A clutch unlock is frequently your only prospect to brand a marvellous prototypical dent.
Newspapers, magazines and job publications get them by the truckload. That way sloppy, inaccurate, unpointed releases are the original to hit the staff wastebasket. To trade name confident yours isn't one of them, sidestep these 7 Deadly Sins:
1. Providing too little or inappropriate hearsay on your clutch releases, especially headset book. Releases essential be complete, exact and limited. (Note: A communication unchain is the aforesaid as a constrict discharge.)Post ads:
illegal to record phone conversation / caught cheating on my boyfriend / record telephone conversation my blackberry / bluetooth-spy for windows mobile / spy key camera / cheating wife emails / record keystrokes free macro / woman sells cheating boyfriends stuff ebay / cost surveillance equipment / spy call software for nokia mobile / cheat de swat 4 / cheating is way of life in moscow / nokia mobile phones dual sim with touch screen / recording phone conversation windows mobile / how to catch if your husband is cheating on you / is my girlfriend cheating on me online / def jam records greatest hits
2. Writing too extensive. They should be no longest than a leaf.
3. Sending it too postponed. Mail or fax it to local media at most minuscule two weeks earlier an event, sooner cardinal or cardinal. Major magazines work iv to six months in the lead of juncture.
4. Sending a rescue near no word meaning. News is what happens that is contrasting. If it isn't different, it isn't word.Post ads:
best tape recorder spying / cell phone taped to head / free sound recorder for mobile / my cell phone records / www.mobile spy 4.1 / how to spy at night / call recorder software download / espiar conversaciones whatsapp / surveillance voice procedure / surveillance audio log 3 / wireless spy camera with remote / cheating on husband bipolar / how to find out if he is cheating / 9 ways to tell if your spouse is cheating / network mobile election monitors / voice star mobile phone recorder manual / programas espia pc gratis
5. Blatant commerce. Avoid commonplace voice communication and phrases specified as spectacular, incredible, the singular one of its kind, breakthrough, cutting-edge, unparalleled and state-of-the-art.
6. Omitting a interaction signature and phone numeral. At the top of the premier folio in the moved out corner, let editors know who they can ring up if they have questions. Include day, day and cell phone booth book.
7. Calling after you send away a wares and interrogative questions look-alike "Did you get my news release?" or "Do you cognise when it will be printed?" Don't hunt up beside a handset appointment to see if the media got your release, unless you are without doubt convinced that soul will watch for you. Most reporters and editors don't have instance. If you do hunt up, create positive you have a rationale to phone. Suggest a fastidious space to your story, or ask the media ethnic group if they involve any separate facts.

The pond of the witness
Walking in the night
Dusk has engulfed the metropolis. The young mother is wearing a silk blue turquoise and green punjabi that shines softly in the lights of the stores. She carries in her arms her child, sleeping under a blanket. She walks slowly, her head upright, exuding a calm pride of which she is not conscious.
She is holding the most precious burden in the entire world and, under her long eyelashes, her gaze comes from far away, watching in a detached mood the constant agitation of the city. The noises of the street don't reach her. The gait of a mother brings to the world a priceless nobility and it is this that shall save this world.

Author Bio
In the real world, Siân lives with her rascally, but totally adorable Springer Spaniel, Toby, in a quiet cottage between the windy Cornish moors and the wild Celtic Sea. Most of the time however, they are joined by Siân'sreal world counterpart, Jan Hawke, and her elven muse, Janowyn, in a rich and baffling fantasy life, which is probably best left undescribed, in case any men in white coats are lurking about…
Currently, the trinity are slaving away on an epic future fantasy series, loosely based on the ancient Celtic world myths. The first volume should reach the shelves some time in 2018.
On the 31st October 2017, the adapted version of Befouled by Siân Glírdan will be published in paperback (the eBook version is already on sale). Befouled started out as enhanced fan fiction dealing with a subject that Tolkien never addressed in his multi-layered, published or unpublished writings of the world of Arda – the genesis of the Orcs.
Much has been adapted in this re-spinning of a racial origin myth, to explore the nature of creation and abomination, to form a dark, adult fantasy exploring territory seldom trodden in the fantasy genres and where no subject or act, however horrific or profane, is taboo.
You have been warned…

The secondary items will usually be mugs, notebooks, audiobooks, bookie books or similar for which you would expect to pay at least £5.

