Toyota Prius Lease Questions
Post your next generation Prius leasing questions here.
lakemorey Posts: 2Hello, do you know when the new Prius lease rates will be available?0
jackomo Posts: 11I received a lease quote for a new 2010 Prius Model II. It is a 3rd party with no money down (except license and taxes). They say you can leave the lease at any point after 6 months with no penalty.
Payment $283
Term: 60 months
Residual: $11,830
Money factor: 0.00265
I would like to know from others if this is a good deal?0
kac035 Posts: 3May I ask at what dealership you got this deal?
This is the deal I was offered on a 2010 model 2 prius. No add ons, totally basic style.
$1,375 out of pocket (includes 1st payment and license fees)
36 months, 12,000 miles a year, $398 a month which includes tax.
I live in Los Angeles.
Can someone tell me if this is a good deal or I can most likely do better?
Thank you!0
Hi lakemorey. Toyota has finally published a lease program for the 2010 Prius. Not surprisingly given the number of orders that it has for the car and its thin margins, Toyota is not currently providing any lease support on it.
Toyota Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Prius with 15,000 miles per year are .00265 and 67% for consumers who qualify for its top aka Tier 1+ credit tier.
Keep in mind though that unlike most banks TFS places restrictions upon which options can be residualized, making it difficult for consumers to calculate the actual dollar residual values for individual units.

It's a great deal0
not a good deal. the deal should be the same but your monthly payment should be $350 including tax and with mats included. Ceretos Toyota deals0
Hi Tarlis,
I got a little more info regarding the deal I was given for the lease,
msrp at 22,938
residual factor of 15,180
money factor of .00265
Where are they off? I was wondering how the pricing could get to $350 with tax.
osu18 Posts: 18Car_man or anybody else out there, do you have any info the money factor and residual for 36k/36months on the 2010 Prius? I saw only info with the 15k miles a year. Thanks in advance.0
bakkerj Posts: 9I posted this deal in the prices paid forum, but it is actually a lease. So I thought I'd post here for your information.
Sales price: $28,888
MF was 0.00265
Payment worked out to $466 including tax. Without tax it was $423, or something. I live in alameda county, which I believe has the highest sales tax in the state at 9.75% or something.
I don't have the residual in front of me, but I can get it for anyone interested.0
Hi osu18. Toyota Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Prius with 12,000 miles per year are .00265 and 69%, respectively.
Keep in mind though that TFS calculates vehicles' residual values differently than other banks. The residual value percentages that it publishes are for base vehicles. It places restrictions upon what options can be residualized. As a result, it is very difficult for consumers to calculate the actual dollar residual values for specific units.

aga3 Posts: 2I would like to lease Prius 2 no options i am in chicago what should be my monthly
payment including tax with $2500 down ?0
kwei Posts: 1Hi bakkerj,
We're actually in the process of leasing a Prius IV. I was wondering what your residual is as well as the adjusted cap cost (final price paid including fees and taxes).
We have similar numbers to you but somehow our numbers are ending up around $570/month. We live in Chicago so our sales tax is higher (10.25%!) but we're just trying to figure out how people are getting their numbers down into the 400s.
Also, did you put any money down?
ealexand Posts: 1I'm trying to be conservative with my numbers so I'm not shocked when i get to the dealership. Does this look right for a 3y/36k lease?
Prius III
Price: $24,000
Money Factor: .00265
Residual: 65%
$0 down - Pre-Tax: $326
$2k down - pre-tax: $266
If i got them to quote me with $2k down and offered to pay that monthly payment, but would only put $1k down do you think they would go for it?
Thank you for the help
Thank you for the help0
Hi ealexand. I assume that the $24,000 number that you mentioned is this car's selling price and not its MSRP. Is that correct? It would be much easier for me to give you my opinion on this deal if you provided us with both numbers.

I plan to pay it off early but my 6 year loan was $507/mo w/ no money down for a V w/ NAV +taxes (approx $31,500). After 48 months I'll owe $11,500 so if it is worth $16500 I would be able to build some equity as a down payment on a new car.0
newyork4me Posts: 6Car_man,
Would you happen to know what the September residuals / money factor are for 36 month leases (12k and 15k/yr)?
The past residuals seem awesome, but the MF is kinda high. Anyway to "buy it down" with multiple security deposits?0
sas9 Posts: 28I just leased a 2010 model 4, leather and nav.
$1000 out of pocket and $402 month, 48 months.
I paid $750 over invoice, $1435 off MSRP.
I love it so far but I've only had it 3 days and I"m still getting used to everything. It's alot of car for me to learn and I know that once I settle in, I'm going to enjoy it.0
wakked1 Posts: 3Anyone know the current terms of the Prius II "special" lease in northern CA? Best I can get so far seems to be around 72% residual with .00265 MF and 650 acquisition fee for 12K/year.0
shellz Posts: 45That residual looks great. In DC, for a Prius 3-5, the best I'm seeing .00261 and a 66% residual for 3 years, 12,000 miles a year. And I just received an e-mail from Alexandria Toyota offering $100 above invoice (their initial offer was about $1100 over).0
Hi wakked1. The money factor and residual value that you were quoted for this car look right to me. Despite the fact that Toyota is advertising a lease payment on the Prius in your area, this program is not actually special. I believe that its advertised Prius lease in CA is based upon TFS' standard lease program.

