2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience
sanfromva Posts: 14Does anyone know any new promotions for 13'Accord? And if Flex cash will be available to dealers this month too? Thanks.0
tjolko Posts: 13I'll second this comment on Pohanka. They were very transparent with no games or surprises (I purchased an EX-L 4cyl from them on April 20...see my earlier posts for details) It was well worth it to me for the drive up to VA. The local dealers around here (Charlotte) are trying to sell the Accord at list. It is amazing how much you can save by using this forum to arm yourself with pricing info.0
Haggle some more. I'm seeing estimates in the high 22's... go in at 22000 and see if they counter offer.
Im assuming this is for a EX CVT?0
Im in Mass and this is just FWIW. I went it on April 30 not looking to buy at all...just wanted to get an idea because my current car is up there in age. I test drove an 2013 LX CVT and liked it. I sat down and after the typical sales pitch routine and me showing no interest whatsoever, the salesman said and I quote "If we come down to $19000, would you consider buying from us?"
This just shows how "aggressive" they can get at the end of the month. If you're still in the market, go back at the end of this month and start at $19000. Good Luck!0
Congrats on your new car. Im in MA too and I was wondering where you bought your car? is it manual or CVT?0
jivana Posts: 4What do you mean by 25.8 OTD? Does this number include taxes, title and all?0
Just curious, was the flex cash shown on the paperwork as a $500 discount on a separate line or did the dealer just take $500 off the car's price with no mention of it on the paperwork?
Not sure if dealers have a time limit to use it, but if it doesn't show up on the paperwork then I think most dealers just keep the funds on the backend. If it does show up on the paperwork then they may just hold on to it to use on slow days/weeks or near the end of the month to close borderline sales0
OTD is "out the door" or everything included
Unless you live in the same area as the posted deal you shouldn't look at the OTD price since tax/title/license vary based on where you live and documentation fees are capped in some states and not in others so those will vary by dealership and/or state
Look at car prices posted here with destination fee & doc fee to get an idea of what you should be paying for the car before tax/title/license/accessories -- vluu posted the full cost breakdown of the deal he got a few posts back0
Comparison of the 2013 camry le with the 2013 accord
1. Dash - The dash of the 2013 accord looks cheap. The camry's dash has a leather look with accent stitching giving it an upscale look.
2. Side panels - The side panels in an accord looked too much plastic and not upscale. The side panels in the camry looks like leather although it is not and does not look like plastic.
3. Audio - The accord audio sounds as if its a 20 year old radio with the sound having the quality as if its coming from a coke tin. The touchscreen audio on the camry is simply awesome. Love the clarity of the sound and the options with the good bass effect.
4. Seat comfort - I have a long drive everyday. The accord seats were hard whereas the camry's seats are not too hard and not too soft. Just right. The camry's seat base is lowered at the end of the base helping your lower back get full support to the bottom of your back. The accord's seats are not bad but wont give the same lower and full back support as the camry.
5. Glovebox lock - I was expecting the glovebox of the accord to have a lock. It does not. The camry does have a lock.
6. Ride - The ride on the accord is relatively rough. Some people consider this as their flavor of being sporty. The camry ride is quiet and the focus is on the audio or the super clear Bluetooth. The best part in the camry is the sport mode which is not available in the accord making the drive a bit boring. I really liked the extra passing power I was getting with this sport(aka automanual) mode in the camry le.
7. Drive - Accord's drive is cvt which is not well engaging versus geared camry with the sport mode.
8. Legacy - CVT is not proven on the Honda. The auto transmission of the camry is very proven. Lookup carcomplaints.com. The first year of all the accord model year changes are having the most problems. 2003, 2008 and may be 2013. Not sure but the prior pattern exists.
9. Design - The accord's design looks old whereas the camry's looks modern.
10. Space - Visually speaking, the camry's space is undoubtedly more although the specs try to tell you something else.
11. Windnoise - Accord has far more windnoise from the driver side. Stepping into the camry was a big relief when test driving one after another.
12. Wheels - I like the wheels on the accord.
13. Seat cloth - The light color cloth on the camry has some kind of self design and a stripe on the back but both cars have bad cloth seats giving a cheap look.
14. Center box lid extender and sun screen extender - The accord does not have these both and I want my hand to be supported while driving. Love this on the camry.
15. Backup camera - Love the backup camera on the accord but I still have to look on both sides to see if anyone is coming behind my car and cannot totally rely on the backup camera even if this was on my Toyota camry. This was not a deal breaker. The parking with the markings is probably an advantage.
16. Design - The accord definitely copied a lot from the 2013 lexus es 350 i.e. dash design, tail lights, front leds design etc.(Checkout both cars before commenting on this point.). The worst part is the accord's tail lights are the same as Hyundai genesis and I am not a fan of Hyundai cars and their false promising techniques with the mileage etc. Camry designed on their own and no copying needed and I like that independent design and other cars don't have this design and most importantly, I don't think of Hyundai genesis when I look at my camry's taillights. This is the first time Accord did this.
17. Fuel consumption - Looked up fuelly.com and the forum on Edmunds.com and the mpg of both are comparable. I made sure I was not comparing camry hybrid. I am getting 34 to 37 on my camry le.
18. Financing - Camry has 0% whereas accord has 1.9% as their lowest. Also, camry has a grad rebate of 500.
19. Maintenance - Camry has two year free maintenance(or 25k miles) whereas the accord does not. However, Camry does not have a maintenance minder and after the free 25k, the camry maintenance will be very expensive compared to the maintenance minder driven cost experience on my accord/civic.
By the way, I don't work for Toyota and this is the first time I bought a Toyota car. I had three accords and one civic right before this car and I am an accord fan and one of my cars had 175000 miles with zero problems. However, the comparison this time turned out to be like above.0
Am in DE. Will buy anywhere in state as well as PA, NJ, DC, MD, VA to get this best deal possible.
I buy cars every 10 years or so. Current car is 2004 EXL-v6 that I have really liked a lot. I seek the help of the generous hearts in this forum to give helpful advice and warnings to heed.
Have test driven both EXL-4 & 6, and can't justify extra cost for v6. The 4 seems peppy enough. But do want navigation - it's my adult toy and I don't get to have too many toys, so this is it.
Been reading through this forum a lot and find people's buying experiences all over the map in terms of price.
I will pay cash for new car if that gets me a better deal, though I see they have extended 0.09% / 24 months financing through July 8 and that adds the $500 flex cash.
I went to the local Honda shop yesterday. Got quotes way too high. Now trying to get through Internet sales. Any tips or advice on what is a really good deal and what isn't? Any suggestions of which dealer(s) to try out in the DE, PA, MD, DC, VA area? I am willing to drive a couple hundred miles or so to get a better deal.
Thanks in advance.0
I would start by requesting internet quotes from the top 3 dealers in all states based on dealerrater.com. Watch out for high processing fee and county specific extra taxes in VA. You will probably get a good deal in MD and they cant charge more than 200 processing fee. Don't worry about waiving the processing fee initially but compare the total numbers first and then negotiate the processing fee waiver as the next step and then negotiate the inclusion of free accessories. Make them compete with each other and if any dealer is asking you for a written quote, mention that "The other dealer who gave this best price wont give it in writing as he fears that I will price match this with another dealer." The three dealerships in DE cant even come close based on the quotes that I got. I personally did not like my experience with the dealership in Dover and will never buy a car from them in future. Criswell gave very good quotes and prices unheard of on this forum. Fredericksburg VA was equally good including the high processing fee. Others could not compete with these quotes and were almost 1k to 2k more as their best rock bottom quote. The trick is to get all the quotes from others to get a feel of the landscape first before hitting volume shops like criswell etc and trying to beat the prices over the last day of the month mentioning you will buy the car today if they honor a price on your mind. Stick to your price and be very stern. The local dealer may not price match your final best quote but worth a try before heading out of state. Buying locally will help you with any issues with the car immediately after the purchase (I ended up buying the camry for the first time although I got some good prices on the accord.)0

vluu Posts: 100The $500 shows up as a cash down payment on the bill of sale. It doesn't say anything next to it besides "Cash". This $500 was added to what I down for the Accord.
The only down side is that, your final sale price is higher so tax is a little higher, but you the customer still come out on top since it's free $$.0
Outside of the Accords terrible radio speakers. The 2013 Camry is BUTT Ugly. And in all the reviews the Camry is slipping away. But dont tell CR that. This is Honda's best Accord yet.
You buy a 20k... Le/ Camry and think the dash and cockpit is upscale.

