Check Houseplants for Mites
Spider mites can become quite a problem on houseplants during the winter months. These tiny insects are very hard to see, often going undetected until their population explodes and you begin to see their webs on the plants. To control them, spray insecticidal soap two to three times a week and mist plants with water from time to time.
Start Onion Seeds
Start onions indoors from seed now and set them in a sunny spot. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover them lightly with vermiculite or sand. Keep the soil temperature at about 70 degrees F. Once the seeds germinate, place the trays under grow lights, thin seedlings to 1 to 2 inches apart, and keep the plants watered and fed. Keep the plants trimmed to 3 inches tall and set them out in the garden in late March.
Add Wood Ashes
Adding wood ashes to your garden can help reduce soil acidity, but it's always a good idea to test your soil first so you'll know how much to apply. Wood ashes not only add potassium to the soil, they also raise the pH. Don't apply ashes to your garden if your soil pH is already 7.0 or more. In general, use 1/2 to 1 pound of wood ash per year to mulch around shrubs and roses, 10 to 15 pounds per 1,000 square feet spread on the lawn, and 10 to 30 pounds per 1,000 square feet turned into vegetable and flower gardens.
Take Geranium Cuttings
If you're overwintering your geraniums indoors, they're probably getting tall and leggy due to the reduced light. Now is a good time to cut them back to about a foot tall. Save a few 4- to 6-inch pieces to root by dipping the cut ends in rooting hormone and then placing them in a pot filled with peat moss and sand. Keep the pots out of direct light while the cuttings take root, which should be in a few weeks. When new growth appears, you'll know your cuttings have rooted.
Keep Spring Bulbs Mulched
Hardy spring bulbs march to their own music, sending up shoots when weather seems much too cold. I always worry about 3-inch daffodil shoots or blooming snowdrops and crocuses when a cold snap hits, but if their roots are properly mulched, they are remarkably resistant to cold temperatures. When they're well mulched, these plants stop their growth during cold spells and revive during warmth. If a serious freeze is predicted, place 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch around any exposed shoots.

Who Will Occupy Key Posts in Modi's Cabinet?
As India's Bharatiya Janata Party appeared headed for a thumping victory in the federal elections on Friday, attention shifted to those who will take up key posts in the next cabinet.
BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will lead the team but the party's spokesmen refused to divulge names before India's President Pranab Mukherjee formally invites Mr. Modi to form the government.
This has not stopped political pundits from speculating about Mr. Modi's A-team, or those who will help recharge Asia's third-largest economy.
Here are a few names doing the rounds:
Narendra Modi
Along with the post of Prime Minister, he may take charge of some key ministries, if party veterans like L.K Advani do not join his cabinet. Since the party looks like it is headed to majority in the lower of Parliament, Mr. Modi will not have to negotiate to keep the peace with his allies by offering them the top jobs.
Arun Jaitley
BJP's frontline strategist Arun Jaitley is widely seen as a frontrunner to succeed P. Chidambaram as the next finance minister. Like Mr. Chidambaram, Mr. Jaitley is a lawyer by profession. He is the leader of opposition in the Rajya Sabha, or upper house of Parliament and has years of experience managing party affairs. He has been a strong opposition voice criticizing the economic policies of the Congress-led government on the floor of the Rajya Sabha.
Sushma Swaraj
The Cicero of India's lower house of Indian Parliament was barely seen during the election campaign that was led by Mr. Modi but Ms. Swaraj, known for her exhausting style of speech is likely to manage the External Affairs portfolio.
Manohar Parrikar
Goa Chief minister Manohar Parrikar is known to ride his scooter to work. He may be given the difficult task of managing India's Home ministry that oversees India's internal security and its large police and paramilitary forces.
Rajnath Singh
BJP President Rajnath Singh could get the Defense ministry, a department which traditionally goes to a senior leader of the ruling party. Mr. Singh, a former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, has under previous BJP-led governments handled the agriculture and transport ministries.
Arun Shourie
Arun Shourie, 73 , who worked as a journalist once could be the country's next trade minister. The last time the BJP occupied the seat of power in New Delhi until 2004 he was a federal minister for communication and information technology.
Key role for other veterans:
Murli Manohar Joshi could be the speaker of Lok Sabha. Amit Shah, a key aide of Mr. Modi may hold the charge as a junior minister in the Prime Minister's office due to his proximity to Mr. Modi.
The Aviation ministry is likely to go to Rajiv Pratap Rudy, a commercial pilot, who held charge of the ministry from 2002 to 2003 during a brief rule of the BJP. The ministry of law and justice may go to Ravi Shankar Prasad, and the health ministry to Harsh Vardhan, a medical doctor best known as one of the pioneers of polio vaccination program in India.

New on iOS and Android is "BioSys 3011 – The End of World" which is a free to play, the sci-fi post-apocalyptic side scroll style game from Finger Fun Studios Ltd.
It´s a cool underwater fantasy run, jump and shoot adventure that includes a lot of action, future weapon technology, submarines and super suites.
Here is the Story:
In December 3011, after the world war ended, all the nations came together and decided to put a ban on all forms of nuclear technology, including energy. BIOSYS Corporation which is the sole producer and provider of energy for over a decade, signs another energy supply contract for South American states. As a result of this, BIOSYS Corp introduced a new energy source known as WHIGHT. This is the corporation's most recent breakthrough technology in electricity and it is been extracted from the Earth's core. Otherwise known as White light, WHIGHT is the most powerful and most recent form of electricity in the underwater world. Due to the impact of the World War, the world has become a field of ruins and another dangerous DNA mutating threat has been developed by BIOSYS Corp. This threat is known as the M5 virus.
The M5 virus is capable of infecting the DNA structure of organic organisms to mutate them into Strange and Very Deadly Monsters. These Monsters are rapidly increasing the mortality rate in the underwater world; this is because their DNA has been mutated to attack Mortals and any other form of life in the underwater world. This Life threatening M5 virus must be stopped and the world certainly needs a worthy hero to accomplish this mission and help save it from total destruction.
ALexa an underground researcher finds this out and sets out on a life threatening and adventurous mission to save the world by stopping the M5 Virus and destroying BIOSYS Corporation completely.

