eds1300 Posts: 71I got the sale price to $33,995.00 with metallic paint, premium, automatic and xenon lights.
The dealer wants $3,453 cash down, with $2,660 in cap reduction, which I am not going to do. I asked for 65% residual based on 12,000/36-month, but he can only come up with 64% on 10,000. He stated that BMW does not offer 65% residual and that they are firm with money factor of .0029(a 7.3% apr). With $4,500 drive off puts the monthly payment at $423.00, which includes taxes.
The selling price is good, but the fees and financing does not sound good at all right now. I will send more emails to other Bay area dealers. -
kyfdx Posts: 31,877One point... quit negotiating residual.. It is set by BMWFS, and is not negotiable..
Base money factor is .0025.. that is as low as they can go..
You never have to make a cap cost reduction... They are only showing that to make the payment look lower... Of course, without the cap cost reduction, the payment will be higher..MODERATOR

eds1300 Posts: 71>>One point... quit negotiating residual.. It is set by BMWFS, and is not negotiable..

True, but I had one dealer giving me a residual of 63% on 15,000/36-month, while another giving me 64% on 10,000/36-month. You would think 15,000 miles less in a vehicle would warrant higher than 1% residual. Post 4229 got their money factor down to .00199, but i'm guessing they put some money down to lower their rates. I will trying again to lower the money factor to .0025, but it seems the dealers are very reluctant.
Thanks for your help K. -
kenshiro Posts: 16Hi All,
I have requested a quote from several local dealers and the lowest quote I received was $1300 over invoice price. The car I wanted includes Premium Package and Steptronic.
Does invoice price = the invoice price for the car and the invoice price of all the options as well or just the car? So the final price should be around the same as the total with options invoice price I receive from Edmunds ($37550+$1300)?
Are there any other charges that dealer may put on it other than tax/fee?
Thanks for the responses -
davidd3 Posts: 582The main reason most people lease rather than buy is because monthly payments are considerably lower (and therefore more affordable) on a lease. This is because you are only financing the depreciation portion. BMWFS sets the residuals pretty high, which makes the depreciation portion less.
rhmass Posts: 263Invoice price should include all the options as well. Other fees dealers may tag on include "advertising" which you should insist on not paying and "documentation" which is negotiable. You can also ask the dealer to throw in floor mats, and touch-up paint (you'll need it in time) as no cost items.
newowner Posts: 18I really want the '06 325ix and want to pay invoice or a few hundred over. A salesman from Mercedes told me he would sell any C class for invoice, so I am wondering if BMW would too?
I have a few requests in and wanted some expert advice. I live in WA and did not have a good experience at the Tacoma dealership in '97. -
kasperghost Posts: 72When considering price on the 325ix, consider the 2 companies, BMW is gaining market share and MB is losing it. The 3 is selling very well and you are looking at a model not even released yet. (Maybe somebody here can post sales #'s for June...?). They also have above average reliability and MB is suffering QC problems. BMW is also increasing prices; this is a small sign that they think their product is doing well. If you are close to a decision- you may want to pre-order. I don't know if you'll escape the price increase though.
When looking on these boards, the readers are spread all over the country and a single smokin' deal does not a trend make. Some of the trends I have noticed for purchases- not leases: East coast: best deals, middle of the country, OK deals, west coast- Meaning CA- very little haggling.
Where do you live in Washington- I grew up in the tri-cities. Are you close to the border? AWD seems pretty stout for Washington.
Hope this helps- -
kyfdx Posts: 31,877Mercedes may have some incentives that allow the dealer to sell at invoice and still make money.. The new 3-series has no such incentives... It looks like $1000-$1500 over invoice is about the best you can hope for on a new 3.
I would focus more on the actual selling prices of the two cars.. and decide which is the better deal for you, on a value basis..
Whether it is at invoice, or $2000 over invoice is sort of irrelevant... Once you have decided on a car, then getting that car as cheaply as possible then becomes very relevant..

