Ford officially confirms China's Geely as preferred bidder for Volvo
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Oct 28th, 2009 at 12:58PM
It's been rumored for months Chinese automaker Geely had the best shot at picking up the Volvo brand from Ford, and today, Dearborn has finally confirmed it. Geely was named as the preferred bidder this morning and the Blue Oval is proceeding with negotiations. However, this is not going to be an easy deal to close. Ford doesn't want to keep any stake in the Swedish company, although it does hope to continue some product cooperation. In spite of the lack of shareholding, Ford doesn't want Volvo to wither on the vine and wants whoever buys it to have the resources to make it a going... Read More

BLADENSBURG, Md. - A memorial commemorating the Battle of Bladensburg is nearly complete, and supporters hope it will soon be installed in Prince George's County.
The Washington Post reports ( http://wapo.st/106RaU3) that the 8-by-10-foot panel is done and will soon go to Pennsylvania, where a mold will be made and it'll be cast in bronze.
The sculpture was designed by Joanna Blake, who says the battle "galvanized the nation" during the War of 1812. Though American forces lost the battle to the British, they were victorious weeks later in Baltimore.
The sculpture shows an unnamed Marine, a wounded American commodore and a former slave who served in the commodore's flotilla.
Supporters hope it'll be installed in August, around the time of the battle's 199th anniversary, in Balloon Park near Bladensburg.

Your Dinner Dilemmas, Solved
We all know that gut-wrenching feeling: Youre preparing the perfect meal when you realize youre missing an ingredient or misread the recipe. Luckily, there are easy fixes to common blunders, which means your mistake can be your little secret. Next time you mess-up in the kitchen, try one of these 11 solutions to turn your cooking catastrophe into a delicious dinner.
By Julie Seguss
You misread the measurement and your soup or gravy is too salty.
If you have a raw potato, toss it into the soup and let it absorb the salt. You can remove the potato after the soup is done cooking. McKeller suggests keeping boil-in-a-bag rice on hand for this scenario. Puree cooked rice with a few tablespoons of water and mix with the gravy. "The rice will serve as a thickener and absorb that extra salt," she says.

Have you seen the documentary Bill Cunningham New York? She is featured in it. It is a wonderful and heartwarming doc. Definitely see it if you have some time.
So funny! And yes, she looks stunning. =)
Amazing.. I've never heard of her either, but that is one stylish lady
Wow! love her style!
She is one bold lady. The Bill Cunningham documentary is great, you must see it!
I've heard of her. She's amazing!
I love her!
Watch this video on her, it's so inspirational!
I hope you enjoy the video!
I hope I can still have style like hers when I'm her age!!! what an inspiration.
oh goodness!! i never knew her by name but she is famous for her glasses!!! love her! i hope i can be as fabulous as she is....now and when im 90 :)
love love this!
This was amazing. Made my morning! "You have to be a moron to not be able to put on lipstick", cracking up!
I would love to go to lunch with her too! Think of all the great fashion stories she has!
i love it!
my step-grandmother is 92 and had a long career as a hair stylist.
though she may not be as fashionable as this woman, she still, to this day, get's Harper's Bazaar magazine in the mail.
it's so cute.
oh my..she is beautiful :)
totally adore her! I live near Palm Beach so she's totally a fashion rockstar, icon here. There's even a traveling museum exhibit in her honor.
I LOVE her! So much so that I named my daughter Iris! :)
I must be out of the loop too, but now I have so much hope for a fashionable future! Sass and style are definitely limitless. Love. And great idea, Sydnesy...Iris, I'll take you out to lunch too!

