Ford Excursion Prices Paid and Buying Experience
edw5 Posts: 6As per my prior post, I negotiated the price of the new truck ($40.9) before throwing in the trade. Thus, the truck nets out to 30.9. The trade was good 'cause three other GM dealers offered 3800, 9000, and 9500 respectively - so the 10 was great. The 3800 was a joke I told them where to put it.
I find if I bring in a trade too early in the buying process, it makes it hard to negotiate the actual vehicle price. I will act as cash-on-the-barrelhead for the vehicle I want and then bring up the spectre of a trade post price. To get the real trade value, I go to a couple of dealers I don't want to buy from and play the "I'm trading game" from the start. I get a good pre-new car price eval for it, then go back with that info to dealer I want the car from with the high trade in eval elsewhere. Works everytime. Well, the last three times. Maximizes trade in and purchase value. -
taylor510 Posts: 1Purchased a 2002 XLT Premium (True Blue)
List $38,785
Paid $33,890
Took the $1000 Rebate
Final Price of $32,890
No Trade-in
Did all the negotation over the phone or email. Worked 5 different dealerships for best price. Prices ranged from $1000 over (this one is still available) to $600 under invoice. Lets be honest, all are still available. Wife went in and picked out the one she wanted. Did not go to the dealer until ready to write the check. Out in less than an hour. -

automan227 Posts: 118Does the truck you are looking at have any special options? Also, if the dealer caught on to the fact that it may have something rare, they maybe inflating the cost. The dealership I went to had no clue what the big deal was with regards to the Limited Premiere Package (makes it all black including blacked out grill and no chrome) and I got about 10k off as well.

gneumann2 Posts: 1I bought Excursion 03 with the rear seat dvd player. Sales rep said that it came with wireless headphones as shown in separate brochure. Mine came without the either the remote or headphones. Dealer order same and to my surprise, and salesman, the headphones are "wired" He has ordered "wireless" but dont think they will work. Any suggestions as to how to get them operational. Otherwise love suv, mileage with PSD 18 mpg @70, 22 @55. Diesel #1 seems to cut mileage by 10% or more, does this seem logical. Also concerned over huge discounts, saw a 03 Eddie Bauer with 7.3 diesel for 14M off list of 46M. This will effect everyone who has an Excursion as the resale value of the suv will reflect these high discounts.
pokes74 Posts: 1I went through the same confusion on the dvd headphones. I've got an 02 Excursion Ltd Ultimate 4x4 7.3 PSD and was told the rear dvd player came with wireless headphones. Wrong, the wireless headphones go with the VHS player that was being installed prior to being replaced by the dvd player which only comes with wired headphones. The dealer ended up ordering me two addtional sets and both times they came wired. I think the confusion is in some of the sales literature that was floating around during the changeover from VHS to dvd. My guess on the big discount on the 03 Eddie Bauer 7.3 is due to the new 6.0 diesel now hitting the street. It's a stronger engine then the 7.3 so the 03 with the 7.3 isn't as desireable. I got a huge discount on my 02 in 09/02 I think for the same reason plus a $5000 rebate Ford was running at the time. I love the truck and it pulls our 27' Komfort TT a whole lot better than the 98 Expedition we had prior.
medic177 Posts: 1I bought my 02 Excursion Limited ultimate in Jan 03.It is a loaded PSD 7.3L 4X4. MSRP was $49999- I paid $37900 no haggle price @ Wiscasset Ford In Wiscasset Maine.I live in CT.All arrangements made on a Friday night ,had the truck delivered to my driveway full of diesel on Sat afternoon by 2 retired lobstermen for $200.A binder with highlighted areas for me to sign,15 min later The deal was done and they were gone.This was the best experience I have had in my life.I LOVE MY TRUCK.and the dealer.we just bought another truck and saved $7000.(F250 Xcab PSD 4X4 @ $31000)All the New England Ford Dealers said it was impossible..Look who is laughing..Me for once.

