another question, prompted by lbroer's request. I have an ancient (I bought it in 1975) Canadiana tiller with a 5hp Briggs motor that I'm trying to clean and refurbish. I wonder if anyone has a manual, or even an parts diagram lying around? I'd be happy to pay for a copy, and to have it mailed to me if a digital copy is unavailable.
Thanks for your replies...
Follow-Up Postings:
The engine manual is available from a Briggs dealer. Parts list for tiller may be available but likely only on dealer's micro fiche. What is the model number? |

hi canguy, thanks for posting. I should remind myself to read my posts before I post them! I do have - and should have said so - the parts diagram for the engine, which is 130292 0706 01, but thanks for the reminder. I have checked the tiller pretty thoroughly and can't find a model/serial number plate anywhere. It's a chain drive Canadiana "heavy duty" tiller which I purchased in 1975 from a local dealer. The guy is still around but not his shop, and his service manuals and fiche are gone. |

This is my first year propagating roses and I've got more hips/seeds than I'll ever use.
There's probably 100 rose hips from three plants, all over 30 years old. If you'd like a packet of seeds let me know. We have Cecile Brunner, an un-ID'd red grandiflora (with exhibition form) and one that I've never seen in bloom. Email me about how to get them to you and I'll send them out this week. |

Through a friend. I am very grateful for his knowledge, and aesthetic eye. Breast augmentation surgery is a big deal and there is nothing better than knowing that you have chosen a true artist and professional.

Would Choose Dr. Schwartz Again - Westlake Village, CA
Dr. Schwartz was very reassuring and informative in my decision to have a mastectomy and follow up reconstructive surgery. He was the light at the end of a very scary tunnel after a diagnosis of breast cancer. The follow up care and his staff were amazing for the full year of follow up. My results are still amazing 3 years later. I would love to have some other work done in the future and would trust his skill to give optimum results. Dr Schwartz is a rare breed of caring, compassionate physician. He takes time to answer all questions and reassure you of all risks and benefits before any procedure. My recovery was very uneventful due to the great follow up care from Dr. Schwartz and his staff.

What a Way to Start the NEW YEAR! MM Scheduled for 12/26/14! Westlake Village, CA
Pre-op: Office staff and Dr. seem great to date. There are lovely ladies working in the office but they are not intimidating. I feel comfortable to ask my questions and they have given me a good understanding of what to expect. The Dr. is extremely approachable and easy to talk to. He comes across as very confident (perhaps even cocky) but I believe this comes for knowing his trade & what results he will be able to achieve. Post Op - 3 days: Adding to this since now I am Post Op by a few days. Dr. Schwartz is terrific. He is positive, upbeat and fast paced. He has never had me wait for an appointment. He has a gentile touch and funny sense of humor. He always encourages me to call or email him directly with any questions or concerns that I have had. His staff is sweet and bubbly. So far everything has been a perfect fit for my needs.

Dr. Michael Schwartz is very knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable and confident in him the very first time we met. I knew then that I have made the best decision for myself. I could not wait for my surgery date because I knew that what to expect. I did not feel nervous at all, I was more excited and happy that I have been given the opportunity for optimum results.

I trusted Dr. Schwartz immediately. He has this way of making you feel at ease, right away. He's down to earth, yet sophisticated, funny, knowledgeable...and he listens! He knows what you want & has a clear/precise vision! Amazing!

19 Yr Old Girl with Pectus Excavatium, Deep Hole in the Middle of Breast One Boob A- Other Full A - Westlake Village, CA
Very confident, his original thought was the right thing to do as he found out during surgery, two different implants was the right move for a person with pectus excavation, He is was honest the whole way, but sweet, he exudes the fact that he has children, and he made me feel safe in his hands, confident but willing to listen, I loved him as a Doctor and a human being.

Breast Augmentation Went PERFECTLY - Westlake Village, CA
I cannot sing enough praise for Dr. Schwartz and his team!! Since calling in to make the consultation appointment I have been treated with warmth and great customer service. He sat with me and my fiance for almost two hours answering every question we could think of. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and can back up his statements with facts (some doctors only give you their opinion on implants and incisions). I had reservations about silicon, and he went through every possible reason why silicon wasn't anything to be afraid of. He even had a video visual to ease my mind. For the consultation he has a 3D machine that shows you how you would look with certain implants, and lets you take home the pictures. I went to three different consultations and none of them offered something like that. I have felt confidence in Dr. Schwartz each step of the way. He answers emails within 24 hours (but most of the time its within a few hours). His team is welcoming and reassuring. The nurse who helped answered any and every question I had and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Even the nurses in the OR stayed with me after the surgery, chatting with me making me comfortable in any way they could. I recommend this office to ANYONE considering a procedure.

Actually, I would agree (at least partially) with Democrat gun-grabber/Congresswoman Gwen Moore of Wisconsin. There are absolutely no restrictions in the Second Amendment against citizens owning things like nukes, submarines, drones, and tanks. Of course, she talks about that like it's a bad thing; that's where she and I disagree.
Who is this DINGGGY Biotch anyway? Doesn't she know people already do own Nukes and Submarines?
And Sub's are not considered a Weapon. And many Scientist already posses nuclear reactors they use for science. Who's to say they could not be used for bad things. Typical Black Obama Supporter, echoing Obamas Propaganda. I went to a well known Grocery store chain yesterday. You know Wally Worle, and I saw many Black men, and I attempted to be nice to them, and say Hi, and NONE OF THEM would even look at me, and just Snarled at me and looked away.

My very fine, curly long-ish hair loves this stuff. It's not quite enough to take the place of a serum for me, as I was hoping when I bought it, but it will probably reach HG status for me anyway.
I shampoo & condition only 1-2x/week, and on days that I don't, I have been using a dab of Rene Furterer Straightening Gel plus a dab of various leave-ins to refresh my hair a little (faves being Kiehl's Hair Conditioner and Grooming Aid Formula 133 and Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk).
I find that this is a really nice, lightweight but effective product to alternate with my other leave-ins so that I'm not ganaching my hair with too much cumulative goop and weighing it down, especially after day 2 or 3. My hair is already pretty soft (thanks, Joico products!) but this definitely adds a little more smoothness in addition to tamping down my hair's natural inclination to be a fuzzy, spazzy mess.
My only minor gripe is that I'm not crazy about it being a spray - I'd prefer a smaller bottle of more concentrated product that I could use less of, plus a little water. But really, it's a quibble and one that definitely won't stop me from repurchasing.

