Mussini offers brilliance and purity with the highest lightfastness. Mussini provides an extensive range of transparent and semi-transparent glaze pigments. Schmincke Mussini Oil Colors are available in 1.2 oz (35 ml) tubes.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
chromium(III)-oxide dehydrate
Cr2O3 • 2 H2O or Cr2(OH3)
Viridian is the standard green and is stable, powerful, and cold with an emerald green undertone. It has a transparent hue, good tinting strength, a dark masstone that can be almost black at full strength, and a slow drying time in oil form. Viridian is commonly replaced by the darker, more saturated, and staining Phthalo Greens, but its properties make it a necessary part of the palette of an experienced landscape painter.
Viridian has excellent permanence, except in high-temperature work, and is highly valued as a glazing color.
Viridian is slightly toxic.
Viridian's name comes from the Latin viridis, meaning green. The process for manufacturing Viridian, or Transparent Oxide of Chromium, was patented by Guignet in Paris in 1859. However, it had actually been discovered by Pannetier and Binet in 1838. Viridian replaced Verdigris, which was reactive and unstable, and Emerald Green, which was a poisonous copper aceto-arsenite used as a rat poison in the sewers of Paris.
Emerald Chromium Oxide, Emeraude Green, French Veronese Green, Guignet's Green, Pannetier's Green, Permanent Green, Smaragd Green, Transparent Oxide of Chromium, Vert Emeraude. Casali's Green and Mittler's Green are varieties of Viridian. Viridian has historically been sold under the name Emerald Green, but they are currently considered to be and are marketed as two different pigments.
iron(III)-oxide, hydrated
Fe2O3 • H2O
Yellow Ochre provides artists with earthtones from cream to brown. It has good hiding power, produces a quick drying paint, and can be safely mixed with other pigments. Its transparency varies widely from opaque shades to more transparent ones, which are valued for their use as glazes. If gypsum is present, Yellow Ochre is not suitable for frescoing. (See Brown Ochre, PY43.) PY42 is made from synthetic iron oxides. PY43 is made from natural iron oxide.
Yellow Ochre has excellent permanence because ochres are some of the most permanent pigments available.
Yellow Ochre is non-toxic unless it contains manganese.
Ochre comes from the Greek word ochros, meaning pale yellow. It was one of the first pigments to be used by human beings, and evidence of its use has been found at 300,000 year old sites in France and the former Czechoslovakia.
Chamois, Iron Yellow, Mars Orange, Mars Yellow, Minette, Ochre, Sil, Yellow Earth, Yellow Oxide. Varieties of Yellow Ochre include Brown Ochre, Flesh Ochre, Roman Ochre, Spruce Ochre, and Transparent Gold Ochre.
iron oxides
FeO or Fe2O3
Mars Black is an opaque black with a strong and cool masstone, a slightly warm tint, and a warm brown undertone. It is not as black as Ivory Black, but it dries more quickly and has three times the tinting strength. Mars Black is normally the only black available in acrylic form and that is safe to over paint. It can be used in all media without reservation and is widely used as an alternative to Lamp Black and Ivory Black.
Mars Black is very lightfast with excellent permanence.
Mars Black has no significant hazards and is the only major black pigment considered non-toxic.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Black was developed in the early 20th century from inorganic, synthetic iron oxide.
Black Iron Oxide, Iron Black, Magnetic Oxide, Mapico Black, Mineral Black. Sometimes labeled as Vine Black.
Zinc White is the coolest white, and it has a cold, clean masstone and a slightly bluish tint. It has less hiding power and is more transparent than other whites. It dries slowly and is good for painting wet into wet and for glazing and scumbling. Zinc White is neither as opaque nor as heavy as Lead White, its covering power is not as good, and it takes much longer to dry. However, it does not blacken when exposed to sulfur in the air as Lead White does. It is very valuable for making tints with other colors. Unmixed Zinc White dries to a brittle and dry paint film that may crack over the years, so it is not good for frescoing. It is more transparent in acrylic form than Titanium White and is the most commonly used white with gouache. Chinese White is a version of Zinc White appropriate for opaque watercolor techniques.
Zinc White has great permanence and lightfastness.
Zinc White is moderately toxic if ingested and slightly toxic if inhaled.
Though historians are divided on who first isolated the element zinc, they agree that it was first suggested as a white pigment in 1782. Zinc White was accepted as a watercolor in 1834 and was called Chinese White due to the popularity of oriental porcelain in Europe at the time. Ten years later, a suitable oil form was produced. By the early 20th century, it had improved to the point where it was an acceptable alternative to Flake White.
Chinese White, French White, Permanent White, Silver White, Snow White, Zinc Oxide.

President Barack Obama promised to make overhauling the immigration system a top priority in his first year as president. He's now in Year Two, and the odds that he'll get to sign a bill before the November midterm elections appear long.
Grass-roots activists frustrated by the wait for a new system are organizing a rally Sunday on the National Mall by what they hope will be thousands of people from across the country voicing their displeasure at the pace of action.
In meetings last week, Obama sought to assure activists and the two senators who are drafting a bill of his "unwavering" commitment to comprehensive immigration overhaul. But the White House has also signaled that the issue is not among the legislative priorities it wants completed before the entire House and one-third of the Senate face voters in November.
Asked about the priorities after health care, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said financial regulation, energy legislation and watering down a recent Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance are among the "big priorities" — not to mention jobs and the economy.
Gibbs said nothing would happen on immigration without strong bipartisan support. "It's got to be more than the president wants to get something done," he said.
How to handle the estimated 12 million people in the U.S. illegally is a volatile issue, with some interests opposing any attempt to help them become citizens and others insisting on stronger border controls first. Lawmakers failed to agree in 2006 and 2007 when they last tried to overhaul the immigration system, and the political climate this year is tougher than it was back then.
Advocates remain hopeful and say Congress has plenty of time to send Obama a bill by November.
Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., released an outline of their bill Thursday, and Obama pledged "to do everything in my power" to get immigration legislation moving through Congress this year.
The outline calls for illegal immigrants who want to get on the path to legal status to admit they broke the law by entering the U.S., pay fines and back taxes, and perform community service. They also would be required to pass background checks and be proficient in English before working toward legal residency, required before becoming a citizen.
Advocates welcomed the outline, but would prefer an actual bill in Congress.
