That is re-assuring news as far as warranty coverage from Panasonic. Just wondering
when registering product for warranty do you select Amazon.com for seller or other? And if this is a return, and say the previous owner already registered TV ,would that prevent you from registering product again? Mine was not open-box, but used- like new. I didn't see any open box specified. Last edited by chipmonkey; 03-06-2013 at 11:27 AM.. |
I ordered the like new version, and am rather disappointed. Lots of dents, some small some large on the back panel, and on the thin top and sides...nothing that anyone can see of course, but still, not really expecting that of a like new. It also didn't have the remote, batteries came, but no remote.
Oh, and it was in an amazon warehouse box, not original. |
I returned mine because of the dead pixel. If you feel comfortable keeping it I would chat with an Amazon support rep and complain. I did last night just to see what it would get me and they offered me $75 credit to keep the TV with zero prodding on my end. If it weren't for the pixel i would have taken them up on it, would easily pay for a Square Trade warranty. |
That being said, Amazon is awesome on returns. Since you ordered Like new you can, with a clear conscience, return it if it has even the slightest scratch. |
I too got "Like New" and was also disappointed. First off, I was surprised to see that FedEx left my TV sitting on my snowy porch in 30 degree weather today--who knows how long it was out there for. The box was not the original and had some minor damage, but nothing too extreme. It included a hand filled in printout that they used to recertify it saying there was no damage on the front or back.
Once I got it out of the box, the front wasn't bad, but the bead around the bezel was cracked in a couple places. The back was a nightmare--there were at least 10 good size dents, 2 very large dents (to the point where it was pushing up against the guts of the TV), and what looked like a puncture which was covered up by black tape. Maybe it would have worked fine, but I didn't turn it on after I read that you may have to pay for shipping if you powered it up. I called Amazon and they processed the return in about five minutes. They never asked if I powered it up and they never offered a discount. Even if they would have, I probably would have declined--this thing looked like the back was facing a driving range. I doubt I'll be purchasing anything from Amazon Warehouse again. |
I bought one "like new" as well. It was delivered today and came in amazon box. It looks brand new, no dents, no missing parts, all the tapes around the bezel are still intact.
The description says 60hz but it doesn't feel like 60hz, but it doesn't feel like 120hz either, it's better than my 3-year-old LG TV tho. It's a great deal! Last edited by homeless76; 03-08-2013 at 12:57 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
I just received mine. UPS threw the box on my porch. The box has been opened. All of the foam blocks holding the TV in place were moved and were no longer doing anything to protect the TV. The corner of the unit is completely smashed in (shipping, I assume). Contacting Amazon now about this... It's going to be a pain to get sent back...
My TV arrived yesterday in a very large Warehouse Deals box with lots of padding. There was nothing broken, no dents, no dead pixels. Unfortunately, I am missing the stand, which is an inconvenience.
I also checked the usage timer in the service menu--only 51 minutes. I'm guessing I lucked out with this one. |
Got my tv in and mounted on the wall. I also got the like new and it had a couple dents on the back but everything else was mint condition. Looks like someone ordered it and returned it as soon as they saw the dent.
The TV itself is beautiful. Great picture, great features. Connected this wirelessly to my network using a netgear wireless bridge. Netflix streams perfectly and so does my DLNA box. For the price, I think this was a steal. |
I've dropped more than one LCD on concrete and they don't have anywhere near that damage. |
I am going to return it, too much risk with the way this thing has been handled. How do you check total hours usage on these TVs, is there a service menu? |
What is the advice on returning item without incurring shipping cost?
I can choose to return item when I log in to my account but haven't gone far enough to get to shipping label. Should I speak to them by phone or just send it back via the return process and print UPS label. It says it will refund within 2 days of receiving item back in warehouse. From the comments, it seems everyone spoke to a rep that wanted a refund or credit. I don't want to be charged shipping . |

