Toyota Tacoma Prices Paid and Buying Experience
jfritsch Posts: 958I have no Idea of the taxes in your state but unless they are 8-10% that doesn't seem like a great deal.
The prices on trucks on in the dumper. Look up a used 07 version of your tacoma on kbb.com with avg miles. Add about 20% to the trade in price for the price (+ taxes and tags extra) for a new 08 one. This target price may be on the high side, but toyota dealers are good at working this truck for $$$ People are buying 27000 nissan crew cab 4wd se's auto loaded for 20000 or less (+ttl).
A SE nissan king cab v6 2wd auto with hitch, abs, 2 wheel limited slip may set you back 16500+- with tax/ttl additional and is 2x the truck you are looking at with alloys, best in class towing, luxury interior (compared to example) etc and comparable mpg. With the deals out there and comparable full size v8 silverado "strippers" going for 12000 or less, The concept of paying this for a little steel wheeled vinyl floored 4cyl manual reg cab tacoma doesn't seem very appealing.
Good luck
Thought I'd run this by you guys as it's my first brand new purchase. I'm getting a completely basic Tacoma, with the only option being air conditioning.
Their listed invoice price is $15174, which includes the air conditioning package, silly floormats/spare lock and destination/TDA/holdback/holding fees. I was told I could get this for $15000 even, so with other random fees (dock fee, electronic vehicle registration) and tax/tags I'm at $16720. Then they will apply $1000 cash back, and a $400 recent college graduate rebate making the final out the door price $15320.
Sound like a good deal? -
zzyzx Posts: 5Hi All,
I'm in the market for a:
2009 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab 4X2
CP - Convenience Pkg
RL - Daytime Running Lights
WT - Window Tint
CF - Carpet Mat Set w / Door Sill Protectors
BM - Ball Mount
The MSRP on this is: $22,402.00
Dealer Discount : $858.78
Sale Price $21,543.22
There are no rebates for a 2009 Tacoma. I'm in the central Texas market.
Do I have some more wiggle room for negotiating? It sure looked like lot was full of vehicles

ocautoseeker Posts: 425Two things:
1) It's an '09 and not yet "distressed" inventory.
2) It's probably a 4-cyl and because of fuel prices, they are selling very well.
In SoCal where there are like 60 dealers who all compete, there aren't even any rebates on the remaining '08 4-cyl! Probably because they're all gone. Pop for a V6 and bam! $1500 rebate.
There's not a large spread between invoice and msrp on the base ac's.
I would shoot for invoice - $500 over on that particular vehicle.
Just my opinion. -
endlessmoto Posts: 3I am looking to do my first lease and I am still a little unsure how to know if I am negotiating a good deal;
I am between a '08 Tundra and '08 Tacoma;
I am located in Milwaukee, WI 53227, Tax rate 5.6%, and fall into a Tier 1 credit rating
The 2008 Tacoma I am looking at is as follows;
DoubleCab 4x4, Short Bed, TRD Sport Package
MSRP: $30,375 w/ delivery
Can anyone tell me what money factor and residual will be on this truck; I'm looking at doing a 3 year/36K mile lease and hoping to walk away with just 1st month, taxes, and registration.
Let me know what you think the best possible deal I can walk with this truck is. The dealer said they have a $1000 rebate through August and an additional $1500 if I can register it under my business name.
Thanks! -

cal4 Posts: 14I turn my 98 toy in next Friday and Im trying to get into a 2009 Prerunner Access cab 2WD, 4Cy, manual.
Can any one define the terms used here:
hold back
cash back
My local dealer said he would sell me one at $300 over invoice but it sounds like you can skinned in 4 directions by toyota.

