Mine. Expensive, slightly older clientele. Expensive, younger clientele |
Pretty swank, sjhockeyfan! The first photo looks like it's oriented towards a more traditional aesthetic. The second is really, really nice IMO. The third looks similar to my "now" one - slick & "Euro" style. |
feisty: Your 2002 version is a lot like the 2002 version in my city loft. But this one is circa 1997 (and we are debating what type of refreshes and updates to do) |
There are a lot of examples of newer builds like the last one sjhockey posted (the darker, slicker one). Things in general have been getting more and more upscale as the prices have gotten ridiculous. Here's an example of new build in a nearby neighborhood -- showing newer trends of mixed cabinetry, integrated fridges, Euro appliances and limed, greyed finishes... |

Weird, I didn't post any - nosoccermom did. Is it coming up under my screen name? |
Sorry -- that was my mistake, it was nosoccermom. |
Wow, after looking at these I checked out my area. There are not really any condos, just townhouses, apartments and homes. I looked at the newest apartment buildings and the kitchens look like the link below. Then I looked at all the newly constructed homes and also at the homes for sale over a million dollars. Conclusion- my area is about 20 years behind the rest of the country. |

texasgem - i live just north of albany, ny in the suburbs and the new builds in my area are like yours, dark wood, preferably cherry, granite, otr micro, no pro ranges. those very modern kitchens are unheard of here and would not sell. those kitchens look to me like nyc or san fran types of kitchens. |

More in my 'hood. These are all rentals. 2013/14 2010 Upscale condos for sale More rentals 2004 |
So nosoccermom, the question is, are you in NYC or San Fran? |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 11:58
I AM in San Francisco, and my own kitchen (just redone) is one of the modern ones (see pic), BUT the third and last of the ones nosoccermom posted are what they're doing here too in new-build high-end rentals and condos. Noone would put a kitchen like mine in a new-build that wasn't for a specific person. |
First, sorry nosoccermom and sjhockeyfan! I apologize for mixing up your names. No rhyme or reason for when my brain zaps happen :/ |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 12:17
Well, "soccer" and "hockey" - at least the theme is the same! |
Sjhockeyfan, I still really like your kitchen. Here in Vancouver it looks like condo designers expect that look to be highly desirable :) . Nosoccermom - pretty sharp examples! Ardcp, interesting how different areas have such different trends. Gooster, seems like similar looks are being marketed in our cities! That Shaker cab/black appliance kitchen was pretty cutting edge for 1997 :) . You have wood floors right? My reno will have horizontal grain oak cabinets stained Hardwick White (greenish grey), with River White (greyish) granite counters, and steel appliances to complement my oak floors. But I'm not going for a slick ultra-modern look. Texas_gem - the dark-stained kitchen photo you posted looks on-trend, but it doesn't look like they're trying to create a super-slick/modern look as they are in my city - more homey. |

Here in Vancouver it looks like condo designers expect that look to be highly desirable They probably copied it from a picture on Houzz like I did! |
Here is the most expensive home currently for sale. Nearly 11,000 sq ft, 4 bed, 7 bath 2.25 million. Tile floor, very traditional looking cabinetry. Definitely nothing euro about this style! |

In SF (I know it's insane), for $2.25 million, you'd be lucky to get 2,250 square feet! |
I know! Real estate prices in other parts of the country are always shocking to me. Our first home was 1100 sq ft and we bought it for 64,000. Of course I'm sure the average salary in areas like NYC and SF are also much higher so I'm sure it evens out. |
Texas_gem, I would cry if I had to clean that kitchen! Sjhockeyfan - good point. There may be very little original design involved on their part. Condos in my 'hood go for $500K - and this is not the most desirable neighbourhood in the area. |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 13:46
so I'm sure it evens out Ha Ha - I wish :-) |
I think condos tend to be more modern, in general, than homes. The homes in our burbs and outlying communities do tend to be more traditional. The starter homes tend to be more modern, and the more expensive homes a mix of either modern or traditional. The kitchen example I posted above is from San Francisco and is probably near the forefront of what's being put in. There was a phase a few years ago of things looking more industrial -- lots of raw wood and exposed ducts. And a phase with darker and mid toned woods -- then a phase with shiner lacquer. Whatever modern trend hit, people did it. In my 17 year old case, it was probably slightly ahead of the curve at the time. Now, it reads pretty dated. I'm told that when these lofts first started being built/converted (from warehouses), the finishes were pretty low end. My building was part of the wave when the finishes started to get a little nicer. Now, the new builds are insanely expensive and prices beginning to start at $1,000 per square foot (yes, 1G). At that price point, the builders and flippers are putting in higher end finishes and appliances. feisty: yes, my unit has wood floors. I'm debating on upgrading, tweaking (hardware/fixtures/lighting, appliances, maybe counters/BS), or selling. |

I'm in the DC area, so plenty of international influence. While salaries are higher, home prices are still relatively higher. Median household income is 88K, the median home sales price is $372,500. The condo kitchens that are rentals go for around 2.5-4K/month. Kitchen in 3300 sqft house on a 6900 sqft lot in a nice location in DC, asking price 2.4 mio. 5500 sqft, 1/2 acre lot, 9.8 mio |

nosoccermom - 1,000 sf condo in older building on a very nice street in Dupont Circle, typical U-shape apartment kitchen open to living room/dining room combo, $700,000 before kitchen and bathroom redone, no parking. |
If I have more time I'll post some pictures from Charleston. It'll be a time warp to 10 years ago. The modern look is something that a lot of people we know think looks nice, but that everyone is afraid of doing on their own. I guess we're pioneers over here. :) |
I know there are advantages to living in one of those cities (NYC, San Fran, DC, LA). But for the life of me I can't think why anyone who wasn't rich would want to live there. I live in Nashville, and it's a vibrant city with great cultural life. And I can support my family of 4 with just a teacher's salary. We live in a modest but well appointed 2200 square foot house with a decent yard and garden. And we have plenty of money left to save, travel, eat out, and give. I can't imagine both me and my wife having to work like dogs to barely squeeze out a mortgage payment on a postage-stamp sized dump! |
- Posted by sjhockeyfan (My Page) on Fri, Apr 25, 14 at 13:57
Well, mine isn't a postage-stamp sized dump, but I hear you. I love living here, but I agree the cost of living is nutty. |
As you move into the outlying areas and go into the various neighborhoods in the greater Bay Area, the price declines quite a bit and the size increases quite a bit. Affordability in the City itself is a huge issue, especially for families. I know of firefighters that live 80 miles away and only come in for their shifts. That said, 15% of most of the new construction is set aside for below market rate units, and there is rent control. Nevertheless, the booming economy is causing affordability to go down, in particular with neighborhoods popular among the techies. And, I may work like a dog at times, and our loft is getting dated and too small for full time usage, but the location does have its appeals. However, the weather is too cool most of the year, the threat of earthquakes looms and there is the expense. Having said that, attached is a nearby listing of a mid end example. The prior examples I posted were more entry level. |
sjhockey, I certainly didn't mean to imply your house was a dump. Your kitchen is beautiful. But since I'm a teacher and my wife is a stay-at-home mom (who would no doubt go back to teaching) a dump is all we could afford. Or commute 2 hours every day. |