schutzhund Posts: 1I LOVE my Excursion, and the deal I got made it even better! I contacted the dealer thru email via Ford's internet dealer locator service (113 dealers in all sent the email) with the same email detailing what I wanted.
I got the 4x4 Limited 6.0 PSD, DVD, 3.73 Limited Slip, Skid Plate, Trailer Tow mirrors & cargo mat. Pricing, including 795 dest charge:
MSRP was 52,755
Invoice was 46,175
My price was 44,938, or $1,237 under invoice, less ANOTHER $1,500 rebate and a full tank of diesel! This was their initial offer with no haggling.
And only 16 miles on this new vehicle! No other charges except the $45 Doc Fee and Sales Tax. My husband loves it too, especially since I will not let him drive it and he gets driven everywhere now. The tow mirrors are something else, what with the extra mirror at the bottom of them to remove the blind spot.
We bought it at Elm Ford in Woodland, CA (10 miles outside the Sacramento airport). (Don't confuse them with Woodland Hills in southern CA). They picked us up at the airport, too.
Besides having an unbelievable price, they were also nice people.
If you want a truck or an excursion, I strongly suggest you email them. -
grumpy4x4 Posts: 1to the people who bought the excursion at elm ford in woodland. how did you get such a great deal and how did you get so many responses for your request? all the fleet dealers here in the sacramento area seem to think it is bogus . i showed them the post you put up and they laugh thanx, glen @ email@example.com

tourguide Posts: 188In answer to post #22 - There are two types of invoice - Retail invoice (what you and I see on the website) and Dealer invoice (what the dealer pays and what you DON'T see).
Suffice it to say that nobody is loosing money by selling at those prices. No dealership would be in business long if they didn't make money on every unit that rolls off the lot.
The only varialbe as to how much below retail invoice you can get them is the Ford incentive package at the time of purchase. -
e350v10 Posts: 92While that is true with GM, the Ford invoice is the Ford invoice. The dealer usually gets a 3% holdback and factory-to-dealer incentives - which the consumer doesn't always see.
3% is still nice margin and it is usually only brokers and fleet buyers that can get the dealer to give some of the holdback back. -
sales101 Posts: 1this is to all. It is all relative, how much you pay new versus how much you get on a trade. All consumers want to pay nothing for it new but want retail when it is traded. I work for a dealer and am in sales and it baffles me how some people think!! be fair to all. We must make money just like you. I understand that you want a good deal, that's fine, so do I when I shop for something. But I keep in mind that they need to make money too. I have to pay my bills and put food on the table just like all of you do. The biggest misconception is that we make a ton of money. I do make good money, I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't, but not as much as most consumers think. Please keep this in mind when you shop for your next car.
palbert Posts: 2I am looking into buying a 2000-2001 Ex with anywhere from 78k-100k miles. I am hesitant in buying such a large engine vehicle, 10Cy. but am looking forward to the extreme size of the SUV. I am looking for advice and opinions of past owners.
Is there a big difference between the 6.8 vs 7.3?
Any problems with electrical or engine/trans?
8cy vs 10cy? Preference?
Any know reoccuring issues with used Exs?
Thanks. -