raventoes Posts: 1FYI....How to buy your next truck/car
1. Go to Carsdirect.com. Follow the instructions for the vehicle you want. The cost that they show is approximately the cost to the dealer (minus any dealer incentives, holdbacks, etc)
2. Go to NADA.com. Go to the vehicle you want. The dealer maked-up costs are shown side-by-side with the actual cost to the dealer (minus any dealer incentives, holdbacks, etc).
3. You could also purchase a new vehicle report from Consumer Reports. It will show the maked-up dealer costs as well as the actual cost to the dealer. This report will also show you the dealer holdbacks and any known dealer incentives.
I tried all three to see how close they were to the vehicle I'm looking at. Surprisingly they all were within a couple hundred dollars of one another.
The methods above are all great ways to understand approximately what the dealer pays for the vehicle, and make sure your getting a reasonable deal.
Good Luck, and have fun with it. -
jackellis Posts: 1I just purchased a new '08 Tacoma yesterday. Raventoes's advice is on target but I would add a few things:
1) Know what the vehicle you want is worth. I used the TMV from Edmunds as my reference, as it appears to be an attempt to determine the market price rather than the sticker price, but I cross-checked that value against Kelly Blue Book.
2) Decide whether you're in love with the car or determined to pay a fair price. If you're in love with the car, pay the sticker price and save yourself time and hassle. If you're determined to pay a fair price, get a couple of quotes then stand your ground. Especially in today's environment, the dealer wants to make a sale at least as much as you want to buy. Be prepared to walk out and do so if the dealer refuses to meet you, or at least get pretty close. In our case, I was ready to split a $400 difference but then the "manager refused". At that point, it was my price or no deal. When they finally realized we were serious about getting our price rather than theirs, they blinked.
3) A fair price is likely to be closer to the invoice price than to the sticker, depending on the model. If it's a slow selling model or a year-end close-out, you may be able to do a little better. If the economy is strong or the car is hot, be prepared to pay more. If your objective is to get a vehicle for well under the invoice price, it's my opinion you're probably wasting your time. Generally speaking, the dealer has to do better than break even and it is highly doubtful they will sell below their real cost.
4) Read link title to understand the dealer's thought process and the game you'll have to play once inside the dealership. Remember that the sales teams job is to make the largest possible profit for their employer (the dealer). Your job is to limit the dealer's profit to a reasonable level
5) Remember point number 2. If you're really in love with the car, they win. We knew what we wanted and had a very satisfactory, low mileage, used vehicle lined up to see two blocks away, so we were not bluffing when we walked out. We essentially paid the invoice price less a nice cash-back incentive on a brand new vehicle. Other than the color, which I mostly could care less about, we're very pleased with our purchase, too.
6) Also, be calm and polite but firm. No sense getting an ulcer or a heart attack. They probably hear people scream and shout all the time. They're used to rejection. Just keep telling them over and over again that you've done your research and the price you've offered is a price you think is fair. -
robtaco Posts: 2I just bought a 2008 Dbl Cab Long Bed Taco, Blue, SR5#2, two weeks ago. I live north of Boston. I bought at IRA manchester..
I negotiated over the web entirely until I found the right price/deal.
Invoice from Edmunds is $25575, with the clearance cash back my final price was
$24468, plus TTL and their dam doc fee ($290).
I feel like it was a good deal and the time was right. There were very, very few DblCab Long beds left and most dealers didn't have any, so a bit of searching on my part and finding the ones that were left dictated the dealers to call/email. Oddly, I did find a DblCab/Longbed without the sr5#2 (totally base!), but the dealer thought they were sitting on a gold mine, so I bought the sr5 instead for about $400 more than what they wanted for the base model.
I did buy the 100k mile warranty for $1400 so they may have got some of my savings back. I was a bit peeved over that because I got the hard sell and wasn't prepared for it. I thought to myself... 'why do I need to see the business manager, we've already got a deal???'. Anyways, perhaps I could have saved a few hundred on that, but I don't feel I got totally sharked.
ps a few weeks before the absolute best deal I could find was $26k... -
ocautoseeker Posts: 425a doc fee is nothing more than pure profit. some states are capped at what they can charge, and others are not. if it's relatively small, like in ca ($55 cap), nobody argues with that, especially when you get them to sell you a vehicle at or below invoice. however, anything more than about $75 is absurd and should be negotiated. some states, aahhemm... florida.... aahhhemm, are known for their outrageous doc/process fees, sometimes in excess of $600!
best advice: just take into account how much it is in the grand spectrum of your entire deal. if you were able to negotiate a price well below invoice in which they dipped well into their holdback, then maybe letting them make $100 in the form of a doc fee would be alright. -
vikter Posts: 2If you recently purchased a Tacoma, please post the trim and options, MSRP price, the sale price and the drive out price.
It's incredible that there are so few posts on tacomas considering they are very popular. I've used the edmunds price paid forums to get a great deal on my wife's 2008 accord and just wish I could do the same for a new tacoma. If I buy a tacoma, I'll post my sale price to hopefully help others negociate better. -
skinsfan44 Posts: 2I just totaled my 2003 Taco (171k miles), so I am i the market for a new '08 or '09. I live in NJ, and plan to buy within the next week or so.
I will be looking for a 4wd, 6cyl, access cab with the SR5 package. Color is important, with Pyrite Mica being my first choice and Black being the second.
Couple of Questions:
1. Would it make sense to wait until after 09/30 to see what new offers Toyota puts out for the Tacomas (currently only specials on the '09 DC and the '08 models (if any are left))
2. Do you think there is any inventory of 08's left? I am really interested in the Pyrite Mica color, but something tells me it will be difficult to find. I would settle for Black if the Pyrite Mica is not an option, but again, not sure what the 08 selection is like in Central Jersey.
3. What should I expect to pay for an '09? Are the trucks selling so well that the dealers are not backing down? I see the TMV for my area is $26,401, while the MSRP is $26,655. $200 below MSRP is not a good deal. FYI, the invoice is listed at $24,491. Again, are these selling so well that I can really expect to pay almost MSRP?
Thanks. -
cal4 Posts: 14i would wait untill the new incentives come out Oct. 1+-. I have cast around Ohio and Indiana the past month for a 09 and ever dealer I conatacted would except a $300 over invoice offer.
Wish you were closer to me. I need a few parts off a Tacoma going to the crusher/junk yard that would never be missed. -
skinsfan44 Posts: 2
mtrialsm Posts: 159I'm looking at an '08 Tacoma double cab, 2wd. sticker was $26749.00.
It's marked down to $24002.00. Now with $2500 cash back that would be a good price at $21502.00 plus doc fees, tax and title.
I'm still thinking about waiting to order an '09 double cab LWB. I like some of the new options and colors.
I'm in Georgia. -

thomasr1950 Posts: 74You state $1000.00 rebate on an 09 Tacoma. I assume this is from Toyota, all i've seen is $500.00 rebate. What pkg. did you get on your Tacoma? I'm looking at an 09 dlb cab swb, SR5 pkg. 2 (JBL), alum, wheels, tow pkg & day running lights. I've been quoted $24,4000.00 from my ins. co.
splunger Posts: 1I have a deal pending on an 06 Toyota Tacoma DBL cab SR5 Prerunner that was a lease return with 33000 miles. Priced at 16,500 plus TTL. It appears to be in real good shape and has new tires and a few extras. Does this sound like a good deal??? My first venture into the Toyota market so I am not exactly sure of true value .. especially in this market. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
PS Why would this vehicle have brand new tires at 33K miles do you think? How long do the original tires usually last? -

