Brie- Silly guys...I don't think I will O for at least a few more days.
Simone- Good luck with your interview!
09-09-2013 07:55 AM - edited 09-09-2013 07:57 AM
Simone: Good Luck! I love Kohls!!
Alix: Are you planning to BF? That will make you even more thirsty as well, but thats a great habit to have, really! Especially right now! I never drank "enough".. and am trying to change that habit now. I have like a glass of water a day, its no wonder i can even function lol. So don't be afraid to "drink too much" water (other than your bladder lol) your body will thank you..and so will baby! has morning sickness come yet? My Stat teacher is nice, if you get an A average by the time of the final, you are exempt from the final, which is pretty neat. My best friend deals with statistics everyday at work and she will help me, and a few of us in class got together and work on it as well. we'll make it.. we only had one day to add/drop this semster, so i have to keep it
Tara: I think I did O.. I had watery and then EWCM the day before and then yesterday. And my temp shot up this morning as well. 2 more days of up temps to confirm. But seems right..CD 14 was yesterday. seems to be my bodies MO.
Question, since i have been tracking this for a month or so, should I print my charts and bring them with me to my appt with Dr. M friday? Just my annual, then birth control discussion so i dont have to go back in a month for new stuff. just dont know if its relevant or something she needs to know.
afm- nothing new besides the neighbors again! a party on sunday night with 10 different drunk people! Not to mention now they are buying/selling weed in broad daylight! I walked up on them one day while walking scarlett around the building while layla napped. And yesterday, I could barely breathe because they smoked then walked outside but doused themselves in perfume too..so not only did they reek the whole stairwell and my front egress with weed, but then it was overpowering perfumed as well! UGH. I am telling my property manager today, its either them or me. You evict them, or Im subleasing my apartment and we will be out the first week of october. End of story. I dont pay rent to live in a place next to drug dealing trashy people, nor do i appreciate smelling weed every time i come up to my front steps. I had to deal with that involuntarily for years with my parents, I'll be danged if i do it as an adult!
Brie- Sounds like you did O. I don't think it would hurt to bring your charts with you just incase. Way to stand your ground. That's ridiculous. Your neighbors sure sound like stellar citizens. Yikes.
Alix- Hope you were able to get some shut eye!
thank you.
Brie it does sound like you ovulated. I would only.think youd need to bring the charts if you were actively trying. your place sounds like a place i moved into.when.i was pregnant with.Trent. They stopped using there. or at least.i stopped smelling them any more.
Alix yeah for no m/s!
Here is a funny story that happened after school. I let Len and Peyton play and P was chasing L and I notice L stop and I looked away. when I looked back he was pulling hia pants down. before i could reach him he started peei.g right there on the rocka by the playground equipment. Good thing most people werw gone by then.
My name is Alexx. I have been TTC for 2 years now. My doctor said I have PCOS. I've had 4 miscarriages and 2 ectopic pregnancies. I have a son, he is now 4. I am extrememly over whelmed and saddened by my difficulties in conceiving. I am only 24 so I feel as though it is unfair for this to be so hard. My doctor said If I don't get pregnant by christmas that she will start me on Clomid. Any idea what I can expect on Clomid?

Hi flashgordon85: As always, these are some very fine photos. I like the combination of both those taken inside as well as the more adventurous ones taken outside. Thanks so much for the really cool photos. -careandrespect
Flashgordon, thanks, yep that's the one I meant. Any ID help possible? And yes he looks like a doll, but even for a doll too perfect! I have no words, what is this!
We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing

Me and my big glass of orange juice and my soothing music are trying to get over the fact that a) I spent my morning at the loudest, most nausea inducing aquarium in the history of everything and b) that we are now in the first two days without a Major League baseball game since March.
Yeah, I'm experiencing some spasms and difficulty breathing. Thanks for asking.
This is Withdrawal with a capital W at the beginning.
I'm also sad about the Brewers.
Because, of course, they were eliminated by the Cardinals last night and I will miss Brauny's hair, but also because in the postgame presser, Prince basically said, "It's been cool here in Milwaukee, but if I leave this offseason that's cool too."
What, Prince?!
I beg to differ. It will not be the least bit cool if you leave this offeason. Really. A little part of me died when you said that. I get that it's business and all that and I would try not to begrudge it if you did, coughcough, leave, but… you just belong in Milwaukee. 7 Reasons Why:
7. You look completely fab in Brewer Blue.
6. Braun has (not-so-intelligently) locked himself up into a million years there, so if you leave, you guys will never bat back to back again. And that is a heartbreaking thought.
5. I promise chocolate cakes galore if you stay. Are you really not tempted by that?
4. Something good was just starting for the Crew. Now is most definitely not the time to leave.
3. Seriously, where else would you get to be on a team with a beer name?
2. I ask too many questions, so I'll make this one a statement: Do. Not. Leave. Do. Not. Leave. *waves hypnotic object and gives crazy-doe-eyes to put him off*
1. You are a quintessential Brewer. Plain and simple. And you know how I feel about quintessentials. I hate it when they leave. Humor me, m'kay?
Diamond Girl
p.s. And while we're at the whole me-giving-you-orders thing? Please shave the Homeless Guy beard. Thanks.

A low dropout regulator (LDO) consists of a voltage reference, an error amplifier, a feedback voltage divider, and a series pass element, usually a bipolar or CMOS transistor (see Figure 1). Output current is controlled by the PMOS transistor, which in turn is controlled by the error amplifier. This amplifier compares the reference voltage with the feedback voltage from the output and amplifies the difference. If the feedback voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the gate of the PMOS device is pulled lower, allowing more current to pass and increasing the output voltage. If the feedback voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the gate of the PMOS device is pulled higher, allowing less current to pass and decreasing the output voltage. This is a closed-loop system based around two main poles, the internal pole of the error amplifier/pass transistor and the external pole of the output capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR).
Analog Devices LDOs are designed to be stable over the specified operating temperature and voltage ranges when the recommended capacitors are used. The ESR of the output capacitor affects the stability of the LDO control loop. A minimum ESR of 1 Ω or less is recommended to ensure stability. The LDOs response to rapid changes in load current, i.e. the transient response, is also affected by output capacitance. Using a larger value of output capacitor improves the transient response of the LDO; however, it can increase the start-up time.
LDO regulators are used to derive lower output voltages from a main supply or battery. The output voltage is ideally stable with line and load variations, immune to changes in ambient temperature, and stable over time. LDOs should have as low a difference between the input and output voltage as possible, called the dropout voltage. For example, in a battery-powered design using a lithium-ion cell connected to a 2.8 V LDO, the battery voltage can drop from 4.2 V (fully charged) to 3.0 V (battery empty) and provide a constant 2.8 V output provided the LDO's dropout voltage is below 200 mV. In some systems LDOs are used for postregulation. The LDO connects to the output of a high-efficiency switching regulator and provides noise filtering, as well as a constant and stable output voltage.
What are some key selection criteria used for selecting an LDO?
Depending on your particular design your selection criteria may differ. However, as a general rule you should use the list below in the order that they appear.
Does the output bypass capacitor value affect LDO performance?
An LDO's design is usually optimized for a specific value of load bypass capacitor. Increasing the load capacitance above the recommended value can improve load transient response. However, when a larger output capacitor is chosen, the input bypass capacitor should be increased to match it. Note: the input and output capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the LDO.
What types of capacitors should be used for input/output bypass?
Any good quality ceramic capacitors can be used, as long as they meet the minimum capacitance and maximum effective series resistance (ESR) specifications listed on the LDO data sheet. Ceramic capacitors using X5R or X7R dielectrics are highly recommended as these have good temperature stability and a low voltage coefficient.
Does LDO ground current vary with load current?
Designs using a bipolar transistor for the pass element exhibit a large increase in ground current as output load increases, reaching ~5% of load current. MOSFET based LDOs are more energy efficient as the ground current increase with load is minimal. The ground current for MOSFET based LDOs is typically below 0.1% of full load.
What is power supply rejection ratio (PSRR)?
Power supply rejection ratio specifies the ability of an LDO to prevent output voltage fluctuations when there are variations in input voltage. PSRR is usually specified at a specific frequency, for example 60 dB rejection at 120 Hz. Battery-based systems should employ LDOs that maintain high PSRR at low battery voltages, i.e. with a low input-output voltage differential.
If the LDO is driven from a switching power supply, will the HF switching noise be rejected?
LDOs will reject input noise up to tens, even hundreds of kHz. High frequency (1 MHz and up) switching noise rejection is primarily a function of the output bypass capacitor network; the LDO's loop bandwidth is too low above 1 MHz to provide any noise reduction. The LDO forms an impedance divider with the pass element and the output capacitor network and load; this provides noise rejection at high frequency.
What causes an LDO's output noise and how can it be reduced?
An LDO's internal voltage reference is the primary source for output noise. It is usually specified in microvolts rms over a specific bandwidth, such as 25 ìV rms from 1 kHz to 100 kHz. This low level noise is much lower than the switching transients and harmonics from a switch mode dc-to-dc converter. Some LDOs feature a bypass pin to filter reference voltage noise with a capacitor to ground. Following the data sheet specified input, output, and bypass capacitors usually results in a unproblematic noise level.
Do LDOs have a minimum load current requirement?
None of Analog Devices LDOs need a minimum load current. However, there are many competitive LDOs on the market that do require a minimum load, some needing as much as several mA.
What are some useful features to look for in selecting an LDO?