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Has any new information come out at recent conferences about the addition of aromatase inhibitors after 2.5 yrs. of Tamoxifen for estrogen-positive DCIS, after a lumpectomy with clear margins? A consultation indicated that it was not necessary in my case. In my research, I find that 5 yrs. of Tamoxifen is considered adequate for DCIS.
Kevin R. Fox, MD, Assistant Director, Clinical Affairs and Associate Professor of Hematology/Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Your research is correct. The current standard for DCIS is tamoxifen for five years. There is no role for aromotase inhibitors in the treatment of DCIS at this time.
Jul 1, 2010 - Only half of hormone-sensitive stage I to III breast cancer patients prescribed adjuvant hormonal therapy adhere to that therapy for the full duration at the optimal schedule, and younger women in particular are at high risk of non-adherence, according to a study published online June 28 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Vizio E3D470VX 47-Inch Internet TV
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
The Vizio E3D470VX was the least expensive of the 47-inch TVs we tested, but you wouldnt guess that from watching it. At a glance, this set lacks the razor thin aesthetic design of many other TVs, but picture quality is great. A built-in full QWERTY keyboard helps with navigation, making this TV our overall budget buy choice.
Image quality was good on the whole. Scenes in The Dark Knight (used to evaluate image quality) were impressive, but we found the contrast levels a bit less striking in comparison to other sets. Light picture quality in Avatar was good as well, and colors were rich if not a bit saturated. Unfortunately, the Vizio frustrated us with a long startup time, taking 18 seconds to launch but at least app load times were tolerable. Energy consumption was average, but Vizio employs an auto-dimming feature that helps save power in accordance with available light in the room. Like the LG and a few other sets we looked at, Vizio employs a 3D system with lightweight glasses; it's not quite as aggressive and dramatic as the 3D system found on others like the Samsung, but it ended up being much more comfortable on our eyes to watch.
The Vizio's Smart TV app interface seems a bit dated in comparison to some of the other sets we looked at. Consumer testers rated their experience visiting various sites and apps like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu average as well. We thought the app layout was fairly straightforward, but lacked a certain amount of polish apparent on sets like those we tested from LG, Samsung, and Panasonic. Built-in WiFi made connecting to wireless a painless task. The full keyboard on the backside of the remote control was a big plus for typing too, but we found it somewhat cluttered with an immense number of buttons between front and back. We also had trouble getting the remote to register commands at times.

Colette Macaron 2.0
Dear Colette, you've been telling me for years to trace my patterns rather than cutting out my size, and I, as a lazy sewer, ignored you. Now I know I should have heeded your advice. I'm working on cutting several patterns right now, many that I have already used, and I realize I've changed sizes so much that I've had to re-cut or re-trace nearly all these patterns. Ooops. I've learned my lesson. From now on I'm a tracer, not a cutter.
Thanks, Dixie
The Goal: Earlier this year I analyzed my wardrobe and found that one of my "needs" was "church appropriate" dresses. Garments that I rarely wear but when an event comes up like a wedding you really need something nice.
These dresses used to be my Anouk dress and my Macaron from last October. One was summery, the other winter. Perfect! I could check that one off the "need" list.
But now both of them don't fit. They're too big. And not in a way that I could easily fix by sewing up the sides. I am so sad about this! I LOVED both of these dresses! They were my favorites and I wore them regularly even when I wasn't going to a wedding.
So two weekends ago when I had to go to a wedding I was at a loss. I didn't have enough time to make a new dress and I didn't have any other "nice" dresses that would work for a night-time, chilly, fall wedding. I gave in and bought a sweater dress at Target!! Shocking! I know, I'm so ashamed!
I figured I should stop moping about my loss of my former Macaron and make another. And here she is!
The Pattern: Colette's Macaron, and probably my fave Colette pattern of them all. I love the sweetheart neckline and the cute sleeve detail and the nifty pocket placement!
The Fabric: I made this dress on a whim so it was good that I had this stuff in my stash. The top is leftover Swiss Dot from this Burda Blouse and the floral is a pretty cotton lawn (I kind of echoed the style of my original Macaron). Both fabrics are from Fabricker in Austin but you can also buy the fabrics online!
The Changes: Not much. The pattern calls for a facing for the neckline but I lined the whole yoke instead. I used plain white batiste for the yoke and sleeve lining.
The Results: I made a size 10 the last time I made this pattern and it was a little bit too big. This time I made a 2 and it's maybe a wee bit too small. Next time I'll do a four. Hopefully that'll be the Goldilocks zone. But it's still very wearable and I think it's super cute! Success!

