Accumulates Wealth Bank
by Sy Schreckinger – ANTIQUE TOY WORLD Magazine – July, 2014
AN ABUNDANCE OF images reflecting savings, thrift and economy provided
late nine-teenth and early twentieth century manufacturers of toy penny
banks with a rich source of ideas. Those same individuals and companies,
both in the United States and abroad, produced examples depicting
miniature safes, cash registers, bank buildings, bank tellers, etc....
A seemingly less obvious representation of savings of savings and
economy, but nonetheless symbolic, was the form of a beehive, The
likeness of this unusual object was incorporated into a number of toy
penny bank designs. Notables included "Beehive On Base" (Figure 1),
"Bank For Savings" (Figure 2), "Beehive Dime Registering Bank" (Figure
3), "Beehive With Honey Bear" (Figure 4)1, and our subject,
Beehive- "Economy Accumulates Wealth Bank- (Figure 5).
Imagery portraying the beehive can be found in scripture dating
back to early Egyptian and Roman times. Each culture revered the bee and
its hive as representations of industry and the gathering and storage
of wealth (i.e. pollen and honey). The symbolism, history and knowledge
relating to the industrious bee was not overlooked by a Mr. Arthur
Colton of Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Colton desigmed a toy penny bank in the
form of a beehive, and for which he was granted Patent Number 469,773 on
March 1, 1892 (Figure 6).
Interestingly, Arthur Colton's patent text page describes not only
operation of the bank but his vision of marketing and utilization. The
copy reads as follows "My invention relates to a toy savings bank
intended for the deposition of coins pending the collection thereof by
the collector of a Savings-Bank and the entry of the same on the
deposit-book of such Savings-Bank to the credit of the respective
In addition a long necked socket-wrench (Figure 7) was supplied to
the Savings-Bank management in order to open each bank for deposit
removal. Mr. Colton further states in the patent: "This socket-wrench is
intended to be retained by the collector and to fit all the boxes which
he may have in charge".
"Beehive Bank" contains four separate internal card-board
compartments designed to hold each depositor's accumulated coins. Mr.
Colton's patent text describes the purpose of separate compartments:
"'These compartments are intended for the use of different members of a
family, each depositor to he provided with a book in which the collector
will credit the account taken from the corresponding compartment at each
With concise patent information such as the aforementioned, it is
easily understood why every known Beehive-"Economy Accumulates Wealth
Bank" exhibits the name of
an actual Savings and Loan Institution inscribed upon its facade. The
following represents a sampling of these companies: "Branch Of Peoples
Savings & Loan Association",
"Property of Lewis Bank Wellsville, NY", "Property Of The Terra Alta
Bank Terra Alta W. Va.", "Property Of the State Bank Tonawanda, N.Y.",
"Branch Of' 3 Rivers National Bank", etc....
To date, neither trade catalogs nor correspondence has been located
to indicate the producer of "Beehive Bank". Conjecture is that it was,
possibly, manufactured by a firm in the Detroit area, namely The Henry
C. Hart Mfg. Company.
Operation of Beehive-"Economy Accumulates Wealth" is simplistic and
efficient. Initially the dome, utilizing the raised slot as a guide, is
rotated to the desired numbered comer of the base (either 1, 2, 3, or
4), as seen in Figure 8. Underneath the dome there are four large coin
slots corresponding to the main coin deposit slot. When both slots line
up, a coin of any denomination may be inserted through and into one of
the four internal cardboard compartments. Deposits are recovered by
inserting the long socket-wrench (Figure 7) through the hole in the
bank's facade and unfastening an I; interior side wall retaining nut.
There are several casting and surface finish variations of "Beehive
Bank". It was produced with either a bright nickel or copper-flashed
electroplate. The casting variant relates to the base of the bank. It
can have a solid flanged edge, as seen in the patent drawings (Figure
6), or rest upon four decorative feet (refer to Figure 5). An additional
variation (Figure 9) exhibits an ornamental, round, movable, flat top
plate replacing the dome. This example operates in the identical manner
as its counterpart.
The dimensions of high domed "Beehive Bank", with no exception,
are: Width and Depth: 6-7/8 inches. Height: 6-7/8 inches.
Beehive-"Economy Accumulates Wealth Bank" is an interesting and
very impressive addition to a mechanical bank collection.
Acknowledgments: The superb Beehive-"Economy Accumulates Wealth
Bank" seen in Figure 5 is in the Kidd Thy Museum Collection, Frank and
Joyce Kidd proprietors.
My thanks to Bob and Shirley Peirce for supplying the photograph of
the variation "Beehive Bank" seen in Figure 9.

Specialised economic space which include data revolves and logistics facilities is going to still look at healthy require this year, whilst the rest of the economic space community suffers from going down rents and rising vacancies amid the weak processing sector.
Space leases for manufacturing facility and facility space lost control for the final straight three months in Q1 2016, creating 1 . six per cent and 2 . 3 or more per cent year-on-year declines correspondingly.
Leasing sound level for manufacturing facility and facility space likewise extended a downward direction in Q1.
Just S$9. 6 , 000, 000 in letting transactions were definitely done in Q1, 12. half a dozen per cent below what the before quarter, and 20. 7 per cent not more than a year earlier.
Occupiers performed off business expansion plans, though relocations dwindled as obtaining budget authorizations and verification or certification to approve and activate for the funding expenditure needed remained one of many major stumbling blocks.
Supplied the thinner manufacturing natural environment, industrialists' concentrate has mainly been in optimising functions and expense reduction.
A major international property consultancy is rather planning on occupier activity to be motivated by the move towards better automation and higher technical industries, which may have begun to get some traction force – although at your measured rate.
It known that more providers are securing more homework and production (R&D) to tap regarding future can't, such as by just setting up of websites of Elements innovation revolves and selecting ways to greater utilise robotics in their steps.
One of the can't that encounters healthy require driving construction activity is certainly data revolves.
A study previously had earlier stated that the supply of knowledge centres for Singapore might be ramped " up " by forty seven per cent, or simply 115. 7 megawatt all over seven different facilities, in conclusion of this calendar year.
A marketing consultancy noted the fact that LinkedIn's newly released announcement that it really is setting up a info centre occupying 23, five-hundred square feet (sq ft) for Jurong, it's first info centre established outside the YOU AND ME, is a good indicator in the outlook intended for data companies.
At the same time, logistics players have been trying to separate themselves simply by upgrading their very own capabilities to take care of more specific cargo including pharmaceuticals and chemicals, the lady said.
This kind of growing dependence on more particular requirements including cold string logistics and emergence of e-commerce is definitely the main progress sectors of industrial and logistics space.
Renting for warehouses are still around the downtrend, using a strong supply pipeline developing – several. 43 mil sq foot this year, and 5. seventy five million sq ft subsequent – yet landlords capable of maintain strong occupancies and improve their detailed efficiency are going to be primed for taking advantage as soon as the market becomes.
Both stand in contrast for the languishing standard industrial space category.
The oil and marine area, in particular, have been hard-hit simply by persistent low oil rates. Some of these industry players have got begun to scale down staff members, while others have got chosen to merge their businesses in less costly locations.
It has had bad spillover effects, such as lesser demand for tailor-made parts and components on the precision technological innovation cluster.
To the investment area, there have been a tad bit more vacant closet sales throughout the last few groups as recent occupiers whether relocated internationally or consolidated operations available as one location.
Teijin, Tate in addition to Lyle and KTL Intercontinental are some experiences which have decided to shut down surgical treatments in Singapore over the past time, with the last option choosing to relocate to Johor.
This unique number will rise when more clients who find it difficult to comply with the 70-30 sublet rule go out on their own of their comforts. This appealing requires end-user lessees and anchor prospects to use 70 percent of the pre-taxed floor vicinity, up right from 50 percent previously.
This could lead to a rise in saleable benefits. However , shoppers will be lacking given the challenging procurment market and government's anti-speculative measures.
For Q1, the preliminary tally of industrial expense sales was standing at about S$131. several million, exhibiting an 82. 4 % quarter-on-quarter or maybe 75. several per cent year-on-year decline.
JTC is due to discharge official professional price and rental data for Q1 on 04 28.

