Buying a Used 3-Series
nickb81 Posts: 36Sorry...I have been looking for so long, I get all of the engines and years confused. It is a 325i. Thanks for the correction!0
nygxdriver Posts: 10Does anyone kow anything about leasing a CPO 2007 328xi? I found at a local dealer an 07 328xi 12,000 miles that i would prefer to lease over buy. the cost is $31,995. I want to lease it over 3 years (all covered by the BMW free maintenance) I would pay taxes (i live in Nassau county, NY) bank fees etc. up front. What can I expect for a monthly payment? please help!0
I'm presently driving a 2004 Volvo (S-80), which I will pass on to my son
as I'm (finally!) pursuing my dream of owning a BMW.
I'm thinking as a newbie, I should start out easy and familiarize myself with the BMW via the purchase of a CPO (3-series, sedan [325 or 328].
I don't need all the latest state-of-the-art everything (i.e., run-flat tires, navigation)...
just the comfortable and enjoyable BMW driving experience.
1) Are there any absolutely spectacular additions to the new models
that I will miss out on by opting for a CPO instead of a 2007 or 2008?
2) Are the newer (325,328) models, 2006 and 2007, necessarily better
than the older, 2004 and 2005, models? Are there major differences?
3) If you were buying a (325, or 328) CPO, which year would you choose
between 2004 and 2006?
Is there a year that stands out from the rest as your favorite? Why?0
I purchased a 2005 325Ci CPO with stick shift about one year ago, and I am very pleased with this decision. I can provide a couple notes regarding your question #3:
- The data provided last year by Consumer Reports indicates the overall reliability of the 2005 3-series was statistically better than the 2004 models. They should be releasing the 2008 automobile issue soon, with updated information. This data, along with the longer remaining warranty, is why I would again look for an '05 rather than an '04, if I was in the market now.
- Based on all I've read, I am reluctant to believe BMW made the correct choice with using RFTs on their new 3-series platform. I fail to see much of any upside. However, don't take my word for it. Check out the BMW Run Flat Tires discussion topic for yourself.
- The new platform is very nice. I had a 2006 325i as a loaner for the weekend, and it was definitely quieter than my 2005 model. It reminded me of the previous generation 528i I owned several years ago. Maybe I'm too biased, but I thought my 2005 model was more fun to drive than the 2006 325i. But if I was a passenger -- not the driver -- I'm sure I would choose that 2006 loaner over my own car.0
It reminded me of the previous generation 528i I owned several years ago.
Exactly; I'm considering an M3 sedan for my family car, I consider it to be more of a hyper-fast grand tourer, much like an E28 or E34 M5. It certainly isn't an edgy corner-carving hooligan like the original(and still the best) M3.
Maybe I'm too biased, but I thought my 2005 model was more fun to drive than the 2006 325i.
My 1995 Club Sport is definitely more fun to drive than any E90/E92 I've driven- even taking into account the massive horsepower deficit. As a matter of fact, I did think long and hard about buying a 335i sedan, but I just didn't find it involving enough, as the Brits put it. I decided to buy a very hot hatch while I wait and see what other interesting cars come down the pike...

ducatiguy Posts: 11One person's experience - I just purchased a 2005 330i automatic with premium and sport packages and xenons. Car has (had) 2250 miles as it was still with the original dealer and had not been titled, although the In Service date was 5/30/2005. Considering what I believe I gave up on my trade-in (2000 528i), I estimate my true cost was 30500. Plus, I am the beneficiary of BMW's great finance rate on 2005 CPO 3 series cars right now. While a new 328i optioned the way I want MSRPs at (just) 37,200, bottom line, I am pleased with my car and purchase.0
Thanks so much cotmc, roadburner, and ducatiguy
(love those names!)
Of course, I'll have to test drive a few myself, but I really appreciate other experiences and points of view...
and since I know little about BMW's (and have a limited knowledge of cars in general), this info is very helpful to me.
(love those names!)
That reminds me... I might want to change my name in here. It's an acronym given to me by a former co-worker: Car Of The Month Club. :blush: That was back in the mid- to late-90's when I was an engineer working telecom; when my wife and I were still DINKs. Lately, we've been holding onto our automobiles for at least 2-3 years each.
I'm not as much of a car enthusiast as roadburner, but even so, I am a big fan of several BMW models. The E46 platform with the Sports Suspension provides me with an ideal fun-to-drive experience, without the suspension harshness of some other sports models. Kudos as well to the spot-on steering feel as well as its relatively thrifty fuel economy. I purchased the extended maintenance plan for my '05 325Ci, and I plan to keep this car until shortly before the CPO warranty expires in April 2011.
My wife drives an '04 X3, which was also purchased as a CPO vehicle. We both think it is an awesome little SUV -- nearly perfect for our small family. In the past 10 years we've owned/leased other models by Lexus, Acura, Volvo, Audi, and Toyota; but we've enjoyed these BMWs the most.0
I might want to change my name in here.
If you seriously want to do that, email Karen, the Forums Community Manager, and ask what you need to do - karen AT edmunds.com.
I'd hate to see you do that, though. You are well known as cotmc. Oh wait... is that the problem?? :shades:0
Thanks, Pat!
I honestly didn't think I was well known... at least not much, anymore.
I guess the hosts haven't forgotten about the infamous Town Hall Riot of '99?? :blush: :P0
Hah! The hosts don't forget a thing! Nuttin' at all!!! :P0
randyjstark Posts: 41Hey everyone.
This is one of my first posts in the BMW forum, and am looking at getting either a used 2007 BMW 3 series 335i or a new 2008 infiniti g35x.
I found a used 335i with 16000 miles on it, but it appears to be a BMW buyback car. When I asked what was wrong with the car, the dealership said that the "check engine light" was coming on, and that they had no more details as to why it was bought back by BMW. Since I live in PA, the carfax would be clean-titled so it would not show up as a buy back when I go to resell the car. However, if I go to a BMW dealer, they will see that it is a "buyback"
In any event, the car seems almost fully loaded has some great options which are as follows:
Cold Weather pckg
Sport pckg
Automatic Trans
Brushed Alumninum
Ambient Light
Satellite Radio
Premium Pckg
Comfort Access pckg
logic 7 sound
paddle shifters.
MSRP of the car was about $50,000 (i saw the original window sticker) and I have the dealer down to $35,000 including tax. I will most likely put ~5000 down to reduce my interest and monthly payments.
KBB shows this car at 16,000 miles with similar configuration to be about $43,000
Considering this is a buy-back should I try negotiating even lower than the price the dealer and I have thus far agreed upon? This seems like a tremendous deal to me, with the MFG warranty expiring in Oct of 2010, but I am a bit skeptical with the BMW buyback thing. What has your experience with a BMW buyback been? --Is the dealer trying to not tell me everything and if so, how do I find out what REALLY was wrong with the car?
Much thanks,
ronaries10 Posts: 64Of course, the price & car are attractive. Things you want to know are:
1. what has the dealer/service done since they took the car back to remedy problems?
2. Is the warranty a true warranty and not the service pkg extended.
3. Will BMW see if previous owner will consent to talk or email you re car history . Or can you otherwise find/contact previous owner?
4. How much inconvenience will your personal schedule tolerate if the car turns out to have above average trouble?
5. Do you have any basis to "trust the dealer" more than any other new car dealer - IMHO you could be asking for disappointment here- they are there to sell cars, and some are more honest and knowledgeable than others.
Good Luck whichever way you go.

