I have been teaching at the secondary and undergraduate levels for 17 years. As a teacher of Spanish, I have not only an excellent command of the Spanish language, but also a great deal of cultural knowledge. I lived in Chile in South America for 18 years and in Spain for four. I have traveled throughout Latin America and Spain and consequently I make my classes come alive with real life experiences. I believe that all language classes should include as much authentic material as possible so that students may relate to the culture, not just the language. This helps to motivate a student to learn and connect with another culture, something that is very important in today's world.
My BA is in Spanish and French, my MA is in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language from New York University and my doctoral studies are in the area of International Education. While living in Chile, I tutored secondary and elementary level students and taught undergraduate courses at a private university.
My teaching style is communicative. Though I place emphasis on the ability to communicate ideas, I also stress grammar and vocabulary. All the skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) are fundamental to becoming proficient in a second language. My classes focus on mastering all skills and the methods are meaningful and relevant to the age of the student I tutor.
In one word: FABULOUS!
My son is 4 years behind on Spanish and thanks to Carole he feels much more comfortable in class, got some great grades, which was an immediate confidence boost.
Carole is wonderful with him, patient, sweet, extremely professional, always on time and has a fun and effective way of teaching the language.
Born to teach!
Carole was instrumental in helping my daughter organize her thoughts for her college essay. She patiently explained the steps for the Common App and reduced a lot of college application anxiety in our household. A fantastic college counselor!
Carole was absolutely terrific. She was helpful and knowledgeable, as well as patient and persistent in the tutoring. She gave the student the needed confidence to overcome his past experience with the language and succeed in passing the course with a good grade. Mission accomplished!
Carole is really great! Very enthusiastic and easy to work with. I wish I still lived in NJ so I could continue with her.
Although I have only had Carole for a couple of classes, she has taught me so much about Spanish and has increased my knowledge a ton! She is very patient and reviewed the material until I understood it. Her schedule was very flexible to my needs, which was very important in my circumstance. She honestly has taught me a year worth of Spanish in just 2 short classes. Thank you for your help!
I needed someone to proofread my medical school personal statement, and so I reached out to Carole through WyzAnt. She responded very quickly to my message for help, and we got started right away. After she read through my essay (which I thought was perfect), she quickly pointed out many flaws, and suggested ways which they could be corrected. What I really liked however, was that not only was she a patient tutor, but she listened to what I wanted to do rather than what she wanted. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to correct or improve their writing, I don't think my essay would have come out this good with anyone else.
One lesson before the midterm helped my junior improve his scores. Very quick to grasp his problems and tackle his weakness.
Carole is one of the best tutors I have ever hired for my children. She is positive, flexible, and has been extremely helpful in helping my children understand Spanish. I am so glad that I took the chance and hired her through Wyzant!
Preparing for a trip to Ecuador and unimpressed with my Spanish 2 teacher at college, I hired Carole to work with me and what a great decision that was. she is always prepared, her explanations are clear and thorough. She helps with homework, and also helps me integrate the material by having conversations on relevant topics. she has set up on-line flash cards for me on her own time, which are so helpful. I had originally worried that she might be more used to dealing with children, but she works at an adult level pretty much perfectly.
I am now getting an A in my class, feel much more prepared for my trip and really look forward to my lessons with Carole.
There was no wasted time once Carole sat down with my son. She was able to assess where he was at and the areas he needed to work on. They got right to work and I was impressed by how much Carole was able to get done with him in their first session. By the end of the session they had printed out a set of vocab flashcards, gone over an old test, and worked on his homework. She was very upbeat and very positive.
Carole is very detailed when it comes to tutoring. She makes sure my daughter understands the lesson and can do it on her own. She's a very good teacher with a great personality.
Carole is a great tutor, very patient and thorough. She was flexible in her availability, allowing for extra sessions for the final exam. My son liked working with her, she reviewed written assignments by email, and was available for questions. I wish we had found her earlier in the school year!
Carole has a wonderful rapport with people, especially children. Her ability to connect with my daughter and her talent at teaching simple concepts, as well as more advanced topics, are both truly superior.
My daughter tells me that Carole goes step by step to figure out where she is having trouble, makes sure she gets to the root of the issue and then figures out the solution all the while valuing my daughter's input. I can see that Carole understands the pitfalls that come with a non-native child learning Spanish. She tutors on all forms of the language including reading, writing and focuses greatly on speaking. She does a great job with teaching grammar and pronunciation needed to learn the language. She provides supplemental materials to enhance the speaking and listening skills and these have greatly helped my daughter. She is very knowledgeable in the test taking methods that helps my daughter a great deal in exam prep.
Carole has excellent communication skills, is extremely organized and very reliable. She is very easy to talk to and has a very positive demeanor. My daughter always looks forward to seeing her.
"Dear Senora Carole,
The best thing about you is that you are a good teacher. Your teaching style is great because you have a good voice and you are creative. You also encourage me to learn how to speak Spanish. Thanks a lot!"
Carole is a great tutor. She is flexible in scheduling and really works hard to be available when needed for the student. She knows high school Spanish levels very well and can anticipate the class teacher lesson plan. And she does extra things like providing supplemental materials as needed and reviewing written assignments by email. She creates a very comfortable relationship with the student to make the sessions very effective. She really improved my child's performance.
Carole is a fantastic, encouraging, and dedicated tutor that truly goes above and beyond for her students. I would recommend her to anyone, at any level. I have taken over 12 years of Spanish with many different teachers and Carole is by far the best language instructor I have ever had. She makes everything make sense.
Carole is the best tutor you can wish to have. She is a caring and patient person. She is very knowledgeable and a great teacher. My daughter learned a great deal with Carole.
Carole is a wonderful tutor, and a great person. I am learning, and enjoying the lessons. I wish I found her earlier.
Carole is a great tutor. My only regret is that I didn't find her earlier in the year. My son feels he learned more in one hour than in a month at school.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.

