Due to later comments, I'm assuming you're running Scyld Beowulf. There really is no 'correct' partitioning of the hard drive, you can do it however you want. However, one thing you might try is to bring all your nodes up. Then do 'beofdisk -q' This will query the harddrives on all the nodes and see what they look like. This information will be stored in /etc/beowulf/fdisk/ Then do 'beofdisk -d' This will set the config files in /etc/beowulf/fdisk/ to a 'default' partition layout. Then you do 'beofdisk -w' and it will make the harddrives on your slave nodes look the way the config files in /etc/beowulf/fdisk/ indicate. Once you partition your slave nodes, you will have to edit /etc/beowulf/fstab to tell your slave nodes to use the harddrive for swap and / (and any other partitions you want to create) instead of using /dev/ram3 The 'default' partition layout will also create a partition that we call a beoboot partition. Once this is on the slave nodes, you can use beoboot-install to copy the files from the node boot floppy to that partition and setup lilo to boot them off the harddrive instead of using a floppy disk. > > 2. Does having a swap file contribute to performance? Not exactly.. what swap does is keeps you from having an Out Of Memory (OOM) situation. This happens when a program requests more memory, but there is no free memory to give it. When this happens, the kernel will start killing programs to free up memory. However, if you have swap, the kernel will start using the swap to keep it from getting to an OOM state. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Quilt Part Two
Saturday, August 25, 2007 3 comments
Last week I picked up my quilt, and this week I completed the binding. I tried to lay it out to show the end result, but I always have help when I put projects on the floor. I'm also attaching a close up of the 'quilting'.....I asked for swirls, and I love it. This quilt is for my room....now I just have to clean my room to make it worthy of the quilt. I really like the colors. I already have my next project bought and ready to sew, but I'm going to retire for awhile and continue to work on scrapbooks....one quilt a year is enough.

This Friday I went out with a group of church friends to dinner and then an event called "Late Night at the Museum"....the concept was cool, there was free Starbucks, a live dj/dance, live bands, lute music etc throughout different parts of the Modern Art Museum...the usual exhibits....and there was a special in town-Vesuvias....I read about it with my 6th graders in their reading book, it was pretty cool to see ancient roman art, buried for years under volcanic ash and lava...but one thing I will say about the experience is the museum was packed, which may have been a contributing factor to the general mood, but the employees were pretty rude....ick....but other than that....it was a neat experience.....I haven't been to the museum in awhile....the longer I teach and relearn along with the students, the more I actually am able to connect with culture....though I still can't appreciate some modern art....flickering light bulbs, lint specks, crumbled road signs, gigantic room size canvases with one small square painted on it......

Ahh....school....it's creeping up...one thing I've learned about my new position is that it requires even more time than my last position. I'm not sure of the impression I have made thus far with the new department I'm working for....I may be a little too '6th grade.' I've now completed two of five presentations I'll be making. The first was a group of pretty grouchy specialist, you could tell they had been around for a long time...seasoned teachers are the worst to present for....the second one was a group of 'new teachers'....my very favorite group to present for....they aren't 'broken' just yet....though there are a few bad apples (ha ha-teaching pun) in every group. Next week I have a really fun one on Monday for my school, I know that will go well-you can stink up the place and your friends will always support you (they'll wait until your back is turned to share the negative ;o)). The last presentation falls under the category "What I did over my summer vacation." Somehow I have fallen in love the curriculum we have been able to write for SS, BUT it's just another thing to add to a teacher's plate....I mean, if you eat too much, no matter how good dessert looks, there just isn't room for it. I wish I could just say "Don't shoot the messenger."....I'll survive, I always do.....and thus completes a week in the work life of Christy :O) The morale of the story-I'm glad I'm not in the classroom full time, I know it'll still be busy, and hard, but it'll be a different set of complaints....the old ones were even starting to bore me :O).

Puppy Play Date
Thursday, August 09, 2007 No comments
Today Max met Ella Grace (Amber's new puppy) at the dog park. He's more into his ball and the people who might potentially throw it to him, and he's now limping from the experience, but in the end, it makes him happy, even if it makes him a little sore! While Max was playing I chatted with my friend Terry (one of about four friends who share this name) who rode up on her bike (and who usually meets me with her dog Cassie) and Amber. I happened to have my camera for another evening activity, so of course I took a picture. I have a few of Max as well, but he already had his summer blog spot. Dog parks are a good thing!
Wild (???) Raccoons and Tyler, Texas
Sunday, August 05, 2007 1 comment
I spent my weekend at Tyler State Park. I spent MOST of the weekend avoiding the fish and floating on a float in the swimming area (just fyi, snapping turtles really like to frequent the swimming area in the mornings before most of the people arrive). The lake levels were (not surprisingly) very high. The dock featured in this picture is usually about three-four feet out of the water and there are steps that lead down into the water, and this is a month after the daily rain we had been getting! The one thing I always remember when I go to Tyler are the raccoons! When I was younger we used to tent camp at Tyler (now we usually stay in the shelters, which are just concrete slabs with wooden walls, but we don't have to pitch a tent). So pre-shelter days when our coolers stayed outside, the racoons got into them a couple of times-they ate a steak dinner, ran off with a bag of m&ms and we used to listen for the trash can lids clattering because it was a nightly hobby we could count on at the park. Last year the raccoons climbed the tree to a trash bag, so this year we got smart and threw our trash away before going to bed, but as we were sitting at the picnic table last night chatting this little one walked right up....it was begging for marshmallows....literally it stood on it's hind legs at one point and walked too close for comfort! I was just glad it posed for about 8 pictures before I finally ran inside the cabin worried the friendly animal would ask to go home with me, or at least want to snuggle up with me throughout the evening.

Life, which has been a complete adventure lately. Full of mostly good things. I've fallen in love. We worked together in DC (we were stuck there for a week working a really boring convention), and have become inseparable. Well, except for now, as he's stuck in Mexico for work. It has been an amazing almost two months at this point. The time has flown by, and we feel like we've known each other for ages. Its a big refreshing after all that I've been through with guys in the past. I'm happy to not be dealing with the constant disappointments that I've lived through lately. It seems we never get tired of talking to each other, and cover any and every topic. It feels good, it feels different, and I'm amazingly happy.
Work is less than fun lately. I'm ready to be done and moving on. The days in the office are tedious, and because I'm back in school, the chance to head out on the road isn't there any longer. I'm searching ads and looking for options in a more culinary focus field. I'm also starting research on starting my own baking company. I spent my weekend making candy corn (which were such fun - its like playing with sugar playdough!) and peanut butter balls for halloween treats. And got to thinking, well, maybe I can sell this stuff. Along with Christmas cookies, and the other candies I make (I'm going to try molded caramels this upcoming weekend). People have always mentioned to me that I should, so I'm going to start researching and trying to come up with a name for myself and design features and website and all that fun stuff. I'm excited about the new adventure this could be. And hope I can make a reality out of it.
So, hopefully I can make a better stab about being here a bit more regularly again. Its been nice to have a break, but I miss my writing and I miss your comments. (on the knitting front, I have six projects on the needles right now - a baby blanket, the Central Park Hoodie, the Somewhat Cowl, the Sizzle Tank, a cowl, and a swirl scarf... and I need to get another scarf made to match my new winter coat... But the last thing I need to buy is more yarn... the corner of my living room has literally been taken over by my stash.)
Happy Middle of the week!

