Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
The first Saturn Dealer wanted MSRP.
I know is was Saturn's original business plan to charge MSRP, but I understand they had to modify the plan to stay in business.
Please post your experiences.
str8line Posts: 3We ordered a fully loaded Outlook just before Christmas. The price came to approximately $44,500(I don't remember the exact price). The dealer would not dicker but we are getting a $1000 GM conquest incentive since we currently own a non-GM car. So our price will be approximately $43,500 before taxes and licensing. I'm a little hesitant to pay full sticker but I really like the vehicle compared to everything else out there(I exhaustively cross-shopped).
We put $100 down so if for some reason I change my mind I can back out of the deal. I found the overall sales experience to be absolutely no pressure. Very refreshing!
outlookin Posts: 1Just purchased an Outlook XE FWD and as the others are saying, they are not moving from sticker(St. Louis Area.) They say they are priced that way. The ACADIA with similar options costs $2000 more. Mine with options: conv pack-auto starter,120v outlet(450), trailer pack(425), and preferred package-power drivers seat (505) was stickered at 29,370. The model is the low end for the Outlook.
FYI- the ACADIA's in Northwest Indiana (Chicagoland Area) were selling as they came in and some stores had waiting lists for them!!
I have never purchased a new Saturn, so I was not aware of their MSRP no hassle pricing plan. After doing a little research, I did see that over the last 2-3yrs GM gave Saturn a lot of incentives, so they could sell some cars. Outlook is hot right now, so incentives will be low, it will be interesting to see what happens once other crossovers offer cash and interest rate incentives.
meadows6 Posts: 3I just bought an Outlook XR AWD loaded. There is something wrong with the fuel gauge. It reads that it's half full one second then 1/4 full the next. The needle will then slowly creep up. I'll park it and restart it and then it will say it's empty.
I took it to the dealer today and they looked at it and talked to Saturn who said that they would have to get back to them on it. So now I have to drive a car not knowing how much gas is actually in it.
I'm tempted to take advantage of the 30 day return policy, but I would have to get another Saturn from what I understand. Just scared this thing is a lemon from what I've been reading about people's experiences with other cars, including the vue. Anyone else have this problem?
beach15 Posts: 1,305Don't jump ship too early--it's very likely an extremely simple problem, and shouldn't take much for the dealer to fix it. Things happen, and sometimes tiny pieces go even when new. Sounds like a basic fuel sender error (had the same on our Suburban, which was an easy enough thing for the dealer).
These are VERY high quality vehicles, and so far, seem to be proving nearly without issue--and they're NOTHING like old Saturn's, or even GM's, of the past.
Ask your Outlook lease questions here!
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
What is the best deal?
An Outlook at MSRP (- incentives) or an Acadia at Invoice (-incentives).
Interesting dilemma.
If you ask the Saturn salesperson and they will tell you that the Outlook will give you more car for money, while GMC states that Acadia has more option configurations and is the best deal for the money.
Who is right?
aroxas2000 Posts: 1My family is looking into leasing an Outlook configured as follows:
Midnight Blue/Tan Leather
Advanced Audio pkg
Convenience pkg
DVD entertainment center
Enhanced convenience pkg
Navigation system with CD/DVD player
Premium Trim pkg
Touring pkg
HID Lamps
XM radio
My questions are as follows:
1. What is the best price that I can get for an Outlook with the options above? We live in Norther NJ.
2. I have a supplier discount. How much of a discount will this amount to?
3. To evaluate my leasing options, I want to play around with different scenarios with my downpayment amount. To do this, I need the following additional numbers:
a. supplier discount (as above)
b. residual value at end of 36 months
c. money factor or APR for the lease
d. cap cost (I assume just the cost of the car net of supplier discount)
e. typical bank fees, doc fees added on to the lease cost
4. How much do the numbers above change if I choose a 39 month lease instead?
5. Any Saturn offers that I can avail off? Conquest rebate? This would be my first GM car.
From the Edmund's board on GMC Acadia Pricing:
I just looked at a comparison sheet I did for myself comparing Outlook and Acadia pricing. An SLT2 AWD Acadia with no additional options has an MSRP of $38,105 and invoice price of $35,676 (both numbers are before incentives). A similarly equipped Outlook XR AWD w/leather, memory seats, captains, convenience pkg and 6-disc changer is MSRP of $36,600.
You can get the $1,000 Conquest cash on either vehicle, so I'll ignore that. However, there is a $500 bonus cash available in my region ($1000 in certain other regions) on the Acadia that apparently is not available on the Outlook. So if you could really get invoice price before incentives on the Acadia (which I doubt you can - yet) you would be paying at least $1,424 less than the Outlook in my example. But, even if you paid $1000 over invoice, you'd still be $424 ahead with the Acadia.
I haven't mentioned that my Outlook example doesn't include dual exhaust, which is standard on the Acadia but you need to buy the Touring pkg with 19" wheels to get on the Outlook. Also on the Acadia, you can get the head-up display (at additional cost of course) that is not available on the Outlook (and not included in my example above).
If you have any GM Card earnings to use, the Acadia starts becoming a lot cheaper because you can't use those on Saturn either.
Why would you buy a Saturn? You pay more and get less.
Aggressive buyers claim to be purchasing the Acadia at invoice price.
Good Luck!
Did anyone get a good deal on an Outlook or just pay MSRP?
Is the 'no hassle' price a good deal?
When you compare the numbers of the deals reported by the Acadia buyers the Outlook does not look like a good deal.
The question is why would some pay more for a car that gives you less? There must be a good reason!
micmayes Posts: 3How about a Canadian perspective??
The Acadia sells for $2500 more than an Outlook here in Canda. Yes the Acadia has a couple of things on it that the Outlook does not but the Outlook also has a couple of things on it that the Acadia doesn't. I llok at them as being equal.
For $3000 more I could get AWD on an Outlook which would be roughly the same price as a FWD Acadia.
For me it will come down to incentives when they start getting offered.
Interesting. Canada must be like Europe (fixed pricing on cars). If fixed pricing was the standard in the US the Outlook would also be the best buy, but with invoice pricing and better incentives make the GMC a better deal in the US.
Wonder why the dealer didn't fix this immediately - pretty poor service, seems to me. Not a good sign. Do you think another dealer's service dept would do better?
Is there another dealer in your area where you could take it in? this is unacceptable service! if you could get another car that you wanted, why not go ahead and exchange it, (then it's their problem!)
Re our price discussion - Can you tell us what you paid for your Outlook? (was it full sticker?)
I priced out an Acadia, and the Edmunds TMV was a paltry $72 under full MSRP! The difference between MSRP & Invoice on this vehicle was $2544, by the way. Also, there is a very limited supply at the dealerships around here, and they seem to sell fairly quickly, so I wonder what a realistic purchase price might really be. $1000 over invoice might be wishful thinking, tho I hope you are right.
Personally, I actually liked the Outlook much more than the Acadia because because of the interior appearance, as I think the woodgrain is very nice looking,(& not available on the Acadia) - also the Outlook offers a light tan leather seat that is beautiful, and Acadia only offers lt. gray & black leather. So these (to me) are more important than the dual exhaust & heads-up. But - I have GM card credits, so looks like I will go with the Acadia - but 'twere not for that, I think I might get more, for about the same, if I were to get the Outlook - so basically, without GM credits or incentives, it all depends on markup over invoice on the Acadia, whether Saturn dealers 'deal' (and it doesn't sound like they do, so far) - and - personal preference on options.
Re: incentives: when I checked (this is now Mar) I could not find any(except a $500 credit, for vets only). Today, the dealer told me that some GM incentives(incl Acadia?)will be announced on Mar 12th (some other post-er mentioned that GM often offers incentives in mid-Mar.) So we will see!
By the way, Gm customer service sent me a $700 'loyalty certificate' to use on a new gm vehicle, because I called them about a problem I had with the glove-box 'hinge' separating (& disappointment with my GM product-engineering). So, it pays to contact them with issues such as this, if you have any, and are courteous about it. (Actually, they offered to pay $100 to have it fixed, or give me the certificate, which I was glad to accept.)