Fashionable has no age limit!! LOVE
she looks so fun!
I lost much respect for her after reading an interview she did making fun of ugly and fat people. Being ugly on the inside is much worse than being physically ugly or fat. I would never want to meet this lady.
"'It seems that the fatter and uglier people are, the fewer clothes they wear. The shorts and flip-flops and tight jeans on butts that go from here to Poughkeepsie. I always say they should put people in jail for wearing clothes like that. Especially stretch jeans over [US] size 10 - they should be outlawed. Ten years ago people were starting to look like slobs in New York, now it's an epidemic."
Not that she would ever intervene on a bad case of misjudged style. 'Oh, now that would be horrible. It's a free country - if you want to look like a freak, that's your problem.'"
Wow... I was going to comment and say how awesome she seemed, until I read Megan's comment. Now I think she sounds like a very ugly woman on the inside.
Oh my word! She reminds me of my grandmother! She isn't 90 yet but she has always been hip and stylish :)
She's absolutely amazing and her place in New York is to die for!
She is so fabulous! I only hope to have her sense of fashion and wonderfulness at her age!
Her name is so fitting to her!! She'd love to go to lunch with you I just know it!!
Enter into my ruche GIVEAWAY all you Sydney fashionistas!
She's amazing*-*
Girl likes some accessories! Shes adorable...and definitely a fashion inspiration!
Wow she is fabulous!!! Id love to have that much sassy-ness at 90 :)
Yes! I love her! I hope I look that good when I'm 90!
Oh my word, this woman is fabulous! I adore her!
Don't you dare take her to lunch without me! I want to know what makes this chic tick!
I read an interview she gave and she was just so inspiring! And I love the fact she thinkd more is more and isn't afraid of colour.
I love how she plays on her age and looks with contrasting colors and gemetric shapes. Totally beautiful and impressive!
Material Fixations
female harry carey? in the most loving way possible! It's the glasses that get me.
She looks adorable, if I had grandmas left, I'd want them to be like her. adore!
Thanks for sharing, sydney!
If only we can all have her style and spunk when we are 90!!!
Oh she is just wonderful! And wise! Great article. I think I would like to go to lunch with her. :)
Ever since I saw this blog post at Sea of Shoes comparing Iris's jewelry line at HSN with a practically identical, earlier piece from another jeweler, I lost respect for her. Check out the comparison images, they are almost exactly the same. http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/sea_of_shoes/2011/05/dissapointed.html
loooooved the article!!! she's fantastic!
How could anyone not? She has impeccable taste. AND she's 90!!!! What I wouldn't do for those glasses!!!
LOVE her!! And being 90 and the latest inspiration for MAC makeup! I wish I was this cool now!
She is pretty fantastic!
I hope to be that kickin at 90! She is lovely :)
this would probably be the best lunch date ever! love it!
xo TJ
love ladies who don't let age determine their quality of life! I know a lady in her 90s who acts about 65! You would never know! Def something to look up to and realize you should never stop living life regardless of age!
OMG, I adore her. She's so cool.
She is proof that you don't need to start shopping at the old lady store when you get older.
i love her <3

"Guaranteed" Success with A1CWise (with a Trial-Plan Giveaway)
As a person with type 1 diabetes who's been trying to lose weight for as long as I can remember, one of the things I often hear from other PWDs is that it takes twice as long to lose weight with diabetes as it does without. Now, I've checked with my expert sources and they tell me that isn't true, but that doesn't mean losing weight with diabetes is a walk in the park. Jessica…Read more »

It's that time of the year again! Everyone is jolly (well almost everyone) and the air is filled with holiday cheers from coast to coast. Some families may be visiting relatives this holiday season and have to travel coast to coast. These holiday travelers will probably take to the air to complete their family visits this Christmas season. For the rest of us, we will be loading up in the family car, SUV, or the mini van. Keeping the kids happy and calm on these long holiday trips can be challenging at times. Most parents already know what they are in store for, but how many are going to try and help the children stay happy this year?
I think letting your child have an early Christmas present this year, might just do the trick. A gift they can take along for one of these long rides to Grandma's house. There are a lot of good gifts for children in the traveling department. Depending on your price range, you should be able to get a couple of these items to help out on the holiday trip this year. If you really want to make the kids happy, so they can have that happy face on for the relatives, check out the Sony psp for a travel toy this year. This item is basically a Playstation, but its a portable Playstation, so its perfect to bring on the road. You can give the portable gaming system to your child now and then on Christmas Day, you can let Santa bring a few new games for this mini version of the popular Playstation system.
Overall, there really isn't any magical way of keeping the kids happy the whole time. If Mom and Dad can get a little creative now and think of a few surprises to hand out along the way, I think they might just have the best family trip ever. Especially if one of those surprises, turns out to be a Sony PSP gaming console.
Please enjoy this precious family time with your children this year. These are the things our kids will remember decades from now and so will you! Don't forget to buckle up and drive safe. I wish everyone a happy, safe, and healthy Christmas in 2010!