"Now it's up to Congress and the president to advance legislation that combines these elements," said Frank Sharry, executive director of the immigration advocacy group America's Voice. "Given how long we have been debating the need for comprehensive immigration reform, the American people want and deserve nothing less."
Rally organizer Gabe Gonzalez credited pressure by grass-roots groups for progress on the issue.
Obama has put Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in charge of overseeing the immigration overhaul effort, and she has sought support for it in dozens of meetings with lawmakers from both parties since the beginning of last year.
Her department also has taken steps to improve the existing system by focusing deportations of undocumented immigrants on those with criminal histories and by going after employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants, rather than the workers themselves.
But those steps haven't eased the anger and disappointment felt by immigration advocates and Latinos, who voted heavily for Obama in the 2008 presidential election largely because of his promise.
Obama has said the system needs to be fixed to better track who comes in and out of the U.S., crack down on employers who hire undocumented workers and help those people come out of the shadows and contribute to society, including paying taxes. He wants them to register, pay a fine, learn English and not skip ahead of anyone already in the citizenship pipeline.
"It will be one of my priorities on my first day (as president) because this is an issue that we have demagogued," candidate Obama told the National Association of Latino Elected Officials in June 2008. "There's been a lot of politics around it, but we haven't been serious about solving the problem. And I want to solve the problem."
He told the League of United Latin American Citizens the following month: "I will make it a top priority in my first year as president."
Five months after taking office, Obama said after a White House meeting in June 2009 with a bipartisan group of about 30 lawmakers that immigration overhaul would be a difficult undertaking. But he said work on it must get under way that year.
By August 2009, the rhetoric had changed.
Asked about immigration overhaul at a news conference during a visit to Mexico, Obama said changing the system would have to wait until 2010 while he focused on other priorities, such as overhauling the health care and financial regulatory systems.
In appearances after that, Obama promised action but dropped references to any timetable.

Johnny U. made that kind of difference on the psyche of a city. And he raised the expectations that a city has for itself, and, to its credit, Baltimore delivered.
Whenever the debate about quarterbacks and who was the best occurred, Baltimoreans could sit back and let the debate roll on and then end the debate just by saying "Johnny U." Game, set, match. Indisputable fact. And that fact instilled a real pride in this Baltimorean.
So that's a thank you to Johnny U. for increasing the self-esteem and the perceived and actual worth of an entire city just by doing his job.
-Drew Carberry, Chicago
I remember back in 1960 or 1961, Saint Patrick's Church would hold a fathers/sons communion breakfast on Mother's Day. I was just 10 or 11 at that time. As was the custom, a local sporting figure would be asked to give a talk. That year, Johnny Unitas was the guest speaker.
He not only gave the talk, he attended Mass, ate breakfast with the gathering and stayed until the end.
Along with our pastor and my father, we walked Mr. Unitas back to his car parked on Broadway. My father was a longshoreman and, of course, a Colts fan. I remember the pastor and my father talking with the legendary Johnny Unitas as if he were just another regular guy.
Me, I was speechless! He put his arm around me as we walked. I don't think my feet ever touched the ground on that trip to the car. I'll never forget that day.
May God bless Johnny Unitas and his family.
-Patrick M. Wojciechowski, White Hall
What I remember whenever I saw or talked about John Unitas is my grandfathers.
They were both hard working, blue-collar Baltimoreans who loved the Colts. I'm sure neither would have cared much for today's flashiness and grandstanding and would no doubt comment on how Johnny U. would do his job, perform his miracle, and get off the field.
Johnny Unitas did more than people know in making sure that football in this town wasn't about the Colts or the Ravens, but about Baltimore.
Not only did he bridge generations of football fans, he himself was a bridge to fond memories about my late grandfathers.
When John died, it made me think of them again, and for that I am grateful. Many people will remember John for his football accomplishments. I'll remember him for what he did for me, a man he never met.
-David Hughes, Dundalk
Johnny U. literally reinvented his position.
He created the two-minute drill, including the spiked ball to stop the clock. He developed the timed pass thrown to a spot on the field where the receiver would be at a pre-determined number of seconds from the snap of the ball.
And together with Ray Berry, he developed the pass thrown out of bounds that Berry would grab with his body, legs, and arms fully extended - reaching nearly horizontally out of bounds while he dragged his feet barely in play to make the catch that Unitas had thrown deliberately toward the bench.
Not the most physically endowed, but he was impossible to unnerve and fellow opponents would swear he had ice water in his veins.
Unitas was a true innovator and gambler, and the NFL owes much of its success today to those early days of TV when Unitas worked his magic.
Hats off to you, sir - Mr. John Unitas.
-Ron Cucina, Nottingham
My father was a big Colts fan. Needless to say, that made him a big Johnny Unitas fan.
Born in 1969, I never had a chance to see the great Unitas play. But I knew what he meant to my dad, this city and to the sport of football.
When I began going to the Colts games in 1976, I heard the whispers in Section 8 Upper. "Unitas would have got it in there" or "Unitas wouldn't have thrown that interception."
I heard it enough to know how good he was without ever seeing him play.
It's not always the game that makes you a fan. Sometimes it's just the man playing whose talent and persona rise above all others.
-Dwayne Showalter, Jarrettsville
The passing of Johnny U. brought back 40-year-old memories of touch football games on Laurel Drive as fresh as yesterday: "Down and out." "Down, out, and long." "Go Long." "Stop and go." "Buttonhook." "Three completes for a first down."
Thank you, Mr. Unitas, for giving us something to aspire to. We were all No. 19.
-David Feigelson, Memphis, Tenn.
"Time will not dim the glory of his deeds."
It is impossible to compare athletes of one era to another since they do not play on the same fields, but their characters do play in the same arena as chronicled in the media.
With John Unitas, we got greatness with dignity, humility and grace.
-Dave Reich, Perry Hall
Johnny U. played in an era that is so different from today, an era when first downs were simply part of the job, and certainly never celebrated, an era when defenses were not just allowed but encouraged to "manhandle" quarterbacks, an era that expected quarterbacks to think ... and to call their own plays!
My intent is not to disparage systems and personalities of today, just to point out especially to younger readers that football has grown enormously, in part due to No. 19 and his peers.
Always keep in mind that many quarterbacks have been compared to Johnny Unitas, yet he is never compared to anyone else.
-Bob Straub, Cleveland
I read Michael Olesker's article Thursday ["Toughest Colt lifted up a city"], and I want to say I thought it really captured who Johnny Unitas was.