You make some good points concerning both cars. Bottom line most decisions are driven by the mighty dollar.
Check the Acadia board, many claim that $500 above invoice is pretty easy to get, some are getting the cars at invoice.
Once you apply the incentives, GM points, and loyalty cash, you should be able to make a great deal.
Work the Internet first, until you get some good quotes, then go talk to the Internet Sales person at your dealership to see if he will match your best price, if he will not walk away.
Good Luck
Hi aroxas20. Chances are that the price that you are able to get on this truck through General Motors' supplier purchase program is better than the one that you would be able to negotiate on your own. The dealer will be able to tell you what this truck's supplier price is. You also should be able to find out what the price of this truck is by visiting the GM Supplier Discount Web Site.
As far as this truck's lease program goes, GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Saturn Outlook XR FWD with 15,000 miles per year are 6.9% and 63%, respectively. The lease rate for an otherwise identical 39 month lease would be the same, but its residual value would be 1% lower. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.
If you lease this truck, at lease signing you will have to pay your first month's payment, a security deposit equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment, GMAC's $595 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees.
The only cash incentive that I am aware of on this truck right now is the $1,000 conquest cash that you mentioned. If you are the current owner or lessee of a non-GM vehicle you should be able to take advantage of this cash.

axmangto Posts: 4My dealer insists the 36 month residual is 60%. Could the 63% be based on the base (sticker) MSRP and 60% if they try to use any "add-on" sticker items? Perhaps if I could reference your source for the 63% I may get further with them.
tkw1 Posts: 1I am new to these discussion boards and I am finding them invaluable.. thank you!
I, too, am considering leasing an Outlook.
I just don't understand how to use the numbers you are giving above to figure out exactly how much I might pay for the lease.
The vehicle I've built online is about 35,000.00
I don't have the supplier discount, I am in my 4th Jeep GC and I'm willing to forgo all of the benies and $$ I'll save to get into the Saturn if the numbers work out.
I just don't trust the dealers, so I'd like to understand this better.
Also, at the risk of sounding completely uneducated in this, would there be a benefit to turning in my leased Jeep to Saturn (it's an early termination of the lease by 5 mos., about $1,600.00). But I'd have to pay close to $1000.in overage miles if I keep it any longer. Until I know what the Saturn lease #'s are I can't make the decision.
Thanks very much.
on most Edmunds lease boards for various SUV's and crossovers the host(s) advise to never put a deposit, and to not sign a lease that charges you to pay a disposal feel. They advise not to give the dealership any monies and to make them apply all incentives to your lease. Can you elaborate how you would lease a outlook without money upfront - I have excellent credit.
karkuhoit Posts: 1Saturn is offering the following deals on a 39 mo. lease for the Outlook:
1) 2007 XE FWD MSRP $27990, cap cost $26588, residual $17354, $1995 due at signing, no security deposit, TTL extra, payments of $349.00 per month
2) 2007 XR FWD MSRP $30290, cap cost $28921, residual $18780, $1995 due at signing, no security deposit, TTL extra, payments of $381.00 per month
Can you advise me as to these offers? We test drove the Outlook yesterday and are considering purchasing or leasing one in the next couple of months. The dealership does not negotiate sticker price. I am concerned about the $1995 due at signing because I've read that it's not a good idea to put money down on a lease.
Hey axmangto. I am pretty sure that this truck's 36 month residual value is higher than 60%.

Welcome tkw1. I am glad that you have found this discussion so helpful. It sounds like you are new to the world of leasing. If so, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
You definitely will not benefit from turning in your Jeep before the scheduled end of your lease. Chrysler Financial is currently running a promotion that lets current lessees out of their deals up to five months early if they lease a new Grand Cherokee, but if you try to get out of your current deal early to lease a Saturn you are going to have to pay for your remaining payments out of your own pocket, either in cash at signing or by rolling it into your new lease.

Hi neicey59. Consumers can lease any vehicle that they want without making a capitalized cost reduction, aka down payment. I would be happy to estimate what a zero down lease payment would be like on the Saturn Outlook that you are interested in right now. In order for me to do so I need you to tell me exactly which Outlook you want, what its MSRP is, what its approximate selling price (this may just be the MSRP if the Saturn dealer that you work with will not negotiate) is, how long you want to lease it for, and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it. You can look up this truck's pricing by visiting the following section of this site: Edmunds.com - New Vehicle Pricing. Once you have this info, let me know and I'll work up a sample lease payment for you.
As far as not signing a lease that charges a disposition fee goes, you may not have any choice. Many banks charge consumers who do not lease another new vehicle through then at the end of their current deal a disposition fee. Dealers do not have the authority to waive this charge.

Hi karkuhoit. Even though Saturn dealers are traditionally no-haggle, some dealers will negotiate prices. It wouldn't hurt to shop around a little bit to see if you can find a dealer that is willing to lower the selling price of the Outlook that you are interested in.

confused10 Posts: 1This is my first time on here and I have to admit I am very confused. I usually purchase my cars. But I am looking to lower my payment so I am considering a lease. Would it be crazy to lease an Outlook and take the buyout at the end. I am not familiar with how leasing works. Also on these lease deals if if get an employee discount does that change the lease deal price?? Sorry such basic questions but as I said I have never leased before.

International IP Enforcement Summit London 2014
We, the participants of the first international enforcement summit in 2014, celebrate the unique economic, social and cultural contribution of the world's creators and innovators.
June 13, 2014 (Newswire.com) - We, the participants of the first international enforcement summit in 2014, celebrate the unique economic, social and cultural contribution of the world's creators and innovators.
We recognise the significant opportunities and benefits presented by new digital technologies and international trade flows for all of our citizens, businesses and economies.
But we see clearly that, without a proper respect for intellectual property rights and unless we tackle intellectual property abuses such as counterfeiting and piracy, their value will be undermined.
We agree that active cross-border cooperation and international collaboration is needed to provide effective protection for intellectual property rights.
We commit to working together to:
• Build a global understanding of the scope, scale and impact of counterfeiting, piracy and other IP infringements and the principal trends and issues;
• Develop balanced and practical solutions based on robust data and credible insight;
• Increase the visibility and impact of enforcement activity;
• Raise awareness to citizens and consumers on the value of IP and on the damages associated with counterfeit goods and content piracy
• Raise awareness to consumers and citizens to help protect them from the growing risks associated with counterfeit goods and content piracy.
We will work in partnership to support and strengthen the effectiveness of Governments, enforcement agencies, border authorities and regulatory services in addressing IP crime by:
• sharing information and identifying opportunities to improve enforcement approaches and frameworks;
• Sharing and applying best practice and the most effective tools, techniques and analysis to enhance detection and deter physical and online IP infringement;
• Enhancing public and private sector cooperation at international borders.
In all that we do, we will seek to work openly to balance the interests of legitimate IP users with those of IP rights holders.
We will maintain and develop the relationships we have forged at this Summit and will gather again in 2016 to review our impact.
We call on our partners in Government, enforcement agencies and business organisations around the world to join our united effort to address international IP abuses.