"The District's average teacher pay of $77,512 in 2013 is the highest in the region. Montgomery County is second, at $74,855; Fairfax County is sixth, at $64,813." |
Whoa! That's SIGNIFICANTLY higher than teacher pay in the South. The highest paid PhD teachers in our district make less than that. I've heard the DC schools are really tough, though. I think I might have derailed the thread. Back on topic: Texas Gem, that $2 million kitchen is really awful |
The world of condos is a fascinating phenomenon that is all about high real estate prices. What has been interesting here in Vancouver has been that, while real estate prices have soared and soared for decades now, the condos really don't increase in value proportionately to detached homes. In other words, if I had bought a same-priced house in 2001 instead of a condo, my real estate would be worth a LOT more. Edb2n, it's great that you feel good about your choices. I know that we pay a high price for living where we do - and it does affect our quality of life in many ways. So many interesting photos being posted! I actually really like the size of a condo kitchen - when the layout truly works. Though I love how they look, I don't think I would feel comfortable working in a huge kitchen. I've always worked in small kitchens because most of my previous homes were very old when small was the norm. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 10:31
Yeah, derailing the thread. However, keep in mind that real estate is substantially higher than in most parts of the country. So if you want to live within 30 minutes drive and also in a reasonable school district, there is slim pickings for under 600K. This is what sold in suburban MD within the last 3 months for 540K, 3BR, 2BA, just under 1500 sqft. Nothing in the western part, downtown or Capitol Hill in DC. 160K buys you a cute efficiency that's 324 sqft. with 400.00/month HOA fee. |

edb, no offense taken - I really didn't think you were referring to my place at all! |
We used to watch House Hunters on HGTV (until I found it was fake). This was pre-housing crash. Anyway, people in California would be looking at these tiny, dirty old houses that cost $600,000. We would wonder who all these people are that can afford these houses? And where do the regular people live? In Nashville, the only people buying $600,000 houses are surgeons, Titans players, and Country Music stars. |
- Posted by smalloldhouse (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 13:59
@nosoccermom, you posted a link to a house just down the street from me! Of course the only reason that one sold so inexpensively is that it sits just next to a bike trail that will soon be turned into a commuter rail. (the Purple line) otherwise it probably would have been considerably higher! Schools and commute are a big factor in the cost - a few miles away and it would be significantly less. The real estate disparity in these forums is hard to miss. My house definitely qualifies as a dump to quote the PP. But even the McMansions in close in DC neighborhoods don't have kitchens as large as many of those posted here. And the huge amount of condo construction that has taken place in the city over the past decade is all targeted toward a high end clientele, which is why you see such slick kitchens in the examples @nosoccermom posted. |
I saw a story recently that there is no home or condo in SF currently on the market that a teacher could afford on a single salary. For them, the answer is the suburbs or a double income household. On the other hand, a household with an engineer, programmer, or someone in finance with about five to 10 years of work experience in Silicon Valley generally could afford that 600K home, as long as they didn't have a lot of other debt and could afford the down payment. Affordability, however, is a big issue and more commonly you'll see two income families. The average programmer, according to reports, makes $110 to 130K, and things go up from there with education, experience and level. |
- Posted by nosoccermom (My Page) on Sat, Apr 26, 14 at 14:29
Yes, and the kitchen in the 2.4 mio dollar house above wouldn't make too many people on GW swoon :) The "real" people are two-earner families and/or live way out, or in a "dump." My house sure wouldn't satisfy even the House Hunters Virgins. So, this house sold within a few days at above asking price. Nice location and good schools. (Then, of course, you still pay about 12K in property taxes) |

