a social movement with intentional decentralized collaboration and an approach that would be embraced by Asian cultures, according to Janet Zola, health promotions specialist of Communicable Diseases for the San Francisco Health Department .
"The thing about Hep B is we have everything we need to put this in a box," said Zola, founder of the San Francisco Immunization Coalition. "What we're lacking is public awareness by the general population of why this is important. It was clear we needed everyone involved to take true ownership of this."
With at least five major cities poised to adopt and adapt the Hep B Free campaign, original members in San Francisco are looking toward the challenge of bringing clinicians on board to enact their multifaceted approach.
"We had a much bigger picture from the beginning," said Ted Fang, director of Asian Week Foundation and fellow board member whose expertise resides in diversity issues. "We want the onus to be on the patients and the clinicians."
As billboards, bus ads and radio PSAs remind residents to 'Be a Hero,' Fang continues to see the possibilities of the movement. From the original small dinner of ideas and listening ears in 2007 to use of the Hep B Free logo and adoption by other cities, the goal of making San Francisco the first Hepatitis B-free city is something he sees as obtainable.
"I do see it as a turning point in the history of the Asian-American community," he said, although he is quick to add, "we're not done yet-the great thing about this project is that it has an ending."
While the campaign seems to be "taking on a life of its own" Fang continues to remind people that this is a goal they must all work toward.
"We can eradicate this disease; we will eradicate this disease; someday it will be eradicated," Fang said. "When hepatitis B is eradicated, there will be a book written. And when that book is written it will say it started with the Asian-American community."

36.38" h x 24" w x 24.5"d
Tested and warranted for persons under 300 pounds.
Herman Miller had such success with the Aeron Chair that it adapteed it as a side chair. Aeron accommodates both the sitter and the environment. It adapts naturally to virtually every body, and it's 94 percent recyclable. Even if it's black, it's green.
Imaginative design, fast-forward ergonomics and a look so distinctive that it's probably the only office chair that people can identify by name. Adaptable to all sizes and shapes and all the motions you go through every day while seated, Aeron provides healthy comfort and balanced body support with its innovative suspension and easy-to-use adjustment controls. Work chair, side chair, and stool support all kinds of office work.
The Herman Miller Aeron Side Chair is also known by the following manufacturer Item Number: AE500G
Herman Miller is an industry leader in the integration of cutting edge technology to furniture and other household items to make everyday life more comfortable, convenient, and stylish. Herman Miller stands out at the forefront of such fields as ergonomic technologies, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and customizable furniture items.
In addition to producing some of the most outstanding office furniture in the world, Herman Miller has also taken on the responsibility of manufacturing some of the most celebrated furniture designs by some of the world's most famous designs. These "modern classics" include works by Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson, and Isamu Noguchi. Herman Miller celebrates these famous mid-century designers' works through its extraordinarily precise manufacturing techniques and industry-leading green production processes.
Herman Miller is a global company with operations, sales offices, dealers, and licensees in more than 40 countries in North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, serving customers virtually anywhere in the world. Herman Miller is headquartered in Zeeland, Michigan, while manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., China, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
"I love beauty, and I love the availability of beautiful things and useful things immediately around me." During his lifetime Stumpf- a key figure in Herman Miller's transformation into a research-based, problem-solving innovator- received numerous awards for this work. Most recently, he was named the winner of the 2006 National Design Award in Product Design, an award presented posthumously by the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Stumpf died in 2006.
Don ChadwickChadwick's love for furniture design goes back to his childhood, when his cabinetmaker grandfather taught him how to use the tools of the trade--hand tools that required skill, precision, and patience. Later, unlike the other industrial design students at UCLA in the mid-1950s, he focused on furniture. And after hearing a Charles and Ray Eames lecture there, Chadwick was convinced: Furniture offered designers, even industrial designers, the chance to use materials in new, innovative ways--and to make a "real difference" in people's lives.
"Most industrial designers don't take furniture design seriously," he says. "They're not trained to get into that kind of detail. It's too personal, too much like surgery. And besides, you have to be in love with this kind of work." He attributes at least some of this optimism to the "LA recklessness" he's experienced as a lifelong resident of Southern California. "There's less fear of failure out here, so people are more apt to take risks. It's fertile ground for innovation." For over two decades now, Chadwick has had a partner in recklessness. "Herman Miller isn't afraid to take chances on new ideas. That's why the company's been successful for so long, and that's one reason why it's challenging to work for them."

