A Writer's Island Escape
- By: Anna Kasabian

So often we wonder where writers write, where they live, and how on earth they manage to weave protective cocoons around themselves so that they can give us the books we can't bear to put down. For critically acclaimed novelist and biographer Roxana Robinson, all the magic that bubbles up inside and comes to land on paper is often coupled with being here, on Mount Desert Island, perched at treetop level in the silence of her writing tower, blue sky and views all hidden behind the shades she unfurls upon arriving to write.
"Views are actually anathema to a writer. It's better to write with the shades down. But quiet — yes, there is nothing more valuable to a writer than quiet," Robinson says.
Her writing tower, and the supreme quiet offered in this, her country perch, put her stark Manhattan apartment writing room (recently featured in the New York Times) light years away — the city's din and blaring lights replaced with a starlet sky and rich inspiration.
She has worked on four books here including her latest novel, Cost, which is set in Maine and was named one of the five best fiction books of the year by the Washington Post, and won the 2008 Award for Fiction from the Maine Writers and Publisher's Alliance. A prolific writer of fiction and non-fiction that runs the gamut from gardening and travel writing to biography, she was named a Literary Lion by the New York Public Library.
Robinson has written four novels and three collections of short stories. Four of her works have been chosen Notable Books of the Year by the New York Times. Her biography of Georgia O'Keeffe was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Calvin Tomkins of the New Yorker called Robinson's tome "without question the best book written about O'Keeffe."
It is no wonder that this gifted writer needed a place to nurture her ever-growing garden of ideas, images, and thoughts.
It was just a dozen years ago that Robinson and her husband, Tony, began to search in earnest for a little piece of Nirvana, far from Manhattan, where quiet was the norm so that she could concentrate on her work, whose views would capture the natural landscape and take in the ever-changing colors of sea and sky. For Tony, in finance at the time (he is now retired), the peace of the place let him unwind and read.
In the planning stages for their new home, the couple toured and studied Mount Desert Island's architecture as well as other summer communities. They were drawn to this island in particular because they had history here. Tony had come here as a young boy with his parents, and the couple has been enjoying the island together since 1980 as renters and boaters.
Their collection of ideas would eventually translate into this earthy architectural sequin that, since moving here in 1997, looks as though it was skillfully stitched into the land. The 3,200-square-foot home, just 150 feet from the water, has six rooms. Dense woods surround the home, and a long, winding driveway keeps it invisible to the road. Not a neighbor is in sight.
The couple worked with the Boston architectural firm Albert, Righter & Tittmann, a natural choice since James Righter is a brother-in-law, and "we knew and loved his work!" Distilling preferred architectural styles and materials, became a collaborative effort. "I told Jim I liked the Northeast Harbor Tennis Club, which was long and low and modest," says Robinson. "It looked summery, had big wide porches, and has become part of the landscape." It was important, too, that the house sit quietly in and on the land, and as time passed, that it fade more and more into the moss greens and browns of the surrounding landscape.
"Jim also asked us interesting questions on how we wanted to live in the space," recalls Robinson. "Did we want a separate dining room; how many people would we have to dinner; how close did we want to sit to the fire; did we want to see the water from our bed? He got us to think about how we wanted to live here."
In the end, she says "There is nothing we would change!"
The home is a collection of wings and pavilions that wrap around a garden. "One side of the garden is defined by the living room pavilion that is higher than the other rooms and has its own hipped roof. Another side of the garden is defined by the wing of guest bedrooms. Roxana's writing tower, with its high peaked, hipped roof, sits at the crossing of all wings and serves as an anchor to the whole architectural composition," says architect Jacob Albert.
The stew of architectural elements here echoes those of a home built in 1910. For example, privacy was important, whether it be for the master or guest bedrooms, or Robinson's tower.
What appears to be the front door actually opens into an arcade with an interior garden, and a walkway leads down the long leg of the T before arriving at the main house. This offers a bit of restrained drama while giving visitors a few moments to appreciate where they are. The door, says, Robinson, is what is termed a "Charleston" door, and the interior walkway recalls a detail of St. Jude's Church in Seal Harbor, a charming detail James Righter brought here.
To enter the master suite there is a separate hall, "with a little jog so you have to enter more slowly," says Robinson. Albert and Righter installed details that recall the early twentieth century spirit the Robinsons wanted to evoke. "Most windows are double hung with small panes in the upper sash, and the one large single pane in the lower sash offers a more unobstructed view at chair level," says Jacob.
Choosing a color palette for the interior took a bit of reflection and research on Robinson's part. "We had rented a house in Provence for many years, and I wanted to use the colors I had come to love there — the ochres, umbers, and yellows," says Robinson. "But I realized this was wrong for Maine."
She concluded the subdued Scandinavian colors were more appropriate, and Righter took the theme further by integrating the cabinetry of Carl Larsson in the bookshelves he built.
The combined living room and dining room are conducive to informal vacation living. The series of bookshelves, a small library's worth, houses the couple's collection of books, and warms up the big, open space. Most rooms enjoy water views of Somes Sound with the exception of the guest bedroom wing that looks out to a meadow, and now the vegetable garden.
The idea for Robinson's writing tower came after touring Fishers Island, in New York, where she saw a wonderful little nineteenth-century house with a tower. "It seemed the perfect environment for a writer," she says.
And since it was built, the house's skin, made of cedar shingles, has taken in the salt air, winter winds, and pounding rains, all helping it settle into the landscape, become more invisible with mature growth, and, more quiet.
Not long ago the house's purpose expanded. It not only continues to inspire this writer's words, but it now welcomes the sweet voices and romping of grandchildren. They, in fact, inspired the latest building project — a playhouse. "It's eight square feet, fifty feet from the house, and it's just big enough to fit a sleeping bag and mattress," says Robinson.
From June through mid-September friends and family come here to cook together, chat by the fire, and enjoy all that the area offers. Robinson also tends her ever-evolving gardens, mostly shades of green composed of native plants with a few specks of snow-white blossoms peeking through. And the vegetable garden, tucked off on a sunny perch of land, brings a bounty of tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, pole beans, zucchini, and sweet peas to the table, plucked fresh.
For the month of January, when the sea is often its deepest, darkest blue, and the wind can blow ferociously across the tower, Robinson is there, writing, her desk light shining at dusk like a star in the night.