A combination of higher-than-expected oil prices this year and currency depreciation should mean extra revenues for the Russian budget in 2014.
Despite the slow Russian economy, HSBC expects a federal budget surplus in Russia of 0.3% of GDP in 2014.
But headline inflation will likely rise to 7% in 2015, versus the 5.9% forecasted, HSBC says. With the impact of sanctions and political uncertainty, HSBC expects no growth in Russian GDP this year, and lowered its outlook for 2015 to a decline of 1% from growth of 1%.
In its global outlook for the fourth quarter and beyond, HSBC says
"The pass-through effect from a weaker RUB that we expect in 2014 and 2015 as well as higher taxes, mandatory fees and administrative prices will give inflation an additional boost in 2015. Headline inflation will likely end up higher than the 6.0% official tolerance ceiling as a result. However, moderating credit growth and the weakness of business activity should bring inflation down through 2015 and we
expect the authorities to start gradual policy easing not earlier than 2016, once
inflation is firmly back on a deceleration trend.
The approved medium-term budget for 2014-16 stipulates a modest rise in spending for 2015 and a small budget deficit of just 1% of GDP. We expect that the weaker currency will help reduce the budget deficit to below 1% of GDP while keeping government borrowing and public debt at very low levels. However, subnational budgets will likely keep accumulating debts in order to finance federal expenditure mandates, which would give rise to solvency risks for some subnational budgets."
HSBC released its forecasts for GDP and inflation in a recent report on the outlook for global economies in which it lowered the outlook for emerging markets, reflecting increased monetary risks. HSBC writes:
"Of the major emerging nations, the biggest disappointments are Brazil and, thanks to the impact of sanctions and related political uncertainty, Russia …"
The Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) is up 0.59% today and the iShares MSCIRussia Capped ETF (ERUS) is up 0.65%. As for trading vehicles: the Direxion Daily Russia Bear 3X Shares (RUSS) fell 1.83%, while the Direxion Daily Russia Bull 3X Shares (RUSL) rose 1.66%.
HSBC's quarterly strategy report concerning equity investing in the so-called frontier markets hit my in box today. And John Lomax, the bank's head of global emerging markets equity strategy, remains bullish on frontier markets for the long-term. But for short-term investors, Lomax says there are better opportunities in the emerging market universe.
It's a change of pace for Lomax compared to his bullish call in January. But the short-term appeal of frontier marekts has been scuttled by valuations, the delay in tapers by the U.S. Federal Reserve and stabilizing Chinese economic data.
The MSCI Frontier Markets Index has gained 20% in the last 12 months, compared to a 5% gain for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. That's after trailing emerging markets from the beginning of 2009 through the end of 2012.
Lomax writes:
Frontier markets have been seen as a rather uncorrelated place to hide at a time when GEMs equities (especially the BRIC countries) have been performing poorly. Since we now expect BRIC to perform better, it makes less sense to hide….when BRICs perform well, FMs tend to underperform.
With less advanced capital markets than others in the developing world, frontier markets are a sort of "second-generation" or pre-emerging market.
Of the 14 frontier markets Lomax covers in Asia, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, he downgraded his outlook on Qatar from Positive to Negative; reduced Kuwait from Neutral to Negative and cut Kenya from Positive to Neutral.
Lomax upgraded Kazakhstan to Positive from Neutral and initiated coverage on Morocco at Positive.
China's communist party is about to embark on its once-a-decade change in leadership. And what will those leaders do to reinvigorate China's slowing economy?
Quite a lot, according to a trio of economists and analysts from HSBC. In a 63-page research report entitled "China's Big Bang" published today, Qu Hongbin, Sun Junwei and Ma Xiaoping foresee not only monetary and fiscal easing, but also coordinated reform that will revolutionize China's financial system.
In fact, they predict financial reform will top the policy agenda for several years once the new leadership takes office in early 2013. Hongbin, Junwei and Xiaoping write:
This chain reaction will change the trajectory of the institutions and policies that are all intertwined – banks, bonds, interest rates, the opening of the capital account and the convertibility of the RMB – triggering a wave of deregulation that could happen much faster than many people think. We think interest rates will be liberalized, the bond market will double in size and the RMB will become convertible within five years. These changes would not only make capital allocation more efficient, boosting the private sector, but also provide the middle class with greater choice about where to put their money so they can earn a higher return and therefore spend more. This should help rebalance growth from investment to consumption and lift the potential growth rate in the coming years.
Emerging markets have been synonymous with growth, but the outlook for individual nations is constantly changing. Countries from Brazil and Russia to Turkey face challenges including infrastructure bottlenecks, credit issues and political shifts. Barrons.com's Emerging Markets Daily blog analyzes news, data and research out of emerging markets beyond Asia to help readers navigate the investment landscape.

So is my beer not good
One way to find out. Finish the process and taste it. Some brews are just more vigorous than others.
Its in the keg for 5 days now. I tasted it when i got home from work today and it tasted a little??? Different like bubbly. something of that line
I was thinking about this not a little while ago and maybe someone can answer me this. Yeast goes through aerobic respiration when there is O2 present and they basically produce more yeast and store nutrients until you choke them off of O2 (thus the airtight seal). Once you choke off the little bastards they start producing alcohol until they use up the sugar or hit a certain level of alcohol and then flocculation back into a hibernative state. But if the process is interrupted like this when the cap pops off when they are at the fermentation stage, do they go back to aerobic respiration gobbling up sugars but not producing alcohol until you choke them off the second time? Or do they simply continue into flocculation or suspend their cycle completely?

Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- European Commission President Jose Barroso will today lay out his vision of what the comprehensive response to the debt crisis should encompass, a person familiar with the matter said.
Barroso this afternoon will unveil proposals on coordinating bank recapitalizations across the EU, on Greece and private-sector participation in its bailout, and on the region's rescue funds, according to the person, who declined to be named because the proposals aren't yet public.
Barroso will announce the proposals, which also will cover the economy and economic governance, in a speech to the European Parliament at 3 p.m. in Brussels, the person said.

Criminal Lawyer Education and Training Requirements
Criminal lawyers specialize in the defense of individuals who have been accused of committing a crime. They research cases, represent clients in court and negotiate punishments. Prospective criminal lawyers typically complete seven years of full-time study at an accredited university and law school, pass the bar exam and secure licensure before practicing law.
Education Information for Criminal Lawyers
The path to becoming a criminal lawyer starts with an undergraduate degree from a 4-year college or university. Though many schools offer a pre-law curriculum targeted towards future lawyers, there is not a specific bachelor's degree required for this field. A potential criminal lawyer may benefit from classes in government, history, economics, public speaking or sociology. Law school admissions are very selective, so applicants should try to complete a well-rounded undergraduate program with high grades.
After earning a bachelor's degree, prospective criminal lawyers must apply to, and attend, a law school accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) or their state bar authorities. Admission requirements typically include high Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores, undergraduate transcripts, work experience, letters of recommendation and a personal interview.
Law School
Once enrolled in a law school, students complete a 3-year program that combines core courses, specialized courses in criminal law and practical experience; many programs also include internships. Criminal law classes typically cover research and writing for criminal law, working with evidence, litigation strategies and ethics in criminal law. Most programs also require students to fulfill writing, general ethics and professionalism requirements as well. Upon completion, law school graduates receive a Juris Doctor (J.D.) and are eligible to take the state bar exam.
Continuing Education and Licensure
Lawyers are required to pass the bar exam before practicing law. Bar examinations are administered by individual state agencies and only license the individual within that state. The test is given nationwide twice a year. Students must typically pass a character evaluation and background test before being granted admission to the bar.
Most states also require lawyers to meet continuing education requirements in order to stay up-to-date on developments in the legal fields and law changes. These courses may be taken through national and state bar associations, law schools or even on the Internet.
Training Recommendations
While in law school, prospective criminal lawyers should take advantage of any clinical programs and training opportunities available. A clinical program allows students to work in the law school's legal clinic and provide free legal advice and services to other students, under the supervision of the program professor.
Most schools provide other training options in which students work directly with a law professor or experienced lawyer, such as through internships in a law firm, mock trial competitions or writing for the school's law journal. Students seeking additional experience may also secure a part-time job as a law clerk or research assistant.