What's the Latest?
Where is Dirt Factory up to? Here we go…
The team are working on attracting investment and fundraising to launch the UK's first indoor MTB and BMX centre – in Manchester. We believe the best way forward is to form a funding syndicate.
We have £25,000k of our own money. We are now searching for other parties to build upon that foundation. This could be equity investment, grant money, donations or crowd funding. All pledges will help raise the money we need.
The site we have identified in Manchester is still available, we have the permission to go ahead from the landlord and council subject to our contract – the venue is perfect so we don't want to see it go.
We have held meetings with private investors, who potentially are very interested, but we must raise capital from other sources before they get involved – they are providing us with ongoing business advice too.
We are now speaking with potential sponsors, we have two meetings lined up already. We are also pursuing Nesta and crowd funding platforms to help raise the required capital.
It's a big jigsaw puzzle. We are confident that once we receive our first supporters pledge, the rest will start falling in place.
If you know anyone or have any thoughts on our above strategy, drop us a comment below.
Cheers, and big props to all our supporters.

VATICAN CITY — The sexual abuse scandal has tarnished the image of the priest and contributed to a crisis of priestly vocations in the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican said on June 25, while also faulting a widespread "secularized mentality" and parents' ambition for their children, which leaves "little space to the possibility of a call to a special vocation."
The "Pastoral Guidelines for Fostering Vocations to Priestly Ministry" were prepared over the last seven years by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education [6].
The document says candidates to the priesthood shouldn't be accepted if they show "signs of being profoundly fragile personalities," and says future priests should learn the "importance" of their future commitments, "in particular with regard to celibacy."
The guidelines acknowledge that "in many places the choice of celibacy is questioned" and say that such "erroneous opinions within the church" are responsible for a "lack of appreciation" for those who make the choice to remain celibate.
In fact, Western culture, with its "indifference to the Christian faith," is "unable to understand the value of vocations to a special consecration."
Data presented by the congregation's undersecretary, the Rev. Angelo Vincenzo Zani, show that priestly vocations over the last 10 years fell sharply in Europe. They remained stable in North and South America and rose significantly in Asia and Africa, though still not enough to offset the rapid growth in Catholics' numbers worldwide.

Sophomore linebacker Kiko Alonso was cited this morning for driving under the influence.
The incident took place about 14 hours after a press conference at which UO coach Chip Kelly addressed a recent string of player arrests.
Alonso, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound native of Los Gatos, Calif., finished his redshirt freshman season of 2009 with 16 tackles. He had three through six games, playing sparingly as the backup to middle linebacker Casey Matthews. But Alonso played more frequently on defense late in the season and also made significant contributions on the Ducks' kickoff coverage team.
Alonso beat out Brandon Hanna for reps behind Matthews on defense. Should Alonso ultimately face disciplinary action, the Ducks should still be in relatively good shape at his position. Hanna can play behind Matthews at middle linebacker, as can Bryson Littlejohn and Dewitt Stuckey.
On his present course, however, Alonso was the top candidate to replace Matthews as the starter in the middle for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

US construction up 1.2 percent in FebruaryBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press | April 02,2013AP PHOTO
Heavy machinery work at a commercial construction site in Newtown, Pa. Spending on U.S. construction projects rebounded in February, helped by a surge in home construction.WASHINGTON Spending on U.S. construction projects rebounded in February, helped by a surge in home construction, which rose to the highest level in more than four years.
Construction spending rose 1.2 percent overall in February compared to January, when construction had dropped 2.1 percent, the Commerce Department reported Monday.
Spending rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $885.1 billion, which was 7.9 percent higher than a year ago.
The advance was led by a 2.2 percent rise in private residential construction, which climbed to an annual rate of $303.4 billion, the best showing since November 2008. Private nonresidential construction was up 0.4 percent while public construction rose 0.9 percent.
Construction spending is expected to keep growing this year, fueled by more homebuilding and broader improvement in the economy.
For all of 2012, construction spending increased 9.8 percent, marking the first annual gain after five straight years of declines. Construction spending is still well below healthy levels. But it is slowly coming back, led by a recovery in housing that looks to be strengthening this year.
Steady hiring and nearly record-low mortgage rates have encouraged more Americans to buy homes. More people are also moving out on their own after living with friends and relatives in the recession. Thats driving a big gain in apartment construction and also pushing up rents.
In February, spending on single-family construction rose 4.3 percent, helping to offset a 2.2 percent drop in apartment construction. Residential activity is now 20.1 percent above where it was a year ago.
The small 0.4 percent rise in nonresidential construction in February followed a 5.9 percent plunge in January.
The February gains were led by a 4.8 percent rise in office construction and a 3.1 percent increase in health care, a category that covers hospitals and doctors clinics.
The 0.9 percent rise in public construction reflected a 1.1 percent increase in state and local government building. Federal construction dropped by 1.1 percent following a 2.1 percent decline in January.
In February, U.S. homebuilders requested permits for future construction at the fastest pace in 4 1/2 years. And they started to build single-family homes at the fastest pace in that time period.
With sales of new homes and previously owned homes trending higher, the increased demand has helped push home prices up. U.S. home prices rose 8.1 percent for the 12 months that ended in January, according to the Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller 20-city index. Prices rose in all 20 cities surveyed and eight markets posted double-digit gains.
Rising home prices are expected to encourage more people to put their homes on the market. The market has been held back by a low supply of available homes for sales.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON The Smithsonian Institution, the worlds largest museum and research complex, is...

