Poutine (/puːˈtiːn/; French: [putin], Quebec French:[put͡sɪn] ( )) is a common Canadian dish, originating in Quebec, made with french fries, topped with a light brown gravy-like sauce and cheese curds.[1] This fast food dish can now be found across Canada, and is also found in some places in the northern United States and even the United Kingdom, where it is sometimes required to be described due to its exotic nature.[2][3] It is sold in small "greasy spoon" type diners (commonly known as cantines or casse-croûtes in Quebec) and pubs, as well as by roadside chip wagons (commonly known as cabanes à patates, literally "potato shacks") and hockey arenas.[4] National and international chains like New York Fries,[5] McDonald's,[6] Wendy's,[7] A&W,[8] KFC,[9] Burger King,[10] and Harvey's[11] also sell mass-market poutine in Canada (although not always country-wide[12]).
The dish originated in rural Quebec, Canada, in the late 1950s. Several Québécois communities claim to be the birthplace of poutine, including Drummondville (by Jean-Paul Roy in 1964),[13] Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu,[citation needed] and Victoriaville.[14] One often-cited tale is that of a restaurateur who is said to have exclaimed, "ça va faire une maudite poutine" ("it will make a damn mess") when asked by restaurant regular Eddy Lainesse to put a handful of curds on some french fries, hence the name.[4] The sauce was allegedly added later, to keep the fries warm longer. Over time the dish's popularity spread mainly across the province (and later throughout Canada), often served in small town restaurants, bars, as well as being quite popular in ski resorts.
The Dictionnaire historique du français québécois lists 15 different meanings of poutine in Quebec and Acadian French, most of which are for kinds of food; the word poutine in the meaning "fries with cheese and gravy" is dated to 1982.[15] Other senses of the word have been in use at least since 1810.[16]
While the exact provenance of the word "poutine" is uncertain, some attribute it to the English word pudding.[15] Among its various culinary senses, that of "a dessert made from flour or bread crumbs" most clearly shows this influence; the word pouding, borrowed from the English pudding, is in fact a synonym in this sense. The pejorative meaning "fat person" of poutine (used especially in speaking of a woman) is believed to derive from the English pudding "a person or thing resembling a pudding" or "stout, thick-set person".[17]
In other meanings of poutine, the existence of a relation to the English word pudding is uncertain. One of these additional meanings — the one from which the name of the dish with fries is thought to derive — is "unappetizing mixture of various foods, usually leftovers." This sense may also have given rise to the meaning "complicated business, complex organization; set of operations whose management is difficult or problematic."[citation needed]
The Dictionnaire historique mentions the possibility that the form poutine is simply a gallicization of the word pudding. However, it considers it more likely that it was inherited from regional languages spoken in France, and that some of its meanings resulted from the later influence of the similar-sounding English word pudding. It cites the Provençal forms poutingo "bad stew" and poutité "hodgepodge" or "crushed fruit or foods"; poutringo "mixture of various things" in Languedocien; and poutringue, potringa "bad stew" in Franche-Comté as possibly related to poutine. The meaning "fries with cheese and gravy" of poutine is among those held as probably unrelated to pudding provided the latter view is correct.[16]
According to Merriam-Webster, a popular etymology is that poutine is from a Quebecois slang word meaning "mess." [15]
In the basic recipe for poutine, French fries are covered with fresh cheese curds, and topped with brown gravy. In a Quebec poutine:
Heavy beef or pork-based brown gravies are rarely used. To maintain the texture of the fries, the cheese curd and gravy are added immediately prior to serving the dish. The hot gravy is usually poured over the cold cheese curds, so that the cheese is warmed without completely melting. It is important to control the temperature, timing and the order in which the ingredients are added, so as to obtain the right food textures which is an essential part of the experience of eating poutine.
There are many variations of poutine. Some restaurants offer poutine with such toppings as chicken, bacon, or Montreal-style smoked meat. Some such restaurants even boast dozens of variations of poutine.[20] For instance, more upscale poutine with three-pepper sauce, merguez sausage, foie gras[21] or even caviar and truffle can be found.[22] Some variations eliminate the cheese, but most Québécois would call such a dish a frite sauce ("french fries with sauce") rather than poutine. Shawinigan and some other regions have patate-sauce-choux where shredded raw cabbage replaces cheese. Fast food combination meals in Canada often have the option of getting french fries "poutinized" by adding cheese curds (or shredded cheese in the Prairies and Western Canada) and gravy.
Sweet potato has been used to be a healthy alternative to french fries. The idea of adding dietary fiber and vitamins in this classic dish is widely appraised by the public.[23] Crinkle-cut fries may be used as well.[4]
Outside Canada, poutine is found in northern border regions of the United States such as New England, the Pacific Northwest and the Upper Midwest. These regions offer further variations of the basic dish. Cheeses other than fresh curds are commonly used (most commonly mozzarella cheese), along with beef, brown or turkey gravy.[3] In the country culture especially, a mixed fry can also come with cooked ground beef on top and is referred to as a hamburger mix, though this is less popular than a regular mix.[24]