The exceptionally intelligent and discerning students that comprise the Penn State Non-Theists have, as a demonstration of their great wisdom, arranged to fly me to their fine University to address an audience of however-many-show-up.
They've setup a Facebook page for the event and I've decided that I'd rather not speak to an empty room when there are hundreds of seats that we could fill with people of varying beliefs. So, if you're in the area, or can be in the area, you're invited as well. If you want to invite some theist friends, feel free.
When: Tuesday, March 31st, 6:30pm-9:00pm.
Where: 101 Chambers, State College, PA
Not coincidentally, March 31st will be my 40th birthday. On the list of 'Great Ways To Spend My 40th Birthday'…this was very near the top. It'll be much better, though, if we fill the room and I get to spend nearly the entire time answering questions and having interesting discussions.
Since mentioning this on my Facebook page, the two questions I've been asked most often are:
1. Will this be recorded?
2. When will you come to [insert city/university here]?
The answer to #1 is: I don't know, but I hope so.
The answer to #2 is: As soon as someone makes the arrangements.
I'll speak pretty much anywhere I'm invited, as long as there's no out-of-pocket expense to me and as long as we can work it around my schedule (I actually have a real job with limited vacation). Several other university groups have asked and I haven't turned anyone down…but so far, only Penn State has managed to follow through.
You're not really going to let your group be shown up by Penn State, are you? Is Penn State really the best university in the world? Are universities in the United States really superior to universities in Tahiti, Greece, Australia, Great Britain and Japan?(I've got a passport and I'm not afraid to use it!) Has Penn State managed to out-do the Atheist Longhorns at UT Austin? It seems they might have…
In all seriousness, if you're able to come to the event, we'd love to have you there. The bigger the turnout, the less actual 'lecture' work I'll be doing in order to accommodate as many questions as possible. I'm much better 'under the gun' (just don't bring a real gun), so let's put me to the test.
It's one week from today. Start planning.

Computex: AMD Launching Tahiti 2 Graphics Cards Next Week
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 8, 2012 - 01:23 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tahiti, graphics, gpu, computex, binning, amd, 7970 ghz edition
AMD is having a string of successes with its 28nm 7000 series graphics cards. While it was dethroned by NVIDIA's GTX 680, the AMD Radeon HD 7970 is easier to get a hold of. It certainly seems like the company is having a much easier time in manufacturing its GPUs compared to NVIDIA's Kepler cards. AMD has been cranking out HD 7970s for a few months now and they have gotten the binning process down such that they are getting a good number of pieces of silicon that have a healthy bit of overhead over that of the 7970's stock speeds.
And so enters Tahiti 2. Tahiti 2 represents GPU silicon that is binning not only for HD 7970 speeds but is able to push up the default clock speed while running with lower voltage. As a result, the GPUs are able to stay within the same TDP of current 7970 cards but run faster.
But how much faster? Well, SemiAccurate is reporting that AMD is seeing as much as a 20% clock speed improvement over current Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards. This means that cards are able to run at clock speeds up to approximately 1075MHz – quite a bit above the current reference clock speed of 925MHz!
The AMD 7970 3GB card. Expect Tahiti 2 to look exactly the same but run at higher clock speeds.
They are further reporting that, because the TDP has not changed, no cooler, PCB, or memory changes will be needed. This will make it that much easier for add in board partners to get the updated reference-based GPUs out as quickly as possible and with minimal cost increases (we hope). You can likely count on board partners capitalizing on the 1,000MHz+ speeds by branding the new cards "GHz Edition" much like the Radeon 7770 has enjoyed.
With 7970 chips having overhead and binning higher than needed, an updated and lower-power using refresh may also be in order for AMD's 7950 "Tahiti Pro" graphics cards. Heck, maybe they can refresh the entire lineup with better binned silicon but keep the same clock speeds in order to reduce power consumption on all their cards.
Though I've jumped to Nivida camp (first time in 10 years) This news makes me really happy. Competition is needed, and it is nice to see AMD to at least compete on the GPU front.
At least compete?
You're not new to the NVidia camp. You have been there all along, and you know it.
Awwwwwww yeaaaaaaa.....boiiiiiiiiiii!
Now you've done it AMD, big Kepler is coming. Lube up the ol' cornhole, Nvidia is going back to the madafakin Battlecruiser die! It's gonna be like a nuclear reactor in there!
Big kepler is coming..... Given the performance of what was supposed to be the 660, wait till they release what should have been the 680...
+1 Lube
+2 lube
+1 "finally compete"
I don't think this card can compete but we'll see. Chances are it is still too hot, uses too much power and performs slower even with more VRAM than my 680. Oh and I'm not at all new to the NV camp.

This Memphis team probably needs Rasheed worse than we do. They have a team full of young, talented, physical players who don't know when to shut the hell up. He could mentor the heck out of these guys.
Hubie realizes Felton missing Melo too. What`s so hard about doing a basic entry pass, he`s starting to piss me off
did we get away with a foul on that gay dunk?
At this point, do we stop giving it to Novak!?
Where is camby???
2nd night in a row we've had a bad break to end the first half. We could have easily been up, but down by 5 is what we're going to have to work with instead
If Novak is not gonna hit shots there`s no point in having him out there
Our rebounding has been horrific. Let's go fellas. Tighten up!
memphis came to play, no joke tonight. One of our bigs needs to step up on D and handle Gasol

By Susan Black
One midsummer afternoon I met a recent college graduate with a degree in social work. She'd applied for jobs at a hospital and at a family service agency, but she'd ruled out working in schools.
"Teen girls," she told me, "are getting more aggressive and vicious, and they're committing more crimes."
In 2005, Newsweek described a "significant rise in violent behavior among girls" that amounted to a "national crisis." The article, titled "Bad Girls Go Wild," sounded an alarm that spread quickly, with little scrutiny.
Has there been a surge in teen girls' criminal behavior? Are girls' crimes increasingly violent? Have crimes committed by girls reached the crisis point?
The answers, I've found, are partly yes -- but mostly no.

Eight or nine years ago, I was doing a ride-along with a Wichita Falls police officer when he was sent to the station to arrest a woman who owed a lot of fines to the public library there.
I tagged along as he cuffed her and booked her into the Wichita County Jail. She was mortified, of course. I was, too.
I knew the City Council had passed a law allowing for the arrest of people who owed fines. I just never figured it would happen. And I certainly did not divine that I would be present for such an event.
Today, I see that a Copperas Cove man has been arrested for overdue book fines under a similar law. Fox News is making something out of it.
It does still seem a little radical to have a law like this, even to this librarian.
Good news, then: We started today our food for fines program. If you owe a fine you can bring a canned good to pay it off at a rate of $2 per canned item. The food goes to the food bank in Wimberley.