I play with the Baltimore City Pipe Band and every year we played at the Golden Arm on St. Patrick's Day when Johnny owned it. He always made it a point to visit with us when we were on a break.
He really was a regular guy who did great things. He made everyone feel comfortable.
-Ed McFarland, Baltimore
The untimely passing of John Unitas should serve as the impetus for the Maryland Stadium Authority and the City of Baltimore to ensure lasting recognition of four men who are such an indelible part of the Baltimore region's social fabric.
I suggest the following steps:
1. Rename as Brooks Robinson Park.
2. Rename Ravens Stadium as John Unitas Stadium.
3. Rename the portion of Eutaw Street south of Pratt Street as Chuck Thompson Way.
4. Name the combined baseball/football downtown facilities as The William Donald Schaefer Sports Complex at Camden Yards.
-David Robinette, Pasadena
The Ravens have a golden opportunity to show us that there is a much more important side to professional sports than money. Although the naming rights to stadiums are worth millions to NFL team owners, there is little doubt that Johnny Unitas deserves to be permanently memorialized in the city of Baltimore by naming the stadium after him.
By taking such an action, the Ravens can reclaim the integrity of professional sports, which Major League Baseball nearly destroyed once and for all this past summer.
-Scott Appelbaum, Catonsville
Johnny Unitas was and always will mean Baltimore pro football.
On a team of greats, Johnny U., above all, personified the Baltimore Colts, and he gave his heart and support to the Baltimore Ravens during the good times and the bad.
Today, pro football has come to mean big business and big money, but to dedicated players of the game and to the fans, it is first of all about heart - the heart to play hard and well, and the heart to never give up on the home team.
Johnny Unitas' great heart has been suddenly stilled, but his spirit and heart live on in his city of Baltimore, and among football fans everywhere.
The petition to name the Ravens' stadium after Unitas is both a plea and a challenge to the Baltimore Ravens to do the right thing.
Ravens, put Johnny Unitas' name on our stadium. Find a way.
-James J. Kotmair, Baltimore
I was fortunate to meet Mr. Unitas last year, and I spoke with him one-on-one for five to 10 minutes.
He spoke to me as if he knew me. I can't imagine any other professional athlete who has been labeled the greatest of all-time by most doing the same. He was a special man!
Hopefully, we will be watching all future Ravens football games at the renamed John C. Unitas Memorial Stadium.
-J. McDonald Kennedy, Baltimore
Johnny Unitas was not only the greatest quarterback who ever lived, he was also a very good person. He gave unselfishly of himself to many charitable causes and was always very humble and modest.
Here is a man who by football standards was small, yet in spite of his size he went on to set many NFL records. I can only imagine the pain that he suffered day in and day out being tackled by men twice his size, yet he still always managed to get the job done. He never complained; he just continued to play and play exceedingly well.
I don't know if they are going to change the name of our football stadium to honor him, but nobody deserves to have a football stadium named after him more than this great man.
-Murphy Edward Smith, Baltimore
Baltimore football and Johnny Unitas were synonymous. I never saw someone held with so much reverence by a generation than that of Johnny Unitas and my parents' generation.
He was one of us through and through. His gangly frame even made him look like one of us. His hunched shoulders and saddle-walk gait gave him a signature awkwardness that we all identified with. He took what God gave him and he gave us and our city an identity.
Mr. Unitas transcended football. He gave us all a message ... to believe in yourself, give others a chance, and it will all work out.
-Terry Woods, Cockeysville
In the early 1980s, I was at to board a flight to visit my mother in Florida. While waiting to check in, I happened to turn around, and there stood Mr. John Unitas.
Normally, I don't ask athletes for autographs because of their questionable manners. I took a chance and asked him for his autograph for my mother.
He literally bowed to me and asked my mother's name and proceeded to write her a lovely note. My mother is an 87-year-old New York Giants fan, who always said that Mr. Unitas was the greatest quarterback that ever lived.
For me, he will always be the classic gentleman who set the standard for other NFL players.
-Maria DeMeo, Baltimore
Growing up in Washington, I was privileged to see the first of the truly great quarterbacks, "Slingin' " Sammy Baugh. We all saw Joe Montana do his magic on TV. But in between those two greats was the man who sat on top of the mountain - John Unitas.
His record of performance speaks for itself. He was without peer. He defined forever the position of quarterback.
When Baugh retired, he left town for Texas and seldom returned. Our D.C. hero was merely a sports hero. John Unitas stayed here and gave of himself to the citizens of Baltimore in both business ventures and personal appearances.
He made the city as proud of him as he had when he was on the football field. He may have passed from us, but he will never be gone. His legacy will live forever.
-Michael Baker, Baltimore

Memorial Day. Just another three-day weekend, right? Well, many of our younger generation may not know the actual day is May 30, although this year we celebrate it on May 27, blending it into another traditional long weekend.
Since I am an elderly member of our society, I always knew what it was to honor our country's veterans — I am one of them having served in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1963.
Today's column is about the honor and pride I have for our military, both active and retired.
I am not much of a drinker but I recently acquired a taste for bourbon – bourbon balls, that is. I also gained a new respect for the woman who invented them.
Dear Savvy Senior,
What types of new home technologies can you recommend to help me keep tabs on my elderly mother? She lives alone, about an hour's drive from me, and I worry about her safety.
Concerned Daughter
Dear Concerned,
Helping an aging parent remain independent and living in his or her own home has become a little easier in recent years, thanks to a host of new and improved assistive technology products. Here are some top rated options you should know about:
Medical Alerts
In my many years as a mental health professional, I am amazed at how many people I have witnessed who spend an enormous amount of time, and often large sums of money, taking good care of their physical health with very little time spent with the balance of what also really counts — their spiritual and emotional self.

Ready to Retire
Dear Ready,
Well, I hope you read last week's column. If not, let me briefly explain: we all have pasts, pasts that have perhaps helped us and incidences from those pasts that have hindered us in our adult years. Those instances may continue to have negative effects on our lives unless we learn how to begin "shedding" those things, which we may have struggled with in the years before emerging into adulthood.

I'll admit it: I find the current Entenmann's promotion highly adorable.
In it, their most popular donut, named Rich, last name Frosted, is finally making an honest lady of his "Mrs. Rich Frosted". I mean, the jig is up--where did all those mini donuts and "pop-ems" (donut holes) come from?