smurg Posts: 1I was wondering if anyone knows why my light for the mileage and outside temp wont go out when i shut the car off in my 2001 325xi, i recently charged the battery and it was hooked up correctly and the problem started then i believe. Mabey it was on before which caused the battery to drain??????any thoughts, thanks Scott0
sake Posts: 11We found a 1997 M3 with 138,500 miles on it that we are very interested in purchasing. This would be our 3rd car & more of a project car than a daily driver. The seller agreed to take it to a BMW dealership in order to have a pre-purchase inspection performed on the vehicle prior to us purchasing it. Are there any thing that anyone can think of that we should specfically look out for? Thanks so much!0
bfluegie Posts: 21I'm looking at a 2006 325xi with almost 25k miles. It has premium package, satellite radio, cold weather package, wood trim, manual transmission, split rear seats. Dealer price is almost $31K. The free carfax report (cars.com) showed no problems (although I can no longer view the free report--the link sends me to a page that asks me to pay for the report). The car was returned from a two year lease and is offered by a BMW dealer as certified pre-owned. Does this seem like a good deal? How much negotiation room should I expect on this car?
I've also been looking at the Infiniti G35 which I can get new for about invoice by the VPP. I really like the Audi A3 V-6, but I don't want to pay almost $40K new and used are hard to come by. The 325xi is roomier than the A3 and gets better mileage than the G35. I do want to make sure I am getting a good deal, though. Any suggestions for negotiating?0
jakestermd Posts: 1I'm comparing two similarly equipped 330 convertibles; 04 330 with only 9500 miles, sport, premium and 18 inch wheels for around $32k versus a 05 330 with with 30k miles, sport, premium pkgs for $29k. The 04 has the std mfg warranty expiring 7/08 while the 05 std mfg warranty goes to 3/09. Both are in excellent condition. Any recommendations?0
03cobra Posts: 37Anyone know if there is a minimum term, such as 12 or 24 months, where BMW will still make the first 2 payments? Also, does the dealer have to kick in anything? If the dealer has to contribute, then it will effect the final negotiated price.0
There is no dealer contribution..
That's an interesting question... I'm guessing there is some sort of payment limit on the financing... but, I don't know..
2 free payments on a 12-month loan...
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!

I need another car in the family and have been looking for a new one with all the latest safety features. It will be driven only about 7-8k a year, but I might want to keep it in the family for 10 years or so. A new car with ESC will run me at least $15k + TT&L; options include Elantra SE, Sonata GLS, and Optima LX. I've also been considering used cars. For $14k or less I could get something like a 2005 Jetta A5 with relatively low miles and ESC.
Or... what about a 2003 325i with 73k for under $14k?? I've always wanted a 3-Series, so I started thinking about this after I looked online at what's available around town. I've heard that maintenance costs on a Bimmer will be very high. This one might be in great shape (haven't seen it yet, it's at my local BMW dealer) but it's at least 5 years old with 73k miles on it. FE won't be great, but given how little I drive that won't be a killer. And it does have all the safety features I want. And it's a 3-Series. I know my daughter won't mind getting it in a few years... if I give it up. And I'm not sure I'd want to put a car like that in the hands of a 17-year-old--safety features or not.
So what do you think... is this a really stupid idea? Should I go with the new low-end car with a long warranty, and likely low maintenance costs, or a "mature" 3-Series?0
Mr_Shiftright Sonoma, CaliforniaPosts: 64,490Well 73K is just about at the cusp when a 3-series *might* be needing some things, so I'd certainly have all the usual trouble spots carefully examined.
Certainly it's a better idea than buying a used Jetta IMO. Jetta reliability ratings are not good.0
srs_49 Posts: 1,394I'm partial to 3 series BMW's (driving an '87 right now). But, if you have to rely on a dealer to do all the repairs and maintenance, they ain't cheap to keep up.
Have you considered an Acura TL in the same price range?0
That's a thought. There's a few 2003 TLs in my area for around $14k with around 70k miles (those seem to be the magic numbers, don't they?). It would likely be more reliable than a 3-Series, but it doesn't have all the safety equipment the 3-Series does, e.g. side curtain airbags and ESC. That is one reason I like the 3-Series. And of course, a TL is not a 3-Series. Another one I thought about is the S80; 2002s with about 60k miles start under $13k. Those have curtain airbags, not sure about ESC. But the S80 isn't a 3-Series either. Lots of choices...0
Our '03 325i averaged about 26 mpg in suburban commuting... We were pretty happy with that. Sold it to friends, who are still driving it with about 60K miles.. Since the free maintenance expired, they've replaced one window regulator ($90 for the part) and had a dealer do the 60K service for $530.
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!

