I've had my 1/2" torque wrench for 2+ years, and it operates smoothly and consistently. Perfect for lug nuts. Some advice:1. This is a precision instrument; treat it with care. Dont use it as a hammer, etc or store it where it will get banged around.2. Always loosen it to just above 0 ft-lbs when you are done; this keeps a slight amount of compression on the spring. Never store it at high torque settings.3. Dont use it for loosening bolts to see how tight they were. Besides, it wont give you the correct reading; it takes MORE torque to loosen a bolt/nut than to tighten it. Get a breaker bar (Harbor Freight sells a nice 25" one).4. When torquing, always increase the force slowly, then stop immediately when it clicks. When you recheck all nuts, the wrench should click with the same applied force on all nuts and none of them should budge. If you get different results, your technique is probably wrong.5. Dont try to take the wrench apart. If you need to know how they work, buy a second one and have a look inside.

I owned my first 1/2" drive Harbor Freight torque wrench for 6 years, and used it moderately (about twice a month). I never had it calibrated, but it seemed accurate and consistent from one job to the next. Eventually, the internals gave out.Having had a good experience for the price the first time around, I purchased my second one a few months ago. While torqueing a nut to 140 ft-lb, the wrench suddenly LET GO COMPLETELY. I was lucky to only bruise, and not break my hand when I whacked the concrete driveway.I had also bought a 3/8" drive wrench, which was faulty out of the box (would not click). This kind of questionable quality was enough to turn me off from these wrenches, especially given the precision tolerances that any torque wrench must operate within to be effective. I returned both, and invested $80 in a good-quality, name-brand wrench with a 50-250 ft-lb torque range.

Outstanding tool at a great price
By jeff
from pa
Purchased this wrench in two sizes, the 1/2" mostly for automotive work. Just used it to set 100 ft lbs of torque on my friends lug nuts on his '94 ranger while replacing his brakes/rotors/bearings and it worked perfectly. The wrench is easy to set and lock, has a nice grip, and the audible click is complimented with a distinct pop you can feel when the wrench his the specified torque setting. Worked perfectly on each lug nut. My buddy gave it a go on the other wheel and he commented on how easy it was to use. The included storage case is nice so the wrench itself isn't banging around in my rolling tool bag. I used this wrench with a H.F. 19MM deep impact socket with excellent results and zero complaints. I'm confident that my friends wheels are secure and I'm sure this will be a solid tool in my expanding collection. Outstanding value for the price and a highly recommended tool for those D.I.Y. guys who love learning how to do the job right from start to finish.

Dead on accuracy. Solidly build.
By KaBob
from WI
About Me Casual Driver, Test Engineer
I saw this in the ad, althrough I have no use for it, I was really curious about how accurate it is, given its' sinfully low pricetag. So I brought one, and since I am an engineer by trade, I calibrated it myself.I didn't take in account of hysteresis and the calibration is based on another torque wrench, but I simply want to focued on the accuracy on tightening. Long story short, I loaded it against a yearly professionally calibrated SnapOn 1/2" digital torque wrench. Here are the results:HF:20 Snap:20.5HF:30 Snap:30.4HF:40 Snap:42HF:50 Snap:50.2HF:60 Snap:60.4HF:65 Snap:64.7HF:70 Snap:72HF:80 Snap:80.3HF:90 Snap:89.2HF:100 Snap:100.2Needless to say, its pretty darn accurate. Also, its very hefty in terms of built as well. Pleasantly surprised. Cheers.

One Small Complaint
By Brad
from San Antonio, TX
About Me Auto Enthusiast
I opened the box in my car before driving off and found the locking screw was jammed from being cross threaded at the factory. Glad I checked but not a big deal I went back and exchanged it. I tested it when I got home and it's fairly accurate. I set it to 20 ft/lbs, hung it on a lug nut to suspend it in the air and gently placed a 20 lb dumbbell on it. After gradually moving up the setting it made the click noise at 23ft/lbs. Not bad for general use but I'd be careful about converting in/lbs to ft/lbs and torquing. This slight variation would make a serious difference in tightening sensitive things. I also use a 3/4" adapter for my sockets and it works great. The case is a nice plus; all in all I'm satisfied.

100% Lifetime warranty, promise kept
By rob c
from kalamazoo
Casual auto repairs, installation of suspension parts/upgrades, lug nut torque on aluminum wheels. The torque wrench I bought in Kalamazoo 2 years ago got too tight to easily adjust. Returned to store 2 years later with wrench, original box, no receipt. The cashier was polite and asked the Kalamazoo store manager who was busy loading a customer truck to verbally ok the exchange, no problem and no id required. Was told to pick out a new replacement, I had a new wrench in 5 minutes total time. Where else can you get a lifetime torque wrench even if the instructions claim only 90 days (website shows lifetime). I am now sold on Harbor Freight Pittsburg brand many of these hand tools are made in Taiwan which is a cut above the mainland made tools.

acurate tool
By Bapa
from Columbus, Ohio
We checked this torque wrench against the calibrated ones we have at work... it was within a pound of the calibrated one. I don't want to guess how much the ones at work cost, but I'm sure it's 5 times this price. I used to torque my bolts on my auto repairs by guessing... no more.

