Eastwood Rust Encapsulator - Paint Over Rust in Black
Item #Encapsulator 16060
You thought it was good before...wait 'til you try this Rust Encapsulator! It seals and stops rust and corrosion from spreading, but it performs even better than our original formula. Tested against well-known brands, the Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has proven to be superior in sunlight resistance, preventing rust creep, and overall durability.
- Twice the corrosion resistance of our original formula for greater durability (tested to 500 hours in a salt-spray chamber)
- Epoxy-fortified for better adhesion and topcoat compatibility
- Penetrates deeper to prevent rust from spreading or forming, even in hard-to-reach areas
- Cures faster, and the low-VOC formula is acceptable in California
- 15-oz. aerosol covers about 10 sq. ft.
- As seen on "My Classic Car" TV show
About Eastwood Rust Encapsulator - Paint Over Rust in Black
Eastwood Rust Encapsulator has been tested by an independent lab to be one of the most effective rust-preventive products yet. Rust Encapsulator is a great primer for floor pans and other underbody parts. It fills tiny pin-holes and surface irregularities, and is compatible with lacquer, enamel and urethane topcoats (including Eastwood Chassis Black). For the absolute ultimate rust remedy, first brush or spray-on Eastwood Rust Converter, then prime with Rust Encapsulator. One 15-oz. aerosol covers about 10 sq. ft., and contains no isocyanates. Heat-resistant up to 400°F. Made in the USA.
Use a wire brush to remove loose rust, scale and paint, and remove dust, grease and oil deposits. Wipe down with either Acetone or Pre Painting Prep (10041Z). Feather surrounding paint with 220-grit sandpaper. Shake can for at least 2 minutes once the mixing ball starts to rattle. Hold the Rust Encapsulator can 10-12" above surface as you spray. A single coat dries to the touch in 20 minutes, and is thoroughly dry in 3-4 hours at 68°F. For greater durability, a second coat can be applied 1 hour after the first. Allow 6-8 hours after the last coat before applying topcoat. Use over or under body fillers.
Choose from the following:
14761Z is the Trial-Size Rust Encapsulator, Black, 2-oz. Aerosol
16060Z is the Rust Encapsulator, Black, 15-oz. Aerosol
26060Z is the Rust Encapsulator with Extension Nozzle, Black, 15-oz. Aerosol
16065ZP is the Rust Encapsulator, Black, 1-quart Can
16070ZP is the Rust Encapsulator, Black, 1-gallon Can
Quart can is also available in a 12-pack
(Q) Can Rust Encapsulator be applied with the Undercoating System?
(A) Technically, yes, but this application isn't recommended because Rust Encapsulator requires surface to be free of grease, oil, and loose rust. The best product to coat inside box sections is the Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust (16017ZP). This waxy, oily product flows into pinch welds and through rust to seal surfaces from contact with moisture and air, but cannot be painted over, so it's only suitable for inside box sections that don't show. Use lacquer thinner for cleanup.
Work in a well-ventilated area when applying this product. The use of a respirator is recommended. Shake vigorously for 2 minutes before spraying.
In places where little or no surface prep can be done, our Heavy-Duty Anti-Rust (16017ZP) is actually a better choice for applying into blind areas such as box sections.

It's time for me to admit it:
- I haven't been knitting my KAL socks because I made a mistake some rows back and I'm not sure I can rip it back to the right spot without just having to rip the whole thing.
- I haven't been knitting anything else out of a sense of guilt/commitment.
Yeah, this is a great plan. I don't even think the mistakes are super obvious, but apparently I can't handle keeping it.
Here's the offending sock:
So I'm going to take an official breather and then I think I'll just start over, with a better understanding of the pattern and how it's supposed to look. I think I need to start respecting my own instincts about when to think back a few rows because if I get too far in after errors that are too glaring I can't handle it.

Art Competition
It's that time of year again! The Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery, is underway and I hope you will consider encouraging high school students to participate.
Emma Hughes of John Day won last year's Congressional Art Competition for her artwork "Starry Eyed" (above). This piece is currently on display in the U.S. Capitol.
For those who have not participated in the competition before, this is a chance to recognize outstanding student artists in Oregon's Second District to display their artwork in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. A panel of judges who are experts in the field of art will choose the winner and runners-up. The winner will have their artwork displayed in the national student art exhibit in the U.S. Capitol and will receive a trip for two to Washington DC to see their artwork as well as a reception in honor of the student's talent. Runners-up will have their artwork displayed in one of my offices, located in Bend, Medford, La Grande, and Washington, D.C.
To enter the contest, students must submit no more than two pieces of artwork and the Student Information & Release Form by May 5, 2014 (EST). Please email photos of the artwork (JPEG format), along with the student's name, address, and school to Lizzie Litzow at firstname.lastname@example.com
Please review the following deadlines:
May 5, 2014 - Photos of artwork need to be submitted to Lizzie Litzow
May 7, 2014 - Selection of winning artwork by a panel of judges
June 26, 2014 - Congressional Reception held in Washington, D.C. for winner where Oregon's 2nd District artwork is revealed in the U.S. Capitol
All information regarding the Congressional Art Competition can be found at my website, www.walden.house.gov, under Art Competition. For more information, please contact Lizzie Litzow at (202) 225-6730 or firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
I appreciate your assistance in facilitating this year's competition, and I sincerely hope each aspiring art student in the Second Congressional District will take the opportunity to compete to have his or her art displayed along with that of other talented students from across the country.

