Today on our 2013 Ford Edge, we'll be installing car hitch part number C13067. This is what our hitch will look like once it's installed. Next we'll go ahead and give you a couple of measurements to assist your selecting accessories for your new hitch so it's a ball mount, a bike rack or a cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pinhole to the outermost edge of the bumper is four-and-a-half inches. From the top of the inside of the receiver tube opening to the ground is 12 3/4 inches. Now let's go ahead with installation.
First before we can install the hitch, we'll need to lower the exhaust to gain access to the frame rail. Before lowering the exhaust, we're going to put a safety strap underneath so that we can safely lower the exhaust without damaging it. Next, we'll take some spray lubricant and spray the three rubber exhaust hangers. There is one on each side of the muffler and just one forward of the muffler behind the rear axle and then use our pry bar to remove the rubber isolator from the metal hanger. Now we'll go ahead and use safety strap to safely lower the exhaust.
Next we'll need to remove the heat shield. Here on the driver's side we'll remove the two frame rail fasteners. We'll remove the plastic tab or wire holder just behind the rear bumper that goes to the heat shield and then the center fastener. We'll tilt it down and then pull it out. As you'll notice there is a tab that goes up into the frame.
Now I'll go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger's side with the exception of the wire hold-down as it doesn't have one. Next, we'll go ahead and cut off the tab that goes up into the frame for each heat shield as this will be an attachment point for our new hitch. Now we go out and point out the attachment points. We have the forward attachment point that the tab was previously in, then our center attachment point and we'll be drilling out the rear attachment point. Now we'll go ahead and put the hardware in the frame for our forward and center attachment points.
We'll be using the half-inch carat bolt, half-inch block and half-inch plunge nut using the half-inch pull wire to pull our bolt and block into position. Note that the forward and center attachment point bolts will be shorter than the rear attachment points. We'll go ahead and take our bolt leader beat it through the attachment point not the end of the frame. Then we'll slide on the block and thread on the carriage bolt. We'll fit the block and then the bolt into the frame and pull them into position. Now we'll go ahead and repeat the same process with the center attachment point here on the driver's side and the forward and center attachment points on the passenger's side leaving our bolt leaders in position as this will assist us to fit the bolt leaders through the hitch and up into position without pushing our hardware back up into the frame. Now it's a good idea to go ahead and reinstall the heat shield. As you reinstall you'll need to test-fit to make sure that they're clear the bolts coming through the frame. As you can see here it's making contact with our center attachment point so I'll go ahead and take out a paint marker, mark out the areas that will need to be trimmed and then use a pair of tin snips to trim it out. Note the frame rail attachment bolts will not get reinstalled as the heat shield will get sandwiched between the heat and the frame. Now with that done, we'll go ahead and repeat the same process on the driver's side. Now it's a good idea to go ahead and get an extra set of hands to help you hold the hitch as you install the fasteners. Remove the hitch up over the exhaust and fit the pullwires into it. Put the hitch up into position and remove the pullwire and install the plunge nut. We'll not take our drill bit and mark the center of the hole with the rear attachment point by taking our half-inch drill bit, we can mark the center of each attachment and then use this smaller pilot bit to make the initial hole stepping up to a larger bit until we get to our final size. Now with both holes drilled out, we'll go ahead and repeat the same process of using our pullwire to pull our hardware into position. We'll install the block, the longer carriage bolt and then beat them into the frame and pull them into position. Once into position we'll remove the pullwire and install the plunge nut. Now with both fasteners installed, we'll go ahead and tighten them down. Next, we'll go ahead and tune all six attachment points to specifications as indicated in the instructions. Now with the hitch secured towards specifications, we'll go ahead and reinstall the exhaust. That completes the install of our car hitch part number C13067 on our 2013 Ford Edge. .

My Curt Hitch for my Lincoln MKX arrived a day early and I installed it the next day. It was rated 7 out of 10 for difficulty, but I had no problem installing it all by myself. Working with my MXK on a set of ramps, and on my back laying on 15 year old creeper I was able to get the job done in a couple of hours. The on line help video was exceptional and I knew exactly what I had to do after watching it. I used a jack and a 2 by 4 to support the exaust instead of a strap like they showed in the video and it worked fine. I'll be 60 on my next birthday, and I must admit I'm a little more mechanically inclined than most, but I don't turn many wrenches these days. If after watching the etrailer video you think you can do it, then, by all means, dont be afraid to try it! It's a piece of cake! 120801
I like the product very much and dealing with etrailer was one of my better on-line purchases. Also, I gave you a good referral to my son-in-law TJeremy Loomis who purchased a hitch from you in 2014 for his Toyota Highlander. Good companies like yours are good for e-commerce! Keep up the good work!Michael - 03/23/2015

2011 Ford Edge Sport - Everything went together very easily. The wire feed for the bolts worked awesome! I did not need to jack up my car at all, but I am used to working on cars with similar clearance to my SUV's ride height. I did find that it was easiest to install the hitch with the hitch secured to my floor jack. This allowed me to raise and lower the hitch as needed while I trimmed my rear bumper. The reviews I read had a few comments about no trim required. This was not the case with my 2011. However, I really wasn't too concerned about trimming the small section of bumper that I had to trim. If you use the floor jack trick make sure it is secure! You don't want to drop it on your face or body when you are not expecting it. Only negative. While installing and moving around the paint chipped off the front of the receiver on the hitch. The paint chipped very easily. We got rain the weekend I installed it and I noticed surface rust where the paint had chipped. After 2 days of sitting outside. So I did have to wire wheel the surface rust away, clean it and repaint it. It didn't take a huge effort, but I would suggest double checking your hitch after the install and taking care of any exposed metal. We will see how it holds up this winter in Minnesota. 228306