So finally, on his 40th Birthday, which is coming up on January 31, "Rich" the donut dude is going to reveal who his baby-mama is (on facebook, natch). What flavor is she, do you think?
• Glazed Buttermilk Donut?
• Crumb Cake Donut?
• Plain Donut?
• Powdered Donut?
Well, you can guess, but the big reveal will happen soon--the "Mrs." will be revealed on Rich's birthday on January 31, 2013, plus a variety of prizes for all Entenmann's Facebook fans!
But wait, there's more. Not only will "Rich" be celebrating the New Year and his 40th birthday- he'll also be celebrating the 400,000,000th Rich Frosted Donut to be coming off the production line in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. That's a "hole" lotta dough!
And for you, dear readers, there's a possible prize pack. It includes:
- 1 Rich Frosted T-shirt
- Entenmann's Travel Mug
- 2 Entenmann's Coupons
Personally, I love giveaways like this because the merch is the kind of stuff that is really kitschy and fun as the years go by--I love buying stuff like this at second hand stores, so I think it's fun to have the original promotional stuff.
How do you enter? It's so easy. Either leave a comment on this post, or on my Facebook page, saying what flavor donut you think Rich's missus should be. I'll choose a winner on the 31st, to coincide with the "reveal"! The prize will be sent directly to the recipient from Entenmann's.
More info about the Entenmann's product line can be found at bimbobakeriesusa.com and entenmanns.com.
It's Jenna, who said "The plain donut of course! because she is subtle, understated, demure and oh so amazing on the inside!! :)"
Congratulations Jenna, and everyone else, tune in soon for the next giveaway!

2013 and Earlier - Toyota Prius Prices Paid and Buying Experiences
Share your next generation Prius shopping experiences here!
roy2001 Posts: 62I think price for 2010 Prius is pretty reasonable that dealers would mark it up. I plan to get a option II after sunner, hope I can get it close to, if not below, 22k.0
My dealer called to say he had pricing on the 2010 Prius. He is to send it to me at my home email tonight.0
You're in luck. I believe the Prius II will have a MSRP of $22,000 (includes shipping)
And the Prius I will be $21,000 and available later this fall0
My dealer was wrong. The price did not include shipping. Here's Toyota's link just out on pricing of the 2010 Prius. I'm in the process of trying to get a 2010 Blue Ribbon Prius V + NAV
http://pressroom.toyota.com/pr/tms/toyota/toyota-announces-prices-for-2010-89249- .aspx0
..on a Prius V, Blue Ribbon w/ tan leather and NAV! Hopefully early June0
luvthesuninca Posts: 17Yep. Me too! I wonder if the colors are the same0
I woulod assume the Blue Ribbon is the same color as the Camry's Blue Ribbon.0
My Toyota dealer (small town, low volume) advised me that Toyota was delaying shipment for several months of the 2010 Prius. Anyone else hear that, or have any information?0
He may not have an allocation, being a small dealer, but they are already on the boat and showing up in the computers according to PriusChat0
Thanks, I had hoped they would not be delayed .... That is why I stated it was small town and low volume dealer.
There are large dealers in the area, and I will check with them.0
As much as I would like to have one as soon as they come out, my small dealer is not sure when his allocation will arrive. He has put in for my preferred package, but to get it exactly I may have to be patient. I don't really want to go to a large dealer, I am willing to wait to give these guys my business locally.0
Truthfully, I can wait also. But I have a hunch that gasoline prices are going to take a major hike soon (the only way congress can get us to buy "green.") I have not yet driven a Prius, so it is all a bit speculative at this time. The dealer has several 2009's, but there are features about the 2010 I like.
Thanks again.0
I have experience driving the HH and TCH so the system is familiar. My neighbor has two and I've followed blogs closely, but still I had never driven a Prius. So I drove a 2009 last week just to see if I could consider it, knowing the new one should handle and ride a little differently with the 17" wheels and stiffer shocks. The deep windshield will probably be the thing that takes the most getting used to. I found it to be roomy, but the 2010 will have less leg room in the back. However I just need to put two car seats in the back 99% of the time (grandkids) so the Highlander Hybrid will serve as transportation when there are more than 2 adults.
Considering why I'm buying it I found no reason not to want the 2010 model0
Joe, the MSRP on the Prius II is $22000 prior to shipping and handling and excluding mats of any kind. I'm estimating that the II model will be right at $23000 or slightly above.0
Some are here already on the W Coast. I believe that the EC vessel arrives around 5-29 then add a couple of weeks to the stores.0
You know me, I'm looking for a Prius V with Nav. I caught myself looking at the CTS again today so the Prius needs to come soon.0
shay2 Posts: 9Seems to be a glut of 2009 Prius in Northern California. Dealer told me they already had deposits on 75. Also said that toyota was going to slowly release them to keep up the "anticipation"0
Word out on PriusChat is they will all go on sale the first of June rather than trickle in and hit the streets. Perhaps every state or large city should have a BBQ party on the evening of June 1st after everyone picks up thier car from the first shipments. Everyone could come out together on that first day and see all the different colors and features.0
Hello -- I had a great experience here about 4 years ago getting help with buying my Civic. Now I'm back and thinking of getting a Prius now that they have a 0% deal and WA state tax exemption going. Last time was the first time I'd ever bought a new car, so I still have questions!
I may only want to buy the car at this time if I can get the 0% deal. If I can't get it, I'd prefer to wait awhile and look at my other options. My husband and I both have excellent credit, so I'm thinking if anyone can qualify, it should be us. How soon am I able to find out if I would qualify? Last time, financing was almost the last thing to happen. I called around to get quotes, then went down to test drive the car and spent some time waiting around for the finance guy to try and sell me all his junk. I was prepared with my own financing which they were able to beat.
Also, I'm wondering: Do you suppose they only offer these 0% deals when the rest of the deal works for them -- i.e. purchase price? If I haggle the price down far enough, will they suddenly say "Ooooh sorry, no 0% for you" ? Seems logical (though disappointing).
I think that's it for now. Thanks in advance!0
The 0% is from Toyota Finance not the dealer. I see no reason from what you've said to think you wouldn't qualify. Visit the dealer strike the deal and follow the process. You can always walk out.0
As wvgasguy noted that financing offer comes from Toyota Financial Services/Toyota Motor Sales.
