MSRP off the Saleen website $47,994.00
Ok in reading this forum I have heard the price for the GT 500 at around $45000-$50000?
So the question is do I wait for the GT 500 to come in...

I own a home in the River Heights area of the city and although I love animals (volunteering at whs on the weekends) I cannot have cats at my home as I have family that are allergic.
I have a strong passion for volleyball; I play in a co-ed adult rec league during the fall and winter, and in the past have volunteered my time coaching high school level as well as college level volleyball. I also started curling last year as a second. I do like watching other sports such as hockey, football, and basketball.
I am hoping to find a woman who is intelligent and happy with a kind heart. I'm very forthcoming about my feelings and appreciate that from women in return. In a nutshell, I am looking for a meaningful relationship; if you're looking for the same, I'd love to hear from you.

Was it just me or did it look like Peavy and Dempster were having a bit of a heated exchange in the dugout in the late innings of the game last night? At first I thought it was nothing....then they brought the camera back in the dugout a secong time a few moments later and they still were barking a bit.
I know Peavy is a firey guy and I COMPLETELY chalk it up to that......just thought it was interesting.
BTW.....Even though he shouldn't have started the 7th.....I'm REALLY liking Jake on this team!! What a blast he is to watch! Kind of like a throw back player. It's good to see some emotion out there coming from a top of the rotation starter.

Bob Ferguson
General Motors elevated its top public-policy executive, Bob Ferguson, to vice president, global Cadillac, as the automaker pumps up efforts to globalize the luxury brand.
The former AT&T executive will lead worldwide marketing, sales and retail strategy for Cadillac and will report directly to CEO Dan Akerson.
With a refreshed lineup of vehicles, GM hopes Cadillac will undercut luxury competitors like BMW, Audi, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz.
"The new products are being reviewed very well and initial sales are quite good," Ferguson said in an interview. "It seemed like the right time to put a focused management team on Cadillac and go hard at building sales and share domestically but also with the overriding idea of making Cadillac a global luxury brand."
Vice President of Communications Selim Bingol will assume Ferguson's public-policy duties, but will still be based in Detroit.
Ferguson's appointment comes as GM has introduced two major global products in 2012: the Cadillac ATS compact sedan and the XTS large sedan. In 2013, the automaker plans to reveal the redesigned Cadillac CTS midsize sedan and the all-new ELR luxury electric vehicle. A new Cadillac Escalade is also on the way as GM aims to double global Cadillac sales.
"They have a great opportunity to gain share and to be taken more seriously as a premium brand," Polk Automotive analyst Thomas Libby said.
Still, Cadillac sales have fallen 8.6% this year as the company reduced less-profitable fleet sales and ended production of the DTS and STS vehicles.
The new Cadillac products have earned positive reviews. But GM needs to develop "marketing campaigns that cut through the noise" to overcome "remaining perception issues" and reach younger buyers and women, Ferguson said.
"We need to expand the demographics so that a broader segment of luxury buyers consider Cadillac," he said.
Bill Spadafora, owner of Indiana, Pa., dealership Spadafora Cadillac and a friend of Ferguson's for the last 15 years, said it'll take time to revolutionize Cadillac's brand image.
"We've been trying to attract the younger buyer it seems like forever. We really have," Spadafora said. "It's very, very hard to penetrate that import market. That's a hard nut to crack, but they seem to be making some headway."
Ferguson spent 10 years as an executive at telecommunications provider AT&T, including a stint as CEO of 10,000-person AT&T unit SBC Enterprise Business Services. The Cadillac role is his first automotive sales and marketing job.
"He's not a stranger by any means to sales, marketing, having a customer focus," said Jim Kahan, who worked with Ferguson as a corporate development executive at AT&T.
Ferguson's promotion comes as GM is hunting for a new global chief marketing officer to replace Joel Ewanick, who was fired in July over his handling of a European soccer sponsorship. GM sales executive Alan Batey is serving as interim CMO. GM spokesman Greg Martin said the new hire would focus more on Chevrolet marketing.
Ferguson and Bingol joined GM in 2010 at the behest of former AT&T CEO and then-GM CEO Ed Whitacre.
In Washington, Ferguson helped GM repair its relationships with many influential figures, boosted GM's flagging political action committee, led the automaker's participation in fuel economy regulation talks with the Obama administration and upped GM's focus on state-by-state regulatory issues.