This story has been changed from its original version
After two months, the former Prairie Dunes food and beverage manager and managing partner of former The Raz restaurant is still missing.
Adam Sabri, current co-owner of Time Out Sports Bar and Grill in McPherson, went missing Feb. 9. According to Wichita Police Det. Rick Craig, 54-year-old Sabri�s ATM card last placed him in Mulvane, at the Kansas Prairie Star Casino. Video footage shows him entering and leaving the building alone. After that, Craig says no evidence has been found, nor has anyone called in with information on where Sabri, a Wichita resident, could be.
�I don�t know if he just left and went away to get away from everything. I have no clue. They can�t even locate his vehicle, which is kind of strange,� he said.
�If he�s nearby, we wish he would just call his family.�
Many have speculated that his disappearance was connected to financial problems, or that Sabri was planning to leave his family. Lamese Sabri, Adam Sabri�s daughter, said her family was aware of the rumors, which she called �ridiculous." She said her father left no indication that he planned to leave, as his clothes, belongings and money are all in place. She also said that there "was no way" her father would leave the family, as their parents would be celebrating their 29th anniversary this year, her brother is one year away from graduating from college and she just had her first child�their first grandchild.
She said her mother has had her world turned upside down, and couldn't believe people are taking to gossip rather than focusing on helping the family.
"Not only is she (her mother) having to deal with emotional, and unfortunately now serious financial issues, but also rumors of people tainting his image rather than giving concern and support for the man they once called their friend," she said in an email.
"For those that knew him, they know he would not just disappear. It is so unfortunate that people have taken to rumors rather than focusing on the facts... that my dad is missing."
Scott Nelson, general manager of Prairie Dunes Country Club, said a handful of staff knew Sabri well when he served as director of food and beverage and club house manager from 2003 to 2010. Nelson said all staff were concerned for the family and hopeful for his reappearance.
"There�s a million rumors about it, but we don�t want to talk about it to spread anything else," Nelson said.
"It�s a mystery."
Sabri was last seen at approximately 10 a.m. Feb. 9 and was known to be driving a 2008 white Saturn Aura with Kansas tag either 785 AIZ or 786 AIZ. He is described as 5-foot-5 and weighs approximately 140 pounds with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
Those with information are asked to call the Wichita Police Department at (316) 268-4111 or the McPherson Police Department at (620)245-1200.

Brand Build Guide by FanaticalFenrir
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue

Brand Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Brand is a very powerful champion who can punish an entire team if they allowed him to get ahead. Massive AoE, single target nuke, and an ultimate that can lay waste to an entire team, each of which gain an added effect, Brand has a combo for every situation. This build displays how I play Brand, and I am not a 2300+ elo player, but I find this build to be very effective. Keep in mind that this is also my first guide, so bear with me, and feel free to help me improve this build with your comments.
Early Game
Now the first thing people will tell me is "If you aren't rushing
Rabadon's Deathcap you're doing it wrong." Yes, your damage will greatly increase, but its all nothing if you're melting in every battle because you have no survivability. Also, the moment you're our of mana you're dead useless.
Rod of Ages helps by providing a great deal of health, mana, and even ability power, greatly boosting your overall effectiveness. In order to become even more durable, and to help your team catch that Teemo with 496 movement speed,
Rylai's Crystal Scepter is my second item of choice. It provides more health, more ability power, and adds a powerful slow that helps you land your abilities and prevents enemies from escaping your team's grasp.
RoA and Rylai's are both very expensive items, and with Philosopher's StonePhilosopher's stone end up costing 6940 gold total. The key is to farm like crazy, and the gold/5 from Philo Stone will help. The most ideal place to do this is in mid of course. I try not to harass early, instead focusing on last hitting with Brand's awesome attack animation. I only cast an occasional spell to show the opposing mid that I'm not too passive. I start laying down heavy harass at level 4, with my second point in Pillar of Flame. However, your main focus should always be last hitting, unless you're sure you can secure the kill. The best way to manage both is to use Pillar of Flame on the enemy range minions when the enemy champ draws close. They'll have to back off for the moment, and whether they dodged it or not, they tend to return to their position right next to the minions. At this point use Conflagration to deal damage to enemy minions and the enemy champ. This is all the harass you need, the point in Sear is mainly for defensive purposes, stunning champs coming at you. Not using Sear for harassment has saved my life many times, preserving mana and always having it up just in case. Plus why use a stun for harassment, who do you think you are, Taric? Also, don't use Flash offensively, as Brand you should never need to.
With optimal farming, you can usually get that Rod of Ages somewhere between the 11 and 13 minute mark, and by the time you begin to enter the mid game you usually have gotten close to finishing your Rylai's.
Now if you find yourself in a duo lane as Brand there is only one solution, FARM CHAMPIONS.
Post-Laning Phase
Congratulations, if you've made it to mid game you don't have utter failure of teammates who lose their lane at the 7 minute mark. Now this is where Brand shines.
With Rylai's and Rod of Ages, you're very tanky while also dealing a good deal of damage, and all of it is slowing the enemy! Now, because each of Brand's abilities have side effects when hitting a target inflicted with his passive, Blaze, the order of which you cast your spells lead to greatly different effects.
-> -> ->
My personal favorite and most used combo. This combo is mainly used to set up a very powerful Pyroclasm, which means the target must be near minions or his teammates for maximum effect. Pillar of Flame, being an AoE and having the highest damage of his other two spells, sets the target ablaze. The next spell, Sear, is crucial because it stuns the target, preventing them from escaping Pyroclasm's bounces through their own means. Conflagration sets all nearby targets ablaze, so Pyroclasm's added effect allows for all the bounces to occur in a short time. If you're fast, you might be able to cast Pyroclasm before Conflagration, because of the initial slow missile speed, you might be able to get Conflagration off before the first bounce.
-> -> ->
-> -> ->
The second combo has two variations and is mainly meant for quick damage. It has two variations, the only difference between the two is whether Sear and Conflagration are used first or third. Pillar of Flame is the second spell, for when the target is ablaze, it deals a massive 25% more damage. Sear can be used third in order to allow your team to dive in on the stunned target, or Conflagration used third in order to set nearby targets ablaze for a devastating Pyroclasm.
While Brand is very powerful, don't get overzealous. Yes, you have a stun and great burst, but you aren't invincible. Stay of of melee range of enemy champs, because although you do have a lot of health, that's there to save you so you can survive long enough to run away, not 1v1 Xin Zhao. The health is supposed to be very intimidating, 3k health on a caster will more often than not prevent the enemy team from focusing your massive health pool first. Stick with your team, that is where you are most powerful and can put that stun to good use.
Rounding off the Build
Now more often than not, the enemy team will realize that you may have a lot of health, but you're still squishy. That is why you build resistances. The idea of "I must build more damage so I can outburst them before they get to me" is not ideal, for if 5 champions are going for you you're going to drop really quickly. However, if you have resistance to where the majority of their damage is coming from, you can survive just that much longer to get off your full combo before you die, so you still leave a devastating effect on the battle. However, if you aren't getting focused, you should still at least build a Banshee's Veil to block the occasional CC that may be coming your way.
I know this is a very simple guide, but I hope it is effective in helping you become a better Brand. This is my first guide, so feel free to leave advice for how I can improve on it.

I saw it in my neighbor's garden and had to paint it. My neighbor is a master gardener so there is always inspiration for paintings there. I did a bunch of paintings before this one, but when I finished this, I knew I took a leap ahead. My painting just got better.

A petition to save Portland's coastguard helicopter has been handed in to parliament.
The paper has gained over 100 thousand signatures, calling on the Department of Transport to re-think their decision to close the base in 2017.
Under modernisation plans, new high speed emergency rescue helicopters will come from Fareham instead.
Campaigners say the move will put "people's lives at risk."

What are the benefits of getting involved?
If you want to learn more about the environment, improve the appearance of your local area, get to know neighbours better, improve your health or just want to get involved in gardening, horticulture or improving opportunities for wildlife then getting involved is for you.
What next?
Boroughs are well practiced in doing their bit, but many community members and groups do not know where to start if they want to make a difference within their community. You may want to work with a few neighbours to improve the appearance of your street, or maybe create a community space for growing vegetables, flowers or for wildlife. You could even work on a bigger project with a large number of volunteers. This toolkit provides you with some ideas of how to get started.
What could you do as an individual………
Put up a hanging basket
Making a difference in your street or on your estate can be very simple. A hanging basket outside your front door can be a great way of not only making the entrance to your property more welcoming but also enhancing the overall look of the street or estate. When two or more residents have this same idea, the results can be very effective.
Keep your front garden tidy
A sense of pride can be achieved when you walk down the road and see several well maintained gardens that have colour throughout the year. If you have limited space you could install window boxes or ground planters to add a splash of colour during the summer. Also think of different types of plants you could use herbs, vegetables, bulbs and perennials that flower or produce what you need at different times of the year.
Clean Sweep
Many residents and community groups not only keep their gardens tidy; they also help to maintain an area in front of their property. If each resident made an effort to pick up any litter directly around their property, this would make a huge difference. Alternatively you and possibly other volunteers could litter pick your street or area when necessary. If you wish to do this contact your local authority cleansing department who will often be happy to provide bags, litter pickers and tabards and remove the bags afterwards.
Maintain a local flower display
Is there a planter or flower bed close to home? Would you like to help look after this display? If you do, this is a great way to ensure the planters and beds in your area look at their best at all times of the year. (You will need to contact the council for permission to do this.)
Spread the word
Working together with your neighbours to do just one of the small steps suggested above can be a great start to making your neighbourhood cleaner, greener and a brighter place to live and if you register for the Its Your Neighbourhood Award Scheme (free to enter) you will receive a Royal Horticultural Society Certificate to show for your efforts.
What you could do as a community…………..
Identify an area that needs improving
Nobody knows a neighbourhood better than the people who live there. If there is an area that you or your neighbours want to improve, identify what needs to be done and how you are going to do it. You may need to find out who owns the site before you start work. Your local authority or your community liaison officer can usually help with this.
Organise a clean-up
Litter picks and clean-ups bring people together and make a big difference very quickly. Usually your local council will help with bags, litter pickers, gloves and high visibility vests and will take away the rubbish you have collected. You can usually get help with risk assessments and other advice about insurance etc.
Site clearance & adoption
If you have organised a clean-up and want to do more you might consider weeding flower and shrubs beds or even pruning the shrubs and Roses ( you will need prior approval before you start form the landowner or council) or working with your local council to reduce fly tipping and other anti-social behaviour. You could even plant some spring flowering plants to brighten up the area.
Deciding as a group how the area could be used or look
If you have cleared an area, you may decide to continue with improvements This could be to make the area more attractive or maybe or use it for a more practical purpose such as a community garden, adding benches and planters can make a huge difference and make an area more welcoming and less attractive for those wishing to indulge in anti-social activities.
Just doing it!
Once you have decided on what to do it's now time to make a start. Organise a work/volunteer day and get people involved. Ask volunteers to bring along tools or contribute some refreshments to make a social occasion.
Moving on
Finally you will need to decide how you're hard work is to be maintained, perhaps get people to agree to a few work days perhaps one a month to collect litter, weed beds and keep the area tidy. If you have planted summer flowering plants or planted hanging baskets or planters you will need to organise a watering rota or find a volunteer to keep the plant going.
You are not alone, London in Bloom is happy to provide an initial visit to get you going and provide advice about plants etc. You can always ask a question by contacting us via the bottom of the page.