The Rackhouse Pub
Online Reservations
The food? Excellent. You gotta try the mac-n-cheese. The drinks? If you like whiskey, you're golden! They have a plethora to choose from. I had their version of a Moscow mule and it was good - they make their own ginger beer. Worth a try if this is a drink you like. The service? It was good...not great. Our waitress wasn't extremely attentive and she couldn't answer a lot of our questions. Next time I go, I think I'll schedule a tour and then eat/drink. We obviously didn't think through our visit.
Great Gastro Pub. Great food and excellent beer and liqour selection. Make sure to check in on foursquare to get happy hour prices on drinks any time of the day. Mac and cheese is amazing. Get it at the very least as your side. You wont regret it.
The food was amazing, but there was a very large crowd. It's a pub, a part of Stranahans building, yet the server we rarely found took over 30 minutes to get our drink order and bring a beer. If I go to a place with "pub" in the name, I'm assuming I have the beer in my hand before I can really look at the menu. The food took almost as long on top of that, and I found myself shouting to be heard by the person at my table. I don't know if they don't normally expect that volume of people on a Sunday evening, but I wasn't impressed with the service at all. The food was amazing, and the drink selection looked great. I would go back for the food, but I'd probably leave if it looked too crowded
If you had a category for IPA draft beer selection, I would rate it 5 stars. The food was fair. So I bumped up the food score from 2 to 3 stars.
The Rackhouse Pub is the place to go for great drinks, terrific food, and lively atmosphere. I have had their Stranhattan several times and it is certainly for the lover of the Manhattan. The Ribs were the perfect touch for a good meal.
Thanks Rackhouse for hosting our rowdy party for 30! Food was great, service was great, and the whiskey never stopped flowing :) This seems to be my annual birthday party spot :) See ya next May!
Wow. The best mac and cheese ever! I must have more. Great Whiskey, Great Beer and great service for our table of 15 which grew to maybe 20+. Thanks for everything.
Don't be fooled by the slightly offbeat location and the attached distillery: The food was superb. Ribs to die for, great selection of beverages, sides were unique and tasty across the board. Try this place out....You will be glad you did.
We went here for Mother's Day and absolutely LOVED it. I always love the Rackhouse, but their Mother's Day menu was delicious and creative. The chef even stopped by to check and see how we like the specials.
I hosted a group of 15 out of town colleagues. We went on the Stranahan's tour and then had dinner at the Rackhouse Pub. I had not been to either one and neither one disappointed. The tour was great. About 45 minutes. Rackhouse had our table ready and were accommodating when our group went from 10 to 15. They had a great beer selection and lots of menu options. My pulled BBQ bison was a treat as was the side of Mac n' Cheese!! So good! And so rich! Another guest had the lobster mac - it seriously could have fed 3-4 people it was so much food. Also really good. The group overall loved the whole experience and found the food all around to be really tasty. My only ding would be initial service-beer took a long time and we had to request water.
We were part of a large group of friends trying the restaurant for the first time. With all hard surfaces and a huge open room, I thought it would be too noisy to talk. Without loud, blaring music I could hear my friends across the table. Everyone agreed the food was really good, but for those who had it, the mac 'n cheese was a standout. They have a large and varied selection of beers and some interesting cocktails. My ribs were tasty and tender, not outstanding, but I'd be happy to order them again since I can't get to S. Carolina every time I want some ribs. The cornbread muffin accompanying your BBQ is usually just ok, but this one was worth eating all on it's own. Others had the portabella sandwich and thought it was excellent.
We went here with a large group following a tour of Stranahan's whiskey distillery. The staff were very friendly and accommodated a change in time due to our tour. The food is GREAT! Mac & cheese in all forms is crazy delicious, all other meals were good too. Noisy and no atmosphere to speak of, but we're a group of friends that goes out every week and we all definitely would go back here again.
Rackhouse Pub is attached to the Stranahan's Distillery and although the tours were full on the day we ate, it was still a bit of an experience. The food is good and plentiful, although maybe not the pizza. The rack of ribs is huge and quite good. And of course a taste of Stranahan's whiskey is a must. Overall very fun experience.
Food and drinks were great, we didn't care for the desserts.
On Saturday, I threw a bachelorette party for my best friend. We went on the distillery tour and lunch at the Rackhouse afterwards. I knew she would enjoy the tour but the main reason I picked the Rackhouse was for the specialty mac-n-cheese as it is her favorite food. SHE LOVED IT. We all did. The service was great, the drinks were delicious, and the food was amazing. Definitely coming back!
The food, drinks and service was awesome. I had the Bison Street Tacos, they were the best. Our waiter was around when we needed something, but he didn't hover. Drinks were local products, great selection.
Tucked into Stranahan's whiskey distillery, in an industrial neighborhood is this delightful restaurant. Their imaginative take on pub food (such as kielbasa empanadas) starts the meal off right. the ribs were delectable, best we've had in Colorado and cocktails and exciting beer list top off a great casual dining experience
Great for groups or just a few friends, this restaurant/pub offers a little bit of everything. The best beer and spirits selection I have ever seen. The service was great and the food menu choices were many.
I like this place. The food is pubby, american. Tasty bison and yummy mac n cheese. Smells like a distillery, duh. And it can get quite loud which fine, just wouldn't recomend it for a romantic dinner. All and all a unique Denver eatery. Fun for out of town guests.
Ambiance fun, food prep and presentation excellent. Wait staff friendly and attentive.
They did a great job for my bachelor party! RECOMMENDED!
Ton's of people from the GABF, tons of beer on tap which was nice. Food was excellent bar food. Would go back hopefully not during such a busy time. Service was slow but the place was packed.
The beauty of the Rackhouse is the location and specifically the proximity to the aroma of roasted grains, coupled with the sweetness of the wort/wash. It makes for an excellent dining experience couple with above average pub food. After all that you can still begin or end your time with a Stranahan's distillery tour.
Didn't know this joint was associated with Stranahans, but the beer selection was fantastic and the food was just as good!
We went to Stranahan's for the whiskey tour prior to eating at the Rackhouse. We thought the tour would be done in ample time to get to dinner but the tour lasted approximately an hour. The wait staff was very accommodating. We still had our table waiting for us when we finished the tour. The waitress was great! I had a pumpkin pie martini (delicious) and the other members of my party ordered beers. They have a great selection to choose from for mixed drinks, beers, and other spirits. The food was amazing as well! My boyfriend and I each had burgers. They were phenomenal (and the oven fries were so tasty)! My friend had the macaroni and cheese dish with the lobster (I had to try that as well). Out of this world!