Then again you might need the distraction!
Then again you might need the distraction!
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
I'm at 14,769 words and so far the Nano word count is always 21 words above MS Word's word count!
How's everyone doing?
Still on 8011. No words added since Day 1. I was afraid this would happen. I have to write some major words tonight or tomorrow before the cycle of "work all day, too buggered to write" starts again!
Gone absolutely bonkers so far tonight, written over 4000 words and brought my total up to over 12000! Let's see if I can add another thousand or so before bed!
I've now written over five thousand words in the last few hours and broached 13000. With a cramp in my shoulder/neck, I think it might be bed time.
I wrote in a notebook in bed last night - which may set me back I bit because I will have to type it, but the plot is still going strong. Hopefully I will have time to go back and flesh out some of the characters and places. I have Monday the 12th off, I hope to devote the day to my writing.
I only use Pages word count. (Or Word if I'm writing on something besides my iPad). misskarne, one of things I've found is that it really helps to force yourself to write every day. Like yesterday I was sure I wouldn't be abel to write much at all as I was tired and completely uninspired. But I sat down around 9:00 pm and just started writing and the words flowed. I've written around 1700 words every day, one day more like 2000 and another more like 1300 but usually 1700+ and it really works.
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
I'm still on target, although last night was really a grind to get to the word count target.
I hope I'll be able to concentrate enough to meet my quota tonight!
I'm averaging 2,000 words per day when I write, but I have missed 2 or three out of 7 days so far. I have a three day weekend coming up - I'll have to make up for lost time. I'm also thinking of adding illustrations. My villain seems to be growing in infamy, I think I am channeling some of my frustrations with my chronically unemployed bro.
I went to a write-in today. Everyone was so young! I wrote a lot though. So maybe I'll do another one.
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
I'm mildly terrified by how chronologically far my story has progressed in so few words. Luckily, two very major substory romances are coming up and those should take ages...
I'm the opposite. I'm at 15000+ plus words but I'm only up to High School and I still have some major fleshing out to do. I've got 40 more years to cover including what was supposed to be the meat of the book!

This has turned out differently than I thought. I am actually doing well with plot. My brain seems to be working through all the holes and obstacles, but my novel right now is a lot of straight narrative. I'm hoping mid-month I can have the basic narrative done and then go back and organize it into chapters and flesh out the characters and the settings with conversation or actions rather than simply stating so and so is "tall, dark, and handsome". I am thinking of stuff as I go along but I'm not going to go back to add it until I am finished with the plot narrative.
Before I started this I tried to do an organized outline with plot characters and chapters and I couldn't get anywhere. The story and characters seem to grow as I write it. At this point I'm not sure what the ending will be. I'm not sure I will get it all done by Nov. 30, but having a deadline motivates me to keep at it and I seem to be working better under the pressure of a deadline.
I'm such a doofus. I did some writing this afternoon and plugged my novel into the validator on the NaNoWriMo site and was completely that I'd written well over 22,000 words. I felt inspired this afternoon, but I didn't think I'd been that inspired.
And then I realized that I'd accidentally copied my novel into the field twice. D'oh.
As I feared, I got about 500 words into the day's allotment on Tuesday and then gave up so I could refresh election sites over and over, but at least I got some writing done anyhow. I've caught up the last couple of days and am only a few hundred words shy of where I should be at this point.
And two of my characters got into an unexpected fight today. I'm not a very fighty person in real life, so that was fun to write.
Oh my I have been having some crazy dreams since I started this project (they have nothing to do with my novel). Last night I dreamed about an animal that had the body of a shetland collie, the head of a cat and the snout of a coyote. It was roaming around a college campus cuddling up to people,s dogs and chasing down and eating their cats. ??? I haven't had time for movies, tv, or books since I started this, so I don't know where it came from!
Probably your creativity on overdrive?
Yes. That is why I wanted to do this. I was feeling really dried up. Just coming up with a witty comment to put on a birthday card had become beyond my capabilities.
I'm past 25,000 words - halfway!
I'm still lurking down around 15,500. I got majorly bogged down with work and then this part of the side-story offering no inspiration. It's kind of an important side-story (MC1's first love), but I just can't for the life of me get it flowing. So I'm skipping the boggy part and going straight to the more important bit. Hope it works.

