CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello twinturbo07. Audi Financial Services' December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S4 Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00105 and 56% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

antgonz Posts: 3Car Man,
I really appreciate all your help in all of the leases I have committed to in the past. Unfortunately I did not accept the final offer for my most recent deal I was presented at the end of December on a 2013 S4. I will post more information in the near future on the final offer I had on an S4 that took a couple of weeks worth of negotiating. I declined the offer because they were hiding fees and did not show the Audi loyalty bonus in the final numbers of the lease. In the end the dealer and I could not come to terms and their offers seemed to hide fees and gave me the impression that they were attempting to increase their profit unfairly on my behalf.
I am a long time user of edmunds and really appreciate your assistance.

graphicguy SW OhioPosts: 7,675ant.....just a little tip (OK suggestion). Why not put your own spreadsheet together with all fees, payments, lease terms you want. Present it to the dealer and tell them you will make the deal on their car using your spreadsheet.
BTW....I've done that before on purchases, not leases. It works well. If they don't accept my terms, I move on to the next dealer.
In truth, you should let the dealer know the terms and pricing they have to hit to get your business.
Leases are more complex as there are bank fees, acquisition fees, disposition fees, mileage overage fees, etc that don't exist with a purchase. It can be a bit confusing if you're not used to negotiating a lease. -
dlajoie Posts: 2Looking for Jan lease rate for 2013 S4 Premium Plus with 15K miles per year for 36 months - with Audi Care, which the dealer gave me for free. I custom ordered my car in Nov and it's supposed to arrive at the dealer in Feb. The lease rate in Nov is my ceiling, however if it goes down between when I placed the order and when I take delivery I will get the lower rate. Was wondering if the rate had changed since Nov?
isles1 Posts: 110Lease programs in effect as of January 2013 through early April 2013 for 2013 S4 Premium Plus 36 months 15K is:
Residual: 53% (add 2% for 12K; add 3% for 10K)
AudiCare adds 1%
Residuals seem low (down 3% from this time last year for MY2012)...perhaps I was given the residuals for Prestige. For that reason, I always defer to Car_man to confirm the numbers I obtain and post. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515I wouldn't mind at all isles1. Audi Financial Services' January buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S4 Sedan Premium Plus with 12,000 miles per year are .00068 and 55% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 42-month lease are .00088 and 51%.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi dlajoie. Audi Financial Services' January lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 S4 Premium Plus with 15,000 miles per year are .00068 and 53% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. I believe that the addition of Audi Care boosts the car's residual value by 1%.

graphicguy SW OhioPosts: 7,675We have the Alcantara in our S4. Test drove the nappa leather model too.
It's really up to you. We find the Alcantara to be extremely durable. Of course, you never know until 5-6 years down the road. But, it sure does look and feel more durable.
Plus, the alcantara won't "crinkle" like the nappa leather will over time. -
isles1 Posts: 110What were you quoted for sales price, money factor and residual value? That's the only way to really know if the numbers are good. Any cap cost reductions/incentives?
Depending on your sales tax rate, the monthly payment seems pretty good. Sounds like you may have qualified for a $1,000 conquest cash incentive. -
newtoaudi3 Posts: 3
isles1 Posts: 110Current "buy rate" money factor for a 42 month term is .00088. Dealer is padding the money factor for profit or Audi Financial has raise it for reasons due to your credit.
The residual value is correct with AudiCare factored in.
Sales price seems okay based on MSRP of ~ 57K...but you should check the actual invoice here on Edmunds.com and aim for $500 over invoice (or less...start at or below invoice). That is not always possible depending on locale, but if this car is on the lot, you may have some leverage.
The payment you posted still seems low with that sales price and quoted MF, especially since sales tax in rolled into the payment. Are you sure that number is not based on money down? You need to get the MF lowered, then make sure dealer is not adding fees that you are expected to pay up front. -

isles1 Posts: 110Payment seems high with such a large drive off amount. What is being paid at signing besides first month payment?
What is the quoted money factor?
What fees are being charged in addition to the sales price?
Did you check invoice in the new car section of Edmunds.com? Shoot for a sales price about $500 above invoice for an in-stock car. So offer $1K under invoice and try to get AudiCare thrown in or discounted. Bumps residual value by 1% -
mchotdog Posts: 2I just checked the invoice price, edmunds.com gave me: Invoice
$57,466 with all those options.
The price they offer is $55,950.
I dont know their MF and Residual, but with the numbers you provided last page:
Residual: 56% (since it's 10,000mi/y, $31334.8 compare to their $31,572.10 )
The lease calculator:
Total Loan Amount $52,455
Monthly Payment (tax included) $697
Security Deposit $500
I guess 699 w/o tax is a little high... about $62 more a month... -

jauri7788 Posts: 5Hello,
I'm looking to lease a 2013 S4 Prestige for 36 months with 10k miles a year. The MSRP is $62,270.
The dealer gave me these numbers:
Selling price - $60,365
Title and registration - $221.65
Money Factor - 0.00098
Residual - 55% (10,000 miles)
Wear and tear insurance and Audi Care - $1,679
$4696.88 of negative equity rolled into the payments.
$0 out of pocket.
The dealer is quoting $1113.00 per month including tax (PA). Does this look okay? Is the residual and mf look normal?
Thanks for your help! -
isles1 Posts: 110Selling price is too high, at least $1K too high. Look up invoice here on Edmunds.com. Shoot for sales price of $500 over invoice by offering $1K under invoice, especially if the car is on the lot.
Money factor should be .00068 for a 36 month term if you qualify for top tier credit. Residual is spot on with AudiCare.
IMHO, drop the wear and tear insurance. AudiCare MSRP is $880; at best, you'll get $50 off that price.
Not sure where the negative equity is coming from, but you may want sell that car privately, or push for a better trade in value. When you start throwing trades in the mix, you muddy the waters and it is harder to tell what kind of deal you are actually getting.
With all that said, that monthly payment is downright scary.