I'm looking for something I can put boiled water in, in the morning, sit it on my desk and use as a source of water hot enough for herbal tea most of the day. asked Aug 29 '11 at 13:20 |
I misunderstood your request the first time.... You seem to be talking about an Airpot. Those are typically used to dispense coffee, but hot water should work fine, too. Zojirushi makes some products that are specifically designed to heat and then dispense hot water all day long. They are designed to have hot water instantly available at a precise temperature. The "hybrid water boiler and warmer" models have vacuum insulation and are very energy-efficient. They're also pretty fantastically expensive ($150 and up), so I don't know if that's your cup of tea. Zojirushi also makes the airpots. If you have a good source of boiling water and don't care about the water temperature slowly dropping during the day, those should work fine. Other Z products have been cool tools in other categories several times. Good products. linkanswered Sep 07 '11 at 21:59 floatingbones floatingbones latest answer is best yet. Thanks for the term "airpot", this is it seems what I want but I didn't know the name. I don't want something that also heats (I'm looking to reduce energy use) but the airpot looks good.

Thanks. Glad I was able to make the connection. If you read the description of the hybrid boiler/warmer at http://zojirushi.com/products/cvdyc , you'll see the product is designed to maintain the water temperature at 175, 195, or 208 degrees F and has a vacuum container. I'm guessing the heating element is used only a tiny amount after the water is heated and is used to maintain the precise desired temperature. The Japanese marketplace demands highly-efficient appliances -- far more than the US.

It's always wonderful when the appropriate term is used and all of a sudden a whole word opens up. Thanks again, Phil!

The Thermos beverage dispenser keeps hot water warm for 8-10 hrs, and has a push button on top: linkanswered Sep 03 '11 at 19:03 Richard M |
I have owned a variety of insulated coffee mugs and bottles over the years. The ones from Nissan/Thermos are good, but the best in the bunch are from Highwave (highwave.com). The JoeMo TC Tea mug (amazon.com link) is the best pushbutton vacuum tea mug in the land. They sell all sorts of interesting glass, steel, and stoneware products for water, coffee, tea, beer, and wine. The only loser is their LED Light mug: the light works, but it's a really cruddy design. All of their mugs and bottles are top-notch. linkanswered Sep 05 '11 at 18:24 floatingbones |

Lyon has a vast heritage of architecture comparable to Paris. Even though the city is more on the industrial side, you'll be surprised on the structures that span through generations. St Jean Cathedral is one of those structures that have a combination of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Located in the historic Place Bellecour, you'll be enthralled with the rose window and the stained glasses built as early as the13th century. You should be able to visit the Place des Terreaux where all the important cultural and political offices such as the Town Hall and Lyon's Grand Theater are located. Another structure you must see is the Palais St-Pierre. This building was originally a convent and is now the Musée des Beaux-Arts where collections from the prehistoric times are on display plus timeless masterpieces by some of the world's most renowned artists such as Gaugain, Manet, Monet, Picasso, Matisse and Delacroix. Just outside the Place des Terreaux is the restored structure of Notre Dame de Fourvière. The church is like a museum full of paintings and frescoes. Furthermore, its tower is accessible and it provides a grand view of Lyon.
If you want to know more about Lyon, you'll need more than a weekend. Lyon will never bore you as it boasts of being one of the top destinations in France in terms of food. The hotels in Lyon provide a sumptuous feast even in some of the discount hotels. Lyon is also a bustling industrial city with a number of establishments dedicated to textile and metal. When you get your reservation online in EasyToBook.com, you can choose the travel packages offered by some Lyon hotels. With so much great food to eat and places to see, you may as well opt for Lyon cheap hotels so you have a longer stay.

Does anyone else find the clip size for lasguns is far too large for dramatic purposes in OW?
I've run two sessions of my game and I've found the giant 60 shot clips on the Lasguns with 3 shot semi-auto burts mean that ammo conservation is pretty much unheard of and ammo-count housekeeping is a nuisance rather than something that ratchets up the tension. I keep asking players to count their shots but it seems silly when after a long session with near constant combat they'll often have only expended about 18 or so shots out of 240 in their basic kit.
I guess I was hoping for the kind of Gaunt's Ghosts' Hinzerhaus mood where ammo is rare and people are always worrying about their ammo and needing to reheat las packs and scavange to keep in kit. Anyone else finding this a problem, or coming up with creative solutions? Or am I just reading the rules wrong?