About $10 million to $16 million may have been embezzled from the Taupa Lithuanian Credit Union in Cleveland, which would make it one of the largest credit union fraud cases ever.
Monday hearing set for suspect No. 2 in Cleveland CU collapse as court documents reveal cooperation, details of long-running fraud.
Former teller accused of embezzling $480,000 while working for CEO Alex Spirikaitis.
Some proceeds from sale of Cleveland-area home of ex-Taupa Lithuanian CEO would got to NCUA.
Alex R. Spirikaitis and his lawyer have been given more time to conduct pre-indictment negotiations with federal prosecutors over Spirikaitis' role in a massive fraud case that led to the collapse of the $23.6 million Taupa Lithuanian Credit Union in Cleveland.
Ex-fugitive CEO gets extra month to negotiate before indictments in Taupa Lithuanian case.
Authorities finally captured former Taupa Lithuanian President/CEO Alex R. Spirikaitis Oct. 21, who had been a fugitive since July until he was nabbed by federal agents while walking on a sidewalk on Cleveland's east side.
Documents now show Taupa Lithuanian FCU case may be one of the largest known thefts from a credit union.
CLEVELAND — CEO had "multiple semi-automatic weapons" and ammunition stored at now-closed credit union.

There was a great early bit on Saturday Night Live where Chevy Chase played Vlad the Impaler's neighbor. He calls on him to complain. Vlad asks him about what?
"The Impalings. It's the noise."
"What noise — it's just a soft squishy sound," Vlad answers.
"I mean the screaming."
"Well," says Vlad, "I'm not responsible for that part."
When President Obama repeatedly claims that if you like your current health insurance you can keep it under his plan, he's being as disingenuous as Vlad. If the plan crammed through committee by his party's House leaders with his support stays, many businesses will convert to the cheaper government option and you won't keep your plan. Worse, you won't be able to buy another private one because the bill also prevents you from doing so. Obama is blowing smoke on this and other provisions.
The issue is about to morph into a bigger one. The 2010 election may transcend the current health care debate and be decided by the attitude of those debating.
The left wing of the Democratic Party combined with normal Beltway arrogance and the Chicago mentality of the current administration makes a poisonous brew. Add the moral superiority and failure to attribute to your opponents any decent motivations prevalent in modern liberalism, and you're talking suicide potion.
The best example is, unfortunately for them, an honest belief that all those tea parties and town hall attendees are "Astroturf" and brought in by "paid organizers." This stems partly from projection — when they do a "spontaneous rally," it's always planned. You can tell by the printed signs done in advance, the assigned speakers with pre-set talking points, the union T-shirts and the centralized approach. They can't do a demonstration without paid staff. Therefore neither can anybody else. Think back on the anti-Bush demonstrators of the past few years. Also recall how nasty they were.
News flash to those claiming "big pharm and insurance" are secretly behind opposition to Obamacare. Obama already sold out to big pharm by banning purchase of Canadian meds, and opposing Republican efforts to allow insurance to move over state lines. That has the insurance lobby watching and waiting. They also kinda like that "everybody has to buy it" provision.
The other part comes from arrogance and over-reach. A 53 percent win is not a mandate. It's a lot of other things that can go south in a hurry, as the GOP discovered after 2004. Obama needs to grasp that he isn't FDR, who stomped Hoover in 1932. It would also help if he grasped that FDR did not have a daily fireside chat.
Which leaves that batch of Dems called Blue Dogs, aptly described by John McCain as dogs who bark but don't bite and end up rolling over and playing dead. Congresswoman Gabby Giffords is one. My wife was surprised — Kathy thought it hard to think of Gabby in terms of solid colors. "Wouldn't she be more like a pastel?"
Gabby is not holding face-to-face town halls. She gave some Mickey Mouse reason, but the real one is she can't take any heat. She's never really had anything but beachballs tossed her by the local media.
Handling unruly crowds used to be a necessary talent for a successful politician. Check question time in the Brit Parliament as an example. Gabby is no Tony Blair. And certainly no Maggie Thatcher.
Many Democrats are attacking the messengers who are their own constituents. Others, like Gabby, are avoiding them. Most are into denial about the real problem, which is a lousy health care bill.
A good medical analogy concerns illness diagnosis. When you hear hoofbeats, don't think zebras.

Sandra Sanchez, Week of July 5, 2010
"I already took the pills there is nothing you can do." Those were the first words 311 operator Sandra Sanchez heard when she answered the phone. The caller had taken some pills and stated she wanted to die. The caller was very upset, crying hysterically. Sanchez had to calm the caller down, and asses the situation. She had to switch her mindset quickly to handle potentially life threatening situation. During a very difficult situation Sanchez managed to get the callers name, phone number, and address. She was able to contact her supervisor and explain the situation. From there the supervisor was able to contact police and talk the caller into allowing them to transfer her call to police. Because Sanchez was quick thinking and compassionate she was able to get the caller the help she needed to save her life.

Texaco Press Release - First BusinessLINC National Conference Concludes With Announcement
BusinessLINC Exceeds Year-End Goal
The following Press Release was issued by The Business Roundtable.
WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 17, 2000 - The Business Roundtable (BRT) concluded the first national BusinessLINC conference today in Washington, D.C. with the announcement of eight new BusinessLINC coalitions in Richmond, New Orleans, Atlanta, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Flint (MI), Buffalo, and the Southwest Border. This brings the total number of local BusinessLINC Coalitions to sixteen, which exceeds the National Coalition's year-end expectations.
The National BusinessLINC Conference was held October 15th through the 17th to communicate BusinessLINC's objective of fostering mentoring relationships between large and small companies in economically distressed urban and rural areas. (The LINC acronym stands for Learning, Investment, Networking and Collaboration.) The National Coalition also encouraged the creation of local coalitions by providing case studies of successful business partnerships from around the country to use as "best practice" examples.
The Business Roundtable established a year-end 2000 goal of doubling the number of local BusinessLINC coalitions throughout the country. BusinessLINC began the year with six coalitions in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Washington, D.C., the Mississippi River Delta Region and New York City. Since then, other coalitions have been formed in Houston and San Francisco. The addition of these eight new local coalitions exceeds the National Coalition's expectations of its year-end expansion efforts.
"We are delighted with the progress made by the National Coalition in supporting the development of new local coalitions throughout the country. In order for this program to be successful, it is vital that the National Coalition continues to challenge corporations to recognize the role they must play in extending the reach of the country's unparalleled economic growth to every community," stated BusinessLINC National Chairman, Peter I. Bijur, Chairman and CEO of Texaco Inc.
The U.S. Department of Treasury and the Small Business Administration, in collaboration with The Business Roundtable, launched the BusinessLINC initiative as a partnership with America's business community in August 1999.