25 Secret European Villages
Courtesy of www.discoverireland.com
Roundstone, Ireland
No blackberries could taste better than the ones picked along the winding lanes of Roundstone. But even the berry-averse will find reasons to love this 19th-century fishing village. Climb Errisbeg Hill for a clear view of Connemara National Park's Twelve Bens: a mountain range rising over a vast peat bog. In case of rain—always in Ireland's cards—head to Malachy Kearns's shop, which sells handmade bodhran (Irish drums), or dry off by the fire at O'Dowds bar with a kit (a pint of Guinness and a shot of Irish whiskey).
How to Get There: From Galway, it's a 76-mile drive.
Where to Stay: Family-run Cashel House Hotel (doubles from $220), on 50 acres, is just a few miles east of Roundstone.
Where to Eat: Join anglers in the bar at Ballynahinch Castle Hotel or at O'Dowds.

A special no thanks for being flank
from GZA (Ft. Ol' Dirty Bastard) – Crash Your Crew Lyrics on Genius
I believe GZA means that someone in the music industry, perhaps an artist, is not being acknowledged for his efforts. He's painting this supposed artist as a "flank", though if this is the correct wording, "flanker" wouldn't have rhymed but would have made more sense.

- Conference date: 8–12 July 2012
- Location: Ann Arbor, MI USA
In this study, we have performed non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations to investigate thermal transport properties of 'model' bi-component helical nanowires. The results indicate that significant reduction in thermal conductivity, similar to that of flat superlattice nanostructures, can be achieved using a helical geometric configuration. The reduction is attributed to a plethora of transmissive and reflective phonon scattering events resulting from the steady alteration of phonon propagating direction that emerges from the continuous rotation of the helical interface. We also show that increasing the relative mass ratio of the two components lowers the phonon energy transmission at the interface (differences in vibrational frequency spectrum), thereby relatively 'easing' the phonon energy propagation along the helical pathway. While the proposed mechanisms result in a reduced lattice thermal conductivity, the continuous nature of the bi-component nanowire would not be expected to significantly reduce its electrical counterpart, as often occurs in superlattice/alloy nanostructures. Hence, we believe that the helical configuration of atomic arrangement should be a very attractive, general approach for improved thermoelectric material assemblies independent of the specific chemical composition.

Welcome to the North Dakota / Minnesota EB-5 Regional Center. We put the power of EB-5 within your reach—turning business potential into progress and U.S. residency into reality.
Our Purpose:
- Stimulate economic development, create new jobs, and improve regional productivity through direct foreign investment in North Dakota and Minnesota
- Make EB-5 investments easy, transparent, and successful
For many foreigners, dreams to immigrate to the United States of America are less about a place to live, but rather the endless opportunities that come with U.S. residency. In fact, immigrants today share many of the same ambitions as America's founding fathers. Investing through the EB-5 program continues to be the fastest way to U.S. residency.
- Three New I-526 Approvals
The North Dakota/Minnesota EB-5 Regional Center announces the USCIS's approval of three I-526 petitions in the Ultra Green project. With these approvals, the EB-5 investors are granted their conditional green cards and $1.5 Million was released to the project ($500,000 per investor). A milestone well deserving of a celebration, these approvals mark the beginning of the investment and immigration process. These I-526 petitions go to support all subsequent filings in the project, which is great news for the remaining investors and the project!