San Mateo County – Caltrans today announced the completion of a project on Interstate 280 in San Mateo County that will provide real-time traffic and weather information that motorists can use to avoid congestion and inclement weather. The $1.3 million project was financed entirely by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act).
"The new equipment will make it easier for Caltrans to better monitor traffic and manage congestion," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim. "This project is another example of how Caltrans applies state-of-the-art technology to existing roads and highways."
Caltrans installed four electronic highway message signs and four traffic monitoring cameras at various places on I-280 in Menlo Park, Burlingame, Millbrae, and Daly City. Caltrans posts information on the electronic message signs (which use energy-efficient LED technology) about traffic incidents, road closures, inclement weather, travel times, and Amber Alerts. Caltrans uses traffic cameras to monitor traffic congestion and incidents, identify stranded motorists, and observe weather conditions.
Caltrans has more than 130 electronic highway message signs and approximately 300 traffic monitoring cameras now active in the Bay Area.
California has obligated nearly $2.6 billion in Recovery Act funding to nearly 1,000 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide.

2017 Toyota Tundra Lease Questions
kyfdx Posts: 117,454Either that.. or he left out a zero..
Did you get a good deal? Be sure to come back and share!
Edmunds Moderator0
endlessmoto Posts: 3I am looking to do my first lease and I am still a little unsure how to know if I am negotiating a good deal;
I am between a '08 Tundra and '08 Tacoma;
I am located in Milwaukee, WI 53227, Tax rate 5.6%, and fall into a Tier 1 credit rating
The 2008 Tundra I am looking at is as follows;
CrewMax 4x4, SR5 w/ Off-Road Package
MSRP: $39,700 w/ delivery
Can anyone tell me what money factor and residual will be on this truck; I'm looking at doing a 3 year/36K mile lease and hoping to walk away with just 1st month, taxes, and registration.
Let me know what you think the best possible deal I can walk with this truck is. The dealer said they have a $1000 rebate through August and an additional $1500 if I can register it under my business name.
I was told this month is the best month of the year to lease a Tundra. Thanks for your help!0
obyone Posts: 8,054With resale value down in the pits, I'd think Toyota being conservative would make it difficult at best to lease. Other manufacturers have walked away from it completely.0
If you're gonna' lease, definitely do it now! Toyota Financial Service's money factors are insanely low right now!! When you find the exact vehicle you want, ask the dealer what the residual value is - they will more than likely be truthful with that figure as it's set by the lender. TFS residualizes each vehicle differentley based on options, but depending upon annual mileage allowances, anywhere between 51-54% on a 36 month lease.
Rates also vary by region, but should be between .00015 - .00075. Unlike the residual value which is already set, the dealer can and probably will want to "mark up" the money factor. Since you have a ballpark of where the rates are, request those numbers from your dealer by asking them what the residual and "buy rate" money factor are? Or, ask them what that tier 1+ base rate is? If you're 720+, you're tier 1+ with TFS.
As for a selling price/cap cost, $500 over - $500 below invoice + any additional incentives in your region. Or, a dealer discount of ~$3500-$4500 + additional incentives.0
I am interested in leasing a new Tundra and I am tired of getting the run around. I have been to a few different dealerships and I am confused.
I have a 734 credit score and I keep getting told to get the vehicle I have to put money down and still have a payment of atleast 450 - 500 a month. I know that there has to be better deals. They keep telling me I have to pay the MSRP for the lease.
What is the break down on how this works. Do I really have to pay MSRP or how do I talk them down? What is the cap and invoice price mean? Also, I have been looking on other posts and see stuff like 00016 and 00075...what does that mean? I am in Tennessee with great credit and would like this truck for 350 or less.
Please help....TUNDRA V8 4X4 5.7
Hi Alicia,
At 734, you qualify for Toyota Financial Services' top tier credit rating, otherwise known as Tier 1 Plus.
Invoice is an approximate amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for a particular vehicle.
The Cap or Cap Cost is just another word for Selling Price, but when leasing the term is known as the Captitalized Cost.
The numbers .00016, .00029 and .00066 are known as the money factor. In simplest terms, it is the interest/fee you pay to the bank/leasing company. To convert the money factor into an interest rate (apr %), simply multiply it by 2400 (i.e. - .00016 x 2400 = 0.384% - yes, less than 1%!)
Trying to sell you that vehicle/cap the cost at MSRP is an absolute joke! I realize that 4x4's and CrewMaxx's are in higher demand, but there is no reason that truck should not be had for any more than $500 over invoice.
Again, I am not in your region and the leasing sources I utilize are in Southern California and the Midwest, however, my previous post listed a range of money factors that you should find across the country. Also, TFS sets a residual value for each vehicle independently and depending on which options it's equipped with could raise, or lower the value. With that said, don't expect anything higher than about 55% or lower than about 49% (depending on mileage allowance) on a 36 month lease.
With most lending sources, you'll obviously have the highest residuals based on the shortest terms and lowest mileage allowances (i.e. -24 mo/10k miles/yr).
In summary...
Find out the residual value and "buy rate" money factor from your local dealer (ask a few to confirm). Then, negotiate the price just as if you were purchasing the vehicle - this agreed upon value will be the cap cost. It's really simple, the difference between the price you negotiate and the set residual is what you pay for during a lease.The difference between these two numbers is known as the depreciation. Now, you would take the depreciation and divide it by the number of months you plan to lease (24,36, 39, 48, etc). This will be your base monthly payments. Btw... the best term on a Tundra right now is 36 months.
But, we're not finished, then you have to calculate the interest on the loan. You take the residual and add it to the cap cost, then multiply it by the money factor. Add that amount to the base monthly payment, then add in your local tax rate and you have your out-the-door monthly payments.
2008 Toyota Tundra CrewMaxx 4x4:
Assume a 36 month/12k-mi/yr lease:
Dealer Invoice: $36,500
Cap Cost: $37,000
Residual: $20,760 (53% of MSRP)
Money Factor: .00016
$37,000 - $20,760 = $16,240 (Depreciation) / 36 = $451.11
$37,000 + $20,760 = $57,760 x .00016 = $9.24 (Interest)
$451.11 + $9.24 = $460.35 + tax (assume 7% = $32.22) = $492.57/mo.
Now, in many regions, there is additional cash available on leases. In Socal, if you lease through TFS, you get the low money factor and an additional $1000 bonus cash. This money should be used to lower your cap cost in addition to what you already negotiated. Going back to our example, we stated a cap cost of $37,000. If bonus cash is available, the new cap cost would now be $36,000 and thus would lower your payments even further.
Large rebates such as the $5500 available in SoCal are not comaptible with leases through TFS. They are for purchases only. You could take it if you leased through an outside bank, but you'll find that the the residuals and money factors will be much higher.
Hope this helps?0
Thanks so much for the information. It reallys helps!!!
Alright, I understoof all that you were saying but I got another questions. What about the admin, deliver charges, process and handling and dealer fees? Those fees can add up to a couple of thousand of dollars. Are thos fees that I should pay or is that just another way they make more money? Which fees could be waved or which fees do I have to pay regardless?
Also, when I ask a dealer for their invoice price..should I ask before all the fees...(ie. like the fees noted above) or will the give the invoice of all fees included?
Also, is the dealership required to give me the invoice price and residual value or a truck or is it private information meaning they have the right to give it or the right to keep it private?
Thanks for all your help...you are so smart!!!
Typically, when you lease, there are usually drive off fees, sometimes called inception fees. These usually include your first mo. payment + tax, your dmv fees, perhaps a documentation/processing fee (in socal, dealers are capped at $55, but some states try to charge as high as $600!), and a lease acquisition fee/bank fee.
The acquisition fee, which I believe is $550 on Tundras is a non-negotiable fee that is charged by the lender(TFS), not the dealer. It is usually capped into your lease payments, meaning... that $550 would be added on top of the price you negotiated.
Going back to our example, if they agreed to sell you the truck at $37,000 and you wanted to cap the bank fee into the lease rather than pay it upfront as part of your inception fees, your adjusted cap cost would now be $37,550 and consequently, your monthly payments would rise (probably between $12-$15/mo).
As for fees, every vehicle has a destination/freight charge and it's listed on the window sticker and on the invoice - everyone pays it. Now, if the dealer tries to tack on an additional delivery fee (they shouldn't), refuse it. I don't believe your region charges an admin fee - that's typically only in the southeast region (Fl, Ga).
As for the invoice, Edmund's is fairly consistent with the dealers, however, you may find that the dealer's invoice is a few hundred higher. If so, it is probably their regional ad fee. It's a legit fee, but like anything else, in a buyers market you can always try to negotiate.
When we refer to invoice, we mean the dealer's invoice and since items such as destination, holdback, ad fee, etc are already itemized on the invoice, invoice to you means the total factory invoice including all options. So, your truck could have a base invoice of $34,000, but after all options destination, holdback, ad fee are added in, the total invoice that the dealer paid may be $36,500, and therefore, if you offered $500 over invoice, your essentially offering to have them sell you the vehicle at $37,000. Make sense?
A dealer doesn't have to share any information with you, but if he wants to be competitive, it behoove him to provide you with the info you're looking for. All dealers have different methods, some are very willing to provide info via phone or over the net, where others really won't give you anything 'til they have you on their lot.0
grubbs2 Posts: 2confusing to me!
I am considering purchasing the following:
2008 Tundra Crew Max 5.7 SR5. Including extras, it has an MSRP of $34,759.
I was offered a dealer discount of $3500 and a rebate of $7000 if I were to purchase (I obtained a tax ID number to get the extra $2000 rebate to purchase it via a business name).
If I were to lease, the dealer discount is $5,000 and a rebate of $9,000. The tax and docs fees were normal but the lease option added a $550 fee.
I was told if I were to put a $10750 one pay lease payment, we were to have no payments for 3 years and a residual of $15,750, with no cost to relinguish the truck.
Is this a good deal? Can there be any further negotiation? What should I be careful about?0
Something seems amiss with the leasing numbers you reported. A dealer discount of $5000 + $9000 in rebates? That can't be right, unless you're looking at a Dodge Ram.
The dealer discount should be the same regardless of purchase or finance - $3500 off seems more realistic. The large rebate is not compatible with TFS leases. It varies by region, but in socal, on leases, you get $1000 bonus cash + super low money factors (based on tier). The $5k rebate is not compatible on TFS leases - not sure about the biz cash, sorry.
Your one pay lease works out to less than $300/mo. Great deal!0
Alright, I have another question. What about this .... the dealer says he paid 30,000 as his invoice but there is 2,000 in options...not including admin fees, dealer fees, dmv, process and handling. So does that mean I pay the invoice and the options. I feel I am getting had on this...I thought they bought the truck from the manufactor as is...so...if they say there is 2,000 to 3,000 in options on it should that be in the invoice or MSRP...or is that added on in the end. The dealer said the MSRP was32,000 with 2500.00 of options....and than all the other fees...what do you think?
Now you're confusing me. Hehe... just kidding, I understand what you're saying. It's really very simple so let's not make it too difficult.
Okay, let me show you what the Toyota dealer sees on his computer screen...

