Juliet Simms, Chris Mann and RaeLynn -- Former Competitive Artists from the Last Cycle of "The Voice" - Also Will Return to Sing on December 11; Top Four Artists from Current Cycle Will Be Paired to Perform Duets on Same Show
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - November 29, 2012 - NBC's "The Voice" will deck the halls in early December with several popular singing stars - including NE-YO, Matchbox Twenty and Michael Bublé - as well as fan-favorites Juliet Simms (Team CeeLo), Chris Mann (Team Christina) and RaeLynn (Team Blake) from the last cycle of the hit vocal competition series.
On Tuesday, December 4 (8-9 p.m. ET), NE-YO performs "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)" with the artists. In addition, Matchbox Twenty is joined by artists to perform their new hit "Overjoyed."
During the competition episode of "The Voice" on Monday, December 10 (8-10 p.m. ET), Bublé will team with artists for his new song "Christmas, Baby Please Come Home." That same night, musician coach Blake Shelton will be joined by his team for a rendition of "White Christmas."
Then on Tuesday, December 11 (8-9 p.m. ET), three of last season's competitive artists will perform. Mann will sing his new hit "Roads" while Simms will offer her new song "Wild Child" and RaeLynn will perform her own new song in "Boyfriend." In addition, the top four artists from the current cycle will be paired to perform duets on the December 11 show.
As "The Voice" nears its season finale on December 18 when a new champion is crowned, additional vocal guest stars will be named.
The series' musician coaches are Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Shelton.
Three-time Grammy Award-winning singer NE-YO will make his musical guest debut on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" on December 8. The singer-songwriter's latest album "R.E.D" debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Rob Thomas, frontman for Matchbox Twenty, served as musical mentor for team CeeLo during the current cycle of "The Voice." The group's new album is "North," includes the single "Overjoyed."
The multi-Grammy-winning Bublé will host his own original Christmas music/variety special on NBC in "Michael Bublé: Home for the Holidays" on Monday, December 10 (10-11 p.m. ET). He also appeared as a mentor on Shelton's team earlier this season. His multi-platinum album, "Michael Bublé Christmas," was the second-biggest selling album of 2011 with sales that exceeded 6.5 million copies worldwide. His "Crazy Love" CD won two Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for his #1 Bublé-penned single, "Haven't Met You Yet."
Shelton also will host his own holiday music special in "Blake Shelton's Not-So-Family Christmas" on Monday, December 3 (10-11 p.m. ET).
Hot off performing on NBC's "Christmas in Rockefeller Center," Mann continues to warm hearts this holiday season. His recently released full-length debut "Roads" and his "Home for Christmas" EP are simultaneously moving up the iTunes charts, and keeping everyone singing along.
"The Voice" is a presentation of One Three Inc. (a Hearst/Mark Burnett company), Talpa Media USA Inc. and Warner Horizon Television. The series is created by John de Mol, who executive-produces along with Burnett, Audrey Morrissey, Stijn Bakkers and Lee Metzger.

User talk:Harikrishna/Architecture/Data Model
We plan to use PIMO for modeling how the data would be stored in Nepomuk.
Discussions for actual modeling are given below :
Sebastian Trüg says:
I just took a look at the existing ontologies: NOP and [ http://usercontext.opendfki.de/wiki/UserContextOntology Workcontext]. To me it seems that for phase 1 we don't need NOP at all (as it mostly deals with user actions/activities that need to be modelled) and only need a very small portion of Workcontext, if at all.
Like I mentioned in a previous mail IMHO we basically need a Context class and maybe two specializations: ActivityContext and TaskContext. TaskContext would add start and end time to the concept. We could then easily model different contexts. For example a project I am working on would be modelled as a TaskContext which is also a pimo:Project or maybe a subclass the user created himself like pimo:KDEDevelopmentProject. Using this approach we could even stick to one simple Context class and link tasks or projects or whatever to it as something like
"Context definingResource Resource"
this would allow to model stuff like: we have a context "Plasma Context Support" resource which is of type Context. In addition a development project is defined which might have a similar name and a bunch of files and emails and what not related. The project is then related to the context and thus, becomes available for dashboard switches. This would allow to use arbitrary things as contexts without much additional syntax.
I would need input from Sven and Leo here: would the workcontext:UserWorkContext class be a choice here? Or should we create a new, way simpler, ontology.

The PCM has detected a malfunction in the reductant injector air pressure sensor circuit. The reductant injector is used to reduce noxious gases being expelled via the diesel particulate filter (diesel engines) or catalytic converter (gasoline fueled engines, especially turbocharged).
The reductant injector air pressure sensor utilizes sensors in the exhaust system to input voltage readings to the PCM. These voltage readings are typically recognized by the PCM as exhaust gas temperature or pressure (depending upon manufacturer and model). Variations in system voltage that exceed manufacturer's predetermined limitations will cause a code to be stored and possibly a service engine soon lamp to be illuminated. Some models require multiple drive cycles in order for a service engine soon lamp to be illuminated.
Other than excessive black smoke upon acceleration, there will probably be no obvious codes other than an illuminated service engine soon lamp and possibly a stored trouble code.
Loose, broken, burned, or corroded wiring and/or terminals and connectors are the most common cause of this trouble code bring stored. Other causes may include the exhaust gas temperature sensor being shorted internally (or to ground), a faulty sensor, the presence of an aftermarket off road exhaust system that causes a decrease in back pressure, a severe exhaust leak upstream from the exhaust temperature sensor will also cause this code to be stored.
The most common source of mishaps when diagnosing this code comes from mistaken identity. Frequently the oxygen sensor is either mistaken for the exhaust gas temperature sensor or it is believed that the exhaust gas temp sensor is integrated into the heated oxygen sensor. Of course, this is incorrect and replacement of the oxygen sensor/s will not lead to a successful diagnosis.