The Highwater Ethanol plant in the southwestern Minnesota town of Lamberton holds its grand opening celebration Friday.
Highwater Ethanol will use around 20 million bushels of Minnesota-grown corn to produce 55 million gallons of ethanol and nearly 180,000 tons of livestock feed a year.
The company says dignitaries scheduled to attend include U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, who chairs the House Agriculture Committee, and Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson.
The Renewable Fuels Association notes the celebration is on the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. It says ethanol production is an important component of the nation's energy security strategy because it reduces America's dependence on foreign oil.

ROSWELL, Ga. – Real estate veteran Lori Lane joined the executive team of Prudential Georgia Realty as senior vice president.
Lane will also continue as managing broker of the New Homes Services (NHS) division of the company.
Dan Forsman, CEO of Prudential Georgia Realty, said Lane has proven herself to be a leader in good and difficult times.
"She has led our New Homes Services division since 2006 and we extend our deepest appreciation for the exceptional sales results she and her team have produced for our clients," Forsman said.
Since spearheading NHS from 2006 to date as vice president and managing broker, the company has seen the most growth and profitability since the creation of the division.
In a time when many companies could no longer sustain their new homes arm, Lane said she feels fortunate the company chose to fight through with as much support as possible for their clients.
"Prudential Georgia Realty kept its New Homes Services division intact during the challenges presented by the recent recession," Lane said. "We did that by remaining loyal to our clients and thinking out of the box. We went back to the basics and did whatever it took to best serve our builder clients."
Lane has about 20 years of experience in new homes sales. She has been included for seven consecutive years in the Atlanta Business Chronicle's "Who's Who in Real Estate" and is actively involved in the HBA through the Sales and Marketing Council, corporate sponsorships, Get Homes Atlanta and award entries to the Professionalism Awards. She is also on the board of directors of the Housing Institute.

text: My brother in law borrowed one of my zero turns a while back when his lawn guy mysteriously vanished??? I never work for friends or relatives but I let him use one of my mowers. Well I guess he got the fever for zero turns because he called me day before yesterday and told me he bought a new hustler. He wanted me to drive it to one of my lawns and try it out etc so he could take it back if anything was wrong. I was surprised when I got there. He bought a Zeon electric mower. 42" cut, $5409 out the door. I took it to a cutomer that I have had forever who is pretty laid back and would not freak if anything went wrong. The lawn was reasonably thick st. augustine mixed with some bermuda. The bermuda was dormant mostly from colder temps in late sept. Pros: Handled really well and cut even better. The deck is pretty basic but worked well on what I was cutting. It has a high blade speed and I believe would work better with extreme high lift blades. The lawn was a little over half acre and I finished as fast as I would with my grasshopper. The most amazing thing is the noise or lack therof. Without the blades engaged, it sounds like an electric golf cart. With the blades engaged I would guess it to be 60% quieter than a commercial gas mower. I ran it without hearing protection no problem. Cons: Used of one of ten charge power level indicators on this lawn. I was guessing I could do 8 or 9 average lawns before needing recharge. This is just a guess, but no way could you run all day without recharge. Of course, you could throw something like this on the back of your truck: http://www.amazon.com/Xantrex-802-1500-XPower-Portable-Powerpack/dp/B00005RHQQ charge as you go and then charge both the power pack and mower in your garage overnight. The biggest con of this mower for commercial use is that, to me, it did not seem real rugged. On flat decent dry grass it way surpassed my expectations. But on rough terrain, sloped lawns, with frequent thunderstorms and sideways rain I just don't see this mower working commercially. It does come with a one year commercial warranty and I very well could be wrong. This is just an opinion based on one lawn. If I were a homeowner with extra cash - I would jump all over this mower. Anyway , here are the pics:

WOCCU's Ito speaks on UN panel discussion on community development
MADISON, Wis. - Lucy Ito, vice president of the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU) joined a distinguished panel of speakers from the Canadian Cooperative Association, the University of Leicester and the World Bank, in a United Nations-hosted discussion on "Society and Cooperatives: Concern for Community" that was held in observance of International Day of Cooperatives. Speaking to an audience of UN delegates, staff and journalists, Ito addressed practical strategies and best practices to alleviate poverty and develop communities through credit unions. Credit unions, said Ito, are reaching out to a diverse membership, including low-income individuals, and this ensures the integration of the poor into the mainstream. WOCCU's development project results show this is a more effective way than the conventional approach to alleviate poverty, which she said eventually leads to alienation. Many micro-credit programs for the poor focus only on providing small loans, but WOCCU said this is only part of the solution and it's not responsive to the savings needs of households and communities. The most important practices organizations, including credit unions can put into place are financial disciplines and prudential standards to protect the life savings of their depositors, said Ito.


text: Greetings! After all of the discussion about my cheap, misguided effort to determine film speed, I checked E-Bay as I do every lunch hour. Lo and behold, there was a Beseler PM2M "analog densitometer" being offered with a minimum bid of $60 and no bidders yet. Loer and beholder, two hours later, it was mine! Now, the question remains: Can it do what I want it to do? Can it tell me if I've got a density of 0.11 over film base and fog? Thanks! Rob, who has a whole bunch of stuff waiting to be put out on E-Bay. Anybody want a Rodenstock Rodagon 135-mm f5.6 lens? New style, immaculate glass, very slight dent in the filter ring.

I started out going to a football field mostly; the measurements already being there was nice. It's usually mowed (even in the off-season). Mine has concrete behind both end zones (a long jump runway and a high jump pad).
Recently, though, I discovered a net batting cage. It is AWESOME!!! 600+ throws in 2 hours; where else can you do that? It's a tunnel shot that doesn't wreck your discs if you miss. Decent footing everywhere ... just everything I ever wanted out of a practice spot. Other than being able to tell where your disc would have gone (how far, how much fade, etc.), but that doesn't matter that much, right?
Yeah I've been thinking it would be cool to get some kind of net to throw into.

I wish I had the yard space for this!

I agree, it's easily to tell when you've had a good throw and when youve had a bad throw. Where did you find the net, and how much was it?

