lexlan Posts: 10Bought my first Buick this am - new 2013 Leather w chrome wheels, moonroof, and navigation for $43500 out the door. Shopped Pilot, new Pthfinder and Acadia but none compared to Enclave. Pilot and Pathfinder both felt cheap and boxy, no style. Buick reallly is a step apart in crossover world. The 4 year 50k bumper to bumper was a nice bonus too. Very smooth ride , it's heavy so the drive is not sporty but it is tight and responsive. Good transition from my 06 Yukon. Looking forward to beating 12 mpg too.
jotiii Posts: 4about to pull trigger on '13 Enclave - AWD -Premium-Sunroof- Nav. what are dealers offering as incentives now? we are considering buying if 0% financing available but also may lease. If lease where can I find GM/Buick residuals, money factor, buy up mileage costs, etc. live in So Cal. Thank You!!

lexlan Posts: 10You may also want to look at conventional financing and take the extra $1500 rebate from GM. The finance manager actually pointed that out to me and I saved $10 per month in payment by financing at 2.9% vs. 0/0. It only makes sense if you are financing less than half the cost of the car but i was trading in, so it worked for me. My wife loves the car though.
yash Posts: 10yeap...age old minivan v/s SUV question with specific models though...
Have you guys compared 2013 Toyota Sienna XLE w/ Entune V/S 2013 Buick Enclave Leather group w/navi? what are your thoughts and winning/losing points for each cars?
The price for the Buick is almost $10k steeper which itself is a factor to me, honestly. However, the inside quality of materials and outside looks of the Buick is pretty slick too.
I test drove Sienna and odyssey and frankly didnt like either. So i am grudgingly looking at SUV (Buick and Infinity Jx) but not sure about anything anymore. I havent yet test drove the Buick yet (or the even more expensive Infinity yet).
~confused! -
coachhat Posts: 1I'm currently looking at Enclave Premium-Nav-Moon roof-DVD, chrome wheels. We have shopped the same type of cars as you with same options as the Enclave. We are trading in 05 Expedition 115K. I have a quote for a '13 Enclave (including trade-in and discounts) for 36,000. Still have 6% sales tax to deal with in AR. Do you think it is a fair deal?
jotiii Posts: 4tough to say as you are including the net price with your trade in. I bought ours monday paid about $2350 under invoice for Diamond white/ cocoa - Prem, AWD, sunroof, NAV/DVD, trailer tow, 20" rims, cargo pkg , assist steps and roof rails. only 3 of these in entire state of Cal., being shipped to my dealer now . think we got a smokin deal. wifey happy
davidandkath Posts: 1Hi there, I am new to this forum and I am not sure if this particular one is only for those purchasing brand new?? But we are looking to purchase a used 2009 Enclave CXL AWD fully loaded with all options for $22,000. It has 86,000 miles so that is the only down side, but i am hoping to see if you all think that is a good deal?? I have been trying to read and find out if there are any foreseen problems we can expect with those kind of miles, but most people having problems seem to have been having them prior to the higher miles. The carfax on this one is very clean and was always in for scheduled maint and no major repairs or problems.
what do you all think??
thanks so much for any tips or advice!

meridian3 Posts: 4An odd comparison but seating wise, they are close. The Enclave has a smoother ride but the Sienna is much bigger inside and would have a higher re-sale value. Consider the side sliding doors in tight parking spaces if you have kids. They both look nice inside depending on the level of trim but the Buick still looks like a Buick, the official brand of the AARP. For a minivan the Sienna sport edition comes with cool rims and ground effects. If you're bent on a crossover SUV go for the Lincoln MKT, the Buick and the Linc both have fugly grills but at least you'll have a Lincoln for almost the same cash. JMHO

SAN LEANDRO, Calif. — When the mortgage crisis hit more than four years ago and the Northern California economy as a whole went south, one of the first items that consumers cut back on was dining out.
As a result, produce businesses that served that sector of the foodservice industry suffered.
But many have been able to make up for the losses by expanding their institutional foodservice business.
Bay Cities Produce Co. has done just that. The firm has an edge over many other suppliers who offer just whole produce, said Steve Del Masso, vice president.
In addition to a full line of conventional and organic product, Bay Cities Produce also can offer processed and custom-cut items, he said.
The firm has close ties to a food microbiologist and a stainless steel processing facility that is compliant with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points standards.
Universities use the operation as a teaching facility to show students how things should be done, he said.
"What's really kept us going is our in-house processing," Del Masso said.
In the past, when schools issued requests for bids, the winners frequently were companies that submitted the lowest prices.
But Del Masso said that has changed with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's new school lunch requirements.
"Now they're very food safety oriented and they have needs for very special, custom-designed salads to meet their nutritional needs," he said.
"It's really helped out. Where restaurants have dropped off, schools have come back."
"Often, the school lunch is the only square meal a child may eat during the day. Exposing him or her to new vegetables and fruits can't help but benefit the entire produce industry," Del Masso said.
"The kids come home and finally have tasted a pluot, and the kids are driving most of this," he said. "It's introducing them to fruits and vegetables."
Many hospitals also have changed the way they purchase produce, Del Masso said.
Bay Cities Produce actually lost a large hospital client to a lower-priced bidder.
But the client returned a few months later, and Del Masso said he'd like to think it was because of Bay Cities Produce's food safety program and custom-cut produce service.
Even with the downturn, the San Francisco Bay Area is still a gourmand's playground with numerous award-winning restaurants. It's also the birth place of the farm-to-table ― or locavore ― movement, all of which bode well for Greenleaf Produce, based in the San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market.