Rivamoto's Jack Kennedy was third quickest in the final World Supersport free practice this morning, the Dubliner saying that the dry track-time was crucial for him before qualifying later this afternoon, having never rode the Honda around the Donington Park circuit.
"It was a good session for me, running in the top three for nearly all the session. It was so important to try the Honda in the dry, so we can work on setup before qualifying. I was just struggling with some rear grip issues through the last sector though, which we're looking at now. I was the quickest through all the sectors up until the final one, with the stop and go corners such as the Melbourne Loop and Goddards somewhere I must work on," said Kennedy, speaking to bikesportnews.com from the sun drenched Leicestershire circuit.
"I've not used the softest tyre yet and that's the tyre I'll put my fastest lap on so we've some work to do in the qualifying session. Another small issue I'm struggling with, is arm pump due to some new leathers, the same issue which I had at Phillip Island.
"I did the whole session by myself too, posting consistently fast laps, which is always a plus for me. The goal for this afternoon is front row and if I can get a podium on Sunday, well, it'd be a dream come true."

Remembering Padma Vibhushan Mario João Carlos do Rosario de Brito Miranda, ComIH (2 May 1926 – 11 December 2011), popularly known as Mario Miranda or Mario de Miranda, was an Indian cartoonist and painter based in Loutolim in the Indian state of Goa. Miranda had been a regular with The Times of India and other newspapers in Mumbai, including The Economic Times, though he got his popularity with his works published in The Illustrated Weekly of India. He was awarded Padma Vibhushan in 2012. Miranda was born in Daman, then in Portuguese India, to Goan Catholic parents of Goud Saraswat Brahmin origin. His ancestral surname was originally Sardessai, before the family converted to Roman Catholicism in the 1750s. At an early age when his mother saw him drawing his home walls, she brought him a blank book, which he calls his "Diary". He even started getting into trouble at school, for sketching Catholic priests. Mario Miranda's early cartoons presented vignettes of Goan village life, a theme he is best known . ...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday paid tribute to social activists Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan and Nanaji Deshmukh on their birth anniversaries. "Jayaprakash Narayan (also known as JP) was a true nationalist, who devoted his life to service and nation building. Tributes on his birth anniversary," Modi said in a statement. "JP's call for 'Sampoorna Kranti' galvanised the entire nation and played a historic role in preserving India's democratic fabric," he said. In 1999, he was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award, in recognition of his social work. JP was born Oct 11, 1902. He died Oct 8, 1979. Paying tribute to Deshmukh, the Prime Minister said: "Tributes to Nanaji Deshmukh on his birth anniversary. His organisation skills and efforts to serve society are a source of inspiration for us." Deshmukh, born in 1916, was a social activist and worked in the fields of education, health, and rural self-reliance. He was honoured with the Padma Vibhushan in 1999. Deshmukh had wo ...
Late BKS Iyengar had form, agility, and grace, but it wasn't something he was born with. Plagued by typhoid, malaria, and tuberculosis, he was a sickly child, who could barely stand on his own two feet. Yet, he trained himself to stand on his head for 30 minutes. This poise came with demands. It needed tremendous discipline, but it won the master yogi many accolades, including the Indian civilian honor, the Padma Vibhushan. Do you know the word Iyengar is also in the Oxford Dictionary? Read more on TrepUp.

Sikh Genocide 1984: There is NO way anything will ever happen to Jagdish Tytler April 11, 2013 By Desh Kapoor 0 Comments "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" – George Orwell In September 1999, Dr. Manmohan Singh was addressing the Press Club of India as a candidate from South Delhi. Being a Sikh, and that too from Congress, he wanted to make a statement about the Sikh Massacres of 1984. It should not have happened, he said.