May was a month of sales gains and new model releases for the German brands. Mercedes-Benz released the new 2013 SL550 while Volkswagen unleashed its new 2012 Golf R hot hatch. BMW posted a 7.3-percent increase, while other brands posted double-digit increases compared to May 2011.
Volkswagen – 38,657 sales, up 28.4 percent
The Jetta continues to be the brand's volume leader with 12,962 sedans sold last month; still, it wasn't enough to avoid a decrease of 5.5 percent compared to May 2011. The redesigned Passat is still selling well with 10,178 sold. Last month marked the start of U.S. sales for the Golf R, which found its way home to 423 customers. Its tamer sibling the GTI sold 1568 units (down 9.4 percent), while 1887 customers bought the Golf (up 7.2 percent). On the SUV side, VW sold 2475 Tiguans ( a decrease of 19.9 percent) and 700 Touaregs (up 20.5 percent).
Audi – 11,503 sales, up 10.0 percent
Overall May sales were up 10.0 percent thanks in large part to the A6 sedan, which sold 1693 unit, a big jump of 260.2 percent compared to the same period last year. Also up was the Q5 SUV with 2332 sold, an increase of 5.0 percent. The remainder of Audi's lineup, however, was all down. Audi sold 3058 units of its popular A4, which was 4.2 percent lower than May 2011. The sleek A7 reported a 2.5-percent decrease with 792 sold, while the A8 was down 6.7 percent with 528 units sold. Both the A7 and A8 will soon include S models, which may boost future sales. In May, Audi sold 90 R8s and 198 TTs, decreases of about 10 percent compared to May 2011.
Mercedes-Benz – 22,515, up 19.2 percent
The new 2013 SL went on sale last month and found its way home to 709 customers, a jump of 458.3 percent compared to May 2011. The CLS sold 743 units compared to just 38 in May 2011, while the SLK also posted big gains with 405 units sold (up 542.9 percent). The C-Class was the brand's best seller with 6649 sold, a 34.7-percent increase compared to last year. The E-Class was flat with 5576 cars sold, while the soon-to-be-replaced GL and GLK SUVs slid with 1722 units sold (down 8.6 percent) and 2133 units sold (down 3.7 percent) respectively.
BMW – 22,168, up 7.3 percent
BMW sold 6321 3 Series models last month, representing a 22.1-percent drop compared to May 2011. The 6 Series experienced the biggest gains with 725 units sold (up 159.9 percent). Also up was the X5 SUV (3730 units, up 39.0 percent), the 5 Series (6102, up 45.3 percent), and the 1 Series (628 sold, up 51.7 percent). Summer is just around the corner, but sales of the top-down Z4 have slipped 56.3 percent (284 units) compared to May 2011.

I ordered the parts for my Autonomous ro-Bot Experimental Lab , ABEL. I wonder what the bot-mom Becky is going to think when she's see's a large plastic toy show up on the porch.
Last night at 2:am in the morning I finished wiring my latest Bot, Me-Me and did a test run around the dojo. This bot is scheduled to compete at Critter Crunch in the 20 lb class. I had asked a couple of kids that hang around what would be a good name for it, but wanting a female gender bot this time. One kid asked if the bot could be named after a person. I said" who do you have in mind?". The kid said "Me!", and another kid next to him then said "Me!". So I named it after both of them.

Booker Reunites with Williams
November 17, 2011
Coach Booker boasts nearly 25 years of coaching experience at the high school, collegiate and international levels.
"I'm glad to have Angelo on my staff here at Cheyney University, he was a big part to my success at Cabrini College, and is welll respected as a hurdle coach in the track & field community. Angelo will also serve the programs recruiting coordinator," stated Head Coach James Williams.
Prior to joining the Wolves staff he was a member of the Cabrini College staff and he spent the 2005-06 academic year as an assistant coach at Temple University. He spent seven years at the University of Pennsylvania from 1990-97.
Booker served six years at the high school level coaching at Roman Catholic High School from 1997-2000 and at Coatesville High School from 2000-03. In 2003-04, he returned to the Division III level at Ursinus College.
Booker's coaching experience has reached the international stage. Prior to the 1992 Summer Olympic Games, he helped in the development of medal winners Tony Dees and Jack Pierce in the 110m hurdles.
As a student-athlete at California State University at Los Angeles, Booker finished fourth at the 1982 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Booker's coaching career began at the University of Turobo, located in Cagus, Puerto Rico, from 1987-89.

Welcoming ten new dancers for next season
This page contains information which may be out-of-date or no longer relevant. It is kept here for archive purposes only.
Northern Ballet welcomes ten new dancers to the Company for the autumn season and bids a sad farewell to three popular dancers, well-known to Northern Ballet audiences.
Five additions to the corps de ballet include Jessica Cohen from California and a graduate of the English National Ballet School, Isaac Lee-Baker and Sean Bates, both graduates of the Royal Ballet School, along with Luisa Rocco from Royal Swedish Ballet and Mark Dennis, a graduate of West Australian Ballet.
The Company will take on five apprentices including Mariana Rodrigues from the Royal Ballet School, Olivia Holland and Joseph Taylor, both graduates of Elmhurst School for Dance, and Shanti Mouget from Royal Ballet School of Flanders. Northern Ballet will also welcome Matthew Topliss, a former Northern Ballet Academy student who graduated from Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in partnership with Scottish Ballet this summer.
At the end of the summer season three dancers have left the Company to pursue other careers. Premier Dancer Georgina May danced numerous lead roles in her ten years with Northern Ballet and created the roles of Ophelia in Hamlet and Aurora in A Sleeping Beauty Tale, both by David Nixon OBE.
Soloist Martin Bell and Coryphèe Christie Duncan, who were married in 2011, joined the Company in 2003 and 2004 respectively. Martin's many roles included Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons and Captain Hook in Peter Pan. Christie roles included Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Clara in The Nutcracker and Nurse in Romeo & Juliet.
As the Company reconvenes in late July after the summer break it will comprise a total of 42 dancers. This is the largest the Company will have ever been. The increase is size is due in part to the departure of higher paid dancers at the top end of the Company allowing for more employment at the lower end; the introduction of short term contracts and the successful Sponsor a Dancer Campaign that Northern Ballet launched in October 2011 in response to cuts in public funding of the arts. The campaign – which aimed to retain the Company's complement of 40 dancers – has garnered huge support and has raised nearly £150k including pledges since its launch.
David Nixon said, 'As always we are sad to say goodbye to dancers who have been with us for so long and who have been an integral part of Northern Ballet, not just to those who work here but to our audiences all around the country. I would like to thank Georgina, Martin and Christie for all they have done for the Company and wish them every success in the future.
'This year we are in a unique position to welcome ten new dancers and we very much look forward to having them on board. The cuts in public funding remain a challenge so we can no longer offer all dancers long-term contracts but we will continue to work hard to retain a full company and deliver the very high standard of work for which we're known and loved.'
Promotions within the Company include Hannah Bateman to Leading Soloist, Tobias Batley to Premier Dancer, Michela Paolacci and Ashley Dixon to First Soloist, Dreda Blow to Soloist and Isabella Gasparini and Giuilano Contandini to Coryphée. Teresa Saavedra Bordes, Abigail Prudames and Kevin Poeung have become 1st Year Corps. Darren Goldsmith will be dancing in the newly created role of Principal Character Artist. Jessica Morgan, Rachel Gillespie, Ben Mitchell, Thomas Aragones and Graham Kotowich have all moved from 4th Year Corps to 5th Year Corps and Antoinette Brooks-Daw has been promoted from 3rd Year Corps to 4th Year Corps. Joshua Barwick and Matthew Broadbent have both become 2nd Year Corps.