pepper14 Posts: 5Wakked1...FYI.
Just leased a 2010 Prius IV from Toyota of Santa Monica.
Black with dark gray leather interior. Solar sunroof with navigation. Floor and cargo mats. Rear bumper applique. MSRP $31.499. Invoice $29,556. Agreed upon value: $28, 369.12. Gross capitalized cost: $29,239.12 (agreed upon plus $650 acquisition fee and $220 for tinting windows, which they threw-in for free at end). Residual value: $19,839. M.F.: .00265
36 months, 12K miles per year. $2900 drive-off ($1896.01 cap cost reduction, $365.99 1st month, $395 title, reg, lic fees, $184.86 tax on cap cost reduction, $45 doc prep fee, $8.75 CA tire fee, $4.59 tax on doc fee). $365.99 per month (including tax).0
Carman, My wife wanted a 2010 red Prius V with Nav. Had a hard time finding one and had to wait for one to be rerouted from another dealer and it came in last week with carmats. The MSRP was $31,329.00 and the Invoice was $29, 817. The dealer agreed to sell it to us for $29,467 but had to pay a dealer fee of $699.50. I decided to lease the car for 36 months, 12,000 miles per year. I paid $1701 down to cover Cap. cost reduction-$178.70, 1st mo. payment - $519.58, Dealer fee-$699.50 and Title and registration,waste etc,-$303.22. The agreed upon value was $29467 but the Gross cap cost was $30362 -explained as a $895.00 acquisition fee for Southeast Toyota Finance. I thought this a bit high but they told me that was what it was. The cap cost reduction was $178.70 for an adjusted cap cost of $430183.30. The residual value is $17690 0 depreciation 412493.30 and a outrageous rent charge of $5153,82, Total Base mo payments - $17646.12. The monthly payment is $519.58 about $30 more a month than they quoted me in Dec. Did I get screwed? I feel Like I did but my wife wanted the car bad so I got it for her. Carman please advise0
mtena Posts: 58The California offer sounds similar to the one advertised here in Washington state:
2010 Toyota Prius Lease (Model #1223)
$279 per month plus tax for 36 months
$1,995 due at signing lease
Not sure which equipment codes these are for, as I've just started into the possibility of leasing.0
CarMan, (or anyone else with data)
If you could, would you please share the residual and MF for a 2010 Prius IV at 12k/36 here in the Southeast? I've seen numbers all over the place on various forums. Thanks for the help!
Pantherman12 - I know it's a moot point now, but I just leased a Prius in the Southeast as well. The acquisition fee was $695 as quoted by several different dealers, and your dealer fee is probably the highest I've ever seen. That said, I can empathize with the challenge of dealing with your wife's dream car... mine just had to have a red package IV .0
roho1 Posts: 318Just came from a SET Toyota dealer the other day and the acquisition fee was $995.
The day before the sales stoppage.
I just stopped in to test drive a Prius but they also tried to use the old school boiler room sales tactics on me. They were more inerseted in selling me a Venza than Prius. Air head salesman comes out with MSRP offer, I say no he goes back to mgr and the offer comes back down a couple hundred, I say no and the mgr comes out and says what do I have to do to get your business, etc and on and on. Needless to say I walked out. I can't believe Toyota is still using this cave man style of sales. I'm going to use the internet for offers from now on.0
I would like to know how much if any does the dealer get from the aquisition fee. If they get some of it they certaintly do not disclose it.0

- Goal and Scope
- Rationale and Payoffs
Computer facilities are expensive to build and maintain, so being able to share cycles across the Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) represents a more effective way to utilize IT resources. In addition, laboratory requirements for computing and data storage are growing rapidly in response to the increased flow and availability of data through its facilities to support (1) increasingly complex models, (2) new areas of research such as ensembles, data assimilation, and coupled models, and (3) the creation and integration of new high resolution datasets coming from next-generation observational platforms. The widespread acceptance and use of the web, coupled with recent advancements in distributed computing offer tremendous benefit to NOAA and ESRL if fully explored and developed.
Distributed computing encompasses both web services and grid computing. Web services can be simple (authorization, searching, naming, registry) or complex, combining multiple services into a complex service that encompasses the comprehensive requirements of an application. Creating services to accomplish common tasks allows an organization to reduce the effort required to develop, port, and maintain its hardware and software systems. Grid computing extends the web services concept by providing task and resource management functions across heterogeneous computing environments. Compute grids can be deployed at a local level or encompass computing facilities around the nation. Data grids can provide an "umbrella" technology to link ESRL data into a more coherent and integrated system. Grid and web services can be built using commercially available tools; no research or development of grid or web tools will be done.
NOAA's IT infrastructure is currently a set of independent systems that were developed over time to support its diverse programs and requirements. NOAA must integrate its computational resources to reduce costs, to improve systems utilization, to support new scientific challenges and to run and verify increasingly complex models using next generation high-density data streams. NOAA needs integrated IT systems capable of handling the rapid increase in data volumes from expected launches of GOES-R, NPOESS, and the Earth Observation System.
ESRL can develop a secure, flexible, robust, adaptable IT infrastructure, based on grid and web technologies that showcase what is possible for the larger NOAA community.
Benefits include:
- development of a coordinated data management structure which permits research groups within the laboratory to create, locate and share data
- incorporation of technology such as grid meta-schedulers to permit scientists to share compute resources more effectively
- cost savings enabled by sharing resources, better collaborations, improved efficiency, and adaptable to changing demands and requirements of the organization
- Earth System Research Laboratory Development
- Physical Sciences Division: is investigating web services and service registries necessary for building a web-based infrastructure at ESRL.
- Global Systems Division: is exploring both web services and grid computing in areas including meta-scheduling and portal development with GFDL and PMEL. Users
- Chemical Sciences Division: uses the WRF and MM5 models for atmospheric chemistry research and prediction and will benefit by the availability of a web / grid infrastructure.
- Global Systems Division: strong involvement in the development and testing of WRF and has a critical need for significant network, data and compute resources.
- NCEP/EMC: coordinated modeling efforts on WRF development require the large -scale compute and data resources at the Boulder Laboratories. The creation of a grid infrastructure and web services can simplify and coordinate mutually beneficial activities.
- NESDIS/NCDC: The NOMADS project archives model data that can be used to initialize WRF and other models. NOMADS and FSL have been exploring opportunities to make this data available via web protocols including OpenDAP and web services.
- NESDIS/NGDC: will provide direct and local access to satellite and gridded data via the CLASS project, and is interested in collaborating with ESRL in a NOAA grid.
- NOAA CIO Office: Unified NOAA design and application of information systems.
- NOS and NMFS: Design and application of models to marine systems.

text: The World Health Organization describes sexual health as "a state of physical, mental and social wellbeing in relation to sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence". The majority of NYU students are sexually active, and college is a time when many young people first become sexually active. Students frequently enter college without adequate sexual health knowledge, and, subsequently, they often engage in sexual behaviors that place them at increased risk for unintended health outcomes such as pregnancy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is crucial to enhance sexual health resources to improve students' sexual health, increase safer sex behaviors, and reduce STI and HIV transmission.