Better or worse off?
It's been said the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give it to the other. This truth epitomizes Obama's socialistic plan to "redistribute" the wealth!
Obama blames his failure on President Bush's policies (Giving tax cuts to the rich). Now, if those tax cuts were so bad, then why on earth did Obama "extend those Bush Tax Cuts" in 2010?
Did Obama ignore his 'rich-hating base' and remember what worked for J.F.K. and Ronald Reagan whose tax cutting policies gave us a great economy?
Folks, we don't have a tax problem of being undertaxed, rather over taxed. Our problem is one of senseless borrowing and spending.
Here's a hard and fast truth: more burdensome taxes would only give the government more money to "spend" on pet projects with nothing going to pay on our 16 trillion dollar debt! By the way, Obama is responsible for 6 trillion of that!
Obama's 'promised' reason for the 787 billion dollar stimulus was that the unemployment rate would be under 8 percent — it's closer to 12% with 23 million jobless. The median household income has also dropped by $4,000! Gas prices have doubled under Obama's watch and food prices have soared, not to mention healthcost and higher premiums.
When Mike Wallace asked David Axelrod if we are better off today than we were 4 years ago, he squirmed and blinked like a frightened lizard in a hail storm and deliberately lied as all the liberal media are doing, of course, should the liberals, especially the liberal media T.V. networks, dare admit we're worse off today than prior to Obama, that would also be an admission for his replacement.
The only way to remotely understand why liberal democrats stubbornly refuse to admit we're worse off now than we were 4 years ago is to accept the wisdom of the words of Benjamin Franklin: "Convince a man against his will, and he's of the same opinion still!"
Fact: California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania and virtually all other states with democrat governors are bankrupt. Conversely, Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Utah, New Jersey and most all other states with republican governors have balanced budgets and surpluses! Why?
Governor Romney took a huge deficit in Massachuetts and turned it into a surplus with a billion dollar rainy day fund, and led their educational rating to number one in the nation!
Obama has the lame-stream media in the tank for him, especially MSNBC with his worshipful hacks, Chris Matthews, Ed Shultz, Rachael Maddow and CNN Hack Soledad O'Brien. They are a disgrace to the profession of journalism; MSNBC is, in actuality, B.S. NBC!
Remember, Obama said if he didn't turn the economy around in 4 years he'd be a one term president. Join me in obliging him!
You're welcome!

Wake Up On Time pillsTrust us, we were skeptical. But after swallowing two Wake Up on Time pills at 11 P.M., we found it much easier to get out of bed seven hours later. Created by a sleep-deprived single mother, the pills contain an energizing blend of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins B6 and B12 and guarana-seed extract. It's formulated with a coating that releases ingredients into your bloodstream toward the end of your last sleep cycle, so you wake up feeling clear-headed, not fuzzy.

Does anyone have a rough idea of the storage life of Raisins and other store bought "Dried" Fruits? COSTCO has great prices on this stuff but if it doesn't store then I'll back off. Thanks!

Raisins are dried but not dehydrated. I'd guess they'll last a year maybe as they are, longer in the fridge. If you were to vacuum seal them in jars or bags or freeze them I imagine they would last indefinitely.
[]]]]]]]]]]]]\> "----)_'_\--( "--------\--\ "---------\_/
You think they will last that long vaccum sealed?
I do, but it's a guess really. We have a food saver and I sealed up some fish when we first got it and froze it. I gave a pack to a co-worker about 6 years later. He tried it and said it tasted like it was caught that day, no lie. I've sealed nuts, dry beans and rice, etc. etc. etc. It's amazing how well vacuum sealing works. They even have lids for mason jars that allow sealing things inside he jar. I used to do that with bacon and sausage after cooking a bunch of it, it never lasted longer than a week(I ate it all) but it stayed super fresh all week.
Storage life of just about anything is tied to the temperature and atmosphere it is in. https://www.usaemergencysupply.com/information_center/storage_life_of_foods.htm
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Looks like I'll be making a trip to Costco for a food saver...... and some dried fruit.... Thanks

Spent some interesting time Saturday viewing the "Mummies of the World" exhibition at Discovery Place in downtown Charlotte, NC.
This is billed as the largest exhibition of "ancient mummies and related artifacts ever assembled which includes mummies and important artifacts from Asia, Oceania, South America, Europe as well as ancient Egypt, dating back as far as 6,500 years. "
Of course no photography allowed in the exhibition but I did have my iPhone camera as we walked for lunch…the Bank of America building behind a silhouetted tree.

