From beginning to end, the dialog of Marshall is a filmviewer's dream—a plot that might seem ordinary becomes poetry of the likes of Langston Hughes (briefly played by Jussie Smollett), a classmate of Thurgood Marshall. The protagonist is a young attorney named Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman), who narrates that he was born in Baltimore (in 1908) and is unable to attend the University of Maryland because of the color of his skin, goes on to graduate from Howard University with a law degree (in 1933), and then fights his first court case against Maryland to desegregate the university and wins in the Maryland Supreme Court in Murray v Pearson. In 1940, he founds the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund as its only attorney and wins Chambers v Florida, a U.S. Supreme Court case when four Blacks are unanimously exonerated because they were terrorized into confessing that they murdered a White man. Marshall then travels around the country to fight cases on behalf of those wrongfully charged with crimes because of their race. Filmviewers might expect that such a biopic of the first African American who later served on the Supreme Court (1967-1991), might feature his success in the 1954 case Brown v Board of Education, but alas there would be no suspense in such a film. Instead, Marshall traces that success to an almost forgotten case early in his career.
The film takes place during 1941. After a trial in Oklahoma City, he travels to Bridgeport, Connecticut, to defend a Black servant accused of raping and attempting to kill Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), the wife of a business executive in aristocratic Greenwich, Connecticut. After interviewing Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown), the defendant, Marshall seeks to represent him in court, only to be told by the judge (James Cromwell) that he cannot do so because he is not a member of the Connecticut Bar, one of several decisions that might subsequently serve as the basis for an appeal. Accordingly, Marshall prevails upon Sam Friedman (Josh Gad) to handle the case, even though the latter specializes in civil law and has never before handled a criminal case. Marshall then tutors Friedman, who eventually becomes a major civil rights attorney. The heart of the film is a reconstruction of the trial but also includes out-of-court scenes in which Whites demonstrate their racial animus, including thugs who separately assault Friedman and Marshall, the latter proving that his fists speak almost as well as his tongue. The prosecution makes out the case against the defendant, including some "dirty trick" surprises to confound the defense. Friedman, counseled by Marshall, then shines by upending points made by the prosecution and recites a closing argument dictated to him by Marshall, who leaves town before the case is decided to defend someone else in Mississippi. In Marshall, filmviewers enjoy the standard Hollywood formula for films centered on trials but also gain insight into the genius of Thurgood Marshall.
The Political Film Society has nominated Marshall for best film exposé of 2017 for revealing the circumstances of the case and best film on human rights for the way in which Marshall, directed by Reginald Alan Hudlin, depicts the difficulties faced by African Americans in achieving justice. MH

Cold weather usually brings about bird movements so I was keen to get down to Aldcliffe to see what effect this current cold snap has had on the local birdlife. The path along Freemans Wood was still frozen in the late afternoon and the Pool itself was completely ice covered save for a tiny patch next to the island that held a crowd of 2 Little Grebe, 4 Gadwall and c50 Teal. The woods were pretty quiet so I headed up to Marsh Point where a few Cormorant were feeding in the river along with 3 Goldeneye (1 male) and a female Goosander.
From here I could hear the familiar sound of geese, but not the Pink-feet that I've been hearing this last week, this was the Greylag flock which has been absent from the marsh for a couple of weeks. About 50 Greylag Geese were feeding in front of the Golden Ball along with 15 Canada Geese and about 20 Pink-feet. A few scans through the Greylags and bingo, a single juvenile White-fronted Goose, the cold weather had brought them back after all. There also seemed to have been an increase in Mute Swans on the marsh with about 40 dotted around, no yellow bills amongst them yet however.
The river itself held the usual wader species and a couple of Little Egrets, whilst he marsh was mostly frozen which probably explains why there were no Snipe in the area around Snipe Bog, just a small flock of Meadow Pipits. A small wader that flew past me when I was there was unfortunately too brief to get an ID on, but it sounded different.
For the first time this week there were no Pink-footed Geese on the Drumlins. 63 species for the patch year.

I did my first – and last – headline tour of Europe with Berzerker in 2003.
This came at the end of six months or so of dragging our song-and-dance show around the world through numerous stressful incidents, crashes, death threats, and last-minute bandmate replacements. I therefore wasn't able to enjoy the occasion as much as I might have. I was exhausted, I wanted to go home, and I had already decided to leave the band as a full-time occupation.
I considered the band to be my full-time job from joining in 1999 through to 2003. I guess you can say I went 'part-time' until 2008. Although I was working corporate jobs during that time, I'd quit them to go on tour and turn down various offers to go full-time. Music was my priority. I've got no regrets, but I certainly wonder what might have been if I'd followed a few of them up. I always thought we'd break through with Berzerker and turn it into the kind of big band we'd make a full-time living from, but by 2003 that illusion had vanished. I had seen enough to know it wasn't going to happen.
Our label did not have the business nous to push us in the brave new digital age, and seemed to want to ignore us and their grind roots in favour of more indie bands. They no longer thought of themselves as a metal label. Any money made by the band went straight back into the band, there was almost no percentage finding its way back to our pockets. We had ignored the rule of small business: pay yourself first, everyone else later. We were masked and anonymous, so we weren't getting appreciation or fame or credit for our work. I remember Devin Townsend remarking what a good job Luke did writing the guitar for 'Dissimulate' and I was like, dude, Matt and I wrote almost all the riffs on that except for 'Last Mistake'. Devin stared at me silently and his facial expressions said it all: they went from incomprehension, to disgust, then pity.
And lastly, we'd played with the big extreme bands who'd 'made it' and it looked like the shittest lifestyle ever to me. Everyone lived on fast food and beer. No-one was making much money. They were mostly miserable. Legends like Napalm Death were in share-houses and had day jobs to go back to when they were off tour. People weren't heading off on ski-holidays or for degustation dinners between tours, they were heading back to their blue-collar job and saving money to do another tour. Sure, bands like Immolation had their shit together enough to make some decent paydays on national tours, but even they were back to work when the tour was done. And there was never a point where tours ran smoothly without the need for screaming at people, threatening others, and rolling with the various scams and fuckups that the industry would throw at you.
I clearly remember when Matt and I told Luke we were done touring. We were halfway through the US tour of 2003 and Luke asked if we were up for doing an Arch Enemy national support tour back in the US after the European tour was done. He'd been asking us repeatedly, and we'd put off answering. Eventually I bit the bullet and said, no, the european tour will be it for me. Matt broke off from one of his vast silent staring-at-nothing moments to add that he was finished as well. I half expected Luke to blow up but he took it pretty well.
So when it came time for the European headline tour, I knew it was probably going to be my last ever full overseas tour. The tour was organised by Earache Records to showcase us and two other Earache bands, Corporation 187 and December. At first this sounded like a good idea: cut out the lying cheating booking agents and tour managers, and run everything directly between the label and the bands. Naturally, the tour turned out to be a pile of shit. In what has to be the most stunningly trusting move in music industry history, the promoters for each venue were paid and provided promotional materials in advance. This resulted in absolutely no promotion being done and all the promotional materials getting binned. In one or two cases, the gigs were cancelled and the promoter tried their luck at holding onto the money. Additionally, the posters were done with the trendy new Earache logo and were fluorescent pink-orange in colour so they looked like they were advertising a happy-trance danceparty.