I have been using Joico products for years and this is definitely a must have product for me.
I have waist length wavy hair which tends to dryness and I use this product every morning to detangle and add a boost of moisture and shine. Helps tame the flyaways and frizz and leaves my hair looking naturally soft and shiny.
Does not seem to build up leaving my with oily, lanky hair between washes.
I have tried other detanglers but always come back to this one, it really is the best.

PROS: makes hair easy to comb through :)
CONS: doesn't smell that fantabulous :(
COMMENTS: I really like this detangler and it works really good on my hair. I have really thick and dry hair, and it completely hydrates it and makes it shiny while making it super easy to comb through. I honestly don't know what I would do without this detangler in the morning. The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't smell the best... it smells okay but not as good as most of the detanglers I've used, maybe that's just me though... But other than that it's AMAZING. <3

I was looking for a good leave in for my dry, frizzy hair. I recently got it cut, and the hairdresser mentioned how dry the ends were. Obviously whatever I was using before (Herbal Essence Long term relationship & Pantene detangler) wasn't working. I bought this product to help maintain my new cut. This made the ends of my hair feel really nice, just as if I walked out of the salon. BUT after using this for a few days, and just using it on the ends (not the scalp), I developed what I thought was dander on my scalp. After using a clarifying shampoo the dander and itchiness was gone! This was the only new product in my hair care routine. I will not repurchase.

I am in love with this product! And I don't mean your average idle every day kind of love either. I'm talking about "I wanna throw it down on the floor and make love to it" love. This stuff is the detangler of all detanglers for me and I've tried pretty much all of them. No matter what I've done to my poor hair, no matter the damage, no matter how far post relaxer I am, no matter WHAT, this stuff makes detangling and blow drying my hair a breeze.
It has a fresh light smell and I've noticed so much less breakage since I've been using this. It leaves my hair feathery soft and best of all it doesn't leave a residue, it's not thick and sticky like some detanglers and it's a heat protectant to boot. GREAT stuff.

I love Daily Care Leave-in Detangler. This is my HG of leave-in conditioners and thermal protectant.
It gets the tangles out of my long, fine hair, and gives great shine and volume. My hair feels now like silk.

Definite re-purchase. Maybe it's because my hair is already spoiled by Joico products, but this leave-in is perfect for my hair. I get softness and strength, a little volume and shine. Love it forever.

Pee Wee, I have a Magnavox 20MT1331/17 and my set shuts off until it is warmed up as well. I cannot find the 3340 resistor. Is the resistor different for my model set.

I really enjoyed the photo essay and the captions. I have never had chickens and have always wanted them. So I am always interested in seeing pictures of how other people keep them. Before you all say I could have them, unless they are in the house (pet house chickens?)it is against city ordinaces here and I am not willing to break the law. I guess no chickens for me. From your comments I guess that foxes, coyotes, cats or racoons got whatever chickens you had before. I like this batch but if they were different I would like that too. But they are very pretty and sweet looking. I figgure you keep them for fresh eggs. The buff ones really did grow much bigger than the dark ones. |

OOoohh how kewl is that! Chickens are on my list for things to try next year. I know nothing whatsoever about them, but my husband has raised quail and pidgeons for years that he uses to train his bird dogs (mostly they just get to go free thank goodness). I want layers - no chicken slaughter in Cindy's chicken house. I am most interested - what kind of coop have you tried? I am picturing something that belongs in one of the pics in the Potager garden forum with a sign, little blue chicken house with shutters, wire baskets to collect the eggs - LOL. So glad you posted and I saw this. :) Are these the best kinds to raise? I bought a book and got very very confused! |
- Posted by gottagarden z5 western NY (My Page) on Fri, Jun 18, 10 at 17:19
How cute! How exciting! I can tell you're an old hand at this, while I'm a newbie. Do they lay white or brown eggs? |

I have never raised the Black Sex-Links before, but have had the Buffs and loved them. They are very docile - too docile. They don't fight or struggle to protect themselves, so they were EASY Pickin's for all kinds of predators. This time, they are not getting out of the run. The Buff Orpingtons are the sweetest and most gentle of all chickens - that is not my opinion, that is in any description you find on the breed. They don't like to be picked up. They scream bloody murder, but they don't peck or scratch. They will eat out of your hand and sit on your lap if you get them used to you. They grow to be very heavy birds and get fluffier as they get fatter bodies. These chicken are called "dual purpose" chickens because they are for meat and eggs production, although I can't see myself eating "my girls". Buffs are not massive egg producers and that suits me fine because we are massive egg eaters! They are also later to start laying then other breeds. They make great surrogate mothers for other hens. Below is a Link to a great website about Buff Orpingtons and Back Yard Chicken Raising. I wish I had such an industrious man to build me a chicken coup and run like that. Their chickens are more like pets than my girls. GG, it also shows the color of their eggs - a terracotta pink or brick pink perhaps. You will notice on the website how pale their feet are compared to my hen's feet. Well, when chicks and hens are young, their feet are bright yellow. When they begin to lay eggs their feet turn a pale, dull color. When they get old and stop laying, their feet turn more yellow again. (If you ever get an adult hen, then check out her feet. They will tell you if she is laying eggs or ready for the soup pot. Some people will try to cheat you into buying their old hens that no longer lay eggs.) These are things (and more) that you learn over time if you stick with it long enough. Raising small livestock like chickens is not something to go into lightly. It is a lot of work. Don't be fooled by cute websites that only show you the highlights and super clean conditions and it is always spring or summer on those website. (amazing!) No matter what the weather, they have to be cared for everyday. Thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail storms, flashfloods, heat waves, blizzards, ice storms...it doesn't matter. They are totally dependent upon you! You can't go off on holidays or the weekend and leave them unless you get someone competent to care for them while you are gone. You must change their water every day (or more often depending up the weather). You must provide them food, scratch and greens and a sturdy safe place to live and a run that has both a sunny spot for dust baths and shade for when it is hot. You have to keep their living quarters clean and disease free. Hay for nests and floor liter and that needs to be cleaned out periodically and new hay laid down. You need to spray clean and scrub their living quarters down with water and bleach once a year to kill insects, disease and mites. Mice LOVE chicken pens and coops, so then do snakes and other predators looking for rodents and chicken eggs. They need baths occasionally. When they get fat and sassy they sometimes have difficulty preening their bottoms and get doody stuck on their bums. You have to get it off in warm soapy water and then a good warm water rinse. If it is cold out, you will have to bring them in the house and do it. (I have seldom had to do this, but I have had to a few times) In the summer months when it is hot, I just get a new large cat litter pan and set it in their run and partially fill with water. They love to splash and play in it and bath in cool, clean water just like all other birds do. Then dump it, clean it with soapy water and rinse and give them fresh water the next day. They have to be dusted for mites from time to time, which they do not like. If you don't, they will get mites and mites will get on you too. Not trying to scare any of you wanna-be-chicken lovers away from trying your hand at it, but being realistic with you about it. Most websites don't mention any of the nasty stuff. Okay, as for the Black Sex-Links, this breed is really new to me. I do know they are hybrid chickens. They do not breed true, as they are a cross between a male of one breed and a female from another breed to get the resulting characteristics wanted by the breeder. There are many kinds of them, but most common are reds and blacks. I had reddish brown ones for several years and I loved them. They looked just like the ones I have now, blue feet and all. They lay brown eggs. They are small little chickens. They were great chickens and among my favorites.They are closer to being wild chickens. Lay lots of eggs and are excellent bug and snake hunters. When Sex-links are chicks you can easily distinguish the males from the females. The male chicks look like their rooster father's breed and the female chicks look like their mother hen's breed. I think that is cool. Here is what I found on Sex-Links: Barred hen + non-barred rooster = Barred males and Non-Barred females Those are just a few examples of the various sex-linked combinations. |