HANG TIME, Texas — It was just a few days after the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial that Kyrie Irving saw other dreams.
They were in one of the impoverished townships outside of Johannesburg. They were in classrooms where hungry minds craved answers for a better life. They were on the basketball courts where raw talent gathered to show their skills and sought a way out. They were on so many of the faces that crossed his path during the 11th edition of Basketball Without Borders, Africa.
"In my short NBA career, I've had lots of great experiences," said the Cavs' 21-year-old point guard during a phone conversation from South Africa. "Just being in the league, winning Rookie of the Year, playing against guys that I looked up to. But being here is an amazing experience in a completely different way.
"Kids are kids no matter where you go in the world and they're always going to get a smile out of you and make you happy. But these kids that we've worked with here in the camps and the younger kids that we've met in the schools, they seem to draw even more out of you, because of the environment they come from.
"I've traveled around a bit and taken part in some UNICEF programs in the past. You think you've seen some situations that are bad. But the poverty in Africa is overwhelming. There are levels of poverty that I'm not sure we can understand as Americans without actually having been here.
"Some of the kids knew my name, who I was, where I played in the NBA. Others didn't. All they wanted was somebody to be with them and be there for them. That's the way we have to approach it — help one kid at a time."
Basketball without Borders is the NBA and FIBA's global basketball development and social responsibility program that aims to create positive social change in the areas of education, health, and wellness. To date, there have been 36 BWB camps in 21 cities across 18 countries on five continents.
The program has featured more than 150 current and former NBA/WNBA players and nearly 140 NBA team personnel from all 30 NBA teams as camp coaches and mentors.
The inaugural BWB camp was in July 2001 led by former NBA players Vlade Divac and Toni Kukoc, for 50 children from five nations of the former Yugoslavia. In 2013, BWB were held in three countries on three continents: Argentina, Portugal and South Africa.
FIBA and local federations help identify 50 to 65 of the top basketball players 18 and under from countries across the related continent to attend.
BWB has featured over 1,700 campers from over 120 countries and 28 BWB campers have been drafted into the NBA. There are currently 11 BWB alumni on NBA rosters: Jonas Valanciunas, Raptors/Lithuania; Donatas Motiejunas, Rockets/Lithuania; Enes Kanter, Jazz/Turkey; Greivis Vasquez, Kings/Venezuela; Omri Casspi, Rockets/Israel; Luc Mbah A Moute, Kings/Cameroon; Danilo Gallinari, Nuggets/Italy; Nicolas Batum, Trail Blazers/France; Marco Belinelli, Spurs/Italy; Marc Gasol, Grizzlies/Spain; Andrea Bargnani, Knicks/Italy.
Four former BWB campers were drafted in 2013: Sergey Karasev, Cavaliers/Russia; Kelly Olynyk, Celtics/Canada; Gorgui Dieng, Timberwolves/Senegal; Arsalan Kazemi, 76ers/Iran.
Other NBA players in South Africa were: Thabo Sefolosha, Serge Ibaka and Hasheem Thabeet of the Thunder, Jerryd Bayless of the Grizzlies; Bismack Biyombo of the Bobcats, Luol Deng of the Bulls, Al Horford of the Hawks and NBA Global Ambassador Dikembe Mutombo.
NBA coaches took part, too, including Tyrone Corbin (Jazz); Luca Desta (Mavericks); Mark Hughes (Knicks); BJ Johnson (Rockets); Jamahl Mosley (Cavaliers); Patrick Mutombo (Nuggets); Monty Williams (Pelicans) and ex-Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins.
The BWB program has been a favorite of Dikembe Mutombo, who attended the first in Johannesburg more than a decade ago.
"The biggest difference that I see from when we held the first camp here is the level of play," Mutombo said. "Back then, a lot of guys were just lucky to be able to get into the gym and show a little bit. Now they're getting coaching, getting direction and they are giving themselves a real chance for a better life.
"We all know that it is a long shot for anyone to make it into the NBA, even more when you're coming from the background of Africa. That's why the real goal for a lot of these kids is to come here and attract attention and maybe get an opportunity to come to the United States for a high school education, to play basketball and then maybe to attend an American university.
"To me, that's how we make the world, and Africa in particular, a better place. We lift these kids up, educate them and hopefully many of them will return to their countries and try to make things better."
Irving recalled that he had learned about apartheid in schools while he was growing up, but that had not prepared him for an up-close experience with people who had lived through it.
"To me, Steve Biko and Hector Pieterson were names I read in books," Irving said. "But here I'm walking where they walked and talking with their people. It's had more of an impact. It makes me know that I want to come back to Africa and do what I can in the future."
The 47-year-old Mutombo, a native of the Democratic Republic of Congo, rarely misses an opportunity. He had spent millions of his own dollars building a hospital in his mother's name in his homeland and has spent more to erect dormitories and classrooms during his many BWB trips to South Africa.
"On the anniversary of Dr. King's speech, I took time to stop and think," Mutombo said. "I have achieved so many blessings in my life after a childhood of poverty. I achieved a dream of working and getting noticed and getting myself an education.
"I realized a dream of playing basketball for a living and having the NBA doors open for me. I realized a dream of making a fortune and being able to use it to go back home and help my people. I realized a dream to build a hospital in my country.
"We all have to dream because big things are possible, especially in a world that has gotten smaller with things like cell phones and Facebook and Twitter.
"I tell these young players that come here that we're all connected. What Dr. King was talking about fifty years ago was not African-American dreams or American dreams. These are human dreams all over the world and every time I come here see a young player like Kyrie with his eyes wide open on his first trip, I feel like we can fulfill more."