We arrived the day before tour and stayed with the Earache Press Chick from the time. I had been sunburned the day before in Miami and I was already starting to blister and peel and look fucking horrifying. I was actually looking forward to hiding away in the mask for once. I remember we chatted in the kitchen for a bit. Matt Zane and his band Society One had just done a show at Download where he was suspended via back piercings for the entire set, and I thought it was the maddest thing I'd ever seen. I remember wondering why on earth Earache weren't giving them a huge push and putting them upfront on the website and everything. They were obviously the best new prospect the label had going at the time. The band gave one more album to Earache and left the label just over a year later.
The Earache Press Chick asked us and the other bands to keep a tour diary, so the label could keep doing press updates with various diary excerpts during the tour. It sounded like a good idea. When it became apparent mid-tour that these diary pieces represented more promotional effort than the promoters themselves were making, we became less enthused. I kept writing it anyway as my bile needed to spill out somewhere, and just recently I found it on an old hard-drive that decided to start working again. Here it is below, with updates where I expand and digress on anything that needs expanding.
EUROPEAN TOUR W/ CORPORATION 187 and DECEMBER
(Original entries in italics)
* note: the original entries remain unchanged except for selective changing of 'the Berzerker' to Luke. We were anonymous in those days. Those entries have been updated to avoid confusion.
28 feb Rio, Bradford, UK – we were extremely nervous about this gig as it was Ryan's first show drumming for us. He had only flown in earlier in the day, and we were unsure whether or not he would make it through customs seeing as though he didn't have a visa like the rest of us. Hell, he only got his passport the day before…true Berzerker drummer style! (note – Gary, the usual drummer, left applying for his US visa so late back in Australia that I had to enter the US embassy after hours with the assistance of a friendly embassy staff member to pick up his passport…the day before catching our planes to the US). Fortunately, things went off without too many problems and we were able to relax and get in the groove of pounding out a show.
Rio, Bradford, UK is a fucking toilet. I remember looking at the parking lot outside the venue and reflecting that I'd seen cleaner garbage dumps. I also remember an overwhelming sense of relief due to Ryan not only making it into the UK but also us being able to play the set without a significant car-crash moment. We had to sneak him in separately to us and bring his sticks, kicks, and cymbals in ourselves as he didn't have a visa. If he wasn't allowed in the country, we had no backup plan.
01 mar Corporation, Sheffield, UK. – this place was always good for partying afterwards but kind of shonky for gigs as it doesn't hold too many people. This show had all the usual hijinx – spraying water on the crowd, kicking bottles down the side staircase, balancing precariously on top of the PA, etc, followed by everyone running around the club getting ludicrously drunk afterwards.
The first time we played this venue we became pathetically excited by the masses of kids crowding outside the place. We thought everyone was here to see us kick ass and do our thing. No such luck. The venue is a big multi-story nightclub with a tiny music venue tacked onto the side of it and everyone was waiting for the club to open, not to see us. The venue fit about eighty people, tops.
02 mar The Old Angel, Nottingham, UK. – I reckon this would be one of our most intense gigs. The venue was utterly tiny and only fit about 60 people, half of which were Earache staff and other bands. The other half of the crowd were total psychos. During the gig we had a hardcore snuff movie playing on a screen above the stage (I remember telling the person in charge of visuals to start the video at the part "where the pig is getting blowtorched"). The pit went nuts, and there was this large skinhead lunatic who was screaming for us to punch him in the face. I belted him a few times before the vocalist started kicking me to make me stop…which nearly led to an onstage melee, as my bloodlust was up a bit. I remember looking at Dig and the Earache staff standing up the back while all this was going on. The look on Dig's face said "Only five more days now until they get out of my country…"
03 mar Cathouse, Glasgow – We always love playing Glasgow, cool promoters, bands and clubs. Only problem was this place had no lift and the stage was at the top of a staircase so we had to carry everything up which took the wind out of us a bit. Watched Co-Exist open up the night's proceedings, and wondered how on earth no-one has signed them yet. They had a guy filling in for lead vocals tonight because the usual vocalist was in hospital, punctured lung I think. The start of the gig wasn't too flash for me – the bass cut out halfway through the opening track ('Principles' I think). When the song finished I had to hold the bass up in the air and punch the back of it a few times, then it came good for the rest of the gig. The pick-up's battery was a bit loose or something. Otherwise, a good gig. Usual crazy Glaswegian crowd.
This is the night where we nearly killed our friend Nails.
I always loved Glasgow. Kelvin, the promoter, was one of the few good guys out there who actually did his job. And it was such a pleasure to see Co-Exist in full force on their home turf. They had the kind of raw energy that reminded me of Australia's Damaged, back in their glory days.
04 mar Bierkeller, Manchester, UK. – I think we were the first gig here since the place got renovated. Backstage was full of inflatable sex-sheep and pigs from the lederhosen oompah-night which happens here every Saturday. The hard-nut kids here were full-on fans, and wanted to talk so much I nearly ran out of voice before the gig started. It was a hard gig for me: my inear monitors were cutting in and out, I still had pickup battery problems, and I lost a knob and tuning peg from my bass. OK gig though. We had an inflatable sex-sheep sacrifice afterwards to bring fortune on the tour, and it was one of those rare nights we got a shower as well.
I'm not lying, there were actually sex-toy inflatable farm animals with orifices that you could fully Do It with lying in packets stacked in the backstage area. We drew a chalk pentagram in the middle of the dancefloor, inflated a sheep, said some incantations (stolen from Nocturnus lyrics), and then I plunged a knife into it. The bastard didn't deflate easily however. It was built to withstand repeated jabbing from sharp objects.
We also tangled with a bootlegger selling cut-price shitty homemade Berzerker shirts out the front. I'll expand on that incident in another post sometime. In a nutshell, we confiscated his merch and handed it out to everyone on tour. In lieu of laundry, we'd just grab a fresh bootleg shirt and put that on instead.
The only other incident was the promoter/venue owner's chick seemed to be a bit keen on me. She was pretty cute but I was making sure nothing happened – despite being in full tour-pirate mode, burning a promoter in such a way seemed a bad move at the time. Anyway she followed me into the bus lounge at the end of the night, and Luke screamed at me thinking I had lured her onto there to drag into my bunk for some loving. Normally a correct assumption, but not that night.
05 mar Bierkeller, Bristol, UK. – A bloke around the corner of the venue managed to do what none of the roadies and techies on the Nile/Napalm Death tour could do: he fixed my monitors. Now I get foldback in both ears when I play and the world is sweet again. A couple of friends met me at the gig which was a really good surprise, but not as many people turned up to the show as when we first played here. It is becoming apparent there has been no promotion done at all for this tour. All I remember from the gig is my microphone repeatedly falling out of the stand, especially during 'Burnt' which is one of my favourite songs vocally.
