You can now upgrade to Version 5.0.0.Beta3 of Hibernate Search, and benefit from the following improvements:
Indexing Performance
We did some further polishing of the shiny new backend improvements introduced by last week. I would be really happy to get some feedback on this, as you should be able to get a very significant performance boost on index writing - whatever the storage technology you're using. We're preparing some large scale tests, but the environments we can test on are limited so I'd be happy if you could send us a note on what your experience with it looks like.
The new design should have a significant improvement in throughput, but also requires less locking, needs less threads and will result into less pressure on GC as it has a lower allocation rate.
JDK9 compatibility
We now have continuous integration running for Java 9 (preview builds) running as well. Except the OSGi integration tests running in Apache Karaf, everything else seems to work fine.
API changes
We're now polishing the API, and it's possible that this might be the last Beta. Two very frequently used interfaces were renamed; please don't miss the Migration Guide.
As always, looking forward for your experience with it! ideas and suggestions on the mailing list or via IRC.
I am happy keep the Hibernate Search 5 release train rolling by announcing Hibernate Search 5.0.0.Beta2. Download it from the JBoss Maven Repository using the GAV org.hibernate:hibernate-search:5.0.0.Beta2 or from SourceForge. The full change log is available via the JIRA release notes.
As Sanne mentioned on the Beta1 release blog, it is all about getting the final release of Search 5 over the finish line. The resolved issues are mostly minor and center around polishing API and documentation. In particular the geospatial support got a bit of an overhaul. One issue, however, stands out of the crowd - HSEARCH-1699. It deals with how synchronous index updates are applied. You as user are probably only interested in the indexing performance you gain (our initial tests show they are considerable and we will follow up with some numbers). Still, in case you want to know more, refer to the JIRA issue which outlines the gory details.
Make your voice heard and give us your feedback, for example via the mailing list or on IRC.
For more information, please see:
- 4.3.7.Final change log: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10031&version=17650
- 4.2.16.Final change log: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10031&version=17750
Most changes applied to both versions. Of note are:
- HHH-9312 fixed a database connection leak with JTA transaction tracking caused by a transaction timeout detected by a background thread with the transaction rolled back immediately; the background thread was not closing the database connection when Synchronization.afterCompletion(int status) was called; instead, the database connection was not closed until the next application request that used the affected Hibernate session.
- HHH-9387, HHH-9389, and HHH-9390 fixed some bugs in generated table and foreign key column names for collections when JPA annotations were used. Because these fixes could break existing applications (that rely on the incorrectly generated table and column names) they are not fixed by default. A new API (NamingStrategyDelegator) was added (HHH-9388) to enable these fixes because the NamingStrategy API was too inflexible to allow making changes without causing regressions when a custom NamingStrategy is used. NamingStrategy has been deprecated (HHH-7079 in favor of this new API. Documentation for the NamingStrategyDelegator API has not been added to the manual yet, and the API is not supported in the standalone schema tools yet. Both will be added in 4.3.8 and 4.2.17. For now, you can see details about enabling the fix in the Jira issues.
- HHH-9305 fixed various bugs in SQL generated for HQL queries that contain an
implicit join. The following are examples of HQL affected by this bug are:
// e.department is implicitly joined in the "select" clause, and is explicitly joined in the "from" clause select e.department from Employee e inner join e.department // a.zoo is implicitly joined in the "select", "where", and "order by" clauses select distinct a.zoo from Animal a where a.zoo is not null order by a.zoo.name
There were several fixes made to 4.3.7 (only):
- HHH-8839 fixed a bug that caused an IllegalStateException when rendering the SQL for loading an entity with an eager map having an entity key.
- HHH-8895 fixed a bug that caused a SQLGrammarException when enabling a filter that is defined on a @MappedSuperclass hierarchy because the filter condition was getting applied to all tables in the hierarchy, instead of just one where the filter is defined.
- HHH-3868 fixed a bug that caused NullPointerException when merging an entity Merging transient entity with an @Embeddable property containing a @org.hibernate.annotations.Parent mapping.

