This home is in one of the best locations in town and has amazing views of San Miguel de Allende! The property is a restored historic grand Colonial home two blocks from the Jardin.
The Penthouse: This a large (1800 SF) apartment, with two private terraces, is light-filled so you will feel like you live here in this colonial paradise.
Also: There is a one bedroom studio apartment with private entrance at the same address that sleeps two. Please email me for more information.
Alice, the owner, has traveled all over the world, which is reflected in the decor of the penthouse, which is a combination of folkloric Mexican design with ethnic details and flourishes.
The penthouse has an open living/kitchen area with a study nook to the side. However, we know that you will spend most of your time on the adjacent covered 500-SF 'outdoor living room' with 280-degree views and lots of comfortable furniture for lounging, entertaining (or having a siesta!). Plus, there is another huge terrace atop the penthouse for sunset cocktails or sunning, with 360-degree views.
The penthouse features a luxurious bedroom with a view of San Miguel's famous churches, with a very comfortable king bed and high-quality linens. Plus, there's a queen futon in the living room. The large bathroom has beautiful locally-made Talavera tiles.
There are many other amenities: a fully-equipped kitchen, Wifi, TV with basic cable, daily maid service, Southern hospitality and parking nearby. Alice, the owner, lives onsite and will do everything possible to make your stay in San Miguel de Allende a truly memorable experience.
The guest house is located in the heart of the historical area. It has some of the best views in town, with up-close views of two of the most important historical colonial churches in San Miguel. Spectacular views also include the surrounding mountains and romantic sunsets.
The home is across the street from the town's original plaza, Plaza Civica, and was a place for weary travelers to rest their animals and themselves for the night. It is like living in a piece of history.
Everything you need is right outside your door. Fresh-made tortillas, vegetable or fruit juices, and a grocery store are within half a block. It is an easy 2-1/2 block walk to Jardin, outdoor folk market, language schools, theaters, art galleries, bars and restaurants.
The penthouse very private. It has it's own entrance from the lovely garden, just off the main entrance to the Casa Grande. You can come and go as you please. And, as we said, you have two private decks for your exclusive use.
Everything, including coffee and juice upon arrival, daily light maid service and the 5% San Miguel lodging tax is included in your rental.

I am a retired American woman. If I could find a place to live that I like better than San Miguel I would move there. I have been an antique and textile dealer for years. I believe this town and my 300 year old property exhibit a strong sense of place, authenticity, sustainability ethnic and community involvement. The climate is as close to perfect that I have ever found. In the last few years, I have traveled SE Asia many times to design clothes and/or buy treasures for resale in this area. Many of these peices now grace Alice's Palaces. My four grown children always seem to enjoy visiting me here more than where I used to live in Texas!
Alice Kimsey purchased this apartment in 1998
Because this is my very special, beloved home... and I choose to share it with visitors. It has many personal touches that I enjoy sharing my my guests. Since I have traveled so widely, I enjoy welcoming other visitors to the home and city that I love so much.
My home is located in the vibrant center of this artistic, historic colonial town, with old-world charm and vast cultural offerings. I am located in the heart of the historical district back in the middle of the block where one does not normally hear street noises. The upper patios and terraces offer my guests direct views of the beautiful architectural wonders on central Mexico. This property was built 300 years ago as a Meson, which is where travelers would bed themselves and their horses down for the night. The brick and tile floors are original.
This little town has more cultural events than most large cities. There are art galleries galore, theaters, music, amazing restaurants, live music, indigenous cultural events, writer's conferences, art schools, photography schools, etc.