Young babies love to feel all snug and secure, just like when they were in mummy's tummy. The Gro-swaddle is simply a clever shaped wrap that goes round your baby with no need for poppers, Velcro® or ties. Just enough fabric to keep your baby snug, but not so much that they get too hot or have to be wound up like a bandage. Perfect. Fingers crossed for a good night's sleep all-round.
Material: 100% Cotton
Brand: GRO
Origin: Imported
Gro Company founders Rob and Ouvrielle Holmes invented the Grobag baby sleeping bag, Gro's signature invention, after trying to get their newborn son Sam to sleep. Around the time their second child was born, the UK-based couple decided to produce Grobags for other new parents who might be searching for an alternative to fussy baby blankets and sheets. Launched in September 2000, Gro instantly made an impact: today, more than 95 percent of British parents use baby sleeping bags. With a line of products that includes newborn swaddles, color-changing Gro-egg thermometers, clocks, and nightlights in addition to its signature sleep sacks (available in sizes 0-6 months, 6-18 months and 18-36 months), Gro has demonstrated an unflagging commitment to making sure that little ones everywhere sleep soundly and safely.

Senate passes its 4-year wage planMONTPELIER The Senate has given final approval to a minimum wage bill, setting up a showdown with the House over just how fast the states lowest-paid workers should see a boost in their pay.
The Senate approved its version of the legislation Monday after defeating two additional amendments.
This version will raise the minimum hourly rate for workers to $10.50 in 2018. First it would raise the rate from its current $8.73 an hour to $9.15 on Jan. 1. The wage would then go to $9.60, $10 and $10.50 over the next three years. Annual cost-of-living increases based on the consumer price index would resume in 2019.
The House-passed version would raise the rate to $10.10 on Jan. 1, followed by increases based on the consumer price index.
Sen. Peter Galbraith, D-Windham, offered an amendment Monday that would require companies with 50 or more employees to pay at least $12 an hour. The proposal, he said, was based on broad sympathy for the idea that Vermont taxpayers should not be subsidizing low-wage employees at very profitable companies through social welfare programs.
This is a provision that reflects the debate that we had on Friday, Galbraith said. This is a bill that will help Vermont taxpayers. It will put some extra money into the pockets of low-wage earners, and it will not impact small businesses.
Galbraith said locally owned franchises would be subject to the higher wage requirement if the parent company had more than 50 employees.
The Senate rejected his amendment on an 18-10 vote after Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, the chairman of the Senate Economic Development Committee, said the committee found it unfavorable.
Another amendment offered by Sen. Peg Flory, R-Rutland, was also defeated. She sought a 12-week training wage of 85 percent of minimum wage.
This is fashioned on the very same law that applies to the federal minimum wage, she said.
Galbraith questioned whether a company could hire an entire seasonal staff and pay the lower wage, then rehire the same staff again at the lower wage.
Flory said both federal and case law would prevent that from happening.
However, Flory acknowledged a ski resort could rehire a lift attendant for another position at the lower wage if that person was foolish enough to do it.
If youre hiring them for a new job with new job skills you probably would be able to, she said.
The Economic Development Committee also opposed that amendment, Mullin said. It failed on a 22-4 vote.
A conference committee will likely be requested by the House to hammer out the differences in the two versions.
Rep. Helen Head, D-South Burlington, the chairwoman of the House General Affairs Committee, wrote in an email Monday evening that she had not seen the Senates final version. However, a conference committee was likely to be requested unless the Senate moved much closer (than what was proposed by Senate Economic Development) to the House version of the bill.
Both chambers bills differ from what Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin wants. He has called for increasing the wage to $10.10 by 2017 in three stages. He has been touting that plan since attending a March event in Connecticut with President Barack Obama and other New England governors.

As Decker's story illustrates, having a little wiggle room when financing a major purchase can go a long way toward bolstering cash flow at a critical juncture in your company's growth. Like Decker, you may be able to structure loan payments to coincide with the cash flow generated by a major new investment, or even negotiate a delay in the first payment until the new asset--whether it's a new piece of equipment or a construction project--starts generating revenue for your business.
"It's important to ask your lender [about your options]," says Debra Lins, president and CEO of Community Business Bankin Sauk City, Wisconsin. "The environment has gotten pretty competitive, so they have been forced into having more flexibility."
Lins has plenty of experience with creative loan structuring. "Many times during a construction project, you will go interest-only for a period of time to get the equipment in there and get things up and running," Lins says. She has also offered flexible-financing arrangements to clients with seasonal businesses, such as landscaping firms, which have to contend with inconsistent cash-flow patterns. Such a company may opt, for instance, to make loan payments from April until November. "Or they may make interest [payments] on one schedule and principal [payments] on another," according to Lins. "They may pay interest quarterly but make a principal reduction once a year. It depends on [their business cycle]."
Mary Hasheider opted for an interest-only payment strategy when she needed a $20,000 loan to buy a special computer system for her PR firm, Galena LLCin Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin. "We wanted to explore ways we could ease some of our cash-flow needs and still meet our goals as far as servicing our debt on a timely basis," Hasheider recalls.
Lins, Hasheider's banker, ultimately agreed to interest-only payments for the first year--long enough for the $1 million company to gain additional footing. Says Hasheider, "Having this flexibility, even for a short period of time, helped us during a critical time of building our business."
Putting Off Payment
The reality is that for some businesses, it can take a considerable amount of time to transform a new purchase into a profitable part of their operations. For that reason, it's not uncommon for certain companies, such as manufacturing firms, to forgo payments on a new asset until it is actually generating revenue. Indeed, business financing consultant Fred Scennabrokered a deal for a manufacturer that allowed the company to put off payment for a major equipment purchase until the equipment had been installed and the necessary employees had been trained to use it--even though the financing had been finalized several months earlier.
"The loan doesn't start until they sign off on the machine from whomever they've purchased it to make sure it's up and running and the people have been trained," the Collegeville, Pennsylvania, accountant explains. "That typically could be anywhere from three to six months. You want to tell [your lender], 'I'm paying on something that's not generating any revenue, so why put me in the hole? It's to your benefit that we [have some flexibility].'"
To present lenders with a strong case for flexibility, you should develop a P&L analysis for the item being financed, clearly identifying any associated startup costs, including employee hours lost to training, Scenna suggests. He cautions, however, that these kinds of deals do not happen overnight, and he stresses the importance of notifying lenders well in advance of any major purchase plans, even if you're still just researching a new piece of equipment. "Then, when it comes time to do it, there's less education you have to do with them," Scenna observes. "They will probably be more receptive to it."
Decker, meanwhile, warns business owners against putting all their eggs in one basket, even if it means breaking away from an established lending relationship, as she did, to find financing flexibility. "You have to keep your options open and be flexible," she says. "And sometimes that can be difficult. I had a very established banking relationship and a level of comfort with [my lender] as well, but you have to be willing to look outside that sometimes for the good of the business."