We have seven chicks, each a different kind. They are great!! We did get one unusual chick. It's some sort of pious breed of aracauna. You can see its yarmulke in the picture. Some people have said it looks like and acorn, but I'm pretty sure it's a yarmulke. |

It does look like a Yarmulke though, doesn't it. Sing a Yiddish song and see if she dances. :) Hava nagila, I like that song...fun to dance to. Okay, it IS the cap of an acorn, right? She is a real beauty and so cute! |

So, it's YOUR fault! We thought a fox was getting in the henhouse, and it was just Lydia hearing you sing! Caused quite a commotion among the other girls! P.S. I can't speak to the acorn. Far be it from me to hinder her expressions of faith...but it does look awfully like an acorn, doesn't it ? ;-) |
Nice birds Annie and Deanna. Big chicken fan here; I'm got a small clutch of Rose Comb Ancona eggs in the incubator right now. Here's two of my snappy little |

Oh, I love black and white chickens. I looked for some here, but couldn't find them. The roosters are especially beautiful. Those are just the most adorable little mates. Congratulations! Thank you both for joining in this "Chick-in Dance". ~Annie |
Must be great to have access to fresh eggs! Even though we live in the middle of the city we're allowed so many hens. Unfortunately, we don't have the room to dedicate to a nice coop. I'd have to give up flower beds and I'm not willing to do that. Cindy, there's a blog I occasionally read where someone has built a beautiful coop. Here's a link if you're interested. |

OK, that is NOT a chicken coop. It's a chicken estate...or a chicken resort...or a chicken country club...or a chicken manor. I guess it qualifies as a "gated community?'' Get it? HAHAHA! I just crack myself up, even if nobody else laughs. |
Deanna, it is gorgeous isn't it! That lady doesn't do anything simple. Everything is over the top, but I do love the coop. |

I love that coop! Actually it looks a lot like the one I'd rather picked out and have been working on my husband to build. I'd kind of like to paint mine that same blue, though, of Lisa's potting shed. Out back someplace by the vegie garden. This one is a little smaller and simpler and my goodness the RUN on that one is over the top for a few chickens - I mean they have a regular state park's worth of ranging they can do - LOL. |

I just love all the chicken pictures. Especially those little black and white ones above. I check out anything new on the 'chicken thread' right away. I read that hen house blog on the link too, thanks! I thought it was very interesting. Did you all notice the pretty hen pictured at the very end? Wow, she sure is a beauty! |
I'm up to 6 peeper dudes now, with four more eggs in the incubator, and a broody hen taking care of another three for 9 total. (never count the eggs before they hatch) Actually, I'm setting eggs specifically from one pair, so once a week, I start a new "mini-clutch". 21 days later, once they're out of the shells, dried and fluffed, I use 10 gallon aquariums for a brooder; they're easy to see (fun to watch), draft free, and just big enough for up to five chicks for about two weeks. |

littledog, Where did you get those eggs to hatch? I want some of those black and whites! Maybe if you don't live too far away, I could buy some chicks from you. Seriously. ~Annie |

