Car Forums / BMW / BMW X5
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Been reading the links, very enjoyable so thus far. I've recently placed my order 2/5/2002 for '02 3.0; when can I expect to receive the car?
And is there a discount if one opts for the Performance Center Delivery? I understand BMW gives an additional price break for the European Delivery.
Thank you.
Just curious
What is dealer cash, there is no mention of this on Edmunds for 2002 X5 3.0?
And does this apply to a buy or leased?
Is a rebate to the dealer. It does not apply to the X-5 as far as I know.
chemike Posts: 1My new X5 with 1547 mi. driven,went down with an apparent mysterious electrical fault that makes the lights stay on and the engine inoperable, unless the battery terminal is disconnected. Seven days at the dealer and no clue!! Does anybody has experience the same or has an idea?
joeg12 Posts: 5Any thoughts from the group on X5 3.0 pricing. The best offer I have had so far is $1000 under MSRP.
First off, let me say I love a deal, and searching for a deal. But I've come to the conclusion that BMW is not hurting in selling cars.
Just returned from the BMW dealer 2 hours ago after discussing X5 Lease pricing. The edmunds lease incentive deal of $419/month for 36 months with $2500 down on a stripped X5 seems unobtainable. According to edmunds, residual is 66% for 10K miles. Dealers agree to this. Acquistion fee in my area of California is $725, not $525 per edmunds. The lease interest rate is 4.92% (divide by 2400 to get the lease factor 0f .00205). Kelly Book (kbb.com)also has this as the interest rate. And the BMW dealer said the BMW was kicking in $1000. He even showed me the sheet so I could check the math.
But no one will make this deal here.
$1000 off MSRP should be doable for all deals since BMW is paying it, not the dealer. Lease factors are negoiable, but no one is offering 4.92%, claiming that is the dealer buy price. Kelly Blue has a second incentive interest rate at 6.75% (.00281), which you can get.
Just getting under the lease price quoted on BMW.com has been time consuming. This car is still hot. There are over 10 BMW dealers within a 1 hour drive, but no one has more than 2-4 X5 3.0s and no one seems interested is deeply discounting them. My research has a car in the low $47K running $550-$560/month for 36 months with $2500 (ouch) down.
The only upside is that the Acura MDX is even worse for bargin hunters here, even when you work your way past the 200 people the acura dealer told me were on the waiting list.
tgif888 Posts: 351Which part of Cal are you located? In S. Cal dealers are over stock with X5. I would see rolls and rolls of X5.
The $525 acquistion fee is corrected as of Oct last year if you lease your car from BMW Financial.
Good Luck.
There's no such thing as a stripped BMW, they advertise it but there are never any available, espescially an X-5.
And the SoCal dealers may have some inventory, but they're still not giving the cars away.
I live in Silicon Valley (San Jose). Apparently, there's not as many failed dot coms as the press lead you to believe.
Raybear, you're right, stripped BMWs don't exist on dealers lots. I did find a X5 at $43K MSRP that had a sale sign of $2K off MSRP. But it is pretty sparse inside and the salesman said they were discounting it because it didn't have many options and did not appeal to many buyers. When I asked for the same $2K off on the one with premium and sport package he said no.
If the car is trading at near sticker, then fine, that's what I will end up paying. I saw today in the paper that I can get a Chevy Avalanche for $9000 off MSRP, but I don't want one of those. The great deal will just have to wait.
rickrover Posts: 602I got a heck of a deal on my 2001 X5 3.0 last November with Premium, Climate, Xenons, CD, etc. The dealer was willing to negotiate back then, but not now. I went with a friend to put a deal together on an X5 3.0 this past Saturday and the same dealer I got mine at would not budge an inch on MSRP, totally a take it or leave it deal.
I had done extensive research on the MDX and ML320 and the X5 had not even been a consideration. With that said, I leased a X5 3.0 this weekend with the deal they are currently promoting. I got it as stripped down as possible, base with auto,moonroof and cold weather pkg for $399/mo and they took my 96 Jeep as down payment. I have to say I thought the MDX was THE car but I am loving every minute of my new X5. The MDX looks excellent on paper (price and with what it comes with) but it doesn't give you the same driving satisfaction as a BMW can. Good luck to all you out there still deciding.