One of the friends who turned up to meet me was the girl who became my girlfriend for a number of years. We had met the year before at the Bristol Bierkeller, so it was good to catch up at the same place again. Apparently I looked like hammered shit at the time and she nearly had second thoughts about having anything to do with me. I was peeling from my Miami sunburn, was covered in crappy mask makeup, and had strange zits growing on my face from the mask and microphones.
Everyone was already a little unsettled with the label by this point. They had a couple of guys running an Earache merchandise stall travelling with us for the length of the tour where they were selling Earache merch. They were also selling the CDs of the bands on tour, at prices that forced us to reduce ours. The bands weren't happy about this at all.
06 mar The Garage, London, UK. – great gig at a top venue, run by an aussie chick who doesn't take any shit from anyone. All bands were in top form. Mark (December's) vocals sometimes sound like two people have been rolled into the same body. We caught up with the Labrat guys who created their usual ruckus. Sarah, the press rep from Earache, has instructed us all to keep a tour diary so they can put it on the Earache website. I think our enthusiasm towards that will reflect the enthusiasm promoters and Earache have shown in promoting this tour. The crowd was loud as hell when we got on tonight. I had some troubles with my mask; ever since I lost my head towel in the US on the last tour, my stand-in tea towel hasn't been staying on my head properly which means my mask moves around and I can't headbang as much. Did a stage-dive during the last song, was promptly ejected back up on stage by a freaked-out front row. Had a very drunken channel crossing this evening.
You read that correctly: I wrapped a towel around my head before each Berzerker performance in order to make my already-sizeable head large enough to keep the mask in place. Insert your own racial stereotype here…
07 mar Bareog, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. – small venue, not many people. My sister and her husband turned up to the show, so at last my family members get to see me do my thing. The show went alright except for some sort of mixer/drum problem which saw us take a 5 minute break midset. It's always uncomfortable having to wander around up the front of stage while the guys wrestle with the machinery. I tried to kick a guy in the head later in the show but my heart wasn't really in it. A couple of aussies came up to say hi afterwards which was cool.
This venue was a converted toilet block. The toilet theme continued that night, as the one on the bus was getting pretty full. When we lifted the lid to pee, you could see the piss-table floating just where the toilet exited into the tanks. There was a moratorium on flushing or having a shit on the bus. I noticed there was a foul odour in the air when I brought my sister and her husband onboard. I remember thinking how they were the cleanest nicest-smelling people I'd seen for days.
8 mar Lintfabriek, Kontich, Belgium. – this venue was great, it had beds, bunks, showers and awesome food, loads of pastries. I was tripped out by some parents attending the gig with their 11 year old DAUGHTER standing in front of me for the show. At the end of Pure Hatred I've been getting in the habit of grabbing the mike stand and taking it right down for the final 'yaaaaaaaaahh', and doing the Elvis into the front row. I did that this time and missed taking the girl's eye out by about 10cm. Her folks were nice. Nearly fell on the drumkit when jumping off the PA.
What kind of parents take their eleven year old daughter to a Berzerker gig?! How can this kid rebel when she grows up? Actually, this is ten years ago, now she'd be twenty-one. I'd be interested to see if she's either gone extreme-beyond-all-extreme, or is now into crochet and chamber music.
09 mar 013, Tilburg, The Netherlands. – really nice town, this one. We all went sightseeing for a while which we haven't really had the chance to do for a while. The venue was especially impressive, as was the backstage area. I haven't been fed this well for months. Although we were playing the small room we got a decent turnout and the crowd were pretty nuts which is always fun to play for. The mask is giving my chin some sort of problem though, same as the previous tour. Wherever the mike touches my chin, huge pustules erupt making it look like I have oral VD. I have taken to sticking gaffa tape over my face to try and minimise microphone contact, and look pretty weird before shows with my head towel, face paint and gaffa tape plastered around my head. Luke lost his jacket and pocket organiser tonight, which is a medium-sized disaster. Turned the cargo hold of the bus upside down but it wasn't in there.
I guess this is starting to show what a band's true priorities are when they're in full touring mode: good food, and a nice backstage with showers.
10 mar OFF – running amok in frankfurt. – Lovely town. We parked smack-bang in the middle of a big city square right outside tomorrow's venue, and it must have given everyone a rude shock when all us smelly, squinty-eyed metalheads poured out the side of the bus. The day ended with everyone shitfaced in the venue. December's drummer came back from some adventure with his own crap dried on the leg of his jeans. Noticed that not one poster advertising the gig is up anywhere.
The tour toilet by now had sloshed over the rim a few times when taking hard corners.
11 mar Nachtleben, Frankfurt, Germany – What an anticlimax to the previous day's partying. Twenty to thirty people showed up. I tried to put Corporation 187's drummer off his gig by leaning into his line of sight in the backstage area and flashing moons. Our gig sucked as Ryan had misplaced the click/sample track discs that we use to do our show so we got about 3/4s of the way through before we stopped. I heard Luke yelling at him around the drums and wondered how many times I had witnessed that scene before. We managed to finish the tracks minus clicks, I remember Painless was one of them. Fortunately Ryan's playing was fairly tight after all the practice with the click tracks. I hear rumour that Earache paid the promoters a promotional budget as well as sending them posters to put up. At almost every place the promotional budget seems to have disappeared and there are a big pile of untouched gig posters in the bandroom.
I clearly remember that happening with this place. We all turned up pre-gig, and dropped our stuff off onstage and in the bandroom. I think it was Corporation 187's drummer who said "hey – check this out". Underneath a table in the backstage was a big envelope with heaps of the gay fluoro gig posters still in it. We counted them, and only three or four had been removed: the ones stuck throughout the venue.
12 mar Marx, Hamburg, Germany. – a pretty depressing day. The venue was some ugly piece of shit place without a lift at the top of 10 flights of stairs, and it was too far away from the rest of town for us to do any real sightseeing before the show. I think about 10 people turned up. I remember looking at the gig listings on the venue's board and posters, and even when I looked at this date I could barely see our gig advertised. Even worse, I think someone from Metal Hammer Germany came to see the show. We gave it our all but Christ, we just wish the promoters and label would do the same. Luke screamed at Ryan over his playing after the show which makes this tour an unhappier place to be. Even worse, the cranky old Northerner bus driver is now talking a load of shit and getting everyone who should know better to pressure Baz (tour manager) into finishing this tour early. The bus driver doesn't want to do the drive from Copenhagen to Glachau, and suddenly decided to inform Baz that to do that drive we'd have to fly in another bus driver to share the driving with him, citing union regulations. Because Baz then took the precaution of checking with labels and bands, this fucking driver (in between eating all our food) is saying to each band that the tour is going to get worse, less and less people are going to come to our shows, we should cancel or our reputations will be stained, etc etc. I spent the evening going from person to person explaining how no-ones reputation will be ruined and trying to convince then to stay on the tour. Hey, I just want to go to Zurich is all! Anyway, the show at Glachau got cancelled and suddenly the bus driver's overwhelming urge to make everyone mutiny disappeared. How strange. We went to the red light district later. Corporation 187 bought dildos and riding crops.