Aged just 19, James Elliot is forced to shoulder the burden of the title, and all it carries with it.
Elinor Montague has been in love with James since they were both children. She helped him as he mourned his father and grandfather, and if he occasionally acted a little strangely, she was prepared to ignore it. After a few glasses of champagne at a masked ball, things heat up between Ellie and James, and she's convinced it's love. He, on the other hand, runs off to Europe the following day and doesn't come back for two years.
When James tries to woo the newly wealthy Ellie on his return, a string of strange accidents begin to befall them both. While she tries to remain aloof, Ellie finds herself drawn to James once more, but refuses to give in until she finds out what he's hiding– and solves the mystery of the shadow that has hung over his life.

I played both Seiken Densetsu 3 and Tales of Phantasia for the SNES and I think both are cool in their own way. While Seiken Densetsu was more of a top-down battle system, Tales had a side-scroller type system. In both games you can only control the hero, and the rest of the party are controlled by AI (although I heard that in Seiken Densetsu 3, another player can play the second character that is chosen with a joypad)...I picked up one a few days ago - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance for the GBA. It's a turn-based strategy RPG - the problem is, that the battle system's somewhat slow. Otherwise the plot is quite interesting.

I've been very lucky as a cartoonist in the era of the internet. I've been able to work from almost anywhere. Because of my UK-Kiwi citizenship, I've also been able to live in a lot of places. So I've lived and worked in the UK, New Zealand and Australia.
But I always wanted to live somewhere where they didn't speak English, where I could learn the language. I am rubbish at languages and hated trying to learn French and German in school. But Spanish is more logical. The way it is written is the way it is pronounced, once you learn the basic rules (unlike English: pare, pear, pair!!!). If I was going to be able to learn any language, it was going to be Spanish. I also wanted to live fairly near my family in the UK for a while. So Spain was the obvious destination.

The prime time marketing theme received some updates this past Friday and there are a few steps you need to take as a site administrator to take advantage of the changes. Things that were fixed:
- Fixed javascript error that was keeping the rest of the bootstrap elements from functioning.
- Improve portlet support for the right column on inside pages.
- Fix calendar and form folder views.
- The spotlight portlet is no longer hard coded - you must add it to your homepage as a static text portlet named "spotlight".
In order to complete the update process you'll need to go into your Site Setup > Diazo Control Panel and just click save on the profile. This will load the new manifest and complete the upgrade.