Men's Links
http://www.teva.com/sale_view_all/links/737872788636.htmlLegendary freeride mountain biker Jeff Lenosky can now add 'shoe collaborator' to his résumé. It's hard to find a part of the Links that Jeff didn't directly influence. He showed us his pedal; we designed a sole that integrates with it. He showed us the busted toe on his last shoe; we added a flexible armor across the forefoot. He showed us his wet, muddy shoes; we found ion-mask™ technology that actually prevents the materials on the Links from absorbing water on a molecular level (true story). We built this shoe for Jeff, but anyone who has ever gotten on a mountain bike will appreciate his influence.
Alternative black lace included.
This is a men's model with extended sizing for women and children. We recommend women order 2 full sizes down, e.g., women's size 8 should choose size 6. Kids can order as normal according to size (youth sizes 3-6).
Product Actions
Additional Information
Spider 365™
One rubber, huge range of uses. Spider365 Rubber is the spork of our rubber arsenal.
Shoc Pad™
You wouldn't ride a bike without a seat. The same logic applies for our Shoc Pad™ technology, which will give you a smooth ride without inhibiting your performance.
Mush® Infused Insole
Now we're not necessarily splicing Mush® genes back in the T.I.D.E Lab to build a hybrid mutant insole, but we do have an insole that's worthy of the Mush name.
ion-mask,™ technology by P2i, the world leader in liquid repellent nano-coating technology, falls into the category of what we call "magic tech." Imagine a process that allows you to make an object water repellent on a nanoscale, meaning that its very fibers repel water. It sounds like sci-fi, but that's what ion-mask™ does to our shoes.
Slipping off your pedal can be painful … and really, really awkward. To prevent that, we worked with our team of professional freeride bikers to develop the PedalLINK outsole. It was designed to link up with the pegs of your pedal to keep your foot in place and in control. On top of that, it's got lugs at the toe and heel to help you get around when you're off your bike.
- Our Spider365 Rubber sole will hold its grip in all kinds of environments
- The sole of the Links was designed specifically to interface with the unique platform of a bike pedal
- Aggressive tread designs at the toe and heel will grip the dirt when you're hoofin' it
- Teva E-Brake in the heel features a reverse lug pattern to give you downhill traction when you're off your bike
- A rigid heel stabilizer keeps your foot centered in the shoe
- ion-mask™ technology actually prevents the materials in this shoe from absorbing any water on a molecular level. It sounds like sci-fi, but it's real
- Waterproof materials throughout the shoe make it easy to wash the mud off
- A rubberized grid over the toe area is a breathable armor that prevents abrasion or ripping
- Leather and mesh upper
- A Shoc Pad™ in the heel makes for a smooth ride
- Extra padding throughout the upper softens your landings
- Strong plastic wraps around the back of the shoes to protect your heel
- Elastic gores on the tongue give you a snug fit
- Our Mush® Infused Insole brings the absurd comfort of our flip flops into a shoe

Comments about Links:
After seeing Teva's Kurt Sorge take the redbull rampage last year, I thought I'd try them out. I've been riding 5.10s forever. The Tevas are comfortable, look nice and have an AMAZING waterproof shielding. Unfortunately, these are for mountain biking - and have a very specific purpose... GRIP. Unfortunately these don't stick to the pedals anywhere near as well as my 5.10 Impacts. I was slipping all over the place in these, I just couldn't justify using them over my tried and true 5.10s. Bummer.
Bottom line, these are great for mountain biking if you are coming into the sport and haven't used other brands, but for about the same price they don't perform as well.

Comments about Links:
Basically when got the shoe thought it was the best I ever got. Not too sticky and the sole did it's job really well.
Really comfy on and off the bike - I wen't practically everywhere with it. Until basically a week ago when the sole started separating from the rest of the shoe. Major on the left, a little on the right.
Not a major fix with some glue, but from a couple reviews online I get it I'm not the only one with this problem. Pretty annoying for a top-o-line shoe and really let me down. I can understand such mishaps on no-name shoes, but Teva? No use for great features if they fall apart!

Love these shoes, super comfortable, amazing mountain bike shoe!

Cyling shoe usually have hard midsoles (that doesn't bent) so that a maximum of energy may transit from the foot to the pedal. Is this the case of the Teva Cycling shoes?Asked on 4/7/2014 by Scott from PA1 answer
The links offer a litte flex, but they have the Shoc Pad technology which transfers the energy of empact through the footbed and away from the heel. This energy actually provides greater spring with each forefoot push-off.Answered on 4/10/2014 by Teva Product Specialist

Gunnison elections were planned for Tuesday to fill Alderman Demorris Raymond's position.
To become a qualified candidate a person must have the signature of 15 registered voters, however the two candidates running against Hopson did not qualify because several of the signatures were from people not on the voter roll.
Hopson, a life-long resident of Gunnison, said he is very concerned about the community, especially the water system and streets.
"I also want to help get grants and law enforcement for the town," he said.
Hopson is very active in the community and belongs to several organizations. He is a Shriner, 32nd degree Mason and Master Mason.
"The job description of a town alderman-at-large is similar to that of a councilman. The alderman will serve on the board. Decisions are made in regards to city funds and how they are used, as well as creating city ordinances. The alderman at large represents citizens of the entire city," said Gunnison City Clerk Marquita Payne.
Hopson will be on the board until June 2016.
"I feel great. We will have a lot of ceremonies this evening that I'm looking forward too," said Hopson.

Pace Glove 2 colour choices are not only ho-hum but so too, the shoe isn't much different and not a complete disaster, but it's tongue is larger, brushes up agains the front of my ankle - I just never had any hot spots with the old version. Pace Glove 2 still, like the Pace Glove has many positive similarities but I miss the flawless original Pace Glove and I especially miss the grey colour. If at least they could make this in a more neutral colour than the yellow "hello" and the black, would be at least more like ol' times.

