Anything else?
I have no experience of the hospital care or treatment but I have just spent 35 minutes trying to find out which ward my cousin had been admitted to last Sunday, (I have been trying to contact her at home all week). The main switchboard put me through to admissions several times but no one answered and the call terminated automatically. Eventually she gave me the direct number and I tried to get through myself, but had the same experience. I went back to switchboard who eventually put me through to A&E who did manage to find which ward she is on. She asked me couldn't I find out from the family, I am the family! I am her next of kin and her only family and no one had informed me of her admission. I have just made a total of 17 calls to get this basic information anfd spent 35mins on the 'phone,

Where Are The "most Popular New Cakes"
Decorating By cakemommy75002 Updated 16 Jul 2009 , 8:04pm by JanH
I haven't been on CC as much as I have been previously. Since the website redesign, do we no longer get to see the "Most Popular Cakes" and "Most Popular New Cakes?" ...I only see the most recent cakes scrolling past on the home page.
As much as I support this site allowing all of us, even beginners, to post our cakes, I turn here for creative inspiration, and in all honesty, what I see on the homepage now is like searching for a needle in a haystack. I have to check back so often to find the "gem" of a new cake. It is very frustrating not to have the great new cakes grouped together.
So, do I just have to rely exclusively on my favorites file to find inspiration now?
Please see Heath's posts in these threads:
P.S. You can always view ALL the latest uploads in the galleries by hitting the "last uploads" button.

This guy was having a bad day. After losing from a game of pool, he found out that he left his wallet home. Unable to pay up his bet, he offered this shemale his cock. She agreed and began sucking off his dick and took it in her ass by grinding on top.

Three-dimensional panel data models with interactive effects: Estimation and simulation
This paper considers three-dimensional panel data models with unobservable multiple interactive effects, which are potentially correlated with the covariates. We propose an iterated OLS (IOLS) approach for the estimation of the static model and an iterated GMM (IGMM) method for the dynamic model. Monte Carlo simulations illustrate that our methods perform well in finite samples.

Music 2014/2015
Thanks to Parent council, we have 8 new guitars and two more on the way that the school is purchasing. Thanks to Ms. Adarna for allowing us to use her guitar. We also have 10 Djembe drums.
A new page was created titled Bellotto Music Theory. This page is very useful for students who want a better understanding of how music works and to extend learning music at home.
Thanks to all the parents, staff, and students that were able to contribute their time for this years concert. Check back here for updates from time to time.
Mr. Bellotto's focus for the Junior Choir is to perform both in and outside our community. Mr. Bellotto renames the Junior Choir to Tumpane Choir to allow some grade 3's to participate in both primary age groups and junior age groups.
The focus of the music program is to provide as many vocal and instrumental opportunities to perform in class. Students are learning by choral method techniques to sing and read music by sight. Students rotate between 3 learning centres vocal singing, Orff non pitched percussion playing, and Orff pitched percussion playing to learn songs. By actively learning a song this way, student focus improves dramatically. Students have responded positively to learning in this way. Steps to purchase more instruments for students are in the works. Click on the link below to see a youtube video on how playing an instrument helps the brain.
Mr. Bellotto greatly aknowledges parent council, parents, students, administation, and staff for the ongoing support of music initiatives in our school by Mr. Bellotto.
2014 Winter Concert Songs
This is a selection of some songs that you will hear at the Winter Concert at Downsview SS on Thursday December 4th starting at 7pm.
I LIKE CAKE (BUT I GOT BEETS) by M. Bellotto
I like cake, any kind that you can make for me
Add a lot of sugared caramel toffee
Triple layered chocolate, filled with buttered cream
If my mouth's too small then serve it in my dream
I like cake, any kind that you can make for me
Bury it in cherries and the best ice cream
But what I want I'll never get though there are many treats
I'm always getting broccoli some tofu and some
Beets, beets, beat-a-beet beets (2X)
I like cake, any kind that you can make for me
I would eat the candles if they were candy
Numbers 1 to 10, sparkles for my friends
Dripping with some sugar, melting at the ends
I like cake, any kind that you can make for me
If I were a baker my cakes would be for free
But what I want I'll never get though there are many treats
I'm always getting broccoli some tofu and some
Beets, beets, beat-a-beet beets (2X)

The Garden Gnome By Mauro Bellotto
There's a gnome; a garden gnome that has a home out by a garden.
All alone this garden gnome does carry on its heavy burden.
Seeded plot or flower pot a mushroom ought to have some comfort.
Not a tear, will persevere; this pioneer of holiday support.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la.
When you're down you wear a frown. The saddest clown would seem so happy.
Just a look is just the hook to write a book. That makes you savvy.
Any test you've tried the best, it will suggest studying harder.
Take to heart, a work of art, the gnome so smart, perennial father.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la.
All alone, the garden gnome; outside your home, it stands so true.
Bearded friend, until the end, it will defend, it's there for you.
Made of clay, it seems cliché that every day is like another.
Windy day or cloudy grey the gnome will stay there like no other
Through and through in red and blue it will be true around your family
Bird or mouse, natures spouse protects your house, very happily
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la.
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la la la.