Whether the Bruins were hoisting the Stanley Cup or the Celtics were cutting down the nets at the Garden, people across the world knew one thing: Boston meant the big leagues. Gus Agiortis knew this too—alighting in Edmonton in 1964 after emigrating from his native Greece, he named his restaurant Boston Pizza and Spaghetti House to prove that his Italian flavors could play with the professionals. And play they did, cementing pizza's status as a favorite in western Canada and helping the restaurant expand to dozens of locations. Current owners Jim Treliving and George Melville were among the people swept up by Gus's recipes. After starting out as franchise owners, they purchased the chain in 1983. Whether getting their signature pies prominent placement at Vancouver's Expo '86 or expanding their empire to the United States, they've kept their sights set on big-league taste without sacrificing the quality ingredients or hypnotism training that made Gus's food so irresistible to begin with. Served in more than 18 varieties, gourmet pizza still anchors the menu today, with pie creations ranging from the spicy Flying Buffalo to the Extreme Mushroom, which pairs flatbread with portobello, shiitake, and porcini mushrooms topped with mushroom pesto and parmesan bread crumbs. Chefs craft each crust by hand, layering it with Boston's special-recipe pizza sauce that they make in-house. On the non-pizza front, they've expanded past Gus's spaghetti-topped beginnings, infusing the menu with southern-tinged favorites ranging from pulled pork and baby-back ribs to roast beef au jus and jambalaya fettuccini. They also stay health-conscious with their Healthy Hits menu, dishing out sensible portions of entrees such as the shrimp Diablo pasta that have less than 650 calories and 15 grams of fat.
Thomas Volmer credits his wife, Rachel, for inspiring them to start helming boot camps. She wasn't always a fitness guru, though. "She was a commercial banker and she was 70 pounds overweight," Volmer recalls. Once she started to reclaim her life, "she just fell in love with fitness," he says. She eventually dropped 80 pounds with proper exercise and nutrition, spurring her to earn her AFAA personal training certification and pursue a career as a full-time trainer.
Personal experience lends Rachel and the other trainers—including Sharon Monk, who lost more than 200 pounds by exercising and eating healthily—empathy and a motivating demeanor when working with campers. At each location, they get groups doing pushups, swinging kettlebells, and flipping tires in a positive environment that's focused on teamwork, rather than competition. "You start as a group, you finish as a group," says Thomas. "But the activities that you do in between might be different based on your abilities."
In addition to leading sessions, Rachel creates easy-to-use online meal plans (including a vegetarian plan), which campers can customize to help them stay on track. Options range from the simple, such as cereal with fruits, nuts, and flaxseeds, to the creative, including honey-sweetened oatmeal peanut-butter cookies. She also includes the calorie count for each recipe. Users can pick from simple meals made for one person or larger entrees designed with an entire family or pet elephant in mind.
If you ask a professional cheerleader how she got her toned physique, agile limbs, and powerful muscles, she might point you to Jay and Lin Johnson. The husband-and-wife duo are the brains behind Jay Johnson's Boot Camp Fitness?an exercise program designed to slim waistlines and pump up muscles of students of all abilities, from fitness newbies to professionals and prestigious clients such as the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. They have also introduced the program to national audiences through numerous television appearances, including Dr. Phil's Ultimate Weight Loss Challenge.
Drawing from their extensive training in the US Army and years of fitness experience, the pair and a staff of elite trainers?including professional football players and mixed martial artists?lead boot-camp programs in the Dallas area. Within parks, fields, and parking lots, they conduct high-intensity workouts, keeping patrons engaged with constantly varied regimens, along with games, obstacle courses, and scavenger hunts. They focus on functional training throughout the sessions, challenging students to heave barbells, flip tractor tires, and lug fire hoses.
The trainers also offer a specialized cheerleading boot camp ideal for high-school teams training for upcoming seasons or assistant grocery managers seeking ways to motivate their teams of disillusioned bag boys.
Since its founding in 1980, Sun & Ski Sports has remained true to its philosophy: "do a few things, but do them better than anybody else." The shop stocks equipment in five categories of extreme and outdoor activities, including camping, skating, running, bicycling, and water and snow sports. It specializes in these to ensure its merchandise maintains a high standard of quality, and its employees are knowledgeable participants in the sports their department represents.
Bikers can drop off their steeds for tune-ups from certified mechanics who put all brands through the rigors of a 12-point inspection, checking chains and adjusting wobbly pedals and malfunctioning spoke-card motors. While waiting, curious eyes might linger on a North Face two-person tent, a Blackburn Airtower bicycle pump, or a vast selection of shoes from brands such as New Balance and Asics. Men and women can traipse nearly barefoot in the park with Vibram FiveFingers, which offer minimal structural encumbrances for a more natural stride, or cast their feet aside for the new-wheeled prowess that comes with a Fuji SL-1 LE Ultegra performance road bike.
In 1997, Amy Caldwell discovered yoga. As she backpacked through Asia, Australia, and parts of Europe, she stopped to train with yogis she met along the way, exploring the styles of Vinyasa flow, Sivananda, Iyengar, and Ashtanga. As she learned, she blended these styles into her own dynamic flow. Since this nomadic journey, Amy's rapidly developing skills have earned her a spot on two Yoga Journal covers. Today, as owners of Yoga One studio, she and her husband Michael incorporate their own unique yoga and meditation styles into their teachings.
The flexible duo leads a team of experienced instructors, who foster a positive, non-competitive environment and also specialized in different styles of yoga, such as sunrise flow, Vinyasa flow, and gentle flow. Inside the main studio, where natural light from skylights casts a glow onto hardwood floors and saffron curtains, instructors lead groups through classes that cover optimal alignment, breath, and present-moment awareness. They also guide students outside the studio to stretch and align on a sunny rooftop in Little Italy. Inside softly lit massage rooms, therapists help visitors release tension from aching muscles.