The University of Nebraska Medical Center has worked for years to develop significant partnerships in China. The result includes research collaboration, faculty and student exchanges and enhanced education in both countries. Through these partnerships, UNMC's reputation as a world-class institution continues to deepen.
Comments from our supporters
"To be a competitive force in today's world, it is vital to have global partnerships. I am pleased the Asia Pacific Rim Development Program at UNMC has developed numerous relationships in Asia over its 10 year history, particularly in China. I have been actively involved in these efforts both in Nebraska and on my trips to China. Partnerships with the China Scholarship Council, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Tongji University, and Xi'an Jiaotong University Health Science Center have been mutually beneficial and have helped UNMC further develop its reputation as a world-class institution."
-- Gov. Dave Heineman
"Global engagement is a high priority for the University of Nebraska. Providing opportunities for our students and faculty to have meaningful international experiences, attracting talent to the state, and partnering with institutions around the world with complementary strengths and interests to advance science and spur the innovation economy are key components of our global engagement strategy. The University of Nebraska Medical Center's engagement in China over the last 10 years has very successfully combined all of these objectives. Our nursing and medical students have gained valuable experience by participating in clinical rotations in Chinese hospitals and we have been able to draw top Chinese graduate and medical students and scholars to Nebraska. Our research collaborations have advanced the science at the core of our work and now UNMC is breaking new ground in technology transfer that will help move our scientific breakthroughs to the marketplace in China. This is essential work in our interconnected and interdependent world that benefits not only the people of Nebraska, but also the people of China and people around the world. I congratulate all those at UNMC and in China who have worked hard to make this possible and I look forward to seeing the results of another decade of collaboration. Best wishes for continued success!"
-- James Linder, M.D.
Interim President
University of Nebraska
"I want to extend my congratulations to the Chinese and American growing and productive collaboration celebrating its 10th Anniversary. The strong ties that have developed over the years through these exchanges has been of mutual benefit for students, faculty, patient care and community engagement. In addition, it has fostered enduring friendships between and among institutions, and mutual respect and admiration between the peoples. Although cultures may be different and distances are great, our human needs are the same, which help to overcome all obstacles to collaboration.
My best wishes for another successful annual research meeting, and for continued progress in these collaborations during the next 10 years."
-- Harold M. Maurer
UNMC Chancellor Emeritus
"APRDP, congratulations on your 10th anniversary.
It has been a decade of learning, growth, many successes and, most importantly, the forming of friendships that are so very important to our future in China.
I doubt any of us making our first visit to China in 2004 would have forecast the close relationships that have developed between UNMC faculty, staff and students and our Chinese counterparts. Nebraska is now well known in throughout China. Students, faculty and staff from numerous Chinese universities have experience at UNMC, and have returned to China with excellent reports on that experience. In the same fashion, faculty, students and staff from UNMC in increasing numbers are participating in programs at Chinese universities and institutes. This was our original intent; and, happily, it is coming to pass. Only good things can come from this relationship, and many Nebraskans and Chinese will benefit from the hard work that made it possible.
Today, our relationship with China goes beyond education and includes research, clinical care and business relations. Nothing could be more satisfying than to have had the opportunity to witness the growing strength of these many relationships. I am confident that the next 10 years will deepen these relations, and the twenty year anniversary in 2024 will have even more to celebrate."
-- Donald S. Leuenberger
Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance
"Relationships are not built overnight. As UNMC marks its 10th year anniversary of collaborations with China, the growth of our programs and interactions with multiple institutions and leaders in China are a testament to our commitment as well as our vision and desire for this relationship to grow. I salute the work that you have done and look forward to what will be built in the next ten years!"
-- Jennifer L. Larsen, M.D.
Vice Chancellor for Research
Louise and Morton Degen Professor of Internal Medicine
"It takes time and courtship to become good friends. It takes patience and trust to become great friends. I am pleased to reflect on some of the highlights of the great friendship that has developed between UNMC and our partners in Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an and other parts of China over the past 10 years.
During this decade, there have been numerous health science conferences and exchanges involving faculty, professional and graduate students from both sides of the partnership and almost 100 China Scholarship Council Students from premier institutions in China have either obtained or are currently obtaining advanced degrees at UNMC. In addition, numerous leadership visits have transpired for promotion of scientific and economic ties between China and UNMC/TNMC as well as the State of Nebraska. Concrete plans are being implemented on training the first generation of Family Medicine and Physical Therapy practitioners who will be the pioneers of these newly emerging fields in China. In the midst of all these developments, genuinely strong and enduring friendships have been forged between Nebraskan and Chinese professionals; bonds that have served and will continue to serve as the scaffolding that will support us to even greater heights of collaboration. In this competitive era where it is increasingly important to be global thinkers, the full value of the economic, sociologic and other intangible benefits of these ties cannot be easily quantified and may not be totally evident until a much later date.
My warmest and sincere congratulations to the entire devoted leadership team, faculty, staff and students on both sides of the UNMC Asia-Pacific Rim program who have crafted the vision, then worked diligently and patiently over the past decade to build the trust and respect that has enabled this model relationship to blossom."
-- H. Dele Davies, M.D., M.S., MHCM
Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
Dean for Graduate Studies
"The partnership between UNMC and its sister universities in China is an excellent example of international cooperation at its best. From the first exploratory visit , UNMC has stood by its claim of always doing what it says it will do, and our friends in China have reciprocated in kind. I look forward to seeing what the next ten years will bring."
-- Thomas Rosenquist

Sea-Tac Airport ranks in top 10 of world's best airports
Skytrax World Airport Awards were announced in Barcelona, Spain - and Sea-Tac ranked in the top 10 of four categories:
- #3 for Best Airport Staff in the World
- #4 for Best Regional Airports in North America
- #8 for Best Airports in North America
- #10 for World's Best Airports Serving 30-40 Million passengers
The World Airport Awards are voted for by customers in an annual world-wide customer satisfaction survey. This year more than 12.85 million customers completed the survey and ranked 410 airports.
One change from last year? Sea-Tac was #1 in Best Airport Staff in the world. This year it's #3. Have you seen a change in your airport experience?
We're thinking with the extended hours of musical entertainment, and the expanded cellphone waiting lot, the whole airport process is just going to keep getting better and better.
Next maybe they'll do something about getting more legroom on actual planes? Please?

I have to agree with the two posters below me. I've been in many airports and SeaTac is better than most. LAX is one of the worst. Dallas is pretty good, but the lines there can be very long at times. Cancun is one of the worst on arrival, but I usually don't mind much, as I'm in vacation mode by that time.Â
Weird, I've NEVER had to wait more than 20 minutes in the TSA line, whether I'm flying economy or first, and that's in my 12 years living here. Even on major holidays, I'm surprised how swift the lines are. As for baggage, ya that's an airline issue. If I fly Alaska, it comes out in under 20m. If I fly United, I'm screwed.Â
I did have an interesting experience with TSA that made me question their effectiveness (more than usual). Somehow my girlfriend and I ended up with the exact same boarding pass: Under my name and both with my seat (that's obviously on the airline). However, the TSA guy checked both our tickets, and the only thing he said to my gf was "I like your hair better when it was blonde" upon looking at her photo. We noticed the ticket error like 15m before boarding and the agents went off on the TSA guys a bit.
I don't know what times some of you are flying, but the longest I have ever been in a TSA line at SeaTac was about 15 minutes. We always fly cheap seats, so no special "fast lane" to get through the lines in our case.
Customs takes a while to get through, but it took twice as long in Japan.Â
SeaTac could use a few more pre-TSA food choices, but at least they have some that are open 24 hours. I've been in some US airports where even in the terminal area there's no food service open before 7:00am or after 8:00pm.
The seating and facilities in the terminal are, for the most part, in good repair. There are plenty of available electrical outlets.
I haven't flown enough to know if SeaTac is one of the best airports in the world but, overall, SeaTac is one of the better airports that I have flown out of or into.
Yeah this is pretty bogus. SeaTac is one of the worst airports in the country for international flights because of the way customs is run. The lines are outrageous and they don't even bother staffing half of the customs booths most of the time. I talk to a lot of international travelers (and have suffered it myself many times) and nobody can believe how long it takes (waiting up to 2 hours after you get off the plane before you can leave the airport). SeaTac should be ashamed.
Top 10 in the world? I'm very skeptical about this. I find SeaTac to be second only to Phoenix as the biggest pain in the butt airport for getting in and out. The tsa lines are long here, but seems like every time I try to fly out of Phoenix, the wait to take off is miserable, usually 30-45 minutes on the taxiway, if not longer.
My favorite airport? Burbank. Short tsa lines and incredibly fast taxi and takeoff.
I would have to say that SeaTac is a pretty decent airport. I add my jeers about the baggage though. Always seems to be slow. I've been to some real dumps in my day.
Strange.......I figure we be in the so so category list.
Lax security on luggage ramp, TSA 's friendly but appears to profile during screening. Â
The only problem I have with airport in the unavailability of decent food BEFORE the TSA checkpoint. If you want to spend some time with someone before going through the checkpoint, the choices are minimal at best.
Didn't have to remove my belt or shoes, and was told to leave my laptop in my bag when I just recently flew out of SeaTac, so the TSA seems to be getting a little faster and things are getting slightly better from my perception.Â
Best airport? ya right, decent airport, but not one of the best. While the facilities are fairly nice and the gates are decently spacious you have to wait forever to get your baggage. I had to wait 50 minutes to get my baggage on Friday. Oh and if you don't have TSA pre check you have to wait in like for a good 30 minutes or more at security checkpoints. Also, they claim the new cell phone lot is bigger than the other one? I dont think so. I have never had issues finding spots in the old cell phone lot, yet last night in the new cell phone lot I couldn't find a spot and had to keep circling before I could find one, even the "overflow" section was full. Oh and getting out of the cell phone lot sucks now with the light there. If your trying to get back onto the road towards arrivals and departures you have to take a left out of the cell phone lot, but you dont have a protected green arrow so you are yeilding to turn left which in itself wouldn't be that big of a deal. Problem is that you have tons of cars coming off the exit across the road to get into the cell phone lot that there is rarely a gap large enough to take a left to get back onto the highway. It took me two light rotations to finally be able to get out of there.Â
I would be much better if tsa didnt close the checkpoints so early. Like if your flying United after 7pm you have to go back to the opposite side of the airport then come back.
When flying out of Seattle I find things relatively smooth and trouble free. I have had problems at other airports with the exception of Yuma International. One time I was run through a bomb detection unit because I was carrying a water filter. Water was even dripping from it. Go figure.
One time I was held in the TSA line and they held the plane for me. Got some nasty looks from some passengers when I finally boarded. I didn't mind since I made my flight.
@relax101 Â You ended up in the fast lane! Â That's not typical, you got lucky when the agent diverted you there. Â I get lucky once in a while too, and feel sorry for all the people who pay to be in that lane. Â They pay an annual fee!
@Snowman5678 Â I logged on to say exactly the same things! Â WORST baggage service we've experienced anywhere, and we have very full passports. Â Third world countries don't take as long as Seatac does to get your bags to you. Â Immigration is a joke. Â They'll have 3 planes land at the same time and 2 agents (and yes, I know Immigration is a separate entity from the airport). Â Nobody directs the lines, so visitors with visas are mixed in among all the residents who would breeze right through. Â Parking is atrociously expensive, on par with NYC airports. Â Their pay-at-kiosk option is apparently very confusing to people because we usually get stuck behind someone who pulled into a 'paid' lane but didn't pay, and often there is no agent there. Â Seatac is extremely frustrating, and unfortunately, it's our home airport.
@Doxie @Snowman5678 That'd an airline issue, not the airport's. Alaska Airlines guarantees your bags within 20 min of landing and I've never seen them fail to meet that standard and I fly frequently.
@Emily Bailey @Doxie @Snowman5678  True, but it does reflect on the airport, just as the ridiculous Immigration and TSA lines do.  We don't use Alaska much, so it's common to wait forever for bags, even at 1 am when the airport is dead. Â