There are also some very frustration stuff about linux...

The Phillies get good and all the sudden the ballpark is filled over capacity. The Phillies didn't do so well this year and while the ballpark was filled because the seats were already sold, the TV ratings fell 29%. Why? Because for more than half the season the Phillies sucked. Sounds like a good number of front runners to me.

Workers have been ringing huge bells to get the attention of citizens as they migrate to and from various shopping locations.
"We currently have 23 bell ringers throughout Washington County, Sunflower County and Bolivar County. There are three in Bolivar County that are located at Wal-Mart and Kroger," said Corps Sgt. Major Evridge Hollins of The Salvation Army in Greenville.
The campaign began Nov. 22 and will continue until Dec. 24.
"The Salvation Army in Greenville has not set a goal for this year's campaign but we pray to receive at least $150,000," Hollins said.
According to Hollins becoming a bell ringer for the Red Kettle Campaign is not vey hard and the benefits are outstanding.
An individual who desires to become a bell ringer can simply retrieve an application from a local Salvation Army and the selection process begins at the end of October.
"Bell ringers get the chance to take part in helping needy families and they aid in the vitality of The Salvation Army. It feels really good to see people willing to stand in front of stores and ring the bells to help feed their fellow man," said Hollins.
The Red Kettle Campaign has grown into one of the most recognizable and important charitable campaigns in the United States.
The campaign began in 1891 when an Army captain in San Francisco became distraught after seeing so many poor individuals in San Francisco were going hungry.
He lacked monetary resources to aid in feeding the poor and hungry but he was soon reminded of his days as a sailor in Liverpool, England.
He remembered how at Stage Landing, where boats came in, there was an iron kettle called "Simpson's Pot" into which people passing by tossed a coin or two to help the poor.
Six years later, the kettle idea spread from the west coast to the Boston area.
That year, the combined efforts nationwide resulted in 150,000 Christmas dinners for the needy.
Today, donations to The Salvation Amy kettles at Christmas time support holiday meals for homeless and needy families and it also helps The Salvation Army serve 30 million people though many services all year long such as disaster response services, social service programs, casework and counseling, youth services, senior centers and Christmas programs.
Kettles now are used in such distant lands as Korea, Japan and Chile and in many European countries.
In the United States, kettles at Thanksgiving and Christmas, although changed since the first utilitarian cauldron set up in San Francisco, help make it possible for The Salvation Army to do the best possible for 30 million people each year.
"For the Christmas holiday, we do not prepare meals but we do pass out food bags – this is application based as well. We try to help individuals who are not as fortunate as much as we possibly can," said Hollins.

If I wanted to stop carrying a spare tire to improve gas milage, what would be the best product to use to repair a flat? asked May 25 '11 at 05:04 Jason E |
Former tire store manager, tire man, & auto mechanic. Not currently in any of those trades. Run-flat tires typically add more weight and subtract more gas mileage than carrying a spare. The technology is evolving, though. Tire plug kits (which you absolutely should carry and learn to use) only work on tread punctures - they do not work on sidewall punctures, concussive blowouts, shifted belts, or large tread penetrations like slashes or tears. Get a kit at Pep Boys or a similar outfit. Canned "Fix-a-flat" spooge doesn't work on anything that could not be better fixed with a plug. In addition, tire mechanics HATE it when you use that junk - when they try to work on your tire, either it will be glued onto the rim (if the stuff is completely dry) which makes both removing the rim and seating a new tire difficult, or the stuff will still be liquid, which will result in the tire guy getting splashed with a pint of nasty rubbery glue when the coates machine breaks the rim free. If you use that crap, ALWAYS TELL THE TIRE GUY when you inevitably have to have the tire worked on professionally. If he knows, he can dodge the splashing goo, if he doesn't, he will hate you and may do a poor quality job in revenge (if he is a petty person). Tubes and patches require removal of the tire from the wheel. The tools to do this in less than half an hour weigh more than a spare and an inexperienced person can easily tear the tire bead (I can do it with a pair of heavy steel tire spoons, a shorty sledgehammer, and a strong compressor - but I am physically large and have thousands of hours of experience). In short, the other posters are right. The only real substitute for a spare is a triple-A card, and that only works if you don't take long trips and don't travel into areas where there is no phone coverage. Carry a spare. linkanswered May 26 '11 at 07:01 bugmenot |
Jason, that may not be such a great idea. If you've got a leaking tire because of a punctured tread (not sidewall) or bad bead seal, there are a number of products- plugs, compressors, tire pumps, sealants, etc.- that can help you out, but most of the tire failures I've encountered on the highway were beyond fixing with any kind of repair kit. I don't know how much you hope to reduce your gas consumption by carrying no spare at all, but if you're dead set on it, the best tool for you might be an AAA card, linkanswered May 25 '11 at 11:58 Dave |
I know many people who absolutely swear by these previously reviewed Tire Plugs. They may not completely rid the need for a spare tire, but they are affordable enough that they are worth carrying around in the car in case you get a flat and can't get to a body/tire shop locally. linkanswered May 25 '11 at 07:37 oliver |
Super expensive run-flat tires, maybe? How much driving are you doing that you expect significant savings from taking 30 pounds out of the vehicle? You'd get the same weight savings by not filling your gas tank all the way and leaving 6 gallons of airspace. Also, how far away from major interstates do you drive? Like Dave said, #1 tool for your situation would be roadside assistance, but that didn't help me coming back from Burning Man last year; stuck on state road 447 in the NW corner of Nevada w/ no cell signal. linkanswered May 25 '11 at 16:22 efnord |