Chips and Gravy ("chips" being the British term for French fries) is a staple of the cheaper bistro style menus, in such places as Royal Canadian Legion and Workers Clubs.[original research?]
In Newfoundland and Labrador, most non-national chain restaurants serve a traditional dish called chips, dressing and gravy. "Dressing" is a mixture of mainly white bread crumbs and savoury and is often referred to as "stuffing" outside of Atlantic Canada. Chips, dressing and gravy is served much like poutine, except for the dressing substituting for the cheese. While loved by Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, the dish is not very widely known of outside the Canadian province, and within pockets of NL exiles.
In Prince Edward Island, a common dish is "Fries with the Works" which is fries with ground beef and onions, topped with thick beef gravy and fresh green peas.
Disco Fries, also known as "Elvis Fries," served in New Jersey and select New York City diners, are made with brown gravy, mozzarella, and heavier steak fries. Elsewhere in the greater New York City area and Long Island, diners serve "cheese fries," using either American (processed) cheese or mozzarella. Diners in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut serve "gravy-cheese-fries" or even "french fries with cheese and gravy"; these are most commonly steak fries, brown gravy, and American cheese.
"Chili Cheese Fries" are served in Coney Island restaurants around Detroit, Michigan. Shoestring French Fries are covered with the hot dog sauce ("chili" sauce) unique to the Detroit area, then covered with shredded cheddar cheese. (See Coney Island (restaurant))
In Southern California, the fast food chain Tommy's has a thick, brown gravy based meat chili, and the ingredients of their chili cheese fries are comparable to those of Poutine. The chili is thicker, however, and the cheese is American cheese.
Cheese fries are also served in many diners in the American Southwest; in Texas, for example, they usually include at least one variety of grated Cheddar cheese, and are commonly served with ranch dressing and, sometimes, bacon, jalapeños and chives, whereas in New Mexico, the fries are typically served with Green Chile and cheese, creating a dish that combines two Southwest favorites, french fries and chile con queso. The secret menu at In-N-Out Burger includes "animal fries," a dish consisting of cheese, grilled onions, and the chain's "secret sauce" over fries. Around Chicago in Northern Illinois, up though Wisconsin and into Minnesota, cheese fries are often made using a natural cheddar spread such as Merkt's brand, which has an intense flavor and distinctive texture. Chili cheese fries are a common variation.
Boo fries (cheese, french fries and gravy) are found in New Orleans.[27]
In Adelaide, Australia, chips, topped with yiros meat, tomato, barbecue and garlic sauce are served as "AB"
In the United Kingdom (particularly the Isle of Man, the north of England and Scotland), a similar dish is called Chips, Cheese and Gravy.[28] That dish is common in chip shops, and other small, local fast food stores, and consists of thick-cut chips and shredded cheddar cheese (and sometimes a 50/50 mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese), topped with thick gravy. A variant is sometimes made with curry sauce instead of gravy. The dish was developed independently of poutine.[citation needed]
In the Netherlands, a dish named "kapsalon" (hair salon) consists of french fries, shawarma meats or doner kebab, and grilled gouda cheese, topped with salad, garlic sauce and sambal. The dish was invented in Rotterdam by a kebab shop owner who served it to employees of a local hair salon.[citation needed] It gained popularity and is now widely available across the Netherlands.
A cultural marker, poutine has long been Quebec's "embarrassing but adored" junk food. It served as a comfort food for the local community after the Lac-Megantic derailment.[29]
In May 2014, the word "poutine" was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary of the English language.[4]
In 2007 the CBC declared the outcome of an online survey on the greatest Canadian inventions of all time. Poutine arrived at No. 10, beating, among other items, the electron microscope, the BlackBerry, and the paint roller.[30]
Poutine has been a highlight of the London, UK, "Canada Day" celebrations in Trafalgar Square for several years.[31]
However, poutine has since made inroads into proper culinary circles, challenging its junk food status. Thus in 2011, well-known chef Chuck Hughes won on Iron Chef America (episode 2 of season 9) by beating out his heavyweight competitor Bobby Flay with a plate of lobster poutine.[32]
In 2013, Jones Soda Co. originally a Canadian company but now based in the USA created a poutine-flavored limited-edition soft drink, which got international pop culture attention.[28]
Montreal hosts a competitive Semaine de la Poutine (Poutine Week) every year in February.[33] Ottawa-Gatineau, Toronto, and Quebec City similarly hold "La Poutine Week".[34] Calgary holds "Poutine Week" (with no definite article).[35] Chicago, IL has a festival also.[4]
In a Talking to Americans segment on the Canadian mock television news show This Hour Has 22 Minutes during the 2000 American election, comedian Rick Mercer posed as a reporter and asked several people (including then-Texas governor George W. Bush) what they thought of "Prime Minister Jean Poutine" and his endorsement of Bush for president. (The Prime Minister of Canada at the time was Jean Chrétien). None of the interviewees noticed the insertion of "Poutine." A few years later when Bush made his first official visit to Canada as President, he joked during a speech, "I told [Prime Minister] Paul [Martin] that I really have only one regret about this visit to Canada. There's a prominent citizen who endorsed me in the 2000 election, and I wanted a chance to finally thank him for that endorsement. I was hoping to meet Jean Poutine." The remark was met with laughter and applause.[36]
The name of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is coincidentally transliterated as Vladimir Poutine in French.[37]
During the 2011 Canadian federal election voter suppression scandal, misleading phone calls registered to a "Pierre Poutine" of "Separatist Street" in Joliette, Quebec, were made in at least 14 ridings, including Guelph, Ontario. The fraudulent calls directed voters to the wrong polling stations.[38] Through court orders of document releases from Rogers Communications the source of the calls was eventually traced and appeared to correspond to the campaign office of Conservative Party of Canada candidate Marty Burke.[39]