Looks like FC ran out of hard drive space! We are installing some new drives between 4 and 6PM PST today to make sure the game keeps truckin'. You guys simply save too many levels.
The database will continue to work and you can login and load levels and designs during this time, but we are turning off write access to the DB while we do the changeover. Rating, password changing, or saving levels/designs won't work during this time.
We are hoping to have it started by around 4:15 and have it finished at 4:45, but I put a bit of a buffer on there just to be safe.
Will update when we're done!
edit: all done!

Guatemala as been popping up all over my thought threads lately, not least of which is because I'm enthralled with super sweet textiles that come from the area.
Women in Guatemala and Mexico have been using brocade loom and hand embroidery techniques to create their incredibly intricate huipils – traditional squarish tops – in basically the same way their ancient Mayan ancestors did years ago. Much of the weaving is died using the ikat technique, a complex process which breeds beautiful results.
Mayans used the design and color of huipil to distinguish themselves from other tribes or people, the same way that fashion functions today to assert individuality (or an alliance with a "tribe" of people, as the case may be).
I've been inspired lately by combining traditional Guatemalan textiles with more modern styles.
My favorite new find is Osborn Design shoes; their oxfords, loafers and flats are made using cloth from regions all over Guatemala and each shoe is as unique as the cloth it's cut from. Osborn supports 30+ Guatemalan artisans who hand-make the one-of-a-kind shoes in humane conditions.
This dress by Mara Hoffman is a perfect example of the best of both worlds. The tailored cut is super flattering and balances the eye-catching design of the cloth perfectly.
Proenza Schouler's Pre-Fall Collection borrowed the bold colors and stripes from Guatemalan textiles in the creation of slouchy sweaters, high-colored blouses and wide-legged shorts for the Pre-Fall 2011 collection.
And Gwen Stefani used Guatemalan-inspired embellishments in her L.A.M.B. 2011 collection.
Loving how old-world cloth meets new-world clothing, especially when the look is achieved by supporting Guatemalan artisans. Looking forward to visit to the country in question in the near future for more reasons than fashion.