25b- The Book of Revelation (Chapter 2:1a) - Billy Crone - Ministry Videos
2419 views
These videos on the Book of Revelation are an in-depth verse-by-verse study in the original Greek. They exist to offset one of the saddest trends in the American Church today, that is, a departure from the clear teaching of Bible Prophecy. You see, prophecy has a way of getting our eyes off of this world and onto Jesus for we see that this world is not going to last forever. Hence, we start living to store up treasures in heaven and not on this earth. We begin to see the futility of living for this world. Also, prophecy has a way of driving home the important truth of God's sovereignty. He is in full control at all times. So much so that God has already mapped out mankind's history and only the student of Bible Prophecy can rightly discern the times in which we live. And what a comfort it is to know that we belong to this same God Who is Sovereign over all and thus can take comfort knowing that nothing enters the sphere of our lives without His divine permission. People, Jesus is coming back! There's no doubt about it. It's time we get prepared by getting back to the clear teaching of Bible Prophecy!

First off, once you decide that you like the game go ahead and buy the second Core Set. You'll really want it for competitive play; it even makes casual play better as it tends to make it less based on who drew their one or two key cards first.
Second, go ahead and buy sleeves for each side so that you don't have to worry about cards getting beat up, bent, etc. You'll want to put your Objective and Affiliation cards in different sleeves from the main deck cards; additionally, the LS and DS cards should be in different sleeves. For the DS deck cards, I recommend buying 300 Black Dragonsleeves. For the DS objectives, affiliations and Committed to the Force cards I would recommend buying 100 of the FFG Force Lightning sleeves. For the LS deck cards I recommend buying 300 of either the White Dragonsleeves or Silver Dragonsleeves. For the LS objectives, affiliations and Committed to the Force cards I would recommend buying 100 of the FFG Lightsaber sleeves. I recommend 300 sleeves for the deck cards as for each side you will want to sleeve 18 objectives twice (18*2*5=180); then having extra sleeves just in case is always nice. Additionally, I recommend 100 objective sleeves as those sleeves will not likely be reprinted much and you'll want a lifetime supply of them. As well, I would recommend getting some 1000 or 1500 count boxes to store the cards in.
Third, I strong recommend having glass beads to use instead of the cardboard tokens. My preference is to have roughly 20-30 opaque white glass beads to use in place of focus tokens. I prefer to use roughly 10 light blue glass beads in place of shielding tokens. I really like to use 20-30 red glass beads in place of damage tokens. I find that the glass beads are far easier to keep track of, add and move on/off cards.
Total cost: $133-175
Base/Core Set x2 = $60-80
Dragonshields x6 = $50-60
FFG Shields x4 = $16-20
Glass beads x3 = $5-10

This is the third set......
This is the third set......
And to conclude the group called the Locker Room!!!
Why stay in the locker room when you can visit the naked gym with these guys?
more casual stuff
I think it is very interesting how guys behave in the locker room- an all-male envirornment where nudity is expected. Of course the eye candy can be out of this world. Nothing better than seeing some young buck strutting around the locker room stark naked with his dick swinging back and forth.
If anyone is interested, check out my blog where I talk about the hot guys I see in my gym locker room.
TongueTied - I LOVE your blog!
This guy looks like Howard Dean, former Democratic candidate for president.
Homophobia kills!
^^^ it is- but a fake
in the locker
Anyone got more of these guys?
^^^ looks like just some sports team having fun after a game/practice....doubt there are a series of pics/scene...etc
I´ve seen it somewhere with a higher resolution, I´ll try to find it...
Don't miss the line of numbers near the bottom of the page.
one more
this is one of my favourites
The old guy sure is checking out that huge dick!
Is this a locker "shower" or what. Where is it from? Looks asian to me
I'm cheating. Some of these are just outside the locker room -
What 's with the bicycle wheels?
Homophobia kills!
Apparently ready for World Naked Bike Day!
Here's a few locker room photos
This team uniform is painted on!!
Anyone know what team it is?
The William Higgins class of the locker room action. These Bases are Loaded.
The hottest locker I´ve seen so far!
Anyone knows what he´s singing in the locker?
^^^I remember seeing that picture earlier this year. For some reason, I think something's wrong with me since I keep looking at the guy on the right.
Nothing wrong with you, AnelfromAbove. He is certainly hot AND cute!
Here is the picture all in one piece
If you click on it, ts easier to ID the names here
The team closed last year
But the photos are still out there
Greg those last two rocked! You totally get it. I love candid locker-room shots of real guys. Provided they're cute and these boys are super cute!
I despise 'locker-room porn'.
Here are a couple shots from my collection...
Random shower/locker room shots.
Let me know if you guys want to see more.
One more to the collection.
Boner in the locker
caught in the shower
In high school I avoided the lockerroom like the plague! I always had a boner in the lockerroom when I was in middle school but by the time I made it to high school... well... I had grown up a lot... there was no hiding a boner anymore.
I had one incident my first year of high school. I was changing into my gym clothes and saw my biggest high school crush changing out of his gym clothes. His body looked even better than I imagined. And the thing is, he knew I was gay even though I was in the closet. He called me out on it all the time. Well, he noticed that I noticed him and a fight ensued.
I guess you could technically say I won the fight. But we were both pretty beat up. And we both got suspended from school for some time. After that, I never went back to gym class.
Nothing like the aroma and man scent of the locker room. Sweaty jockstraps and sweaty jock bodies.
Always liked guys walking around naked feeling so comfortable!