The C13067 Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Installation went smoothly on my 2013 Lincoln MKX. The Time estimated for the installation video seemed a little short for me. It took me like three (3) hours to finish, was challenging but it got done. But also I did it alone (in the video there are two guys).. the online help video was great and I knew exactly what I had to do after watching it. Torqueing the rear bolts to spec felt like I was crushing thin metal together but they eventually torqued perfect fit. The fish wires to pull the bolts through the frame are genius and made an impossible task simple…. after you get use to them so be patient. The hitch is pretty invisible and what you can see looks like it was a Lincoln MKX OEM install and I have to say that also it look nice, very good finish!! The hitch arrived quickly and is very well built. Definitely a quality product. Best price for a quality setup without a doubt. I email then about my UPS tracking Number and they answered in hours. Definitely I will buy from them again many thanks eTrailer.com !!! 178755

Installation went very well on my Lincoln MKX, good fit and great instructional video. It was a great idea on your part to tape the hardware and wiring kit to the hitch. The box arrived with one end torn open, but no problem since everything was securely taped together. Delivery was 1 - 2 days sooner than I expected. 130752
Hitch has been in service for a year with zero problems. Powder coat finish still look like new.Steve C - 05/16/2015
by: Gary C.10/17/2012
Great Price! Shipping was super fast. I ordered on Tuesday at 2pm and the hitch was sitting in my garage on Thursday by noon. Installation was easy thanks to the how to video on your site. I was a little apprehensive about having to lower my exhaust and drill two holes but it was smooth and easy. The fish wires to pull the bolts through the frame are genius and made an impossible task simple. The Curt hitch looks great on my 2010 Ford Edge. I towed my boat with it the next day and it was smooth sailing. 57483

I'm sending you some pictures of the hitch installation on my 2011 Ford Edge 34740
by: Chris F.05/19/2015
Received hitch in good condition. Heavy and looks well made. Instructions along with video made install procedure straight forward for my 2011 Edge. No problems lowering exhaust (used a floor jack) or removing/modifying heat shields. Took some time to fish bolts and brackets through frame rail. Not very much room at all between bumper mounting brackets and openings of frame rails. At times had to go more by fell than sight. I had help to bolt hitch to car. I highly recommend having help on this step! Drilling holes in frame actually went easier than expected. Fished the bolts through to new holes. Tightened all bolts specification. Took me around 2 1/2 hours to install. Very pleased with the way the hitch looks...very clean looking install. 194377

Hello. This is my first review I ever made , but felt like I just had to. I needed a trailer hitch for our 2011 Ford Edge SEL. I searched like crazy on Internet afraid to death I would by one that someone claimed it fit theirs. But search no more, I really mean it. It fits perfect and easy to install and looks awesome. It came super fast in the mail. Lady on phone was also awesome. I always read reviews and hope people are honest. This was my chance. I have no affiliation with etrailer other that I found them on Internet. Don't waste anymore time wondering if this is a good price, quality or asking yourself if it will fit your Ford Edge. Thank you etrailer. Andy 233105
by: Dan F.07/19/2012
This is the first Curt hitch I've installed; my experience is with other brands thus far. I was very impressed by the quality of most of the welds, the coating on the hitch, and the hardware kit. Additionally, fishing bolts through a frame is typically time consuming and frustrating - but the fish wire that came with this kit was simply awesome. The Ford Edge doesn't have a lot of space for a hitch, and thankfully the fit of the Curt hitch was excellent and provided around 3/8" - 1/2" clearance to the exhaust system. etrailer.com had the hitch on my doorstep 2 days after I ordered! Very impressed overall with the transaction and the product. 48514

I was concerned about how this was going to fit on my 2013 Edge Sport, but it went in really well with a very minor trim on the lower plastic. I don't imagine it will ever be removed, so I went ahead and trimmed the plastic for it pushed it up a good 2 inches and I didn't want to risk deforming it elsewhere. It is a really a great hitch, installed easily, probably overkill for this vehicle, definitely a solid unit. 105167
by: Curt Hitch and Strap07/09/2015
Fairly easy to install. Took about 45 minutes with 2 of us and the car on lifts. Only cutting involved is with a tin snips and that was on the heat shields. Getting the bolts into place was a little tricky as the Ford Edge has a small opening to squeeze the bolt thru. This would have been a lot more of a problem if the car was only on a jack stand. Did buy the Curt support strap recommended. It is a joke. It is not long enough for any real support on my Yakama bike rack. I will hook it up but I can see it won't do a lot of good. 210404
by: Bob05/03/2011
I'm really happy with this hitch. I have a 2011 Edge Sport and was initially concerned about how this would work out. I did not have to trim the fascia to install the hitch, as I just deflected the fascia upwards. With design of the center section having a non-shiny black texture with fins, it looks okay to have the gentle upwards curve in the middle. The rest of painted fascia is not deflected. Best part is I can take off the hitch when I turn in my lease and have no damage to the facia 12803
by: Nick08/19/2014
Great hitch it fits my 2010 Ford Edge perfectly, I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet, but it's already installed and ready to go, the installation was easy with good instructions. One thing for you etrailer, you might want to package your products a little bit better because one side of the hitch came bent, I had to use a rubber hammer to get it to the right position and then I was able to install it. I know you are shipping steel products but they are not unbendable. 147415
by: Travis H.09/18/2013
Everything went good with the install, but shows in video that you use one of the off centered holes and it was the two holes that were inline with each other so I had to fish the rear bolts back out and refish back in the rear center hole. That was on a 2010 Ford Edge SEL. 100453
by: Greg Capoferri03/10/2014
Very fast delivery, ordered on a Tuesday morning and received the hitch on Thursday morning. Great product! Had no issues during installation, took about 35 minutes to install. 2008 Ford Edge. 120032
by: Edward N.04/15/2015
Ordered this product and installed in my garage with basic tools, by myself. The instructional videos online are spot on, to the point, and very easy to follow. Shipping and packing came as promised with no issues. I will for sure use this company and its products again. Thank you George 185319
by: Tracy L Suttles06/09/2016
The install video for this hitch indicates that routing the carriage bolts through the end of the frame rail is easy. On my installation this was not the case at all, and was virtually impossible without removing the rear bumper cover and bumper itself. Once the taillights, bumper cover and bumper itself were removed the installation of the mounting bolts was very easy. I defiantly recommend having a second set of hands for installing the hitch to the bolts, and the use of a floor jack is also recommended. Once installed the hitch looks great and is very solid. Only 4 stars because this did not go as the video shows. 259575