That is good to hear about the FE--I've heard the 3-Series does pretty well in that area, for a 6-cylinder. And the 60k service wasn't too bad either--that's not much more than what a dealer would charge for the service on an Elantra.0
They shopped it... the other dealer in town was $200 higher..
It was a really nice car.. still is.. Our friends love it!

The E46 has proven to be durable and reliable. The six cylinders need a water pump at @60K intervals but other than that there really aren't any major problems. I also recommend that you have the car inspected by a good BMW tech. The E46 3er is a great car, and there are enough of them around that you can afford to be selective. As for maintenance and repair, here's a brief overview:
On an E46 some services are determined by time, some by mileage, and some by the on-board Service Interval(SI) system(which calculates service based on driving conditions).
The time based services are: Brake Fluid(every 2 years) and Coolant(every 3 years)
The mileage based services are: Spark Plugs, ATF, and Oxygen Sensors(every 100K miles for all three).
The SI system has 3 levels of service: Oil Service, Inspection I, and Inspection II. An Oil Service is called for at 15K intervals(or every year, whichever comes first). It is just an oil change.
The Inspection I rolls up at 30K; it is an oil change, a cabin air filter change, and a comprehensive inspection of the car.
Inspection II occurs around 60K and is essentially an Inspection I + an engine air filter change.
If you are planning on flipping the car in a couple of years I'd just follow the BMW schedule. However if you're going to hang on to it for a while I'd advise changing the transmission fluid(slushbox OR manual) every 60K at least. Ditto for the final drive oil. If you take your 3er to the track I'd reduce those mileage intervals by 50%. I change the engine oil on mt 3er at 7.5K intervals due to the fact that it sees the track every so often and my wife's X3 chews up its oil in less than 9K miles(based on used oil analysis). Some people go 15K without any problem but I'm not one of them.

Thanks for the very informative post! I was wondering about those "Inspections" and their intervals.0
ashleymarie Posts: 5Hello,
I am currently looking to buy a used car....I have found 2 cars that I love...a 02 audi a4 and a 01 BMW 330i. Both have alomst 100,000 miles on them....should I buy and what should I ask the dealer? Thanks!0
My only experience is with BMWs. If you are serious about the 330i you need to have it thoroughly inspected by a tech who knows BMWs. I'd set aside @$75 per month for repairs and maintenance. Maintenance costs will be reasonable if you find a good dealer or independent BMW tech. Whatever you do, don't scrimp on maintenance.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Social Service Agency Refused to Accommodate Long-Term Employee With Multiple Sclerosis And Denied Her Rehire, Federal Agency Charges
ST. LOUIS - An East St. Louis, Ill., non-profit social service agency violated federal law by subjecting an employee to disability discrimination and retaliation, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a discrimination lawsuit filed today. The EEOC charged that Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center (CBHC) refused to provide a reasonable accommodation to a disabled employee and then failed to rehire her after she was laid off because of her disability, and in retaliation for complaining about the lack of accommodation.
According to the EEOC's suit, Pamela Perry, a 23-year employee with CBHC, requested permission to wear athletic shoes to work in June 2002 because her disability, multiple sclerosis, caused numbness, pain and tingling in her feet. CBHC allowed her to wear athletic shoes until March 2010 when it disciplined her for wearing the shoes in violation of the dress code. Shortly thereafter, Perry made a written request for reasonable accommodation to help her complete paperwork required by her job. The MS made her hands and arms cramp and it had become increasingly difficult for her to complete paperwork in a timely fashion. Perry also again requested permission to wear athletic shoes. CBHC refused to meet with Perry to discuss possible accommodations and denied her requests. On Aug. 29, 2010, Perry wrote a letter to CBHC complaining about its refusal to accommodate her. When she was laid off on Aug. 31, 2010, she then applied for a vacant position that she had held previously for 11 years. CBHC instead hired a less qualified applicant, the EEOC said.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits employers from refusing to provide applicants and employees with reasonable accommodations unless to do so would be an undue hardship. It also protects employees from retaliation based on the exercise of their right to request accommodation and their complaints about violations of the law. The EEOC filed suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center of St. Clair County, Inc.) in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, Civil Action No. 3:12-cv-01031-WDS-SCW, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
"It is shocking that an organization like Comprehensive Behavioral Health Center, whose mission is to help those in need, would deny reasonable accommodation to a disabled 23-year employee and then refuse to rehire her in a job that she had performed in the past," said Barbara A. Seely, regional attorney of the EEOC's St. Louis District. "Employers may not cast off disabled employees who want to and can work with accommodations without running afoul of the law."
CBHC, a non-profit corporation that provides emotional, rehabilitative and social support services throughout the Illinois cities of East St. Louis, Belleville and Fairview Heights.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Otago Farmers Market
Otago Farmers Market is a vibrant experience. Situated next to the railway station, it is in an ideal location to catch both locals and tourists.
For a small market it has a fantastic atmosphere and great buzz as I made my way from stall to stall, mostly following the various smells. Arriving on an empty stomach wasn't a bad idea as I was spoilt for choice on what I could have there and then. Cakes, burgers, sandwiches, fruits, and crepes all ready to be consumed. I stopped at The Porridge-Bar and was welcomed by a chap who was eager to tell me all about their product. I was handed a bowl filled with porridge and despite never liking it, I scoffed the lot.
As I made my way through the crowds I started to notice something all the stalls had in common other than selling their product. There was no feeling of big consumer brands or people who had been put through hours of staff training. Instead a personal, welcoming and friendly chat from people proud of what they have produced. No customer seemed to outweigh another and the same warm service was given to each person, whether they were browsing or buying.
I was glad to be immersed in something local which is regarded very highly and supported brilliantly. Although I am touring around New Zealand in my truck and limited with regards to food space, I could easily take home bags full of meat, fruit, vegetables, herbs, wine and pastries.