Nestled Between A Cliff and A Stretch of Water: Cliff House
Waterfront homes capture the idea of living by water, while the modern architecture featuring extensive use of glass will constantly remind you where you are. Architect Scott Allen designed the Cliff House as proof that living in harmony with the surroundings can also ensure you have a comfortable lifestyle. Located in Gig Harbor, Washington, the Cliff House stands with its back against a natural cliff and its front opened to the stretch of calming water. Replacing an old guest house and boathouse, the new contemporary residential construction had to be designed and built in response to the tough terrain.
As explained by Scott Allen Architecture, "the design solution makes the roof of the new structure an extension of the upland lawn, with a glass-enclosed elevator providing access to the two levels below. To the south, an outdoor living space is set between the house and a new boathouse. Stairs lead down to the water and are incorporated into a series of decks, terraces, and bridges that create spaces for living and entertaining. This area also features a wood-burning pizza oven and an outdoor fireplace." Reminiscent of a boat's cabin, the first floor of the house displays Douglas fir ceilings and walls with over-sized windows flooding the interiors with natural light. Four main building materials featured on the facade – copper, concrete, metal window cladding, and cedar – withstand the special conditions, while eco-friendly features like the green roof or sunscreens help cool down the interiors during summer.

Documentary Filmmaker Completes Northwest Passage Trip
Filmmaker Sprague Theobald completed a trip through the Northwest Passage, arriving in Ketchikan, AK, Oct. 27 on a 57-foot Nordhavn power boat, reports the Fairbanks Daily News Miner. Theobald and his crew, which included was his son, Sefton Theobald; master diver Greg Deascentis; and cameraman Ulli Bonnekamp, among others, departed Newport, R. I., on June 16. During the journey, the team was hit by an ice floe that trapped their boat in the ice for days. "It was worth the risk, but I would not do it again," Theobold told Yachting Magazine. "We have yet to talk publicly about the more terrifying moments of the trip." During the voyage, he interviewed Inuit elders, other sailors attempting the passage, politicians, and conservationists as he collected material for a full-length documentary, Braving the Northwest Passage, forthcoming. Learn more about the adventure at his blog.
Arctic Commercial Fishing Limits To Go Into Effect Dec. 3
The Associated Press reports that strict commercial fishing limits in the Arctic will go into effect Dec. 3, following a push from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to develop a plan to regulate commercial fishing in the Arctic in the wake of melting sea ice. The restrictions prohibit industrial fishing in nearly 200,000 square miles of U.S. waters in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas.
Much Arctic Warming Linked To Sea Ice, Cloud Cover Changes

A study published in the Nov., 2009, issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters asserts that much of the dramatic change documented in the Arctic over the past 20 years correlates with changes in sea ice concentration and cloud cover. Lead author Yinghui Liu (Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin) writes that sea ice loss in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in the fall account for significant surface warming. Specifically, the researchers analyze the influence of trends in sea ice concentration and cloud cover on surface temperature in the Arctic from 1982 to 2004. They find that sea ice concentration and cloud cover play a large role in observed temperature trends. For instance, their analysis shows that surface warming associated with sea ice accounts for more than 0.9 degrees Celsius (1.62 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade of the observed 1.1 degrees Celsius (about 2 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade warming trend in autumn. In addition, in winter, cloud cover changes explain 0.91 degrees Celsius (1.64 degrees Fahrenheit) of the 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.16 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade surface temperature cooling, and in spring, 0.55 degrees Celsius (0.99 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade of the total 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degree Fahrenheit) per decade warming is attributable to cloud cover. The authors note that their model provides insight into the causes of recent temperature trends and could be extended to study the influences of other parameters such as sea ice thickness.
Study Links Climate Change to California Drought
U.S. News & World Report publishes a story that the centuries-long droughts experienced by the state of California over the past 20,000 years coincided with thawing Arctic Ice Caps. The research, published online in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters by UC Davis doctoral student Jessica Oster and geology professor Isabel Montanez, present evidence from analysis of stalagmites from Moaning Cavern and Black Chasm in the central Sierra Nevada. The authors compared climate records from Greenland with the climate records from the stalagmites. At the end of the last ice age about 15,000 years ago, California became much drier. When Arctic records indicate a cooling period about 13,000 years ago, the data show California experienced wetter weather. The scientists don't offer an explanation for the relationship between Arctic temperatures and California's precipitation. But the article says that climate models developed by others suggest that "When Arctic sea ice disappears, the jet stream—high-altitude winds with a profound influence on climate—shifts north, moving precipitation away from California."
And Finally...
The Copenhagen Climate Conference is less than a month away (December 6 - 18).

As demand for the Palomino grew, Mr. Landey felt it would benefit his company, Vanguard Ind., to relocate. With most manufacturers and industry suppliers located in the Elkhart, In. area the move eastward seemed logical. Vanguard Industries settled in the community of Colon in 1972. Once in Colon he began to put his plans in motion. By 1973 he had built the main production facility and within days Palomino tent trailers were rolling out the doors.
In 1976, Vanguard added its own Needle Division, in 1978 its own Metal Fabrication Plant, and has several cold storage facilities. On May 27, 1992, the primary production building and offices were destroyed by fire. By late August, 1992, the first 1993 model Palomino rolled of the line in the new 52,300 sq. ft. facility, which was built on the same site as the previous building had been.
The year 1998 continued to see expansion with the addition of a new 75,000 sq. ft. production facility, and another storage facility. In 2002 Vanguard was purchased by Forest River, Inc. This allowed for rapid growth and the introduction of two new towable lines of travel trailers and fifth wheels, Puma and Sabre by Palomino.

FBI investigators still have not been granted permission to visit the consulate building where the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed three weeks ago during an attack by Libyan militants in the eastern city of Benghazi.
An FBI team was dispatched to Libya within days of the attack, but they have been forced to remain in Tripoli as U.S. and Libyan officials argue over the terms under which the two sides will co-operate in the investigation.
Why is there such a undue delay for there FBI to find out exactly what happened?
It would behoove Congress to launch a immediate inquiry who in the White House or in the Obama administration has been stalling this important and overdue investigation.

My Week with Marilyn (2011)
My Week with Marilyn Synopsis
In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of 'The Prince and the Showgirl'. The film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Aurthur Miller (Dougray Scott).
Nearly 40 years on, his diary account The Prince, the Showgirl and Me was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as My Week with Marilyn – this is the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.