The highly coveted THDA recognition was one of five presented during the state organization's recent 2012 Governor's Housing Summit. The presentation came during the summit's closing Tennessee's Best Luncheon in Nashville, and was given in recognition of HFHOC's leadership, and its partnership with other organizations, in helping to rebuild the Cleveland and Bradley County community in the wake of the devastating tornado outbreak on April 27, 2011.
"Great work is being accomplished in Tennessee," according to Brian Bills, chairman of the THDA board. "[Through these nominations] of our work and that of others, we can learn from successes and repeat them across Tennessee. We don't want inspirational work to go unappreciated."
On hand to accept the prestigious THDA honor were Matt Carlson, executive director of the Habitat affiliate in Cleveland, and Annie Kinworthy, HFHOC community development coordinator.
In accepting the award on behalf of the entire team of Habitat affiliate staff, board and volunteers, and in comments to the Cleveland Daily Banner, Carlson acknowledged the organization's pride in accepting the THDA honor, but he pointed to the dedication to task of a variety of community partners and the resilience of Bradley County residents as the keys to Cleveland's recovery from the historic storms.
"In the days following those tornadoes, Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland worked in conjunction with many community partners to get our town back on its feet," Carlson said. "This was a spirit of collaboration that our community can be proud of and that other communities might look to follow as a model should they face a tragedy of this magnitude."
Bradley County's recovery is still ongoing as residents seek to attain what most now recognize as a "New Normal," but the progress made to this point is the result of organizations, churches, businesses, industries, emergency agencies, local government and nonprofits, among others, working together, Carlson told his THDA listeners.
"This is not a new position for Habitat," he offered. "Rather, the crisis that befell our Cleveland and Bradley County community simply showed how our organization can make a difference and how our impact on others can be felt greatest by working with others. That's what has helped our families get this far — the willingness of community partners to establish common ground and to reach for mutual goals."
He added, "Habitat for Humanity has always been known for its compassionate, collaborative and giving spirit. When those five tornadoes ripped through our community, destroying and damaging hundreds of homes and taking nine lives, it showed what people can do when they work together. We still have work to do, but we've come a long, long way."
Of the THDA award, Carlson described it as being a salute to the human spirit and a tribute to a community's drive.
THDA's Tennessee's Best awards "... honor outstanding individuals and organizations whose contributions on behalf of affordable housing — whether producing, designing, developing, financing or promoting housing policy — inspires others to serve Tennesseans' housing needs," according to Colleen Dudley, state director of Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee, as written in an article published in the state Habitat for Humanity newsletter.
She added, "Tennessee's Best [awards] celebrates housing partners that consistently make a positive impact and showcases the best practices of developers, authorities, community service organizations and others."
THDA recognized the Habitat for Humanity affiliate in Cleveland for a variety of actions in the aftermath of the tornado outbreak. Some of those steps included:
1. The Habitat Cleveland affiliate shut down its current projects of new construction in order to give full-time, around-the-clock support to the community. Staff, board members and volunteer teams cut trees, cleared brush, installed tarps on roof-damaged homes and "... helped the community rebuild hope that was lost."
2. At the time of new-construction stoppage, six homes were being built. "... The families responded by not only agreeing to delay their dream of completing and owning their own homes, they also stepped up and volunteered on the work crews to go out and help other families in need." A THDA news release quoted one Habitat Cleveland homeowner, "This community has blessed me by helping build my house and it's only right that I give back in this way and help others in their time of need."
3. In the midst of the crisis as emergency agencies began collecting, and distributing, needed supplies like food, clothing and shelter, Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland began a long-term strategy with other groups that eventually led to the chartering of the Bradley County Long-Term Recovery Organization. Carlson co-chaired the LTRO board of directors.
4. HFHOC served as one of three local organizations tasked with leading the rebuild projects that were processed through the LTRO.
According to a THDA statement that best defines why Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland earned the state award, "The staff, volunteers and all who support Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland saw a need in their community, identified their role in disaster recovery and collectively responded by stepping forward with leadership in working with all the organizations that could help. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regards the long-term recovery process that Bradley County completed as a best practice which is recommended to be modeled around the country."
The THDA narrative added, "The results are impacting hundreds of families needing shelter and the many more needing hope. Habitat for Humanity was forced to step up when crisis hit and was able to increase capacity to build more homes, started a successful repair program to help answer the need, and created new and lasting partnerships with a number of community organizations."
"We're humbled by this award, but even more we're thankful ... thankful for the new partnerships and working alliances that our Habitat for Humanity affiliate has been fortunate enough to develop with other organizations over the past 18 months since those tornadoes," Carlson said. "What happened to our community on April 27, 2011, left a lot of hurt, excessive heartbreak and unimaginable tragedy to many, many families. But out of the rubble of disaster came a light, and that light gave dozens of organizations and thousands of individuals a direction on how to come together in a time of crisis."
He added, "Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland is proud to have been a part of this recovery project. But it wasn't just us. It was many."
Alongside the Tennessee's Best Excellence in Partnership award, THDA also recognizes Outstanding Advocate, Remarkable Achievement Urban/Rural and The Best in Innovation.
Other Habitat News:
1. Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland is preparing for the opening of its second Habitat ReStore location on Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. Following ribbon-cutting ceremonies, the new location on North Keith Street adjacent to Don Ledford Automotive Center will be open for business. An invitation-only VIP Sneak Peek is being held at the new ReStore from 5:30 to 7 tonight.
2. The local Habitat affiliate will share a $1.4 million grant from THDA toward the construction of 65 new homes statewide through the "Building Tennessee" initiative. The THDA funding has been given to Habitat for Humanity of Tennessee, an organization supporting 50 community Habitat affiliates, including Cleveland. These affiliates serve 63 counties in Tennessee.
"We are extremely grateful for THDA's leadership in creating the Housing Trust Fund," HFHOT's [Colleen] Dudley said. "We are able to take these funds and match them with $5.3 million in donations from individuals, churches, foundations and businesses to complete these builds."
Upon its completion, the "Building Tennessee" initiative will have provided affordable, new, quality-built and energy-efficient homes for 228 children and adults. Habitat families purchase their homes through no-interest mortgages, and also provide "sweat equity" hours to help build them as well as to help construct homes for other Habitat families.
In 2011, Habitat generated $55.7 million in economic activity, the equivalent of 1,511 full-time jobs, according to a statewide economic impact study conducted by the University of Tennessee's Center for Business and Economic Research in Knoxville.
Tennessee is now ranked the fourth largest builder of Habitat for Humanity homes in the U.S.
Of the THDA grant, Carlson pointed to its significant support to Habitat affiliates across Tennessee.
"This grant is a wonderful, healthy resource for all affiliates in our state," he said. "It will build many homes. Over the next two years, our Cleveland affiliate will receive a portion of these THDA funds, as well as 49 other Habitat affiliates across Tennessee. Obviously, our affiliate is not getting the entire $1.4 million amount, but we'll certainly use our portion where it is intended — toward the construction of new, affordable and quality housing in the Cleveland and Bradley County community."
He added, "We consider ourselves very blessed to have earned the confidence, and the support, of agencies like THDA."

Solid-wood furniture is pricey and obviously involves harvesting trees, but the alternatives aren't necessarily much more appealing: Particle board, while transforming waste materials into something useful, is usually glued together with resin containing the carcinogen formaldehyde. A newer innovation, the "zBoard," hopes to supplant particle board and MDF in a wholly eco-friendly way.
Way Basics spent ten years developing the zBoards, which are 99% composed of post-consumer waste paper (the remaining 1% is a water-resistant veneer paper) and combine pressed and corrugated layers. Being paper, the whole board is recyclable, and while it's less than half as heavy as particle board, it's sturdy enough to use for bookcases and desks.
The company is marketing a line of kits derived from combinations of a basic open-cube form. Shipped in flat packs, the sets make a point of extreme simplicity: Instead of screws or nails, the boards are attached with extremely strong 3M tape strips and given structural support by a sturdy paper backing board. Each can be assembled in a few minutes with no tools.
Being a founding member of the Sustainable Furniture Council, Way Basics is interested not only in selling its own products but in extending the life of already-existing furniture. Five percent of profits go to Help1Up, a non-profit that runs "Furniture Banks" across the country that collect donated furniture and direct items to families in need.