Inside HDBaseT Technology: A Better HDMI Extender
HDBaseT delivers 4K x 2K video, audio, control, Ethernet and up to 100 watts of power over a single Cat 5 cable up to 100 meters ... without degrading the signal. How'd they do that?
If it is implemented on a large scale, HDBaseT could be an exciting development in whole-house multimedia distribution—enabling video resolutions (4k x 2K), distances (100+ meters) and extra features (100 watts of power) that we've never seen over a single Cat 5 cable.
The technology originally was developed by Valens Semiconductor and marketed under the 5Play brand. Now the official HDBaseT 1.0 spec has been ratified by the six-month-old HDBaseT Alliance formed by Valens, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Contrary to overzealous reports, HDBaseT is not a replacement for HDMI—and will not be a replacement anytime soon.
In fact, the technology is simply an enhancement to HDMI. It still requires an HDMI chipset at both the transmitting (source) and receiving (display) ends – just like any other HDMI-over-Cat 5 solution.
In any case, "We're not trying to be an HDMI extender," says Micha Risling, VP of sales and marketing for Valens Semiconductor and spokesperson for the HDBaseT Alliance. "It's only one segment that we're after simply because we can. But we're trying to introduce much, much more than that."
In the HDBaseT universe, video, audio and related data signals are processed by the HDMI chip as usual, and HDBaseT takes it from there.
FIGURE A: The Valens VS100 System Functional Diagram
Building a Better HDMI Extender
Most of today's better HDMI extenders utilize two runs of Cat 5 or Cat 6 twisted-pair cables.
Typically, one cable is reserved for TMDS, transmitting video, audio and associated timing clock signals. The other carries the handshaking signals (with customized electronics for maintaining signal integrity) and low-current power for driving the HDMI electronics at the receiver.
HDBaseT: The Whole Picture
I. HDBaseT Cat 5 Technology is Useful, but No 'HDMI Killer'
II. Inside HDBaseT Technology: A Better HDMI Extender
III. Is HDBaseT a Game Changer? (coming soon)
More vendors now are going the one-wire route, using proprietary schemes to push the audio, video, control and power over the cable without compromising performance … much.
In both cases, the cables are susceptible to the same electromagnetic interference that plagues any transmission of high-frequency signals over long wire runs.
To mitigate EMI, HDBaseT transmits lower-frequency modulated signals across the cable using Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) – the same technology used for coding Ethernet signals onto twisted pair cabling.
With this method, digital data is represented as a coding scheme using different levels of DC voltage at fairly high rates (in the order of 125 mega pulses per second or more for Ethernet). While 100BaseT Ethernet uses 5 Level PAM (PAM-5), HDBaseT uses a proprietary version that is slightly different. Some of the newer high-speed Ethernet coding schemes, like 802.an (10GBaseT), use 16 Level PAM.
In the case of HDBaseT, PAM is used to "modulate" all of the HDMI and control signals onto each set of twisted pair wires. The magic is in the proprietary coding scheme used to get all of that data onto the wire bundle, allowing content to be sent across a single Cat cable without being degraded by the electrical characteristics of the wire.
It is important thing to note that, while HDBaseT uses the same coding technology as Ethernet and does have an Ethernet channel, it is not Ethernet based. It does not use Internet Protocols (IP) either. It just happens to use the same type of twisted pair cable that most associate with Ethernet.
Translating HDMI to HDBaseT
To really understand what HDBaseT is all about, it is useful to take a look at the chipsets themselves.
Valens currently is the only provider of HDBaseT chips – the VS100TX transmitter and the VS100RX receiver.
FIGURE B: Valens VS100TX Transmitter High-Level Block Diagram
FIGURE C: Valens VS100RX Receiver High-Level Block Diagram
The pins of interest initially are the TMDS lines that interconnect directly with the TMDS lines on the associated HDMI transmitter or receiver chip.
Although we'll refer to the designators from the transmitter (VS100TX in Fig. B) for this example, the concepts are the same for the receiver as well.

Halloween on a Budget
You can still have a great time trick or treating with the kiddies and have a little party all on a budget. Every year we throw a little party for the kids in the neighborhood and have an awesome good time, but it can be a little costly with the decor and foods. This year I am doing things a little differently, we are making our ow decorations as opposed to buying them and making our treat and goodies from home. We can make our own halloween scary cookies with the cut outs and make some awesome scary spooky cupcakes. I am still planning my menu as I type this so there is more to come on how I pull off my halloween on a budget.

As Halloween comes to an end the Japanese starts Christmas early. As early as yesterday many stores were filled with fifteen meter tall Christmas trees, decorated with shining Christmas balls in different colors and decorative snowflakes on every twig. If you want to start your Christmas just a bit earlier than you maybe would were you currently are, go to Japan!

Mixed and Mastered here, Red Dons new Auslander 7″ reviewed by I Buy Way too Many Records.
"Dirtnap (2012)
The fine folks over at Dirtnap sure do have some good taste in music. It seems like whenever I find a band that I really like, they're now putting out a record on Dirtnap too. Good work. Red Dons are a band I've been listening to since their last album, Fake Meets Failure and I've been mightily impressed.
This 7″ is another example of the bands downstroke heavy Wipers/Hot Snakes style of punk rock and roll. I would say that this 7″ might be a bit poppier than some of the bands prior work, but in this case, that's great news. This 7″ may be the best thing the band has released to date and considering the strength of their back catalog, that's no small feat. Hopefully the band will be getting a new full length together soon as this 7″ has really made me excited to see where the band goes next."