Picasso at the Lapin Agile
What if Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso had once met and somehow sensed they were about to change the world through their science and art? The year is 1904 - both men are destined to be the biggest names in their fields in the 20th century - and they meet in a bar called the Lapin Agile in Mountmarte, Paris, where they explore the value of genius and talent while interacting with a host of other characters. This wiggy, adult-oriented comedy by Steve Martin is every bit as cerebral and inventively odd as the comedian who wrote it.

Nissan 300ZX Climate Control Problems
I have a 91 300Zx. I have recently lost power to the A/C, windshield wipers, power mirriors, and the rear window defroster. Has anybody had this problem before?
justintnsi Posts: 1
rdobbs Posts: 1I have an 85 300ZX that has good freon and cannot get cool air into the car. I always have HOT air 150-160 0C, from the defroster outlets. The conrtols have no effect. It seems to be a faulty vacuum problem but I cannot find any vacuum hoses off. The speed control went haywire at about the same time. Anybody had this problem to help me with this?
wildman91 Posts: 3Its one of the relays behind the fuse box inside the car. The fuse box is located underneath the driver side down to the left of the clutch. To be able to get to the relay you will have to be able to remove the whole fuse box. You will be able to see the relay on the back of the fuse box. How I found the bad reIay I removed one of the relays under the hood that runs the headlights which was already working and enterchanged it with another relay behind the fuse box inside the car until I found the one that went bad. There is more than just one relay behind the fuse box, but just one is bad. We got the relay at Auto Zone. It was around $12.00. Hope that helps!
stivovits Posts: 1Did you ever get this fixed. I have an 86 300ZX with the digital dash that has the same problem, again. About 8 months ago after my regular mechanic gave up the dealer replaced a pre-amp board and it worked until last Monday. I took it back to the dealer and even though the symptoms were the same the said it was the climate control main board, which they could no longer get from Nissan. Also when it does not click I get 100% AC and when I remove the fuse, it gives me heat, nothing in between.
pauld5 Posts: 19Posted to what seems to be (maybe) some of the problem that might be occurring. There is an exchange valve (best I know what to call it, it replaces the heater core thermostat that american cars have. It is located on my 1986 Nissan 300 ZX nontur/automatic, cal emmision, looking into the engine comp. the left hand side, there is a sieries of 3/4" hoses and a sensor like cylinder conected to the vacuum canister valve accuator with or without two wire connected too the sensor. The reason I wrote without is that this sensor (from what cars I have seen are missing the wires and there is a connector to it ussually empty) is a heat sensor, for when the car water temp is warm the valve is turned open, and when cool and if the AC is on the vavle should be in the closed position. Car auto idle up switch works fine, turn AC on RPM increases from 6 to 10 RPM, but hot air is all I get. Any suggestions before outside servicing, or can I replace freon myself?

Join us as Most Reverend Richard J. Malone, Bishop of Buffalo, installs Martin Gallagher, Luke Uebler and Cole Webster as acolytes.
A native of Buffalo, Gallagher is a member of Our Lady Help of Christians Parish in Cheektowaga. He earned a bachelor's degree in sociology/anthropology from the State University of New York at Fredonia. Before entering the seminary, he worked as a bank teller and an assistant English Teacher for Kawai-mura Board of Education, Kawai-mura, Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
Uebler is from Elma and St. Vincent Parish in Springbrook. He earned a bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Gannon University in Erie, Pennsylvania. Prior to enrolling in the seminary, he worked as a distribution services aid.
Webster hails from Amherst. He is a member of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish in Buffalo. His degree is in hospitality and tourism from State University College at Buffalo. He has a background in office management.
In the Diocese of Buffalo, seminarians in First Year Theology receive the ministry of Lector, followed by Acolyte during the second year. Candidacy is received in the summer as seminarians enter Fourth Year Theology, with candidates ordained Transitional Deacons during the Fall of Fourth Year Theology. They are ordained to the priesthood the following June, a month after they are graduated from the seminary.
According to the Book of Rites, "The acolyte is appointed in order to aid the deacon and to minister to the priest. It is his duty therefore to attend to the service of the altar and to assist the deacon and the priest in liturgical celebrations, especially in celebration of Mass; he is also to distribute communion as a special minister. In the same extraordinary circumstances an acolyte may be entrusted with publicly exposing the Blessed Sacrament for adoration by the faithful and afterward replacing it, but not with blessing the people."
The Mass is open to the public. All are welcome.