THR notes that much like Marilyn, the film will zero in on a brief, six-month stint in Kelly's life where, in 1962, she'd left Hollywood and assumed a political position in Monaco and had to work behind the scenes to avoid a potential coup. With the ball rolling on a Kelly biopic, now we're excited to see who's hired to direct the feature, and who'll be cast in the sure-to-be-coveted leading role.

We've all seen the images by now. In Simon Curtis' My Week With Marilyn, Michelle Williams plays the legendary Marilyn Monroe and by the look of the stills she has nailed the appearance side of things. But what about her physicality? What about the voice? Even though the film is due on shortly, set to bow on November 4th, neither a trailer nor a clip has been released. That is, until today.

The film, directed by Simon Curtis, is set during the filming of 1957's The Prince and the Showgirl where a young assistant named Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) played witness to the famously hostile work environment created between Monroe and Olivier. Forty years after the movie was made, Clark published a book titled "The Prince, the Showgirl and Me," but it left out details about one week of the production.

The number one complaint about the iPad Mini is the lackluster screen.
It's not as sharp as Apple's other products, which have a Retina display making it virtually impossible to see pixels. It's worse even than the screens on cheaper tablets from Amazon and Google.
Apple being Apple, everyone assumes its going to eventually upgrade that screen to a Retina display.
The only real question is when.
Well, there's already a rumor about when we're getting the iPad Mini with a better screen from Chinese site DoNews. It says the Retina iPad Mini will be out in the second half of next year.
That sounds like the iPad Mini will be on an annual upgrade cycle, which makes sense since the iPhone is on an annual upgrade cycle. The normal iPad was on an annual upgrade cycle too, until Apple upgraded it last week.
Anyway, this is the first rumor of a Retina-ready iPad Mini. We'll be on the lookout for more.
If it's true though, there's some solace in buying an iPad Mini this holiday season. It won't be passed by a better iPad Mini for a year.

Blogging & I Have Broken Up
Hello, my friends. I've thought for some time about whether or not I was ready to quit blogging & then it sort of just happened. I've gone back & forth about how I could just quit something that had been such a big part of my life for such a long time. But it happend naturally. Things changed.
Since having Finn, I've found it increasingly more difficult to keep up with the demands & schedules of my family. Time for blogging was pushed out. And that's okay because I've found a replacement...Instagram.
I am completely addicted to & love Instagram with all my heart. It is quick & easy & fits into my busy life perfectly. I still feel the need to photograph & record moments of my day to day & this seems to be the outlet that works best for me & fulfills me at this time. So please come find me over there! I'd love to stay connected with you. My user name is: candacetodd.
The other place on the internet that I love to hang out is Pinterest. I browse & pin there multiple times each day.
Thank you for reading & sharing & supporting me through my blog. It has been a wonderful part of my life. But it's obvious that for me it's time to move on.
Love always,

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has defended her decision to become the face of Israel-based drinks-maker SodaStream following criticism from political activists.
The Avengers star came under fire for aligning herself with the company, which is based in the Middle Eastern state, while maintaining her post as an Oxfam Ambassador. The charity is "opposed to all trade from Israeli settlements" and executives issued a statement revealing they would be talking to Johansson about the SodaStream controversy.
The actress has now spoken out about the criticism, insisting she never intended the partnership to be a comment on the Israel-Palestine conflict, but she is glad to raise awareness of the important issues.
In a statement to the Huffington Post, Johansson says, "I remain a supporter of economic cooperation and social interaction between a democratic Israel and Palestine. SodaStream is a company that is not only committed to the environment but to building a bridge to peace between Israel and Palestine, supporting neighbours working alongside each other, receiving equal pay, equal benefits and equal rights. That is what is happening in their Ma'ale Adumim factory every working day…
"I believe in conscious consumerism and transparency and I trust that the consumer will make their own educated choice that is right for them. I stand behind the SodaStream product and am proud of the work that I have accomplished at Oxfam as an Ambassador for over 8 years. Even though it is a side effect of representing SodaStream, I am happy that light is being shed on this issue in hopes that a greater number of voices will contribute to the conversation of a peaceful two state solution in the near future."

SANTA ANA – A new road connecting Antonio Parkway in south Orange County with the proposed extension of the 241 toll road inched closer to reality Tuesday, after the Board of Supervisors approved passing along $8.3 million to help fund the road's construction.
Cow Camp Road is in the works to ease traffic congestion expected to get worse as Rancho Mission Viejo's 14,000-home development starts to come online with the community of Sendero this summer.
Cow Camp will be the area's main east-west roadway – eventually replacing Ortega Highway in that role – with two lanes in each direction. Cow Camp is expected to connect with Ortega west of the county line.
The initial 1.6-mile leg of Cow Camp Road will connect with the 241, which the Transportation Corridor Agency is working to extend 5.5 miles south from Oso Parkway.
Cow Camp Road's initial leg – including one lane in each direction and a bridge over Chiquita Canyon – is expected to cost $45 million. The $8.3 million approved Tuesday came from Measure M2, a half-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2006. Most of the balance will come from bonds that will be paid back through Mello-Roos districts, in which future residents are charged additional property taxes.
With the county funding in place, Rancho Mission Viejo has committed to put the project out to bid this month, execute a contract by June 30 and start construction soon after. Grading and utility work are complete, with construction of Cow Camp Road's first leg expected to wrap up in mid-2015.

