WASHINGTON, DC, November 17, 2008 (ENS) - The emissions of ozone-depleting substances should have "a negligible effect on ozone in all regions beyond 2070," as long as governments continue to comply with the Montreal Protocol, according to a new assessment of the global ozone layer led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA.
The report shows that the United States has cut the production of ozone-damaging substances by 98 percent since the late 1980s.
The assessment offers the first detailed look at the role of the United States in emitting and reducing the emissions of chemicals containing chlorine and bromine that deplete the ozone layer. These include chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, that were used as coolants in refrigerators and air conditioning systems before the damage they do to the ozone layer was discovered in the 1970s.
Emissions of ozone-depleting substances arise from their use not only as coolants, but also as fire-extinguishing chemicals, electronics cleaning agents, and in foam blowing and other applications.
The ozone layer, which surrounds the globe about nine to 28 miles above the surface, protects living things from the Sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, but springtime holes in the ozone layer over the South Pole and over the Arctic have appeared annually due to the release of these substances into the atmosphere.
"With the efforts of the U.S. and the over 190 nations in the Montreal Protocol, we have avoided a future world of higher ozone depletion and exposure of humans and other living things to unhealthy levels of ultraviolet radiation," said A.R. Ravishankara, NOAA atmospheric chemist and lead author on the new report.
The 1987 Montreal Protocol and its subsequent amendments established limits and eventual phase-outs for production and consumption of several ozone-depleting substances.
One in a series of reports coordinated by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, this ozone report was written by a team of 16 scientists from six different federal agencies. They developed information for and about the United States and drew material from two recent international scientific assessment reports to which the U.S. contributed, to distill a U.S.-specific perspective on this global issue.
The contributions of the United States to the emission of ozone-depleting substances to date have accounted for between 15 and 39 percent of the overall atmospheric abundance of ozone-depleting substances measured between 1994 and 2004, the report finds.
The United States has also contributed significantly to emission reductions of ozone-depleting substances, thereby helping efforts to achieve the expected recovery of the ozone layer and prevent large surface changes in ultra-violet radiation.
The U.S. percentage of the global total production has fallen to 10 percent in recent years.
As the report notes, without the Montreal Protocol, the levels of ozone-depleting substances in the "world we avoided" would likely have been 50 percent larger in 2010 than currently predicted.
Since the 1980s, global ozone sustained a depletion of about five percent in the midlatitudes of both the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere, where most of the Earth's population resides; it is now showing signs of turning the corner towards increasing ozone, the report states.
"The large seasonal depletions in the polar regions are likely to continue over the next decade but are expected to subside over the next few decades," the report predicts.
There is a relationship between ozone concentrations in the atmosphere at climate change. Ozone-depleting substances and many of the chemicals being used to replace them are potent greenhouse gases that influence the Earth's climate by trapping heat radiation that would otherwise escape to space.
Ozone is itself a greenhouse gas. The stratospheric ozone layer heats the stratosphere and, indirectly, the lower atmosphere so stratospheric ozone is a key component that affects climate. Depletion of the ozone layer has a cooling effect on climate, though large uncertainties exist regarding this effect, which is a combination of multiple contributing factors.

LAUREL, MS (WDAM) - Days after Katrina plowed through Mississippi, Governor Haley Barbour announced Jones County was the second hardest hit area in the state.
It's a statement Laurel Mayor Melvin Mack said he strongly agrees with. Mack said the reality of the category 3 hurricane is one his city will never forget.
"That was my first term as mayor and I had been in office 55 days. I never will forget it."
Hurricane Katrina came through Laurel packing winds at 120 miles per hour. The storm lasted for hours, but once it was over, Mayor Mack said the people were in awe at the devastation and in need of help.
"Everybody in the world wanted water and ice, and we didn't have any" said Mack.
Mack said the people of Laurel and Jones County came together and took care of their own.
"It was just amazing. It was just simply amazing, but we stuck together and we pulled through that. That was by far the worst natural disaster in the history of Mississippi or this nation. We fought through it and I think that we done [sic] an extremely good job."
Mayor Mack said the devastation came and went, but in the hearts of the people of Laurel and Jones County, Katrina will never be forgotten.

WILMINGTON, Mass. – Even though the Bruins' game in Philadelphia Wednesday night might mean more to David Krejci than many of the rest of his teammates who also suffered that historic defeat to the Flyers last spring, he knows he has to channel his energies when he hits the ice on Broad Street.
Until Marc Savard comes back, Krejci will continue to be Boston's No. 1 center. They need him to be the type of player he was during the season's first 11 games, when he used his guile and ice vision to be nearly a point-per-game performer and heat up wingers Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton to feverish levels.
If Krejci lets the Flyers, or the arena, get him too amped up, he won't be much help to the Bruins in their rematch of last year's Eastern Conference semifinal series, which ended with the Flyers becoming just the third team in NHL history to overcome a 3-0 series deficit.
"I don't want to do anything stupid that'll cost my team a penalty or a goal or anything," said Krejci, whose extra incentive could come from the Mike Richards hit that ended the Boston center's season with a dislocated wrist in Game 3 of that series. "The best thing to get back at them is to get the two points and go home. That's what I'm going to try to do and I don't think it's going to be a special game for me because I got hurt my last game of the year. But for my teammates too, they beat us four in a row so we all want our revenge, we all want to get back at them and hopefully we can get the two points tomorrow."
Since Krejci's return from the concussion he suffered Nov. 6 of this season, he has skated in four games (missing Boston's last outing with the flu) and posted just two assists (both in the same game) while Lucic and Horton have combined for one point (a Lucic assist). Instead of a top line, they've formed an invisible line.
Expectedly, the Bruins compiled just a 1-2-1 record in those contests and are 1-3-1 in their last five heading into Philly.
"It [hasn't been] the same, but there's ups and downs," said Krejci, who after missing a couple days with the flu has now practiced two days in a row. "And when you're up, you don't think that there can be anything bad. So one game back, it happens. And second and third, you know you realize that something's not right. … So we're going to get a chance tomorrow to play together again. We want to do better. So hopefully we'll do better and we'll help the team to get some goals."
Krejci posted 2-8-10 during those magical first 11 games of the regular season. Boston was 7-3-1 and seemed able to rely on nightly production from their top line despite the injury absence of Savard. Now it feels like they have to just tread water until Savard's upcoming return.
It doesn't have to be that way. The Lucic-Krejci-Horton could use the sight of the Flyers as motivation to reenact the celebrations of the season's first month. An injury absence can knock off the timing not just of a player, but his entire line – and Krejci in particular has looked out of sorts. However, he isn't shying away from the criticism of his recent play.
"I shouldn't make any excuses. Maybe the first two games, they weren't the games that I like to play. But something's happen when you don't play. It happens. I don't want to make any excuses, so now it's two weeks behind me, so nothing should stop me from doing my best."
Sometimes the line's center, especially someone with the talents and pedigree of Krejci, gets burdened with undo blame when a line isn't clicking. Horton continues to deal with an allergy to shooting and hasn't been much of a physical presence. Lucic knows he has to pull his weight more as well. The bulky left winger Boston counts on to provide punch with the body and the stick admitted today he has been a shadow of himself the last five games, and that means he's not working hard enough.
"It shouldn't be an excuse. It's been a heavy schedule this last month – a lot of games thrown at us. But I think as an athlete you've got to do whatever you can to get your rest, get your nutrition," he said. "And for myself, that's what I'm trying to right now – get myself that rest and get myself pumped up, jacked up to go into every game because when I do that that's when I'm at my best."
Krejci's return to health from both the concussion and the flu might give his line the opportunity to again forge some consistent chemistry against the Flyers and beyond. When the top line isn't making life difficult on the opponent's top defense pair, the rest of the lineup pays a price as well. Lucic believes he has the prescription for his line's ills.
"It's nice to have a practice with him today and get that feel back," said Lucic. "For us, looking back, the first 12 games there before he got hurt, a reason we were so successful was we were making good, strong plays and we were moving up the ice quick and we were able to get our feet going and attack with a lot of speed. So if we do that, we're going to be successful and that's what we're looking forward to getting back to."
Anything less than "good, strong plays" against the likes of the red-hot, hard-hitting Flyers will probably leave the Bruins looking like they've just been run over by a steamroller … or Mike Richards. The first line, top line, scoring line – whatever you want to call it – has to lead the way to keep the Bruins out of the path of that oncoming truck.