Lovely dress!!!! It seems to suit your personality so well!!! It's so obvious that you love this dress and for good reason:)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely super cute! I've got the macaron on my sewing table, just waiting for me to finish sewing my jasmine so I can FINALLY make that cute dress. Love your fabric, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute I love the material! So funny that's why I love PDF patterns cause you can just cut it instead of tracing them out it takes sooo long! I'm sure you will be able to work it out on the ones you have. That's a good sign your clothes getting too big I'd say that's an awesome win. I'm keeping clothes that are too small for me hoping that I will one day fit back into them lol. Give you a good excuse to make some new pretty dresses like this one!
ReplyDeleteSome of my me-mades are too big now, but only because I didn't properly stabilize the waistbands or whatever. Your Macaron (auto-corrected to Macaroni on the iPhone) is adorable but makes me shiver. It's sleeting and windy here right now, so my floral dresses are taking a nap in my closet :(
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab dress!!! I have had this pattern in my stash for ages because I just love all the versions I have seen...I'm just struggling on what fabric to use for the yoke section. Love your idea of using swiss dot!
ReplyDeleteI nearly never trace either. I am so lazy. I regret it now, because this amazing shirt I made my husband now doesn't fit him, and I'd like to make the next size up. But it's a McCall's pattern, so wouldn't tracing destroy it anyway? All those little perforations in the fine tissue paper?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! The Macaron is my favourite of all the Collette patterns too. I love the fun fabric you chose.I have my eye on the new pants pattern though.
ReplyDelete- Replies
you know, after making this i noticed that the waistline is kind of high. not all the way to an empire waist but higher than a natural waist. but with the pleats in the front i think this dress might work for early maternity (for later maternity you'd have to do a lot of design mods). i know you're already several months along but your comment made me think of that. ;) thanks kelli!
i'm slowly switching over to tracing as well (unless i'm in a hurry and know that i can always re-purchase when a 99 cent sale comes around!). i broke down and bought a 50 yard roll of tracing paper recently, so that helps.
i love your macaron, and the fabric you used is beautiful! this is definitely my favorite colette pattern.Oh my, this is lovely! I've had the Macaron pattern for a while and you've just reminded me why I need to make it very soon!

Mahogany Verona Trestle Table
Great Table
The perfect table I was looking for. Rustic, yet classic. Can easily go with different types of decor too.
December 9, 2013
Two things to say: table is BEAUTIFUL and an incredible value for the money. AND, World Market is excellent to work with if there is any problems at all. I'm going to order the rest of my furniture from World Market too.
October 23, 2013
Just awesome
Simply an awesome dining table. We love it!!! We placed it right beside our Verona bar and it looks great!

Six months later...
I've had this table for 6 months, and I love it! I don't use it daily, so I haven't experienced the issues others have mentioned with warping and the stain coming off. It does seem like it could be fragile, though. I do not use cleaners on it, only a damp cloth to clean up. I also use hard placemats and trivets. I have two Verona benches and two Grayson dining chairs at the ends. They go great with the color as it is much darker in person than it looks online. It is more brown than red. I wasn't interested in it when I saw it online, but I loved it when I saw it in the store. I'm getting ready to purchase the buffet. I saw the Verona Bar in store, but it looks and and feels a bit cheap.

Upscale Farmhouse
I LOVE this table! I think it is beautiful and durable. I don't love the ridges on it due to the wood planks however I love that look. Sometime to consider, do you want to constantly battle the crumbs out of the cracks as long as you own this table? Also place mats are a must especially if you are going to write on it. I wouldn't say it is the best table for children to do homework on since the ridges of the wood don't really work well unless you have the placemat handy. Those things kind of annoy me but the look of the table and how beautiful it is makes it totally worth it.
August 1, 2013
Beautiful table!
With two little kids, this is the perfect table and a huge improvement from the glass top table we had! It's easy to wipe down, there's tons of room even without the leaf and it's really a nice looking table. We love the bench for seating kids and the chairs are pretty comfortable too. We are SO happy with this purchase!

