Comfort package
Luxury package
19" Wheels
Heads up display (shows $1200)
MSRP $50,504 is and an invoice $45,204.
hard ads
Price dealer wants over invoice with few 2011's at this moment (pushed this down from a higher figure)
half cost of the tow hitch install at the dealer. I could do this for 200 myself, but not worth the hassles to install a hitch
+1,399 dual DVD after market install. 7" with plenty of extras factory system does not have on # of inputs and programming for video games etc.
Total cost $46,900.50 -
lexus_envy Posts: 6There's a lot of talk of $8K below MSRP. Can anyone validate this? I'm searching for a left over 2010 with Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, iPod capabilities and heated front seats. Can anyone tell me if you can get a back-up camera without having to purchase the navigation package? It's difficult to find that answer on-line.
adenbx Posts: 4Can anyone tell me if you can get a back-up camera without having to purchase the navigation package? It's difficult to find that answer on-line.
I bought a 2010 w/o Nav but with backup camera. The backup diaplay is basically embedded in the rear view mirror. The total display is approximately 2 inches by 2 inches. -
sleepdragon Posts: 3I find truecar gave a pretty close price to the best available at least for here in sf bay area..
also, $8k off msrp is within range for 2010 rx350 w/ more options..but you can't expect same $8k off msrp for a base fwd or awd..basically, the more expensive the msrp is, the more discount you can get.. -
pschiffe Posts: 373I installed a VR3 aftermarket back-up camera on my 2007 RX350. It has a small screen apx. 1½" x 2", and while minimally satisfactory it is no match for the large screen OEM in-dash version which I now regret not getting. I drove a loaner with the large screen and it is far superior. No experience with the rear view mirror model but I presume it would be similar to my small screen. My 2¢.

rxfirst Posts: 1Purchased 2010 - AWD with navi, premium, comfort along tow prep package,cross bars, accessory package (cargonet, cargo mat, wheel locks) , wood and leather trimmed steering wheel and 12 speaker premium audio system for 39100 + tax + tags on 11/1/2010. But I was suppose to pick up the car next day because it was too late, when the deal was finalized. Next day the salesman calls me and says there is a dent on the passenger side door. It will take 2 days to fix it. He also said if I don't won't we can walkoff. But I said, I don't want to get the car I have purchased, please look for a similar kind a car with all the same options. So far they have given me one other option - everything will be the same expect 19 wheels without cross bars. Please let me know whether anyone had this kind a experience? Can I negotiate now with either of the cars?
sleepdragon Posts: 3$39100 is a great price. I assume you didn't get INTUITIVE PARKING ASSIST & 19" ALLOY WHEELS on the 1st car right?
19" ALLOY WHEELS listed for $660 which is more than the $259 listed price for the ROOF RACK
So if I were you, I would take the deal and just have ROOF RACK installed at later time -
dltl Posts: 5Hey guys. Thanks for all the great posts on this topic. I am in the midst of buying an SUV for my wife as we are expecting our first child. The RX350 is on top of her list and I was looking for a 2010 to get the best deal. Seems like the 10's are somewhat scarce and I'm getting pushed for an '11. However, I did find a used lease return, with the following specs:
2010 Lexus RX350 AWD
Premium - Nav - Comfort
It has roughly 7,000 miles on there, so it's used, but practically brand new. I've seen incentives of $7,000 - $8,000 off MSRP for 2010s, but I'm wondering what price I should be expecting for this slightly used model.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! -
coatie1 Posts: 6I bought it at Highland Park Lexus. Just a warning though, I was told by the Business Mgr,after the purchasemthat the 4 yr warranty was only good if you get maintence checks per their schedule at Lexus. This is probably [non-permissible content removed] but I dont know. Then they tell you you can prepay for all of them but can only do that right then and there
If you or anyone here knows the answer it woudl be nice if they would let everyone know -

newcarbuyer10 Posts: 5Purchased a 2010 RX 350, with Premium Package, Nav, Dual Entertainment, wood & leather trimmed steering wheel & Shift knob, Heated and ventilated seats, towing prep, 19'' alloy wheels, cross bars etc. in Florida.
The MSRP is $48874, Paid $40550 (includes dealer fees) + Tax. No trade-in.
Had a hard time finding 2010 with my preferred color as the inventory is very low at most dealers.
Thanks to everyone that contributed to this forum. This helped me a lot in negotiating. -

jackandjack73 Posts: 4Hello Friends,
I was looking for a 2010 2WD RX 350 with Premium package and Navigation. (Red exterior and Black interior). None of the dealers in Southern California could find the car. I think I am late in the game for 2010 model. Anyway, I was offered below $1,000 on a 2011 2WD RX350 with all my choices plus lot of extra's. Here are the codes for the options (CP, EK, FT, NV, PA, PM, TO, WU, 3T,C6, Z1, V4, V2).
The MSRP for the car is $48,633.
Invoice: $43,673
I was offered $42,673 plus TTL.
What you all think? Should I go for it? Please someone answer as I have to let them know tomorrow. -
jackandjack73 Posts: 4Thank you Pete. But someone of the forum members was getting 7K to 8K off of the sticker price of 2010 models. I was really hoping to do little better with 2011 model too. I do have another question for you Pete. When they show the invoice price, how dependable is that? I know they have another price which is "dealer cost". I am not sure if that is any relevant when negotiating the price. Also, should I wait till end of December for a better deal?
backintx Posts: 11Guys,
I see that a dealer in Texas (where I live) has the 2010 RX350 in the color that I want with the following packages: Comfort, Premium, Nav and Towing Prep. The MSRP is $47,385. What's the price I need to ask for? ( I'd rather not go into the dealership and haggle..). Also, anyone know if there is any good financing on the 2010's?
Any help from the group would be greatly aprpeciated!

jackandjack73 Posts: 4Hi All, just purchased our choice of car RX 350 FWD Red exterior with black interior as I discussed in my previous posting. The car has Premium, Navigation & Comfort package. It also has Parking Assistance, Towing Package, Remote start, and few other things.
The MSRP: - $48,633
Invoice: -$43,673 (I verified with Truecar, Costco, and Edmond – It's comparable)
Price paid:$ 42,473 (it was cash purchase), so it is about $6,161 off of MRSP.
Tax $3,721 $ title $587 = Total out the door was $46,863
Friends, how did I do? -
newcarbuyer10 Posts: 5Hello Sri,
Based on my experience, a good price for that vehicle is in $39k-$40k. While purchasing my 2010 RX 350, I initially consider a vehicle with configuration similar to yours (MSRP was ~47700) and the dealer was willing to sell it for 39800.
While negotiating for price, I found that lot of dealers that are not willing to come ~8K below MSRP. I ended up buying from J&M Lexus is South Florida, who is 250miles away from where I live.
BTW., I also got financing from Lexus for 2.84% APR, 60 months.