How To Recover Deleted GroupWise User Accounts
(Last modified: 30Jul2003)
This document (10010473) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.
How To Recover Deleted GroupWise User Accounts
Novell GroupWise 5.2
Novell GroupWise 5.5
Novell GroupWise 6.0
Error occurs when launching client
Error: User not found
User database no longer appears in the /OFUSER directory
User cannot log into Groupwise
User was deleted from Groupwise accidentally
One of the following will need to be done to be able to access the deleted users data.
(1) Restore the ENTIRE post office from backup in order to get the NGWGUARD.DB and the WPHOST.DB files from before the deletion. The WPDOMAIN.DB file also needs to be restored.
Note: Restoring the entire post office will affect all users in that post office. All mail and admin changes after the backup will be lost.
(2) If the user database still appears in the <post office>\OFUSER directory you can:
A. Restore the WPDOMAIN.DB file from backup from a date before the user was deleted.
B. Rebuild the WPHOST.DB file. In NWAdmin highlight post office in GroupWise View then select : Tools | GroupWise Utilities | System Maintenance | Rebuild Database | Run.
C. Launch the client against the deleted users' mailbox.
Note: All administrative changes that have been made since the WPDOMAIN.DB backup date will be lost.
(3) Restore the deleted user's entire post office directory to a temporary location and log into the PO via a UNC path. You will be able to do this without any agents loaded only if the PO was set to Direct Access mode or Direct Access and Client/Server modes. If the user had a password you will need it as well.
If the PO was set to Client/Server only:
1. Restore the WPDOMAIN.DB as well as the Post Office
2. Connect to the restored domain structure.In NWADMN Choose TOOLS | GroupWise System Operations | System Connection.
Specify Other Domain and connect to the restored WPDOMAIN.DB.
3. Open the GroupWise View from the TOOLS menu.
4. Change the Post Office access mode to direct only and change the default security level to low.
NOTE: Make sure you do this from the GroupWise view and not the NDS view.
5. Rebuild the PO to the location where your restored the PO. See Step 2B.
NOTE: Make sure you don't rebuild to your live PO directory.
6. Make sure you are connect back to the live domain from GroupWise System Operations.
7. Archive mail and calendar items and export their address books, if desired.
8. The account can then be recreated on the live system. The Archive FID Editor (GWAFE510.EXE on the support.novell.com website) can be used to modify the archive's FID so the new account will be able to access the archive.
This can be a difficult thing if drive space is limited. To be prepared for this type of thing, however, it is advisable to obtain a sufficient sized IDE drive (very inexpensive these days) and stick it on a PC somewhere. Whenever the post office needs to be restored, restore it to this drive. Practice going through the account recreate procedure and get familiar with the archive FID editor utility. After a few practice runs, you will become an expert and these 'emergencies' won't seem so bad.
Note: See also TID 2931246 (Recovery Technique: Deleted GroupWise Account)
GroupWise 5.5 systems can take advantage of a new utility called GWRESTORE.EXE from support.novell.com. The readme.txt contains instructions on how to use the utility. To use this utility you need a backup of the post office.

The Vancouver Canucks snapped the Detroit Red Wings' streak of consecutive home victories in a 4-3 shootout win on Thursday.
The loss was the first in 23 home games for Detroit, and it was a hard fought game throughout. However, one member of the Red Wings wasn't particularly happy with the way the Canucks conducted themselves after the game.
Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard had some choice words for Vancouver after seeing the way Alex Burrows and Co. celebrated following the win.
"I don't even pay attention," Howard said of the Canucks. "They've got a bunch of idiots over there. There are only several good guys on that team, and they know who they are."
Howard is likely referring to Burrows attempting to break his stick over his knee after the winning shootout goal. Of course, this isn't the first time that Burrows and the Canucks have gotten under their opponent's skin. The Bruins can certainly attest to that.
One thing is certain, though. If the Red Wings and Canucks meet up in the playoffs, it is sure to be a supercharged, bitter series.

"THE BIBLICAL ROOTS OF MORMONISM," by Eric Shuster and Charles Sale, Cedar Fort, 258 pages, $17
In their co-authored book "The Biblical Roots of Mormonism," Eric Shuster and Charles Sale defend the modernity and authenticity of the Mormon church by connecting its core doctrines to ancient scriptural references.
This reference book of Latter-day Saint theological comparison is sort of Round 2 for Shuster, who recently published "Catholic Roots, Mormon Harvest," a book detailing his scholarly and spiritual conversion from Catholicism to his baptism in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 20 years ago.
"The Biblical Roots of Mormonism" is a 258-page overview of about 350 Latter-day Saint beliefs referenced in the Old and New Testament and is largely a product of Shuster's two-year personal exploration into the Bible.
Because he didn't want to "rob time" from his family and company while producing his book, Shuster said he did the majority of his verse-by-verse research before work, early each morning starting around 4 a.m.
Shuster and Sale forewent a prolific tone in their writing and settled appropriately for a more matter-of-fact, practical approach to their descriptions of LDS beliefs.
While the book's premise that Mormon doctrine is connected to ancient Christianity and Judaism is as old as the LDS Church itself, it's the book's organization and simplicity that makes it worth owning.
Make no mistake, the book isn't a read-it-cover-to-cover narrative with thorough commentary. Instead, it's a decent topical reference for Mormons, but especially for other Christians interested in the often-misunderstood relationship between Latter-day Saints and the Bible.
Each of the book's chapters is subdivided into two sections: "Biblical teaching" and "Mormon Understanding."
With each topic averaging less than a single page of commentary, the book is no in-depth analysis of any one of its many subjects. But where critics might accuse it of being shallow in its brevity of doctrinal descriptions, others will surely hail the authors' self-discipline for not cramming in deeper-than-necessary theological minutiae to impress scholarly circles. Their aim, to show Mormon biblical roots, hits the bull's-eye.
Its table of contents and 23 fast-paced chapters, jammed with dozens of bible verses, are easy to scan through in a hurry.Comment on this story
Finding a subject, say, temple sealings, is easy: Subheaded under Chapter 19, "Temples," you'll find that subject, in bold text, along with about two dozen other temple-related themes. Most are supported with biblical references; many are standalone descriptions about general LDS beliefs.
The authors, both active Latter-day Saints, were careful about explaining sacred LDS ordinances, but they weren't afraid to address controversial issues, such as homosexuality, capital punishment and abortion.

SM, Ayala agree to settle common rail hub
The SM Group and Ayala Corp. have agreed to talk and resolve their dispute over the location of the common station for Metro Manila's overhead train system in Quezon City, a top executive said over the weekend.
"We're talking, but the government is also helping threshing it out. It's being threshed out now. Our attitude now is whatever is good to our commuters, to our shoppers, then its okay for us," SM Investments Corp. chief finance officer Jose Sio said.
Sio said the SM Group was open to the proposal of the government to build two common stations for Light Rail Transit Line 1, Metro Rail Transit Line 3 and MRT 7 as long as "it's not detrimental" to all parties.
The Transportation Department earlier said it would pursue two common stations, one near SM North Edsa and the other beside Trinoma Mall, owned by Ayala Land.
"If that would be the solution, yes. It should be a win-win solution for the benefit of the public," Sio said, adding the company already settled a conflict with Ayala over Ortigas family's OCLP Holdings.
SM Group and Ayala are also part of the consortium called Team Trident along with Megaworld Corp. bidding for the P123.8-billion Laguna Lakeshore Expressway and Dike Project.
The Transportation Department's new strategy of building two common stations aims to resolve a conflict with the SM Group.
SM Prime earlier secured a Supreme Court stay order, barring the department from transferring the location of the common station to Trinoma Mall.
The Transportation Department decided to relocate the common station to Trinoma from SM North, citing P1 billion worth of savings the government would realize from the transfer.
Under an earlier agreement between SM Prime and state-run Light Rail Transit Authority, the common station should be situated beside SM North Edsa. SM Prime already paid the government P200 million for the naming rights for the proposed station.
Metro Pacific Investments Corp. chairman Manuel Pangilinan earlier said the best solution to resolve the issue on common station was to build it somewhere between SM North Edsa and Trinoma shopping mall.
Pangilinan said the two common stations for MRT Line 3, LRT Line 1 and the proposed MRT Line 7 would be inefficient.
MPIC and Ayala Corp. lead the Light Rail Manila Consortium, which won the contract for the LRT 1 Cavite extension project, which includes designing the common station near Trinoma.