Dungeons & Dragons makes no attempt to present itself as factual. It is fantasy, although some lunatics might believe otherwise.
This stuff talked about here... 9/11 inside jobs, aliens doing horrible experiments and whatnot, secret governments murdering and mind-controlling... I don't see conspiracy theorists clearly stating, "Hey, this is all just fantasy to entertain people."
So your comparison doesn't fly, regardless of whether some nerd goes nuts and stabs other players with his magic dagger. It simply doesn't compare because TSR/Wizards of the Coast are a game company clearly making games.
I don't see these conspiracy theorists saying anything like that. Everything they do is geared toward exposing supposed hidden truths, not to entertain with magical fantasy stories and settings.

XXVIII, No. 21 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1942 Thompson Decries American Fitness For Long Struggle Sees Use of Land Corps As Help to Economic And Moral Force Swarthmore, April 10.�Ameri- ca is not prepared, to meet her en- emies either spiritually, economic- ally, morally, or strategically, said Dorothy Thompson, noted column- ist now serving as chairman for the Volunteer Land Corps. Miss Thompson, speaking in behalf of the Land Corps at Swarthmore College, said that we are "up against it, worse than even we cah think," and we are in need of some of our old spirit. She urged stu- dents to "do the thing nobody else wants to do;" to work for three months on a farm in Vermont. The United States is unprepared spiritually because it lacks the "high sense of the importance, the sacrament, the high adventure of Continued on Page Six B. M. Defense Group Will Sponsor Movies For War Relief Fund The American Defense Group of Bryn Mawr College and The Alli- ance are sponsoring a movie benefit for the week April 22-28, the pro- ceeds of which are to go to the British War Relief Society, the United China Relief, and the Rus- sian War Relief. Tickets will be good at the Seville, Suburban, and Anthony Wayne Theatres for any performance except those on Sat- urday, April 25. The program at the Seville includes Katharine Hep- burn in,"Woman of the Year" on April 22 and 23; "Wild Bill Hickok Rides" on April 24; "Dumbo" on April 26 and 27; and Ginger Rog- ers in "Roxie Hart" on April 28. Tickets must be obtained in ad- vance from hall representatives of The Alliance or from the Publicity Office in Taylor Hall. The price is forty cents and no charging on Pay Day is permitted. On the first thousand tickets sold, the pro- ceeds available for the three relief organizations will be 9% cents per ticket. If more than 1,000 tickets are sold, the proceeds amount to twelve cents for each ticket in ex- cess of 1,000. Coleman Makes Plea For Humor, Serenity Despite War Despair At the College Assembly on Monday morning, the Reverend Michael Coleman, Vicar of All- Hallows by the Tower, London, spoke on his experiences in Eng- land. During such experiences and similar ones which we are likely to meet in the present situa- tion, he believes that a sense of humor and serenity are valuable assets. Father Coleman, since his parish is in London, and since he is ac- tively attached to the Demolition gangs, Bomb Disposal squads, and other civilian defense groups, '.as seen "how people in London are feeling about the essential things in life." He likened their struggle to see the Light of God through the blackness of danger, despair, and fear, to Christian's search, i-i Pilgrim's Progress, for the "wick- et gate" and the "shining light." What we need most to preserve in wartime, and what is most like- ly to be sacrificed, according to Father Coleman, are our sense of humor and our serenity. The British, he asserted, have succeed- ed in retaining their characteristic humor during the difficulties and tragedies of wartime.