It Is Snowing Snow by Mauro Bellotto
There's a bear somewhere in a mighty deep wood; beware, if ever you could.
If ever you endeavor to be scared for good; prepare, whenever you should.
All winter long in cozy slumber,
It dreams a song; a peaceful number.
It is snowing, snowing; snowing snow.
There's a bird in a tree on a mighty high hill; coward? Be very, very still.
It's an owl that is fowl with a powerful bill. Be still, or hear it shrill.
When winter comes, it leaves a feather.
It sheds a tear, in chilly weather.
It is snowing, snowing; snowing snow.
On a night when the light from the moon is bright, hold tight to avoid a bite.
For a wolf in a den will offend and fight; defend, but be polite.
The winter moon; night clouds will cover.
A cub will sleep and dream of mother.
It is snowing, snowing; snowing snow.
2013 Winter Concert Songs
Listen Now:
We Are Free – by Mauro Bellotto
Winter snowflakes falling softly,
falling on the trees above me,
singing, serenading "we are free."
"We are free, we are free!
"We are happy, we are free;
When you see us you will know that we are free."
So, evidently falling isn't so sad
when there's someone that can
save me when I need a helping hand
"We are free, we are free!
"We are happy, we are free;
When you see us you will know that we are free."
I may fall,
though you are all
I need to save the day.
Worlds away,
for you I'd say
a wish for everyday
"We are free, we are free!
"We are happy, we are free;
When you see us you will know that we are free.
When you see us you will know that we are free.

Click here to listen to the Tumpane Anthem, Composed by M. Bellotto (MP3)
Click here to listen to the Tumpane Anthem,Composed by M. Bellotto (Live version, MP3)
The School Song: Students are actively engaged in a variety of music activities from singing to instrument performance.
Kindergarden students sing the Tumpane Anthem, solfege scale (i.e., do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti do'), nursery songs, and well known children songs. We are learning to move, sing, dance, and dramatize.
The primary grades began the year learning focused on singing and rhythm reading. Grades 1 to 3 are focused now on learning three songs for the Winter Concert. The three songs are "Over The Rainbow" by Arlen and Harburg, "Dancing With Santa" by M. Bellotto, and "La Sonata Buffa also by M. Bellotto. You can find the lyrics and mp3's in the concert tab of this website.
The following sums up why I choose these songs for the primary grades;
1. Over the Rainbow – This song was ranked as the greatest movie song of all time by A.F.I and number 1 on "Songs of the Century" by R.I.A.A. and the National Endowment for the Arts. This song is ranked number 1 as the top song of the last century. I'm using the song to address issues of bullying and how to communicate when there is a problem (i.e., Aunt Em tells Dorthy, "find yourself a place where you won't get into any trouble").
2. Dancing With Santa – I wrote a seasonal song that encourages children to accept that their parent/guardian or parents/guardians care a great deal for them. Both characters dancing metaphysically represents two adults coming together to express their joy. Sometimes a parent/guardian is not able to be there show how they care. The hope is that they are there in spirit.
3. La Sonata Buffa- I wrote this song that pokes fun at how children make excuses. It talks about a variety of celebrations throughout the year that children are aware of, participate in, or are discouraged from engaging in. It doesn't support or negate a religious bias but recognizes that there are many celebrations. There are actions and sayings in the song that engage children. I also use this song to draw a connections to Opera and Opera Buffa.
Grade 4 students are working on learning to read music notation. Grade 5 students are learning about the major scale and how to design and make a string instrument us. At the start of the year, we explored playing simple songs and backgrounds on Orff instruments (i.e., drums, xylophones, metallophones, triangles, etc). Some juniors have showed an interest in learning to play the guitar so I started a guitar club on Mondays.
When the morning sun rises
The day has just begun
We'll arrive safe and sound then
Where learning is so fun
It is fantastic, math and music
And the languages we speak
We'll remember from September
Building friendships week by week
Tumpane is our school
Tumpane our hearts rule
Tumpane stands for me
© September 2000 M. Bellotto
(French Version)
En anglais et en français
Tous ensemble,
On inspire le respect
J'aime mon école
Tumpane, c'est pour moi!