May be you are right and I wish I felt the same too.
I have been a Honda fan all my life(Honda Accord exl was my most recent car and had the three generation models before) and hated the Toyotas but the 2013 Honda accord's CVT is not Honda's DNA. Simulating the CVT to reflect a traditional Honda transmission was close but having had too many Hondas in the past, I am so used to the Honda Accord and I personally did not get the same opinion for the first time with this 2013 CVT. The sound of the engine is very much not like the traditional Honda.
By the way, the comparison was between the camry le and the accord lx and the upscale reference was between these similarly priced car models and the dash is the same even in higher end models of these cars. The cockpit is different in the higher end models of these two cars and the Accord wins there(similar to why I liked my exl) with the perforated leather and the looks without the ugly stripe like in the camry.0

This is why it's good to have choices. My experience was just the opposite. I REALLY wanted to like the Toyota Camry Hybrid but I just did not like driving it and did not like the interior. Loved the Accord EX-L CVT and thought it had a wonderfully intuitive layout inside that looks good too. It's a little different because I was driving the upper trim level on each car. In order of what we thought we would like it was Camry Hybrid, Altima, Accord. In reality turned out to be exactly opposite!'14 Buick Encore Convenience

A true Honda fan would NEVER let a wonderful Honda engine languish behind any kind of automatic transmission.
I have been driving Hondas for the last 20 years, I have given automatics a try, but they are just bleh, compared to the same vehicle with a manual transmission and a clutch.
That is where Honda's soul has always been, in connecting the driver to the vehicle, so that they are one.
I test drove the 2013 Accord EX 6 spd manual, and I can tell you, the soul is still there, hidden under all that pseudo luxury. Rev it up to the redline before shifts, and the car just wakes up. It is a beast! Downshift before entering the curve, and then punch it as you exit the apex, the weight shift causes the car just hug the radius, as if it were on rails.
You simply can not do any of that with an automatic, and that is where Honda lost its soul. They sold out. Used to be that the most powerful Honda in the line up could only be had with a manual, but, good luck finding Accord EX V6 Sedan with a stick. The only way to get it is in the coupe, or as Acura TL Type S.
Sad, sad, sad.
P.S. A few years ago, Car and Driver folks transplanted a manual transmission out of Acura TL into Honda Oddyssey minivan. They have created a beast of a minivan. And as much as people hate driving minivans, they had people lining up to take a turn in a manually shifted Oddyssey. Even if the most mundane/sedate of the Honda's, a mini-van can be fun to drive with stick, think what other vehicles would be like. Wake up Honda! There are people who actually like driving, and not being drones.0
I applaud your passion, and I have driven many manuals in my day, but I am never buying a manual transmission car again. If Honda or any other car maker limited themselves to manuals, they would have a very small market indeed in the United States. And a manual minivan! Three kids in the back, you don't have enough hands as it is! THE HORROR!!!'14 Buick Encore Convenience

huskerfan5 Posts: 165car buyer 2013, you forgot to mention one other difference between the Camry and the Accord.
The Accord aced the new SmallOverlap Front Test. This type of crash contributes to more deaths and injuries than the other type of frontal crash also tested (Moderate Overlap). Accord got a "Good". Camry didn't get a "Good", an "Acceptable" or a "Marginal". It got a "Poor". That's why the Accord is a Top Safety Pick Plus. The Camry is grandfathered under the old rules for 2013 so it keeps it Top Safety Pick designation but loses it next year. So enjoy your new Camry but please drive safe, or just admire it in your driveway.0

I have contacted them through their Internet dept. They offered $26,723, but I need to know if that is OTD (which I doubt) and what additional charges are included (e.g. tax, processing fee, etc.).0
Thank you for the advice. I didn't even know about http://dealerrater.com/ and certainly will plug in some requests there.
I hear you about Dover - Price Honda's bottom line on this car is 28,630. Compare that to the one place I did get a quote on (Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg) which was $26,723. Makes me wonder how much this car actually costs the dealer, because I know they need to make some sort of profit. I am still waiting to hear back from Pohanka in Salsbury.
And yes, "stick to the price and be firm"0

Financing they offered me 2.69 for 72 months in order to have my monthly payment under $400 (399).
I cold have get it for $500 less from Pohanka but this dealer gave me 7years 100,000 powertrain waranty included and he was who spent all the time with me (3 test drives) and is close to my house also. (Colonial Honda, Tom, very very good guy). Also I did not discuss with Pohanka the financing.
Mechanicville Honda was willing to match the deal but I am not sure about their willing to buy down the rate for 72 months to 2.69 with Honda Financial.
Be ready to walk out the dealership......thats what I did when they were fighting about the APR and could not give anything below 3.49 for 72 months ..... in 2 seconds they gave me 2.69%
Thank you all for posting, I learned a lot from you and I think I was able to close a good deal (anyhow it was better than probably I would have done without this forum). Thanks brian125 and others.0
Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg was very aggressive in price matching and the internet manager was prompt in responding and will tell you if he cannot go lower. To make your search quicker, you can forget about PA and DE dealers totally as they cant come close plus you have to deal with "Bring us the quote and we will price match" and when you bring the quote in an email, they will ask for a buyers order or show some kind of policy that they will not price match if the quote is in an email. Not worth the hassle. However, if they are willing to price match, its good for you. Stick to the MD/VA and you will find a super good deal + end of month + 6pm or closing time. Even the NJ dealerships could not compete but were decent. In NY the advantage is less processing fee compared to MD. One of the PA dealerships told me that in MD they are allowed to give huge discounts for some reason whereas the PA dealerships are not.
On top of the high prices at the Dover showroom, my personal experience dealing with them was the crappiest compared to the many dealers in these 5 states. I am never visiting that place again.
For financing, check out the <1% Penfed Credit Union rate or the 1.9% DCU (72 months option at 2.49%). If you cant get the Honda financing for the rate you want, these alternatives will help you with negotiating or receiving cash back instead of having to select the Honda low rate. Compare the difference in interest based on how long you think you are going to keep the car to be able to decide.
Remember to create a separate email address as the dealerships will keep sending automated followups, salesman followups, funny advertisements making us think we are idiots, huge inventory sale, free life time engine warranty, some genuine lifetime oil changes related emails etc but will not match your price. You can forget about this new email address after your purchase is over with that one finalized dealership.0
What are your thoughts on Price honda in D.E.. Did you call them .This dealership was matching Weymouth honda's price in M.a.. I dealt with John who was the sales mgr.and i thought for sure i was buying there but i nailed down a good price closer to my N.y home on Feb 28th.
I sent a forum member there to buy a exl v-6 accord and Price Honda did not want to honor a price..