Everything went great, thanks for the prompt service. 250814
by: Casper05/15/2015
This product is "stout", heavy and well made. I opted to install it in my garage by myself using ramps and closely following the instructions. They are 'spot-on'! I call this my Ben-gay project because I'm sure I'll need some rubbing after this install. I have done this before, but that was many years ago. I am now 70 and was convienced by another reviewer, who was 60, that it could be done albeit at a slow pace. It took me 4 hours and lots of muscle to get finished. It can be done alone but a helping hand is advised. 110 ft pounds of torque is quite a challenge also because of the position you are in without a lift. Ingeneous fish wires for the plates and screws took a little trial and error, but was a snap after the first one. It looks good and seems as solid as a rock. I will put this to the test as soon as I recoup and install the wiring kit I also ordered-which I will review. Great product! 193372
by: Mike V04/24/2015
Very happy thus far with etrailer.com and their delivery of the purchased products. Cost and quality are very good. Haven't installed it yet , but if it goes as easily as shown in the installation videos, I will be VERY satisfied. 187868
Thanks for reaching out and checking back with me. I love it. If I need to buy another one in the future I will be buying it through you all.Mike V - 04/26/2016

I received my tow hitch within the specified shipping dates but, when it arrived and installed it, I noticed there was slight damage on the hitch. The hitch was slightly bent inward causing a misfit on the mounting holes on my ford edge frame. I believe it was caused by bad handling of the box during shipping as the hitch was sticking out of the box when it arrived at my house. I was able to bend the tow hitch open enough to line up the holes and successfully install it. As for recommendations; there should be some additional padding on the inside of the box and a mock-up fit check should be performed prior to shipping if one is not currently performed. Other than that, the hitch installation instructions were clear and all the hardware was in good shape. I now have a hitch to tow my bikes so i'm satisfied. 214095
by: James F.08/20/2014
The installation of this receiver was straight foreword, as shown in directions and video. It only took me about ten minutes longer than video said it would take due to using a jack and stands, since I do not have a vehicle lift in my garage. My only complaint is how large the receiver opening is. This makes for a loud tow of my tilt bed trailer when it is empty, as the trailer is very center balanced. After complaining to a few friends of the noise, they all said that Curt receivers have larger openings than other receivers to make it easier for draw bar installation and removal. However, I chose the free shipping and was upgraded to the 3-5 day ground for free and had all of my components after 3 days. 147681
by: Brian D.02/20/2015
The hitch arrived quickly and is very well built. Definitely a quality product. Install was more difficult than anticipated though. The instructions are fairly well written but the key part that was left out was how little room there is to fish the wire and bolts into the frame rail. The bumper support covers 80% of the opening of the frame rail and unless you want to take the bumper off you'd better have some patients or some beers. The 2 holes that you drill and put the bolts in are the most difficult due to the hitch taking up what little room there was to begin with. But once past that everything went smooth and looks awesome. Best price for a quality setup without a doubt. 175509

Good video on installation. Made it very easy. Super service from etrailer. 166918
by: Sean02/10/2014
Very good hitch. Fairly easy to install if you watch the videos on the website, but I would say it would be pretty hard to install without a second person. Once you figure out where everything goes and how it goes, it isn't too bad. Dealer quoted me $745 for parts and install on both hitch and lights so a few hours was well worth saving $500. Would definitely order from etrailer.com again. Package arrived quickly with follow-up email to check on thing from them and the videos made the install much easier. 116167
by: Greg M. FL04/14/2014
Fast Service, reasonable price and perfect fit. Only hassle, was drilling 2 1/2" holes in the frame. This is not easy with the average home drill. I had to step up one bit size at a time. Took about six bits to get up to 1/2". Other wise the installation was easy and straight forward. etrailer.com has great products at reasonable prices that are delivered promptly (2 to 3 days). The diy videos and support are great. Don't waist your time trying to save a few dollars, like I did, by going to Autozone. 124850
by: jr07/29/2015
Horrible. I purchased a Curt trailer hitch and it came with no damage to the box. I brought it to my local Ford dealer to have it installed and they told me both ends of the hitch were bent and they had to bend them back. Well of course this cost me more money because it tool longer and I am leaving down the next day and couldn't wait to have a new hitch sent to me. I reached out to customer service who didn't do anything to help with the matter. I would never recommend Etrailer.com to anyone! 215304
by: John05/10/2016
Navigating the etrailer site was very straight forward. Purchasing the hitch needed and then processing the sale online was similarly easy. The product was soon received in good condition. The etrailer videos were very helpful and although it took me longer to install than a seasoned mechanic, nevertheless the installation went well, and now a year later, the hitch is still working very well - no complaints. A good product and good training and support provided for a very positive experience. 249573
by: Steve T09/20/2015
Great product for the do it yourselfer, installed in a Couple hours no problems at all. Another couple hours for the wiring harness, fit beautifully. I would highly recommend this product. 226535
by: Barry J03/16/2015
The shipment was delivered as promised and the installation process was as advertised. It takes some maneuvering to slide the bracket and bolt into the frame (you have to slide each part in separately on the pull wire) but once you figure it out the process goes pretty quickly. Make sure you watch the installation video. It really helps! 178380
by: Jim08/28/2015
AAAA++++ All the way !!! The people at E-trailer are great to deal with. Your prices are good and your price match policy is Great. Everyone that I dealt with was very accommodating and very helpful. Very fast shipping, well packaged. I will definitely buy from you in the future. Highly recommend. Thank you !! 222419
by: Bryan R04/23/2014
The installation went smoothly on my '08 Edge. The passenger side seemed more challenging but it got done. Torqueing the rear-most bolts to spec felt like I was crushing thin metal together but they eventually torqued. The hitch is pretty invisible and what you can see looks like it was an OEM install. 126765
by: Doug B.09/03/2014
Hitch was very easy to install and looks great on the car! Included with the kit came a really slick way to install the bolts. Very impressed with everything! Took less then a hour with car up on lift. Now if you had to do this on the ground I think things would be a little tougher but still totally doable! 149895
by: Rob O.10/06/2012
Quick delivery. Easy install. Took longer than expected though, as I do not have a vehicle lift and spent this time on my back. Love the instructional videos on the website was a big help. Looks great. Now I just have to install the electrical harness 118551 and I will be ready to tow!! Thanks Etrailer. 56594
by: Nick N.04/12/2015
Ordering from vender, delivery time and product were all excellent. I received the hitch within a week, and it took about an hour and a half to install. The instructions on the Curt hitch were spot on and made it easy to install. Hitch looks like is was a factory installed hitch. 184779