The Craven County Board of Commissioners on Monday set a public hearing for March 4 on a proposed tall structures ordinance that�s aimed at keeping military flight paths clear.
The Craven County Board of Commissioners on Monday set a public hearing for March 4 on a proposed tall structures ordinance that�s aimed at keeping military flight paths clear.
Craven�s decision comes as leaders in neighboring Pamlico County are scheduled to meet this week with Marine Corps officials to discuss the military�s concerns over proposed energy-producing windmills there.
The draft Craven ordinance would regulate any structure that rises more than 350 feet above ground level. Tall structures such as wind turbines, cell towers and buildings would require a permit under the proposal.
The goal of the ordinance would be to protect aviation operations at Cherry Point air station as well as civil and commercial aviation.
For its part, the military has not formally asked the county to enact an ordinance regulating tall structures. However, county officials say they are trying to be sensitive to Cherry Point�s needs.
�It is very clear to us what they need,� said Craven County Manager Jack Veit. �(It�s) a document in progress and won�t be an ordinance until all sides are considered and we get public input. What we have to do is make sure we balance business, public and military interests in this ordinance. We feel like this is the fairest way to do it.�
About a third of Craven County�s estimated 107,000 residents are in some way connected to Cherry Point through the military or through civilian employment at Fleet Readiness Center East there. The base has an estimated $2 billion economic impact on the area.
In the recent past, Craven County leaders have enacted development rules to protect the base�s operations. In April 2004 � after two years of deliberation � the county adopted its first-ever zoning as a way to prevent development from encroaching on airspace needed for Cherry Point.
That Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone, now often referred to by the acronym AICUZ, restricted some development in the N.C. 101 area in order to minimize flyover and accident potential. It came over strong objections from 59 property owners there.
The proposed ordinance on tall structures is an effort to head off potential land-use conflicts, Craven officials say.
�Craven County is trying to get ahead of the curve on this, be proactive,� said county Planning Director Don Baumgardner. �The (Allies for Cherry Point�s Tomorrow) people have asked us to share our ordinance with other communities, but the No. 1 reason is to get an ordinance that works here. We�ll do our part to help other communities, but we have to get that point first.�
Veit said the proposed tall structures ordinance is still a �work in progress.� Just how �in progress� became clearer Monday afternoon when the county attorney�s review of the draft ordinance prepared by Dale Holland of Holland Consulting in Wilmington raised some questions that county officials couldn�t answer.
�We are changing our public hearing request from Feb. 18 to March 4 to give us more time to look it over and make sure we have considered everything,� Baumgardner said. �We feel pretty good about where we are, but want additional review time.
�The ordinance is still being developed, being fine-tuned. All we�re asking for commissioners to do is set a public hearing.�

South Central dropped boys in 66-54 loss Friday.
WINTERVILLE�Unsurprisingly, the team that won a Kinston High basketball game Friday displayed poise, teamwork, intensity and hustle.
Surprisingly, that team wasn�t the Vikings.
Winterville South Central turned in an almost perfect Kinston-like performance and turned the tables on the Vikings, 66-54, handing the two-time defending state 2A champions their first loss of the season.
The Viking girls, meanwhile, shrugged off a sluggish first 16 minutes with a masterful second half to run over the Falcons, 62-30.
Both the Kinston boys (5-1) and girls (4-1) have one loss on the season.
In the boys contest, it was a defeat that Kinston coach Perry Tyndall could see coming.
�The same issues that we�ve gotten away with early in the season finally came back to bite us,� Tyndall said. �We didn�t play with the necessary urgency, we weren�t patient with the basketball and we were a step slow defensively. Tonight we ran into a team that did all of those things much better than we did.�
Even though the Vikings led by as many as seven in the first half, they never could find their footing and entered intermission locked in a 29-29 tie.
A scary moment occurred with 2:25 left before the break when junior standout Brandon Ingram banged knees with a South Central player inside and limped off the floor directly to the locker room.
Ingram did play in the second half, although he experienced some obvious soreness and had his most inefficient game of the season with just eight points on 3-of-13 shooting.
Ingram did manage nine rebounds and three blocked shots before exiting the game.
�Brandon�s okay,� Tyndall said. �He struggled and may have been affected some by his knee, but that�s not why we lost. We just got outplayed by a team that wanted to win more than we did.�
Kinston led 33-31 when South Central reeled off nine points in a row and 11 of the next 12. The Vikings never recovered.
Leading by three heading into the final period, the Falcons didn�t flinch and shut down every Kinston run with heady, unflustered play.
With the game on the line, South Central hit six of 11 shots from the floor in the last 8 minutes and connected on 10 of 12 free throws.
SC�s Tyrick Suggs opened the fourth period with a long 3-pointer and Kinston never got closer than six the remainder of the game.
�South Central�s talented, athletic and well-coached,� Tyndall said. �They deserve all the credit. We didn�t play well enough to win, but a lot of that was South Central�s doing. They came ready to play.�
Andrew Lopez led the Vikings with 15 points to go along with seven assists. Darnell Dunn added 10 points and nine rebounds for Kinston.
The Vikings turned the ball over 15 times and forced just seven Falcon miscues, a season-worst defensive performance.
South Central (4-2) has won four in a row since a 68-48 loss at Kinston on Dec. 3.
Girls� Game
Kinston led 18-10 at the break after shooting just 30 percent (7 of 23) in the first half.
A 7-of-12 performance from 3-point range in the second half cured a lot of those offensive ills.
Shika Mason bombed away for a game-high 18 points, including five treys, as the Vikings totally dominated the final two periods, outscoring the hosts 44-20.
Mason nailed four from long range in the final frame alone.
�We had some good looks, but we finally started knocking them down in the second half,� Kinston coach Hubert Quinerly said. �With Lydia (Rivers) back on the inside and finally rounding into game shape, that helps open things up for our shooters.�
The 6-foot-1 Rivers, who missed Kinston�s first two games with a leg injury, showed glimpses of her old self, scoring 15 points and pulling down 10 rebounds.
She set the tone early when she grabbed a South Central miss and then dribbled coast-to-coast for the game�s first points.
In the third quarter, Rivers delivered back-to-back conventional 3-point plays and nearly produced a third before missing the free throw.
�We didn�t score a lot of points in the first half, but I still thought we played well, except for our shooting percentage,� Quinerly said. �In the second half we did just about everything right, probably our best half of the year so far.�
Brittany Drumgoole added 11 points for the Vikings, who finished nine of 23 from beyond the 3-point line for the contest.