About Me Casual Driver
I bought this wrench in 1997 to tighten the lug nuts on my F-150. It has worked great . I now use it for all of the lug nuts on all of my vehicles with alloy wheels.I bought a second wrench to carry in my motorhome because it has alloy wheels also. Both wrenches has performed perfectly.I have used it for all of my torquing needs.
Nice for the Price

About Me 4x4 enthusiast, Mechanical Engineer
I bought this as a spare so i wouldn't have to bring my Snp-On wrench with me on the trails but i end up using this more often because it's right there in the truck and it's just as accurate as my $200+ Snp-On wrench. Very pleased with this wrench. I wish I would have got this before I blew 2 bills on an overpriced one. I don't have any cons. It does what it is supposed to do at a very fair price

Great torque wrench
By Curt
from Illinois
I use it for torquing lug nuts, head/manifold bolts, etc. I had an expensive well known brand digital torque wrench that cost $150+, and it broke about a year later. Took it in, and they told me it had a 90 day warranty and they could send it in for repairs for a flat rate of $100. I laughed and said goodbye, and have been using my HF torque wrench ever since. It has been about a year now, and it is still working like new. You can split hairs over "accuracy", but for most circumstances the important thing is that all the bolts are the same. Plus or minus 4, or even 10 ft lbs doesn't matter on steel bolts/nuts.

Republicans Propose Bill to Treat Mexican Drug Cartels as 'Terrorist
By Elizabeth Harrington
December 15, 2011
(CNSNews.com) - Calling the situation along the U.S. border a "threat to
national security," a House committee Thursday took up a bill sponsored by
Republican congressmen that would treat Mexican drug cartels like
terrorists and apply a counterinsurgency strategy to the growing violence
along the Southern border.
Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) introduced H.R. 3401 the "Enhanced Border
Security Act" on Nov. 9 to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, stop criminal
access to U.S. financial institutions, and work with Mexico to implement
counterinsurgency tactics to undermine the control of the drug cartels in
the country.
The bill would also double the number of Border Patrol agents, and provide
additional infrastructure to secure the border, including "tactical double
layered fencing."
"A terrorist insurgency is being waged along our Southern border," said
Mack, during the mark up of the bill in the Western Hemisphere
subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he serves as
"The term terrorist insurgency may be strong," said Mack, who said the
cartels operate across Mexico, Central America and in over 1,000 American
cities. "But it is based upon unchallenged facts."
"Drug traffickers and criminal organizations have combined efforts to work
across borders, unravel government structures, and make large profits from
diverse, illegal activity," he said. "The near-term result: schools,
media and candidates all controlled by criminal organizations. In other
words, total anarchy."
Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio), a supporter of the bill, said the situation is
"an issue of national security.
"The drug trafficking organization is out of control," Schmidt said.
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said the Enhanced Border Security Act
"really tells the situation like it is."
"I believe that the drug cartels are acting within the federal definition
of terrorism, which basically says to intimidate a civilian population or
government by extortion, kidnapping or assassination. That is precisely,
precisely what the drug cartels do. They extort," he said.
But Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), the ranking Democrat on the subcommittee,
disagreed. While he offered his support for the aims of Mack's bill,
Engel argued the Mexican drug cartels are not operating within the legal
definition of terrorism as to advance political aims.
"I agree with you that Mexicans are terrorized," said Engel. "If I were
living in a place where gun battles were leaving scores of people dead and
previously safe streets were now hideouts for thugs and criminals, I would
feel a sense of terror, too."
However, Engel said, "There is a difference between acts which can cause
terror and terrorist acts."
He said what's happening in Mexico is "narco-crime" and not terrorism.
"If we get the cause of the disease wrong, our treatment will be wrong as
well," he said. "The narco-criminals in Mexico have no political aims,
they are brutal outlaws who want money, but they don't want to throw out
the government and take over."
H.R. 3401 defines terrorist insurgency as, "the protracted use of
irregular warfare, including extreme displays of public violence utilized
by transnational criminal organizations to influence public opinion and to
undermine government control and rule of law in order to increase the
control and influence of the organizations."
The National Counterterrorism Center of the United States defines
terrorism as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated
against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents."
"They decapitate people on a daily basis. They burn people alive. Throw
people in acid baths," said McCaul. "If that's not intimidation, if
that's not terrorizing a civilian population, I don't know what is."
Engel also objected to the bill because he said it would supplant funding
for a counterinsurgency strategy from the State Department's Merida
Initiative, a partnership with Mexico designed to to "fight organized
crime and associated violence while furthering respect for human rights
and the rule of law."
Since 2008, Congress has allocated $1.6 billion to fund Merida to support
Mexico's implementation of comprehensive justice sector reforms, provide
eight Bell helicopters to the Mexican Army/Air Force, three UH-60M Black
Hawk helicopters to the Federal Police, and three UH-60M Black Hawk
helicopters to the Mexican and provide scanners, X-ray machines, and
inspection equipment for Mexican checkpoints and airports, according to
the State Department.
Despite Merida's efforts, Rep. Schmidt said -- "I don't think it is
Since 2006, 34,600 people have died as a result of Mexican drug cartel
violence, the U.S. government reported in January though the number is now
believed to be much higher.
Bags of cocaine, heroin, and other narcotics seized by the U.S. Coast
Guard. (AP Photo.)
"50,000 Mexican people have been killed, brutally, at the hands of these
drug cartels, more than the American deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan,
combined," McCaul said, "And yet we're going to sit back and say that this
is, these are just businessmen operating with mergers and acquisitions,
they're just driven by profit. They are driven by profit, but they are
also driven by evil."
"I don't think we can stand back blindly and not call it what it is," he
Engel argued Merida is now moving into its second phase to "focus more on
training and support for the judiciary and accountability." He said, "The
distrust and prickliness that once pervaded the relationship between the
U.S. and Mexico has been replaced by trust and cooperation," through the
"I feel this bill returns to the era where Congress dictates policy and
expects Mexico to toe the line," Engel said.
But Schmidt, who said the current policy is woefully lacking, believes it
is missing the counterinsurgency strategy.
"The problem with the administration's new proposal, the Beyond Merida, is
that it fails to recognize that today's drug cartels (are) transnational
drug organizations," she said.
The act's counterinsurgency strategy would outline the transnational
criminal organizations in Mexico, provide an assessment of the terrain,
population, ports, financial centers, and income-generating activities of
the cartels, assess the capabilities of Mexico's federal law enforcement
and coordinate with relevant federal agencies to address the operations of
the cartels within the United States.