Thank you Corey, for helping me with my order. The trailer nose jack was exactly what my grandson wanted. Even the right size. He has used it almost daily and has had no problems. Thank you. Also the windshield wipers for my edge were perfect. Best ever. Thanks, Rony 249817
by: R. Johnson05/03/2013
I haven't used the hitch yet but instalation was very streight forward. The instuctions included with the hitch are very easy to follow. The hitch construction is very good and sturdy. I would recomend this hitch and etrailer.com to anyone looking for this type of product. 78817
by: Brian M04/09/2015
Overall great product, great price. Love the how to videos. Made install easier. The only downside is the bolts that came with the hitch were too big. The head of the bolts were too big to fit in the frame hole when fishing it through. Had to grind them down a bit. 184456
by: Len S.07/15/2012
The hitch fit great...It will take longer if you have to have to do it on your back and not a lift....They say to use a 17/32nd drill bit but a 9/16th works a little better...Overall I am happy and I did order the light kit...THANKS AND i WILL ORDER WITH YOU AGAIN 48036
by: Stephen deane12/26/2012
Product was just as described. It did bend in shipping. I'm sure UPS wasn"t very gental with it. It installed very nicely and does the job. Super fast shipping from you guys was awesome. Thank you so much. Price was also great...Would recommend you guys any day... 61964
by: Brad02/18/2013
This was perhaps my best shopping experience ever, including online and store visit shopping. I had a tracking number less than 3 hours after my order, and I had my order in 2 days. Product was exactly as described and easy to install. Thanks, Etrailer.com!!! 66682
by: Al W,07/26/2015
Nice Product the hitch went on pretty easy, the video and the directions were great tools . The most impressive part was the wire to get the bolts into the frame, impressive piece of Engineering work - very effective once I got the wire pulled through. Thank you 214574
by: Ben Davis08/16/2014
Marcia was friendly and knowledgeable. She confirmed what I researched on the website. I was very happy with my previous 11/4 receiver; but I needed a 2" receiver for a boat. My installer had it attached to my car in 30 minutes. Very happy. 147030
by: Steve08/10/2015
Love it. easy to install and the instructions are easy to follow. one person can do this install but 2 would help. very solid. this company is easy to work with and they keep the communication going. i would definitely buy from them again. 218076

Correction to my previous email on the installation of the trailer hitch on my Edge. I stated the drill size stated in the directions was too small for the supplied bolt. I was wrong; 17/32" is larger, not smaller, than 1/2". 170399
by: T N09/28/2015
Very pleased with product. Installation was easy with clear instructions (I also watched a you tube video that made it very clear). All the necessary hardware to install was included. Looks nice with quality looking paint. 228199
by: andy02/24/2014
I got the hitch way faster than I expected. Everything was perfect. I already installed hitch on my wife's truck the day it arrives and got to use the bike carrier that I needed the hitch for. thank you. 117345
by: David B08/23/2015
Very easy to install following the video and the picture directions. Solid hitch and smart looking. If you want a hitch for your Ford Edge you can't go wrong with this hitch and the price is right too. 221256
by: Shawn H.06/17/2015
Fit perfect and clean install. The instructions that came with it could use updating but the video was great. I will definetly be a repeat customer. Free shipping that came a day early was also a bonus. 204066