spoondog Posts: 1has anyone bought a 2006 330i in the bayarea. i'm curious as what most of the people are paying. here's what im what i'm looking for
arctic blue/ blk leather int. sport and premium pkg, active steering, power sunshade, satellite radio and auto tranny. i'm planning to buy one this coming weekend. also, can anyone recommend a dealership. i've been to bmwsf and didnt had a good impression. -
saigonboi21 Posts: 150hello, i have some questions about the ED program. I looked it up and it says that ED price for an 06 325i is $28,180. Then the packages i want adds another $5,600. So the total is $33,780. So that's the rpice i pay plus taxes??? or is that the MSRP which means u can take more off? and also- i have to pay dealers $1000-1500 profit, so is that added onto the $33,780?? cus if that's the case, then it's pretty much the same thing as just buying it here. And if u add the cost of the trip to Europe, it will cost even more than what it will cost here. Please let me know bcus im buying a car this week. Thanks
jrct9454 Posts: 2,363Dealer costs for EU delivery are lower than for the US. Invoice [old pricing - there is a new price coming that will increase it by about $600] for the EU delivered 325 is $25,645. Add all your options, including the $695 destination charge, and you should save somewhere between $2000 and $2500 on the EU delivery. Yes, you can get some dealers to do better. You need the complete invoice list for both EU and US delivery to accurately calculate dealer cost in both cases. I'm not allowed to post the link here, but you can google on the topic of BMW invoice cost, and I'm sure you'll get what you want.
Assuming you are going overseas anyway, EU delivery is always a better deal - but you have to figure an extra 60-90 days of interest because you won't have a car to use here until you've dropped it off in Europe and had it shipped back to the local dealer, which can take another 6-8 weeks.
Generally, you can figure on saving about 7% over what you would pay for the same car in the US, all other things being equal....which they rarely are. -
windowshopper Posts: 2Just signed for it this afternoon:
2006 330i
+ Premium Package (Beige Leather)
+ Cold Weather Package
+ Metallic Paint (Monaco Blue)
+ 695.00 Delivery
Selling Price: $39,000
I'm pretty happy. The TMV was about $700 more, so I think that I did reasonably well. There is a match in production right now, and the dealer is going to see if they can get it allocated to them. Otherwise, I might have to wait a little longer for delivery.
The buying experience was very good. The salesman was fairly helpful, though maybe not an 'enthusiast'. But what was best of all was that the salesman was able to do the entire negotiation himself. None of the good-cop/bad-cop, "let me ask my manager" stuff. Granted, this is my first BMW, so maybe all the dealers are like that. Even so, I was happy with the whole deal. -
saigonboi21 Posts: 150I got this Bimmer invoice from BimmerFest. According to the sheet, Base Price Diplomatic US Port of Entry cost for a 330i is $31,380 + ZPP ($2200) + SMG Transmission ($1425)= $35005. So is this how much im paying (plus taxes of course)??? So it comes out around $38500? or is there an addition $1000-$1500 for dealer profit??
saigonboi21 Posts: 150
rhmass Posts: 263Interesting to see the price increase announcement on the base price only, not including options. One thing caught my eye is that the news stated that the price (base) includes destination and handling charge. However in Edmunds and Yahoo pricing, this item ($695) is always listed additionally ( so do the dealers). If we go by the invoice price list, we have already given the dealer a basic $695 profit to begin with at the beginning of the price negotiation. Am I correct with this assumption?
bmq Posts: 18I am trying to decide between a 2006 525i or a 2006 325i.
What is the money factor and residual on a 2006 325i lease with 15K miles per year? I am willing tp put down a security deposit to get a lower money factor.
Also what other fees etc are out there to complete a lease.
I usually drive about 18K per year. Should I structure a 18K lease to begin with or just factor in the 16 cents/mile penalty into my calculations?
I am in TX if state law etc makes any difference.
Thanks all for your help -
batman702 Posts: 12I just recently went to the local Las Vegas dealer and saw a nice new 2003 330I sitting on the lot, sport, leather, and not much else.....sunroof? The sticker on it was 38,845. Are they serious? it's 3 years old already. I could get a new 2006 for the same price, maybe even better. How can they justify this? Any ideas if this is just a front or is this price very negotiable? Anyone have dealer experience, and can tell me how they still have a new 2003? I thought this was a bit odd, to say the least. Thanks for the info, and insight.
officecubed Posts: 6I believe that the "diplomatic" price is yet another price point -- it's not the same as European Delivery, which is cheaper.
The price BMW sets for ED is 7% below the MSRP, although this percentage does not apply to any options -- therefore, you would have to negotiate anything off the options on your own. I don't think the dealer tacks on a profit to the ED price.
The question is if the 7% discount can be negotiated lower. If it can't, then I agree that the ED deal looks less appealing. The discounts people are posting on the site seem to be in the 5% range. If this is the case, ED doesn't seem like such a great deal. Please let us know what you do. JEFF

A grocery store here (Kroger's) has some and they look really nice. I have a sort of shady spot where I could put one, and am wondering how well they handle our southern winters, with light freezes then warm temps, etc. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have a very large one growing in a pot - grower said they are not hardy in my zone 8b/9a ground - root a cutting and plant it in the ground - the only way you'll know for sure. Let us know if it survives - I would love to plant mine in the yard - they do so much better. |
- Posted by organic_kitten 7 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 9, 13 at 18:12
I have one that I got from Logee's as a tiny 1 1/ inch tall sprout. It is a very large vine now. It is not hardy here, so I keep it in my greenhouse where it has spread around half of the wall. It usually just blooms once a year, but the blooms are so gorgeous. |
I decided not to get one, though they are pretty. |

About the Four O'Clocks or the "Marvel of Peru." This wonderful tropical wildflower has been gracing gardens for centuries. Your grandmother probably grew it, and knew the big secret of the older seeds. They are famous for rapid growth and producing glossy-leaved plants having flowers in several colors--on the same plant!
The names tell the story. The blooms open in the afternoon, thus the common name "Four O'Clock." And the botanical name, Mirabilis jalapa should tell you the plant comes from a Spanish-speaking area. "Mirabilis" means "wonderful" in Latin, and the Spanish-appearing "Jalapa" (the j is pronounced as an "h" in Spanish) is a town in Mexico.
Then there's that other common name: "Marvel of Peru." This exotic descriptive name tells you the plants grow wild in the Andes, and the "Marvel" part refers to the fact that they do produce flowers in several colors on the same plant. Seeds were sent to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 1500's.
In your garden, you have a choice of which color(s) you want to grow. Yes, the wild plants do have flowers in several colors, but they're rangy, somewhat weedy plants, too. The hybrids we plant today are organized by color and make neat, bushy growth, rarely over about 24."
The potato-like roots.The bulbous roots. Four O'clocks grow rapidly from seed, and another curious thing about this annual is that they quickly form a bulbous root, much like the common potato. In frost-free places (like Miami), they can be left in the ground year-round, and these big roots simply grow larger and larger over the years. Where there are freezes, the "bulbs" can be lifted in fall, and replanted in spring, giving you large, rapidly developing plants and lots of quick color.

I planted these seeds in various places on our property. They grew everywhere. The main planting was in front of a stone wall along the road in very average soil. I also used them to fill in in some perennial beds. They grew well in all types of soil. Up in NY State Zone 5, I sowed in May. Blooms began in late Aug and are blooming still (Oct 20).

I have grown four o'clocks in all of my gardens since I was a child and gathered seeds from my grandmother's house. I have never had a negative experience with these dependable and low-maintenance flowers...until now. The seeds germinated well but then did not grow. I planted these seeds in my new garden in April. They remain four inches tall and only one plant has bloomed. Those that I have pulled up to make room do seem to be establishing healthy bulbs so hopefully I will a few healthy, normal plants next year.