buyer157 Posts: 40Hi everyone. Went in to a honda dealer here on long island today, primarily interested in the CRV, but was seriously impressed by the new accord. Wasn't ready to commit to buying anything today, but the salesperson (a nice person with a low pressure air) sat me down and said that when I was ready to come back and do a deal, he would be willing to sell me a car for as little as 100$ over invoice.
Reading over these threads, clearly cars are being sold below invoice.
Any folks out there in the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT) purchase either an LX or a Sport Accord sedan with CVT? Would love to know what you actually paid OTD.
Really appreciate your help.0
dclive Posts: 35I'd suggest looking at what people pay for the car, without worrying about OTD (ie tax). What you pay should be the going rate, including any dealership fees; tax is set by the state and not something you can negotiate (ie everything else can be negotiated).....0
I agree.. the price range on a conservative side for the Accord in New york is 700 to 1200 below invoice price. visit dealerships on the last days of this month to get this kind of pricing..
New york doc fee's are .........$75
N.J. doc's are between...........200 to 400 dollars

bxteach Posts: 16Having some problems with my 2008 EX-L w/Navi. The car has been a jinx upon purchasing. Between the class-action suit on the brakes, windows malfunctioning, and my busted cd-changer, I figured it was time to get a new Accord.
Being that I'm fairly sure I want to purchase a new car, I decided to email/visit some dealers. I am planning on using the 1.9% for 60 months. Here is what I got (I'm basing this on 7.375 % tax, $75 doc fees, and registration) for a NEW 2013 EX-L V6 with navigation.
Yonkers Honda:
-I made an offer of under $29k this car. The dealer immediately stated that I was nuts and that the car would easily be $31k or more. He told me they were "scarce" and that was that. I emailed back and told him that scarce is not an adjective synonymous with Honda Accords. Done emailing.
Honda of Nanuet:
-Emailed me a price quote of $29,126, but it did not mention with or without destination. That's a crap shoot and wasn't interested in driving to that dealer to negotiate further unless I was really buying the car that day.
Curry Honda:
-Emailed me a price quote of $30,317 WITH destination.
Tarrytown Honda:
-Decided to go into dealership because that is where I purchased the 2008. Dealt with someone really nice and spent the necessary time with me. Took the car for a drive again and loved it even more. I wanted to get "13,000" for my car. In all actuality, I know I wasn't going to get that. However, I'm not gonna low ball myself. According to Galves, he said my car is worth $10,900, but they would need to subtract $500 to recondition it, making their offer $10,400. I wasn't thrilled with that and he could tell. There are 67,000 highway miles on it and it's in fairly good condition. He then quoted me $31,000 for the 2013. To make a long story short, I told him both prices weren't where I needed them to be. He also stated that the flex cash was not available for those purchasing the car. It was only for those who leased. As I walked out, he gave me a quote of $29,770 for the 2013 and $10,900 for my car. I left happy because Memorial Day Weekend is coming and I have no problem waiting until summer for the car.
I have read some posts in here that state they have purchased this car for much less than $29,000. However, it seems like the end of the month is the best time to make my move.
If anyone has any other luck, I'd be happy to hear about it. I'm willing to travel and work for a deal, but it's got to make sense. "Dancing" with the dealers is not how I like to spend my time, but it's sometimes needed to get what you want.0

Russian Anti-Gay Neo-Nazi Leader & Torturer Of Gay Teens Arrested In Cuba
Maxim Martsinkevich, the leader of the Russian anti-gay Neo-Nazi group Occupy Pedophilia. You'll recognize Maxim as the face of the group which lured gay Russian teens via the internet and then tortured them, airing the footage on video.
Martsinkevich fled to Cuba in December following his arrest for "extremism" in Russia. He previously proposed that he serve his sentence "virtually."
The head of a Russian neo-Nazi group that's accused of torturing LGBT youth, fled to Cuba last month but was arrested in the Caribbean country on Sunday, Russia's official news agency RIA Novosti reports.
According to a statement made by the Russian Interior Ministry, Cuban police told Russian authorities that Maxim Martsinkevich, the leader of "Occupy Paedophillia," was arrested through Interpol.
Last month Martsinkevich, also known as Tesak (Russian for "machete"), was arrested last month in absentia by a Russian court after being charged with extremism.
According to reports, Martsinkevich and his group took to popular Russian social media websites to lure LGBT teens, then torture and humiliate them by bullying their victims while recording them. The clips of the abuse were posted online so they could out the youth to their friends, families and schools.
While we hope they lock him up and throw away the key, we wonder whether President Putin and the Russian justice system truly believe he's guilty of any crime, considering their own anti-gay stance?
Perhaps they could send him here...
H/T: Queerty
Sorry for being that extreme or radical, but I think those people doesn't deserve to live in the society. They need to be captivity with cockroach for breakfast. I cannot believe that there is still some people in the world thinking that homosexuality deserve that kind of treatment. SHAME TO RUSSIA. Hope is rotting in a jail somewhere ( sorry for that extreme thinking again)
The guy on the right is getting more sexual satisfaction than the kid. Looks like bondage to me and I'm guessing he is sodomizing the gay kids and using this as an excuse. Vladimir Putin, your pedophiles look just like this so called torturer and now you have made it ok for pedophiles to do exactly what they want and get away with it.
I am deeply disappointed in humanity after reading these posts about this evil, evil man. I am mortified the published the victims faces,.... This whole charade is disgusting.
This man,...he is evil. He committed crimes. Horrible crimes. Absolutely horrible crimes. It is deeply disappointing that a human can carry out theses acts of torture - that are similar to the Nazi's behavior towards Jews,..Gays and RUSSIANS alike.
Evil never learns,...people continue to be bad. I feel that many times there is little hope left to be had. Even more so when this entire set of events parades the victims as if it doesn't matter.
Ya there are lots of idiots out there. Usually there is a link between being homophobic, racist, and being a bully. I say its time to go bully hunting and bash their heads in. The only response these people (racists,bullies,homophobes) understand is extreme violence....why not give it to them????Find out where they live and blow up their house & take care of their family too. Thats what i say! Fuck em.
I completely agree.... why is this picture up here showing his face? That's awful, he's been through enough... People are so disturbed, it's sad. He clearly has unresolved conflicts he doesn't know how to deal with because we live in a cursed world. It's a shame people are able to get to the point of torturing another soul. Let's lean on each other and stop judging and hating so people don't get to this point anymore.
99% of the time when someone is homophobic, they are in fact attracted to the same sex. Don't believe me? It's probably because you don't read, or because you simply don't want to accept the truth. Want to know another interesting fact? Most men who molest little boys are straight. But what does this accomplish? It probably just pisses straight people off with these tendencies.

Is there a translation of those three dramas somewhere in the forums? I mean, I would appreciate those drama tracks if I understand what they were talking about.
Although I have an idea of what happened in the drama track on the first character CD - something about Ooishi losing to the batsu game and wearing something really "kaiii~" that Rena wanted to take him home... perhaps?

Nope, no translations. I believe some people can give you a summary of the dramaCD.
I believe i was "kinda" able to understand what is going on the 3 drama, though the start of Rena no kaii mono was a bit obscure...

i could really use the lyrics to the full op and ed, i ordered them, and they just came in today.
i also noticed that both of my ending and openings came with a card, the two put together create part of a whole image. It looks like 4 more are needed, but does that mean kai is getting its own ost, or is there a ard in the drama cds.

The tree tracks other than NnH are moderately good. Which doesn't mean much.
Naraku no Hana is everything I could ask for. It fixed the only thing I had against the opening - the abrupt finish, and added another verse to lengthen the song...
I was listening with my eyes closed and thought that would be all. Pretty satisfying. And then the variation on the first verse came, and it was lovely.
In terms of transition from a short opening to a full song, NnH is an example for other songs to follow.