This seems to happen a lot in the music industry: you get ancillary staff like drivers or roadies who are so incredibly up themselves. They go on about how without them, the tour wouldn't happen. Memo to any of you shmucks reading this: if Motorhead roll into town and the driver or roadie can't do his job, THEY get replaced by some other mug who can. Motorhead cannot be replaced but you can certainly replace some muppet driver. Not to say that they're not appreciated for the job that they do. But the poster says who everyone is paying to come and see and here's the tip: it ain't the prick driving the bus.
The incident with Luke and Ryan deserves a mention. Ryan was making more and more mistakes each night, he actually managed to defy the laws of touring by getting worse not better. Luke expected him to be able to do single-handed blasts by then. Ryan couldn't. He wouldn't try. Luke sat down at the kit, did a 300-something bpm blast while screaming at him, then threw all Ryan's song notes all over the floor. This evening was about the closest these two came to blows.
Oh, and when we were in the redlight district we tried to pool the day's PDs and draw straws to see who could get the money and treat themselves to a hooker. It was a good idea but all of December backed out and the money fell short of the objective. These girls wouldn't haggle either and I'm reasonably sure when they saw the state of us they probably doubled their price.
13 mar Loppen, Copenhagen, Denmark. – had a nice ferry trip across to Denmark, then I slept until we arrived in Copenhagen. The club is in an area of town known as Christiania, which is a lake and parkland which has been seized by hippies and has seceded from civilized society. I think they only have 10 laws for this area and two of them are no cops and no cameras. Ni-ice! I woke up while we were driving down the dirt roads leading into the place, and saw little kids running alongside the bus and for a moment I thought we were in Kingston Town. The club was a groovy big wooden venue and some champ had sketched the cover of 'Dissimulate' on a blackboard out the front. About 100 metres from the club were the hash markets selling the finest tar from around the globe. The show was OK but again not too many people – about seventy or so. Some dude headbanging up the front got a knock or something, and bled all over my set list. No, I didn't do it. I didn't want to leave Copenhagen.
It was so funny. I had no idea what Christiania was about. I was soundchecking when one of the roadies ran in breathlessly going "Sam! SAAAAAAAM! Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod, you've got to see this…."
He walked me 50 metres down the road and we turned a corner. I saw all the market tents. I walked up to the first one. It had a trestle table with bricks of hash on it and a set of scales. A customer was sizing up different hash blocks and pointed at one of them. The stall-owner took the brick, got a hammer and chisel, and freaking CHISELLED off a hunk of hash as big as my fist. He put it on the scales, adjusted the weights, and looked at the customer questioningly. The customer gave him the thumbs up.
The remaining diary notes probably represent the only remaining bits of this tour any of us can remember.
14 mar Alte Spinnerei, Glauchau, Germany. – this show didn't happen due to cancellation caused by ill bands, and the aforementioned 11th hour demand from fool busdrivers and touring companies that we foot the bill for flying busdrivers in. We went to Berlin instead. Most of the guys ended up going out clubbing, but I was absolutely exhausted and ended up going to bed early on the bus. My lower lip has broken out in mask related pustules again. The tourbus stinks of piss and is utterly filthy. My head hurts. I think I've run out of puff. I wish I was one of these musicians that plays moderate speed metal, and stays in the one spot for the entire gig and never headbangs. No I don't.
By this day, I was officially broken.
15 mar East Club, Bischofswerda, Germany. – success! We got 80 people or so to this show! The club was this groovy, grim, dark place that was smack-bang in the middle of what I call 'vampire country'. The merch guy Greg revealed a talent for Cartman impressions during the microphone soundcheck. Glory – this place has heaps of food, a tv room and rooms with beds for sleeping. That's all I care about right now, food and sleep. I'm sure the gig went well, but screwed if I can remember any details from it. Ryan has started screwing up a couple of the songs, like playing 'Disregard' for too long. We all stop playing and moving, except for this American on the drums grinding away. I think he stopped caring somewhere around Hamburg. When the place closed up for the night, we found a couple of people hiding under the front desk. I think they missed their train back home and didn't want to have to spend the night sitting on the platform at the train station in vampire country.
16 mar Knaack-Klub, Berlin, Germany. – I understand now why Dillinger Escape Plan cut their European tour short. We keep hearing about how well we're doing in Germany and then we do a gig like this in a place like Berlin and we get a crowd of 40 or so people…aw, screw it. I met a couple of guys from a local thrash band afterwards who had been watching me play closely for the entire evening. Their english wasn't that flash but we still had a chat and they seemed impressed by the gig so I guess that's something. I'd love to come back and visit Germany off-tour and check it out and catch up with people, go clubbing and hitting all the tourist spots. I think it might have been today that I walked into a newsagent and read every single metal magazine on the shelf. Not one of them had an ad for our tour, or anything about it. Needless to say, Earache aren't getting sent tour diaries.
It's funny. When people over the years heard I played in a metal band they were all like "dude, you REALLY need to play Germany! They love metal there! Metal bands do really well!"
No, actually they don't. It's the same random spread of successful bands as you get in other countries. And people would get confused looks on their faces when they realised my world touring actually MEANT world touring. These would be the same people who were like, you in a band? My neighbor used to manage some local band who did well in our little local town, maybe they can manage you! And we'd be like, dude, I don't even know where to start explaining this to you.
17 mar Black Pes Club, Prague, Czech Republic – we got turned back at the border here. The promoter secured visas for everyone, except the Australians: us, in other words. I can't believe it, they were even going to let the Americans in, just not us! That idiot promoter, that absolutely incompetent little third-world fool. I think he did it on purpose, when we suggested he fax through details to the nearest town with a consulate in it so we could have a fighting chance of making the gig he immediately insisted we cancel instead. Probably has his little promoter advance from the label and has decided to keep it as it probably means millions in whatever pathetic currency he'll exchange it for. Fuck the music industry, there is shit like this everywhere and from the promoter and touring company side of things this has been just another ill-planned ill-promoted piece of shit tour. Our spirits are at an all time low. We have all heard how Prague is the pornstar capital of the world, and we have heard about their bars with cannabis infused vodka and absinthe and we were all looking heaps forward to going there. The Earache press broad has flown in especially for the gig just to find it ain't happening. If she does her job correctly, then the body of the promoter won't be found for at least another two months. All music industry maggot leech scum bastards want shooting. We drove to some remote shopping mall in Germany and went bowling.
I was pretty upset when I wrote this diary entry. We REALLY wanted to play in Prague. I notice I verge on outright xenophobia in this post, so my apologies to the Czechs and the Yanks. I had this exchange with the tour manager at the border:
"Can't we sneak in? Can't we beg the guards to let us through? Shit, doesn't bribery work in this part of the world?"