4 o'clocks
By Judith

I love 4 o'clocks - very magical. I bought 1/4 lb to share with my girl friends (one being a Florist) 4 of us planted them and not one of us got a single flower? Very disappointed.Probably will try another seed seller this year Even the complimentary wild flowers seeds did nothing. that's about all I can say.Judith
Excellent choice for hot climates
By Rich G
from Phoenix, AZ
I have never tried starting with seeds so I gave these a shot. They are excellent! Though you have to be patient as they take awhile to get going. They have handled the Arizona heat perfectly. (Last week it hit 111 degrees). I would recommend these to anyone !
Delightful Flower
By The Hiker
from Fairbury NE
I love this delightful flower and always order at least one lb. each year. It is a rigorous grower even in half-shade and produces beautful four color flowers each afternoon for months on end. Too bad it's an annual, but the seeds are very low cost so re-planting isn't expensive, hence I haven't bothered to lift the tubes each fall.
Great product Great price!

I love four o'clocks! But it's not easy to find four o'clock seeds in Californis without plunking down a couple of dollars for a small pkg of seeds. It was great to find a1/4 lb seeds for a low price. There were more than enough for my garden and I had plenty left over to share with friends! The plants are growing nicely and I'm looking forward to an abundance of colorful flowers!

"An astonishing collection of political poetry at its finest."—The Progressive, Favorite Books of 2004
Alabanza is a twenty-year collection charting the emergence of Martín Espada as the preeminent Latino lyric voice of his generation. "Alabanza" means "praise" in Spanish, and Espada praises the people Whitman called "them the others are down upon": the African slaves who brought their music to Puerto Rico; a prison inmate provoking brawls so he could write poetry in solitary confinement; a janitor and his solitary strike; Espada's own father, who was jailed in Mississippi for refusing to go to the back of the bus. The poet bears witness to death and rebirth at the ruins of a famine village in Ireland, a town plaza in México welcoming a march of Zapatista rebels, and the courtroom where he worked as a tenant lawyer. The title poem pays homage to the immigrant food-service workers who lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Center. From the earliest out-of-print work to the seventeen new poems included here, Espada celebrates the American political imagination and the resilience of human dignity. Alabanza is the epic vision of a writer who, in the words of Russell Banks, "is one of the handful of American poets who are forging a new American language, one that tells the unwritten history of the continent, speaks truth to power, and sings songs of selves we can no longer silence." An American Library Association Notable Book of 2003 and a 2003 New York Public Library Book to Remember.

After dessert we would lie about waiting for the temperature to creep down, reading Lampedusa, nodding off in a stupor induced by the rough local wine, or simply watching a pair of buntings build a nest in the eaves. In the late afternoon, when it seemed safe to go out, we ventured to the beach, a different one every day. Pantelleria has some of the most dramatic beaches in the Mediterranean, though most are not for the lazy or faint, and few are sandy, which is what saves the island from mass tourism. Nicà is reached via a zigzagging path, shaved through the maquis, more suited to goats than humans. At the bottom, a smooth platform of rocks juts into the limpid sea. The only thing that lured us out of the water was a tall pitcher of Negronis at home and the promise of tuna bresaola at La Nicchia for dinner.
The hushed courtyard restaurant is one of the places people have in mind when they describe Pantelleria as the Holy Grail of Mediterranean cooking, nearly uncorrupted by off-island ingredients. Tables are set around a central orange tree, menus are fastened to clipboards, and niches in the stone walls hold colorful pottery. The food is the most serious and rigorous on the island; think of La Nicchia as Pantelleria's Chez Panisse. We had made a rule never to go to the same restaurant twice, but broke it to work our way through Nicchia's remarkable menu, which features fat shrimp in a luscious sweet-wine sauce and spaghetti with an enticingly smoky caper pesto.
Capers with hard-won denominazione di origine controllata status rule the islands' kitchens. At La Conchiglia, a cliffside place that plays cheesy Italian wedding music, capers lend their winy, grapy quality—like a cross between an olive and a plum—to Pantelleria's gruff culinary emblem, a salad that also includes boiled potatoes, onions, tomatoes, olives, basil, and oregano. The shrimp in a dish of linguine with zucchini at La Vela, an enchantingly scruffy beach shack, tasted as if they still had seawater clinging to them. Our affair with tumma, a fresh cow's-milk cheese showered with fiery local olive oil, began at Ristorante Castiglione Franco, a down-and-out joint lit by the glare of the neighboring Agip gas station. At the next table was Cristina Muti, the conductor's wife.
Dining at the dammuso, we adopted the custom of dusting pasta with toasted bread crumbs, the poor man's Parmesan, and capping every meal with passito, a lush dessert wine with an orange nose, made on Pantelleria from dried zibibbo grapes. But when it came time we were not sorry to leave our dammuso. After nearly a week of subsistence-level niceties, we were ready for Monastero, a head-spinningly exotic resort owned by Ferri and marketed to collectors of one-of-a-kind fantasy hotel experiences. A lot has been written about the property, including that Madonna and Sting have stayed, yet everyone dances around what might be called its dirty secret: though you can see the Mediterranean, the water seems about as near as Tunisia. If you require crashing surf, Monastero is not for you.
Locked in the mountainous interior, on a dusty patch of magnificently raw countryside, the resort also feels too isolated for some. But as far as I was concerned, isolation was what I was paying for. One of the great pleasures of my stay was piercing the thick bubble of hype that surrounds Monastero: "To reserve a room you have to know the owner"; "You have to book the entire place." Ferri tries to whip up an aura of exclusivity with these conceits, but neither happens to be true. If you pay, you can stay.
The resort has three groups of dammusi, sleeping between 4 and 12 people. Technically, the minimum reservation is one group of houses for one party for one week, but in practice the property's policies can be quite supple, depending on the time of year and availability. Le Palme, a freestanding double, can be booked on its own. La Casa del Tè—two doubles in two interlocking dammusi with a thatched outside area for cooking, dining, and lounging—is ideal for two couples. Sometimes you have to wear down Ferri's people to get what you want, but the effort is worth it.
If you're not the kind of traveler who appreciates the thought that goes into stowing toilet paper in a Moroccan tea caddy, skip down a few lines. Monastero has no interior public spaces, no restaurant (though a cook is available), and no turndown; reception is in a garage, the one time I thought Ferri had gone too far. The decorating is reductive, designed for people who have it all and want to experiment with less. Maybe you get a night table and maybe you don't. Closets are chunky rails in hand-wrought iron draped with nubby textiles. Ferri's look is often summarized as "ethnic," but that doesn't do justice to its complexity and originality. My room was washed in purply browns and grayed-out pinks you won't find on a Donald Kaufman color card. And by borrowing elements from a handful of vernacular styles—African antique woven silk throws, Malaysian four-poster beds, vanity basins of Pantescan volcanic rock—Ferri has created another: his own. The wind keeps the landscaping in shape, razing plants to the ground.
With the hotel Santa Teresa just down the road, we had only to roll out of bed to visit it and decide if this was where we wanted to book for our next trip. It was. Modest but stylish, the Santa Teresa is the answer for anyone who wants to visit Pantelleria, is shy about renting a house, and doesn't want to sell the farm to stay at Monastero. Grapevines, olive trees, and caper plants march right up to a dammuso sensitively divided into three spacious, vaulted, fresh-scrubbed apartments. Each has a kitchen, a dining terrace, and unpretentious furnishings that ring true to place, from tole lanterns to rush-seated chairs. For more of a hotel feel, another building has three rooms overlooking a handsome pool ringed with palms, oleanders, bougainvillea, and rosemary. Breakfast is served amid the orange trees in a giardino arabo.
We had pulled off the road to peek into so many of these curious, nearly identical gardens that their fascination might easily have worn off, but that never happened. For Pantelleria makes a virtue of sameness. Every day is reassuringly like every other, with variations measured in the thickness of a palm frond. Will the pasta sauce have capers today, or shall we leave them out?A swim at Nicà or Elefante?Drinks at the Tikirriki or the Aurora?The hallucinogenic heat and bristling landscape, the sullen architecture and erotic lassitude—nothing ever changes, or subsides. Inhabiting the island is like inhabiting a hall of mirrors. The repetition is hypnotic, and enslaving.