Would love some feedback on the use of Wilton sugar sheets. I'm one of those who, despite the use of various brands, loathe fondant. I'd really rather not pay for, use, or eat it. To get around this on an upcoming graduation cake, I'd like to cut my design from sugar sheets.
From my Wilton research, I see it's best for the buttercream to be fresh/soft so the paper like product will simply "melt" into the cake after sitting for a period of time (preferably the day before), making it almost imperceptible during consumption. I'm not sure I get the logic of 3D designs since they won't make contact with the buttercream, but as I'm not interested in that, I should be o.k.
Have you used them? Any tricks or tips for ensuring proper melting? Any bad experiences/mishaps? Pictures to share?

More reviews by faciallychallenged
Overall I love this product! Four lippies only though, because the smell is reminiscent of bug spray. I generally prefer products that are unscented. HOwever the results are OUTSTANDING, and I normally HATE Neutrogena products. Also, this is the first salicylic product Ive ever liked. It really smooths out my skin, digs in and helps eliminate my milia problem on my forehead, and FAST! Three weeks ago I started using Glyderm lotion lite with 5% glycolic as part of my normal routine, and I was looking for a good BHA product to complement it and help speed the elimination of clogged pores--and I found it here. This really has helped counteract the redness from the AHA lotion and speed me through the purging/healing process that I was going through. And, I swear to God, it has even helped eliminate my fine lines! I will overlook the odd smell and buy it in bulk, because my skin hasn't looked this way since I was about 23 (i'm 29 and sun-damaged).
UPDATE: Had to try the Paula's choice 2% liquid, and I must admit, it blows this away. If your main problem is acne, these pads are pretty good at getting rid of active spots quickly. However the alcohol can be too drying after awhile for me, and they didn't seem to rid me of the little under skin bumps that Paula's takes care of.
After the first few applications, my skin looked noticeably better. Then I had a breakout and unfortunately that breakout hasn't gone away several weeks later. The pimples seem to dry up, along with the skin around it and then re-appear as whiteheads and the cycle repeats itself. These pads aren't doing anything! I feel like my skin is worse since I started using them. Maybe I need to give it more time, but at this point I won't be re-purchasing!
I never have bad luck with Neutrogena products which is why I chose this one over the many salycitic cleansing pads out there, especially after reading the labels. This one had the least irritating ingredients and the least alcohol, and didn't overdry my skin. In fact, the morning after first use, my combo skin looked clearer than it had in over a week. The downside: yes, the smell IS horrifying, I have to admit, but the product works and my skin looks great on those not-so-great days and times of the month which is when I reach for this, meaning I'm not a daily user. So far so good, hopefully it will continue.
i guess i'm the only one that doesn't like these...
the smell is so strong and alcohol-y, it takes my breath away, and the fumes travel up to my nose and eyes and irritates the hell out of them
update: OH MY GOD these things KILLED my skin! my skin is dry, and cracked, and peeling EVEYWHERE. uggghh. continued >>
I really like this product - I've been using it for less than a week and already my skin is getting better (I don't dare SAY this aloud because my skin will hear me and act out just to spite me!)...but these are great and have a nice citrus smell. I was using the L'Oreal DermaExpertise Adult Acne Peel Kit before this and realized that I was totally being hosed! The only realy thing that you use in the kit is a Salicylic Acid tonic and dry pads - it's 2 % Salicylic Acid just like these! Those kits are $25-30 retail. These Neutrogena pads are only $7-8 retail. I love them!
I have tried just about every kind of clear pads out there. This on I like the best. It smells like citrus, which I like. The thing I like the most is that they are very soft on my skin. All of the other brands seemed to scratch my skin. These are very gentle, and my breakouts are noticeably fewer around certain times of the month. I have pretty clear skin except when the hormones start in, then I usually breakout around my chin and sometimes my cheeks. Will definately repurchase!
More reviews by talkaboutaddiction
I use this with the rest of the Rapid Clear line and it has really helped out with the tiny breakouts along my jaw and cheeks (thanks hormones!) I still get the usual PMS breakout but it isnt NEAR what it used to be! I wish they were alcohol free like the Stridex ones but I can over look it since my face is really looking nice for once! Even my DH whom was prescibed acutane (which couldnt even clear him up!) uses the line and his face has dramatically improved as well! Kind of ticks me off with all the freakin expensive products I have bought (read: THOUSANDS of dollars!) and here my entire skincare routine costs me $20 and does wonders! Oh well!
i've used acne cleansing pads for many years now, and this is my favorite so far. the smell is citrusy, although it can be a little overpowering. and it seems to work, although it is always hard to tell with skin. but- my skin has been clearer.
i just saw in allure magazine that they recommended these as well!
my only wish is that there was more in the container! they don't last me very long.
Non-irritating and fine under makeup, they don't seem to do much though. Good for gym and overnight bags, and no-fuss people/situations. I think I'll give them to my boyfriend for 'summer skin' (ie. normally stunning skin that tends to break out when working up a sweat in the summer heat).