Italian Sausage and Chickpea Stew over Barley
New Media Publishing / Photography: Flat Art Studios.com / Stylist: Abigail Donnelly
Provided by: Alexis Touchet
Chickpeas do double-duty by stretching the sausage and thickening the stew in this easy supper. Barley serves as a hearty bed for the stew.
- 3/4 cup pearl barley
- 3/4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth, a 14-ounce can
- 3/4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, each link pricked several times
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 1 rib celery, finely chopped
- 1 15- to 16-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 14- to 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
- Bring barley, 3/4 cup broth, and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until liquid is absorbed and barley is tender, about 40 minutes.
- Heat 2 Tablespoons oil in a 5- to 6-quart wide heavy pot over moderately high heat until it shimmers, then brown sausage, turning once, about 8 minutes, and transfer to a plate. Add onion, carrot, and celery to oil in pot, then reduce heat to moderately low and cook, stirring occasionally, until carrot is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Mash 1/2 cup chickpeas with a fork on a plate. Add sausage with any juices on plate, mashed and whole chickpeas, tomatoes, and remaining cup broth, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through and mixture is thickened, about 6 minutes.

Beautiful Cinderella has been forced by her jealous stepmother and ugly stepsisters to become a servant in her own home, though she keeps a positive outlook with the help of her friends, the chatty mice and chirping birds. When the King and the Duke plan a royal ball so that Prince Charming might find a bride, all the eligible maidens are invited-including Cinderella. Though the ugly stepsisters destroy the ball gown that Cinderella's animal friends have made, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother sings a magic song, and creates all the things Cinderella needs to get to the ball.
Once there, she instantly catches the Prince's eye. They spend the whole night together, but it is over much too soon. As the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella races from the castle in a gallant attempt to get home before the last strike of the bell. In her haste, she loses her slipper on the steps of the castle.
With the slipper as his guide, the Prince searches the kingdom for the fair lady. He sends his Grand Duke out to find the one lady whose foot fits the slipper. Try as they might, none of the stepsisters can fit in. They give Cinderella a try, and it fits! Cinderella is brought to the castle, and she and the Prince live happily ever after.

Blood and Honour – Chapter 3 – By Kiran on Deltebackground.blogspot.co.uk
The snow storms from the previous days had abated to allow the sun to break through to warm the city streets briefly before they returned with a vengeance. The citizens of the city took advantage of the break in the weather to enjoy the sun and to look for food amongst the various stores within the city. Children ran free down the city streets playing games of tag with snowballs, some of which went astray to hit some of the adults browsing the stalls much to the children's amusement.
Pure Light's Shadow – By Infinite on TESO RP
The man looked a little surprised, for the briefest second. Aria Lenchart was not what many would expect from a follower of Julianos. Her life spent in the learning temples--or Schools--of Julianos had left many with a certain degree of monastic disregard for their appearance. So much so that it has become largely associated with the Followers of Julianos. Aria Lenchart, while not a priestess, grew up in service to him.
The Dawn of Shadows: Chapter 9 – By Soulflame on TESO RP
I lay resting against a gray wall. A chill ran across the smooth stone at my back, causing me to shiver. I pulled an edge of my cloak closer to my body and hugged my knees. I stared ahead, through the iron bars of a cell.My brother stared back. Andore sat cross-legged within the cell, his chalk-white hands wrapping around the long steel rods.

I noticed an article in the nytimes about a guy living in Cuba and trying to eat what they eat (monthly rationed food). I just liked the part when he talked about the fruit @ the large market in Havana:
"I've lived in Latin America for nearly 15 years, and in all my travels I've never seen some of the exotic fruits I've found on this Caribbean island. In Cuba, there are the typical mangos, papayas, pineapples and an assortment of bananas -- tiny yellow ones as long as my pinky, medium yellows and small reds, like the ones I once saw growing wild in the mountains of Guatemala. That doesn't even count the numerous plantains, which the Cubans don't consider fruit, frying and mashing them as an accompaniment to savory dishes instead of potatoes. The larger farmers markets are also stocked with citrus -- grapefruits, tiny round limes, sweet mandarin oranges, regular sweet juice oranges, and sour oranges that Cubans use to make their ''mojos'' (MOH-johs) -- a marinade with onions, garlic and spices for poultry and meats. Most popular of all fruits here seems to be the popular brown-skinned mamey (mah-MEYH), whose bright orange pulp is sometimes eaten for gastrointestinal ailments. Also popular are the tiny mamoncillos (mah-monh-SEE-yohs), which at first glance look like small limes. Cuban kids love to crack open the hard green shell like an egg to get at the orange pulp inside. Less common is the brown nispero (NEES-peh-roh), known in some other Latin countries as a zapote negro (zah-POH-teh neh-GROH). More unusual still is the light-green cherimoya (cher-ee-MOY-yah), whose skin is covered with flat, rounded bumps that look like overlapping petals. The cherimoya is also known in English as a custard apple for the custard-like texture of its white pulp. Related to the cherimoya is the guanabana (guah-NAH-bah-nah), or soursop in English, whose light-green skin is covered in spikes instead of petals. Although more commonly grown in drier climes, small pomegranates are occasionally seen in Cuban markets. Known here as granadas (grah-NAH-dahs), they have scores of seeds that look like bright red jewels and can stain a kid's face and clothes within seconds after being popped out of the papery white pulp inside. Also sold in markets, but seemingly unknown to many Cubans, is the yellowish-green star fruit known in other parts of Latin America as the carambola (cahr-ahm-BOH-lah) and here is called a ciruela china (sehr-WEAH-lah) or Chinese plum. Other exotic Cubans include the round, super sweet reddish-purple caimito (kahi-MEE-toh), which some English speakers call a star apple." |