At graduation, Medical Assistants are ready to perform the many administrative and clinical tasks that keep the offices of physicians and other health practitioners running smoothly.
Helping to drive job growth is the increasing number of group practices, clinics, and other healthcare facilities that need a high proportion of support personnel, particularly medical assistants who can handle both administrative and clinical duties. In addition, medical assistants work mostly in primary care, a consistently growing sector of the healthcare industry.

The policies that the Fed embarked on in late 2007 are a sharp departure from the old way of performing monetary policy. In fact, it is difficult to state that the Fed is any longer in the business of traditional monetary policy — understood in the United States as aiming for low inflation and smoothed output volatility. A new breed of monetary policies better referred to as "quasi-fiscal" policies has become the norm.

Its easy to make it look like there is little to no inflation when the government keeps fudging the numbers by not including food and energy and by using arbitrary formulas that change over time.

Mr. Garrett (R-NJ) was fucking awesome. He brought up a lot of valid points and didn't just blow Bernanke like everyone else on the panel was doing.
Why when FSOC (Financial Stability Oversight Committee)meets do they have a private meeting and then a public meeting? If the heads of all of the financial regulatory committee get together and talk about potential financial crisis's shouldn't all of that information be public?
Is it possible to get an accurate impression of the health of the economy? There are so many contrasting indicators that it seems like the system is being heavily manipulated which makes any kind of long term prediction futile. I would like to think that the growth indicators in the market are signs of recovery and the rest is just trying to catch up, but my skepticism keeps leading me to believe that it is just more of the same, where money is being pumped in by the fed and the natural system is still trending down. People are still getting laid off, salaries seem to be trending down, housing prices are still low, interest rates are record low, etc.

Having both of those numbers look as good as possible is important to getting Obama re-elected.

I tuned in late and missed this part. thanks for posting
pretty funny vid imo - just over 4 mins long and Bernanke spoke for maybe 30 seconds? what's the point? is Ron Paul seriously trying to school the chairman of the Fed on economics? hahahaha
The people who loaded up on oil when it hit $148/barrel at the end of 2008 wouldn't be too happy with that purchase today. The people who loaded up on gold yesterday wouldn't be too happy with losing 5% of their value today. That silver coin that Ron Paul waved around may or may not have been a good value play depending on when he bought it and when he intended to tender it for purchasing something else. They are unpredictable and unreliable as a bench mark for inflation, that is why they are not used.Edited By: saxman Feb 29th, 2012 at 11:32 PM

Krugman predicted the housing bubble along with a dozen or more prominent economists, as I'm sure you know. Unfortunately, GWB early on in his stay decided that it was his goal for every American to be able to own a home regardless of their income or wealth standing. The real estate speculators sure took advantage of that situation. Sad but true.Edited By: saxman Feb 29th, 2012 at 11:50 PM
That makes no sense. Inflation is supposed to measure the rise in prices, not the rise in prices when there is no volatility. People who bought oil 20 years ago for $10/barrel would be pretty happy today as would those who bought gold then.

If everyone listened to what people like Marc Faber, Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers have had to say for the last 10 years, they would have all bought caves in Colorado. Sick life.
Krugman in 2002:
The basic point is that the recession of 2001 wasn't a typical postwar slump, brought on when an inflation-fighting Fed raises interest rates and easily ended by a snapback in housing and consumer spending when the Fed brings rates back down again. This was a prewar-style recession, a morning after brought on by irrational exuberance. To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble.
hahaha nice try but i'm familiar with the actual quote and what he was trying to say - that is, according to the dogma of the political right, if we were to be invaded by aliens, we would have no problem at all spending money (stimulating the economy) visa vi another arms race or military intervention. I fully understand that Ron Paul does not support the military approach to stimulating the economy any more than he does in fixing broken windows, but lets at least be fair about it.
btw - shout out to my friend Yomama. Haven't seen you around much. Are you still in MUX since the merger? I lost a few loonies today.
How did the depression of 1920-1921 end so quickly without an increase in spending or monetary expansion?
have to watch it another time Dyz - gotta head out for band tonite

The problem is it/he thinks they can positivity affect the economy in other areas. I have no doubt that Bernake is much smarter and much more knowledgeable about economics than I am, but I very much doubt that he has so much knowledge that he can steer the economy to any positive outcome with so many goals. I have yet to see any argument that an active fed like the one we have now is beneficial. That's not keynsian economics, which I think is unfairly derided, or as far as I know in keeping with any economic theory. It's a shame that the only political voices either want to abolish the fed or to keep it as going.

I see price stability as being tied to the circulation of money, completely separate from inflation. The housing bubble was a result (there were many causes, but this was the result) of spending and saving being out of whack. The fed could could have and should have slowed this down.

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia
went into Sanford Brown College with an intent to get my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. I sat down and talked to a lady named Ms. Bradshaw , She seemed nice and straight forward. I told her that I did not want to attend the school if I had to take out thousands of dollars in loans. I'm a single mom and I was a cashier at Wal-Mart making $500 a paycheck and I didn't want to have a burden of large amounts of money following behind me. She Smiled and informed me she had great news, I was approved for a Grant that would cover the amount needed to get my Bachelor's degree at that school. I told her, I'm ready to attend the school. After attending the school, I thought it was very ... unsatisfactory I should say. The teachers didn't teach anything. After about 3 months maybe, I decided that school wasn't for me. It was a school for students looking for an easy degree. I withdrew from the school. I just received a call from a bill collector in.California saying I owe $9000 in student loans from attending Sanford Brown College... My first thought was "But Ms. Bradshaw said I didn't need to take out any loans.." Can I sue the school for misleading me? If not, what can I do?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Unless you actually signed a written contract or agreement whereby
you knowingly and voluntarily undertook to assume this student
loan obligation, you should have little to be concerned
about (in my opinion).

Design and Implementation of TARF: A Trust-Aware Routing Framework for WSNs
The multi-hop routing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offers little protection against identity deception through replaying routing information. An adversary can exploit this defect to launch various harmful or even devastating attacks against the routing protocols, including sinkhole attacks, wormhole attacks and Sybil attacks. The situation is further aggravated by mobile and harsh network conditions. Traditional cryptographic techniques or efforts at developing trust-aware routing protocols do not effectively address this severe problem. To secure the WSNs against adversaries misdirecting the multi-hop routing, the authors have designed and implemented TARF, a robust trust-aware routing framework for dynamic WSNs.