Serves: Makes 2 to 4 servings
- Dough:
- ¾ cup warm (105°F to 115°F) water
- 1½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for the bowl
- 1 teaspoon Kosher or sea salt
- About 1¾ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- Chile Oil:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic, finely minced
- ¼ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- Pinch of kosher or sea salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Other ingredients:
- Cornmeal, for dusting the pizza peel
- ½ pound low-moisture whole-milk mozzarella cheese, grated on the large holes of a box grater
- Large handful of baby arugula
Procedures:Wispy leaves of young arugula are used like an herb in this recipe, sprinkled on the sizzling pizza just as it comes off the grill. Note the long, slow rise on the dough—a total of six hours—which produces a particularly light, chewy and flavorful crust.
To make the dough, put the warm water in a bowl and sprinkle the surface with the yeast. Let stand for 2 minutes to soften, then whisk with a fork to blend. Let stand until bubbly, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the olive oil and salt, then begin adding 1½ cups of the flour gradually, beating with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated. The dough will be very moist and sticky.
Turn the dough out on a lightly floured work surface and knead with floured hands until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, incorporating as much of the remaining ¼ cup flour as needed to keep the dough from clinging to your hands or the work surface. The dough will remain moist and a little tacky but should not be sticky. Shape into a ball. Oil a bowl, transfer the dough to it, and turn the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature for 2 hours.
Punch the dough down. Reshape into a ball, re-cover the bowl, and let the dough rise again for 4 hours.
If using a charcoal grill, prepare a moderate fire. When the coals are ready, arrange them in an even layer on one-half of the grill bed.
If using a gas grill, preheat all burners to high. About 15 minutes before grilling, put a baking stone on the grill rack. The internal temperature of the grill should be 575°F to 600°F.
Punch the dough down, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface, and shape into a ball. Dust the surface of the dough with flour, cover with a dish towel, and let rest for 30 minutes.
To make the chile oil, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, hot pepper flakes, and salt. Add the oregano, crumbling it between your fingers as you do, and whisk again. Let stand for 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
If you are using a round kettle grill with charcoal, you will need to shape the dough into a rectangle so that you can cook the crust first directly over the bed of coals, then flip it and finish cooking it over indirect heat. If you are using a gas grill with a baking stone, you can shape the dough into a circle because you will not need to flip it.
Dust a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet generously with cornmeal. To prepare the dough for topping, you can stretch it with a rolling pin or your hands. Lightly flour a work surface. To use a pin, roll out the dough on the floured surface into a 13- to 14-inch circle or into a roughly 16- by 10-inch rectangle, depending on your grill. Transfer to the prepared peel. To work by hand, flatten the dough into a round, then drape the round over the back of your two flour-dusted hands. Form your hands into fists and rotate the dough on your fists. The dough is supple enough that it will stretch with little effort on your part. Stretch into a 13- to 14-inch circle or into a roughly 16- by 10-inch rectangle, depending on your grill. Transfer to the prepared pizza peel.
If you are grilling the pizza over charcoal, slide the dough off onto the grill rack, directly over the coals. Cook uncovered until the dough begins to puff and blister and the bottom becomes nicely browned or even lightly charred in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. With tongs or your hands, flip the dough over onto the half of the grill with no coals. Working quickly, top with the cheese, spreading it evenly but leaving a ¾-inch rim uncovered. Brush the rim with the chile oil, then drizzle more of the oil, including the garlic and herbs, over the pizza, reserving a little oil for brushing the pizza rim after grilling. Cover the grill and cook until the pizza rim is well browned and the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, scatter the arugula over the cheese, and brush the rim with the remaining chile oil. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

RV Forum flags - click HERE
I Worked out a trade for for this by doing some installations and design work for the vinyl company. I can ask and find out what it would usually cost to wrap an RV like this.
I live in Flint, TX. Yes, Im in the process of removing previous vinyl graphics. Its the most annoying part of the process. There will be no real stretching involved with the install, as most everything is flat. Cutting out the windows is easy. I will doing the install by myself, but its definitely not something Id recommend for a beginner.
Here's a thread about another member that had his coach wrapped:http://www.rvforum.net/SMF_forum/index.php/topic,83302.0.html
My son-in-law had a wrap business in Boise and has done some amazing projects. He just sold his business when they moved to American Samoa this year. I sent him your photos. He was very impressed with your graphics. Nice job and well done!
I've thought several times about this over the years, wondering how it worked out long term....

Openness and transparency has the potential to transform government. It can strengthen people's trust in government and encourage greater public participation in decision-making.
Transparency is also a key part of this Government's efficiency and reform agenda. Freeing up public data and putting it in people's hands can help them have more of a say in the reform of public services.