House passes recall primary elections
PHOENIX -- The Arizona House of Representatives has passed a bill on a party-line vote adding a primary election to all voter-initiated recall elections.
Majority Republicans pushing the bill argued it was needed to prevent the ouster of elected officials who are targeted only because of their party affiliation. Democrats say it's designed to protect incumbents.
A last-minute addition to the bill that passed on a 36-23 vote Thursday makes it apply retroactively. That's designed to make the bill apply to an ongoing effort by opponents of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to force a recall election.
Republicans have been pushing for changes to the Arizona Constitution's provision on recalls since former Senate President Russell Pearce became the first Arizona legislator recalled in 2011.

Toyota Camry Lease Questions
ribbs2521 Posts: 1I guess from looking at previous posts I'm just supposed to use this same thread. So, how does this look? This is my first lease and my first brand new car.
Price - 22150
Cap Red - 500
Trade - 500
Term - 36
Factor - 0.00002
Residual - 14,144
Down - 500
Tax grp - 730.39
Fee/Lessor - 217.50
Payment - 239.74
It's sign and drive so I'm only paying the 500 down and the first month's payment. There are no options, it's the base LE.
EDIT: Yes, it's 720 for TFS tier one -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi ejv207. Toyota isn't providing lease support on the 2010 Camry any longer. If you want to lease, you really should go with a 2011 model.
Toyota Financial Services' June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base '11 Camry with 12,000 miles per year were .00002 and 65%, respectively in your area for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
I believe that Toyota decided to extend its June programs through July 6th, but I need to double check that to make certain.
TFS' residual values are a little misleading. Unlike most other banks that allow the residualization (now that's a big word ) of all OEM options, TFS places restrictions on what options can be residualized and caps on the ones that it allows. This makes its effective residuals lower than its published percentages appear. It also makes it difficult for consumers to work up payments on specific models on their own.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi bmwdriver. Dealer invoice is a very attractive selling price for a leased Camry Hybrid and the money factor that you were quoted is right in line with the program that I have seen for this car. If you like the vehicle, I personally don't see any reason not to pull the trigger on this deal.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Congratulations shellco. I'd be happy to take a look at this deal for you. The easiest way for me to evaluate your lease would be to take a look at the MSRP and selling price that were used to arrive at your payment. These numbers enable us to see how large a dealer discount you were given. Let us know and I'm sure that either myself or another knowledgeable community member will gladly tell you what they think.
Having said that, $390 per month does sound a little steep for an '11 Camry.

handcontrol Posts: 3Can anyone on hear help me out? I'm looking to lease a 2011 LXE V6. I thought from reading on hear that the Money Factor was .00002, I am being told by the dealer for tier 1+ it's .00090. This is a big difference in price. Is this just a regional deal? If so can anyone tell me the states nearest Chicago where I could get this rate? What really stinks is in Illinois I also have to pay 7.5% sales tax on the total vehicle price, not just the lease amount. Any help is greatly appreciated!

ddools Posts: 2Hi , Please any help will be very thankfull; I have a Toyota Camry and the lease is running out this month and I want to extend it month to month. So I called Toyota and they told me that i had to to give them the mileage first before they would decide to extend it for me, but they did not see any reason it could not be done. I told them i did not know what the mileage and I would have to call them back this week sometime with that info. I am not one to tell a fib but I got the feeling that everything was dependant on the mileage number wether they extended it or not. Got that feeling. Question is why does it matter if the mileage is over the original given miles or at the 36k given in the lease. The actual is higher that 36k.
Thx -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey wanttocamry. Toyota's lease program for the 2011 Camry varies by region. You never mentioned what state you are in, so for now I will use its New York region as an example.
Toyota Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Camry LE with 12,000 miles per year in its New York region are .00001 and 64%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
At first glance one might say, wow a 64% residual value...that's incredible. Unfortunately, it's also misleading. TFS places restrictions upon what options can be residualized making its real world residuals essentially lower than its published resids for base models initially appear. This also makes it difficult for consumers to calculate sample payments on specific models on their own.