Forget about all the itemized numbers, you just want to deal based off the total invoice (in bold), which already includes all options installed at the factory. Now, if the dealer installed additional options (rims, bedliners, exhaust, etc), that will alter the invoice. Stay away from aftermarket products on a lease, little if any can be residualized. Go for stock stock stock!!!
Take this truck for example, the MSRP is $40,503, and the Invoice is $36,993. You would want to get as close to $36,993 as possible. So let's say they sell you the vehicle at Invoice, that's a dealer discount of $3510. So, in essense, they'd be selling you the vehicle/capping the cost at $36,993. Plus, if there is any factory lease cash/bonus cash available in your area, it will either be used to reduce your cap cost ($36,993) or be used as a down payment, or used to pay part or all of your inception fees. Remember, these are the monies you pay upfront which usually include: 1st mo payment + tax, dmv fees, doc fees, and possibly an acquisition fee. If the acquisition fee is not paid upfront, it will be "rolled" into your cap cost ($36,993 + $550 = $37,543). Understand??
Hope this helps?0
awedio Posts: 57what is the difference between STD & LOW?
are those residual figures based on 15k miles?
Toyota's residuals seem to be a fixed no., they don't use a percentage like other manufacturers, is this correct?0
STD is 15k/yr and LOW is 12k/yr.
You have to move the LOW numbers over one to the right so the columns line up. TFS doesn't offer a 24 month residual for LOW. I know, weird!
Yes, Toyota assigns a residual value to each individual vehicle instead of a set percentage. Some options will raise or lower the residual.0
Hi guys!!
Please provide your guidance and wisdom...I'm just so annoyed that some dealers are treating trucks/suvs like they are in high demand.
my goal is to get either a crewmax (4x2) limited, or a doublecab (also 4x2) limited at a reasonable price (for crewmax $500/month, and for doublecab, $450/month), but so far, after talking to 5 dealers, no results (or maybe so, but you be the judge).
seems like buying a truck is harder than buying a lexus! i purchased an ES last year and a GS this year and so far negotiating on a friggin tundra is so much more painful...
let's start with crewmax.
Car's MSRP is at $43k . with all the rebates and incentives, Toyota of Long Beach said they could sell the car at $34k. with $1.5k down and standard 36 month/12k miles per year lease, I would need to pay close to $580/month or something ridiculous! I guess due to the huge $5.5k rebate, I cant take advantage of the superlow lease rate... this doesnt seem right! so far I have not been able to get the crewmax down below $500/month w/o increasing down payment--what's the strategy to negotiate here?
I also looked at the doublecab (4x2 limited) MSRP $39k. best offer so far is selling price of $35k, with $1100 down the payment would be $495/month (includng tax) from toyota of anaheim (they said they went below invoice also minus the dealer holdback). similarly, toyota of orange offered $479 plus tax, but $1500 down.
help advice? thanks!0
Hi mi7,
It's very simple, when leasing through the captive bank, in this case, TFS... the rebate ($5500) is NOT compatible with their lease programs. The money factor that is being offered equates to less than 1%, so look at it like as if it were a purchase... either take the cash (rebate) or choose the 0% financing, but you don't get both.
Now, there is an additional $1000 bonus cash available that IS compatible with the lease, so make sure they either use this to reduce the cap cost, use it as a down payment, or pay some of your drive offs.
My advice, since it's a Lmtd and a 2wd, your cap cost should be ~$1000 below invoice. So, figure about $4500 off MSRP to begin with, then make sure that the bonus cash ($1000) gets factored in somehwhere based on the aformentioned. So, on a lease, you should be "net - net" about $5500 off.
Hope this helps.0
thanks, autoseeker. so my 4x2 doublecab limited should be abour $33.5k? wow thats gonna be tough0
all that money available in the form of a cash rebate, is in a sense, used to "subsidize" the low money factor.
you also need to remember, although the rate is low, the residuals are not strong and will continue to fall for '08 models, and you are trying to lease a $40k + vehicle, so keep that in mind. ask the dealer what the reisdual is and i'll calculate your payments. confirm the bank fee is $550, too?
good luck!0
here's some more info:
For the 2008 4X2 Tundra Double Cab Limited with Navigation and 20" Alloy Wheels, Your Sales Price is $34,576.00 (MSRP is $39,080.00).
36 month special lease = $481.65 total per month. $1,000.00 Drive Off, $1,000.00 factory rebate. Rate is 0.00060. Residual is $18,141.00 with 12,000 miles per year.
60 month purchase with 0 % interest. $593.73 per month. $1,000.00 Down, $1,000.00 factory rebate. Total Out the Door is $35,623.65.0
well i got the car yesterday from toyota of cerritos.
tundra doublecab limited 4x2 off road package, msrp $38,600
leased for $488/month for 36 months based on tier 1 plus credit--had to put down $700.
what do you guys think?!0
Sorry I didn't get back to you before you leased. Was the $700 for drive offs or was it utilized towards reducing your cap cost? At first glance, I'd say you did pretty good based on the numbers available through Toyota at this time.
Enjoy the truck!0
I live in Oklahoma and was recently quoted a Toyota Tundra Crewmax 5.7 4x4.
MSRP Base: $42,835
Installed Options: $1,890.00
Total: 44,725.00
Residual Value: 47%
Money Factor: .00265
Cap Cost: $33,163
Mileage: 12K per year
In Oklahoma we Pay Tax, Title, and License and they included it in the deal probably around $1300.
Quoted: 0 down $553/mo on 36 mo.
I figured it at around $480/mo. What did I do wrong? and is this a good deal for my region given this information.
There cost they gave me was $ 42,163.0
rlary Posts: 18I think I would want to work the purchase numbers.0
I kept on delaying the lease of my truck but I think now is the right time.
You have been a good "teacher" in the past but I still need your help.
I am trying to get one of these Tundra Limited 4x4
First choice VIN number 5TFBV58158X060301 ( MSRP $41520 )
Second choice VIN number 5TFBV58178X068271 ( MSRP $42140)
If you could run the numbers for a 36Month/15000 Miles lease tax rate 7.75%,
I will be greatful until the end of this year ))
One more question : can you ID a California dealer by this dealer number?
Thank you!!!0
I don't know which dealer that is, sorry.
I have the info and I'll run the numbers in the morning.
Hang tight for a few hours... I need to get some sleep.0
Vehicle # 1:
Invoice: $37,699.00
Residual: $19,485 (47%)
Terms: 36 mo / 15k annual miles
MF: .00016-.00066 (ask your dealer what the buy rate for tier 1+ is in your region)
Incentives: $1000 Bonus Cash (compatible with leases)
If they capped the cost at invoice, then utilize the $1000 bonus cash as a down payment, with OC sales tax (7.75%), you'd be OTD for $524.91/mo.
Now, the dealer has another $775 in holdback, and $387 in wholesale financial reserve - basically, another $1162 of profit for you to work with. If they give you all of that + the $1000 lease cash, you'd be at $489.93/mo.
These lease figures assume a .00016 mf (if available in your region), and do NOT include TFS's acquisition fee of $550. This fee can be rolled in or paid as part of your inceptions.
In addition, this vehicle has an ad fee of $300 (TDA) and a gasoline charge of $10 on the factory invoice - just FYI.
Now, if you decide to purchase, the rebate is $5500, or 0% + $1000 Bonus Cash. If you took the rebate and if the dealer gave you all of his hb and wfr, you'd be almost net $10,500 off MSRP. Again, just FYI.
I'm tired... I'll run the numbers on Vehicle #2 in the morning.0
The dealer wanted $570 for this one so I have some room to bargain today.
For the second truck 5TFBV58178X068271 ( MSRP $42140) I will ask if he will add some options - stainless side steps, aluminum shift knob, sport pedals and exhaust tip -around $800
I think I should offer $510 out the door with $800 down and let's see what happens..
I have all day to make a decision so just take your time.
Thank you again0
Vehicle # 2:
Invoice: $38,353.00
Residual: $19,610 (47%)
Terms: 36 mo / 15k annual miles
MF: .00016-.00066 (ask your dealer what the buy rate for tier 1+ is in your region)
Incentives: $1000 Bonus Cash (compatible with leases)
If they capped the cost at invoice, then utilize the $1000 bonus cash as a down payment, with OC sales tax (7.75%), you'd be OTD for $540.88/mo.
Now, the dealer has another $775 in holdback, and $387 in wholesale financial reserve - basically, another $1172 of profit for you to work with. If they give you all of that + the $1000 lease cash, you'd be at $505.60/mo.
These lease figures assume a .00016 mf (if available in your region), and do NOT include TFS's acquisition fee of $550. This fee can be rolled in or paid as part of your inceptions. If by chance the money factor being utilized in this region is .00060, your payment would be $567.89 and $532.05 respectively, depending on a cap cost of invoice, or invoice less $1172 (hb, wfr, gas).
In addition, this vehicle has an ad fee of $400 (TDA) and a gasoline charge of $10 on the factory invoice - just FYI.
Toyota lease rates are hard to keep track of as they vary quite a bit by region, but either way, as long as they fall within the range I gave you, from an apr perspective, you're still making out with either 0.38% or 1.44% - both very low!
As for the add on's, not sure how much, if any of that stuff can be residulized.
Good luck and keep us posted!0