I'm wondering if you could put copper piping directly under the metal backing of the PV solar panel and heat the water in the tubes while also generating electricity. I'm thinking that if you have a smaller, energy efficient house, then the roof space might be limited to have both a PV panel and a solar hot water panel.

I plug the VOM into an outlet and watch the voltage range from 105 to 128. I have confronted ICE the local monopoly Power and Communications Company and their engineers say that is perfectly OK voltage. Lights out is fairly common, averaging up to 20 momentary blinks per week, sometimes.
Light bulbs don't last for very long. I'm about to start wiring the house for low voltage lighting and power stations.
When I lived in Arkansas, I sold wind turbines, Solar Panels and Towers, along with TV Antennas and rotators and boosters. Had a guy convert a booster to 12V. He said there was a device to take 120V AC and change it to 12V DC. He bypassed that device. I ran that booster for several years with no problems.
I would like to convert the Modem and Satellite receiver to low voltage, if possible ?? Anyone here know how to do that ??
I recently found some LiFePo4 batteries for 34 cents per wh. I need to see about shipping. I want to start with a 12V system, and, lead just doesn't get it, anymore. 2--220Ahr 6V Golf Car batteries would run me over $400.00 if I bought them down here, and then, have to have them transported over the mountains to me.
I should have my 10-1 gearbox here any day, so I can start building my Wind Turbine. Tower will be the expensive part. Probably use 1½" Angle for the lower section and 1" EMT Conduit for the upper section, crank up style.

George Willcox McIver was born on December 22, 1858, at Carthage, N.C., and died in 1947 at the age of eighty-nine. He was the son of Alexander McIver, a noted North Carolina educator, and Mary Ann Willcox. McIver was appointed to West Point in 1877 and graduated with the class of 1882. Upon graduation, he began a military career of forty years of active service including duty in the United States, Alaska, Cuba, France, and the Philippine Islands.
McIver's military career began with service in the West (1883-1891) with the 7th U.S. Infantry. He was stationed at various forts, including Pembina, Fred Steele, Laramie, Logan, and Bridger. He was sent to Rock Springs, Wyoming (1885), along with other troops to put down civil unrest between Chinese and white miners. McIver's unit participated in the "Sioux Campaign" of 1890-1891 which culminated in the Battle of Wounded Knee. He served as a tactical officer at West Point (1891-1893); duty officer to Camp Pilot Butte, Montana (1893); and Regular Army officer with the California National Guard (1894), where he observed the civil unrest of the California Railroad Strikes. In 1898, McIver was reunited with the 7th U.S. Infantry, which was mobilized at Chickamauga Park, Georgia, for service in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, where McIver's unit participated in the Battle of El Caney.
From 1898-1900, McIver was stationed at Ford Brady, Michigan, and at Leech Lake Indian Agency in Walker, Minnesota. From 1900 to 1903, he was stationed at Nome and Fort St. Michael, Alaska. He was assigned to the Philippine Islands from 1903 until July 1905, when he returned to California as the Commandant of the U.S. military prison on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay. In 1907, he became the Commandant of the army's first musketry school at Monterey, California. In 1911, he began work on a revision of the Army Small Arms Firing Manual. McIver served a second tour of duty in the Philippines (1914) before becoming executive officer of the Militia Bureau of the War Department (1915).
Before U.S. intervention in World War I, McIver was promoted to Brigadier General and took command of the 161st Brigade of the 81st (Wild Cat) Division which trained at Camp Jackson and Camp Sevier, South Carolina. This unit became incorporated into the American Expeditionary Force and participated in the Meuse-Argonne offensive. From 1919 until his retirement in 1922, McIver was stationed at Fort Pike, Arkansas, and Fort Slocum, New York.