text: The best method I know of for purifying the IgG fraction (antibodies) is to precipitate it with polyethylene glycol. First centrifuge at 4C to remove clots and cold insoluble globulins then, to the supernatant, add 50% Polyethylene Glycol (MW 8000) , dropwise, while stirring, to a final conc. of 13%. Spin out the precipitate (the IgG fraction) discard the supernatant and dissolve the pellet to the original volume with PBS. Repeat the precipitation step. The resulting fraction is >95% pure with an almost quantitative yield and full activity. (Ammonium Sulfate, in my hands, gives a ~50% pure product with a loss of both protein and activity). Any residual PEG does not seem to have any effect on subsequent reactions. Note: The purified fraction, now devoid of the other protective proteins in serum (proteases, anti-trypsin, complement etc) should be stored cold, with .02% sodium azide as a preservative. This material can then be used for the affinity chromatography method you've been advised to use. The best book I ever seen on immunochemistry was called, simply "Antibodies : a laboratory manual /, edited by Ed Harlow, David Lane. Cold Spring Harbor, NY : Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 1988.". It is a cookbook-like methods manual along the same lines as Maniatis. Hope this helps, good luck.

George Gunter at Gunter's Garden and Nursery says the University of South Carolina Upstate has been fortunate to have some world-renowned speakers at its Arbor Day celebrations, and he says this year will be no exception.
George Gunter at Gunter's Garden and Nursery says the University of South Carolina Upstate has been fortunate to have some world-renowned speakers at its Arbor Day celebrations, and he says this year will be no exception. "I would say the programs it has put on over the years feature the royalty of the American gardening community, and the woman coming this year is the queen of flower gardening in this country," he says. "Tracy Disabato-Aust is perhaps the world's No. 1 author in the field of perennial flowers. Her book, 'The Well-Tended Perennial Garden,' has sold more than 180,000 copies. It is the No. 1 reference book for perennial gardening care and design. At 11 a.m. Dec. 7, she will speak at USC Upstate's Arbor Day celebration, followed by lunch and a question and answer session. You may never get the chance to see this flower genius again! Gunter's Gardens has tickets. Call 595-6900. Thanks to USC Upstate, Linda and Bill Cobb and Bea Smith for all the wonderful programs you have given our community."
'MUSIC TO MY EARS': Marty Dixon of Boiling Springs is singing the praises of Rogers Stereo. "I thank Brad at Rogers Stereo for fixing the radio in my car. It only took him five minutes," says Mr. Dixon, "He saved me from having to buy a new radio, and he didn't charge me. This was music to my ears, for sure."
HOLIDAY BERRIES: Stroller readers, from Columbus, N.C., to the Lowcountry in South Carolina, say they have discovered one of the Upstate's best-kept secrets, and all the chatter led The Stroller to Strawberry Hill U.S.A. recently to see it with our own eyes. It's a field of what the farm's owner, James Cooley, is calling his holiday berries. Through Christmas, these sweet strawberries will be available at the Strawberry Hill caf� across from the produce shed on Highway 11 just west of Chesnee and also at the Strawberry Hill U.S.A. store near the outlet shops on I-85 in Gaffney. And for John Albree of Columbus, there is only one way to eat these locally produced berries. Here's his recipe: "Place bucket of red, ripe Strawberry Hill strawberries in the refrigerator to cool. Any time after one hour, remove the bucket and place on the counter adjacent to the kitchen sink. Allow cool water to run slowly over the berries. With a paring knife, remove the green stem from each berry and place them in a bowl. It is permissible to occasionally place a berry in the mouth instead of the bowl. When the bowl is filled to desired amount, move to a comfortable chair, and with a small fruit fork, savor each and every berry at one sitting. Finally, use a napkin to wipe the red juices from around the mouth."
ODDS AND ENDS: The Toy Poker Run, which will benefit the Safe Homes-Rape Crisis Coalition, will take place Saturday, beginning with registration and breakfast at The Shop Clubhouse at 521 New Cut Road in Spartanburg. The first bike will head out at 11 a.m. New toys, games and cash donations will be the entry fee. The parade with Santa will begin at 3 p.m. at Southport on the Highway 295 bypass. The rain date is Dec. 8. All motorcycles and vehicles can participate.
Santa will visit with children Saturday, from 10 a.m. to noon, in Hatcher Garden, where the kids will be invited to decorate a Christmas cookie with the help of Santa's elves. A photographer will be on hand to make photos.