Most of my victories in this game were acheived when I used the more defensive teams. I find that controlling the number of genestealers in play is generally more effective than trying to eliminate them as they are spawned.
Blocking genestealers attacks, chipping away at blip piles and paralyzing swarms may be less thrilling, but is probably more forgiving when something goes wrong than just trying to blast your way through and being overwhelmed when you get a 0 on a critical attack roll.
So, do you prefer to use the more defensive teams like black, green and blue (grey could also be considered defensive with their power field and stealth tactics abilities) or the more offensive teams like orange, yellow and red (purple is a well-rounded team, but could be considered offensive because of the flamer)?
Or do you prefer to mix things up and use well-rounded squads with both firepower and defensive skills?
On a side note, I recently had my first victory in the librarium vault, using black, blue and orange. Lorenzo is a beast!

life of (i.e., from) God, a native of Bethel, who built (i.e., fortified) Jericho some seven hundred years after its destruction by the Israelites. There fell on him for such an act the imprecation of ( Joshua 6:26 ). He laid the foundation in his first-born, and set up the gates in his youngest son ( 1 Kings 16:34 ), i.e., during the progress of the work all his children died.
God lives; the life of God
(God liveth ), a native of Bethel, who rebuilt Jericho in the reign of Ahab, ( 1 Kings 16:34 ) (B.C. after 915), and in whom was fulfilled the curse pronounced by Joshua, ( Joshua 6:26 ) five hundred years before.
hi'-el (chi'el; Achiel):
A Bethelite who according to 1 Kings 16:34 rebuilt Jericho, and in fulfillment of a curse pronounced by Joshua (Joshua 6:26) sacrificed his two sons. This seems to have been a custom prevalent among primitive peoples, the purpose being to ward off ill luck from the inhabitants, especially in a case where the destroyer had invoked a curse on him who presumed to rebuild. Numerous instances are brought to light in the excavations of Gezer (Macalister, Bible Side-Lights from the Mound of Gezer, chapter x). At first the very best was claimed as a gift to the deity, e.g. one's own sons; then some less valuable member of the community. When civilization prevented human sacrifice, animals were offered instead. The story of Abraham offering Isaac may be a trace of this old custom, the tenor of the story implying that at the time of the writing of the record, the custom was coming to be in disrepute. A similar instance is the offering of his eldest son by the king of Edom to appease the deity and win success in battle (2 Kings 3:27; compare Micah 6:7). Various conjectures have been made as to the identity of this king. Ewald regarded him as a man of wealth and enterprise (unternehmender reicher Mann); Cheyne following Niebuhr makes it Jehu in disguise, putting 1 Kings 16:34 after 2 Kings 10:33; Winckler explains as folklore.