The dispensation by attacking the Special Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Rajendra Kumar, has attacked the core of India's internal security intelligence. All for whom, but the LeT! Mr Rajendra Kumar's failing has been his being professional and conscientious. In that he acquired intelligence from 'sources', informed the higher-ups in Delhi, which includes his seniors and in-turn the Ministry of Home Affairs. His main failing however was that, in the process, he was not saving a Chief Minister but Narendra Modi. If he had acted in the same manner to save the life of some privileged 'democratic-monarchs' of the country, he would have been awarded Padma Vibhushan and in the case of highest monarch a ' Bharat Ratna.' After all the same dispensation rewarded Mr Brajesh Mishra with Padma Vibushan for his Boston rescue operation of the 'Yuvraj'. Readers with little research can know the truth. Never before in the history of India, an IB or R&AW official was asked to submit before the CB ...
Padma Vibhushan Hariprasad Chaurasia was born in Allahabad in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. His father was a wrestler. His mother died when he was 6. He had to learn music without his father's knowledge, for his father wanted him to become a wrestler. He did go to the Akhada and train with his father for some time, although he also started learning music and practising at his friend's house. He often credits his wrestling training for giving him the immense stamina and lung power that are the hallmarks of his flute playing, stating that, "I was not any good at wrestling. I went there only to please my father. But maybe because of the strength and stamina I built up then, I'm able to play the bansuri even to this day."

Padma Vibhushan Dr.Akkineni Nageswara Rao's 'devdas' stands not only the best among his films but also one of the best among a few films in 82 years of tollywood history. The movie completed 60 years on 26th of June,2013. Although many heroes acted 'devdas' roles in different languages of India, no hero stands on par with the great performance exhibited by ANR in 'devdas'. Superstar Krishna used to take up many adventurous tasks those days. One such daring step is to remake ANR's 'devdas'. Like ANR's 'devdas', Krishna's 'devdas' also filled with melodious songs. He too tried his best in the role of 'devdas'. Krishna's 'devdas' was released in the year 1974. However, ANR's 'devdas' was re-released as an opposition to Krishna's 'devdas'. Unfortunately, Krishna's 'devdas' proved to be a disaster while ANR's 'devdas' again scored a thumping success at the box office. That's the craze of ANR in the character of 'devdas'. The movie stands eternal in the history of tollywood.
Granting Boons by Human Incarnation Whenever the human incarnation grants boons, it enters into the divine form of Kalabhairava, who is just a mood of God only. All the deities are only the moods of God only. Kalabhairava is a deity who is very very strict in implementing the cycle of deeds (karma chakra) and in evaluating the deservingness of the devotee while granting the boons. Actually there are two programs for the human incarnation here. One is preaching the divine knowledge and the other is performing miracles whenever there is real need. The minister is moving in the public giving a political speech. He has to carefully observe the possibility of sudden attack by the opposition parties also. One cannot do both these activities with full concentration. Therefore, he attends to first program with full concentration. A gun man follows the minister catering to the second program. Then only the minister can do full justice to his political speech and free mingling with public. Similarly, the human inca ...

Pampanga bishop rejects bid to revive death penalty-A A +A
Saturday, February 1, 2014
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- San Fernando Archbishop Paciano Aniceto thumbed down proposals to revive the Death Penalty Law, which allows the use of lethal injection for judicial executions.
"No to the revival of the death penalty," said Aniceto.
Senator Vicente Sotto III on Thursday filed Senate Bill 2080, a measure seeking the revival of the death penalty, citing the indiscriminate and horrendous brutality happening across the country.
The senator noted that life imprisonment, the highest penalty carried out today, is a non-deterrent against criminality.
But for the archbishop, the sanctity of life must be respected.
"The sanctity of life must be respected as this is a gift from God. No man has the right to end the life of his brother. It is a strong commandment that our Good Shepherd has given," said Aniceto, as he stressed that it must be the cycle of violence that must be stopped.
"In my view, it must be the cycle of violence that must be stopped by our leaders and law enforcers. We at the CBCP (Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines) are for restorative justice and not 'life for a life' or death penalty," he added.
CBCP Episcopal Commission on Family and Life executive secretary Fr. Melvin Castro corroborated Aniceto's statements and said that the death penalty has proven to be an ineffective deterrent of crime.
"A life lost due to crime cannot be restored by ending the life of a criminal," he said.
The death penalty was restored in 1993 under the administration of former President Fidel Ramos but it was permanently suspended in 2006 during the leadership of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. (JTD)