The New York Times this morning reported two national polls completed Sunday that show a double-digit lead for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in preference for the Democratic nomination – the Times' own, with CBS News; and one from Gallup with USA Today. There were, however, two others – from Gallup alone and from AP/Ipsos – that show a much closer race, virtually dead heats (Obama +2 and +3).
With these differences beyond sampling error, the reason why is a puzzlement. Frank Newport of Gallup has a piece on Gallup.com discussing how his organization has two polls on the same day, one with Obama +12, the other with Obama +2, but he arrives at no firm conclusions. Question order always is a possible culprit, but it doesn't usually make for differences like these. All four polls had about the same numer of undecideds. One was among likely voters, but the other three were among the general population. And the two conflicting Gallup polls had the largest sample sizes.
I've noted before that primary polling, lacking the anchoring influence of partisanship, can be a squirrelly affair. Sampling approaches can cause differences (e.g., ABC News and The Washington Post alone have oversampled African-Americans in every poll we've done this cycle). And there can be flexion points around which polls simply differ because attitudes are unsettled.
For the moment, with the cause of these differing estimates up in the air, when considering the two national polls that show Obama ahead it would be prudent also to keep in mind the two that show the race essentially tied.
But all of them, of course, are a far cry from the substantial Clinton lead we saw in ancient times – like a month ago.

Previous discussion..........http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f18/remington-770-vs-remington-model-700-a-47385/
ryno, there is a big difference between the two. nothing will interchange as they are two completely different actions. the 770, the bolt is sloppy, the trigger is heavy and feels gritty, the triggerguard is molded into the stock, and the it and finish is crappy. i had one once, couldn't wait to get rid of it. if you have to, save up a little more and buy the M700 instead, way better rifle. if your budget only allows that price range, check out the Savage Axis, the Stevens 200, or the Marlin X7 series of rifles. much better in the long run.
Cool. I appreciate it. I'm sure ill ahave q's...
Brownells doesn't have any. How much did you pay for yours? The action that is? I need the long action for 30.06 rite? Thanx
The only comment I have is that I have never heard anything good about the Remington 770 from anybody who has one. I know a bunch of people bought them because they were a lot cheaper than the 700s and other popular rifles, but they are not getting good reviews. Ammo is going to cost the same no matter what rifle it is shot through, so why not spend a little more and get one that would shoot better? To each his own, your money, your gun.
I picked up a Remington 770 a couple weeks ago for $280 OTD. I am not a big deer hunter but I did not want to be restricted to a shotgun for the once or twice a year that I go. It came with a bore sighted bushnell scope. I shot 40 rounds through it last weekend and I believe it's a fine rifle for what it is. And what it is, is a cheap entry level rifle. I was drilling 3" groups at 150 yards, I know that is not a long ways out, but it will fit me needs. It's not a top quality firearm, but it seems fairly accurate and goes boom when the trigger is pulled. Mine is a .308 BTW.