Oh, thanks for the summaries, Klashikari. That helps.
Just got the OP and ED singles...
As expected, Naraku no Hana in full is made of pure win. As for the ED, Taishou a, as much as it is kept being compared to the season one OP, why, or why not, the song is good on its own.
The B-side tracks for both, FLOW for the OP single and Rothschild Rh- for the ED single are nice tracks as well. Especially FLOW - it has a nice, cool vibe.
Simply put it, these singles are definitely worth the wait and the download.

Someone asked for the full OP lyrics, and while I don't consider myself all that good of a translator, I did some work of my own on it, taking Ayu's work on the OP portion of the song and expanding it and their style to the second verse, and figured I may as well post it here. Apologies in advance for any error in translation, I make no guarantees as to my abilities here:

A Northern Irish producer is among a group of five jailed for a $4.2 million tax fraud, which they attempted to cover-up by making the indie movie "A Landscape of Lies." In a major plot twist the low-budget movie, with a B-list cast, went on to win an award at an American film festival before the scam's cover was blown.
Five producers from various parts of Britain - Bashar Al-Issa, Tariq Hassan, Ian Sherwood, Osama Al Baghdady and Aoife Madden, from Newry, County Antrim - have been sentenced to jail time. Madden will spend four years and eight months in prison, the others sentences vary.
The team had told the British government they were producing a made-in-Britain movie, with A-list actors and a $28.8 million budget, financed by a Jordanian firm. In a plot worthy of Ben Affleck's recent award-winning movie "Argo," the movie was a sham.
The Telegraph reported that Madden (31), an actress-turned-teacher, had claimed she was related to Irish actress Sinead Cusack. She even said she could get Jeremy Irons involved in the production.
Madden claimed she had an office in London's Harley Street, however this was just an empty room. She also successfully scammed the government into thinking that the movie was being made,4 showing them footage that was filmed in her apartment.
The sham movie was set up to claim nearly $2.27 million in goods and services tax for work that was not being done, along with $1.97 million as part of a government program, which allows filmmakers to claim back 25 percent of their expenditure as tax relief.
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, Britain's tax agency, said the con-artists had already received $2.58 million before the agency's checks showed "that the work had not been done and most of the so-called suppliers and film studios had never heard of the gang," the Huffington Post reports.
In April 2011 the five movie producers were arrested on suspicion of tax fraud. Instead of coming clean they set about making a movie, quickly.
Paul Knight, a true-crime writer, was hired to write and direct the movie "A Landscape of Lies." The movie's IMDB page describes the plot as a crime thriller following a vet "haunted by the memories of his time in the Gulf war" trying "to adjust to civilian life aided mainly by his friendship with his commanding officer."
Andrea McLean, one of the hosts of chat show "Loose Women" and Marc Bannerman, formerly of soap, "Eastenders," were both cast in the movie. The cast and crew all believed they were involved in a legitimate low-budget movie. They are not accused of any involvement in the fraud.
The movie went straight to DVD in Britain in 2011 and won a Silver Ace award at last year's Las Vegas Film Festival.
Prosecution, Rebecca Chalkey, said of Madden, "The prosecution accepts that at the outset she wanted to make a film and may have believed this was a genuine project. There came a point, however, when that changed."
She added, "This was not a film production. It was a charade. The whole purpose was to steal money from the public purse."
Here's the trailer for "A Landscape of Lies":
Here Paul Knight, the director and writer of the movie, talks about how proud he is of the movie and how he and the cast and crew knew nothing about the scam:

So after all the help from chowhound I wanted to report back on our experiences in Venice this October:
Wed after arriving from NY we went to Cantinone del Vino Gia Schiavi for wine and small sandwiches. Delicious first experience. We were going to go to dinner to Ai 4 Feri but literally next door was La Bitta. We thought the atmosphere at La Bitta was way more romantic and cozy for our first night. Feri looked more like a pizza parlor place,in terms of atmosphere. Very bright; just a personal choice. We were extremely jet lagged at this point which might have influenced our opinion. But we did not like the waiter or the people at the La Bitta and probably ended up making a wrong choice. Should have stuck with chowhound recommendations. Food was OK but very heavy; not great. Hardly remember what I had really.
Thur: we had lunch at Alle Testiere( pouring rain; hard to find the place as first time in Venice and hard to see way through all the umbrellas); very good. I had razor clams to start; yum! Husband had a large shrimp in garlic sauce. Also excellent; as main course I had a local fish and hubby had pasta with clams (sorry about not writing down Italian actual names. We did take pictures of each course, which was touristy enough. Couldn't spend time writing everything down too). Of course as tiramisu lovers we had to try that for dessert. And we also had a lite chocolate cake dessert with whip cream and other delicious things. The whole meal was wonderful. The service was great too; there was a couple from NY sitting next to us and they were real foodies. Their food also looked very good and they enjoyed the place although they didn't think it as good as their dinner the other night at a place I have already forgotten.
Thurs dinner was at Fiaschetteria Toscana. We liked this so much we went back for dinner the next night! I kept the receipt so can say exactly what we had: first course: Cappesante Nostra Forno ( Scallops) and Gamberetti Con Polenta; excellent! Next course was Gnocchi Porcini and Tagliolini Tartufo. The tagliolini was expensive ( 34 euros but divine; had to try truffles once while in Europe. Then we had our sides. We had ordered Fondi Di Carciofo, which was the most disappointing, as it was mushy. But artichokes really aren't in season so we shouldn't have ordered. We also had Verdure Fritte; dessert was Crème Brule' and Crostata Crème Fichi (a fig tart); we were stuffed but the whole meal and experience was a delight. Again we made reservations for the next night as we enjoyed the meal so much
Friday we went out to Murano and just had a sandwich at a deli for lunch. Dinner was supposed to be at Antiche Carampane but the only reservations we could get were for 9:30 PM, which was very late for us considering we were picking up a rental car in the morning to go to Austria. This is another reason we ate at Fiaschetteria Toscana again on Friday night. For starters we had Tagliolini Neri Astice and Sogliolette in Saor( had to try Saor at least once while in Venice). Very good. For main course we had Spaghetti Cozze Mazzanco and Tagliata Lombo Chianina with a salad to split; for dessert we had Rovesciata Di Mele Caramele and Crostata Alle Mandorle. Highly recommend Fiaschetteria Toscana.
We had wine with our lunches and dinners but I didn't note them as we are not wine connoisseurs and generally are happy with whatever the waiters recommend. This time they did not steer us wrong and we enjoyed the wine immensely throughout Italy. All in all I liked Venice but the food cannot compare to Bologna (see separate post) where we went for two days after our week in Austria (see separate post). Also we liked the food best in Southern Italy from last year's trip (mostly Puglia)

do you have any "cross section" picture of your cornicione? I cannot remember to have seen you posted any, and since you definetely have one the puffiest, most amazing cornicione around here, it would very interesting to see how it looks like.
Hi Bill that is a beautiful pizza & I think the crust does all the talking. How long would you say you settled in on your dough recipe. I've looked back at older posts & your dough looks just the same "perfect". I have 2 Questions Hydration & % of Ischia or maybe just your whole method. I know there are alot of varibles but I like to try your style. Thanks Jimmy Mak
Thanks for that honest answer but I was hoping for a base line & then move on from there. I know what your saying I kind of feel the same way. I struggled with the room fermentation which IMO is harder to control. Thanks Jimmy Mak
Bill have you considered growing your own porcini mushrooms? Compost, nice cool dark spot, chopped up mushroom?
Bill how did you roast the mushrooms, did you put them in foil and put them in the oven for a minute or so?
Bill, that looks amazing as usual. I do have a question though. That is one of the more well done pies i have seen you post pictures of. Is that just coloration coming from the russian starter, a different fermentation regimine, your preference changing, or just a couple seconds longer than normal. Just curious -marc

I met a guy one time who claims he met Elvis (after his death). He was sitting in a mall and a guy walked up in an Elvis costume and accent. The guy kinda looked away from him for a while and then turned and asked, "Do I know you?". The Elvis guy said, "Maybe so... "Finally the Elvis guy got up and walked off. This guy followed him and saw him get on a bus. While the bus was pulling out, the Elvis guy gave him a wink.I still don't believe that story...