It gives the buyers the option of a $1000 rebate OR 0% financing for 60 days, but not both AND it applies only to the remaining 2009 models currently in stock...not the 2010 models soon to arrive.
If you want one you shop and haggle and decide soon. Whatever models are left on the lots are the last ones so your choices might be limited0
Sounds good -- I'm on it today...
See, I learn something new with each car-buying experience -- you're saying there may only be a conflict when these special offers come from the dealer in particular -- not the manufacturer?
rbk3 Posts: 34Civic,
Good luck and make it fun!
Call the finance department and ask them what credit score is needed to qualify for the 0%. If you fall in the window, you're good to go.
The reason I'm posting is to remind you and anyone else,
"Be prepared for the Finance Manager calling the following morning telling you the loan did not go through". They will usually try to extract additional interest from you.
ie: 2.9%, 3.9%, 4.9% etc. If they try this on you. Tell the Finance guy you will be returning the vehicle in 10 minutes. He will call back and tell you the loan was approved.
Same thing applies when negotiating the initial deal with finance. They will tell you, "you qualify for a higher rate" to feel you out. If you take the bait, they win!
Have a copy of your credit score before ever entering a dealership!0
A lot of what you mentioned is old stuff.
Yes everyone should have a good knowledge of their personal credit score, but see below*. The procedures in the Toyota system are simple. Your Fico score falls into different 'tiers'. If your score is Tier 3 and higher you automatically qualify for the 0%....providing your debt to income level is not out of whack. This is a new requirement for nearly all banks.
*We had two married military officers both with FICO scores over 700 but every scrap of credit was maxxed out. They had a Hummer and I believe a Bimmer on credit and they wanted to buy a Corolla for their daughter. No bank or lender would accept the loan. This is the new 'make or break' criteria.
*A lady with a 750 score had bills totalling $5500 a month and wanted to finance a new Sequoia for $750 a month. Her stated monthly income was $3000!!! In the past before the credit crisis she would have been approved in a heartbeat. Now no bank would take the loan.0
Thanks to both of you -- I did give my local dealer a call to ask about the tiers, and it looks like we'll be fine. I'll post back to let you know how it goes if/when it's all done. This web site is so helpful0
archer1 Posts: 4Well I did it. I bought my Prius tonight. I made an offer of $21,000 plus taxes out the door on a #2 package to my local dealer. They said they would take it with $399.00 dealer handling fees added on. I turned it down and said I would shop around. The first delaer I called in Denver "Go Toyota" said yes and I had a short but pleasant buying experience. the MSRP on my Prius is $24568.00. They sold it for $3568.00 below sticker. I financed through my own bank and was given a 4.99% rate (fair). I then put 200 miles on my new car tonight, mostly highway and the onboard computer read 43 MPG average. My average speed was between 70 and 75 mph. So far I could not be happier. My other vehicle is a 2006 3/4 ton 4x4 Dodge diesel. It will be spending alot of time parked from now on on!!!!!0
Great job and good negotiating. That fuel economy is pretty typical right out of the box for highway speeds of 70-75 mph. There's a 5000 mi and a 10000 mi 'breakin' ( nothing that you have to do ) and familiarity issues that will increase your FE values up to the 45-50 mpg range.
Your net after about a year's driving should be in the 47-49 mpg range.0
I've got inquiries out to several dealerships -- sent them late last night. So far I've only heard from 3 with actual information. I'm also looking for a Package 2, (flexible on color), and the lowest price I've gotten them to quote is $23,888. Planning to do the 0%, so no cash back offer. I am still hoping to get it for under $23,000, but many of the sales people have written that they are unwilling to "take a loss" since there are so few left and the new ones are coming very soon. The invoice, destination and package 2 come to $22,666 according to Edmunds, and the Edmunds TMV is $23,262. (I offered $22,500.)
I'm in Seattle, and I think they are pretty popular around here. Wonder if my timing is not so great or if it's a combination of factors. Or maybe this is just part of the runaround? It is still early in the day.
Would love to hear your thoughts!0
they are unwilling to "take a loss" since there are so few left and the new ones are coming very soon.
LOL, that's funny. I can understand them not wanting to take a loss, but I can't imagine them not wanting to clear the lot before the 2010 hits their dealership. having a 2010 sitting beside a 2009 will not be a good selling point for the old ones.0
Yeah, I must say this is definitely different than 4 years ago when I bought our Civic... It was easy to get a price over the phone, and I got it for very close to invoice vs. this which is over $1k above it. And the salespeople seem almost... standoffish. Definitely irritated. Maybe they figure they have so few left that they can easily sell it to someone who's not doing quite as much research?
We'll see! I've been without a car for 8 months, so if this doesn't work out, I will live.0

Two parents charged with falsifying student enrollment appeared before a judge Wednesday afternoon.
Charles Lauron, 51, waived his right to a pre-trial hearing and Judge Diana Wheeler ruled to pass his case on to a grand jury on Dec. 1.
Lauron is charged with owing the school district just over $26,000 after enrolling his son in Oldham County schools for eight years despite living in Lyndon.
John Buehner, 40, agreed to pay restitution of $596 to the school district for the 32 days his child attended school. Buehner claims to now be living at a La Grange address.
Buehner's case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning the school system can re-file charges officials determine Buehner is not actually residing in La Grange.
Investigations for the 2011-12 school year currently number 43 families with 63 children. Of those, 18 cases with 25 children have been resolved, while the rest are pending.

How to Turn Your Generosity Into Philanthropy
Before business school students set out to master capitalism, Stanford University lecturer Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen teaches them how to master philanthropy.
Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen, the wife of tech entrepreneur and investor Marc Andreessen and daughter of Silicon Valley property developer John Arrillaga, teaches four philanthropy courses at Stanford, including one at its business school. She also leads the recently founded Marc and Laura Andreessen Foundation and serves as a director of the Arrillaga Foundation, which focuses on Silicon Valley community projects.
To spread her message beyond Palo Alto, Calif., on Thursday Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen will release online all of her teaching notes and syllabi, along with a library of 26 case studies on philanthropy—a move that she hopes will enable more schools to bring philanthropy education into their course catalogs.
Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen, 42 years old, spoke with The Wall Street Journal about what makes a philanthropist—and what most donors get wrong. Edited excerpts:
WSJ: How do you define a philanthropist?
Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen: A philanthropist is anyone who gives time, money, experience, skills, networks [or] passion. The only thing that you need is generosity.