Radamel Falcao headed for Monaco?
Radamel Falcao is set to have a physical exam with Monaco on Monday before moving to the Ligue 1 club for 60 million euros ($77,460,000), according to reports in Spain.
The Colombia striker has long been linked with a move away from Atletico Madrid with Manchester United and Chelsea mooted as possible destinations.
However, it appears that Monaco have jumped to the head of the queue with the newly-promoted team having already recruited the likes of highly-rated Porto pair Joao Moutinho and James Rodriguez for a combined fee of around £60million ($91,026,000).
President Dmitry Rybolovlev is highly ambitious, evidenced by his capture of the Porto pair, former teammates of Falcao, who has scored 32 goals in 36 appearances this season.
Atletico manager Diego Simeone has already said he will not bear any grudge if the 27-year-old leaves, and Sunday night's Primera Division match against Real Mallorca at the Vicente Calderon is looking increasingly likely to be his last home game for the Rojiblancos.
Monaco assistant coach Jean Petit is reported to have told Radio RCN on Friday: "Yes, we are expecting Falcao and four or five other players of his quality.
"We have spoken and we continue to speak with Falcao and his representatives, negotiations are ongoing. We hope to seal a deal as soon as possible.
"Monaco need a player like Falcao because he can help us a lot and because he can attract other top players, and that's the best way of confirming out project is big and interesting," he said. "Signing Falcao is a big coup on sporting and media levels for French football."

Ordinarily, I don't play a lot of side-scrolling fighting games because I'm simply not very good at them. But every now and then I do enjoy a challenge, and Colosseum Heroes seemed different enough to be worth a look. I'm glad I checked it out, it's proven to be very fun. I think it's because, skill levels aside, some days we all love hitting monsters with an axe. It's a great way to unwind.
Colosseum Heroes stars a young, unnamed gladiator who is just fighting to stay alive in the arena. He has a grim look of determination on a boyishly young face, as he marches around the pit, fighting off the…orcs? Okay, so they decided not to go for historical accuracy with this one. The gladiator is fighting orcs and can win gold off of their corpses as he goes, and then use that gold to buy himself better weapons and armour. That's not exactly how I remember gladiatorial combat from my history lessons, but I've decided that I like it. Sometimes a little humorous anachronism goes very nicely with monster-axing.
The controls are interesting, but bear in mind that right now I don't really have much to compare it to: it is a side-scroller, and at the bottom left of the screen there are a pair of buttons for left and right, to be triggered by your thumb. At the far right are your weapons, to be triggered by the thumb of your other hand. Your little gladiator will march around as you direct him, but with only two buttons there is no option for jumping. The weapons you have are all always displayed in that field on the bottom right, and are used by tapping it in the menu. Some weapons have faster reload capability and you can button-mash them to your heart's content, but others have a reload time that is measured by the time it takes for the weapon's icon to reappear after triggering it. You use the gold won in battle to upgrade or purchase weapons to give you a greater chance of success in battle. You can also use your gold to buy HP potions, which is vital as you begin each new round with the HP level that you finished the last with. If you are unfortunate enough to die, then you have the option of relinquishing your hard-earned goal, or actually purchasing real credits (with real dollars) to revive without losing your gold. This means that there is a fair amount of strategy to choosing what to spend your gold on, to keep going in each level for as long as you can.
The game has a cool style going for it, but in my opinion even better than that is the alternate version that comes bundled with it – you can play as a vampire! Not as a vampire in the gladiator arena (that would be silly!), but it's truly a different game using the same design and engine. You still kill enemies for gold, but now you are fighting werewolves and instead of axes and javelins you can now purchase crossbows and magic bats to attack enemies for you. I quickly realized that I actually prefer the vampire version a bit, and feel like this is so much more than a bonus level that I can't believe that I didn't have to unlock it to play. I love the thought behind it and this alone raises the game up even more in my estimation.
It's just very unfortunate that the movement for the character is actually incredibly difficult to control. Given that your thumbs have to remain on screen at all times, it can obscure the game field quite a bit. As well they don't always seem to react as fast as they should, and so instead of turning back to meet a foe you'll simply stand there and get an axe in the back. As well, all of your weapons being on screen at the same time means that in the heat of battle it's very easy to suddenly realize that you've switched to the dagger instead of the battle axe, and then you'll get stabbed by an orc before you can switch back and put up a fight.

The parents of the 6-year-old victim of last week's shark attack on Ocracoke Island are telling their story, starting on NBC's TODAY Show.
Ann Curry interviewed Craig and Jordan Mangum of Durham and their daughter Lucy. Lucy didn't have much to say, appearing shy for the cameras, but her parents gave a riveting account of the shark attack and a positive outlook for her recovery.
Jordan Mangum says she first heard Lucy screaming in the water off Ocracoke Island last Tuesday and ran to her. "I saw the shark," she said. "I immediately discovered her leg had been bitten."
The report revealed how serious Lucy's injuries were: a 90 percent muscle tear along with a severed artery.
Jordan Mangum says she started putting pressure on the shark bite with her hand and yelled for her husband Craig, who happens to be an emergency room doctor at WakeMed in Raleigh.
"I knew right away it was a very significant injury," said Dr. Mangum.
Lucy has been at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville since the shark attack. She was airlifted there from the coast.
Dr. Richard Zeri, a Greenville plastic surgeon, said Lucy could have lost her leg. She still has a way to go in terms of recovery and will require physical therapy. Doctors expect her to be able to walk and run again in six to eight weeks. Dr. Mangum says, "Her prognosis is great."
Lucy's mom revealed that Lucy has forgiven the shark for attacking her. "I don't care that the shark bit me," Jordan recounted her daughter saying. "I forgive him." Dr. Mangum joked that the shark would send a letter of apology as soon as he can get to a mailbox.
At a subsequent news conference, Lucy told reporters "I tried to swim away." Asked what the shark thought she was, the six year old responded, "a fish."
Lucy was discharged from PCMH this morning.
Previous Story:
The parents of the 6-year-old victim of last week's shark attack on Ocracoke Island are telling their story, starting on NBC's TODAY Show.
In a press release, Lucy Mangum's parents say they will address the news media Tuesday morning at a press conference at the East Carolina Heart Institute at Pitt County Memorial Hospital, and NBC confirms the family will make an appearance on TODAY.
Lucy will make a brief appearance with her parents during the press conference. Her parents said she was in good condition last week after a shark bit her foot and leg while she played in just a foot and a half of water on Ocracoke Island.
The Mangum family resides in the Triangle.
Previous Story:
University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina released this statement on behalf of the shark-attack victim's family:
"Our daughter is in good condition after receiving a shark bite to the right leg. The shark attack occurred in two feet of water on Ocracoke Island. Mom was ten feet away and witnessed the event. Paramedics arrived promptly and she received excellent medical attention from EMS personnel, life-flight crew, and Pitt County Memorial Hospital medical staff in Greenville. She is in good spirits, declaring this morning that, 'I hate sharks. I like dolphins way better.'
From this point forward, we will not be releasing any additional information about her condition. Also, we will not be granting any media interviews. Thank you for respecting our privacy."
Previous Story:
A six-year-old girl is in critical condition after authorities say she was bitten by a shark.
The National Park Service says it happened around 5:30 p.m. on Ocracoke Island, just south of ramp 72. The child was bitten on her lower right leg and foot.
Authorities say she was swimming with boogie board in 18-inch water with her two parents. The girl was flown to Pitt County Memorial Hospital where the Park Service says she is in critical condition this morning.
Bystanders reported a black-finned shark attacking the girl.
A Hyde County spokeswoman says the girl and her parents were tourists on the island and not from the area. Earlier authorities had reported the girl was 5 years old.
The Park Service says the last shark bite on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore was off Avon in 2001 when a man died from his injuries.
"Late afternoon and early morning are the most common times of day to see these sharks so close to shore," said Park Ranger Kenny Ballance. He says the last shark attack on Ocracoke was more than 35 years ago.
Previous Story
Hyde County Officials say there was a shark attack near Ocracoke Island Tuesday.
Shortly after 5 pm, Hyde County EMS, National Park Service, and the Ocracoke Fire Department responded to a call at Ramp 72 on Ocracoke Island for a shark bite. Bystanders described what appeared to be a shark attacking a child in the South Point area, according to Hyde County Deputy Emergency Services Director Brian Carter.
Carter said the 5 year old female patient was flown via East Care to an area hospital and the patient's condition is unknown at this time.