ffolserk0002 Posts: 2I had two dealerships on the phone, and told them I wanted no money down lease for 36 months, 36K miles, and got to around $200 including gap insurance.
Looks like they discounted from 27K to around 22K. Probably 27K is inflated MSRP, but who knows. I come to the table with tax, tags, first month payment, title. In Maryland.
Thanks for your replies. -
ffolserk0002 Posts: 2I signed a new Camry lease last night and after reviewing the paperwork at home realized that the initial lease payment collected was not prorated. I called the dealer and sent an email about getting an adjustment. In the state of Maryland, is it too late to negotiate after you sign a lease?
kyfdx Posts: 31,922Leases aren't like mortgages or apartment rents... They aren't all due on the 1st of the month, so no proration is necessary...
If you leased a car on the 20th, the payment will be due on the 20th, each month, and also expire on the 20th of the last month..

alboston Posts: 7Hi,
Long time reader. Would like to contribuite too.
Just leased Toyota Camry 2011 LE 4 cyl. with mats and alloy wheels $400 down and $190/mth for 36 mths. and 12,000 miles a year. Also got free 2 year maintenance. Minimal negotiations using e-mails first to set the prices right.
T. of Watertown in MA. Sales person Ray. The car is pretty good, rather quiet, everything is automatic. What's not to like? -
jfn1000 Posts: 22Alboston - did that $190 include MA sales tax? Also, when you say $400 down, was that total out of pocket, including 1st month payment? I've bought cars at T of watertown before and always been treated pretty well. Did you negotiate that face to face or just through email/phone.
Thanks -
alboston Posts: 7Yes, $190/m included MA sales tax. $400 was documents fee and license/registration only.I negotiated rather lazy during 6 weeks due to a long vacation over e-mails only, maybe 4 times. And finally settle for $199/m $0 down (initially they wanted $1999 down and $199/m), then agreed to drop $1999. Face to face they wanted $400 upfront, but reduced to $190/m, which was ok with me. They also offered gap insurance for $395/3 years, which I declined, but for some it's ok deal too for a peace of mind.
trent9 Posts: 2Got this quote ... seems pretty good when compared to other posted deals, but if I'm doing the math right the sales prices seem high. Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong ... any assessment would be much appreciated.
In Wisconsin
2011 LE with mats and alloy wheels (MSRP of 23,325)
Residual = 14,269
36 payments of $192 + tax ($203 after tax) ... nothing down other than the first month payment
payments are all inclusive (title, fees, etc).
One option question ... thoughts on the blue tooth radio? Adds $7/month ... feels like a good option but I've never used.
Thanks in advance for any help -

Heated seats/push button start
Remote engine start

Only money down was first month payment.
Didnt really negotiate much so probably got hosed. I do know money factor was .00001. -
oneqckta Posts: 1I was at the dealership today. This is the quote I received. IT's a 2011 camry SE 2546A model with AS FE QD CF EX SK options. They are selling it to me for 23,200. With taxes and fees rolled in and 15k for 36 months, they quoted me a payment of 279. I am in IL and will be getting the 00001. money factor. It's residualizing at 14836. I was at another dealership and they did not have the cf ex sk package on this car and their payment was 253/month. This was all done before I mentioned my trade. I have a 2008 camry with 3 months left on the lease. They said if I trade it in, they can minus the difference of what they will give me for the trade. Two questions. Is this a true statement, or can they only put the trade in value minus the payoff value? Also, does this sound high to you? Should I keep shopping around. Any help anyone can give, it is greatly appreciated

My shutters are currently a dark green. What other colors would look good? I am leaning toward black shutters but not sure if that would work? Ideas please? My house is small (manufactured home) We will be adding white french doors, the deck is a red cedar with white railings. Thank you. |