For example, [recently] after class I counseled a young computer science student who wanted to talk about how he could play a role in changing how engineering is taught globally. So we started developing a strategy for how he could start blogging, email professors, networking with other Stanford engineering alumni, and create some momentum through his own actions that have nothing to do with money, but rather have to do with his time, his intellect and his social capital.
Technology is disrupting the way we communicate, connect, create and consume, and philanthropy is no exception. Take [nonprofit lending platform] Kiva, which was actually co-founded by one of my former business school students, Jessica Jackley. We're talking about the rise of the $10 philanthropist, the $25 philanthropist.
Philanthropy is now accessible to anyone of any age, of any financial resources, in any geographic location.
WSJ: Why do people need more instruction in philanthropy?
Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen:Almost $300 billion was given by individuals, foundations and corporations [last year]. Individuals made up 82% of those gifts. Unfortunately, 65% of individual philanthropists give based purely on emotion, without any research behind their gifts.
I see this as massively untapped potential. Imagine the possibilities if tens of millions of givers were touching and transforming individual lives in a more meaningful way.
Extract a bit of the emotion and replace it with a bit of learning. If you don't understand how your generosity is translating into social good, your philanthropy will not be meaningful to you.
WSJ: You currently teach an elite group of Stanford students. Why start Giving 2.0 Project U, in which you'll post all your course materials online, for free?
Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen: There are somewhere between 125 and 150 university courses about philanthropy. I have the privilege of teaching about 450 students, but that's less than a fraction of 1% of the total college population who could benefit from philanthropy education. I want philanthropy to one day be a required course for every college student. Any educator can take any piece [of my materials] and develop whatever they think students are most hungry for.
WSJ: What do people get wrong about giving?
Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen: Individuals give sympathetically instead of strategically. They have no idea what success will look like for their gift, no idea how their generosity will translate into the world being a better place in a specific way, in a specific location, for a specific population.
Foundations typically exist in silos. They do not share knowledge. And they do not typically have formal mechanisms to understand what it is they want to accomplish, what it takes to get there and how they are going to course-correct along the way.
Corporations have extraordinary intellectual capital, extraordinary R&D, and for the most part they keep that internal as opposed to integrating it into social good that, in turn, will make the company more successful in terms of brand equity and product sales.
WSJ: Are any companies doing that?
Ms. Arrillaga-Andreessen: LinkedIn has this fantastic initiative in which they're utilizing their networks, and they are empowering connections between individuals who want to volunteer their time or want to sit on a nonprofit board, with the nonprofits who need volunteers and who need board members.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Online privacy rules are changing. The question now is how much you'll care.
America's tech industry is finalizing voluntary disclosure standards on the sensitive information being sucked from your smartphone like your location, surfing habits and contacts. Senate Democrats are pushing for a clearer opt-out button for all online tracking. And Microsoft is offering a new browser that encourages people to block the technology that enables tracking.
Industry officials say they understand some people want greater control. But they are betting that consumers don't really mind trading some basic information about themselves for free access.
'Consumers are very pragmatic people,' Lou Mastria, managing director of the Digital Advertising Alliance, said in an interview this week. 'They want free content. They understand there's a value exchange. And they're OK with it.'
Mobile applications like Google Maps, Angry Birds and GasBuddy have become popular, inexpensive ways to personalize smartphones or tablets and improve their functionality. Often free or just 99 cents to download, apps can turn a phone into a sophisticated roaming office or game console with interactive maps and 24-7 connectivity.
But like all those websites that offer medical advice or parenting tips, there's a hitch: They want information from you like your birthdate or ZIP code. Developers say data collection is necessary for the software to work as promised and to reward the intellectual creativity behind it.
'There's no free lunch,' said Adam Thierer, a senior research fellow at George Mason University's Mercatus Center. 'It's essentially a quid pro quo. You'll trade a little bit of information for all that free content and great services.'
The online privacy debate has stumped Congress and prompted limited input from the Obama administration, mindful of consumers' concerns but reluctant to crush a growing industry in a difficult economy.
Some lawmakers, mostly Democrats but some libertarian Republicans, say consumers should have the option of not being tracked at all. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, planned a hearing Wednesday to press his proposal to subject companies to penalties by the Federal Trade Commission if they violate a consumer's 'do not track' request.
Industry is pushing back. The Digital Advertising Alliance points to its web-based icon program that links consumers to an opt-out site of participating advertisers. They say some 20 million people have visited their site and only 1 million of those consumers chose to opt out of all ad tracking.
But privacy advocates, backed by the FTC, say the issue goes well beyond targeted advertising, particularly when it comes to a mobile device. Because a smartphone can divulge a person's location, the FTC warned in a recent report that detailed profiles of a person's movements can be collected over time and in surprising ways, revealing a person's habits and patterns and making them vulnerable to stalking or identity theft.
Some researchers also say they suspect retailers are engaging in 'price discrimination' - the practice of setting a price based on personal data, such as the average home price in their area or a person's proximity to a competitor.
Marc Rotenberg, executive director of Electronic Privacy Information Center, said most consumers aren't even aware of the extent to which their information is being collected and how it's used. And as with any product on the market, companies should be required to take meaningful steps to make sure people don't get hurt, he said.
'You shouldn't be put at risk if a car is correctly designed when you go on the highway,' Rotenberg said. 'And that's our view of Internet-based services. People shouldn't have to lose their privacy to use Internet-based services.'
FTC Commissioner Julie Brill says the biggest concerns are all the unknowns. The FTC has asked nine data brokers to disclose what information they collect on consumers and how they use it. Brill said she worries that companies might determine a person's eligibility for certain products and services based on information collected online, potentially violating credit reporting and fair lending laws, but without authorities knowing it.
'The industry is moving so quickly and changing so much that we need to make sure that the laws are keeping up with it,' Brill said in a recent interview.
So far, the only solution to emerge has been voluntary industry standards. The Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration has been coordinating among some 80 industry lobbyists, consumer advocates, academics and technology experts to devise the new disclosure standards for mobile apps that would offer consumers a quick, easy-to-read snapshot of what information is collected and whether it's shared with third parties.
While the final agreement isn't expected until later this spring, the privacy disclosures are expected to look less like a legal manifesto and more like a nutrition label. Just as some snacks are labeled as high in fat or sodium, some mobile apps might have to fess up to being bigger data collectors than others.