Sliding pages in a div?
Hello all!
I've come across this site with sliding content contained inside a div http://www.hotel-oxford.ro/
It's fantastic, and have been searching for the original code used ever since but without any luck - the only scripts I manage to find are for image sliders and entire sliding pages as opposed to just content inside a div I've even tried to take the sliding page codes and change it, but still won't work so well.
Does anyone here know where I might be able to find such a script (original or at least similar)? I would have liked to use the one available on this site, but I still rather find the original code and work on it myself if I manage to at all, seeing Im the farthest thing from a web developer
Thanks for your time!

Hi, two questions actually. Wanted to plant some bambusa multiplex in an area 40' x 20" x 20". Is it possible to buy a large plastic pot, cut the bottom out and plant the bamboo in that instead of the rhizome barrier? Figured the taper of the pot would be perfect as well as the thickness of the plastic. And second question, if I intersperse with lord island palms, will the bamboo kill the palms? Thanks very much for any and all help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
First, B. multiplex is a clumping bamboo, so why are you worrying about some form of barrier? A pot won't affect the growth of the bamboo until it reaches a point some years in the future where it will have slowly expanded to the edges of the pot and then be root-bound and decline. Second, bamboo doesn't kill other plants, so there is no concern about planting palms nearby. |

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the Easton S1 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat: JBB13S1? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.
Ask A QuestionI have a 6 yr old 48 inch tall 50lbs boy. He is using a 25" 15 oz. 2 1/4" Easton bat. He has good swing mechanics but doesnt have good pop. Can the bigger barrel and lighter bat help increase his distance?
The Easton Speed Series and specifically the Easton S1 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB13S1) is a great option for helping a player generate bat speed. The S1 is a very light one-piece composite designed bat with a balanced swing weight. Unlike most composite bats, the S1 is going to be hot right out of the wrapper and is going to continue to get hotter the more you use it.
Do you have available the Easton S1 in 27, 28, or 29 inches?
The largest size that the Easton S1 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB13S1) is produced in is a 27". Unfortunately we have sold out of all sizes but the 25" 13 oz.
Hi. My son needs a 28" bat. He already has this same model in a 27" and a 29". Would you recommend staying with the S1 or going to a MAKO?
The Easton S1 Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB13S1) is going to be very similar to the 2015 Easton MAKO Junior Big Barrel Baseball Bat (JBB15MKB). Both bats feature a similar grade composite as well as a well-balanced swing weight. The largest difference between the two is that the Mako has a longer barrel, which will result in a larger sweet spot. If you have experienced good results with the S1, we would recommend staying with it.
Product Description
The Easton S1 Baseball Bat! Easton believes that every player should have the opportunity to hit for power, no matter what age or skill level. That's why they've brought back their groundbreaking Power Brigade line of bats for a second season. The concept behind the Power Brigade is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series and the Speed Series. This junior big barrel bat is part of the Speed Series and focuses on building power by increasing swing speed. This is accomplished by creating a bat with the lowest Moment of Inertia (M.O.I.) of any bat on the market. Basically this means that it takes less effort to swing the bat. The S1 also features a balanced feel and an ultra-light swing weight. This one-piece design is made from Easton's game-changing IMX Composite that optimizes the sweet spot for unrivaled POWER. If you want to swing faster and generate more power, it's time to join the POWER BRIGADE! Easton: Personalize Your Power! The S1 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shpping!

COIMBATORE: The candidates in the fray for the coming local body elections could have some good news in store. The state election commission might relax the expenditure limit for the contesting candidates.
State Election Commissioner Ayyar indicated this while speaking to media after attending a review meeting with the district collector M Karunagaran and other senior officials from the city police department and corporation on Saturday.
He also added that about 90% of the poll-related arrangements were already complete in both urban and rural segments and the elections will be held in a smooth manner in October.
"Our duty is to conduct the elections in a free-and-fair manner. All necessary arrangements are being taken in this regard across the state," said S Ayyar.
District collector M Karunagaran, corporation commissioner TK Ponnusamy, police commissioner Amaresh Pujari and Coimbatore SP ES Uma attended the review meeting. M Karunagaran told TOI that the state election commission was satisfied with the poll-related arrangements in Coimbatore.
"We have already prepared the tentative list of polling stations both in the urban and rural segments. We have also prepared the list of officials to be deputed at the polling stations across the district," said Karunagaran.
The district collector also added that all officials to be deployed as returning officers and assistant returning officers who were posted in the same locality for more than three years or originally hailing from their respective polling stations have already been transferred and reshuffled to maintain free and fair conduct of the polls.
"Tentative list of polling stations and total number of voters have already been handed over to the political party leaders," the collector added.
The usage of electronic voting machines and paper ballots also featured during the discussion. The election commissioner and the district administration dismissed reports that the poll proceedings were being completed in a hurried manner giving scope for inaccuracies. As per the tentative list there are about 22,87,240 voters in the district including 11,34,714 female and 11,52,520 male voters. Six transgender voters are also included in this list. The list was compiled from the voters list used for the state election commission.

A red oak was planted in my front yard a couple of years ago. From the pic in the link below, you can see much of the top branches do not have leaves, while the trunk has a lot of leaf growth, I assume the tree did this to compensate for the dead growth.
What should I do to this tree so it doesn't end up looking funny? Trim off the dead branches and remove the leaves on the trunk? http://web.mac.com/reddart67/Sigs_etc/Sig_2_files/IMG_1855.jpg |

reddart: Your oak is young. Some of my young oaks, maples and gum trees look similar. On this forum, someone asked if they should prune young trees to make them look better. The consensus seemed to be that you can prune dead branches at any time. You can prune crossing branches. Don't prune the leaves on the trunk yet - leaves provide your tree with food which it needs to grow stronger (I'm making this simpler than the expert's advice). Here is a link to a thread about pruning transplanted trees that will teach you more than I can. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Should You Prune Branches & Leaves on Transplanted Trees?
I agree, in case you were overwhelmed by the other thread, only prune out the dead wood. The young tree needs all the leaves it can get right now to produce enough energy to grow a good root system and then it will produce some strong shoots of new growth up top. Actually, some of those leaves along the upper part of the trunk will probably shoot up and form a new leader and some lower down will probably shoot out and form new branches. So, removing them would not just hurt the tree, but you'd be removing the future branches and new leader. Also, your assumption was correct, the new growth along the trunk and lower down is in response to transplant shock from dead and cut roots, which lead to dead top growth. I bet in a couple of years you won't be able to tell there ever was a problem with the tree without close scrutiny. |