Decision : CONF 201 VII.C.22
SOC: Virunga National Park (Zaire)
VII.22 Virunga National Park (Zaire)
The Committee recalled that Virunga National Park was included on the List of World Heritage in Danger in December 1994, due to the tragic events in Rwanda and the subsequent massive influx of refugees from that country. Virunga National Park, situated on the border between Rwanda and Uganda, has been destabilized by the uncontrolled arrival of refugees, causing illegal extraction of wood and poaching at the site.
The Centre wrote to the authorities requesting that the World Heritage Committee be informed about any action to be undertaken to stop illegal operations within the site and to improve control in the Park. The Centre and IUCN are in contact with several NGOs working in the area and a mission was organized together with WWF to the site in order to evaluate its state of conservation and to strengthen cooperation between the different international assistance agencies working to protect the site. The mission was carried out from 15 to 30 April 1996 and the results were reported to the twentieth session of the Bureau, including priorities for granting international assistance.
The Secretariat informed the Committee on the current situation which has deteriorated due to the influx of refugees into the Park. Different UN and relief agencies present in the region were contacted by the Centre and a meeting with GTZ representatives was organized on 2 December 1996 in UNESCO Headquarters. Discussions were also held with the Canadian authorities on including a conservation specialist in the Canadian-led forces and UNHCR teams.
The Committee had considerable discussion on this human tragedy and recalled the opening speech by the Director-General in which he emphasized that while protecting natural and cultural sites, one should never lose sight of protecting human life, which is the top priority. The Committee underlined the special situation in Zaire and called upon the international community to help resolve this tragic situation.
Taking into account the presence of thousands of refugees, the Committee expressed its deep concern about the continuing degradation of the Park and the human tragedy and encouraged the Centre to work with the authorities for the coordination of international assistance and to retain the site on the List of World Heritage in Danger.

Earlier tonight... Twitter was abuzz about the blackout in Sri Pentas, TV3's office.
That was the first tweet I read. Tak sampai seminit mula berduyun tweet mengenai 1 Utama pun blackout tiba-tiba.
The photos came fast and furious, a majority of which were people cam-whoring in the dark. Don't ask me why as I can't even to begin to make sense of why one would do that in a blackout.
Then the real news started coming out. Apparently, a fire broke out in 1 Utama. Quite horrific really, as the first thing I thought about was the Empire Mall explosion not too long ago. Except in this case, 1 Utama was fully within operation hours. And peak hours, mind you.

Sansa Clip + MP3 Player
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
SanDisk, maker of everyone's favorite microSDs, released the Clip a while ago, hoping that people would warm up to playing MP3s off of their specially made music cards instead of going to iTunes. It didn't exactly revolutionize the digital music industry, but the company is obviously still high on the idea, what with the release of the Sansa Clip +.
The Clip + is supposedly "one of the best sounding MP3 players on the market," and it features the microSD slot, a one-inch OLED display visible under sunlight, an FM tuner with 40 preset stations, and even a microphone for voice recording. You should be able to get the Sansa Clip + now in 2GB ($39.99), 4GB ($49.99), and 8GB ($69.99) models in red, blue, or black. Amazon is selling them at a 13% discount.

Bleeding Edge TV 315: Zune HD hands-on Interface Preview
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Features, Handhelds, HDTV, Microsoft, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Videocasts, Videos, Wireless / WiFi,
We were able to spend some quality time with the Zune HD a couple of days ago, and we put together this video walkthrough of the interface on the device. Unfortunately, we weren't connected to Wi-Fi, so we weren;t able to show web browsing, downloading from the Marketplace, or Social, but this gives you a really good idea of what to expect when you get pick up your Zune HD (available for pre-order now) come September 15th.
Our favorite feature? I'll probably be using the pinned items on the side quite a bit, especially for the recently synched stuff. Quick access to things like that have been much needed on touch devices. A runner up would have to be the quick scroll in the music browser. Again, it saves you on just quickly swiping a bunch of times, hoping to get to the right spot.
All in all, we're impressed. Of course, we will have a full Zune HD review when we get our own device. For now, be sure to read up on everything we know about the Zune HD.
It's official: Zune HD launching September 15, $220 16GB, $290 32GB
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, HDTV, Microsoft, Music, Portable Audio / Video,
That's right, Microsoft has finally let the cat out of the bag on all the Zune HD info we've been craving, and we've got the full scoop for you right here. First and foremost, the Zune HD goes on sale on September 15, and will be available in 16GB and 32GB size capacities. The two units are identical in every way, other than storage capacity, so let's run down some of those specs.
- Built-in HD Radio receiver
- 720p HD video output through a premium dock (costs extra)
- OLED touchscreen: 3-3-inches, 16:9, scratch-resistant glass
- Built-in 802.11b/g Wi-Fi
- Web browser
- NVIDIA Tegra low-power HD processor
The Onyx Black 16GB Zune HD will sell for $219.99, while the Platinum Silver 32GB model will sell for $290 - compare that to the $299 and $399 prices for the 16GB and 32GB iPod touch, respectively. If you aren't down with black or platinum, wait until September 15, and you'll be able to pick from five other colors through the Zune Originals program. We've got even more specs for you after the cut, but if you've heard all you needed to hear and want to pre-order the device immediately, head on over to Amazon where you can find the 32GB Silver Zune HD, as well as the 16GB Black model.