2013 and earlier BMW X5 Lease Questions
edited January 2014 in BMW
Hi everyone. Please use the following discussion to post any questions that you have about leasing a BMW X5. Thanks.
Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
Just got back from the dealer. They told me the following info.
Money factor: .0012
Residual: 54%
I calculated this against the lease special of $459/mo on a $43670 X5 listed on bmwusa.com and came within $10 per month. None of these numbers reflect the $5000 dealer cash I've seen mentioned.
My question is, with the $5000 dealer cash from BMW, how much off MSRP should I be shooting for now? We are looking at an X5 3.0 Auto with Prem, CW, Rear Climate, Xenons and Nav., MSRP $52020.
Also, should I expect to get better discounts if I want to get the X5 and an 06 330i at the same time?
Thanks in advance for the help.0
Morning Car Man,
Looking for money factor and Residual for X5s, both 3.0 and 4.4.
24 and 30 months
Also, want to know if current marketing support can be used with leases.
Thanks in advance.0
Here's how I derived the $459 figure:
Sales price = $39,770 (you pay $2,500 upfront plus they discount the car $1,400)
Residual = 57% ($43,670 X 0.57 = $24,892)
Money factor = 0.0012
Payment is $459.08 plus tax
The residual value is given in the ad (36 mos 10K miles) - I don't know what the money factor is for September but it was 0.00075 in August. Of course BMW dealers are known for bumping up their money factors so I would wait until I know what the officila money factor is.0
Don't know what I was on but when I re-looked at the ad I saw the residual you were looking at. My dealer was knocking 3% off the residual.
I think if you recompute, you'll find that it is both $2500 down and a $2500 discount off MSRP. Using those numbers with 57% res. and .0012 MF I hit $459 to the penny. No other fees included.
At least I know what I'm dealing with now. Thanks drtravel for your insight.
Still, the big question is, what kind of discount should I be looking for overall with the $5000 dealer cash. Looks like edmunds TMV is about $6k off MSRP. If BMW is giving up $5k of that then the dealer is still making 3k over invoice on an end of year car. That seems like a lot since people aren't paying that for 06 330i's.0
Right you are about the second $2,500 off. I also came up with exactly $459. Too much Mountain Dew but at least together we have the math figured out. The invoice for the 43,670 MSRP is 40,030 less 5,000 equals 35,030 - so the dealer is still making $3,640 on the deal.
Think about it this way the dealer is getting $5,000 from BMW but is only discounting the car $2,500 - looks sweet to the dealer. I say you should be able to get the lease deal without putting down any money - that way BMW is actually subsidizing the money factor instead of making the customer pay more upfront to cover their lost interest.0
Here is the real numbers. I was wrong the 2nd time too.
They get the $459/mo figures the following way.
Selling price $37870 ($5000 bmw cash + $800 dealer)
Down pmt. $2500
Residual 57% or $24892 (for 10k/yr, 54% for 15k)
Money Factor .0028 (same as 6.72% interest!!!)
The .0012 lease rate was last month and is now more than double. The dealer I talked with was only willing to add another 475 off to to the numbers above for a total of $6275 off MSRP. A total lease price before TTL of $439/mo. on a X5 3.0 w/auto.
The car we wanted with premium, cw, climate, nav, xenon & sd mirrors with an MSRP of $51370 gives a pmt of $673 w/o TTL using the above numbers. Much different than the $500/mo. the last senario brought me to.
Hope this helps someone, I doubt we'll be buying one at that lease rate.0
I just wish the manufacturers would actually put this info in their ads instead of just touting the the monthly payment. Everything else that is financed has to state their APR, why not leases?
Thanks for the numbers. I agree it doesn't make sense to lease this vehicle.0
jay55 Posts: 1Can anyone let me know what a good lease rate on an X5 3.0 with premium/auto for 24months and 15k/y would be?. And is it better to wait till years end? Also I was told last month was a much better deal and they no longer lease 05's. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone knows of any good 24m/15k leases on a nice car if you can let me know.
Thanks! -Jay0
Here's a deal advertised in the LA Times (Century West BMW)
2005 X5 3.0 - lease for $396 + tax 36mo/30K
MSRP of $45,020, selling price of $37,532 ($7,488 of MSRP), cap reduction of $3,000 so total cap cost is $34,532
Using 57% residual and 0.0028 money factor I come up with a payment of $414.95. Not sure how they calculated the $396. Total drive off is $5,168 whcih includes $3,000 cap reduction, $450 security deposit, $625 acquistion, $396 first month payment and $697 of something else - maybe additional cap reduction?0
It has to be additional cap reduction.
With the additional $697 it comes to $394/mo according to my calculations. I got the same $415 as you did without that. Strange they would mention the selling cost and the 3000 down pmt, but not put the 697 anywhere in the ad. If they are expecting the purchaser to put the additional money down they have to call out what it is, don't they? Other wise it looks like the same 36mo, 10k/yr lease that I was talking about.
Even with $7488 off, the money factor of .0028 (or 6.7% interest) is killing any chance of me leasing an X5. But since the local dealers have an average of about 5-7 05's on the lot right now, they are not worried about it.0
Try it again using the money factor of .0025
I think that is the correct money factor...

suv800 Posts: 41Yes, the price will come down back to the August price in October for 2006 BWM X5 4.4, And, the prices will be under $600 if tax upfront, 15k per yr.
The new rate for October is came from internal memo of BMW Usa. Hopefully every one will have what they want.
Hi tpjcourtney. When BMW introduced the dealer cash that is is now providing on the 2005 X5 it cut way back on its lease money factor support. Its September buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of any '05 X5 model through BMW FS should be .00250. Make sure to take the $5,000 dealer cash that BMW is providing on the '05 X5 3.0i and $6,500 that it has on the '05 X5 4.4i this month into account when you are negotiating your vehicle's capitalized cost. If you are good at negotiating you will get a dealer's rock bottom price for the vehicle that you want, regardless of whether you buy one or two at a time. If their selling prices are already as low as they are going to do, there's no reason for a dealer to sell you a vehicle at a loss or at least for less than they could get by selling it to another individual just because you are buying two.

Here's the information that you are looking for, peachtree103. If you were to lease a 2005 BMW X5 3.0 or 4.4 (their lease programs are the same) through BMW Financial Services right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00250 and 59%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 30 month lease should be .00250 and 55%. Yes, the aforementioned dealer cash can be used to reduce the capitalized costs of vehicles leased through BMW FS.

Hi Jay. We are already at the end of the 2005 model year. You will have to wait until at least October for the 2006 X5 to be as cheap to lease as the 2005 model currently is. Of course, it is difficult to tell what manufacturers will do with their future incentives with 100% accuracy. You should be able to get a good idea of what BMW's current lease program and dealer cash are on the truck that you are interested in by reading my previous two posts. If you provide me with a full MSRP (with the destination charge added in) and selling price for the exact truck that you are interested in, I would be happy to calculate a sample lease payment on it for you.