Anatomically correct deep flex grooves have been aligned to the joints of the foot. This innovative construction enables the shoe to recognize, adapt, and respond to the athlete's exact load and positional change from first impact to toe-off.
The use of seamless materials reduces the potential for irritation and friction caused by traditional stitches and seams.
Lightweight heel construction comforably hugs the foot while minimizing structural weight.
Similar to the geometry seen in racing flats, a low heel-toe differential reduces midsole weight to improve economy and encourage faster running.
A firmer Solyte® Midsole increases responsiveness and enhances the ride from contact to toe-off.
Minimal outsole material is positioned only in high abrasive areas.
A lighter weight midsole compound than ASICS' standard EVA and SpEVA®. Also features enhanced cushioning and durability.

Pronation is how a runner's foot rolls medially between footfall and toe-off. Underpronation is when the foot rolls outwards, overpronation is when it rolls inwards, and a neutral pattern is when little rolling occurs.
Matching a shoe's properties with the runner's running style will increase comfort, running efficiency, and contribute to decreasing the risk of injury.
ASICS GEL Cushioning technology opened up a world of new potential for runners and athletes of all shapes, sizes and skill levels who strove to run longer, play harder, and perform more intensely. Thanks to the comfort and support of GEL-Equipped athletic shoes, everyone's body could be a "runner's body." Everyone could push themselves farther into the realm of what was previously reserved for only the "elite."
ASICS Natural33 Shoes are based on the well-accepted tenet that the body tends to react positively to multiple types of stimuli. When coupling Natural33 footwear with your more conventional/structured running shoes, you are "mixing the signals," and effectively Mixing Up Your Run. Elite running coach Andrew Kastor discusses how our Mix Up Your Run concept can help you improve yourself -- whether you're a seasoned competitive runner, or simply running to stay in shape.

You activate many areas of your brain when you tell a story. There are so many areas in education where students can use stories to remember details of information needed for writing exam answers. Stories are visual, can be auditory; you can introduce smells and engage with whatever you are writing about. The whole brain becomes stimulated with a person's own record of the information. How can you forget? Go to www.hotmoodle.com for story writing information.

"We're the largest shipper of fresh market brussels sprouts in North America," Corda said.
"It's a big item for us but only the fifth- or sixth-largest that we do. We have more than 40 commodities. Iceberg lettuce is probably our largest."
Among those, artichokes are another coastal crop for Ippolito International.
The company introduced microwaveable artichokes in a two-count bag last fall in limited quantities.
"We were transitioning from Salinas to the desert then," Corda said April 8.

