routestopped — The Shorewall file that governs what traffic flows through the firewall while it is in 'stopped' state.
This file is used to define the hosts that are accessible when the firewall is stopped or is being stopped. When shorewall-shell is being used, the file also determines those hosts that are accessible when the firewall is in the process of being [re]started.
The columns in the file are as follows.
Interface through which host(s) communicate with the firewall
Comma-separated list of IP/subnet addresses. If your kernel and iptables include iprange match support, IP address ranges are also allowed.
If left empty or supplied as "-", 0.0.0.0/0 is assumed.
A comma-separated list of options. The order of the options is not important but the list can contain no embedded whitespace. The currently-supported options are:
Set up a rule to ACCEPT traffic from these hosts back to themselves.
Allow traffic from these hosts to ANY destination. Without this option or the dest option, only traffic from this host to other listed hosts (and the firewall) is allowed. If source is specified then routeback is redundant.
Allow traffic to these hosts from ANY source. Without this option or the source option, only traffic from this host to other listed hosts (and the firewall) is allowed. If dest is specified then routeback is redundant.
Allow traffic between the firewall and these hosts throughout '[re]start', 'stop' and 'clear'. Specifying critical on one or more entries will cause your firewall to be "totally open" for a brief window during each of those operations. Examples of where you might want to use this are:
'Ping' nodes with heartbeat.
LDAP server(s) if you use LDAP Authentication
NFS Server if you have an NFS-mounted root filesystem.
The source and dest options work best when used in conjunction with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes in shorewall.conf(5).
#INTERFACE HOST(S) OPTIONS eth2 192.168.1.0/24 eth0 192.0.2.44 br0 - routeback eth3 - source

Just for the record: am 27, PhD, university professor.
Shame? Not at all!!! Proud to be "the twiteacher"!!!

Paula I wish I had you as a my professor! I'm 22 and I'm not ashamed to say I'm Twilight obsessed.ReplyDelete
I could have written this article describing myself, but I'm not in the closet. Everyone knows I'm a Rob fan and love Twilight series. PPL at my work are always bringing things up on screen and joking when I can't do anything(I am surgical nurse- can't break sterility) to stop them. I luv it cuz then I get a little fix- and they think there being funny.:)) I'm 38!! Thank god for the 23,24 year old in my life- they can relate to me. Hee heeReplyDelete

I too could've written the article myself! I'm a 31 year old mom of two girls and have been totally dazzled with Rob/Edward since the movie came out. I devoured all four books, and read them again recently. I just can't get enough! But, I'm also a closet Twilight fan to my friends and family. They know I enjoy it, but they don't know JUST how much I enjoy it!ReplyDelete

Ok, I am in my 50's and love the books and the movie; it is not Rob Pattison as much as just Edward's character... (but Rob Pattison does a good job) he is what every women/girl would want in a man, good looking, interesting, loving, and protective, and has morals...all of them... in one person, that is hard to find in men. So we all love the perfect man, no matter the age!ReplyDelete
totally relate, 26yrs old with a 2.5yr old son, work full time, rob is my guilty pleasure, along with reading this blog when my partner puts my son to bed!ReplyDelete
Hey this seems an anonymous-something gathering! I'm 28 and love (mainly)the books and the movies!ReplyDelete

I'm 42 and my sister( Who is 40) got me hooked on the Twilight books(which I read all 4 in 3 months!) and the movie! My girlfriend who is my age has also read them. I am a Professional working mom and my husband thinks I have regressed! My son's 7 & 9 love Twilight movie - even "the mushy stuff" . My 7 year old wants "Edward hair" style every day! This series has made my inner teenager come to life again too. I'm glad i'm not alone!ReplyDelete

I am 38, every day I go online and find out more about Twilight and Rob. I own the painted sneakers, got a Twimom license plate, and I am going to one of the Conventions. I could go on. I am definately more obsessed than my 13 year old daughter and it is extremely fun.ReplyDelete
You younger scalliwags can poopoo the 30 year old's, but where the ones with the credit cards and cars! HAHA, IM 31 AND I LOOOOOVE ROB PATTINSON!ReplyDelete
I just finished the Twilight movie while waiting for my kids to fall asleep and am now checking my favorite sites for my addiction. It's so bad my three year old knows every character but heart. Today he was pointing at Billy Burke in a magazine and said, "CHARLIE!" LOL!
Ah, this is from heat magazine! I read it and then my friend decided to make a joke about how I was like that. I rememeber sitting there, laughing along and thinking, "Darling, you don't even know the half of it..."ReplyDelete
Well, now I can shove this little blog post in my friends and families faces, screaming "HAHA! I'M NOT ALONE! SEE ALL THESE ADULTS?!" ...As you can tell, I get teased A LOOOOT for being 26 and completely smitten with Rob Pattinson, and head-over-heals inlove with the saga.ReplyDelete
Hi, my name is Ash, and I'm a Rob Addict (and Twilight Saga obsessed)!
Thank you for helping me realize I'm NOT alone =)

Oh my... Great to find this blog and post and find out, I'm not alone. Though the whole merchandise thing is a bit too much for me. (No Edward dolls here)ReplyDelete
But I LOVE the Twilight-saga!!! I'm 29, (happily) married, mother to a 6-year old and a carriere chick as well. How come I'm so fixated with Twilight, when I ought to read Tolstoj and Kafka? I don't know, but ever since I bought the Twilight-saga books, I can't settle with anything else!
So here it goes.... Hi my name is Caroline, and I'm an Twilight-addict :-)
- AnonymousJuly 5, 2009 at 7:06 PM
I'm in my 50's. I've read all the books (including Midnight Sun), I love the fan fiction, and I love the movie, flaws and all. Edward is a 108-yr-old, rich, talented, great-looking, principled man in a 17-yr-old body. What's not to like? I'm not the type to be obsessed with celebrities. So am I Robsessed? No. Do I get why so many are? Absolutely! That boy is sexy!ReplyDelete

sigh...twilight addict. 36. married. 3 kids. Just discovered the series two weeks ago. It took me two days to read the series. Run two businesses from home...my vampire fascination was doing fine, laying dormant since I was 17 UNTIL...ReplyDelete
wasnt too happy with the movie though. It left a lot to be desired.
Of course that will not stop me from parking my two cheeks at the theatre on the day of new moon's release, at the first showing. I will sit there gratefully. I would sit there gratefully for the entire day if it were just like the book.