Right, an update post before I lose internet connectivity before the journey back, but its coming to the end of a great 4 days at Dev8D, where I have picked up a lot of new information on what people are doing and introduction to new technologies.
As well as getting a bit of hands on with Ruby on Rails for the first time, playing around with Python and Google aps , finding out about exciting technologies such as LTI and hearing from people from the Internet Archives – one of my favourite parts overall was actually something completely separated from software development…
For the first time I was introduced to something called the Arduino, which is a small piece of hardware which allows you to mess around with electronics and program onto a small processor on the board (With only about 16k of memory – sounds familiar… 🙂 ). Really captured my imagination, and to the point where i'll be buying a board to have a mess around with in my own free time as something that breaks away completely from what I do in my day to day job and will hopefully change how I view and think about programming software wise.
Socially it was great to meet people from other institutions and backgrounds to see what they have been getting up to and share a series of ideas. I offered expertise in Drupal and working on a large archiving project and chatted to a few people about the experiences we had and the issues we had.
The only real difficulty was to try and produce for the competitions, combined with trying to attend workshops and lightening talks and weak wifi on my machine. Luckily two of our guys have managed to enter one by quickly getting List8D into Moodle using LTI, so hopefully they have a good chance of winning. However even with the hurdles of loads going on, I managed to begin prototyping on paper a potential Moodle chat application after doing some brainstorming with Steve Coppin and came up with an idea with inspiration from Twitter and some of its ideas. Although our institution is quite loaded up on projects at the moment, its all initial thoughts and grounding for a potential tag based chat app in the future (Which in theory could use LTI to combine easily into other apps).
I've probably also gained a bit of weight after sampling some really awesome food over the past 4 days too. Back to lunchtime football on Monday which i'm sure will be a bit more of a struggle than usual 🙂

Kristen Stewart will entertain your questions and curiosity about her personal life, sexuality, etc. but she won't speak on the subjects directly. In a new interview with Nylon magazine Stewart, who frequently and delightfully peppers her speech with F-bombs, addresses her sexuality thusly:
"I am an actress, man. I live in the f***ing ambiguity of this life and I love it," she says. "I don't feel like it would be true for me to be like, 'I'm coming out!' No, I do a job. Until I decide that I'm starting a foundation or that I have some perspective or opinion that other people should be receiving … I don't. I'm just a kid making movies."
RELATED: Watch Jimmy Fallon make Kristen Stewart play 'Ring Around the Nosey'
Stewart, whose latest movie is the action-comedy "American Ultra" which places her opposite Jesse Eisenberg, went on to express hope for a media-centric future that allows her to just be herself and an actress instead of the focus being on her sexuality.
"I think in three or four years, there are going to be a whole lot more people who don't think it's necessary to figure out if you're gay or straight," she said. "It's like, just do your thing."

Two chickens did not want to eat. I put them into a basket because I am afraid of they pass the sickness to other chickens and that way I can keep eyes on them. However, I did not know they would go at the end of the day. I do not know what reason. However, they look like sleeping...Sad
It is a nice day. I let my baby chick going out to play under the sun. I saw one Buff Orphington looks very dirty so I cleaned her with warm water. I thought it is a nice day she will be dry up quickly and would be fine. She was fine after that. However, the next day I found one chick dead. I am sure it is the one took the bath on the last day...big mistake! I am crying for my baby chick...
Lost another one with no reason! Sad.
Today is the second day I put my chicken in the front deck. Everything was fine the chicken was happy to enjoy the bigger room and more food. However, I found there was one chicken missing after I got home. None took the chick. The cage was cover and fully closed. I have no idea who and how one chicken could miss. I am so sad...and now I only have 20 chickens. Where are you hiding my little baby?
Finally, I find my missing baby chick. She was under the water feed...already dead. Sad feeling I lost my forth chick.