"Sam, they've got machine guns"
18 mar New Backstage Club, Munchen, Germany. – a great club area, but I just don't care anymore. Neither did the tiny crowd by the look of them. They just stood around with their arms crossed looking teutonic and unsatisfied much to the annoyance of December. I grabbed posters during our gig and threw them at the crowd like scrunched up baseballs, just wish I had a cigarette lighter on me so I could put more of a scare in them. Dickhead bus driver sat backstage eating all the food, again, talking shit to everyone about how we have to stay in Germany on our day off because Switzerland is "so fookin' expensive". Some cool dude let me try mint-flavoured snortable tobacco. Earache sent an email through to all the bands trying to keep our spirits up which we all pinned to the drinks refrigerator and laughed at. A friend from back in Oz was supposed to catch up with me at this gig and she didn't show. When I finally got onto her, she said she was tired from work and went to bed early that night – like it's every day I come touring through Germany with my band. Whatever. We have talked Baz into taking us to Garmish-Partenkirchen tomorrow. The place is an awesome ski resort and there is still plenty of snow around. I'll whip out the credit card and treat myself to a ski in Germany, something I have wanted to do all my life.
I guess by now that it was apparent that the inflatable sex-sheep sacrifice from Bristol wasn't working.
19 mar OFF – I was the first person to wake up, and the bus was moving : a bad sign. We were supposed to park at the lifts at the ski resort overnight so we could wake up and go skiing immediately. I went up front to the driver and asked him where he was going. He said we were going to Switzerland. I asked why we weren't going to the ski resort, and he mumbled some bullshit about Baz not asking him in the correct manner, and that it would take too long to get up the mountain, and that he tried to wake Baz to discuss it with him, and all sorts of other lies. This useless git was swearing black and blue yesterday that there was no way he'd go to Switzerland today, all of a sudden we had to get there urgently and at top speed? He keeps saying that without him, the almighty bus driver, the tour wouldn't happen. Oh well, tough shit, Luke woke up and immediately screamed at the top of his voice "WHERE'S THE FUCKING SNOW?!!!!!!" then ranted right in the bastard's face for a full half hour. For once I was happy to see him scream at someone. Fuck this bussie, and fuck the touring company too…what are they called, Frontier Touring or something? Adam? Well screw the lot of them, these losers are off my Christmas card list. On the Swiss border we laid all the merchandise out on a grassy oval and took our pick of the goodies, just in case customs decided to charge us on potential profit. We were limited to 10 items each but I went way over my limit and stocked up on shirts, jeans, cds…all the things I won't be able to afford for the next 8 months while I try and pay off the cost of touring. Baz retrieved this shocker of a day by getting the bus to park in a nice alpine town with an awesome water park. Luke, Jay (the drummer from December), and myself were the only ones to go to the park and we had a ball. I was nearly killed on one of the waterslides. I went down riding a rubber tube and went sideways over a drop then banged my head on a corner and fell off, bleeding from the nose. Jay from December came banging around the corner and cleaned me up, then Luke came flying right over the top of us. The last thing I saw was his feet going right over Jay and coming straight at my face.We got stern words from the Swiss attendant at the bottom of the slide. We had so much fun at this place, we were like giggling kids and all the stress of the past couple of weeks disappeared.
On a brutal death metal tour for the world-famous grind label Earache Records, our favourite bit was playing on the waterslides in Switzerland.
Picking the merch was a close second though. It felt like heavy-metal Christmas. By the time I loaded the merch back in my luggage – which was under the mattress of my bunk – there was almost no room for me to squeeze in. My bunk was like those 'hug-boxes' that they make for autistic children who can't handle being touched. I hang a lot of shit on Earache but I'll say this, they were super generous when it came to giving their bands free merch.
20 mar Dynamo Club, Zurich, Switzerland. – my last show with Berzerker. We were fed like kings and I squeezed some sightseeing in around Zurich which has to be the most beautiful town I have been to. There was a big anti-war protest march which I infiltrated with merchman Ben and filmed some interviews with the young peaceniks. When I got back someone had blown up my compressor and the venue was getting it fixed. It's not a Berzerker show if some equipment doesn't blow up or malfunction, and I guess it was the 8 track and drum trigger's night off. I had a couple of friends I met in Amsterdam on my Christmas break turn up which was great, it's just nice to hang with non-music industry people sometimes. When December played we turned the smoke machines around and blew fog into their brains, and we tried to tackle the guitarists of Corporation 187 while they were playing. Their singer used his remote mike to play pranks on us during our set, yodelling over the PA during Burnt. I went supernuts for the gig and when the set was finished Luke jumped onto the drum kit and we tried out another couple of tracks, I think February was one of them. It was a bit of a mess, but what the hey. I think I fell backwards over the foldback and off the stage on the last song. I still can't work out how I didn't get injured. Luke and I were shellshocked after the gig…all those shows…we were just sitting around going "That's it. That's it. It's over". I went out the front of the venue and had a drink by the river. I thought about jumping in it for a while. I have no idea what I'm going to do next.
When that show ended and my friends left, we sat in the bar part of the venue and started drinking. Luke and I shook hands, looked at each other and went "We made it. We did it". I drank some more and thought about all the touring we'd done, the shows, the places we'd been to. Eventually I got up and went outside. The club was on a river. I walked a hundred meters down along the river or so until I was sure I was by myself, then burst into tears. We arrived home a week later.
It was not my last Berzerker tour.

Testimonial From a Satisfied Client
We Consider the selection of an experienced realtor to be integral to a successful real estate purchase. We retained the services of Jerry Hodson to assist us in the purchase of a summer home in Star Valley Ranch, Wyoming area. Jerry listened to us as we described the king of propery we were looking for, provided us with excellent service as we narrowed our search, and was very helpful when it came time for us to make our offer to the seller. On an earlier transaction, Jerry saved us a lot of money by including contractual contingencies in our offer. When the seller balked at the contingencies in our offer, we avoided any possible consequences by voiding the transaction. Jerry's attention to detail and level of service make him a truly outstanding realtor.

In a bid to establish mutually-beneficial relations with major economic growth centers in the Asia-Pacific region, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) has recently signed a sister-port agreement with Guangxi, considered to be China's gateway to the ASEAN countries.
Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairman Feliciano Salonga signed the agreement recently with Ye Shi Xiang, who chairs the Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port (Group) Co., Ltd.
The company administers three major ports in the Guangxi Zhang Autonomous Region, and is now undertaking projects for a marine terminal and a logistics base.
Salonga said that upon his invitation, Ye has also agreed to attend this year's conference of the International Network of Affiliated Ports (INAP) that will be hosted by the SBMA on October 28-29 at the Subic Bay Exhibition and Convention Center here.
The SBMA head said the sister-port agreement between Subic and Guangxi is expected to pave the way for stronger economic ties with China, which is emerging as a global economic power.
"Our proximity to China is one edge that Subic must exploit to its advantage," Salonga explained.
In the case of Guangxi, the demand for mineral products like iron ore and nickel "could be the basic platform to jumpstart the volume of shipment between the two ports," he said.
"We must also learn to match the use of our country's resources with current and emerging global situations," Salonga said.
"This is why we have fast-tracked the completion of the 600,000-TEU New Container Terminal (NCT 1 and 2) project here in Subic to boost our bid to become a major maritime industry player," he added.
Salonga said that since the SBMA has refocused its development efforts towards the maritime industry as a cornerstone, the port of Subic had initiated tie-ups with major ports around the world, aside from playing a more active role in INAP of which it is a founding member.