Puppy love, Jesus, and gongs
In honor of Valentine's Day, World Vision's Jonathan Lo reflects on our mandate as Christians to love others the way God loves us.
* * *
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. —1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NIV)
Wait, what? But aren't I supposed to give to the poor? I thought that giving up more made me "more holy."
Let's get back to that in a minute…
Puppy love
Despite a farewell of consistent play-dates with my best friend, Alex, whose passion for Power Rangers rivaled my own, 1995 was a good year for me. I fell in love -- puppy love.
I'll never forget the girl who stole my heart. She was my first crush. Her name was Annie. She was the nicest, prettiest, and just down-right awesome girl I had ever met at that point. For a shy Chinese-American boy who spoke no English at home and whose self-confidence in the outside world was still developing, it was amazing that she took the effort to get to know me. She was great.
Looking back, I realize that my perception of love at age 7 was only a glimpse of what it is today. I've learned about this guy named Jesus whose love for broken, insecure people like me is extravagant. Fully knowing that we would either hate or deny him, Jesus (God) still sacrificially came into our world to fix us. Wow!
Apparently, God's love is greater than anything we could ever imagine ourselves.
And he calls us to that same kind of love.
Turns out, even giving to the poor is not beneficial to me if I don't have a foundation of love. Let's be clear, especially since I work on the fundraising side of an organization that does amazing work in developing communities: Scripture doesn't say that the poor don't benefit from my giving. But it does say that I don't gain from my giving. It doesn't make me "more holy."
Because God cares about me, he doesn't just want my "stuff" -- he wants what's best for me. He wants me to have his kind of love: the kind that is better than my feelings in first grade, or the pride I get from helping others. He desires a fully redeemed and relational love with me.
Only then do I gain anything worthwhile.
As we celebrate love this Valentine's Day, pray that God would continually transform your heart into one with His love.
Show love tangibly by sponsoring a child in need. The best way to change the lives of children is to change the world in which they live. And the best way to change their world is to foster self-sufficiency within their families and communities. This is what World Vision child sponsorship does.

Villa complete Bowery transfer
Aston Villa have completed the signing of Chesterfield striker Jordan Bowery for an undisclosed fee on a three-year contract.
Last Updated: 31/08/12 3:05pm
Bowery becomes the sixth new signing at Villa this summer following defenders Ron Vlaar, Joe Bennett and Matt Lowton, and midfield duo Brett Holman and Karim El Ahmadi.
His father Bert Bowery was also a striker who played for Nottingham Forest under Brian Clough before moving to the North American Soccer League in 1976.
Villa boss Paul Lambert said: "Jordan is a good player. The hunger will be there for him and he could surprise a few people.
"He's a good lad, he's strong and powerful. He's played over 100 games in the Football League and cup football, so he's battle-hardened.
"He's one for the future but if he steps up to the plate like I think he can then I would have no hesitation in throwing him in, none whatsoever."
Bowery played 40 games for Chesterfield in League One last season and also made eight appearances in Cups, scoring 12 goals in all competitions.
He said: "This is a Premier League club with so much history, a massive club, and I'm really excited.
"Paul Lambert talked about wanting to bring in young, raw, hungry talent, players who want to improve here and want to get to this level and stay at this level.
"I think that's what he's looked at in me."

way of comment the fact was made mani fest in secretary knox's letter that these republics had appealed to the united states to put an end to the zelaya regime the position of the president is most clearly set forth in his note to nicaragua as one of recognition of the revolutionists they too will be held responsible for the i punishment of zelaya and those implicated in the murder of the two american citi zens conferences at white house the breaking-off of diplomatic relations was based on information which the state department received between 4 and 5 o'clock this afternoon secretary knox ns called to the white house with his dispatches after his call and conference mr knox made two other visits to the president but it was officially stated that the call related to the president's message to congress subsequent events have shown that while that was literally true the pres ident and secretary of state were prepar ing the official note to the nicaraguan government the relations of the united states with nicaragua must now of necessity demand a fair share of the president's message he cannot declare war but congress can it is now apparent that the united states will not be