What I am looking for is something like what the Lexus LX470 has on it.
Any ideas?
wavshrdr Posts: 1Hello all!
I highly recommend the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs (9007 size for the Excursion) if you want an excellent bulb that is both brighter and whiter than stock. At the same time I would suggest getting rid of the crappy stock wiring harness and going with one from www.suvlights.com (you can get the bulbs there too). You would be surprised what a difference going with the stock bulbs but upgrading the wiring harness can make.
While you are there check out have the harness setup so that when you engage the high beams, both the high and low beam filaments go on at the same time. What a huge improvement in the lighting of my truck for under $100. If you go with higher wattage bulbs, the stock wiring harness is a real drain (pun intended). There is a pretty big voltage drop across the wire indicating a lot of resistance so your stock bulbs don't even their full voltage let alone your newer higher wattage bulbs. Another handy little device is a set of auxiliary lights that bolt on to the rear hitch that add a lot of light when you are backing up but don?t interfere with your hitch.
Some other mods worth considering are getting rid of the stock crappy shocks. I have a diesel "X" (Excursion) and the stock shocks are miserable. Even new they were pathetic. If you want to be amazed, go look at the clearance between your axle and springs and the bump stops (little rubber bumpers above the springs). The bump stops are the last line of defense for your stock suspension to prevent severe damage if you hit a big bump. It helps control the suspension when it "bottoms out" so you don't feel it slam really hard.
If your truck is like mine, there is less than an inch (closer to half) of suspension travel!!!! Most cars and trucks have 3-4? of suspension travel. Brand new, my truck had less than an inch. What this means to those of you who don?t understand suspension systems is the truck rides like crap compared to what it should do. There is no suspension available to absorb the bumps. I think Ford put a very soft spring to make it feel better on some freeways but its WAY too soft and causes problems. Ever wonder why your Excursion wallows like an elephant in the river when you go around turns? Three reasons: crappy shocks, no rear sway bar and too soft of springs.
After replacing my shock I couldn?t believe the difference it made. Much ?crisper? handling AND better ride both. I drove an X with a rear sway bar and I gotta have that. There is no mistaking that it is still a truck but what a difference. It?s a lot closer to a sports car than it is a truck after these mods.
For those of you looking at improved power AND mileage for your diesel, run, don?t walk, and buy a SCMT programmer for your rig. SCMT is Super Chips Micro Tuner that reprograms your ECU (engine?s computer) for more performance and better mileage. It makes the truck run like it should have from the factory and it also improves the transmissions shifts (both quality and smoothness) and reduces the temperatures too.
Now for the really bad stuff about the truck (but easily fixed). Ford in their crappy design of the diesel?s fuel system cut a lot of corners. It makes the engine much louder than it should be AND sacrifices both fuel economy and performance. The stock fuel injection system loves to suck air. This air is bad for the fuel injectors. There are many places this truck can suck air in the fuel system. Rather than bore you all with a lot of technical descriptions, go to www.ford-diesel.com (if you have a diesel) and browse through the forums for the ?7.3L Power Stroke Engine and Drivetrain? and look for fuel mods or the h/x mod or the pre-pump mod or the tank mod.
Believe me, after you do some of the things, you will be amazed at the difference in your truck. My 4WD diesel X will routinely get close 20 mpg on the highway with the AC on at 70 mph and a pretty full load in the truck. When I started out, I was only getting 16 mpg under the same conditions. Check out some of the mods before the damage is done to your truck. If you have a diesel, I highly recommend getting a set of gauges (boost, EGT, tranny temp) as well as a turbo time or turbo nanny. This will add years of life to your engine.
Hope this helps some of you. I love my truck but I am aware of its shortcomings too. -
01exc Posts: 1I have an 01 X w/7.3 with 45000 mi. I have had so many repairs (turbo, intercooler, A/C, alternator, front lock-out hubs, window motors, radio/cd player, headlight switch, etc., etc.) that I can't even remember what all has been done. The weird part is that I still love the truck. I am extremely particular with my vehicles and never abuse them, so the repairs are not a result of that. It has used a qt of oil every 1100-1300 mi since it was new. Two friends of mine who also have Xs don't use any oil between oil changes. In one of their trucks the oil stays crystal clear for at least 4000 mi. In mine the oil is dirty in 500-1000 miles and we are both using Rotella. Ford says there isn't a problem until it starts using oil at the rate of 1 qt in 800 mi! Can someone report honestly what their oil consumption experience has been?
Additionally,I was unhappy with the towing performance and fuel mileage. I pull a 5500lb (loaded weight) "V" nose, fully enclosed snowmobile trailer. I got 7-9 mpg while towing at 65-70 mph during the last two winters. I would get 13-15 mpg highway with just the truck. Not the kind of mileage I expected when I bought a diesel. I looked into the performance chips/programmers and decided to try the Super Chips Mod #1705. What a difference! The truck is way more responsive, extremely powerful and I picked up 3-4 mpg highway. I have yet to tow with it but hope that I can at least hit 11-12 mpg. My combination city/highway is 12.5-14.5 mpg.
As far as the axle bumpers in the front, does anybody know why the Xs have such sort travel and the identical chassis in a P/U has 4"-6". I have asked Ford via email and gotten no response. Since no one will talk about this I have a theory. I think that Ford must have had a roll-over problem during development and solved the problem by limiting the front suspension travel. If the front-end can't dive excessively in a turning/avoidance maneuver then you decrease the chances of a roll-over.
I would be very curious to hear some other figures on mileage, oil consumption, performance, problems, etc. The buddy who's oil stays so clean (02 X, 7.3) has let me program the 1705 into his truck for comparison. I was shocked to find out that the power increase was obscene in his truck. Not only that, but after de-programming his truck and driving it, I was disgusted to find out that his X ran as good in stock tune as mine does with the full high performance tuning from the 1705. We then installed a temporary boost gauge first in my truck then in his. Mine would boost no higher than 15-16 lbs in stock tune while his would boost 18-19 lbs in stock tune. I called International and they said that they like to see 19-20 lbs. That tells me that something is wrong with my truck but three dealers have said that nothing's wrong.
Any suggestions!! -

ed269 Posts: 1Sorry for a dated reply. I have an 02 diesel. I get up to 16-18 mpg when not towing. With heavy city driving it will drop to 14-16 mpg. These numbers are with the Banks kit I've had for the last 18 months. And these numbers are manually calculated. I found the Ford display shows mileage that is 1-2 mpg higher than actual.
When towing a travel trailer weighing about 9500# I will get between 8 and 12.5 mpg. The average is close to 10 mpg. This is at speeds up to 70-75 mph. When I slow down to 60-65 mph it is at the higher figure above. With the Banks kit I can pull in OD on all but the steepest grades.
I have yet to figure out the wide variance but speed, winds, outside temperature, and road grade all playing a part. Our trips have been from NC to CO and WY. Last year we hit temp up to 109 degrees.
When not towing I will not add a quart in 5,000 miles. I use Amzoil 15w-40 synthetic oil. When towing, I'll add a quart about every 2,500 miles. My oil does not get really black unless I am towing. I've had car diesels before and was very surprised at this. I was use to pitch black oil in 500 miles. -
mdobec Posts: 1I BOUGHT A 04 EXCURSION 4X4 WITH 6.0 DIESEL FOR TOWING MY 9000LBS TRAILER. AFTER DRIVING 4500 MILES, MY AVERAGE WAS 9MPG. IVE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS WITH SAME ENGINE AND PACKAGE AND THEY AVERAGE BETWEEN 15 TO 18 MPG. IVE NOT ADDED ANY PERFORMANCE UPGRADES DUE TO THE FACT I DONT WANT TO VOID FACTORY WARRANTY. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL IMPUTE ANYONE WOULD HAVE.
southernbug Posts: 1I own a 2000 Excursion and found out we had a governor on the car. Forgive my asking this, as I was totally unaware of governors being installed on privately owned vehicles and would like to know more about them and why they are mandated. We bought it used
after our 1993 E-150 van was totalled. We love it and get about 600 miles to the tank.
I would also like to increase that MPG and would love to know how you all did yours. -
jdphil2 Posts: 1First of all this is my first post so let me say HI. I am now the proud owner of a 2005 Eddie Bauer Excursion. Since I live in the south I don't really need a 4X4 and I have a jeep for that I got the 2wd V-10. I just got back from a nice road trip to the NE 5k and have some questions. I really love the vehicle and I did not get it to save on gas but what can I do to get better mileage out of the V-10. I have gone thru a ton of posts about the diesel but I have not found anything to assist someone in what to do about gasoline engines. I would appreciate any assistance I can get. From the posts I am in agreement about that shocks and will change them here shortly. I also think the rear sway bar is a good idea. I just need to get it here to the house and put it on. Tks.
mikevg Posts: 2I too am new here so let me say Howdy to all!!!
I have a 2000 V10 "X" and have enjoyed it , it's a 2wd but i wanted the lifted look, not lifted it just looked like a staion wagon on steroids , so we put a 6" Fabtech lift kit, BFG A/T 35's, K and N intake system and a Gibson Cat Back exhaust, so far thats it, would like to upgrade the stereo and get some TV's for the kids, in time i guess.
We have a 21' Ultra Jet boat and the "X" tows her like nothin', i'm getting 10 and sometimes 12 mpg if i keep out if the throttle. Had to replace the tranny while still in the warranty time, was towing from Laughlin Nevada back home to Fontana Ca. and the tranny just died, that was a long afternoon/evening, but the dealer took care of it no problem, Thanks to Citrus Ford in Ontario CA.