In October last year, a cooperation agreement between Subic and Maryland's Foreign Trade Zone led to a sister-port link-up between Subic and the port of Baltimore, now the top-ranking port in the U.S. East Coast.
This month, another sister-port agreement will be signed by Subic with the port of San Diego, in California, he said.
Salonga also said that as host of the coming INAP conference, the SBMA had already sent invitations to member ports, including the ports of Colombo in Sri Lanka, Qingdao in China, Tanjang Peak in Indonesia, Kochi in Japan, Iquique in Chile, Mokpo Newport in South Korea, and the port of Cebu.
In the conference to be held here in October, INAP is expected to be joined by two other ports: Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia, and Kaohsiung in Taiwan.
South Korea's Mokpo Newport, meanwhile, has requested the SBMA for additional invitations for its governor, mayor and the director-general of its maritime office, Salonga said. (SBMA Corporate Communications)

text: WASHINGTON -- Lawmakers returning to Capitol Hill this week face a bruising fight over whether to curtail poverty programs. A showdown is expected between conservative House Republicans and their more moderate Senate counterparts as congressional negotiators try to resolve differences in cost-cutting measures GOP leaders argue are necessary to cut the deficit. The problems spending poses were underscored last week by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, whose gloomy economic forecast weighed on the stock market. Democrats and advocates for the poor argue that program reductions are the price for Bush administration tax cuts that largely benefit higher income brackets. The budget reduction proposals will minimally trim the growth of future spending for Medicaid, food stamps and other programs. The changes come as a handful of states are dealing with the immediate and long-term costs of providing support for families displaced by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, is leading efforts to win approval of what he describes as desperately needed Medicaid reform that he says will not hurt the poor. "All we are doing is nipping and tucking around the edges," said Barton, noting the changes were developed in part by a bipartisan group of governors under the auspices of the National Governors Association. Specifically, the $48 billion House bill would reduce Medicaid spending by giving states the option of reducing benefits and imposing premiums and co-payments on beneficiaries. It also would reduce payments for prescription drugs and make it more difficult for seniors to dispose of assets so they can qualify for long-term nursing home care. The House also seeks to tighten eligibility for food stamps. That would cut off 220,000 people nationwide. The proposals include a provision requiring legal immigrants to wait seven years to receive food stamps instead of five years. The Senate's smaller $35 billion package contains fewer savings in poverty programs and would reduce funds the government pays to encourage private insurance companies to participate in Medicare. The White House opposes the provision. The House bill also would clamp down on seniors seeking nursing home care from Medicaid by making individuals with more than $500,000 in home equity ineligible for benefits. Proponents such as Barton argue the elderly are soaking up two-thirds of Medicaid's funds, denying benefits that were intended for the poor. Stan Collender, a budget analyst and managing director at Financial Dynamics in Washington, finds elements of truth on both sides. The overall size of cuts is small but individual beneficiaries are likely to be hurt by higher costs or a loss of benefits. "This will affect real folks, and they will feel it," Collender said. Jennifer Ng'andu, a health policy analyst at the National Council of La Raza, said the choices will be unpleasant ones for food stamp recipients. "With heating prices expected to soar this winter, we're going to see people having to choose between whether they feed their families or whether they freeze," she said. The House proposals would reduce future Medicaid spending growth by just 0.3 percent each year, allowing the program to continue growing 7 percent annually over the next five years. The House is expected to vote on a $56 billion package of tax cuts after they return this week. The Senate, which does not return to the Capitol for another week, already approved a different mix of $59.6 billion in tax breaks.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks ended a choppy trading session mostly lower on Friday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the extraordinary measures undertaken by the central bank to boost the economic recovery.
The S&P 500 SPX, -1.91% slipped less than a point to end at 1,831.37, leaving it down 0.5% for the week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.02% closed up 28.64 points, or 0.2%, at 16,469.99, but finished the week marginally lower.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, -2.26% shed 11.16 points, or 0.3%, to 4,131.91 on Friday and lost 0.6% for the week.
Volumes on Wall Street were thin, with many traders still on vacation. Also, a major storm in the Northeast hampered travel and states of emergency were declared in New York and New Jersey.
"Next week volumes will rise as market participants will be back to work and investors will be reallocating portfolios for 2014," said Channing Smith, managing director at Capital Advisors.
U.S. stocks perked up briefly in the afternoon after the Fed Chairman Bernanke spoke at the American Economics Association conference. He defended Fed policy, including its asset-buying program.
Last month, the Fed said it would reduce its monthly asset purchases by $10 billion to $75 billion, but stressed it was committed to low interest rates until further declines in the unemployment rate. Critics of the bond-buying program see the Fed's $4 trillion balance sheet as a potential future cause of inflation, while proponents worry the withdrawal of monetary stimulus will hamper the economic recovery.
During the session, markets reacted negatively to comments by Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser, who said the central bank may have to be "aggressive" in raising interest rates. Plosser is known for his hawkish views and becomes a voting Federal Open Market Committee member this year.
Investors digested data on December car sales, which are often seen as a barometer of consumer confidence. Ford Motor Co. F, +0.24% the second-largest auto maker, reported a 2% gain in net sales in December to 218,058 vehicles. Analysts expected a 5.9% gain. Ford shares closed 0.5% higher, after earlier weakness.
Privately owned Chrysler Group LLC reported a 5.7% increase in sales last month to 161,007 units, missing analysts' expectations.
General Motors Co. GM, -0.03% shares dropped 3.4% after the car maker reported a decline in U.S. vehicle sales for December to 230,157 units, down 6.3% from a year ago, while analysts expected a rise of 0.8%.
FireEye Inc. FEYE, -0.21% shares surged nearly 39%. The computer-security firm on Thursday said it acquired Mandiant Corp., a company known for its report linking cyberattacks on U.S. companies to the Chinese military that was published in early 2013, in a deal worth about $1 billion.
Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL, -0.07% climbed 5.5% after the firm said its passenger unit revenue was up 10% in December.
Rite Aid Corp. RAD, -1.44% advanced 8.5% after the drugstore chain said same-store sales increased 2.9% in December over the same period a year ago, due to growth in its pharmacy division.
Shares of Twitter Inc. TWTR, -0.06% rose 2.2%.
Sprint Corp. S, -1.65% shares fell 4.4%. They declined 3.3% on Thursday after a downgrade from Cowen & Co. to a market perform rating from outperform, even as the firm raised its price target on Sprint to $8.25 from $7.50.
Owens Illinois Inc. OI, +0.00% fell 1.9%. Analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch reportedly downgraded the glass company to neutral from buy, according to the Analyst Ratings Network.

Acura RL Prices Paid and Buying Experience
I just purchased one from the dealership you were trying to receive a quote from yesterday. I paid 43,300 out the door for everything (mats, wheel locks, mud flaps, TTL, destination fee + dealer fees). I could have traveled another 50-100 miles and bettered that price by $500, but the sales tax difference made me decide to go ahead with the transaction. I'm satisfied.
2.9% APR over three years is a hard deal to beat and it is currently going to end at the end of the month. Besides that, with the incredible rebates on the '06 model, sales are pretty good.