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Looking for a new and exciting recipe to perk up chicken? Try this flavor-packed, sweet and spicy dish that's on the table in 30 minutes."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup Pace® Picante Sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
1 cup regular long-grain white rice, prepared according to package directions
This was a great dish. Will definitely make again! I didn't change anything on the recipe except I did double up on the garlic, orange juice and Picante sauce(I used Tostito's Salsa instead) there was not much sauce otherwise. Topped with cheddar cheese is an excellent addition.
It wasn't anything too exciting. Tasted like chicken with salsa on it; which really is what it is. It was easy though and pretty good.

Who was Ptolemy?
Claudius (Ptolemaues)
Claudius Ptolemy was born in Egypt in about 85 A.D. He was one of the most infuential Greek astromomers, geographers and mathematicians of his time.He had access to knowledge left by the great scientists before him.
Of the many written works of Ptolemy, the Almagest and the Geography are the best known. Almagest is still in use today. Divided into 13 sections, each section deals with a different astronomical concept. As Ptolemy continued to study and observe the heavens, he formulated his geocentric theory (Earth Centered) known as the Ptolemaic System. The Ptolemaic System shows the Earth as the center of the system followed outward by the moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. This system was accepted by all until 1543 when Nicholaus Copernicus discovered the heliocentric (sun centered)system.
For his accomplishments, Ptolemy has both a Mars crater and a lunar crater named for him.

Failure or breakage of your timing belt will result in engine failure.
Considering the gravity of that information, FCP Euro has invested a massive amount of research into developing the highest quality Audi timing belt kit available. It is designed around the concept that keeping all the components assisting your timing belt upgraded will provide the maximum life and functionality of the belt itself, while simultaneously providing your engine with the support it deserves. With trusted brand names such as GMB and Continental, this Audi A4 timing belt kit is a great choice for the life of your vehicle.
This kit only fits models after chassis 042385 (the last 6 digits of your vin)