An article at Slate is lauding censorship of student speech because "students today are more like children than adults and need protection."
Eric Posner, writing on the new climate of free speech at universities being regulated by so-called speech codes to prohibit offensive speech targeted at racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities, says "Most liberals celebrate these developments, yet with a certain uneasiness. Few of them want to apply these protections to society at large." Yet, the truth is that most liberals do support the same limits of speech to society as a whole. One need only look to the leftwing support for hate speech laws or the Ban Bossy campaign made famous by the likes of Michelle Obama to see the truth.
Posner continues, "the justification for these policies may lie hidden in plain sight: that students are children. Not in terms of age, but in terms of maturity. Even in college, they must be protected like children while being prepared to be adults."
This is laughable; college age students are old enough to vote and enlist in the military, old enough to consent to any sexual activity, and get married. To believe that those coming to college are uneducated, and most be protected, is to ignore every other standard our society has towards adulthood. The double standard is stunning, as liberals continually push for lower drinking ages and lower ages of sexual consent, and easier access to birth control for minors. Liberals have no problem with children having sex or getting drunk, but have a serious issue with young adults espousing opinions that differ from theirs.
Posner cites an incident at Marquette University which libertarians and conservatives are up in arms over, as being blown out of proportion. While studying the philosophy of John Rawls, one student opined that he believed gay marriage was supported by Rawlsian philosophy. After class, another student expressed that he disagreed and was subsequently told that his opinion was not welcome in class because it could be offensive to some students. The professor asked if the student knew if any of his classmates were gay, and the student did not. Why should this matter? Did the professor ask if any the students were Christian, or if they held particular religious beliefs about marriage? Of course not. In the liberal world of academia, you have no right to be offended unless you're leftwing.
Posner justifies the professor's actions, as being protective of gay students. It never crosses Posner's mind that being pro-gay marriage could offend students and that they have every right to their religious beliefs. The topic was not whether being gay is right or wrong, it's a matter of law and how one views the institution of marriage. Colleges should welcome free and open debate on these matters. But not according to Ponser, who declares college debate is harmful.
"There is a popular, romantic notion that students receive their university education through free and open debate about the issues of the day. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Students who enter college know hardly anything at all—that's why they need an education. Classroom teachers know students won't learn anything if they blab on about their opinions. Teachers are dictators who carefully control what students say to one another," Posner's diatribe reads.
Posner claims, once again, that students are stupid and "hardly no anything at all," so they need to have their speech censored by the professor. He calls teachers dictators, and later goes on to say that good professors "carefully manipulate their students."
This is too telling, as liberalism too often resorts to totalitarianism for the supposed good of the people. Classrooms cannot be environments conducive to open discussion, according to Ponser they need to be controlled and students manipulated into echoing leftwing positions.
Posner goes on to ridiculously state that these speech restrictions are simply colleges responding to the market, because the majority of students support such actions, therefore libertarians and conservatives should support them. Of course, these are the same students Posner repeatedly tells us are too immature and unknowledgeable to have viable opinions. Posner also fails to realize that libertarians and conservatives support free market exchange only when it doesn't violate the rights of others. Voting to take rights away from minority groups is not a function of the free market. There is a term for the majority taking rights away from a minority for their own good. That term is fascism, and Posner does a great job advocating for it.

Both my SO and I have been Chowhounders for only a few months and have not made that many posts because, frankly, there are just not that many places in the South Bay (the area south of LAX & west of the 405/110) that qualify as Chowhound establishments, especially for ice cream. So my discovery today of Delicieuse in N. Redondo Beach was quite welcome. Others have posted here about it in detail, one in particular about a year ago if you want to search. However, I first read about it on another post from yesterday that I think has since been removed.
I'll skip the description of the atmosphere of the place, detailed in the other post (unique, like someone's living room) and go straight to the ice cream. While the ice cream is described as french, it reminded me of gelato. We sampled quite a few flavors as one of the family members who served us is very generous. Although all were tasty (strawberry, maple, caramel w/salt) we ended up buying chocolate millionaire (rich, dark chocolate without being biiter), a mixed berry sorbet (absolutely fresh fruit), hazelnut (very nice) and coconut, a new flavor made with goat's milk and coconut. The coconut was the standout flavor of which the owner was very proud. This flavor was full, smooth and fragrant w/out being overly sweet. This flavor alone makes it a Chowhound destination.
Although Delicieuse is located on a major street (Artesia Blvd), it is not that easy to find. And it is only open for limited hours Friday through Sunday. Still, if you find yourself in that neighborhood when they are open, it is so worth the effort. Check their website at http://www.icedreamonline.com/ for the exact hours. According to the owner, the days of the week and hours may expand this summer. There is one caveat that I must add; I found the ice cream pricey at about $2.95 per scoop. For this reason I still find Scoops near LACC my favorite for value, taste and inventiveness (plus the owner seems to be on a mystical quest for the ultimate flavor).