Creative Visualization – Key to Manifesting
Creative visualization is a great manifesting technique used by successful business people, athletes, actors and people who deeply desire to change their life.
While many attribute this technique to the "new thought" movement and in particular to Wallace Wattles, the technique is not new at all. As long as man has been able to conceive an image in the mind for a preference not yet realized, there has been creative visualization. Even all forms of prayer for a desired outcome are based first in visualizing the new desire.
For visualization be the most effective you should practice the technique daily and often throughout the day if possible. A good starting practice is to do your visualization at the end of your day and right before you sleep for the night. This is because as you get ready to sleep you become relaxed, focus more easily and have less distraction.
The next best time is when you first wake. Keep your mind clear of the coming day events and spend a few minutes replaying your vision in your mind. As you go throughout your day, try to recall your vision several times each day.
When you do stop what you are doing and play with your vision if only for a minute or two.
If you are having difficulty relaxing and clearing your mind of unwanted thoughts, you are going to want to develop your ability to quickly get into a meditative state.
A meditative state is where you consciously relax your body and mind. Practicing meditation will bring additional benefits to you in terms of increased awareness, focus, and concentration. The most beneficial to you will be your ability to remove obstructive, negative and wandering thoughts. This will help your creative visualization tremendously by clearing the mind of debris and prepares it for a higher quality of visualization activity.
I have practiced and experimented with multiple meditative visualization techniques and have developed my own hybrid version that produces great results. This process has been a key to my manifesting and is part of my daily routine. If you are needing a boost to manifesting your goals, start practicing this process making it a part of your daily routine. Stay tuned as I will cover more on this important topic and my exact technique for creative visualization in upcoming posts.
"You were created from thought and from thought you create"

Modern Bee: How to Start a Quilting Bee
one right now. (Not to be confused with the Virtual Quilting Bee which is open to anyone.) It has been such a great way to try and learn new blocks, techniques, and skills, not to mention build real-life friendships with other women who share the same love for this hobby.

Lindsay has written a wonderful book documenting her experience with 11 other modern quilters and their year of creating quilts as part of a Modern Quilting Bee. Throughout the book Lindsay gives practical advice about how to start your own Bee and how to run it most efficiently.
Lindsay has put together a fun gift bag filled with sewing goodies from Coats and Clark, FreeSpirit Fabrics, Olfa, Pellon and Timeless Treasures! To Enter, complete the Rafflecopter form for your chance to win.a Rafflecopter giveaway *Winner will be randomly selected after October 18, 2013 from all comments received. If the winner lives outside of the U.S., they'll win a Modern Bee e-Book of instead of the gift bag.

I have never been part of a bee before. It looks like a lot of fun though. Right now I am working on a really cute ruffle quilt!ReplyDelete
I am part of a small quilt group and we have been doing projects that one person organizes, brings all the fabric cut out and then everyone makes the same block. Right now I am working on a Wizard costume for my grandson (Halloween is soon here). Thanks for the awesome giveaway.ReplyDelete
What a fun idea! I haven't ever done a quilting bee before either but how fun would that be!ReplyDelete
Ive participated in one bee... it was not the best because the members were not fully engaged. I'm going to try again in Jan. hopefully it will be a better experience because it sounds like so much fun!ReplyDelete
Book looks great. And a virtual quilting bee sounds like a lo of fun!ReplyDelete
I never participated in a bee, but the idea appeals to me, sew many different blocks instead of 20 or 30 of the same.ReplyDelete
Bee swaps sound like so much fun! We are just forming a Modern Quilt Guild (tonight is our first meeting!) and I think a swap is something we should try this year! I would love to win- thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
This book looks great! I love the idea of starting a quilting bee. Thanks for your review!ReplyDelete