We welcome you to Britain's Favourite Cuisine
…where tradition meets quality…
In 2005, a foodie soldier formed a small army – Kayal Army – of people who love and care about healthy eating and traditional cuisine. In a splash of time they proved that there is an opportunity to success if you can deliver healthy food with fresh ingredients at a pleasant atmosphere. Kayal wrote in the history of Restaurant Industry of UK that any forms of economic and industrial downfalls cannot harm an institution which is run by passionate professionals.
Kayal – The first authentic Kerala seafood speciality – has become the most popular of its kind to the people of Britain and this family run group of restaurant has become a favourite with dedication and passion for good food. Numerous awards and recognitions proved them distinctive to the normal fellow restaurants. 'Healthiest Restaurant Award' proved that Kayal do care about healthy food. Kayal is all about tradition, qualities, discoveries, fresh ingredients and aromas.
Recently 'Hairy Bikers' – Simon King and Dave Myers' put their hands down in to authentic Kerala cooking by making 'Masala Dosa' with the help of Kayal brigade. 'Athidhi Devo Bhava' – which in Sanskrit means Guest is God and that, is the motto of Kayal Army and they try everything possible to live up to it.
Kayal,South Indian Restaurant- Leicester – Nottingham, Leamington Spa, West Byfleet – (Woking, Surrey). Kayal means backwaters in Kerala. The whole school of South Indian seafood cuisine takes its name from Kerala Backwaters. Kerala has a distinctive cuisine, very unusual and different from the rest of India, so Kayal. Kerala cuisine offers several gastronomic opportunities to those willing to experiment with the cuisine. So, if you are around, don't miss out on the opportunity to savour the cuisine of Kerala at Kayal Nottingham, and Leicester, Leamington Spa, and West Byfleet.
In the early days of 2006 Midlands saw the successful establishment of 'Halli', The Village Vegetarian, which brought to the town an unusual cuisine that is different from the normal curry houses. After almost a year Midlands was blessed with 'Kayal at Nottingham', The Backwater Cuisine, an authentic Kerala Seafood Specialty Restaurant. Kayal Nottingham doubled its occupancy after few months due to the overwhelming response from the people who love authentic Indian food. Our existing successful restaurant in Granby Street, Leicester has been upgraded with the 'Award Winning' Kayal concept.
Kayal, the healthy concept: be it seafood, vegetable or meat, the emphasis is on 'healthy food', less use of oil, sugar, and artificial additives, and more use of natural herbs, spices flavorings, is the specialty of Kayal – WHERE TRADITION MEETS QUALITY.
Kayal work with – BBC Radio, Hairy Bikers, BBC documentaries, Leicester Comedy Festival, Leicester Diwali Festival, Nottingham Goose fair, Nottingham Ice Arena, Broadway Theatre, different football clubs, Universities and hospitals of Leicester, Nottingham, Warwickshire, and Surrey.
Welcome you to Kayal – The unusual taste – here quality meets tradition.