Off and on the Field
Henry Leveson-Gower
Stanley Paul
1.5 stars
By David Mutton
07 Apr 2013
According to the blurb at the front of Off and On the Field, "the name of 'Shrimp' Leveson Gower is a household word among cricketers the world over." Sixty years after its publication, Leveson Gower's name is obscure and his aristocratic brand of cricket administration feels many lifetimes removed from today's hyper-commercial world of television deals, streaming rights and international freelance players.
Leveson Gower's memoir plods along, apparently like the man himself, amiably enough but without any substance. We learn about a conventional upper-middle class upbringing at Winchester and Magdalen College, Oxford, although I had considerable sympathy for his mother, who gave birth to twenty-one children (she even proclaimed it was "almost two elevens"), followed by a jolly life as an amateur cricketer and then equally cheerful days as a selector and administrator. Strife never appears in
Off and On the Field
. Not even the Great War can get in the way, mentioned only in passing and as a backdrop to the death of W.G. Grace.
It is hard to understand why Leveson Gower put pen to paper and by the book's halfway point he ran out of material. Three whole chapters are devoted to cricketers' birthdays, while chapters such as "Golf Stories" and "A Gibralter Visit" are mere padding to fill out space.
The frustrating thing is that Leveson Gower was at the forefront of English cricket for fifty years. He was, for example, a selector in 1909 when Wisden wrote that "never in the history of Test Matches in England has there been such blundering" in choosing an eleven. Yet there are no justifications or apologies because Leveson Gower simply ignored anything even remotely controversial. The only hint of negativity is his description of Lord Harris as "in a nice sense, a dictator", and even that is leavened by a page of praise to his Lordship ranging from his service to Kent to the concise notes at MCC meetings.
I felt compelled to award Leveson Gower half a star if only for the inclusion of a delightful ditty composed at his expense. His name created a great deal of confusion during a tour of the USA, not least because its pronunciation and spelling shared only a passing similarity. One wag wrote about Leveson Gower's partnership with Gilbert Jessop:
At one end stocky Jessop frowned,
The human catapult
Who wrecks the roofs of distant towns
When set in his assault.
His mate was that perplexing man
We know as "Looshun-Gore",
It isn't spelt at all that way,
We don't know what it's for.
But as with Cholmondeley and St. John
The alphabet is mixed,
And Yankees cannot help but ask -
"Why don't you get it fixed?"
Any book that includes such a poem can't be entirely bad.

When flying into McCarran International Airport - Las Vegas, you hardly notice the slot machines and video poker on your arrival, its rush to get your luggage and on to your hotel.
It's the leaving, that usually attracts your attention to the Slots.
With the FAA requesting passengers to arrive two hours before departure, you usually end up with some time on your hands. So .. that's when the thinking takes over … perhaps "one last shot" at a jackpot wouldn't hurt …. I'll try 10 or 20 dollars.
But .. who is behind those machines … does Michael Gaughan, casino owner … sound familiar. (new owner of the South Coast and gaming mogul from the Coast/Boyd Group) He held the concession for more than 20 years, winning the bid in 1985 and was automatically renewed 5 times due to the on-going airport expansions where the bid process was waved.
However, his contract is coming up for renewal in 2008, and the Clark County officials have hired a consulting firm to look at the bidding process … with the intent of again accepting bids for this operation
The kicker is …those 1,300 plus slot machines earned the airport … a lion's share of 63 percent of the net revenues. The airport made almost $40 million in slot revenues this past fiscal year.
Next time you are at the airport and putting money in the slot machine or video poker … for a last chance of hitting a decent Jackpot … it's the Las Vegas McCarran International Airport who Thanks You.
Perhaps a airport mini- casino with a Crap table or a BJ table might make time go by faster, but in the meantime you can only watch your money fly .. bye-bye at the SLOTS.

My house is new, but in the bathroom between the ceiling and the wall above the bathtub/shower a small crack is forming. Is there a good and easy way to fix it before it gets worse? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wait till the house is at least a year old to fix minor cracks. The most likely cause is the framing drying out (and shrinking) in the now conditioned space of the house. |

You can retape. This would involve removing the old tape or taping over the top. I would recommend a high strength tape as discussed in the link below. I appears you have some sort of structural stress, assuming the joint is taped. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Retaping Drywall With High Strength Tape
If you fix it before about 12 months be ready to fix it again. |

Companies using social media are making more money, says McKinsey
Interesting research from McKinsey suggests that companies using social media or "collaborative Web 2.0 technologies" are achieving higher profits.
This will clearly not come as a surprise to some, but this basically makes the case for ROI and social media. It seems to show that companies that are starting to do it well are being rewarded for their efforts. More than that, it says those that fail to implement social media could be making a "critical mistake". Read More