It can be hard to stick to our daily calorie limits when we always crave something salty in the afternoon or something sweet after dinner. But there are some healthier ways to satisfy your cravings, without blowing your whole diet plan. Whether its sweetness, salt, or carbs that you long for, try some of these ideas to keep your cravings in check.
Here are
some healthy snacks to satisfy any craving
If youre craving something salty
Olives. Most of the fat in olives is the healthy kind (monounsaturated), so you can get the salty taste you crave without the guilt. 10 kalamata olives comes to about 90 calories.
Air-popped popcorn. Get a crunchy fibre hit with some natural air-popped (that is, not cooked in oil) popcorn. You can even sprinkle on a little bit of salt. One cup popped is only 26 calories!
Pickles. Pickles have lots of vitamins and fibre and are naturally low in fat. Half a cup has only around 9 calories- but dont go overboard, as they are quite high in sodium.
Roasted nuts. For a nice crunchy snack, have a handful of nuts. Theyre even better if you roast them yourself, so spread a few on a baking tray. 13 roasted almonds come to around 100 calories.
Pretzels. A healthier alternative to chips, pretzels give you a good savoury snack to satisfy your salt craving. 50 grams gets you to about 180 calories.
Tortilla chips. Make your own tortilla ships by tearing up some tortilla bread and baking in the oven for 10-15 minutes, then add a little salt. 50 grams is around 150 calories.
If youre craving something sweet
Frozen berries. Keep some frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or currents in the fridge and snack on them when you want a sweet treat. Half a cup of frozen raspberries has less than 50 calories.
Raisins. A sweet snack that will keep your energy levels up during the day. One serve of 50 raisins comes to about 150 calories.
Low-fat chocolate. Check the nutritional info carefully in the confectionary isle and youll find some chocolate bars (quite often, dark chocolate) with less than 100 calories. Save them for when you really need a chocolate hit.
Yogurt. Craving ice cream? Go for some low-fat yogurt instead. You can get lots of fruity flavours that will make you feel like youre having a sweet dessert, often in under 100 calories.
Smoothies. Make a smoothie with fresh or frozen fruit, adding low-fat milk or yogurt or even protein powder to give it a creamier taste- a good alternative to ice cream or milkshakes. Depending on what you put in it, it could be only 100 to 200 calories.
Chocolate milk. Find a low-calorie drinking chocolate and mix it up with some low-fat milk. That will keep you feeling full and satisfy your chocolate craving! You should be able to get a glass for around 100-150 calories.
If youre craving carbs
Rice cakes. Need a crunchy snack? Try some rice cakes- in most brands, one cake is around 35-50 calories, so youve even got room to spread on a little hummus or peanut butter.
Tofu. Grill up some cubes of tofu and drizzle with a little sweet chilli sauce for a filling snack. 100 grams of tofu has around 80 calories.
Peanut butter sandwich. Use wholegrain bread and a thin spread of low-fat peanut butter, then pop it in a sandwich toaster for a warm, comforting treat. Youll be eating around 150 calories.
Muesli bar. Snack on a natural museli bar for some wholegrains and fibre. You can find lots of brands for 100 to 150 calories per bar, or you can make your own.
Cereal. The trick here is to keep your portion sizes small, and to skip sugary cereals that pack in lots of calories. One cup of Special K has around 120 calories- a good, filling snack with lots of fibre.

EOS Bodies / Re: Stay with Canon?
« on: July 10, 2013, 09:25:15 AM »
Now that is a brilliant idea. Let's compare apples and apples. You can start by renting:
a Nikon D4 + 70-200 f2.8 zoom
a Canon 1D-X + 70-200 f2.8 zoom
Go and shoot some sports or an event or whatever else you like in dimly lit conditions so that you can really appreciate that Nikon sensor and AF system.
Let's make it really interesting... rent the following gear:
a Nikon D800E and AFS 14-24mm f2.8G zoom;
a Canon 5D Mark III and... oh, rats - Canon doesn't have anything to compete with this - why bother.

I have a very uncomfortable story and I really don't know how to handle this at all. Basically, I was out shopping the other day and when I came back I found my 13 year old son had wiped peanut butter all over his balls and anus then he let the dog go wild on him. Besides from the emberessment it was a complete mess. There was peanut butter all over the place. I was overcome by anger more than anything else. Sure I had just picked up another jar of PB, but I didn't know it was being used for that purpose.
I don't believe in physical punishment, but I know this is not normal behavior and I was thinking I should tell his freinds about it or make him wear a t shirt that says, "I let my dog eat peanut butter off my butt"? Does anyone else have a good suggestion for punishment?
Awkwardly enough this IS normal behavior. Not necessarily the dog part, but he's curious about masterbation. I don't think punishment is necessary but a talk about masterbation and sex is definately needed.
Very funny, TROLL!!! You should go see a shrink about forcing your dog to lick your balls. Try an adult relationship. I know your scared and can't get one, but try anyway.

Will Smith returned to theaters for the first time since 2008's Seven Pounds with this weekend's Men in Black 3, which put the A-list celeb back on top of the box office. Sony's $230 million (some reports suggest a much higher budget) alien-zapping sequel earned an estimated $70 million over the extended Memorial Day weekend.
Men in Black 3 will easily become Smith's thirteenth film to earn over $100 million at the box office — a truly impressive feat — but its opening weekend actually leaves much to be desired. Over the three-day portion of the weekend, MIB 3 grossed $55 million, which was higher than the debuts of Men in Black ($51.1 million) and Men in Black II ($52.1 million). (Due to higher ticket prices, 3-D surcharges, and IMAX fees, though, it sold far fewer tickets than its predecessors.) The original Men in Black earned $250.7 million in 1997. Men in Black II scored $190.4 million in 2002. Adjusting for ticket-price inflation, those totals soar to $432.6 million and $259.6 million, respectively. In today's frontloaded box office culture, Men in Black 3 won't likely reach those heights. READ FULL STORY

Hi! can i just say i just found/read this thread and its so informative and exciting
Me and dbf have planned to visit California for the first (and probs only!) time next year - all we knew is wanted to do Disney and see the sights. So this morning i came across ABD as I was researching the Disney Studios (and how its near impossible to get into) - that ABD offered a tour there! Since reading what this behind the magic trip offers - I have been so excited, and have decided that we are 100% going to do this. Can't WAIT to find out more how you enjoyed the trip - obviously your still there now, so have a WONDERFUL rest-of-trip! Izzie