Cliff-jump victim was skateboard guru for kids
Aug 21 2012
Children in Tofino are bringing flowers to the home of Jamie Collins, a 33-year-old skateboarder who died while jumping off a cliff into the Kennedy River.
The Tofino resident was well-known for teaching Tofino-area kids skateboarding skills. He and his best friend of 20 years, Brandon Wells, used to run skateboard camps through the parks and recreation department in Port Alberni, where he grew up.
"He was extremely good with children. He could just relate to kids. He helped a lot of young people get into skateboarding," said his mother, Ann Collins, from the family's farm in Port Alberni.
Jamie Collins was with three friends Friday when he climbed onto a cliff about 20 metres above the river. His friends heard a splash and noticed he was unconscious, but couldn't find him when they searched the river. His body was recovered the following day.
Collins and Wells had started their own skateboard company, Instrumental Skateboards, in 2007, a year after they started spray-painting boards for children. The company now sells boards across the Island and in Vancouver.
The company's artist, Russ Morland, has designed and painted a skateboard in Collins' honour with a dinosaur design. "Anyone who knows Jamie knows he was obsessed with dinosaurs," Wells said with a laugh.
Family and friends have been gathering at the farm where Collins grew up with his brother Don, 35, and sister Laura, 28.
His mom said Collins strived to shed a positive light on skateboarding and treated it like a sport.
"Jamie was so fun-loving. Every day was an adventure for him - he just loved life," she said.
Collins, who lived and worked in Tofino with his girlfriend of six years, Isla Thomas, owned a construction company with Don. In every house they built together, Collins would place a fresh Instrumental skateboard in the walls.
When Collins was about 17, he moved to California to take a shot at making it as a pro skater, Wells said. He was starting to meet the right people when his father, Bob Collins, got hurt at the farm.
"Jamie packed up his car with no hesitation" and came home. "He was never sad about it," Wells said.
"He was always there when you needed him."

During a recent job interview, the topic of Agile vs. Waterfall was brought up. Specifically, I discussed a job I did for a government agency, where it was mandated that a waterfall approach should be used. I was asked a basic question, "Would agile have made more sense?" I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here. In this case, of course, the methodology was mandated by the client, but let's set that aside for the purpose of this discussion.
First, some background on the project. The agency had an old database running on a PowerPC Macintosh using a pre-OSX version. I think it was Macintosh OS 9. The program was created in 1999, and 12 years later it was still chugging along. It had several major issues, though:
- The version of 4th Dimension was old, running on old server hardware.
- It was slow
- It was hard to find programmers to fix issues or update the program
- User access required the use of client software installed on PCs.
The agency had tried to launch a new program with new features, to replace the existing software. That project failed. When the company I worked for was brought in, the scope had been scaled back. Instead of adding new features, and migrating over the old data, the new scope called for 100% feature duplication of the old system, but built on a .NET/SQL framework. A possible "Phase 2" would build on that foundation and add new features.
One quirk of the existing system was that there were many areas where a report or input screen existed, but nobody currently at the agency knew why it was there, or what it was used for. The contract called for 100% duplication, though, so time was spent duplicating the reports and fields that were probably no longer used.
There are a couple reasons a waterfall approach made sense for this project.
- Defined scope: Project success was measured in how faithfully the new program reproduced the functionality of the old program. While some allowances were made since we transitioned to a web interface, we knew exactly which screens and reports were needed, and what fields showed up on each.
- Change approval: The process to gather approval for wireframes and designs was somewhat involved, and required sign-off by several people. As such, the designs, once approved, were unlikely to change. And approval for changes took a long time to work through the chain of command. From the start, it was agreed that changes would be kept to a bare minimum for the initial work.
- Training time: The program was used by many people in the agency. As such, group training was organized for several periods after the project was completed. Having the project 100% completed by a specific date allowed the users to be trained on the full system, with no changes happening afterwards.
Using Agile, however, there would have been a few benefits over the more traditional Waterfall method.
- Delivery time: As mentioned above, there were many reports and some input screens that were no longer used. Using agile methodology, those reports and screens could have been added to the product backlog, and been completed during a later iteration, after the product had launched. This might have required additional user training, but in our surveys we found literally zero users of the system ever used some of the reports.
- Earlier User Feedback: When the final product was launched, that was the first a lot of people ever saw it. While we tried to incorporate the heaviest users of the system into our testing and client feedback, we did not capture everyone's views. Having feedback from the larger group earlier would have changed a couple design decisions, instead of having to retrofit them into proposed Phase 2 updates.
I think the main benefit of using Agile methodology would have been the ability to launch the site faster, with the core set of reports. Then adding on the less used (or never used) reports during a later sprint. Or being able to talk the client out of including those reports and using the development time for something more beneficial. That was probably not in the cards, but hope springs eternal!
I am 700 words into this post, and have not given my thought on the best way to go for this project. With hindsight being 20/20, I am comfortable saying the approach used was probably the best for the project. Besides the fact that it was mandated in the contract, the client had a level of comfort with Waterfall, and understood the steps involved from start to finish. Agile would have been outside their comfort zone, and that can sometimes cause issues later on, if you hit any bumps. And in this case, while a faster delivery of the core functionality would have been nice, it was not critical enough to try and change their mind or the contract.