Solar is inevitable. I honestly believe that within the next decade or so, a substantial portion of our economy will be powered by free energy from the sun.
- We're running out of oil
- Pollution and erratic weather are on the rise
- We can't afford buying imported fuel
So if solar energy is the holy grail to so many of our woes, why isn't it already on every rooftop across the country?
Why does the Sunshine State lag behind Germany, Ontario, or Japan – regions with far less solar potential but whose commitment to clean energy puts Florida to shame?
There are actually several reasons, including lackluster renewable energy legislation, "relatively" inexpensive fossil fuel, and trade wars with China. But by far, the biggest barrier to solar's growth in Florida and beyond is the "knowledge gap."
The Solar Energy Knowledge Gap
So what do I mean by knowledge gap exactly?
Well, it comes in many different forms. For example, 97% of Americans grossly overestimate the cost of a residential solar PV installation – sometimes by as much as $20,000. The true cost can sometimes be well under $10,000. In fact, last year, we helped bring the cost down to $1 a watt – an unprecedented milestone in the industry in Fort Lauderdale, Florida last year.
Similar gulfs exist in other areas. So many genuinely concerned homeowners and business owners throughout Florida are woefully ignorant of solar energy's efficiency, reliability, durability, and income-generation potential (yes, you heard me correctly… you can make money off of your solar installation… for years and years).
And then many out there have countless questions about licensing, permitting, tax credits, incentives. It's perfectly understandable to feel overwhelmed by all of the legal and regulatory jargon.
But it doesn't have to be like this.
Filling the Solar Energy Knowledge Gap
At USSolar, we can't really affect renewable energy legislation or prevent more solar PV trade wars with China. What we can do, however, is help to bridge the knowledge gap and demystify solar energy for the growing number of Floridians out there who want to speed the country's transition to a solar-powered economy.
Starting this March, USSolar will begin offering free open houses to help educate local homeowners and businesses about their solar options. No hard-selling at all involved. In fact, you can come to these free sessions, gain a little knowledge, and then contract a direct competitor to help with your installation if that is your choice.
Our goal is not to convert you into customers – our goal is to convert you into clean power producers by raising public awareness and answering any and all questions you might have.
What topics will we cover?
- Solar Economics 101 – done correctly, solar energy is a better investment than gold. Not only do you dramatically reduce your electricity bills on Day 1, but you can also generate income from your installation.
- Training Opportunities – believe it or not, Florida doesn't have enough qualified solar PV installers to satisfy consumer demand. In this down economy, becoming certified is a great way to immunize yourself from future unemployment.
- Parts and Equipment – this is a big one. Very few markets in the US deal with the hurricane winds and salty humidity that Florida does. Regardless of which system you choose to install (ours or a competitor's), make sure you have a package that can withstand this Caribbean climate.
- Regulations & Incentives – the installation process is becoming more streamlined, but many of our customers have a ton of questions about incentives, legislation, and general paperwork. These free monthly open houses will give you a great overview of what to expect.
Come One, Come All – We Can't Wait to See Y'all
These free solar PV open houses will begin on March 9, with sessions scheduled for 11am, 1pm and 3pm each with a different topic. And we'll continue offering these training sessions every second Saturday of the month thereafter.
Like Floridian sunshine, these open houses are 100% free. So come join us if you have a moment.
Call us at 954-236-4577 to reserve your spot, or send us an email via our Contact Page with "Solar Saturday" in the Message body.
See you soon.

A wonderful weekend set in Seneca Falls
For years the community of Seneca Falls, New York has attracted attention as the likely inspiration for the fictional town of Bedford Falls in the 1946 film classic, Its A Wonderful Life. The real life story of a local man named Antonio Varacalli has been thought to be influential in key scenes in the movie. The Seneca Falls Its A Wonderful Life Festival takes place annually during the second weekend in December.
This years festival runs from December 13-15 and features the Bailey Sisters, actresses Karolyn Grimes who portrayed little Zuzu and Carol Coombs-Mueller who portrayed Janie, together with Donna Reeds daughter, Mary Owen. Also appearing will be Artist Yakovetic and Bob Welch, author of 52 Little Lessons From Its a Wonderful Life. Other featured events will include the Bedford Falls Station holiday postmark, screenings of the movies Its a Wonderful Life and The Bishops Wife, special presentations, autograph signings (autograph included with purchase or $10/autograph), and Merry Christmas George Bailey, an old time radio play based on the 1947 Lux Radio Theatre. Also returning are fan favorites, such as the annual Dance by the Light of the Moon, free horse-drawn carriage rides, characters on the street, roasted chestnuts, and Uncle Billys Scavenger Hunt. There are many events highlighting food from local restaurants including A Taste of Bedford Falls, Its A Wonderful Breakfast, Ma Baileys Hot and Hearty cook-off, An Evening at Bailey Park, and Zuzus Holiday Brunch. There will be crafts for kids, Santa Claus, Gingerbread Bedford Falls, Christmas concerts, raffles, and the popular Its A Wonderful Run 5K, which last year attracted more than 3,000 participants.
An ever growing event each year is the Grand Parade. We are honored to have our own Police Chief Stuart Peenstra serve as Grand Marshal. This year's It's A Wonderful Parade is going to be commentated by local radio host Ken Paradise from the WALL 99.3, and DJ company Paradise Entertainment. Leading the parade will be Sergeant Sue Hawker, followed by over 20 groups including characters from the movie, the Stepping Stone Angels, the Rising Stars, American War Dogs, a dog show by Brody's Boot Camp, and a very special appearance by the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile!
The community and visitors alike come out to show their appreciation for local fire department volunteers, the New York State Police, scouts and athletic groups, as well as members of the Knights of Columbus and the VFW Color Guard. At 1 p.m. on December 14, the parade will wind its way over Ovid Street Bridge, down Fall Street, and finishing across the iconic truss bridge.
Apart from the celebrities, Wonderful events and a plethora of food and treats to tantalize even the most discerning taste buds, is the abundant and wide range of memorabilia, souvenirs and keepsakes for sale. Being showcased for the first time this year are two special offers worth noting. For the first time an Its A Wonderful Life Festival Passport is available. As you experience The Real Bedford Falls the passport highlights the many links between Seneca Falls and Bedford Falls. Throughout your passport you will find 18 spots to place the stickers and stamps you collect as you visit the various places in town.
In Frank Capras inspiring movie Its A Wonderful Life, the message to us is that everyone makes a difference. At some point in everyones life there is a person who has touched you and changed your life forever. An angel sent at the right time. Now you can Give an Angel wings everyday with the Genuine Polish Crystal Bell. This unique gift measures 7 x 3 and has Its A Wonderful Life Seneca Falls . . . The Real Bedford Falls engraved upon it.
This year the Crystal Bell is being combined in a package with the traditional end of festival Bell Ringing celebration. Combine the purchase of the Crystal Bell with the Bells of Bedford Falls and have a bell rung for your Angel at the close of the Its A Wonderful Life celebration on December 15. The bells throughout the Real Bedford Falls will ring in recognition of those individual angels. You will receive a certificate with the honorees name, as well as yours, along with your Crystal Bell.
The festival begins on Friday, December 13th at 9 am and ends on Sunday afternoon with Christmas carols and the Bells of the Real Bedford Falls.
The schedule of events and other information may be found by visiting the event website at www.therealbedfordfalls.com.
It is a WONDERFUL weekend.