Mexico's government realizes it's crucial to establish competitive contract terms and effective, transparent regulations to attract international investors as Mexico implements its pending energy reforms, panelists told a Houston gathering on Feb. 7.
Lourdes Melgar, the new undersecretary of hydrocarbons for the Mexican Ministry of Energy, spoke to a seminar hosted by the University of Texas at Austin and the Atlantic Council in Houston on the day after she was named to her current post. Previously, she was undersecretary of electricity.
On Dec. 21, 2013, Mexico's sweeping energy reform became law, representing a major overhaul of Mexico's oil, gas, and electric industries.
Secondary legislation will stipulate contract logistics and tax reforms as Mexico ends the state-owned monopolies of oil company Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) and electric company Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE). Secondary legislation is being drafted and discussed now.
Reforms pending
Having worked on the Mexican government's energy reform team, Melgar noted that energy reform has been discussed for years in her country. She has held various positions in Mexico's Foreign Service, including design work on international oil market strategy.
"It's important to Mexico's people to make sure we have financial transparency in every contract and bidding round," Melgar said. Secondary legislation will outline the basics for the types of oil and gas exploration and production contracts, which will be flexible, she said.
Companies outside Pemex are to be allowed to participate in exploration and production activities, breaking the decades-old Pemex monopoly. The reforms also will allow direct private investment in Mexico's midstream and downstream.
Melgar said Mexico expects to keep service contracts and to add profit-sharing contracts, production-sharing contracts, licenses, as well as enable a combination of various types of contracts. She told OGJ that it's too early to know any contract specifics, and that contracts will vary widely.
"All hydrocarbons in the subsoil belong to Mexico," Melgar said, confirming that energy reforms will enable companies outside Pemex to report oil and gas reserves on their accounting statements. "We want secondary laws that support the model the government has developed."
Deadlines established
Mexico's Congress has a deadline to approve these secondary laws by the end of April, she said, and the schedule calls for oil and gas bidding rounds to start around June 2015. Contract terms will be drafted carefully "to really attract the type of companies that we need," in Mexico, she said.
Another speaker on the Feb. 7 Houston panel said Mexico could become a major oil supplier by 2022 if implementation of its energy reforms prove successful.
David Goldwyn, president of Goldwyn Global Strategies LLC and a former US State Department coordinator for international energy affairs, called Mexico's energy reform "good timing for the rest of the world."
Long-term opportunities for outside oil and gas companies in Mexico will involve the development of deepwater and unconventional gas plays, he said. For the near term, enhanced oil recovery technology and seismic analysis will be needed, he added.
Peter Schechter, director of the Adrienne Arsht Latin American Center at the Atlantic Council, said Latin America abounds with energy news although he noted, "No energy story in Latin America is more important than the Mexico story."
US lawmakers in Washington, DC, closely are watching Mexico's unfolding energy reform, he noted.
"Mexico is going to strengthen a North American energy market," which means less reliance on Middle Eastern crude oil supplies, Schechter said. He noted that security concerns remain for outside investors.
Melgar acknowledged the security concerns, saying that her government is working to resolve these issues and also working to reassure potential international investors. "Security is an issue in some specific parts of the country," she said.
"We expect these reforms to result in an increase of 1% to GDP by 2018," Melgar told reporters in a news conference after the panel discussion. She said she was reluctant to discuss specific amounts yet, adding that Mexico's economy is not equivalent to the US economy, making comparisons difficult.
Melgar said renewable energy will also be a priority for Mexico in the future.
Mexico seeks to reduce carbon emissions by 20% by 2020 and by 30% by 2050. Mexico also set a goal to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels to 65% by 2024, down from about 85% currently. Melgar noted that Mexico last year established a regime for trading carbon credits.
Separately from the panel discussion, Fitch Ratings issued a statement calling Mexico's energy reform "a long-term positive" for Mexico and Pemex credit quality.
"Fitch does not expect Pemex's ratings to change due to the energy reform, but the company will benefit from the ability to find partners to share exploration risks and budgetary independence," said Lucas Aristizabal of Fitch.

Mad Men contains many guilty pleasures.
For men, it evokes a simpler time (ahem), when men were men and women fetched them coffee, if not whisky, at their desks.
For women, it's the period outfits and big slices of Jon Hamm.
Part of the fun, of course, is the taken-for-granted level of sexism that forms the background of the show, and whether Peggy and the other female characters can rise above it. Who didn't groan inwardly when Don Draper ditched the entrepreneurial go-getter Faye in favor of his secretary, Megan?
In real life, Madison Avenue worked hard to perpetuate stereotypes about women. It was David Ogilvy, after all, who said, "The consumer is not a moron, she is your wife."
Here are some of the advertising's lowest blows when it comes to women.