Three years ago my husband and I toured the Hobbiton movie set in Matamata, New Zealand. When I got home I posted a description here on the Cottage Garden forum. Despite pleas for pictures, I could not post any. I had signed an agreement that I would not post pictures. Now that the first movie is out and everyone has seen the set I can do so. In fact, even the Hobbiton tour site has pictures up now. While I took many photos of the fascinating hobbit holes and intriguing architectural features, it is the garden plants themselves that I will be posting here. The whole effect is casual, not that of groomed, tidy gardens, a mix of English country flowers and herbs with those well suited to warm climates, which that part of New Zealand is. I just loved it. Anyway, here goes! |

They have since opened the Green Dragon as an inn so I would love to go back. Maybe next time the heritage rose conference is in NZ I will be able to; I've never made it there yet. Time to start saving up. |
Looks like a fun place to tour! TFS |
Thanks for posting. We are huge Tolkien fans and thoroughly enjoyed the movies. When we were in NZ, there were so many tourists at Matamata that we skipped it. Of course, this was back in 2003, so they hadn't allowed the farmer to keep the set painted and looking like it did in the movies. Fun to see it. Love NZ and looking forward to returning some day before we get too old to hike around! |

How long does it take to read a sentence with X number of characters?
This is based purely on a completely unscientific approach of tweaking the numbers and having a script rotate through several different paragraphs of differing lengths. I read each one slowly enough to completely comprehend what i was reading and if it rotated through too fast, then i increased the timing, too slow, i decreased it until i found the sweet spot. But it would seem that the reading speed for me, at least, is not entirely linear as some paragraphs seemed far faster to read than others of similar lengths. |

Here is a sport for everyone. This activity offers to its enthusiasts the relaxation of the outdoors coupled with the excitement of speed and the unparalleled connection with an animal many times larger, stronger, and faster than the individual mounted on top.
The only judge involved is the clock. You won't find any style preferences, attitude, or subjective opinions here. Either you have the fastest time or you don't.
Barrel racing has been around for years. It has been a game event in numerous competitions for decades where men, women, and children have enjoyed displaying their expertise at top speed for all to see. Most often the first exposure to it comes from watching the Rodeos.
The cowboys introduced barrel racing into their list of events so their wives and girlfriends would have something to compete in at the Rodeos. However, throughout the rest of the world it is open to and participated in by all.
The race is relatively simple at first glance. It consists of three barrels placed at specified distances in an arena in a triangular pattern, referred to as a cloverleaf pattern. Different associations have their own recommended distances.
A general guideline would be ninety feet from the first to second barrel and ninety feet to the third. These distances vary anywhere from sixty to one hundred and five feet. However, once set, it remains the same for all competitors in that race.
The competitor enters the arena at one end and proceeds at top speed around the first barrel and then proceeds across the arena to the second, which must be turned in the opposite direction from the first. Next they proceed down the arena to the third barrel, which must be turned in the same direction as the second barrel. Then it's down the centerline at breakneck speed across the finish line. That's it, fastest time wins.
Barrel racing is a wonderful activity for anyone who enjoys being outdoors, excitement, an adrenalin rush, and the chance to really communicate with horses. When you travel at top speed your communication skills need to be on time and accurate. This is one sport that seems to hold the interest of entire families. Even the teenagers stay with it. That could be due to the fact that most of the time you win cash and not ribbons.
If you think that you're ready for a little excitement, don't hesitate, give it a try. Don't be put off by the idea of competing or even the speed. Many of my students don't go out and start competing right away. Some never want to compete.
They simply want to enjoy having the ability to do it and the opportunity to give it a try. Most of all they are thrilled to be able to do something so completely different from anything they have ever done before. Barrel racing provides them that fulfillment and excitement.

An original workbook companion to the acclaimed business bestseller The Back of the Napkin
Dan Roam's The Back of the Napkin, a BusinessWeek bestseller, taught readers the power of brainstorming and communicating with pictures. It presented a new and exciting way to solve all kinds of problems-from the boardroom to the sales floor to the cubicle jungle.
The companion workbook, Unfolding the Napkin, helps readers put Roam's principles into practice with step-by-step guidelines. It's filled with detailed case studies, guided do-it-yourself exercises, and plenty of blank space for drawing. Roam structured the book as a complete four-day visual-thinking seminar, taking readers step-by-step from "I can't draw" to "Here is the picture I drew that I think will save the world."
The workbook teaches readers how to:
•Improve their three "built-in" visual problem solving tools.
•Apply the four-step visual thinking process (look-see-imagine-show) in any business situation.
•Instantly improve their visual imaginations.
•Learn how to recognize the type of problem to choose the best visual solution.
If The Back of the Napkin was a guide to fine dining, Unfolding the Napkin is the cookbook that will soon be heavily marked up and dogeared.

The big issue here are the children who are sitting in the class rooms (K-13) now, it's their children who are the ones going to feel the effects of this blunder. Its their children that won't be going to dance, hockey, shopping, etc., because the government robbed them of that opportunity. As parents we should be demanding a referendum for our children and their futures. Shame on us.

Ben , title depends on the occupation of the land and for how long. And one can take from another by war or treaty. Hitler preferred war. Britan used war and treaties. Much of canada was by taken by treaty, some not. Not by treaty nor war includes both the island of nfld and also Labrador. The Beothics held NFLD until i guess we committed genoscide against them. The aboriginals in Labrador survived, but continually suffered at the hands of our forefathers, and even from our present generation. And you think your title to parts of labrador is as good as the aboriginals? On what basis? You seem to lack much knowledge of history.