Be- coming suspicious of a frequent visitor to the mineral collection in the New Science Building, he in- vestigated, discovering that a large number of valuable specimens were missing, including some of gold and platinum. ~ ' - The thief, an "amateur mineral collector," thirty six* year old George K. Peterson, worked with the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company. Informing Mr. Watson that he was interested in the Bryn Mawr College Collection, he ob- tained permission to visit it every da^ in his lunch hour. After about twenty of these visits had been made, Mr. Watson became suspicious and checked the collection with the catalogue which was completed last summer. He found that in addition to gold and platinum many valuable gems were missing. In collaboration, Mr. Watson and the detectives set an ingenious trap. They moved a coat closet, resembling the cupboards in which the minerals were kept into the mineral room. Hiding in the closet, 'Detective Tierney of the Lower | Merion Police was able to observe Mr. Peterson appropriating valu- �aWe minerals with the aid. of a i handkerchief. On this actual evidence, the thief was caught. Rocks bearing the minerals were found in his room. There was also a list of well-known mineral collections, including that of the Museum of Natural History in New York. Peterson signed a confession and admitted having stolen from other collections. His method was to convince prospec- tive employers of his qualifications as a mineral analyst. Research Fellowship Given by Foundation To Miss Oppenheimer One of the awards of the seven- teenth annual series of Guggenheim Fellowships went to Miss Oppen- heimer of the- Bryn Mawr Biology Department. These fellowships are granted to research workers, schol- ars, artists, and others who by their previous work have shown themselves to be unusually able. Miss Oppenheimer hopes to go to Cornell Medical School to make an experimental analysis of the struc- ture and function of the bony fish central nervous system. Most of the research projects �f the Fel- lows are long-range, and the Gug- genheim Foundation believes that interruption of the continuity of such fundamental work would re- sult in unestimable loss. Miss Oppenheimer's work is al- ready started, and the fellowship has been given to her specifically to enable her to continue. She has collected and fertilized eggs from the bony fish, fundulus heteroclitus, and has operated on and preserved embryos in various stages of de- velopment. It remains for her, next year, to section these embryos and make a study of them. Fundulus heteroclitus, a small minnow, lives in the New Haven harbor. Miss Oppenheimer has caught many in a wire trap baited with a bone. In the laboratory, she operates microscopically on the fertilized eggs at different stages of their embryological development, cutting the tissues before the or- gans are formed in such a way as to produce abnormal formation of the brain.

Food Allergy Myths
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: Jay W. Marks, MD
Food allergies are often misunderstood, even though societal recognition of, and education about, the condition is increasing. See if you have heard ? or believed ? any of the following myths about food allergies:
- "You're "allergic" to any food that gives you problems." This statement is false, since there are several problems that can arise after eating specific foods, the majority of which are unrelated to allergy. True allergies to foods are immunologic reactions involving the class of immunoglobulins (proteinsthat assist in the body's immune response) known as immunoglobulin(Ig) E. Other kinds of reactions to foods that are not food allergies include food intolerances (such as lactose or milk intolerance), food poisoning, and toxic reactions. The prevalence of food allergy in the population is much lower than the prevalence of adverse reactions to foods. It is estimated that true food allergies occur in 2-5% of the population.