The New Neutral Palette to Get Excited About
Eye shadow palettes full of bright and fun colors have always been alluring, but as Urban Decay's fast-selling Naked3 recently proved, neutrals now hold that power too—and perhaps even more so. Though arguably not as eye-catching, they're a smarter investment. Neutral palettes don't contain out-there shades that will go untouched. They can be used to create looks that are work-, weekend- or nighttime-appropriate—plus, they're seasonless and trend-proof.
In short, we're big fans. So we were obviously psyched when we heard about the launch of another amazing neutral palette to obsess over: MAC's Eye Shadow X 15. The set, available in warm neutral or cool neutral, contains a combination of 15 shades in a wide variety of finishes. Coming in at $100, the price tag may seem steep, but when you do the math, you'll find the product is actually worth a whole lot more. Head to MACcosmetics.com or your local MAC store to shop it now!

Today is Teacher Appreciation Day, a day for Chipotle to
give out free burritos and for little children to bring in fistfuls of tulips
to their favorite teachers. Not a bad
sentiment really, (although I apologize to my offsprings' mentors since we did
not remember the tulips or burritos on this hurried Tuesday morning.)
Today, however, I think it is a good day to appreciate BEING
a teacher. This often-debated job is a great way to make a living….and a life.
I always say that teaching is a game of moments. In the past
eighteen years, there have definitely been moments that have brought me to my
knees, stolen my breath, made me laugh, cry and feel. There have been moments when I was positive
that this was the exact WRONG job for me, and moments when this career could
not be more right. I have seen things that I wish their parents could: a moment
of discovery, a smile of pride, an act of friendship. And I have seen countless
moments that the students never thought I thought I noticed: the most
heart-warming kindnesses, and the most heinous of bullying.
I am humbled to think that around 1200 students have sat in
the desks in front of me over these many years. They have all left a piece of
themselves behind. I remember Chris's metaphor that blew me away: "The football
field is an angry boy's heaven." Or the way I hugged Bridget as she sobbed
about her grandma. I can remember Geoff's poetry analysis of William Carlos
Williams like it was yesterday, although 17 years have passed since he last left
my class. Or the way Amanda gave a fantastic speech about a serious illness
that had changed her life.
Through nearly two decades, I hope that I have shared my
love of communicating, that they all know where to place the commas and how to
write with imagery. I hope they can find a metaphor in a story, and always
remember to get the work done first before they play.
But I don't think they understand how I love them. How I
pray for these students past and present and what will happen to them. How I
hope that the lessons and discipline I have tried to instill will ripple when
they leave my class. How I wish for them a job that offers moments like they
have offered me: the beautiful glimpses of life and discovery that leave you
with goosebumps and tears. And the knowledge that they are working towards something
greater than themselves. And I even wish them the hard stuff too, which makes
the good moments that much sweeter.
I am still in awe of the paths these students have taken. Joe
is doing art gallery showings in San Francisco, and Maggie is choreographing
musical theatre in Chicago. Bryan is a busines man in Columbus, and Emily is
studying architecture in New York City. Bridget is returning home to find a
kindergarten teaching job, and Kyle is serving our country in Afghanistan. So
many choices and paths and moments, makes me appreciate our cosmic intersection
in time.
So yes, I appreciate teaching. I appreciate the learners
that have graced these desks, and the lessons they have revealed to me. I
appreciate the words they have written and the trust they have shown me. I
admire their moxy and the energetic lenses through which they see the world. A
burrito or tulip won't be enough to say it today, but I am thankful for all of
them and all of the moments we have shared.

How Jesus Celebrated Passover: Some Early Modern Readings of the Last Supper
Anthony Grafton, Seminar in Cultural History
September 7, 2011
Anthony Grafton, Professor of History and the Humanities at Princeton, discusses "How Jesus Celebrated Passover: Some Early Modern Readings of the Last Supper," as part of the Seminar in Cultural History series at the Bard Graduate Center in New York City. Grafton discusses how antiquaries and church historians, theologians and chronologers competed and collaborated to imagine Jesus as a Jew. In this case as in many others, the effort to understand a few lines of the Scriptures in a new way had massive intellectual consequences.