A Light off-road event in Southern New Jersey! Come enjoy the trails!
I placed a downpayment for a '02 X5 Steel Gray from a dealer last week on Feb 4. Does anyone know what should be the average turn around time for the dealer to notify me with the Production Number. I'm dying to tell my friends by showing them the Owners Website?
Sorry if this was hashed out before but does anyone have info regarding problems with the key seat settings. At first I thought that I just didn't know how to program or use the key correctly but after getting a new X53.0 on Sunday I brought it into the dealer today b/c everytime I lock and unlock my car the seat, mirrors and steering goes to a completely different setting and has a mind of it's own. Kinda annoying b/c that means everytime I get into the car I need to readjust everything. Any help here is appreciated.
I'm getting ready to ink a deal on a 02 X5 3.0, I really want to get the sport pkg. the issue: is the ride difference minor or very noticible than the non-sport, dealers in the area have no X5 w/ sport in stock for a test drive. I'm in the northern NJ area, any feedback on the dealers in the area, I'm more interested in the quality of service of the dealer, any feedback on this two concerns will be appreciated. We are looking at a X5 3.0, auto, premium, rear climate, sport & xenon. I'll keep you posted. Thanks, Pete D.
I also lived in northern NJ, dealers in the area have the almighty attitude of take it or leave it. Most are not really giving great deals anyways. Since pricing from all of them seems equal, find one that will guarantee you a BMW service loaner, no matter what. Park AVE gives out cheap Ford cars. I'd heard Prestige is pretty good.
What kind of deal did you get? Just curious.
And don't fall for the sales pitch of "you'll get a service loaner for everything". What they forget to say is NOT with scheduled maintenances like your first oil change. I got stuck waiting for 4 hours for my car to be return at Park Ave.
I live in the San Franciso Bay Area and I am shopping for the 4.4i. It seems like this car is in extreme short supply in the area and I was told that if I sign up now I am looking into a March Production, May delivery car. I am wondering if anyone knows of a 4.4i that's available immediately in CA? And secondly, I really appreciate any discount information, dealer incentives or recent purchase experience anyone can share with me here.
Thanks a lot!
I don't have any current information but the dealer sounds like he's telling the truth. Don't count on cashing in on dealer incentives or big discounts in California, they're selling all they've got.
jagzbimmer Posts: 17Hello.
I just picked up my new X5 today (Factory Order -12/18/01, arrived 2/14/02; Auto, Cold Weather Pkg). $479/mo., 36 mos., 10k/yr, 66% Residual, .0015 M/F, $2000 TOP.
This is one terrific vehicle (my first bimmer). Contrary to what you hear and read, this SAV is roomy. Previously owned a 99 JGC Laredo V8. Did not have nearly as much interior room. Fit and finish is superb; better than any other vehicle I researched. Also considered GM Triplets, RX300, and QX4. None even came close to the X5. Inline 6 is as smooth as it gets; acceleration is excellent, and performance far better than JGC V8.
I've read many of these posts over the past several months. I agree with Shipo regarding Prestige BMW. I got my BMW at Prestige on 17S in NJ. This dealership is kind, courteous, and very helpful. It was the single best car buying experience I've ever had. Old car lease was due 2/18/02 and I got the car today. It doesn't get much better than that!
peterd320 - I also considered the Sport Pkg., but decided against it b/c a. too pricey, and b. suspension is stiffer and not really good in inclement weather. I also live in northern NJ.
I look forward to being a part of the group going forward.
x5bo Posts: 3Cisco 4440: My dealer ordered my X5 3.0 on January 23. He immediately faxed me a summary of the order with the Production Number. I was able to go to the BMW website and confirm that the vehicle was ordered. The X5 was estimated to be built in February, with an April 1 delivery. I see on the web that it is already completed and en route to the preparation center.
I became obsessed with trying to match a deal that I made in L.A. (four hours away). I called at least 10 dealers in California. Most were unwilling to reduce MSRP, some up to $1000. I have been told that BMW increased the invoice price to the dealers January 1, with no change in MSRP. It really changed their attitudes about dealing.
I would suggest to standc that he call dealers in the Central Valley of California (Sacramento, Modesto, Fresno, Visalia, Bakersfield.) Your X5 is probably out there! You should be able to purchase your X5 for about 2% under MSRP (this was my local dealer's "internet price.")
Thanks a lot for the pricing information. I wouldn't mind paying MSRP for this great car but I don't want to be ripped off by the dealers when everyone is getting a 2% off MSRP. I've called almost every dealer in the bay area but no one is willing to come off MSRP. I'll try the central valley ones. Thanks!
Hopefully I'll be able to join this discussion as a proud X5 owner very soon!
surfer8 Posts: 2I'm picking up my car next week. Here's what I'm getting - 4.4, premium, sport, rear climate and cold weather packages and Xenon headlights. MSRP is $56,345. Negotiated sale price is $55,145 ($1200 off the sticker). I'm leasing it for 36 months. The money factory is 0.00235 and the residual is 61.0% for 15,000 miles per year. That makes the payment $787.42 or $852.39 with tax. I think I got a good deal. How does that sound to you guys?
Thanks for the feedback, today I signed the papers on a 02, X5 3.0i, auto, premium, rear climate, sport, xenon & mats. Negotiations were a little tense, but pleasent, dealers don't want to come down too much off the MSRP. I was able to get about 2.2% off MSRP, I ended at Prestige in northern NJ, I had a little better deal at another dealer, but was not familiar with their service, and did not want to take a chance over a few dollars. Sales lady was very pleasent had a tour of their facility and it sold me. Considering the comments on previous post, I feel I had a very good deal.
Cisco4440 and jagzbimmer thanks for your feedback, it helped. It was a great day, sun was out and it hit 60 degrees, now the wait begins, but from what I have heard from the postings and current owners, it will be worth it.
Happy X5 Motoring, peterd.
on the X5 purchase. Are you going for the Performance Center Pickup Delivery option in Spartenburg SC?
donelonpc Posts: 8I just leased a 2002 X5 3.0i with the premium package and auto. I really wanted one with a sport package but they were hard to find. The ones that did have them were loaded to the tilt. I was really wanting the bigger 18" wheels.
The dealership upgrade to 18" wheels and tires will cost about $2400. This is after getting the $400 credit for my 17" wheels. Ouch.
I found an ebay posting for 18" wheels and tires right off a new X5 4.4i. This guy bought new and upgraded to 19" wheels. So, he is unloading his 18" wheels and tires. Current bid is around $501 but it has not met the reserve requirement. If I decide to upgrade, I will chase after these wheels and then decide how to unload my new 17" wheels and tires. Not much of a market for these.
At any rate, my question is whether I should bother going to the 18" wheels. Has anyone upgraded to this tire size, if so, what benefits have you noticed other than looks?
Thanks, I'm thinking about the Performance Center Delivery Pick-up, I read about it and I like it. Trying to figure a way to fit it into our schedule, my work, wife's work and kids.
Donelonpc: From your experience as far as upgrading, now you know why it pays to take the sport pkg. Dealer wants 2,400 for wheels / tires vs 2,100 for pkg. with all the other goodies. I had the same problem when I bought my 2000 Benz E320, did not like the wheels (16"), dealer wanted around 2,500 for 17" wheels / tires, last year I found a OE set (17") on E Bay with less than 100 miles on the tires, bid started at 600 ended paying about 900, still better than dealer, when I received the set, they were like brand new. Goodluck and enjoy the X5.
cb44 Posts: 87Anyone gotten Steel Grey and if so, what interior seems to go best (besides black). SG seems to have different looks based on lighting, but seems to fit the X5 body lines well.
legran22 Posts: 6I am trying to purchase an X5 4.4 with the above referenced equipment and have run into two issues that I would like comment on. 1.The 745's tying up 4.4 engine production and I will need to order it. and 2. BMW has gone to "no haggle" pricing and I will pay near list price (approx. $56k in this case). Also I am exploring the 36 month Buyer Option walkaway financing option. Would appreciate comments on all? Thanks.
bdonelon Posts: 7I think that if you go with leather, get the saddle color. It looks sharp. I saw one at the dealer where I got mine. Otherwise, you are limited to black in leatherette.