Marketing Matters: When and Where Are You Reading This?
An often overlooked issue is the circumstances under which your marketing message is seen, heard, and felt. While careful attention is usually given to gathering the information for each marketing message, this same level of attention is not always applied to when and where the message is viewed, heard, read, and digested.
With any specific marketing tool — brochure, video, Web site, etc. — there are several issues to consider:
Of course, the definitive answers to these questions can never be known. However, applying some logic and evaluating some previous experience can help you to craft each message for maximum impact in the actual reading/viewing environment.
There are some general hypotheses upon which many camp professionals agree:
If you concentrate on what you have to say, you have addressed only the first half of the communications dynamic. If you analyze the target audience in terms of demographics, you have begun to complete the second half of the equation. However, the quality of attention that any marketing message receives is actually more important than the number of people reached. When your message enters the home of a target prospect via your Web site, brochure, or direct-mail piece, it must then gain and hold attention, or it might as well not be there. Think carefully about when, where, and how your message is being seen, heard, and analyzed — and you will most certainly strengthen your marketing approach.

The Business Case
If healthy, quick food seems like an oxymoron, you haven't been to Burgerville, a chain of 40 Pacific Northwest quick-service restaurants. Burgers here are made from pastured vegetarian-fed and antibiotic-free beef. The eggs on our breakfast biscuits are from cage-free hens that have never been treated with antibiotics. Salads offer mixed greens topped with smoked salmon and Oregon hazelnuts. Even desserts and sides rely on seasonal, local ingredients – blackberry milkshakes are only available in season, as are the hand-prepared buttermilk-battered onion rings made from Walla Walla sweet onions grown in Washington and Oregon.
Burgerville purchases wind power credits equal to 100 percent of our electricity use, recycles used canola oil into biodiesel, and offers its hourly employees an accessible healthcare. In recent years, we transformed our business plan, focusing on aligning all parts of our company with our values, finding new ways to serve our employees and guests and sharing our story along the way. The results were double-digit same store sales increases in 2006 and 2007. We are clear that conducting business sustainably is good business.
It Takes Community
Burgerville is an active leader in sustaining all we love about the Northwest. We are in dialogue and conversations about renewable energy, composting, recycling, and other initiatives that contribute to thriving communities and changing the way business does business. If you see a place we can make a difference, please let us know.
People Development
Central to the heart of the company, Burgerville people are at the center of what allows our company to live its values to their fullest extent. Without strong, vibrant, healthy people, there can be no healthy family or healthy community. At Burgerville, we believe in developing people throughout our organization. Leading and thriving in the midst of change calls for alert, reflective and creative people – people who are flexible in the face of change and who bring their spirit and imagination to bear on the problems and issues at hand. By growing their leadership abilities, employees learn how to powerfully manage change and serve with love no matter the circumstances they encounter. Leadership at this level contributes innovation and creates sustainable impact, which grows our business and serves our community.
An example:
Burgerville believes a commitment to each employee's leadership development allows for an employee to fully contribute their creativity and their passion in their daily work. It is this investment in people development that has allowed the company to innovate in ways that create business value and are good for the community. An excellent example of an employee who made an innovative contribution as a result of Burgerville's culture and development is Amaranth Wilson. Ms. Wilson was key in the development of the expanded Burgerville recycling and composting pilot program. Wilson worked as an assistant restaurant manager and was empowered to contribute her personal passion and commitment to the environment to develop a pilot program and train others to make the program a success.
Wind Power
From the beginning, it has been Burgerville's intention to demonstrate the regional value of sustainable business practices so that other local partners, colleagues, peers, employees and guests could see the return in making a similar commitment. Wind technology has come a long way since the early 1970s, and Burgerville has been at the forefront of adopting this in each of their restaurants and corporate headquarters. Burgerville's executive leadership team personally enrolled in a renewable energy program with their local utility provider and later had a company meeting during which representatives from three different utility companies further educated the management team and encouraged implementation within their restaurant teams, families and friends.