The Antipoints system first of all says that I have 70% negative and 30% positive. Secondly the first three antipoints I have received have a date of 12-31-1969. Third of all I have a -27 for my score. This seems very wrong to me, does anybody know whats going on?

Purchasing Programs (AAA, Costco, BJ's, etc.)
billingsley Posts: 69I get whatever rebate is coming to me. I apply that rebate to the down payment, which is of course my choice. Of course, there may be manufacturer to dealer rebates which most of the public doesn't see. So, the dealer may be making money that way. But, that's not my business.
valley Posts: 12Agreed. Also beware if your program is an employee program - even an affiliate employee program. Chances are that IRS is after you. One guy was very excited about a $6,000 off MSRP on a GMC truck he bought. But the program actually entitles IRS to add that full $6,000 to his regular income and tax at the marginal rate with elevated income. If he was in 30% bracket, the $6,000 is now worth less than $4,000. Could he have negotiated more than $4,000 below MSRP?
In fact, when GM did that "everybody gets employee price" campaign, his employer issued a blunt memo saying that employees would be better off going on the street and take the dealer offer :P That company takes the position that an affiliate program should not be treated the same as employee program and has contested (publicly but unsuccessfully) IRS rules.0
We are just starting to investigate a replacement for the family minivan, the hope is as soon as my 2yo starts outgrowing our need to tote around the stroller all the time, we will have chosen a suitable replacement. One of the contenders is the Freestyle. Friends of ours have one and I was given a demo of it while visting them this past winter. It seems to have alot of what we are looking for, 3rd row seating (we have 3 kids), based off the Volvo (big pluses for the Mrs. there) and since its a Ford, it has the optional keypad entry. believe it or not, this little "feature" is a must of for my wife.
Enough of the background, now to the questions. I have Ford X-Plan pricing through work. I also am a member of Costco & BJ's. Assuming we are looking to purchase a Freestyle, which would give me the better price? I've looked at the Ford X-Plan prices and they seem to be just below invoice plus incentives. Haven't investigated the club benefits yet since we are not ready to buy yet.
Now, to add something else to the mix.
Over the weekend my wife got an offer from Ford to test drive the new Escape and get a $50 Target Card, as well as a coupon for $500 off the purchase. In lurking here for quite some time, and occasionally posting, I told her go down to the dealership midweek during the day and see if she can get someone to just sign the card as we are not really interested in the Escape anyway as it is too small for our needs. Also, while the other two will be in school, she'll have our little 2yo monster in tow so I don't want to wish him upon any salesman, just yet.
Since we are "interested" in the Freestyle, I told her to see if she can test drive that (assuming they won't just sign her card). Is that an option?
Since we are "interested" in the Freestyle, I told her to see if she can test drive that (assuming they won't just sign her card). Is that an option?
I don't see why it would be a problem. We do it all the time here. Have her test drive the van first then when she is done have her ask the Salesperson for a "favor" and ask him to get the other signed. Is the $500 just good on the Escape or any models? If you are not sure tell me the program # and your zip code and I will find out for you.
Also allot of times there are rebates for plan customers that regular retail don't get.0
thanks for the reply. I looked at the card, and it is actually the Edge, not the Escape (too many similar names). The Coupon says the $500 discount is for a 2007 Edge only.
Anyway, my Zip is 07869.
OK, for your Region there X-plan will probably work better because there is an additional $500 A/X/Z/D planners. Your incentive break down is as follows
$3000 Rebate
$500 Bonus cash
$500 X-plan Money
$500 Bonus Cash
$500 X-plan
0.00%-5.9% rate on 60 months depending on your credit. With a little bit better then average credit you can usually qualify for 0%. If you hav had Credit problems then up to 5.9% is still a great rate0
Thanks for the info. My wife went yesterday mid-day with our 2 yr old. The place was empty so I guess the salesman was looking for something to do.
She was upfront about why she was there, to get the coupon for the Edge signed, but, since we are interested the Freestyle, she wondered if they could test that instead. They drove the car and she seemed to feel it was an adequet replacement.
We still have to look at what else is out there, so I'll probably be posting those questions to the relevant threads.
Also, I now have to do the math to see if we can do this now or wait. If we wait, the X-Plan may *not* be an option as I don't know how long I plan to stay at this position. That is the reason for the original question as to if the Costco, et. al. plans are similar to the X-Plan
If we wait, the X-Plan may *not* be an option as I don't know how long I plan to stay at this position.
I am not sure about X plan but I know A/Z/D plans are good for the entire calender year. Meaning if you get it on Jan 1 you can use it up till Dec 31. I know I have had folks leave the plant and get a PIN # for a purchase before they leave and use it 6 months later. Something worth checking into. Call 1-800-348-7709 and ask, that is the A/X/Z/D plan HQ. If that don't work let me know and I will dig up a web address for you.0
Thanks for the info. I did read where you would need to provide "proof of employment" with a "recent" paystub, etc. I guess "recent" may be a subjective term. I did generate a PIN last night so I do have 12 months to use it.0
leeharvey418 Posts: 38I already know that unless a miracle occurs, this summer when I'm in the market for my next vehicle, no dealer for 200 miles is going to have one that is exactly what I want. Has anyone ever had any experience with ordering vehicles through one of these programs? Would I probably be able to get at least as good a deal by contacting a dealer's fleet manager directly?
On another note- my wife has access to a special buying program through her work. (corporateperks.com) Has anyone ever used this service?0
humblecoder Posts: 125A few years back I was in the market for a small car, and being eligible for the X-Plan I was considering a Ford Focus. It being the end of the model year at the time, Ford was offering a $2K or $3K (I can't remember which) incentive on top of the X Plan pricing, so I decided to pull the trigger on the Focus.
I went into the dealer expecting to just take the X Plan price without any serious negotiating. However, when I got there, the vehicle that I wanted wasn't there, so the salesperson tried to put me into a higher trim vehicle which had stuff that I really wasn't interested in.
Anyway, I, of course, asked him if he could "check around" to see if there was a dealer swap that he could do. He made a big show of pretending to call around to other dealers, but I am fairly certain that he was probably just talking to a dial tone. Anyway, this charade went on for awhile and he said that there was no cars available with the feature that I wanted.
At this point, I thanked him for his time and "effort" (it WAS an entertaining show on his part) and I was about to walk. At this point, he asked me to wait while he keeps looking. He leave for about 5 minutes and comes back with another person in tow.
This, of course, is the sales manager. The sales manager introduces himself and explains that it being the end of the model year, supplies are limited, so I pretty much have to take what's on the lot. I told him that what they have on the lot doesn't meet my needs, and I am just going to go elsewhere.
The SM replies that he has a car on the lot that has everything that I want. I reply that I told the salesman that it also has features that I am not interested in, and I really don't want to pay for these extras. So the SM replies with that famous question "So what can I do to get you into that car today?"
Like I said before I was pretty much done with this dealership, so I figured I'd throw out a ridiculous offer to see if they would bite. "Well, if you gave me that car for the same X-Plan price that I would have paid for a car that has only the features and I want AND you beat the interest rate that I am getting with my bank, then you have a deal."
Much to my surprise, the SM immediately agreed!
To make a long story short, I ended up with a deal that was better than X-Plan pricing, although that was never my intention. They did "get" me for VIN etching since it was pre-printed on the contract and I didn't notice it, so I suppose I didn't get the _best_ deal. Still it ended up being a good deal.
Anyway, my perspective now is that X Plan pricing is good (usually around invoice price minus rebates), but I think you can do better if you are smart (or in my case, lucky).
In retrospect, though, I kind of wish that I HAD walked since the salesman and the SM were your typical sleazy car salesman types. The fake phone calls to the other dealers really amused me, and the VIN etching was annoying (although it was my fault for not paying attention - I won't make that mistake again).
I did start to go to them for servicing since they gave me a bunch of coupons for free oil changes and tire rotations. However, the quality of their service department was lacking (a story for another day perhaps), so I have been going to another dealership where I have had a much better service experience. I am thinking that if I am in the market for another Ford, I might just go to them.
Two things to be aware of when it comes to X Plan pricing:
1. According to the terms of X Plan pricing, the dealer is not allowed to charge any sort of documentation fee.
2. The X Plan price includes the destination charge, so they shouldn't be adding that back in.0