Different types of settlement and release agreements
There are different kinds of settlement and release agreements that can be used by individuals or parties to settle disputes and claims. These agreements can be used to release a person or party from any liability. Settlement and release agreements are legal documents that protect individuals or parties from possible lawsuits. A settlement is a deal between two or more individuals or parties who have finally resolved their conflicts with mutual acknowledgment. One benefit of settling a dispute or a case is that there is no need to bring the conflict into a trial. Settlement permits both parties to avoid litigation costs, save time, as well as the emotional stress associated with going through a legal battle. One downside of settlement is the fact that one party might gain a more favorable award if the dispute was brought into a lawsuit. An employee settlement and release document is used to settle any claims by a worker against his or her employee. In exchange for a specific amount of money, the worker will agree to waive any rights to file wrongful termination or other claims against the employer. The document will specify that both the parties will completely and amicably resolve any claim or conflict. The agreement will also include a provision that both parties were advised by their counsels, and that they understand the terms and consequences of the contract. This kind of agreement usually includes provisions on payment, tax, release, and non-disclosure. The non-disclosure agreement indicates that the employee and his or her counsel have not shared or disclose to anyone the terms of the agreement. Some agreements will add terms that the employee will not look for employment or enter into business relations with the employer or any of its affiliates or parent companies. A release and settlement agreement could also be used for general debt. This document may include the language that is needed to settle the debt for a lower amount than what is due. It may also include words saying that the debtor's credit reporting will be improved once the issue has been settled. This agreement is frequently used by creditors who are willing to settle a debtor's debt due to a very long period of non-payment. In settling medical expenses, a release and settlement form could indicate that the patient will settle a medical bill for a lower amount than what is actually due. This agreement is usually used by the patient or plaintiff to settle a lawsuit because the legal costs are getting too expensive to pay. |

Our 14 year old house in the northeast has 61 windows with IG and 3 french door with IG. The windows are mostly double hung with some casements as well. The wood windows and doors are from Pozzi which is now part of Jeld-Wen. Within the 10 year warranty period on the glass, Pozzi replaced 3 or 4 IG units which had failed. Now at year 14 I notice 14 more IGU's which are fogged or have huge amounts of condensation within the IGU.
Pozzi has provided very good customer service to date in spite of our problems. For example, one of our windows rotted out, after the warranty period. The field person Pozzi sent really couldn't figure out a root cause for the failure. Pozzi sold and shipped a new window at a 50% discount. Now they are offering the same deal on glass replacements for our failed IGU's (excluding labor). They agree that the failure rate we are seeing is way above their average for windows of that vintage. I expect we haven't seen the last of these types of failures either. What is a reasonable expectation for IGU failure rates? Other than the IGU failures, the windows are otherwise in pretty good shape (new weatherstipping is probably in order at this point as well). I do notice that the one new Pozzi window we have does seal tighter and have better glass performance than our older units. Is replacing the glass the right thing to do, or would it make more sense to take more drastic action? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The IGU system that Pozzi currently uses is substantially better than the system that they used when your windows were originally manufactured. Whereas the previous system had failure rates as high as 8 to 10% (or even higher in some cases, unfortunately) the system that they are now using has documented failures of less than .1% at 20 years. A very substantial improvement. If everything else in the windows is performing, then an IGU change would likely be the best (and likely least expensive) route to take. Make sure that the new units have LowE2 coating and argon fill for optimum performance (which may be standard for Pozzi anyway - I can't remember off the top-of-my-head). The new IGU's should come with a 20 year warranty. |
Question about determining whether an IGU has failed... Some of our windows have failed without question. Huge amounts of water drops and fogging resides within the IGU. Another class of windows show fogging, usually a smallish area near the bottom of the window, but you don't see the major nearly full obstruction of view of the first class. These windows seem to have a problem without question, but they are much less dramatic and can be somewhat temperature sensitive in that the fogging reduces or goes away as the outdoor temp rises. The third class of windows I suspect really only show signs of trouble when the temperature is very cold in the 0F to 10F range. These windows only show slight signs of fogging in these very cold temperatures. With these am I essentially seeing early signs of failure or can this be a normal behavior of IGUs when it gets real cold? Since it's been real cold I've photographed all the windows showing any sign of trouble. I'm sure by the time a Pozzi field person gets here it will be *much* warmer. |