Twins set tentative weekend rotation
Duensing or Pavano will start Sunday's season finale
By Kelly Thesier / MLB.com
DETROIT -- The Twins' pitching rotation has been set for this weekend's series with the Royals, at least temporarily. Manager Ron Gardenhire said on Thursday morning that Jeff Manship will start on Friday night and Nick Blackburn on Saturday, with Brian Duensing scheduled to start on Sunday. But things could change depending on the outcome of Thursday's contest in Detroit, Gardenhire said before the game. If the Twins get to the final day of the regular season with a chance at the playoffs, Carl Pavano is a possibility to start Sunday's finale at the Metrodome. Pavano, who has started on fewer than four days' rest just twice in his career, would be starting on three days' rest, whereas Duensing would be starting that day on his usual rest. And if the Twins are out of contention by Saturday, the team could look to have Blackburn deliver a very short outing and then turn to their relievers the rest of the way. "We're not thinking about that right now," Gardenhire said. "We're thinking about winning today and going the rest of the way."

debraaz1 Posts: 10Dear Car man-
I am in Phoenix,looking for a MKZ hybrid and there are none here, I had to drive a loaded non hybrid .....and liked it.
I took the advise to just establish if I like the car or not and didn't say if I was interested in leasing or buying,
I asked to contact me when one is coming in and they have:
A MKZ hybrid arrived today in white platinum tri coast, camel interior with Navigation and upgraded THX sound, sunroof - I have not seen the sticker -
I asked what they would sell me the car for and they quitted me $1000 over invoice, $38,826. ( Without seeing the sticker).
I asked what the lease or purchase deals would work out to they told me
a 39 month lease would be $5000 down and $487 a month for 39 months( no mileage listed yet)
I emailed back and asked what the residual and money factor is and they said the money factor is 5.25% and the residual is 54%
they quoted a purchase
The sale price is $38,826 TTL with $5,000 cash down at 4.99% you are at 625 a month for 72 months.
Both seem rather high..
I saw your numbers and haven't a clue how to figure a lease out with money factor and residual, with the cost I have at 41000 over invoice, what should the lease work out to, I do not want to put $5000 down on a lease.
Are the leases I see on the ads on TV valid for the hybrid- I really need help car man
">I have no idea what i am doing!!!
mike_in_nepa Posts: 16I am disappointed if those are truly the correct money factor (0.00219) and residual (54%). What was the terms? 27, 36, 42, etc.. months? Still, those numbers are depressing.
Hi Debra. $1,000 over invoice doesn't seem unreasonable considering the fact that there aren't many MKZ Hybrids in your area. Ford Credit's base lease rate for this car is 4.75%. Make sure that the dealer uses that lease rate and not 5.25% to calculate your payment.
$5,000 is way too much money to put down when leasing. I always advise consumers not to make any capitalized cost reduction on leased vehicles. If they do they risk losing any money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen.
I'd be happy to work up a payment on this car for you, but I need both its MSRP and its selling price to do so (you only mentioned the former).
Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

10sfan Posts: 136Hi Car Man, sitting a a lease proposal for a 2011 FWD MKZ. MSRP $35,675, selling price $34,050, with cash due at signing is after the $3,500 cash back program (subject to state sales tax). 36 month term for $399.00 per month.
In addition to the above tax, a tire tax, title and service fees, a $440 Security Deposit fee was removed when I mentioned it was not in the Lincoln Red Carpet Lease advertisement. Now a $595.00 acquisition fee was included, also not stated in the Linclon Red Carpet Lease advertisement.
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Hi 10sfan. Ford Credit charges a $595 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. The dealer won't be able to waive this fee. You can either pay it at lease signing or roll it into our vehicle's capitalized cost to make it part of your monthly payment.
The selling price that you were quoted looks good. It's probably only around a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice, after as you mentioned the $3,500 cash incentive is taken into account.

Are the numbers for 39 month, 15k/year on '13 MKZ FWD 2.0 Ecoboost out yet? Thanks.
Yes they are coleblooded. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2013 Lincoln MKZ Non-Hybrid FWD with 15,000 miles per year are 2.25% and 50%.

thefordguru Posts: 5It'll take some time. I lease a 12 MKZ and I also work for a Lincoln dealer. I traded out of my 11 to my 12 just so I could wait it put until the lease improves. When the new model year launches for anything you'll pay top dollar to drive one. You still have renewal rebates but its better to wait 6 months or so after launch until the programs improve. I've seen the new model and its a whole lot more vehicle than the current model. I do expect to pay more for the new one considering but I won't pay the premiums you'll have to pay the first quarter or two that they're out. Hope that helps.
Yea I know. Already negotiated to a reasonable amount under sticker. I'm starting to hate my dealer's service department, so it'll be a huge relief to get rid of my current car.
rosenbj1 Posts: 20Hi Car_man,
I'm looking for the current numbers for leasing a 2013 MKZ. I'd like to know money factor and residual for 36mo, 36k, but if there is a better deal with 39mo I'd be willing to sign up as well. Any current rebates? Also, are the numbers here different for the gas model vs the hybrid, even though stickers are the same? Thanks for your help!
nighthawkn117 Posts: 7Hi Car_man,
I'm also interested in 2013 lease rates for the MKZ. Looking for 36 - 39 Months. 15K miles and 19500.
Looking for 3.7 AWD.
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Hi nighthawkn117. Ford Credit's February base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 MKZ AWD with 15,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 54%.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 39-month lease are 1.25% and 52%.

Hope you are doing well. Could you please post the MF and Residual for the 2013 Lincoln MKZ(non-hybrid)? If you could post the numbers for the 24 and 36 month lease with 10k miles per year. I would appreciate it. Also, any lease cash or trunk money availble on the vehicle yet?
I'm doing very well thanks ajpbf7. Ford Credit's April base lease rate and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 MKZ with 10,000 miles per year are 0.25% and 64%. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are 0.25% and 55%.
There really isn't much in the way of cash incentives on the redesigned MKZ yet.

jberardi Posts: 4Great intel, Car_man, thanks.
Can you please tell me mf/residual for a 39mo lease at 12K and 15K mileage? I would ask same for 36 months, but I presume that 39 will offer the better deal. Is that a fair assumption?
I had my 2011 MKX serviced the other day and started talking to the sales guys about the MKZ. They're telling me that there's equity in my MKX, but haven't shown a number yet. Is there a general calculation that I can apply? I'm in month 16 of 39 and have 16,000 miles with 39K alotted. No damage.
Thanks, JB
Thanks and you're welcome jberardi.
Ford Credit's April base lease rate and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2013 Lincoln MKZ 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are 0.5% and 51% respectively.
The residual value for a lease with 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.
You're right, the 39-month term would likely result in a slightly lower monthly payment than the 36-month term.
I'd be surprised if you could get out of an MKX 16 months into a 39 month lease without having to pay anything, but stranger things have happened. Just make sure that the dealer isn't burying any costs in your MKZ lease.

shellz Posts: 43Hello Car_Man,
Do you know what the May interest rate and residual are for the MKZ Hybrid w/ Preferred package are? I'm looking at 36 months and 12,000 miles a year. I am in Texas if that matters.
Thanks in advance!
Sure shellz. Ford Credit's May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 MKZ Hybrid with 12,000 miles per year in Texas are 4.0% and 60%.
Lincoln is waiving the first month's payment on leases of this car right now.