Nothing todate has stood in the way of government usurping unto itself whatever authority it believes it needs and wants in order to impose this unneeded and unaffordable Muskrat Falls project on its own citizens........ It seems now that even signed agreements mean nothing...... It is not a day for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to feel proud, and I hope that the Nunatsiavut Government is able to assert its inherent rights and settle for nothing less than a good-faith and respectful relationship with government.

What we need to do instead is to stay calm and tell the stylist that the result was not what you had in mind. If the problem is due to styling, simply ask to have your hair styled differently. If the problem is with the cut, you can calmly discuss it with the stylist and see if your concerns can be resolved.
If not, you can ask to speak to the manager or salon owner and see what can be done. You probably won't get your money back on the the current cut, but you should be able to come to a resolution that will satisfy both parties.

If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.
Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Squash Galaxy Wrap Grip. We've been in the business a long time and always get requests on what our favorite wrap grip is for squash so we went out and made our own! The Squash Galaxy Wrap grip has a smooth and extremely tacky feel and is the appropriate length and size for any squash racquet on the market. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

Who doesn't enjoy a good face masque. Well I know I do. I love that 15 minutes of bliss and the mess too. I also like to share these minutes with Kiehls Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Mask quite often. I will tell you why.
A cleansing masque that helps to purify skin and visibly minimize pores; Formulated with Amazonian White Clay to gently draw out oil, dirt and toxins that clog pores; The addition of Oatmeal and Aloe Vera helps to soothe.
Price: $23 for 5.0 fl. Oz
How it fared:
The packaging is a plastic tub one with a wide mouth and a twist open cap. Nothing fancy but works well for what it is intended. The mask is a light grey colored one with a creamy consistency. It is easy to spread out and applies even. The consistency is just right for a masque. The mask dries down pretty quickly. I leave it on for usually 10-15 minutes before washing it off. It is an instant pick me up mask . The mask did not leave my skin dry and parched like the usual clay masks although I like to follow up with a light weight moisturizer. The effect did last on a few days too and wasn't momentary. I do not have acne issues so I wouldn't be able to comment on the effect. As for the pores, they do appear to be minimized and less promiscuous on continued usage of masque. But it does take sometime to show any permanent effect on the same. It has not completely taken care of the open pores but on prolonged use I have noticed that there is subtle yet commendable difference.
Overall Verdict: Kiehls Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque is a really great option for a home facial. It has been a staple for me for a very long time and I have every intention to repurchase it. I love the soft glow it imparts and the non-drying creamy texture.

I know we have hashed this over on a couple of other threads and the FAQ, but if I'm going to prune my fuschia, I need courage!
The bush is in the ground and about 5' tall and still has blooms on it. It has a blue-green heart shaped leaf. It is looking leggy. If blooms come on new growth, I feel it should be cut back. But how much? 1/3? 1/2? Thanks for any help. |

hi Susan, In your wonderful climate, cutting it back by half will be ok, then dig in some organic manure, or fish blood and bone meal and later when it starts to shoot new growth give it a liquid feed of high nitrogen NPK 20-10-10. When the leaves are fully developed again feed with a balanced feed NPK 20-20-20. Kath:) |

Thank you for all the suggestions. Do you use steer manure? |
If you're going to use steer manure, make sure it's old. If you buy yours in a sanitised form eg pellets, it should be fine to use straight out of the bag. Sheep pellets are also very good. Powdered and mixed with the soil is also useful and it helps hold moisture. However, if you put it on too thickly it can form a crust which will stop water getting through. Lightly fork it to break the seal if this does happen. If you just hauled it out the pasture, put it into an opaque, heavy-duty plastic baggie and let it age into a no-smell, no lumps, lightly moist substance, probably with an earthworm population. If you don't, and someone was feeding out hay, you could import lots of interesting pasture weeds with tenacious roots. Blood and bone is also appreciated by fuchsias, especially under a mulch, to stop nitrogen robbing by the working microbes. |

Boutique, Conscious, Divine, Find Your Divine, Joshua Bell, Shopping, Smile
Have you seen this video yet? As part of a human experiment, Joshua Bell, a world renowned violinist, plays in the D.C. subway station during rush hour. As the Washington Post reported nary a person turned their head, much less stopped to listen. Granted, I never would have recognized him, but I do so hope I would have slowed at the sound of musical genius.
Miracles are missed every day because we are not tuned in. Never mind smartphone zombie syndrome (guilty!), let's talk about the innocent distraction of thinking. I am often so distracted listening to the voice in my head…the one reviewing to-do lists or brainstorming…I barely remember how I drove from point A to B.
Today, I woke up with a mind full of distracting thoughts and worries, so I decided I needed to get out. I decided I was going to smile at every person I made eye contact with. This kept me conscious and tuned into people. I got plenty of shocked and/or weird looks but many more genuine smiles and great energy transfers in return. Divine Discovery #1 for today ~ consciously connecting with people keeps you present and open for greater discovery.
Divine Discovery #2? Eight absolutely charming retail spots in downtown Spokane. The kind of shops I crave. Kitschy, lovely boutiques like those I used to frequent when living in Scottsdale, AZ. I tell people all the time I am a retailer at heart ~ my career started in retail, and I miss it. But because I haven't had a budget for shopping in recent years, I rarely go. My retailer's heart busted wide open today visiting with shop owners and browsing their stores.
Retail is part of Find Your Divine's future. Of that, I have always been sure. But today's field study was an accident. I think it happened because I was tuned into my surroundings, and my Divine knew I needed a boost of feel good. While running an unrelated errand I spotted a curious shop sign and stopped. And visited. And gathered info. And went to the next shop. Repeat. It was a mini-miracle of inspiration.
Smile and exhale.
I will be making a conscious effort every day to tune out of my head, get out of my normal surroundings and tune in to the world around me. Join the fun.