I'd give it a couple years since the growth it does have appears rather healthy and robust. I think it's latent transplant shock. I'd ONLY remove dead growth this year, doing a cut about a quarter to half-inch above the first live growth, and let it go a couple seasons before attempting "shaping" but being an oak, if it does pull through, it will look "normal" in a few years. |

Biography for
Further Tale of Peter Rabbit
Penguin Putnam
Emma Thompson is an Oscar-winning screenwriter and actress who lives in London and Argyll. Her father was Eric Thompson, the man behind
The Magic Roundabout
, and she remembers him reading Beatrix Potter's tales to her and her sister in his best Dougal voice. "We would always want
The Tale of Mr. Tod
, which is lengthy and satisfyingly spooky. He would always read
The Tale of a Fierce Bad Rabbit
, which has about three words on each page. But--thanks to Potter's genius--we were never, ever disappointed."
Eleanor Taylor grew up in Scotland and England, and has a great affinity for the countryside of both places, which is beautifully reflected in the engaging characters and beautiful scenes illustrated in this book.

Oh What pretty children you have…
I'd be offended if I were the kids! LOL

They look like possessed demon children in the tattoos!!
The kids look like burn victims.
why is it every time someone gets a tattoo of a person they always look like a halloween version?

text: It was hilarious in Super Troopers, but in Florida, a high-speed prank resulted in serious consequences for two members of the police department. In March, Clermont Officer Christina Fowler was patrolling a section of Highway 27, when she saw a sports car speed through a construction zone. The driver didn't comply when she signaled for him to pull over, so Fowler pursued the vehicle until it came to a stop in a shopping plaza parking lot. As the driver was getting out of the car, Fowler drew her gun, but the tense situation was interrupted with laughter when it became apparent that the person she'd been chasing was Officer Marc Thompson, one of Clermont's finest. Also in the car were supervising Sergeant Mark Edwards and Officer Dennis Hall. The three, who were all off duty, were on their way back from a night of poker at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa. Fowler did not write Thompson a ticket, but said she believed he was driving at an unsafe speed. Thompson and Edwards were fired last week; Hall, who was in the back seat, was given one day of unpaid suspension. The incident was captured on Fowler's dash cam.

2013 and Earlier - Ford Escape Prices Paid and Buying Experience
rgw Posts: 6I ordered my 2009 Mariner Premier V6 FWD last Oct. 7th. As of today, Jan. 9th , the vehicle has not arrived at the dealership nor can they tell me when it will arrive. Needless to say I took back m deposit and am now looking elsewhere for a new vehicle.
Talk about blowing a sure deal, way to go Ford! -
explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 10,003does the dealer have carfax to view?
if not, spend a few bucks to get it.
it's not 100%, but better than nothing.
that 'old person owned it' is an old story.
when i bought my mustang in 1991, 2 different dealers tried to sell me low mileage used that were owned by an old guy that passed away and the widow didn't want to keep it. i started feeling that model was cursed. :P
ct isn't all that far from nj, so i guess that pitch is going around the bars.
escape-central.C O M is good additional site to look for info. -
parrotheadpete Posts: 1Same thing happened to us.
We ordered our 2009 Mariner Premier V6 FWD on Columbus Day weekend and was told at the time that it would hit the dealer showroom around late November.
Well that time came and went and was told again it was slated to arrive the second week of December. Once again there was a delay until we finally received it on Dec 31st.
Though there was some frustration from us and the dealer for the long wait the vehicle is absolutely beautiful.
The only reason that I can think of for the delay is that it's due to the extended plant shutdowns around the holiday's where the Mariner is made. -
rgw Posts: 6Based on the VIN # I was given my vehicle was finally built on Dec. 5th, 2 months after the order was placed. Now 3 months have gone by since I ordered it and no vehicle.
My trade-in, a 2005 Mariner, is now worth less so the great deal I received in October is gone. Returning my deposit nullified the deal, but it's Fords' loss not mine. I'm sure that in this economy I can find a great deal out there somewhere else!
I wonder what Ford will come up with for incentives after today? -
niteflite888 Posts: 30Can someone offer me some advice. I am considering buying an 06 escape xlt awd with approx 35,000 miles. I have never owned a ford before... only honda, toyota, and vw. i am looking into this car only because of the price... for an 06 crv or rav4 with similar miles and options i'd have to pay at least 3,000 to 4,000 more. and that's based on list price... i haven't negotiated on the price yet.
my concerns would be the reliability of the car.. i don't want to end up having to take the car in for repairs on a regular basis. generally speaking, how is the reliability? should i shell out the extra 3-4,000 for an import? -
indydan1 Posts: 2I just traded in my '06 XLT 4X4 for a new '09. It had almost 35K miles, and other than taking it in for schedules maintenance (oil changes, tires rotation, etc), it never gave me a moment's worth of trouble....a very reliable vehicle! I would make sure that the vehicle has had its' 30,000 mile service, as this is a fairly major one. Pricewise, I noticed the dealer now has my 06 on the lot and are asking $14,995 for it. I got about 11,000 for it on trade-in (lousy resale value), so my guess is that somewhere around 13K would be a fair price range, but I would check the Edmunds TMV price as a guide.
indydan1 Posts: 2Borderdog...
It is at Andy Mohr Ford in Plainfield, Indiana...slightly west of Indianapolis. They do have a website and I am not sure if I can post it here, but you can easily google it. The car is shown online along with several photos. It is a silver XLT Sport 4X4. I was out that way the other day to look at it just to kill some time, and they had it on the lot and did a great job getting it cleaned up. It has several options, including the 6-disk audiophile system, running boards, and the towing package. It ran great and was used mostly for driving back and forth to work on the highway. Not sure where you're at, but it's worth taking a look at. Good luck! -