Island Girl: 'Somehow my husband has ended up in jail'
Editor's note: Part 1 of "Island Girl" ran in the Crosscut Blog on Monday.
For 21 hours, my husband was held in the county jail in a town 39 miles and several land masses away. He was not permitted to call his new employer and explain why he hadn't showed up at work.
At the exam and cavity search performed upon his arrival, J's blood pressure was 170/110. He explained that he had severe hypertension and needed daily medication. The jailer assured J that a medic would visit his cell within the hour to re-check his BP and give him a dose of Caduet. Neither of these things happened. Apparently everything I learned about the rights of the accused from Law & Order was wrong.
The next day, J was served breakfast at 5 a.m. then hauled into "court." Several hours after his arraignment, once the paperwork had been processed, J was released with a bus pass and a check for the amount of cash ($10.83) that had been removed from his wallet. He was shoeless, because he'd kicked off his sandals just prior to the arrest but had not been allowed to go back for them. It took him six hours and three buses to make his way back home.
Of course, I knew none of this at the time. Because I was in a hotel — which kindly offered a discount to island residents: 105 bucks a night — so I wouldn't violate the restraining order the judge had put in place.
My son, a college student who had accompanied me out here to help with the driving and do a little sightseeing in Seattle, waited in our empty house. No TV, no stereo, no wifi. Just a copy of Catch-22 and a blanket on the floor. He didn't want his stepfather coming home from jail to no one, he said. So he sat, reading, while his 14-year-old sister and I camped out half a mile away.
She was bewildered. She'd only glimpsed J being led away in handcuffs as she and her brother — licking their after-dinner ice cream cones — walked up the hill. Now, she lay on a bed hugging the stuffed dog she's had since she was 8, watching movies on TNT and trying not to ask me questions. This was good, because I didn't have any answers. I had no idea what we were going to do.
The following morning, while she slept, I wrote a quick note on the inn's stationery: "Back soon. Love, Mom." Then I crept out and drove to a coffee shop where I ordered an Americano with five shots.
Thank God the place had wireless. I pulled out my laptop and checked my email but couldn't stand the thought of explaining this situation back home. So I started Googling: domestic violence law, men's rights, the ACLU. Then my reporter's instinct kicked in; I pulled up a list of the island's city council members and scrolled through the photos and names.
One guy had a particularly friendly face. And he'd been on the council for years. His phone number was listed right under the picture. It was 7:30 on a Wednesday morning, but I picked up my cell phone and dialed.
He answered in a damp, gravelly voice that indicated he might have been sleeping.
This is stupid, I told myself. He's going to hang up on you. But I took a breath and started to talk. Fast. "You're not going to believe this story," I said. "We're new to the island, I moved here three days ago, and somehow my husband has ended up in jail."
I told him about everything: the argument, the wine, the dusky night, the car that nearly hit me, J's bewildering arrest. Then the strange arraignment with J in his jumpsuit staring out from a white pull-down screen. The prosecutor, the no-contact order, our night in the island hotel. I finished with a ragged sound, certain I'd sounded like a lunatic. The police probably were gathering outside at this very moment, ready to snare me.

Former New York Mets pitcher Tom Seaver poses at his Diamond Mountain vineyard in Calistoga, California. Seaver's winery is expected to release its first bottles of wine in 2008.
CALISTOGA, Calif. — Dawn is breaking on what is expected to be another sunny, 100-degree day in the Napa Valley, as 61-year-old Tom Seaver, clad in blue denim, long-sleeved work clothes, a pair of clippers attached to his belt, strolls purposefully through rows of grape vines that extend some 500 feet up a gradual slope facing due south.
It is, says Seaver, about the most perfect piece of landscape a person could find on which to plant a vineyard.
"For me," Seaver says, "this is the best time of the day. I come out here every morning and get all my work done, all my cuttings, before it gets too hot. It's therapeutic. It's rewarding. Hell, it's exciting! You have no idea of the feeling from creating something like this."
To see the "little boy" joy in Seaver's face as he takes his visitors on a tour of the vineyard he personally carved out of 115 acres of dense brush, redwoods and Douglas firs, on a mountaintop that overlooks the entire Napa Valley, is to understand why he has all but divorced himself from baseball, his life's work for nearly 40 years as a 311-win pitcher who still has the highest plurality for election to the Hall of Fame, and then as a broadcaster for the Yankees and Mets. Growing grapes and making wine on Diamond Mountain is a whole new passion that certainly comes close to equaling anything he accomplished in baseball.
"When I was 28 years old and coming into the prime of my baseball career, my brother-in-law said to me one day, 'What are you gonna do when you're done?' I said to him without hardly any thought, 'I'm going to go back to California and raise grapes.' I never forgot that."
And then, eight years ago, Seaver and his wife, Nancy, enlisted the services of a real-estate agent in Napa with one simple instruction: find a piece of property where Seaver could plant a vineyard. They toured all over the area until they came across the heavily wooded Diamond Mountain property, which offered a magnificent view of the valley and beyond that, pure wilderness.
"It was the classic case of needing to see the forest through the trees," Seaver says. "I went hacking and slashing my way through all these trees and brush and had my vision. I could see where I was going to build my house and then, on a later trip, I came across this south-facing slope and I got this rush. Through all my studies of vineyards and winemaking, I knew that the best grapes came from southern exposures."
By then, Seaver had already decided to sell his home in Greenwich, Conn., where he'd lived for most of his baseball career, and take up roots on Diamond Mountain. He had also begun asking around about finding a vineyard manager and, through ex-Mets teammate Rusty Staub, the founding father of wine aficionados in baseball who has attained legendary status with the California wine industry, Seaver was introduced to Jim Barbour, who manages 20 vineyards in the Napa area.
"As I was interviewing Jim, I didn't realize that, in effect, he was interviewing me to see which direction I was going in and how serious I was about this," Seaver says. "I said, 'I'm not doing this to get my picture in Wine Spectator — I've had enough publicity.' I'd bought the property and built the house, now I needed to know if I had enough money left to build the vineyard.
"It turned out Jim's a huge baseball fan and I took one of his bottles to the dinner we have at the Hall of Fame every year and had all the Hall of Famers sign it for him."
The real convincer for Barbour to build and manage Seaver's vineyard, however, was when he saw the property.
"As we pushed our way through all the trees and brush and came across the slope, Jim looked at me and said, 'How the hell did you find this? This is what people kill for around here,"' Seaver says, with a smile of satisfaction. "I shrugged and said, 'Sometimes you win, 7-6.' Obviously the guy I bought it from didn't know what he had here. I then told Jim how much I love Zinfandel and that I wanted to grow Zin grapes and he said to me, 'On Diamond Mountain, with his piece of property, you don't plant Zin. The only thing we're growing here are Cabernet [Sauvignon] grapes."'
Once the slope was cleared, the plants went in — 3,980 to be exact. As friends of Seaver joke, he had a name for every one of them.
"I'm sure Jim will attest, I'm the biggest pain ... of all the people he manages vineyards for," Seaver says. "I'm out here every day, observing, supervising and doing a lot of my own clipping and irrigating. This whole thing has been a learning process for me. It's like gardening, which has always been my hobby. I guess it's maybe indirectly inherent from when I was a kid growing up in Fresno. My father was in the raisin business there, although the business end of it.
"Anyway, when we had our first harvest last September, I felt this eerie silence around here. They were like family to me and now they were gone. It was kind of like my own postpartum depression."
Says Staub: "Seaver has tremendous soil, an excellent winemaker and the best sun in the valley with southern exposure, which is longer than the rest of the day. He's going to have excellent, excellent wine. I get a kick out of just watching his excitement."
Seaver's Cabernet will be stored for 20 to 22 months before it is bottled and readied for 2008 release. As he says proudly, no expense was spared to make this first vintage a home run.
"You start talking to people in restaurants about all this ... how every morning you walk through those rows of grapes, pruning them, cultivating them and then they end up here in these barrels ... as this wine that you created, and they look at you like you're crazy," Seaver says. "They just don't understand. You've got to be here and see this whole process."