You can clean the hook side with a metal comb, and the loop side by putting a piece of duct tape on it and then pulling it back off. There's also a tool called a GripClean that is used for this, although I have not tried it. linkanswered Nov 22 '11 at 07:00 Jon Konrath |

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Research results so fresh that some have not yet been published in scientific journals held the attention of 300 attendees at the fourth annual Center for Produce Safety Symposium.
Coral BeachJim Gorny, vice president for food safety and technology at the Produce Marketing Association, sums up research presentations from the CPS Research Symposium.Scientists presented summaries of thousands of hours of research on diverse food safety topics including the potential use of ultraviolet treatments to kill pathogens on soft fruits and the best practices for compost production.
Panels of experts from government, fresh produce companies and academia offered on-the-spot interpretation of the research, moderated by the Produce Marketing Association's chief science officer and vice president of food safety and technology, Bob Whitaker and Jim Gorny, respectively.
The day after the two-day symposium at Wegmans Conference Center, Whitaker and Gorny provided additional insight during a follow-up session presented by the Newark, Del.-based PMA.
"Research by itself isn't much help," said Whitaker, who is chairman of the CPS Technical Committee that oversees the center's research funding program.
"This new research must be considered in the context of the knowledge base we have been building."
Executive director Bonnie Fernandez-Fenaroli said the CPS plans to post the new research on its website as soon as possible, adding to the international food safety database already available on the site at cps.ucdavis.edu. Whitaker said PMA also plans to post information from the symposium on its website as early as the second week of July.
Following is a sampling of the research and panel discussions presented June 26.
Cut to cool
Although it was not a primary research target, data gathered in several projects reinforced the need for fresh produce to be cooled as quickly as possible after harvest.
Coral BeachJohnny Massa (left), general manager of Salinas-based Comgro Soil Amendments Inc., stresses the importance of composting best practices during a panel discussion at the CPS Research Symposium."The best thing we can do for quality is to get product harvested, in the cooler and down to temperature right away," Whitaker said.
"And it turns out it's the same thing for food safety."
Increased buffer zones?
Many buyers require minimum distances between growing fields and concentrated animal feeding operations, but research by Elaine Berry of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Meat Research Center, showed that additional factors should be considered.
Prevailing winds and movement of animals in and out of pens increase the airborne transfer of pathogens to nearby produce, according to Berry's research.
Michael Burness, Chiquita's vice president for global quality and food safety, said during a panel discussion that Berry's findings mean buyers should not merely rely on minimum distance requirements.
"In risk assessments we capture the data on wind, rain, whether the produce is uphill or downhill from the animals," Burness said. "This research shows those factors are more important than previously thought."
'Hot dog' sanitization
Another USDA scientist, Xuetong Fan, is working to develop methods for growers of soft fruits to remove pathogens without damaging the fragile product. His team worked with a mid-size grower to test the practicality of using ultraviolet light to sanitize apricots.
He found that bathing apricots in UV light while they pass through tunnel-like chambers on a conveyor killed some pathogens, but the light could not reach all sides of the apricots. Fan's team modified a rotating hot dog cooking device to spin the apricots, thus exposing all sides without adding damaging drops to the pack line.
Sanitization results were dramatically better when the apricots were rotated, Fan said. The difficulty now is developing commercial-sized rotating devices and overcoming low levels of consumer concerns about ultraviolet exposure, he said.
Compost concerns
USDA researcher Manan Sharma studied testing methods to detect pathogens in compost. During a panel discussion following Sharma's presentation, Johnny Massa, manager of Salinas-based Comgro Soil Amendments Inc., said that testing is crucial, but added it is only one component of composting best practices.
Massa said growers should ask compost providers about production processes to make sure no shortcuts are involved in the interest of cost or time savings. Strict timetables for turning and drying, as well as regular temperature readings are absolutely necessary. He said pathogen problems arise when steps are skipped.
Salmonella and E. coli in particular will survive and multiply, Massa said, if composters "lick it, stick it and get it out the door" just to meet a delivery schedule. Production schedules should define compost production, he said.

The teens — Austin Oliver, Haden Hamilton and Ezra Taylor — have been friends since they were 6 years old and have formed a slacklining team called The Cleveland Slackers.
The Cleveland Slackers have become so adept at the twisting, bouncing, swinging and walking on the slackline, they've caught the attention of a major company and were invited to a national tournament in Richmond, Va., this month.
Their practices on video have been picked up by the Gibbon Slackline Co., which represents the boys, and is featuring them on www.gibbonslacklines.com. They have been placed on a development team.
Slacklining is the act of balancing along a narrow, flexible piece of webbing which is low to the ground and usually anchored between two trees. Originating in the climbing world, slacklining has evolved into a cross trainer, backyard activity and sport all its own.
Slacklining can be traced back to climbing camps in Yosemite National Park during the mid 1970s. Climbers would stay there for weeks blazing new routes and in their time on the ground they starting rigging climbing rope to walk across.
They found that the activity improved their core strength, balance and movement for climbing — and was fun.
Gibbon has fueled the next generation of slacklining by making it easy and accessible to everyone. The 2-inch webbing and ratchet tensioning design make the Gibbon line friendlier to walk on and easier to set up. No additional tools or rigging are needed; just the kit and a couple of trees and you're ready to go.
The company has also introduced slacklines (jib and surf) that are made of trampoline material. This new more dynamic type of line has led to a branch of the sport known as tricklining. Now, competitions are held all over the world ranking the best trickliners.
Gibbon has not forgotten its roots and has designed slackline-specific 1-inch webbing that can be rigged traditionally or with the ease of Gibbon hardware.
In the May competition, the Cleveland Slackers will have the opportunity to become members of Gibbon's professional team.
The competition will include world champion slacklines such as Andy Lewi, who did the slackline at the halftime show with Madonna in 2012.
The teens, who practice their slacklining skills at Tinsley Park in Cleveland, can be found there most weekdays and weekends. "They usually draw a crowd," said Carol Oliver, Austin's mother.