Version 5.0.0.Beta1 of Hibernate Search is now available for download!
This summer we've been slower than expected, and based on your feedback we decided that some features that we wished to have in the 5.0 release are going to be moved to future 5.x releases: the current codebase supports latest Apache Lucene 4 since a while and we believe it's in excellent shape already, so we're aiming now at a fast feedback loop to release a 5.0.0.Final in 4-6 weeks.
So in the following weeks we're going to aim at:
- last needed future-proofing API changes to make it possible to introduce the postponed features without (hopefully) affecting public API down the road of the 5.x cycle,
- polish documentation
- react on your feedback!
Noteworthy changes
Those looking at our detailed changelogs might have seen a log of small changes, apparently not too interesting.. that's because we've been working closely with the Infinispan team and some great improvements are being introduced disguised as a simple micro version update of our dependencies.
Significant performance improvements: Async backend
The new async backend is various orders of magnitude more efficient than the previous one! If you are an async user, you will love the new design. Also, while the previous implementation was simply async and wouldn't give any timing guarantees, now we expose a new configuration property index_flush_interval which could make it possible for many more systems to use the async backend: you can decide to have it flush for example every 5 minutes, so to not have a big performance penalty on writes and guarantee that new items are visible in approximately 5 minutes.
The performance benefit of this backend is extremely high, and we're looking forward to apply the same principles for the sync backend too; in case you're interested, the design is described at HSEARCH-1699.
Infinispan integration improvements
With the Infinispan team we've worked on several areas:
Infinispan Directory
Was updated to latest Apache Lucene 4.10 and it is now significantly more reliable: we could finally resolve all known issues and added lots of new tests, and a lot of work on performance was done as well.
Infinispan Query
Infinispan includes a Query module which exposes Hibernate Search 5 capabilities to all Infinispan users: if you know how to use Hibernate Search with a regular Hibernate ORM application (JPA), it will be very easy for you to learn how to use the full-text capabilities of Infinispan Query. Of course this last release 5.0.0.Beta1 is included in Infinispan 7.
WildFly modules for Infinispan integration
The Infinispan project now also provides a nice to use pre-packaged zip file with all modules you might need to copy into WildFly 8, and we've been working together to make sure that Hibernate Search can use these latest modules rather than the ones included by the container: that would allow you to immediately benefit from all new features, and generally speaking not be constrained by the versions of Infinispan that the container might be having at any point in time. This subject is still work in progress, in particular better documentation is needed but essentially you just need to download and unzip the modules package from both projects.
Debugging capabilities
Apache Lucene has the notion of an
InfoStream, which outputs lots of detailed information about index writing to the console. Via HSEARCH-1658 you can now configure Hibernate Search to capture all those details and forward it to your logging stream: see also Troubleshooting: enable Lucene's Infostream in the Lucene configuration chapter of the documentation.
Critical issue resolved in the Avro based serializer
Early alpha versions of Hibernate Search 5 were affected by a critical threadsafety issue in the code managing the Serializer service based on Apache Avro, making it essentially unusable except in trivial unit tests. This is now resolved, and does not affect any (older) stable release.
Avro protocol: version bumped
The serializer backend based on Avro is now able to transmit Flush commands as well; this is mostly to allow transparent improvements but as a user you need to keep in mind that you'd need to upgrade a master node first, as older master nodes will not be able to decode messages sent by this new version of Hibernate Search.
Evolution of the @ContainedIn annotation
This annotation used to be simply a counter-part of @IndexedEmbedded, but as discussed on HSEARCH-1580 it is useful as well to define any other form of indexing dependency. This did work in the past, but was unintentional and therefore broken during recent development, so now the functionality is restored and we're making it an intentionally supported feature.
Thanks Guillaume Smet, for both bringing it up and providing the patches!
Component upgrades
This version was built and tested against Hibernate ORM 4.3.7.Final, JGroups 3.6.0.Final, Infinispan 7.0.0.CR2, WildFly 8.1.0.Final, Apache Lucene 4.10.1.
Feedback needed!
Please try it out and let us know if you have any trouble with it, or if any part of the documentation is not clear enough. As always, we'll be monitoring the Forums, the Mailing Lists, and StackOverflow if you use tag hibernate-search.
The usual links
We are getting closer to a final release and this version is mainly about improving general performance and reducing the amount of round trips to the datastore. We also added optimistic locking support for datastores which provide atomic find-and-update operations.
We also worked on several bug fixes and improvements under the hood, you can read more about it in the release note.
Optimistic locking detection
With Hibernate ORM, you can add optimistic locking capability to an entity using the @Version annotation:
@Entity public class Flight implements Serializable { ... @Version @Column(name="OPTLOCK") public Integer getVersion() { ... } }
So far Hibernate OGM's support for this was limited to CouchDB, which has its own proprietary optimistic locking mechanism. In this release we added support for optimistic locking also for those datastores that provide atomic find-and-update semantics such as MongoDB.
As always, you can either download a release bundle from SourceForge or get the JARs from the JBoss Nexus repository server using Maven, Gradle etc. The GAV coordinates are:
- org.hibernate.ogm:hibernate-ogm-core:4.1.0.Beta8 for the OGM engine and
- org.hibernate.ogm:hibernate-ogm-<datastore>:4.1.0.Beta8, depending on the backend you want to use.
What's next?
We are currently focused is on improving performance, documentation, polishing the API and fixing last minute bugs.
You're very welcome to raise your voice on the mailing list, ask questions in the forum or report any bugs or feature requests in the issue tracker.