With tears streaming down my cheek -
I regrefully inform all of you that I have encountered a Disney Grand Californian hotel /ABD issue (from yesterday afternoon on) that has sytematically destroyed any memories I have had of this adventure - resulting in me just wanting to get the heck out of here (I am still at DGC & dont leave until 3:30pm today) & GO HOME.
One would think that home would be DGA but I get the impression that their front desk has absoutely no clue as to how to service the Guest. Then - to add insult to injury. I asked one of our ABD guides for assistance on this issue & had also asked for a follow up voice mail yesterday - which would then allow me to enjoy my last full day in the Disney parks so I would then have everything all set & ready to go for today with no delays. GUESS WHAT? NO VOICE MAIL was left for me. I have spent way toooooo much time on this positive challenge as this has gone on now for the last 2 1/2 days and I feel enough is enough. This needs to go to Disney Corporate offices! I should be having fun at the parks and SPENDING MONEY AND HAVING FUN but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I am having to fiddle with this silly issue and having to coach Disney CMs HOW TO DO THEIR JOB! So in addition to my issue, here are some additional things have have also occured to me while this issue was occuring: 1) For example, and for a slight bit of negative humor here this am, 2 front desk CM's (Jason & Nicole) refered to me as "MR NEWMAN." They have acess to my guest information, yet they refer to me as "Mr Newman?" WHAT GIVES???? 2) a Disneyland shoppe on Main street told me that should what I have purchased happen to be a duplicate from what you have already purchased, just let the Disney hotel know about it and they will get your monies refunded. Sure enough, I had a duplicate. So off I went to DGC guest services this am to have a refund take place. Funny thing, Guest services at DGC said JUST THE OPPOSITE of what the Disneyland store had said just the other day!! AND YET TO THINK.....I AM A FIRST TIME VISITOR TO THIS PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yet my dream job is to go to work for the Disney corporation so they can see how servicing the Guest is actually done. Seriously, I would love to be a ABD guide for "Quest" or "Splendors" that would be what I would love to shoot for. But I digress - that's minor. A little irratant but minor. So I through my hands up in complete despair and & am leaving the House that Walt built with tears running down my face and am in one depressed state of being & mind. I JUST WANNA GO HOME! TO TEXAS! Like from 8am to right now in Dwntown Disney (12:48pm on 04-03-2010) I too also walked around both Disney parks yesterday in such a daze that it was obvious to me that after a while, I was realizing that the Magic was gone. For example, all I was seeing was NOT MARY POPPINS NOR THE DAPPER DANS but enstead I was seeing young boys and girls dressed up COSTUMES portraying the above mentioned characters! 1)I tried to go to San Adreas faults & get a milkshake. i could not, I just wasn't in a Disney mood. 2) I tried to go to Ritas and have a margarita I could not. the Disney spirit was just GONE. 3) I tried to go to the Wine tasting place as well inside DCA but just wasnt in the mood. I felt the magic was just gone. I was trying - I was putting forth effort - I just felt that the Disney magic was shot down the drain all thanks to three Disney CMs and no....I will not reveal their names. 4) Morevoer, I tried to get a pretzel and a sundae and the Coke soda shoppe at Disneyland but I just couldn't recapture the Disney magic. So it should be pretty obvious to you the reader that I was hungry but the magic was just shot outta me as I just felt like I was walking around in a daze. So, I thought possibly some shopping would pick up my spirits. NO. I couldn't bring myself to do any shopping either. So I staggered onto the Matterhorn. BIG WHOOP. I was there I realized that I need to go back to the hotel and just call it a day - a day that I hope NO ONE OF YOU E-V-E-R have to experience. THATS SAD & quite embarrassing WHEN A D-I-S-N-E-Y branded hotel systematically ruins the magic for you by the incredibly poor customer service and a ABD guide doesn't do her job either. This is why everyone, I have asked that ALL OF THIS BE FORWARDED on over to Disney's corporate offices. I am extremely upset and very dismayed that this is an acceptable level of customer service and that a ABD guide has no idea how to do her job either & provide a Guest adventurer a return voice mail. But she has gone on to her next adventure. So I guess I don't matter to her nor the Disney company anymore. So here I am, still stuck at the lousy hotel, wishing I could be jetted back to Dallas Texas ASAP so I can mentally/emotionally & logically get back to work & show to myself how servicing the Guest is SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. I know! going to work right away just after a vacation?? yes - that is correct. So - I am supposed to be departing from this "5-star hotel" around 2pm today & meet with some higher ups who will be discussing with me their lousy customer service and how they plan on saving this Guest. Now, Am i saying that DGC is a bad hotel? NO I AM NOT. I am saying that for this particular experience, it was a horrible one for me. AND I AM A F-I-R-S-T time visitor not only to the state of California but to Disneyland and such. I just feel that I am not in the mood to continue on with this blog. I feel that I need to delete all pics / video that & have taken (& I have taken alot) & throw away any memory of this "adventure" & just move forward. I feel very disheartned by this whole mess and just am not in a Disney mood. Which is very rare for me because I am such the kid at heart. But yes - I don't feel like moving forward with this blog. Will I ever come back to the state of California & Disneyland?? I will answer it this way - I am meeting with some Disney higher ups at 2:30pm today and will listen to what they have to say. I get the feeling that their response will be a BBUUSSIINNEESS answer and not an answer that will be condusive for me to feel welcomed back into Walt's World. Not because of my actions but because I get a feeling their responses will be NO to what I have to say. And I have already said it overnight when I was on the phone with the overnight hotel phone person for well over 2.5 hours VERY early this am. you would think that this company would be interested in saving me as a Guest since I average approx 3 hours a sleep a day while on this adventure (I was out and about SPENDING MONEY AND HAVING A NICE DISNEY TIME) but hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... I just get a suspicion otherwise. So to wrap up here, hopefully I will be given an opportunity for a "DO OVER" on this vacation. I am trying to remain positive on this issue. It is my hope that one day I can pick back up this blog and begin again recapturing the Disney magic that has just left my heart. Time will tell - Kris N-E-W-T-O-N P.s. Anyone reading this from Disney Travel services or DGC, I am also requesting that this be forwarded onto Disney's Corporate offices so they can see what this hotel (DGC) & that ABD guide has done to this 1st time DL/ DCA visitor as this is also ONLY MY 2ND visit to a Disney park overall as well. Furthermore, please make a copy of this and read this letter to all new hires as they need to see what damage can be inflcited onto a Disney guest when YOU THE CM, don't do your job.