Gardening Blog: Rose Terms
by, 02-18-2016 at 03:05 PM (272 Views)
In discussing Rose terms, I will try to be generic as possible. Specific information for your region, or even local area can be found at your garden centre or local rose society or horticultural club. I will also discuss the most common roses that you are likely to encounter in your area. It cant be said too often, finding a local rose nursery would be the best of all possible worlds. There you will get specific information, guidance in what to purchase and growing tips gleaned from growing your roses in local conditions.
Height is usually to the top of the plant, or the flower canes in Hybrid Ts. The catalog will say something like grows to 4. Its presumed that the foot print will have a diameter of approximately two feet around unless its specifically pointed out in the description to be larger.
Single Flowers indicate a single layer of petals around a central bolus. Since Roses and Apples are of the same family, saying a single rose resembles an apple blossom on a grand scale is not misleading. Of course the rose petals come in all colours. Single roses are most likely to be older species, fragrant and also the type most likely to make rose hips for tea, jelly and to contain a great deal of vitamin C. Rose growers pass through stages in their career; at the beginning they seem to love the extravagance and riotous colour of extremely double flowers, but age brings restraint and most people I know still growing roses now honour the simplicity, quiet perfection of colour and fragrance of single roses, in the greater part of their rose beds.
Double Flowers start with two overlapping layers of petals and can continue up to extremely double which indicates a flower that bears more in common with a Kleenex pompom than a rose. The centre is obscured, the petals fight for position and except for the first day of bloom, look progressively dirtier and more untidy, until they fall in a heap on the ground. I would suggest that you start with a few singles, double and extremely double plants and see what you like before investing in any more plants.
Fragrance is often indicated by 'f' for slightly fragrant, 'ff' for fragrant and 'fff' for extremely fragrant. Now this is an interesting situation, fragrance; older roses, (Damask, Rugosa) are pretty much guaranteed to be fragrant, Hybrid Ts can fall in all three categories, but flower shop Ts' which can be identified as a single long stem with a single flower on top almost never are. To create the long stem and single blossom seems to have eliminated the gene responsible for fragrance in most specimens. In fact florists have Rose fragrance in spray tins to make up for this deficiency. Most hybrid Ts' bloom in two stages: first come the canes with multiple flowers, then secondary blooms become partly isolated on single canes until the end of the season brings only single flowers on single stems. Id put the fragrance, colour and freshness of garden picked flowers up against a florists single stems from Peru any day. The choice is up to you.
Flowering as in frequency and in this aspect theres truly a rose for every need. Single roses tend to bloom once a season, with secondary blushes of blooms later on, based on light, moisture and the nutrient content of the soil. Some dont bloom again regardless of conditions, some set new flowers until the frost. It is crucial that you quiz the staff where you buy your roses as to exactly the flowering habit and if possible see them in the growers' gardens. Hybrid Ts' in addition to their suitability for cut flowers bloom almost continuously.
Disease resistance: There have always been some roses that are able to protect themselves against some common rose diseases like black spot, mildew and rust, but advances have been made in this area as well. Again, ask for guidance and read the catalog carefully. Depending on your available time having a bed of resistant plants could be a Godsend.

The Conway School operates primarily out of its campus in Easthampton, MA. The school occupies a renovated mill building situated along the Manhan Rail Trail and overlooking Lower Mill Pond. A 15-minute walk connects the school with shops and restaurants in downtown Easthampton.
A large studio space in the mill building accommodates student desks, a classroom, supply/printer room, and two administrative offices. A conference room adjacent to the classroom provides additional meeting space. Faculty offices are located on the same floor, along with a full kitchen with a view of the Mt. Tom range.
The school's library, located in the classroom, is a collection of over 3,000 volumes, broadly focused on land conservation, ecological restoration, landscape history, urban planning, graphic and technical skills, natural sciences, and regenerative design; in addition, the school subscribes to more than fifty professional journals.
The School also has a rural, wooded campus occupying 35 acres a half-mile east of the village of Conway. At the rural campus, trails traverse the native woodlands, around bedrock outcrops and vernal pools.
The single passive solar building, purchased and renovated by the Conway School in 2002–2003, is heated by a combination of wood and supplemental oil burner.
Two large sunny studio spaces, reception area, classroom with stunning east view, library, and study lounge with a Rumford woodstove fireplace are fully accessible; administrative offices are upstairs. There is also a kitchen available for preparing and heating lunches and snacks.
The facility is comfortable, and the rural surroundings – rolling woodlands, productive farm fields, rocky streams – position it as an ideal location for workshops and field work.

Unanswered: Run Access macro with Excel macro
I currently maintain a complicated Excel form that is used by our company's sales reps. After pricing is accepted, the saved version of form is placed in a specific folder for my retrieval. I also maintain the Access db for the critical data contained in the forms. My daily routine is to open the Excel form and run a VBA Excel macro that pulls critical data from the form and places it in a simple row and column format for transfer into database. The last step of the Excel macro contains the following line allowing me to activate Access.
Application.ActivateMicrosoftApp xlMicrosoftAccess
If my database file was not previously open the dialog box appears allowing me to choose the database file I want opened. If the database was previously open, Excel minimizes and the Access database window maximizes.
I then click a command button on the form to activate the transfer macro in Access transferring 3 spreadsheets of data into 3 Access tables. This database is the front end where the 3 tables are actually linked to SQL Server.
Due to the daily high volume of files, I am trying to reduce keystrokes and/or mouse clicks by activating the Access macro from Excel. The process now includes a click to bring up the open dialog box (or Ctrl+O) in Excel, double click to open file, click toolbar button (or Alt+0) to run Excel macro, click command button to run Access Macro and repeat over and over. I would ideally like to open the file and run the whole Excel/Access process in one step from the Excel toolbar button (or Alt+0). I've been searching the forum and found some code I thought was close (see below), but just can't get it to work. Hoping someone can tell me if this scenario is possible and give me some direction as to how to accomplish this.
Dim AF As Object
Set AF = GetObject("server or drive:\filename.mdb")
AF.Application.Visible = True
AF.Application.Windows("frmTransferDecember").Visi ble = True
AF.Application.Run "mcrTransferDecember"
Thanks in advance to all suggestions given.

you could transfer your access code in excel, add the references you need, i.e. the same ones from access and fully qualify your arguments,
for your open file you can use
and pass your string to the mscro to open the .mdb file
i can go into more detail but for now, im going home

Celebrating the small things in life shouldn't be hard. Yet, we all get busy, forget, or can't find the right way to say thanks to those close to us.
This is an occasion where we definitely won't forget to celebrate the opportunity we had last week to unveil our newest social recognition product at the Prepaid Expo in Las Vegas.
As many of you know, we have recently turned our attention to helping companies ensure people get the recognition they deserve the moment they do something awesome.
Let's say a colleague worked extra hard finishing up a project. With our new platform you can send her a cup of coffee instantly to her phone and then share the recognition internally and on social media to celebrate the moment. It's all about celebrating great work "in the moment" and amplifying it.
The big idea is to make it easy to say thanks.
We even put together a new video summarizing what we've been up to these past few months. It's not just the normal KangoGift website, it's an entirely new recognition platform geared for companies of all sizes.
And here are a few pics from the launch...
What made this launch even sweeter was that the expo team selected KangoGift to be featured as a "Next Big Thing" in digital gifting.
|All Great Companies
Plus it didn't hurt to have the chance to go on a big stage and present in front of our industry peers.
|Todd presenting social recognition
Thanks again to the team at the Prepaid Expo and to the companies piloting our newest product!