moose888 Posts: 1Apparently AAA just recently revamped their Auto Buying service. Their site allowed me to do the research I needed to ID the car I wanted. The dealer I worked with was great, if you can believe it, there was no haggling at all and the discount pricing was great.0
rintintin1 Posts: 1You did not mention what type of vehicle you are looking for.
AAA did not find the best price and while AAA does not charge a fee the company that provides the service for them tacks 15% onto the cost of the vehicle. A bit misleading of AAA. Costco tries to give the best price but the dealers think the buyer will not check around and don't offer the best price. i checked Edmunds first had the paper in hand as well as contacting 3 dealers who had signed up with Costco there was as much as $1000 difference between them. In the end I went to the next city and purchased the same vehicle for $1000less, no hassles and lots of benefits, free oil change for a year, free car wash, free car rental.
Hope this helps.0
shauggy Posts: 4We haven't nailed down the deal yet (waiting for the car to come in, *should* be there tomorrow), but we went through Zag.com's service (through Bank of America's site) and we were quoted a price that was about $3,700 off invoice. We were looking at Corollas and originally wanted the base model in manual; since that car doesn't exist (Zag's system will still let you configure cars and tells you that they're available even when they aren't) the dealer offered to give us the same discount off of a manual Corolla S.
Maybe we just got lucky - maybe they are blowing out the 2010 Corollas, since we tried searching lots of other models on Zag.com (Jetta, Sentra, Altima, Civic, Elantra) and couldn't get the same discount - YMMV. Even searching in a different zip code (still the same region, just a different city) produced different results. Also as noted above Zag will let you configure cars that aren't available, and the dealer might tell you that they have it in stock (when they don't, or even if the car isn't available with certain options) just to get you to come in.0

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. A British man was staying late at a party. His girlfriend expected him at home, so he did the courteous thing - he called. The problem was what he said. He told his girlfriend he could not come home because he had been kidnapped. He apparently did not count in the fact that the girlfriend actually cared about him. She panicked. And she called police.

"Socks are Dobby's favorite, favorite clothes, sir!" he said, ripping off his odd ones and pulling on Uncle Vernon's. "I has seven now, sir... But sir..." he said, his eyes widening, having pulled both socks up to their highest extent, so that they reached to the bottom of his shorts, "they has made a mistake in the shop, Harry Potter, they is giving you two the same!"
"Ah, no, Harry, how come you didn't spot that?" said Ron, grinning over from his own bed, which was now strewn with wrapping paper. "Tell you what, Dobby - here you go - take these two, and you can mix them up properly. And here's your sweater."
He threw Dobby a pair of violet socks he had just unwrapped, and the hand-knitted sweater Mrs. Weasley had sent. Dobby looked quite overwhelmed.