For those who are thinking about buying one, get on with it before they are gone!0
NYVA- thanks for your post. what were the fees for TTL. Pohanka is $299 for processing, right?0
I believe so, but again, I paid $43,300 to the penny for everything out the door.
I should add that I was looking at a few other vehicles - GS300,Infiniti M35x and BMW 540. The argument can be made that those other vehicles are better in certain comparisons with the RL, but despite your favorite of the bunch, hands down, IMHO, you just cannot get the value you get from the RL.0
As I was shopping for a Lexus with my girlfriend, on a whim we stopped into two Acura dealerships here in SoCal. Dealership #1 had 11 RLs on the lot and #2 had 9 RLs. I looked at the manufacturing date of three vehicles on each lot. Two were stamped in January, three in February and one in March. These cars are not moving. Acura will keep some incentive going at least through October.
On a similar note, shopping for the Lexus was interesting in there were few people looking at cars. I asked the salesperson why so few people (at one of the larger sales volume Lexus dealers in the west). Answer (which was obvious) was only knuckleheads like me and my g/f would go out in 100 degrees + heat (and high humidity) looking at cars!
Which leads to me saying that if a large Lexus dealer has few people in their showroom on a Sunday afternoon (due to the hot weather), sales in all dealerships throughout SoCal should be down for July. Here we've had record hot temperatures most of this month as has much of the nation. Deals on Acuras and other cars I think will be very sweet in the next couple months due in part to the hot weather.0
I cannot beg to differ with your perspective, but I will say in my area these cars are moving - and quickly. I bought my car through the largest Acura dealership in the world and there wasn't much to select from. SoCal has more of a "keeping up with the Joneses" thing going on so I'm thinking it is perfunctory for many to automatically go for Lex, BMW and MBs.
I started to myself but I like it even more now that I own one.0
Just wanted to say thanks to all that post on this forum. It helped guide me to my offer. I think I did pretty well. Here are the particulars of the deal:
$41,325 included destination, splash guards, wheel locks, trunk tray, all season mats
$185 processing, title, tags
I also added a few interior and exterior accessories
Wood Select Knob
Wood-Look and Leather Steering Wheels
Deck Lid Spoiler
Back-Up Sensor
Total for accessories $1966 (parts + installation)0
Congrats. I started to add most of the accessories you mentioned (I want the back-up camera instead of the sensor), but the price list the dealer showed was WAY more than just ordering it from eStore and having the dealer install them after the fact.0
Just purchased 2006 RL for 40,600.00 including destination and also they included splash guard. Total out the door 43,164.00. Forum rocks.0
xando05 Posts: 42Everytime I look at the new RL I try to convince myself it is an expensive luxury sedan. It looks as luxurious as a Maxima or Altima. The car's design doesn't have that "wow" or "Oooh" appeal factor that some other luxury nameplates have.
Although Acura builds a great automobile, Acura lacks important design features to help set 'em apart from other high end makes. Acura is supposed to be the Luxury division of Honda but I'm not convinced. Look at Infiniti's designs throughout the model lineup and you'll clearly see the vast difference in future design clues. The Acura TL has a flat back off the trunkline. Is it a Scion or or an Acura?
I would really consider the RL in the near future, but it doesn't make sense in the dollar and cents catagory. No real bang for the buck. Just my two SENSE/CENTS.0
Your comments are duly noted.....but you obviously have not been inside one.0
dallasjustice Posts: 3Test drive a new RL and test drive a new M35 with all wheel drive and navigation. Then tell me how the M35 is worth more than $10,000 than the RL. I can't wait to hear it.
Just to spark the debate, the RL is a better value (no doubt). But the resale if you're an owner is terrible. If you lease the car, you made a bad deal (financially). Residual stinks and the money factor Acura offers is not competitive. If both these figures were more attractive, then the RL is a bargain x10!
With that said, as an RL owner I am in the process of cutting my losses, selling the car and looking at either leasing the upcoming Lexus GS350 or an M35. The RL has been virtually trouble free and a pleasure to drive. But a car is not an investment. Of the competition, short and long term dollars are better spent elsewhere.
On a side note, unless you will own the car 10+ years, in this day of hi-tech gadgetry and disposal components, I'm swaying that its better to lease then own. Here in L.A., the market is drying up for used cars sold by private parties in the $4,000 - $15,000 price range. People are either leasing cars or buying from a dealer that offers a 30 day warranty. I don't want to expand further as this may not be the right forum for this discussion. But my eyes have opened wider realizing that a car is not an investment and leasing is becoming more attractive.0
breld Posts: 4,161To start, I drive a TSX and my wife an MDX, so clearly I'm a fan of Acura. But I find the M35 more appealing than the RL in many ways. The styling, inside and out, may be love it or hate it, but I believe it has more character than the relatively ho-hum styling of the RL. And the driving dynamics are different as well - RWD bias AWD along with a generally sportier feel (with little sacrifice on comfort). IMO, what both these cars need is an extra gear.
Having said all that, the RL is certainly not overpriced at the market prices they're going for right now. Low $40's for the features you're getting is a good value to me. And it's that value that keeps the RL on my list. I'm curious to see if August incentives increase at all. $3k is quite an incentive - maybe another $500-$1k before year-end?
And, FWIW, I'm pretty sure a M35x with nav can be had for perhaps $5k more than the RL - not chump change, but not the $10k previously mentioned.

am odessa,
Great price on an RL in the metro west area.
I offered to buy a new RL from Herb Connolly's internet sales manager for the same price today.
This was their response:
"Regarding the deal in question the customer did infact pay $40,700 plus fees, but they did not include the fact that they had a trade in. The vehicle they traded in was something we saw good value in it for resale, so that is how they were able to get such an amazing deal."
I interpret their response as "No we cannot sell you a 2006 RL for that price".
Any additional info. regarding your purchase would be helpful.
powerchief Posts: 5I have dealer ready to sell me the 06RL for $40,500 but have yet to get to the point of discussing the "dealer fees". Have people been generally paying the destination fee or is this usually included when you have purchased the RL? I think I am getting a fair deal but want to make sure they don't get me on the fees.....0
Be careful that the price is inclusive of the delivery fee, which dealers seem to believe is a separate fee to be added on after you agree to a price. This fee is contained within the MSRP so I don't know why they think it is appropriate to attempt to add it after the fact.
If they honor that price, I would not harp too much if they added $100-$300 dollars in their dealer fees, even though the prep of the vehicle is also listed within the MSRP.
Do the math yourself - include the quoted price, TTL and no more than $300 in fees. I would walk if they come up with one penny beyond that.0
My delivery fee was included in the 40,600.00 purchase price. title fee 68.00, doc fee 55.00 and also the 6% sales tax. Nothing else.0
Seems like we all are managing to get deals on this vehicle that we can live with.
While I did not consider this when I first started posting, and as I saw a recent comment speak to trade-ins which the dealer may have made his money on you from the transaction, I did not trade-in any vehicle when I purchased.
In the interest of full disclosure for those who are weighing our comments, I think this is valuable information to consider when making your vehicle purchase.0
fluid15 Posts: 60I stopped by the Acura dealer to pick up a brochure on the RL. I sat in one and was impressed. I was running errands and didn't have time for a test drive.