This image from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is too cool not to share (click to enlarge):
NASA offers this description:
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) experiences 12 "earthrises" every day, however LROC (short for LRO Camera) is almost always busy imaging the lunar surface so only rarely does an opportunity arise such that LROC can capture a view of Earth. On Feb. 1, 2014, LRO pitched forward while approaching the moon's north pole allowing the LROC Wide Angle Camera to capture Earth rising above Rozhdestvenskiy crater (112 miles, or 180 km, in diameter).

text: I thought I 'd post this here since there are a lot of landlords who deal in property frequently. Are structural surveys worth having or do you just get a long document full of get-out clauses like "consult a specialist on this matter" ?. I'd have thought a full structural survey should cover the fabric of the building and give you answers, not further ways of spending money to maybe find the answers. The property I'm thinking of buying is period, so I want a building surveyor rather than a GP surveyor. I want to know if woodworm is viable, I want to know if cavity wall ties are sound, but I don't think my £1000 is going to get me this information. Any ideas on what I should look for in a surveyor, or any recommendations on surveyors in Herefordshire/Worcs ?

Many characters in the Girl Genius comics wear or display badges. The badges are used as cloak clasps, lockets, or other clothing. Badges are also seen on machinery to identify the owner or owning House. The use of badges in these manners is an old heraldic practice, and many our-world examples can be found throughout history.
Note that the gas connector ring ✣ Gil slides onto Agatha's ring finger has the badge stamped into the band — as she looks at it, she remarks, "You guys really do sign everything, don't you?"
Many badges are seen with and without wings. The significance of the wings has been discussed, but no consensus has been reached.

I ended my last blog (From Boys to Men) with an old sports adage, "no pain no gain," a reference to the notion that a certain amount of pain is a by-product of sustained effort that leads to an increase in stamina and muscle definition. It seemed appropriate to begin this post with another reference to sports. Muhammad Ali, known equally well for his athletic prowess as his ability to turn a phrase, once quipped, "What really counts in the ring is what happens after you are exhausted." Continue reading
Book Review: Diary of a Social Detective by Jeffrey E. Jessum, Ph.D.
Middle school is a challenging time of life for most students. They often feel uncomfortable in their own skin as their bodies and brains mature and they also have become more aware of being the focus of attention. If they aren't constantly looking in the mirror, they are checking to see if someone else is watching them. For students with social communication issues or Autism Spectrum Disorder, this transition can be particularly confusing and painful. Suddenly, social interactions are way more complex and these kids are bewildered at the same time they would like a little social support to smooth their path. They often desire friends but have difficulty recognizing signals from others and getting the social context right. Continue reading
When Communicating with Teens, Less is More
There are a few changes parents typically expect as their youngsters grow into adolescence. Most parents know to expect a good portion of brooding, irritability and social drama. They expect their children's bodies to change and their sexuality to become more pronounced. Parents know that kids will rebel and talk back, and that they are likely to experiment with things you wish they wouldn't. Continue reading
11 Ways to De-Clutter Your Mental Workspace
The research is clear, multitasking doesn't work, yet we do it anyway. Parents worry about their children growing up in a buzzing, chirping, and otherwise media-interrupting world, but adults too are being swallowed up by distraction. In an attempt to get more done at once, we are becoming less productive. We are passively allowing our work and personal lives to be interrupted again and again with little to show for it. It's time we put some real thought into how we manage the information flow in our lives. If you want to see better work habits in your children, you can start by taking care of your own. Here are some ways to clean up your mental clutter and improve your productivity. Continue reading
Book Review: A Disease Called Childhood
Over the past 30 years or so, ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) has grown from an inglorious collection of symptoms into a household name. Approximately 11 percent of children and 15 percent of adolescents in the United States are diagnosed with ADHD. Each American child is 6 times more likely to receive the diagnosis than a child in France and 60 times more likely than a child in Finland. In her recently published book, A Disease Called Childhood, psychologist Marilyn Wedge set out to find out why ADHD became an "American epidemic." She concludes with a decisive stance against the medicalization of childhood behavior, rampant prescription of stimulants classified as addictive and widespread misrepresentation of research in the name of ADHD.

Freud or Betty Crocker: What's Cooking?
Anna Freud, daughter of Sigmund, was also an influential psychoanalyst and worked predominantly with children who experienced deprivation. She was the first psychologist to recognize the importance of food as a therapeutic tool. Providing food was seen as a "corrective emotional experience" for children whose basic needs had been inconsistently met. This point of view had its detractors and it became suspect to "gratify children's wishes". Hostility to the pleasures of food and eating is a theme that continues today in rigid diet regimens and the constant barrage of food-bashing in the media. Continue reading
From Boys to Men
I have worked with pre-adolescent and adolescent males, primarily African-American, but other racial and ethnic groups as well, for more than 25 years. In my 15 years at The Kingsbury Center, I have specialized in working with those who have some sort of learning disability, be it a struggle to read, despite average intelligence; or slow processing, which inhibits the ability to work in "real time"; or internal distractions, like attention or anxiety, which make it challenging to be an effective learner, both in terms of academics and in appropriate social and emotional functioning. My overarching goal is to help these boys successfully transition to manhood. What I have observed in emerging young men over the years leads me to share my personal perspective on a phenomenon that causes me great concern: too many young men are not being successfully "launched."

DPG Adj Rear Bumpstop Plates- XJ
Many lift kits offer extended bumpstops for the front of your Cherokee, but not for the rear! If you're running bigger tires, longer shocks or taller springs, you NEED longer bumpstops to protect your fenders, tires and suspension components!
Our DPG Adjustable Bump Stop Plates are made from 3/8″ thick 50,000 psi High Grade Steel. They are laser cut and ready for paint or coating of your choice.
Welded gussets on new versions provide ultimate strength!
They will work with standard 1/2″ or beefy 9/16″ U-bolts, and will work with axle tube sizes from Dana 35 up to the big 3.25″ tubes on a Ford 8.8″ housing.
We are always amazed how guys will spend good money on a nice lift and bigger tires, only to skimp on properly extended bumpstops! The result of this is cut tires, damaged uni-body seams, and overcompressed shocks and leaf springs, which result in premature sagging and failure of those components.
We've also seen a number of XJ's stuck on the trail because the tires were jammed into the fenders so hard that it couldn't move or steer! Pretty embarrassing to need a winch because your jeep is stuck -ON ITSELF!
This product simply replaces the factory upper u-bolt plates on your Cherokee!
Proper bumpstop tuning is essential to any balanced suspension system.
DPGBP-0 Large Axle Mounting Plates Only (w/ instructions) $64.99
DPGBP-1 Large Axle Mounting Plates, plus 1 pair of 1″ adjusting spacers, instructions and hardware $80.99
DPGBP-2 Large Axle Mounting Plates, plus 2-pairs of 1″ adjusting spacers, instructions and hardware $96.99 (33″ and larger tires)
Call for proper sizing/application. Tire diameter, wheel backspacing and fender trimming (or not) determines parameters.
Bumpstops are then tuned to those parameters.