The Cube Sleeve is fun on its own, great for the desk, or a pivotal add-on to any existing Tegu set. Tegu cubes represent the most versatile shape in Tegu's building system and will provide hours of building fun.
For ages 0 and up
Tegu is a pioneering wooden toy company designing products that unleash the power of little imaginations. Introducing eco-friendly building blocks magically attracted by magnets, Tegu has unveiled the first wooden toys ever created to defy gravity. But, it gets better: building their own manufacturing plant in Honduras, Tegu is realizing a dual goal of creating dozens of jobs for men and women while working to replenish a sadly abused rainforest.
Warning: This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can cause complications leading to serious infections and/or fatality. Seek immediate medical attention if magnet are swallowed or inhaled.
Material: FSC-Certified Honduran Hardwoods
Brand: Tegu
Origin: Imported
The Tegu story didn't start with an idea for a new toy for kids — it started in 2006 with two brothers, Chris and Will Haughey, and their shared desire to help people struggling in the crumbling economy of Honduras. The two soon discovered that it was home to beautiful, sustainably-harvested tropical hardwoods — a draw for the grandchildren of an accomplished architect. When they came upon the classic wooden toys of Europe during a trip to Germany, the pieces came together — and they formed Tegu, the brand now renowned for its magnetic wooden block sets. Loved by kids, parents, and parenting blogs alike, the blocks are made from eco-friendly hardwoods and they're built to last — so hand-me-downs retain their just-out-of-the-box appeal.

Verses 1-2 Envy not sinners. And let not a desire ever come into thy mind, Oh that I could shake off restraints! ( 3-6 ) . Piety and prudence in outward affairs, both go together to complete a wise man. By knowledge the soul is filled with the graces and comforts of the spirit, those precious and pleasant riches. The spirit is strengthened for the spiritual work and the spiritual warfare, by true wisdom. ( 7-9 ) . A weak man thinks wisdom is too high for him, therefore he will take no pains for it. It is bad to do evil, but worse to devise it. Even the first risings of sin in the heart are sin, and must be repented of. Those that strive to make others hateful, make themselves so. Verse 10 . Under troubles we are apt to despair of relief. But be of good ( proverbs 24:11-12 ) know that his neighbour is in danger by any unjust proceeding, he is bound to do all in his power to deliver him. And what is it to suffer immortal souls to perish, when our persuasions and ( proverbs 24:13-14 ) quickened to the study of wisdom by considering both the pleasure and the profit of it. All men relish things that are sweet to the palate; but many have no relish for the things that are sweet to the purified soul, and that make us wise unto ( proverbs 24:15-16 ) do, by stumbling at some stone in his path; but gets up, and goes on his way with more care and speed. This is rather to be understood of falls into affliction, than falls into actual sin. ( proverbs 24:17-18 ) ( proverbs 24:19-20 ) ( proverbs 24:21-22 ) The godly in the land, will be quiet in the land. There may be cause to change for the better, but have nothing to do with them that are given change. ( 23-26 ) . The wisdom God giveth, renders a man fit for his station. Every one who finds the benefit of the right answer, will be attached to him that gave it. Verse 27 . We must prefer necessaries before conveniences, and not go in debt. ( proverbs 24:28-29 ) ( 30-34 ) . See what a blessing the husbandman's calling is, and what a wilderness this earth would be without it. See what great difference there is in the management even of worldly affairs. Sloth and self-indulgence are the bane of all good. When we see fields overgrown with thorns and thistles, and the fences broken down, we see an emblem of the far more deplorable state of many souls. Every vile affection grows in men's hearts; yet they compose themselves to sleep. Let us show wisdom by doubling our diligence in every good thing.

Background: Multislice cardiac CT angiography (MSCT) has emerged as a useful non-invasive modality for the diagnosis of the presence and severity of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Its diagnostic accuracy for detecting CAD in patients with chest pain syndrome and suspected CAD has been well validated, however, data on the prognostic value of MSCT for the prediction of adverse cardiac events is limited. We sought to evaluate the prognostic value of MSCT based on mortality in patients with suspected or established CAD.
Methods: We performed an observational analysis of 225 patients referred for MSCT in an outpatient cardiology practice from November 2005 to June 2008. In all patients, 64-slice MSCT coronary angiography was performed using standard protocol. All examinations were performed using dual-source Siemens CT scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Forchheim, Germany). Social security death index was used to determine mortality.
Results: Chest pain, asymptomatic CAD and an equivocal stress study were the most common indications for MSCT. Average age of our cohort was 64 ± 12 with males constituting 58%. Sixty-one percent had history of hypertension, 27% had dyslipidemia, 14% had diabetes mellitus, 6% were current smokers, and 47% had family history of premature CAD. Twenty-four percent had established CAD prior to MSCT evaluation. Mean follow-up was 19 months ± 4 months. We observed one mortality during the 19-month follow-up period. Event-free survival was 99.6%.
Conclusions: In our single center study, Multislice Cardiac CT Angiography had an excellent prognostic value in regards to mortality with a death in one out of 225 patients with an event-free survival of 99.6% during a follow-up period of 19 months.