Is it safe to wash the parts of my juicer in the top rack of my dishwasher?
I always recommend to hand wash the juicer parts. Please note that the "motor base" of the juicers should not be placed under running water, they should be wiped down. If the "basket" or strainer is a little hard to clean with a sponge, I recommend using a vegetable brush with stiff nylon bristles to help you get it clean. I once put my juiceman II parts in the dishwasher, and the catch basket melted. So I do not recommend placing juicer parts in the dishwasher.

The 29-year-old was named in Birmingham's development squad for their clash with Coventry on Tuesday. Castelen is available on a free transfer after leaving Hamburg in June following the expiration of his contract. The Holland international had a trial at Birmingham's Championship rivals Middlesbrough in the summer, but a move failed to materialise.
Casetelen is now hoping to catch the eye of the Birmingham coaching staff as he looks to win a deal at St Andrews. Blues boss Lee Clark is keen to bolster his squad and if Castelen impresses during his training stint he could earn a move to the Midlands.

Police Chase Ends in Cornfield with Use of Taser
MITCHELL - Police in Mitchell have arrested a 36-year-old man accused of leading officers on circuitous 15-mile chase that ended in a cornfield with the use of a Taser.
Mitchell Police Maj. Leon tells The Daily Republic that Johnathan Daulton was arrested Friday on charges of drunken driving, aggravated eluding and open container charges.
Authorities say they tried to pull over Daulton's car but he refused to stop and drove through Mitchell neighborhoods. Pursuit speeds occasionally rose to 100 mph after Daulton headed into Hanson County.
Police say Daulton eventually drove into a cornfield and became stuck near a fence on the north side of Interstate 90. Police say they used a Taser when he refused to get out of the car.
Attorney information for Daulton was not immediately available.

Love them
These are only my 3rd ever pair of running shoes and I love them. They're comfy, light weight & feel responsive.
I'm not a neutral gait but I run in these and I've broke so many of my PB's since using these, including two Half-Marathon PB's.
Just wish they'd make shoes to support over-pronation & supination.

Fibromyalgia: The Game of Straws
Welcome to my Fibromyalgia blog. The topics discussed will also apply to many other pain conditions, such as myofascial pain, arthritis and chronic fatigue. The topics discussed are a result of years of interacting with you, the patient. For each lesson taught, there is a lesson learned. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to interact with so many wonderful patients. Thank you for teaching me along the way. As you read this blog, I hope you find something that you can apply to the management of your condition and improve the quality of your life.
The Game of Straws
Let's think about "the straw that broke the camel's back." If you consider different aspects of your life as contributing straws, you can begin to get an idea how too many straws may accumulate. Any type of stressor is stress and can add straws to your life. The three general categories of stress include physiological (illness, medical conditions), emotional and physical (daily physical and mechanical stressors).
As you accumulate straws, the ability of your mind and body to physiologically adapt decreases. As your body approaches its saturation point, you run out of adaptability. At this stage, it only takes one additional stressor to push things over the edge. Once this starts, a negative cascade begins during which time your Fibromyalgia symptoms become overwhelming and you can lose control of your life.
In developing self-care strategies and management skills for Fibromyalgia, you need to assess the areas of your life where you can start "taking away straws." Every single straw counts! As you start taking away straws, your body and mind will develop more adaptability. This translates into improved tolerance to the physical and emotional demands of life without a flare-up.
Take time to assess the areas of your life where you can start taking away straws. Analyze the areas that you can most easily change and that will have the biggest impact. Keep in mind that there will always be things that, even though they add more straws to your life, you cannot avoid. So take the initiative to create change in those areas of your life that you can control and take away those straws!
Your medical team may include, but is not limited to, a doctor, physical therapist, psychologist, nutritionist, podiatrist, massage therapist or acupuncturist. Each specialty may help you reduce straws in different areas of your life.
Your goal should be to take away enough straws in your life to enable you to return to a normal and healthy lifestyle.
Take control over your symptoms and don't let your symptoms control you!

As capable as the Suburban, in a (slightly) smaller package.
The Tahoe is the Suburban's marginally smaller — it's about two feet shorter, overall — but still pretty beefy brother. It comes with the same 5.3-liter engines and, most interesting, an available hybrid powertrain. The Tahoe Hybrid is powered by a 6.0-liter V-8 supplemented by electric motors. At low speeds, it can operate on electric power only, engine power only, or a combination of the two. At highway speeds, electric assist as well as Active Fuel Management (four of eight cylinders shut down when extra power isn't needed) work to reduce fuel consumption. The Hybrid's EPA numbers for city driving are impressive for such a large vehicle, with a 5-mpg jump in efficiency for both two- and four-wheel-drive models. Although the 300-volt nickel-metal hydride battery pack adds about 360 pounds to the Tahoe's curb weight, Chevy was able to find room for the pack under the floor, so it doesn't cut into passenger space. The Tahoe's interior finishes and overall lay-out are identical to those in the Suburban, as is its passenger capacity. Where it differs from its larger sibling is in cargo capacity behind the third row, which drops from 28.9 to 16.9 cubic feet. Driving the Tahoe is much like driving the larger Suburban, although the Hybrid's regenerative brakes lack feel and can be grabby, especially at lower speeds.

new for 2013
Powertrain-grade braking can now be activated in normal transmission mode (previously it was only possible in Tow/Haul mode). On downhill grades, the transmission downshifts to lessen the need for long braking applications and to reduce rotor strain. Champagne silver metallic, concord metallic, and blue ray metallic exterior colors are new.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; tire-pressure monitors; and traction and stability control are standard. OnStar is standard and automatically calls for help when a crash occurs. A backup sensor, a rearview camera, and blind-spot warning are optional.