The $41k pricing sounds very good, that certainly has my attention. But don't forget that even though it's new, it's already 1 yr old on the market since the 2007's are being released by manufacturers already. So the price reflects a 1yr old RL but you get a new one.0
carlva Posts: 4I just bought a 2006 RL without tech package from Pohanka in chantilly VA on Thursday July 28th. The price for the car (including destination fee) was $40,800. The other fees I had to pay were $299 for processing fee, taxes (3% in VA) and tags ($32).
I thought it was an insanely good deal. If you go to Pohanka, start off at $40K as your bottom line price and then you can negotiate up to $40,800. I made one concession at $40,500 and said it was my final offer but then they came back with that price but snuck in the $615 destination charge and I said no way. $40,800 was the compromise. So plan to have your salesmen go back and forth with the sales manager, but if you're patient, you can get the car at a great price.
I didn't buy any accessories as they are much cheaper online.
I've seen the comments on the Infiniti M35 and BMW 5 series and GS350 AWD and if you price out similarly equipped cars, you're looking at $52K+. Are these cars worth 20% more? No Way...
Great car, awesome combination of performance, luxury and technology.0
suzintn Posts: 19Does anyone know?0
I don't think so. The RDX's competition is the BMW X3, Ford Escape, etc. while the MDX wants some of the the BMW X5 & Lexus RX 350 customers.0
Great deal.
I had the dealer that, I leased my last 2 RL's from, quote me a 45k+ price on an 06 last week (no trade).
Is anyone getting deals like this (without a trade)in the New England area? If so can you post the details (dealer + financial info. etc).
Anyone know how to figure out if the dealer incentive will be extended or modified in August?
I have an 04 RL lease car that must be returned in less than a month.
RL's are still sitting on the lot. If history is any indicator, either Acura will extend the $3,000 cash back to dealers or offer a lease incentive. We'll know the answer in a couple days.0
joeblow Posts: 11Hello,
I need some help. It seems like people have been negotiating a great purchase price of around $40500 for Acura RL without Technology package.
I was interested in the cost of the A-Spec package. I think it makes the car look sharper and should improve handling/sportiness?
1.What is the invoice/best price for the full A-Spec add on?
2.Can anyone comment on how it effects the cars driving characterstics?
Thank you !!!0
donc5 Posts: 1I found this forum very helpful when buying the RL so here is my contribution.
We purchased yesterday, Sunday July 31 from Escondido Acura (San Diego). The price was $46,169 + doc fee of $29 for the RL with tech package, plus a few extras like wheel locks, trunk tray, etc. I might have been able to get a slightly better price but we ended up with the nice and speedy purchase at a dealer with a very good service department.
I was surprised we could finance the entire purchase, including sales tax, at the 2.9% rate.0
This forum has been most helpful. Yesterday July 31, 2006, We purchased an Acura RL 2006 with NON TECH Package for $40,800 + TTL (Final out the door price of $43,346. This includes Sales tax, title, tags etc). The dealership was Radley Acura in Virginia. Additionally, We financed the vechicle at 2.9% APR financing offerred by Honda.0
gvr4wd Posts: 23tarunkalra1,
How did you do it? Over the phone, internet, or just walked-in? I've been looking to get a RL in DC area and received a quote of $42K from Tischer....0
I just called the internet sales manager and told the manager that I am ready to buy the car now and would like to know if he can do the deal. First he gave me $42K quote (based on some invoice discount) and them agreed to do the $40800 but tried to add $695 destination charge. All I told him was the price was not negotiable. It all happened in less than 2 minutes. He agreed and I asked for directions to the dealership. We met, completed paperwork - was a fast process. He is a very nice person. Please verify that the $3000 Acura rebate is still on and did not expire on Jul 31, 2006. The manufacturer normally extends.0
Gave a friend the dealers name and sales person I dealt with 40,600.00. When he called today selling price was 43,500.00 the incentives or rebate with the low finance has expired. When you snooze you lose.0

THE KENNEDY family is in the news. Again.
And so is the woman allegedly raped by a member of the Kennedy clan, even though her name would not have appeared in the newspapers nor her face on TV had she accused nearly any other man in America.
Most newspapers don't publish the names of rape victims. But since there was a celebrity, or, in this case, a celebrated family involved, a British tabloid broke the rule -- and as it did, many other journalists abandoned their policies, claiming it was permissible to publish her name because "they did it first."

I'd heard the rumors
'Bout 4 month sleep regression.
Thought, "Nah, that's not us."
"Alana is great;
We're sleeping 8 full hours!"
Sweet naivete.
Back to fractured sleep –
Just how long will this phase last?
Mommy needs a nap…
But also caffeine!
So many things to be done –
A child to rear!
Two cups of coffee,
It's time to be productive!
But first, I must nurse…
Three hours later
And we're asleep on the couch.
The nap always wins.

Quick Reference
The plays of Seneca exercised great influence on medieval playwrights, who used them as models for literary imitation. They were edited by Nicholas Trivet, and in the 15th and 16th cents there was a considerable vogue in Italy for Senecan tragedy. The plays of Giraldi (1504–73)—notably his Orbecche (1541)—and of Ludovico Dolce (1508–68) were particularly famous. The same movement in France had its effect on Buchanan's Latin plays and on the plays of Jodelle and Garnier, and both the Italian and the French fashion influenced English drama in the 16th cent.
The characteristics of the Senecan tragedy were:

She has also been named Consulting Editor-at-Large of Fine Cooking Magazine and is slated to open Copita, a seasonal, sustainable local Mexican restaurant and tequileria in Sausalito, California partnering with restaurateur extraordinaire, Larry Mindel May 2012.
Awarded the very first IACP Julia Child Cooking Teacher Award of Excellence, Joanne shares a lifetime of experience that flavors everything she touches. Her first book, From Tapas to Meze (Crown, 1994,) was nominated for a James Beard Award and selected by Julia Child as one of her 12 personal favorites out of 1000 cookbooks published that year.

From there she went on to publish many books including James Beard nominated You Say Tomato (Broadway Books 1998). Her talents were finally brought to life in the PBS series "Weir Cooking in the Wine Country", shot on location in the Napa Valley.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are a great starting point for a simple weeknight dinner. But, when you remove the skin from the chicken, lots of flavor is lost. This assertive mix of fresh goat cheese, briney black olives, and fresh-from-the-garden oregano, flat-leaf parsley, and thyme really enhances the natural flavors of the chicken.

Report: Earth's computers are wide open to a virus attack from Little Green Men.
As if spotty teenagers releasing computer viruses on to the internet from darkened rooms were not enough of a headache. According to a scientific report, planet Earth's computers are wide open to a virus attack from Little Green Men.
The concern is raised in the next issue of the journal Acta Astronautica by Richard Carrigan, a particle physicist at the US Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois. He believes scientists searching the heavens for signals from extra-terrestrial civilisations are putting Earth's security at risk, by distributing the jumble of signals they receive to computers all over the world.