Toyota Sienna Lease Questions
kingkong5 Posts: 1I'm in SoCal too! Just leased a Sienna Limited at the end of June from the dealership in Tustin. They had a promotion going on for their Siennas in stock. 0.00001 money factor on the lease with a $22,808 residual.
My Sienna Limited FWD had a sticker of almost $45k, with NAV, the superwide DVD, crossbar racks, and the standard stuff like dual moonroofs, La-Z-Boy 2nd row seats, power 3rd row folding. Since it was the last day of the month and they really need to make the sale, we decided we could live with the color (wanted blizzard pearl but out of the colors on the lot only gray mica would work for us), if we got a substantial discount.
Their initial offer was to lease it at $43.5k "sales price" plus TTL, and taking our trade-in at $6500 resulting in a $493/mo lease payment. Assuming we made all our payments and bought it for the residual price in 3 years, our total of payments including the trade-in would be $46.5k That wasn't going to happen, so we negotiated the price down to $38 even, got $8k for the trade, and our lease payment is $308/mo for 36 months and 36,000 miles. So in 3 years if we purchase at the residual price our total outlay would be $33.5k in payments plus $8k from our trade-in, which is $41.5k for the van, Plus sales tax on the residual portion, but that would be the same in any lease situation.
I can live with a $308/mo lease payment on this fantastic car, and I'm so happy I got rid of my Expedition and 12MPG. We didn't get laser cruise control; not sure how well that would work on our SoCal freeways, and no HID's or Xenon's or whatever the fancy headlights are. I'm fine with that, though. Hope you can get your Sienna soon, too. I was really surprised at the low money factor, they also offered the promotional purchase financing at 0.9%APR if we wanted to go that route. -
jenkay1 Posts: 5Up to turn in a Limited Rav 4 in Dec and would really like to lease an XLE Sienna MSRP $34K. What would be a good lease deal? Was offered $400/mo with $2000 down last month (believe that was everything). Have excellent credit. Was thinking $375 with $1000 down would be a good deal this fall but really not that experienced at this. Live in NY, 36,000 mi lease.
Would so appreciate advice -
chad75 Posts: 20Car-Man, can you provide lease factors for southwest Florida (33901) for a 2012 Sienna XLE 7-passenger AWD, 10k-12k miles/year, 36 months? With the Premium Package.
Thank you!
p.s. We are cross-shopping the Sienna with the VW Routan, mostly because VW is offering massive discounts on the Routan. Is it true that the Routan gets poor gas mileage, worse than advertised by VW? How about the Sienna, does it reach its claimed MPG figures? -
janoo Posts: 15Hi Guys,
Need your advice. I am in the process of negotiating a lease of a 2012 XLE AWD (loaded as it comes) with the navigation package, also come with the carpet floor mats/Door sill protector and 50 state Emissions (whatever that means). It is a 3 year lease and 12,000 per year. The final price of this deal is $430. I am putting zero down but am paying the taxes and bank fees up front and first months payment and DMV fees for a total of $2835 out the door. The dealer indicated that he will comp me the rubber matts and a remote start!!! The MSRP without the rubber matts and remote start is $38,667 Please let me know what you think?
Thanks again. -

insidecarbuy NYCPosts: 95I must say that Toyota deals are the worst to do. Just seems the dealer are the sneakyest and always try something on delivery for added profit. But I am happy with this deal as it was about $60 cheaper than 15+ other dealers. Its very well equipted with Convenience package, Limited Premium package, Roof Rack Cross Bars, Carpeted mats/Door sill protector and mudguards. MSRP - $47,846.00 Leased it for 36 months and 12,000 miles per year at $560.19 per month and total drive out of $954.48. The drive off included 1st month, DMV and Gap Insurance. Can you believe Gap Insurance is an option with Toyota Leases... who would lease a car without Gap Insurance... its included on every other lease I have ever done.

rjoh1969 Posts: 9Can anyone make sense of this lease quote?
Sales price: $35,863
Lease cash: $1000
Acquistion Fee: $650
Residual: $19,566
MF: .00001 or .024%
Tax Rate: 7.75% in OH
First payment and fees of $320 due at signing or $815.
The payment being quoted is $495/month for 36 months. My calculations show it should be $478/month. The only thing I can come up with is the money factor not being able to be combined with the lease cash (rebate). Thanks in advance for your input. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi jlkh. Toyota Financial Services' June buy rate lease money factor for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Sienna in its Chicago region is an extremely attractive .00001.
The residual value for this model is a little more difficult to determine. The 36-month, 12,000 mile per year residual value percentage for a base 2013 Sienna Limited AWD is 55%. However this is misleading because TFS places restrictions and caps upon what options can be residualized, making he effective residual value for this model likely somewhat lower than that. This unusual policy makes it difficult for individual consumers to work up accurate lease payments on specific vehicles on their own.
In the Chicago area Toyota is providing an a solid $1,500 cash incentive on leases of this van. Make sure to take it into account during your negotiations.