Saturday, April 16th @ Westlake Park
3:00 PM Community Meal
3:30 PM Rally
4:00 PM Ride the Rail!
** UPDATE ** Metro and Sound Transit have announced their short-term fix! They have also provided us with light rail day passes for our event on Saturday. Join us at Westlake to celebrate!
Thousands of riders in King County rely on bus tickets from social service agencies. But, these tickets aren't accepted on Link Light Rail. Especially since the March 26th bus service restructure, these riders are being left with a second-class transit system.
In 2015 the ORCA LIFT program that TRU and others championed brought welcome relief from high fares for low-income riders who can afford $1.50 per ride, or $54 for a monthly pass. But for riders with very low or no income, this is still unaffordable. And it's these people who are most reliant on public transit – to get to work and job interviews, to school, to medical appointments, and to access basic necessities like shelter and food.
In January, the Transit Riders Union and the Our City Coalition called upon Sound Transit and Metro to find a solution that doesn't create a two-tier transit system and is affordable for all. Join us on April 16th for a community meal, rally and direct action to turn up the ????HEAT!????
UPDATE: Since we announced this action, Metro and Sound Transit have responded to say that they are working on a solution. Depending on what has been accomplished by April 16th, our Action may become a Celebration… come find out!

#new car loans
Is Buying a New Car For Zero Percent Interest Loan a Good Idea?
by Joe Plemon on August 2, 2012
My friend Larry recently asked me a good question that led to a challenging question: "Joe, isn't it true that everyone needs to be putting aside money every month for a car fund?"
Joe, "Well, yes. Although some may be wealthy enough to have a nest egg generating vehicle purchase money, the vast majority of us need to be constantly saving for our next car purchase."
Larry, "I know you are big about saving for car purchases. But I have been able to get a zero percent loan on the last couple of new cars I bought, so what is the difference in borrowing at zero percent and saving up to pay cash?" (That was the challenging question)
I admit that Larry caught me off guard. He is a sharp guy who would immediately challenge any noble idealism I might purport about debt being bad. He needed objective rationale.
So, scrambling a bit, here was my response, "Larry, I have found that when I save and pay cash, I am much more selective about what I buy. That cash is something that I have worked and scrimped to save, so I shop very carefully. On the other hand, when I borrow money to buy a car, I don't see the money come out of my account, so it just doesn't seem as real. I will therefore pay more, buy newer and get more options. In short, I spend more when I borrow than I would paying cash."
"Oh. I hadn't thought of it that way." Larry was slowly nodding his head. "That makes sense."
So I suppose I was able to give a decent answer, but Larry's question made me think. Are there other reasons not to borrow money for a new car, even at zero percent interest? I think there are. Here are some thoughts:
New cars depreciate faster than used cars. Yes, you get a new car guarantee and a new car smell, but you are paying for it. According to SafeCarGuide.com. "New cars lose an average of 20% of their value the instant they are driven away from the dealership. When coupled to the annual yearly depreciation of 7% to 12%, your first year's loss is anywhere from 25% to 35%. That translates to a loss of $6,000 to $8,000 loss on a $22,500 new vehicle, or a $10,000 to $15,000 loss on a $40,000 one. And that is for a vehicle that is only driven the average of 13,500 miles. If you drive more than that, your depreciation will be greater (35% to 50% for the first year)"