Iny 5pts Good lord. You biatches are still on this article. quit it already and move on. Next topic!!!
CALI-LIFER 5pts From my understanding the truck market is more profitable than cars or vans or crossovers. Why do you think toy and Nissan "tried" to succeed like the big 3. From what I see The big 3 are going to have the top 3 best selling vehicles in America!! Now that im proud of!!
Jeremy Ferguson 5pts That's mostly fleet sales car rental and taxi otherwise based on individual consumer the accord wins
Madison93x 5pts I love seeing you forum worriers come on here and just regurgitate the same old things every month. Every month buyers are stupid for buying the Camry which is ugly, doesn't drive well, and what is it again?... oh yeah vanilla. Now, if the Camry was trying to be something else other than a people mover I would concur with all the hatred. But (and I know this may come a surprise to some of you) IT'S NOT. It's just a car. A sedan version of a minivan. A TOOL, an APPLIANCE. And when a mid-grade SE is going for 21k brand new with power seats, moon roof, a modern looking dash, nifty modern electronics, and decent fit and finish, they make a helluva an argument. The Camry is not a bad car. It's actually a GOOD car that not only holds it's own when compared to others but actually has strengths. For example, for a car that lacks a duel clutch, direct fuel injection, and other "cool" features that every car MUST have like a turbo, the Camry is actually one of, if not, THE smoothest car I've driven. It's steering is light and crisp, its 4 cylinder is strong and quiet, and its 6 speed auto is second to no one in it's class. When you're an "enthusiast" there's is more to a car than just reliability, space and price. Yeah I get that. But look around you, our world is full of mostly non-enthusiasts. At the end of the day no matter WHAT car you buy as an everyday driver, it will eventually just become nothing more than a tool to get you where the hell you need to go. If you want to buy something else fine, I know I did. But don't say a car sells for no reason when clearly it sells for all the right reasons.
Herman Rodstrong 5pts The Mazda 6 and the Kia Optima are the 2 best cars in this class. The sales figures are a shame but unfortunately they are expected.
iodelia 5pts Camry is not the best, but it is the go to car. The iphone is not the best phone, but moms needed one and guess what I didn't tell her about how some of the android phones had better specs. I got her the phone I knew would just work. Camry is something like that. But when it's $5000 off at most dealers people who we're going to get a used car can now buy new, with a warranty. I still find it hard to get excited about any midsized car lately. It's great we have so many choices and with more camry's on the road it make the car you're driving ( if you're not in a camry) look that more special.
HozayTorres 5pts Toyota Camary has a great reputation, price and reliability. I would still purchase an Accord, Fusion and Mazda 6 over the Camary though.
d_mcglasson 5pts Considering that the Camry's remaining advantages seem to be quiet, price and "perceived" quality, the thought of a poorly-assembled new-design Camry with no discounts next summer must have Toyota dealers laying awake nights.Personally, if I were replacing my Lincoln MKZ (aka the World's Nicest Fusion) with a new mid-size right now, it would be an Accord. A Sport or a Hybrid, not sure which. The new Fusion's real-world fuel economy with the Eco-Boost is terrible, and I wouldn't buy the thrashy 2.5L,
CALI-LIFER 5pts The REAL king fseries, has almost twice as many sales as the peoples crap camry!! TWICE AS MANY!!! What the he!! are toy fans raving about? being 3rd? bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaAnd I bet next year the Ram will out sell the camry!!! Predict on that fatdynamite!! so 4th place here we come camry!! It wont even be in the top 3 NO MORE!! By top 3 I mean best selling vehicles. PERIOD!
LoCO 5pts It's the same lines and the same people every month. Personally, I think the fanboyism is kind of entertaining. However, the bigotry that motivates some of those folks is low. Cali-li resorted to a racial epithet to make his insults louder yesterday. That was deleted, but anyone who saw it could clearly see him for what he is: a bigoted fanboy.
corinthianz2006 5pts @iodelia lol ur crazy as hell, Toyota dealers give u almost nothing on new camrys, if u try and low ball the salesmen or try to make ur own deal they laugh and walk away from u. when ur negotiating a camry at a dealership, the ball is in the salesman's court. I mean even 10 yr old camrys with 90k miles on them are still going for 10 grand lol idk what ur talkin about dude. I wish they were giving 5 grand in incentives on camrys, or any Toyota for that matter. people want reliable cars and Toyotas are still viewed as THE MOST reliable brand out there, like it or not.
Yoma 5pts @iodelia 5000 dollar incentive? Tell me where. The most ive seen is 2000 around my place. Thats nothing compared to the 6000 on the F150 or the 4000 on the Escape...
corinthianz2006 5pts @d_mcglasson "perceived" quality my arse. camrys are bullet proof. even camrys that are owned by idiots that don't think car maintenance is important still last to 200k miles or more. if u maintain them properly they'll last to 400k
iodelia 5pts @d_mcglasson I agree, a full priced camry is a ripoff. I bought a new Camry i4 SE last month for $19,400. It just has power seats & mats. But the thought of people who bought it fully loaded paying $30,000+ does not make any sense. I was so happy everyone was dogging it and the true car price just kept going lower and lower. I know the resale value might go down in the future but I stuck with a $20,000 budget and I could not get an Accord sport for that price or I would have.
corinthianz2006 5pts @CALI-LIFER half of ford f-series sales are to fleets cuz fords prices are the lowest.
Yoma 5pts @CALI-LIFER "Toy" fans are raving about how Toyots doesnt dump 1/3 of their vehicles into fleet all year round. "Toy" fans also rave about reliability... "Toy" fans also rave about how their company can outsell any other company... Go Ford???
CALI-LIFER 5pts Wont that be nice ford chevy and ram 1st 2nd and 3rd best selling vehicles next year?HE!! YEA AMERICA IS KICKING THESE JAPS IN THE BOOTTY AGAIN!! They cant build TRUCKS!! WE CANT MAKE ENOUGH!! GO FORD!!
CALI-LIFER 5pts @LoCO I love America and Americans and American cars!! they san erase what they don't want to hear so suck on that!! I still express my freedom of speech right anytime I feel like. Kind of how it was before all you people starter this revolving non sense, that is the only entertainment that I get a kick out of. Others, like yourself, take it why to personal.
Mike the car nut 5pts @corinthianz2006 10 year old Camry with 90K miles for 10K??? Try more like 6 or 7 thousand IF it is in great condition. Just check out Craigslist.
iodelia 5pts I guess I'm just that good. I got my Camry i4 SE last month for 19,400 (power seat & mats). Sticker price was 24,700. I went in an told them I was buying a car, gave them a fair price just a little higher than the truecar price in my area and the guy wanted to sell a camry.
CALI-LIFER 5pts @corinthianz2006 Ok if you take the fleets sale, which is not "like half", the fseries still sales more. So who is better? And from my understanding the truck market is more profitable than cars or vans or crossovers. Why do you think toy and Nissan "tried" to succeed like the big 3. From what I see The big 3 are going to have the top 3 best selling vehicles in America!! Now that im proud of!!
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Yoma you can take your 1/3 of fleets and ford is still selling more! your point sucks!
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Yoma are you raving about all the recalls, not just this year, but 3 of the last 4 years? that's another #1 for you!!
bmforever 5pts @CALI-LIFER it's hard not to be at the top when you dump your trucks with 10k in incentives...I bet Ford's profit margin is greatly reduced with those incentives.
SuperSportKing 5pts I would love to type that but this website won't let and yes I prefer to be offensive
LoCO 5pts @SuperSportKing "F.ag"? Really? Was that supposed to be some kind of insult? From a prepubescent teen maybe? What, you don't have the guts to type it properly? As for having a life, you and bromance partner Cali-lifer spend more time on here than anybody else. Take your own advice, fanboy. The ones who feel the need to throw insults are the biggest, whinny crybabies. Can't win in a battle of wits, so throw the insults. Don't be so sensitive, little man.Take your head out of your arse and you might see that there is a life beyond your fanboyism. Some fine fanboys MT has.
Yoma 5pts @CALI-LIFER @Yoma You wouldnt be sure. The Camry might get a refresh next year which might boost sales up even more...
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Yoma That's why I keep saying next year. The ram has the potential to out sell the chevy imo.
Yoma 5pts @CALI-LIFER @Yoma Youll take the win? What win? The Ram is too far back to catch up to the Camry. We only have 2 months left to go...
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Mike the car nut I have my auction access card so I see cars go for dirt cheap!! Mostly out of ADESA or Manheim. I then turn and sell them on CL.
Mike the car nut 5pts @Madison93x The one's I'm looking were actually from a used car dealer, not a private seller. And if I can get the same product cheaper on Craigslist, why wouldn't I go there first instead of somewhere else where I get ripped off more???
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Madison93x I can get anyone a 03 camry for 3-4 grand! clean title and tags under 100k miles!! that's why I sell used cars. by the way fun fact, there are more registered 10 YRS OLD fords then any other car company and I read that article here on MT. HAVE A NICE DAY!! VIVA LA GRAN CR!! LMFAO!!
Madison93x 5pts @Mike the car nut @corinthianz2006 Everything is cheaper on Craigslist. Look anywhere else though and you'll see that corinthianz2006 is right. A used Camry with 90k on the clock is generally around 8-9 grand which is crazy for a car with almost 100k miles but that's what happens when you're thought of as on of the most reliable cars. To a certain degree, I agree. I would feel much more comfortable purchasing a used Camry with 90k than almost any other midsized car. Every car breaks, I know, but even if something was broken it would be much, much cheaper to fix. This is how the rest of the world thinks, thus this is why the Camry does so well in the market.
iodelia 5pts @RWS928s @iodelia that's still a good deal. I think I just got really lucky. I got the internet sales manager to quote me a price in writing of $19,400, no power seat, no mats. Ended up walking out paying with tax/fees $21,390 out the door and because they couldn't find the car they promised they had and only had one with power seats and mats and my wife and I would not budge of they price they quoted us we got it with more optionsI love the car, it's exactly what I need. But I also understand it is not for everyone, maybe no car is. Every person is going to have different needs so different cars will be the best for them. I was drooling over the 2014 Mazda 6 when I saw it online. But it didn't have the same effect on my in person. It had nice lines and the red color was awesome, but it didn't look like the super car I thought is was in person and no one in Atlanta had more than 6 in stock… meanwhile the Toyota dealer had 62 Camry's in stock. Better bargaining power. And I absolutely researched and test drove the competition and they would only work for me in the higher trims I couldn't afford. Optima- seat headrests ( I know crazy but they really hurt during the test drive) and engine sound= deal killer. Sonata- We have a 2010 Elantra with 60,000 that feels like it going to fall apart so I don't trust Hyundai Accord- new CVT, radio and I didn't want the all cloth interior.Altima - Rented on a trip, it did not make me want to buy one in the lower trim level.Fusion, Malibu, Passat - all seem to have to many issues for me to bother with.
RWS928s 5pts @iodelia You did better than me iodelia. I bought an LE with power seat and mats that stickered for a bit over 24k for $19,998 out the door. After the first 1,000 miles I finally took it on the highway for a 350 mile trip and obtained a bit over 39 mpg averaging 67 mph with the air con on. Smooth ride and quick shifting transmission. The new traction control is so good in the rain with the Michelins that I never slip the front wheels unlike my old 2000 Camry. Very nice, smooth, and roomy car.
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Yoma that's cause you don't know jack, Jack!! Did you not see Fords profit last month? 1.6 billion the most I think than any other company I think.
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Yoma The camry has less profit than the Fseries. Theres room for that. And selling almost twice as many might help too!!
Yoma 5pts @CALI-LIFER @Yoma Your best selling vehicle? Ohh, you mean the one with 6K incentives and 50% of them going to fleets? Yeah, that one...
CALI-LIFER 5pts @Yoma it was actually 21k but that not what is was talking about. im talking about our best selling vehicle. bahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahaha!! SUCKA!
Yoma 5pts @CALI-LIFER @Yoma Lets see, Ford only sold 18000 Fusions, take away 1/3 and thats less than 1300 Fusions sold to the actual people...
Yoma 5pts @CALI-LIFER @Yoma Reliability is also another #1 for me. Are there any #1's for you? I dont think so...