Last week the city opened a new park adjacent to Gantry State Park on the waterfront in Long Island City.
The 5.5-acre swath of land includes a large circular lawn, a playground, a waterside promenade, bike lanes, a dog park and interactive fountain system for hot days, as well as a 13,000-square-foot park hours complete with comfort stations, concessions, an elevated cafÈ plaza and a maintenance facility for the Department of Parks and Recreation.
The design, like the many modern condominium towers springing up in the area, is sleek. Old railroad tracks planted with native gasses look like the High Line in Manhattan and many steel-and-stone fixtures complete the look.
Last Thursday afternoon about 30 kids and parents filled the play structure while many happy dog owners used the small -sized dog run complete with designated small- and large-dog areas.
"It's gorgeous," said Carolyn Peters, who takes care of several LIC children. "They are very much enjoying it."
She said the new playground attracts slightly older kids while the established jungle gym, nicknamed Rainbow park, on the other side of the Gantry State Park piers draws more toddlers.
"We have Shady Park and Rainbow Park," Peters said. "I wonder how they will call this new park?
Her only request would be to bring back tennis courts that previously occupied in the Hunters Point South location.
The green space is the first phase in the Hunters Point South project. The new waterfront multi-use development will include 5,000 new units of housing, with a minimum of 60 percent designated affordable. That makes it the largest affordable housing complex built in the city since the 1970s.
Last Wednesday Mayor Mike Bloomberg checked out the new waterfront park.
"Around the city, we've reclaimed abandoned or neglected parts of our waterfront, and turned them into innovative open spaces," Bloomberg said. "I know that Hunters Point South Waterfront Park will quickly join the list of beloved green spaces along our city's shores."

Keywords: Townhouse, condo, Radium, Invermere, Columbia Valley
Our immediate and extended family have been enjoying regular visits to Radium for the last 10 years. Because of some business involvement in the valley the area has become a very big part of our life, so purchasing a condo seemed like the next logical step. We enjoy all 4 seasons in Radium, each having their own charm. Our children have grown up vacationing in the area and love it.
The Owner purchased this townhome in 2010
Radium is a quaint town with a busy main street. It is your first stop after driving through the 'big rock' into the Columbia Valley, as opposed to having to drive another 15-40 minutes to other destinations in the valley. So it makes for a great home base and is minutes from any activities you might be interested in.
The biggest benefit, aside from how beautiful the unit itself is, is the use of the facilities at Radium Valley Vacation Resort. The recreation center is only a 2 minute walk from our front door, and has one of the nicest indoor/outdoor pools in the area. You can also walk into Radium to enjoy the restaurants and shops, then have an ice cream at 'Screamers'.

Cabin comfort
Passenger at heart, airline in mind
Airbus cabins are designed to offer passengers and airlines the highest levels of comfort, services and efficiency. Comfort always has been a major design consideration to ensure the best possible passenger experience across all families of Airbus families.
Airbus is committed to passenger well-being, which is why it offers an entire product line of aircraft designed to set the modern standard for comfort in the evolving aviation industry.
Not only are these cabins innovative and attractive, they also are being continuously improved to provide the quietest, most comfortable and enjoyable flights for both passengers and crews.
As passenger requirements have changed, all Airbus aircraft – from the single-aisle A320 Family, to the widebody A330 family and A350 XWB, and the 21st century flagship A380 jetliner – are designed for today's comfort standards, benefiting travellers and the airlines that carry them.
Seat width is one of the most important – yet often overlooked – factors for passenger comfort, increasingly becoming a fundamental deciding factor driving passenger choice and business success. As a result, Airbus offers at least a standard 18-inch wide seat in economy class for all of its jetliners, which provides extra room compared to the 17-inch industry norm set in the 1960s and still used by other aircraft manufacturers.
This additional room for lateral movement and personal space positions airlines to meet the requirements of more and more demanding passengers, as people are generally growing taller and wider.
Airbus offers a modern level of comfort with the A320 Family cabin, which increases the overall feeling of space and light, with a noticeably quieter environment. Taking full advantage of the A320's wide fuselage, this enhanced interior offers passengers 15 per cent more useable overhead stowage volume, an 18-inch seat for improved comfort and additional shoulder clearance on regional and short-haul flights, and a 25-inch aisle for faster boarding and deplaning – allowing turnaround times of 20 minutes or less.
The company also is committed to the 18-inch standard seat in economy for its widebody aircraft. As long-haul flights become more frequent and cover greater distances, the A330 family and the A350 XWB offer an 18-inch standard seat in economy to ensure the comfort of passengers travelling in all classes of service, while the A380 jetliner is designed for a standard 18.5-inch seat in economy class.
The greater floor space of the A380 (50 per cent more than the Boeing 747-400) enables airlines to offer passengers in every class a new unmatched comfort standard. The unique double-deck arrangement provides extra capacity at the same time as improving the passenger experience. The A380 cabin architecture with its wide front stairs allows efficient boarding and deplaning with shorter turnarounds, along with economy class seats. The efficient A380 has become the flagship for its operators, carrying more passengers in the best cabin in the sky.
Thanks to its extra wide cross-section, the A350 XWB also will offer passengers the highest comfort standards and allows the airline to introduce innovative cabin concepts in all classes. The A350 XWB will feature wider seats, wider aisles and with straighter sidewalls, will offer more head and shoulder clearance.
With its aircraft designed for wide seats and innovative cabin concepts, Airbus entire product line is tailored for operators to meet the requirements of today's discerning passengers. Demand this standard for personal space and fly in the Airbus comfort zone.