The Ignition Programme, an initiative led by Portugal Ventures, aims to strengthen the Portuguese technology-based entrepreneurship ecosystem and thus foster the development of a modern, more competitive economy open to the world, based on knowledge, innovation and highly qualified human capital, with a strong entrepreneurial spirit.
The Call For Entrepreneurship is the access point to the Ignition Programme for Founders of innovative scientific and technology-based entrepreneurial projects.
Once submitted to the Call For Entrepreneurship, projects are subject to an initial screening by Portugal Ventures, followed by an evaluation by a multidisciplinary panel of experts and, finally, a pitch presentation to Portugal Ventures' Board of Directors. After that, Portugal Ventures will make its investment decisions and present investment term sheets to the selected projects.
Up to now the Call For Entrepreneurship had more than 3,400 registrations, resulting in the submition of more than 1,100 deals for assessment by Portugal Ventures.
Portugal Ventures is looking for tech-based projects with the following characteristics:
- Product-oriented (tradable good & services);
- Based on internationally referenced R&D;
- Innovative and differentiated;
- Appropriable Technology;
- Positioned in global value chains;
- Significant global market potential;
- Implementable with available resources;
- An initiative by the Founders.
Please bear in mind that our Ignition Partners are available to guide you in this process.
In the Tourism Sector, Portugal Ventures focuses its investment in technology-based projects aimed to Tourism, and tourism animation projects, as well as other projects which complement the already existing tourism offer.
The purpose of the Call For Entrepreneurship is not to finance research as such, but rather entrepreneurial projects which:
a. Offer new global solutions for existing problems; and which
b. Have a clear marketing strategy for the new solution or, at least, a willingness to develop it.
In other words, if you have a solution for a global target market, based on a technology you have developed or; which you helped develop; or which you licensed from a third-party, then you are welcome to submit your project.
If the technology in question has already resulted in the creation of a company, then that company will be eligible for the Call For Entrepreneurship if:
a. It is considered an SME, in accordance with IAPMEI Certification;
b. Its registered office is in Portugal;
c. It has settled all payments owing to the Ministry of Finance and Social Security and if there are no payments outstanding to IAPMEI;
d. There are no constraints which limit the global economic potential for marketing the project's technology.
The Call For Entrepreneurship differs from those other initiatives in that it is neither a competition for ideas/projects nor an academic exercise or a training session, nor does it intend to give out any awards or grants but rather the chance to obtain venture capital investment if Portugal Ventures considers the project worthwhile.
- Pre-Seed stage projects: should have a working prototype completed that allows us to validate the practical application of the technology and/or business idea, and should have potential customers with a confirmed interest, even if the company has not yet made any sales, or
- Seed stage projects: should have some customers using its products, and be seeking funding to expand operations, or
- Venture stage projects (Start-up and Growth): should have an established product range and client base and be seeking incremental capital to expand into new geographies or product ranges.
The business idea should already be sufficiently structured as a project (including a detailed roadmap for the project with milestones to be achieved in order that each tranche will only be put into the company if the respective milestones are achieved, as well as minimum evidence that supports the business opportunity evaluation), as this information, together with a pitch from the Founders, will be the basis for the assessment process carried out by the panels of experts and for the investment decision made by Portugal Ventures.
In order to validate the project's potential, assessment panels will be formed and will be made up by both national and international experts from the four target industry sectors (Digital, Life Sciences, Engineering & manufacturing and Tourism). These assessment panels will support Portugal Ventures during the evaluation process and will use international benchmarks and state-of-the-art technology references from the respective international industry sectors.
Based on the information given on the Application Form about the project and the assessment/recommendations from the respective assessment panel, Portugal Ventures will invite selected projects for a second presentation to its Board of Directors in order to evaluate the extent to which each project proves to be an investment opportunity, within the investment vehicles it manages. Projects selected by Portugal Ventures will receive a term sheet.
The investment amount from Portugal Ventures will be set case-by-case.
The investment made by Portugal Ventures will be channelled to fund the project until it is ready to market the product and starts to scale, which typically occurs up to 24 months after the initial investment.
The release of funds by Portugal Ventures will be done progressively in accordance with the achievement of milestones defined at the time of the initial investment.
Projects that benefit from Portugal Ventures' equity financing will also benefit from:
1. Mentoring by international seasoned experts, with accumulated experience and relevant contact networks suitable to the needs of each project;
2. An incubation period in an international hub of reference in order to expedite the international validation of the project and build a network of international contacts.

This evaluation process allows Portugal Ventures to obtain a qualified opinion on the project from national and international experts.
This process has two stages:
- First, the Founders will pitch their ideas to the assessment panel in a session which will be followed by Q&A. In this way the assessment panel will have the opportunity to interact with the Founders, so as to better form an opinion about the team and the project;
- Secondly, and based on: (i) the information sent in the Application Form; (ii) the pitch made by the Founders and (iii) the subsequent discussion, the assessment panel will formulate a qualitative evaluation of each project, taking into account the requirements set forth in the Rules and Regulations; identify the main risks the project presents and suggest measures to mitigate said risks: and will also formulate an assessment of the merit of the underlying investment opportunity.
Portugal Ventures strives to have on its assessment panels renowned experts in the technical fields of expertise and industries where the projects plan to insert themselves. On Portugal Ventures' website, you will find information on several of the experts that have helped us in the previous editions of the Call For Entrepreneurship.

Ive been using ghost 11.5 for a few years now at my school, but recently it has been giving me the same timeout error Application error 503 Error code 19945. I do not know what to do about this, I have looked all over the web for the solution but none of the things that i try seem to work. If anyone has an idea how to fix the problem it would be greatly appreciated.
I looked here but didn't find anythinghttp:/

I had the same error, and I came to the conclusion that it was because I had the Ghost Server set to backup the image to an external USB hard drive. When I changed the save to location to an internal hard drive, everything worked fine.

Well still to this day I have not found a solution because of the sporadic times that it will work or wont.

Apple Pineapple Crisp No Sugar No Flour
READY IN: 35mins
Recipe by ladypit
I had a large amount of green apples to use but was looking for something without sugar or flour or butter. Tall order! This worked out pretty nicely. This is not decadent and will not convert anyone who usually only eats high fat sweets. But if you like fruit desserts that aren't too sweet, this is nice. It is sort of like baked apples without raisins and butter. I like it warm for breakfast with a dollop of fat free cool-whip, and my 3 year old devoured hers!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 medium tart apples (I used granny smith)
- 1 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice
- 1⁄2 cup quick oatmeal or 1⁄2 cup regular oatmeal (not instant)
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 banana, frozen
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Spray an 8X8 square baking dish with cooking spray.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples.
- Put them in the pan.
- Add the canned pineapple and mix it all together.
- Put the frozen banana in the microwave until it is defrosted and mushy.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add the oatmeal and nutmeg and stir well.
- Peel the banana (it will be runny) and add it to the oatmeal.
- This will clump up and be very sticky.
- Put the oatmeal mixture on top of the apples.
- I use my hands but it is sticky and not real easy.
- You may, if you want, spray the top of the crisp with cooking spray or olive oil spray but I didn't find it made much difference.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the topping is starting to brown.
- Serve warm or cold.