Keenan resigns police chief post, admits affair
GILFORD — In a prepared statement read to selectmen and a room full of supporters, including his family, Police Chief Kevin Keenan resigned last night.
Former Chief John Markland as well as a number of town employees were there in support. The only officer in the room during his resignation was Acting Chief James Leach, although many had been there earlier for the swearing in ceremony of a new officer.
Keenan's resignation brings to a close a trying chapter in the recent history of the Police Department that lasted 10 weeks, saw two officers placed on paid leave, and cost the town about $80,000 in salary and legal expenses.
"The Town of Gilford has to move on. My wife and I need to move on. Where our relationship will take us in the future is our business, and our business alone," Keenan said.
Appointed chief about two years ago, Keenan had been a police officer for 20 years in Gilford, rising through the ranks to become chief.
Placed on paid administrative leave 10 weeks ago, Keenan admitted last night to having an affair with one of his subordinates.
"She was and still is a good person," Keenan said, noting that it is known that police officers of all ranks have had extra-marital relationships at times when there were problems within their own marriages.
He said from a moral prospective, anyone can approve or disapprove. But from a human prospective, relationships in the course of employment often "flourish" when marriages deteriorate.
But he also said that there isn't a "no-fraternization" policy in Gilford, nor was there anything in his contract. "It never occurred to me that it was against regulations, or the law, or would be grounds for my termination."
Keenan had harsh words for the current town administration, singling out Selectmen Gus Benavides and Kevin Hayes as well as Town Administrator Scott Dunn, who he said insinuated to a reporter why he had been suspended. He also said he had a problem with having his oldest daughter read about his suspension in the newspapers.
He said he told Benavides in private and later Dunn when his affair became generally known and voluntarily submitted himself to a suspension.
He said he was assured by Benavides the matter would remain confidential and be handled as an internal investigation. Within days, he said, it was turned into a subcontracted investigation to Municipal Resources Inc. — a Meredith company he said has long had ties to Dunn.
He said that he heard Benavides would tell anyone who listen that "he was in (Keenan's) corner."
"If Selectman Benavides is in your corner, beware," he said.
Keenan said Hayes called his personal psychological counselor seeking personal information about him — a statement that caused murmurs of disapproval to circulate through the standing-room only crowd.
He said he consented to an interview with MRI — an independent company hired by the town to do an outside investigation.
He described the investigation as "a hostile, badgering interrogation and it began with the kind of warning that you give to a policeman who is suspected of a crime..." he said.
He said he has no recollection of adultery being prosecuted in the last century. He said if charged he would fight the charge as long as the jury wasn't filled with hypocrites.
He also said the town leaders squelched a petition started within the Police Department to reinstate him. He said he understood all but the three people who stand to gain by his removal supported it.
Keenan said promoting Acting Chief James Leach and Deputy Acting Chief Kris Kelley barred the way to his graceful return.
It took 10 weeks for the town to resolve the issue when, had he been reprimanded or fired within 10 days, he said he would have had some kind of recourse within the regulations provided by the state as they apply to police chiefs.
He said by delaying action — he was on a paid administrative leave — selectmen denied him the right of an appeal.
They instructed officers in the department not to support him, and of promoting people before the matter was finished to "poison the waters."
Keenan said he was told, through his attorney Phil McLaughlin, late last week that he would be subject to a disciplinary hearing at 4 p.m. yesterday and that he would be terminated for "just cause."
He said McLaughlin was told that during the hearing he would not be allowed to enter any evidence and his attorney would not be able to challenge the MRI report.
Keenan assured those who were there to support him that any relationship he had never interfered with his ability treat all officers fairly.
"In real time, I was a very good chief," he said. "In retrospect, I appear to have been a failure. Let me set the record straight: I was always a very good chief chief, the MRI report be damned."
He thanked the people in the department who had supported him throughout his career and received a standing ovation after finishing his statement.
Benavides voted against accepting Keenans's termination. After Keenan and his friends and family left, he said he was and remains in Keenan's corner and never in the course of any of the meeting supported his termination or resignation.

Somersworth men arrested for Alton bank robbery
ALTON — Police Chief Ryan Heath said yesterday that two men who are alleged to have robbed the Meredith Village Savings Bank at gunpoint on October 10 have been arrested.
Heath said Phillip Gage, 46, and Marvin Eugene Ansteth Jr., 40, both of Somersworth, have been arrested by federal authorities and charged in the U.S. District Court, District of Maine in Portland.
Police said that Gage is the alleged man who entered the bank while Ansteth is alleged to have been driving the get-away car and waiting on Range Road.
The MVSB Branch is on 82 Wolfeboro Highway next to the Hannaford Supermarket.
Authorities believe Gage entered the brand and 4:34 p.m. and brandished a handgun. While holding one employee at gunpoint, he allegedly jumped over the counter and emptied the teller drawers, fleeing initially on foot.
Heath said both will be prosecuted by federal authorities.

In day three of our Kentucky Bourbon Trail adventure, we check out small (Wilderness Trail) and big (Four Roses, Wild Turkey) distilleries on the way to Lexington — and get to taste something particularly special.
Distillery-Exclusive Bourbon Bottles
Finding the Rarest of the Rare
At some of the distilleries along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, there are bottles you can't find anywhere else — rarities that can only be purchased on-site. These were the exclusive bottles we found in the dozen or so distilleries we visited.
The Best (and Only) Hotel in Lexington's Historic District
Stay: The Gratz Park Inn
The Gratz Park Inn isn't just the best place to stay at in Lexington's Historic District — it's the only boutique hotel in Lexington's Historic District. You're just a short walk from enough comfort food, bourbon and good Kentucky weather. What else could you want?

The Best Support the World Has Ever Seen
Viewfinder: Twelfth Man
In the northeast of England, Sunderland A.F.C. and Newcastle United F.C. are separated by less than 15 miles. Both teams are notoriously average of late, finishing in the middle to bottom half of the English Premier League. But their supporters are some of the most zealous in all of football. The short film "Twelfth Man", directed by Duane Hopkins and scored by Michael Gardiner, is a visceral experience; it doesn't take much to intensify scenes where hundreds seem poised to beat each other bloody.

5 Days On The Kentucky Bourbon Trail: Day 2
Watching the bourbon boom unfold from our HQ in New York, we've had a lot of questions. How can a spirit go from the hand of every white collar on Wall Street to a "low-class" spirit, then have another renaissance with bottles worth over $5,000, all in a few decades? And more immediately: Who drinks the stuff? How do they drink it? Why? And why are some of them so goddamn pretentious about it? We figured the best way to get to the bottom of this was to head to the Bluegrass State with a few cameras, some notebooks and clean livers for five days of Kentucky scenery, friendly locals and distillery tours. Here's yet another update to our investigation, following our play-by-play of day one.
Maker's Mark, Willet, and More
Kentucky Bourbon Trail Travelogue: Day Two
In day two of our Kentucky Bourbon Trail adventure, we get lost in the backwoods, explore the Willet Distillery, taste a few bourbon cocktails made by a pro, and more.
A Night in Kentucky's Oldest Family-Operated B&B
Stay: The Beaumont Inn
Close your eyes. Form a picture in your head of what a historic B&B in the heart of Bluegrass country should look like. What remains though in the mind's eye should look quite close to Harrodsburg's Beaumont Inn owned by the Dedman family.
Wild Kentucky Catfish Over Beer Cheese Grits
Recipe: Drunk Kentucky Catfish
The Harrison-Smith House in Bardstown, Kentucky is a centuries old family mansion converted into a premiere restaurant, serving local cuisine amplified by knowledgable Head Chef Newman Miller. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming and the bourbon is some of the best you'll find anywhere. Here's a recipe from their November menu.
How a next-generation master distiller helped relight the stills
Willett's Long Path Back to Bourbon
Willett Master Distiller Drew Kulsveen doesn't have time for bullshit. It's not something he has to tell anyone. The message shoots from his eyes like a railgun. Even at a relatively young age, it's clear he's heard it all before. He talks like someone who's lost years listening to others dribble on, and worked hard to eradicate the behavior in himself; his speech is terse, verging on curt. You can't blame him for him ignoring the noise. A lot rides on his shoulders. He and his family worked for years to rebuild the family distillery, which reopened in 2012, and now he's determined to prove a point.
High proof cocktails in the bourbon capital
Three Bourbon Cocktails, Made By a Pro
Sometimes out of the bottle with a beer is the best way to have a bourbon", admits Chef Newman Miller, owner of Harrison Smith House in Bardstown, Kentucky. But not always. The three bourbon cocktails he showed us are truly made to meet the expectations of the local Kentuckians.