quote:NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Trillions of dollars in looming tax hikes and spending cuts set to take effect next year would likely cause a recession, the Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday. At issue is the so-called fiscal cliff -- a series of measures set to begin in January that would take more than $500 billion out of the economy in 2013 alone.
quote:Those measures include the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and protection of the middle class from the Alternative Minimum Tax, the onset of $1 trillion in blunt spending cuts, and a reduction in Medicare doctors' pay. If Congress lets all those policies take effect, inflation-adjusted growth for 2013 would be just 0.5% -- with the economy projected to contract by 1.3% in the first half of the year and to grow by 2.3% in the second half. "Given the pattern of past recessions as identified by the National Bureau of Economic Research, such a contraction in output in the first half of 2013 would probably be judged to be a recession," the CBO said.
quote:Overall, taxable income would be lower, unemployment would be higher, tax revenue would fall, and spending on safety net provisions such as jobless benefits would increase, the CBO said. Federal budget deficits, meanwhile, would be reduced by more than $500 billion. By contrast, were lawmakers to cancel the onset of the fiscal cliff measures, the CBO estimates that growth in real GDP for calendar year 2013 would come in around 4.4%.
quote:For Congress, the outlines of the pending fiscal crisis are clear: Don't do a thing, and watch the economy slip into a double-dip recession early next year. Or cancel the looming tax increases and spending cuts, watch the deficit rise, and push the government ever closer to a European-style debt crisis. That decision was put in stark terms Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office, which in a new analysis said the economy will plunge into a recession early next year if Congress lets taxes rise and spending be cut, as called for under the law. But if Congress changes the law to keep taxes low and spending high, it could add more than half a trillion dollars to the deficit in 2013, marking a fifth straight year of trillion-dollar deficits and risking the patience of the country's creditors. The CBO numbers come just as the debate is heating up on Capitol Hill over how to handle the looming "fiscal cliff," which Congress created by continually pushing off tough decisions on both taxes and spending.
quote:Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, signaled Tuesday that he will allow the automatic spending cuts called for in last year's debt deal to go into effect — culling billions of dollars from defense and domestic spending — unless Republicans agree to allow taxes to increase on at least some taxpayers. "If Republicans want to walk away from the bipartisan spending cuts agreed to last August, they will have to work with Democrats to replace them with a balanced deficit-reduction package that asks millionaires to pay their fair share," Mr. Reid said. Republicans remain adamant that the lower income- and investment-tax rates passed in 2001 and 2003 under President Bush, and extended in 2010 under President Obama, must be extended again. "No economy can sustain such a hit without being hurled into recession," said Sen Orrin G. Hatch, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees tax policy.
quote:frick Hatch. Guy's no better than Reid, except with Reid, I expect him to try to frick the country at every opportunity.
quote:(1) Get reelected; (2) Get reelected;
quote:And the rest of the story...if we just keep printing money and overlooking our debt, we can avoid recession.
quote:The mantra of Kenysian economics.
quote:The only hope is for the dems to take back the house, and keep the senate.
quote:Glad I don't have young children.
quote:It will be extremely challenging to solve our nation's problems, even with a united government. With the slop we have in government today, we don't have a chance. Remember, they want to default.
quote:What do the Dems want? To soak the rich and keep all the middle class tax cuts? More and more credits and giveaways in the tax code so that 30% of federal taxpayers pay income tax instead of the current 50% of taxpayers? Make the payroll tax permanent? Never reform entitlement spending? DA, just are the Dems so much more fiscally responsible in your mind? How have Obama and the Dems (Pelosi and Reid) shown themselves to be capable of balancing budgets and moving the government into a long term sustainable financial position? Unless you want to reelect Bill Clinton and the GOP congress of the 90s, I'm not sure where this hope you have comes from. Seems very faith based and not founded in anything resembling reality.
quote:Remember, they want to default
quote:We're beyond all that. Get the crisis garden seeds and load up on the ammo. We're heading over the event horizon.

Airton drops it like it's hot in Sardinia!
Last week, 8 of the worlds best Kiteboarders from across the globe headed to Sardinia, Italy to go head to head for the Red Bull Unfastened title. The first ever pure strapless Kiteboarding competition, it's a unique and interesting event that offers up a different judging criteria to those of the events we are used to seeing in Kiteboarding. The idea is to test the all round skills of the riders, so it's easy to see why Sardinia played host to the event, presenting a great variety of spots and variable sea conditions.
Pure wave riding, strapless flat water freestyle and a combo category of wave and freestyle riding, were the three possible disciplines for the event. There has been a lot of buzz around the strapless wave riding movement recently as technically, it has evolved in great leaps and bounds. Taking the foundations of classic surfing and drawing influences from skateboarding for riding in flat water, it now has a clear 'street style' with huge scope for riders to be creative. Host of the event was North Kiteboarding rider Airton Cozzolino. Originally from Cape Verde he has been living on the island of Sardinia for the past 10 years. With a Wave World title under his belt and very at home riding his local spots, he proved hot competition to the other riders. Other North Kiteboarding Team members partaking in the event were Patri McLaughlin and Matchu Lopes.
Flat water freestyle kicked off the event where North Kiteboarding Team member Patri McLaughlin from Hawaii, put on a jaw dropping show in the picturesque location of Fontanamare. Wowing the International judging panel with his freestyle repertoire he put up a good fight but, unfortunately he was pipped to the post by Airton, the local. The following day the tables turned and after hitting the water with all guns blazing, Patri was unanimously awarded the win for Best Trick with an 'Unhooked Aerial 180 HP surface'.
The battle ground had been on fire for the duration of the event and although the waves failed to put in an appearance, the North Kiteboarding riders proved that they truly are some of the worlds best strapless riders. Inspiring, innovative and influential Matchu, Patri and Airton are the future of this discipline. Despite the fierce competition, it was Airton who was crowned the overall winner, showing the others that he really is the strapless Boss.