I have an entire wall if Pozzi insulated windows, made up of eight separate window units, with 12 glass panels in total. All the glass seals have failed in the ten years since they were installed. Some of the larger panels have failed more than once. The seal breakage started about three years after installation. I had to fight to get the replacements covered by warranty (I was told that the labor wasn't included, but I read my warranty carefully, challenged them, and proved them wrong). I've had some wood rot as well, but Pozzi/JW will take no responsibility for that. They did admit at one point that they had changed glass manufacturers (implying that they knew there was a problem with the old glass), but now I have a strange failure in a panel that was produced by the newer manufacturer. It looks like caulk has leaked into the space between the glass panels -- as if someone has squirted caulk in there straight out of the tube. The customer service rep at Pozzi/JW knew exactly what I was talking about when I described it, so it can't be unusual. Has anyone else experienced this? I have found posts about lawsuits against the company, but the threads are always closed down. |
- Posted by skydawggy (email@example.com) on Fri, Feb 10, 12 at 14:44
Just because they changed glass manufacturers does not necessarily mean there was a problem with the previous glass units. It may be that they got better pricing or that the glass they switch to had some other advantage such as a change from hard coat LoE to soft coat when it came out. Could have been a switch from a box aluminum spacer to a newer more advanced on like Super Spacer or Duralite. |
I have an entire house of Pozzi windows. All the seals on all the window failed. So Pozzi (Jeld Wen) did supply replacment windows. And I paid to have them painted and installed. Now the replacement window seals are failing. Jeld Wen will send the windows but I keep having (over and over) to pay to have the replacement windows painted and installed. The most recent labor cost is $3500 to paint and install replacements for 7 windows and 4 french doors that are not even 6 years old. What remedies do I have? I live in San Diego. |

Short of hiring a lawyer, I'd say you are stuck. Sorry, wish I had better advice for you. I really have trouble understanding how companies like Jeld-Wen stay in business. It's an even bigger mystery why consumers continue to buy their garbage. Good luck, I hope you are able to come to an agreeable resolution. |
"It's an even bigger mystery why consumers continue to buy their garbage. " The vast majority of consumers look only at acquisition cost. With most of the savings unverifiable it comes down to the proverbial 'liars contest' and initial cost is the real driver. |
Yep, that's entirely correct. Whoever can lie the best. Jeld-Wyn sucks, as do a lot of window companies out there. Look at Champion, with there warranty that covers everything forever, which is impossible considering their hack installations and crap window. Seems like the desperate lies are worse in a bad economy. It's a shame for the consumer, who can't tell the difference between one or the other. Anyway, back to the thread. You have to work with what you've got to work with at this point. I'm hearing more and more stories of failed IG units all over the place. I would like to know what kind of units they are, what kind of spacers they have, and who assembled them. |

2013 and earlier Jeep Grand Cherokee Lease Questions
jmza2 Posts: 2This is my first time leasing and I want to make sure I am getting a good deal on the car. Here are the particulars:
2012 Jeep GC Overland
Negotiated Price: $41,985
Terms: 36 Month w/ 15k miles @ .55 interest through Ally (I don't think they do money factor)
The sales reps also told me he factored in the $1,500 lease incentive.
Monthly cost $559 + $36 in tax = $595 total
I'm negotiating on the phone right now as I don't believe in going to the dealer unless the price is firm. -

slu2012 Posts: 1Hello I am new to this forum, On April 26 I leased a 2012 Jeep GC basic model for $363 a month. All I had to put down was first month. It has been a month and Ally has no record of the lease being finalized, so I can not make a payment. I called Jeep yesterday and they said Ally needs proof a residency. Hear is the problem, I leased the jeep in a state I will be moving to in one month, so at this time I do not have proof of residency to give Ally. Jeep knew this when we made the deal, but now they are saying Alley needs proof a residency which I can not give. Does anyone have any idea what can be done or what might happen? Thanks for your help.
rackerman Posts: 8I'm new here so i apologize in adavance for any stupid quesitons. I am looking to lease a new 12' JGC Overlander - 3 yrs 39 months and i want see if anyone knows the current interest rate (or MF) and the residual value on the car. If you do respond can you confirm which bank provided you with those figures.
Thank you. -
kkcar2 Posts: 1Car man
I was quoted for JGC Laredo with X and E package a 38625 msrp with selling cost 36285. They quoted a money factor of .0012 that I think equates to 2.88%. They didn't mention the bank but seems fairly high. Residual was 55% for 12k and 39month lease. Any thoughts on what money factor is this month? -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hello stevern. Ally's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD with 12,000 miles per year are 0.02% and 51%, respectively.
When negotiating your deal on this truck, make sure to take advantage of the $1,500 cash incentive that is currently available on leases of it.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi cnote2. I haven't seen any numbers for the Grand Cherokee Attitude. Is this new trim level considered to be a variant of the Limited or Overland models? If not, then Chrysler has not published a lease program for it yet.