Undertaker was the successor to Havoc, which competed in Series 3 of Robot Wars. Its name is derived from the occupation that handles corpses.
- "As long as we don't do anything stupid in the early rounds we have a good a chance as anyone. Our robot is fast, manoeuvrable, and not overly complicated. I believe that these are a winning combination. But to answer your question I will be happy with a place in the semi final."
- — The Team's high hopes for the robot, ultimately unrealised[1]
Undertaker is wedge-shaped in design, resembling a coffin, hence its grim name. The team claimed that Undertaker could pull a Land Rover, and it was painted so that the armour looked like wood, but it was in fact made of 2mm thick T6 aircraft-grade aluminium and travelled on go-kart wheels at 15mph. Undertaker looked a lot like Gravedigger, but with a scythe that functioned as an axe as its weapon, rather than a flipping arm.
Robot HistoryEdit
Series 3Edit
Undertaker went up against Panzer in its only battle of the Third Wars. In the battle, Undertaker was rammed by Panzer onto an arena spike, which bounced it up and down numerous times. Undertaker looked as though it was having some control problems, but was still mobile at the end of the battle. Nevertheless, Panzer had been the more aggressive after driving all over Undertaker and went through, thus eliminating Undertaker from the competition.

Product: AeroGarden
Model: SpaceSaver6
Manufacturer: Aero Grow International Inc.
Is this a financially feasible product to help me get good nutrition through the winter?
Christine from Halifax, NS
I have an Aero-garden, and I really enjoy the fresh herbs. I really feel I'm saving also. Fresh herbs are so expensive in the supermarket. (12/31/2008)
By Susan of Henderson
I just got my aerogarden for Christmas and started it up right away. I now have some sprouts of chives, basil and thyme. Normally I do not purchase fresh herbs so this will be a bonus for the winter months for me and my family. During the summer my herbs come from my garden. Guess will have to try flowers in the areogarden in the summer time.
I also did a search online and have found that I can use the aerogarden to start my seeds for my garden in the spring. All in all, I am quite pleased with my gift and will soon have some fresh herbs to use in my cooking.
By Karyn01
I also got one for Christmas. My herbs are coming up already. Now what do I do? When do I start cutting them? They are smaller around than a toothpick. When will I know when to start pruning? (01/07/2009)
By kddid
I haven't grown the herbs in mine yet, but have bought replacement packs for tomatoes and lettuce. I figure that is where it'll save me the most money. Does any one know how to use this with your own seeds? The packs are so expensive. (02/11/2009)

There's no doubt that additional digital functionality can help differentiate brands and engage customers over time. Yet none of that matters unless companies take care of the basics. Our research debunked several myths often heard in boardrooms about what consumers value most when it comes to mobile shopping.
Myth #1: The app is the answer. Many retailers believe that a mobile app will help them attract new customers and stay top of mind. Yet our survey respondents were twice as likely to use mobile sites rather than apps, with only 11 percent noticing any meaningful difference between the two platforms. Apps do appear better at engaging the best customers than attracting new ones: loyal customers are more than twice as likely to install an app. However, as the number of shopping apps proliferates, many people seem reluctant to use them: barely 30 percent of mobile shoppers have more than two shopping apps, and only 7 percent have more than five. And having an app doesn't always translate into traffic: half of those who installed an app stopped using it entirely—whether to get content, browse products, or check for deals—if they weren't making regular purchases.
For retailers seeking meaningful growth in traffic and sales, the first priority should be a great, mobile site that's easy to use (with a notable exception for grocers, where our research found that apps do matter more). After that, building an app may make sense if it provides additional features that customers really value, such as fuss-free price comparisons, easy-to-access saved baskets, and delivery tracking.
Myth #2: The difference between good and great on mobile is 'cool' features. For most of the people we surveyed, basic functionality is far more important than novelty or dazzle. Load speed, for example, matters about 60 percent more than having videos. Respondents said the three most important functionalities were smooth checkout, the ease of adding and dropping items from a basket, and site navigation—apparently because they reduce the biggest frustrations associated with mobile shopping. A cumbersome site is likely to cause some visitors to leave before finalizing their purchases and discourage them from returning.
Myth #3: Showrooming is a show stopper. Many retailers fear that shoppers are "showrooming"—visiting stores in person to see products and then making their purchases at other stores or online at lower prices. And it's certainly true that more than half of smartphone owners use their phones in stores, and two-thirds of those compare prices.
Yet most brick-and-mortar retailers should worry less about showrooming. Why? Because most people end up buying from the retailer eventually, and 58 percent of them do so at brick-and-mortar stores—most of them at the very store where they started. So, while some 56 percent of all consumers who have made a purchase (online or offline) conduct research online, the share of sales influenced by mobile is much greater than sales actually made by mobile.4 That suggests that while price is important, other factors such as the in-store experience and convenience continue to play major roles in purchasing decisions. After all, is it really worth driving to another store across town or waiting for a delivery to save a couple of dollars or pounds?
Myth #4: The main value of digitization is in driving self-service. Digital tools may allow some retailers to employ fewer people in some areas, such as inventory and checkout. But we found that the right digital tools may make other employees more valuable than ever. In fact, six in ten mobile shoppers believe that sales assistants with digital tools can help them find products, explain options and features, order out-of-stock items, and so on. In fact, shoppers view mobile-enabled sales assistants—particularly in showrooms and large-format stores—as enhancing the shopping experience, underlining the need for retailers to find and train motivated, well-prepared, and well-equipped employees.

Tomorrow evening I shall be joining most of the other people who have their names on the front of this book at the University Bookshop in Aberystwyth at 6.30 for its launch. A rare public outing for me, I believe I even have to read one of my poems and it's been a while since I've dine that! However, I'm anticipating a fine five hour drive through the wilds of Wales and an evening of good company and art... and then the following afternoon sees the launch of Clive Hicks-Jenkins's career retrospective exhibition at The National Library of Wales - also in Aberystwyth. It promises to be an extremely pleasant weekend and I'm looking forward, in particular, to seeing so much of Clive's work in the flesh and in one place...