maudlin2001 Posts: 8Hi Car_man,
I am looking to Lease a 2013 Camry Hybrid LE (Ford Fusion Hybrid other option) plus a Toyota Sienna LE lease in South Florida.
For both the cars I have been offered
MF is 0.00045 and residual is 63%
But dealer is basing the selling price to be very close to invoice and state they cant offer the tru car pricing because cash incentives dont apply to the lease.
Can you please provide details for both the car and the van in south east for July?
Also any recommendation if the Excess Wear and Tear package offered for 595+tax is worth? -
nosferoitu Posts: 2Alex801
you did great, I am almost at the end of my Sienna XLE lease and i'm in excess of $500 per month for the same mileage allowance, however zero down. We were in the market for a rare color for our area (red) so we coudln't get the money factor down, but the LE's at that time was leasing at $389/month with money down.
good job did you need to negotiate? -
rjoh1969 Posts: 9Doing this deal tomorrow:
Sale Price before $1500 lease subvention cash is $41,480. Putting an additional $1500 down on a 36 month lease with 12K miles per year. Residual $24131, MF .00001. Add $650 acquisition fee. Monthly payment including 7.75% tax rate is $479/month.
Sign and drive payment would have been roughly $520/month.

Diversity Linguistics: Retrospect and Prospect
1-3 May 2015 (Leipzig, Germany)
Closing conference of the Department of Linguistics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
The Department of Linguistics at MPI-EVA will close at the end of May 2015 with Bernard Comrie's retirement. We are organizing this conference to celebrate eighteen years of research on the diversity of human languages by members and guests of the department.
All present and former members and long-term guests are invited to submit an abstract to speak at this conference. The topic may be any current research within the broad area of "diversity linguistics": research on little-studied languages, language typology and universals, comparative/historical linguistics, and evolutionary linguistics.
Our aspiration is that this conference will give a representative overview of past achievements and future prospects of research within the various subfields of diversity linguistics. We expect this to be a big conference bringing together many prominent researchers in language typology, historical linguistics, and language description and documentation. The conference programme will be announced publicly and anyone can attend.
Call for abstracts
Please send a one-page abstract for a 30-minute presentation to diversity_linguistics@[>>> Please remove the brackets! <<<]eva.mpg.de (as a PDF attachment).
Important dates
- Deadline for submission: 30 November 2014

Long He, Washington State UniversityGloves equipped with special sensors measure the pressure used to pick an apple.The days of mechanical apple harvest are inching closer to fruition.
Manoj Karkee, an assistant professor with the Center for Precision and Automated Agricultural Systems at Washington State University, is conducting research where robots and humans work side by side, according to a news release.
When apples are clustered or hidden by leaves, robots require complex algorithms to calculate how to identify them.
Humans, on the other hand, can quickly identify the fruit.
When the two work together in a mobile system, the fruit is identified in real time faster than by human or machine alone.
Karkee plans to develop specialized robotic methods to harvest fruit, taking into account the delicate nature of fruit and the dynamics of picking fruit by hand.
To develop a prototype, Karkee and his group will first determine how best to detach fruit from the tree.
They'll also study growth patterns of different apple varieties and record and analyze videos of hand motions.
The end result will be a mechanical hand that can remove the fruit without damaging it.
The project is being funded in part through the National Robotics Initiative.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Wednesday, October 12, 2011 [IMG] STRATFOR.COM [IMG] Diary Archives
A Dramatic Day in the Middle East
Two major events took place Tuesday in the Middle East. First, Israel
and Hamas had reached a deal in which captured Israeli soldier Gilad
Shalit, who has been held in the Gaza Strip since 2006, will be
exchanged for more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners being held by
Israel. Then within the hour of the initial reports about the prisoner
swap deal, U.S. authorities announced they had charged two individuals
allegedly working on behalf of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
in a [IMG] plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States
in Washington.
There is no evidence to suggest the two incidents are linked, but both
illustrate the massive changes sweeping the region.
Indirect talks between Israel and Hamas to secure the release of Shalit
have been taking place for years. In the past, all such parleys failed
to result in an agreement largely because Israel was not prepared to
accept Hamas' demand that 1,000 or so Palestinians (many jailed for
killing Israeli citizens) be released. But the political landscape in
the region has changed immensely since 2009, the last time the two sides
seriously deliberated over the matter.
"Like the prisoner swap deal, the revelation of an alleged Iranian plot
to kill the Saudi envoy to Washington on U.S. soil is a sign of the
dramatic changes in the Middle East."
The unprecedented public unrest sweeping across the Arab world in 2001
undermined decades-old autocratic political systems. From Israel's point
of view, the fall of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and the
threats to the stability of the regime of Syrian President Bashar al
Assad represent serious risks for Israel's national security, and
Israel's decision to agree to a prisoner swap deal is informed by the
new regional environment.
It will be some time before the entire calculus behind the move becomes
apparent. What is clear even now is that the prisoner swap deal has
implications for Israel, Hamas, intra-Palestinian affairs and Egypt.
Securing the release of Gilad Shalit will boost Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu's standing at home. The move also could help Egypt's
military leaders domestically, who can claim their intervention brokered
the deal (though with all the other turmoil in Egypt and November
elections approaching, the Palestinian issue is a secondary concern).
For Hamas, obtaining the release of more than 1,000 prisoners could help
it gain considerable political support among Palestinians and as a
result could complicate its power struggle with its secular rival Fatah.
This kind of concrete result compared to any potential symbolic victory
from Fatah's recent bid for U.N. recognition could reflect unfavorably
on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. And in successfully completing a
deal with Israel, Hamas can also portray itself as a rational actor,
nudging the Islamist militant movement closer to legitimization.
Like the prisoner swap deal, the revelation of an alleged Iranian plot
to kill the Saudi envoy to Washington on U.S. soil is a sign of the
dramatic changes in the Middle East. The details of the alleged plot
raise more questions than they answer, but already news of the plot has
complicated the Islamic republic's already-complex push for regional
In accusing the Iranian security establishment of plotting to murder the
ambassador of Saudi Arabia, its biggest regional rival, on the soil of
its nemesis the United States, the administration of U.S. President
Barack Obama may be showing it intends to take a harder line with Iran.
We have already seen tensions between Riyadh and Saudi Arabia rise to
unprecedented heights. Depending on the Iranian regime's actual
involvement, some in U.S. government circles may even consider the plot
an act of war on the part of Tehran.
At this early stage it is not clear how Iran will respond to the U.S.
allegations beyond strongly denying it was involved in any such plot,
but it has a number of places where it can choose to escalate matters -
Iraq, Bahrain, Lebanon to name a few. Iraq is the most significant, and
is already a battleground for influence between Washington and Tehran.
The United States has slightly less than 50,000 troops in the country
and wants to leave behind a significant residual force after the
end-of-2011 pullout deadline. Iran wants to see all U.S. forces leave by
Dec. 31, and can deploy both military proxies and significant political
influence in its western neighbor to block American efforts.
Though it is too early to say what the long-term consequences (if indeed
there are any) of the United States accusing Iranian government-linked
elements of trying to kill Saudi Arabia's ambassador on American
territory and Israel reaching a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas will
be, they demonstrate how rapidly the situation is changing in the Middle
East at a time of enormous uncertainty.