Thanks Car_Man. I like the new format.0
MSRP of $43,670 (Invoice is $35,030)
Cap cost is 35940 ($2,500 down + $5,000 incentive + $230 off)
57% residual
money factor of 0.0025
payment is $458.97 + tax
dealer is still making $3,410 on the car - seems high0
Usually, the BMW advertised lease specials assume a $1000 discount from MSRP, in addition to any dealer incentives..
I haven't reverse-engineered the payment from the ad, but I do notice that the cap cost includes the acquisition fee of $625, so the discount you calculated would be at least $625 more.

thetaxman Posts: 4Hello Car man, some current info for you quoted to me today on a 2006 3.0 X-5 with options bringing the MSRP to $51,970. Money Factor of .00200, residual of 54% on a 36 month. They wany $4000 upfront (Taxes, title etc...) and the lease still came out to $770 per mo.!! Sounds a bit high to me, but didn't get to run it thru my model yet - any thoughts?0
lupton Posts: 1I have verbally accepted an offer from Concours BMW, for 3.0 with an MSRP of 49720 for 598 per month with Sec. Dep. 1st Month and title due at signing. Can I push these guys a little more? Essentially it is 5K rebate + 2.5K off sticker.
Hi Larry,
Since you replied to my post, I'll give this a shot.
I'm still trying to get that much off sticker, so that looks good to me, although I've seen $8k mentioned as a target off MSRP.
MSRP 49720, selling price 42220
If it is a 10k miles/yr lease, I come up with $583/mo before TTL.
On a 12k/yr lease I come up with $595, so the lease number looks reasonable.
Those numbers include no additional fees at all.
Good Luck0
I'm in Chapel Hill, NC and the dealer is offering $ 45,920 as purchase price. What lease number would be reasonable for 24 months, 15,000 miles and with 2,500 down?
Thanks for any help.
bdr127 Posts: 950Please give us some details..... MSRP, options, etc.0
oki doki. Here is the info;
'05 X5 3.0, CW pkg., premium pkg., rear climate pkg., auto, heated front seats, self dimming mirrors, xenon, premium h-fi system. MSRP 50,920. Selling price 44,920 + tax, tags & doc. fee. Hope this helps.
Looking to lease for 24 months, 15 K miles/yr. Would a 39 month, 15 K miles/yr lease work put better?
lup11 Posts: 9Thanks for the response. So I bought the X5 on Friday, and I truly love it. Although the gas mileage isn't as good as the RX330, I think the interior is much nicer, and besides the lease was more attractive. I had to pay an additional $10 month to waive the security deposit (money factor increase to .00265 vs. .00250), since I'm a first time BMW customer, so the final numbers were 608 + tax ($639) and the upfrom on $710 (1st month, title and registration).0
I can get an '05 BMW X5 4.4 with extras MSRP 59,445 for 50,445. 9,000 bucks off sounds a lot, but the lease deal I have been quoted is $890 a month (this makes it zero down, no trade in so taxes are around $4k). Looking at the posts it seems the discount is good, just wondered if I would be better waiting for Money Factors to drop back down. Does anyone think this will happen?, and am I right thinking that I could pay an extra $5k if the MF was 0.0012 rather than 0.0028. Also what would be a good estimate of what the dealer would take off a $60k '06 if I waited until November? Will the $5k incentive be replaced with something else, or is this simply to get rid of '05s.
Thanks for the help.0
The cash incentive is to get rid of the vehicles.. I doubt you'll see the lease numbers get any better, as all of the incentives are in the upfront money..
The '05 is probably a better vehicle to buy than lease, right now...

Thanks kyfdx, so are you saying when the incentives disappear you don't think the MF and residuals will be adjusted to make the deal more attractive?
What I am wondering is whether I can get the car for a little more money in November but end up paying the same on a lease once the MF and residuals are adjusted. August MF was far more favourable, right?
Sorry kyfdx - to be clear I am talking about the option of getting an '06 vehicle in November, obviously all the '05s will be gone. What I'm not clear about is whether the incentives will have gone with them!0

|Scope note
|The Frank Borman Papers, 1961-1989, contain material that Borman accumulated while serving as an executive of Eastern Airlines. Materials include office files, correspondence, company reports, clippings, speech transcripts, audio recordings and a few artifacts. Correspondence addressing Eastern's financial crisis, labor relations, and support for Borman constitutes the bulk of the collection. Transcripts of speeches Borman delivered as a Special Representative for President Nixon, as an U.S. astronaut for NASA, and as CEO of Eastern Airlines are also included in the collection.
|Biographical or historical note
|Frank Borman, U.S. Astronaut who led the Apollo 8 lunar orbit mission and Chief Executive Officer of Eastern Airlines from 1975-1986, was born in Gary, Indiana, March 14, 1928. Raised in Tucson, Arizona, where he learned to fly at age 15, Borman attended U.S. Military Academy, West Point and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1950, thus beginning a 20-year career in the U.S. Air Force. He received a Masters of Science in Aeronautical Engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 1957. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) recruited Borman into its astronaut program, for which Borman led the Gemini 7 (1965) and the Apollo 8 (1968) missions. In 1970, Borman retired from NASA with over 6,000 hours of in-space flight time, and the US Air Force at the rank of Colonel. As the Special Representative of President Richard Nixon, Borman visited twelve countries in Europe and the Far East in 1970 to search out information concerning missing American prisoners of war in Vietnam. Borman began serving as a special advisor to Eastern Airlines in 1969. In 1970, he was named Senior Vice President of Operational Affairs, eventually earning the title of Chief Executive Officer in 1975 and Chairman of the Board by 1976. Borman used Eastern's assets to invest heavily in modern jetliners. Increased debt, and the Deregulation Act of 1978--which opened the Airline Industry to pure competition-- brought many challenges to the development and financial stability of Eastern Airlines. Borman instituted innovative and risky financial tactics to ease the effects of the deregulation policies, including profit-sharing and labor wages that were dependent upon the company's success. Borman's tactics produced the company's four most profitable years, but they also resulted in dissent among Eastern's labor unions. By 1983, as a proposed solution to Eastern's debt burden, Borman asked employees to accept pay cuts in order to keep the company running. Eastern's mechanics, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), threatened to strike if Eastern's management followed through with this planned pay cut. Borman failed to reach an agreement with the labor unions and retired from Eastern Airlines in 1986, selling the company, 3.5 billion dollars in debt, to Texas Air executive and ""corporate raider"" Frank Lorenzo. Lorenzo's confrontational and controversial tactics eventually pushed Eastern into bankruptcy, following a 1989 strike by the Machinists, pilots, and flight attendants. Lorenzo was ultimately declared ""unfit to rule"" in the bankruptcy case overseen by Judge Burton Lifland, and after he sold off all routes, gates and aircraft, Eastern was liquidated in 1991.