Thanks for the link frank. I may visit Cuba after reading that article. =) |

Corn traders are the most bullish since March on mounting concern that hot and dry weather will curb U.S. yields at a time of accelerating demand from China, the second largest buyer of U.S. farm goods.
Nineteen of 27 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expect prices to gain next week and three were neutral, the highest proportion since March 30. Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, which produce 40 percent of the U.S. crop, are poised for a seventh consecutive month of above-normal temperatures, the most since 1895, T-Storm Weather LLC said yesterday. U.S. export sales of corn surged 83 percent in the week ended May 10, from a week earlier, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show.
Corn jumped 9.1 percent since May 11, heading for the best week in almost a year and rebounding from a slump caused by the USDA predicting a record crop the day before. Hedge funds and other speculators have raised bets on higher prices for two consecutive weeks, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Parts of the Midwest got 25 percent of normal rain in the past two weeks, National Weather Service data show.
"People are starting to get worried about new crop yields," said Nick Higgins, an analyst at Rabobank International in London. "We won't really have a good idea until we see the late June and early July temperatures, because that's when the majority of yields are really decided."
Corn fell 2 percent to $6.3375 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade this year as the USDA forecast a record U.S. harvest of 14.79 billion bushels (376 million metric tons). The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities fell 2.1 percent and the MSCI All-Country World Index (MXWD) of equities is little changed. Treasuries returned 1.4 percent, a Bank of America Corp. index shows.
Chinese Imports
China imported 2.9 million tons of grain from the U.S. since the marketing year began Sept. 1, about nine times more than a year earlier, USDA data show. U.S. corn export sales totaled 865,097 metric tons the week ended May 10, compared with 473,411 a week earlier. The USDA announced April 27 that unknown buyers bought 1.44 million tons of corn, the biggest one-day sale since 1994. China bought $18.85 billion of U.S. farm products in 2011, second to Canada, USDA data show.
September futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange in China closed May 16 at the equivalent of $9.58 a bushel, up 4.9 percent this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. China's cost of importing U.S. corn on May 14 fell to the lowest in two weeks, according to Shanghai JC Intelligence Co., using a formula that includes the price of grain, shipping, import tariffs and other taxes.
National Grain
Rising demand is spurring growers globally to boost output. The USDA estimates world production at 945.78 million tons, the highest ever and 8.7 percent more than a year earlier. China, the biggest producer after the U.S., may harvest a record 197.5 million tons, the China National Grain & Oils Information Center said May 16.
Prospects for the U.S. crop would rebound if the weather improves, Macquarie Group Ltd.'s commodity analysts said yesterday in a report. Farmers typically start harvesting in September. An outlook for rising supplies from the Northern Hemisphere spurred the bank to cut its forecasts to an average of $5.865 for 2012 and $4.65 in 2013. The grain averaged $6.33 so far this year.
Deere Outlook
Deere & Co. (DE:US), the world's largest maker of agricultural equipment, said in its earnings report on May 16 that prices will average $4.85 in the year beginning Sept. 1. The Moline, Illinois-based company had forecast $5.30 in February.
"A year from now certainly I would expect inventories to be much higher than what we're sitting on now," said Chris Narayanan, the head of agricultural commodities research at Societe Generale SA in New York. The USDA is anticipating a 19 percent jump in global stockpiles by the end of the next season.
The anticipated gain in inventories may be constrained by expanding demand. U.S. production of ethanol, derived from corn, climbed to 904,000 barrels a day last week, the most in more than two months, Energy Department data show. The USDA estimates that about 5 billion bushels of the U.S. crop will be used to make the fuel in 2012-13, close to the record 5.02 billion of the 2010-11 season.
U.S. farmers will feed livestock 5.45 billion bushels of corn, 20 percent more than a year earlier, the USDA estimates. China's hog herd, the world's biggest, was 5.5 percent larger in April than a year earlier, the government said May 16.
In other commodities, 13 of 26 traders and analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expect copper to fall next week and five were neutral, marking the most bearish outlook since November.
Metal Exchange
The metal for delivery in three months, the London Metal Exchange's benchmark, fell to a four-month low of $7,625 a ton on May 16 on speculation demand will deteriorate as growth slows in China and concern mounts that Greece will exit the 17-nation euro region. China accounts for 41 percent of global consumption and Europe 18 percent, Barclays Plc estimates.
Gold analysts were bearish for the first time in six weeks, with 13 of 29 people surveyed expecting prices to fall next week. Five were neutral. The metal dropped to $1,526.70 an ounce on May 16 on Comex in New York, the lowest since Dec. 29. Investors are reducing gold holdings in exchange-traded products for a third consecutive month, the longest stretch since 2004, and favoring the dollar, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Raw Sugar
Five of 11 people surveyed said raw sugar will decline next week and one was neutral. The commodity dropped 12 percent to 20.49 cents a pound on ICE Futures U.S. in New York this year. Sixteen of 28 people surveyed anticipate higher soybean prices next week. The oilseed gained 18 percent this year on the CBOT to $14.21 a bushel.
Investors took $1 billion out of commodities last month, with overall assets under management declining to $429 billion from $435 billion in March as prices dropped, Barclays said in a report yesterday.
"A lot of commodities have been sold off on concern about Europe and now increasingly more on China," said Carole Ferguson, an analyst at Fairfax IS Ltd. in London. "When the dust settles, which I think will happen this year, interest in commodities will return."

Trench in waterproof cotton.
I changed a few things – I didn't care for the yokes so I borrowed the ones for the front from one of the other versions of this coat from the magazine and just redrew the back yoke. I used a 42 but took out some ease and did a narrow shoulder adjustment all in one by cutting along the grainlines and overlapping them for a total of 2" taken out of the circumference. Obviously I made a muslin after these changes :) And I left out the piping and made it shorter.

Waterproof cotton raincoating from Gorgeous Fabrics
Mar 7, 2014, 05.22 PMby MrsCharisma
Gorgeous! Several of us are about to do a sew along and I am thinking of using this pattern. I only have 3 yards of fabric so I need (AND WANT TO) make it shorter.
Do you know how many yards you used? I'd probably be sewing some combo of a 42/44.
Aug 17, 2013, 07.39 PMby Irina Schwab
wow, did you actually make that?! Well done!!