dec f\f 1 — following is the fall text of the note sent by secretary of state knox to felipe rodriguez charge d'affaires of ni caragua breaking off diplomatic relations between the united states and nicaragua department of state washing ton d c dec 1 sir — since the washington con ventions of 1907 it is notorious that president zelaya has almost continuously kept central america in tension or turmoil that he has repeatedly and flagrantly violated the provisions of the conventions and by a baleful influence upon honduras whose neutrality the were to assure has sought to discredit those sacred international obligations to the great detriment of costa rica el om-o^in a nd guatemala whose governments munnwhile appear to have been able patienu.v to strive for the loyal support of the en gagement so solemnly undertaken at washington under the auspices of the united states and mexico it is equally a matter of common knowledge that under the regime of president zelaya republican institutions have ceased in nicaragua to exist except in name that public opinion and the press have been throt tled and that prison has been the reward of any tendency to real pat riotism my consideration for you personally impels me to abstain from unnecessary discussion of the painful details of a regime which unfor tunately has been a blot upon the history of nicaragua and a discour agement to a group of republics whose aspirations need only the oppor tunity of free and honest government further delay by u s impossible . in view of the interests of the united states and of its relation to the washington conventions appeal against this situation has long since been made to this government by a majority of the central american republics there is now added the appeal through the revolution of a great body of the nicaraguan people two americans who this government is now convinced were offi ers connected v evolutionary f om . and therefore entitled to be dealt with according to the enlightened practice of civilized nations have been killed by direct order of president zelaya their execution is said to have been preceded by barbarous cruelties the consulate at managua is now officially reported to have been menaced there is thus a sinister culmination of an administration also char acterized by a cruelty to its own citizens which has until the recent out rage found vent in the case of this country in a succession of petty an noyances and indignities which many months ago made it impossible to ask an american minister longer to reside at managua from every point of view it has evidently become difficult for the united states further to delay more active response to the appeals so long made to its duty to its citizens to its dignity to central america and to'civiliza tion the government of the united states is convinced that the revolu tion represents the ideals and the will of a majority of the nicaraguan people more faithfully than does the government of president zelaya and that its peaceable control is well nigh as extensive as that hitherto so sternly attempted by the government at managua both sides will be held responsible there is now added the fact as officially reported from more than one quarter that there are already indications of a rising in the west ern provinces in favor of a presidential candidate intimately associated with the old regime in this it is easy to see new elements tending to ward a conditon of anarchy which leaves at a given time no definite responsible source to which the government of the united states could look for reparation for the killing of messrs cannon and groce or in deed for the protection which must be assured american citizens and american interests in nicaragua in these circumstances the president no longer feels for the govern ment of president zelaya that respect and confidence which would make it appropriate hereafter to maintain with it regular diplomatic rela tions implying the will and the ability to respect and assure what is due from one state to another the government of nicaragua which you have hitherto represent ed is hereby notified as will be also the leaders of the revolution that the government of the united states will hold strictly accountable for the protection of american life and property the factions de facto in con trol of the eastern and western portions of the republic of nicaragua will not be harsh in indemnity demand as for the reparation fund due after careful consideration for the killing of messrs groce and cannon the government of the united states wculd be loath to impose upon the innocent people of nicaragua a too heavy burden of expiating the acts of a regime forced upon them or to exact from a succeeding government if it have quite different pol cies the imposition of such a burden into the question of ultimate reparation there must entei the ques tion ol the existence at managua of a government capable of respond ing to demands there must enter also the question of how far it is possible to reach those actually responsible and those who perpetrated the tortures reported to have preceded the execution if these be verified and the question whether the government be one entirely dissociated from the present intolerable conditons and worthy to be trusted to make impossible a recurrence of such acts in which case the president as a friend of your country as he is also of the other republics of central america might be disposed to have indem nity confined to what was reasonably due the relatives of the deceased and punitive only in so far as the punishment might fall where really due in pursuance of this policy the government of the united states will temporarily withhold its demand for reparation in the meanwhile taking such steps as it deems wise and proper to irotect american in terests to insure the future protection of legitimate intei^ks in consideration of the interests of

The wallflowers of the libraries are those books that languish on the shelves unread and ignored. Well-reviewed, (or they wouldn't be in the library), they are not sought out by readers, but may be stumbled upon by happenstance, a possible delightful discovery for someone. What makes someone take a chance on an unknown mystery? Is it an attractive cover, intriguing jacket copy, or a rave review from a favorite mystery author? Do people stick to certain sub-genres, i.e. police procedurals, British cozies, dog mysteries? Or, do they read omnivorously, picking anything that appeals at that moment? What sort of reader are you? Do you read strictly off the best seller list, reserving all your choices in advance? Do you depend on serendipity, enjoying the thrill of finding a really great book all by yourself?
Below are some of these wallflower mystery authors, some suggested by members of the Investigating Mysteries book discussion group. Take one out and have yourself a good time.
Max Allan Collins is a prodigious writer by anyone's standards. He is the author of novels based on popular films and television shows. He has also written the well-regarded Quarry series featuring hit-man Jack Quarry. If you like your heroes hard-boiled, you'll like Quarry.
Walter Satterthwait writes not only historical mysteries (some based on actual people such as Lizzie Borden), but a contemporary P.I. series starring Santa Fe resident Joshua Croft. He is surely an under-appreciated author who deserves a wider audience.
Margaret Yorke no longer writes, but she has written numerous psychological thrillers which will appeal to Ruth Rendell fans. Her plots often involved innocent people who make a fateful wrong decision and end up ruining their lives.
Cara Black is certainly not an unknown author, but her Aimee Leduc series sits on the shelf more than it should. The Paris setting is irresistible and so is Amy.
Priscilla Royal's heroine Prioress Eleanor of Tyndal is a plucky nun solving crimes in medieval times. The prioress/sleuth investigates the plethora of deaths not caused by the diseases, food or sanitation of thirteen century England.
Carolyn Haines writes the Mississippi Delta series starring Southern belle/P.I. Sarah Booth Delaney and her sidekick, a ghost named Jitty. Even if you don't appreciate the paranormal element, the characters and setting are charming.