Ten years ago in the NYC market you'd get a Jets/Giants and maybe one more game, then MNF... In other markets you'd get only one game plus MNF... <<Philly comes to mind..
Times have changed.
Now you get Jets/Giants/MNF, SNF, TNF, RZC and typically one more game. Point is, there is so much football on tv the need for the NFLST is fading thus D needs to innovate to stay competitive.
Do the math, that is up to 12 teams, or a 1/3 of the league plus the RZC..... As my brother said to me, I see 85% of the Cowboys in NJ without spending $300.
D simply can't charge the prices they charge any more, the value of the package is no longer there. Thus fix the dam GM channels and keep us who pay all this money coming back.
There is nothing to fix in regards to the ST mix channel. Despite what your solo ranting and raving might suggest, there is no problem to fix.

Sex Trafficking in a Border Community: A Field Study of Sex Trafficking in Tijuana, Mexico
Publication Types
Publish Date:
May, 2011
This research report discusses the findings of a study conducted largely in a border town in Mexico. The researcher conducted in-depth interviews with individuals directly engaged in the sex trade. According to the report, previous information on human trafficking relied heavily on information provided by agencies responding to it, including advocacy groups and law enforcement, but little direct research has been conducted. This study sought to determine the extent to which coercion and manipulation were employed and how these operations were organized.

I took my daughters boot and set it on the counter
I took my oval cake and started carving
I used the standard method for building a cake... the dowels and hard plates stacked until it looked like it was tall enough then carved more and iced with all butter buttercream, decorated with with the edible pearls ect.
the ben and whitney is just a wilton cake pan.
I am sorry I do not have a tutorial.. I was nervous about transport and decided to freeze it overnight and it was thawed by the time we cut it!

The third and fourth lines should be read as one, more or less. The last block changes the pace entirely. Comments welcome, of course. Even if it's just to say you enjoyed it, or hated it, or whatnot.
Tonight, I'll dress every wound with fresh bands
Wrap front to back, bind tightly my hands
I touched something more than I could grasp
And in agony I watched as it unraveled in strands
Over and through, and seal closed my lips
I doubt my voice is something I'll actually miss
Plus it may help me to stay silent
Though I'd settle with forgetting your kiss
Loop twice and pull, to seal shut my eyes
If I can't see your smile I won't have to tell myself lies
I could go on forever believing I have a chance
Because I don't want to admit I'm terrified of goodbyes
Splint wood bars with cloth, and straighten my head
Don't let me keep thinking about that night in that bed
If I can't look down then maybe I won't stop to think
And can move on with my life, just like we had said
Around and underneath, to cover my ears
There's no sweet sounds left that I want to hear
If I can ignore the birds singing and the wind in the trees
Maybe I can keep my head from starting to clear
Apply pressure and hold, and soak up my mind
If I can't move my body, maybe peace I could find
But every stitch and wrap refuses to stay in its place
And as I keep looking, my misery follows in kind
Around and underneath, loop twice and pull
Wrap back to front, pull over and through,
It hurts me so much that I doubt I'll make do
But I'm seeing the truth, that I'm almost over you

Interesting, and weird (which is a compliment from me)--as in I don't recall hearing much like it before. The various stitches reminded me of mummies, and I liked the idea of sealing lips to stop you from lying to yourself. I dunno why exactly, I just thought it was a clear, dark image.
Did you choose the AABA rhyme scheme for any particular reason, or did it just develop like that? I've never seen it before, is all.