What a great idea for a book! I'm like the Lone Quilter, because I don't really know anyone else who quilts "in real life," only those I've connected with on the Internet. There's a group of quilters at my church, but they are all MUCH older than me and they just sew tons of squares of whatever fabric is donated into quilts that they donate to charity -- a worthy endeavor, for sure, but there's no artistry involved and it's hard to find common ground with people who are twice as old as you are. I know that certain parts of the country have more of an art community than others and that there are more younger quilters in those places. Sometimes I wonder how many other "closet quilters" are stitching away by themselves in Charlotte, NC besides me!ReplyDelete
This is a really interesting post and I will be interested to read the book! As a quilter with no friends or family close who quilt, I very often feel quite alone in my trials and triumphs.ReplyDelete
I would love to join a bee but are my sewing skills up to par? Some bees do AMAZING things. Maybe I am doubting myself :-)ReplyDelete

Although I have not participated in a Quilting Bee before I have participated in quilt alongs. I'm not sure if they're the same or not, but they sure are fun!ReplyDelete
I never been part of a bee but it would be interesting to do one.ReplyDelete
Great Idea - I have never been in a "Quilting Bee" before - however I am doing the Tula Pink Quilt-a-long online. It would be interesting to find out more :-)ReplyDelete
i've done several round robin type challenges with a mini group, but not a specific quilting bee.ReplyDelete
I just bought this book at a sewing expo and I can't wait to find and join my first bee. I love all of the bright patterns the book provides as well. Great resource!ReplyDelete
Love this book! All of my current projects would require starting my own blog to list them all. I love your blog and love learning as much as I can! Thanks for a chance to win :)ReplyDelete
I am still fairly new to quilting so I have never been in a Bee, but maybe in the future, once I feel more confident in my skills.ReplyDelete
I've been sewing with the same girls for 10 years and we still love to quilt together.ReplyDelete
I am doing the Virtual Quilting Bee. Love the blocks. Hoping to get some backlog done soon.ReplyDelete
Would love to be apart of a real life bee!
I was invited to be part of a bee, but turned it down because one woman in the group was a super-perfectionist and I knew my work would never live up to her standards. I would love to find a group with who were more forgiving!ReplyDelete
I belong to a community quilting group that meets once a week but we haven't collaborated on a quilt since I've been in the group. I did sew some blocks for some charity quilts for women's shelters in Grand Rapids, Michigan but I'll probably never see the finished product. I think it would be fun to 'Bee'!ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your great infomation. I want to join a bee someday - sounds like so much fun!ReplyDelete
I've never joined a bee but it sounds awesome. Currently working on a baby quilt and planning xmas gifts.ReplyDelete
I am dying to try a quilting bee! I'm on the waiting list for one, and in the process of trying to find more to join! I've been slow to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm fully ready to commit now. This book looks awesome!ReplyDelete
I have not been able to join a sewing or quilting bee yet. I just retired, but live out in the country. I did survey my friends and family to see who sews and who wants to sew. May get into a block sway or pin cushion swap or something fun.ReplyDelete

I don't or haven't ever been in an actual quilting bee. I remember as a kid going to one, but we moved to South Texas from Alabama and they didn't have them where we lived in Texas. I LOVE sewing and embroidering. I do a lot of crafts and make handbags using my own patterns. I do piece quilts, but haven't been at it long, so I am still considered a beginner even though I do have a nice fabric stash. I wold love to win and I appreciate the chance to win. Thank you so much!ReplyDelete

Thank you for this post. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book by Lindsay Conner! Besides, being in the Virtual Quilting Bee, I just finished the assembling of a top from a BLOCK SWAP called Butterflies in a Garden (http://debi-peacebypiece.blogspot.com/2013/10/butterflies-in-garden-fenced-in.html). Receiving blocks from all over the world was exciting, & putting them together was easy, but my challenge was to finish off the garden with my own picket fence border. The corner blocks were most challenging. I hope to quilt it with flitting butterflies.ReplyDelete
Most of all, I'm a Quilting newbie and with a couple of other ladies, we've started a quilting DAY each month to encourage each other. This book will be awesome for a group starting point. Thanks again!