A huge multi-family sale at 200 Worthington Pkwy in northeast Columbia promises to have a great selection of clothing and shoes on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
For new and gently used clothing, stop by a multi-family sale at 2768 Decker Blvd. in northeast Columbia on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Rain date: July 26.
For a huge variety of high quality and some new items, never used and tagged merchandise and shoes, plan to go to a yard sale at 7115 Fontana Dr. off Leesburg Rd. in southeast Columbia on Saturday from 2 a.m. to 12 noon.
More yard, garage and estate sales include:
- Four yard and garage sales in Cayce/West Columbia

- One yard sale in Irmo
- Three yard sales and one estate sale in Lexington
- Eight yard and garage sales in northeast Columbia

- One yard sale in Elgin
Columbia sales are most likely to be on Saturday and early morning is the best time to go before everything is picked over. Be sure to carry cash, preferably in small denominations. Most people cannot accept debit or credit cards, and many will not take personal checks. If you're going with a friend, share the ride, since parking near sales is often limited. It's always a good idea to bring your own large totes or shopping bags, since they are often not available.
The yard sale season has peaked and will continue to be active through the summer and fall. Listings will continue to appear through the close of the South Carolina State Fair in October. Get out early for the best selection and enjoy the slightly cooler weekend!
As always, maximize your style and minimize your spending~

What do you call an object or a person which is frequently referenced but never actually appears? For example, Godot from 'Waiting for Godot'?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
They are often referred to as "off-stage characters" (or off-stage objects, places, etc.). This is even the case in media such as novels or radio plays that don't have a stage (using the mechanics of theatre as a source of metaphors for those other media).
Godot is a slightly more complicated case, because it's not clear whether he even exists, depending on how you interpret it, though it would still apply.
Sometimes even objects that aren't people are referred to as "off-stage characters" because they have such a strong impact upon the narrative. There's a clear degree of metaphor being used here, but it's not uncommon to find people talking about "the sea as an off-stage character" and so on.
Some people have suggested MacGuffin. A MacGuffin is something that drives the plot in some way, and hence clearly has some significance to the characters, but has no significance beyond that. A MacGuffin could be off-scene for all of a story, could be obtained at the end, or could be with the protagonist for the entire story (Goody McGooderson must travel across war-torn Ruritania with the MacGuffin, keeping it from Evil McEvilson and his network of spies). If you could change the MacGuffin for someone else (swap out "enemy codes" with "enemy weapon plans" or "diamonds" for "drugs") and have the same story, it's a MacGuffin. Otherwise you can't.
Godot is a MacGuffin in some interpretations of the play, and not in some others, as whether the question of who or what Godot is is even important differs with those interpretations. If you consider the question as unimportant, then you believe Godot is a MacGuffin.
I know that this doesn't qualify as a very good answer because it isn't a canonical device and it doesn't apply to simple objects of reference which have no particular power in the narrative, but when I think of characters like Rebecca or even Clym Yeobright (in the first half of the text) I think of the phrase "invisible hand". Yes, Smith meant something else, but it is an evocative term for a force or influence mentioned but never present.

There has been a great deal of attention focused on the future of Warner Bros.' DC Comics movies, but before any of that unfolds there's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to deal with first. And as we saw with the failed Green Lantern movie, one screw-up can alter the course of an entire franchise. The gang over at Joblo.com have rounded up some new 'Dawn of Justice' info that goes into some detail on Wonder Woman's costume and screen time, Batman's home, and even a little bit on Lex Luthor and why he's such a jerk. This is all available via Youtube video, so this will just skim the basics and you can watch the vid for the full deal. And obviously, there are some spoilers beyond this point.
There had been some conflicting reports in regards to the costume Gal Gadot (the image above is fan made, not official) would be wearing as Wonder Woman, with some stating she'd be wearing the updated version with jacket and leggings, but it will reportedly be a traditional "battle ready" costume that is "ripped straight from the comics". She'll also have her full arsenal of weapons from the shield, sword, spear, and of course the golden Lasso of Truth. Wonder Woman won't just be making a cameo, either, as she's said to have a fair amount of screen time and is involved in a major battle sequence.
The relationship between Batman's "grizzled veteran" crime fighter and Superman will be much as it is in the comics, with their personalities frequently clashing. Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne will have Wayne Manor , although his Batcave is situated underneath another building on the property. And as for Lex Luthor, played by Jesse Eisenberg who may have red hair in the beginning of the film, he's basically pissed because Superman makes him feel inadequate. This causes Lex to try and partially succeed in swaying public opinion against Superman, calling him a threat to humanity.
The rest you can check out in the below video. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice opens May 6th 2016.

The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) plans to revise its Large Pelagics Fishing Survey.
NOAA is announcing in the Federal Register of Monday, Feb. 24 that it is taking public comments on extension of and revision to the survey. For details, see http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-02-24/html/2014-03751.htm.
NOAA plans to survey recreational anglers and businesses who serve them by telephone and in person at docks to ask about large pelagics intercepts, validation and biology of fish. NOAA will survey people who fish in the Atlantic Ocean about catch of tuna, shark, marlin and billfish.
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service uses the survey to judge catch of these fish. NOAA explains that the "information collected is essential for the United States to meet its reporting obligations to the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna."
NOAA has proposed the following changes in the survey:
- Dropping the Large Pelagics Headboat Survey
- Increasing the annual Large Pelagics Telephone Survey target sample size from 10,780 to 15,900 interviews for Northeast and Southeast combined
- Adding up to five questions to the survey
- Following up to non-responders in the Southeast. NOAA already follows up in the Northeast. Participation is supposed to be mandatory.
Send your comments by March 26.