Post subject: Tree-powered fire sensors
I just wrote this up for Slashdot, but I thought I'd post it here too.
The U.S. Forest service plans to test a network of tree-powered fire sensors, according to a
report in the Boston Globe
. Electrical potentials arising from a pH imbalance between the tree and its surroundings slowly charge a battery, allowing a small humidity/temperature sensor to periodically zap reports back to solar powered weather stations, and thence via satellite to the Forest Service. The sensors represent the first practical application of work
published in PLoS One
last August.
Voltree Power
, the company developing the technology, expects that applications might be extended to security or climate research. The Forest Service tests are scheduled for next spring.
No word on whether the Forest Service will set up a massive VR simulation to persuade the trees they're not being used as batteries. Just as well -- I'm not sure I want to find out what Deciduous Neo would be like. ^_^

One tree is good for about one volt. So that's enough to run a low power sensor intermittently, but you'd need something on the order of two or three forests to power a town. Plus all the added problems of figuring out how to wire up all those trees.
Still neat tech, though. ^_^

Yea, but just think of how many health points you earn for each of your civ's cities when you don't cut down any of the nearby forests!
Nerdiness aside, that's some pretty darn nifty tech. Though I gotta wonder at why they're always so danged keen on keeping forests from burning... it's a natural part of the cycle,
letting them burn only sets you up for worse fires that are harder to control/contain in the future
I do commissions!

Nice. ^^
I agree with Sunny though - there are many plants (such as long-needle pines) that just don't
without fire. Confiers mostly - it takes heat to pop out the seeds. It's natural and healthy. The only thing that's not is letting the undergrowth get too dead - then you've a problem. If they're worried about losing trees, some are inherently protected against fire, to an extent. Though, I suppose if a huge bit of forest suddenly burned, people would move in and start building.

@ Tinu - My concern is with the national forests, the ones that are protected from development and such. People go too far into the extremes trying to "protect" these places... like when Bambi first came out, and people's response to his mom getting shot was a public outcry demanding deer hunting be banned. So it was, and in no time deer populations in many parks became so inflated that there wasn't enough food to support them and they started starving to death instead.
Wildfires in developed areas, however, I do think could benefit from this kind of tech. If humans have chosen to build houses and shopping centers in an area, then obviously they're not going to want the area going up in flames. On the same coin though, I think it's also a human responsibility to make sure that underbrush and such
properly cleared, since the maintenance can't be done by natural means anymore.
I do commissions!

True true.
@ the deer tale - that's the problem I keep seeing; people want it all one way, they fail to keep balance. I don't particularly like hunting, but since we've killed off a lot of wolves, it's needed to keep populations under control.

Wow, thats some pretty impressive tech, and one that little ol NZ should look into - we dont get as many forest fires as the US seems to, but then a fire on the scale on one of the bigger ones to hit recently would pretty much wipe out most of the native forest here. I'm fully in support of any *cough* green ways of creating power.
On a side note, were't we always using trees as fire sensors? Y'know, like "Hey, that trees on fire! Forest fire!"
If it's not on fire, it's a software problem

The sensors around the periphery of settled areas, rather than just out in the wilderness at random, would be smart.
You could also use them to help power smaller, rural towns, if they're near a forest...