Lawrence police see uptick in home invasions
Published on -9/9/2013, 1:53 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Police are seeing a troubling rise in the number of drug-related home invasions committed in Lawrence, especially against young people who are considered easy targets.
At least five home invasions have been reported in Lawrence since December, but police think the true number is much higher but that many victims don't want to report them to police. And the break-ins involve guns more often than they did in the past, The Lawrence Journal-World (http://bit.ly/17LdcwQ ) reported.
"It is a regular occurrence," said police spokesman Sgt. Trent McKinley. "It didn't used to happen with that much frequency, and you're seeing, more and more, firearms being used. That's disturbing."
Often the victims are drug dealers -- college-age youths selling marijuana from their homes -- police said. Some victims have been beaten, others have been shot and killed.
In some cases, the criminals have forced their way into a home after their intended target has moved away, leaving them to terrorize the current residents who don't have drugs or cash to give up.
So far this year, nobody has been shot in any of the home invasions. In December, one of three men accused of invading a home was accidentally shot while he and an accomplice tried to kick in a door. Connor McKenzie Mayhan, 21, of Olathe, testified in court that the target of the robbery was $30,000 in drug money.
While such robberies have been happening for a long time within the illicit drug trade, law enforcement officers said it appears to be a problem in Lawrence more than in other cities. For instance, in Overland Park police counted only one or two drug-related home robberies in a year.
Police and prosecutors have complained of an increase in drug-fueled home invasions before. In 2011, they identified six drug-related home robberies over the previous two years, while in 2008, they counted four, including one that resulted in a double homicide.
In that case, two teenagers went to the home of Roland Klundt, a 20-year-old Baker University student, to rob him of drugs and money. Klundt was armed, though, and shot and killed one of the teens. The other teenager, Kellam Jones, who was 16 at the time, killed Klundt with a rifle.
Jones was convicted of murder and is serving a 14-year prison sentence in El Dorado. He will be eligible for parole in June 2020.
"We certainly want to impress upon young people how dangerous this can be," said Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson.
While some may view marijuana as less harmful than other illegal drugs, he said, being involved in large quantities of drugs and cash has gotten people killed.
"They're putting their lives at risk, their friends' lives at risk, and, of course, their property" at risk, he said.

The last 35 days
In the last 35 days, I've been playing with images with the ever watchful eye of my esteemed colleague to make sure I'm not making the blog look ugly.
Here's just some of what has kept us on the straight and narrow:
- Rachel's latest online column for Third Sector magazine on what Google+ may hold for charities as the search company takes social media by the scruff of the neck.
- I've had an content strategy article published in Direct Commerce (Catalogue & e-business) magazine on how business should be thinking and managing their content leading up to Christmas. And yes, you've guessed it, in these times of austerity.
- We've soft launched our new site and blog.
- Journalists call us up sometimes and ask us stuff about digital and social media environments- some of it is on Computeach, Experian QAS, myHermes, The Institute of Direct Marketing and a few other places.
By far the most interesting for me has been the release of Google+ and watching the hating, loving, hating then loving again by social media experts, hacks, flacks, mavens, gurus and anyone else that plays with these sort of things in a really unhealthy way.
Also, if you're a infographic nut, Visual.ly are building a tools that looks like it will help you create some nice infographics without the aid of someone that's good with design. I'm looking forward to seeing what it does and the pricing models since they sent a bit of an in-your-face email last week.
That's about it. The dungeon tan and lack of fresh air has meant that anything I else did is probably a distant memory.