Mayor Mike McGinn is going where no mayor has gone before, saying he won't support a Whole Foods development in West Seattle unless the company raises the wages of its workers.
Seattle Times staff columnist
If Mike McGinn is in his last months as Seattle's mayor, he is showing no signs of fading quietly.
The mayor, scrapping for an unlikely re-election, has been holding a parade of news conferences to tout one minor happening or accomplishment after another. But last week, in the midst of that daily Kabuki, he did something else. Something a little radical.
McGinn launched a novel attack on a West Seattle development project. By itself, this is unusual. How often do mayors oppose building projects anywhere, let alone in our crane-draped city?
But the reason McGinn gave for coming out against the mixed-use development was unprecedented. It was that the anchor tenant for the complex, Whole Foods, doesn't pay its workers enough.
"I'm setting a new standard here, that we are going to look at the wages they pay, and benefits, when a company wants to develop with land that involves public property," McGinn told me in an interview.
"This is the first time anyone has used this justification when making these kinds of decisions," he added.
McGinn contended in a letter that the nonunion Whole Foods pays "significantly lower" wages and benefits than other grocery stores, including some already in West Seattle. So the idea of allowing Whole Foods to go in there violates the city's social and economic justice goals.
Whole Foods, as you might imagine, was gobsmacked. The company is no stranger around these parts — it has six hugely popular Seattle-area stores, employing 1,500 workers.
It's true its CEO, John Mackay, is sort of a right-wing hippie libertarian — earlier this year he called Obamacare "fascism." But the company hardly operates sweat shops. Whole Foods pays nonmanagement workers on average $16 an hour in Seattle, plus health benefits, the company said in a statement that called McGinn's claims "inaccurate."
Whole Foods has been picked as one of Fortune's "100 Best Places to Work" for 16 years in a row.
But beyond whether Whole Foods is good or evil, McGinn's action raises other questions. Such as: What standards do businesses now need to meet to locate in Seattle?
Do they have to run their payrolls past the mayor?
Why ... yes. At least Whole Foods ought to, McGinn said.
"If Whole Foods wants to open up their books and prove to us that they provide equal pay and benefits to the other grocery stores, then that's something we would definitely consider," McGinn said.
To get his backing, Whole Foods needs to make "meaningful increases" in worker pay. If the store is allowed to open as is, it will only drag down wages at the other stores, causing a "race to the bottom," he said.
Now, technically, the mayor has no real legal juice in this fight. The lever he's using is that the developers are trying to buy an adjacent alleyway, a piece of public property. The final decision whether to sell it rests not with McGinn, but the City Council.
McGinn said he's using the case and his bully pulpit as mayor to take a stand on income inequality.
"This is a statement of what our values are as a city," McGinn said.
There's something to that. There's a growing movement to use government regulations to try to force wages higher, such as the proposed $15-an-hour minimum-wage ballot measure in the City of SeaTac. I'm skeptical whether that will work without major unintended consequences, but at least it's a broader-based policy affecting many businesses in a similar way.
Whereas McGinn is going after ... just Whole Foods.
"This is the first one," McGinn corrected. "This is a new effort, and we'll be looking at the wages and benefits of any large companies that want to develop using public property."
When I asked Whole Foods what it thinks of the Seattle mayor wanting to go through the company books, a spokesman, Joe Rogoff, just replied: "Have you ever heard of anything like this?"
Nope. Can't say that I have. But nobody ever said McGinn would be an ordinary mayor.

Kanye West Announces Two New Albums
Feel like you've heard just about enough from Kanye West lately? Well, that's too bad, because he's not done sharing his thoughts with you. Not by a long shot.
The 808s & Heartbreak rapper announced the releases of no fewer than two albums via (what else?) his Twitter account on Sunday, revealing the imminent release of his upcoming full-length collaboration with Jay-Z, Watch the Crown, and also spilling that his follow-up to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will drop in the summer. (Which makes a pretty impressive turn-around, given that Fantasy was just released in late November of last year.)
West wrote,
"WATCH THE THRONE COMING IN 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!...MY NEW ALBUM COMING THIS SUMMER."West also revealed that the video for "All of the Lights," from Fantasy, will be out in a week.
At this rate, West will be his own biggest competition soon.
(In case you haven't heard West's single with "Jay-Z," "H.A.M." check it out here.)
Is there such a thing as too much Kanye West? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Ray Allen led the shorthanded Celtics with 23 points, and Boston claimed a 103-96 win over the Toronto Raptors despite being without three of its top players.
Rasheed Wallace added 16 points for the Celtics, who played without Rajon Rondo (hamstring), Kevin Garnett (knee) and Paul Pierce (knee). Despite the injuries, Boston was able to snap a three-game losing streak with help from Glen Davis, who had 15 points, and Tony Allen, who had 14.
"I thought tonight we showed up with an attitude that we're going to find a way to win," said Boston head coach Doc Rivers. "We didn't know how, but we're going to find it."
Chris Bosh had a game-high 25 points to go with nine rebounds for Toronto, which had a five-game win streak snapped. Andrea Bargnani added 21 points, while Jarrett Jack had 14 and seven assists in defeat.
"We have to learn how to play like they did, where you play that hard of defense and not have fouls called against you," said Toronto head coach Jay Triano. "But they played hard defense, and they had one foul called against them in the fourth quarter, so we got to learn how to do that."
Boston had a 29-20 lead with two minutes remaining in the first quarter, but Toronto closed the period on a 7-0 run to get to within two.
The game remained close for the first half of the second quarter, then Boston began to build a lead. Ahead, 42-40, the Celtics finished the half on a 16-8 burst. Eddie House began the run with a three-pointer, and Wallace's jumper in the final minute accounted for the 58-48 score at the break.
The Raptors were never able to sustain a long run in a low-scoring third quarter, although they didn't let the Celtics pull away. Davis' layup with 1.2 seconds remaining allowed for a 78-67 Boston lead heading to the fourth.
Toronto attempted to string some points together in the fourth, getting to within five a couple times -- the last coming on a Bosh jumper with four minutes left to make it 88-83. Each time, though, the Celtics had an answer, scoring the next seven points to take a 95-83 lead on a Ray Allen three with 2 1/2 minutes to go.
The Raptors didn't get closer than five the rest of the way.