Oldham manager Lee Johnson endured an eventful night last night as his side were beaten 2-0 by title favourites Wolves.
On the night, Johnson found himself gunned down both by Wolves striker Leigh Griffiths who scored the second goal, but also by Wolves midfielder James Henry.
Henry scored the opener on the night, but it was during the first half where the former Millwall striker really grabbed the limelight.
The surface at Molineux had been slippery all night, and the inevitable happened as 6" 1" Henry charged towards the touchline to save a wayward pass. In the process Henry wiped out young manager Johnson who had no time to react to the crunching tackle.
Luckily, there was no malicious intent and after dusting himself down Johnson returned to his feet to unfortunately watch his team lose 2-0.
Watch the madness unfold above!

If you want to contact us outside of normal office hours, a good tip is to try to contact us direct via our mobile number - the landline numbers are always diverted to that phone, but diverted calls only show up as "diverted office call", making it impossible to call you back if we should miss you for any reason - missing a call is something we don't want to do, but it's sometimes unavoidable - especially when driving to and from tournament visits!
Alternatively, an e-mail or a message via our "contact us" form (now working again) will usually be answered within 24 hours of its being sent - depending on where we are at that time!
We look forward to hearing from you!
We are suffering from some technical problems at the moment - problems that prevent new products being correctly added to categories in our shop - we are adding as many new products as possible to our online database, but these new items are only to be found using the search function....please do try the "search" box - our new STX ladies Crux Mesh can be found that way!
If you can't see what you want online, please contact us - we have all kinds of options available, but these technical problems sometimes mean that even items that are in stock can't be displayed online.
We are busy developing a new online presence for Prolaxshop.com - we should be back to normal very soon!
In the meantime, please don't be afraid to ask if we can supply you with what you want! We are always happy to help you find the best solution to suit your needs!
Looking forward to the rest of 2018, we are planning on making an appearance at the following events (amongst others):
December 1st - 2nd 2018 LaBox, Göttingen
December 8th - 9th 2018 TLT Bielefeld
Thanks are due to the organisers and teams we have already met at the following events in 2018:
Wageningen Warriors 5th Anniversary tournament
ELF Women's Easter International tournament @ Hannover
ISB Brussels Junior tournament 2018
DLaxV Playoffs 2018 Men @ BHC, Women @ Hannover
DLaxV Junior DM @ Frankfurt
DLaxV DM @ Dortmund
Amsterdam Lowlands
Berlin Open 2018
KLax-Cup 2018 Kaiserslautern
KLM / Kieler Lacrosse Meeting
Beate Uhse Cup (BUC) Würzburg
Konstanz Bodensee Tournament
Aachen Lacrosse 20th Anniversary event, Aachen
NSLV Keizerstad Kannibalz Newcomers Tournament, Nijmegen
As you will see from the list above, even now, despite the fact that there isn't so much year left, there are still a few weekends where we have no tournament appearance planned as yet - if you have any bright ideas, or are thinking of setting up a new tournament, please let us know!
These 2018 dates will be added to and amended as information materialises!....
Don't forget - if you are travelling to a tournament and want us to bring something for you to look at or try out, please don't hesitate to let us know!
We do have masses of stock, but we can't bring it all with us!
If you want to see ProLaxShop "live" at any other time, your best option for the moment is come to see us at our warehouse in Eschweiler near Aachen...
All-comers are welcome, but please contact us before you travel to make sure we are going to be here ready to greet you!
We'll be seeing you!

A Refreshing Aqua & Orange Boy's Nursery
Name: Baby Boy Sander
Location: Dallas, Texas
For our baby boy's room, I didn't want to shy away from color or pattern and wanted to give it a more modern feel than the rest of our home. I went with an orange and aqua color palette and hope it will be a bright and happy space for him.
We added the window seat and built-ins to the room for storage instead of going with a dresser. The built-ins also double as a changing table, which I am sure will come in handy. The wallpaper behind the crib adds a nice graphic element to the room.
As an interior designer, I have the pleasure of designing homes for wonderful clients. Still, there is nothing I love more than designing a space for my own family, especially for our new baby boy.

Small Space Potting Station Inspiration
I've long dreamed of having a cute little potting shed...and the cute green thumb to go along with it. However at the moment any extra storage space is a luxury, so the thought of a having a whole shed designated for plants is a bit of a stretch. These small space potting shelves, tables, and benches, on the other hand, are looking pretty doable.
With so many recycled options, potting stations can easily be achieved on a budget too. Let's take a look...
1. The DIY kings at Sunset magazine created an awesome potting shelf out of recycled ladders— double green! Check out the full details at Sunset Mag.
2. An outdoor cocktail table— slatted teak or metal ones work well — can be repurposed as a mini potting station, hold essentials and look classy too.
3. Use a flea market cabinet to keep gardening supplies safe from the elements. Sturdy hard woods can often withstand years of exposure, but you can also coat the exterior in marine floor paint for added protection.
4. & 5. The talented Kristina of Lovely Morning blog created her potting bench out of a thrifted table and wooden crates from flea markets. Check out more details on her blog.
6. Craft a simple outdoor shelf out of a wooden plank and no-frills hardware store brackets for an instant potting station fit for nearly any exterior wall.
7. Perhaps a little too country for most, but I love the vintage feel of this wagon turned gardening station. Scrap wood was used for shelves and old screen door springs were used as lips to keep supplies from falling off.