As reported by Censor.NET citing RIA Novosti news agency, this opinion was expressed by President Vladimir Putin of Russia at a press conference following his visit to China.
"As for the Eurovision, those who wanted to watch it could always do this via the Internet. And I think that our organizations involved in this event did the right thing when they refused to take part, because, in my opinion, current Kyiv authorities are unable to hold such events properly," Putin said.
The grand finale of the Eurovision International Song Contest was held in Kyiv on the night of Sunday, May 14. This year, Russia did not take part in the contest as the Ukrainian Security Service barred Russian singer Yulia Samoylova from entering the country as she had previously held concerts in the occupied Crimea.

This stuff was popular over 5 years ago. Xaio Xaio has done it to death. not to mention the millions of copycats out there. This is not unique, this is not original, this is not GOOD!!! Just stop making the same bland stick action crap!! And if you know people who do it, tell them to shove their stick creations up their anal cavities as well. FIND SOMETHING ORIGINAL TO DO INSTEAD OF FILLING UP THE PORTAL WITH THE SAME OLD SHIT!
Excuse me? Filling up the portal? Well my fellow portal browsing friend, i believe that if you take 10 short minutes out of your hectic, but fair reviewing hobby, you will find that Sticks only take up a very small percentage of the portal, and are confined to their own nice little collection.
With Zhu Zhq being the real entrepreneur of stick figure animation, i find it fair to pay homage to him every now and then. If you still disagree, i would be happy to oblige and discuss this over a cup of tea and sandwiches. Good day.

The fourth day of the tournament started with the advancement of Israel and Netherlands into the second qualifier as they played a show match just for fun as both were already qualified but Israel continued th hot play and won against the Netherlands. Then the day featured thre e more matches which included matches from Pool A, Pool B and Pool C.
The loss knocked China out of contention for the second round and set up a win-and-in game between the Aussies and Cuba.

The defending champions of the tournament did not disappointed as they won their first match with a score of 9-2 against Canada which was the first opening match of Pool C of WBC 2017.
Despite the final score, the game was still up for grabs in the sixth when Dominican Republic held a 5-2 lead. That's when Bautista added three insurmountable insurance runs with a towering home run to left.
The victors put things on cruise control from there and started this edition of the World Baseball Classic right where they left off.

Tuneful Tuesday: Be My Muse / #muse
Welcome to another Tuneful Tuesday feature. Today, I get to talk about one of my favorite bands–one that's inspired plenty of stories on my end. Muse. I've featured them before, but they came out with a new album in June, Drones, that proves to me they're still going strong.
If you're not familiar, Muse is a UK-based band from Devon that formed in 1994. The band members? Matthew Bellamy (lead vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards), Christopher Wolstenholme (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Dominic Howard (drums, percussion, synthesisers). With seven studio albmus to account for, Muse fans have planty of tunes to crank up.
Muse's releases are as follows: Showbiz (1999), Origin of Symmetry (2001), Absolution (2003), Black Holes and Revelations (2006), The Resistance (2009), The 2nd Law (2012), and Drones (2015).

A changing industry
In the 1980s the energy market was owned and regulated by the Government and tightly controlled.

Tightly regulated
Government ownership and

THEN... 1980s
No choice of supplier
There was little competition
between suppliers, and businesses
and consumers had to buy energy
from their local electricity or gas boards.
Deregulation and competition has
opened-up access to a wide choice
of different energy suppliers.

Energy sourced domestically
With supplies of North Sea gas and

Every week we provide over 600 business energy customers with quotes online.
Unstable prices
In the past, energy prices were relatively stable. For over 30 years the UK benefitted from energy on
its doorstep - the North Sea. But, as supplies have dwindled, we've had to look elsewhere.

Ireland too strong for Scotland in Six Nations
Ireland overcame the late withdrawal of captain Paul O'Connell to beat Scotland 28-6 in their Six Nations opener at Lansdowne Road on Sunday.
O'Connell picked up a chest infection on Saturday night, but the hugely influential lock wasn't missed for once as his replacement, Dan Tuohy, helped mince up the Scotland lineout in the first half and stand-in skipper Jamie Heaslip led by example with a try and high workrate.
Ireland bridged halftime with tries by winger Andrew Trimble and Heaslip, and Jonathan Sexton added 13 points to overtake Michael Kiernan and become his country's third highest point-scorer in tests. Fullback Rob Kearney added a late try when the result was already in Ireland's grasp.
Without O'Connell, Sean O'Brien and Gordon D'Arcy, three big contributors in the heart-breaking loss to New Zealand in the last outing in November, there was enough doubt about Ireland's ability and mindset to achieve another good start in the last Six Nations for Brian O'Driscoll.
But the doubts proved unnecessary, as Ireland had enough class and nous for a Scotland still lacking a killer touch, and won its tournament opener for the 10th time in the last 11 years.
Scotland began the match by doing what it does best, holding the ball. The Scots worked 11 phases into the Ireland 22 until they were harshly penalized for holding too long. Then Greig Laidlaw's long-range penalty hit the left upright.
Sexton and Laidlaw swapped penalties, and Ireland ended up leading 6-3 into the second quarter.
But not until the last 10 minutes did the heart-rate rise. No. 8 David Denton came closest to a Scotland try when he burst blindside off a ruck 10 meters out and was trying to reach out to the line when he was bowled into touch by scrumhalf Conor Murray and flanker Peter O'Mahony.
As Ireland loosened Scotland's pressure - winning four Scottish throw-ins helped - Scots and Lions winger Sean Maitland landed awkwardly on his right ankle from jumping for an up and under and limped off.
Sexton put the pressure back on Scotland by carving past tackles in midfield, and gave Heaslip a shot in the left corner, but the No. 8 stepped over the sideline just before he touched down.
Ireland failed to score from the resulting five-meter lineout, but a penalty allowed them to try another attacking lineout with a minute to go. Scotland's defense looked like holding on, but Ireland's quick rucks helped the hosts find Scotland short on the right wing, where Kearney gave Trimble the overlap to score for an 11-3 halftime lead.
Soon after the restart, Laidlaw cut the deficit to five, but Ireland put the game away in the 47th when Tuohy's lineout take was mauled by Ireland and Heaslip scored too easily. Sexton converted for 18-6 and added a third penalty before the hour.
Ireland controlled possession throughout the half, which inevitably ended with a third try to Kearney, who slipped off replacement Alasdair Dickinson and dragged flanker Ryan Wilson to the tryline nine minutes from time.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1)
A few years ago, I woke up to a pain in my arm and pain in my chest. In those days, I stayed out late and woke up later. But it was a little after six on a Saturday morning. The sky was just beginning to push the darkness aside, and there I was wide awake. I felt terrible inside and scared for my life. Do you think I called an ambulance first? No. Any God-fearing woman out there knows – I checked WebMD. My worst fears were confirmed: I was having a heart attack. A prayer marathon commenced. I prayed to live. Actually, my words were more like, "Please don't let me die, Jesus."
Needless to say, a trip to the ER revealed through thorough testing and investigation into my prior activities revealed the source of my issues: Too much fried food, too much alcohol, and too much ice cream. All of which my body didn't quite agree with.
I was not dying. My prophecy was not Divine. 'Twas false.
It's not too far a stretch to see how this happens in our schools.