Zune HD gets handled, loved
Posted by Mark Rollins Categories: Handhelds, Microsoft, Portable Audio / Video,
Sure, the Zune has been the butt of a lot of jokes since its first debut, but in all seriousness, we believe the Zune device is better than the iPod classic, and that the Zune software beats iTunes, hands down. Now, the Zune HD is preparing to make an impact, and it's nothing to sneeze at. We've told you about it before, but to refresh your memory a bit, CNET got to spend a little time with the device that boasts the ability to view rented Zune Marketplace Xbox content, "lightning fast" browser, and OLED screen goodness. Oh, and don't forget about that whole 720p output for HDTV thing.

They are available in six different colors including mint white, pink white, orange black, red black, lovely pink, and green black. Pricing details have yet to be announced.

Archos Clipper: Another addition to the minimalist MP3 Player market
Sure, Apple has the iPod shuffle, Creative has the Zen Stone, Sansa has the Clip, and it appears that Archos has entered this mini-MP3 Player market with the Clipper.
There is not much that can be said about this particular MP3 Player except what we have seen before in similar minimalist Portable Media Players (PMPs). That is, a simple downloading of audio files via USB, and minimal buttons for less complications. As usual, the memory is about 2GB, and the price is low at $30.

In response to questions concerning a possible congressional run for the seat held by U.S. Rep Trey Radel, who was arrested for possession of cocaine, Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott has issued the following statement as clarification of his position "for once and for all":
Much has been said and written since the startling revelations that Congressman Trey Radel bought cocaine from undercover cops in our nation's capitol. While Radel returned to his Congressional office following a microwave stint in rehab and a gaggle of rehearsed apologies, I have hundreds of inmates in our jail that are unable to return to their home due to similar or lesser drug offenses. The sad reality is that Trey Radel does not even qualify to drive a Lee County school bus at this point, yet he occupies a seat in Congress. I have fired Deputies for less and the brave military personnel potentially affected by a Radel vote would be dishonorably discharged had they done what he did. Surely nobody believes that Trey Radel is the very best that Southwest Florida has to represent us.
Media professionals like Patrick Nolan (FOX), Kellie Burns (NBC), and Amanda Ballard (WINK) have done remarkable jobs pressing Radel with legitimate questions we all deserve answers to but he continues to sing out of tune with choreographed replies. He reduces hard questions about his cocaine use to a testimony of alcoholism and refuses to come clean about specifics that would lend perspective to the depth of his criminal behavior. Specifics the people he represents deserve answers (too). Was he abusing alcohol and/or using drugs during his campaign? Did his wife know of these transgressions when she was on television touting her husband's integrity and fitness to serve? Why did he wait so long to announce his misdeeds and how could he possibly go through with that high dollar fundraiser in Grey Oakes just days after his arrest? The depth of his deceit seems bottomless as he expects us to believe that the political cycle just around the corner is the furthest thing from his mind. Then why go through with that fundraiser? Why contact candidate rehabilitation experts during his brief time in rehab? Why not do the honorable thing and step down? The answers are clear to me. Trey Radel hopes the bar and standard in our country has been lowered to the point that he can limbo back into office despite his inexcusable conduct.
Trey Radel was not properly vetted during his inaugural run for office and despite red flags like his penchant for pornographic websites; he was elevated to a pedestal by lapdogs like the News-Press who now try to retreat from their glowing endorsements.
I have been overwhelmed by the call from many that I run for Radel's seat, and though humbled, I am a man of unwavering commitment to my position as Sheriff and my chosen career in law enforcement. I wish Trey Radel all the best in his personal life; however, I will be a staunch advocate for his political replacement, and I plan to vigorously support viable candidates at every opportunity. Whatever political capital I have will be brought to bear ensuring that the decency we deserve is restored to the 19th congressional district.

San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt will have his attention divided leading up to Sunday's Divisional Round Weekend showdown with the Denver Broncos.
A source informed of the coach's schedule has told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that Whisenhunt has three interviews scheduled for the next three days.
Per Rapoport, Whisenhunt met with the Detroit Lions on Thursday, followed by an interview with the Tennessee Titans on Friday and the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Whiz is viewed as the favorite in Detroit, but he's not officially allowed to accept any job while the Chargers are in the playoffs.
It's interesting to note the dichotomy between the two offensive bosses in this week's matchup. Whereas Broncos coordinator Adam Gase has postponed all interview requests until his season is over, Whisenhunt has three interviews planned in as many days leading up to the big game -- even if all three teams are flying in to meet with the Chargers assistant.
Whisenhunt has made it clear that he's not distracted by the interview process and that "everything else is secondary" to his prepartion for Sunday's game.
Friday afternoons and Saturdays are down times in the weekly NFL game-planning schedule. There's little reason to believe that Whisenhunt's time away will give the Broncos a competitive advantage.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" featured a very special in-studio visit from Bears star Brandon Marshall.