Oh my gosh! Soo sorry to hear that you have had a less-than-magical time,
I truly hope you get issues sorted out and they can buck up their ideas - I've defo heard quite a few reports how service at disney california hotels does not match the standard at WDW and I hope this is something Disney will finally notice and fix (although Im just speaking from other TRs).

And u know -
But for some reason, the "LOVE AND SHOVE" mentality is alive and well here at Disneyland / DCA. To be continued.... Kris Newton

Hi Kris! I'm sorry you had a less than Magical Time.
I will be on this tour on April 13th and was wondering what happened at the GC. From your post I'm not sure what happened. I hope the Disney higher ups tried to fix the problem. I hope you have a safe trip home.

So much drama... But you never say what happened! I can't begin to fathom what they could have done to set off such a rant.??

It sounds like it is an issue with the Hotel and not with ABD. I went on this trip last year and it was fantastic.

OH NO- This makes me so sad. There is nothing worst then being soooo excited for an adventure and have several people ruin it for you. It does not seem fair. Please keep us updated on your progress with getting this reconciled.
Have a peaceful day.

Ridiculous Rant
OMG!! I've read and re-read this thread or should I say "ridiculous rant" and nowhere in the posting does this person state "what went so wrong"? What was soooo devastating that they would want "DO OVER". Or, is that they are just setting the stage for a "free trip"?? I am sure that any issue encountered at any of the Disney Parks would be resolved immediately and promptly.
TELL US WHAT WENT SOOO TERRIBLY WRONG THAT NO ONE IN THE ENTIRE DISNEY ORGANIZATION COULD NOT CORRECT. Or are you complaining that 1 or 2 employees pronounced your name incorrectly?? OMG, the end of the world is near!!! |

Rant continued...
Also, it's not fair that someone would come on this board and trash the trip that so many people are looking forward to and NOT provide details as to what went wrong. So, please let us know, so we can determine if it's the end of the world and cancel the trip.
1. Did anyone else in your group experience the same issues? Were their issues resolved and not yours? 2. How was the trip up until you experienced your issue? |

I have to agree with the above posts--need more specifics, if you can. We can't imagine the ABD guides not being all over any issue that came up--what did they have to say about what happened (and the corporate folks you met with?) The Grand Californian is our favorite Disney hotel--I'm biased being on the West Coast, but while we have enjoyed WDW properties, there is something really solid and relaxing about the GC. (Unfair probably to compare the huge WDW park to Disneyland--so different in size, in location--so urban here, so green and wet in Florida...the crowds are huge in Florida, but can spread out, unlike the crowds here...). In any event, I am sorry to hear you left unhappy--especially having such an upbeat start, and with prior very upbeat adventures...do conclude your story and let us know how things worked out!

At first it's bliss. (Think of the superficially similar blockbuster Ghost--only with real people instead of pretty faces Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.) But Nina gradually realizes it's a thoroughly real Jamie who's back, complete with every annoying, argumentative fault she'd conveniently forgotten. (He might be dead, he explains, but he still attends political meetings.) Moreover, he has to hide whenever any of the living are around. And he's constantly ice-cold. And he invites his dead pals to her place at all hours. What's a living woman to do?
Director Anthony Minghella went on to create the melodramatic period piece The English Patient--but in this film, he shows a far more sensitive, subtle touch. The photography is brilliant, capturing the simple beauties of suburban London. And the wonderfully acted characters, quirky and all too real, will keep you laughing--and always guessing what will happen next. --Grant Balfour

The website's editor-in-chief, Henry Blodget, made the announcement in a written post Tuesday.
"A Business Insider executive has made some comments on Twitter that do not reflect our values and have no place at our company. The executive has left the company, effective immediately," he stated.
When asked by CNNMoney whether Dickinson was fired or if he quit, Blodget simply referred to his statement.
Dickinson was the publication's top tech manager since 2010, having served in similar roles at retailer TheGoodChina.com and Zagat Survey.
Related: iPhone app promotes cleavage staring
Dickinson's long history of hateful speech was first noticed by Silicon Valley blog Valleywag on Monday. Here's a narrow selection of tweets and comments he left on Business Insider stories, edited to block expletives:
The Valleywag article led to several jeers on Twitter and accusations of class discrimination and misogyny. Dickinson responded by defending his views. He even challenged New York City startup founder Anil Dash to a physical fight at a chocolate bakery.
Dickinson's retort to all: "It is not misogyny to tell a sexist joke, or to fail to take a woman seriously, or to enjoy boobies."
Dickinson didn't respond to CNNMoney's request for comment. But on his Twitter account after the news broke, he showed little remorse.
"I gained 850 twitter followers and +7 @klout in less than 24 hours. Now offering social media consulting services," he said.
Dickinson's behavior and comments aren't unique in the male-dominated tech community. He is just another self-described "brogrammer" -- a term used to describe loud and boisterous male tech workers.
The brogrammer culture has infected the startup community and has led to rude incidents at work and tech conferences. Some feel this behavior further alienates the few female graduates in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) who wind up getting jobs in the tech sector.
Related: Startups have a sexism problem
At this past weekend's TechCrunch Disrupt conference, two new iPhone apps promoted masturbation and staring at women's breasts -- despite the presence in the audience of professional women and girls hoping to one day join the tech industry.
And at the PyCon conference earlier this year, three developers at different companies were fired when one, a woman, publicly shamed two men for making sexually charged jokes about tech lingo. All three were let go for their behavior, but industry insiders largely saw the firing of developer Adria Richards as retribution for the manner in which she spoke out against widespread sexism in the tech world.
Since the Valleywag story, Dickinson has feigned surprise at the public's reaction to his statements. But a comment he made on Twitter in mid-August indicates he was well aware of their vulgarity.
"I like the tech world because the bar for professional behavior is set so very, very low by our elites," he said.