Nice! We need trenches right now :) I was thinking about digging out the one I plan to make, because it's a little more fashionable than my big ski coat :P
Jan 30, 2013, 09.17 PMby janellelile
Yeah, no kidding. I'm just trying not to drown when I step out the door. And that was pretty much my reason for wanting a waterproof trench…hoping to not look like such a hot mess in my rain gear :)

Leadership does not mean becoming a political leader or being in the lead in every aspect of life, but to perform to the best of one's ability and making most of the opportunity in a chosen field or aspect of individual interest, speakers said at a Leadership Training programme.
At the inaugural of a two-day leadership training programme being facilitated by M.R. Pai Foundation through skilled trainers from the Forum of Free Enterprise, Mumbai at Maris Stella College here on Friday, the speakers said that obtaining comprehensive knowledge about something that they were interested in and able to work in a team taking along all around them makes them leaders.
Students of the Department of Economics P.G. Course listened with rapt attention the words of wisdom delivered by the two renowned resource persons – Vivek Gangadhar Patki and Vidyanand Joshi, who dwelt at length on Effective Communication and Self-Esteem in two different sessions.
The interactive sessions were more playful than lecturing and listening process with students evincing interest in finding out their own self in the self-esteem session and trying to be positive by pointing out some of the best qualities in their friends and jotting them down to preserve in thoughts. Coming out of the situation where someone is mentally disturbed or coming to stage, where taking some extreme step were very easy opined Mr. Joshi, trains a number of corporate executives.
Fruit Salad – not literally, but a game to improve the communication among the classmates, who otherwise remain dormant and silent with a feeling of no urge for any kind of interaction turned out be the right beginning for the girls. Going on with the effective communications session, Mr. Patki briefed on maintaining proper body language for public speaking and initiated them into such speaking asking them to talk about themselves first, their hobbies and about a song clipping they had heard, which removed all inhibitions among them turning them bolder in matter of few minutes.
The Department Head S. Subbalakshmi explained the purpose of the Leadership Training and the Vice-Principal Lorry Jacob welcomed the guests and thanked them for training their students. The special guest of the day was Gita R. Pai, wife of renowned activist and journalist M.R. Pai. She sat through the session and encouraged students. Others present included Josephine Sandhya Rani of Maris Stella and Swati Kapadia of the FFE.

A poodle gets stuck in a car grill for 11 miles. CNN's Jeanne Moos reports on critters taking similar rides.
Where is the Rawling's gentleman and Donna Brazile? I haven't seen them on CNN lately. I may have been missing them, because I'm one of the 47% African American, who work during the day! Although we the people, know you newscasters, and commentary people are doing what "everyone is doing", and that's trying to "SELL NEWS" to your to viewers, you newscasters need to tell the truth. Al Sharpton, was the only person who spoke the real truth about what went on Thursday night. Eventhough Mitt Romney came out strong, and overspoke the President, and got his supporters fired up, HE WAS LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH THE WHOLE TIME!!! And if President Obama's demeamor hadn't distracted most of us, we would have seen that President Obama, was letting Mitt Romney dig his own hole. All we Americans saw, was that Gov. Romney was pumped up, he took charge, he was in command. But, was anyone really listening? Mitt Romney wasn't worth 5 cents, because he was lying the whole time. He's always talking out of both sides of his mouth. How can YOU be able to trust someone who's goning to say one thing one day, and say something else another day? He has yet to "fully explain", how he's going to accomplish, all these objectives, he says he's gong to do. And the majority of you newscasters are already printing that President Obama wasn't the reason the unemployment dropped in the month of September. People just aren't looking for work. Can someone give this man some credit for something? Again, this man is not GOD. We didn't get in this mess in 4 years. Why in the world do we expect this man to get us out of the mess in 4 years!
Good story about Road Grill.