What is the RLC?
The Republican Liberty Caucus is the oldest continuous operating organization dedicated to working within the Republican Party to restore the principles of individual liberty, limited government, and free market economics. The National RLC was founded in 1991 and has state chapters throughout the country.
All officers are volunteers who work without compensation to help elect Liberty Republicans to county and state GOP committees and to municipal, state and federal offices.
It is a 527 grassroots organization. The RLC endorses candidates and provides a centralized vehicle to for coordination, collaboration, and communication among Liberty Republicans nationwide. It also has a Political Action Committee to contribute to RLC-endorsed candidates' campaigns.
We welcome the involvement of new members who share our Statement of Principles and who want to work to change the GOP. We invite you to Join Us.
What does the RLC do?
The RLC works to expand our nationwide base of pro-liberty Republicans and work to establish active state/local chartered RLC affiliates and contacts throughout the country. We provide our members with information about campaigns, issues, and events of interest.
Republican Liberty Caucus members are active in grassroots campaigns and legislative initiatives across the nation and seek to push our RLC-endorsed candidates and issues to the forefront. Our members also attend GOP conventions and gatherings to identify like-minded individuals in the Republican Party and subsequently cultivate relationships with those individuals. We also maintain relationships with various liberty groups, like the Tea Party, in order to collaborate on issues of mutual interest.
What is the RLC's platform?
The RLC is an independent political membership organization that is not officially affiliated with the Republican National Committee.
The RLC has officially adopted a Statement of Principles and Positions that guides the organization.
RLC principles are best summarized in The Liberty Compact, which we ask candidates seeking RLC endorsement to sign:
I pledge to the citizens of this State, and to the American people, that as their elected representative I will work to: restore liberty, not restrict it; shrink government, not expand it; reduce taxes, not raise them; abolish programs, not create them; promote the freedom and independence of citizens, not the interference of government in their lives; and observe the limited, enumerated powers of our Constitution, not ignore them.
What types of people become active in the RLC?
The Republican Liberty Caucus is a political organization focused on a specific strategy in the pursuit of liberty. As with any organization, we don't choose our members — they pick us. If members agree to ~80% of our Statement of Principles and Positions, they're welcome to discuss and debate the points where they disagree.
Overall, our members believe in limited government and are focused on grassroots activism and participation to attain real political change through the Republican Party.
Does the RLC really believe that politicians can make a difference?
Americans seemed locked into a two party system. Based on the RLC Statement of Principles, we believe working within the Republican Party is the best direction toward limited government, individual liberty and free markets.
The best way to bring about change is for RLC to increase membership so that the GOP sees a critical mass of Liberty Republicans who are the Conscience of the Republican Party.
These RLC members then work for candidates to city, county and state committees where they can steer the GOP toward those principles.
Then chapters can endorse candidates for public office with the assurance that those candidates are principled because they signed The Liberty Compact and they will listen to RLC members.
Do I have to be a member of the GOP to join the RLC?
We certainly encourage RLC supporters to become active in their local and state Republican Party organizations, but it is not a requirement for RLC membership. However, RLC can only endorse Republican candidates so it makes sense that a registered Republican who cares about liberty would a logical candidate to join RLC.
The RLC does not implicitly support all of the positions or policies of any Republican Party office holder or party official. We do not implicitly endorse all of the platform positions of national or state Republican Parties. RLC will take sides in primaries and endorse the more liberty-oriented candidate.
We explicitly encourage Republican Party adoption and support of the principles and positions expressed in the official RLC Statement of Principles.
How can I contribute to the work of the RLC?
Your monetary contribution will help support the outreach of RLC.
There are three ways to make a donation:
* Contribute online by credit card or electronic check through our encrypted secure Membership Section; or
* Print out and mail this Donation Form to the RLC; or
* Make a monthly pledge through PayPal.
Individuals who make large contributions to the organization are automatically considered members. For example, if you sponsor a RLC booth at a local or state Republican Party function and the booth cost is $250, you are automatically enrolled as a RLC member as long as your name is forwarded to our Treasurer.
Please visit our "Ways to Give" page for additional donation options.
Is there a RLC chapter in my state?
Visit the State Chapters section of our website to contact your state contact.
If you would like to help Charter a state organization, you will need a copy of the State Charter Application and Sample By-Laws. The Charter Guide available at our site provides useful information about forming a RLC affiliate.
For additional information, please contact the appropriate Regional Director listed on the web site. He or she will help you get started to organize a chapter if your state has none or put you in touch with the state officers.
Does the RLC have National Conventions?
The RLC has a convention every two years. Our next Convention will be October 8th-11th, 2015 in Nashua, NH. Speakers include members of Congress and state legislators, leaders of public policy organizations, and communication experts who can help the RLC achieve electoral success. You can learn more about the 2015 Biennial Convention here.
RLC officers are elected to two year terms at the business meeting of the Biennial Convention. It also provides an opportunity for RLC members to meet like-minded individuals from around the country, compare notes on political and policy issues, and socialize with friends new and old.
Prior Conventions: 1994 – Gatlinburg, Tennessee; 1996 – Alexandria, Virginia; 1998 – Las Vegas, Nevada; 2000 – Atlanta, Georgia; 2002 – San Antonio, Texas; 2004 – Fresno, California; 2006 – Orlando, Florida; 2009 – Jacksonville, Florida; 2011 – Arlington, Virginia; 2013 – Austin, Texas.
Are any elected officials endorsed by the RLC?
Yes. Our members in Congress include Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah, Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Justin Amash of Michigan, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Roscoe Bartlett of Maryland, Adrian Smith of Nebraska, Scott Garrett of New Jersey, Jimmy Duncan of Tennessee, Jason Chaffetz of Utah, Jim Jordan of Ohio, and Doug Lamborn of Colorado.
The RLC also has many elected members in state legislatures across the country, and the Washington State Republican Party Vice Chair is an RLC member.