Hi graywings. Thanks for your reply. I'm just wondering why you think "Home Decorating" would be a better forum for me to place my post? I'm not doing any Home Decorating (just yet) So far, I'm 'painting' |
What color is the roof and can you post a picture? Cream is fairly neutral unless there is a lot of yellow in it. Anything from white to black. I wouldn't t care for black but a lot of people would love it. You could also use an almost black color for it to be less stark looking. Since you have a red cedar deck maybe a reddish brown or deep red tone that incorporates the coloring of that feature. The deck material is on the same side of the house as the shutters? They are visible together? I would suggest looking at lots of pictures online for "cream house" to better see what your own personal preferences are. |

Hi snooums2, There is a hint of yellow in the vinyl siding. The roof is charcoal grey (closer to black) Yes, on the deck side all the windows have shutters. I've attached a photo of my house that I took just this past summer. The actual color has a hint of yellow in it. I hope this helps to give you an idea. I really appreciate all your help. |

I suggested the Home Decorating forum because you are asking a question about color, not paint. Many of the color experts on the Home Decorating forum do not come to this forum - so if you want their advice, you need to go to the forum they read. The Paint forum has some good professional painters who give sound advice on painting and paint products. There are a few color experts here, so maybe posting here will work for you. If it doesn't, try the Home Decorating forum. |
Hi graywings, thank you for letting me know why you think my post might work better on the Home Decorating forum. It makes sense to me, so I'll give it a go! I appreciate your help very much. Merry Christmas to you. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Mexicans protest death of migrant in U.S. custody
Mexico City, Mexico (CNN) -- About 5,000 Mexican motorists along the
border near San Diego, California, protested the death of an illegal
immigrant last week while in the custody of U.S. border agents, the
Notimex news agency reported.
The San Diego police department is investigating Anastacio Hernandez
Rojas' death, which the medical examiner ruled a homicide.
Hernandez was detained, beaten and shocked with a Taser on May 28, San
Diego police said, and died three days later in a Chula Vista, California,
Mexican President Felipe Calderon issued a statement Thursday saying his
government will use all diplomatic means to make sure all the details come
to light.
The protest began with about 450 demonstrators who carried signs as they
marched on a pedestrian bridge near the border, Notimex said. Thousands of
drivers who were waiting to cross the border into the United States
started to sound their horns in unison, the government-funded news agency
The motorists occupied 10 lanes on two highways for more than a mile,
Notimex said, calling the event unprecedented.
Hernandez died of cardiac arrest, but methamphetamine abuse and
hypertension were also contributing factors, an autopsy found.
The altercation occurred at the San Ysidro Port of Entry when U.S. Customs
and Border Protection agents were trying to deport Hernandez to Mexico,
San Diego and federal authorities said. Hernandez became combative, the
officials said, and force was used to restrain him.
"One of the agents used a baton to administer to the subject to get him to
stop fighting," said San Diego homicide Capt. Jim Collins. "When that was
not successful, they used the Taser."
Hernandez stopped breathing shortly after the Taser was used, San Diego
police said in a statement May 29.
Notimex said the man was brain dead and doctors proposed disconnecting him
from life support.
He died Monday afternoon at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, a hospital
spokeswoman and police said.