text:
Good and bad men fare alike as to this world. (1-3) All men must die, Their portion as to this life. (4-10) Disappointments common. (11,12) Benefits of wisdom. (13-18)
Verses 1-3 We are not to think our searching into the word or works of God useless, because we cannot explain all difficulties. We may learn many things good for ourselves and useful to others. But man cannot always decide who are objects of God's special love, or under his wrath; and God will certainly put a difference between the precious and the vile, in the other world. The difference as to present happiness, arises from the inward supports and consolations the righteous enjoy, and the benefit they derive from varied trials and mercies. As far as the sons of men are left to themselves, their hearts are full of evil; and prosperity in sin, causes them even to set God at defiance by daring wickedness. Though, on this side death, the righteous and the wicked may often seem to fare alike, on the other side there will be a vast difference between them.
Verses 4-10 The most despicable living man's state, is preferable to that of the most noble who have died impenitent. Solomon exhorts the wise and pious to cheerful confidence in God, whatever their condition in life. The meanest morsel, coming from their Father's love, in answer to prayer, will have a peculiar relish. Not that we may set our hearts upon the delights of sense, but what God has given us we may use with wisdom. The joy here described, is the gladness of heart that springs from a sense of the Divine favour. This is the world of service, that to come is the world of recompence. All in their stations, may find some work to do. And above all, sinners have the salvation of their souls to seek after, believers have to prove their faith, adorn the gospel, glorify God, and serve their generation.
Verses 11-12 Men's success seldom equals their expectations. We must use means, but not trust to them: if we succeed, we must give God the praise; if crossed, we must submit to his will. Those who put off the great concerns of their souls, are caught in Satan's net, which he baits with some worldly object, for which they reject or neglect the gospel, and go on in sin till they suddenly fall into destruction.
Verses 13-18 A man may, by his wisdom, bring to pass that which he could never do by his strength. If God be for us, who can be against us, or stand before us? Solomon observes the power of wisdom, though it may labour under outward disadvantages. How forcible are right words! But wise and good men must often content themselves with the satisfaction of having done good, or, at least, endeavoured to do it, when they cannot do the good they would, nor have the praise they should. How many of the good gifts, both of nature and Providence, does one sinner destroy and make waste! He who destroys his own soul destroys much good. One sinner may draw many into his destroying ways. See who are the friends and enemies of a kingdom or a family, if one saint does much good, and one sinner destroys much good.
1. declare--rather, explore; the result of my exploring is this, that "the righteous, &c., are in the hand of God. No man knoweth either the love or hatred (of God to them) by all that is before them," that is, by what is outwardly seen in His present dealings ( Ecclesiastes 8:14 Ecclesiastes 8:17 ). However, from the sense of the same words, in Ecclesiastes 9:6 , "love and hatred" seem to be the feelings of the wicked towards the righteous, whereby they caused to the latter comfort or sorrow. Translate: "Even the love and hatred" (exhibited towards the righteous, are in God's hand) ( Psalms 76:10 , Proverbs 16:7 ). "No man knoweth all that is before them."
2. All things . . . alike--not universally; but as to death. Ecclesiastes 9:2-10 are made by HOLDEN the objection of a skeptical sensualist. However, they may be explained as Solomon's language. He repeats the sentiment already implied in Ecclesiastes 2:14 , 3:20 , 8:14 .
one event--not eternally; but death is common to all.
sacrificeth--alike to. Josiah who sacrificed to God, and to Ahab who made sacrifice to Him cease.
sweareth--rashly and falsely.
3. Translate, "There is an evil above all (evils) that are done," &c., namely, that not only "there is one event to all," but "also the heart of the sons of men" makes this fact a reason for "madly" persisting in "evil while they live, and after that," &c., sin is "madness."
the dead--( Proverbs 2:18 , 9:18 ).
4. For--rather, "Nevertheless." English Version rightly reads as the Margin, Hebrew, "that is joined," instead of the text, "who is to be chosen?"
hope--not of mere temporal good ( Job 14:7 ); but of yet repenting and being saved.
dog--metaphor for the vilest persons ( 1 Samuel 24:14 ).
lion--the noblest of animals ( Proverbs 30:30 ).
better--as to hope of salvation; the noblest who die unconverted have no hope; the vilest, so long as they have life, have hope.
5. know that they shall die--and may thereby be led "so to number their days, that they may apply their hearts to wisdom" ( Ecclesiastes 7:1-4 , Psalms 90:12 ).
dead know not anything--that is so far as their bodily senses and worldly affairs are concerned ( Job 14:21 , Isaiah 63:16 ); also, they know no door of repentance open to them, such as is to all on earth.
neither . . . reward--no advantage from their worldly labors ( Ecclesiastes 2:18-22 , 4:9 ).
memory--not of the righteous ( Psalms 112:6 , Malachi 3:16 ), but the wicked, who with all the pains to perpetuate their names ( Psalms 49:11 ) are soon "forgotten" ( Ecclesiastes 8:10 ).
6. love, and . . . hatred, &c.--(referring to Ecclesiastes 9:1 ; Not that these cease in a future world absolutely ( Ezekiel 32:27 , Revelation 22:11 ); but as the end of this verse shows, relatively to persons and things in this world. Man's love and hatred can no longer be exercised for good or evil in the same way as here; but the fruits of them remain. What he is at death he remains for ever. "Envy," too, marks the wicked as referred to, since it was therewith that they
portion--Their "portion" was "in this life" ( Psalms 17:14 ), that they now "cannot have any more."
7. Addressed to the "righteous wise," spoken of in Ecclesiastes 9:1 . Being "in the hand of God," who now accepteth "thy works" in His service, as He has previously accepted thy person ( Genesis 4:4 ), thou mayest "eat . . . with a cheerful (not sensually 'merry') heart" ( Ecclesiastes 3:13 , 5:18 , Acts 2:46 ).
8. white--in token of joy ( Isaiah 61:3 ). Solomon was clad in white (JOSEPHUS, Antiquities, 8:7,3); hence his attire is compared to the "lilies" ( Matthew 6:29 ), typical of the spotless righteousness of Jesus Christ, which the redeemed shall wear ( Revelation 3:18 , 7:14 ).
ointment--( Psalms 23:5 ), opposed to a gloomy exterior ( 2 Samuel 14:2 , Psalms 45:7 , Matthew 6:17 ); typical, also ( Ecclesiastes 7:1 , Solomon 1:3 ).
9. wife . . . lovest--godly and true love, opposed to the "snares" of the "thousand" concubines ( Ecclesiastes 7:26 Ecclesiastes 7:28 ), "among" whom Solomon could not find the true love which joins one man to one woman ( Proverbs 5:15 Proverbs 5:18 Proverbs 5:19 , 18:22 , 19:14 ).
10. Whatsoever--namely, in the service of God. This and last verse plainly are the language of Solomon, not of a skeptic, as HOLDEN would explain it.
hand, &c.--( Leviticus 12:8 , Margin; 1 Samuel 10:7 , Margin).
thy might--diligence ( Deuteronomy 6:5 ; Jeremiah 48:10 , Margin).
no work . . . in the grave--( John 9:4 , Revelation 14:13 ). "The soul's play-day is Satan's work-day; the idler the man the busier the tempter" [SOUTH].
11. This verse qualifies the sentiment, Ecclesiastes 9:7-9 . Earthly "enjoyments," however lawful in their place ( Ecclesiastes 3:1 ), are to give way when any work to be done for God requires it. Reverting to the sentiment ( Ecclesiastes 8:17 ), we ought, therefore, not only to work God's work "with might" ( Ecclesiastes 9:10 ), but also with the feeling that the event is wholly "in God's hand" ( Ecclesiastes 9:1 ).
race . . . not to the swift--( 2 Samuel 18:23 ); spiritually ( Zephaniah 3:19 , Romans 9:16 ).
nor . . . battle to . . . strong--( 1 Samuel 17:47 , 2 Chronicles 14:9 2 Chronicles 14:11 2 Chronicles 14:15 , Psalms 33:16 ).
favour--of the great.
chance--seemingly, really Providence. But as man cannot "find it out" ( Ecclesiastes 3:11 ), he needs "with all might" to use opportunities. Duties are ours; events, God's.
12. his time--namely, of death ( Ecclesiastes 7:15 , Isaiah 13:22 ). Hence the danger of delay in doing the work of God, as one knows not when his opportunity will end ( Ecclesiastes 9:10 ).
evil net--fatal to them. The unexpected suddenness of the capture is the point of comparison. So the second coming of Jesus Christ, "as a snare" ( Luke 21:35 ).
evil time--as an "evil net," fatal to them.
13. Rather, "I have seen wisdom of this kind also," that is, exhibited in the way which is described in what follows [MAURER].
14, 15. ( 2 Samuel 20:16-22 ).
bulwarks--military works of besiegers.
15. poor--as to the temporal advantages of true wisdom, though it often saves others. It receives little reward from the world, which admires none save the rich and great.
no man remembered--( Genesis 40:23 ).
16. Resuming the sentiment ( Ecclesiastes 7:19 , Proverbs 21:22 , 24:5 ).
poor man's wisdom is despised--not the poor man mentioned in Ecclesiastes 9:15 ; for his wisdom could not have saved the city, had "his words not been heard"; but poor men in general. So Paul ( Acts 27:11 ).
17. The words of wise, &c.--Though generally the poor wise man is not heard ( Ecclesiastes 9:16 ), yet "the words of wise men, when heard in quiet (when calmly given heed to, as in Ecclesiastes 9:15 ), are more serviceable than," &c.
ruleth--as the "great king" ( Ecclesiastes 9:14 ). Solomon reverts to "the rulers to their own hurt" ( Ecclesiastes 8:9 ).
18. one sinner, &c.--( Joshua 7:1 Joshua 7:11 Joshua 7:12 ). Though wisdom excels folly ( Ecclesiastes 9:16 , Ecclesiastes 7:19 ), yet a "little folly (equivalent to sin) can destroy much good," both in himself ( Ecclesiastes 10:1 , 2:10 ) and in others. "Wisdom" must, from the antithesis to "sinner," mean religion. Thus typically, the "little city" may be applied to the Church ( Luke 12:32 , Hebrews 12:22 ); the great king to Satan ( John 12:31 ); the despised poor wise man, Jesus Christ ( Isaiah 53:2 Isaiah 53:3 , 6:3 , 2 Corinthians 8:9 , Ephesians 1:7 Ephesians 1:8 , Colossians 2:3 ).