2013 and Earlier - Mazda6 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
The rules vary in different states according to my son who was a GMAC customer service rep. In Ohio, for example, you don't get the title until you pay off the loan.'14 Buick Encore Convenience
'17 Chevy Volt Premiere
"I'm in Ontario, Canada and looking at a 04 sport wagon GT V6, AUTO, leather, moonroof, GFX package ... quote I was given by a dealer ... msrp 34,560 discount (2,205)"
Considering that the car is a year old and thus has depreciated at least 10% and likely closer to 20%, the 7% discount the dealer is offering is paltry. Ask the dealer what the exact build date for your vehicle is (there's a label on the driver side doorway) and remind the salesman that this is an older model. Why not check online for your area and the rest of Ontario for prices of low mileage used Mazda 04 sport wagons to get an idea what the price is now that it has depreciated in value? Also, you seem to have picked a model that is well equipped (due to good taste, no doubt). According to Consumer Reports, Kelly Blue Book and other sources well optioned versions usually depreciate faster than their base models; in other words, the top of the line used vehicle usually loses the most value. So, you may want to consider the price of the base model as well as your model in your searches. Additionally, you can always remind the dealer that he has some excellent competition from Toyota and Honda. Finally, everyone has to make a living, so don't be surprised if the salesman does not agree with your counter offer.
Let us know how you make out.
wookiemofo Posts: 20That's pretty much what I did when I was researching my new purchase. It really helps, because if gives you the confidence when talking to the dealer. That's probably what helped me the most now that I think about it, I would have had abosuletly no problem moving into a used Mazda6, even had a print out of the one i was gonna get. Lets the dealer know that you don't HAVE TO buy a new one.
I took the difference between a new and used, and evaulated if that was enough to pay for a full warranty, and no miles. Turns out it was!!!
redmazda Posts: 1Can anyone help me in determining what I should pay for a new 2004 Mazda6 5dr.,manual hatch with the security package and the Bose/moonroof package with cloth. There are only two 2004s in my area (CT). Both are Volcanic red. There is $3000 incentive from Mazda, plus another $1,000 from Mazda credit if financing at approx. 6.5% for 60 months. I am at $18,300 plus tax, title, insurance, and a $299 conveyance fee. The invoice is approx $21,800. Should I be below invoice plus the incentives or is 22,300 - 4000 incentives good ( 18,300)?
ramped Posts: 35818,300 is way high.
This car is nearly two model years old.
I'd offer 17,000 at the most, plus they waive the conveyance fee, whatever that is.
Sound advice.
Looks like the vehicle I quoted was sold.
I've found a few more 04's in the area that are definitely cheaper, though they have 7-10k on the clock rather than the 53km the sold one had.
Fortunately no rush for me, so I'll proceed with Due Diligence.
With invoice prices of around 24-25K the dealers in my area want around 20K plus tax . There must be at least 10 2004 wagons in my area but none seem to be willing to sell for less than 20K after the 6,000 in rebates . What puts me off even more is that I just realized what about the mileage and the first dealer said 500 miles on his new wagon ouch . What do you think a fiar price is on the wagons that have a msrp of around 26-27K .
thanks JM .
denali856 Posts: 118I thought about trying to find a leftover 'new' '04, or even buying a new '05, but there's a dealer in my area (Maple Shade Mazda, Maple Shade, NJ) who only sells used Certified Pre-Owned Mazdas, and with a certified pre-owned car you get a lot of extra warranty protection. I made a deal on an '04 6S ATX sedan with 13k miles on it for the 'Internet price' of a bit over $18 and was out the door for under $20.
The car is going to be my wife's driver and she puts about 30k/year on the odometer because of her long commute, so when I thought about it, it seemed like actually a better deal than buying new (because she will blow through the remainder of the 4yr/50k bumper-to-bumper in a little over a year).
`This Mazda 6 wagon was the Parts manager's demo
it has 4920 miles on it. `
It wonders me how dealers fail to mention small descripiances like this when they quote new car prices !!!!!