It developed like that, I had two blocks down before I really even recognized I was doing it, then decided it was sort of stilted and I liked that. Seemed to fit the subject matter and the speaker's voice, as it were.
I was particularly proud of the imagery, and even more pleased that it's unique. Thank you! ^_^

Maths & English Tuition in Highgate
MagiKats offers out of school Maths and English tuition suitable for all children from mainly ages 4 to 16.
Children who want help with their school work want that help NOW. They want topics being covered at school to be more accessible immediately, yet at the same time are likely to have gaps in core skills that need to be filled. This is why we work on two strands simultaneously - to give an immediate boost underpinned by steady consolidation.
Every student has a programme that is built just for them. They concentrate on coming to grips with topics that they are covering at school whilst also working on a parallel thread that is put together to fill any gaps that may exist in their core skills.
Special support is available when exams are looming and we offer a special programme during the long summer break.
MagiKats is a programme written by educators, to support the school curriculum. Our materials are adjusted as necessary for each region in which MagiKats operates, from Australia to the UK and the Middle East. We keep everything up to date and adjust whenever necessary to remain in line with student need.

text: I won't use a blanket statement like "everyone deserves a second chance", but I do believe that these folks do. Its kind of sad how society can be with labels sometimes. Tearing people down, not giving them a chance when more than one professional has said they can do better, its not fair. People like Harl and his child placement agency shouldn't have to have these concerns.

Community Tree Care Teams
Is the health of the urban forest important to you?
Form a Community Tree Care Team!
Community Tree Care Teams are made up of community members who come together with the common goal of caring for trees on their local streets, schools, and parks so that they thrive.
Community Tree Care Teams receive training from TreePeople on the maintenance needs of the trees in their community, how to create a maintenance plan, and how to care for trees. After the training community members use TreePeople's Tree Care Assessment tool to map their trees and record maintenance needs. Once the Team creates a plan to care for the trees it's ready to go to work. TreePeople supports the Team's initial event to make sure the team is prepared to properly care for the trees, then the Team can care for the trees on their own schedule with TreePeople providing tools and answering questions as needed.
In order to start a team you must go through our free Community Tree Care Team training. This training can be scheduled for a time and location convenient for your team. Afterwards you will be asked to report back to TreePeople the work you are doing in your community.
Access to TreePeople tools and expertise, healthy and beautiful trees in your community, and the great feeling of giving back to your community.

Michael Sneed: Jesse Jackson Jr.'s plea talks have intensified but 'take a deep breath,' they could take months: source

The Jackson file . . .
Sneed is told a federal indictment against U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. dealing with misuse of campaign funds may be the next step now that he pulled the plug on his career and resigned Wednesday just 16 days after his re-election.
Sneed has learned ongoing plea negotiations between Jackson's attorneys and the feds have intensified, and "a resolution of this matter hopefully will be resolved in the next few months," an informed source said.
"No deal is done yet and everyone should take a deep breath and relax," a source said.
◆ Translation: An indictment is expected.
Meanwhile, Reid Weingarten, Brian Heberlig and Dan Webb, attorneys for Jackson, released a statement, saying, "Mr. Jackson is cooperating with the investigation. We hope to negotiate a fair resolution of the matter but the process could take several months. During that time, we will have no further comment and urge you to give Mr. Jackson the privacy he needs to heal and handle these issues responsibly."
Sneed exclusively tipped on Nov. 8 that plea negotiations had begun between Jackson and the feds.
"There have been numerous discussions between Congressman Jackson, who just resigned, and the feds, and part of the plea negotiations would be he'd have to resign from office," said a source familiar with the Jackson probe.
Although Jackson has yet to be charged with anything, Sneed is told his mental condition had become very fragile lately.
An outpatient until recently at Mayo Clinic, where he was being treated for depression and bipolar disorder with psychiatric help and a cocktail of medications, Jackson has been unable to speak publicly due to his heightened anxiety, a source said.
"The Congressman has very capable lawyers, which include former U.S. Attorney Dan K. Webb in Chicago and a cadre of Washington lawyers led by Reid Weingarten," a source said.
Although Jackson's wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson, could not be reached for comment, a source close to her claims she had been encouraging her husband to resign.
"She asked him to pray on it," the source said. "It was the only way he could start getting well and focus on his therapy."
"Triple J's health has been the utmost importance to the entire Jackson family — including his father, Rev. Jesse Jackson — and his mother, who has become somewhat of a caretaker," said a source. "But there has been a tug of war within the family over what path Jackson should take and how he would do it."
"Now they all feel he can focus on getting well in order to handle what may be ahead," the source added.
Word is Jackson will spend Thanksgiving with his parents and his siblings. It's not clear where that will be.
A source close to Sandi Jackson, whose marriage has reportedly been fragile since disclosure of her husband's infidelity went public three years ago, will be spending Thanksgiving with the couple's two children and relatives in Ohio. The congressman had been staying with his wife and children as a Mayo Clinic outpatient in Washington from September until October until it became clear he needed to return to the clinic and away from the press.