Sorry about the lateness of the reply here.
Well, this is a tricky question. I suppose it hinges on how you define power. If power is simply the number/caliber of guns, then at present I would say it's a tie between the Chaw'Sah'Voh class man'o'war and the Zer'Sees class charlatan. The Chaw'Sah'Voh (seen above) sports 256 wormhole spinners, making her above and beyond the most heavily armed warship presently existing for the Ascendancy in terms of "conventional" firepower. She's had limited use in the scenario thus far, and none as yet where she's gotten into the slug-it-out sort of engagement I designed her for.
Alternatively, the Zer'Sees class commodorehorton.deviantart.com… smaller and sports less wormhole spinners (72 spinners compared to 256) but the Zer'Sees is built around a directed variation of the Flux's tier three superweapon the FSEMCE (commodorehorton.deviantart.com…) which by its nature literally kills everything it's directed at. The Zer'Sees though has not seen any appearances in the storyline thus far though, as at present I'm treating it like some of those 44-45 era Lufwaffe designs that were brilliant but didn't have much in terms of numbers.
Finally, if we're defining strength as simply strength, and not in terms of military power, then it's undeniably the Hands of God class planetary transport (commodorehorton.deviantart.com…) as it drags around planets and is as large as a gas giant. However these guys are unarmed, so military wise they're not really strong beyond the ungodly amount of force required to destroy them.
As I said, it's a tricky question. Normally I would be inclined to agree with you that simply by numbers the Chaw'Sah'Voh has the most guns and is thus the most potent, but the things I put together I put together in a way to try and play with statistics as it were. I dunno. I haven't even fielded the Zer'Sees yet, and created it specifically in response to events in the RP which are presently unfolding. So ultimately it's in my opinion a rather untested question: only time will really tell.

BONUS: This edition contains a Beachcombers discussion guide and an excerpt from Nancy Thayer's Heat Wave.
Abbie Fox hasn't seen her father or two younger sisters in almost two years. But now Lily, the baby of the family, is sending Abbie urgent emails begging her to return home. Their middle sister, Emma, has taken to her bed, devastated after losing her high-powered job and breaking up with her fiancé. Also, Lily is worried that the beautiful, enigmatic woman renting their guesthouse has set her sights on their widowed father. The Fox sisters closed ranks years ago after the haunting, untimely death of their mother, but seeing their dad move on with his life forces each of them to take stock.
Over the course of the summer, the sisters' lives grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents off the New England coast: Abbie breaks her own rules in the name of love, type-A Emma learns a new definition of success, and strong-minded Lily must reconcile her dreams with reality. At summer's end, these unforgettable women will face profound choices—and undergo personal transformations that will surprise even themselves.

Well, I hope this is the correct place to post this...
I have a CX2 and am trying to change out the lower rotor head. I have the lower large drive gear removed and it seems the inner shaft should simply slide out of the outer shaft. It is solid as a rock. There is no c-clip or anything like that on the bearing inside the outer shaft that the inner shaft resides in, but it seems to be "stuck" there.. Maybe I am missing something. Is there some other retainer for the inner shaft other than the lower gear collar? Thanks for any assistance - and if I should be posting this elsewhere, please don't hesitate to point me in the right direction! Thanks! |