Antti Pyrhönen Column nr 4
Published on 24.11.2011 11:10Dear friends,
My racing season started ten months ago and ended in October with a big party in Lahti to celebrate my Finnish Supercross title. We had a couple of drinks with friends and sponsors at the price giving ceremony. Everyone involved in the Finnish motocross scene was there and when I walked in the room I got a heart-warming applause which made me real proud of what I have achieved.
It was a nice evening with positive people including old friends that I had not seen for months or more. Good thing the racing finished on Saturday evening so we had the night to blow off steam and sleep longer on Sunday morning.
Having been out of the game for more than one year and to come back with a fourth place in the MX3 World Championship plus another Finnish title in my pocket, I can only be a very happy man.
Sauli 'Eppu' Mäkelä did a really great job in bringing the Supercross back to Lahti where it was a big hit in the '80's – the successful racing days of Pekka Vehkonen and Mika Kouki. Eppu deserves the credits for sticking his neck out and giving the Lahti SX a rebirth. He helped me setting up a VIP area with 50 guests, all went smoothly so a big thanks goes to him and everyone involved.
I continue having the passion and focus for my sport and my motivation never has been higher to make a next step in 2012. Start healthy, work hard and then we are in the running for the World title next year. I can hardly wait for the start of the next MX3 adventure, woow check out that cool Battery poster.
In Lahti I had several meetings with existing and potential new sponsors. In these days where most people constantly talk about crisis I am happy to tell you that I have renewed my agreement with my key sponsors RASK, Battery Energy Drink, Sinisalo, Honda Bike World, Black Seven, Fit24, Forma, Shoei, HGS, Haan wheels, Moto-Master, Twin-Air, Castrol. Not only do they continue but at least half of them even increased their support which is a great sign of their believe in me. And I can announce that the well-known company Würth has come onboard with me as a new sponsor.
The weeks after Lahti I have used to meet with friends, have longer coffee breaks and enjoy some relaxing nights in the city. Forget the pressure of racing, have fun to round up the year. But I cannot relax and free-wheel too long, preparations for the new season started beginning of November.
A few weeks after Lahti I was back at the daily job. People may think that racing World Championship motocross is not a fulltime job but running your own racing team sure is a 24/7 obligation!
The daily work begins with every day's basic training to stay fit and in shape. Running and gym training is essential. Gym is a 'must', not so much with heavy weights but more cardio to stay flexible and keep the muscles alive. Eat well and rest well is also a serious part of preparing myself to be in top shape for the moment the gate drops for another race.
Another key point for me is to assist with the preparation of the bikes and get everything organized for bikes and parts. The 2012 season will be the 4th year in the existence of my own AP Racing Team. I will stay on Honda, my bikes are in the qualified hands of my good friend and loyal mechanic Jussi Heikkonen and that gives me a great feeling to start a new season full of confidence!
Insiders know I demand a lot from myself and my team. During his first year with me Jussi rapidly learned my way of working, soon he was able to work on his own. That takes a lot of work out of my hands. It leaves me more time to do other stuff and I never have to worry about my bikes. They all run smooth and I never had a DNF (did not finish) this year. Jussi enjoys travelling and that is important as we did almost 30.000 km this year to go to all the events. He is a key person in my team and he deserves a big thank you.
Another subject that takes a lot of time is the communication with sponsors and press to keep everyone updated and informed. For the big races in Finland like the MX3 and the SX we set up a big VIP are to entertain our guests and of course all these things take time and planning and money.
I can tell you now that we had an offer from a well-respected motocross Grand Prix team to join forces for next year in our attack on the title. For negotiations I travelled with my manager to the Czech Republic and I want to thank the Ufo Racing Team for a great proposal.
However, I left the decision for a while, knowing that I have my own way of working. I admit that I am very demanding and that is why we decided to stay independent and continue with my own team and I feel great about this.
I want my bikes to be tip-top, I am used to ride quite a lot during the week and have my mechanic always by my side so we can test new parts or update existing parts and find new settings to improve our result. That was a reason to continue with my own team, also because sponsors continue to supply the budget to make it possible.
We have heard that champion Julien Bill is not in a position to do the World Championship next year. Second man Milko Potisek goes to the MX1 but I am sure there will be Martin Michek and a couple of new guys to fight with me for the 2012 World Championship in MX3.
Early January I will travel to Chile and spend 5-6 weeks with the Noemi family to do basic training with the bike and some races under the sun and visit friends and sponsors that I have over there. At the moment we have a hard winter in Finland I will leave the snow and below zero degrees behind for the better weather over there in South America.
The road to score success in 2012 will be long and there will be difficulties to overcome but with the people who work with me and those who support me I am positive. The Finnish TV is thinking about a format to follow me next year in my MX3 races so that will be good for Finnish motocross and for my team.
When all is more clear and when there is more news I will report in a next column. In the meantime I continue my hard work because the sweet smell of success is such an addiction and brings so much respect from sponsors and fans. It all motivates me to continue what I love doing.
I wish everyone the best.
Kiitos ! Antti