Welcome to JD unkempt1. Sorry, I'm not an expert in this field. From what I know from looking on the Toysrgus Archive, all the Revenge poofs have the Nein Nunb offer. Revenge of the Jedi Proof Card ChecklistSame with the BOBA FETT PROTOTYPE PROOF CARDI have not been able to find one searching with an Admirall Ackbar offer, the 2:14 and 1:00 sounds to me like how would I say this an engineering/production/quality control sample. If you wish, you can send me a pic at the addy below & I can host it for you. email@example.com
Since the title of the film was changed to Return of the Jedi before any toys were actually released, no packaging with this logo was distributed to stores.
OK, here are the pic's. Yikes! I gotta lay off the beer, me thought you were talking about proof cards. Well that is sure a nice cardback, me thinks this may help you.Star Wars Card Back VariationsStar Wars Card Back Variations / ESB48BStar Wars Card Back Variations / ESB48CI'm taking a guess here but it looks like you have the ESB48C. I'm sure someone with more info can help you out more intime.
Back in the day (1990's) it seemed like every dealer thought they were sitting on a gold mine with these "Revenge" cardbacks.They tried to sell them as "rare" or "hard to find" items. Truth is they are quite common, and many carded collectors actually prefer the offerless cards to these.Andy

Byrdcliffe Linen Press Door Patterns
One of my favorite projects is the Byrdcliffe Linen Press that I built for the April 2006 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. It's one of the 14 project articles included in my new book "Classic Arts & Crafts Furniture: 14 Timeless Designs". When the original article was published, we posted full-size patterns for the sassafras leaves on the doors online.
We've upgraded the magazine website several times since then, and while the patterns are still available, the route to find them has more than a few twists and turns. Unfortunately when the book was being edited, an incorrect link was included.
If you are looking for the full-size patterns for the doors of the Byrdcliffe Linen Press:
If you print them out at full scale on legal size paper, you'll be one step closer to reproducing the doors.

Wil Brannock has been a long-time lowrider and Uce C.C. member, going on for more than a decade now. He started out with Uce back in Silverdale, Washington, where he was recruited by Steve Cates. He has stayed true to his car club and the lowriding game ever since and has never looked back. Wil later moved back to his home state of Florida, and with his move, he brought the Uce C.C. name to Central Florida. This 31-year-old forklift mechanic has a lot of interests, which include online lowrider forums and NASCAR, but none of those hobbies top his love for cruising in his Cutlass.
All of the hydraulic work on the '83 Olds was done by the owner himself. Wil dropped in three Red's pumps and three Italian dumps. He also installed in his own Rockford Fosgate and Pioneer stereo system. Wanting his Cutty to be ahead of the rest, Wil knew that chrome was the answer for his ride. Eddie over at Exotic Chrome in Kissimmee, Florida, handled all of the chrome dipping of the suspension and engine parts.
The next step was to get an eye-popping paint scheme laid out. Florida is known for its sunshine, so the best way to grab attention in the sun is to add lots and lots of flakes. That's exactly what Uce C.C.-Orlando chapter vice president Steve did, spraying Wil's vehicle all white with tan patterns and gold flakes. A more modern look was needed to spice up the ride so an '87 Euro clip was bolted on in place of the original 22-year-old front clip.
After the custom tan and white interior was put in by Watson's Upholstery right there in Sanford, Florida, it was time for Wil to take his new ride out on the streets. The time and money spent (more than $10,000 over three years) was nothing to a long-time rider like Wil. He knows that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be a lowrider and a member of a club like Uce, but the value of the pride that you get from doing it is priceless.
Uce Cutty
Owner: Wil Brannock
Vehicle: '83 Oldsmobile Cutlass
City/State: Sanford, Florida
Club: Uce C.C.-Orlando chapter
Engine: Stock 3.8-liter with painted and chromed-out parts. The underside of the hood was also shaved.Body/Paint: An '87 Euro clip was bolted on in place of the original 22-year-old nose to freshen things up. Uce C.C. Orlando chapter vice president Steve painted the Cutlass with custom white pearl and added plenty of gold flake to make it shine. Tan patterns were then placed down the sides as well as the hood and trunk.
Interior: New pillow seats were stitched up with tan and white vinyl by Watson's Upholstery in Sanford.
Sound System: Wil got down on his own stereo, adding a Rockford Fosgate amp to the Pioneer setup that makes the people on the road feel like a hurricane just broke land.
Setup: Keeping the work home-based again, Wil dropped in the three Red's Hydraulics pumps himself with three Italian dumps to control the flow and eight batteries to provide the "juice."
Tires: P155/80-R13
Wheels: 13×7 Dayton

Did you know that children in low-income neighborhoods don't have any books? The studies tell us the ratio of books to children is 1:300. That's one book for 300 kids.
In middle-income neighborhoods, it's 13:1. In other words, 13 books for one child.
This is unacceptable. If we are to improve reading skills for all children no matter their socio-economic situation, we must do better. We must get books into homes without books.
The Heart of America Foundation® and Capital One agree. They've invite you to donate a book with a simple click of your mouse.
Easy Action Steps:
1. Go to Capital One's Book by Book Facebook page.
2. LIKE the Investing for Good page until November 15.
3. Capital One will donate a book to children in need.
4. Spread the word to your friends.
* Extra fun: Vote for your favorite titles.
We can do something about the book gap (unlike others issues we can't always affect). One classroom teacher who participated in the 1,000 Books Project found that closing the book gap helped them academically as well as grew them into book lovers.

Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said Harkless has been cleared for full-contact drills with no restrictions, and Harkless today participated fully in a practice from start to finish.
"It feels great to be back," Harkless said. "I'm excited to get out there. It's a lot harder now actually getting on the court and doing it instead of watching it. I thought I had everything [down], but I made a lot of mistakes today. But it's easy to correct."
Jacque Vaughn said he would proceed cautiously with Harkless, a 19-year-old swingman who played one year of college ball at St. John's.
Vaughn wants Harkless to feel as comfortable as possible before he's thrown into game situations. The way Vaughn figures it, Harkless has an entire career ahead of himself, so why rush things?
"He's a part of us and hopefully a part of us for a long time," Vaughn said. "So it's my job as a coach to put him in a position to succeed, and I think that starts off a lot of times with your first interaction of basketball. So I want his first interaction to be a positive situation. I'm going to try and put that in front of him."
But make no mistake, Magic coaches love Harkless' potential
The Philadelphia 76ers selected Harkless with the 15th overall pick and eventually sent him to the Magic in the blockbuster deal that brought Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Magic officials think Harkless would've been a lottery pick if he had remained at St. John's for his sophomore year.
Vaughn's face lit up when he was asked to discuss Harkless' qualities to reporters Saturday.
These are the descriptions he used: "young," "athletic," "willing to learn" and "mobile."
"Should I keep going?" Vaughn said, smiling. "Do you see my excitement?"
Harkless could push Hedo Turkoglu for minutes as the season progresses.
"I think my biggest strength is my versatility," Harkless said. "I can do a lot of different things. Today, I got a lot of offensive rebounds. I can shoot. I can take it to the basket. I can rebound and defend. I bring a lot of different things to the table. I have a lot of upside."