Collaboration and Innovation at Procter & Gamble Essay
Collaboration and Innovation at Procter & Gamble
Look in your medicine cabinet. No matter where you live in the world, odds are that you'll find many Procter & Gamble products that you use every day. P&G is the largest manufacturer of consumer products in the world, and one of the top 10 largest companies in the world by market capitalization. The company is known for its successful brands, as well as its ability to develop new brands and maintain its brands' popularity with unique business innovations. Popular P&G brands include Pampers, Tide, Bounty, Folgers, Pringles, Charmin, Swiffer, Crest, and many more. The company has approximately 140,000 employees in more than 80 countries, and its leading competitor is Britain-based Unilever. Founded in 1837 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, P&G has been a mainstay in the American business landscape for well over 150 years. In 2009, it had $79 billion in revenue and earned a $13.2 billion profit.
P&G's business operations are divided into three main units: Beauty Care, Household Care, and Health and Well-Being, each of which are further subdivided into more specific units. In each of these divisions, P&G has three main focuses as a business. It needs to maintain the popularity of its existing brands, via advertising and marketing; it must extend its brands to related products by developing new products under those brands; and it must innovate and create new brands entirely from scratch.
Because so much of P&G's business is built around brand creation and management, it's critical that the company facilitate collaboration between researchers, marketers, and managers. And because P&G is such a big company, and makes such a wide array of products, achieving these goals is a daunting task.
P&G spends 3.4 percent of revenue on innovation, which is more than twice the industry average of 1.6 percent. Its research and development teams consist of 8,000 scientists spread across 30 sites globally. Though the company has an 80 percent "hit" rate on ideas that lead to products, making truly innovative and groundbreaking new products is very difficult in an extremely competitive field like consumer products. What's more, the creativity of bigger companies like P&G has been on the decline, with the top consumer goods companies accounting for only 5 percent of patents filed on home care products in the early 2000s.
Finding better ways to innovate and develop new ideas is critical in a marketplace like consumer goods, and for any company as large as P&G, finding methods of collaboration that are effective across the enterprise can be difficult. That's why P&G has been active in implementing information systems that foster effective collaboration and innovation. The social networking and collaborative tools popularized by Web 2.0 have been especially attractive to P&G management, starting at the top with former CEO A.G. Lafley. Lafley was succeeded by Robert McDonald in 2010, but has been a major force in revitalizing the company.
When Lafley became P&G's CEO in 2000, he immediately asserted that by the end of the decade, the company would generate half of its new product ideas using sources from outside the company, both as a way to develop groundbreaking innovations more quickly and to reduce research and development costs. At the time, Lafley's proclamation was considered to be visionary, but in the past 10 years, P&G has made good on his promise.
The first order of business for P&G was to develop alternatives to business practices that were not sufficiently collaborative. The biggest culprit, says Joe Schueller, Innovation Manager for P&G's Global Business Services division, was perhaps an unlikely one: e-mail. Though it's ostensibly a tool for communication, e-mail is not a sufficiently collaborative way to share information; senders control the flow of information, but may fail to send mail to colleagues who most need to see it, and colleagues that don't need to see certain e-mails will receive mailings long after they've lost interest. Blogs and other collaborative tools, on the other hand, are open to anyone interested in their content, and attract comments from interested users.
However, getting P&G employees to actually use these newer products in place of e-mail has been a struggle for Schueller. Employees have resisted the changes, insisting that newer collaborative tools represent more work on top of e-mail, as opposed to a better alternative. People are accustomed to e-mail, and there's significant organizational inertia against switching to a new way of doing things. Some P&G processes for sharing knowledge were notoriously inefficient. For instance, some researchers used to write up their experiments using Microsoft Office applications, then print them out and glue them page by page into notebooks. P&G was determined to implement more efficient and collaborative methods of communication to supplant some of these outdated processes.
To that end, P&G launched a total overhaul of its collaboration systems, led by a suite of Microsoft products. The services provided include unified communications (which integrates services for voice transmission, data transmission, instant messaging, e-mail, and electronic conferencing), Microsoft Live Communications Server functionality, Web conferencing with Live Meeting, and content management with SharePoint. According to P&G, over 80,000 employees use instant messaging, and 20,000 use Microsoft Outlook, which provides tools for e-mail, calendaring, task management, contact management, note taking, and Web browsing. Outlook works with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server to support multiple users with shared mailboxes and calendars, SharePoint lists, and meeting schedules.
The presence of these tools suggests more collaborative approaches are taking hold. Researchers use the tools to share the data they've collected on various brands; marketers can more effectively access the data they need to create more highly targeted ad campaigns; and managers are more easily able to find the people and data they need to make critical business decisions.
Companies like P&G are finding that one vendor simply isn't enough to satisfy their diverse needs. That introduces a new challenges: managing information and applications across multiple platforms. For example, P&G found that Google search was inadequate because it doesn't always link information from within the company, and its reliance on keywords for its searches isn't ideal for all of the topics for which employees might search. P&G decided to implement a new search product from start-up Connectbeam, which allows employees to share bookmarks and tag content with descriptive words that appear in future searches, and facilitates social networks of coworkers to help them find and share information more effectively.
The results of the initiative have been immediate. For example, when P&G executives traveled to meet with regional managers, there was no way to integrate all the reports and discussions into a single document. One executive glued the results of experiments into Word documents and passed them out at a conference. Another executive manually entered his data and speech into PowerPoint slides, and then e-mailed the file to his colleagues. One result was that the same file ended up in countless individual mailboxes. Now, P&G's IT department can create a Microsoft SharePoint page where that executive can post all of his presentations. Using SharePoint, the presentations are stored in a single location, but are still accessible to employees and colleagues in other parts of the company. Another collaborative tool, InnovationNet, contains over 5 million researchrelated documents in digital format accessible via a browser-based portal. That's a far cry from experiments glued in notebooks.
One concern P&G had when implementing these collaborative tools was that if enough employees didn't use them, the tools would be much less useful for those that did use them. Collaboration tools are like business and social networks–the more people connect to the network, the greater the value to all participants. Collaborative tools grow in usefulness as more and more workers contribute their information and insights. They also allow employees quicker access to the experts within the company that have needed information and knowledge. But these benefits are contingent on the lion's share of company employees using the tools.
Another major innovation for P&G was its largescale adoption of Cisco TelePresence conference rooms at many locations across the globe. For a company as large as P&G, telepresence is an excellent way to foster collaboration between employees across not just countries, but continents. In the past, telepresence technologies were prohibitively expensive and overly prone to malfunction. Today, the technology makes it possible to hold high-definition meetings over long distances. P&G boasts the world's largest rollout of Cisco TelePresence technology.
P&G's biggest challenge in adopting the technology was to ensure that the studios were built to particular specifications in each of the geographically diverse locations where they were installed. Cisco accomplished this, and now P&G's estimates that 35 percent of its employees use telepresence regularly. In some locations, usage is as high as 70 percent. Benefits of telepresence include significant travel savings, more efficient flow of ideas, and quicker decision making. Decisions that once took days now take minutes.
Laurie Heltsley, P&G's director of global business services, noted that the company has saved $4 for every $1 invested in the 70 high-end telepresence systems it has installed over the past few years These high-definition systems are used four times as often as the company's earlier versions of videoconferencing systems.