Author: Neuharth invented a new-style newspaper
Al Neuharth taught the newspaper industry that change was important to avoid risking the loss of its audience, says author and USA TODAY watcher John Hartman.
USA TODAY founder Al Neuharth, who died Friday, will be remembered as the "foremost journalism educator of the 20th century," according to John K. Hartman, author of two books about USA TODAY.
"Neuharth launched the national daily newspaper on Sept. 15, 1982, at a time when the daily newspaper industry was beginning to slip and lose its grip on younger readers," Hartman, a professor of journalism at Central Michigan University, said.
"With the help of brothers John and Tom Curley and others, Neuharth invented a new style of newspaper that was modeled on television newscasts of that time. It had short articles, pithy headlines, color pictures and lots of graphic displays along with intense coverage of sports and entertainment in contrast to the wordy and unimaginative newspapers of that time," Hartman stated. "He pushed good news, the so-called journalism of hope."
"What Neuharth did was teach the newspaper industry that it needed to change its ways and how it needed to change its ways or risk losing its hold on the mass audience of readers," Hartman pointed out. "That is why I call him 'the foremost journalism educator of the late 20th century.'"
"Traditional journalists, including many who worked for Gannett Co., the company Neuharth ran, hated USA TODAY and derided it as fast-food journalism, calling it 'McPaper,' Hartman said, adding that media executives criticized USA TODAY because it lost more than $1 billion dollars over 11 years before posting its first legitimate profit.
In the 1990s, USA TODAY became mainstream, profitable and widely copied by other newspapers, as the industry began to lose readers as a younger generation turned their attention to television and computers.
Hartman said that Neuharth was a gifted promoter of his interests, calling him "A fooler but not a fool." Initially, Neuharth said that USA TODAY was created as a second read and should not be considered competition by other newspapers. He later admitted that was deception.
He retired as chairman of Gannett Co. at age 65, saying that executives should not hang around after 65 and make way for younger talent, but then took control of the Gannett Foundation and used its ownership of 10% of Gannett shares to extract a commitment from his successor, John Curley, to not shutter the then money-losing USA TODAY in return for selling the foundation's Gannett stock for a premium to keep the company from being put in play.
Neuharth subsequently changed the name of the foundation to the Freedom Forum and used it to push his concept of free speech and to build a Washington, D.C., tourist attraction dedicated to journalism and the news media, called the Newseum.
USA TODAY expert and Central Michigan University journalism professor John K. Hartman, the author of The USA TODAY Way (c. 1992) and The USA TODAY Way 2 The Future (c. 2000), is a widely quoted authority on issues related to newspapers and online news as well as publications aimed at young adults, news readership issues and the intersection of journalism and politics.

Well, if you want buildings and consider Virginia City a must, then bag Eureka and Austin on US-50. I don't know how far off the main track you are willing to detour but there is Cherry Creek and Sprucemont off US-93 between Ely and Wells, Hamilton and Belmont Mill off US-50 between Ely and Eureka, Metropolis off I-80 between Wells and Elko and as you get nearer Rye Patch, there several neat towns off I-80 between Elko and Rye Patch including Palisades, Uniontown. and nearby Rye Patch (Check out Rochester) If you've got the time, spend a day in Tonopah and Goldfield and then head back up Smoky Vally (past Round Mountain, Ophir Canyon, Kingston) etc toward Austin or bag a Nevada State Park at Berlin. I'd explore around those places looking for lessor known (not so many buildings) but these all provide good exploring.
Are you looking for placer gold? Microscopic Gold abounds in Nevada but some of the best historical Placer gold mining was around Manhattan and a short jog to Belmont and then back through Manhattan on your way out of Tonopah toward Austin would be icing on the cake. If you hit Tonopah, swing by Shawn Hall's Historic Mining Park and invest in a couple of Shawns books fo9r good details on Nye, Elko, Lander, Eureka and White Pine counties. I'm just typing as I think about a recon trip hitting Nevada when heading west from Colorado and how to gert back. Remember you can find neat stuff in Utah and Western Colorado as well and Bodie California ain't that far from Virginia City. A map, a plan, and the time to explore is all you need.

Bargepole is really upset that these orphaned Siberian Tiger cubs just don't get it.
I want to be sympathetic, but I feel like he's unaware of his apex-predator privilege.
They should know better by now, ya know? It's not that hard; if they want some websites to read about it, they should just ask. Typical privilege.

3 yards backing fabric – (2 yds 32412 27; 1 yd 32416 33)
Separate your fabric pieces into 2 piles. One pile will be for busy, bold, or dark fabrics. The next pile is for subtle prints or light colors. The bold pile will be used to create your tunnel exteriors. The subtle pile will be your tunnel interiors. Each bold fabric can create pieces for 2 tunnels. Each subtle fabric can create pieces for 3 tunnels.
Cut the pieces from your bold stack into:
(2) 3″ x 3.5″ pieces
(2) 3″ x 6.5″ pieces
(2) 4″ squares
You will have a 2″x4″ scrap piece remaining
Take your 4″ printed square and your 4″ background squares and create 2 matching HSTs per block. I made 70 HST pairs for my 35 block quilt.
Trim down your HSTs to 3″ square.
Cut your subtle fabric pieces for your tunnel interiors. Each square will yield:
(3) 3″x3.5″ rectangles
(3) 3″x6.5″ rectangles
(1) 1″x10″ scrap
Arrange the pieces to create your block. Try to pair of fabrics that have some contrast for the best optical illusion.
Sew each row together. Press your inner row seams outward. Press the seams on your top and bottom row inward.
Sew your top, middle, and bottom rows together and press. Trim into a 8″x8.5″ block.
Arrange your blocks and sew into rows, then sew rows together. I used a 5×7 block layout.
Now cut 4.5″ strips from your background fabric. Sew as borders on your quilt.
Construct your backing & binding.
Baste, quilt, bind, enjoy!
A bright and cheery 45.75″ x 64.25″ quilt