Thanks erdnuckel2!
After I posted that, I went back and tried again - this time with the assistance of some long-nose pliers. The inner shaft came out through the top, like it is supposed to, it simply needed some encouragement! Seems maybe the shaft was adhered somehow to the inner race of the lower bearing. Put the pliers above the upper grear housing next to the shaft and on the end of the shaft - with a little squeeze, the shaft popped loose and came out without an argument. Thanks to this forum and the PDF I downloaded from here, it seemed it should just slide out - it did! Now I have to wait till tomorrow (wife is in bed...) to fly it and get it all trimmed again - I put in an extended inner shaft, new aluminum rotor heads, carbon fiber blade grips (after buying them, saw a couple of not-so-rave reviews of them - hope my mileage varies from that), new extreme V1 blades, a graphite tail boom, extreme skid kit, battery mount, and canopy. Pretty sure it will need some trimming. Thanks for your help! Dick |

chi chi __________________________________________________ ______ The batteries are going to be shipping to us this week. If you give me an email mid week I can take a pre-order. Pertaining to the lower grips. I have not seen it personally but some of the original carbon fiber blade grips may have shipped with the older style ball links which are longer. I believe these to have come from another source because I have never had a customer with this issue but I have heard about it. Basically the original blade grips for the CX2 were made out of aluminum, the base was narrow and they used a longer stud to achieve the correct geometry. The carbon fiber ones are wider and if you used the old studs on it the overall geometry would then be way too wide as described. The correct spare parts kits for the carbon fiber blade grips is BCX301-P. This kit comes with the correct size ball links so if someone had the longer ball studs it would be a very easy fix to unscrew the long ones and install the new ones. If someone was to order the older style spare parts kit it would come with the longs ball studs again. The grips we carry are the correct geometry and the spare parts are correct too. These are extremely popluar and I have not had any problems. If someone was not sure if they had the proper studs the could easily measure to check. The width should be no more than 29mm give or take 1mm. If it is over 30mm wide that would be a problem. The longer studs are about 2mm longer per side so I would expect the overall measurement to come out close to 34mm which would be a problem. _________________________ |

There are so many things that come up and a couple too many heli's I'm flying, so, I keep a spreadsheet of mods and other useful info. I have asked guys to sticky stuff in the past and nothing happened. Do you have to be the thread originator to sticky something up on top?
BTW, we can convert 2MM of extra width to be 0.080" per side. Over the short distance between the bottom rotor and the swash, we're probably talking about an almost 30 Degree angle. The thickness of the links is no more than 0.060" and the pins on the bottom rotor head of my heli just barely engage the links. |

New to Thread
I am new to thread and have picked up my CX2 after about 18 months of not flying it. I am an avid RC airplane flyer and now want to get back into some heli flying. I have a stock CX2 with stock RTF tx.
I would like to use my new DX6i with it so that hopefully I can program expo, etc to make it easier to fly. I have never been very good with CX2 yet. I have perused thread quickly about DX6i settings and have been confused by what I've found. Is there a problem with using the DX6i? Is the default heli setting the best to use? Any advice on settings or best way to restart my flying is appreciated. I can fly my iPhone little heli inside the house okay and now want to step up a little. Thanks, Russ |

Russ, it is hit and miss with the Dx6i. Some controllers work and some have serious throttle issues. The only way you will know is to try it.
First off you will need to go into your tx setup menu and tab into the swash mix menu. Set this to 1servo norm. Bind the Rx to your Tx. Then go into your channel menu and make sure your servo direction settings are correct for the swash. And the tail control direction is correct. None of the rest really matters except setting up your throttle curve and your throttle hold switch. Maybe expo if you actually need it. I set mine at -20. I like super quick servo action. Then see if you have throttle control on your heli. Not all controllers will link with the DX6i sadly. |

Super noob lookin for help...Been into RC planes here for about 3months. Just picked up this heli for, well lets just call it a good deal. For some reason though, the throttle is on my right joystick. This becomes a pain b/c that stick automatically goes to center giving the heli half throttle (which from what i read is supposed to be hover speed). Takes two people to start or turn off heli cuz someone always needs to hold that joystick down. ANY HELP APPRECIATED!!! thanks guys.
UPDATE: I was at work when i asked the question. FINALLY was able to find what i was looking for. It came with the LP5DSM Tx. If you have this Tx you have the take the 4 screws off the back and there is a switch in the center that says L or R. Not sure which is which now i forgot, but i just switched it to the opposite setting and tested it and now its mode 2. |

Coax rotors spinning at different speeds.
I am borrowing a Blade CX2 from my friend to learn the basics of heli flight. I was flying it out side, did something stupid and ended up crashing it pretty hard. Nothing broke but when I turn the throttle on low the rotors spin up at different speeds. The heli can still fly and the rotors are producing lift but when I push the right stick left and right the heli doesn't move over very smoothly. When I push my left stick left and right the heli yaws (spins) so I don't think the motors are damaged. The inner shaft is moving up and down a little bit so I think the shaft collar might be loose.
I think I might have either messed up the swash plate in the crash, knocked the shaft collar out of place or messed up the motor. Everything looks fine but it is not flying very smoothly anymore. Any help or tips would be appreciated. |