In the end, Thierer isn't sure consumers will care that they've been labeled by a marketing company as someone who, for example, likes to play 'Angry Birds' and lives in Ohio.
'The problem is that a lot of these cases driving the debate are worst-case scenarios ... but in reality they are still hypothetical,' Thierer said.

In 1969, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, and bell-bottom jeans and tie-dye shirts were all the rage. It was also the year that the first X-ray units dedicated to breast imaging were developed. Seven years later, mammography became standard practice as a screening device.
Today, numerous organizations, including the National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society, recommend that women age 40 and older have an annual screening mammogram to check for breast cancer. A mammogram is considered to be "positive" when the radiologist reading it sees an abnormal area in the breast that may be indicative of cancer.
Just because a mammogram result is positive does not always mean there is cancer. A false-positive result can occur when the radiologist determines that the mammogram is abnormal, but there is actually no cancer present. This type of result is more common for women who have undergone previous breast biopsies, and those who are younger, have a family history of breast cancer, or are taking estrogen.
Conventional vs. Digital Mammography
The difference between conventional and digital mammography involves how the breast image is recorded and stored. While X-rays are used to produce both kinds of mammograms, breast images are stored on film in conventional mammography, while an electronic image of the breast is stored as a computer file in digital mammography. Information that is stored digitally can be more easily magnified or manipulated for additional evaluation than images stored on film.
In cases of positive screening mammogram results, the doctor may order a diagnostic mammogram for more detailed, clearer images of the suspicious area. This type of mammogram could involve more views than a screening mammogram and use special techniques. Diagnostic mammograms typically provide additional information about unusual changes, including breast lumps, nipple discharge, pain, thickening, or change in size or shape of the breast. Other imaging tests also may be necessary, including an ultrasound, which uses sound waves to create a picture of the breast, or magnetic resonance imaging, which uses powerful magnets to create detailed images of breast tissue.
A biopsy may be necessary in addition to imaging tests to confirm the diagnosis of cancer detected in a positive mammogram. A biopsy involves removing a sample of breast tissue to check for cancer cells. It is the only way to tell for sure if there is cancer in the breast. If these test results are also positive, a treatment plan will then be developed based on the patient's overall health and stage of cancer. Treatment options include surgery, as well as different types of therapy such as chemo, radiation, and hormonal therapy..
Early detection of breast cancer using screening mammography allows for earlier treatment, maybe even before the disease has spread. The relative five-year survival rate for cancer found in the early stages is approximately 90 percent. Research has shown that the number of deaths due to breast cancer for women between the ages of 40 and 74 can be reduced with the help of screening mammograms. For more information about mammograms, talk with your doctor or visit the American Center Society website at www.cancer.org.

Narragansett Beer (motto: "We still exist") will be re-releasing its 1975-style can, made famous when Robert Shaw crushed one in "Jaws," one of several famous things Robert Shaw did in "Jaws."
There's nothing quite like vintage beers. I'm referring to the can, not to the 12-pack of Blatz that's been sitting in your garage since your cousin brought it to your summer cookout in 2007.
Case in point: Narragansett Beer (motto: "We still exist") will be re-releasing its 1975-style can, made famous when Robert Shaw crushed one in "Jaws." It was one of many things made famous by Robert Shaw in "Jaws," including but not limited to:
• The USS Indianapolis crew eaten by sharks;
• Scratching on a chalkboard to get people's attention;
• Breaking radios with a baseball bat;
• Getting chomped to death without even leaving the boat. That's badass.
Beyond being able to party like it's 1975 (and crush a can like Quint, to paraphrase the ad Narraganset came out with the last time they re-released the can, along with a very easily misread hashtag), you can also help name a shark tagged by the R.J. Dunlap Marine Conservation Program.
To name the shark, submit suggestions through @Gansettbeer or facebook.com/narragansettbeer from now through Shark Week (beginning Aug. 10, natch), using the hashtag #NameTheShark. Although if they don't wind up naming it Quint, why are we even doing this?
(It's worth noting the robot shark in the movie was famously named "Bruce" -- probably not after Bruce Springsteen, who was not that famous when they filmed the movie on Martha's Vineyard in 1974, but who knows? Maybe Steven Spielberg really loved "Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.")
Meanwhile, if they have a contest to determine which other vintage beers featured in movies should be re-released (the cans, not the movies), my vote goes to Pabst Blue Ribbon, from "Blue Velvet." Who cares if it's still the same can?

Avatar has raked in over $2.7 billion worldwide in the box office due to its groundbreaking technology and beautiful scenery.
What most people don't know is that much of Pandora's landscape was modeled after a real place - Zhangjiajie in the Hunan province of China.
The gorgeous quartz-sandstone pillars of Zhangjiajie (specifically, the 3,544 foot high "Southern Sky Column") became the basis for the floating "Hallelujah Mountains" of Pandora.
The Zhangjiajie government then went so far as to rename the "Southern Sky Column" to "Avatar Hallelujah Mountain." However, this proved to be a very unpopular decision and the government went on to deny ever renaming the pillar. "We only added a way to call the mountain. The previous name is not abolished," says a Zhangjiajie tourism official via Reuters.
At any rate, the real-life scenery in Zhangjiajie is breath-taking and we have the pictures to prove it.

Lawmakers unveil bill to ban assault weapons
Democratic lawmakers were joined by mayors, law enforcement officials and gun violence victims Thursday to introduce the first significant piece of gun control legislation to be put to Congress since the massacre in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six adults dead at an elementary school: The "Assault Weapons Ban of 2013," which would ban many so-called assault weapons as well as high-capacity ammunition magazines.}
"Today we are introducing legislation that will help end the mass shootings that have devastated countless families and terrorized communities," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who said she is "incensed that our weak gun laws allow these mass killings to be carried out again, and again, and again in this country."
"And the last several years, the massacres were going on more and more," continued Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, whose husband was killed and son was injured in 1993 when a man opened fire on a commuter train. "And going through it, I kept saying, 'what's wrong with all of us? How many people have to be killed before we do something?'"
Among the lawmakers present were the two senators from Connecticut as well as members of the House representing Newtown and Aurora, Colo., where a mass shooting took place in a movie theater last July. Victims of gun violence came to the microphone one by one to discuss loved ones killed by gunfire and their experiences in mass shootings.