How does a candidate receive support from the RLC or RLC-USA PAC?
Our section on Candidates will be useful to any candidate seeking the RLC's support.
RLC National and Chartered State Boards review and may endorse candidates for public office at every level. Preference is given to Republican candidates who are RLC members or who have signed the RLC "Liberty Compact", but neither qualification is required and preference does not guarantee a RLC endorsement.
Candidates for Federal office (President, US Senate, US House) are endorsed by RLC National, with input from the states. The campaign contribution comes through the national RLC-USA PAC and is reported to the FEC.
Candidates for state offices (Governor, legislature, municipal) are endorsed by the RLC State Chapter. The campaign contribution comes through the state PAC and is reported to the appropriate state election oversight commission.
For most federal and state offices, candidates fill out a survey of their positions and submit it with links to their web sites, position papers and other pertinent background. Once reviewed by the members, a vote is taken on whether to bestow the RLC endorsement.
Republican presidential candidates are reviewed by a national RLC Endorsement Committee which submits a list of acceptable candidates to the national Board. If the National Board chooses to recommend an endorsement, it must be ratified by two-thirds (2/3) of the states in order to be an official RLC presidential endorsement.
Will the RLC support a Libertarian Party or independent candidate?
The RLC cannot endorsed Libertarian Party or Independent candidates in a race where there is a Republican Party candidate.
This does not mean that individual RLC members are party line voters. An individual's personal choice with regards to voting is not a litmus test for participation in the RLC. That means the organization and our membership sometimes break from the Republican Party establishment.
What is the RLC's position on abortion?
Our official position is neutral. RLC members hold both pro-life and pro-choice views on the issue, as well as those who are "in between." The RLC, like other libertarian-leaning advocacy groups, opposes all federal funding for abortions.
As far as libertarian groups go, you'll find that we are probably the most tolerant of the pro-life viewpoint. Our past Honorary Chairman, Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX), is extremely pro-life. Many other RLC members are pro-choice or choose to keep their views private.
There is no litmus test on the abortion issue. Most of our members prefer not to discuss the issue at all because it is not a "size of government" issue.
What is the relationship between the RLC and the Republican Party?
Membership in the RLC is not restricted to Republican Party members, but Regular Members must indicate an "intent to affiliate" with the Party in order to hold Caucus office or act as convention delegates. Since some states do not have party registration, the Caucus does not attempt to certify affiliation. Those who have publicly affiliated with another party, or as independents, are classified as Associate Members.
We encourage all of our members to become active in local, county, state and national party divisions, but the National office does not recommend that RLC state chapters seek official auxiliary or affiliated status with their state party. The reason is that there are common restrictions placed on auxiliary groups within the GOP, such as restrictions on primary election endorsements, conformity with party platform positions, loyalty oaths, and other items that contradict the goals and purpose of the Caucus (see Article II of the RLC's By-Laws).
The use of the word "Republican" in our name does not mandate conformity with Republican Party rules. Neither the RLC nor any of its chapters makes any claim to rights or powers that might be extended to the Republican Party or its officials by state or federal law.
How can the RLC be allied with the Republican National Committee?
The RLC does not implicitly support all of the positions or policies of any Republican Party office holder or party official. We do not implicitly endorse all of the platform positions of national or state Republican Parties. We explicitly encourage Republican Party adoption and support of the principles and positions expressed in the official RLC Statement of Principles.
Republican Liberty Caucus members likely share many of your concerns about the national leadership of the Republican Party. In fact, an RLC member who is a Republican National Committeeman from his state waged a campaign against a sitting incumbent for GOP National Chair.
The RLC is not the Republican National Committee. If you have a complaint about the direction of the Party, please take it up with the Republican National Committee and become involved in our efforts to change the direction of the party at the local level.
What does the RLC think of the religious right?
The RLC supports individual rights and believes that all voluntary, consensual conduct should be permissible in a free country. We seek a Republican Party of tolerance and a strong commitment to protect the rights of individuals.
Many of our members are religious; other members are not. We view religion and spirituality as a personal endeavor that should not impact public policy decisions.
"The religious right" encompasses a very large segment of the voting population, many of whom may consider voting for libertarian-leaning Republican candidates. Therefore our members are open to exchanging ideas with individual members of "the religious right."
Are there other Republican groups called the RLC?
There is another national Republican group that goes by the initials RLC, the Republican Leadership Council. The Republican Liberty Caucus was formed before the Republican Leadership Council and the two groups are not affiliated with one another.

Williston State to unveil new projects on October 24
Monday, October 21st, 2013
Posted by Kayla McKeil, Director of Marketing; Williston State College
Williston State to unveil new projects on October 24
WILLISTON, N.D. - Williston State College would like to announce the upcoming celebration of the grand opening of the WSC Foundation Apartment building and the dedication of the newly renovated front drive on Thursday, October 24th. Governor Jack Dalrymple plans to be in attendance and speak at the ceremony.
WSC Foundation Apartment Building
The WSC Foundation Apartment building project officially broke ground on October 4th, 2012. Move-in day for residents was this past August 15th. With the 74-unit facility at full-capacity, College and WSC Foundation officials feel they made the right decision in the construction of this complex.
"This is a great example of the value of cooperation as we work to develop affordable housing throughout western North Dakota," Gov. Dalrymple said. "This building includes students, faculty, staff, essential workers in the area, as well as low income individuals. It will be a great benefit to Williston State College as well as the entire community of Williston."
The complex, however, may not have been a reality if not for the contributions received through the North Dakota Housing Incentive Fund. While several individual citizens made contribution to the project, two key players made a significant impact with their gifts. Gate City Bank and US Bank contributed $1.25 million and $1.2 million each focusing $689,500 and $300,000 directly to the WSC Foundation Apartment project. Additionally, Williston's locally owned and operated American State Bank & Trust provided the financing for the project.
Front Drive Project
The renovation of the front drive project started this past summer, July 2013. Designed to beautify the campus entrance, it will provide a more efficient flow to traffic, safer pedestrian walkways, and a quad which can be used for events and activities.
"It looks beautiful and the new walk ways are really nice for us," says Sam Chamberlain, Student Senate President. "We're really looking forward to using the space."
In order to use the space to its fullest, WSC has been working with the Convention and Visitors Bureau, among other local organization, to identify where it can help fill needs and avoid duplication in the arena of event space.
"We want the community to see this space as an added benefit," said Shanna Curlin, Conference Service Manager. "Our goal is to provide education, services, and resources to our community through venues like this."
Celebrating Into the Night
Both projects will be celebrated jointly on October 24th. There will be a public ceremony at 3:30pm, which will take place at the entrance to the newly renovated front drive. Tours of both areas will follow.
Teton Hockey will be hosting their home opener that evening as well. RockWater Energy Solutions will be putting on a free BBQ tailgate at the Agri-Sports Complex to kick off the evening. There will be a ceremony at 7pm to unveil the national championship banner; the puck will drop at 7:10pm. Following the game, Wildcat Pizzeria will be holding a Teton Booster event starting at 9:30pm.
"This is a big day for us," says Kayla McKeil, Director for Marketing. "We're excited to celebrate both of these projects which have had great impact on the community and will literally change the way our campus is seen."
For more information on the October 24th celebration or on either the apt building or front drive, please contact Kayla McKeil at 701.774.4222 or email@example.com. For other information regarding Williston State, visit www.willistonstate.edu, call 1.888.863.9455, or stop by 1410 University Avenue, Williston, ND.

Introduction to the 50% Advanced Energy Design Guides (AEDGs)
The 50% Advanced Energy Design Guides (AEDGs) are a series of publications that provide recommendations for achieving at least 50% energy savings over the minimum code requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004. The guides were developed through a collaboration between ASHRAE, AIA, IES, USGBC, and DOE. Four 50% AEDGs have been published, with each addressing a specific building type:
- Small to medium office buildings
- K-12 school buildings
- Medium to big box retail stores
- Large hospitals
The webinar provided an overview of features of the 50% AEDGs, which allow design and construction teams to achieve advanced levels of energy savings without having to resort to detailed calculations or analyses. Prescriptive recommendations are contained in a single table for each of the eight U.S. climate zones. Additional "how-to" information is cross-referenced with numbered tips and color-coded climate zone maps. Case studies of advanced building designs and technologies were also provided to illustrate points and demonstrate the flexibility offered by the AEDG. Bonus recommendations point out additional opportunities to incorporate greater energy savings. The AEDGs are available as free PDF downloads (registration required) from the ASHRAE website.