2013 and earlier Jeep Grand Cherokee Lease Questions
jplumley77 Posts: 3Jeep Lover,
Could you give me a few specifics on your lease? I'm looking for an Altitude and they have a few. I would really appreciate it.
Cap Cost Reduction
Cap Cost
Leasing Company
Money Factor
Leasing Company
I'm from NJ and am shopping all over. I've found that each dealer has different lease companies and different incentives. I'm really interested in what rebates are out there. I think that some decent rebates just ended on 1/3.
Any help would be appreciated! I'm going to call them today thanks to you! -
drdrakeramore Posts: 43I spoke to a dealer in the Denver market this week and he told me current residual for a 2013 GC Limited is
* 54% for 15K
* 56% for 12K
* 57% for 10K
It appears the lease APR is 1.45% from jeep.com (although this guy gave me numbers that come out to close to 1.488%). $1500 rebate for getting the V-8 plus $1000 for currently leasing another car. This dealer had a Winter Chill LTD w/ Trailer IV and V-8 for $36,998 advertised on the internet, non-negotiated (13.2% off MSRP).
I'd be interested to know what Car_Man knows... -

michigander13 Posts: 1Hi All,
I've seen a lot of different posts and pricing around GC's in other locales, but am wondering if anyone has any experience in the Midwest or even better in Michigan?
Currently, dealer is offering 2013 GC X Package for $349/month w/ $2,500 down.
Does this rate seem "fair" / appropriate? Is there a significant advantage or disadvantage to moving to the Limited model? -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi jplumley77. Ally's January base lease rate and residual value for a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are 0.25% and 55%.
I haven't seen the Hahn lease program for the Grand Cherokee, but I can see what I can find out about it.

calli74 Posts: 5insidecarbuy - that seems like a great deal. I've been looking at the 2013 JGC Overland myself. But while researching, I saw the 2014's coming out and I might wait for them. They are supposed to be showing up in the next couple of weeks here in Mass.
Where would I find the best insight on whether or not they will be offering leasing incentives on them? -
dave5454 Posts: 2These are so new I can't find residual or rate anywhere, anyone have any ideas about leasing a 2014 in March of 2013 as far as it being a good thing or a bad thing? It is a good 5-6 months before most new vehicles come out. Here is what I am looking at:
http://www.teamwelshjeepchrysler.com/new/Jeep/2014-Jeep-Grand+Cherokee-194b97570- a0a0064019ff3590216b96e.htm
Being they are so new I can't even find an invoice. I will offer $41k, never know. -
daytonguy21 Posts: 2Dave5454,
Invoice pricing can be found here on the first page and residuals for Feb 2013 are on page 256 but for 36 mo lease 15k miles (limited) are 54% and 1.45%
From a pricing standpoint I ordered a 14' overland and was able to get 3% below invoice. Good luck!
http://www.jeepgarage.org/f73/2014-grand-cherokee-ordering-information-and-prici- - ng-52937.html -
dave5454 Posts: 2I got a quote from Team Welsh Jeep in Far Hills, NJ on a '14 Limited 8cyl residual at 54% and .00004 money factor. That works out to 0.9% on a lease. I will most likely be doing my business with them as they are more of a mom and pop dealership. They have gotten some pretty good reviews.
cliffpoz Posts: 652014 limited - msrp = 40580, selling price 1% below invoice = 38,590, residual 57%, mf = .00004. Additional $1000 rebate. 36 month, 10k miles. Dealer was coming up with $480/month including nyc taxes. only fees otd = $480 upfront for first month. I am calculating $430/month?
A couple of charges that looked high - plates: 300, doc fee 147, lease fee 795 ( i assume that is bank fee).
which monthly payment looks right - dealers or mine
can you negotiate the doc fees and plates? -