Kia Sorento Prices Paid and Buying Experience
hosed Posts: 1Just purchased a Sorento LX 4 cyl, AWD w/3rd row for 26,514 (sticker 27,102) less 1500 finance rebate, 750 competitive rebate. I went in and didnt haggle because a wholesaler for KIA I know made a call for me to get the most discount available, im thinking I got hosed after reading this thread. I usually go in with both barrels loaded and all my homework done to haggle and get the best price. Any thoughts? I bought North of Boston Ma
lawyerbill1968 Posts: 1I posted a thread back in June prior to purchasing this model. The out the door price was $28700. This car does not have moonroof (which they told me didn't exist in production until I landed one!) Other than that, the car had everything else! I got the beautiful interior known as the DOVE (black/grey combo) After owning a BMW X5, I couldn't be happier with my KIA!
Best part of it is that ....
I am leasing the car for 3 years , 15,000 miles / year for $424 (including tax)/month. I negotiated with 9 different dealership and finally figured out what the car sold for, and then got lucky when the finance guy lower my payments "accidentally" by another $33/month = $1200 more savings. I couldn't have signed the agreement fast enough!!! -
skneussle Posts: 2There is a reason to be. I am an airline pilot and literally shopped most of the country for the best deal on a Sorento this past March. Many of these prices posted on the thread are too good to be true, so I decided to look into it further and this is what I found out.
First of all, quotes don't mean anything. What you are interested in is the out the door price after the purchaser has signed the dotted line.
Many people are reporting a lower out the door price when the price has been adjusted due to their higher interest rate and payment schedule.
The dealer will lower the price for customers financing the vehicle for higher payments. People with bad credit or low credit scores are going to pay higher interest rates. A third party finance company will pay the dealer incentives for signing these customers up to compensate for price adjustments made to seal the deal.
Typically, you will see people with the worse credit reporting the lowest prices for the vehicle. However, they are making up for it with their higher payments and interest rates and the dealer is being compensated by the financing company.
Bottom line, don't rely on the prices posted on this thread.
Do your own homework and be sure to ask about dealer's fees and delivery fees from the start. These vary dealer to dealer and can greatly effect the price. Dealers always give you a good "quote" to get you to the table. Once the ink is about to hit the paper, it is amazing to see how things can change. Trust me! I started in AL and then chased "better quotes" to Maine, California and ended up in GA.
Good luck! -
78mikec78 Posts: 2@lawyerbill1968 = What was the residual value of the car after the 3 years? It looks like you got a smoking deal on this and we are trying to negotiate on one right now. I was trying to find your post in June though I couldn't. Any more details on this would be very helpful!!!
Thanks! -
edl2 Posts: 35Just picked up my Sorento yesterday. All I can say is shop shop and shop some more. The prices that I was quoted varied so widely it was ridiculous. I either went to or contacted 6 different dealerships. Here are the details on the Sorento that I purchased.
2013 EX AWD 6 Cylinder with the premium package 2. Also included was the rear bumper protector, black cross bar and the cargo net. Bottom line total MSRP including destination charges was 34,180.00
I qualified for all incentives and in order to get some of the financing incentive I financed 11,500 at 1.9% for 36 mths. This got me a 500.00 finance rebate. I will pay the financed amount after I make 3 payments
Bottom line on an MSRP of 34,180.00 my final cost was 28,330 plus taxes and tags . I felt this was a very fair deal after all the others dealerships I had been give quotes from. Cant emphasize enough do your homework and shop you will save a lot of money. Also be aware of some dealer tricks that I ran into. A couple of dealers had a separate MSRP over and above the manufacturers MSRP. They would add a few minor things on their own like side steps ..free inspections for 5 years..1st free oil change.....and charge up to 4,000 additional. Good luck to all -
78mikec78 Posts: 2I haven't heard or seen a "Premium Package 2"?? I even went to the Kia website and don't know what that is either. Besides the regular premium package, what else came with it besides the "rear bumper protector, black cross bar and the cargo net".
Also what state are you in (that has helped me in the past negotiate prices).
I am trying to work some deals also and everything helps!
Thanks! -
edl2 Posts: 35On the MSRP it shows as Premium package 2 but it is the only premium package available on this model. Package has
Surround sound audio system
heated front seats
power passenger seat
50/50 third row
auto dimming mirror
panoramic sunroof
First Aid Kit
this one also came with Rear bumper protector
cross bars
cargo net
Everything else is standard on the EX model that we wanted
Bought it in the Dark Cherry with the Beige/Black interior looks real sharp
eastern part of Pa.......Good luck glad to help out if any other questions!! -
edl2 Posts: 35I got the competetive car rebate ...military..Kia rebate and 500.00 financing rebate because I financed 11.5k for 36mths at 1.9%over ..total rebates were 3,000 which is the max $$ amount you can get...price included the 800.00 dealer destination and prep..my bottom line price was 28,300 plus tax and tags on MSRP sticker of 34,180
All dealerships have something different. Mine extended powertram warranty to 10 yrs 200k miles..free lifetime inspections.....free first oil change -
blutop Posts: 5Hi can you tell me which dealership in Anaheim? I'm in Los Angeles, and trying to buy in the next month. I'm looking for the base EX in white as well. Also, did you purchase, finance or lease, and if you leased, could you share the residual on your vehicle? I'm leaning toward leasing.... thanks!
side_show_tom Posts: 22I just bought my Sorento in August. 2013 SX with Premium package, AWD. Got the best price from KIA of Sherman Oaks. It is part of the Casa group that owns Casa de Cadillac. I got nothing but BS from KIA of downtown LA. Got a great quote from KIA of Ventura too. Also tried KIA of Santa Ana. Sherman Oaks had the best deal overall. Good luck, love my car!
hpt84 Posts: 12013 Kia LX, I4, no roof rack, cargo cover, very basic. 18500 out the door with trade in at 2.99% financing. I think the final trade in value was 4500, so 23000 out the door with no trade in. Dealership originally valued my trade in at 3500. I went to dealership A and they offered 21000 otd. A week later, I went to dealership B and haggled them to 20,000 otd and I walk out the dealership. The next day, I called dealership A and told them to beat the price and they offer 19000 otd. Call back dealership B on the same day and got them to offer 18500 otd. Take your time and go back and front between dealership to get the best price. An extra day save me 1500. Remember that whenever you walk out you lose nothing. They will stand by their last offer. Each time I walk out the sale manager stop me and offer a better deal.
Edit: original MSRP around 26,000 -
blutop Posts: 5thanks for the info dbuilder (and also, side show tom). dbuilder, did you use Authority Auto or another broker? I am using Authority Auto but they can only get me into a Base EX (not the V6) for 27,150 out the door - this only has the extra option of homelink rear view by the way.
They say I can't get lower... just wondering your opinion and if you liked your broker experience. thanks! -
dbuilder Posts: 5It sounds very similar deal you got.
My sorento is also base EX v6 plus trunk net, trunk cover(?) and homelink with compass.
I remember there was only $600 difference between GDI-4 and v6 model.
Considering What I paid ($28,500 OTD), you've got as good as mine.
By the way, v6 mpg is not as good as shown on the report.
I am a mild driver and I reads around 18 mpg city. -
blutop Posts: 5Thanks dbuilder,
I also have a $1000 lease rebate on top of that, and of course, we here in California have to deal with an extra $800 as part of our price quote due to emissions here that are different than other states (and different sales tax) so perhaps that's the difference between the prices we got and the other couple of respondents here.
I knew I'd get better gas mileage with the V4, and I'm not hauling too much, so yeah... I heard that it wasn't as good as reported (but then again, when are they!) - there was someplace in the forums that I read you need to let them "break-in" before you start seeing the higher mpg, so maybe there's a little light at the end of that tunnel?
Thanks again! -

The poll of 1,110 people had a margin of error of 3 percentage points, Adimark said. Pinera's approval rating was 27 percent in August, the research group said in a Sept. 5 report.