Jodi Arias' attorney had her work cut out for her as she attempted to restore the credibility of the defense's expert witness.
Defense attorney Jennifer Willmott tried to undo any damage to the testimony of Psychologist Richard Samuels, who diagnosed Arias with post-traumatic stress disorder and amnesia, following a withering cross-examination by the prosecution which called into question his techniques and testing procedures.
The key witness Samuels testified for a fourth day Wednesday after telling jurors he diagnosed Arias with PTSD and dissociative amnesia, which explains why she can't remember much from the day she killed her lover. Samuels said he met with Arias a dozen times for more than 30 hours over three years while she was jailed.
Prosecutor Juan Martinez previously seized on multiple lies Arias told Samuels throughout the process of his evaluation, at one point getting the psychologist to acknowledge that he should have re-administered at least one test he used to come to his PTSD diagnosis. Martinez questioned how Samuels could have come to any definitive conclusion for a diagnosis based upon Arias' lies.
Samuels insisted his diagnosis was accurate.
"The process of forming a diagnosis is not a simple process," Samuels testified Wednesday. "The fact is that it's necessary to obtain information from as many different sources as you can."
Arias faces a possible death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of Travis Alexander in his suburban Phoenix home. Authorities say she planned the attack in a jealous rage. Arias initially told authorities she had nothing to do with it then blamed it on masked intruders. Two years after her arrest, she said it was self-defense.
Willmott spent much of Wednesday questioning Samuels about his testing procedures.
Going over each question and answer between the two, Willmott asked Samuels about his preliminary thoughts when he first began his evaluation of Arias.
"Did she think her life was in danger?" Willmott asked.
"Yes," Samuels replied.
"Did she feel helpless?" Willmott asked.
"Yes," Samuels said, explaining later that his diagnosis would have remained unchanged whether Arias was responding to the questions still telling her initial intruder story or claiming self-defense.
"If the answers remained yes before and yes after, would it have changed the score at all?" Willmott asked.
"No," Samuels said.
He said Arias also answered "no" to a question about whether she was having nightmares.
"This is a score where you could exaggerate if your intent was to skew the score in your favor," Samuels said.
He said the PTSD test was merely one tool used to come to his diagnosis.
"I based the information primarily on my interviews, the crime scene photographs and descriptions, interviews with family members, police reports, emails, text messages and the psychological tests," Samuels said.
Martinez had also questioned Samuels' credibility, accusing him of blurring the line between objective observer and therapist when he bought Arias a self-help book about building self-esteem.
Samuels denied the accusation.
"Is there ever blurring of the lines between evaluator and therapist?" Willmott asked Wednesday.
"There should not be," Samuels replied, explaining that sending Arias the book is not considered therapy.
Trial adjourned early on Wednesday after a woman in the gallery vomited.
Samuels was set to return to the witness stand Thursday to answer questions from jurors that will be read aloud by the judge. Arizona is one of a few states where jurors have the right to query witnesses. In most other states, it's up to the judge to determine whether to allow it.
Alexander suffered nearly 30 knife wounds, was shot in the head and had his throat slit before Arias dragged his body into his shower.
Arias spent 18 days on the witness stand during which she described an abusive childhood, cheating boyfriends, dead-end jobs, a shocking sexual relationship with Alexander, and her contention that he had grown physically abusive in the months leading to his death.
She said she recalls Alexander attacking her in a fury. Arias said she ran into his closet to retrieve a gun he kept on a shelf and fired in self-defense but has no memory of stabbing him.
She has acknowledged trying to clean the scene of the killing, dumping the gun in the desert and working on an alibi in an attempt to avoid suspicion. She said she was too scared and ashamed to tell the truth.
None of Arias' allegations of Alexander's violence, that he owned a gun and had sexual desires for boys, has been corroborated by witnesses or evidence. She has acknowledged lying repeatedly but insists she is telling the truth now.

NEW DELHI/MUMBAI, Nov 21 (Reuters) - India executed Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, the lone survivor of a militant squad that killed 166 people in a rampage through the financial capital Mumbai in 2008, hanging him on Wednesday just days before the fourth anniversary of the attack.
Kasab, a Pakistan national, was the enduring image of the bloody assault, which traumatised India and raised fears of copycat attacks on foreign cities. Pictures of the young gunman wearing a black T-shirt and toting an AK-47 rifle as he strode through Mumbai's train station were published around the world.
The hanging took place early on Wednesday amid great secrecy, underscoring the political sensitivity of the Nov. 26, 2008, massacre, which still casts a pall over relations between nuclear-armed rivals Pakistan and India.
He was buried inside the prison where he was hanged, officials said. India said it would hand over the body to Pakistan if a request was made.
"All the police officers and personnel who lost their life in the battle against the terrorists have today been served justice," Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said shortly after Kasab was hanged in a jail in Pune, southeast of Mumbai.
It was the first time a capital sentence had been carried out in India since 2004. There was relief on the streets of Mumbai as news of the execution swiftly spread.
"When I heard the news of Kasab's execution today, I remembered those horrifying moments of the attack. My eyes were filled with tears," said Vishnu Zende, who was working at Mumbai's train station on the day of the attack.
In August, India's Supreme Court upheld Kasab's 2010 death sentence over the attacks on a string of targets. Nearly 60 people were gunned down in the train station alone. President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his plea for clemency on Nov. 5, although this was not made public until Tuesday night.
Ten militants arrived on the Mumbai shoreline in a dinghy on Nov. 26, 2008, before splitting into four groups and embarking on a killing spree. They held off elite commandos for up to 60 hours in two luxury hotels and a Jewish centre in the city.
India accuses Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) of organising the attacks and says Islamabad is failing to act against those behind the raids. Pakistan denies involvement and says it is prosecuting seven suspected militants for their role.
"Kasab was a foot soldier, the generals are in Islamabad, in Pakistan, and full justice will be done when they are brought to justice," Gopalapuram Parthasarathy, a former ambassador to Pakistan, told Reuters.
India and Pakistan's relations have gradually improved since the attacks, with progress made on trade and economic ties.
Possibly because of the planned execution, India on Tuesday asked Pakistan to postpone a visit this week by its Interior Minister Rehman Malik, saying the dates were "not suitable for us". Malik was due to put the final seal on a deal to ease visa restriction for travellers.
Kasab's execution happened very quickly for India's usually glacial justice system. Three people convicted of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi are still on death row, 21 years after he was killed by a suicide bomb.
Islamabad was informed beforehand about Kasab's execution, said a Pakistani foreign ministry official who asked not to be identified.
"If all judicial procedures were followed then the decision is acceptable," the official said.
Raju Ramachandran, one of Kasab's lawyers, said Kasab was a worried man when he last met him before the death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court. He was scared that he would be hanged and asked the lawyer, "Can you please help me get out of jail?"