Nottingham Forest manager Alex McLeish has left the club after five weeks in charge citing differences with the owners over development strategy, the twice European champions said in a statement on Tuesday.
Former Scotland manager McLeish was appointed on Dec. 27 following the sacking of Sean O'Driscoll, a decision that angered fans given the English second-tier club were a point off the playoff places at the time.
"I'm bitterly disappointed – as is Alex – that it has not worked out as we had hoped when he became our manager and I would like to put on record my thanks for his services to the club and wish him every success in the future," Chairman Fawaz Al-Hasawi said on the club website.
McLeish was reported by British media to be unhappy the club had failed to complete a deal for Peterborough United's George Boyd in the January transfer window.
"Both parties entered into the relationship in good faith, however, there was a difference in the understanding of the development strategy of the football club and it was felt by both parties that we should part company," McLeish said.
Forest are 11th in the Championship, six points off the playoffs.

INTERPOL holds international workshop in Turkey against people smuggling
ISTANBUL, Turkey – INTERPOL has held an international operational workshop on irregular migration originating from East Africa, focusing on the strong need for co-ordination of intelligence, as well as capacity building strategies to improve existing investigative techniques.
The two-day International Workshop on People Smuggling from East Africa at the Police Education and Congress Centre (PEKOM), 30-31 March, was organized in co-operation with the Center for Terrorism and Transnational Crime (UTSAM) of The Turkish National Police, with the support of INTERPOL's National Central Bureau in Ankara.
Attended by 70 participants from 22 member countries and four international organizations, the workshop highlighted training and education as the key components to successfully deterring people smuggling, both at a law enforcement and community level by educating non-law enforcement actors.
Discussions also centered on people smuggling criminal syndicates becoming aligned with other forms of organized criminality such as drug trafficking as well as trafficking in human beings for commercial purposes, making the issue far more complex.
A strong emphasis amongst the attendees was placed on ensuring the dissemination of information using available INTERPOL tools and services via regional approaches against people smuggling.