Burgerville purchases 100 percent renewable wind power credits equal to the total electricity use in 40 Burgerville locations and its corporate headquarters.
Burgerville purchases its renewable "clean" wind power from large-scale wind farms located throughout the region, and the company only purchases wind power from energy providers that are environmentally sensitive to their locales. The slow-motion, large windmills create a significant amount of energy while also being animal friendly. Many businesses and individuals throughout the community have joined Burgerville in its pledge to alternative sustainable practices by adopting wind power. Wind power represents the opportunity to help preserve natural resources and sustain clean rivers, vital forests, abundant wildlife and clean air, all in the interest of healthy, thriving communities.
Converting Used Cooking Oil to Biodiesel
At Burgerville, we recycle used cooking oil from our 40 restaurants into biodiesel fuel, a cleaner burning blend of diesel fuel.
In 2007, we delivered 53,000 gallons of cooking oil to refineries for recycling. The oil was converted locally into approximately 39,750 gallons of biodiesel for use by diesel-powered commercial trucks and cars.
Affordable Employee Health Care Initiative
In a time when most companies were cutting back on healthcare for employees, Burgerville took a bold step in the other direction. In January 2006, the company introduced new healthcare packages for hourly employees and their families that decreased the employees' premium costs. These packages are unique in that Burgerville contributes more than 90 percent of the cost of both its hourly employees' and their dependents' healthcare plan, following through on its commitment to ensure that the company's employees are healthy and well.
We offer an affordable healthcare package (full medical, dental, vision, and life) for hourly employees as well as our salaried employees. After six months of employment, hourly employees who work an average of 25 hours per week are eligible to enroll in the plan, starting as low as $30 per month for individual coverage . "We are not aware of another restaurant company doing this," stated Jack Graves, chief cultural officer for Burgerville. In fact, according to PayScale, Inc., a leading provider of online compensation information with access to accurate data for both employees and employers, 60 percent of those working in the quick service restaurant (QSR) field do not have any form of medical insurance.
Recycling & Composting Program
Composting and recycling waste is good business and good for our community. We compost food waste in the kitchens of our restaurants that have access to compost hauling. Our food waste compost is turned into nutrient-rich compost sold at local retailers for home and business gardens. In addition, DeSantis Landscapes, collects leaves and debris from our restaurants and home office and creates compost that is used back on our properties to nourish the soil and feed our plants and trees.
Restaurants recycle everything from paper to plastic to glass to tin. Even our menu boards are printed on recyclable paper or plastic materials. We've found materials accepted for recycling differs by municipality. Over 75% of our packaging is taken out of our restaurants. If you take our milkshake and smoothie cups or salad containers to go, please check with your local municipality about the availability of recycling these materials.
We continue to work with local municipalities, our packaging providers, and waste haulers to find the best solutions for diverting waste from landfills.
The Portland's Office of Sustainable Development has found that 75% of waste generation comes from the business sector. It's easy to see that businesses can make a big impact in reducing waste. For more information on improving your workplace recycling and composting program, visit http://www.recycleatwork.com or call Metro Recycling Information Center at (503) 234-3000.
Commercial Composting Pilot Program
In 2007 Burgerville piloted an employee-led Recycling and Composting program across our entire chain. Our goal was that all 40 restaurants be fully recycling and composting in 2008, diverting 85% of all our waste from the landfill. By leading as an early adopter of commercial composting, we learned many things in this pilot program. Five-years later, in summer 2012, we adapted our composting pilot program to best serve our restaurants, our company, our communities, and our guests.
Here are few of the things we learned:
• The packaging industry has been ahead of the infrastructure to support their innovations
• The infrastructure to accept compostable packaging varies from municipality to municipality
• The variety of material used in packaging, and the variations that exist (each needing a different solution for disposal), prevent an effective sorting system
• Cross-contamination of PLA corn-based plastics in the non-PLA plastics recycling stream is causing issues
• Over 75% of our packaging leaves our restaurants, and even with the expansion of residential composting in 2011, Guests do not have a solution for composting packaging materials from home
• The transition to home composting of food waste in the Portland metro area has brought new complexities to our area composting facilities
We will continue to pilot innovations, and to work in partnership with cities, municipalities and packaging companies to create sustainable solutions for diverting waste from landfills.