Questions for Canadian owners
Hi everyone,
I have been reading these boards for over 3 years now, learning everything I can about DVC for the day that I am ready to purchase. I am so close to being able to post what is being submitted for ROFR (just want to wait until all the paperwork is submitted)
So I have a couple of questions for the Canadian owners out there:
1. What is the most efficient and economical (keeping in mind exchange rates) way that you have found to pay your yearly maintenance fees?
2. How do you manage the payments you receive for points you have rented out, again taking advantage of good exchange rates?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello fellow Canuck! We have been DVC owners for just over a year.
In terms of the dues, since we are in Canada, we don't have the option of paying monthly (unless you have a U.S. bank account). So we suck it up and use our American visa to pay the full amount in january and pay it off as soon as the bill comes in. Since the exchange rate is out of our control, we just roll with the punches. But we've only been members for a year, so the rate has been pretty much at par since we bought.
We have not rented out points, and don't really plan to other than to close friends and family, so can't help you out with that one.

One possibility is to set up a US Bank account in the US (setting one up a US$ account in Canada won't work), then have a PayPal account tied to your US bank account. Then you can use any of your rentals (in US$) to deposit into your US bank account from which you can pay your MF.
I haven't actually done this myself yet as the only time I'm in the US is to go to WDW so don't have time to visit a bank.
Is this cheaper than paying the exchange rates, guess it would depend on how much your MF fees are!
If you do find a cheaper way though, let me know

I believe there are a number of foreign owners that open a checking account at the SunTrust bank near Downtown Disney. They can then fund that account with the necessary funds to cover the annual dues which could then be setup for monthly payments since it's a US based bank.

We have been members for almost 2 years and have had 1 maintenance fee bill to date. We used our visa card (and earned our travel points). I actually made the payment in December before our trip down. I figured if there was a problem I could deal with it while in Florida. It was no problem at all. This year I will be like all the normal people and pay in January when the fees are actually due.
Cannot do much about the exchange rate as it is out of our control. One of our reasons for buying into DVC was to "lock in" a portion of our future Disney visits at par. We went many times when the exchange rate was 50% more. Our trips seem like a bargain now
We have not yet rented and do not expect to do so any time soon.
Looking forward to welcoming you home!!!

I have a US bank account and a US Visa card.
Lately, I took advantage that the Canadian $ was higher than the US $, to exchange Canadian $ into US $ and put it in my US $ account.
In January, I use my US Visa to pay my dues. Then I pay my US Visa with my US $ account.
So, this year, my dues will cost me less than what the people in Unites States pay !

RBC has a unique product, that is aimed at Canadian snowbirds. You can open up an RBC Bank US Access bank account right from a Canadian RBC branch. It's a real US bank account, with free cheques, and a Visa debit card, for $2.95/mth. It can be fully linked with an RBC Canadian $ bank account (free), as well as an RBC Canadian USD bank account (also free), with one sign in. This allows you to move money from your US Access account in the US to either account in Canada, instantly and online. You would use the US Access account to set up monthly payments for your mf's
The other unique feature is that these are (reportedly) the only USD bank accounts that can be fully linked to your Canadian Paypal account and will allow you to move USD from Paypal into either your US Access account, or into your Canadian USD account, therefore keeping the money in USD's and not having to incur Paypal's crazy foreign transaction fees. If you're regularly renting out points, this can save quite a bit of money.
So, I have gone ahead and set this all up . Note: I don't bank with RBC. I just walked into my local branch, told them I wanted to open a US dollar savings account (called e-savings) and a US Access account. They knew exactly what I was talking about. Someone was available, and we got everything done in about 45 min's (including chit chat). I also opened a free Canadian $ everyday banking account, to get the debit card and be able to do online banking. The two RBC Canada bank accounts were good to go right away, the US Access application was sent to the U.S. from the bank.
A week later, I received my US Access banking information. I called the number, and a very efficient employee from RBC Bank (USA) talked me through setting up my online banking, subscribing to e-statements, linking this account to my Canadian RBC accounts, ordered my cheques, and my Visa debit account. Easy-peasy.
I have since successfully linked both the US Access account and the USD e-savings account to Paypal, and confirmed that I can send money both ways, with no fees. (There is a trick here, you have to use a very specific routing number for the e-savings account, and it's not the one the bank will give you, this is where the research helped). I have also sent money to both USD accounts using XE.com.
So now, I can pay my mf's monthly, and I can accept point rental payments via paypal without paying a currency conversion transaction fee