Enter To Win "5-Factor Fitness"!
January 14, 2009 by Anna
Filed under Contests, Featured, Health & Wellness
Ok…what is the number one New Year's Resolution? LOSE WEIGHT! Take off those holiday cookie pounds and get ready for the summer right?? Well let me let you in on a secret…you don't need a gym membership; your treadmill is outside honey! Anywhere you can put your foot down and continue walking is nature's equivalent to a treadmill. All you need are hand weights, a jump rope, and the ability to step outside. Annddd….you HAVE TO HAVE THIS BOOK!
The 5-Factor Fitness by Harley Pasternak
He is the celebrity trainer who train celebs like Halle Berry and you know she's got a pretty hot bod. But I personally could not take off the extra 15 lbs. until I read this book and followed everything he said. Well, also with the help of my certified trainer, Dr. Katelyn (check out her featured posts on my health and wellness section.) to motivate me and make sure I was doing things correctly. However, this book is awesome! What I love is that it's totally attainable and doable! No crazy workout routines, just simple strength training mixed with a little bit of cardio goes a long way! Get this book; it's the only way you'll achieve your New Year's resolution!
However, if you do need the motivation of other people who have the same resolution as you, absolutely join the gym! I still suggest getting this book and do it there because you can run on a treadmill for days, and if you don't know what you're doing, you'll just have really strong legs and still have your holiday inner tube…and that does not float in the pool during the summertime…just so you know.
Spring $10 for this book on amazon.com before shelling out hundreds on other things that don't work. I assure you, it's worth every penny!

Tips on Makeup Brushes
What are advantages of Makeup Brushes?
People think that they don't need makeup brushes and like to use their fingers to get the job done. No doubt you love your finger, but use them to hold things, i.e, makeup brushes. Using makeup brushes have several benefits:

How Guys REALLY Feel About Bras
January 8, 2009 by Matt Hosely
Filed under Ask the Guys, Featured
Matt Hosley is just an everyday guy who encounters strange things. He currently resides in Lexington, KY and has his own hilariously entertaining blog, Strange Situations. He will be joining us as a guest blogger from time to time, to give us the his take on fashion, beauty, and women.
In the eighth grade during spirit week each day was devoted to a different theme. There was Maroon and Gold day (where students dressed in the school colors), twin day (where you and a friend dress like alike), and cross dress day (I think this one is self explanatory). I honestly don't know how cross dress day was approved, but as the self proclaimed most spirited guy in the school (later I was actually voted most spirited by the students and teachers in my eighth grade yearbook) I had to dress like a woman. My mom would never have let me leave the house in a dress, wig, pantyhose, and bra so I had to borrow them from my cousin and change in the bathroom during homeroom.
Turns out that most of the students skipped this spirit day, but I was in full on female clothing. I stuffed my bra with toilet paper like many of the girls in my class did on a daily basis and by the end of first period I had a rash where the wire on my bra was rubbing against my boyish pecks. I was also sweating profusely through the bra which was starting to smell like my athletic supporter and cup after a long baseball game in 100 degree weather. I know it is said that girls do not sweat, they glisten, and this is the first time I actually believed this statement. Girls don't typically smell like my athletic supporter and cup, so they must not sweat while wearing a bra. I found the material to be very itchy as well. By third period the bra was in my backpack, I'm sure whoever got my french and math books the following year wondered why they smelled like boy crotch.
By the end of the day I was wondering how girls wear a bra everyday, it is a headache and a hassle. It wasn't until several years later that I experienced a bra from the other side of equation. Guys always complain about how hard it is to get a bra off of a girl in the heat of the moment. Every once in a while I would have trouble, but for the most part a quick snap of my fingers and the bra would be unhooked and I would be trying to rip it off and throw it on the floor. I guess guys get nervous in the midst of passion. They struggle to get the bra off because they are worried about not living up to the girls expectations and they stumble and shake as they mess with the metal hooks on the back of the bra.
Taking a bra off while you are shaking with nerves is like trying to draw a straight line during an earthquake. What makes it hard is that you have to be gentle and suave while you are doing it, you can't just pull and tug or you will either A: rip the bra, or B: turn the girl off. If I had to pick the worlds best bra removers it would be, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, The Fonz, and Ellen DeGeneres. Let me explain... the first two are inhuman athletes, they perform under pressure better than just about anyone on the planet. They would be calm and cool during the process of removing the bra and have no trouble seeing the treasure held behind them. The Fonz and Ellen both have experience taking off several bra's and are not as good under pressure but have so much experience it is second nature to them.
I have gone bra shopping with girls and it is horrible. They always want to know my opinion on the bra. I do not care what the bra looks like, guys do not care what the bra looks like. When bra shopping you should base your decision on the following factors, comfort and then price. That is it, nothing more. Honestly, how often does someone else see your bra? If you have a boyfriend he most likely only sees it for a few minutes before it is in a pile on the floor, and even then a lot of the time the light is off anyway. Guys typically don't care what the bra looks like, they care about what is behind the bra. When was the last time a guy carassed your bra? Do you know why? Guys don't care about bras.
Every once and a while it is nice to have a nice lingerie bra that can set the mood, but don't spend a lot of time or money deciding. Guys who like boobs are not going to care if the bra matches your panites and how much lace is on it. A bra can be sexy but don't spend a lot of money investing in something that has little to no use on a day to day basis. If the bra is comfortable, and it fits, buy it.