Cadillac DTS Lease Questions
twm1944 Posts: 2Car_Man
I forgot to include the "sale" price of $41,600 to the previous messsage.....(below)....
I am considering the lease on a 2006 DTS Luxury II. MSRP is $44,490 including destination. Term is 39 months and 12,000 miles. I have $1,500 "GM cash" and current $1,000 GM incentive for capital cost buy down. What should I expect to pay.
(The money factor and residual would be helpful. I live in Michigan.)
thanks again
twm -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi twm1944. In addition to the cash incentives that you mentioned, you should be able to negotiate a dealer discount on this car as well. Its exact monthly payment will depend upon how much of an additional discount you negotiate. If you let me know what the selling price of the car that you are interested in is, I can estimate what its lease payment should be for you.
Prices Paid Forums -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Ahhhhh, thanks for the additional information, twm1944. I should have scrolled ahead. OK, let's work up a lease payment on this car and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac DTS with an MSRP of $44,490 and a selling price of $39,100 ($41,600 - $1,500 GM cash - $1,000 incentive) through GMAC right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $483. I used a lease rate of 3.75% and a residual value of 57% to arrive at this payment. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi nav3. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac DTS with an MSRP of $48,840 and a selling price of $39,000 through GMAC right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year (I have not seen its 39 month lease program), your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $415.

vpfinn Posts: 1I am planning on leasing a 2006 Cadillac DTS-Luxury II model with a MSRP of $47685. The lease will be for 39 months, 10,000 miles per year, with no money down and taxes included in the lease. I am trading in a car for $9000. and that money will be rolled into the lease.
Can you please tell me what the lease should cost me monthly.
Thank you. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi vpfinn. there's nothing wrong with trading in your current vehicle when leasing. However, it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for your car rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease. I say this because consumers who make large down payments on leases risk losing their money if their leased vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.
You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to work up a sample lease payment on the car that you are interested in for you if you let me know what its selling price is.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi acp60. I don't believe that GMAC is providing lease support on 2006 Cadillac models any longer. As a result, if you were to lease one right now you would have to do so through an independent bank. This late in the model year, you actually might be better off leasing a 2007 model. Make sure to get a payment quote in a similar 2007 model before leasing a 2006.
Prices Paid Forum -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Yes, dtsman, General Motors is running a lease pull ahead program right now. It allows current GMAC lessees out of their deals three months early at no charge if they purchase or lease a new GM vehicle. As an added bonus, I believe that consumers who take advantage of this program get a $1,000 bonus that they can apply towards their new vehicle. You would be able to take advantage of this offer, but you won't be able to use it to cover all of your remaining lease payments on your SRX. You will have to pay money out of pocket to get a new Cadillac. As a result, if I was in your situation I personally would wait until I was closer to the scheduled end of my lease to get something new.

linda1056 Posts: 1I recently turned in my GMC lease one month early and bought a new GMC. My lease was through GMAC. My new vehicle is through a different bank. Do I still qualify for the pull ahead program because I turned in a GM early and bought a new GM or did this have to be done only if I financed through GMAC both times? Thanks.
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515
billharbin Posts: 1dtsman,
I have a beautiful Blue Chip Performance model with every option except nav. Tuscony Black Leather is very nice. I took a 39 mo. GMAC lease in March 2006. The car is sitting in my step-mother's driveway in Calhoun GA with 10,000 miles on it. I'm on a long term overseas assignment and won't be back before the lease ends. Since your lease is up in August, you could take over the remainder of the lease and get 32,900 miles for $680/mo. If this sounds good to you, please reply either here, or my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com. -
jmschultz22 Posts: 2
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Here's the information that you're looking for, jmschultz22. GMAC's base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2007 Cadillac DTS with 12,000 miles per year are 3.75% and 64%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 3.75% and 57%. When negotiating your lease on the DTS that you are interested in, make sure to take advantage of the $1,000 lease cash that is currently available on it.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum -
vic10 Posts: 188I've always paid cash for my cars (paying myself a monthly car payment which then becomes the cash to buy the replacement vehicle). Typical mileage is 12k per year. And I keep them for approx. 6 years (though an '85 Park Ave. was dumped as soon as the warranty expired at 3 years). I currently own a 2005 300C with 36k miles and am looking at trading it for a DTS (or maybe CTS) in the Spring, and would likely keep it till the RWD DTS arrives in 2010 - 2011 (assuming the new one stays in the current DTS price range). A colleague made the comment that "unless you like to keep your cars for 8 - 10 years, leasing is the most cost effective way have a car". Is that a true statement?