St. Johns County is getting a double dose of smoke from wildfires as the blaze in Flagler County doubled in size overnight and Georgia wildfires continued burning.
Rain is predicted beginning tonight, and that may help knock down the smoke and improve local fire conditions, said St. Johns Fire Rescue spokesman Jeremy Robshaw on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist declared a state of emergency for all of Florida due to drought conditions and the ongoing danger of wildfires.
The state Division of Forestry reported 15 new wildfires, that burned 1,400 acres, broke out Wednesday evening.
A fire that began Tuesday in the southern part of Flagler County continued to spread, although evacuated residents were allowed to return home Thursday.
"It's up to 2,207 acres (in Flagler County). It's gotten larger, but there are no homes endangered," said Carl Laundrie, a spokesman for Flagler County, Thursday afternoon.
However, the fire was heading in a northwest direction and the sea breeze was picking up causing concerns about the fire and smoke.
The fire is still in southern Flagler County.
"There is a lot of smoke. We're getting reports about it from southern St. Johns County," Laundrie said.
In Georgia, several fires continued including ones in Ware and Charlton counties that have burned about 95,000 acres. The Ware-Charlton county fire is reported to be 75 percent contained. Officials are now saying arson is the cause in several of the fires.
Laundrie said no cause has been determined for Flagler County's fire.
St. Johns County officials are continuing to monitor daily weather conditions and brush fire activity information, but have not issued a burn ban, Robshaw said.
Neighboring Putnam County, which lost more than 1,000 acres to a wildfire recently, issued a burn ban earlier this week as the drought worsened.
The Keetch-Byram Drought Index, calculated and issued by the state Division of Forestry, is at 543 in St. Johns County, 470 in Flagler County and 578 in Putnam County.
The drought index ranges from zero, which is totally saturated, to 800, which is desert-like conditions.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency on Thursday approved fire management assistance grants for the wildfires in Flagler, Lake and Volusia counties.
Crist said the ongoing danger of wildfires and drought conditions threaten the state with a "major disaster."
The St. Johns County Health Department says current air conditions are moderate according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA is forecasting conditions will grow worse and reach the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" level.
"We want to caution sensitive individuals from taking part in prolonged outdoor activities due to the smoke from area wildfires," Health Department Director Dr. Dawn C. Allicock said Thursday.
Smoky conditions can be hazardous for young children, the elderly, individuals with heart conditions or chronic lung disease and those with respiratory ailments, according to the Health Department. People having difficulty breathing are advised to call their doctor.
The Flagler County fire was first reported to Volusia County dispatch at 1:52 p.m. Tuesday when it was several miles north of the Flagler-Volusia county line. It quickly grew from 100 acres to 300 acres by 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and has continued to spread in a northerly direction.
On Wednesday more than 140 homes were evacuated, but hundreds of residents were allowed back in their homes Thursday.
Laun-- along with 15 state Division of Forestry firefighters, nine Forestry dozers and two helicopters -- are being used to fight the Hunter's Ridge fire.
St. Johns County officials are seeking the public's help to prevent similar fires here.
Residents are urged not to burn due to the dry conditions.
St. Johns Fire Rescue was called to a fire off in the Flagler Estates area Wednesday afternoon. That fire was an illegal controlled burn and was extinguished by firefighters.
"St. Johns Fire Resource has seen an increase in fire danger due to the dry conditions present throughout our area. Due to these conditions, fire rescue will continue working with the Division of Forestry to provide for a rapid response to all reported brush fires," Robshaw said in a press release Thursday.
Nearly 160,000 acres have been destroyed by wildfires in the first four months of 2007, according to the Division of Forestry.

Send 22 fourth-graders into the world with a camera and ask them to capture their everyday lives for three weeks.
What you get is a glimpse into the mysterious terrain of childhood as seen through the eyes of a 10-year-old.
"Through A Child's Eyes," is a collaboration between Jessica Antonelli's fourth-grade art class at Early Childhood University and the Galveston Arts Center led by arts intern India Coleman.
"Through this project we have the privilege to enter a child's world, and see what they see," Antonelli said.
The exhibit is a compilation of photographic moments — baby brothers, much-loved pets, cousins fighting, saying grace before dinner, friends hanging out, and siblings watching TV, in short, everyday life.
"Photography has the unique ability to record the moments that fill our everyday lives," Coleman said.
Ivyan Woods snapped pictures of his pet snake Charlie. Scarlett Koch shot a curvy cactus in her family's garden.
Kaylhan Garcia took photos of her father working in the garage, and Damian Pickett shot rows of quarters in neat stacks at the student council fundraiser.
Brianna Levario photographed her mother, Sofia, cooking.
"It was cool, amazing, but how it feels is hard to explain," she said. "Taking pictures is like dancing. You learn how to do it and then you just do it."
Levario also took a photograph of her room when it was dirty and then again when it was clean. Before and after, she said.
The kernel of Coleman's inspiration was a new exhibit at the arts center, "Home Improvement," which features photographers who focus on family life.
When Antonelli and Coleman were discussing potential community arts projects, they thought: why not let local children take photographs of their daily lives and families?
When Linda Dark of DarkeGallery.com offered to fund the project, it became a reality.
Before the cameras arrived, students had short classes in photography. They talked about principles of design and practiced the rule of thirds on their iPads.
"That encouraged the exploration of a whole new art medium tied to technology," Antonelli said.
Cameras in hand, the children relished having control over an aspect of their lives.
"I liked being in charge," Emma Garza said. "I was proud. When you have the camera, you are the main person. You tell people what to do."
Scarlett Koch agreed, but said control had its limits. Her cats would not cooperate because they didn't like the flash.
The project was popular across-the-board with the children and their families.
"Creative expression through the arts is what brings joy and fun to life," Antonelli said.
But it's deeper than that.
"Art-makers are critical thinkers," Antonelli said. "Instead of accepting the world as it comes, celebrating or complaining about it, artists see the world through a creative lens."
For Pickett, it was a meditative experience.
"Taking pictures made me feel calm and settled down," he said.
Practical skills also apply as the 10-year-olds addressed envelopes for invitations to the exhibit and wrote placards to accompany their photographs.
"They are paying special attention to spelling and grammar," Antonelli said. "I think they are motivated because the whole island is watching."
For Ivyan Woods, being the family photographer was awesome.
"I always wanted to be famous," he said.
Selected photographs from each fourth grader will appear in the exhibit "Through a Child's Eyes," from 5 to 7 p.m. at Central Christian Church, 2702 Ave. O1⁄2, on Saturday.