Chris from Midwest Conservative Journal takes issue with me in my comments box below
He writes (with my replies interspersed):
Monogamy's not the "clear teaching of Scripture?" How do you figure?
Read the excerpt from By What Authority?. It describes how I figure.
Christ quoted Genesis 2:24 in Matthew 19:1-12 and Mark 10:1-12 and it seems pretty clear to me.
I know it does. Because you are reading it (as I did) through the lens of Sacred Tradition without realizing it. Really, read the excerpt and you'll see what I mean.
In Matthew 15:1-9, Jesus also had quite a bit to say about the excessive exaltation of anyone's religious "tradition."
Yes. I know. My book (trust me) takes those passages fully into account. It turns out that's not all Jesus has to say about Tradition. Nor is it all the apostles have to say.
We Protestants agree with you about something so we agree with Catholic tradition without admitting it?
Sometimes, yes. Though more often it's a case of agreeing with Catholic Tradition without being aware of it.
That's as valid as saying you Catholics agree with us about some matter so you agree with the Luther and Calvin without admitting it.
Umm, no. For where Luther and Calvin are teaching the Tradition correctly they are merely handing on what was already there before them. And, by the way, Luther would take issue with you about monogamy as the "clear" teaching of Scripture. He, in fact, said:
"I confess that I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict the Scripture. If a man wishes to marry more than one wife he should be asked whether he is satisfied in his conscience that he may do so in accordance with the word of God. In such a case the civil authority has nothing to do in such a matter."
Luther, by the way, was not alone in this view. John Milton, a Puritan who was no slouch in his extreme familiarity with and devotion to Scripture, likewise said that polygamy was perfectly acceptable.
Typically, at this point, my Protestant friends will say something like "Well, Protestants don't think Luther or Milton were infallible." I quite agree. And this would mean something if I were arguing they did think this. I'm not. I'm merely pointing out that serious Protestant voices who were not flakes but quite mainstream exponents of sola scriptura noticed the same thing I did: that the case for monogamy in Scripture is actually quite weak when you remove Scripture from the environment of Sacred Tradition. Happily, most Protestants don't do this and so continue (at least at present) to Teach the Right Thing. But the Unitarians are blazing the same trail that pro-contraception and then pro-abortion people have. And, like them, they will exploit the Protestant insistence on a sort of vague "scripture only" view of revelation to weaken the committment of Christians to monogamy since they will have the same success in showing that Scripture really isn't all that clear on the matter, so it's a matter of "Christian liberty". As long as there is a greater committment to an unbiblical doctrine of "scripture alone" (and this is typically fueled by a fear of getting too cozy with Catholics) than there is to preserving authentic Christian truth, Christians will be easy marks for the rats who are nibbling away at the Christian revelation. Many good Christians will attempt to resist the rats and will have hearts in the right place, but will be helpless to give a coherent account of *why* polygamy is wrong, or homosexual practice is contrary to the teaching of Christ, or (dare I say it?) contraception is likewise a sin. They will confidently point to the verses you have pointed to, and then be roundly defeated in clean combat by pro-polygamy forces who will deploy all the arguments John Milton employed, with devastating effect.
Really. Honest. The case against monogamy as the one and only form of marriage is very strong–if you buy the notion that Scripture alone is the sole source of revelation and Sacred Tradition is not a vehicle of revelation as well. There are other essential Christian teachings in danger as well. I only mentioned that one cuz the Unitarians brought it up.

2013 and earlier Nissan Altima Prices Paid and Buying Experience
I had a commitment from 3 dealerships in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul) area for a 2.5S at $17.5K as long as I closed today (June 30).
Since I live in Duluth and had a trade-in (2003 Honda Civic LX coupe with low miles), I did not relish the 2.5-hour drive to the twin cities and then negotiating the trade value, I went to my local dealership and agreed to $17.5K - $6K for the trade.
Final sales invoice said $17,998 - $6,499 = $11,499+TTL.
I saw a $75 "documentation fee" pre-printed on the invoice that got me upset. Finally, after a lot of arguing, he agreed to add another $50 to the trade. Final, after TTL and trade was $12,562 OTD.
I may have been able to do better playing the TC dealerships off, but it would have taken the rest of the day. Thanks to this forum for helping me set a good target price.
No.. you'd get to deduct the $1200 from your income.
Assume you have a taxable income of $40K and pay $10K in federal tax, and you are in the 25% bracket..
The $1200 comes off the $40K, making your taxable income $38,800, and lowering your tax to $9700..
$300 savings..
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
Ok kind Altima Coupe owners out there i have narrowed my car search to the coupe. I drove yesterday and liked better than camry and honda.
In process of getting 4 quotes from (friendly) dealers in my area, haha
SO does anyone have a strategy that works on good negotiating techniques? Is there a percentage off the sticker i can try to shoot for? I read somewhere depending on car you can get 7-22 percent off sticker,
thanks for help
Unfortunately, I have learned that one of the best times to buy a new car is right before the end of a quarter. I think some amazing deals here were made because it was June 30. Now, the dealer loses some incentives for sales in the quarter and may be slightly less anxious to deal. I am betting the time just before the Sept. 30 date would be a GREAT time for deals on 2009s.
Fitzmall Chambersburg, PA.
$1500 factory to consumer rebate
$1500 hidden factory to dealer rebate
As sales explained to me:
Dealer lost additional holdback/more to meet quota for additional sales bonus.
14 other local (DC) dealers wouldn't touch the price.
They drove it down to me, and it was nice and painless.
Ha.. When I took over my mother's finances a couple of years ago, I found she hadn't filed since 2004.. and, couldn't find any records..
Only took a year to sort all that out... Now, just don't get me started on the Social Security Administration.. :mad:

spazvt Posts: 5Current deals for the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, plus some Chicago for an Altima 2.5S with Splash Guards and Floor Mats (standard):
Current rebates: $1,500 July, $500 until July 8th, $500 College Grad, $4,500 CFC/CARS. $179 state inspection required for all new cars (I hear).
Current initial internet offers (not including rebates and inspection, but includes splash guards and floor mats):
Rosen (Brown Deer) - $20,320
Boucher Waukesha - $20,131 ($21,067 with Convenience Package)
Boucher West Allis - $20,546
Russ Darrow (Brown Deer) - $19,914
M'Lady (Crystal Lake, IL) - $19,431
McGrath (Elgin, IL) - $19,611
I asked several of them if they were participating in the C.A.R.S. program right now and only Russ Darrow is; all the others are waiting until July 24th to start making deals. So for most of them, I won't be able to combine Cash for Clunkers with the $500 July 8th rebate.
So I'm planning to offer $19,000 - $1,500 - $500 - $500 - $4,500 = $12,000 plus Tax, Title, Registration and see if I can get that deal from one of the dealers willing to make C.A.R.S. sales this week.
Think you need to read up on leasing before you jump into one. You NEVER put $5000 down on a lease. $3735 in taxes? Even in a state like NY where they make you pay the full tax amount on a lease it wouldn't be that high. Using your selling price figure that calculates to over 13% in tax. This deal just feels bad.
Perfect explanation from leasecompare.com:
Because you pay for the use of a vehicle during a lease, you should put as little money down as possible, up front. Although putting money down can lower your lease payments (by reducing your capitalized cost) in most cases it cannot be regained in the event of early termination due to a loss.
For example, a customer once leased a Toyota 4Runner and put $3,000 down as a cap reduction. Five months later the vehicle was totaled in an accident. The client's insurance paid its portion of the lease payoff and Gap Insurance paid the balance. Our client walked away with only paying his insurance deductible but he did not get reimbursed for his initial down payment of $3,000. It was lost.
The moral of this true story is to put as little money down as possible,ideally no money down. Here are some other things to consider:
- Money down is taxable
- Take the money you would have put down and invest it
- Put your down payment in a savings account and use a portion each month to help make your lease payment
I am planning to buy a 2.5 S (Precision Grey) and my best dealer quote in this area (Binghamton, NY) is 21,040 OTD (after 1500 rebate, College Grad rebate and dealer discouts).Could any one give me a heads up so as how much to ask for. I am really not sure of the current price trends and any help would be greatly appreciated.
MSRP of $22,685
I'm in NY as well and I picked up a 2.5S CVT for $19700 OTD yesterday. This was from Hudson Nissan in NJ. No NY dealer could match it. Heck one dealer told me to go and try to get it in NJ.
The best quote that I was able to get was from FitzMall in PA, at $19500 OTD. But it was a 4.5 hour drive one way.

The Clean Cut: Put down your phone, pick up your child
DTAC YouTube screenshot
A touching Thai commercial has garnered millions of views on YouTube. Similar to other popular commercials produced in Thailand recently, this advertisement by the Thailand mobile phone provider DTAC teaches an important life lesson instead of simply pitching a product.
Referred to as "the power of love," the video begins with a father watching his newborn baby while the mother is grocery shopping. Tension quickly rises as the baby begins to cry and the father seems unsure of what to do.
He pulls out his phone to call his wife to ask what he can do to help their child. He tries showing a funny video and even video chatting with his wife, but nothing the phone does seems to help. He then decides to put down his phone and pick up his baby. This action calms the crying infant.
In the video description on YouTube, DTAC states that while we live in a world where mobile devices solve many problems, "this commercial recalls the one thing that drives our life forward," according to the English translation.
The video was posted June 30 and had more than 7 million views at the time of this publication.