This would suggest proof-positive that you can't duplicate the same level of feel and feedback as hydraulic assist rack steering, using electric..cuz if they could, I'm quite sure BMW would use it to up their mileage ratings and lower weight. I suspect an electric assist costs less too. I commend BMW for sticking to their guns (in that respect..I still spit upon their notion of not giving a guy an oil dipstick..and the run-flats of course) in putting the emphasis on the car's handling and feel.. without compromise to their loyal customers, most of whom are loyal because of the car's handling and feel. Good them, and good on you for having it on your appreciation list. -
crkyolfrt Posts: 2,345Good to know that if they must use run-flats, that they have massaged the harshness out of the equation. It indicates that they are not willing to settle.
I still suspect that those who see not having to change a flat at the most inopportune time (or female safety concerns) are an absolute miniscule percentage of owners compared to the male counterparts who would instead welcome the world of non run-flat rubber being optional to how they tread their car. Sure, they can accomplish that with exten$ive aftermkt dollar$, but it gets complicated because BMW also designs the suspension to do what it does using run-flats, so it gets REALLY complicated and expen$ive to replace them with conventional puncture-prone tires...the way God intended a tubeless tire to be..haha. But hey...I see a use for them on a forklift in a glass recycling plant..lol -

nyccarguy Stamford, CTPosts: 8,229Good to hear you dig the electric power steering. While I haven't driven an F30, I have driven an F10 535 & 550 that I thought were too soft & isolated. I also had a chance to sample BMW's new N20 Turbo 4 cyl in an X1 (with hydraulic power steering). Despite the fact that it isn't that smooth, I LOVED the power. I've driven an E90 335xi & E60 535xi, so I'm sure the F30 335i is seriously quick, especially coupled with the 8 speed auto.

sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,959Drove one of these puppy's yesterday for Enterprise and what a sweet vehicle it is! Had just over 30k on the clock and was super comfortable with a flawless interior...a lot of car for the money though a bit thirsty. Bet it has a 6 under the hood and takes high test but was a blast to drive. Nice blue over stone, the perfect combo for this rig. Compared to the c Class I drove last year, this seems to be a sportier vehicle actually and not as buttoned down as the MB. I do understand now why Infiniti does so well in South Florida as I see them every where just like BMW's and MB's...every where. Folks sure love their vehicles down here just like California. To be sure, I'd love to have that G37 parked in my garage anytime!

YES! Dark blue with an ivory interior is my favorite color combination. Oddly, I've only had one car with that combo--the 2007 Audi A4. (All Jetta GLIs come with a black interior and the exterior colors on that trim level are very limited--black, silver, white, bright red, and charcoal.) -
sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,959It was a lot of fun to drive actually but hey, when I'm not paying for the gas or tolls, any car is fun to drive! Figured there was a 6 under there as the power was so instantanious it wasn't even funny! A nice driver to be sure!

ateixeira Posts: 72,587How do you pay tolls? Do they give you a toll reader you install temporarily?
Or do you pay and get reimbursed later?
I'd think the former would save a lot of time, given the amount of driving.
G37 is popular up here in the DC area, too. They're all over the place. Q50 is coming soon to replace it, so maybe folks here will pick up some clearance priced leases soon? :shades: -

fintail Posts: 34,733When I rented in FL last year, I added the toll pass (expensive at like $5.50/day, but I figured the bother would be more). No sticker or transponder on my car, agency said it simply used the registration.
One should be able to lease a nice late run G37 for around $300-350 very easily. -
nyccarguy Stamford, CTPosts: 8,229They've had crazy, clearance, fire sale leases on the G37s for a little over a year now. Trunk money, 18 month, & 24 month leases. They know the product is long over due for a remodel & are keeping current customers in Infiniti driver seats with lower payments than their current or expiring 36 - 39 month leases. In the next year + or so, there will be A TON of these G37s on the market with low miles because Infiniti will most likely have generous pull ahead programs.

ateixeira Posts: 72,587Perhaps the problem is competitors have cheaper models to lure customers in.
BMW has a 1 series.
Lexus has the CT200h.
I think Infiniti dropped the G25, so the G37 is entry level for them, while competitors are usually the 2nd model in a hierarchy.
To be honest I see leases in the $300-350 range for just about anything, though it might take a bigger down payment. -
abacomike South FloridaPosts: 4,535I think for FL rental cars, the tolls are based on the plate, and the rental car company deals with them.
Yes, there are two ways you can pay tolls here on the toll roads here in Florida:
*A transponder (there are several kinds)
*License Plate (or tag as we call them)
There is a flat fee charge, per month, if you go through a toll booth area and don't have a transponder. The camera takes a picture of the rear plate, checks the owner, then bills the owner once each month. They charge $2.50 a month, I believe, for the cost of handling and postage.
I was a Sales Manager at a large Infiniti Store here in Florida about 6 years ago. The hottest selling cars were the G35/37 coupes, sedans, and the new convertible. They are high horsepower engines, but their fuel economy is horrendous, considering what is out there in 6 cylinder engines with 300+ horsepower. Most of those 6 cylinder engines are getting 22/33 (city/highway) mpg.
As I remember, they did not lease as well as the M35/37's. The M held it's value and therefore had higher residuals. The G sedans did not have good residuals, but the coupes did.2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 Sport Sedan
abacomike South FloridaPosts: 4,535Hey Mike! Welcome here. I'm glad to see you didn't quit edmunds for good. You are an awesome guy with some fantastic stories (as well as a chronic car buyer).
No, I did not quit Edmunds, just SFTSFL forum - had to get away from one of the posters there who has, on several occasions, attacked my verosity. Very uncouth individual.
Yes, I am certainly a chronic car buyer - at least one new car a year, and often 2 a year.
But thanks nyccarguy for the kind words. Yes, I monitor 3 other forums now that I do not monitor Sales Stories.2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 Sport Sedan
abacomike South FloridaPosts: 4,535You are an awesome guy with some fantastic stories (as well as a chronic car buyer)...
Speaking of "chronic car buyer", I just found out that the new 2014 Mercedes E350 Sport Sedan I ordered in February is scheduled to arrive at the port on April 19th, next Friday. That should put it at the dealership by April 26th. But I am seriously considering waiting until May 3rd with hopes of some special incentives for loyalty.
Getting antsy about its arrival - can't wait to see it.2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 Sport Sedan
sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,959You are correct...we just go through the sunpass lanes and the rental company's pay the tolls. The job is absolutely awesome and I enjoy it more every day! Hoping to get into a C Class very soon!

sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,959I pass by your place every night as I take Lyons Rd. from Atlantic up to Wiles and west on Wiles over past 441. We live two lights west of Wiles and across from the Super Target there on the corner. We have a meeting place down by the Fort Lauderdale airport where the chase vehicle picks us all up. That G37 I had to drive last week was an awesome vehicle but you are right, the mileage was pretty lame but it had gobs of power when I pressed the accelerator...just pulled so strongly! Figured you worked at the Infiniti dealer on Sample Rd. there. See you are going to get the new E Class, sounds really nice! Am keeping my Civic for another few years but almost traded for a Nissan Rogue on Monday at Autonation Ford in Margate but the price was a bit too high and the color wasn't exactly great, it was that awful red Nissan has. I do like the Rogue and the Hyundai Tuscon and will probably purchase one of those in 2016 as I plan to keep my '06 Civic for 10 years as it is driving so flawlessly...but I do maintain it very well. And like you, we purchase our rides for cash unless there is o% financing or a very low rate...we hate any kind of payments truth be told...and we own no one right now, a great feeling!

nyccarguy Stamford, CTPosts: 8,229So you do realize now Mike that you have to properly introduce yourself to the forum members who don't know you.
"Hi, my name is Mike, & I'm a chronic car buyer."
Then you will get immediate CCBA "cred" by telling everyone about the years of E350s of recent vintage you've owned (with the GS 350 sprinkled in).
Also, every time someone on the CCBA board buys a car, we "punch their card." We've got detailed notes on how many cards were "punched" last year, a pool on how many cards will be "punched" this year, and of course detailed notes on 2013 "punches."
So like I said before, welcome here! This is a very laid back & awesome group. There is some overlap from "Frontlines," but only the cool kids;)2001 Prelude Type SH, 2011 Pilot EX-L 4WD, 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium
sandman_6472 Coral Springs, FLPosts: 2,959Yes, this group of folks is more laid back than others on Edmunds and we love to hear stories of what folks are buying. No crazy folks here either and a pretty close knit group...think you'll fit in nicely!

abacomike South FloridaPosts: 4,535So you do realize now Mike that you have to properly introduce yourself to the forum members who don't know you.
OK, here goes nothing.
"Hi, I'm Mike, and i am certainly a chronic car buyer!"
I am a retired school principal and private school headmaster. When I moved to Florida to care for my aging Dad, I went to work as a car salesman and sold over 1000 Lexus vehicles. I then became a sales manager at an Infiniti dealership and finally retired in 2008.
I do not lease cars, I buy them. I've purchased, on average, 2 new cars a year since 1965. I've owned Corvettes, BMW's, Fords, Mercury's, Lincoln's, Oldsmobiles, Buick's, Cadillac's, Pontiac's, and 2 GTO's, a Triumph TR6, a Lancia Beta, a 300ZX, a Charger R/T, an MGBGT, and have bought several Lexus's. In the past several years. I bought a 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2-2008 BMW's, and a 2008, 2009, 2010, 2-2011, a 2012 and a 2013 E Class Mercedes with a 2013 Lexus GS350 in between.
So I guess you could consider me a chronic car buyer. It doesn't take much to get me to sign on the bottom line for a new car. As mentioned in my previous post, I have a new 2014 E Class Mercedes Sport Sedan on its way from Germany. As we speak.
There you have it - and hi to everyone!2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 Sport Sedan

Yes, that is correct. Before you buy a new car, let me know as I have an "in" in many, many dealership organizations down here. I can save you a great deal on a new car - especially AutoNation.
Just let me know and we'll meet somewhere close.2015 Mercedes-Benz E400 Sport Sedan