Major Expansion for Kristoff Brand
David Savona
Posted: June 17, 2013
(continued from page 1)
(Corrected July 18)
Kristoff, a nine-year-old cigar brand known for making pigtailed cigars with uncut feet, is undergoing a major expansion. Brand founder and owner Glen Case is poised to unveil what he is calling "the next generation of Kristoff," a series of four new blends made in a more elegant and traditional style, several of them with amped-up power. The new cigars, sold under the umbrella Kristoff Galerones Series, will be the first new products unveiled by Kristoff Cigars Inc. in two years.
"The packaging is going to be totally different, and the tobaccos I'm using are totally different," Case told Cigar Insider. The Galerones Series will be made without the signature Kristoff pigtail and uncut foot: they will have triple-seam caps (also known as mounted heads), clean-cut feet and will be packaged without the loose tobacco seen on the other incarnations of the Kristoff brand, which will still be sold. "The existing Kristoff series continues," said Case.
One of the definitions of the word galerónes in Spanish is "shed," and Case said the term is one that is used, rarely, to refer to tobacco barns. "You don't hear it used a lot in Cuba," said Case.
There will be four blends within the Kristoff Galerones Series, each with several sizes and different tobaccos. Many of the leaves being used are completely new to the brand.
"In one of the blends I'm using a San Andrés wrapper [from Mexico], another one has a Cubra wrapper from Brazil, grown from Habano seed," said Case. "In most of these blends I'm using a fair amount of Nicaraguan Estelí filler, which I haven't used. The Nicaraguan I've used the most has been from Jalapa."
Moving to filler tobacco from Estelí, known for strength, rather than Jalapa, which is known for balance, is part of Case's strategy to appeal to a smoker looking for a more powerful experience. He said most of the cigars in the Galerones Series would be fuller bodied with more spice, "but still maintaining that smooth, rich flavor that I'm known for."
Each blend will have a robusto (measuring 5 inches long by 52 ring), toro (6 1/4 by 54) and torpedo (6 1/4 by 52). Three of the four blends will have a 6 by 60 size, save for the mildest, which will instead have a Churchill measuring 7 by 52. Suggested retail on the new line is set to be around $10.00 to $11.50 per cigar, higher than the $8.00 to $10.00 found on other Kristoffs. Case is still working on several details of the new line.
While Kristoffs have historically been made at the Charles Fairmorn factory in the Dominican Republic, and will still be rolled there, the new Galerones Series is being made by Abe Flores at his PDR Cigars Dominicana factory in Tamboril, Dominican Republic.
Kristoff was founded in 2004, and the brand has achieved acceptance from consumers and critics alike. The Kristoff Corojo Limitada Torpedo was named No. 11 cigar of 2012 by Cigar Aficionado, and it scored 93 points. Case is not making changes to production of his other cigars.
When asked why he is moving away from the style that put his brand on the map, Case said: "There's a portion of the cigar market I'm missing."

Read this a week ago on the blogs. Also, 2nd to last paragraph: Kristoff was founded in 1994?
Really? Anyone reading this comment will see it probably says 2004 by now but that is because I am notifying them of their typo in this comment. And people thing the bloggers are half-@ssed.
David Savona — June 18, 2013 4:52pm ET
Thank you for pointing out the typo. We have corrected the copy.

In all my years of reading hardware articles, I have only stumbled upon a handful of TV Tuner Card reviews. Quite literally, I could count them on one hand! So when my local supplier Compuworld placed these cards on their price list, I jumped at the opportunity to own one. I had considered purchasing a TV set for my bedroom, but decided not to when I discovered how expensive they were. Could this card be just what the doctor ordered? let's find out!
Stuff of Importance
- First Impressions
The PlayTV Pro comes in a similar box to the GeForce2 MX by Prolink. In the "Deluxe" version, you not only receive a TV Tuner, but an FM Tuner, audio patch lead, FM antenna, video capture capability, composite input cable and an infrared remote control. Here is a picture of the board:
The major feature of the board is the Philips TV/FM Tuner module. A Conexant Fusion (formerly Brooktree BT878) encoder chip is present that facilitates video capture. Both composite and S-Video inputs are provided. This card has the potential to turn the back of your PC into a rat's nest of cables, having no fewer than 6 external connectors. They are: FM Antenna, TV Antenna, infrared sensor, audio out, S-Video input and composite input. Other "All-in-one" cards such as the Voodoo3 3500 and ATi's All-in-Wonder series use a breakout box for all the cables - but this setup isn't too bad. An internal connector provides capability to connect a Philips web cam. The card can receive TV inputs both from a standard antenna or a cable TV subscription.
The infrared connector is something rather unusual. An infrared "eye" is connected via a 1-metre cable to a 3.5mm stereo connector at the other end. The eye has double-sided tape attached, so you can stick it anywhere. I chose to mount it on the front of my AOpen HX-45 case, and thread the cable through my machine and out the back. This setup worked rather well, as the infrared connector moves with the PC. The infrared connector is a nice talking point at LANs as well! Here is a picture of the remote control:
A driver CD containing drivers for several Prolink products was included, along with a copy of Cyberlink's web cam software. Although Prolink states that a web cam can be connected via the composite input, I still don't feel that this software has a purpose on a tuner card. Some basic video capture software would be nice, but with a price this low a small home level video-editing suite shouldn't cost too much.

Purchase College is committed to offering a quality accessible and affordable education to all admitted students. In addition to need-based financial aid, we offer merit and talent scholarships to eligible students. All candidates for admission are evaluated for scholarship at the time of review. We seek to award as many qualified candidates as our funds will allow. Last year Purchase College offered approximately $1.5 million in merit and talent scholarships to academically qualified new and returning students.
Incoming freshmen are eligible for several different annual scholarships with awards ranging from $200 to full tuition. Scholarship recipients pursuing BA/BS programs are selected based on academic credentials as measured by high school performance and standardized test scores. BFA and MusB candidates are awarded scholarships based on talent demonstrated during the application process.
Scholarship recipients will be notified on a rolling basis beginning February 15, 2012 with a response date of May 1, 2012. Scholarship review continues until all awards are offered and accepted.
Recognizing that students today must often fund portions of their college expenses through scholarships given by private agencies, civic groups, companies, and other independent organizations, the Office of Student Financial Services monitors and advises students of opportunities for students to obtain outside scholarships.