Tempe recently paid $3,800 so employees could attend a luncheon where Councilman Ben Arredondo picked up a community service award, an expense coming at a time when the city may be facing a multimillion dollar budget shortfall.
The Valle del Sol Profiles of Success Hispanic Leadership Awards Celebration, held on Sept. 5 in Phoenix, is just one of many events attended by Tempe officials and staffers. In a typical year, more than $50,000 is set aside for banquets and luncheons, city spokeswoman Nikki Ripley said.
These expenses are under examination while the city scrambles to find more than $2.7 million to take care of financial liabilities that appeared soon after the fiscal year began in July. Even more, the first two months of sales tax revenues collected were down nearly 10 percent from the same period last year, leading city officials to warn of a deficit that could grow to $7 million.
While Arredondo said cuts need to be made, with nothing sacred, he was unwilling to specifically put the banquet budget on the chopping block. Instead, he said he would defer to city staff's suggestions.
Arredondo refused to answer when asked whether it was appropriate for the city to spend thousands of dollars so staff members could attend his award luncheon.
City Manager Charlie Meyer, who attended the luncheon, did say such spending was worthy of examination.
"We need to be looking at everything, including the events the city participates in," Meyer said.
The City Council, during its meeting tonight, was slated to discuss discretionary spending.
Community Relations Manager Shelly Hearn controls the $22,000 used by council members and top city staffers for banquets and luncheons. Due to the budget crunch, changes are being made in how that money is spent, she said.
"From this point forward ... I intend to only purchase seats for council members who are interested or available rather than purchase a table up front and try to fill it," Hearn said.
According to Hearn, 37 city employees attended the Valle del Sol luncheon at the Phoenix Convention Center. Workers had the option of staying for a post-luncheon reception, although they would have to file for vacation time; two employees did so, Hearn said.
The expenditures by department broke down as: $1,800 from Diversity; $1,000 from Community Relations; $500 from Parks and Recreation; and $500 from Community Services.
Also purchasing tables at $1,000 each, Hearn said, were Arredondo, the city's firefighter and police unions, and the Service Employees International Union. In addition, an unknown benefactor paid for a table in the name of the Tempe Community Council.
Arredondo was one of 10 people honored by Valle del Sol for their contributions to the Hispanic community. The organization says this event is its primary fundraiser for its behavioral health, human service and leadership development programs.
"I'm very proud of the award," Arredondo said.

the recommended items bar at the top of the shop is cool for newer players but really dosent see THAT much use when people get a better understanding of their champions nad want to start using different item builds. its a great feature, but it isnt as well used when people make builds more to their style.
played a game of DOTA 2 and while i think there is a lot that LOL has that is better, i actually like the ability to create builds to suit yourself and then call them back up. this might be a idea to implement and put that item bar to better use. just please, make it so that you can do i BEFORE a game.
it would be a nice feature to implement and i hope it gets in. thanks!

Listening for the second time right now. It's so beautiful- the vocals are beautiful, the guitar layers and distortion are beautiful, and the production is fantastic
I think I've listened to it a dozen times or so now. It is really very good. I like especially how the first three tracks almost seem to be a continuation of Loveless, before drifting into new-ish territory with 'is this and yes.'

Can't wait to hear it. Loveless was a gift to us mortals- was a bit disappointed when Pitchfork kicked it out of 1st place for the most important album of the 90's.

Incredible guitar tone on this album...I could listen to Only Tomorrow for hours, just soaking in that rich, warm, heavily distorted guitar tone. Just incredible. I wish all recorded electric guitars sounded like this!

I could sort of see booting Loveless for OK Computer, but I really love both, and this album as well.

Macon...Yes, the fault does seem to be McRory's. Macon clearly does have a passion for poetry and for bringing it to the community. Her work for the homeless and her obvious commitment to self-expression for all make her an admirable person. Also, I don't like the way many "academic" poets (in this country too) look down their noses at those who get there by more adventurous ways.

Still, poetry is not only self-expression,is it? We are also trying to make works of art, Heaven help us! It does seem to me that a poet laureate should be, among other things, someone who has attained some distinction in that respect.

Ms Macon seems to have conducted herself with honesty and dignity. Evidently some other poets have failed in kindness. And I'm not sure that Mr McCrory is an expert on poetry.

(That being said, i am a bit snobby myself - I think having poets laureate for every State, and holding office for only 12 months, is rather odd. Then again, it's probably never going to happen in Australia and we may well be the poorer for it.)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348820.post-64919488420398992222014-07-18T23:02:20.810-04:002014-07-18T23:02:20.810-04:00OMG, Karen, you have just about taken me to church...OMG, Karen, you have just about taken me to church and given me the Holy Ghost with this statement: "The question should not be whether Macon, or any writer, has paid dues (however that is defined), but rather has a writer established herself/himself as someone wholly committed to fostering the arts across every conceivable boundary. In short, has the person acted as a laureate without having the title?"

this is such an articulate way to question the appointment. Collin knows i'm outdone with the mean-spirited way many poets have chosen to question Valerie Macon's credentials. it just wasn't necessary. but what you bring up here is one of the real issues that folks should have. that fact that this is not the kind of language they are using makes me smell a lot of hateration batspit in the mix. thank you so much for saying this *the way* you said it. it really matters to me how we (self-defining poets) treat one another.BLUEhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348820.post-81761118115704160802014-07-17T18:58:33.448-04:002014-07-17T18:58:33.448-04:00I blogged about this today as well, and I know the...I blogged about this today as well, and I know the accepted "career" of the poet will always be a bone of contention, but I think we have to find some way to measure receiving an honor.
. We won't ever all agree on the criteria.

This morning I was reading about his disdain for gender studies.

The governor surely had his staff dig around to see if they could find a Republican or conservative poet and they picked Macon. Should she be the poet laureate? Probably not, but the nasty reaction by fellow poets against Macon personally is what really pissed me off. She didn't ask for the appointment and rather than tearing her apart, they should - as Kay Byers has done - reach to Macon and offer their assistance. It could be a transformative experience for all involved.

Laureates traditionally have held the important role of outreach for their communities (including constituencies from every part of that community) and for arts education initiatives (this has become especially true as K-12 schools have dropped arts education). I would have no problem with someone like you being named a laureate precisely because your dedication to the arts has been long-standing. You have for many, many years selflessly dedicated yourself to almost every community--young people engaged in Poetry Out Loud, older people exploring the arts in late life, community groups attached to public libraries, queer writers of all ages, minority writers, as well as serving on the boards of Poetry Atlanta, AQLF, and the Georgia Center for the book. You have tirelessly offered to read manuscripts and hold readings--both in your local community and world-wide--usually without any acclaim and certainly without any renumeration. The question should not be whether Macon, or any writer, has paid dues (however that is defined), but rather has a writer established herself/himself as someone wholly committed to fostering the arts across every conceivable boundary. In short, has the person acted as a laureate without having the title?