She's endorsed same-sex marriage. She's lamented a Supreme Court decision that she warns will limit minority voting. She's urged Congress to rewrite the nation's immigration laws.
And she's derided the "sorry state of our own politics," blaming the partisan gridlock in Washington for deep automatic spending cuts, a 16-day government shutdown and a near-miss on debt default.
Since stepping down as the nation's top diplomat last year, Hillary Clinton has embarked on a frenetic cross-country tour, speaking to massive crowds on a series of issues that could put her in a better position if she decides to run for president.
"By talking about those issues, she is . . . inserting herself in the conversation," said Maria Cardona, a former Clinton spokeswoman in 2008 who now works at Dewey Square Group, a public affairs firm.
Clinton has shied away from more contentious issues, such as Social Security benefits and Iran's nuclear program. That strategy has prompted some to chide her for "hiding" from the issues.
"The Democrats' 2016 front-runner is in hiding," America Rising, a conservative opposition research group, wrote in November. "That demonstrates just how weak her party's current political position is and underscores that Hillary, more than anything, is a political animal."
Still, Clinton's strategy is designed to let her re-enter the political debate on her own terms after four years at the State Department, when the secretary of state was largely precluded from talking freely about domestic policies.
"It seems to me these things she has chosen to speak out on are aimed at making sure her name stays out there," said Gilda Cobb-Hunter, a South Carolina legislator who's a member of the Democratic National Committee.
After nearly a year out of office, Clinton can check many topics off her to-do list, the same topics that might help her solidify and build on the coalition of young voters, minorities and gays and lesbians that Barack Obama amassed to defeat her for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.
The new federal health care law. Check. Trayvon Martin, the black teen killed by a gunman in Florida. Check. National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden. Check
"Everything she is doing is putting her in a stronger position to run," said Mark Mellman, a leading Democratic pollster.
Clinton, 66, said recently that she hadn't made up her mind about running. She expects to decide later this year.
"It's such a difficult decision, and it's one that I'm not going to rush into . . . and I don't think we should be looking at the next election," Clinton said in an interview late last year for the ABC News special "Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013."
"We should be looking at the work that we have today. Our unemployment rate is too high. We have people getting kicked off food stamps who are in terrible economic straits. Small business is not getting credit. I could go on and on, so I think we ought to pay attention to what's happening right now."
The former first lady, U.S. senator from New York and secretary of state is already the presumed front-runner for her party's nomination in 2016. And she's widely expected to receive an additional boost of momentum from those looking to elect the nation's first female president.
EMILY's List, which helps elects Democratic women who support abortion rights, launched an effort called Madam President last year to help propel a woman into the White House. The campaign isn't about Clinton but the group doesn't seem to mind too much when people see her in the role. "We really would love to see Hillary Clinton run for president," said the group's president, Stephanie Schriock. "We believe she has the experience, passion, values."
Clinton dominates the potential field of candidates for her party's nomination by huge margins, with a more than 5-to-1 advantage over her nearest rival, according to a recent McClatchy-Marist poll. Vice President Joe Biden is weighing a third run for the White House, but so far Clinton has eclipsed him.
She's received endorsements from Sens. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. She has the backing of a political action committee, Ready for Hillary, which claims to have more than a million supporters lined up, including top Obama campaign adviser Mitch Stewart, former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and former Bill Clinton campaign strategist James Carville. And she already has journalists trailing her around the country as if she were a candidate.
Republicans have been gearing up for a second run for years, attacking her on a slew of policy issues and, most recently, for her role before and after the 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including an ambassador.
Kevin Madden, a Republican consultant who worked for 2012 presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, said her supporters were trying – but not succeeding – to convince Americans that Clinton had changed since she last ran.
"Everybody sort of talks about the new Hillary," he said. "But she's been a part of Democratic politics for last 30 years. . . . The new Hillary is the same as the old Hillary."
Last February, a visibly exhausted Clinton left the State Department after traveling to 112 countries in four years. She said she planned to spend time with family and friends, watch home design shows and write a memoir.
However, she soon joined the speaking circuit and launched a series of campaigns on public policy issues.
Clinton, some say, is campaigning without campaigning.
"If she had no thought about running for president, I think she would be doing many of the same things she is doing now," said Donald Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chairman who's close to the Clintons. "But what she's doing is clearly not hurting her chances if she runs."
In addition to a flurry of speeches, Clinton has launched campaigns to boost early childhood education, increase opportunities for women and girls and protect wild elephants from poaching through the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Foundation, the nonprofit group established by her husband but recently renamed to represent the couple and their daughter.
And she's campaigned for successful Democratic candidates – such as the newly sworn-in New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and longtime friend Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia governor's race – building up a reservoir of good will in the party.
Though Clinton's schedule isn't public and many of her events are closed, some groups have publicized her appearances to sell tickets or garner publicity.
She signed on with the Harry Walker Agency, reportedly earning $200,000 per speech, mostly in front of business-friendly groups such as trade associations or lobbying organizations. She's delivered unpaid speeches on issues at universities, a women's institute, the nation's oldest black women's sorority and an organization that helps people with HIV and AIDS.
"Even after a long decade of war and financial crisis, America is still the indispensable nation," she told a crowd at Colgate University in October.
Despite the diversity of her topics, some liberal groups are calling on Clinton – as well as other potential Democratic candidates – to speak about other issues.
Adam Green, a co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said his members were anxious to hear where Clinton stands on the issue of the day, economic populism, including expanding Social Security benefits and standing up to Wall Street, saying that many of her positions are "frozen in time, in the years 2007-2008."
MoveOn.org, a liberal advocacy group, launched a petition last year that urges Clinton to "publicly endorse" the deal by the United States and five other world powers that calls for Iran to limit its nuclear program in exchange for lighter economic sanctions.
"There's very much a focus on policies and not personalities," said Ilya Sheyman, the executive director of MoveOn.org's political action committee.
Kathy Sullivan, a Democratic activist who was a Clinton co-chair in New Hampshire in 2008, dismisses any pressure that Clinton faces from the groups. "There's always a segment that is never satisfied with the favorite candidate, always looking for something else," she said.

The beginning of September signals our official kick off to All.The.Fall.Things. Think cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes plus the most stunning autumn weddings we can get our hands on. We scoured the Internet for the best of the best fall affairs and Kendall and Tyler's big day perfectly fit the bill. They tied the knot at Clark Gardens in Texas with beautiful nods to the season all throughout the day. Birds of a Feather planned and styled, Charla Storey photographed, and it's all waiting for here.
This is a gorgeous, secret garden fall wedding. The tones are deep and complementary to the season while keeping your favorite garden colors, and the venue. This venue has not had an event on this part of the property, so it was refreshing to use an area that fit the aesthetic desired. Live acoustic music and dinner al fresco made for a gorgeous fall Texas evening for Kendall and Tyler.

BANNER ELK, N.C. - Backed by a career-high 23 points and 18 rebounds from sophomore David McNair, and a clutch late three pointer by freshman Andrew Guerrero, the Pfeiffer men's basketball team (4-10, 1-4 CC) won a dramatic 106-99 overtime game at Lees-McRae (6-8, 1-3) on Saturday evening. Freshman Mike Smith scored 28 points and has led Pfeiffer in scoring in each of the team's 14 games this season. Sophomore AJ Clark scored 24 points and added seven rebounds. Center Silvere Aluko had nine points, nine rebounds and five blocked shots and Guerrero had 15 points off the bench.
The biggest shot of the game came from Guerrero. With Pfeiffer trailing 81-78 after a pair of made free throws by the Bobcats, Pfeiffer Head Coach Jeremy Currier called a timeout with 21 seconds remaining. The Bobcats played good defense on the ensuing possession but Guerrero caught the ball on the right wing and hit a step back three with five seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. Guerrero scored eight points in the final 1:29 of the second half, almost single-handedly erasing a five point deficit.
McNair scored on Pfeiffer's first overtime possession and the Falcons never trailed the rest of the way. McNair went 7-for-7 from the free throw line in the game and had eight points in overtime. In fact, the trio of McNair, Clark and Smith scored 23 of the team's 25 points in the extra period, going 5-of-7 from the field and 13-of-15 from the free throw line.
AJ Clark hit 14-of-15 from the free throw line on the night and played 44 out of 45 minutes, while Smith added five steals.
The Falcons, who didn't trail until the 2:19 mark of the first half, started the game on an 8-0 run. Smith's basket in the paint with 11:42 to play gave Pfeiffer their largest lead of the game at 19-7. Lees-McRae would respond with a 16-4 run that cut the lead to 23-21. The Falcons answered with a 7-0 run of their own, culminating with a three point play from Mark Goods. The Bobcats would eventually gain the upper hand and go into the break with a slight 36-34 advantage.
Following halftime, Pfeiffer shot 21-for-38 (55.3 percent) in the second half and overtime. Guerrero erupted with 13 of his 15 points in the second half and overtime period, going 5-of-7 from the field and hitting three shots from behind the arc. Pfeiffer's only lead of the second half came after a Smith three pointer gave the Falcons a 56-55 advantage with 10:50 to play. Lees-McRae put together a 13-2 run to grab a 68-58 lead with 6:18 to go. The Falcons refused to give up and cut the deficit to 72-71 with 3:23 remaining. The Bobcats twice had a five point lead in the final 1:36, but couldn't hang on, setting the stage for Guerrero's heroics.
Pfeiffer led the majority of the overtime period with the game being tied one time, at 83 apiece. The lead ballooned to as much as nine as the Falcons hit 88 percent from the charity stripe to earn the win.
"Our guys played great tonight," said Currier. "We earned a hard fought road win against a talented Lees-McRae team. David McNair was phenomenal and Silvere Aluko made winning plays on defense. Our co-captain AJ Clark was tremendous from the free throw line but we don't get to overtime without Andrew Guerrero. I am incredibly proud of our players' perseverance and commitment to improving each day."
The 106 points scored tonight was a season-high for the team. The previous high was 96 points against Barber Scotia on Dec. 10.
Pfeiffer owned a 52-40 advantage on the glass and pulled down 18 offensive rebounds, their most since Nov. 30. The 33 made free throws and 41 attempts were also season highs.
Lees-McRae was led by 18 points and 12 rebounds from Jacquise Moore. The Bobcats had six players score in double figures and shot 46.1 percent from the field. They struggled from the free throw line however, going 20-for-34 (58.8 percent).
Pfeiffer returns to action on Wednesday evening when they host North Greenville at 7:30 p.m.