Southern Grampians Shire Council draft 2015/2015 budget speeches from the special meeting held last Wednesday, April 30 2014.
Southern Grampians Mayor Albert Calvano
Before we continue I'd like to thank the officers and councillors for their participation and input into the draft budget,
I would like to acknowledge some of the key achievements that have led us to this point.
The new greater Hamilton branding marks a shift in the way we think about ourselves and our place in the broader region and community.
We have put together a master plan for the airport and have secured $2.5 million in funding to extend the runway and put new lights at our Hamilton airport because this is important for our region and important for our local economy.
Another asset that we are proud of is our saleyards, also one of our most important assets and that's why we are asking for federal and state governments to help fund a $4.6 million expansion on our saleyards.
The draft budget under consideration tonight includes a number of unique initiatives; many of which are also about the vital partnerships we must build on in our greater region and this includes payments to Warrnambool cancer centre of which there is no doubt that greater Hamilton residents will benefit from.
Partnership with Glenelg Shire Council to explore the implications of the NBN rollout.
Conducting and audit of waste water in towns that are unsewered so we can monitor the impacts and identify the solutions.
We are also looking at building a new council website that will make it easier for investors, ratepayers and other services can use it to find information on what they need from our council.b
This year we are looking forward to great funding.
We have a need for around about $13 million in capital funding for some of the projects that range in capital works which includes in this budget roads and footpaths with a round figure of $5.7 million, the Hamilton Airport $2.6m, livestock exchange in the order of $470,000.
All through I've been in council, for six years, there has been talk of the Hamilton Skate Park; eventually this year there is $250,000 in the budget.
HILAC 25 metre heated pool $114,000, Melville oval lighting $430,000, the purchase of road rollers for $345,000.
And also public toilets at Balmoral that has been advocated for, eventually in this budget: $212,000.
In conclusion with the rate rise of 2014/2015 financial year of 6.5 per cent the revenue raised will allow us to maintain existing services, fund new initiatives and continue to allocate funds to renew the shire's ageing infrastructure.
I'm proud to say on behalf of my fellow councillors that we as council are consistent with our council plan and strategic resource plan.
This draft budget will go to public submission and I do encourage the community to review the document and lodge a submission where appropriate.
Councillor Dennis Dawson
Of all the things we debate in this chamber, Mr Mayor, the budget and the strategic resource plan is the most important.
All of our services and operations revolve around the availability of funds and they are sourced from rates and contribution and grants from governments, and the fees that we charge.
There is nothing more certain that death and taxes but where most of us a fairly reluctant to accept death we accept taxes when we are assured that they are fair and spent efficiently and well.
Under the standing orders I only have time to speak for a few minutes so I don't have time to expand on the many issues that I see that this budget raises.
I do want to spend a minute to specifically thank the staff for their work in the preparation of the budget material and the review of the services to work towards no net operational increase.
It's a huge task and I really would like to thank them for it.
In the budget documents you'll see the chief executive's summary says we must balance demand with the community's capacity to pay.
We know we have an ageing low growth community and by 2016/2017 some 10 per cent of our annual agricultural production, which is assessed in the 2014 figures, is going to be consumed by the charges the shire levies in rates.
I accept that we have to maintain a sound financial framework, but I don't accept the way to achieve this is to continually increase our rate take.
Over the period of this council the increase will be 25.5 per cent, multiplied because that's only the addition of individual years over the council term.
At the end of this council term I will happily own a middle range house and on present indications it will cost well over $2000 a year in council rates alone.
Projects show the increase will be soaked up by costs other than capital works because they remain relatively stable over the long term.
In addition to that, I do believe the capital spending we are putting in for 2014/2015 will not be achieved.
I've tried to contribute a more detailed analysis of the budget in some way without success, but I believe councillors need to be more actively involved in this process and need to be much more aware of structural influences that drive it.
To that end I will continue to advocate for the establishment of a finance committee of council to work collaboratively for the community benefit.
Finally I can say the electoral policy of some potential councillors at the public forum was quite emphatic: that there would be no more money for consultancies and the funds would be directed to tangible gain.
I accept that consultancies are required in some instances, but this budget proposes expenditure of about $360,000 in consultancies and planning reviews.
I said during the budget discussions that I was quite prepared to accept a budget which provided an increase where it details a structure and accepted projects and an acceptable cost.
I'm not prepared to accept one that is developed from the status quo plus what is seen to be politically acceptable increases.
The only influence that I can have in this budget process is to vote 'no' and that is what I propose to do.
Councillor Paul Battista
Mr Mayor on the whole, this budget going forward, we have done a lot of work.
I think we are working hard to keep consultancies down.
We need to move towards design and construct methods rather than separate.
And I do support that as in I believe there would be saving in the long term.
Mr Mayor, that's what we're here as councillors for; to work hard and make savings on behalf of people in our shire.
But we have to remember some things; we want to grow and to grow our shire we've to put key projects in place.
Because by putting those key projects in place we will grow the population of our shire.
I firmly believe in this. If we try and cut now and hold back, we don't go forward with some of these projects, as you know in the past I have been quite concerned about some of these projects because I should have got other governments to fund certain projects but nevertheless we've decided to put these in, and some of the projects have come in with certain funding from governments and some haven't.
Mr Mayor, if we're going to grow our shire's we've got to get on board and support this budget moving forward.
From the part of Huon Park, there was community consultation and there was strong support. I don't know how it got lost in the mix but, Mr Mayor, if I do not move this forward right now as part of this budget, then the next time we come to vote on the budget someone will saying: 'why are your bringing this to council now?'
I've had this in previous years, it's a point where you get blocked for some reason, but Mr Mayor I'm putting this out to the community and I hope the community get on board with this.
If their support with the submissions comes through then council should look at this in detail but if we don't put it now I don't know when this project is going to get done.
I understand Cr Dark talking about 'are we going to get a grant?' maybe we can work a grant up and the money can come through and that will be a budget saving so we'll be able to put the money in something else.
If I dot not move this now I feel that the asset of Huon park, with item such as shade sails and the importance of how strong our sun is and UV, we're trying to protect our community.
I see this as a safety issue Mr Mayor, I believe we need more shade sails at Huon park and that's why I brought it to council; its very important.

Yes, I agree, the music is cool (not a fan of the style, but I can
still recognize good performance). I think there is too much midrange
in the mix, so the overall sound is a bit muddy, there should be more
separation of the instruments, especially with guitar and vocals. The
drums are very thin, too, the kickdrum and bass guitar really need to
create the pulse underneath everything.