High speed chase ends with car out of gas on I-293By Bill Smith
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 10. 2013 11:06AM
MANCESTER - A 26-year-old Manchester man was arrested early this morning after allegedly leading police on a car chase at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour before his Honda Civic sputtered to a stop on I-293 in Manchester out of gas.
Joshua Blodgett, 26, was arrested and charged with aggravated drunken driving and other offenses after a chase that began in Windham. Police tried to pull the car over, but the driver sped away on Route 111 westbound. Londonderry police joined the chase as Blodgett headed toward Route 102, where Derry police cruisers also picked up the pursuit.
The car eluded police and ended up in a Route 102 driveway where it was located by State Police. The car took off again, headed up I-93 north, took the ramp to I-293 north and shortly thereafter ran out of fuel.
Police caught up with the car and arrested Blodgett and placed a female companion in protective custody.
In addition to the drunk driving, Blodgett has been charged with operating after suspension, disobeying a police officer, reckless conduct and resisting arrest.
Bail was set at $5,000 cash. Blodgett will face arraignment in Manchester District Court.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Despite bursts of dominance and strong performances from their top players, the Gauchos were unable to find victory against No. 23 Pepperdine on Wednesday night, falling by a score of 3-1 (25-23, 19-25, 27-25, 25-17).
With the defeat - their fifth in their last six matches - UCSB falls to 8-10 overall and 1-2 in the Big West.
"The girls played hard tonight," said Head Coach Kathy Gregory postgame. "We just didn't get production when we needed it."
In their last non-conference match of the regular season, UCSB's marquee players stood out. Junior outside hitter Leah Sully and junior opposite Katey Thompson co-led the match with 17 kills. Both players recorded double-doubles as well: Sully finishing with 13 digs and Thompson with 10.
Freshman libero Taylor Formico had yet another match to remember, picking up 28 digs to give her exactly 400 digs for the season. Formico is on the verge of overtaking the UCSB freshman dig record, currently held by Kelly Hennan, who recorded 413 digs as a freshman in 2010.
The match began with Pepperdine asserting their blocking prowess. With UCSB up 6-5, the Waves forced the Gauchos into five consecutive attacking errors. Pepperdine's Alyssa Mason played a part in three consecutive blocks that put her squad up 10-7 and snatched away any momentum from the Gauchos.
The Gauchos made it interesting at the end of the game by scoring five consecutive points before surrendering the set, and they carried that momentum into the next game despite falling behind in the match.
UCSB came out firing on all cylinders in the second - storming out to an 18-6 lead - mostly on the strength of an Ali Santi service run that saw the Gauchos claim nine straight points. Sully was the driving force in the game, picking up six kills. Junior middle blocker Jenna Wilson had five of her seven blocks in the first two games.
A tight third game featuring nine ties and five lead changes ended in heartbreak for the Gauchos. Going tit-for-tat all the way up to 25-25, Pepperdine was able to rally off a pair of back-to-back kills down the line.
Pepperdine claimed the fourth game easily to improve their record to 11-6 on the season.
The Waves were led by Jazmine Orozco and Kellie Woolever, who put up twin lines of 12 kills and 18 digs. Woolever, Pepperdine's setter, terrorized the Gauchos with the "dump" play all night, most notably by scoring the winning kill in the first game to halt a UCSB comeback. Santa Barbara native Taylor Racich contributed 11 kills and 14 digs.
UCSB's season long three-match homestand continues this weekend, when they play host to Cal State Northridge on Friday, Oct. 5, and Hawai'i on Saturday, Oct. 6. Both matches will commence at 7 p.m. Tickets for those matches - and all matches this season - can be purchased at the UCSB online ticket portal.

Fentimans Summer Drinks – Giveaway:
Today, for the first time in what seems like ages, we finally got some sunshine. I've been out in the garden tidying things up and stopped for a few minutes to indulge in my favourite Fentimans.
Rose lemonade is quite a unique drink – delicately flavoured with Rose Oil, it's something I like by itself but also quite enjoy with a dash of Vodka and a sprig of pineapple sage or rosemary. This particular glass was just the lemonade though – honest!
I've been sent a lovely hamper of summer drinks from Fentimans – and every day the sun shines I'm treating myself. Sadly, so far I've only got as far as the rose lemonade, but I have to admit I am a regular buyer of the Victorian Lemonade and the Wild English Elderflower, which tastes exactly as I imagine my own version would do if I was organised enough to make it at home!
I'm curious too about the Dandelion and Burdock. I first bought a bottle of an unspecified brand when I was about 8 years old and thought it was quite disgusting. But then, I also thought coffee was the work of the devil at the time, so I suspect my taste may have changed. It may just have been Fentimans – they've been making their drinks since 1905 – and even I am not THAT old!
Still made to traditional recipes, Fentimans are botanically brewed and natural – no nasty additives or colourings. So, they make the perfect summer indulgence for me, even though I'm trying my best to diet!
I know I'll like the traditional Ginger Beer – although I haven't tried the Fentimans version yet, it's a drink I love. And I suspect the colas will be excellent mixed with rum or just sipped on a hot afternoon.
Fentimans Mandarin & Seville Orange Jigger has the juice of eight mandarins and the zest of Seville orange in every bottle. The term "Jigger" is old English for "a good measure" and this drink also contains speedwell, juniper extract and fermented ginger botanicals – sounds delicious – I think I'll be trying mine topped up with prosecco or over ice on its own.
Luckily for London-Unattached readers, Fentimans have offered me a hamper to giveaway too. If you'd like the chance to win one for yourself, all you need to do is answer the question in the Rafflecopter by commenting below, then for extra chances, share and comment on social media as instructed by the Rafflecopter.
To answer the question, take a look at the Fentimans website, where you'll find more about all their fabulous soft drinks