Urinary incontinence can occur after prostate resection
because of dammage to the bladder sphincter. The
muscles of the pelvic floor can take over some of this function.
Proper training of these muscles can be beneficial when
incontinence does not resolve. This method of treatment
for incontinence has proven quite successful and there are
no side effects. Many patients note improvement as their
muscle awareness increases, though it may occur
over a period of 6-8 weeks.
Typical treatment includes:
Biofeedback - helps patients learn how to use the
correct muscles and measure progress
Electrical Stimulation- used when muscles are
very weak a gentle therapeutic current to promote
muscle contraction and strengthening

Dodgy affiliates use malware to flog Symantec and Check Point
Malvertisement break
Unscrupulous affiliates are using malware to advertise security software from legitimate firms. The practice is the brainchild of people who make a commission for every sale they generate - and not security vendors themselves. The practice raises serious concerns about the integrity and policing of affiliate programs from big names in security including Symantec and Check Point.
Instances of the dodgy practice, compiled by security firm Sunbelt Software, include PC Tools being "malvertised" last month in manipulated search results created on machines infected with the DNSChanger Trojan (video here). Separately, popups generated by the C2 (AKA Lop) adware package maliciously punted Symantec and Check Point products last week.
Sunbelt is seeking to throw a spotlight on dodgy practices by affiliates rather than make marketing capital out of the development. "Affiliate programs are a great way to spread the word on your product, but they need to be monitored carefully for abuse," notes Alex Eckelberry, president and chief exec of Sunbelt.
The US-based anti-spyware firm is not the only security watcher to pick up on instances of malvertisement. Independent security researcher Ben Edelman, an assistant professor at the Harvard Business School, has spotted examples of popups for Symantec's online store generated by the SurfSideKick adware package that's described as potentially unwanted by Symantec and other security vendors. ®

Lancaster Super Speedway will be playing host to the USCS Winged Outlaw Sprint Cars Summer Shootout Round 4 on Saturday night.
Some of the country's top 360 Sprint Car drivers are set to invade the LSS big half-mile where the cars will bring their 140-plus mile per hour Outlaw cars.
The field will be led by the ever-popular Eric Riggins Jr., Brandon McLain, Terry Gray, Morgan Turpen, Nick Snyder, Jake McLain, Brandon Taylor, Danny Sams III, Lance Moss, Derek Hagar and Johnny Bridges.
A late-afternoon thunderstorm in the area forced the Monster Mini Stocks Association to postpone the July 16 running of the third-annual Buddy Crook Memorial at Lancaster Super Speedway until later this month.
A four-cylinder race car series, the MMSA races at various dirt tracks in the Carolinas and Georgia. The $2,500 event here is one of the highest-paying stops on the series tour.
Michael Knight
For The Lancaster News
Lancaster Super Speedway will host the third-annual Ralph W. "Buddy" Crook Memorial on July 16.
Known as one of the area's most popular and respected dirt racers by fans and fellow drivers alike, Crook raced in several divisions, including hobby six cylinders, four cylinders at the high-banked, half-mile dirt track for more than three decades. He died in February 2014 after a battle with cancer and the memorial race is held in his honor.
Timbo Mangum pulled away from Benji Knight to grab the checkers in SECA Crate Late Model action at Lancaster Super Speedway on July 9.
The win was Mangum's second of the night, as he also won the Vintage Division feature.
When the green flag dropped, Mangum, Knight, Manley Chaney and Travis Steele were all battling for the lead. Mangum was able to lead the four down the backstretch, with Knight in his tire tracks.
Lancaster Super Speedway racing will be highlighted by the return of the SECA Crate Late Models on Saturday night at the half-mile dirt oval.
The SECA Crate Late Models are running a new racing format, starting with one-lap qualifying.
After qualifying, the driver must report to the scales. Immediately after qualifying is finished, the top six cars will return to the track and line up for a five-lap dash for cash- $100 to win to determine the first six starting slots for the feature.
The Fuel Racing Series debuted at Lancaster Super Speedway on Saturday night, with veteran driver Ross Bailes taking the checkers.
The Fuel race front row had Bailes and Matt Long. When the green flag waved, Bailes, Long, Bryan Mullis and Jeff Smith roared into turn one battling for the lead.
Exiting turn two, Bailes led, while Long, Mullis and Smith pursued.
As the laps ticked away, Bailes extended his lead over the field. Bailes pulled to nearly a straightaway lead over Long to capture the win.
With Independence Day and freedom appreciation on the minds of many drivers and fans, the FUEL Racing Series is set to kick off holiday celebrations with back-to-back races this weekend at Carolina Speedway (Gastonia, N.C.) and Lancaster Super Speedway.
With six events in the books this season, the weekend's doubleheader sets the tone for the stretch run to the 2016 series championship.
Jonathan Edwards sits atop the championship standings heading into tonight's race at Carolina Speedway.
Alexus Motes highlighted racing action at Lancaster Super Speedway, taking her first career win in the M&M Garage Extreme 4 non-winners race Saturday night.
Motes and the W12 car of Keith Woolford battled for the top spot when the green flag waved. Woolford grabbed the early lead, while Motes gave chase.
As the laps ticked off, Motes started to run down Woolford.
Coming to the white flag, Motes was all over Woolford's back bumper, pushing him down the front straightaway.
This Saturday night is Bounty Night and Bonus Money at Lancaster Super Speedway.
Speedway owner Doug McManus put up a $100 bounty on the Bakers (Andrew and Brandy) in the Montgomery Towing Super Stock Division.
Then two more sponsors stepped up and put up more bounty money on the Bakers. Swankyville and Rocky's Electric have put up $100 each to any driver who can beat the Bakers this Saturday night, for a total bounty of $300.
Veteran driver Timbo Mangum dashed to a pair of wins to highlight action at Lancaster Super Speedway on Saturday night.
Mangum and Benji Knight were on the front row for the SECA Crate Late Model main. When the green flag dropped, Knight, Mangum, Brandy Baker and Travis Steele roared into turn one battling for the lead. Exiting turn two, Mangum, Knight, Steele and Baker battled for the top spot.
As the laps ticked off, it became a three-car battle as Mangum, Knight and Steele began to distance themselves from the rest of the field.