danimal77 Posts: 1732,330 MSRP base 4x4 Grand Cherokee Laredo
Can someone tell me what's the absolute best lease deal on this vehicle with 12k/36 or 39 mo lease? I've been offered $360 per month payment (includes tax of 6.75) and that is with 2,000 cash due at signing.
I don't know what the actual sale price is but it's probably around 30,000. Dealer said there is 1,500 insentive and then they can deduct additional $500 but not more.
Thoughts? Thank you so much! -
cnote2 Posts: 63
danimal77 Posts: 17Jeep dealer in Ohio showed us lease specials on Grand Cherokee Laredo and X with leather and sunroof plus other equipment. All prices were under $400 including taxes with $2000 total due at signing that includes 1st payment. "base" 4x4 was like $339mo plus tax on 39mo with 12k. I think X (or whatever model has leather and sunroof) was $369 plus tax same terms as above.
Can someone share their REAL LIFE experience with 2012 Grand Cherokee, particularly gas mileage. What is the average you get in the city and freeway? I know what EPA estimates are but what's your real life experience? Thanks for sharing. -
ledeen Posts: 1I owned a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited for about 6 years, and it was my best car...... loved it . It was so solid and stayed that way through to when I sold it at 125K Miles.
The gas mileage wasn't great. About 17 -20 average. Also service prices were very very high. However that wasn't until I hot about 70K miles..
After trying a supposedly less expensive car (VW Passat) turns out it cost me just as much as a new Laredo would cost me on a lease, and there is a world of difference. I loved my Jeep! Great great automobile. -
amzn Posts: 6hi Car_man,
I leased a 2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo Altitude 4x4 5.7L from Lithia about 10 days ago. The price is great: MSRP ~$42K. The price before TTL is ~$36K which is used to calculate the down payment and monthly payments.
However, there's a serious problem that I identified after I drove it a couple days. The RPM would go up to 4k+ while the car was not gaining much speed (40-50 miles per hour), each time after I drove the car for 30-60 minutes. The only thing I did was turning on the air conditioning, before or while I was accelerating on the ramp to get onto the highway - then there's noticeable increase with the RPM to 4K+ while other parameters remained about the same. Typically the RPM stays in 1K to 2K range. The typically toggling "ECO" indicator disappeared. It seemed that the 8 cylinder mode is running. There must be something wrong with the transmission, or some sensors.
I have a couple of questions:
1) the lease is with the Ally bank. Should Ally, Chrysler, or the Lithia dealer be taking care of the problem?
2) This is a brand new Jeep. When I leased it, the mileage is less than 50. Is this considered a lemon car such that the lease should be invalidated?
3) I called the dealer. they were hesitating that I use the 24-hour assistance/towing service. they said they will have the service department to pick up the Jeep tomorrow. Do you think I should actually insist on using the Jeep 24-towing service, and/or tow the car to a different dealer (5 miles away) so that they can independently check the Jeep?
thanks for your help. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi amzn. Both Chrysler and Ally are going to tell you to take your vehicle back to the dealership to get it checked out. If there is a transmission problem, perhaps it is a known issue that the dealer can fix relatively easily. Let's hope. If you are uncomfortable driving it to the dealer, you probably can have them tow it in.
You won't be able to have your truck declared a lemon until this probably persists for quite some time with several unsuccessful attempts by the dealer to repair it.

510akcali Posts: 2Hi Car_Man,
Can you please post residuals and money factors for a 2012 Jeep Cherokee Altitude 4X2 and 4X4 for 39 months 15k/yr. Is there a residual change for a V8 or V6 as well. The availability of these cars are light so I have to be pretty open.
Also do you know of the lease incentives or rebates.
Thanks for all your help Car_Man you are a life saver! -
amzn Posts: 6Thanks very much Car_man for your note. I had the dealer looked at the car, and they couldn't replicate the problem. I picked up the car this afternoon and drove it for 3 hours and didn't see the issue that I had several days ago. I'll just assume that the problem is gone. Plus I can always manually shift up the gear levels if the problem happens again. Before the Jeep, I had a two-year lease of a Ford Fusion, which at one time locked itself and couldn't move on the highway. I took it to the dealer but they never figured out what happened. The problem never happened again. I'll just assume that this Jeep issue is a one-off thing. Other than that, I like the Jeep very much and have been enjoying driving it.
mook12 Posts: 60Hi guys, I need some feedback on whether it is a good price to buy at the end of the lease. I leased a 11 grand Cherokee limited with just about everything. Msrp was $44500 $1700 out of pocket includes all costs, tax, ect and my monthly is $509 36 months 12000miles yearly, so the buyout is $19700 after the lease the negotiated price was around $34000 minus the lease payments equaling the buyout price. Would anybody buy it for that price of $19700. Thanks
karrph Posts: 2i've never leased a car before so I'm looking for some guidance here. i came across several lease agencies offering a 2012 jeep laredo for about 350 for 36 mo including all fees/taxes and nothing down. i'm responsible for my 1st months payment. does this sound like a good deal? has anyone had any experience with lease agencies before? how are they able to offer a better deal than the dealers?
rscogs Posts: 4Just an FYI. I wasn't as knowledgable as I am now but I noticed that Ally is sort of hiding an expense and I'd like everyone to know. This happened to me with the 2011 JGC. To sum it up with whole numbers to make it understandable. My JGCLX was 36000. The residual ( How much worth afar 39 months ) is 19000. Between the adjusted cost and taxes and interest you can figure out the payment. The issue here is that they lower the residual to around 54%. You pay 17 out of 36k and they claim the vehicle is only worth 19k after 39 months which is low so you do more principle paying than you should. Then after that, on the bottom of the agreement is that at the end of the lease, the purchase price is 21,500k. That's not the price of the residual. If you buy it you will pay 2500 more than what it's worth and what you should owe. Who will do that? So YOU pay 2500 extra than what is probably the REAL residual. The bank sells it to the dealership for more than 1900. They make money, then the dealership sells it. Total scam. If you want my JGCLX for the next 27 months. 409 per mnth. Take it from me not them. NYC. I wonder if the dealership pays taxes on the purchase from the bank? I bet not!

After installing your security software, update it, and then run full scans today with each program. Report back the results of the scans. And no, Sandboxie is not adequate security...

The Business of Law
Course Number:
750 This course is designed to provide students with information and resources relating to the practical aspects of beginning a law practice. It is targeted towards students who are considering opening their own law practice either as a solo practitioner or with others. It complements, but should not overlap, the offerings in the current Law Office Practice and Management. As contemplated, the course does not include a doctrinal law component, although some aspects of doctrinal law in relevant areas (e.g. information and material on considerations attendant to leasing office space would likely touch on various substantive law aspects of landlord-tenant law and obligations etc) would be incorporated into the course modules.

Although I have been working on my family history since 1972, I learned that I have really only been skimming through the records and I have the "Cliff Notes" version. I plan to start over with myself as described today to verify resources and otherwise make sure I have a correct and truthful genealogy. This Retreat was wonderful! I could have gone on for at least 3 more days! I learned there are so many resources I have been completely unaware of! The city tour was very informative. I loved finding out from you the order we should do our research in. Who knew research could be efficient! Thank you so very much--
This has been an amazing experience. It has turned my research ideas upside down. Looking for families makes so much more sense than looking for individuals. Realizing that I need to find all the evidence available to be positive that I have the right person. Plus I have learned so many new sources and websites. I can't wait to get started again. Thank you soooo much!
First and foremost, thank you for a wonderful exposure to the many facets of genealogy. I really felt emersed in the many activities that took place. I'm hoping to be able to attend another conference "down the road."