Written By: Mike Smith - Date published: 11:31 am, July 24th, 2014 - 21 comments
Categories: uncategorized -
David Cunliffe has announced Labour's ICT Connectivity policy. The digital revolution presents huge economic opportunities for New Zealand, but too many New Zealanders are being left behind. One in five Kiwis doesn't have regular access to the internet. That's not good enough for the 21st Century.
The next Labour Government will put internet connectivity at the heart of its agenda. We will:
"Labour has already announced it will close the digital divide in schools and will put ICT at the heart of our Economic Upgrade, which shows our commitment to a digital New Zealand.
"Only Labour can deliver the digital future New Zealand needs," David Cunliffe said.
The full policy statement is here.
"Protect Kiwis' rights online by introducing a Digital Bill of Rights, upgrading our copyright laws and empowering digital citizenship."
How does that work when he needs to partner with someone who is being charged with (in short) breaking copyright laws?
There is even a Kiwi company in the evidence against Kim Dotcom that shows how badly they were impacted.
The two just do not fit together.
How does that work when he needs to partner with someone who is being charged with (in short) breaking copyright laws?
'Upgrading' is not necessarily the same thing as 'doing whatever the US/US media companies say' ie protecting them more.
I would hope its more in the line of 'allowing common uses where the law is currently an ass'.
Something like the long desired ISP levy (% of ISP plan charges going to copyright holder groups to split between themselves as royalties) -> removal of the 3 strikes law?
Perhaps you can explain how Labour will need Dotcom's vote to pass the bill.
what is the chances any of this policy will be on the news after Cunliffe picks a fight with Hosking and TVNZ?
The next Labour Government will put internet connectivity at the heart of its agenda.
When will that be?
Thank you Mike for setting this out.
It is now time to talk Policy and forget about apologies, Hoskings, Hauiti's or any other number of silly matters that are proving to be a huge distraction.
I'm sure everyone who is hungry and cold tonight, or those in pain and suffering, will be delighted with this policy. It is very worthy and all that, and certainly not a waste of money, but I reckon Labour has more important matters to address. Not as fatuous as exempting caravans from licencing fees, but really?
Actually, the digital divide is particularly damaging to those who have the least money. It's necessary these days to have internet connections for education and work.
Children in families with no computers or internet connections at home, can be disadvantaged at school, and in developing competencies that are valuable for getting a good job.
People who are housebound or unemployed, also benefit from digital connections to the outside world.
For a poor household, lessening the digital divide is one less pressure they have to deal with.
The economic chasm will not be reduced by closing the digital divide as it's a symptom not a cause of poverty.
Digital access is way down the list of what a child needs, below books, decent food, outdoor activity.
Labour's focus this election should be on the cost of food and housing.
These days digital technologies and internet access are as important to young person's education as books.
The digital divide is a symptom and a contributing factor to income inequality. We are not living in the 19th or early 20th century.
A Sunday Star Times piece from earlier this month is worth a read: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/10233243/Classrooms-flooded-with-devices
There's too much focus on providing a platform, too little on what is happening on the platform.
And this from a deputy principal:
"It's controlling their moods – almost like a dopamine buzz. Sometimes when it's taken off children, particularly boys, they're actually really angry about it. Some children will roam around the room looking for any way to get back on the device."
There's big money to be made and in my view the players are co-opting the language of empowerment, progress, and achievement.
Odd. Had a comment go into moderation, and then it disappeared. EDIT: The other comment has re-appeared, sorry for the double comment.
Big money is involved in digital learning applications, and the players have co-opted the language of progress, achievement, and empowerment.
This Sunday Star Times piece is worth a read: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/10233243/Classrooms-flooded-with-devices
There is an obsession with platform, rather than what the kids are doing on the platform.
Recent research shows we take in information more readily in print form than in digital form, which doesn't mean screen-based learning isn't valuable, but attention is needed to how to overcome that inherent deficit.
And this, from an unnamed deputy principal, which is hardly ever acknowledged:
"It's controlling their moods – almost like a dopamine buzz. Sometimes when it's taken off children, particularly boys, they're actually really angry about it. Some children will roam around the room looking for any way to get back on the device."
Yes there are always downsides to new technologies.
The problem in recent years is that big business has been gradually taking over what often have been ideas and capabilities developed for people, at low cost at the flax roots.
That is why government needs to step in and make low cost provisions for all, especially children and young people. That way, the intitiative can start being taken back from big business.
The option of ignoring the realities of new technologies will not help the least well off. That will relegate the young people into a no-technology ghetto.
Have a look at what young people are doing using free computer and web access in the libraries. Young people from low income families don't want to be excluded from the mainstream.
Why do I get the feeling that this is rather underwhelming.
Labour should be pushing for at least majority public ownership of telecommunications infrastructure and using it as a start point of a broadband rollout across the board.
Labour did it in the 1930's when rolling out electricity networks, it should be able to do it again.
Give us a job enought to pay the rent,give us a job that can afford a wage that lets us enjoy our progressive humanity.
Doubt Claire,and her care of technolodgy would have that fairness in her mind.Just i have as should we all.Far cry from Claires,ignorance of Labour,and the right of Labours understanding.
If it keeps the divisive and dim Curran busy who cares.
We have not made enough progress as the UFB and rural itiatives are big telco taxpayer funded slush funds under Joyces CFH.
Revert back to DC's stategy he had in 08 but allow wimax into the cities to shake up the cosy chorus wired monopoly, not reading it as its not an election defining issue but as I said keeps idle hands more occupied.
Good to see but I doubt they will win this election. Maybe next time if they can actively build alliances with other parties and find a way to combat the nonsense spread by the MSM.
Good policy all around ….and much better connectivity should be a winner in rural areas!
….This Labour policy should be played up!….NACTIONAL has let the RURAL BUSINESS SECTOR down very very badly with very slow and dodgey access ….unless you can afford wireless…and even this is still slower than fiber in the cities, i am told