Blackhawks, Red Wings face off in matchup of rivalsby Staff Writer / Chicago Blackhawks
This week's Wednesday Night Rivalry game features one of the NHL's greatest rivalries as the Chicago Blackhawks visit Joe Louis Arena to take on the Detroit Red Wings (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN2).
When it comes to Blackhawks vs. Red Wings, there are so many elements to the rivalry between the Original Six teams.
To start with, it's a great playoff rematch. They had a great series last season, when both were still playing in the Western Conference.
It's pretty fascinating when you take a closer look at how the Red Wings and Blackhawks are connected.
It all starts with the Red Wings, who have been the standard-bearer with 22 straight years in the playoffs. Detroit has been a model franchise in the NHL during that time. I think for the most part, when you look at the elite franchises in the NHL, you put the Detroit Red Wings at the top of the list.
The Blackhawks, a longtime division rival of Detroit, modeled themselves after the Red Wings. They did it with their style of play, the veterans on their roster, their skill set and even where their players are from. You can see it with the mindset of their team and how they play a 200-foot game on both sides of the puck and a strong possession game. Both teams have great depth, too, and have given all their players a chance to succeed.
It even goes back to Scotty Bowman, who was a big part of the Detroit franchise during their great run in the 1990s. Now Stan Bowman, his son, is the general manager of the Blackhawks, with Scotty serving as a senior adviser. There's a lot of Detroit DNA with the Chicago Blackhawks.
That depth I mentioned has served the Red Wings well this season. They've had a very difficult time with injuries. Jimmy Howard tweaked his knee again Monday night, and they've also been without stars like Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg and Daniel Alfredsson. But coach Mike Babcock and his staff have done a really good job of managing that roster. You know they love having their prized prospects developing down in Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League. But this year they've been forced to bring a lot of those kids up, whether it's been Tomas Tatar or Gustav Nyquist or Luke Glendening. They're getting more time in the NHL than they otherwise would, and that isn't all bad for Detroit.
Babcock has talked a lot lately about Glendening, but I've been most impressed with Tatar and Nyquist. I like what they bring to the table, in terms of their skill. It's difficult when you're a young player, especially when you get called up to a good team. You need to get your rhythm and timing because you're playing a different role.
At the same time, as a young player, whenever you get your chance, you've just got to roll with it and do the best you can with whatever role you're in. You never know when you'll get another chance to be in the NHL, so you have to grab that opportunity with both hands. The Red Wings' younger players have done that.
With Chicago, what impresses me most is how there is no letdown with this team. They approach every game the same way, and that's impressive considering they've won the Stanley Cup twice in four seasons. It's really a testament to coach Joel Quenneville and his staff. To me, it also speaks to the leadership on that team -- not just captain Jonathan Toews, but especially him. These guys have played a lot of hockey and have a lot of world-class players who will play this February in Sochi, but they still give it everything they have every game. To me, that's really impressive.
I especially love Corey Crawford. His game just went to a whole other level last year. He made one incredible save when Chicago was down 5-on-3 to the Minnesota Wild during their annual "Circus Trip," which is their longest road trip of the season. It was an unbelievable diving blocker save that signified that he wasn't just going to rely on structure and technique; he was going to react a lot more. Their goalie coach at the time, Stephane Waite, was a big part of that. Then he made a kick save a few weeks ago against Waite's current team, the Montreal Canadiens, that was just as impressive. That shows me he's still got it, even though he was out with an injury. He's played really well since he came back, and I'm not seeing any drop-off with him.
It should all add up to a great game Wednesday featuring arguably the game's best rivalry.

Celtic Designer shortbread ( Made in a mold) I made this design with all my Irish friends in mind but it is to be enjoyed by all in kind!!!
This shortbread is a far cry from the boxed version! When you bite into my homemade version, the "crumb" simply melts on your tongue. This shortbread offers absolutely no resistance to your taste buds! A shortbread connoisseur knows just by looking at this cookie that there will be no "snap" here just a soft crunch and then ahhhh...... complete and utter meltdown! This buttery cookie is made of the most superior ingredients and they may just make you dance an Irish jig . Ha! ha!
Please see my Grandmother's recipe below! I owe Her and my Mother a great debt of gratitude for this innate culinary and crafty artistry I possess! I have an insatiable quest to adapt all my Grandmother's recipes to above 5280 ft above sea level here in Colorado!! Believe me this altitude is a force to be reckoned with and I want nothing less than that same superior quality that she demanded!

NORTH HOLLYWOOD >> A convicted felon armed with an assault rifle led police on a high-speed pursuit throughout Los Angeles freeways Monday, then scaled rooftops and barricaded himself for hours in North Hollywood before surrendering.
The televised chase and standoff triggered lockdowns at area schools for several hours, with officers leading children out by hand as worried parents flocked to the scene.
No injuries were reported and police were still investigating whether the suspect shot at officers during the chase.
The standoff in the 11500 block of Hartsook Street ended after about two hours when Los Angeles Police Department SWAT officers fired tear gas into the house.
"It proved to be effective," LAPD Lt. Andy Neiman said. "The suspect then surrendered to SWAT."
The man, then unarmed, laid face down on a lawn as about seven SWAT officers swarmed him, and then walked him away.
The suspect was later identified as Nolan Perez, 41, of Pacoima. A District Attorney's complaint filed against him that morning prior to the chase listed three felony convictions from 1997 to 2011 for domestic violence, felon possessing a firearm and discharging a firearm, for which he served prison time.
New charges to be filed against him are expected to include leading police on a pursuit, evading police and possibly assault with a deadly weapon and attempted homicide if it's determined that he did shoot at police during the chase.
"We believe the suspect did fire rounds at police officers during the pursuit," Neiman said, noting that if it did occur it would have happened on the 5 Freeway in the Foothill area. He said police were searching for casings.
The incident began about 10:15 a.m. Monday when officers tried to serve a warrant on Perez after the District Attorney filed a complaint listing seven counts of making threats against a woman to cause death or great bodily injury in May and June, based on a complaint investigated by LAPD's Hollenbeck station.
When he showed up at a location in Boyle Heights, police met him there and he fled in a red Nissan Altima, leading officers on a high speed chase with his weapon in hand through downtown Los Angeles before heading to the San Fernando Valley, driving into Pacoima and then North Hollywood.
At one point, he was standing on the roof of a house holding the assault rifle, with TV helicopter cameras fixed on him, he stood and paced, then waited and paced some more before eventually climbing down from the roof and barricading himself in the home on Hartsook Street near Colfax Avenue.
Police locked down a four-block perimeter that encompassed Magnolia Boulevard, Otsego Street, Tujunga Avenue to Colfax Avenue and Colfax elementary, Walter Reed Middle, Oakwood elementary and others, as they formulated plans to evacuate students safely. Some of those schools had already ended their terms for the summer, but staff members were still on site.
"Considering he's armed with a rifle, it's pretty dangerous," said LAPD Sgt. Mike Kammert, watch commander of the North Hollywood division, while the incident was still ongoing.
Joseph Gonzalez, 18, who had just picked up his diploma at North Hollywood High School, said he saw the chase on television, while having lunch but didn't know it would end in his neighborhood. He was walking home when squad cars, helicopters and SWAT raced into the neighborhood.
"It made me so nervous," he said. "This is such a quiet neighborhood. I'm still shaking from all of this."
Oakwood School students were escorted out by police officers to North Hollywood Park. Parents met their children at the parking lot on Magnolia east of the 170 Freeway.
Marcia Sewelson was relieved to pick up her son Lucas, 16. "I knew right away he was safe but I'm so sorry this happened," Sewelson said. "It's a horrible feeling. It's like a daily thing with schools being in danger."