I was walking home from school.
My best friend asked if I had heard the president was shot. I hadn't. I thought it was some sort of joke.
I said I didn't believe him, but he insisted, adding that our principal came into class and said so. At this Chicago Catholic school where most of the teachers were nuns, the principal's word was divine truth.
"She didn't come into our class," I countered.
By then I was home, and when I walked into the kitchen I saw my mother was crying. She didn't have to say anything. I knew it was true.
And that's where I was when I learned President Kennedy was assassinated.
The 50th anniversary of his assassination is still a month away, but articles are already being published about the assassination and his presidency, new books are being released, new conspiracies are put forward and old ones being rehashed.
For those of you who don't remember Kennedy or the times, I'd recommend a couple of books. One is "President Kennedy: Profile of Power," by Richard Reeves, where I learned that Eisenhower didn't like him and JFK didn't exactly realize the influence his own words had on the Civil Rights movement.
Another good biography is "An Unfinished Life," by Robert Dallek, where I learned that when asked if he was a liberal or conservative, JFK answered: "I'm a realist."
Like many of my generation who remembers exactly where we where when we heard the awful news, I've spent the last 50 years asking why, wondering who did it, and imagining all the what-if scenarios.
I've read many of the conspiracy books. It was easy to see conspiracies everywhere after a decade of Vietnam, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, and then Nixon's fall.
After considering Kennedy was killed by a government plot, or by a power hungry Lyndon Johnson, or by an out of control CIA, or by organized crime or, finally, by a Secret Service agent in an incredibly tragic accident, I've come to the conclusion that Oswald did it and he acted alone. Everything else is bunk. Modern technology and ballistics prove it.
The realization that Oswald acting alone killed Kennedy leads one to the disorienting conclusion that Kennedy was killed for no reason. It was a senseless act with no overarching meaning. It changed the trajectory of the nation, but in a way that was just one of thousands of random possibilities.
Maybe we would have avoided Vietnam, maybe not. The breakdown in society we experienced in the years that followed was probably inevitable. But no Johnson and maybe no Nixon to follow? It is an interesting parlor game to consider.
Understanding my obsession with all things JFK, and obviously I am not alone in this obsession, might help the younger generation understand us Baby Boomers.
We forever long for it to be noon on Nov. 22, 1963, because the downward spiral leading to exactly where we are today began at 12:30 p.m. with those three shots. For us, the Kennedy assassination will always be an open wound that will never heal.