ja812 Posts: 33I am in the process right now. I'll let u know what happens.when I'm done.I qualify for X-Plan but I'm trying to get it lower by using the Edmunds site to find dealers and counter w/different prices.
One dealer found an Escape out of state so I did some research and called the dealer out of state and got a lower price for the same veh that the dealer gave me the price on(they would deliver the veh @ no charge to me). I called another local dealer back and told them I could get this veh @ a lower price and they said they would beat that price.
So that is where I'm at right now. I'll see what develops this week and let u know if I do anything.
Good Luck

dmbflorida Posts: 38We like the hybrid Tribute Grand Touring because it has all the options on it you could want including navigation and roof venting . The Mazda hybrid Tribute is much nicer than the Escape hybrid or the hybrid Mariner in terms of interior appointments. We bought in Feb, 2008 in California when a limited inventory of this new SUV was sold only in California. We put it on a car carrier (DAS auto transport) and had it transported to Florida where we registered and licensed it. I don't know if this car was sold on such a limited inventory in 2009 (350 or fewer in 2006) in CA or other states and would like to hear about this. I can't speak accurately about fuel economy because I never drive it and it is usually in another city where my grand-daughter "owns" it. I paid $29,000 approx without CA tax with 0% interest on a three year Mazda loan. The only thing I don't really like are the small wheels/tires.

starlifter248 Posts: 1Just bought an 09 Tribute i Touring (30 Apr 09). The "out the door" price was $19,917.40. I have 7% sales tax plus $21 for title and Georgia lemon law which made the before tax and after rebate price $18,398.50
The vechicle MSRP is $22,935 & Invoice $21,473
I feel I got an OK deal however, I sure there were better ones out there. My wifes car was wrecked two weeks prior and it appears we will be dealing with the insurance company ( on-going dissagreement) for sometime so I "pulled the trigger" on the purchase, The good news is we got the color and model we wanted and currently are pleased with the vechicle. -

epec Posts: 16I have A-plan since my brother works for ford. Dealer give me MSRP-Aplan_incentive. I am not sure whether I can ask Invoice-Aplan-incentive , but dealer told me MSRP-Aplan is the price he get the car from ford. Actually MSRP-Aplan is 400 less than invoice, but I do not believe dealer get the car from Ford with 400$ less than invoice. I first 2005 ford escape (bought as new) was purchased with Invoice-500$-Incentive. Can anyone tell me whether the dealer is lying? Thanks

ngzcaz1 Posts: 1When did they come out with the 6 speed auto trans ? I'm thinking of purchasing one and the only thing negative are the seat odor ( from materials ) and firmness of the padding. Mechanically I cant find too many negatives from people that own them in my area.. Maybe yours is not the norm ?
jsadka1 Posts: 9Don't have a clue if I got a good deal. Traded in an 06 Fusion with 36,000 miles on 09 Mariner 4WD with lots of extras. Sticker price 30,885. Traded for 17,500. Mariner has side boards, heated package, moon/tune elite pkg, rear cargo pkg, trailer towing (don't need), dual auto temp, the bluetooth thing, and reverse sensing system. I took the 2500 rebate over the free financing because the interest on the amount I had to borrow will be less than the 2500. I do wish I had kept my fusion just because it was paid for and had an extended warranty. I think I would have been better off in the long run but maybe this year I won't get stuck in the snow!

matthattan1587 Posts: 53Hey guys I just purchased a new Ford Escape XLT I4 2.5. I had a real hard time locating the car I wanted to buy (Black Exterior w/ Black Leather, Sync and Sun Package, I4. 2.5 4WD, cargo pkg) My dealer was able to locate a Black XLT with cloth seats and is installing black leather seats this week.
I was a little hesitant at first, but I think everything is going to work out alright. I think I got a great deal on the car. Total after taxes came to $23500 with the sticker being 27,240.
I will be picking up the car on Wednesday with the installed leather seats. -
kyreba Posts: 7I've never ordered a car direct from the factory before. But I'm thinking of ordering one of the new 2010's. A local dealer told me they can start to order in July.
Anyone know how long it takes from when the order is placed until the car comes in?
Also in negoiating price, is an offer of $200 over invoice too little? too much?
I'm hoping there is someone out here with past experiences that can help. Thanks! -
matthattan1587 Posts: 53I was considering ordering a 2010, but they found me the 09 I wanted. They start production of the 2010 on August 2nd and it takes a minimum of 90 days to get your car, so you will be waiting a long time.
If you want your Escape relatively soon try and find an 09 model. Right now the incentives are crazy on this vehicle and they may not be as generous on the new 2010 models. I got $5,500 off the msrp of my vehicle, almost a grand UNDER invoice.
I heard the new xlt I4 2.5 model with leather, sync and sun which is what I wanted, will start around 28,500 for the 2010 model year, a little more expensive than the 09 model year. -
pondview Posts: 22I've noticed a $500 regional V6 discount on the Escapes which is subtracted from MSRP on the window sticker. Is this also to be subtracted from invoice price here at Edmunds to get the true dealer cost?
Also, do dealers have advertising costs that they add on to the invoice price?....I'm just trying to find out the real dealer cost on the escape I'm planning on buying.

By Jennifer Welsing in General on Feb 09, 2013
Traditionally a conservative and Catholic country, Poland is making small but noticeable steps in becoming more open-minded. At the forefront of this transition is Anna Grodzka, the first transgender lawmaker to be elected into the Polish parliament. She is now up for deputy speaker, a role that will give her a stronger voice in proposing laws and an elevated position in the Polish embassy.
After her surgery in 2010, Grodzka was elected into parliament in 2011. Along with her election came the rise of the progressive party - Palikot's Movement - which supports gay rights and hopes to decrease the influence of the Catholic church in politics. Robert Biedron, Poland's first openly gay lawmaker, was also part of this new progressive shift. This move to a more liberal point of view is apparent but slow going. There has been more support of in vitro fertilization and additional gay rights, showing a pull away from the church, but it hasn't been all smooth sailing. Recently legislation was rejected for civil partners, gay or straight.
But the change is on! Small steps are better than no steps. When the elections are done this Friday we will see if Poland makes another step forward by electing Anna Grodzka as deputy speaker.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ivan M!
Facts about Ivan M
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Ivan M's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Ivan is a orange tabby neutered male born March 2012. Ivan and his sibblings along their mom was abandoned in a carrier on a hot summers day without any water! Ivan is a very sweet cat. Is being fostered in a home with other cats and dogs.
Other Pets at River City Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ivan M, a Sacramento Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Sacramento, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Sacramento.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Sacramento already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Sacramento breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Sacramento paves the way for another one to be saved.