[OS] GERMANY/EU/ECON - Euroscepticism rises in crisis-weary Germany

- filed under: debt, Finance, Germany, economy, Headline2, public, euro
(BERLIN) - A decade after swapping the mighty deutschmark for the euro,
the once fiercely pro-euro Germans are becoming more eurosceptic, analysts
say, as people in Europe's top economy tire of the debt crisis.
With the eurozone's woes on the front pages most days, people in Germany,
who are paying the lion's share into the rescue packages, appear to be
turning against the single currency but remain faithful to the EU, surveys
A poll by the German Marshall Fund published Thursday found 76 percent of
Germans were in favour of the European Union but that percentage dropped
to 48 percent when asked about the monetary union.
Germans are fed up of stumping up for what they see as profligate
countries such as Greece that have failed to undertake the hard economic
reforms Germany has, said Claire Demesmay, from the German Council on
Foreign Relations.
"In the Germans' popular imagination until now, Europe had a very positive
image, synonymous with anchoring Germany in the western world and
international acceptance," she said.
"But now there is a feeling that the Germans have made painful reforms and
the others have not," she added, citing labour market changes made under
former chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
Signs of mounting German anger at the euro are growing. Even Germany's EU
Commissioner, Guenther Oettinger, has suggested the flags of deficit
sinners should be lowered outside European institutions.
A former captain of industry, Hans Olaf Henkel, has called for a "monetary
club" limited to Germany and "fiscally virtuous" northern euro states.
Joachim Starbatty, an economist, has given the eurozone "around two years"
to live.
And a handful of demonstrators wielding placards proclaiming "Let's Get
Out Of The Euro" recently protested outside the European Central Bank
building in Frankfurt, the very symbol of the currency.
Germany's top-selling Bild on Thursday mocked up the same building as if
it were collapsing with an accompanying editorial: "What country are we
living in nowadays? Our government did not swear an oath to save the
Greeks from harm."
Conscious of the prevailing public mood, politicians are burnishing their
own eurosceptic credentials.
Economy Minister and Vice Chancellor Philipp Roesler sent markets into a
tailspin last week with loose talk of a Greek default, earning himself a
rebuke from Chancellor Angela Merkel.
His Free Democrats, junior partners in the ruling coalition, appeared to
gain a boost from the anti-bailout line, with a poll published Friday
showing them up two points to five percent. Merkel's conservatives fell
two points to 33 percent.
Meanwhile President Christian Wulff, not generally known for outbursts on
monetary policy, recently upbraided the ECB for its controversial policy
of buying government bonds.
And this year, the country's two most senior central bankers, Bundesbank
President Axel Weber and ECB chief economist Juergen Stark, both resigned
in an apparent huff over how "un-German" the management of the euro is
Merkel herself rarely misses an opportunity to tell the public that the
euro is as strong and stable a currency as the deutschmark, the powerful
symbol of Germany's strength and post-war "economic miracle."
"In spite of all the turmoil, I note that the euro has stood the test of
time. It is as stable and valuable as the D-Mark," she said Thursday as
she opened the IAA car fair, another display of Germany's industrial
But the rising unwillingness of German voters and policymakers to continue
to bail out the debt-wracked countries of the eurozone is causing Merkel a
real headache politically.
On September 29, she faces a parliamentary vote on expanding the EU's
rescue fund, the EFSF, and is bracing for a backbench revolt that could
throw into doubt the continued viability of her fragile coalition
In contrast, similar bills have sailed through in Italy, Spain and France,
which are all struggling with debt.
Some have expressed concern about Germany's growing eurosceptic trend.
"The tone of the debate in Germany has become hateful: it has a whiff of
'we know it all'. It is arrogant and vindicative," blasted the Die Zeit

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.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday
called his Italian counterpart Giorgio Napolitano on the situation in the
European power, said White House spokesman Jay Carney, in the wake of the
announcement by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi that he will step
"I can tell you that the president spoke with President Napolitano this
morning about the situation in Italy," Carney told reporters at the
"He expressed confidence in President Napolitano's leadership to put an
interim government in place in Italy that will implement an aggressive
reform program and restore market confidence," he said.
Berlusconi said on Wednesday that he will not stand if Italy holds early
elections, a day after promising to step down once the parliament approves
urgent budget reforms for 2012.
The 75-year-old premier said that once the budget measures for 2012 are
passed, Italian President Giorgio Napolitano will begin consultations
naming as his likely successor a 41-year-old Sicilian lawyer, Angelino
Alfano, who is now the secretary of his People of Freedom Party.