News from the world of Maths
We love the Math/Maths podcast! It's a conversation about mathematics between the UK and USA from Pulse-Project.org. Peter Rowlett in Nottingham calls Samuel Hansen in Las Vegas to chat about the math and maths that has been in the news, that they've noticed and that has happened to them.
Plus jetted across the Atlantic in February to attend the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Vancouver. Not only did we feast with (not on) jellyfish at the Vancouver Aquarium, we also found out how to lose weight, how to play Big Brother on the internet, and more...
We love Science in School, the European journal for science teachers, featuring news about the latest scientific discoveries, teaching materials and many other useful resources for science teachers. The journal is freely available online, with articles translated into many European languages. The print version (in English) is free within Europe. Here are some of our favourite recent articles.
Maths is now an integral part in the study of evolution, describing how mutation and natural selection affect a reproducing population. And now maths has shown that it if you want to get ahead in the evolutionary race, it really does pay to be nice. We were lucky enough to visit the other Cambridge earlier this year to interview Professor Martin Nowak about the mathematics of altruism.
As we are having a little cake of our own today, we thought we'd look back on another great birthday celebration... Stephen Hawking's 70th birthday!
Hungry? Why not try one of Vi Hart's brilliant Tex Mex Hexaflexgons – maths has never tasted so good!

Java's Not The Only JVM-Based Language

All play and no work!!!
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
It's Day 2 of the Bloggy Giveaway, and I must admit, I haven't been motivated AT ALL to do any work!!! this is getting bad...
I'm so used to surfing the net most of the day or making myself look busy that I'm just not feeling this project I'm supposed to be doing... YUCK! then the guy who is working on cleaning up this database with me, keeps coming by here, and I have a bit of an attitude, so I'm like, 'Go away! I DO NOT work for you!' but I'm trying to be nice! Wow...
All this is stemming from last week... I didn't get to peruse www.sweepsadvantage.com AT ALL last week so I spent most of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, signing up for sweeps that I had missed!
If you all only knew how many samples/coupons I have gotten since starting this "mission", you might say I have OCD! Not to mention the amount of sweeps that I have entered! Even I couldn't answer that question right now!
But, I'll tell you this - today on my lunch break I went to Walmart. I had three 'free' coupons: one for a 22-ct. or less package of Always thin or Always Clean, one for a box of the new triange Lipton tea (any flavor), and one for a free 16 oz or less Carnation Coffee Creamer, so I got the new Blueberry Cobbler Creamer, which is like HEAVEN to me! Plus I used some Vaseline coupons, and I got me some of their new Cocoa Butter lotion (yum!) ($1 off coupon), some of their Healthy hands and nail lotion ($1.50 off coupon), and some of their new foot lotion ($1.50 off coupon). My original total was $27.53, but with coupons, it came to $17.74.
Boo-Yah!!! How's that for savings?!
Go Angie!!!
Anyway, I'll stop back... after all this Bloggy Giveaway business, I've decided that I'd start posting more and maybe I could make some blog friends?
Be blessed!

I never thought I would enjoy being on facebook and now I can't stay off of it!
Reconnecting with my old high school friends, seeing pictures of them now, with their families and sharing memories has been great.
Also, preparing for surgery, which may take a couple of months.
Swimming everyday and eating healthy foods. I feel pretty good and want to get even better.
Made some beaded earrings, a necklace and cell phone charms.
That's it...

major decision...
Eleven months ago I had knee replacement surgery on my right knee and now, for the first time, I uttered the words to my doc...let's do the other! wow...I shocked myself & Rico.
The pain has been unbearable in the left and with the right feeling pretty good, and since arthritis never gets better on its own...what else can I do?
Not sure of the date yet, but hopefully in a month or so.
More news to follow!

party on paper niche...
The Paper Niche (Tammy & Rhonda) really know how to throw a party!
This was a "surprise" brunch for Barbie (going to school full time) and Kelley (having a baby & leaving the Niche) at Charley's Crab in Ft. Lauderdale on the Intracoastal waterway.
Check the background in the pictures.
They came out a little dark because of the glare from the water, but believe me, everyone
was smiling and laughing the entire time. We had lobster & crab omelets, fruit & potatoes, and let's not forget the Bloody Mary's & Mimosa's.
Thanks girls (T & R) and good luck to K & B in their adventures.

MD Helicopters has reached a deal with Mesa, Ariz. that will keep the manufacturer at the city-owned Falcon Field Airport, according to published reports. The Arizona Republic quoted MD's corporate counsel, Randy Walti, as saying the agreement "makes the option to stay here with a significant presence more viable." The pact is expected to be announced today. MD threatened to move after the city raised its rent on the Falcon Field site. MD owner Lynn Tilton said she was looking for a larger site that could accommodate MD, the Heritage Aviation completions shop she owns and a very light jet manufacturer she said she planned to buy. MD has been negotiating with airports in Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Any move would have run the risk of disrupting production or increasing manufacturing costs until a move was complete.