"Did not work for me"
don't know, only needed it to convert some GIF files to JPEG file, and that didn't work
Program says it converts, but I couldn't get it to convert at all. I needed to convert some GIF files on my mom's computer, as she got a new computer and the new computer would not transfer the GIF files to the new computer. This program either really sucks, or its not easy to convert files, as it seems it should be... I tried for several hours to convert the files and they would not convert
I would not recommend this program to anyone. It either does not work or it is to hard to do

The meat does not need to be seared in skillet first to make this fall-apart tender, pulled BBQ beef for sandwiches. This recipe has so much flavor no one will notice the Worcestshire sauce & the salt were deleted to reduce sodium (you may also use low-sodium catsup and BBQ to reduce sodium further). Using molasses instead of brown sugar and Worcestshire gives a depth of flavor and authenticity, while reducing sugar & sodium. It is great to take to picnics, buffets, or tailgating. Freezes well.

Meyler moves to Hull on loan
Sunderland midfielder David Meyler has teamed up with former manager Steve Bruce at Hull City after joining on loan for the rest of the year.
The 23-year-old will also rejoin Black Cats teammate Ahmed Elmohamady, who is also on loan with the Tigers, in training with the Championship club.
Meyler has struggled to make an impact on the first team stage under O'Neill since recovering from a knee injury.
He joined in 2008 from Cork City and made his first team debut under Bruce in December 2009. The Ireland international has made five appearances for Sunderland this season.

Re: Will the nexus 7 from US work in the UK?
Yes you would be limited on the market to UK. They are the same models sent to UK or US .There is an app that you can use called tunnel bear to make it act like its in the us but I don't know if that works on playstore. And returning may be a Hassl if you have to send it back to US as there seems to be a few that have issues but 32 GB should be better idk I have 16