Here I am again with another color question! I've stripped and finished a bunch of 1979 oak cabinets. I gray washed then antiqued them, and I absolutely love them. Now I'm working on some really gorgeous cherry cabinets that will go into the same space. I realize there is a significant grain difference. I've got the old finish stripped off and absolutely love the natural cherry -- except for the reddish, which comes out if I stain. So clear coating it is. :) But some remain too red. I'd love to "brown" them to be closer to the tone of my lovely oak. (Can't believe I'm saying that after despising the builder grade abomination done to oak!) Color theory dictates I could add a tiny, tiny bit of green tint to the clear coat, which should translate into a brown. Am I off base here, or is there a better idea? I know most of you know the following and are probably tired of this, (So feel free to stop reading now!) but there's always someone .... Before anyone has the (less than) brilliant quip of "buy matching cabinets," I'm rebuilding from a house fire alone, on a waitress income, and have picked these solid, beautiful cabinets up at reuse centers. Along with most of my building materials, actually. I don't have the luxury of "just" buying matching cabinets. I'm not concerned about matchy-matchy (thank goodness!) but would like the tones to be in keeping. So if that would be all you have to offer, please don't bother. If I could, I still probably wouldn't. Thanks for your help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Actually, cherry browns naturally. Look at the info linked. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Finishing cherry
Thank you, Handymac. I'm aware cherry darkens, which is not what I'm necessarily looking for. The very first paragraph mentions my concern: I would like to tone down the red. |

Your color theory is correct -- add green to tone down the red and shift toward brown. The "green" that finishers use most often is Raw Umber. However, unless you go to an old-timey paint store, get a can of stain base and have them add some squirts of raw umber UTC (universal tinting colors -- the stuff on the carousel where they mix the paint color), it's not going to say "raw umber" on the label. It might be "light maple," "Van Dyke Walnut," "heritage pecan" or anything else the manufacturer wants to call a pure raw umber stain. While true greens will work, it's harder to hit. I've used green colored pencils and I have a "green blocker" aerosol that's bright green. It works better for me to reach for the raw umber. After many failed attempts of trying to get a raw umber from red, blue, yellow, black and white UTCs, I finally just bought a $7 bottle of raw umber UTC. This will last me many lifetimes. You can have some if you want to swing by,. |

The color of stain called _fruitwood_ is in some cases a greenish light brown. I used fruitwood stain from Bartleys (sadly, now defunct) for my white oak cabinets to preserve the white-oak-ness of them and not have them go too golden. Casey |
Bob's My Uncle, I have a watercolor, tiny tube of raw umber. I have also just read the benefits and joys of the UTC. I'll investigate. :) If you're in the DC/MD/VA area, I'll road trip. I'll bring my own jar. Hey. Since all I have is HD and Lowe's, if they don't have something that makes sense, an art supply store's tube of Raw Umber oil paint work, wouldn't it? Casey, I will also look for the fruitwood, perhaps by someone else. Two of the doors I've been stripping (God Bless Citristrip -- can I get a Hell Yeah!) have turned out to be oak. How do you tell if it's red or white, as a matter of fact? It's all pretty light once the stain is sucked out . Give it a light sand and it's really, beautifully light. I appreciate the info guys. I am excited about my "finds" turning out so well. |
- Posted by bobsmyuncle (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 20:30
One manufacturer's fruitwood may not resemble another's at all. Sorry, I'm about 8 hours west of DC. |
This post was edited by bobsmyuncle on Wed, Sep 11, 13 at 22:38
I thought give you a quick update on these cherry cabinets. First, after the initial stripping to get rid of the clear coat, I used another coat of Citristrip overnight to suck more of the stain out of the wood. Progress. Second, I just plain bleached them. Clorox. Coated them with bleach and let them dry. Repeat. 16 times. The wood is now a delightful grayish red, without being pink, believe it or not . When I buff the wood (320 grit) it comes out to be the most gorgeous, rich shade. I'm absolutely thrilled. On an extra broken door, I decided to play with color. Treating this door the same way (apples to apples) I finally took some paint thinner and put a tiny, fork-tine dip of raw umber in it. I couldn't really even see the color. However, when I put it on the cherry, it toned it to a beautiful, more brownish color. I'm going to experiment with a drop of Jacobean stain in paint thinner. It's all stripe-y right now from my experiments, but I'm finally visualizing what I can get. I have 4 apothecary or spice drawer cabinets. I'm creating a credenza-like arrangement and will be staining these to look good with my cherry. It's different to get it dark with wood that wants to be whitish yellow. I'll keep you posted. :) My dilemma is now that I love my antiqued oak AND my cherry! Good thing my taste is labeled "eclectic." |

Question in honor of the last days of the Lunar Festival: Given that the holiday is centered around Moonglade and the druids, it makes sense that the majority of the Elders are either Tauren or Night Elves, the pre-Cata druid races. But then the other race of Elder seems to be Earthen. Does this mean that there are Earthen druids?