RIO DE JANEIRO — Frenzied crowds of Roman Catholics mobbed the car carrying Pope Francis on Monday when he returned to his home continent for the first time as pontiff, embarking on a seven-day visit meant to fan the fervor of the faithful.
During his first minutes in Brazil, ecstatic believers swarmed around the closed Fiat several times when it was forced to stop by heavy traffic on the drive from the airport to an official ceremony in Rio's center. A few security guards struggled mightily to push the crowd back in scenes that at times looked alarming. Church and city officials said the pope's driver turned into the wrong part of a boulevard and missed lanes that had been cleared.
Francis looked calm during the frenzy. He rolled down the window on the back passenger-side of the car where he was sitting, waving to the crowd and touching those who reached inside. At one point, a woman handed the pontiff a dark-haired baby, whom he kissed before handing it back.
After finally making it past crowds and blocked traffic, Francis switched to an open-air popemobile as he toured around the main streets in downtown Rio through mobs of people. Many in the crowd looked stunned, with some standing still and others sobbing loudly.
Anti-government protesters clashed with police outside a welcoming ceremony for Francis, but the anger was directed at Brazilian leaders and not the pontiff.
A Vatican official also said that authorities had found a small, homemade bomb near a church the pope plans to visit Wednesday but that it didn't appear connected to the pontiff's visit.

Though he has legal representation at his side, former Jeffersonville High School Principal James Sexton said he doesn't plan to bring any litigation against Greater Clark County Schools yet after he was reassigned from his job Thursday.
He said though he's been reassigned to Clark County Middle/High School, the decision still needs approval from Greater Clark's board of trustees at a Nov. 7 meeting.
Clay Culotta, Sexton's attorney, said he doesn't know what to expect in the weeks to come, but said he came into the situation because Sexton wanted to cover his bases.
"I got involved because when Mr. Sexton was placed on administrative leave and not knowing what was going on and so forth, he really just sort of contacted me out of an abundance of caution," Culotta said. "He's not a man that just leaves things to chance and therefore, he simply wanted to ask questions and have someone he could talk to."
But at least one board member is not pleased with the decision made by Greater Clark Superintendent Andrew Melin.
Becka Christensen, a Greater Clark board member campaigning for re-election, said she was not informed about the reassignment before community members were asking her about it.
"I had no idea that was coming before the texts came to me and the release was sent to media," Christensen said. "And I [wasn't invited to] talk to the superintendent until 4 p.m. [Friday] to hear what the whole community already knew. I am less than pleased with our superintendent. What has been left out in the community is innuendo, suspicion, and we did not clear a staff member's [Sexton's] name."
She said she's not sure other board members weren't informed about the decision before it became public, and not getting the information from Melin was "unacceptable and unprofessional."
But she also said she's not sure how Melin could come to a decision about the leadership philosophies of a principal so quickly.
"I'm absolutely dumbfounded that the superintendent has arrived at this position in such a short time with Greater Clark," Christensen said. "The squeaky wheel may get the grease, but the majority of the people I have come into contact with have supported the changes made at Jeff High since Mr. Sexton arrived there."
Melin said some issues were brought to his attention, though he did not say what they were or who alerted him, that spurred the investigation and administrative leave of Sexton. He said he had an obligation to review those concerns.
"I think the key factor, as I said, in my role, when things come to my attention, it is my responsibility to investigate those situations and try to honor the privacy rights of those individuals as best I can," Melin said. "I did my best effort not only to respect those privacy rights, but also conduct a thorough investigation of the issues brought to my attention."
A call to school board President Christina Gilkey on Friday was not returned as of press time.
Sexton said he didn't have anything to say other than to wish the football team luck on their game Friday night.
"I'm hoping that the Red Devils win tonight against Evansville North," Sexton said. "The only thing I need to say is 'Go, Devils.'"

A $7.7 million building and renovation project in 1996 paved the way for what Griswold Middle School is today: A…More nationally recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
Currently, more than 600 students attend the school and are involved in an academic program that includes courses in English, social studies, mathematics, science, foreign language, music, art, physical education, health, family and consumer science, technology education, and media and developmental guidance. Musical electives, such as band, jazz band, chorus and string programs, are also offered.
Its awards and recognitions include being named a "Middle School of the Year" in 1997 by The Connecticut Association of Schools. In 2000, the school was named a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. In 2002 it was picked as a "Spotlight School" by the New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS). In December 2007, 2008 and 2009, the school was again named a "Spotlight School," and in the 2008-09 school year it was also recognized by the Connecticut Association of Schools for outstanding "Teaming Practices."