Similar Items:8-voice MMT synth engine, 17 effects, built-in vocoder and mic, modulation, and more.
For years, the microKORG has been a top-selling synthesizer. Now the microKORGXL is ready to join KORG's popular lineup. Based on the same winning combination of a small footprint, 37 mini-keys, battery-powered portability, and huge KORG sound, the microKORG XL Modeling Synth is ready to expand your musical vocabulary. The fun factor is huge too. A gooseneck microphone is included for instant vocoding excitement, right out of the box.
Neo-Vintage Synth Power
The microKORG XL synthesizer carries a proud pedigree. The MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) sound engine is descended from the RADIAS/R3 synthesizers, while the dual effects processors come down from the famous KAOSS line. The black key/white key proportions have been adjusted for easier chording and playability; the key response has been improved for rapid-fire soloing. The square front keys give it that old-school feel too. Together with a sound-bending vocoder and six-pattern arpeggiation, KORG's microKORG XL packs a powerful sonic punch.
The 8-voice MMT synth engine offers traditional analog waveforms plus a total of 7 algorithms, including formant waveforms, noise, and PCM/DWGS waves for those vintage keyboards and strings. Cross-modulation, unison stacking, and VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) let you create sounds that would be impossible for a conventional PCM synthesizer. Sync and ring modulation make it easy to create complex and powerful sounds. Two multi-mode filters, a drive/wave-shaping circuit for distinctively distorted sounds, and EG and LFO for creating time-varying tonal change, provide plenty of parameters for serious synthesis. Virtual Patching brings it all together.
Seventeen up-to-the-minute effects deliver everything from a traditional chorus to grain shifting. In the delay, effects can be synchronized to MIDI clock for beat-sensitive situations. You can even process external sounds. The microKORG XL's amazing vocoder adds vocal characteristics to any sound, creating everything from talk-box filtering, pseudo choirs, talking instruments to vintage Sci-Fi robots. KORG's unique Formant Hold allows you to freeze the vocal input for continuous vocoder effects. Use the Formant Shift function to adjust the level and pan of each of the 16 bands, greatly altering the tonal character. The distinctive retro-styling allows for quick selection of any of the microKORG XL's 128 on-board, editable programs. For the diehard synthesists and sound designers, you can use the 3 performance edit knobs for fast, effective audio editing in performance. You're also free to select and assign your favorite parameters. Download the free editing software from the KORG website and manage sounds on your computer.
Get a taste of the classic Korg sound with this new mini synth. Order today.