McCarthy, D-N.Y., said she has "watched the slaughter of so many people and I've met with so many victims over the years, and in Congress nobody wanted to touch the issue."
- Obama calls for sweeping new gun laws
- NRA ad: Obama an "elitist hypocrite" on gun violence
- McConnell email: Obama is "coming for your guns"
The bill would reinstate the 1994 assault weapons ban that lapsed in 2004, though with some tweaks: The 1994 ban, for example, defined an assault weapon as a gun that had two or more features or cosmetic accessories such as a pistol grip. The 2013 ban will limit those features to one, which Feinstein said would make it harder for assault weapons manufacturers to get around the law. The new bill would also not expire, as the 1994 bill did after 10 years.
Broadly, the legislation would prohibit 158 specifically named military-style firearms along with certain semiautomatic weapons; it would also outlaw ammunition magazines that accept more than 10 rounds. Americans would be able to keep affected weapons if the weapons were already in their possession when the bill was enacted, and exemptions would be made for specific hunting and sporting weapons, as well as antique or disabled weapons. (The new bill would require a background check for grandfathered weapons if they are sold or transferred.)
Ultimately, however, these details are not likely not to matter all that much. That's because there is little chance that the legislation will get through Congress.}
Start with the Senate: Democrats control 55 out of 100 votes, and barring a more-significant-than-expected change to the filibuster rule, supporters of the gun control measure would need all of those votes -- plus five Republican votes -- to pass the bill. Those votes don't appear to be there. There is only one Republican in the Senate - Mark Kirk of Illinois - who supports an assault weapons ban. One Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, told the New York Times of an assault weapons ban this week, "I'm not there," and at least four other Democrats have declined to take a position. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has vacillated on even holding a vote on an assault weapons ban, presumably out of concern that the vote could damage vulnerable Democrats ahead of the 2014 election.
The odds are even worse in the GOP-led House, where only one Republican, Peter King of New York, has said he supports an assault weapons ban. That's fewer than the number of House Republicans who have raised the prospect of impeaching President Obama over his gun control efforts. (They are Steve Stockman and Louie Gohmert of Texas and Trey Radel of Florida.) House Speaker John Boehner, who could choose to simply not bring the bill up for a vote, said Tuesdaythat an assault weapons ban would give people "a false sense of security." In both chambers, the National Rifle Association has flexed its lobbying muscle in an effort to keep wavering pro-gun lawmakers from breaking ranks.
Mr. Obama called on Congress to pass the assault weapons and high-capacity magazine ban on Jan. 16, as well as a requirement for universal background checks for gun sales and other measures. Citing the horrific Newtown massacre one month earlier, the president said that "if there's even one thing we can do to reduce this violence, if there's even one life that can be saved, then we've got an obligation to try."
The White House opted not to send its own bill to Capitol Hill after Mr. Obama's announcement; it says it supports Feinstein's effort and has worked with her office in crafting the new version. Yet its hopes are likely pinned to what comes next: There are likely to be at least four pieces of major legislation introduced on gun control, according to a Democratic source, including a bill out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which starts hearings on gun control next week. Reid seemed most optimistic about that measure, telling reporters, "It may not be everything everyone wants, but I hope it has stuff that is really important."}
If a gun control measure is going to get through Congress, it would likely combine the most popular proposals of gun control advocates - including universal background checks, which is backed by more than nine out of 10 Americans according to CBS News/New York Times polling - with moves to improve mental health screenings, which has been the focus of some Republicans. (Those who are following the debate closely would consider a ban on high-capacity magazines, backed by 63 percent of Americans, perhaps the biggest possible victory for gun control advocates.) With more than half of Americans saying they support an assault weapons ban, however, backers of the bill introduced today aren't giving up.
"I thought for sure, after Virginia Tech, we would get something done," said McCarthy. "Aurora. But something happened in Newtown. The people of America said, 'How could this happen? How could this happen to our children?'"
She added that Americans should not listen to arguments that nothing can be done to save lives, stating that roughly 1,000 people have been killed guns since Newtown.
"I'm telling you it can be done," she said. "I'm telling you with all my heart it can be done."

HIV/AIDS News
FDA Approves Rapid INSTI[TM] HIV-1 Antibody Test - December 2, 2010
On November 29, 2010, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the approval of the INSTI™ HIV-1 Antibody Test, a new, single use rapid test for the detection of antibodies to Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) in human venipuncture whole blood, fingerstick blood, or plasma specimens. The newly approved test provides results in as little as 60 seconds, in contrast to the six previously approved rapid HIV tests, which typically deliver results in about 10 - 20 minutes.
Rapid HIV tests allow people to learn their HIV status in a single visit to a testing site, instead of returning days later for results, dramatically increasing the number of people who ultimately learn their serostatus after taking an HIV test.
Rapid testing also helps increase access to HIV testing because testing can be performed outside of the traditional laboratory setting. Individuals who undergo testing can be counseled immediately concerning their HIV status and, if they are positive, given the opportunity to enter medical care.
The INSTI™ HIV-1 Antibody Test can be used in clinical laboratories, in public health laboratories and in point-of-care settings. The test is classified as Moderate Complexity under CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments).
It is highly sensitive [The overall sensitivity for the different sample types: 99.8% (95% CI = 99.3% - 99.9%) in fingerstick whole blood, 99.9% (95% CI = 99.5% - 100%) in venipuncture whole blood, 99.9% (95% CI = 99.5% - 100%) in plasma] and specific [The overall specificity for the different samples types: 99.5% (95% CI = 99.0% - 99.8) in fingerstick whole blood, 100% (95% CI = 99.7% - 100%) in venipuncture whole blood, 100% (95% CI = 99.7% - 100%) in plasma] for the detection of antibodies to HIV-1.
The assay is not intended to be used for screening of blood donors.
The INSTI™ HIV-1 Antibody Test is manufactured by bioLytical Laboratories Inc., Richmond, BC, Canada.

After the Thrill is Gone: Fashion, Politics, and Culture in Contemporary South African Art features
fourteen artists who read the political climate of post-apartheid South
Africa through fashion's embrace of the "new." The artists in After the Thrill is Gone use
fashion to shape narratives of representation, identity, memory,
xenophobia, violence in the domestic sphere, and allegories of
nationalism. Both individually and collectively, these artists locate
fashion as a political language and reinterpret the historical terrain
of South Africa after the thrill of apartheid's end is gone.