Volvo XC60 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
Just trying to find out what others think of this quote:
2013 XC60 3.2 (base model) with AWD, climate package & roof rack/rails in flamenco red
$36,225 (TTL not included)
I'd love to add the premier pkg to this but just don't think I can get the payments where I want them to be.
Revised quote from another dealer - lowest quote I've gotten:
2013 XC60 3.2 (base model) plus AWD, climate package, roof rack - flemenco red with tan cloth interior:
$34895 (TTL not included)
Opinions? Anyone?
msockol Posts: 1Hi, folks....my Volvo S60 has 170K and still runs great...and it is time to transfer it over to my sons. I've been in the market for a couple of months, with an eye on an XC60. After visiting a number of dealers in New Jersey, I just put down a deposit on a 2012 XC60 Premier demo with AWD, Blis, and climate package (heated leather seats front and back and moon roof) for $32.7K. It only has 4500K miles and was driven by the office manager. Other demos that I saw in the area were more expensive, had less equipment, were loaners, or had more miles. I would have loved to have scored the full safety package, but the vehicle is wired for navigation if I want it...and I'll probably add the rear camera at a late time. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery?
fantom Posts: 211The peanut gallery says don't buy it
Sounds like you got a good deal on a demo car.
Be sure of the 'in service' date, as that will impact your warranty down the road . Also, be certain of the Safe&Secure coverage...could be worth a couple grand over time. Also, is this a T6 or 3.2 ? That will make a difference in equipment and value.
Hi All,
I received the following offer on a 2012 XC60 Demo model with 83 miles.
Platinum Package
Climate with child boosters
Selling $39,000
Sounds like a good deal. Would be interested in what others think?
Check the in-service date and try to figure out why it's still on the lot with such low mileage :confuse:
Be sure of the 'Safe and Secure' coverage as things have changed since the first of the year.
Sounds like a decent deal; but I'll bet there are folks who got that price last fall on a brand-spankin' new one. Doesn't diminish the value of your vehicle, just makes it a little less 'exciting'.
In service date is 11/30/12 and warranty is 3 years, 36k miles, which I was told is the new standard.
Not exactly...on a model year '12, the factory warranty is 4 yrs/50k miles.
The complimentary maintenance program is :
The maintenance program on model year 2012 vehicles, covers the first four services at no charge: 7,500, 15,000, 22,500, and 30,000 miles.*
*3 years or up to 36,000 miles. per the Volvo site on '12s delivered AFTER Jan 1st....BUT could possibly be different because the in-service date falls within the period that Volvo had enhanced the 'Safe and Secure' program. Just a thought(could be worth some bucks down the road ) You might need to go up the food chain above the dealer to get a straight answer on that one.
soonerbigdog Posts: 5I know this post is old, but here's some advice from an ex- Dealer. NEVER buy based on the amount of your monthly payment or how much "down Payment" the dealer is asking for. ALWAYS negotiate price of the vehicle without a trade-in and do research first so you'll know appx dealer invoice cost (Not the actual dealer cost, but a starting place, at least). You should be able to buy any new vehicle for no more than $1000 over invoice exclusive of any rebates or cash back and IN MOST CASES, you can do better than that.
Get the best price, then shop for the best finance rates at your bank, credit union, etc. IF the dealer can match that rate, let him finance, but NEVER buy any of the 'extras' offered by the dealer's finance dept. The only thing they offer that has any real value is an extended warranty and most people don't keep cars long enough to need it. If you decide you want it later, you can purchase this anytime before the original warranty expires.
If you have a trade-in, wait until you have that absolute 'best' purchase price to tell them. That way, you'll know exactly how much they are really giving for your trade. Failure to do this can result in confusing and misleading figures, and you may be better off selling the trade-in yourself.
And...Unless you're a very savvy car buyer- If the salesman pulls out a form with 4 squares on containing boxes for price, monthly payment, down payment and trade-in (or anything similar), walk away and find another dealer that will just talk price.
marsh0511 Posts: 5Volvo's running a deal for Costco members - $750 off 'employee pricing' until 7/31/13 (for 2013 models). Salesman at the dealer said this is $750 off invoice. Is this a good deal....and is it truly $750 off INVOICE?? Even so, can I do better with just hardballing down to a lower price (not something I'm good at, but...)? Also doesn't seem easy to find out what invoice prices are nowadays, compared to the early 2000's. Looking at a specific vehicle on a dealer lot.
I just used the Costco program yesterday and received invoice minus the $750 and minus the current $1000 factory to dealer incentive. I also received another $1000 off dur to being a current Volvo owner (loyalty program) So total was invoice less $2750. Volvo is also making the first 3 payments up to $1350 and then Costco gives you a $500 gift card, so the total savings off invoice was $4600.
sierra3 Posts: 2Can you tell me what model the $1000 factory to dealer incentive was for?
I just bought an xc60 last weekend but was not told about this incentive.
darkspeed Posts: 1Hi buddy,
It is a Factory to Dealer incentive, which means no one advertises it to the consumer. It is designed to be an incentive for the dealers to be more aggressive and willing to sell [XC60] for less. They count on you not knowing its existence.
If the deal is already done, chances are, they will not want to redo the paperwork, nor want to acknowledge that it does exist.
My biggest suggestion to you is, ask for it, but if they refuse, let them know that when you receive the Customer Satisfaction survey from Volvo, you will be forced to reflect that with a bad score (anything other then a 5 or Outstanding to Volvo is a failure; even a 4). The survey is either sent by email or by mail.
They may also put in a fake email address when they RDR the vehicle so that they receive it instead of you.
Keep in mind that all incentives are regional, your dealer may not have had it in the first place.
Would you provide a breakdown of you purchase price? I am currently looking for a 2013 xc60.
Would you provide a breakdown of your purchase price? I am currently looking for a 2013 xc60.
nolechic Posts: 1I have the following offers from a Florida dealership. Are either one good deals? I think they are? Which is a better deal?
2012 Volvo XC60 3.2 FWD
CPO w/ safe and secure
Miles: 6000
Climate Package
car price: $30.5K
with taxes and fees: $33,250
2012 Volvo XC60 3.2 FWD
Miles: 29501
Premier Plus
Climate Package
car price: $31K
with taxes and fees: $33,750
Florida seems to have some of the highest on average doc fees. I've tried to get them to come off the 600 doc fee, but they won't see to budge at this point.
I've done tons of research, but interested in live feedback.
Xc-60t6 with platinum and climate package caspian blue adds $650.
Invoice $45,293 but they started at $45,007 less the $1000 factory to dealer incentive and $1000 Volvo loyalty and the $750 Costco brought the price to $42,257. If you finance through Volvo they make the first three payments up to $1350 and you get a $500 Costco gift card when you do the Costco survey. So total cost is $40,437 plus tax and tags.
This is a 2013 with 25 miles on it.
Thanks for the info. It's a helpful start.
oldjim3 Posts: 13Does anyone know the exact specifics of the incentives? I purchased a new 2013 XC60 on the last day of June using the Costco offer. I financed through Volvo Car Finance and received the Volvo employee price less the $1000 sales incentive, less the $1000 Volvo loyalty incentive, less the $750 Costco incentive which was good until 7/31/13, plus I received the Costco $500 Gift Card.
The day after I purchased the car I learned about the 3-months free payment incentive and when I asked for it I was told it did not start until 7/1/13 and that I was not eligible. The inference was that the 3-months free payment incentive had replaced the Volvo $1000 2013 Sales incentive but this post suggests otherwise.
I am in the Western Region. Does anyone KNOW the facts?
I purchased in PA last weekend of July. I brought up the factory to dealer cash to the salesperson, she checked with the sales manager and said yes it applies- which makes sense because Edmunds TMV was $1000 under invoice. The 3 month payment from Volvo was plastered throughout the showroom.
I got this offer from the internet sales manager at Borton Volvo in Minneapolis. I requested he give the best price before any incentives applied. He took off the $1000 factory cash anyway. Since I own a Saab the will trough in $2000 in loyalty. Anybody think I can take them lower? Will end of month help?
2013 Volvo XC60 T6 R-Design Black Sapphire Metallic with Off Black Leather with Soft Beige Inlays STOCK # 04782
Equipment: Platinum Trim Level, Climate Package, Metallic Paint, Remote Start
Your Price: $47,956 this includes $1000 factory to dealer cash