Clinical Data 57 yearsCaucasianfemale Genes Expressed carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) Tumorigenic Yes Effects Yes, in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 10(7) cells.(The cells produce CEA, and grow in orthotopic and heterotopic positions in nude mice within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5).) Comments The cells can be lysed completely in vitro by autologous and allogeneic lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL-2). They are relatively insensitive to autologous and allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell lysis. The cells produce CEA, and grow in orthotopic and heterotopic positions in nude mice within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5). Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Subculturing Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes. Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum, which contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and place at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Observe cells within 5 to 10 minutes under an inverted microscope Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. To remove trypsin-EDTA solution, transfer cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 10 minutes. Discard supernatant and resuspend cells in fresh growth medium. Add appropriate aliquots of cell suspension to new culture vessels. Recommended seeding densities of 5 x 103 to 4 x 104 viable cells/cm2 Place culture vessels in incubators at 37°C. Note: subcultures can also be prepared by scraping the cells from the floor of the flask. Add fresh medium, aspirate the scraped cells to disperse them and dispense into new flasks.

When should you wash your hands?
According to the Centers for Disease Control, it's important to wash your hands:
A study conducted by the American Society for Microbiology showed that overall only about 67% of people washed their hands after using the restroom. This means that about a third of the population does not!
Try to avoid touching your face with your hands. Here's why: According to WebMD. com, about 80% of infectious diseases are transmitted by touch. When you unknowingly touch your face, the germs can enter through your eyes, nose and mouth. And those germs can also be transmitted to others through shaking hands (direct transmission) or handling items that others then touch (indirect transmission).

In a new TV ad criticizing President Obama, Mitt Romney's campaign appears to be targeting single women voters who may like the president a great deal but are skeptical if he can deliver the type of change that he was talking about. NBC's David Gregory reports.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Mitt Romney's getting back in the game.
His campaign went dark on television 11 days ago, but today it booked $4.5 million (so far) in TV ads in eight battleground states today, according to NBC News and ad-tracker SMG Delta.
There was a lot of free media out of the convention for Romney, but it was striking that the only advertising run was from the Obama campaign and pro-Romney outside groups.
Recommended: Dems twist jobs numbers and GOP Medicare ideas
Romney is also able now to tap into general-election funds, which he wasn't able to prior to accepting the nomination a week ago.
The states seeing the biggest spending in this buy round are Virginia, Ohio, and Florida with about $1 million each.
Also notably, Romney is spending about $600,000 in this buy on North Carolina, a state most analysts see as beginning to trend toward Romney, but close enough that he may have to spend money here.
The other states he will be up in with this buy – Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada.
Brian Snyder / Reuters
Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney talks briefly with reporters after stopping to buy two pizzas at Lui-Lui restaurant in West Lebanon, New Hampshire September 5, 2012.
Ad spending has now reached $573 million for this general-election presidential race. With the help of outside groups, Romney and allies are outspending Obama and his supporters $303 million to $269 million.
President Obama's campaign is the biggest-single advertiser at $218 million. Romney has spent just $79 million on ads. But the Crossroads groups are making up the difference big time, spending $106 million.
Slideshow: Democratic National Convention
Another noteworthy fact, for all that Restore Our Future did for Romney in primaries and for all the talk of Priorities USA's fundraising problems, Priorities has actually outspent Restore this election, $45 million to $41 million.
The problem for Democrats is that there are multiple outside groups supporting Romney who are spending substantial amounts of money. In addition to Crossroads and Restore, the Koch Brothers'-backed Americans for Prosperity has spent $47 million, for example.
The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, Democratic strategist and former top advisor to VP Al Gore, Michael Feldman and President of the Center for American Progress Neera Tanden talk about what President Barack Obama needs to say in his speech to lay out a vision for the next four years.
And once again, there is no advertising for Romney in Wisconsin (despite the pick of Paul Ryan as VP), Michigan, or Pennsylvania.

Explore21: The Magic of the Deep main content.
by AMNH on
This month, Museum Curator John Sparks is leading The Explore21 Solomon Islands Expedition. A part of the Museum's Explore21 initiative, this three-week research journey is headquartered aboard the Research Vessel Alucia.
Expedition member Chris Filardi, who is the director of Pacific Programs in the Museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, recently wrote in with this dispatch.
One of the primary directives of this expedition is to probe depths rarely surveyed in this or any part of the world, and one of the primary ways we are doing this aboard the Alucia is by trawling. With a specially designed winch and several thousand meters of steel cable, the trawl is a 5-meter-wide net that funnels down to a fine mesh tube entering a collection cylinder is towed through the pitch black underworld far below Alucia's stern.
Today we trawled at 800−1000 meters depth (2,600 to more than 3,200 feet) over 1500−2000 meters of water, and what came up is nothing less than spectacular. As John Sparks delicately emptied the contents of the collection cylinder into a basin, collections manager Bob Shelley rushed off to bring in cold seawater from the aquarium room to keep the fragile animals alive as long as possible.
Everyone on deck literally catches their breath at the colors—velvet black, blood red—the bizarre shapes, fangs, orb-like eyes, ragged fins, a mesmerizing pin-prick into the most geographically extensive biomes on Earth, the lightless black of the deep ocean.
As John gently sorts the fragile creatures, miraculously intact after travel up from crushing pressures of the deep, he quickly gathers individuals that made the journey alive. With quiet precision and encyclopedic knowledge, John moves through the treasure-trove of living variety: bristle mouths, constellation fish, lightfishes, deepwater snipe eels, viperfish, black and barbeled dragonfish, dreamers and black sea-devils (fantastic beasts out of a child's storybook, an uncommon find), lantern fishes [pictured below], and stoplight loose jaws, so named for rare red bioluminescence. Once in Alucia's saltwater aquaria, these living aliens to the surface world offer rare opportunity to observe the luminescent features that have drawn John to the vipers, dragons, sinister anglers, and dreamers of belly of the sea.
As with most fieldwork, even with the technology aboard starship Alucia, we will not know the full impact of what we are finding until many months of grueling work back in the museum's collections and laboratories. What we do know now is that knowledge, and wonder, about our living world is expanding in ways we are only beginning to understand and cherish.