If someone told you that the most beautiful woman in the nation weighed 10 ounces, would you believe them? Well, in 19th century America, the face of the Morgan Liberty design was the most beautiful woman in America, and she is featured on the cover of this spectacular 10 oz Morgan Silver Bar!
In 1876, George T. Morgan was tasked with finding the most beautiful woman in the nation to model as Lady Liberty, and to be featured as the face of the American monetary system for the foreseeable future. Miss Anna W. Williams was chosen to bear that burden, and remains one of the most precious monetary personages of the American nation to this day. Her face appears on the front of this elegant 10 oz bar, and the reverse sadly competes with her in the way of a cross-hatch pattern. There is no comparison, the Morgan design is a breath-taking representation of the American freedoms.
The Silver Morgan bar is inscribed, "Ten Troy Ounces Fine Silver 999+," and, as always, "Made in the U.S.A."
Purchase your own Morgan 10 oz Silver Bar today, and have fun watching the look on all of your friends' faces when you tell them that the most beautiful woman in America weighs 10 ounces, fits in your pocket, and is named Liberty!

My Steam Summer Sale 2012 List
Yowza, this was a rough one. When the sale started, I thought I was going to be fine. Nothing of interest, and I really thought this was going to be one of those I get away from because I had everything I wanted off Steam. Wrong. The flash sales and community sales were the worst party. Voting for a game meant it would go on sale, and most likely I would have to buy it.
After buying a few games, I put $50 into my steam wallet. If the money ran out, I was done. And things were good, until the Carpe Fulgur collection made me add $25 more! Eventually spent all that and had to use a couple more bucks. Altogether I spent around $110. Not COMPLETELY horrible, but scary, here's my list. I remembered most of these of the top of my head. Some I didn't. As usual.

The proposal would not raise taxes. The district has decided against seeking a levy increase.
The North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District will ask voters to renew its levy this fall.
The current levy brings in about $10 million a year, with $830 for each pupil. The owner of the average-valued home pays about $287 a year for the levy. If it's renewed, local taxes would not be increased.
"The consequences of not having this levy would be devastating to our kids," said Mark Wheeler, the school board's chair. "As an organization ... we can't do without 10 percent of our funding."
The current levy lasts until 2013, but the state allows for districts to renew a levy a year early.
"This avoids the big election year next year, and if we waited until then, it'd be do or die," Wheeler said. "Even if we run a renewal referendum this year and it fails, the current levy is still in place next year and we'll have a chance to try again."
Other local districts, including Stillwater Area Schools, also are considering placing levy question on this year's ballot.
The state has continually slashed education funding and forced districts to depend more on local tax levies for funding.
The North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District faced a $6.9 million budget shortfall for the 2011-12 school year. In January, the board approved a $4 million budget cut and use of the district's fund balance, or savings, to cover the remaining shortfall.
The board decided against asking voters to raise the levy this fall.
A survey conducted last year found that a majority of voters in the district were supportive of increasing the levy by $97 for the average homeowner, which would give the district about $300 more per pupil.
But a similar survey conducted in the spring showed that much of that support had waned. Wheeler said this could be because of the slumping economy.
"The housing market continues to decline," he said, and there's "concern about the economy in general."

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? | 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, "Why are you thinking these things? |
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say , Arise , and take up thy bed, and walk ? | 9 Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take your mat and walk'? |
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) | 10 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins . . ." He said to the paralytic, |
11 I say unto thee, Arise , and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. | 11 "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." |
12 And immediately he arose , took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed , and glorified God, saying , We never saw it on this fashion. | 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!" |
13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. | 13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. |
14 And as he passed by , he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. | 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him. |
15 And it came to pass , that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. | 15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. |
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? | 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" |
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. | 17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." |
18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast : and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast , but thy disciples fast not? | 18 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, "How is it that John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?" |

"Hey kids! Let's go to the Arizona Historical Society!" Sounds a little dull, doesn't it? Like "Let's read through our old tax returns!" For most folks, the word "history" has a dry and bookish connotation. Housed in Tempe, within a stoic brick exterior, the Historical Society's Papago Park Museum does nothing to dispel that notion … until you're inside.