I received a sample of Total Blueberry Pomegranate Cereal in my mailbox the other day. I don't even remember requesting it, but I am the last person who would turn down free cereal, so I popped it open and made myself a typical college dinner. I was fairly impressed by what I discovered.
The whole grain flakes have a little curve to them, and managed to stay crunchy until the last spoonful. The flavor is slightly sweet and the little blueberry flavored crunchy clusters, while adding a bit to the textural essence of the cereal, contribute more to the thorough blueberry flavor - it's a sort of blueberry muffin taste sensation without being too overpowering. But I couldn't detect a speck of pomegranate, although I'm not complaining since this cereal was delicious.
Lastly, I think it is important to mention that the blueberry flavor does not taste artificial (despite the listing of sucralose as an ingredient), which calls for some big props to the General Mills' food scientists because that artificial aftertaste can make or break a product.
Each 1 cup serving of Total Blueberry Pomegranate Cereal provides 170 calories, 2 grams of total fat, 4% of the daily value for sodium, 16% of the DV for fiber, 11 grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein. As is customary with Total Cereals, you will also receive 100% of the daily value for 12 essential vitamins & minerals in each serving. The ingredients start with whole grain oats, whole grain wheat and sugar, but there are artificial colors & preservatives.
If you have ever enjoyed a bowl of Kashi Oat Flakes and Wild Blueberry Clusters, then I would suggest that you give Total Blueberry Pomegranate Cereal a try. I personally liked it better! Plus it only costs about $2.50 per 15.25 ounce box.
I would pick whichever cereal is on sale and revel in the delight of blueberry goodness that will undoubtedly keep you coming back for another bowl in the very near future.