Summer Break
This summer the first thing I did was go to Chicago, Illinois. I went with my family and we went shopping, walking, and to a soccer game. While in Chicago I visited Millennium Park, Lake Michigan, and many museums. Another thing I did while I was in town is go swimming. I went swimming at Quality Inn, and I took my friends, family, and boyfriend. Besides having fun, I also had to work at a restaurant. I worked at my family's restaurant, Mi Camino Real and this is all I pretty much did this summer.

HELP! Audio Player Refreshing My Website Too Much
I've got a website someone designed for me that has a static menu on it, so when you click the different menu buttons only the contents of a main frame change. However they have placed the WordPress audio player on the main index page, and now when you click on the "main" menu option the entire site refreshes.
A colleague of mine said it may have to do with the flash based WordPress plugin being active on that page now. Is this true?? Is there any to remedy this? Moving around between pages that constantly refresh is ANNOYING.
Anyone who can assist that would be awesome.
Thanks! 🙂

Whatsapp has recently announced that its latest update will have quite a few enhancements to their camera feature, somewhat like Snapchat they will also now offer their users to let them doodle on their pictures before sending it to their friends. The feature which was first launched by Snapchat next was made available a year later by Facebook and the latest Instagram stories also have kind of a similar feature.
What's surprising is Google is the next big name in communication and they also have this feature in their new Allo messenger. Now it has been high time as Whatsapp also gives us the option to add smileys to your pictures just to spice things up a bit, you can also do all this even to videos. But we think WhatsApp got a bit too late in line to get this feature as were only targeting the text messaging till now, not media sharing.
A spokesperson for Whatsapp also stated that they have also added some more enhancements features to make their camera feature generally more user friendly, but we personally think that they should have also thought of something new because it has been so long that Whatsapp was relying on text messages, as they really need to be ahead of competition in order to compete more.
According to this feature update, they have made clear that they will now start targeting users who are more inclined towards media sharing and are used to express themselves freely. The Whatsapp camera will now also support front facing flash like Snapchat, which means the screen of your handset will turn white so that you can take better pictures in dim light.
If the sources are to be believed the Whatsapp video will also get a zoom feature soon too, quality of which will be same as for the camera of your handset. But once again according to us all Whatsapp did was copy Snapchat, as they are also giving a new option to double tap and change the camera from front to rear and vice versa. This is it for now, stay tuned for more updates and interesting articles.

What is a sticker price?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "Sticker Price."
The sticker price is the dealer's advertised price for a new vehicle, displayed on the familiar window sticker, formally known as the "Monroney sticker." The sticker price reflects the manufacturer's suggested retail price, or MSRP, and any additional charges, such as the cost of transporting the car to the dealership.
A car's MSRP is not the same as its sticker price. The MSRP is the automaker's idea of what the dealership should charge for the vehicle. The sticker price is the dealer's ultimate asking price.

'Sorry Mr. Beck, This Building is Named After a Staunch Catholic, So You Can't Pray in Here'
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men — John F. Kennedy
Or don't pray at all if you're in a building named after John F. Kennedy.
From The Right Scoop:
Beck says that even though they rented the Kennedy Center for use on 8/27, they were told that they could not pray in the facility. That is beyond shocking. Apparently they finally relented, but I'm guessing that it's only because of who he is. Had it been you are me, we'd probably be in handcuffs after we disobeyed and prayed anyway.
The people who run the Kennedy Center probably figured that giving Beck's people a one-time-only pass to pray in the Kennedy Center might at least keep the crowd from going over to the Lincoln Memorial and singing the National Anthem — another no-no.

Just keep calling them out on how absurd their policies are!!! It will catch up with them! I can see November from my house, my cottage, my boat and my truck. All my worldly possessions that they want me to "share" with the drunk schmuck laying on the street in downtown Lansing at 5pm every day.

I just love Glenn`s "red phone" idea. "Call Me!!!" As far as I know it has wrung 3 times and only ONCE for a correction , which he led with on his very next radio and tv shows .
I am sooo impressed with Glenn`s stand against tyranny and restoring honor and his ongoing REAL history lessons .
Thanks Doug .