In my last blog, I discussed the importance of diversifying your portfolio and investors' concerns about diversifying by investing in bonds. At this time, investing cash in bonds with interest rates so low is definitely risky, as when interest rates rise, the values of bond funds will most likely go down.
However, there are several ways to add yield to your short-term investments through investing in the bond market. Here are a few that you should consider. Even better, spread your risk among several of these choices.
• Invest directly in bonds instead of buying a mutual fund. Individual bonds should be bought in increments of $25,000 or more, and you need enough investment to buy 8 to 10 bonds for proper diversification. Their value may decline at times over the life of the bonds, but you will have peace of mind knowing that when they mature, you will receive the full par or face value, assuming the bond does not default. You should buy bonds through a reputable firm as the spreads (the difference between what you pay for the bond and what the seller receives for the bond) can be as high as 3 percent. You want to minimize the spread so that you pay as little for the bond as possible, thereby maximizing your yield and return. If you ladder the bonds' maturities, then, as each one comes due, you can use the proceeds to invest in new bonds at potentially better rates.
• Consider a bond fund (instead of individual bonds) whose manager can invest in a variety of fixed-income securities, which are less interest-rate sensitive. Those investment types can include TIPS (Treasury Inflation-protected Securities), floating-rate bonds, high-yield bonds (typically trade in line with stocks), mortgage-backed securities (generally go up in value as interest rates increase, because people typically do not refinance at higher rates) and emerging market bonds (typically less sensitive to changes in U.S. bonds). A couple of funds to consider are TGBAX (Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund), Pimco Unconstrained Bond Fund (PFIUX) or the tax-managed version, which is PUTIX.
• You can also invest in the above securities directly or through a security-specific fund, if you prefer. In my opinion, however, these comprehensive unconstrained funds offer diversification and low transaction costs. In addition, their objectives include adjusting portfolio holdings to take advantage of opportunities and to protect assets from interest-rate and credit risks.
• Consider including a short-duration bond fund. My favorite is ITM, Market Vectors Intermediate Municipal Index exchange-traded fund (ETF). Note, the shorter the duration, the less interest-rate sensitive the bond fund.
Whatever you decide, recognize there remains a risk of principal loss, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

In 1958, Foster's grandsons Joe and Jeff renamed the company Reebok, after a type of African gazelle. They discovered the name in a South African dictionary Joe won in a childhood race.
Reebok came into prominence in the early 1980s, thanks to the introduction of the Freestyle training shoe specifically designed for women participating in the aerobics fitness craze. The Reebok Freestyle was popular not only as athletic wear but also as a casual shoe because of its styling and comfort.
Reebok shoes with ZigTech technology are designed to conserve and return energy to the athlete and provide a soft, springy ride. The ZigTech outsole features an innovative, lightweight foam that is engineered into a zig-zag shaped sole that absorbs the impact of heel strike and sends a wave of energy along the length of the shoe, propelling the athlete forward with each step.
RealFlex shoes feature 76 independent "sensors" on the outsole that are strategically positioned to adapt to all training surfaces. These "sensors" work together throughout the runner's stride, promoting natural movement and flexibility. RealFlex promotes and enhances natural movement in a way that allows the athlete to move the way nature intended. The result is a shoe that delivers all the benefits of barefoot running with the protection of a traditional running shoe.
CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program designed to help people gain a broad and general fitness. Designed to prepare people for any physical challenge, CrossFit programs concentrate on constantly varied functional movements that are performed at a high intensity to achieve overall physical fitness. Reebok CrossFit shoes and clothing are made to meet the demands and needs of CrossFit athletes.

Sorry if I confused everyone - really not an etiquette question - just the other side of the fence from Toot's dilemma. I told her that I would bring a 13 X 9 pan of Butternut, Large Sala d big mixing bowl , Large tin of toffee candy and 2 cheeseballs and crackers. I really do not xare if that is enough for 20 or not, I'm not hosting or catering.
Oh, I don't think she committed to "providing half the food for the entire meal."I think she committed to "bring a 9x13 pan of butternut squash, a large salad, some candy and some cheese."Betty can take care of the rest--she's a grownup!And if it's a disaster, then POF can take her family home and feed them food at their own house. I'm sure they won't hold it against POF if there's not enough food. (I'd be tempted to make sure everyone ate a very late and very large breakfast, just in case.)POF is just "helping out a little," and as long as she has been clear about what she is bringing, the TRUE hostess has ALL the responsibility of making sure there's enough food for her guests.
I will bring an app, 2 sides and a dessert and that is it. I told her that was all I could manage. I am bringing mashed butternut, fall salad and my toffee candy. App will be a cheese tray.
I told her that I would bring a 13 X 9 pan of Butternut, Large Sala d big mixing bowl , Large tin of toffee candy and 2 cheeseballs and crackers.


text: I sort most of mine by design shop and seem to find them easier that way, then by designer. Plus all my purchased files go in a separate folder by designer name. If I get an occasional file - I have folder called 'components' and subfolder with frames, flowers, QPs, minis, etc. I have also started folders with holidays, seasons-fall, spring for the blog trains. When you get a lot of files, it still is a problem remembering where to go to get a file you want. One thing would really be helpful is to have designers name, kit, type file at least paper, frame etc. on each file.