Passerella iliaca
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Gerrit Vyn
Typically seen sending up a spray of leaf litter as they kick around in search of food, Fox Sparrows are dark, splotchy sparrows of dense thickets. Named for the rich red hues that many Fox Sparrows wear, this species is nevertheless one of our most variable birds, with four main groups that can range from foxy red to gray to dark brown. Since they breed primarily in remote areas, many people see them in winter when the birds move into backyard thickets.
Fox Sparrows are large, round-bodied sparrows with stout bills and medium-length tails.
Though highly variable (see "Regional Differences"), Fox Sparrows are generally rust-brown above with a mix of rust and gray on the head, and heavy brownish splotches on the flanks and the center of the chest. The bill can range from yellowish to dark gray.
Fox Sparrows spend a lot of time on the ground, using their sturdy legs to kick away leaf litter in search of insects and seeds. They rarely venture far from cover, and they frequently associate with other sparrows. In spring and summer, listen for Fox Sparrows' sweet, whistled song from scrub or forest; also, pay attention for a sharp smack call.
Fox Sparrows breed in coniferous forest and dense mountain scrub. They spend winters in scrubby habitat and forest, when they are most likely to be seen kicking around under backyard bird feeders.
Song Sparrows have thinner bills and tend to be less blotchy on the head and flanks than Fox Sparrows. Both species vary in appearance across North America, and they are most similar in the coastal Northwest. Even there, Song Sparrows tend to be more clearly streaked than the blotchy, heavily spotted Fox Sparrow. Song Sparrows do not habitually scratch in the leaf litter to find food, as Fox Sparrows do. Savannah Sparrows are always paler and smaller than Fox Sparrows, and are usually found in open rather than brushy habitats.
Fox Sparrows vary greatly across their range. "Red" Fox Sparrows, widely distributed across the boreal forest of northern North America, are rusty above with some pale gray on the head and rufous splotches on the underparts. The "Slate-colored" Fox Sparrow of the mountains of the Interior West is small-billed and dull gray above with brownish splotches below. The range-restricted "Thick-billed" Fox Sparrow of California's Sierra Nevada mountains looks like a "Slate-colored" Fox Sparrow but has a very large, chunky bill. "Sooty" Fox Sparrows along the Pacific Coast are very dark brown above.
Fox Sparrows tend to feed on the ground close to dense vegetation. They enjoy small seeds and many kinds of berries. They may scratch for fallen seeds underneath bird feeders, particularly if they are close to cover. Encouraging shrubs or berry bushes to grow at the edges of your yard, or keeping a brush pile, are good ways to provide places for Fox Sparrows to forage. Find out more about what this bird likes to eat and what feeder is best by using the Project FeederWatch Common Feeder Birds bird list.
Fox Sparrows are common but retiring birds, so you may have to look carefully to spot one scratching in the leaf litter under a streamside thicket or forest edge tangle. Check a range map to know when you're likely to see one (wintertime over much of the East and the southern Pacific Coast; summertime in Alaska, Canada, and western mountains). During the summer, in the appropriate habitat, you may hear a male singing his rich, whistling song; in winter look for them on the ground under bird feeders.

text: Hey Guys, Ride a R1200GS in a variety of terrain and climates throughout europe. Need a all-in-one top of the line set up in terms of jacket and pants, no extra waterproof layers/liners to add please, that waterproofing needs to be built into the outside of the jacket. I'm about to pop a deposit down with atomic moto for the new Klim Adventure Rally 2 J+P combo and just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any options out there that are highly regarded by inmates before I place an order. I basically want the safest setup I can find, and Klim seems to be well regarded here and as it stands I'm inclined to believe their materials and build quality are about as high-end as I can go. I am hoping the AR2 uses their latest technology to great effect but i'll be taking a punt on that as it ships in March. Let me know if there is anything else I should be considering please.

A handful of insights from seasoned triathletes on what you can do this off-season to make yourself a better runner next year.
If you're a bit fatigued from a long season of training and racing, maybe it's time to put up your feet and relax, or to go on a vacation that doesn't include swimming, cycling or running.
Taking a break after a long season of training and racing is crucial, especially from a running perspective. It can help your body get over nagging injuries that are accentuated by the high-impact pounding of long runs and speed workouts. It can give your body a clean slate to start retooling for next year, especially when it comes to rebuilding your aerobic base. And, perhaps best of all, it can help you clear your mind of any excess baggage from your recently completed season so that you can focus on new goals for next year.
Here are a handful of insights from seasoned triathletes on what you can do this off-season to make yourself a better runner next year.
RELATED: Running Vs. Triathlon Running
Take Time
Taking time to unwind and stop training (and stop thinking about training) is important. Most coaches recommend a period of at least three weeks after your last race to hang up your superhero costume and live life like a regular (non-triathlete) person. It's that not you should be a complete slacker and fall into bad habits, but it's a perfect chance to make up for the everything you missed during your busy season of training and racing such as going to the movies, cleaning out your garage, reading a good book or spending time with your significant other or family.
But that doesn't mean you should be a total veg when it comes to exercising. Use this time to be healthy in a comfortable, non-obsessive way. Stay active, but don't think about workouts. Just do what you feel like. That might mean jogging three miles with a friend from work. Or simply running around a local park for 15 to 20 minutes. But don't wear a watch or keep a training log.

Hi, straight to the point: I have a good working linked list that I want a bunch of structs to inherit. Using "struct blah : Object {code};" doesn't work and I know I could get the same thing by copying the code and pasting it into all my structs and renaming parts but that would be a whole lot of copypasta and a big mess... I've read a lot of stuff on inheritance and other stuff and have learnt everything I know about c++ from internet resources, and I've been working on this linked list business for ages and I finally decided to just join a random forum and ask for help (the whole thing would have been a whole damned lot quicker if I just asked in the first place but I guess I like to struggle at things on my own).
Here's the linked list stuff, I want a way for a regular struct to inherit it:
typedef struct Object{//an "object" of the list
Object *Next;
Object *Previous;
void Add();
void Remove(Object *n);
void CleanList();
} Object;
Object *First;
Object *Last;
Object *ListPointer;
void Object::Add(){
Object *Temp;
if (First){// If the list already has a First (the list exists)
Temp = new Object; //NULL <-- |First|...|Last| --> NULL
Last->Next = Temp; //NULL <-- |First|...|Last| --> |temp|
Temp->Previous = Last; //NULL <-- |First|...|Last| <-> |temp|
Temp->Next = NULL; //NULL <-- |First|...|Last| <-> |temp| --> NULL
Last = Temp; //NULL <-- |First|...|oldL| <-> |Last| --> NULL
ListPointer = Last; //NULL <-- |First|...|Last| --> NULL //and last is pointed to by the list
Temp = NULL;
delete Temp;
else{//there is no list yet
ListPointer = new Object;
First = ListPointer;
Last = ListPointer;
ListPointer->Next = NULL;
ListPointer->Previous = NULL;// NULL <-- |newPA| --> NULL
First = ListPointer;
Last = ListPointer;// NULL <-- |new/First/Last| --> NULL
void Object::Remove(Object *n){
if (n != First){
if (n->Next){
Object *tempb;
tempb = new Object;
tempb->Previous = n->Previous;
delete tempb;
if (Last == n){
Last = n->Previous;
if (n != Last){
if (n->Previous){
Object *tempc;
tempc = new Object;
tempc->Next = n->Next;
delete tempc;
if (First == n){
First = n->Next;
n->Next = NULL;
n->Previous = NULL;
void Object::CleanList(){ // Destroys the entire list
Object *tempa, *r;
r = new Object;
tempa = new Object;
r = First; // Start at the First Object of this list, for better speed
while (r){ // While r still means something
tempa = r->Next; // Save our next APointer
r->Remove(r); // Remove the one we're at
r = tempa; // And advance.
delete r;
delete tempa;
delete ListPointer;
First = NULL;
Last = NULL;