This is my bunny room. I have an xpen and a NIC grid wall all the way around the inside to protect the baseboard. The buns did have access to the loveseat, but sadly Kiwi isn't 100% on his litterbox, so they aren't supposed to get on the loveseat. In these pics Tansy was mad that his boxes were moved and he wanted them back!! So he decided to go get them.
The NIC grid is usually up all around the loveseat, but he pulled it down.
They LOVE the crinkle tunnel.
I don't have current pics of their room, but here are a couple of their "daytime" areas...
Not an everyday thing, but they do enjoy it!
LucyTwoBunz; That is amazing! What are the steps made out of? such a cute idea! I have space I should totally do something like that. I want to get some of those big tubes...
cactuspancake: The tubes (beige w/maroon trim) we got at WalMart for $8 or so & the hard cardboard ones for even less at Home Depot (I think - Ken got them). Boxes from Costco work great; especially the vegetable ones 'cause they have double thicknesses in some places so they are pretty sturdy. Just make sure you have a sharp exacto knife to cut the holes out! The stairs are for dogs & the cover is removable so can be washed. The frame is hardened plastic but I think they are rated to 40 pounds or so. I can't remember the price on those. Good luck...my bunz love it!
I'm building my bunny condo! I just finished the third floor last night. I will take some more specific pics of it next time I work on it. Franz has been in the bunny room for a few days now! Also I have the bed I got off of the binkybunny site and he doesn't nibble or potty on it so it's great! He looks cozy in it. Here are some pics of the bunny room. The only thing for humans is this big metal storage cart that bunny can't get in and also a folded uncured wooden drying rack I don't care if he chews on lol. I put paper on one end of the room cause he's still being potty trained
You can see part of the condo when I first started it:
Video of Franz doing a double binky in his bunny room!:
Video of Franz playing with me in the room:
OK! I "finished" my bunny room tonight with the addition of my NIC condo!
and the running space + closet where I keep bulk pellets and hay -.-
Haha! Catalina, I love how the dog is looking in like he is jealous of the bunnies! Your room looks great. They all do really, I thought Huckleberry was spoiled, I'm going to have to step it up hahaha.
These are amazing! I have a spare room that's too small to be used as a room and I'm currently using it as a storage room for suitcases and old books etc. I think it'd make a great bunny room for me to leave her in when I go back to work. I'm gonna clean it out next week and take pictures and see what you guys think?
Ah. No. It doesn't actually. It's like a giant walk in wardrobe is the best way to describe it. I wouldn't be worried about the heat though, it never gets over 20c here. Would that be a problem?
I'll take pictures when I've cleaned it out tomorrow and show you!

Calgary (4-14) was last in the West division and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
Saskatchewan (9-9) came within a field goal of the Grey Cup but ended up losing in the West Final for the second consecutive season.
CALGARY -- DL Rahim Abdullah (Edmonton); QB Henry Burris (Sask.); DL Randy Chevrier (NFL); WR Jeremaine Copeland (Montreal); QB Jason Gesser (NFL); QB Darnell Kennedy (Ottawa); DB Anthony Malbrough (Ottawa); WR Ken-Yon Rambo (NFL).
SASKATCHEWAN -- QB Marcus Crandell (Calgary), OL Tango McCauley (B.C.), WR Ibrahim Tounkara (Hamilton), OL Antonio Hall (NFL), OL Doug Kaufusi (NFL).
CALGARY -- WR Albert Connell (released); WR Wane McGarity (released); RB Randy Bowles (released); QB Khari Jones (released); DL Antwone Young (failed physical); DB Omar Evans (traded to Winnipeg).
SASKATCHEWAN -- QB Henry Burris (Calgary), DB Lawrence Deck (Calgary), DL Phil Gibson (Montreal), OT Charles Thomas (NFL).
CALGARY -- Free-agent signing Henry Burris will get plenty of time to work with the first-team offence to make sure he's comfortable.
Unless Burris appears to be in late-season form, expect the pivot to play most of the opening half.
Backup hopefuls Darnell Kennedy and Jason Gesser will split the time after Burris leaves and there will be plenty of receivers fighting for passes.
The starting linebackers and defensive lineman will see limited action, so expect to see a limited amount of blitzing.
SASKATCHEWAN -- After breaking his leg in the season-opener, QB Nealon Greene missed all of last season.
This is his first game action since that painful injury on the SkyDome turf and it will be interesting to see if he's, in fact, 100%.
The key to Greene's game is his mobility and time will tell if he's going to be the running threat he once was.
When Greene leaves, former Stampeder Marcus Crandell will get the ball.
Crandell could see a quarter or more of time with the offence.
Of the few 'Riders veterans who will make the trip, few will see more than a quarter of action.
Players such as LB Reggie Hunt, DL Daved Benefield, DL Scott Schultz and receivers Travis Moore and Matt Dominguez did not make the trip from Regina.
OFFENCE -- The biggest question mark revolves around the receiving corps.
The top two targets are unquestionably Jeremaine Copeland and Nik Lewis but after that, the import jobs are wide open. Ken-Yon Rambo, who's looked great in camp, appears to be the front-runner for a starting job but will need to continue his great play in the game. Someone from the group of MarTay Jenkins, Kenyatta Morgan, Sulecio Sanford and James Terry will need a strong performance to solidify a roster spot.
DEFENCE -- The secondary will be the area co-ordinator Denny Creehan most keeps an eye on. The halfback positions are set with Joey Boese and Anthony Malbrough, while two of Rashard Anderson, Nate Terry, Ben Kelly and Jermaine Chatman will be the corners. Canadian Pascal Masson and import Don McGee are the prospective safeties. There isn't much available for starting spots in the front seven but Creehan is interested in seeing what the new recruits can do in live game action.

TOPSFIELD (CBS) – They're appalling allegations – elderly patients hurt and verbally abused in a place that's supposed to provide quality care.
The ITeam has discovered CNAs, certified nursing assistants, at Masconomet Health Care in Topsfield have been accused of videotaping and mocking elderly clients with dementia, texting photos of a partially naked senior from another facility and providing substandard care.
WBZ-TV's Kathy Curran reports
Lauren Noonan says, "I just can't believe anyone entrusted with care would do that. It appalled me, I was sick to my stomach."
Lauren Noonan's stomach turned because her 90-year-old aunt is a Masconomet client. According to state documents obtained by the Iteam several residents were sexually harassed and taunted, some until they were reduced to tears. Many of the allegations are so disgusting we can't print them or put them on television. Four CNA's were allegedly involved.
One woman was told her family didn't love her and that's why she was going to die in this nursing home. A man was teased that he smelled because of a medical condition and a CNA danced around another elderly man and made him hit her in the buttocks while she called him a sexy dog. The Department of Public Health cited Masconoment for several violations. Elizabeth Daake from the Department of Public Health says, "We all want safe care, effective care and appropriate care but it's also dignity, quality of life making sure they're in a healthy environment."
Attorney David Hoey specializes in elder abuse and neglect. He's troubled by the treatment of residents at Masconomet and says improper care is to blame for a life-threatening leg injury to Lauren Noonan's aunt. Hoey says the type of fracture is usually caused from neglect. Lauren Noonan who's a nurse says, "It's discouraging, being a nurse myself you try to give quality care and that's what I would expect from other nurses."
The ITeam showed up at Masconomet searching for answers after repeated phone calls to administrator Scott Gloor weren't returned. Gloor said he had no comment and told us to get off the property.
CNA Jen Moran was fired during the harassment investigation along with Erin Driscoll and Val Belanger.
Families hope exposing what happened will prevent the elderly from being harmed ever again.
Masconomet's lawyer tells us they're dedicated to safe, quality care and as soon as they became aware of what was going on they investigated, terminated the nursing assistants involved and eventually suspended the administrator and director of nursing. She also said several steps have been put in place to protect clients. The nursing home was fined about sixty-thousand dollars and the case has been referred to the Attorney General's Office.
The state says the facility is back in compliance now. The nursing assistants involved are appealing the findings against them.