Zero Punctuation: Grand Theft Auto 5
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NEXT
I just try to look at things objectively because "I had fun" isn't a very good reason to recommend a game. I personally love RPGs, but I'm not about to recommend Persona 3 to someone who only plays Call of Duty or something. Whenever I try to review or recommend something, I think about the strengths and weaknesses of the game rather than my personal opinion.
It's something that's quantifiable rather than something that differs from person to person. I can count how many glitches I see in a game. I'm able to observe texture popping and poor AI. I can tell when a story doesn't make sense. However, I can't tell you whether or not you'll enjoy it because I'm not you.
I think you nailed it on the head. This totally applies to pretty much any review on the Escapist unless politics and gender issues are brought up. Then oh-boy! Watch the comments count soar!
And this is my problem with the "other...ain't gonna name anything" exemple. Neither of those games are the first thing coming to mind when comparing GTA with somehing. Personally I was thinking of Just Cause and Saint's Row.
Ok, well in that case Saint's Row has absolutely nothing to do of value outside of side quests and those don't really affect anything at all. I was just talking about any open world game. But yeah if you wanna talk about GTA clones, Mercenaries only gives you things to blow up and Mafia II... well, Mafia II doesn't really give you anything at all. I can't speak about Just Cause because despite owning both I haven't actually played them.
Those are all "other" open world games with maps that feel more empty than Grand Theft Auto V.
I expect Shadow Warrior next (two) week(s). The game is incredibly awesome, as in, it might be one of the very best shooters this year and one of the best I've played in the last few years... and that's saying a lot.
Ow! Why is this room so bright?
Oh, I see. No wonder the picture is blurry.
More on topic, I still hang on to my copy of GTA: San Andreas, and I can't really justify an upgrade. Maybe next time!
I think thats pretty simple. The escapist review is connected to metacritic, zero punctuation is not. :)
OT: I like the game, its pretty damn good. Great on a technical level (again) but not really trying anything new or having a great memorable story (its just good). In other words - great game but no where near "goty" or any other kind of weird award. Certainly not "game of the generation" like many people seem to bandy about.
Oh also the heists were massively over-hyped, good lord. Probably the best missions of the lot, but your input is much more limited than the marketing would have you believe.
There are plenty of games that are bugless but I wouldn't recommend because I don't find them fun. I don't think I get the info I personally would want from a review that you do.
How do you define "value" in game?
I'm not just talking about glitches, I'm talking about content.
No, you didn't read it, or you are purposefully lying to defend your precious escapist (see how easy that is?) and if they were complaining about the score, why? It wasn't a bad score.
Bottom line, Tito spent the entire review complaining about the story and stating things that were demonstrably false (like the live invader section) and then ended it by giving it a good score, as if he's completely missing the point of doing the review.
It was unprofessional.
The Escapist staff and people like you rely on the "they just whining cus of score" strawman because you have nothing real to use to defend the review or address the actual complaints.
I love how the people pre defending ZP are talking about "fanboy rage."
Yes, clunky and boring. Everyone buying and enjoying the game is wrong, your analysis of the game is quite original.
If you don't like the games, that's fine. This whole idea that you have to tear something down because you don't enjoy it is pathetic. If you want to rip on a game, at least use an original thought or provide some level of entertainment, otherwise you just seem like another kid latching onto a person like Yahtzee because they can't form their own opinion about anything.
Quests that mean something. I don't consider driving around spraying shit on houses to be very important to the plot or game. In Grand Theft Auto V, one of the collectibles unlocks a mission after you collect them all. Doing running races increases your stamina. Doing car races increases your driving skill. Certain side missions give extra insight to the active character's personality. When you run around the world of GTA V, there are hidden secrets and random encounters all the time, whether it's someone being mugged or a hidden ghost. The world feels different at every place you visit. When you're in the city, you feel the life of the city around you with pedestrians everywhere and cops chasing AI criminals. When you're on top of a mountain, you can look into the distance at the city and just take in the scenery. Compare that to Far Cry where every location is just pretty much jungle or Saints Row where every location is just city and the side missions in both don't affect the story or your understanding of the characters.
Thanks for posting Yahtzee : ) Good point about how it is open sandbox yet missions drop that theme and go in the opposite direction.
So back to the heart of it, three, three characters and I could not find a reason to care about them. It is surprising about characters and motivation. Just like reading a story, if there is no connection to the characters most people will stop reading, it is entertainment fiction after all.
I kept at it trying to find something redeeming about the game but mission after mission, it just did not click with me.
"Stripped out" implies that they were there to begin with.
I can't believe there are still people here that know so little about game design that they think they started with GTA 4 and just started removing features.
Same thing that always came up with GTA 4, the game that had a bunch of people complaining about how pointless and boring mini games like bowling and pool were. They acted like Rockstar just took san andreas, turned the "graphics" dial and started removing vehicles and gameplay elements.
GTA never caries over every feature from the previous game. I did play GTA 4, I loved the game, but I don't miss the minigames because my copy of GTA 4 still exists. I'm glad they had some new games (which are actually a lot more in depth) to play around with like golf and tennis because having the exact same activities and gameplay that was in the last game would be so boring and pointless.
I buy GTA because they change the game with every sequel. I don't understand why people complain about features not being carried over when their copies of SA and 4 still exist.
I honestly mean no offense by this and I am saying this without a hint of hostility or sarcasm, if you think games like GTA 4 or 5 or even Modern Warfare are "realistic" then you seriously need to leave the house a bit more.
It's a game. It may be designed to look or feel "realistic" but nothing about those games is actually realistic. People don't fly back when shot like in COD and especially not like in GTA 4 or 5. People don't take gunshots to the chest and continue to drive around and shoot. People don't just charge through a battlefield massacring the "enemy" like it's nothing.