If you happened to catch MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes last night, a segment he ran featured the story of Rais Bhuiyan, a Bangladeshi American military veteran who was shot in the face by Mark Stroman in the days following 9/11. Stroman was swept up in the anti-Muslim hysteria and sought ought to kill anybody he perceived as an Arab. Stroman killed two other people that day but Bhuiyan survived, and a decade later he came appealed to have Stroman saved from the death penalty. That remarkable story is now being brought to the big screen, placed in the capable hands of Oscar winning director Kathryn Bigelow, Tom Hardy, and Annapurna Pictures.
Bigelow will direct and produce The True American, which is also the title of journalist
Anand Giridharadas' book on the subject. Hardy will star, possibly as Stroman, the Texas man who referred to himself as the "American Terrorist". This will be a reteaming of Bigelow and Annapurna Pictures, the studio previously producing Zero Dark Thirty.
Bhuiyan's story has been all over the news of late due to the renewed controversy over the death penalty, so count this as another timely effort from Bigelow that's sure to make some waves.
Check out the video of Giridharadas on Chris Hayes' show, along with the official press release.
Annapurna's Megan Ellison, who previously worked with Bigelow as a producer on ZERO DARK THIRTY, is set to produce. Annapurna's Matthew Budman, who co-produced ZERO DARK THIRTY, will serve as Executive Producer.
THE TRUE AMERICAN meticulously reconstructs two lives that collided in horrific fashion. In the charged, angry days after 9/11, self-styled "American Terrorist" Mark Stroman murdered two immigrants in Texas, while a third man survived being shot in the head during Stroman's spree: Raisuddin Bhuiyan, a Bangladesh Air Force veteran, was working at a Dallas-area convenience store as he established himself in America.
With Stroman identified and apprehended, the tale begins its tack toward deeper emotional waters. THE TRUE AMERICAN is a richly detailed, affecting account of two men bound, as it turns out, by more than just an act of violence.

Emmanuel Taylor rebounded nicely with a win after suffering just the second loss of his career in his previous bout as "the Tranzformer" lived up to his nickname by changing the momentum of his career. Adrien Broner also has momentum after winning the vacant WBA International light welterweight title in his last bout which, like Taylor, was after a loss in his previous bout that was the first time Broner had ever tasted defeat. Adrien Broner will face Emmanuel Taylor on September 6 at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, OH. Adrien Broner opened as a -900 favorite with Emmanuel Taylor as a +625 dog with the Boxing odds.
Adrien "The Problem" Broner
Adrian Broner is 25 years of age and stands at five feet six and one half inches tall with a reach of 69 and one half inches and fights from an orthodox stance. Broner was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA where he still resides making this bout a home arena advantage for him. Broner is the fourth ranked light welterweight in the United States and is ranked sixth in the world. Broner is coming off a unanimous decision win over Carlos Molina in a ten round bout that took place on May 3, 2014 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada which was for the vacant WBA International light welterweight title. Prior to that Broner lost his first title defense of his WBA World welterweight title that he defeated Paul Malignaggi for as he lost a unanimous decision to Marcos Rene Maidana on December 14, 2013 in a 12 round bout that took place in San Antonio, TX.
Emmanuel "Tranzformer" Taylor
The 23 year old Emmanuel Taylor stands at five feet seven and one half inches tall with a reach of 65 inches and fights from an orthodox stance. Taylor was born in the United States and resides in Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, USA. Taylor has a career record of 18 wins and 2 losses in 20 career bouts with 12 knockout wins and two knockout losses in his career. He is the 11th ranked light welterweight in the United States and is ranked 27th in the world. On July 18, 2014 Taylor scored a 10 round unanimous decision win over Karim Mayfield.
The Pick
We'll call for Broner as the big chalk winner in this one!
I'm going with Broner by late kayo. Holla!
I can't argue with that. Broner by KO .Taylor stands in the pocket without letting his hands go. Perfect opponent for AB to stand there and pot shot while running his mouth. Just watched a Broner sparring session and he was getting worked over and talking smack. The other boxer started talking smack and said , "another handpicked opponent Al Haymon got for you,huh?"
Taylor allowed Algieri free reign to do whatever he wanted and put forth nothing in the way of opposition to prevent the one sided route.
Broner who appears to be rejuvenated and rededicated to sport will use this opportunity to reintroduce himself to the fans and use the win as a springboard to challenge a major player.
The fight here depenz, Haydrians next venue is in Washington or Pittsburg! yowww!
I was not impressed with Taylor in his latest bout with Karim Mayfield. Like deep mentioned, this guy stays within distance but that's as aggressive as he gets. It's easy for him to say he picked out what Maidana did to be successful in his bout with AB (almost as easy as it is for me to type about it) and can do something similar but that aint nothin' but a bluff. Maidana is an erratic,big cojones out-law type willing to cross paths with lions and no disrespect to Taylor but I just don't see him being cut from the same cloth. IMO, the guys that will trouble AB will be the ones that put him in that "flight or fight" mode. He seemed to fight stunned and in shock when he fought Maidana and MM was able to capitalize on that with the already naturally low out-put, selective puncher AB. I see Broner taking this fight 9-3 and hopefully we see him in with some better competition.
Here's a video with Broner in his latest camp. WARNING: he is not being cocky at all and seems to be really calm and I think it's because he's dead tired and not so much a change in personality.Lol.. He also explains who his all time favorite fighters are- Mayweather should be cashing Broner out for making him seem like TBE....