Story & photos by ARNO HOLSCHUH
Each step forward is a process: I put a foot down, tentatively, making sure the snow's crust will hold my weight, then scout around for my next step, slowly drawing the other foot up and setting it gently down. I can see that I'll be spending a lot of time in the snow today.
Snow blankets the valley I'm in, it sits on the peaks around me, coats the frozen lake below me. Everywhere I look is white a blinding, cold, harsh white that reflects up from the slushy ice. I've forgotten my sunglasses and can barely stand the brightness of sunlight reflecting up from the ground beneath me. My feet are soaked with melted snow, my hands are numb from reaching down to steady myself on steep slopes. Snow has become the most important thing in my life, with more power over my happiness than credit card bills, the National League pennant race or anything else I am accustomed to caring about.
I shouldn't be surprised at the icy conditions; it is late June, but when you're in the High Sierra, the snow often lasts until August. And I am definitely in the High Sierra: I'm approaching Muir Pass, a 12,300-foot-high notch between steep granite monoliths that stretch another thousand feet up on either side.
After hours of painstaking work, I finally reach the pass. A new ragged set of peaks stands watch over a new valley, and a new expanse of white awaits me. A low stone hut built by the Sierra Club in the 1930s stands to my left, and I watch idly as a marmot a high-altitude mammal that looks approximately like an overgrown chipmunk comes out of it to greet me.
I want to go inside that hut, sit down and take a break, eat a meal, maybe sleep for a couple days, but that's not going to happen. I can't afford to lose any time I still have another 20 miles to hike today.
After all, Canada isn't getting any closer with me just standing here.
A "thru-hiker"
Canada? No, I'm not on the run from the law or dodging the draft. I'm a "thru-hiker" on the Pacific Crest Trail.
A 2,700-mile-long path that runs from Mexico to Canada, the PCT passes through desert, swamp, volcanic wastelands, lush green forests, three states and several distinct mountain ranges. Each year, around 300 people attempt to hike the entire thing. This year I'm among them, rising each day with the sun and falling asleep just after dark some 25 or 30 miles further. Right now, I'm halfway done, having just completed mile 1,300.
And believe me, every one of those miles has counted. When you're driving, it's easy to let distance just sort of slip under your wheels. You can make it from Trinidad to Texas in a matter of days and never really notice the land. When you're walking, though, each mile has its own significance, its own challenge and potential for adventure.
And adventure comes in spades. It can be cresting a desert ridge just in time to see a coyote melt away into the cactus and scrub right in front of you. It could be hiking at night under a canopy of the brightest stars you've ever seen. Hearing a rattlesnake's unmistakable hiss and clatter may not sound like fun, but it's quite a rush.
One morning in late May, I woke up to find a thin layer of frost on my sleeping bag. Even though it was an inauspicious beginning to my day, I had to laugh; I was in the desert and I knew the temperature would be getting into the triple digits by early afternoon. But just then it was nothing but cold, and my light clothing wasn't enough to keep the shivers off my body. I started hiking, hoping to get warm through exertion. After about an hour, my hands still felt like ice cubes and my mood was not improving. Then I saw the hot springs.
Tucked away into a little ravine was a group of three hot springs, all of them channeled into little pools for passersby to soak themselves. I scurried down to the springs, nodded hello to the tribe of naked hippies who seemed to pretty much live inside the water, and soaked the lingering memory of that frost right out of my body.
Life is full of pleasant surprises on the PCT.
Befriending pain
It is well that it is so, for it is also full of pain. The human body is an amazing thing and can adapt to a wide variety of conditions. One thing it was definitely not designed to do, however, is hike 30 miles a day. When you stress your body, it complains, and the language of a body's complaint is pain. You grow closely acquainted with pain; it is not a monolithic sensation, but rather a broad spectrum or palette. There's the incessant sharp biting pain of a blister, the slow ache of a muscle being pushed too hard, the tender sensitivity of a sunburn.
But it's amazing what you'll put up with. Blisters are the most obvious example: Everyone gets them, especially at the very beginning of the hike, when you are walking across scalding-hot sands with fresh, soft feet. They become part of your life. I had an angry red spot the size of a quarter on the ball of my left foot that stubbornly refused to heal for a month. I eventually realized that the constant stream of expletives I was directing at the trouble spot didn't seem to be speeding the recovery process, so I started making friends with it instead. I named it "Alien Baby" and would periodically check on it just to make sure it was doing all right. The change in attitude made all the difference in the world.
Sound crazy? One does tend to go a little bonkers when stuck in the wild for so long. I hike alone, and the isolation breeds eccentricity. Take my patented hilltop ritual: When I get up over a high pass or a particularly difficult hill, I always make it a point to do a cheesy dance and sing a verse from a cheesy R and B song I hear constantly on the tiny little radio I carry. ("So fresh and so clean" by Outkast, just in case you're curious.) If that doesn't sound like a symptom of insanity, you obviously have never seen me dance.
And without the external stimulus of human interaction, the brain starts to manufacture its own conversations. I have had internal discussions about the intelligence of cats and composed soliloquies about the importance of being polite when struck in traffic.
Once, I spent three days in an intense debate about whether the idea of nation-states made any sense. All the while, the pine trees and cactus were scrolling past me in an eternal parade. If the lizards watching me from the sunbleached rocks along the side of the path thought it strange when I would abruptly stop in my tracks and start thinking out loud, they didn't mention it.
It's the kind of behavior I would never engage in if I wasn't alone. But with the exception of other hikers -- and they are sparsely distributed I live a lonely life right now. That's one reason that my occasional trip into a small town to resupply can be so much fun.
About twice a week, I'll hitchhike or walk into some tiny little outpost of civilization and pick up a package of food I've mailed to myself at the post office. Usually, I then go to the nearest store, get a beer and a package of donuts, sit down on the curb in front of the store, and revel in the easy accessibility of delicious empty calories. It is as close a feeling to heaven as I have ever known.
And the human interaction is wonderful. One sees a different side of California in towns like Tehachapi or Agua Dulce than one does on the coast. Eastern California's people are conservative, pleasant, generous and straightforward, closer in personality to Midwesterners than to the Angelenos with whom they share a state.
This becomes most clear when you're hitchhiking. In areas dominated by urban residents out on vacation -- Angeles National Forest or Yosemite, for example -- it can take hours to get a ride. Some people scowl, others shrug, and some look like they're apologizing. A surprisingly large number wave happily at you from the cockpit of their enormous, empty SUVs and continue on their way. These people want to express their desire to pick you up without actually having to do so.
Contrast that with the average rural resident: He or she will approach in a Ford pickup that's getting a little long in the tooth and either pick you up or ignore you and more often than not, they pick you up. Mountain people are like that, straightforward and honest.
Sometimes they can be a little bit too honest. Hitching back out to the trail after spending a couple days in the Eastern Sierra community of Bridgeport, I was picked up by three young millworkers who were on their way back from an exciting evening at one of Nevada's fine uh, gentlemen's clubs. Suffice it to say that as the ride progressed, they shared a finer-grained picture of their adventures than I wanted to see.
Half-way there
My own adventure is only halfway done. Even as I write this, my backpack sits behind me on the floor of a friend's home here in Arcata. Tomorrow or the day after, I'll have to stuff the gear back in the bag, walk out to the highway, and start hitching back to the bustling community of Hat Creek, where I left the trail.
I'll admit the idea is a little bit intimidating. It's nice to be back in a place where water comes out of a faucet and my conversations involve two parties.
It's a cliché, but it's true: You never know what you've got until it's gone, and Arcata has never seemed so nice as it does today.
But I know I'll go back soon. I see my reasons to leave everywhere I look: the telephone bills I don't have to pay any more, the traffic I'm never stuck in, the alarm clocks I don't ever have to set. The simplicity of the trail lifestyle has a very seductive call, at least after you get used to the blisters.
After all, Canada isn't getting any closer with me just sitting here.