so "easy" to find a REAL emo band now a days. If you people didnt know before Hawthorne Heights isnt emo and all the other bands out there such as like my chemical romance and what not are also not emo MCR is post punk or pop punk so is HH basically because most/all of there lyrics are sad or deperessing were in real life emo is about the instrumentals yes there a some emo music with no lyrics yes i know its ODD~~~~ the genre of emo orignated in the 1980s time period 1986 is basically the most accurate time period and died out in the early 1990s and pop punk is suppose to be there so called "resurrection" the whole clothing thing has nothing to do with emo. Emo was basically all about the music they basically did have a clothing to go with it but it was basic and not focused on the clothing was basically solid pocket tees and no brand clothing with earth colors black ,white, brown ect.
Now a days what you see tellum haircuts and multi colored hair and skinny jeans and stripped leggings and billions of more other things people call "emo" are actually "scene" Scene is a type of fashion that again originated from punk and has some of its aspects and like i said is called EMO by stupid people that have no knowledge at all and try to make people feel low and bad about them selfs.
Emo is also a stereotype which is not a true because a music can not be a person or anyother thing cause its impossiable. The Stereotype is that most of people that are apart of 3m0 are typically sad all day hate there life are gay cross dress and so on when in real life all this is untrue people just make up these fibs to make people or mad or just because they dont like the style or w.e and try to cause other people to hate that w.e thing it is and other people to harm it.
Some people actually try to make emo w.e a cult or something thats just stupid it is the real ordeal is its music that has died out and some other thing ressurected from and is totally different i think its wrong to separte your self from sociey yes it good to be different but separting your self or trying to be in a cult is wrong because with or with out the clothes or hair or acsessories your still a human being.
i personally like some real emo bands and i have my share of pop punk bands that i like i like all kinds of music i think theres good in all music but im just sick of these little groups or w.e that are trying to be created trying to dress in a particaller style and listening to only one type of music or w.e gets boring, limits your you fun intake ability and everything there are no phiscal border that says NO DONT GO INTO HOT TOPIC YOUR NOT LIKE THAT OMG ITS SOOO WRONQ people made clothes to sell they dont give a shit if you it likes right on you they just sell it to get money and if you think it really looks wrong on you then dont fucking wear it all clothes are the same just the fabric and design and how you wear it is different and creating group and such are ruining peoples choices and basically life because they are limiting people clothing choices and mixing clothing is bascially POSERISSHHH :| come on thats stupid im just really pissed off and amazed how this is a big fucking deal wear what you want and talk to the people you want listen to music you want and stfu if you want to be cool you wont waste fucking 600000000 dollars on clothes just to talk to angelina or micheal or just to be cool its just pointless.
For all you stupid people out there get your shit straight before you start talking and care about yourself and other fucking stuff that matter, and posers if being cool is fucking importaunt and following fashion and stuff is a need go ahead and waste 90343254235323255 dollars your just wasting your time

Pandas! on a side note emo is more than just not smiling it's all emotions, rites of spring just tried to emphasize emotions in music rather than political agendas in the punk and hardcore scene where if you weren't on the same page you didn't belong emo brings different people together just writing sincere more poetic music with diversity in among the music and how it's played. emo is often very misunderstood where it's one of the best things that's happened for music.

emo kids (by Rob Dobi)
1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.
This is the sad truth of the emo lifestyle/music, and now that I look at how pathetic it really is, maybe the emos DO have something to cry about!
Goths hate Everyone
Emos Want to Kill themselves

boyfriend: I'm too sad to have sex.
girlfriend: I'm sad too; lets have sex and cry.
boyfriend: I'm already crying.
I just thought I'd clear that up after all of these "definitions" in which I have encountered an unbelievable amount of people who try to pass off their blatantly false pretenses as fact, and are slowly infecting others with their high-horse, holier-than-thou bullshit. Because honestly, with your ridiculous definitions, Beethoven, George Gershwin, and Britney Spears are/was "emo bands."
Now, onto the real definition.
In the early 90s there was a movement in the hardcore genre that came to be known as "Emotive Hardcore," spearheaded by Rites Of Spring. Harder-core-than-thou kids, who swore by Dischord Records a la Minor Threat, actually coined the term "Emo" as something of a put-down for the kids who really liked Rites Of Spring, Indian Summer and this new wave of "Emotive" Hardcore bands. That's right, "Emo" was once not something kids called themselves. The field exploded outwards from there - Level-Plane Records has always been the most famous Emo label. Acts like Yaphet Kotto, I Hate Myself, Saetia, Hot Cross, A Day In Black And White, Funeral Diner, I Would Set Myself On Fire For You, You And I, and hosts of others came in the next decade. Most emo bands have since broken up, but there's still the occasional hold-out (again, the majority of Level-Plane Records' roster has been a procession of emo acts). Like most DIY hardcore/punk of the time, a majority found its way onto vinyl and not much else. Some people consider bands like Fugazi, and later Sunny Day Real Estate, a progression of emo, but personally, I don't quite follow that philosophy.
Often, more recently, this gets intertwined with post-hardcore, and understandably so - that's nothing to make an issue of, since well shit, at least it's close.
Since the late 90s, though, bands have been emerging in the vein of Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, and the thousands of their clones. As far as I can tell, some lazy journalist somewhere, writing an article about them, decided "Well, fuck, no one knows what emo is anyways, so I'll call these bands "emo" - sounds more appealing than bubblegum pop rock..." and the spiral continued downwards into the current amalgomation of bands MTV has told everyone is "emo."
Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap.
Hope that helps.
Rites of Spring is emo.