Dang! I thought you were being facetious. He was really not being ur d¡•• brain. Hehehe! Holla!
Haha. Right? Dude seemed way too chill in front of the camera....
Let's hope Taylor puts some good effort in on this fight.. When the chips aren't with Broner he doesn't do well..
[QUOTE=Skibbz;62739]Let's hope Taylor puts some good effort in on this fight.. When the chips aren't with Broner he doesn't do well..[/QUOTE]
Taylor is not a bad fighter. His problem in the ring is not talent or skill but instead is that he doesn't fight in a manner to maximize his abilities. His talent gets him through the C level fighters with no problem or those that are past their prime (Karim Mayfield for example) but has issues when he steps up to the B and A level.
If Taylor puts it altogether, he could give Broner a decent run for his money. But if Taylor lets Broner dictate like let Algieri do in February, Broner will have an easy time of it. What I mean by dictate is that Taylor follows Broner around the ring not cutting it off and puts the ear muffs on way to much while hesitating to let his hands go. If Taylor fights in that manner, well Broner could have a walk in the park. But if Taylor can cut the ring down some, work behind the jab consistently and not hesitate to let combinations off, we could end up seeing a decent scrap here on Saturday.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Awarded Cooperative Agreement to Prevent Violence and Violence-Related Injury
Mental Health Effects of Internet-Mediated Violence
FOA Number: CE04-060 - Coop. Agreement For Research On The Association Between Exposure To Media Violence And Youth Viol.
Project Period: 9/30/04-9/29/07

Principal Investigator: Michele Lynn Ybarra, PhD

Much research on television violence has been conducted; much less attention, however, has focused on newer media—specifically, the Internet. It is likely that Internet exposures have a greater effect on aggressive and violent behavior of young people than other media exposure because of the heightened interactivity, realistic graphics, and other visual stimulation. Because the Internet is an emerging technology to which youth have significant access, this study has important implications for public health policy and practice.
It is proposed that 1,400 households be surveyed nationwide, including one caregiver and one child, age 10 to 15, who uses the Internet. The caregiver and child will be contacted by telephone and interviewed through the Internet, with two follow-up interviews. Data will be collected three times over a two-year period. Participants will be identified via random digit dialing (RDD) and then directed to an Internet site to respond to the survey. This method combines the strengths of telephone and Web-based surveys to produce results that maximize representativeness while minimizing response bias. The relationship between exposure to violent new media and aggressive behavior will be monitored for two years after the baseline interview.
The investigators hypothesize that children age 10 to 15 who use violent media, including websites and video/computer games, will manifest more violent and aggressive behaviors over time than children of the same ages who do not use violent media. In addition, it is hypothesized that individual factors (i.e., sex and trait-aggression) and contextual factors (i.e., witnessing violence) will be important components in understanding the association between violent media and violent behavior.

Car Parking Barcelona
Page Content
Parking your car in Barcelona can be a problem. Although the city centre does have parking facilities the car parks are often full or have limited spaces. You'll also find that it's difficult to find a car park space on the streets in the city centre. However this page will guide you through the steps you can take if you need to park your car in Barcelona city centre.
Do you really have to bring a car into Barcelona city centre?
The best advice I can give is try avoid bringing a car into the city centre if you can. You will save a lot problems if you don't.
Barcelona has an excellent public transport system. The Barcelona metro system can take you almost everywhere that you need to go. If you can't get to your destination by metro then buses or taxis are readily available and offer a low-cost transport option.
But I definitely need to park my car in Barcelona centre
OK so you've decided to "brave it" and bring your car into the city centre. You have a number of options open to you.
Are you driving a foreign plated car?
If you are driving a foreign plated car then bear in mind that these cars are often targeted for robbery. Even when driving make sure that your doors (and boot is locked). If there is slow-moving traffic it has been known for thieves to pop open the boot or open a door and run off with the contents. The same is true for open windows. If you can reach in and grab something of value then ensure to have your windows wound up to prevent this.
To give you some peace of mind it is best parking your car in a car park with some form of security surveillance. Note that the car parks in general do not give any guarantees of security but they are a lot safer than leaving your car on the street.
Parking at the Barcelona Bus terminal Estación de Nord
Barcelona bus terminal has a large car parking facility.
The other advantage of using this car park is there is a metro stop right outside the bus station which gives you ready access to the entire city via the metro underground system.
Estación de Nord (Barcelona Nord Station)
Metro Arc de Triomf (Red Line, L1) or Marina (Red Line, L1).
Estación de Nord can be found at the junction of Carrer de Napols and Av de Vilanova.
Reserve your car parking at Barcelona Nord Bus Station
There are also a number of car parks in Barcelona city centre which you can try your luck at. Rate per hour is €2.65 (Rates are calculated per minute), €16.00 per day (24 hours, normal car) without moving the car outside the car park.
Cheap long term car parking
Perhaps you just want somewhere secure and low cost to leave your car whilst you explore the city? You may want to leave your car there for more than just a few days without paying a small fortune in parking fees. But how can you do this? As usual, Barcelona-tourist-guide has the answers. Visit our page on how to find cheap long term car parking in Barcelona.
Car impounding in Barcelona
If you park in a non-designated car parking area you'll almost certainly receive a ticket or have your car towed away.
This happened to a friend of mine who lives in Barcelona. She parked a car in a restricted area for only 20 minutes or so only to find that her car had been towed away when she got back.
At first we thought her car had been stolen but then we rang the car impound and found it had been towed away. It cost €175.00 to have her car released and there are additional charges per hour if the car is not picked up within a certain time frame. You will also have a horrible sticker stuck right across your windscreen that takes an age to remove.
If your caught out and found that your car has been towed see our detailed information on what to do if your car is impounded in Barcelona.

Summary for Car Parking Barcelona