Of calories, the Stones and bear repellent
IT IS NATURAL TO ASSUME THAT A PERSON trying to complete a hike from one end of the country to the other would want as wholesome a diet as possible. Wrong.
Most thru-hikers, myself included, eat a diet that would make your doctor and dentist scream in horror: My staples are salty crackers, ramen, peanut M and Ms, Snickers bars and heavily sugared oatmeal. The foods may be high in fat and empty calories, but when you're hiking 30-mile days, calories are pretty much what you need.
The only criteria that matter are how much a food weighs and how many calories it has, and I've long believed nothing has more calories per ounce than pure junk food. My belief in this dietary strategy was bolstered when I saw my friend and fellow hiker Mr. Bill stuffing an entire carton of Zingers into his backpack before leaving to tackle the Sierra.
In real life, Bill works as a nutritionist.
[At right, fellow thru-hiker stockpiles empty calories.]
^ ^ ^
Thru-hikers are obsessed with pack weight, plain and simple. When you're hiking all day, you kind of have to be, because the difference in physical condition and morale that 10 pounds can make is enormous. To that end, I carry a lightweight mummy sleeping bag, a tarp instead of a tent, rope and a cookstove that burns foul-smelling (but lightweight!) white tablets instead of gasoline. That, plus clothes, a cooking pot, food, water and some incidentals like a toothbrush, is it.
Oh, and my one true luxury: a CD player/radio. Even though listening to those same eight CDs I brought is getting repetitive I think I know all the words to the Stones' "Exile on Main Street" by heart it helps to keep the motivation level high. And the pack is still pretty minimal: I haven't weighed it in a while, but my guess is that it can't be more than 20 pounds.
^ ^ ^
Every backpacker in California has to contend with the possibility of a wild bear encounter. Black bears are smart, strong, fast, persistent and hungry, and they have figured out that every human is a potential source of Oreos. And they love Oreos.
Of course, so do I. And I carried the damn things on my back every day, so you can bet I'm going to try to defend them. I usually hang my food in a tree, although some bears have climbed high enough on the learning curve that this is no longer a safe way to protect food. Most thru-hikers try a simpler, more reckless approach: They use their food as a pillow. This has the advantage of being effective; bears do not relish human contact and will not usually try to take food right out of your hands. But if they ever did, the human would likely get a bit roughed up in the process; guarding your food is a pretty gutsy way to go.
My favorite method is the "dirty sock" approach. Bears are reputed to hate the way humans smell. As you can imagine, after a few hundred miles and a few weeks, our socks start to get pretty ripe. Laundromats can be few and far between. It is not unusual to see a thru-hiker painstakingly arrange his dirty socks in a protective circle around his food bag in the hope that the bear would be so nauseated by the smell that he loses interest. After smelling some of the socks involved, I can assure you that they were enough to make me lose my appetite.

Rising in the polls, Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul drew at least 600 people to the Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center in Bettendorf on Wednesday to hear a 45-minute speech on the ills of the federal debt, foreign wars and declining liberties.
The Texas congressman has been touring eastern Iowa the last couple of days, drawing large crowds. And he said things have changed from four years ago, when he finished fifth in the Iowa caucuses. "There's a lot of people like you that are waking up," he said.
Paul's crowd, which his campaign first estimated at 600-plus and later said topped 800, is the largest for a single candidate's event in the Quad-Cities this year. And though he didn't take questions from the audience, Paul's monologue drew several cheers and even one, "We love you, Ron."
After the remarks, he mingled with the crowd.
During his speech, Paul complained about American foreign policy, the $15 trillion debt and a culture he says rewards Wall Street, Washington, D.C., and politicians, leaving the middle class holding the bag.
"They're not hearing you. They're still piddling around. They're not cutting back anything. Have they shrunk the size of government? Are they advising that we bring these troops home and change our foreign policy - and at least get the Fed audited," he asked.
"Maybe someday we'll get rid of the Fed!" he added as the crowd erupted in applause.
Paul has proposed cutting $1 trillion out of the federal budget in a single year. Some of his rivals have called that unrealistic.
Even as Paul rises in some polls, many national analysts say they don't think he can win the nomination, a claim his campaign pushes back hard against. Still, party leaders in this area say he could very well win Iowa, though. "I don't see why not? There's four of them that are right up there," said John Ortega, a state central committeeman from Bettendorf.
That prospect has raised fears among some party regulars that a Paul win could endanger Iowa's traditional leadoff spot in the nominating calendar. One veteran party leader told Politico this week a Paul win would be "mortal" to the caucuses.
In an interview before the event, Paul shrugged off that notion. "I didn't know democracy was so bad. I didn't know that it was arbitrary, and it was only good depending on who wins," he said.
Bob Hughes of Davenport, who backed Paul four years ago, said he sees a better organization this time. Asked if he thought Paul can win the election, he said with a laugh: "I do now."