That doesn't seem like very aggressive lease rates.
I looked up the pricing on a website and it looks like they are selling for around $900 OVER invoice in my area. In that case, then the capitalized cost is not that great either.
Are there some other lease incentives in the MKZ or are there much better lease deals for May on some competing cars?
36087 Capitalized Cost.
3 years, 36,000 miles.
$0 cap reduction.
What should the drive off costs, return costs and monthly payments be in California based on these numbers?
shellz Posts: 43Compared to the competing hybrids, the rates don't look terrible to me. I'm pretty sure the rate is the same on a Fusion Hybrid and an Avalon hybrid -- about 4%. Looks like the residuals on both of those cars is also between 58-60%. My thinking is just to wait and see--these are all new cars so the manufacturers don't need to be aggressive. But I would think that with gas prices being relatively low, they might start to incentivize the hybrids in the next couple of months.
They don't look "terrible," but there is nothing aggressive about it.
4% sounds low compared what someone might have paid years ago, but today's interest rates are very low in general. I can finance for under 2% at my credit union. There is no amazing discount from MSRP and there is no unusually high residual. This all adds up to a very so-so lease that is not compelling at all.
They must be in short supply. They are not trying very hard to push leases on this vehicle.
While Lexus is slowly introducing more support on the MKZ, since it was just recently redesigned they are trying to hold off on any aggressive offers for as long as possible.

magician2166 Posts: 10Lincoln has a terrible customer service. I had ordered my 2013 Lincoln MKZ in October 2012. I was among the first ones who did so. They informed me in April 2013 after waiting 6 months due to the production delays that they cancelled my order by mistake. Imagine that. They ordered another vehicle for me and offered $900.00 incentive for their mistake. I waited another 8 weeks to find out that my car was damaged in transit and needs repairs. My repeated attempts to find out from my dealership and Lincoln Customer Service when finally I will be getting the car did not bring any results. I walked away from this joke on June 7th. 2013 after waiting 8 months and never got the car. Meet a new Lincoln Luxury.
I want people to know that Lincoln's ignorance and total disregard do not translate into extra they charge. If people are willing to go with Lincoln, they should understand that they will not get Lexus or Audi type service. They will not get it, period.

So I succumb easily to motion sickness produced by video games. Being mainly a PC gamer this is my bane. Back in the days of college I was unable to play Half-life or Descent for long because they made me sick. This was way before I knew about FOV and its effects.
Fast forward to today where I fully understand how FOV works, why its different across games, and how to fix it (most of the time). I picked up Dishonored this week and after about an hour of gameplay it hits me like a ton of bricks! I had to lie down and pretty much clench my eyes shut and hold on until the nausea subsided.
So my rant is this; I know games are ported to to a fro from consoles but if a game developer makes so I essentially have to edit so .ini to change the FOV is utterly stupid. How hard is to put a slider in the settings? Why do I as a consumer have to go hunt down what .ini I have to edit and enter the value for FOV? And every game is different.
Better yet the easy solution is for every game developer that is going to make a PC port is to set the FOV high! Dang it!

Snap Judgments from the Week 7 late slate. For more content, check out our coverage of Texas-Oklahoma, Oregon-Washington, Michigan-Penn State, Missouri-Georgia and our early and midday Snaps.
• Utah 27, No. 5 Stanford 21: The Pac-12 may have been weak at the bottom in years past, but that's not the case anymore. Utah, which had never beaten a top-five opponent at home in program history and gave UCLA a scare last Thursday, toppled a shaky No. 5 Stanford team that couldn't get things going on offense. The Cardinal frequently stalled and struggled to make big plays as the Utes took a halftime lead and never looked back, winning 27-21.
Over the past season-plus, Stanford has often resembled a machine on both sides of the ball, with powerful linebackers, a tough secondary and a dominant offensive line repeatedly wearing down opponents. The Cardinal have talent all over the field and outlasted a tough Washington team in Palo Alto last Saturday.
This week's game against Utah was never a gimme, but plenty of viewers weren't paying attention (or couldn't watch the game on Pac-12 Network) as Penn State and Michigan failed their way to four overtimes on ESPN. The assumption was always that Stanford would pull it together and win, something it has done with regularity under former coach Jim Harbaugh and current headman David Shaw.
The Cardinal almost did; with less than two minutes to play, Stanford was deep in Utah territory trailing by six points. Quarterback Kevin Hogan had two chances to get two yards for a first down or put the ball in the end zone, but his first pass fell incomplete, and his second pass sailed through the back of the end zone and had no chance of being caught.
This was the most vulnerable Stanford has looked in a long time, and that's partially a credit to Utah and offensive coordinator Dennis Erickson, who used a mixture of looks and different tempos to keep the Cardinal off balance. It was clear Stanford was uncomfortable on both sides of the ball, and it wasn't just a matter of the team playing an imperfect game. The Cardinal never woke up for long enough to take control, and the Utes, behind 89 total yards and two scores by Dres Anderson, successfully completed the upset.
The Pac-12 is quickly becoming a league in which it might just be impossible to escape a season undefeated. Oregon was impressive in its 45-24 win over Washington on Saturday, but the Ducks still have to play UCLA and at Stanford. The Bruins have Stanford and Washington left, in addition to the game in Eugene. And the rest of the teams, including Utah, Arizona State and a rejuvenated USC under interim coach Ed Orgeron, could sneak up on anybody on a given week.
This isn't a gimmicky league; it's a power conference with varied offensive and defensive looks and a lot of bright football minds. Winning it is going to take a marathon effort, no matter how many sprinters are on a particular team. [RECAP l BOX]
• No. 1 Alabama 48, Kentucky 7: The outcome was never in doubt, but the Crimson Tide certainly got off to a slow start against the Wildcats on Saturday. This was a scoreless game until Cade Foster converted a 25-yard field goal early in the second quarter, and whether Alabama was disinterested or Kentucky just got up for the challenge early (probably a little bit of both), this can't be a proper execution of Nick Saban's process.
The Tide eventually rushed for 299 and five scores, and both T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake surpassed the 100-yard mark. Mark Stoops' team is going to continue to take its lumps until his recruits arrive, but the Wildcats can take a bit of solace in the fact they played toe to toe with 'Bama for nearly 20 minutes. [RECAP l BOX]
• No. 9 Texas A&M 41, Ole Miss 38: Punch for punch, this one was fun for pretty much the entire game. The combination of quarterbacks Bo Wallace and Barry Brunetti for the Rebels was almost enough to negate the performance of Johnny Manziel, who continues to extend plays and make exciting things happen. Manziel finished 31-of-39 for 346 yards with one interception, but he added 122 rushing yards and two touchdowns, including a six-yard run with 3:41 remaining that tied the game at 38. After forcing a quick punt, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner led the Aggies down to field goal range, and Josh Lambo gave Texas A&M the win.
Ole Miss was in a battle and did not come out without incident. Star freshman Robert Nkemdiche went out with a hamstring injury chasing down Manziel early in the game, and junior linebacker Serderius Bryant had a scary collision with the Aggies quarterback and was down on the field motionless before having the stretcher brought out. (He would later give a double thumbs up.)[RECAP BOX]