You're wise not to rush, Clive. That is one of the biggest advantages, I believe, we consumers have in the madness called car buying.
My Mazda dealer uses autotrader.ca as one source for used car pricing.
Visiting various dealerships may be helpful in determining with whom you would like to deal once you're ready.
nightlight Posts: 1Hi everyone. I have been reading the forums for a while now to see if I should purchase a loaded 2005 Mazda6 sedan. I was wondering if anyone knows about any rebates that will be available in April here in New York or rather the United States, since the rebates currently available are set to expire on March 31st. Thanks everyone
dans6 Posts: 3I just bought a '05 Mazda6. I had the S-plan plus all the rebates. Financed thru Mazda and asked the dealer about going thru my credit union, and the finance person at the dealer said I had to wait 4 months to transfer it to my credit union!!
Is that true?
skb123 Posts: 13Congrtulations. Will you pl tell us the dealership you bought from. thanks
msmith4 Posts: 2I did buy an O4 Wagon (auto, sport package) in Edmonton back in late Feb. OTD price (including GST) was $25,990.00. It took a lot of negotiating (and I think I left a few hundred bucks on the table anyway) but was happy with the price and am really, really happy with the car. Your dealers quote sounds pretty high to me. My advice is not to let the dealers break down all the seperate costs (they do this to confuse buyers I think). I just kept coming back to a what I thought was a total fair price (even including the gst).
Good luck
firstly, Im looking for a loaded mazda3, but when I saw mazda 6, I can't resist it. The problem is that my budget is under 20k. So my only choice is i model.
Im in Ohio, the price Im getting now is:
2005 mazda6 i sport sedan 4 door sports model.
Out of door (include all the fee): 19461.15
And my target is reducing the OTD to 18500, is it possible?
BTW: I also wanna know if there is any rebates for April? Im struggling between low APR or 1000 MAC, which one is better?
Any suggestion will be very appreciated, Thanks:)
jlam2 Posts: 21If you want to save money, then go for the 2004 6s 5 door(sports package is already included in this model). It's the exact same car as a 2005 except you get a 5 speed instead of a 6 speed auto, if that's what you want. Same good looks and the same V6 engine. The 2004 is also priced around $900 cheaper than a 2005. If you go to the mazda.com web site and click on inventory, they will search for you in Ohio. So far, I see their is seven 2004 models left. 6 of them at Mazda Direct in Columbus. Fortunately, 5 of them are silver(same as mine). If you get one for MSRP $25000 and with a $6500 automatic rebate(w/ autoshow discount) you are looking at around $18500 or less for a Mazda 6s with a V6 engine.
Msmith4 said "I did buy an O4 Wagon (auto, sport package) in Edmonton back in late Feb. OTD price (including GST) was $25,990.00"
Sounds like an excellent price. A few questions:
- Did you buy the GS V6?
- How many kilometres at the time of purchase? Was this a demo by any chance?
- Was there any PST along with the GST?
- Do you remember the Freight/PDI charges?
The price sounds pretty good, may be hard to get lower on an '05. I bought my Mazda from Mazda Direct in Columbus in October; had one bad experience in the middle of negotiations but otherwise positive; they have a lot of inventory to choose from.'14 Buick Encore Convenience
'17 Chevy Volt Premiere
thanks jlam2
unfortunately, Im in cleveland area. There's few 04 model left and the color is also good. so maybe the only choice is 05.
And Im just waiting for the incentive April, see what will show up
oh,what kind of bad experience? on finance? this is what Im concerning
I'm on the fence on whether to spring for a 2004 6i 5-door (Volcanic Red). A dealership nearby has one loaded (Bose, Moonroof, Security Package, Leather) for just over $25K. After negotiation, I'm guessing $18-20K would be a good range.
HOWEVER, the car has a stickshift- which I've always wanted to drive. But with the rebates ending today (and so tempting), and moving cross-country in a few weeks, I'm wondering whether to spring for it.
If I knew the rebates would stay the same- or get better- next month, and I had another couple of days to think, I'd feel better considering it. After all, I've been wanting a 6 for the past 3 years- and the Volcanic Red (I believe)was on the Tokyo Auto Show Atenza I saw back in 2002 that began my love for this car- and this one has everything I would want.
So should I do it today, or will the rebates continue?
About the stickshift, I should elaborate. I've learned about 2 years ago, but I quit out of frustration (with myself, my mom teaching me, and fear of ruining her BMW) although I was starting to get the hang of it. So this would be my first stickshift, and I wonder if I could get the hang of a Mazda stick- especially before making a 1700 mile trip.
Sounds like you got an excellent deal to me.
No, not on financing at all. The sales guy has been great, but one of the managers really tried to pressure me to buy THAT DAY OR ELSE. When I wouldn't budge and walked out, another sales manager called me at home and apologized and said the deal was still good. I told them up front I didn't want any extended warranties, rustproofing, etc. and the finance guy just wrote up the straight ticket. So it all ended up very positive.'14 Buick Encore Convenience
'17 Chevy Volt Premiere
I'm looking at this private sale of a hatch version below.
The guy bought the car 2 months ago for $32,000 - there's $31k left to pay.
I can take over the 0% payments, but still to me the cars not worth that much - mind you in taking over the payments I don't pay GST apparently.
I feel like offering him no more than 26k but then he'll have to pitch in 5k out of his pocket, which I can't see him being too happy about.
I think it was you who mentioned the madness of car buying - what a circus! :0)

escortowner Posts: 132if you can find an 04 out there, you could get an S for under 20 k.....I got mine for under 18 k otd - no sunroof or bose system, or leather, but it still has a lot of nice features. the S is much more fun to drive.....so if you can find an 04 it may be worth it.
that's really cool, but few 04 here, that's the problem.
The only thing I can find on mazdausa.com
Better or Worse?
3.9% APR for 60 Months (1)(2) OR up to $2,000 Customer Cash (3)(4)
Clive said: The guy bought the car 2 months ago ... Mileage: 22,000 km
Wow! That's a lot of driving if you consider the average is 20K per year. I would check for paperwork regarding original purchase and subsequent maintenance work performed; he would have had to have had at least 2 oil changes. Then, I would ask how he would feel about an independent garage performing a vehicle inspection as a condition of sale; if this does not suit him, I would move to the next prospect. As a sign of good faith you may want to say that if you don't buy the car the inspection would be paid by you; if you do buy the car it comes out of your offer.
Considering the mileage the car would be treated as a year old; depreciation would be about 20% so you're right to offer $26K as a start and possibly accept $27K. I am assuming you meant the price before GST. With GST the price works out to approximately $28K (which seems okay) to $29K (which seems high). And yes that will be a tough pill to swallow for him. I would not offer him $30K or anything close to that.
p.s. I must be missing something because if he owes $31K and is selling it for $30K it sounds like he will owe you money to take over the payments.
He bought the car from a dealership with km's already on the clock.
Yes, in this situation he will have to pay me or the dealership monies for me to take over the payments. Apparently I won't have to pay any GST to do this.
For your entertainment, below follows our communication to date - thanks again for the advice:
That is lower than I have expected, however due to certain circumstance
I have to sell the vehicle within the next 2 weeks.
I will keep your offer in mind just in case .
Thank you.
To: 'Radzio'
Subject: RE: Offer on Mazda 6 . . .
My advice is to stay in there for the long run.
The most I would be willing to pay for the vehicle is $26k
To: 'Walltec (80) Inc.'
Subject: RE: Offer on Mazda 6 . . .
The car is in perfect condition and it still has 7 years warranty on it.
I am willing to let it go for reasonable price.
I only drove the car for the last past two months.
How much money am I willing to lose? The less the better.
I believe 28-29 is a reasonable price for the vehicle.
Make me an offer if you're interested.
To: 'Radzio'
Subject: RE: Offer on Mazda 6 . . .
I understand what you are saying.
The unfortunate thing about cars is nobody makes money on them. The car looks very nice but because it has done 22,000km it is worth allot less than you are asking.
The question is; how much money are you willing to lose?
To: 'Walltec (80) Inc.'
Subject: RE: Offer on Mazda 6 . . .
Hello There,
I don't want to make any money on the car. All I want to do is sell it or give the car to good hands.
The vehicle has extra remote starter, tint installed after the purchase.
It comes with 7 years full warranty and Mazda road assistance program.
Attached you will find more pictures for your convince.
Thank you

Sorry that offer is simply not acceptable.
I bought the car 2 months ago and paid 32,000$
The car has 7 yrs warranty on it (which was purchased extra for 2000.00)
The car's payments can be taken over at 0% finicing.