Unlike the 911, the Gallardo, and the Ferrari F430, the R8 is not black-and-white hard-core in its responses to driver inputs. For example, at 3.25 turns lock-to-lock, the steering requires a bit more work than the quicker setups preferred by the competition. "On the other hand," claims Ulrich Hackenberg, chief technical engineer at Audi, "our car is easier to drive at very high speeds." On the second run through the roller-coaster zig-zags, the coupe behaves true to its master's words. Even where the road has ragged outer edges curling toward the apex like ripples on a lake shore, the front suspension feels creamy, smooth, and totally unperturbed. There is no tugging at the steering wheel, almost no slip-angle variation over the rough stuff, no yawing away from the action. The R8 simply follows the line, staying flat and hugging the ground, valiantly defying g-forces, and remaining astonishingly neutral.
On the return trip down the hill, the brakes get a chance to show off, too. "The stopping distance from 62 to 0 mph is a best-in-class 112 feet," claims Hackenberg.
The R8's four-wheel drive mimics the hardware and layout that Lamborghini has used for years. Drive to the rear is permanently connected. In the event of slippage in back, a viscous coupling delivers up to 35 percent of the available torque to the front wheels. "Switch off ESP, and power oversteer is the name of the game," Hackenberg promises. "But even with the rear tires smoking, the car always remains benign and controllable."
The six cogs of the manual transmission are evenly spaced, so first is more than just a takeoff ratio, third is perfect for brisk passing maneuvers, and sixth is a proper driving gear that can carry you past 180 mph. Like the clutch, the shifter is unexpectedly light. It makes all the classic clickety-click noises as it moves through the open metal gate in short and determined throws, but it isn't as stiff and heavy as the lever in the Gallardo. How come? The Audi engineers upgraded the linkage with a Teflon-plated guide panel. With a manual gearbox as speedy and accurate as this, the extra-cost R tronic transmission makes sense only for those who plan to use the R8 as a track-day special.
Although the R8's drag coefficient is rated at an unexciting 0.35, the designers under Walter de'Silva are particularly proud of the downforce this body will create. Assisted by a relatively subtle automatically extending tail spoiler, there's aerodynamic downforce on both axles at speed. As a result, typical vices such as front-end pitch, delayed steering response, lift-off vagueness, and sensitivity to crosswinds are all conspicuous by their absence.
One last time, we fly up the hill, swing around, and dive down again. Legs drilled into the footwell, back pressed into the seat, right hand clamping the grab handle, I relish the repeat performance. Even without direct access to the steering and the pedals, I can sense the strong grip and the sticky roadholding, the promptness of the turn-ins, and the emphatic unwinding whenever the next straight beckons.
By now, the dialogue between engine and brakes and the interjection of clutch and transmission feel completely natural, even from the passenger seat. But this routine is beginning to feel a little too virtual. I'm ready for the real thing.