Consumer confidence drops in February
Posted onThe Consumer Confidence Index fell moderately this month after increasing in January and it now stands at 78.1, The Conference Board reported today.
"Consumer confidence declined moderately in February, on concern over the short-term outlook for business conditions, jobs and earnings," Conference Board director of economic indicators Lynn Franco said in a statement.
"While expectations have fluctuated over recent months, current conditions have continued to trend upward and the Present Situation Index is now at its highest level in almost six years. This suggests that consumers believe the economy has improved, but they do not foresee it gaining considerable momentum in the months ahead."
The index stood at 79.4 in January.
The Conference Board said consumers' appraisal of current conditions improved for the fourth consecutive month. Those who said business conditions are "good" increased to 21.5 percent from 20.8 percent, and those who said conditions are "bad" declined to 22.6 percent from 23.4 percent.
Consumers' assessment of the labor market also improved. Those who said jobs are "plentiful" increased to 13.9 percent from 12.5 percent, and those who said jobs are "hard to get" decreased slightly, to 32.5 percent, from 32.7 percent.
Consumers' expectations, which had been improving during the past two months, retreated in February. The percentage of consumers expecting business conditions to improve during the next six months decreased to 16.3 percent from 17 percent, and those who anticipate that conditions will worsen increased to 13.3 percent from 12.2 percent.
Consumers' outlook for the labor market was also more pessimistic. Those who expected more jobs in the months ahead declined to 13.3 percent from 15.1 percent, and those who anticipated fewer jobs increased to 20.6 percent from 19 percent.
The proportion of consumers expecting their income to increase declined from 16.6 percent to 15.4 percent, but those who anticipate a decrease in their income also declined, from 13.9 percent to 13.1 percent.

He said the Peoples Bank, National Insurance Trust Fund, National Construction Association of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka Cricket, Sri Lanka Insurance Corporation, Central Environment Authority and the Health Education Bureau owed a total of Rs.7.9 million to the SLRC as at November 5 this year.
It has also been disclosed that the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) owed Rs.9.1 million to SLRC. (Yohan Perera)

North Ridgeville Branch Library History
Lorain Public Library first began providing service to North Ridgeville with a Bookmobile in 1939.
From a storefront in the Tran Building on Avon Belden Road, to the Old Town Hall on Center Ridge Road, to a 5,000 square foot former bank building at 6401 Jaycox Road, the North Ridgeville Branch Library has moved, grown and continued to evolve.
Thanks to the community's support of an operating levy in November 1999, the Library and Local Government Support Fund (LLGSF), and the donation of land by the City of North Ridgeville, a 27,500 square foot library building was constructed at the current 35700 Bainbridge Road site.
The Grand opening of the new building on Bainbridge Road was May 4, 2003.

For some people, the most vivid impressions of Capri concern the color of the Grotta Azzurra or the breathtaking view from the front seats of the famous funicular. Not me. I'm haunted by a 70-carat aquamarine I encountered at Alberto e Lina, the island's preeminent jeweler. I visited the shop my first afternoon in town and received what I'm convinced is the exact same welcome given to celebrities and dignitaries who have walked in over the last five decades.
"Sit down! Sit down! We take care of you!" Lina Federico instructs me, motioning to a sumptuous side chair. "Look out the window! You see, everybody stops to see our things." Indeed, two voluptuous, overripe ladies with hennaed heads and skintight dresses are staring at a cuff bracelet woven of diamond-studded gold and finished off with my new best friend, the 70-carat aquamarine. "Here in Capri, people come for something different," Lina tells me, pulling out a scrapbook with clippings of everyone from "your president" (he was here on a cruise in 2000 with Laura and Barbara) to Naomi Campbell ("she bought beautiful pearl earrings"). Her pièce de résistance is a picture of Mrs. Onassis wearing white trousers, a black T-shirt, and a low-slung bejeweled belt. "She bought that beautiful belt from us," Lina says, her mind wandering for a moment to a distant Capri. "We are fifty-two years here. There used to be a restaurant across the street, where Ferragamo is now. Couples would come out of the restaurant late at night and look in our windows. Next morning, first thing, they would come and buy."
The experience of shopping in Capri—the trafficless streets lined with designer shops against a backdrop of staggering natural beauty; the juxtaposition of Gucci valises and bougainvillea, Hermès scarves and the Bay of Naples—can feel to the visitor a little like eating too much cake. With every luxury, natural and retail, at hand, it's easy and surprisingly delightful to feel, at least briefly, like a bird in a gilded cage.
Given such an embarrassment of riches, I decide it's best to continue from the top. After my encounter with Lina, I saunter down Via Vittorio Emanuele, which runs from one Capri landmark—Piazza Umberto I (which everyone calls the Piazzetta), the island's main square—to another, the glamorous Quisisana hotel. Though the international shopping class that frequents Capri speaks many languages, it's a sure bet the snippets of conversation I overhear in English ("The Tod's were only $135! I bought two pairs!" or "How much did you love the Costume National slacks on me?") are pretty much what's being said by everyone else in their respective tongues.