About Global Footprint Network and the Ecological Footprint
"In a world of shrinking resources, those who first recognize the need for sustainability and adopt appropriate strategies will succeed best in future global competition."
Yves Manfrini, Union Bancaire Privee, Switzerland (Fund Manager using Ecological Footprint Accounts for investment analysis)
"The Ecological Footprint is one of the most important environmental concepts in currency today, with virtually unlimited educational and practical implications."
E.O. Wilson, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
"I am convinced that to realize our vision, we need to engage stakeholders and citizens from across Europe and the world and get people to take real ownership of the sustainable development challenge. However, for people to do this, they need clear information on the challenges and the options available for more sustainable patterns of production, consumption and development. We also need to be able to assess progress made and target our actions which will allow all stakeholders to play their role in communicating with and engaging people. That is why I very much welcome initiatives such as this one taken by WWF [and Global Footprint Network]."
Jose Manuel Barrosso, President of the European Commission, writing in the forward to the report co-authored by WWF and Global Footprint Network Europe 2005: The Ecological Footprint.
"Wackernagel, et. al, put out the first quantitative 'overshoot' estimate I have seen for the human economy as a whole: 33% over sustainable limits."
the late Donella Meadows, Lead Author, The Limits to Growth and Founder, Sustainability Institute
"There is a need to go beyond GDP and develop complementary indicators that will let us better understand social and environmental issues...[for] example, Wales is already using the Ecological Footprint to measure their progress. But if we are really going to change the way that people think about the world they live in then this work needs to be accelerated and also brought together."
Stavros Dimas, European Commissioner for the Environment
"The Footprinting methodology is the most ingenious way of communicating unsustainability to the general public - it goes directly to the point and through intuition it allows laypeople to 'get it'."
Prof. Karl-Henrik Robert, Founder of The Natural Step
"The Ecological Footprint is a great communication tool. It can help explain a complex challenge for the planet to any audience. It can then empower people because it doesn't say you must do this. It says: here's the challenge that we all share on the planet. You can make your choice. That's very powerful for us."
Terry A'Hearn, Director of Sustainable Development, EPA Victoria, Australia
"I know of no better way of thinking about sustainability or carrying capability on a global scale than Ecological Footprinting."
Peter Raven, Director, Missouri Botanical Garden
"There is one measure, and one measure only, describing the capacity and relationship between human society and living systems: Ecological Footprinting. It is the only standard by which we may calibrate our collective impact upon the planet, and assess the viability of our future. It is 'true north' when it comes to sustainability; no report about the environment is complete without it."
Paul Hawken, Executive Director, Natural Capital Institute
"The Ecological Footprint makes clear that the environment is no longer a side show, but is increasingly defining economic possibilities. Understanding our ecological demand, and its reach beyond national boundaries allows us to get prepared for the future. It is not that different from our financial expenditures. If we don't track them, we waste them; if we overdraw our 'ecological accounts,' we are undermining our future."
Michael Meacher, MP and former UK Minister of Environment
"I agree with you that we need to further develop indicators that reflect the state of and pressure on the environment and get them more widely accepted and used. We need to enrich the somewhat reductive picture provided by exclusive reliance on the GDP as the main indicator to guide policy choices. The European Commission and DG Environment therefore supports the work on the Ecological Footprint you are leading.The Ecological Footprint is considered as one of the indicators to measure progress towards the objectives of [the Commission's Thematic Strategy on sustainable use of resources]."
Catherine Day, Director-General, Directorate-General Environment, European Commission, in a letter to Mathis Wackernagel, Executive Director of Global Footprint Network
"The great thing about the Footprint concept is that it captures a lot of disparate information and brings it together in a rather simple concept. We've found it to be a useful tool to communicate with our board and our employees."
Bruce Sampson, former Vice President Sustainability, BC Hydro, Canada
"Even if we just wanted to save tigers and pandas, or create protected areas, we could still not succeed without addressing human pressure. Reducing humanity's impact, however, requires equity and cooperation, otherwise we would just create more conflicts. This is an important reason for monitoring human demand through the Ecological Footprint. Recognizing ecological constraints is tough, but it is a prerequisite for harmony between people and nature."
Claude Martin, former Director General WWF International
"The concepts of "Ecological Footprints" enable the identification of crucial variables that policymakers need to address. I greatly hope that your work will serve to stimulate countries to look quantitatively at their interactions with the global ecosystem."
Toufiq Siddiqi, Adjunct Senior Fellow, East-West Center
"Using an 'Ecological Footprint' to describe the pressure human activity is placing on the biosphere will inevitably invite controversy. Global Footprint Network is disarmingly frank about the limitations of its data and refreshingly keen to invite skeptics to suggest improvements. Let's hope those who believe there are no limits or that we're not running any risks will be equally frank about why we don't need to worry."
Simon Upton, Chair of the OECD Round Table on Sustainable Development
"A globalizing economy has an enormous potential of benefiting people around the world. Yet, if not managed carefully, it could also accelerate resource use and lead to a rapid liquidation of our ecological goods. Keeping track of the resources embodied in our trade flows helps monitor whether our course is sustainable or not. The Ecological Footprint points in the right direction."
David Runnalls, President and Chief Executive Officer of IISD, Canada
"The calculations of Ecological Footprints will impress the world community and help politicians, business, engineers, and the public-at-large to find new and exciting paths towards sustainable development."
Prof. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsaecker, MP, Founder and Former President of the Wuppertal Institute, and Member of the German Bundestag
"Measuring progress towards sustainability is a complex, but important process. The Ecological Footprinting approach is a promising step forward."
Alexander de Roo, former MEP, Vice Chair of the Environment, Public Health, and Consumer Committee, European Parliament
"There have been a number of innovative research initiatives to help us get a grip on what is meant by Sustainable Development. Among the most substantive and illuminating, if not the single most helpful of all, is the work by Mathis Wackernagel and his colleagues on 'ecological footprints.'"
Professor Norman Myers, Visiting Fellow, Green College, Oxford University, United Kingdom
"As an Environmental Protection Authority, people judge us by whether there is pollution in the rivers or pollution in the air. I can tell people that there is a river in Victoria that has no pollution because it has no water....because we are using the water too much. The Ecological Footprint helps us sit down with people and say it is not just about how much pollution is going in the river, it's how much water we are using."
Terry A'Hearn, Director of Sustainable Development, EPA Victoria, Australia
"I got [the "Ecological Footprints of Nations" report] which I love and will cite voraciously in our book. It will look like a carcass in the desert, stripped of every morsel of insight. It is great."
Paul Hawken, Executive Director, The Natural Capital Institute
About Sustainability and Ecological Limits
"Sustainability is the best choice we have - yet it also requires significant reorientation. The good news is this possibility: if we start accounting for our ecological resources as seriously as we do for our financial assets, we can manage our ecological assets more carefully in order to secure a sustainable, better tomorrow."
Emil Salim, former Minister of Environment of Indonesia
"The world will no longer be divided by the ideologies of 'left' and 'right,' but by those who accept ecological limits and those who don't."
Wolfgang Sachs, head of the Cross-cutting Project, "Globalization and Sustainability", Wuppertal Institute
"I have the dream that one day regions will not only report on their economic performance, but also on the happiness that this activity generates for its citizens. And furthermore - that one day regions will also report on the burden they place on nature while achieving this human happiness."
Professor Jorgen Randers, Norwegian School of Management
"In a global economy, wealthy urban centres get much of their supply from far away. They depend on ecosystems they have never seen. Hence, overused and failing ecosystems, even if distant, become a threat to the well-being of these very urban centres. Quantifying this relationship between consumers and ecosystems that support them is both politically and scientifically a demanding exercise. Yet it needs to be done."
Georgina M. Mace, Director of Science, Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London

Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
The Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 examines key migration developments of 2014. The Top 10 touches down around the world: from Africa, where the Ebola outbreak prompted quarantines, travel controls, and bans; to Europe, confronting rising humanitarian flows; to the Middle East, where the migrant worker regulation system is under ever sharper attack; and to Asia, where reform to China's hukou system could benefit more than 100 million internal migrants.

u15 Girls Tournament Champions!
The Iowa Rush u15 Nike girls team competed in the Just For Girls Tournament this weekend and won all 4 games to become tournament champions!
The u15 girls beat Centennial Fire in their first game of the weekend 1-0 and then had their second game cut short by the storms that rolled in Saturday night. They managed to go up 3-0 against Chicago Homer Glen in the first half and that score held up when the game was canceled.
On Sunday, they defeated NSSA Blast 2-1 to earn their way into the final game where they were paired with Chicago Homer Glen again as the 2 highest point earners in the group of 4. Iowa Rush found a way to fight the wind, the opponent and the fatigue of playing 4 games in 2 days to win the final 1-0.
Below is a picture of the team with their awards. Congrats Girls!

Who's sitting on a bed with a heating pad on their neck and Pandora looping in their ears? If you guessed Barry Zito, you were incorrect. That's me. With un-Zito- sympathetic-neck-problems. Which doesn't mean I'm unsympathetic to Zito. It just means my neck problems are unrelated. In case you were wondering.
So. Yes We Cain (shouldn't that have a comma, incidentally? "Yes, We Cain/Can." If I ever get to ask Obama a question, that'll be it.) Trust Matt to straighten things out. Yesterday's game felt nice and right and all the pieces made sense.
I can't put my finger, quite, on what was wrong the past two days, but I kind of think the team wasn't understanding each other. The "we're the same team, other than Uribe and Renteria" only takes into account who they lost. Not who they gained. While the team clicked very well down the stretch, they haven't played 162 games together. And as much of a bullseye as there is on the Giants back, it's still three days into the season. Everything went down so fast last year. How can the team fare minus adrenaline? I think very well. But will it take a little time to work itself out? Yes. Maybe yesterday we got a glimpse of them working.
And the wacky quote of the week ? CJ may have lost the best hair crown but he can still crack me up.
"I mean, it's pretty much the same lineup they had last year with two new additions, right? It's not like all of a sudden they have the ghost of Ted Williams playing for them or something."
Which does beg the question wouldn't it be a big deal if the ghost of Ted Williams was playing for them, whether or not it was all of a sudden? Even if he appeared gradually, limb by limb?
Diamond Girl

BRIGHTON, Mich. (WJBK) — It's been a long time coming and although it wasn't easy getting there, for those hitting the slopes, the season's first big snowfall was worth the wait.
"I'm very excited. I've been waiting for a really long time," said one person.
"I'm pretty pumped about this weather. It's a lot better than what we got last year and the year before, so I got out here soon as I could," another said.
Mt. Brighton was packed Wednesday evening with skiers and snowboarders who didn't mind the whipping winds and frigid temperatures. They were eager to put their new snow toys to use.
Santa brought Natalie Bloomingberg a new GoPro, a camera locked to her helmet to capture her every move.
"I was really excited to get it because I've wanted this for a long time because I'm a really big snowboarder," she said. "I'm really happy about the snow, too."
You probably remember we barely had a winter in metro Detroit last year, so when this snow storm started heading our way, snow lovers headed straight to the store.
"I would say probably triple as busy," said Fidel Carino.
He manages Summit Sports in Brighton. He said it is about time we saw snow like this. Business couldn't be better.
"For the majority of our customer, if it's not outside our kitchen window, it is so off the radar they're not even thinking about it. But one inch here and there and just seeing it fall gets them all excited, gets everybody coming in," Carino said.
Like Mark Duncan and his three sons. He outfitted his kids in new gear to get them ready for the season they have been wishing for.
"Season was short last year. It was tough and it made it hard, but this year we started out slow, but it looks like it's getting better," said Duncan.
From the ski hills to the sledding hills, even as night fell at Shepherd Park's Heritage Hill in Oak Park, nothing was going to stop the kids from enjoying some good old fashioned winter fun. They just hope Old Man Winter sticks around for awhile.