Hi everyone, really hope I can get some advice here.
I'm not a US citizen but I was in the States for graduate study for 2 years and half more year working. I do have a SSN because I had several jobs in the States then.
I have a capital one card since early 2010 with a credit limit of $2500 (originally $2000 but got raised due to my sound payment history). I added a person (former roommate) as authorized user in 2011 because the person agreed to share payments (I did it as a favor). However, the person turned out to be a disaster and never paid the bills. I was responsible for all his payments then. I called in capital one to remove him from the account and I removed him from online banking - authorized user list. When I called in capital one, I asked the rep specifically if his card will be automatically invalid upon my request of removal and the rep told me yes, no worries. The rep never told me to request a new card (see later on the problems).
All the drama started since then. I left the States at the beginning of 2012 for a job opportunity overseas. I have three existing credit cards back then but I paid off all the balances knowing I won't be using the cards (I left thinking I will not come back to the US). In July 2012, I ordered a credit report from Equifax because I'm immigrating back to the States soon. It was then when I found out that the former roommate maxed out my three existing credit cards and opened six other accounts with my SSN. Everything has been resolved with the identity theft. The evidences are all in my favor - him applying for new cards and using existing credit cards (he can enter card info on his merchange gateway and run transactions without the actual cards. So while I still have possession of the three existing cards, he can do the transactions with the cards) right on the after the day I left, he on purpose mis-spelled his last name when he himself opened a second card, the transactions mainly for his own business, etc.
The two other existing credit cards have all cleared up my accounts due to fraud and the other six new ones either cleared up or waiting for me to file a police report so they can close the case. So it's all good BUT the capital one. I reported all transactions with capital one card after the day I left the country as fraud. However, the adjuster put the charges back saying that although I called in to remove him, I didn't retrieve his card, so I should be held responsible still even tho I removed him online and by calling in. It's absolutely insane in my eyes because I called in to capital one to remove him and it was capital one's rep then who didn't provide me with the right information (actually reassuring me that it's OK).
I really hope you can give me some advice here. I spoke with a different account specialist couple of days ago. She was very understanding and asked me to file a police report so they can reopen the case and also submit my evidence of leaving the country (visas, flight info) so they can know that all transactions after I left were not made by me. But she said let's HOPE a different adjustor with the police report will rule differently.
Any more advice guys?
You might need to find a lawyer...........
Thanks for your reply but I really don't wanna do that...
Well, evidences in my favor are:
1) I called in capital one and also removed the person online as well. Should I stress on this part and the fact that the rep told me the wrong information? I requested the phone recording but capital one adjustor said they cannot find it - I do have the right for the recording?
2) All fraud happened right after I left the country so I'm indeed not the person who used the card.
3) He also maxed out my two other credit cards and opened six new accounts (total >$20,000). And the rulings from all the eight companies are in my favor. The capital one occurred at the same time. So should be in my favor too?
I am sorry this happened to you i hope this is a lesson learned please don't ever add a authorize user or cosign for anyone. Are your capital one cards still open i hope the card is closed or at least inactive until the investigation is over. Have you communicated at all with your ex roommate?
Yes, I closed down all the accounts already.
I realized that I should be responsible for the payments for an authorized user when I actually have someone as authorized user. The issue is I removed him by calling in and online but the capital one rep told me the wrong information and didnt have me request a new card!
He is a very cunning person. He takes advantage of the fact I'm not US citizen so he figured I would have a big hassle coming back the States. However, I'm immigrating back next year. I emailed him about all the happenings and he admitted it. He didn't specify on all the accounts but he said that he's been in such a financial mess with his own life and business that he had to do so. He has no money or no intentions to pay. I know that he also has a business partner before that he owes more than $12,000 to. Basically, he cannot pay.