Then you realize that history — like any story — requires only a proper telling.
"We use every means we can to tell our story," David Tatum explains. The curator of the AHS's Papago Park museum wants history out of dusty archives and into people's imaginations. "We have our share of plaques. But you'll also find interactive exhibits, multimedia exhibits. Things you can see or touch or even climb on. People learn in different ways."
Those include antiquated telephones that tell you about construction of the Roosevelt Dam; an electronic game board that challenges kids to read the weather like a Valley farmer and a spartan camp dwelling mockup that plays a video on Japanese-Americans interned at the Poston and Gila River camps.
The Papago Park Museum is unique in its focus, too. In a state replete with geological wonders, ancient peoples and museums chronicling them, Papago Park tracks backward from "now." A sweep of the museum's desert cities exhibit takes Arizona from wartime prosperity, through the steady trickle of postwar retirees, to the emergence of air conditioning, the rise of Sun City and the Central Arizona Project water that made us an urban frontier. The "Wallace and Ladmo" exhibit frames the iconic Arizona kids show in 1950s-era suburbia.
"Chances are that you moved here at some point," Tatum says. "This shows them how it became what it was when you arrived."
With more than 25,000 separate objects — dating back as far as 3,000 years — the AHS archives remain a primary resource for the state's historians and scholars. But their galleries make an inexpensive and generously air-conditioned stop for families who are tired of the heat, done with water parks, and anxious to exercise their minds for a little while.
The Arizona Historical Society is at 1300 N. College Ave., Tempe. It's open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for students and seniors, $3 for kids 12 to 18. Children 12 and under get in free. For more information on the Arizona Historical Society's Papago Park Museum, call (480) 929-0292 or visit them online at www.arizonahistoricalsociety.org.

It's only the end of day 3 but happy u chose 5mm for both top and bottom, no moving of implants. Dr nein said that it is rare to have the implant move unless he was to measure wrong which hasn't happened READ COMMENT
Even with all the swelling on my actual lip I love the size and shape, but I am also very swollen around my entire mouth which makes me look silly READ COMMENT

IBM Introduces New PowerLinux Solutions
IBM has introduced new IBM PowerLinux Systems and Solutions to help customers exploit the cost efficiency of Linux and virtualization for business-critical workloads.
IBM announces three new PowerLinux Solutions, including:
- IBM PowerLinux Big Data Analytics Solution – Highly threaded, parallel processing capabilities that provide optimal performance for Big Data analytics projects with the use of Apache Hadoop.
- IBM PowerLinux Industry Application Solution – A highly secure, resilient, and fully integrated platform stack for industry applications, providing smoother implementation and enabling faster time-to-delivery for new services with less downtime.
- IBM PowerLinux Open Source Infrastructure Services Solution – Cost-effective control over server and virtual image sprawl with the new PowerVM for PowerLinux virtualization technology.
The new IBM PowerLinux Solutions are made more affordable with the introduction of two new Linux-specific servers. IBM Flex System p24L Compute Node is a Linux-specific two-socket server for the recently announced IBM PureFlex System. It offers 12 or 16 POWER7 microprocessor cores, the option of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, and built-in PowerVM for PowerLinux.
The IBM PowerLinux 7R2 System is a two-socket, high-performance, energy-efficient rack server that supports 16 POWER7 microprocessor cores and a choice of industry standard Linux operating systems (RHEL or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server). It also has a built-in PowerVM for PowerLinux hypervisor, so it can run multiple Linux workloads, offering a potentially lower solution stack cost for virtualized infrastructure.
According to the company, the new PowerLinux Solutions and supporting systems are designed to provide customers with lower deployment time and costs, along with greater performance, dependability, and workload density than competitive x86 platforms at similar price points. More information is available here.

Hi everyone! I will be moving to Greeneville, TN from FL soon and would like to plant a privacy hedge in my new yard. Since I am from FL I don't know what types of hedges are available up there. I would like an evergreen, flowering would be a plus but not necessary. I would be needing something inexpensive since I will have to buy a lot of them. It would be great if I could find something like this that is already several feet high, or extremely fast growing, but not sure if that's possible. Does anyone have any ideas on the type of hedge I could use and also what gardening centers in the area would have them? I would appreciate any advice! Thanks so much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Red tip photina is my favorite, you can also do the larger forms of English laurel, Carolina laurelcherry, an evergreen viburnum that I can't think of (rough leaf maybe). All of these bloom in some form, red tip gives you new bright red foliage and small blossoms, the viburnum can bloom very earlier or even in winter and probably has the most pronounced blooms. These all seem to fit your request for an evergreen bloomer. Then there's always boxwoods and hollies (even if they are overplanted). |
- Posted by i_luv_plants (My Page) on Fri, May 11, 07 at 11:04
Thanks so much for the response. I looked up the shrubs you suggested. I can see why red tip photina is your favorite, it's stunning. I have never seen it before. The others were very pretty as well. It looks like the photina would give lots of privacy and would look great with my brick house, I think that's the shrub I want to go with. Are they easy to come by in garden centers up there? Thanks again! |
Yes, they are easy to find. I even got one at K-mart of all places (guess I shouldn't admit that). Hope you enjoy TN. Brandon |

I have a carolina jasmine on the porch in a large pot. Well shaded, and is 2 years old at about 5 ft. This winter with all the cold and rain, it appears as though it may have died. All the leaves have turned, and I am wondering if I should attempt to prune it back to promote growth....any suggestions ? |
Follow-Up Postings:
There may be no other choice. I have the same issue with Laurelcherry. |
- Posted by louisianagal z7bMS (My Page) on Tue, Mar 23, 10 at 8:44
shouldn't it be ready to bloom? if you see any little buds, then leave it,or just prune off the dead or damaged stuff. if you don't see any signs of bloom, then it is ok to prune it back hard. i bet it will come back. keep it mulched in winter. |
Carolina jessamine, not jasmine, _Gelsemium sempervirens_, is native to the Southeastern United States and, thus, is widely distributed throughout our fields and woodlands. The more sun this native vine receives, the more flowers. I suggest that you move your Carolina jessamine out of its container and into a favorable spot in your landscape. A plant growing in a container is going to be a lot colder during the winter than a plant whose feet are planted firmly in Mother Earth. |