Tis Battered Hands That Hoist the Cup
By Rich Lindbloom
Are you all ready for this?
It's been quite a while since the Hawks have faced must-win situations. Escaping the regular season relatively unscathed, the Hawks have embarked on a quest for one of sport's greatest trophies.
The symbolism the Stanley Cup embodies is one of self-sacrifice – leaving it all on the line – there is no other way. It's victors are toothless warriors, who limp to the finish line. Not exactly Gettysburg, but close. Continue reading »

hello, everyone
So, I've recently created a new character to fit into the Potterverse. I am not sure I am doing it right, though, so I would really appreciate some feedback on the character itself. So here it goes:
Hello stranger, my name is Corinne Elaine Lerwick. I dont really know how people do this write-to-an-anonymous-pen-pale kind of thing, but I figured I could give it a try, lifes not been too easy lately and I need someone who doesnt know me.
To start off with, I guess you need to know about my story, so here it goes:
Back in the past I was known as Corinne Elaine Granger; I was the second daughter of Jeane and Bill Granger. My family only consists of Jean, Bill and my older sister Hermione, were not a big family but its a nice family. So I grew up in a muggle world, but ever since I can remember Ive been able to alter the way I look at my own will, minor things at first. Mum said that when I was only a baby, I would make my hair change colours, she also said it startled her at first, but she eventually grew accustomed to it, plus it made me real happy. The first look on my parents faces was priceless. Most of the times when we went out, she covered my head with a hat so people couldnt see how my hair changed, I suppose it would have scared the muggle community.
Anyway, I was 11 years old when a letter came to me. It was from Hogwarts-the school I currently study at- and it said that I was a witch, at that moment my parents werent really surprised because Hermione had gotten it a year before, although it explained why I could change my hair colour. My parents were extremely proud of me and also quite excited, I was quite happy too because I was going to the same school Hermione was attending, and I love my sister and did quite miss her when she was gone.
Getting into the whole experience of getting ready for Hogwarts was very interesting, although not as hard as it was for Hermione. Since my sister had already gone through it, she knew exactly where to buy everything I needed. We went to Diagon Alley and I was at totally awe by the magic it irradiated. We were in a place called Flourish and Blotts when I first met Harry Potter. I didnt grow up with his story, neither did Hermione, the difference was Hermione did serious research when she found out she was a witch, while I only had to sit down and listen to her talking about it. So she introduced me to Harry, he smiled warmly and shook my hand. I couldnt help to notice his scar, and felt the intense need to touch it, although I didnt. It was probably going to upset him or something. Afterwards, she introduced me to her other best friend, one she had been talking a lot about, his name was Ron Weasley. He smiled too, but a bit awkwardly, and shook my hand just as Harry did. He was a fun person, or that was the idea I had gotten from Hermiones adventures last year. After meeting Ron, Hermione also introduced me to the whole Weasley family, and quite honestly I really liked them. Mrs. Weasley-Rons mother-was so kind and warm it reminded me much of our own mother, she even made me call her Molly and not Mrs. Weasley, then there was Mr. Weasley-Rons father- who was also really nice and extremely fascinated with the whole muggle world, he-too-made me call him Arthur. Following them, I met Ginny; she was Rons youngest sister. It was Ginnys first year at Hogwarts as well, and she was just as nervous and excited. As we searched for our school supplies together, we soon became good acquaintance, further on through the years Ginny became one of my best friends. Finally I met the twins, and I absolutely fell in love with them, probably not in the romantic way, but they were extremely cool. They, too, became really close to me.
On that very same afternoon before getting into the Hogwarts express, I met the vilest human being; his name was Draco Malfoy. He stopped us just before leaving Flourish and Blotts, he spoke to Harry with disdain, and then another man came in, he looked very much like Malfoy, so he was most likely his father.
He talked really badly of the Weasley family and our parents. I didnt like the man either, but he was probably more civil than his son.
At that time, the elder Malfoy took a long look at me, as if he was trying hard to remember who I was. It was entirely illogical and quite unnerving, because it was clear we had never met before, but he still seemed like he thought hed seen me before-which was unlikely.
Once at Hogwarts, the sorting hat decided that I belonged in Slytherin. I could see from my sitting place that Hermione looked concerned, while Ginny looked disappointed. I was hoping that I got into the same house as Ginny, and it got slightly worse when I caught a glimpse of silvery blonde among the students sitting at the Slytherin table. It sucked that I was going to have to share it with him.
Through the years I did make some friends inside the Slytherin house, it was difficult because many were fill with prejudices against muggle-born people-like me-but I got through. One of the closest friends I got from inside the house was Astoria Greengrass, Melody Downkork, Matthew Revenue, and Lisa and John Cropper (non-identical twins); they were really nice. As for Malfoy, I cant say I got used to him through the years, if anything, I came to hate him even more than before. He only knew how to insult my sister and me, and let me tell you I can handle insults that are directed to me but no one messes with my family or my friends. This has led Malfoy and myself to fight a lot, and quite constantly as well. Even so, sometimes his words hurt me more than I want them to, sometimes Id like him to like me, its a weird feeling; love-hate kind of thing. Its complicated when it comes to Malfoy. Hes a confusing person.
Also, it was at Hogwarts where I finally learned why I could change my hair colour. Turns out I am a metamorphmagus, and that means I have the ability to change my physical appearance at will. I probably shouldnt be saying this, but it comes in handy and I do tend to use it often.
Now, I suppose you might be confused about why my real surname is Lerwick. This is the thing: my lifes been a lie. My biological parents are not the Grangers, and Hermione is in no way related to me. I have no brothers or sisters, and my parents are Mildred and York Lerwick, Death Eaters. I havent met them; I dont feel the courage to. A part of me wants to know them, to know why they gave me up, it makes me question if they ever even loved me, but the other part of me feels angry that they didnt want me to grow up with them, guilty because it was the Grangers who took care of me. It was a whole lot of new emotions.
After that, the teachers started calling me Miss Lerwick, not Miss Granger anymore, and even Malfoy started being nicer to me. That made me hate him even more, because he was so fed up into his own prejudices that he changed his attitude towards me just because I was not a mudblood, I was a pureblood. It was beyond ridiculous! Can you imagine that? He was just nicer (and just a bit nicer) because I was a pureblood! Its bullocks!
Moving on, Im still searching for more of my past. Up until now, I just know that my parents are both Death Eaters, and that Mrs. And Mr. Malfoy are my godparents.
I shall keep on writing to you if I find anything else.
So what do you guys think? I would really appreciate some help here, please?? D:

There is a right way to make sangria. It usually involves a dozen or more ingredients and plenty of time.
But when Im in the mood for something boozy and fruity often as Im about to slap something on the grill taking the time to do it right is an approach that just doesnt work for me. Because doing it right generally means slicing and chopping plenty of fresh fruit, then sitting around patiently for an hour (some recipes say a day) while the flavors meld.
So over the years I have perfected the wrong way to make sangria, a recipe that makes a deliciously refreshing fruity-winey cocktail by the glass in about two minutes.
And sometimes even that is too much for me. Sometimes I simply fill a glass with red wine, add a tablespoon of sugar, a splash of lime juice and a few ice cubes and call it good. But for those days when youre willing to do just a bit more, here are my recipes for red and white Wrong-Way Sangria.
With either recipe, if youd like to cut the sugar a bit, a packet of stevia sweetener works fine.
One note about wine quality: Because this is a by-the-glass recipe, I usually just use whatever wine I happen to have open. And lets be honest ... I dont generally have $100 bottles kicking around.
But if you are buying wine specifically for this, follow the same rule as you would for cooking with wine neither too expensive nor too cheap. Im usually pretty happy with bottles in the $9 to $14 range. Also, a number of retailers have caught on to the success of Trader Joes Two Buck Chuck (decent wine it sells for a few dollars a bottle). Those work quite nicely for these drinks.

If you hear them throughout the season on 1530 he wont answer most of the questions,seems to smart off every chance he gets. His behavior is just bizarre.

The government has been shut down for just over 12 hours, with thousands of government employees on non-paid leave until Congress and the President can come to an agreement on a spending bill. Approximately 800,000 non-essential government employees were furloughed. Among those on non-paid leave are almost 3,000 who work on Native American issues throughout Indian country.
RELATED: Government Shutdown Frustrates Tribal Leaders
At the U.S. Department of the Interior, 2,860 of the 8,143 employees focused on Indian affairs will be laid off during this shutdown. At the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the following programs will be halted, according to the DOI.gov/shutdown website: management and protection of trust assets such as lease compliance and real estate transactions; federal oversight on environmental assessments, archeological clearances, and endangered species compliance; management of oil and gas leasing and compliance; timber harvest and other natural resource management operations; tribal government related activities; payment of financial assistance to needy individuals, and to vendors providing foster care and residential care for children and adults; and disbursement of tribal funds for tribal operations including responding to tribal government request.
The situation is less dire at Interior than it was during shutdowns in the 1990s, Interior officials said, because they have since implemented a forward-funding plan in the areas of education and transportation, which will keep the employees in those areas working. There is also a comparatively larger law enforcement staff that will remain on duty through the shutdown, and power and irrigation employees will be able to continue working to deliver power and water to tribal communities because their salaries are generated from collections, not appropriated funds.
Employees at the Indian Health Service (IHS), which provides direct health service to tribal citizens, will be largely unaffected by the shutdown. Under Department of Health and Service's shutdown plan, IHS will continue to provide direct clinical health care services as well as referrals for contracted services that cannot be provided through IHS clinics. On the negative side, "IHS would be unable to provide funding to Tribes and Urban Indian health programs, and would not perform national policy development and issuance, oversight, and other functions, except those necessary to meet the immediate needs of the patients, medical staff, and medical facilities," according to a plan released by the agency.

Media companies use SAS® data visualization to draw insights from audience data
Audience intelligence helps media companies uncover viewer insights that can be used to optimize business decisions across the enterprise
One of the most valuable resources media companies have is audience data. Analyzing audience data provides myriad business benefits across marketing, programming, advertising and operations. And when cable, satellite and content providers apply SAS® Visual Analytics to real-time audience data, they equip a wide range of users to unearth customer insights in just seconds – insights that improve leverage in carriage negotiations, boost ARPU (average revenue per user), increase ROI (return on investment) on ad dollars, and informs packaging and programming decisions.
"Media companies have barely scraped the surface of what can be achieved by applying sophisticated analytics to audience data," said Debbie Mayville, Senior Solutions Architect at SAS. "Many are deterred by the sheer volume of audience data - big data - often located in disparate silos. But neither volume nor location is a hindrance for SAS. Using a single data management environment that includes analytics, decision management and reporting, SAS helps media companies access clean, trusted return-path data, regardless of platform or location. SAS even integrates data from other sources such as social media data, billing, accounts and third-party providers."
Lacking predictive analytics for audience profiling, many companies fall back on simple business rules that produce inaccurate audience characteristics. For instance, decisions based on population sampling .are less accurate than those using full viewership data. SAS handles full-census audience viewership, applying predictive analytics to capitalize on audience behavior in the moment to improve video on demand (VOD) offer uptake and engagement.
Media companies can use SAS forecasting to predict audience composition across multiple levels such as network, show, timeslot, etc. Predictive modeling can identify customers most likely to watch a new show or ad, and optimize marketing and advertising spending to increase ROI.
SAS can determine relevant actions to be targeted to individual customers, optimizing interactions based on constraints, budget, and capacity. In-the-moment or off-line actions can be made for marketing, programming, customer experience, or advertising decisions.
"Recently, one provider of movie and on-demand content used SAS to increase revenues by providing accurate recommendations to customers based on their viewing behavior and customer profile," said Mayville. "Using return- path data, SAS Analytics boosted the speed, accuracy and personalization of the recommendation engine. That means relevant offers – including price, promotion, product and location – were quickly tailored to predicted preferences."
SAS Visual Analytics is a high-performance, in-memory solution, designed to explore large amounts of data instantly and present the results visually.
The Cable Show 2013 begins June 10, 2013, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Visit SAS at Booth 1613.