3. Everything / Sports / Sports / Motor Sports Drag Racing in the UK Two 'hot rod' cars pull up to the start line and the engines rumble and throb as the drivers stare intently at the set of traffic lights ahead of them. They change from amber to green and in a howl of noise and tyre smoke, the two cars shoot off to cross a finish line some quarter of a mile away. We've all seen drag racing in films and on the television, but this is purely an American phenomenon, surely? Wrong! There is a healthy drag race scene in the UK and it is growing every year, possibly because it's such a feast for all the senses. The sight of the brightly painted and beautiful vehicles, the sounds of the roaring engines, the smells of the burnt rubber and nitromethane... It's a truly all-enveloping, magical experience, made even more so for the kids by the degree of approachability of the cars, drivers and crews in the pits, enabling the young fans1 to meet their heroes and see the machines up close. Coupled with the low cost of a race meet, a weekend 'at the strip' is an event a family of petrolheads should experience. History Even before the First World War, drivers were running their cars as fast as possible down the seafront road Madeira Drive2 in Brighton. The Brighton Speed Trials, which are still held today, are not head-to-head races; instead, they are individually timed straight line sprints. These motor sprints became very popular in Britain and after the Second World War there were a number of timed motor sprint races running on the disused military airfields across Britain. The first races we would recognise as drag races occurred at the runway of the old airfield at Long Marston, just outside Stratford-upon-Avon, in 1959. Technically, it was still a timed sprint, but for the first time a pair of cars ran straight up the runway. Everything changed in 1963 when the first American hot rod cars started to appear in the UK. As the American sport of drag racing caught on in the States, people started to import cars into the UK for racing. As more and more people took part in (and watched) the sport, drag races on old airstrips became a regular occurrence around the country; it wasn't long before a dedicated track would appear. This happened in 1966 when the old US Airforce runway near the village of Poddington in Northamptonshire was converted into a proper track, dedicated to drag racing. Now known as Santa Pod, after the famous American drag strip at Santa Ana, the 'Pod' soon became the European home of drag racing. As early as 1974, cars that were capable of running at 200mph were imported from the States, but it wasn't until 1989 that things started to really take off. In that year, Long Marston changed its name to Avon Park and laid down a full quarter-mile strip to American National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) standards. With this new track at Avon Park and a decent track at Santa Pod, the sport was set to develop into the cars and championships we have today. Bracket Racing So how does it work? Is it really just two cars pulling up to a line and then flooring it, with the first car crossing the line as the winner? Well sometimes, but not often. Most drag races, and certainly the races in a championship series, use a method of drag racing called bracket racing. This is basically a method of handicapping the quicker cars and it works like this: In the pits before the race both drivers will declare an 'ET' or 'elapsed time': this is an estimate of how long it will take them to race down the strip. Let's say, for example, driver A estimates it will take him 18 seconds3. This becomes his 'dial-in' time 4 and it is usually written with a chalk marker pen on the side window of his car for the spectators' benefit. In this example, driver B has decided to go for a dial-in time of ten seconds5 and the pair of them will move from the pits down to the track to race. After the previous race, the marshals will be frantically cleaning the track, since a single piece of debris or oil spill can cause major problems. The marshals can often be seen mopping the tarmac; this isn't water they are spreading on the track, but a sticky, glue-like substance to improve traction. Finally, once the track is prepared and declared safe, a marshal will call the drivers up to the starting area from the 'pairing lanes' where they have been waiting. The two drivers will pull up into the starting area together and the two ETs will be displayed on big screens for the spectators. As the tension begins to mount, both drivers will do a 'burn out'; that is, a deliberate wheelspin designed to heat up the tyre rubber to a hot and sticky race temperature. When satisfied that everything is ready, each driver's crew chief will start to direct the driver towards the start line. By now both drivers will be staring intently at the set of traffic lights (known as the 'Christmas Tree'), sat on a concrete island between the two race lanes. At the top of the tree are four pairs (two pairs for each lane) of small white or yellow 'staging' lights. Below these are the six amber lights that form the starting lights: again, these are split into three lights for each lane. The next bulb down is a green 'Go' light for each lane, followed by a red 'False Start' light for each lane. By creeping forward towards the start line, the front wheels will eventually break an infrared beam. This causes the topmost pair of staging lights to illuminate; this is known as 'pre-stage'. This shows the drivers that they are approaching the start line. Now they will continue inching forward until the next beam is broken and the next pair of staging lights illuminates. This means that the car is precisely at the start line and ready to go. As soon as pre-stage and stage lights on both lanes are lit, the race is ready to start. After a short delay, the car with the slower dial-in time will have its own set of starting amber lights illuminated in one of two ways. In the normal way, known as 'Full Tree', each light will illuminate in turn with a 0.5-second delay between each light, this forms the countdown before finally the green 'Go' light illuminates. In some race series, a 'Pro Tree' is used: with this system, the amber starting lights don't count down but instead illuminate all at once before extinguishing before the green bulb illuminates. Whichever system is used, as soon as the driver gets the green light, he's free to start and will accelerate hard up the track; this is known as the 'launch'. Going back to the example now: Driver A had a dial-in of 18 seconds and Driver B had a dial-in of ten seconds, this is now just a case of simple mathematics: 18 minus ten leaves eight seconds; so Driver B will therefore be sitting waiting for his starting lights and his green 'Go' light for eight agonising seconds before he, too, is allowed to launch. In theory, if both drivers drive a perfect race, they will cross the line at exactly the same time. In practice, what usually happens is, that either one car is much slower than its dial-in time and loses, or one car is faster than its dial-in time. If it goes faster, this is called 'breaking out' and a driver that breaks out is disqualified from the race. Other than crashing, the final way to lose is - as very occasionally happens - an eager driver will launch before the green light is lit. By jumping the start, the red light will illuminate and the driver will automatically be disqualified. The end result of this handicap means that you can have some very close results but also some spectacular encounters. The sight of a slow van chugging away up the strip for ten seconds before some fire-breathing monster of a drag car launches and accelerates, passing a slow moving van is amazing to behold. Championships and Cars Drag racing in the UK tends to be organised by a number of drag race clubs. These clubs are monitored by The Motor Sport Association (MSA), Britain's motorsport governing body, which is in turn licensed by the world governing body, the Fé dé ration Internationale De L'Automobile (FIA). The range of clubs is immense, and with a limited number of weekends throughout the racing year6 and a limited number of tracks, any race weekend is likely to be hosting a number of different rounds from different championship series. With a variety of series running on any one weekend, the fan will presumably see a wide range of cars. There are also race weekends dedicated to specific manufacturers, such as Vauxhall or Ford. This means that for the average petrolhead, the range of machinery on show is startling. On any one weekend some of the following cars and race series can be found at any racetrack: Volkswagen Drag Racing Club The VWDRC runs three different categories for all old VWs. Often competing at VW festivals as well as normal race weekends, the VWDRC is a very friendly club which runs some frankly insane vehicles. The sight of a 30-year-old Beetle or Beach Buggy screaming up the track in under 12 seconds is amazing. Yet they are not all so quick; the VW Sportsman class is open to all stock and slightly modified air-cooled Volkswagens, which can run passes anywhere between 13 to 18 seconds. The VW Pro is open to the fast cars capable of running times in the 11 and 12 second range. The third category is the alternate engine which enables the stock, air-cooled VW Beetle to swap its power plant for any engine from a V8 monster to a turbo powered Subaru Impreza unit. Outlaw Anglias The Outlaw Anglia class of cars was formed in 1992 to cover all Ford cars with a 'sit up and beg' body style. These were models such as the Ford Anglia, the Ford Popular and the Ford Prefect.7 They have proved very popular with the fans, as the little cars produce some stunning results. They are often heavily modified with big V8 engines and produce equally big burnouts! The ET and Super Series These cars are part of the National Drag Race Championships and are separated into six race series covering a huge range of cars, classed according to their dial-in times:
The Super Series is similarly divided:
Street Eliminator This is one of the most popular categories. The cars must be street-legal, and in order to qualify, they are taken for a drive on a public road and filled up at a normal petrol station by the scrutineers before the competition. It can be great to live near a track when a convoy of fire-breathing cars comes spitting and growling onto your local filling station forecourt. The cars can be anything from old American cars to modified modern Jaguars, yet engines are almost always transplanted with huge V8s. In this category huge really does mean huge as it is not unusual to see cars running with an 11-litre engine clocking up quarter-mile times in the low eight-second region. Stock to Modified Bikes Just as with the car races, there is a series of races open to motorbikes. The first is the stockish 9.5 Bikes. This is, as the name suggests, open to any bike able to travel 9.5 seconds or slower, this generally means stock bikes with just some simple tweaks such as nitrous oxide induction. The slightly higher category of super street bike allows for the bike's frame to be stretched out8 and for turbos and big nitrous installs. Pro Stock and Pro Modified These are full-on hot rod cars, and are usually no longer road-legal. They may once have been based on a normal road car, but now they sport full Chrome-Moly tube chassis, huge V8 engines with nitrous oxide systems and big fat tyres running on custom suspension and drive systems. With a running time in the six to eight second categories, these are the fastest cars with a standard steel body you can run. Top Methanol Dragsters and Funny Cars Forming part of the European Top Methanol Association, these cars look just like you'd expect a dragster to look, with big rear wheels, a huge rear wing, a long body with tiny front wheels and a big engine running methanol racing alcohol instead of gasoline. Compared to the fastest Top Fuel dragsters, the cars are quite slow, yet they are still stunning and capable of runs in the five to seven-second region. Top Methanol funny cars use the same engines as Top Methanol dragsters, with the exception that they run in a light carbon or glass fibre body, designed to look vaguely like a US saloon car. This means that they have a much shorter wheelbase than a normal dragster and the engine sits in front of the driver, which creates a car that is a lot less stable at high speeds than a normal dragster! Junior Dragster Before going over to the 'best of the best', the Junior Dragsters series has got to be mentioned. These little cars look just like scaled-down versions of the big Top Fuel Dragsters. An alternative to a go-kart, the cars use a kart engine, and although they do carry engine restrictions, the real restriction is on the competitors' ages. With the age limit starting at eight years old for the low power category and up to 17 years old for the higher power, these little cars are designed to get kids involved in the sport at an early age. Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars These are amongst the fastest cars on earth. Most people, if asked to imagine a dragster, will think of the style of cars from the FIA European Top Fuel Championship . Like the methanol cars, these cars don't run on petrol: instead they burn a heady concoction of 15% methanol and 85% nitromethane (CH3NO2). A normal engine works by combining the petrol (gasoline) with air to achieve combustion. To increase the rate of combustion and therefore the engine power, you need to increase the amount of air within the combustion chamber. By doing this, more petrol can be injected and burnt within the cylinders and therefore more power is created. This can be done by pumping more air (oxygen) into the combustion chamber with a super or turbo-charger or by adding the oxygen chemically in the form of nitrous oxide (N2O). A top fuel engine adds another level to this, by combining the burning part of the fuel with the oxygen into a chemical nitromethane. It is a bit like pre-mixing petrol with nitrous oxide and means that you get about twice as much power burning nitromethane compared to burning petrol, with the same amount of air. There are a few downsides, apart from the costs, one of which is that one of the exhaust byproducts is chemically very similar to ortho-chlorobenzylmalononitrile or, as it is better known, CS Gas.9 Of course, to create the really wild amounts of power found in a top fuel dragster they also add a supercharger to ram even more air into the combustion chamber. This makes the abilities of a top fuel car stunning.
A top fuel funny car is much like a methanol funny car; it is basically a top fuel dragster on a shortened chassis and with a replica body. The lack of stability and the huge power of these cars makes them unpredictable to drive, but fun to watch! Top Fuel Bikes Anything that can be done on four wheels can be done equally well on two, they say... and the nitromethane bikes prove it. There are two race categories here: the 'slightly slower' super twin top fuel bikes, which are usually based around a Harley Davidson V twin engine but running nitromethane, producing six-second passes with a maximum speed of 200mph, and the 'big boys', the Union Europé enne de Motocyclisme (UEM) top fuel bikes; these stretched bikes can be ten feet long and are quite capable of producing 1,000bhp and running five to six second passes. Jet Cars These beasts do not usually run in race championships; instead they generally perform just for the entertainment of the crowd, something they truly excel at. Jet cars, as the name implies, work by literally bolting a jet aircraft engine into a funny car body. The Firestorm car, for example, uses a General Electric J85 Turbo-jet from the F5 Freedom Fighter supersonic strike aircraft. This engine generates 5,000lb of thrust in full afterburn or the equivalent of 10,000 bhp. The jet car will be towed to the start line by the pit crew support car and the tension will begin to increase slowly as the mechanics carry out their final checks. After what seems like an age, in a cloud of smoke the jet engine will burst into life and the driver will then probably blast a few flames out of the rear and check that everything is running fine. By now, the entire audience will generally be standing in awe and with their fingers in their ears. The noise is unbelievably loud; in fact it is felt as a rumble in the ground almost as much as it is heard. Finally, when everything is okay, the car will creep up to the staging area and the Christmas Tree will light up. The car will then proceed to show you that what you thought was loud earlier was nothing but a little light chamber music compared to the rock concert it's about to unleash. In an 'ear-bleedingly' loud crack the afterburner will kick in, the ground will shake like an earthquake and this four-wheeled missile will streak up the track in around three to five seconds. The petrolhead inside you meanwhile will be crying with joy and you'll soon be willing to sell your own mother just for the chance to see it again! Run What Ya Brung One of the advantages of drag racing is that for low speed cars it is 'relatively' safe. With no bends in a course, a novice driver simply has to mash the accelerator to the floor and hold the car straight while accelerating up a strip10. The companies running the dragstrips soon realised this and started to open the track to the public during race meets and eventually into specific 'Run What Ya Brung', or RWYB days. Anyone can turn up in their road car and as long as they have a full driving licence and the car passes the strip's safety check, it'll be allowed to drag race for a small fee11. Crash helmets are not usually mandatory unless the car is very fast, but they are recommended and you should always wear a seat belt and long-sleeved clothing. Motorcycles are also allowed at most RYWB days, but you must be wearing full leather protection and a crash helmet. Once your run is finished you will receive a ticket known as a timing slip; this will state your opponent's12 and your own overall time down the strip. This number, known as your elapsed time, or ET, will show who the winner was if it was a close race. The ticket will also include the top speed you were travelling when you crossed the quarter-mile line13, as well as two other pieces of information: one will be your 60-feet time which shows how well you accelerated from the start: a poor time here could mean you lost a lot of traction and hence speed because of wheel-spinning. The other will be your reaction time, this is the time it will have taken you from the light going green to you actually moving off the line14. Where to do it There are currently a few dedicated dragstrips in the UK. The king of them all is Santa Pod or just 'The Pod' as it is known. As the oldest strip, this track has the most infrastructures in terms of grandstands and buildings, but like most of the venues around the country, facilities are still rather primitive compared to some of the 'normal' motor racing circuits in the country. The track near the village of Long Marston in Warwickshire changed its name in the 1990s to the Shakespeare County Raceway, there are also tracks at York Dragway on the old Melbourne Airfield near Seaton Ross, Yorkshire, Crail Raceway ten minutes South of St Andrews, Scotland and Henstridge Park in Somerset. A number of airfields and race tracks around the country also run RWYB days throughout the year while the dedicated tracks usually have at least one RWYB day a month throughout the summer for the petrolhead in you. Have fun and remember... Don't 'break out'!