It's only an offseason if you actually, well, take it "off." The weekend saw two exhibitions on two continents feature some big names, with Andy Murray, Andy Roddick, John Isner and Nicolas Almagro competing in the inaugural Miami Tennis Cup at Crandon Park, and Maria Sharapova teaming up with Ana Ivanovic to take on Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci in Milan.
As expected, the matches yielded some great moments. Here are some of our favorites.
1. Roddick chills out: After beating Murray 6-2, 6-3 on Saturday to make the finals of the Miami Tennis Cup -- remember, this is an exhibition, folks -- Roddick, who says he's carrying an extra four pounds since retiring in September, joked, "If we would have gone three sets, I would have had a full body cramp. It would have been awkward for all of you."
So how does a retired tennis player keep himself loose during a match to avoid that cramping? Let Roddick show you.
2. Sharapova, Ivanovic get third degree: These two glamour girls were a bit of an odd match for the Milan exhibition, given that they don't really know each other and have spent their careers competing hard against each other. Matching them up to play doubles? Well, the idea was pretty laughable. But the weekend yielded entertainment, including this joint Q&A spearheaded by Ubaldo Scannagatta, a veteran Italian journalist who never met an awkward question he didn't want to ask.
Highlights from the interview:
• Ivanovic and Sharapova may get dogged for their movement on the court, but off the court they're two of the best movers in the game. There was some deft question-dodging here.
• Asked which would get married first, Ivanovic looked over to Sharapova, who ended her engagement to Sasha Vujacic at the end of the spring, and said, "You were closer."
• Nice move by Sharapova to praise the Serbian fans. She'll win some points in Belgrade for that one. Then again, she might lose some points for refusing to move to Serbia.
• Sharapova proves she's the pro, though. As the interview gets a bit more ridiculous, she slowly begins to gather her things and then finds a prime moment to shut it down. Perfect timing as ever.
You can see the full interview here:
3. Grigor Dimitrov's surprise cameo: Unless you're a hardcore tennis nerd, you probably aren't going to sit and watch this 18-minute video of Sharapova's walking the streets of Milan. But if you did, you were rewarded with a surprising cameo by the 20-year-old Dimitrov, who, for some inexplicable reason, joined Sharapova's team for a stroll. He even offered Sharapova some Sugarpova at the 16-minute mark. Dimitrov, who now trains in Sweden after splitting with the Mouratoglou Academy in Paris, was last seen buddying up to Serena Williams. Things that make you go, Hmmmm.
4. Sharapova and Ivanovic doubles: Yeah, let's not let this happen again. There's a reason these two don't play doubles. The pair lost, unsurprisingly, to Errani and Vinci 6-4, but their awkward high-fives more than made up for their confusion.

Joe made strides this year and landed a lunker of a video part-the opener in the highly anticipated Stepchild/Nomis video, Child Support-it's a banger for sure, and a breath of fresh air. His precision, finesse, and creativity on a snowboard are matched by few; his flair for style and awesome attitude is matched by none. But more than anything, he makes snowboarding look like partying, and that's the ticket". -E.L.

|I climbed this route with a friend on a beautiful autumn day. Great treecolors in de valley, nice snow on the summit and klettersteig. The glacier was a bit icy so we fortunately didn't bring our crampons and ice axe for nothing. It was a long day from hammersbach to the summit. The klettersteig was sometimes covered under the snow which created some tricky parts. We summited just before sunset and slept on the platt. We had the route and the summit for our selves! We stood up quite early to watch sunrise from the summit. Magnificient views. The route down to Ehrwald/Eibsee was also beautiful, but early in the morning with some icy parts.

It worked: Tracy Morgan has joined the twitterverse.
The grassroots effort spearheaded by celeb-stalking site OMGICU succeeded in getting the "30 Rock" funnyman to sign up for a Twitter account and he posted his first tweet this afternoon. We couldn't be happier.
"Welcome To Tracy Morgans World..." he tweeted.
The well-documented comedic prowess of the "30 Rock" funnyman has been preserved on television and in film -- but shockingly before today his genius had yet to be showcased on Twitter.
Fans of Morgan stood up for their right to have round-the-clock unadulterated access to the comic.
An Internet campaign started by OMGICU yesterday was aimed at getting the funnyman to bring to Twitter the same zippy one-liners and hilarious non-sequitors for which he's famous. And, thanks to them, we'll now get to enjoy digestible 140-character Morganisms on the regular.
Think of the possibilities from the man whose alter ego on "30 Rock," Tracy Jordan, has brought us such gems as:
- "I am a stabbing robot"
- "I may hug people too hard and get lost at malls, but I'm not an idiot."
- "I love this cornbread so much, I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant."
- "Live every week like Shark Week"
- "Tell her that you want her privates and your privates to do a high five."
It's magical. Clearly, the Twacy.org effort is a marketing ploy by OMGICU, but we're psyched.