Beyonce and Jay-Z are known for frequenting trendy New York burger joints Shake Shack and Pop Burger, so we wouldn't be surprised if they pulled up in front of DMK Burger Bar in a stretch SUV. Supposed new vegetarian Jigga would digga the No. 12 (Portobello stuffed with Muenster, Arugula and marinated tomatoes); while Sasha Fierce would indulge in a No. 9 (organic turkey burger paired with blue cheese cole slaw).
Jay-Z and his wife, Beyonce, will compete in three categories at the 2010 BET Awards.
They're both nominated for video of the year, best collaboration and viewers' choice. Jay-Z received two nominations in the video of the year category, which includes newcomers B.o.B and Melanie Fiona.
Jay-Z is the top contender with five nominations; he's also up for best male hip-hop artist. Beyonce, Fiona and Alicia Keys, who follow with four nods each, are all up for best R&B female artist. R&B crooner Trey Songz also received four nominations.
Other multiple nominees include Rihanna, Maxwell, Drake and Fabolous.
Queen Latifah will host the awards show, which airs live on June 27 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Automatic 401(k)s Aid Retirement Readiness
Study shows that new account rules are making a big contribution to financial preparedness.
People are more prepared for retirement than they were seven years ago, according to a recent study by the Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI), one of the major think tanks in the retirement space. EBRI compared its 2010 Retirement Readiness Rating with a similar rating it did in 2003. While anywhere from 43 to 47 percent of adults aged 36 to 62 are at risk of not having enough money for retirement, the comparable percentages in 2003 ranged from nearly 55 to 59 percent. The main cause of the improvement, EBRI said, was the 2006 Pension Protection Act, which requires the automatic enrollment of employees in 401(k) plans unless they opt out of the programs.
[ See America's Best Affordable Places to Retire.] The benefits of the law extend to the emergence of target date funds as the primary default investment choice for 401(k) plans. These funds are geared to the planned retirement date of employees, and automatically shift assets into increasingly conservative investments over time. They also provide automatic rebalancing of portfolios, which is a fundamental recommendation from investment experts but one that is often not followed when investors have to do the rebalancing themselves. While the funds were criticized for losing a lot of money in the 2008-09 market downturn, subsequent studies have shown that they lost less money than many other investments and have performed well since then.
Underneath the improvement, the EBRI study noted, Americans remain poorly prepared for retirement. Only a bare majority of people even have a 50-50 chance of having enough money in retirement. And "enough" is defined as a very modest level of household spending and money to pay for uninsured medical expenses. EBRI provided other snapshots of the data that found much less preparedness for people who wanted higher odds they would have enough money. For example, among people in the top quarter of all income earners, nearly 20 percent don't have enough set aside to assure a 100 percent chance of an adequate retirement. For the lowest-income quarter, more than 75 percent fail to have such complete assurance.
[See 10 Essentials for Successful Retirements.]
EBRI also looked at when people would run short of money:
-- After 10 years of retirement, 41 percent of those in the lowest (preretirement) income quartile are assumed to have run short of money, but only 23 percent of the next-lowest quartile, 13 percent of the third quartile, and less than 5 percent of the highest-income quartile.
-- After 20 years of retirement, the numbers are 57 percent of those in the lowest-income quartile, 44 percent of the next-lowest quartile, 29 percent of the third quartile, and 13 percent of the highest-income quartile.
The study also calculated how much more money people would have to set aside to achieve varying likelihoods of having sufficient retirement incomes.
"If additional savings were to be provided at levels high enough for 3 of 4 households . . . to have a 50/50 chance of retirement income adequacy," the study said, "the lowest-income quartiles of both the Early and Late Boomers would need to save more than 25 percent of compensation per year. The lowest-income quartile for 'Gen Xers' would require less (17 percent), but this is still an amount that would be extremely difficult for most households to save."
The EBRI study was based on extensive information on the status and performance of all major sources of retirement income, including 401(k)s, IRAs, private pensions, and Social Security. It said its projections assumed that stocks would return 8.9 percent a year and bonds 6.3 percent. Using lower returns -- 4.45 percent for stocks and 3.8 percent for bonds -- adds between 6 and 9 points to the percentages of people who are not prepared for retirement.