Will This Price Target Increase Help Under Armour (UA) Stock Today?
Story updated at 9:50 a.m. to reflect market activity.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- UBS (UBS) raised its price target for Under Armour (UA - Get Report) to $60 Tuesday.
Under Armour gained 0.3% to $53.15 in morning trading.
The firm reiterated its "buy" rating for the stock. The raised numbers were driven by first quarter sales momentum, specifically in women's and kid's apparel.
Must read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ------------ Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates UNDER ARMOUR INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate UNDER ARMOUR INC (UA) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company is trading at a premium valuation based on our review of its current price compared to such things as earnings and book value." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 15.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 35.0%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- UA's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.15 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.31, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- UNDER ARMOUR INC has improved earnings per share by 25.5% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, UNDER ARMOUR INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.75 versus $0.61 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.93 versus $0.75).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 28.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $50.13 million to $64.17 million.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $232.41 million or 12.94% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, UNDER ARMOUR INC has also modestly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 9.92%.

Arizona Cardinals
Bidwill: Whisenhunt to remain coach for rest of 2012 season
Despite Sunday's franchise-worst 58-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and a nine-game losing streak with no apparent end in sight, the Arizona Cardinals will not rush to any decision on head coach Ken Whisenhunt.
Speaking to a small handful of reporters Monday afternoon, team president Michael Bidwill addressed Whisenhunt's status and at least for the next three games, it looks as though he will remain the team's head coach.
Cards president Michael Bidwill says Ken Whisenhunt will be coach for rest of season.
— Craig Morgan (@cmorgancbsfoxaz) December 10, 2012
Whisenhunt, who led the team to its only Super Bowl appearance in 2008, has a record of 44-49 in his six seasons in Arizona.
Despite his early success with the organization, the team has failed to make the playoffs each of the last three seasons, and in that span has had losing streaks of six, seven and nine games.
Here's more from Bidwill on how the front office plans to evaluate Whisenhunt and his staff moving forward:
Tm Pres Michael Bidwill: "There is a lot of emotion around what happened ystrday but I don't intend to make any decision based on emotion."
— Darren Urban (@Cardschatter) December 10, 2012
More Michael Bidwill: "I want the ability to look at a complete set of facts and evaluate what went wrong."
— Darren Urban (@Cardschatter) December 10, 2012
More Michael Bidwill: "We are living and dying with each of these losses and it's extremely hard to watch."

Greenwich reality TV series to air in September
Greenwich will be getting its own reality TV series in September.
The Greenwich Show will document the history, lives and businesses of the borough through the eyes of its residents.
TV presenter and Greenwich B&B owner Robert Gray will be the face and voice of The Greenwich Show.
He said: "To think that this started two years ago from my kitchen table when I began to make short films about Greenwich, and now we're broadcasting to a national and international audience - it's incredible.
"We can't wait to work with aspiring local talent to make this programme a huge success in what is London's best borough."
The first episode will look at the Tall Ship's Festival, which will run September 5-9, and a car club who meet monthly at Greenwich Market.
Ian Ramsdale, Editorial Director of The Greenwich Show said: "We really want - and need - this exciting project to involve the people of Greenwich. It's going to be very much a community-made, community-led piece of television, and we're inviting our Royal borough's filmmakers, presenters and producers, aspiring or experienced, to see their work broadcast.
The first episode will air on Sky 212 and Freesat 401 on September 1 at 9.30pm and will appear at the same time on every first Monday of the month.

: The South Asian Fishermen Fraternity (SAFF) urged the Government to bring back two Italian marines who killed two Indian fishermen in Kerala in 2012.
Fr. Churchil, secretary, who handed over a memorandum to Collector S. Nagarajan, along with the family members of the deceased on Thursday, told The Hindu that the response of Italy was "an insult to Indians and Judiciary of India."
Hence the accused should be brought back to India and they must undergo legal proceedings.
"If the Centre failed to take necessary action against Italian marines, the lives of thousands of deep sea Indian fishermen lives would be at a risk," said Fr. Churchil.