So two days after asking people for guest posts and I've gotten over a hundred.
Unless I stay on hiatus for a year, I'll never be able to post all of these. I doubt I'll even get to post 1/3 of them, and they keep coming.
This is unfortunate, because there is a lot of good information in these posts that writers could benefit from.
Which got me to thinking about the obvious solution: These should be compiled into an ebook.
Over one hundred ebook authors writing about their personal publishing journeys. We'd all want to read that.
I don't have the time, or the energy to do such a project. The compiling and editing would be a nightmare. Plus, there's no way to split royalties on a $2.99 ebook among 150 authors. Sending monthly paypals to 150 people for 8 cents each is ridiculous.
That said, it would be a shame if all this info wasn't available.
So I had an idea. I called up my ebook designer, Rob Siders of 52 Novels, and asked if he'd be interested in compiling this collection.
Rob told me he was interested. Here's how we'd do it:
I'd write the intro, and put a few pieces in there, so it would be an ebook edited by J.A. Konrath & Rob Siders. So far, no one has written the definitive tome on ebook self-publishing. This could be it.
Rob does amazing work, and he's going to put in dozens of hours on this project, and he deserves to be paid. I'm not going to pay him, because I'm not going to make any money on this. I'm just the figurehead.
So this is my proposal. I think this ebook should be priced at $2.99, and Rob keeps the money.
If you're a writer who sent me a guest blog, I'm sure part of the reason you did it was to reach my readers and publicize your ebook.
An ebook collection would work in the same way. You get the exposure and links to your titles, Rob gets paid for the untold hours he has to put in, and I don't have to disappoint anyone.
I don't pay people for guest blogs. And I've always allowed people to repost my blog entries on their blogs (or in their how-to books) for free, so I'm not asking you for anything you weren't already willing to give away.
I'll make zero money on this, but my name is pretty well-known, so you'll get your article in front of a lot of eyes. Your article, plus links to your ebooks and your websites and blogs.
Rob would be asking for non-exclusive rights, meaning you could use your piece elsewhere, and you could have it taken out of the collection at any time.
What do you folks think?

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.
Sunday, September 16, 2012
Abi-Maria: Hot Tamale
Pssst. I'm baaaaack. Did you miss me? Grab your goblets of gin, your bowls of glitter, and settle in because we've got 218 cast bios to get through and time's a wasting! I'll do a few everyday right up until the premiere this Wednesday on CBS. My first recap will go up Thursday as will all recaps from here on out. Be sure to follow me on Twitter and friend me on Facebook for updates whenever I make a new blog post. Plus, if this year is anything like last year, I'll get some more death threats from girls named Prunes (Chelsea) and it'll be sassy hijinks for all involved. So, are you ready? Let's do this!
First up is 32 year old Abi-Maria Gomes. Abi-Maria comes to us from Los Angeles, but has dual citizenship in the United States and Brazil. Naturally, I assume she comes from Ipanema, wears a feather headdress to church, and struts to the samba beat in her heart like all hot Brazilians do. In her CBS.com bio, Abi-Maria describes herself as driven, creative, and as charming as Parvati. As someone who is a fan of the manipulative flirty sex game, Abi-Maria could be the fierce bitch I've been pining for season in and season out. I'm tired of these girls who yawn their way through to the finals after spending night after night cowering under baseball caps and crying over their prune fingers. We need some heat. We need some fire. We need some salsa goddammit!
Another thing I like about Abi-Maria is that she has no qualms or hesitation telling us that she is in the game of Survivor purely for the money. No fluffy, "I'm in it for the experience and to meet new people" out of this chick. She wants that cash and she'll strut up and down the beach in her beaded Carnival costumes in order to get it. Finally, someone I can respect!
Alright, let's check out her video and see if she's the jingly temptress I want her to be. Please to enjoy:
Trouble with a capital 'T'. Senorita Abi-Maria may say she'll lay low and play the underdog, but there is no way in hell this little spitfire is going to let anyone walk all over her. Anyone who can call themselves humble in one breath and then tell us in the next that everyone will be impressed by simply watching her strut by is my kind of gal! I'm not saying she'll win the million dollars, but I think she could definitely be fun to watch. Plus, I have a soft spot for the blonde Latinas. Hot tempered and full of contradictions. A magical pairing. Like wine and cheese. Vicodin and smoothies. Gin and glitter.
As you know, I am always biased to any Survivors who contact me pre-season and Abi-Maria has already sent me a cute little note. She called me beautiful so, naturally, I think we're best friends now. Let's see how long I stay on her good side because I can totally see her taking off her hoop earrings before scratching my eyeballs out while Shakira plays in the background.
So, what do you guys think of Abi-Maria? Do you think she'll be entertaining or mild with no jalapenos. Comment it out bitches!

aahhh You are back.ReplyDelete
I am liking Abi-Maria so far, just reading her Bio and following her comments on FB, I think she may turn out to be all of the above.
Love the Baseball Cap/Prunes reference, never let a good bitch go eh.
Looking forward to a great season with you and Survivor.Replies
Thanks Rob! I'm excited to be back. Big Brother was such a disappointment that I'm dying to sink my teeth into Survivor again.Delete
Abi-Maria is super cool on Facebook and she seems to get my weirdo brand of humor. We're starting off on a great foot so far! It can only get better from here, right? Oh please god let me be right. LOL

I can't watch your video's as the uploader hates all Australians.ReplyDelete
Given your impeccable taste in all things human natured, I'll blindly go along with you and like her.

All I could think of while watching her is that she's a tiger and she was constantly contemplating how far could she lean aft and arch her back to not look flat chested and not fall off the dock. Just wait till she gets a load of Air Baggs! I predict turbulence ahead. Should be fun. Watch them zero in on each other and pretend to be best friends. Muaahahahaha Bring on the claws! Air Baggs better watch her back or she's gonna get popped.ReplyDelete
If nothing else a little spicy flair is worth rubbernecking over.

Adobe is pleased to be part of the Invest in America Alliance, led by Intel, which aims to further anchor the nation's competitiveness through long-term investment in industries and talent poised to produce the next breakthroughs in technology innovation. Participating in the Alliance directly aligns with our ongoing commitment to university recruiting and our ability to meet our goal of having new college grads make up 10-15% of our overall hiring.
Although we recently completed our on-campus recruiting efforts for the 2009-10 school year, we are still actively recruiting for both new college grad and intern positions (technical, non-technical and MBA). Check out the Careers section of Adobe.com and choose "University" in the Job Field drop-down to see the positions we are currently looking to fill.
And, look for us next fall on campuses such as Brown, BYU, Cal Poly SLO, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, University of Washington and University of Utah as well as at the Stanford, Haas, Kellogg, Wharton and Harvard business schools.