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To store large-capacity data with a high-speed transfer rate by propagating series light signals converted to digital data through a light guide of a cyclic storage device.
SOLUTION: A light signal time-sharedly multiplexing means multiplexes the series light signals converted by an electric signal-light signal conversion means and series light signals to be rewritten to the light guide means in the series light signals read out from a light guide means by the time-shared system and writes the series light signals into the light guide means. The series light signals are read out by a light signal time-sharedly multiplexing separation means after being propagated through the light guide. When these signals are to be written to the light guide means again synchronization is made to rewrite the series light signals to the light guide means and based on this synchronization the series light signals are written into the light signal time-sharedly multiplexing means.

Wilson signs to play at Loyola Marymount
Deciding between two sports that one loves is a difficult decision, but Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles helped make the choice a little easier for Tolleson's Billy Wilson.
The football quarterback and baseball outfielder wanted to play both sports in college, but when Loyola made him a scholarship offer for baseball that was tough to pass up, he accepted.
"It's definitely a blessing for me and my family," Wilson said. "First of all, it gives me a chance to go to a really good school and not have to worry about the price being an issue. I love football and all but it is a bruising sport, so it's nice to be on the baseball field, something you can do every day, you always feel good doing it; it's a fun sport."
Loyola is giving Wilson $47,000 per year to go there, where tuition is $53,000. It's a highly academic school, which suits Wilson.
"After I visited them, me and my parents sat down for a good couple hours and talked about what would be best for me and work out best in the future, and No. 1 is education; Loyola Marymount is a good school," Wilson said. "Also, location. They [parents] want me to get used to not having them right next to me, which is going to be hard but hopefully I'll get over that. And the campus, it's one of the most beautiful campuses I've ever seen."
Although playing football was a big interest of Wilson's while looking for colleges, the decision came down to what Loyola offered, in addition to how taxing football can be on the body.
"My parents kind of talked me out of football and got me thinking about my future and the damages football could do and the whole thing with concussions being a big issue," Wilson said. "That all came into the decision. I would still love to play football but my parents had a big influence with me. Whatever makes my parents happy makes me happy."
There were other schools that sent Wilson informational letters, he said. However, the only other college he considered during the process was Grand Canyon University. Wilson wants to leave the state though.
"A lot of times people say they will play anywhere," Tolleson baseball coach Scott Richardson said. "He said Washington, Oregon, California. We were able to focus our energies on those places and contacted some people."
Wilson played in the Area Code Baseball tryouts in Flagstaff, and immediately impressed the Loyola coaches.
"The first game, I think he had a home run, a triple, made two outstanding plays in the outfield, threw a guy out at third," Richardson said. "After that the coaches said, 'We want him. We want a verbal from him today, we're going to talk to his parents, we want to build our program around him.'"
The news surprised Wilson, who didn't think he had done anything outstanding at the tryouts.
"It honestly caught me off guard, I didn't think I performed very well," Wilson said. "When we went there I hadn't really played baseball in a while and we just had come off an 11-hour football passing league event, so my arm was kind of hanging, kind of sore. I gave it my all, flew around and I think that's what it came down to."
Wilson wants to study athletic training in college, but said Loyola recently dropped that program. Now, he's deciding between economics, psychology and philosophy.
Program excitement
Having an athlete receive a significant scholarship to a Division I school is exciting for Richardson as a coach, he said. It's also special for him in another way.
"He's played with my son since they were 8 years old, so seeing him develop through the years makes it even more special," Richardson said. "It's almost like a family member. He's been around and is a good kid. … It's a big honor for our program for this to happen."
Wilson really flourished as a junior, batting .413 last season. He had 13 extra-base hits, including six triples, while leading the team with 43 hits and 44 runs scored, all while hitting out of the leadoff spot. Wilson also stole 23 bases in 25 attempts.
"He might be our best offensive threat, but I hate wasting him in the 3-hole driving in runs because he causes so much havoc at the front part of the lineup," Richardson said. "When he's on the bases we see more fastballs down in the order because they don't want to throw breaking balls with his threat to run."
Wilson also excelled in the outfield, playing left. He'll shift over to center this year now that Johnny Garcia has graduated. The two were very good friends, Wilson said.
"Johnny was like my teacher, he taught me everything I know in high school baseball," Wilson said. "It was kind of tough when he left but he gave me a lot of knowledge, taught me a lot of the little things. He's a master of the little things."
Wilson is excited about his senior season of baseball now that his college commitment is locked up. He didn't want to have to stress about it during the year.
"All last year, Johnny, his senior year, he was worrying about where he was going to go for college and what was going to happen with that, and it's nice to get that out of the way and know that coming up senior year I'm just focusing on playing baseball and getting better as a player, going out and performing on game days," Wilson said.
Wilson has the potential to be even better, as his raw athleticism is what professional and college scouts look for, Richardson said.
"His ceiling right now is unlimited because he's never played baseball 12 months out of the year," Richardson said. "That's kind of what the pro guys and college guys are thinking, how good could this guy be if he plays baseball year round? The physical tools he possesses already, can we refine some of that? The tag that's always been on him is raw athlete. Now he's going to get the opportunity to fine tune some of his baseball skills, and it's exciting to see how far that's going to take him."
It's still a long ways from when Wilson will take the field at Loyola, but he's already got some comfort in knowing he can try to win a job right away.
"They did say they want me to go out and compete my freshman year for a spot, so I'll be working hard to earn that spot," Wilson said. "I don't really care where I play in the outfield, as long as I'm on the field I'll be happy."