Disclaimer: I watched the show immediately after my favorite hockey team suffered a brutal loss. All comments and analogies will most likely reflect how upset I was at the time. I'm still upset, for what it's worth. But hey, you know the old saying – it's better to let a sporting event ruin your day/week/month than to put it in perspective with the grand scheme of life! On top of that, halfway through writing this recap I knocked over a 24oz tumbler of coffee off of my desk and directly into my workbag. So just keep that in mind when you feel like I may have crossed the line.
(Am I the only person in America who TiVo'd the Bachelorette to watch after the Stanley Cup Final?)
(Am I the only person on earth still saying TiVo when referring to any television recording? I don't know why I do that – I never even owned an actual TiVo.)
Let's get to it…
Last night I watched the Blackhawks lose at home to the Lightning in a gut-wrenching way, and the Bachelorette was still the worst thing I watched on TV last night (last hockey reference, I hope).
Then I had trouble falling asleep so I watched a little bit of Blackfish – a documentary about animal cruelty – and the Bachelorette was still the worst thing I watched last night.
What's the deal with this season?
In a few years we are all going to be saying, "Hey, remember when they used to have rose ceremonies at the end of episodes?" Or maybe, "Hey, remember when they used to have rose ceremonies just in general?" and our friend will say, "Dude, I stopped watching the Bachelor when Jennifer and I broke up." Then we'll say, "Oh man, I'm sorry to bring that up. How have you been since then? Do you still keep in touch with her at all?" And he'll say, "It was hard early on, but I think we are both in a better place now because we are learning how to be more independent, which has made each of us better people and more suited for if/when that next person comes along." But then you'll have to tell him that Jennifer has been dating one of your best friends for about 8 months and they're getting engaged in a few weeks, and the look on his face will remind you of Tilikum, the orca from Blackfish.
Anyway (clears throat), this season hasn't been very enjoyable. Before we talk about last night's episode and the return of Nick, we need to answer an important question…
How'd we get here?
We started with two Bachelorettes on their journey to find love, and some producer (who deserves a raise) decided to have the limo pull up to both Britt and Kaitlyn who were standing ten yards apart, forcing the guys to choose one person to talk to first.
One guy went with the Switzerland move and went for a church-camp group hug to not show any favorites, while another guy walked up to Kaitlyn and told her that he wants it to be her – both are decent moves, especially when having to think quickly. What I would've done is walk up to Kaitlyn first and whisper, "I want it to be you," and then walk up to Britt and whisper again, "I want it to be you." You're set either way.
The 2016 Presidential Election is heating up and every Republican hopeful can't give a straight answer about if they still would've invaded Iraq knowing what we know now – looking at you, Jeb and Marco – but our country's biggest issue on May 18th was who was pro-Britt and who was pro-Kaitlyn.
On night one we met Tony the Healer who said, "The further I drift away in my mind, the closer I get to where I want to be." That place he wants to be is definitely not in a sumo wrestling ring, but more on that later. We also met an exotic dancer turned law school student turned law school graduate turned exotic dancer. But the gentleman who stole the show on night one was Drunk Guy, who I will capitalize as a proper noun in lieu of just easily looking his name up on ABC.com.
Drunk Guy got, well, really drunk – but that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was the way that the rest of the guys acted like they had never seen a drunk guy in general, and then several of the guys tried to have like real, man-to-man conversations with him about his drunken behavior. Listen, I've been drunk guy before, I mean we all have, right? (I'm hoping you just nodded yes). The dumbest thing you can do is try to rationalize with a drunk guy. If I was drunk guy at a bar and some guy came up to me and said, "Hey, can we talk for a second?" I would probably just mockingly say, "I don't know, can we?" and then take his hat right off of his head and put it on a stranger's head. You don't ever try to have a real conversation with drunk guy about his drunk guy behaviors until you're at Waffle House the next morning/afternoon… most likely late afternoon.
I know that probably seems like I'm spending too much time on something that everyone already forgot about from night one, and now that I think of it, you're right.
Anyway, at the beginning of night two world-renowned author, Chris Harrison, pulled both Britt and Kaitlyn aside to break the news to them in the most little league awards banquet way ever. Remember the way your youth soccer coach would present the postseason awards? "Now this person was a hard worker, always had a great attitude at practice, and even though he/she may not have scored the most goals they were still a big part of our success this year…" Dude, just say who it is. You and this creepy assistant coach who isn't related to anyone on the team are the only ones enjoying the suspense.
Chris Harrison used a similar rendition of that old trick: "Kaitlyn, the men have decided who the Bachelorette will be for this season, and unfortunately… they chose you! Oh, the look on your face. I got you so good!" I bet Chris was also that a-hole guy in his friend group who wouldn't stop the car all the way when he was picking someone up. Free tip: there is nothing less funny on this planet than when someone does that. I think that is one of the biggest issues in America that no one has the guts to talk about – that, or everyone else just thinks it's sooooo funny watching someone struggle to get into a moving car. Don't be that guy.
Despite what they said on the show, I don't think the vote was close. At best I bet it was 20-5 Kaitlyn, and thank goodness it was her and not Britt. We got a taste of what the show would be like with Britt during that first night, and I think her season would feature A) a lot of tears, and B) a lot of her falling in love with every guy who was nice to her. She probably falls in love with the cashier at the In-N-Out drive thru: "Alright ma'am, have a nice day." "Omg, sir… you have no idea how much that means to me. It's not everyday that I meet a guy who is kind and just gets me like you do."
Britt also told Chris that she didn't see that coming at all. Really, Britt? You didn't think that it was a possibility that they didn't pick you in what was a 50/50 chance? She probably hates football because she gets totally blindsided by the opening coin flip.
Alright, enough about her. The guys picked Kaitlyn, and then Kaitlyn picked some guys. Coming out of the first night my greatest hope for this season was that the winner was someone who picked Britt, so we'll have to stay tuned for that one.
Week Two…
Week two brought us a group date that should be mandatory for every season to follow: boxing. The first five minutes of the boxing group date was better than the entire Mayweather v Pacquiao fight. We had macho man Ben Z just destroying everyone in his path. Ben Z hit Jared so hard that he finally decided to shave off his creepy-assistant-youth-soccer-coach-who-isn't-related-to-anyone-on-the-team facial hair… so that was a win for Jared.
Then we had underwater photography with Clint, who would've been better off from a PR perspective if he just stayed in that pool the rest of the season – more to come on him. On top of Clint we had JJ (I guess I could just end the sentence here…) who revealed himself as the grandest d-bag of them all. JJ seems like a guy who would search himself on Twitter, find a tweet about him that wasn't a direct @mention, and then respond to it with a five-tweet rant.
But on top of all of that, we had the Kupah situation. What's important to remember about Kupah is that he listed his three favorite artists as DMX, Eminem, and David Guetta. Now take a second and let that sink it…
Ok, so Kupah brought to light a great move for when someone is trying to breakup with you – you not only say no to it (which is a strong move on it's own), but you say, "But imagine how cool our love story would be after this!" That's about as likely to happen as Ant Man is to get above 20% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The show dragged on and on with this Kupah storyline for reasons that I can't explain. No one cared (or still cares) about Kupah, especially when there are still 20 guys around. Sure, if he flips out like that when it's down to the final four then go ahead and show it, but don't spend 20 minutes on it, and definitely don't turn it into a "To Be Continued." That episode wasn't a good look for Kupah, so he'll have some explaining to do at the weekly Tuesday morning breakfast for entrepreneurs who only have one thing on their calendar all week: that breakfast.
Can I get an Amen?
Week Three…
The feature players from week three: sumo wrestling, Tony, sex education, a date that is a metaphor for love, and Clint and JJ.