OK, so maybe the city isn't all bad...
Last year we moved back into a major city. I wasn't looking forward to it, but it hasn't been all bad. For one it's easier to get parts and services and I found a great mechanic.
The other reason I discovered this weekend. Self serve salvage yards still exist!
I had thought real estate prices and lawyers had killed them off but this city has two of them!
Me and the wife* went to one Saturday and I got $300 worth of parts for $27!
So now I can get my truck all fixed up perfect and use it to leave the city on weekends. ;')
*Yeah, she's that awesome. ;')

Ben & Jerry's back GMO billJanuary 28,2013Ben & Jerry's
back GMO bill
MONTPELIER — Vermont-based ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's has come out in support of state legislation requiring labeling of products containing genetically modified organisms, and says it will stop using such products by the end of this year.
The company, a subsidiary of international food conglomerate Unilever, said 26 of its ice cream flavors — ranging from Cherry Garcia to Mint Chocolate Cookie — already come without GMOs.
The company's stance is winning praise from groups supporting GMO labeling, including Rural Vermont and the Vermont Public Interest Research Group.
Legislation to require labeling of products with GMOs failed to win passage last year, but backers are trying again this year.
McKibben to speak
at Statehouse
MONTPELIER — Environmental activist Bill McKibben will speak to the Vermont Legislature about climate change and how it relates to the state.
House Speaker Shap Smith said Friday he's invited McKibben to speak Wednesday afternoon.
Vermont Public Radio said McKibben's been supporting a campaign to get resolutions on town meeting day ballots that oppose the shipment of tar-sands oil across northeastern sections of the state.
Smith's office said it prioritizes climate change as one of the most important challenges facing the state.
Hearing set on death with dignity
MONTPELIER — A big crowd is expected at a public hearing this week at the Vermont Statehouse on legislation that would allow physicians to prescribe a lethal dose of medications to terminally ill patients who wish to take their own lives.
It's an issue that has come up repeatedly in recent years. Backers say the current makeup of the Legislature and support from Gov. Peter Shumlin give what's variously called death with dignity and physician-assisted suicide the best chance it's had yet of passing this year.
Four legislative committees will be on hand in the main House chamber to take testimony from the public from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

The Immigration program of the Government of Canada administers entry into Canada by immigrants and non-immigrants, and assists in the settlement of immigrants in Canada.
Responsibility for immigration in the federal government has resided in several different departments since Confederation. From 1868 to 1892, Canadian immigration services were the responsibility of the Department of Agriculture. In 1892, these services were transferred to the Department of Interior, and became known as the Immigration Branch of that Department. An independent Department of Immigration and Colonization was established in 1917, which took over the work previously undertaken by the Department of the Interior. Immigration was reduced to Branch status again in 1936, however, under the newly-formed Department of Mines and Resources. Yet another reorganization occurred in 1950, with the creation of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration. This Department was given the responsibility for such disparate programs as Immigration, Indian Affairs, Citizenship Registration, and a number of federal cultural agencies. At that time, Immigration services remained at the Branch level.
In 1966 the growing relationship between employment and immigration policy was formally recognized with the creation of the Department of Manpower and Immigration. At that time the Immigration Branch was moved from the Department of Citizenship and Immigration to the newly-formed Department, and retained Branch status.
Yet another reorganization of the immigration responsibility occurred in 1977 with the creation of the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission and Department. Federal government immigration, employment, and unemployment insurance programs were united under these institutions, known collectively as Employment and Immigration Canada (EIC). At that time, EIC was responsible for immigration matters including the admission to Canada of visitors, permanent residents and refugees. It also assisted permanent residents and refugees to settle in Canada.
The most recent change with respect to immigration functions occurred in 1992-93 with the creation of the Department of Citizenship and Immigration, ratified under the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Act of 1994 (42-43 Elizabeth II, C. 31). This new Department is currently responsible for the federal government's immigration program. For additional information concerning immigration records, please consult the administrative histories for the Department of Citizenship and Immigration Fonds, the Immigration Appeal Board Fonds, the Immigration and Refugee Board Fonds, and the Immigration Branch Sous-Fonds.