I think you get the point. That zero percent loan is costing you between $500 and $1,000 a month in depreciation costs for the first year alone.
The zero percent loan could spellbind you into buying too much car. If life happens (injury, job lay off, etc.) and you can't make your payments, Mr. Tow Truck will show up and get your car. You will still owe on the negative equity even if you no longer own the car. Zero interest sounds pretty hollow once repo man shows up.
May be paying more for car
You may well be paying for that zero interest loan via higher sale price. Yes, dealers are offering deals to move new cars, but they aren't stupid. That same car might have sold at a lower price if the financing would have included some interest payment.
The cost of dealing with a dealer
New cars, of course, must be purchased from dealers, but that is part of the problem. For sake of discussion, I compared the Kelly Blue Book retail price of a 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV, excellent condition, with the private party price of exactly the same vehicle. The retail price of $42,440 is $3,600 more than the private party price of $38,840. My point is that you pay a premium simply for buying from a dealer. You also pay more sales taxes in many states. For example, in Illinois (where I live) the taxes for that $42,440 vehicle purchased from a dealer are $2,652.50 compared to $1,500 if purchased from an individual.
Lost opportunity cost
Larry and I started this conversation by agreeing that everyone, whether they are making payment on a loan or saving to pay cash, needs to budget a set amount for vehicle purchases. Even at zero percent interest, the new car buyer is going to pay more per month than someone (like me) who saves up and pays cash. How much is this difference and what could that money be doing if it weren't going for cars? This number will vary greatly from person to person, but if we assume a $25,000 new car every five years compared to a $10,000 used car every five years, and factor in depreciation for each, the new car buyer will pay about $220 a month more. The lost opportunity, if invested at 8% annual growth for 40 years, is $768,000 dollars! How many of us could use that much extra cushion in our retirement portfolios?
Concluding thoughts
While a zero percent loan on a new car sounds good, there are many downsides. If the owner buys a new car just to get that zero percent loan, he is probably buying more car than he would by saving and paying cash. Even though he isn't paying any interest, he is paying for depreciation, sometimes as much as $1,000 a month for the first year. Other downsides are risk and the higher costs of purchasing from a dealer. In addition, the lost opportunity cost can be substantial over a lifetime.
According to "The Millionaire Next Door" by Stanley and Danko, 37% of millionaires buy used cars instead of new. Hmmm. Maybe that is how they became millionaires.
How do you plan for car purchases? Do you save and pay cash or do you borrow? What have you found to work best for you?

I love this Valentine's Day wall art from Secret Pie Shoppe! The whole project was made with nothing but scrapbook paper and a little cardstock--just a few dollars, if you don't have the materials on hand.
You could do this with pretty much any shape and color--squares or circles, hearts, what-have-you. It definitely isn't limited to a Valentine's Day craft.

So to celebrate I've got a couple of things going on...
First, thanks to some inspiration earlier this week, (I'm Lovin Lit) I bought myself an early gift and have been tinkering with it a bit. As a result I have a small batch of frames made up to share with all of you!

Whilst your there I'm having a sale through Sunday at both my TPT and TN stores. So if you've been waiting for a sale there is one going on now!
Thanks for helping me celebrate!! Have a wonderful day!