Custis James approached the study from the point of view of a woman who doesn't fit stereotypes of the Christian woman. As she says, "The pattern for women handed down to us in the church simply doesn't fit all sizes and shapes that women come in these days." Singles, for instance do not fit that mold. "However, many of us---more than ever before---are alone, not simply through the death of a spouse but often because we never married or are divorced. Many are single parents. (cont'd)
In Bethany, a woman brought a great treasure to Jesus. She carried an alabaster jar filled with ointment. Before the shocked eyes of the disciples, she emptied the expensive perfumed over Jesus' head. The disciples cried out in dismay. "Why this waste? For this ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money given to the poor." They understood charity. They understood giving to the poor, yet they could not understand this woman's actions. Jesus, however, responded, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has performed a good service for me." He saw this woman's actions as service, as serving. More, she demonstrated an awareness of the coming death of Christ. Jesus said, "By pouring this ointment on my body she has prepared me for burial." The service the disciples would have rejected, the Master accepted and commended.
Through out history other women have faced similar struggles, in fact, that struggle continues today. Too often they are told, as this woman was, that the service they offer for the body of Christ is unwelcome or spiritually wrong. Jesus offered encouragement, however. He said, "Truly I tell you, wherever this good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her." We need to remember the brave woman with a jar of oil and all the other women in the Bible and in our history.

Children at Risk
Mental retardation occurs in upper and lower socioeconomic classes, except that certain etiological factors (e.g., lead poisoning and premature births) are linked to lower socioeconomic class. Individuals with mental retardation exist in all cultures, educational, racial and ethnic groups.
The prevalence of mental retardation in adults has been estimated at approximately 1%, or roughly 1 in 100. However, as many as 3% of school-age children are diagnosed as mentally retarded. The difference between child and adult rates may be due to the fact that some children may improve their adaptive abilities so that the diagnosis no longer applies.
Mental retardation is more common in males, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.5:1.

Although no formal announcement has yet been made, as of 2:00 PM on Wednesday it was official that Dean Zelda Braun, Associate Dean of Students on Stern campus was retiring before next school year. Dean Braun has been a member of Yeshiva University's administration for 25 years and has long been considered a fixture of the university.
The dean decided not to release the information in a formal manner yesterday because Wednesday evening was the Student Leadership dessert honoring the departing and incumbent leaders of the Stern student body. Dean Braun explained that she wanted that night to be about the students and not about her. They deserved that celebration, she said, and she didn't want to get in the way of their honor.
According to incoming Student Council President of Stern, Dena Shayne, the Center for the Jewish Future, CJF, will be taking over the Office of Student Affairs. Shayne suggested that this step is part of the process of "re-imagining," that President Richard Joel has spoken about recently, which will include consolidation of different factions and undergraduate bodies at YU.
The idea was proposed by a Stern senior that this move is one of many financially driven decisions recently made by YU.
Shayne defended the actions of President Joel, saying it was in order to make Student Affairs "even more amazing than it has been in the past." According to their website, the Office of Student Affairs' mission is "to serve as a guide and a resource to each and every member of the student body, and assist you in maximizing your potential as part of the YU community."
Shayne and others have emphasized how much Dean Braun will be missed by the students at Stern College.
"Dean Braun's presence in this university is entirely irreplaceable, and each person on this campus will miss her warmth, and her inspiration and guidance," elaborated Shayne, who admitted to being "still frazzled" by the shock of the news. "But as institutions move progress and evolve, some elements of those institutions are regrettably lost. Each member of student government has been deeply influenced by Dean Braun and she will continue to be a presence in this university because of the incredible mark she has left on the Stern women."
Dr. Victor Schwartz, Dean of Students at YU, has professed to being "sad" in response to the news of Dean Braun's imminent retirement.
"We are profoundly grateful for her long association with the University and all wish her continuing good health and many years of productivity," said Dean Schwartz. "The University and the Jewish community owe her tremendous gratitude for her devoted leadership in shaping the lives of so many young women."
For herself, Dean Braun says, "It has been my good fortune to have worked with generations of outstanding women at Yeshiva University's Beren Campus for the past twenty-five years and to have shared so many significant experiences in their college lives. I hope that the future generations of our university women will continue to learn and develop on campus so they to will go on to impact communities throughout their worlds."
Shayne suggested that Dean Bradley Karasik, Associate Dean of Students at Yeshiva College, will be retiring as well, but on this point Dean Schwartz said that he was "not able to address anything in relation to Dean Karasik."

I was saddened to hear about world-renowned golf teacher Jim Flick. I remember meeting Jim in December 1990, at Desert Mountain Country Club, just after I took care of ASU junior Phil Mickelson. I tried to explain to Jim why I fit Phil with custom designed contacts rather than glasses for his first optical correction. I told him I believed better putters and chippers needed to see more periphery, needed true size magnification for efficient depth perception that contacts give you over glasses, and to play by feel instead of over thinking so players trusted what they saw (instinctual playing).
Jim gave me two hours of his valuable time, was very friendly, open-minded to new ideas and told me who his roommate was at Wake Forest University. He told me he analyzed Phil's golf swing for Golf Digest and said, "I believe what you are telling me, but you can't hurt Phil's golf swing because it is perfect." I even tried to suggest Jim consider contact lenses for himself, since he wore very thick glasses. Jim was a well-established and highly respected golf instructor who held the mental game to be most important over the visual (eyes and overall seeing in seven basic skills), but made me feel so welcome and accepted while sharing our different ideas on helping golfers to be their best. Jim Flick was a teacher who championed the fundamentals of golf. Look at what he did for Jack Nicklaus' and Tom Lehman's game and career. His performance speaks for itself as a teacher and a man.
Oh by the way, Jim knew I was from western Pa. and told me his roommate at Wake Forest was Arnold Palmer. I just about dropped out of my chair and he laughed. Every time I saw Jim at the Phoenix Open he always stopped who he was speaking to say "hello" to me. See, Jim was a mensch. All people who see the bigger picture go to a higher place. RIP.