Disfigurement after Throat Cancer Surgery
Can you help me cope with the disfigurement I have and feel after surgery for throat cancer? I know I should be grateful to have made it this far, but I am having a hard time thinking of myself looking like this and I am afraid of how my husband feels looking at me.
Tracy Lautenbach MSW, LCSW, Oncology Social Worker at Penn Medicine, responds:
Needing help coping with the changes that have occurred since your surgery and treatments is understandable. Do think about joining a Head and Neck Cancer Support Group so that you can gain the support from others who have "walked in your shoes". Also, there are some very supportive organizations out there that can put you in touch with others who can help you with these feelings. Support for People with Head and Neck Cancer, The Oral Cancer Foundation, The Head and Neck Cancer Alliance to name a few. Talking out your feelings with a counselor can also be very helpful.

They're deeper, tougher and more experienced than last year. Booth, Kassian, Bitz, Pahlsson and Reinprecht should help no?They have made changes, but from my point fo view they have not addressed the weaknesses.
They've definetely been coasting for a while ... winning anyhow.

Matt Cloughterty and Brian Cohen combined to pitch six innings of two-run baseball to grab Rockland High a season-opening 4-3 win over Pembroke.
PEMBROKE – The Rockland High baseball team relied on two pitchers with no varsity experience and a grizzled veteran to eke out a 4-3 win over Pembroke on Tuesday at Mattakeesett Field.
Juniors Matt Cloughtery (three innings, two runs) and southpaw Brian Cohen (win, three innings, no runs, five strikeouts, one walk, one hit) held the Titans (0-1) to two runs in six innings before handing the ball to senior Matt Nicholson, who pitched his way in and out of a jam for the save.
"Coming in both those kids, Clougherty and Cohen, had no varsity pitching experience," said Rockland coach Nick Liquori. "Bang-up job by Cohen, very efficient and throwing strikes. That's all I ask from these guys is to throw strikes and let us make plays."
Things did get interesting in the seventh inning.
The Bulldogs (1-0) added an insurance run to take a 4-2 lead heading into the bottom of the seventh after Tyler Murphy scored on a Jon Turner double-play groundout.
Nicholson came on for the save but hit Cam Deegan with a pitch and walked Owen McGrath to start the inning. A Connor Pijanowski sacrifice bunt moved the runners into scoring position, setting up an RBI infield single by Billy Watts to cut the deficit to 4-3, but Nicholson struck out the final two batters swinging.
On the other side, Drew CaraDonna (two earned runs, six hits, seven strikeouts, one walk) deserved a better result in a complete-game effort.
The Titans' defense struggled, committing six errors, including two on routine plays to start the game that led to runs scored by Rockland's Andrew Frazer and Turner.
"I've told these guys from the start of tryouts that if our walks plus errors are around five, we're going to always be in the ballgame," said Pembroke coach Bob Flynn.
"Today it was six (errors) plus one (walk) at seven. We were in it, but as we move forward – our goal is to make the tournament – that number has to get to three."
After spotting the Bulldogs (1-0) a two-run lead in the top of the first, the Titans got both runs back on an RBI sacrifice fly by Kevin Jones and a CaraDonna double that reached the leftfield fence.
Cloughtery was able to respond and make a game-altering play when he picked a Pembroke runner off second base with the bases loaded and two outs to shut the door on the Titans' rally.
"Now you look at it and it's huge," said Liquori of the pickoff. "It's funny how a play like that in the second inning or first inning, whatever it might have been, comes back and ends up being the big play of the game."
In the third inning, the Bulldogs reverted to small ball to take a 3-2 lead.
Nicholson (3-for-4, double) scored from third on a double steal as Andy Reardon took second.
Pembroke tried to get something going in the second inning, but Rockland second baseman Mike Leavitt ended that hope with a tag-him-out, throw-him-out double play.
The Bulldogs will rely on their seniors if they are to return to the tournament after a one-year hiatus.
"I don't have the (Sean) Roches or the (John) Mulreadys," said Liquori. "I'm going to lean on Nicholson, JT (Jon Turner) and Andy Reardon for some senior leadership and to make plays out in the field."

Note - If you're thinking about getting help, check out our New York Traffic Lawyer page.
Update (4/22/2009): A lot of people come to this post on a search for 1110a or something related to that. Section 1110(a) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law in NY says:
Every person shall obey the instructions of any official traffic-control device applicable to him placed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, unless otherwise directed by a traffic or police officer, subject to the exceptions granted the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle in this title.
As of 4/22/09, it's 2 points in NY, and the max fine (including surcharge) is $235. It counts for 2 points in NJ, and may count for points in some other states.
Update (6/23/2007): We have seen an 1110(a) show up on a NJ driving record and it counted for two points. We now think that the best NY 2-point deal for a NJ driver and a NY ticket is V&T Law §1175 - obstructing an intersection. We have seen such a violation on NJ records and there were no points.
We get a lot of cases with speeding or other traffic tickets involving out-of-state drivers. A big concern is how the result here will affect their license in their home state.
This can be confusing, and there is no solid source of info for the various questions that come up. We're doing a research project now to get firmer answers, but I thought I'd mention some initial things.
We get most of our out-of-state clients from New Jersey and Massachusetts, and also from Quebec and Ontario, as well as other US states.
Interstate handling of traffic convictions is covered by "compacts". For a discussion of the compacts, see this link from the AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators).
New York participates in both the Drivers License Compact (DLC) and the NonResident Violator Compact (NRVC). New Jersey also participates in both. Massachusetts does not participate in the DLC. New York also has direct reciprocity with Ontario and Quebec, but not with any US states.
Under the DLC, NY is supposed to report traffic convictions to the DLC, and member states are notified of their drivers' convictions. Since Massachusetts is not a member of the DLC, it would seem that moving violations in New York will not affect a Massachusetts license - this is our initial conclusion but we're still looking into it.
Massachusetts is a member of the NRVC. That seems to be about suspending your home state license if you fail to comply with the process in the state where you got a ticket (i.e. if you ignore the ticket or fail to pay the fine, etc.). But that doesn't sound like they get "surcharged". But their drivers manual claims they get notified by other states. And if you do get surcharged, your rates sky. You can lose 6 good driver credits and get whacked with 2 surcharge points. Total of 8 points, which raises your rates by about 50%. Ouch! And it's not clear what you would plead down to that would be safe. It looks like you can get surcharged even for non-moving violations.
New Jersey is a member of both compacts, and assigns 2 points for any out-of-state moving violation. This has its own problems. As a lawyer I usually try to negotiate a reduction for my clients. A common reduction might be from a 6-point speed (21-30 mph over the limit) to an "1110(a)" - "failure to obey a traffic control device", which is 2 points. But if NJ assigns 2 points for all out-of-state moving violations, then I should never take the 1110a because I'm not getting anything for my client. I should push for a non-moving violation or else try the case.
Except, it's not clear if 1110a would be recognized as a moving violation under NJ Law. Another, better provision might be 375(3), which is failure to dim headlamps (not lowering your highbeams when facing oncoming traffic). There does not seem to be a provision of NJ law that assigns points to anything like this. It's a 2-point violation in NY, but maybe NJ would not assign points for it. We're researching that as well.
Ontario, by the way, does have a specific provision for failure to dim headlights. Curiously, they do not seem to assign points for speeding 1-15 kph over the limit (approximately 1-10 mph over the limit). So maybe it's better to plead down to low speed ticket (3 points in NY) than the headlights or 1110(a). Except that Ontario doesn't seem to have a close fit to 1110a either.
We're working on getting these answers, and will post a further update when we get there, and we'll probably add a page on our main traffic ticket site too.
Coincidentally, I don't think New York assigns any points for traffic convictions in other states. I've seen 100+ NY driving records and never seen an out-of-state conviction listed. I haven't even seen Ontario or Quebec convictions, and I think those are supposed to affect your license.
Another question that would need to be answered is whether an insurance company in State X can raise your rates for a traffic ticket in another state. I don't think NY Law would allow that, but maybe other states would allow it.