The year is 1100. The date is August 1. The monks in the abbey at Gloucester are celebrating the holy-day of St. Peter in Chains. One of the monks wakes from a strange dream in which God promises to strike down the wicked King who has abused the Holy Church. His superior, Abbot Serlo, on hearing of the dreams sends a warning to the King, William the Red, who has oppressed all of England with taxes and disgusted many with his licentiousness and blasphemy. Red, as he is called, receives the message the following day while preparing to indulge in one of his favorite sports, hunting, in the New Forest. Although there are no longer any people dwelling in the New Forest — they were all cleared out by Red's father, William the Conqueror — there are rumors that it's a hotbed of pagan activity.
And August 2 is an important pagan holy-day. The Saxons call it Lammas, the Loaf-Mass. William the Red laughs at the warning from the monks and goes out hunting. A short time later, he is dead, struck in the chest by a stray arrow, and his brother, Henry, who was in the hunting party is riding hot-foot for Winchester and the crown. Now some people say that William the Red was a Lammas sacrifice, that having made a wasteland of his kingdom, he was killed by the people (or the Gods) as a sacrifice to bring new life to the land. And some people say his brother Henry has him assassinated. And some people say that both versions are true. This story comes to my mind when I think of Lammas because I spent ten years researching a medieval novel set in the time of William the Red and Henry. But this tale of sacrifice and hunting, a dying King and a wasted land, embodies many of the dominant themes of Lammas, one of the four seasonal quarter-days, and perhaps the least well-known.
The Celts celebrate this festival from sunset August 1 until sunset August 2 and call it Lughnasad after the God Lugh. It is the wake of Lugh, the Sun-King, whose light begins to dwindle after the summer solstice. The Saxon holiday of Lammas celebrates the harvesting of the grain. The first sheaf of wheat is ceremonially reaped, threshed, milled and baked into a loaf. The grain dies so that the people might live. Eating this bread, the bread of the Gods, gives us life. If all this sounds vaguely Christian, it is. In the sacrament of Communion, bread is blessed, becomes the body of God and is eaten to nourish the faithful. This Christian Mystery echoes the pagan Mystery of the Grain God. Grain has always been associated with Gods who are killed and dismembered and then resurrected from the Underworld by the Goddess-Gods like Tammuz, Osiris and Adonis. The story of Demeter and Persephone is a story about the cycle of death and rebirth associated with grain. Demeter, the fertility Goddess, will not allow anything to grow until she finds her daughter who has been carried off to the Underworld.
The Eleusinian Mysteries, celebrated around the Autumn Equinox, culminated in the revelation of a single ear of corn, a symbol to the initiate of the cyclical nature of life, for the corn is both seed and fruit, promise and fulfillment.
You can adapt the themes of Lughnasad and Lammas to create your own ceremony for honoring the passing of the light and the reaping of the grain. Honoring the Grain God or Goddess Bake a loaf of bread on Lammas. If you've never made bread before, this is a good time to start.
Honor the source of the flour as you work with it: remember it was once a plant growing on the mother Earth. If you have a garden, add something you've harvested--herbs or onion or corn--to your bread. If you don't feel up to making wheat bread, make corn bread. Or gingerbread people. Or popcorn.
What's most important is intention.
All that is necessary to enter sacred time is an awareness of the meaning of your actions.
Food for Thought Lammas is a festival of regrets and farewells, of harvest and preserves. Reflect on these topics alone in the privacy of your journal or share them with others around a fire.
Lughnasad is one of the great Celtic fire-festivals, so if at all possible, have your feast around a bonfire. While you're sitting around the fire, you might want to tell stories. Look up the myths of any of the grain Gods and Goddesses mentioned above and try re-telling them in your own words.
Regrets: Think of the things you meant to do this summer or this year that are not coming to fruition. You can project your regrets onto natural objects like pine cones and throw them into the fire, releasing them. Or you can write them on dried corn husks (as suggested by Nancy Brady Cunningham in Feeding the Spirit) or on a piece of paper and burn them.
Farewells: What is passing from your life? What is over? Say good-bye to it. As with regrets, you can find visual symbols and throw them into the fire, the lake or the ocean. You can also bury them in the ground, perhaps in the form of bulbs which will manifest in a new form in spring.
Harvest: What have you harvested this year? What seeds have your planted that are sprouting? Find a visual way to represent these, perhaps creating a decoration in your house or altar which represents the harvest to you. Or you could make a corn dolly or learn to weave wheat. Look for classes in your area which can teach you how to weave wheat into wall pieces, which were made by early grain farmers as a resting place for the harvest spirits.
Preserves: This is also a good time for making preserves, either literally or symbolically. As you turn the summer's fruit into jams, jellies and chutneys for winter, think about the fruits that you have gathered this year and how you can hold onto them. How can you keep them sweet in the store of your memory?

We would like to replace our 8x7 garage door. We have looked, via the internet, at Martin, Amarr, Carriage Door Company, Wayne Dalton, Clopay, Holmes, Raynor, and most recently, Overhead Door.
After considering many styles, we are now leaning toward a modern style aluminum and glass door. We like the look of the Martin Athena 212. We were referred to a garage door installer who came out and discussed a few options. He said that Martins are very good but really expensive and he recommended Overhead Door--the 511 or 521--if we wanted the aluminum door. Do any of you have any experience with Overhead Door's doors? If you have any insight or have a recommendation of another brand, we would love to hear it. FWIW, our door faces east-north, does not get much direct sun or wind, but we are about 150 feet from the ocean, which is why we are reluctant to get a wood door. Thanks for your help. |

Nothing wrong with Overhead Door. They are generally local and compete well. Martin Doors on the other hand is quality plus therefore the price. |

so normally i make my cupcakes the night before an event sometimes i frost them the same day as the event sometimes its the night before. i have a client who is having a christening next sunda out of state ( its state over from me) she has family and a weekend place about 35 minutes from me in my state and i will be delivering the cupcakes to her that friday.
these are my issues if i make the cupcakes on friday morning deliver them at night its very cold where i am (ne) how can she store them till sunday so the frosting does not melt?
i am doing vanilla cupcakes with a vanilla buttercream and white chocolate crosses on top. i usually put the cupcakes in the fridge to set before delivery and they are good to go. but since this event is 2 days later i am worried about the cupcakes holding up that long. could she keep them in the fridge till sunday take them out an hour or so before the event so the frosting has time to get down to temp
is there a really good buttercream that will hold up for a few days