Given the prevalence of onychomycosis and its varied clinical presentation, this author discusses the evolution of diagnostic testing and offers insights on the roles of various modalities in the treatment of severe onychomycosis.
Onychomycosis is a common infection that is increasing in incidence. Meissner (of Meissner's corpuscle fame) first described onychomycosis in 1895.1 The most frequent culture cause of onychomycosis is Trichophyton rubrum, which has evolved over time to become more pathogenic. The previous thinking was that T. rubrum was just a contaminant but since the Vietnam War, it has become the dominant causative organism.
In addition, Zaias and colleagues have reported that patients are genetically susceptible to dermatophyte infections in an autosomal dominant pattern.2 This helps to explain the rising incidence and recurrence rates of onychomycosis.
The clinical types of onychomycosis have been updated to better categorize the wide variety of clinical presentations. Hay and Baran categorized the clinical growth patterns of onychomycosis as distal lateral subungual onychomycosis, white superficial onychomycosis, proximal subungual onychomycosis, endonyx onychomycosis and Candidal onychomycosis.3 Patients may have a combination of these subtypes simultaneously.
Total dystrophic onychomycosis or severe onychomycosis refers to the most advanced form of any of the subtypes. This form of onychomycosis is a later stage of the chronic subungual dermatophyte infection that may take 10 to 15 years to develop. It is not only the most difficult stage to clear but is also the type with the highest risk of associated subungual ulceration, secondary bacterial infection and possible gangrene.
The incidence of onychomycosis is increasing in the United States, reportedly affecting 6 to 12 percent of the population.4 There has been a sevenfold increase in cases over the last 20 years.
Severe onychomycosis in patients with diabetes and patients with peripheral arterial disease increases the risk of secondary bacterial infection, nail bed ulceration and subsequent amputation.5,6 Onychomycosis and concurrent diabetes triple a patient's risk of toe ulceration, infection and gangrene.
As McCarthy points out, severe onychomycosis poses the greatest problem in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.7 Just as constrictive footwear can cause pressure necrosis of the skin in patients with improperly fitting shoes, thickened, mycotic nails can cause pressure necrosis of the nail bed in those with diabetes. Sharp, brittle, infected nails can also abrade or gouge skin on the adjacent toes, and may even pierce the skin.
In both cases, patients with diabetes often do not recognize these minor ulcerations because of decreased sensation. These ulcerations, if left untreated, have the potential to lead to secondary bacterial infection.7-10 The photo at the bottom on the right illustrates a foot with severe onychomycosis that developed a nail-induced ulceration.
How To Assess The Severity Of Onychomycosis
One generally determines clinical severity by the infection's duration, degree of involvement and thickness of the fungally infected nail plate. Additionally, host resistance, genetic susceptibility and the pathogenicity of the particular fungal strain help account for a particular patient's overall infection severity and helps predict the likelihood of cure.
We can better define the clinical severity of onychomycosis in terms of area of involvement, proximity to the nail root and thickness in a standardized scoring system called the Onychomycosis Severity Index.11 This parallels the Psoriasis Severity Index that clinicians have long used to compare patient responses to various therapeutic methods in a standardized way.

Strategic Partnerships
Our San Francisco Child Abuse Council coordinates the efforts of multiple organizations, committees and task forces that provide child abuse services across San Francisco. Our SafeStart program provides a coordinated system of care for families with children under age six who have been exposed to violence. We are leading a citywide effort to develop a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive, state-of-the-art Children's Advocacy Center of San Francisco (CAC-SF) that will help to transform abuse prevention, intervention, and urban health care programs for children.

The Bash Shell is the most common shell on Linux systems today. Because of that fact, this course is designed to lead you through the process of not only understanding the Bash Shell but working with the shell to create usable scripts on a Linux/UNIX operating system. This manual represents a self-contained course that is focused on the following features.
First, the Bash Shell Course is designed to be used from start to finish. In other words, topics that come up in later chapters assume you have read, understand and have performed labs on the earlier topics. The course builds as it progresses. With that in mind, it is important that you work through the course step-by-step.
The course approaches each topic with an explanation followed by an example which is then followed by an interactive lab. This process offers the best opportunity for truly learning how to write shell scripts. Labs are a major feature of the course as there are almost 100 labs in this manual. The course is not designed to be read as much as it is designed to be an interactive learning tool. If you want to learn how to create scripts, you must do the labs, there are no shortcuts.
The third feature of the course is that it's purpose is to teach you Linux commands and their usage in shell scripts. Often you will see the course take a detour and go into a "Build Your Knowledge" section which will provide you with enough information about a Linux command so that you will not only learn them progressively but also be able to use the new command efficiently in the upcoming lab. Pay attention to these "Build Your Knowledge" sections as they are building blocks for use in the course.
The course also features a commitment to creating scripts you can use in Linux administration. You will not sort fruit in this course nor work at mindless scripts that are only illustrations, the goal is to create scripts that you can implement and build upon in a working environment. At the same time, the majority of scripts are shorter in order to focus the learning process and to help with troubleshooting.