Smart choices I made this week...

1) I had three
of Mom's b-day cake, instead of three pieces.
2) I made the choice to make one evening visit to the fridge grabbing red/green/yellow peppers instead of making repeat visits resulting in frustration over what I want to grab and devour, but shouldn't.
3)Here's the kicker: While volunteering in my community, a candy merchant came by with samples of home-made sponge candy. This is one of my all time favorites and highly addictive for me. I decided to kindly decline, knowing there was birthday cake coming later. It was a killer turn down, (very emotional for me) but I felt like a stronger woman after I had a time of pouting in my head and moved on.
Justice at the scale: down 1.6 this week.

Congratulations on your good choices! In my sons school they give "good choice tickets" for students who make good choices. They are then redeemable for stickers, erasers, pencils and other fun goodies. Maybe you should reward yourself with something fun...and non food related of course. My reward this week for staying on track is going to be a new bottle of nail polish
luv all those new spring colors! It's not weigh in day yet for me, but I couldn't resist peeking this morning...down 2 lbs after the weekend woohoo!....two more days till weigh in.

asagohan: That is so great! It's always good when you can figure that out before you've regretted the splurge. Realizing something is not worth the points after the fact is the pits.I was very thankful when Krispy Cream left my hometown. I'm proud to say I've never had one. However, my boss provides the staff with the top donut in town every Friday - Paula's in Kenmore NY. They smell divine. Again - all these years and I've yet to try one. Have a great program day tomorrow!

This is so inspiring to read. It can be SO hard to turn down certain things, and we can get upset beyond the point on what is reasonable when we can't have it our way. But once we're past the pouting, we get this amazing feeling of accomplishment that makes us SO much stronger. It's oh so worth it.

Congrats! That is a great acomplishment! I was asked to bring dessert to a function tonight. I made a salted-caramel double chocolate peanut butter pie!! Yes it is as sinful and AMAZING as it sounds. I am "proud" that I did not take one lick of any of the ingredients while making it. That is a feat in itself and I end up with caramel, chocolate and pb all over my hands. Not one lick! Now lets see if I can get through the evening w/out diving in face first!

Oh Leslie, that is SO hard! Good job
We had birthday cupcakes in my classroom for a child, and as I was passing them out taking the wrappers off I got frosting ALL over my hands. After I finished, I went to the sink and washed it all off. Was a good moment.

Analogue: For me it tastes like a little bit of heaven - there's just no eating a "little bit" though. My sister makes and sells it for additional income. She'll send over light chocolate, dark chocolate, orange chocolate sponge candy - last time I turned it away. She should know better. Should you ever get up toward Western NY, I'd say drop in at Watsons Candies and try a piece. Maybe it won't do to you what it does to me.

I'm from Canada and you can get it pretty much everywhere here. It tends to be more popular just plain, without the chocolate coating. And we also call it Sponge Toffee. To describe the flavor, it's kind of a burnt sugar/caramel taste with a salty edge to it (from the addition of baking soda that makes its foamy texture). I think it's the texture that makes it unique, though. To compare it to something else, I'd say it was a lot like spray foam insulation! In texture... not the taste! LOL.

For me, a lick of frosting would hurt because I wouldn't stop there. Plus, it feels good having self control, and that gives me a boost emotionally.

Course Descriptions
Florence city of
museums. Museum Studies and History of Museums. Researching the history of those collections treasured in a given museum also serves to identify and to represent identity and continuity for the cultural heritage of any modern society at times of grand global changes. Renaissance Philosophy of Art To appreciate Michelangelo's great achievements in sculpture, painting, and architecture students will be exposed to the thought of philosophers and artists who shaped the development of Florentine Humanism and influenced Michelangelo: from Plato, Aristotle and Plotinus to Dante, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Donatello, Alberti, Marsilio Ficino and Pico della Mirandola. To assist students in achieving a rigorous interrogation of the meaning and value of beauty and art in Renaissance Italy we will fully approach Buonarroti's art theories. To this end, special study will be made of how specific moral, social, religious and philosophical tendencies can be read from Michelangelo's art as well as of his contemporaries. |

text: I just got prescribed trazodone to help with insomnia. I was told to take 50-100mg before bed. I have also been taking 300-400mg of 5-htp to help with mood during the day. I told the doc and he didn't think much of it. I have read up some, and saw the combination can lead to serotonin syndrome. Are my doses of each low enough that it shouldn't be a problem? or should I cut something out?