23fords Posts: 2I too am curious about mods to the V10. Chips, exhaust, intake, etc. to improve mileage and power. I do not expect to get "high mileage" but 13 would be nice. Additionally, what can I do to improve the handling"? The front-end has a mind of its own. Any advice would be appreciated.
milsuperdoc Posts: 29Hi I am the new owner of a 2000 X
and I am very happy about everything except the mpg, I knew
better than to expect great mileage but we have not gotten better than 8.7mpg no matter what we do... it has the vortex valve already, it came with it... what else can we do??
Thanks for the help -
zuma27 Posts: 3Sorry milsuperdoc, but someone's got to break it to you-
You see, the Ford Excursion is one of the biggest suvs/ residential vehicles on the road- meaning it has one of the biggest appetites for gas on the road-that's not bad if you don't mind. My suggestion/question to you is- Is your Ford a two wheel or four wheel drive model? That sometimes can make or break your fuel economy. Of course if you need four wheel drive(unlike me who has lived in the
Atlanta area), you'll be paying more at the pump. I guess it's your call. -
guest Posts: 774Do you have any pictures of your Excursion? I have an 04 4x4 that I am currently shopping for a lift kit for. I have gotten a few quotes but I don't know if a 4" or a 6" is going to be best for me. Right now the one on deck is a 6" kit with 35's, just like you said you have. I would like to see what it is going to look like.
Also, any trouble with Ford replacing your tranny with the lift on it? I've heard that can be a touchy subject at the dealer? Thanks -

bigdraws2k01 Posts: 3Now I know there are plenty of upgrades for the diesel engines, but for the v10's there out there you have to be willing to pay the price. I found and intalled a supercharger for the v10 and that was the best thing I could have ever done. Imagine a vehicle waying over 10000lbs burning rubber. Oh and my weight is increased due to the texas style bumpers on the front and rear. It also has a 4inch lift with 35's. Trust me if you have the cash you will be inpressed.

Anyone who left Atlee High School early Monday evening after watching the James River girls tennis team sweep all six singles matches over the Raiders left prematurely.
Although the team victory was no longer in doubt, the Raider girls redoubled their mindsets, and their efforts, and swept the three doubles matches to make the final score Rapids 6, Raiders 3.
"It was like watching two completely different matches," said Atlee head coach Richard Hanson. "In singles play, they looked afraid, unsure of themselves. In doubles matches, they were sure of their ability. I was very proud of the way they bounced back."
Accomplishing the feat of sweeping the doubles matches after being so thoroughly dominated in singles action, as Hanson noted, took a lot of mental toughness. It was an impressive way to end what had started as a very lost evening.
Usual number one Emily Wandling didn't play singles due to a foot issue, moving freshman Jessica Wills to the top slot. She fell to Rapids' top-seeded Rachel Summers 6-1, 6-0.
Of the other five matches, the Raiders won a combined four games out of 64.
Wandling took to the doubles court with Wills, battling the James River duo of Andy Hey and Erin Farleigh. Losing the opening game after triple-deuce, the Raider duo won eight of the final 11 games for an 8-4 triumph.
Annie Banton and Gillian Emerson took care of their opponents 8-1, while Madison Payne and freshman Shelby Morton defeated the team of Alabaster and Pope 8-4.
"The girls proved they have it when they need it, and those wins will be very important as we move forward and hit the road," Hanson explained.
The Raiders, who evened their season record Tuesday evening with a 7-2 win at Varina, must play four of their next five matches on the road. Monday they go to unbeaten Cosby, followed by back-to-back trips to Lee-Davis April 10 and Hanover April 11.
In other tennis action, the Atlee boys moved to 2-0 with a 6-0 shutout Tuesday over Varina. The Raiders only lost four games in 12 sets of singles and doubles action to move to 3-0. They'll travel to Henrico on Thursday.
Hanover and Lee-Davis will square off in boys and girls action Thursday at 5 p.m. The Confederate boys come in at 1-3, while hard-luck Hanover is 1-2 after a win Tuesday at Armstrong. The Hawks, led by Danny Polk, one of Virginia's top high school tennis players, lost 5-4 decisions to powers Cosby and Henrico to begin the season.
Patrick Henry has had a difficult start to the season, as the boys fell to 0-3 Tuesday after falling to former Colonial District rival Deep Run 8-1. The Patriots will host Douglas Freeman Thursday. The girls team will travel to Freeman, sporting a record of 1-2 following their own 8-1 loss to Deep Run Tuesday. After a season-opening victory at J.R. Tucker, the Patriots have lost two straight.