I really wish somebody would do a truly realistic war/crime game to illustrate to certain people how ridiculous it is to call those games realistic.
Again, I mean all of that without a hint of hostility, the fact that people consider those games "realistic" really gives credence to the idea that letting kids play games too much may be affecting their perception of the world in a negative way.
I can't help but remember the review of "Red Dead Redemtion". RockStar doesn't make a games quite for the story telling. They make games that are big boxes of toys you can go play with.
The story is just an advertisement for why you should play with the toys. Get a better familiarity.
RockStar have looked at what made their different instalments work, and evolved thouse.
GTA IV has a lot of possibilities, but most of them mondane.
Sorry if bad english. It's my third language.
I haven't tried the game but from what i've seen i know that i will hate the gameplay. It just seems so constrained and linear, you aren't really given much to do, often it's just one single task with one single solution: "go there, pick that up, shoot him", atleast if GTA IV and the first 2 hours of V is anything to go by. Aside from that i kinda hate Hausers writing style, so yeah i think i'll pass.
I'd much prefer it if the goal of these games were to just do crazy stuff and escape from the cops, that's always the moments i'm having the most fun with GTA games. They could make a kick-ass arcade game out of this, or maybe something like Driver only less constrained and less broken.
That don't answer the question. How do you define "valuable actions" in game?
Sometimes, yes they do. Problem is, even if it's rare, a comic issue is short, a video game is much longer. It's more comparable to an episodic series than a single comic book.
A game as big as GTA 5 is not comparable to a single comic issue and as a person that's been playing the game a lot I can tell you that there's nothing inconsistent about the dialog or characters, I honestly didn't even know the dialog was written by more than one person.
All to often people confuse character growth with a character being inconsistent.
I do agree, committee often ruins good ideas, but the characters and story are dictated by creative figureheads that have a passion for the series.
Yeah I didn't know three people were credited with the writing either, but I feel there's a lesson in that about not just taking what Yahtzee says on faith. The guy is great at what he does, what he does is not game reviews, it's comedic cynical analysis of games.
I know people will accuse me of being a "fanboy" but the fact is, I'm a fan. I like to defend things I enjoy when I see people making dishonest or unfair criticisms. I am fine with people not liking a game I like, what bugs me is when people that haven't played the game are turned away because of completely dishonest things being said by "trustworthy sources" or those things being spread around as if it's known fact.
The game has plenty of real flaws, but that's because it's massive. They could have made a game like COD that would have little to no glitches but what keeps me interested in Rockstar is their ability to take chances. Changing the GTA formula with almost every sequel is a huge risk that too many companies refuse to take anymore.
Just wanted to say that, as the "fanboy rage" term is thrown around a lot here.
Things that advance the story, make your characters better, or learn about your characters' personalities or learn about the world you're in. That's exactly what I just said and I really don't know how else to explain it.
People that don't work ask "who cares how much work went into this"
I care how much work went into it when the quality of the product is pretty good. People dug into the use of symbolism and themes in Spec Ops the line only because that game made it very obvious, it doesn't mean that games like GTA and SR didn't put hidden symbolic meaning into portions of the game or the entire game itself.
The results of that labor is a quality game in the case of SR and GTA so I don't really get what your comment was supposed to mean here.
If you don't like the game, that's fine, but people acting like one game is objectively more "fun" because it has a dildo in it is just kind of sad to see here. SR is a lot of fun, but they didn't make "fun" a higher priority than Rockstar did with GTA. If SR was made to be nothing but arcadey stupid fun then they wouldn't have given it a story in the first place.
I won't drop the attitude, mind you, and I won't discuss the issue. Because you simply are one of those types of people I absolutely despise having a conversation with. "Oh, I didn't like this particular aspect of the game/I have experienced rare glitches, this must means the game sucks!". Replace game with any word you want. Funny how critically aclaimed titles like Prototype and Saints Row 4 are on your list of things you know are horrible/terrible/not good.
Of course, using the quantity argument doesn't make it right, but it does say that it isn't something that can be resumed to "I know it sucks". I would be happy to discuss the game with you, or anything for that matter, if you simply said that you don't like it. I, for example, don't like Call of Duty, because I'm not a modern FPS fan and I think it's gettin' repetitive after yearly releases. But I won't say it's a bad game, because I would be wrong. Stupidly wrong.
You simply say "I know Prototype is horrible" when it isn't. gameplay-wise, it's pretty much as good as it can get, with fluid movements, animations, precise target lockdown, enphasis on constant action with the consume mechanic, and non-repetitive missions. Story wise could be better, and it's not for everyone, but the writing sure isn't bad, at all.
But here you come, with that subdermal layer of pure, unnatended arrogance, and claim that you KNOW the game isn't good. You know. You know better than everybody else. It's not a matter of personal opinion, just empirical, objective truth. And I won't have it. I won't drop the attitude because I don't believe you are worthy of anything else. Because your words are corresponding with someone who cannot be argued with, because he KNOWS what he's talking about, and nothing else.
I won't stop being a ponce, because there's nothing to be gained from not being. In fact, there's much to lose. Time, patience, belief in other's capability of respecting a different opinion. I would respect your opinion if you said GTA V was great, mechanically wise it's top notch and the protagonists won't appeal to everyone, even though I personally dislike the game. I agree with you when you say this Zero Punctuation was bad/not good. But you aren't bringing an opinion, you are bringing "FaCtS" into the table, and hey, I might as well have some fun while I talk to you, because otherwise, no chance.
You do realise SR4 was the same thing as Blood Dragon, right? Wasn't meant to be a full game on its own but a small little redress of SR3 that picked up more momentum than they were expecting it to?
It's kind of a "become the thing you hate" type of thing.