NORTHFIELD -- After five years and a combined five Western Massachusetts titles, a couple of well-established Mount Greylock seniors bid farewell to their respective programs after Saturday's MIAA Division II State Championship Meet.
Kat Chenail and Will Kirby ran in their final race Saturday and both set personal records at Northfield Recreation Center.
"For me, it was less about it being states and more about it being my last race ever," Kirby said. "I mean I was planning on leaving my high school career out on that course. I really gave it everything I had."
Last week, Kirby led the Mounties to their third straight Western Massachusetts title. He finished fourth, with a time of 17:44.85. He wanted to top that time on Saturday -- and did.
He was the second North County runner to cross the line and finished in 46th overall place. He chopped 12 seconds off his previous time, finishing in 17:32.09.
Chenail and her Mountie teammates just missed a third straight Western Mass. title last week, losing to Lenox by nine points. Before her career was finished she wanted to make sure she got a little revenge.
"I almost think it's that there is less pressure this week," she said. "There wasn't that team pressure I mean, we still wanted to beat Lenox -- and I think we did. But there are just so many people out there that you have no idea where you are. You just run your best time."
The Mounties grabbed a little revenge for last week's loss to the Millionaires, finishing seventh overall while Lenox was 15th. Chenail was the only senior to run for the Mounties on Saturday. She helped lead the charge, finishing as the second Mountie across the finish line.
"I hope she helped bridge some of the championships to the next year's runners," coach Larry Bell said with a laugh. "Last week she dropped a minute off of her [personal record], and this week she chopped another 25 seconds. When you're already among the leaders in Western Mass. that is just unheard of.
"Part of her legacy is naming me 'troll man' and teaching the younger girls how to goof off and be obnoxious. But hopefully, it will include her training habits and racing, as well."
Like Kirby, Chenail wanted to soak up every last second of her high school career.
"I told coach Bell I was being nostalgic today," she said. "I wore my 2008 top 5 shirt and my 2008 states sweatshirt. I was really just looking back at who was on the team then.
"It's just so weird, we have a seventh-grader on our states team this year, and when she's a senior she'll have a sweatshirt with my name on it and everyone will wonder who that is."

PALM COAST, Fla. --The hunt is on right now for a man who shot and killed a local woman at the Mobil gas station along East State Route 100 in Palm Coast.
Investigators say the suspect is seen on video coming into the gas station, pulling a shirt over his face and then shooting.
Zuheily Rosado, 32, was shot and killed behind the store counter.
Action News hasn't been told exactly what time this happened, but we did learn a customer came into the store Thursday night around 10:20 and found Rosado dead.
That customer called 911, prompting investigators and K9's to respond.
Police believe the shooter is a light-skinned man standing 5'10." He was seen in jeans and a dark shirt and driving north on I-95.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement, State Attorney's Office and the Volusia County Sheriff's Office have been called to investigate, along with Flagler County.

World Press Photo Contest
There will always be a handful of events that define a year, the history making moments and movements that will go down as the ones to remember, but between those landmarks stretch the mundane minutiae of human life, the everyday loss, despair, triumphs and joy. Our history wouldn't be one without the other, and the entries in the World Press Photo exhibition, returning to Dublin after a 20 year hiatus, eloquently capture the entire spectrum of human existence. The spectacle that was the London Olympics, the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the terror of gang war, the simple act of waking up are all captured in a single frame, and sitting beside each other each they give us the bigger picture and define the year that was. / Sophie Donaldson

OU Kosher's Rabbi Elefant Joins Zev Brenner Live Each Night to Passover
Rabbi Moshe Elefant may be most closely identified as Chief Operating Officer of OU Kosher and the magid shiur of the Orthodox Union's Daf Yomi webcast (whose 1,800 learners a day around the globe make his lectures the most popular Daf in the world). For listeners of the popular Talkline With Zev Brenner radio program, Rabbi Elefant's name has additionally become strongly identified with the Passover holiday, as he joins the host on air the for the weeks leading up to the holiday.
The program airs Monday-Thursday 8-9:00p.m. on WSNR 620 AM for the New York Metropolitan area and WJPR1640 AM for the Highland Park/Edison area. Saturday nights, the program runs 12 midnight-3:00a.m. on WMCA 570AM. Rabbi Elefant will appear every night until Passover.
"Rabbi Elefant comes from a position of great knowledge and strength, and is an individual who has received much respect from various segments of our community," shared Mr. Brenner. "Listeners really find him refreshing because his knowledge is versatile enough to handle any questions we receive. He cuts across many backgrounds, and has become very popular over the years."
For many years, Rabbi Avrohom Blumenkrantz, who compiled a yearly digest The Laws of Pesach, was Zev Brenner's guest educator on Passover-related information. After Rabbi Blumenkrantz's death in 2007, Mr. Brenner reached out to OU Kosher's Chief Executive Officer Rabbi Menachem Genack to recommend someone from the OU who would have the knowledge of Jewish law and the personality to appeal to listeners. With his deep breadth of knowledge, warm personality and gift of humor, Rabbi Elefant was nominated for the job.
"Radio format is very personal, as people are able to communicate back and forth in discussions—that's something you can't do online or in the newspaper," Zev Brenner said.
From his home in Brooklyn, Rabbi Elefant joins the show and stays on the air for as long as the conversations continue. "Sometimes I'm on the air with Zev for a half hour, other nights I'm there the full hour," noted Rabbi Elefant. "The listeners submit the topics of discussion and they range through every possible question and situation—how to kasher a dishwater for Passover, how to deal with a potential situation at a Seder? What medications are permissible during Passover?"
According to Mr. Brenner, there was such interest in Rabbi Elefant's participation on the Talkline show that this year, he brought Rabbi Elefant on air the week before Purim to respond to questions. "Jewish law instructs us to begin learning about the specific holiday laws a month in advance—we started even earlier!" noted an amused Rabbi Elefant. "I hope I make my mother proud."