OCEAN CITY — The top analysts at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research, who gather in December each year to share their thoughts on key trends and opportunities in the year to come, are delivering mixed opinions for 2011. On the downside, a combination of stubbornly high unemployment, cautious spending by consumers and lagging home prices in the U.S. seems likely to keep the domestic economy from gaining much momentum. Yet they are more optimistic about the prospects for financial markets, highlighting some potential bright spots both at home and abroad.
In past years, slow growth and a battered consumer might have heralded a tough year ahead for U.S. stocks. But equity markets may well avoid that pattern in 2011, suggests David Bianco, head of U.S. Equity Strategy for BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. Bianco looks for a particularly strong performance in 2011 from the Standard & Poor's 500, an index dominated by large, well-capitalized companies with international reach that now earn nearly 40% of their profits abroad.
U.S. companies are increasingly looking beyond the borders for growth, a sign of the growing disparity between developed and emerging markets. As the U.S. economy struggles to expand, China's gross domestic product will likely rise by 9% and the economy of emerging Asia by 8% overall, according to T. J. Bond, Emerging Asia Economist for BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. "Asia really is leading the global economy," Bond says.
As China and other emerging economic powers race to develop their infrastructures and meet the needs of their rapidly developing consumer classes, a number of U.S. industries are well positioned to tap into that growth. Bianco's favored sectors now are technology, energy, industrials and materials. "Emerging countries remain very welcoming to leading global brands and leading technology," he says. "That puts the S&P companies in a great position to take advantage of cheap capital from the U.S. and good business expansion opportunities abroad."
Like the U.S., Europe remains mired in a long, slow recovery process. If anything, Europe's challenges are even greater, considering the sovereign debt crises that have led to bailouts for both Greece and Ireland.
"Portugal and Spain may also wind up seeking help from the European Union," says Ethan Harris, head of Developed Markets Economics for Bank of America Merrill Lynch. "I believe it's going to be a rocky year for Europe, at least in the first half."
Still, investors may not want to let a cloudy picture obscure their view of one part of Europe that is doing well.
"Germany has been an export machine, and it is currently having a very solid recovery," says Kate Moore, Global Equity Strategist for BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. "It has great, well-capitalized exporting companies, access to emerging markets and excellent growth prospects." In particular, Moore sees promise in large companies that do much of their business internationally.
Some economists have suggested that collateral damage from Europe's debt crisis could send the U.S. back into recession. However, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research team believes that the concerted policy moves the Federal Reserve has undertaken should keep the economy growing, albeit slowly. Although the Fed has been criticized for some decisions — including its resolve to buy at least $600 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds to keep interest rates low — Harris anticipates that the government efforts will pay off.
"It's hard for people to understand the importance of what the Fed has achieved and is continuing to achieve," he says. "The outcome could have been a lot worse if the Fed hadn't acted. Its moves restarted the markets."
Even with the central bank's support, the U.S. economy is unlikely to surge this year, and a robust recovery in the job market won't come quickly.
"There are still a lot of headwinds," Harris adds. "The U.S. economy grew by about 3% in 2010, and we are looking for similar growth in the year ahead," helped along in part by the recent tax law signed in December.
Still, Harris doubts that the unemployment rate will drop below 9% by the end of 2011. And home prices, which plummeted during the mortgage crisis and have remained depressed, are also unlikely to rebound. On the positive side, although consumers today are spending less and saving more — adding another short-term drag on the economy — getting household balance sheets in order after years of heavy borrowing should eventually help fuel sustainable long-term growth.
Investors, meanwhile, should proceed with caution, weighing how much investment risk they can handle, how much equity exposure fits their needs and where to look for opportunities during the year ahead. The search may not always be easy, nor the recovery as robust as most investors would hope for. But a clearly visible light at the end of the tunnel is cause for cautious optimism. Says Harris: "This may be a below-normal recovery, but it is a recovery nevertheless, and there is the potential for opportunities."

Jeremy Gauntlett makes shortlist for ConCourt judge
16 Jan 2013 08:15 | Sapa
The other four names on the list are judges Selby Baqwa, Lebotsang Bosielo, Brian Spilg and advocate Mbuyiseli Madlanga, Beeld reported on Wednesday.
The Judicial Services Commission (JSC) will interview the candidates on February 24, then forward four of the candidates' names to President Jacob Zuma.
According to the JSC's spokesperson, CP Fourie, the JSC will not name its preferred candidate and Zuma will have to decide which of the candidates he wants to appoint.
Gauntlett made headlines in 2012 when he was ignored as a potential candidate for a judicial appointment in Cape Town.
After a public outcry, the JSC eventually acknowledged that Gauntlett had not been appointed because he "was short-tempered" and "did not have the humble qualities expected of a member of the judiciary".
An even bigger outcry followed, after which more than 60 of the country's leading academics and institutions declared their support for Gauntlett. – Sapa

Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola shines his spotlight on a Las Vegas couple (Teri Garr, Frederic Forrest) whose break-up on the 4th of July leads them both to a night on the strip in pursuit of their romantic fantasies (Raul Julia, Nastassia Kinski). But in this town of gamblers and dreamers, should they bet it all on dreams, or give true love another roll of the dice? Featuring breathtaking design, show stopping set pieces, the stunning photography of Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor) and accompanied by the wonderful Oscar nominated music of the one and only Tom Waits, this neon explosion of color, sound and innovation is a cinematic valentine for all movie lovers.