ok i c. honestly i hope capital one can resolve this for u be persistent but in all honesty you are responsible eventhough the capital one rep did not tell you to get a new card. I personally would try to go after his business i am not settling with he cannot pay and he has no money think about taking him to smalls claim court seriously.
do you work for capital one or other banks?
So you're saying even if the police step in for all the fraud (three existing cards and six new accounts) he committed, I will still need to settle capital one case separately in a small claims court?
OP, all you have to do is send in a copy of the police report showing the theft and it'll go away.
11-10-2012 12:13 PM - edited 11-10-2012 12:15 PM
In my opinion, the mistake began with giving an authorized user a card to use on the account.
In doing so, you give him use of the account with no legal obligation for the incurred debt.
I think it is a very questionable legal defense to assert fraud on his part for using the authorization he was given.
The issue of whether calls to the creditor closed or did not close his access to the account is a matter that needs to be worked out between you and the creditor, and if unresolved, then possibly a judge.
The issue of his opening other accounts in your name is quite a different matter. He fraudulently used your identity to open accounts not authorized by you.
The FCRA gives specific and powerful remedy for such identity theft. You just need to assert, not prove, the reported information is related to potential identity theft.
First, simply file a police report, and then mail a copy to the CRA, along with proof of your identity, and they MUST, under FCRA 605B, exclude the asserted identity theft information from your credit report. Credit reporting impact of those accounts thus gone.
Second, send a copy of the police report to the OC, and request under the provisions of FCRA 609(e), all of their internal business records pertaining to those accounts.
A powerful mini-discovery right without need for any court order. Armed with that information, you can then mount a factual basis for their CR deletion as inaccurate reporting of information under your name. In the interim, the 605B block has already barred inclusion in your credit report, so ultimate deletion from your credit file is not so pressing.

UR Medicine's Strong Memorial Hospital received approval from the New York State Department of Health to proceed with plans for an ambulatory surgical center at the former Lakeside Hospital in Brockport, which is now called Strong West.
A final review by the state's Bureau of Architecture and Engineering will take place over the next several weeks. Construction should begin in April and is expected to open later this year.
UR Medicine continues to work with department of health to gain approval for a full-service, free standing emergency department.
URMC purchased the former Lakeside Memorial Hospital after Lakeside closed its doors. Strong West consists of urgent care centers in Brockport and Spencerport; Orthopaedic, Cardiology, Neurology, Urology, Oncology and Primary Care practices; as well as lab and Imaging services that support Brockport-area physicians.

For a couple years now we have had the Chairman's Preferred link on our blog offering 40,000 miles on sign up. You were supposed to have Chairman status on US Airways to qualify but it was never really necessary.
Now Barclays is offering a 40,000 mile sign up bonus to everyone with their Premier World Mastercard and the ability to earn an up to an additional 10,000 miles with a balance transfer within the first 90 days of account opening. The balance transfer offer does nothing for me as they fee to transfer is prohibitive, BUT the 40K on signup is really worth two domestic round trips not just one. When you use the Barclays card to book your award tickets US Airways takes away 5000 miles from any award booking thereby reducing the round trip domestic award to 20K.
I love this 20K award and the added benefits of the card which include:
- One lounge pass first year
- Two $99 companion certs every year
- Double miles on US Airways flights and priority boarding
The annual fee is $89 but for two domestic tickets from a card issuer we don't often get to use, take a look at this one.

text: This work bridges three interests of mine: design, photography and theater. Poster designs concepts can come from any of those starting points, and usually end up including all three. Currently I have over 50 different posters for plays not yet written, and one of these days I need to write some of the plays to go with them.