Marketing with Digital Video, Hal LandenOak Tree Press, 2005, $19.95
It's not too often that a book written for the absolute beginner in a subject also turns out to be a useful text for the seasoned professional, but VideoUniversity.com creator and director Hal Landen pulls off this trick with the second edition of Marketing with Digital Video.
This small paperback is aimed primarily at the business owner or manager who wants to produce a video for his business, and would like to do some or all of the work herself. Or perhaps she is unable to hire a professional producer because of budget limitations and has to do a lot of the work herself.
Because his target audience knows little or nothing about video, Landen starts with the basics, and describes the steps in the production process in rich detail and in plain language.
He also takes some pains to describe the huge changes that have taken place in the low-budget video world in the last decade, particularly the advent of the DV format and the computer-based nonlinear editing system. These are the changes that allow the newcomer to the field a fighting chance to produce a successful video on a shoestring budget, and Landen demystifies them by cutting through the jargon and the marketing hype to explain the hows and whys in ways that anyone can understand.
Perhaps most importantly, the book doesn't get lost in technical details. It emphasizes the basics, starting with the importance of a good script, and some techniques to use to write one. In fact, Landen gives great weight to the entire preproduction process; six of the book's 12 chapters are focused on this area. In my view, this is the right mix, since the preproduction phase will affect the final outcome more than any other part of the process. Most importantly, it is the phase in which the least amount of money is spent, but which will have the greatest effect on the overall cost of the finished product.
True to its title, the book focuses on the production of a marketing video, and discusses various outlets for such projects such as their use by sales personnel, at trade shows and conventions, on cable television, on the Web, and distributed on CD-ROM or DVD. However, it also touches on other forms of corporate video, such as training videos for employees or customers, or the corporate "family history" video.
So, how is a book intended for the non-video savvy reader useful for those of us who have been doing videos for years? In four ways: First, it's a great introduction to corporate video for the wedding and event videographer looking to expand her horizons. It's easy to "read between the lines" and see what would be important to a potential corporate client. Second, since the book stresses the need to hire a professional camera operator to do the actual shooting, it gives the videographer looking for this sort of work a good idea of what fledgling producers will need in a Director of Photography. Third, it's an excellent refresher for the experienced corporate producer who may need to step back from the day-to-day details and take a look at the Big Picture. There was a lot in here that was familiar to me, but I also found lots of tips and angles that I hadn't considered. And finally, you may want to give a copy to your new clients to bring them up to speed on the whole process of creating a video.
Landen is well-qualified to write this book; he's worked as a professional cameraman in broadcast and corporate video, and is a successful independent producer. He's also been responsible for teaching the ropes to hundreds of other producers through his books, courses, and Web site at www.videouniversity.com. Put a copy on your bookshelf!

Courts examine the "negative corpus" amendments to NFPA 921 and process of elimination in considering the admissibility of fire experts' opinions
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
For many years, it was accepted practice for a fire investigator, having eliminated accidental or natural causes of a fire, to conclude, without specific physical evidence, that the fire must have been caused by human agency, i.e., arson. In product liability cases, investigators would conclude that an appliance must have been defective, as no other cause of fire could be identified. Courts routinely accepted such opinion evidence in criminal and civil cases. This method of fire cause determination was referred to as "negative corpus" because it was akin to a conclusion that murder had occurred even though no body had been found.

This week's article from the past is titled Incendiary Fires Can Be Spotted and was written by Benjamin Horton, CPCU, who was President of the National Adjuster Traing School in Louisville, Kentucky.. It is taken from the Decembe 1968 Vol. XVI No.5 issue.
Incendiary Fires Can Be Spotted
In the new issue of NFPA Journal®, President Jim Shannon said the Association will focus on the leading causes of home fires, including cooking. "We also need to continue to push hard for home fire sprinklers. That's still a large priority for NFPA, and we plan to work very aggressively in 2014 on our residential sprinkler initiative," he said.

NFPA 921, Guide for Fire and Explosion Investigations plays a fundamental role in fire and explosion investigations. A new edition of NFPA 921 is scheduled to be published in 2014. For years, this document has played a critical role in the training, education and job performance of fire and explosion investigators. It also serves as one of the primary references used by the National Fire Academy to support its fire/arson-related training and education programs. It is imperative that investigators understand the scope, purpose and application of this document, especially since it will be used to judge the quality and thoroughness of their investigations.
SAN DIEGO - A Team 10 and Scripps News investigation found arson fires are not investigated properly in many American cities -- including San Diego -- due to a chaotic patchwork of reporting systems and standards.
Many deliberately set building fires are not reported to the federal government.
Nationally, just 5 percent of all residential building fires are intentionally set, according to the National Fire Incident Reporting System, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Data collected by Scripps News suggests the national arson rate to be significantly higher.

Two experimental fires, with contrasting intensities, were conducted in March 2016, in the Pinelands National Reserve (PNR) of New Jersey, United States in order to provide a preliminary assessment of the reliability of the fire direction indicators used in wildland fire investigation. The experiments were part of a larger project intended to measure firebrand production in a forested ecosystem. As part of this project, fire behavior, as well as the environmental and fuel conditions were also measured. Two burn parcels, covering an area of approximately 30 hectares each, were ignited from unimproved forest roads which delimited them. The forest canopy was comprised primarily of pitch pine with intermittent oaks. The understory contained a mixed shrub layer of huckleberry, blueberry, and scrub oaks. In order to explore a wide range of indicators, objects such as bottles, cans and small fence elements were planted in the burn area, and photographed before and after the fire. To obtain an accurate measure of pre- and post-fire fuel properties, fuel load, fuel bulk density, and fuel moisture content were also measured. In addition, environmental data (wind velocity and direction, air temperature and humidity) were recorded. The fire behavior can be reconstructed using measurements of fire rate of spread, fire front temperatures, fire front geometry, and heat fluxes. Video and infrared cameras were used to document the general fire behavior in selected locations. This paper represents the first step in the analysis of the fire indicators and focuses on the more intense of the two burns and on the appearance of the macro- and microscale fire pattern indicators. A majority of the indicators were assessed, although the configuration of the burn parcels, the ignition technique, and precipitation immediately following the fires limited a full study. The results show that some fire direction indicators are highly dependent on local fire conditions and fire behavior and may be in contradiction with the general spread of the fire. Overall, this study demonstrates that fire pattern indicators are a useful tool but must be interpreted in the frame of a general analysis of the fire, combined with a good understanding of fire behavior and fire dynamics.

text: Hey all, So I was doing a very in-depth comparison last night between my Speedport Black and the new Head Extreme Pro 2 that I purchased last week. The Head is by far and away the better volleying racquet. It's not even close. And i'll even give it the edge on two handed backhand. However, when it comes to Serves and forehands, the Black absolutely can't be touched in terms of the pace i'm putting on the ball. My friend even commented how he can't handle my forehands at the net from the SPB. No matter how hard I hit with the Head, I cannot generate the same amount of power on my forehead. It's like the SPB is a turbo-powered, trampoline launching machine. Now, i'm thinking in my head that it's going to be impossible to make the Head generate the same pace on the forehand/serve while maintaining the other qualities I like. However, I could be wrong. Could it be as simple as dropping tension on the poly I use another couple of pounds? Can anyone comment on on experiencing something like this with different racquets and what you did, if anything? Thanks, Matt

Topic: forwarding issue
In IredAdmin Pro 1.3 I have created one domain (domain1.com) and added alias domain (domain2.com). Then I created a mailbox firstname.lastname@example.com and created forward from that mailbox to email@example.com. So now, when I send mail to email@example.com "forward" works fine, but if I send mail to email@example.com when "forward" doesn't work. Also, I tried to add a filter (which should work similar to "forward") via roundcube webmail, but it doesn't work too when I send mail to email@example.com. Please, help as soon as possible. Thanx.