When our face is looking a little dull and uneven, we're forced to reach for multiple skin perfecters. But, sunscreen, foundation, concealer, and powder? That's a lot — too much. And, it doesn't have to be that way.

dewitt – A popular program offering landscape quality trees at a deep discount to Alliant Energy customers will be held at Westbrook Park, 520 Westbrook Drive, in DeWitt, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Oct. 3.
Operation ReLeaf, a residential tree planting program that promotes long-term energy and natural resource conservation, is funded by Alliant Energy and administered by the Iowa DNR Forestry Bureau with assistance from local partners, like the City of DeWitt.
Through the program, Alliant Energy residential customers may purchase high quality landscaping trees for $25 each. These trees typically retail for between $65 and $125.
Advanced order is highly recommended and advance purchase is limited to two trees per household. In the event there are extra trees available on distribution day, those trees will be released for purchase at that time. Order forms are available online at www.alliantenergy.com/releaf.
The DNR is encouraging homeowners to prepare for emerald ash borer (EAB) and other tree pests by planting a diverse mix of tree species. Foresters have been working with local partners to create community tree inventories that will guide future tree planting efforts to keep a healthy mix of tree species.
The most recent tree survey for communities in Clinton County finds 26 percent of the trees are maple followed by ash at 20 percent. The DNR has a target for communities that no more than 10 percent of the trees are from any one species, and no more than 20 percent is from one genus.
Trees available at each distribution event are determined by the local tree species inventory. For DeWitt, species available include American elm "Jefferson," thornless honeylocust, northern red oak, river birch, tuliptree, sugar maple and bur oak, eastern redbud, Japanese lilac, edible apple liberty, eastern white pine and Norway spruce.
Shade trees are 6 to 9 feet tall in 7 to 10 gallon containers and conifers are 2 to 4 feet tall.
"All trees are purchased through a bidding process to promote local nurseries," said Paul Tauke, state forester and chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Forestry Bureau. "This is a great way for homeowners to get a quality tree at an affordable price."
A workshop lead by district forester Steve Swinconos, will discuss ways to treat ash trees for EAB and offer recommendations to battle this invasive pest at 5:30 p.m. during this tree distribution.
The workshop will also provide information to avoid common mistakes that often result in dead trees.
"Research has shown that more than 50 percent of trees planted in urban settings are planted incorrectly, even when planted by professionals," said Swinconos.
The 45 minute workshop will cover the most common mistakes that can shorten the tree lifespan by decades, including finding the root flare, proper planting depth, correcting and preventing encircling roots, proper mulching and watering, corrective pruning to reduce future storm damage, and planting around buildings for energy efficiency and more. Just a few of the advantages of yard trees are:
Studies have found that by having tree lined streets more people spend time outside which can improve activity and lower their body mass index, especially in kids. Studies also link trees to reduced asthma rates.
Operation ReLeaf participants must be Alliant Energy residential customers.