Townhall: Obama Can't Avoid Fabled Ovoid Crack-up
The biggest story of the week is turning into the biggest story of the month, the year, perhaps the decade. The much-heralded, much-despised "Obamacare" reform has had a great fall. What are the chances for the king's henchmen to put it back, intact, on the wall? Not high, not at all.
Click on over to Townhall, then back here, for a bit more reading.
Chiefly, you may want to look up the Wikipedia entry on Humpty Dumpty. Did you catch yesterday's posted (linked) Obamacare video?
The folks at Reason magazine have been doing a good job keeping up with the latest in Obamacare stories — and yes, those stories are getting bizarre.

Point me in the right direction...
Hello All! things seem to have changed since I got on here last. I'm looking for the thread(s) that have the cool autograph cards on them. I downloaded some last year for my niece when we went last summer. My DH just decided to go back this August instead of going to San Antonio. :cool1: Which is a shocker coming from someone who doesn't get "hyped up" about disney. :goodvibes
I know that there are a few characters that we can get autographs for now that we didn't have cards for on our last trip. I wanted to print them out for her so that she could have them. I think I may need a few more blank ones as well. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction. |

Portulaca? Evening primrose (Oenothera species) Are you looking for perennial, evergreen or what? |
I'm looking for perennial, evergreen, anything............. I have ALOT of gravel area that butts up to large rocks. Currently a few stray weeds grow there. I would like to find things to take over. This year i planted some sedum - deep red - may be called dragon's blood. It has been extremely dry - not doing real great. Maybe will come in next year better - it was from bare root this spring. Might just be getting situated :) thanks for any help. By the way - definitely needs to be a perennial or an annual that reseeds easily. |
Hey, my situation sounds similar to yours. I was thinking about ice plant... |
Here is a link that might be useful: ice plant

So is this and area with gravel spread over your native soil? Most plants that grow in gravel still need enough underlying soil to send their roots down into. In the front of our house we have a 6 foot section of road base (no sidewalks where I live). Several plants have seeded themselves in this area, mainly where the rain waters collect. I suspect that if I actually tried to grow a couple of other plants here and watered the area they would do well also. The plants that have seeded themselves here are as follows: Anacyclus depressus, Cerastium tomentosum, Saponaria ocymoides, Centranthus ruber, Aubretia, Festuca glauca & a Penstemon hybrid. There are several other plants that I can think of that would work, given they had enough underlying soil and occasional watering. The annual portulaca reseeds and returns reliably for me in zone 5, its one of my favorites. Also, ice plants - Delosperma and D. nubigenum. You might also check out other South African succulents like aloinopsis, chasmatophylum and rabia. Continuing on, wooly thyme, cotula, maybe Melampodium leucanthum and perhas some of the low growing veronicas. Other plants that I suspect would love this type of area but may be larger than you want are Mirabilis multiflora(reseeds in my gravel pathways) and Abronia fragrans. The Abronia has a lovely scent when it blooms during the evening. There is also an Abronia nana that is about 1/3 the size of A. fragrans that is nice as well. Hope this helps some. |
anacyclus depressus-no common name I know of. I got mine mail order and planted it along a gravel driveway in full, hot, dry Nevada sun, unimproved, hard, near lifeless soil and it has spread and colonized beautifully. Claims to be hardy to zone 5. Catalog says it blooms in early spring..mine bloomed in early spring, mid, late, into summer, paused when temps hit 100+ and has now resumed sporadic blooming. |

There seem to be a LOT of kitchen supplies made of bamboo these days, holders for all manner of utensils. I've looked around the web for info on the glues used to see if they're loaded with formaldehyde or other voc's and cannot find anything. Would anyone here have any knowledge on the subject? |

Hi sjerin, Not sure how helpful this will be, but you may want to research the chemicals used in those really soft bamboo blankets. I know there's info online about that, and maybe it'll lead you to some info on the cooking utensils. |
Thanks for the heads-up, Madeline. Why is it so difficult to find the answer?? I'm afraid I'm pretty cynical these days about substances used in manufacturing as it seems that until there is a problem proven, anything goes. (Bpa in plastic ware.) |

Why are investment managers measuring themselves against average (= an index)? Looking for an excuse to be not that bad than average when stock markets go down? Or an easy win to be slightly above average when markets go up?
Measuring against average is a poor measurement of performance, but at least it's a measurement.
I have met with Rob Arnott and discussed his approach to indexing. RAFI is definitely an interesting product but it also bears an inherent contradiction. A regular cap-weighted index like the S&P500 represents the collective expectations of all investors. By choosing to re-weight the index, you are basically saying those expectations are wrong, i.e. the market is inefficient. But if you believe the market is inefficient, you don't index; you invest with a fully active manager that incorporates more than 5 factors into his stock picks. So RAFI is kind of a half-way product. Active management on auto-pilot, if you will. Their fees are half way between active and index funds as well. In the end, it's just another flavor on the investment menu.
RAFI's approach is interesting and benefits from taking price out of the portfolio construction process. That immediately gives it a head start. After all, no one goes shopping for vegetables based on unit price or they would end up with a lot more asparagus than potatoes.
An alternative method of weighting is used by our Munro fund in the UK. It uses each company's projected share of the total dividend pot to determine how much of each stock to hold. This gives it a value tilt.
Moreover, by using forecast data it is able to incorporate new issues like Glencore. RAFI's requirement for five years of historic data will give it a higher tracking error by not including new issues.
Some people prefer the certainty of historic data to the vagueness of forecasts. However, anyone looking at the RBS or HBOS accounts for 2007 might query their accuracy.
As James Surowiecki revealed in his book "The Wisdom of Crowds" the best way to forecast an unknown, like corporate earnings, is to ask a group of experts, i.e stock market analysts. While not perfect it is arguably better to be roughly right about the future than precisley wrong about the past.

Making people pay a lot more is precisely what Lieberman and other pols want. He cites studies showing that when people have to pay more for their care, they will use less of it, and claims his proposal will reduce the debt and "save more than $600 billion over 10 years." In his press release he says: "We can only save Medicare if we change it. Our plan contains some strong medicine but that's what it will take to keep Medicare alive."
What will it take to keep seniors alive? That's a good question for the press to explore. Half have annual incomes under $22,000, and the median income for older women on Social Security is only about $15,000. A recent RAND study, also missed by the press, found consumers with high-deductible insurance and lots of cost sharing did economize on going to the doctor even for preventive care covered by their policies.
"This has a perverse effect," says Burns. "The older you are the more likely you'll pay those high out-of-pocket expenses. They would hit women the hardest and shift more of them into Medicaid." Given that states are having trouble paying for Medicaid and there's talk of cutting the feds' contribution through block grants, it's fair to ask how will these women pay for their care. It's also fair to ask how they will pay for it if proposed changes in Social Security's cost-of-living formula now discussed as part of the deficit reduction package, become law. COLA changes are likely to result in smaller increases for many. Folks, this is really about the kitchen table connection.