Hemophilia refers to a group of bleeding disorders in which blooding takes a long time.
Some types of disorder include:
- Hemophilia A
- Hemophilia B
- Von Willebrand disease
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
When you bleed, the body sends out a special protein to help the blood clot. There is a higher risk of bleeding when one or more of these clotting factors are missing.
Hemophilia is caused by a lack of clotting factor VIII or IX in the blood. In most cases, hemophilia is passed down through families (inherited). Most of the time, it is passed to male children.
The main symptom of hemophilia is bleeding. Mild cases may not be detected until until later in life, after excessive bleeding following surgery or an injury.
In the worst cases, bleeding occurs for no reason. Internal bleeding may occur anywhere and bleeding into joints is common.
Signs and tests
Most often, hemophilia is diagnosed after a person has an abnormal bleeding episode Tests can also be done to detect the problem when other family members have the condition.
The most common treatment is to replace the missing clotting factor in the blood through a vein (intravenous infusions).
You will need extra care during surgery if you have a bleeding disorder. Therefore, it is important to get a diagnosis. It will also help you to warn family members who might be affected.
Support Groups
Joining a
Expectations (prognosis)
Many people with hemophilia are able to do most normal activities. However, some people have major bleeding events, The most common of these is bleeding into the spaces around the joints.
A small number of people with hemophilia may die from severe bleeding.

Nordic Ski Training Log: A weekly workout log preparing for the Mammoth Biathlon - Week 5
After a few weeks floundering around on my skate skis, I finally got up the nerve to attend one of the skate skiing clinics at Tamarack Lodge.
Having figured out the basics, I entered into the "improve your skate" clinic with Alana Levin, the very professional who has been providing our weekly workout routine preparing for the biathlon. And I didn't even plan it!
As a professional in the field of recreation myself, I have immense appreciation for high quality instruction in anything, really, but especially mountain sport techniques. As a mountain guide, I have seen so many people on my own mountaineering and climbing courses skyrocket in their abilities when I manage to key in to what works for them and communicate my thoughts clearly.
These moments are what I live for as a mountain guide—when I see it all click for my client. Alana did exactly that for me.
The first sign of an excellent instructor is when they can demonstrate perfect technique, and then turn around and demonstrate exactly what you are doing, showing you clearly why it just doesn't work as well, and why it's less efficient.
Doing something perfectly wrong is often harder for a skilled athlete than doing it perfectly right—this ability to demonstrate wrong techniques is what distinguishes professionals from talented athletes—and the visual aid it gives us is priceless.
Alana clued us in to what each and every one of us was doing, gave us drills to improve it, and followed each of us closely while we tried diligently to do exactly as she said. For one gentleman, the drill didn't do what she had hoped—so she gave him another drill that focused on another aspect of his skiing, digging through her immense toolkit of drills to perfectly tailor his workout to his needs.
All the while, we skied around the beautiful trails of Tamarack Lodge—between Twin Lakes, and up little hills through dense forest. The whole package was just perfect.
Considering what many of us pay per month for a gym membership, versus the cost of a season pass to Tamarack and the price of the quality instruction I received in just one two-hour clinic, I just can't imagine spending my time on a treadmill.
Specific weight training and yoga and aerobic classes are a major perk to gyms, but if you've been getting your cardio inside, try cross-country skiing just once. If the motion is challenging at first, this is normal. Perhaps frustrating. But the beautiful scenery and fresh air makes it all well worth the effort.
Conditions report
Not much out of the ordinary this week. As always, soft, new snow poses a challenge for skating, but once groomed and given a bit of time, the track will set up nicely. Tamarack continues to do the best it can with whatever weather it is given, and is always well worth the price of admission. Other local options continue to run a bit thin for skating, but Rock Creek Lodge did manage to get out to groom Wednesday morning after the storm. Fingers crossed for healthy dusting this coming week!
Biathlon in the news!
The Biathlon World Championships were held this week in Rupholding, Germany. American Susan Dunklee placed fifth in the women's 15k Biathlon—making the United States' best ever finish in the women's biathlon!
Words of wisdom from Olympic Biathlete Glenn Jobe: the winners are the athletes who can ski the fastest and shoot the most accurately.
"Sounds simple, yes?" asks Levin, U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association Nordic Coach. "Let's get dialed in your last two weeks of training for the 2012 Mammoth Biathlon."
Here are her recommended workouts of the week:
Beginner skier workout
Long ski: Easy ski for just over one hour. Plan your last long ski workout by Wednesday (8-10 days before the race).
Intervals: Try the "Fartlek." This is a casual interval drill. Just pick a landmark or a short hill ahead of you and go hard until you reach the landmark. Repeat at the next landmark, or just when you feel ready.
Technique: Put on your good ski technique and focus on it while skiing for 45 minutes.
Target practice: The better you are at hitting your target, the less you have to ski during the race!
Experienced skier workout
Long ski: Schedule your last long ski for 10 days before race day. Ski at an easy level for about 10-15k, or just over an hour. Add 6x15 second speeds (during the easy ski) with 2 minutes of recovery.
Intervals: Tempo workout. Warm up for 20 minutes, then ski for 10-20 minutes at race pace (roughly Level 3: "I can think clearly but I can't talk much"). Pick hilly terrain to practice transitioning from flats to uphills, over the hills and down again. Cool down for 20 minutes.
Intervals: Yes, intervals again! Be sure each interval workout is spaced 48 hours from the last one so you have time to recover. Warm up for 20 minutes, then, at Level 4 ("No talk, need to focus"), ski for 1 minute, 5-10 times, with 1-2 minute recovery ski in between. Cool down for 20 minutes. Use flat terrain for this interval workout.
Target practice: Miss fewer targets, ski less penalty loops!