Do you have an upcoming job interview? Want to be a stand-out candidate? Guess what, top candidates know a secret that helps them shine brighter than all the others. A crystal ball, you ask? Um… no. A relative working high up in the company? Well, maybe. But even without that advantage, candidates can still make a great showing. How? By researching the company before going in for the interview.
While first impressions are crucial, it's equally important to be prepared and show that you know what's up. Even with the best credentials and loads of experience, a candidate can make a bad showing by looking underprepared or, even worse, uninterested in the company. By putting on your detective hat and investigating potential employers, you'll discover details about the employer that will better prepare you for any interview.
With the right research, you'll better understand what the company does, what they're looking for in a candidate, and more importantly, how to better answer interview questions and position yourself as the best candidate.
Heather Huhman, writing for Glassdoor, has identified seven areas you should investigate about a potential employer before your interview.

There are two things every client and customer wants from you:
In his great little book called How to win and keep Customers author Michael Le Bouef notes that every customer really wants two things when they buy any product or service.
The first thing they want is a solution to a problem.
The second thing they want is to feel good.
They want to feel good about the product or service they have just purchased.
They want to feel good about the business they purchased the product or service from.
And they also want to feel good about themselves after they have made their purchase.
When a customer or client feels good they are far more likely to make a repeat purchase of this product or service and recommend other people to buy it from your business.
So how do you get your customers and clients to feel good?
Try these two simple ideas:
A number of consumers were surveyed and asked the question "Why do you buy where you presently buy? In other words why you chose your present bank, why you bought groceries at a certain store, why you shopped with a certain travel agent.
The major, overriding, specific reason clients come back again and again to your business is summarised in these letters. DWYPYWD. They stand for "Do What You Promised You Would Do".
Isn't it amazing that by simply doing what you say you would do you can create loyal customers?
The Punctual Plumber:
An extremely successful plumber has a simple way of making his clients feel good. He always shows up exactly on time. So if he tells you he will be there at 10am in the morning that's exactly when he will arrive.
Do you know how rare it is for most trade's people to consistently turn up at the time they said they would?
This plumber does and it makes his clients feel great.
And he also gets a ton of repeat and referral business.
Remember customers have 'memories like elephants' when it comes to remembering when a person doesn't do what they said they would do!
One of our prime responsibilities is to make customers feel good about themselves and good about us every time we deal with them. A good way to do this is to pretend that every customer you meet has a large invisible sign around their neck that has four letters on it. All we have to do as business people is to respond to that sign.
The letters are MMFI and stand for Make Me Feel Important. We can do this with a smile, a thank you note, a follow up phone call and a hundred other ways. Every time we do this we improve the relationship and increase our opportunities for further business with that customer.
The Friendly Fitness Centre:
The owner of a successful fitness centre uses the MMFI idea well. He makes sure that when any client comes into his business that they greeted with a warm smile and their name. 'Hello John nice to see you. Hi Mary thanks for coming in.' This makes his clients feel great and they enjoy coming in to use his facilities.
'Loyal customers, they don't just come back, they don't simply recommend you, they insist that their friends do business with you' Chip Bell, Founder Chip Bell Group
Action Exercises:
1: Write down after five or more customer conversations this week the answer to the question "What did I say I would do for this customer?" Then make sure you do it!
2: Write down 5 ways you could make a customer feel important this week. Put into action two of these ideas within the next 24 hours. The better your clients 'feel' when they do business with you the more successful you will be

Internet Options for Low Income Families
Learning can occur "Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace," but to continue learning in the home, high speed reliable broadband is crucial. With more devices in the hands of students, districts have shifted away from traditional approaches to homework. According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), seven out of ten teachers assign homework that requires high speed internet access, yet in some communities as few as one in three students have home internet connectivity. When students do not have internet access at home, the gap widens in terms of what students can do. Equitable access to the internet is essential to maximize lifetime learning and success.
Families can access www.everyoneon.org to learn what internet options are available in their communities, including mobile hotspots. The website also lists information on discounted computers for qualified families as well as local technology training opportunities. In the coming year, the FCC's Lifeline program will begin to include internet access. Information on the updated program will be forthcoming.

Edvard Bay (1867-1932)
Edvard Bay was born on Jutland in Denmark and took the exam in zoology and geology at the University of Copenhagen.
In 1891-92 he participated as naturalist on the Danish Ryder expedition to the east coast of Greenland and he became enthralled by the Arctic. He joined Sverdrup's Fram expedition to gain experience for his own arctic expedition which he was planning.
Bay was a popular and enthusiastic dog-sledge driver during the expedition and was regarded as a typical jovial Dane. Sverdrup remarked, however, in his diary that Bay's enthusiasm seemed to decrease after the first two years. The zoologist apparently had a tendency to spend more and more time on the sofa and by the dinner table than outside. At the same time he wrote that the Dane was a friendly and good natured person.
During winter 1899-1900 the men established a meat depot some way from the Fram. When this was repeatedly visited by hungry polar bears, a guard was needed to stay there and to help the sledge groups who called in on the depot. Hay volunteered and ended up by living alone at Bjørneborg (Bear Fort) for three months with only one watchdog as company. Bay was eager to hunt polar bears and also to trap some foxes and otherwise do various zoological studies.
Early in 1901 he was unfortunate and got his one knee out of joint.
Bay married in 1903 and had two children, in 1905 and 1907. In 1909 he travelled to Asia and was gone for some years. In Thailand he managed a plantation, and he worked for United Plantations until he was pensioned in 1925.