Leonard Cohen: The CBC-designated Melancholy Bard
The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) has conveniently packaged a series of performances by and interviews with Leonard Cohen from their TV and radio archives under the title, Leonard Cohen: Canada's Melancholy Bard. While the quality varies from clip to clip, there is substantial entertainment, information, and insight to be gleaned from this treasury.
The series is plotted in chronological order from Poet, 22, splashes on to world stage in 1958 to Leonard Cohen looks back (two parts), an interview that took place in February 2006. The symbols on the timeline above indicate the dates of the available clips.
The Leonard Cohen-This Hour Has Seven Days Interview
My vote for Best Of Show among the clips comprising Leonard Cohen: Canada's Melancholy Bard is On the road to singing sensation , which was originally broadcast in conjunction with the publication of Cohen's novel, "Beautiful Losers," in 1966 on This Hour Has Seven Days.1
Cohen's interviewer, Beryl Fox, is not a brainless talking head.
She is, in fact, recognized as a pioneer in investigative reporting and as an accomplished documentary filmmaker.
While working for the CBC, she was known for her insightful and critical examinations of U.S. politics, the feminist movement, and racial conflicts. She was also a groundbreaking critic of the role of the U.S. in the Vietnam War.2
She continued making documentaries and, later, feature films after leaving the CBC in 1966.
Accordingly, the interview is not a puff piece nor are her queries to Cohen softballs lobbed over the plate to make the star look good. The conversation is challenging, engaging, personal, and even edgy in a place or two.
In addition, there seems to be, especially on Ms Fox's part, elements of sexual tension and flirtatiousness.
Note: It does appear that on the date of the interview, either Ms Fox had the misfortune to experience a catastrophically bad hair day or a small mammal somehow landed on her head and took up residence there. The composite photo below provides a more balanced perspective on her appearance.
Leonard Cohen exercises the poet's prerogative of re-interpreting and manipulating her words and his own to distract and deflect. A trivial but nonetheless amusing example follows:
Leonard Cohen: I always had this feeling that new things were beginning, and I thought that I would change my name and get a tattoo.
Beryl Fox: Where?
Leonard Cohen: There's this place on St. Lawrence Blvd.
The interviewer's facial expression at that point is a bonus.
Cohen is provocative, claiming, for example, that Canada has no government and that any couple not in love should be divorced. Fox presses (at one point she asks how Cohen's mother reacted to reviews calling his book pornographic) but does so politely and does not redirect her interviewee when he flares off on his tangent of choice.
It is rewarding viewing.
The Media
The clips of Leonard Cohen: Canada's Melancholy Bard begin with
Poet, 22, splashes on to world stage
The Leonard Cohen -This Hour Has Seven Days Interview discussed above is found at On the road to singing sensation
Leonard Cohen -This Hour Has Seven Days Interview
- This Hour Has Seven Days was a CBC Television newsmagazine inspired by the British satire series That Was The Week That Was. It was also controversial enough that after a two year run, it was taken off the air following the 1966 season. [↩]
- The AV Trust Of Canada lauds her 1965 documentary, "The Mills of the Gods: Viet Nam," in this excerpt:
Beryl Fox's The Mills of the Gods remains the quintessential example of Canadian documentary filmmaking. Fox takes us into the Vietnam War and allows us to see first hand the futility, sorrow and inhumanity at its core. Her theme of the conflict between people and ideologies is a universal and timeless one, told through haunting sound and visual images. Today, 34 years after it was first telecast, scenes of brutal civilian casualties, torture of POW's, and gleeful napalm bombing still shock and outrage us. Contrasted with this horror are scenes from the everyday life of the Vietnamese peasantry, working in the fields, shopping in the market, going to school. Fox creates for the viewer a sense of tension and foreboding, ultimately borne out in images of death, destruction and bodybags on the nightly news. The Mills of the Gods transcends the banality of mass media images of war and still retains its extraordinary power and poignancy.
A clip of the film is available at ~The Mills of the Gods: Viet Nam~ [↩]

No, I wasn't the girl going up the escalator in the seventh with cinnamon roasted almonds in my hand and tears in my eyes.
Okay, fine. I was.
Let's just say I was really happy to be back. As were 39,000 other people. 39,000 people at an exhibition game. That's sort of a lot. It didn't seem that full when I was sitting down, but when I walked around, it was a madhouse. And I can't even count how many people walked into me. I'm not that short. I don't get why people walk into me.
If it looks like I think am in an Arctic Winter to you, you are absolutely right. It was freezing cold. I am now cured of my wanting those nuts ever again. Craving is gone. They were, uh, fine. Just fine. And yes, I had almonds. Because they were out of walnuts. What else is new?
Right. Exhibition game. It wasn't that different from a regular game except the players were wearing their Spring Training jerseys and there were no photos on the scoreboard.
That was weird. It felt vaguely like they were just doing that to remind you it wasn't a regular season game. But maybe there was a good reason. The real reminder that it was March 28th was the fielding. The hitting and pitching on both teams was basically really good, but nobody could field. There were no errors but a lot of sloppiness.
And the moment when Tejada and Sandoval ran out into shallow left to try and catch a ball and Burrell just stood there with a "battle it out, brothers" look on his face. Nobody caught it. That was one pitch after the exact same thing happened in right.
It was a really good game and a good night. Now if you'll excuse me… I'd better go do some Normal Person stuff before heading over to the Coliseum later this afternoon. It's Zito vs. Gonzales. I. Am. So. Excited.
Isn't that most beautiful view?