I just got a brand new Cougar, Sliver 9mm. When I got it home I took it apart(what i assume everyone does) and was putting it back together. When I got it all back together, it worked fine however, I noticed the metal guide rod sticks out the front of the gun just as much as the barrel. Is this normal, or am I messing something up? The manuel shows the guide rod and spring fully through the center block. On mine, there is a little lip on the side of the center block that the back of the guide rod goes through that won't let the guide rod go through the center block. Again not sure if this is right but when i rack the slide it seems to function normally, the only noticable difference is the guide rod sticking out of the front of the gun. Any and all help is appreciated!!! Thanks

Welcome, I'm not familiar with that weapon but maybe someone will stop by with an answer. Oh, look what I found! Is this your gun?
People get the government they deserve.
Here's what a friend told me; I have found that the best way to re assemble is to hold the slide upside down in your left hand. Place the barrel and the block/spring assembly over it in the correct manner (it only fits one way). Then keeping it all upside down, carefully slide the frame into the rails, again upside down. Invert and flip the locking lever and voila!!! just pull the slide a few times to make sure that it all fits/works and you 're done!!!
I guess I need to rephrase my question... My main concern is that my center block, unlike the one in that video, has a lip on it were the back part of the spring/guide rod(so the part that faces the rear of the gun) is unable to move past a certaint point. My question is am i supposed to only push it to the lip or should i be able to get it past the lip? Again, Thanks for the replies!
that lip is not supposed to be there and yes that gide rode is supposed to go all the way through the block try and shave it down or something maybe just a defect
Before shaving or doing anything, do you have pics you can post? Show the underside of the slide with barrel and guide rod in place. Close ups of the guide rod will really help. camcardschark and chad2, welcome to the FTF, please stop by the "introductions" section and tell us about yourselves.

January 30, 2014 Get to KnowSecond Base ProspectsIf you would like to read previous articles in this series, click here: As has been discussed, second base has been fairly deep in recent years, though it has lacked impact aside from a few key sources. This is largely the state of second-base prospects as well, with a deep group of names to choose from but few plus-plus skills among them. Instead, at the top are players at or close to the major-league level with well-rounded skillsets but no carrying tool. Further down they suffer from a similar condition but with either fewer overall tools or more risk due to distance from center stage. Few of these players boast the type of skills that will upset the balance at the top of the position, but they will aide in continuing the recent tradition of high-floor depth.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Mike Leake and the Reds bullpen quieted the Braves, while Fred Lewis had an RBI double and scored the deciding run in a 5-1 win to open a three-game series at Turner Field.
Leake (4-2), recalled from Triple-A Louisville before the game, yielded just one run on seven hits and three walks over six innings to pick up the win in his first start since May 3.
"It was nice that they sent me down just so I could [clear my head]," Leake said. "I was just trying to go out there and get a quality outing."
Atlanta's starter, Tommy Hanson, didn't make it out of the fifth. After winning four straight decisions, Hanson (5-4) gave up three runs -- two earned -- on four hits and three walks in 4 2/3 innings to take the loss.
Cincinnati won for just the second time in 10 games despite leaving 14 runners on base.
The Braves stranded 11, three coming in the eighth inning when Reds reliever Nick Masset got Alex Gonzalez to ground into a routine fielder's choice to end the threat.
"We're not really in a rhythm right now," said Hanson. "We just have to keep battling and keep playing hard."
Ramon Hernandez tacked on a two-run homer off Craig Kimbrel in the ninth for a 5-1 lead, and Francisco Cordero closed out the victory in the ninth in a non- save situation.
Lewis one-hopped the wall in left-center to plate Scott Rolen from first in the second inning, then scored in the fourth to make it 2-0.
He walked with one out, moved to third when Hanson threw away a potential double-play ball and crossed home without a throw on Paul Janish's squeeze bunt.
Hanson was taken out of the game an inning later with two outs and runners on the corners, and reliever George Sherrill had a comebacker from Jay Bruce glance off his glove for a run-scoring hit.
The Braves threatened in the sixth with runners on the corners and one out, but only got one run across on Dan Uggla's sacrifice fly to the warning track in center. It was Uggla's first RBI since May 15.

As the title says, trying to find out what herbs I have growing. I was given a packet of seeds labeled kitchen herb mix. I recognise the dill, chives and lemon balm, but these I do not know. Thank you |
Follow-Up Postings:
#3 looks like Borage. |
That looks like that one thanks Zackey |
1 . may be Radicchio/chicory - does it have a bitter dandelion like flavour? 2. is Chicory flower 3. is Borage 4. is Stinging Nettle 5. looks like Savory, Satureja hortensis |
Thanks so much florauk. In looking these up I would agree with you on all except the savory, how sure are you on no. 5? would some more pictures be in order? I am only saying because some of the descriptions/ characteristics doesn't seem to fit the plant. Yes no. 1 does have a bitter dandelion flavor. Thanks again. |
3. Borage 4. Stinging Nettle 5. Savory |
Dee-Cee - I only have your picture to go on whereas you can see the actual plant. It looks like Savory to me but I might be wrong. What features don't fit in your view? Did you look up Summer Savory ie Satureja hortensis? Or did you check Winter Savory, Satureja montana? Your plant looks like the former to me. |
@ Dee - Cee Tell us how the number 5 tastes ? Summer and winter savory have almost the same taste. |
Thanks so muchfor everyones help, after cross referencing the names i was able to determine that they are as everyone has named. This is the last time I use a packet of seeds labeled mixed herbs and stick with what I know and use. Also I really don't think the stinging nettle was part of the seed packet as that stuff grows around here like weeds especially since I live next to a overgrown wooded lot that has it in it. Thanks again everyone. |

The chicory (#1 & 2) looks almost like the "Italian Dandelion" variety I planted years ago. It has reseeded year after year...10 years later it is still going strong. There's a lot of variety in it. Some plants have rounded leaves, some look just like dandelions. Nice herb. Look up all the uses at pfaf.org -- Cichorium intybus. FataMorgana |
Thanks Again, Yes they are the italian dandelion. |

Reviews for Lemonade Icebox Pie
Sort By :
"Very good! Everyone loves this pie. I won first place in a pie contest with this one."
"I made the recipe exactly as above with the exception of a layer of fresh blueberries in the middle! It was a hit! Tasted like blueberry lemonade! Plus, the berries added color. I will try raspberry next. Yum!"
"This isn't a review but is a question. Could you use real whipped cream in place of the whipped topping? My family doesn't care for the taste of the "Whipped Topping. I know some people want to reduce the fat etc. but since we don't often treat ourselves to something like this, everyone would be happier with the "real" whipped cream. Thanks for any help you can give."
"Was easy to make, very tasty and got good reviews from the people who ate it. I doubled the recipe thinking I was going to be making 2 pies but there was filling for probably 3 or 4. Also, just "refrigerating" didn't help. It was still runny enough that it wouldn't hold shape. I froze them and they were perfect! Can't wait to make this again!!"
"My Mom used to make these! Wonderfully tart and sweet! Love this pie and will be making it over and over using the lighter options "DixieGirl" recommends (below)."