We do have a US dollar account with TD but we use that to exchange money back and forth when the exchange rate is advantageous to make the move one way or the other.
I don't believe Target Canada will be carrying the Disney Gift Card since the Canadian Government deems that as money brokerage, but I'm hoping that we'll still get 5% off Disney Gift Cards using the Target Mastercard (when it comes out) when we're in the US to take advantage of those savings, just like our American counterparts are able to. Then we'll make our payments with those Gift Cards. We'll just see what Target's rules will be when their Mastercard comes out here ... (and I really wish they'd have stuck with Visa since TD actually bought their Visa rights for the US, it would have made things much easier for we Canadians)

It's interesting that you would bring up the Target card. Just for fun, I applied for the Target credit card online, to see if I could get one with my Canadian address. It was approved on the spot, received it at home within a week. It only has a 200$ limit, but hey, at least I can get the 5% discount
The next time I'm at a Target, I'll probably get the debit card and just use that for the discount...now that I have a US bank account to debit from
BTW, I wanted the US bank account so that I wouldn't have to pay my mf's in one shot with my credit card at the beginning of the year. I wanted to be able to pay monthly.

TD offers a similar product to the RBC product. You can open up anm account with TD Bank North which is a US based account. If you leave $100 in the account there are no fees and you get free cheques and can pay bills online. Check out their site and look for a link called Cross-Border Banking. You can transfer funds directly from your Canadian account into your US account as well through Easyweb.
We also have a US Visa that we use for paying the fees. That is the easiest way to do it IMO.

I bought in in 2005. I've had the RBC US based account for many years. And I have paid my maintenance fees monthly from that account almost since the beginning of ownership. Please make sure you're clear you want US based not US dollar when signing up at an RBC. Sometimes I had to educate the employee. But I probably signed up the first year so it's probably better at this point. EDIT: reading above they obviously are more educated about it at this point. Back then - many used to tell me it didn't exist!
They've made some changes to the RBC product in the last year. We used to be able to walk into a RBC Centura bank branch when on vacation. Now it's tied to PNC; however, you can no longer go in to the branch and do anything. You can't even put a cheque into a PNC bank machine - because it's not a PNC product. (They have other options for getting a cheque into your account - I just don't enjoy them). The only issue I have with these changes is misplacing/forgetting or having my card stolen. We forgot it once - realized it early but didn't want to drive back - and easily had it replaced at a RBC Centura branch down where we were in Williamsburg.
Now we've been told by the phone line that if this happens they can only send one to your home. Which of course doesn't help if you're on vacation and it's stolen.
Anyway, paying monthly is wonderful. Made my purchase seem like a totally different animal.
And as for renting. I won't do Paypal for a few reasons. I usually use all my points but have rented a few times. I have renters send me a USPS money order (cheapest option for them in that area). It has to be the international one. And they do have a upper limit on amount. Last time I had it cashed at a USPS location in Buffalo so one could have sent me a domestic. US customers pay an outrageous price for international bank drafts/cashier's cheque. ( Here it's low to get a US dollar bank draft in comparison).

Huntley: Dems had energy needed to win
BY STEVE HUNTLEY firstname.lastname@example.com November 7, 2012 1:06AM
Updated: December 8, 2012 6:15AM
The biggest winner: President Barack Obama, liberal Democrats and their coalition of women, Latinos, African Americans and young voters. The conventional wisdom was that the energy was on the Republican side, but Obama's team proved that wasn't so.
$100 million doesn't go as far as it used to: Linda McMahon spent nearly $100 million in two failed attempts to get elected to the U.S. Senate from Connecticut.
Was his loss God's will? Richard Mourdock, the GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate in Indiana, a Red State that Mitt Romney easily won, tanked his campaign and lost to Democrat Joe Donnelly because of Mourdock's remark that it's God's will when a rape victim gets pregnant.
Even dumber than Mourdock: Todd Akin had a gimme race to take Missouri's U.S. Senate seat from Democrat Claire McCaskill but blew it by offering up the ugly, offensive concept of "legitimate rape." He will live out his life as a pariah in the GOP. His grandchildren will cringe when they read about him in the history books.
The biggest loser: Senate Republicans. They had to defend only 10 seats while the Democrats had to protect 23 seats, a golden opportunity for Republicans to capture control of the Senate. But the GOP failed, in part because of nominating fringe candidates in places like Missouri and Indiana.