The Red Sox might be the best team in baseball and they need a $1 "beard night" to get people into the park?
Makes you wonder.
But however great a story they are, the buzz doesn't compare to how it was in 2004, when they hadn't won a World Series in 86 years. Maybe that's inevitable.
Yes, this is an unbelievable season that's come out of nowhere, and, yes, the buzz will increase once the playoffs start.
But a $1 "beard night?"
There's a guy in a a nearby jail that would make Patriots' passing game a lot better.
Yeah, I know "Johnny Football" is a polarizing figure in college football, but he's a flat-out treat to watch
The NFL resembles college football with each passing week, emphasis on the word "passing."
Former Pats' receiver Christian Fauria said on WEEI this week that the Pats offense is not as complicated as the public thinks it is.
QUIZ OF THE WEEK: Five players have been both the rookie of the year and the MVP in the same year, two in the NFL, two in the NBA, and one in Major League Baseball. Who are they? (Answer near the bottom of the column.)
LINE OF THE WEEK comes from Josh Reddick on teammate Grant Balfour's wife, when asked who had the hottest wife on the team, via The New York Daily News: "She's a total smoke show."
Say what?
LINE OF THE WEEK II comes from Lenn Robbins in ghe New York Post on Johnny Manziel: "Johnny Foolboy."
Nobody demands a double team on the Pats.
The hype about Michael Vick was always better than the reality.
The Farrelly brothers, Rhode Island's gift to movies, are doing a sequel to "Dumb and Dumber."
Every village has an idiot, and the Knicks have J.R. Smith.
Nebraska is just the latest school to wear black uniforms for a national televised game, part of a growing trend.
Peyton is still better than Eli.
Television is now consistently better than movies, which once upon a time was almost sacrilegious to say.
And book stores are on the endangered species list, which means the Visigoths have won, Bunky, if you've been keeping score at home.
Julian Edelman is Wes Welker Lite, and that's real good.
The Red Sox honoring Mariano Rivera was a classy gesture.
Seton Hall just got a big-time basketball recruit out of New York City, winning out over the likes of Syracuse, Louisville and Arizona. When was the last time you've heard that?
Has the season started for RGIII yet?
There's no truth to the rumor that we should have a toll booth for all those Connecticut people leaving South County.
R.I.P., Ken Norton, one of the big dogs in boxing's last golden age, who once broke Muhammad Ali's jaw back in 1973.
And also Ed Hanrahan, a longtime Journal pressman, who once coached me in Babe Ruth League too many summers ago.
Did you see where a national magazine called Brown and RISD two of the top "hipster" schools in the country? Who knew?
Last week, Jim Furyk became only the sixth player to shoot a 59 in an PGA Tour event, and the ones who have not include Tiger, Jack, Arnie and just about every other all-time great you can name.
Speaking of "Johnny Football," he accounted for 562 of Texas A&M's 628 yards in the loss to Alabama last weekend.
Linwood Barclay's "A Tap On The Window" will keep you reading.
UConn is building a state-of-the-art basketball practice facility.
Matt Brown, the 6-foot-3 wide receiver from Barrington, is back with the Harvard football team after being out a year.
You know it's bad in Tampa Bay when Adam Jones of the Orioles tweets, "I know I'm a visiting player, but it would be awesome to see the Trop packed [this] week for some awesome baseball that's being played."
And you know it's bad around here when the traffic keeps getting worse and worse.
But there's no truth to the rumor that it's all the people riding around looking for work.
Quiz answer: Wilt Chamberlain in 1960 and Wes Unseld 1969 in the NBA, Fred Lynn in 1975 and Ichiro Suzuki in 2001 in Major League Baseball, and Earl Campbell in the NFL.
Where's the "Shmacked Tour" this weekend?
The NHL is more interesting with Tim Thomas back in it.
You know the Red Sox are having a great season when a story in The New York Post says that "stealing (the) Sox blueprint could breathe some life into Yankees next season."
Kudos to Joe Trainer and his URI football team for ending the school's 15-game losing streak last weekend at Albany.

Travis Talbot, who organized tomorrow's marathon fundraiser Boston Bites Back at Fenway Park with Ken Oringer and Ming Tsai, has an interesting background. The Globe reports that the former nightlife king of Canada spent his formative years "tending bar into the wee hours of the morning ... It was the first of his many nightlife adventures — a gig that made him popular with peers, but unpopular with school administrators because he came to class each morning smelling of booze and feeling scrappy."
He was "asked" to leave school early and never went to college. In Canada, he lived like a "rock star," setting up nightclubs and luxury resorts all over the world. But the party had to end: He ultimately sold his cars, emptied his bank accounts, and gave the money to charities on the advice of his mother, who was dying of cancer and urged him to help people instead of living life in the fast lane. He's now living in the North End and sometimes works as a chef (he goes by "T-Bone" Talbot in the kitchen). Maybe he can help Ming Tsai open a nightclub?

Link re-focuses towards development of aid programmes…
During 2007 the directors of Link made a significant decision regarding the future operation of this Charity which affects our volunteer programme overseas. This has resulted from Link's perceived need to change the emphasis of the way in which the charity achieves its objectives in order to remain effective. Work will now be focused towards development of its aid programme.
This will enable us to concentrate fully on all aspects of the training centre in Sri Lanka (see Post Tsunami Initiative) for which considerable funds have been raised. Links will also be maintained with the HIV/AIDS programme.
In 2008 Link Overseas Exchange will cease to offer its current type of volunteer placements and a more specialist programme will emerge on completion of the current building project in Sri Lanka.
The programme will be based around the training centre and transfer of skills between Scotland and Sri Lanka. More specific details will be released in the coming months. In the meantime, if you would like to register your interest in volunteering on this programme, please contact the Link office or submit an online application form.
Latest news from Samanikethanaya's Building Contractors
These pictures were taken in April 2008 and show the extent of the building work so far. Please click on a picture to see it full-size (just click "back" on your browser to return to this page).
Link & partners complete successful tour of Tsunami Centre building site
In March 2007 Andrew Greaves, Link's Director of Development, John MacKenzie of the University of Dundee and Sundeep Salins, Architect for Perth & Kinross Council, completed a successful visit to Sri Lanka and the Centre's building site. Andrew, John and Sundeep met with various partners of the Centre project, including the Bishop of Kurunegala and staff from the University of Perediniya. As building work continues, the next stage of the project is to build up a list of partners in Scotland, to increase the knowledge and skills base that can be transferred to the Centre.
Full details of the centre's progress can be read at the Post Tsunami Initiative page
Post Tsunami Initiative
Link's Tsunami Relief Appeal has reached a total of over £90,000. Dundee City Council has contributed £50,000 towards the new Samanikethana Dundee International Centre in Sri Lanka. Fife Council donated £23,000 last year. Lloyd's TSB Scottish Foundation is funding a coordinating role between Scotland and Sri Lanka for Dundee's Samanikethana Centre over a 3 year period. This will involve the transfer of skills and the establishment of management systems. Click on the link to read more about the plans for the new centre.
New kitchen
Link has recently funded a badly needed new kitchen at one of the placements in the south west of Sri Lanka.
Charity abseil
On Saturday 22nd April Jim McGovern MP abseiled from the Dundee University Tower Building to raise money for the Link Tsunami Relief Appeal. The money he raised through sponsorship will go towards the development of the Samanikethana Dundee International Centre.

Volunteers also raised £10,000 between them abseiling from the Tower Building to raise money towards their placements overseas. Special thanks to the following people who abseiled for the Tsunami Relief Appeal and HIV/AIDS programme: Fiona Caldow, Donald Orrock and Jillian Strachan. |