Reminds me of the first trailer for RE5 being released and the capcom boards instantly going "people are going to call this racist" with other posters going "people calling this racist? RE2 had white zombies!" and suddenly everyone was acting like they were fighting back the horrible PC police. Suddenly people were making youtube videos about how "it's so not racist" directed at a group of people that didn't even exist considering nobody at the time called it racist.
Have yet to see anyone calling RE5 racist, despite the fact that it was released and we found out that it portrayed African natives as leaf skirt and tribal mask wearing, spear throwing, growling beasts. Yes they were "infected" but I think the people that used that defense (before any complaints were made mind you) don't understand how symbolism works. You are still depicting Africans as savage tribesmen out for the white man's blood. Don't try to use the partner as a defense, she's a slightly more subtle stereotype. I believe her last line in the game was "that is for my fallen ancestors" or something like that.
Now with that in mind, I am kind of wondering if RE4 and 5 were meant to be exploring the idea of xenophobia by portraying "foreigners" as they may be imagined by a racist white guy that has never left his homeland.
This is one of the more realistic reviews he's ever done. Its not overly troll-y nor is he gushing over GTAV. Yatzhee seems to have the same reaction to this game I did. A solid, resolute, proud 'what else can I play?'
Simply put, GTA is now incredibly bland. It was as basic and by the numbers as these games get.
The planes were easy enough to fly for me.
Yes they could program them to be "easier to fly" but they could have also programmed the game with more hand holding auto aim and missile bullets, it just wouldn't be very challenging and would probably feel pretty soulless.
You exaggerate the turbulence you experience in planes (even with the lowest possible flying skill) that I have to wonder if you even played the game.
Good question. I think one way is to commit whole heartedly to a linear set up, with the open world acting as a backdrop or an occasional diversion (like in Arkham asylum/city or LA Noire). The other is to commit properly to the open world set up, and stop punishing the player with failure for slightly stepping out of some strict boundaries (like STALKER). Games like Skyrim and GTA fail at either, because they try to sell themselves on an open world but actually prefer to focus on some meagre, tightly scripted story.
Again, that's the strawman used by Escapist staff to frame the issue their way.
The complaints (I saw no death threats or threats against his family) were regarding the review itself, not the score. The score was a good score, but it was a good score tacked onto a review that did nothing but complain and state things about the game that are demonstrably false.
No matter how often I explain this, people still try to exaggerate the issue and discredit complaints by making up these ridiculous retelling of what really happened.
"Fun" is a relatively subjective term, so it's hard to quanitify but GTA IV was sluggish and chore-like. Saints Row was action packed. Even better, the action was well-designed. I mean, if sluggish controls and routine date requests are your idea of fun, then Godspeed.
One way GTA V is more fun (to me) is the way it doesn't require you to play five hours to get into things. It starts off fast and keeps a nice pace. It engaged me, something Niko's rather mundane beginnings couldn't do.
Well, I am both.
But you know, I looked at your played games on XBL (since you were kind enough to link your GT), and I'm not really seeing much that would qualify as having "more" than that. And hell, the comparison of stuff to do with RDR just seems...Wrong. Flat out wrong.
But whatever. I'm not here to judge. I just find it weird.
But hey, I'm not particularly a fan of the GTA series. I played 3 mostly because everyone said I must, and the open world was a bit of a revolution at the time, so it was something I could appreciate. IV sucked ass in my opinion, highlighting ockstar's tendency for "ooh shiny" over substance, so I sort of get where you're coming from. But V? Well, they still haven't figured out how to do competent gameplay, you pretty much need aim assist to compensate for some of the worst firearm controls in the history of games, and there's an emphasis on shiny, but....
I actually like the story. Well, enjoyed is more the word. The thing is, that even though a lot of the characters are whiny, the sum ends up being better than the whole of its parts. I found myself engaged by the story threads. I actually spent a lot more time actually doing missions in this game than dicking around, which is relatively unqie for sandboxes. I got like 30 hours out of Saints Row 3, despite it being a 5 hour game, because I didn't touch most of the story missions for a loooooooong time.
I actually have to disagree with the GTA V reviews on the Escapist thus far haha
that being said, I was disappointed that there weren't more to the heists. planning it out was cool, but I have to agree that leveling up your secondary crew members and stuff could have had more depth. most the missions apart from the first and last are just go in and shoot your way out loll
yeah I found myself actually rushing to do story missions because the characters were fun to watch. I didn't find them "whiny" but selfish oh hell yea very much so loll but I feel like it kinda fits for...well a freaking GTA game. Franklin was very much a Connor-esque paperboy being led along by everyone, but it was Lamar who annoyed the crap about me with his "homies for life" deal until the end when he redeemed himself haha. and I legitimately liked Michael whose struggles to reconnect with his family while staving off a midlife crisis was a nice touch and not something I've really seen before in a game. and I hated/loved Trevor because...well he's Trevor lol
Michael's justification for doing terrible things is the same justification Walter White uses, in my opinion. His life is boring, middle class and materialistic. Doing bank heists and pulling down peoples houses off cliffs is what makes him feel alive in his humdrum daily pointless life.
That's just my opinion anyway.
My sniper rifle comment was more about how it works in games in general, here it doesn't seem so bad.
I still hate the flying controls and Yhahtzee seems to agree. Its a problem when I cant do things like "go forward" or "turn right" without nearly crashing the helicopter. In fact it seems as if the game is aware of its bad controls and tries to make "challenges" out of them. That's why you get points for things like flying under bridges. You don't get points for driving a car trough a tunnel because making the car go in a strait line without crashing into every wall isnt a challenge.
Actually, so was I. Being one of the miniscule number of people who didn't give a FUCK about GTAV, I'd actually forgotten he was likely to be doing it, so I was hoping he'd be doing Shadow Warrior too. I just hope it isn't a massive disappointment to him like Duke Nukem Forever was- it already starts with an automatic strike against it by being a reboot of a classic property with the exact same name as the original.