Just my two cents.Karen Headhttp://email@example.com

Inept, incompetent staff at the local branch; policies that inhibit being able to access MY money at MY convenience; and poor hiring practices that result in having to deal with employees with limited English proficiency and poor grasp of the language. Interaction with any service workers illustrates the rapid decline of intelligence in the U.S., but it is especially unacceptable in an institution charged with protecting my money. CHASE is already at the top of the list for banks set to fail; they need our money much more than we need them. It is inexcusable to for executives to perpetuate the banks' decline. No doubt, they are counting that campaign contributions will ensure yet another bailout and perpetuate the insidious practice of shifting blame from personal accountability.
I have been with chase for years and it is getting horrible by the day! When you call customer service you get a foreigner that you can't understand,and the one who you can understand are not helpful. I can't lie there was a guy in the past that was awesome. But everyone else sucks. This year I have racked up more than $400 in fees and it's only been 6 months. A direct deposit of more than $1000.00 was going in every week. I know that's chump change for you guys. But I'm taking my direct deposit to navy federal. It's sad because I really liked this bank that's why I stuck around for the last 5 years.
Ok, let me start out by saying "i really had chase bank". I tried to put cash into sons checking account today. I had cash so it would available to him without having to wait. After waiting 15 minutes in line because they only had one teller open i learned that because my name was not on his account they would not let me deposit my money. I explained to her that i was trying to put money in his account, not trying to take it out. She said unless my name was on his account i could not do it. I asked her how i was supposed to get money down to him if i could not deposit into his account. She told me that as of march 3rd it was company policy not to let people deposit money if their name was not on the account. They are trying to prevent "money laundering". So according to chase bank i could be laundering money $100. 00 at a time. So what we have to do is have my wife put the cash into her chase account and then she can transfer it to sons account. That's twice the work and headache to get to the same outcome. Come on chase get your head out of your ass.

Hair Salon reviews in Temperance
I have been going to this I made an appointment for my daughter to have a facial with Ally and she loved it. I also had a
Worse haircut I have ever had. I was butchered on top and have had to wear a hat everywhere I go for the past week and half and it looks no better so far. Even my husband said he couldn't tell me it wasn't bad without lying to me. People that I have let see it are appalled. The girl that did it didn't seem to concerned and she has done my hair at least four times before which were ok, not great but ok. I have found it very hard to find anyone who cares and is consistent in what they do. I was actually told that my hair grows fairly fast so should look ok in a couple weeks. The girl that is the trainer/manager looked at it and had the other girl shape it up more but it didn't help. Where is the customer service and professionalism??
I have been going to ichibahn for a year or so for eyebrow waxing. I love No complaints, I love this place!
I've had shoulder length hair for the last 15 years and since moving to FL decided it was time to go short again. I'm not good with fussing with my hair and needed a style that I could deal with. of love and she banded it and packaged it for me to send to them. Since then I have gone back to
It took years to find someone who could cut my hair in a style that would work with my "cow-licky", curly, extremely thick hair. Now, even 6 weeks after the cut, my hair still looks nice and is easy to manage.
the coloring part went well.....a little scary though as one of the other stylist had her two dogs there, one of which promptly bit the leg of the guy coming in their door to change the drinking water bottle. I was sitting with color on my head while they attended to this guy's wound. I clearly came in with more of a "bobbed" style cut, left with several hacked layers, the back of my hair is a disaster! I specifically asked not to have layers. Then the stylist told me my old cut made me look old and I ended up with feathery wings and her trying to get my hair to conform to something it was not going to do.she knew I was not happy and stated that maybe I will like it in a few weeks. Wow. I have baby fine hair and all of these hack