I've got a new piece at Reason.com expanding on my earlier reports on the new pilot program by which Facebook will give Maryland school officials a dedicated channel with which to seek takedown of posts and other material that in their view contributes to the problem of "cyber-bullying." I think the program represents a disturbing step toward a wider government role as arbiter of what is allowed to be said in social media, the more so as it will be difficult or impossible to know whether takedown decisions at Facebook's discretion are an entirely neutral application of the service's "Community Standards" or are swayed in part by the wish to keep government bodies happy. I quote various press accounts, some affording additional insight into the existing and proposed takedown process, as well as commentary by Scott Greenfield, TechDirt, and the Daily Caller in which I'm quoted. Some additional commentary: Joy Pullmann/Heartland, Josh Blackman. More: Instalanched, thanks Glenn Reynolds.

Were I Facebook's lawyer, I'd be very concerned that this (and actions like it) would leave Facebook vulnerable to involvement as agents acting for the state.

Home › Academics › Colleges › Collins College of Business › Advising › Nursing Advising
The School of Nursing advises nursing majors. Each student is assigned a nursing faculty member as an advisor. Advisors will send e-mails notifying students of advising and enrollment times. Faculty post lists of additional office hours for advising throughout the year.
For more information about nursing programs of study, visit the School of Nursing site.
Special note for downloading documents: downloadable documents on this website are in PDF format. Click here to download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Click here to download a copy of the current (2014) Degree Plan.
There are some important restrictions that apply to transfer credit. University policy states that the last 45 credit hours toward graduation must be taken in residence at The University of Tulsa. To ensure transferability, students should seek approval prior to enrolling in the course from the Director of the School of Nursing. Make an appointment by calling 631-3116 and bring a copy of the course description from the catalog/bulletin for review. However, the School of Nursing has identified transferable courses from Tulsa Community College. These course equivalencies have already been approved and do not require approval before enrollment.
Click here to download a copy of the TCC Transfer sheet.
After completing the course, be sure to send an official copy of your transcript to The University of Tulsa.
You are a TU freshman if you have one to twenty-nine credit hours completed. TU Sophomore standing is from thirty to fifty-nine credit hours, juniors from sixty to eighty-nine; and seniors ninety or more credit hours. However, your School of Nursing class standing is determined by the level classes in which you are enrolled. Students in Level I courses are Sophomores, Level II courses are Juniors and Level III courses are Seniors. You may enroll according to your TU class standing rather than the School of Nursing class standing.
You may contact your faculty advisor to coordinate your education experience and assist you in your planning, as well as refer you to other departments and services on campus as needed.
A course may be dropped during the first two weeks of a semester with no academic penalty. Academic penalty refers to the fact that there will be no entry on your transcript. To drop a course during this time period, you must complete the Drop/Add Form available from the School of Nursing office. The form requires the signature of your advisor.
Course withdrawals are treated as a serious matter that requires advisor/student interaction. Students must see their advisor when they need to withdraw from a course. Withdrawal from a course may delay a student's progression in the nursing curriculum by a semester or a year. In addition to the advisor's signature, the instructor's signature is required to withdraw after the first three weeks of the semester. No withdrawals are permitted after the 12th week of the semester. Within the period that withdrawals are permitted (4th through 12th week), there will be a transcript entry of either "W" or "WF". The instructor of the course makes the W or WF determination. A W has no impact on the GPA, while a WF impacts the GPA the same as an F. If withdrawing from a course reduces the total hours for the semester to less than 12, there are also financial aid implications and in the case of international students, visa status implications. Students should check with those offices for additional information.
Minors are determined by the department and requirements are listed in the University Bulletin. Your advisor can assist you with meeting these requirements or may refer you to the department for additional advising. In order for the minor to appear on your transcript, you must declare the minor and complete the "Change of Major Form" (completing the minor section only). The most common minors selected by nursing majors are in business, early interventions, psychology, or music.

College Street Party Turns to Urban Warfare When Police, Sheriffs & SWAT Use Force
Each year Kent State University in Ohio hosts a widely popular party called "College Fest." Similarly to the gathering in 2009, police forces from multiple jurisdictions showed up Saturday and cleared the residential street party with an armored vehicle, pepper balls, smoke bombs, flash-bang grenades & tear gas. Police say their actions were in response to reports of isolated fights and bottles being thrown. Some students say everything was all fun and games until the police "started shooting stuff" at them.
An estimated 3,000 party goers showed up for the annual beer fueled event which was being closely monitored by police from the start of the day. Police say that by the late afternoon, multiple fights had broken out within the crowd. Rather than addressing the individuals involved with the fights, Kent City police called in back up from the Portage County Sheriff's Office, Brimfield Police Department and the Metro SWAT team to indiscriminately clear the streets with force.
"They showed up for no reason — we were just drinking out here," Micheal Smith tells KentWired.com. "Honestly, [the police] want to keep control in the street, and everything was in control until they started shooting stuff at us."
After police created the chaotic smoke filled scene, a total of 33 people were arrested, none of which were arrested for fighting or throwing bottles. Police used sound amplifying devices to let the crowd know that "the party was over," but the students responded with chants of "USA, USA, USA!" and "Fuck the Police." Once the police began firing less-lethal projectiles and explosives into the crowd, some students responded with beer bottle missiles, rocks and additional resistance chants. Police had cleared the streets by 7pm.
Students have already planned a do-over party set for next Saturday. Already more than 2,240 people have RSVP'd on the "College Fest 2012 #2″ Facebook event page.
The weather for the 28th is expected to be a lot better with no rain so lets make this one even bigger…So throw them College Fest t-shirts back on and come out and party with us on College Street!
Online organizers have urged attendees to refrain from fighting and confronting the police during next week's event. They've also made it clear that underage drinking is not welcome. In my view it doesn't matter how the partiers behave, the police are going to do as they please. Whether the police used the outdoor large gathering as crowd control practice or they actually feel that keeping the peace involves the use of explosive devices and harmful chemical agents, it's clear that in the vast majority of instances labeled "riots," the violence is always started or increased by police actions.
Kent State University has a history of violent authoritarian actions. On May 4, 1970, a day known as the "Kent State Massacre," four students were killed and nine others were wounded when 29 members of the Ohio National Guard fired 67 shoots over a 13 second time period. The guard was responding to protests against the American invasion of Cambodia, which President Nixon had announced the week before on April 30. In response to the killings, schools across the county closed as part of a four million student strike.