As far as Tony is concerned, I felt like he would've left no matter what the group date was. His Bachelorette clock had expired, and I don't blame him – I wouldn't want to be stuck in the house with those dudes for more than a weekend.
Had the date been fly-fishing…
Tony: "I don't see why we must stand in the middle of this stream, restricting the natural flow of the water that this earth needs to maintain it's balance, all while piercing and innocent fish through the lip, when we know that, as humans, our lips are the great mediator between us and the rest of civilization. I'm out!"
Had the date been sky diving…
Tony: "Jumping out of an airplane just reflects the way that us humans treat the world – we think it's ours and we can do with it what we please, when really this spinning globe is more than that – it's a common ground, a shared experience we have with the rest of civilization. I'm out!"
Or, had the date been just dinner…
Tony: "Must we just repeat this dull cycle of eating and digesting, eating and digesting, eating and digesting? We should be out eating and digesting the figurative fruits that this planet has agreed to offer to us, no different than a peace offering… not until then will we have a truer understanding of ourselves and the ones we are meant to be united with. I'll have the New York Strip in a to-go box please, because I'm out!"
After that, the next group date finally answered the question of, "How can I feel more like a piece of sh*t while watching this show?" Answer: the fellas teaching sex education to 5th graders! Thank goodness they were child actors? I don't know. I don't know why they all acted so strange about it – they would've had a much more difficult time teaching math.
Then later (or before, the timeline doesn't really matter), Chris Harrison set up a group date for Ben Z and Kaitlyn to either a haunted house, or just the house living room of the creepy youth soccer coach who isn't related to anyone on the team. But of course a haunted house isn't just a spooky building, it's a metaphor for love and relationships – or whatever Chris used to set it up.
Chris Harrison describing a fly-fishing date…
"Fellas, Kaitlyn, welcome to Bachelorette falls. Today we will be fly-fishing, but it's about more than that. In the same way that each cast hopes to end with reeling in a fish, each time you cast your heart you hope to reel in the love of your life. So don't forget who you are truly trying to catch today."
Chris Harrison describing a sky-diving date…
"Sure it may seem like we are just jumping out of planes, but it's about a lot more than that. Today is about trust. Just like you trust that sweaty man that is attached to your back during the jump who is totally in charge of whether you live or die, you also trust your partner when you jump out of the airplane of insecurity and into the free air of love. Don't forget where you are truly trying to land today."
Chris Harrison describing a dinner date…
"Tonight, dinner is served, but it's about a lot more than that. In the same way that this physical food (that no one ever takes a bit of on the show) nourishes your body, so does the conversation you'll have with the one you love. Savor it, explore it, let it replenish you. Don't forget what the real main course is here tonight: Kaitlyn's heart.
And now for the part that everyone is just going to scroll down to anyway…
Last Night's Episode
Not only did we not have a rose ceremony at the beginning or the end, but we also added a guy? They started doing this "To be Continued" garbage during Farmer Chris' season, but that was for good reason because there was a lot going on.
Last night we took a trip to NYC, or as Ben Z referred to it as, "A place I could see myself falling in love." Barf. They had a week in NYC with what I'm guessing is an unlimited budget, so they went to some terrible nightclub for a rap battle and then hung out on a boat that was probably owned by some casino bigwig from Jersey. I mean they didn't even leave Times Square! And I know, Jared and Kaitlyn went to The Met, which is on the Upper East, but still…
I love how every year they bring out some artist like Big & Rich or Doug E. Fresh, and every guy pretends that they were like the BIGGEST fans of them. Next season I want them to totally make someone up:
"On this group date each one of you are going to have to write me a love song, but I brought you a little help. Please welcome one of the greatest songwriters this world has ever seen, George Glass!"
"Oh man, I grew up on George Glass' music. All through middle school and high school all I listened to were George Glass albums. This is a dream come true, to actually be writing a song alongside my hero!"
The rap battle last night was worse than I thought it was going to be. It was the biggest disservice to rap since Iggy Azalea's last album (side burn on I-G-G-Y). But sitting in the back of the room was last night's biggest storyline: the return of Nick. Also featured in the back of the room: Sharleen the opera singer, and Ashley I from last season. I'm guessing that Ashley I just finished scraping off her makeup from the After the Final Rose show last winter to make it to the rap battle in time.
Even if you didn't see the season previews where we knew that Nick was coming back, you still knew that she was for sure going to let him come on the show. She was on cloud nine. Apparently their only communication was through Twitter, which I can only assume was the main goal for the founders of Twitter: "If only there was a way that Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants who were on different seasons could communicate. Something that would be like a text message but more public where everyone could see it so that it can still feed their ego… hmm."
For someone who later in the episode "starred on Broadway" aka walked out on stage and smiled for a second, she sure did a poor job of acting like she was torn about the Nick situation. She was practically levitating while telling him, "I don't know how I feel about this."
So class, who do you go to when you need some good, down-to-earth advice?
Ashley S?
Ashley S!!!!!
People and things who I would rather get advice from: Juan Pablo, the blow dryer that Ashley S was holding, Siri, Doug E. Fresh, Masa Verde, Neil Lane, a Niel Lane diamond, any contestant whose job title started with the word former, the mayor of Arlington, IA, Jade, the pantsapreneur, JJ, Clint… and the list goes on.
But no, Kaitlyn went straight to Ashley S for advice, and it did not disappoint. To summarize what exactly she said: you shouldn't let him back on because he had his chance but you should definitely let him back on so that you can explore your feelings for him.
Of course all of the guys were not happy with this news, especially Mr. if-you're-a bird-I'm-a-bird Shawn, who couldn't be trying harder to look like Ryan Gosling. It's like he watched Crazy Stupid Love over and over and just fast-forwarded to the part with the Gosling's fashion tips.
Do the guys have a right to be angry? Sure, but not too much. Let's remember this: there are 14 guys left, and that's not including Nick. 14! Does it really matter if they add one more? They all act like they are dating their girlfriend of three years and she decided to bring another guy along. The girl they "could see themselves falling for" is already dating 13 guys.
"Now listen, Kaitlyn, I was cool with you running around NYC with 13 other guys – it was only fair that you do that. But 14 is where I draw the line. That's just too many guys at once."
Also, she only really likes three or four of them as it is, so the core group there should be the only ones upset. I guess the problem is that they all think they are part of the inner circle.
Where do we go from here?
I hope Nick makes it really far. The longer he is around the better the show will be, or at least that's my hope. I haven't written anything about this season so far because I haven't really cared about it. Oh wait, unless that means that I really care about the other seasons that I have written about. Uh, well, I promise I have other interests in life.
This season, especially last night, has felt like I'm watching the show in real time. They used to squeeze three dates and a rose ceremony into an hour of television. Imagine that! Now we have two hours of Kaitlyn wondering around wondering if she should let a guy come back on the show or if she should just make out with him and then tell him no, and no rose ceremony.
I have hope for the rest of the season. It may not be grounded in anything, but it's hope nonetheless. Judging off the previews, things are about to heat up in a major way.

US unveils its secret weapon: Stuart the lawyer
US defence officials like to boast that the Pentagon has a secret weapon against Iran.
This little-known piece of America's arsenal is not a super-duper bunker-buster or a new-fangled laser gun. In fact, it does not even belong to the Pentagon at all.
Its — or, rather, his — name is Stuart Levey, a lawyer who is now Under-Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence at the US Treasury.
Now that the United States has reached agreement with Russia and China on a new package of UN sanctions against Iran, this secret weapon is about to be unsheathed.
The ten-page draft sanctions resolution agreed by the big powers in the UN this week was surprisingly tough, given Moscow and Beijing's frequent protestations that they dislike sanctions…