We Need a Law to Protect Pregnant Prisoners—and Not Just from Shackling
Last week, Gov. Deval Patrick filed emergency regulations, good for 90 days, to stop shackling pregnant prisoners. It's a good first step, but it's not enough.
Michelle Montoya was incarcerated at MCI-Framingham in 2004 when her water broke at 3 a.m. In an interview, she said she discovered her pregnancy through a urine test at the Health Services Unit (HSU)—"You're as pregnant as you're ever going to be," a nurse told her—but then, it took a month and a half to schedule an ultrasound at a Worcester hospital. Montoya said every test—diabetes, Spina Bifida—was late, and she worried about the health of her child.
The day of the birth, Montoya made it to HSU on her own, and while in early labor, was shackled to a stretcher with one leg chain and one handcuff and transported to the hospital, where she was shackled to the delivery bed for 18 hours. During the birth, the doctor insisted the corrections officer (CO) remove the shackles from her ankles, and thankfully, her son was born healthy. Twenty-eight hours after she entered the hospital, the baby left with his father and Montoya's mother, and Montoya was readied to go back to the prison—waist chained, and wearing handcuffs and ankle shackles.
Unlike Montoya, Kenzie, who requested to be identified only by her first name, received nutritional counseling and prenatal help from a doula at the Hampden County Women's Correctional Facility in Chicopee. But she was similarly shackled the day of the birth, and in her case, she arrived at the hospital only 11 minutes before her child was born. "No one believed I was in labor because I wasn't hysterical and screaming," she said in an interview. She said that after giving birth, she showered while still wearing the shackles, with a female corrections officer "embarrassingly, inside the shower area, watching." Kenzie was in the hospital for two days—shackled to the bed with cuffs on her wrist and ankle. "I was not allowed to leave that room."
Experiences like these are why we need a law for consistent practices for pregnant prisoners across Massachusetts. "There is a growing consensus in the federal courts and among medical, legal, and human rights organizations that shackling pregnant women is unsafe, unnecessary, and inhumane," said Rachel Roth, a Massachusetts reproductive justice scholar. The American Medical Association, the American Public Health Association, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists all oppose such restraints, which interfere with doctor care of both mother and newborn.
While shackling is the most barbaric of tactics and is now banned by law in 18 states, it is only part of the story of what pregnant women behind bars face in Massachusetts in 2014. Right now, pregnant prisoners cannot be assured of what kind of treatment they'll receive from institution to institution. Roth said that Massachusetts has a "patchwork of policies," and prenatal and postpartum care, as well as some measure of privacy during physical examinations, labor, and childbirth can depend on the whim of the institution or individual CO.
The Legislature is now working through a bill that would ensure consistency, a bill that's actually been kicking around for more than a decade. Filed by Sen. Karen Spilka and others, the bill is now called An Act to Prevent Shackling and Promote Healthy Pregnancies, and was advanced last week by the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Public Safety. Now in the Senate Ways and Means, the bill got a push when Gov. Deval Patrick filed emergency regulations for 90 days to stop shackling practices. That was a good first move, but those regulations will expire and they do not address care of a pregnant woman and her child.
Gavi Wolfe, legislative counsel of the ACLU of Massachusetts, said via email that the whole package called for in the bill is critical to healthy pregnancies. In addition to clear limits on shackling, it 'Äú'Ķ would require that pregnant women be transported safely in vehicles with seatbelts, guarantee adequate nutrition during pregnancy, ensure proper medical care for high-risk pregnancies and addiction, and prohibit isolation of postpartum prisoners."
Wolfe said that while the governor's emergency regulation is important, "… a statute is necessary for Massachusetts to make a permanent, definitive statement of public policy that can't easily be reversed by a future governor. … Further, legislation can—and must—make additional reforms that the governor cannot accomplish alone using his regulatory authority."
If the Legislature fails to sign this bill into law, women like Michelle Montoya and Kenzie may continue to face unhealthy pregnancies. Then Patrick's hopeful comment from a recent speech at a MassInc forum—"regulation is good but here law would be better"—will become just a footnote on changes that are already taking way too long.

The TPH2 gene encodes the enzyme responsible for serotonin (5-HT) synthesis in the Central Nervous System (CNS). Stereotypic and repetitive behaviors are influenced by 5-HT, and initial studies report an association of TPH2 alleles with childhood-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and with autism. GLO1 encodes glyoxalase I, the enzyme which detoxifies α-oxoaldehydes such as methylglyoxal in all living cells. The A111E GLO1 protein variant, encoded by SNP C419A, was identifed in autopsied autistic brains and proposed to act as an autism susceptibility factor. Hyperserotoninemia, macrocephaly, and peptiduria represent some of the best-characterized endophenotypes in autism research.
Family-based and case-control association studies were performed on clinical samples drawn from 312 simplex and 29 multiplex families including 371 non-syndromic autistic patients and 156 unaffected siblings, as well as on 171 controls. TPH2 SNPs rs4570625 and rs4565946 were genotyped using the TaqMan assay; GLO1 SNP C419A was genotyped by PCR and allele-specific restriction digest. Family-based association analyses were performed by TDT and FBAT, case-control by χ2, endophenotypic analyses for 5-HT blood levels, cranial circumference and urinary peptide excretion rates by ANOVA and FBAT.
TPH2 alleles and haplotypes are not significantly associated in our sample with autism (rs4570625: TDT P = 0.27, and FBAT P = 0.35; rs4565946: TDT P = 0.45, and FBAT P = 0.55; haplotype P = 0.84), with any endophenotype, or with the presence/absence of prominent repetitive and stereotyped behaviors (motor stereotypies: P = 0.81 and 0.84, verbal stereotypies: P = 0.38 and 0.73 for rs4570625 and rs4565946, respectively). Also GLO1 alleles display no association with autism (191 patients vs 171 controls, P = 0.36; TDT P = 0.79, and FBAT P = 0.37), but unaffected siblings seemingly carry a protective gene variant marked by the A419 allele (TDT P < 0.05; patients vs unaffected siblings TDT and FBAT P < 0.00001).
TPH2 gene variants are unlikely to contribute to autism or to the presence/absence of prominent repetitive behaviors in our sample, although an influence on the intensity of these behaviors in autism cannot be excluded. GLO1 gene variants do not confer autism vulnerability in this sample, but allele A419 apparently carries a protective effect, spurring interest into functional correlates of the C419A SNP.

2004 Ford F-150 • 112,000 miles
My truck makes a ratcheting sound when accelerating in 2wd. I put it into 4wd, it stops. I am aware of IWE and solenoid issues. However, my truck is a manual shift 4wd. (No button. Must shift lever into 4wd) If I go into 4wd, then back into 2wd, the noise will subside for a very short period, then return. Almost sounds like a hub trying to engage. Even though the 4wd is manual shift, are there still vacuum lines to engage the hubs? This truck doesn't have a push button, a solenoid, ect. It is all direct shift.
The truck has a 5.4 with automatic tranny.

I know somebody that works at the ford dealership & he said that they keep them hubs in stock because those year model trucks has a problem with the hubs locking in by thereself while your driving it. He said there always coming in with them problems.

Penn a "libertarian" advocating for no choice?..
Submitted by libertad101 on Mon, 02/03/2014 - 16:57. Permalink
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfqpZqEP6gg&sns=em it's funny how Penn has to go "full establishment" on this issue and on 9 1 1 truth.
Watch Ben Swan he really clears up the vaccination issue.
Deep down everyone is Libertarian.
Live and Let Live, form of government.
