iPhone 5 Price, Release Date and Specs Announced
As expected, Apple today revealed the iPhone 5. The new iPhone 5 is the first significant update to the iPhone line in 2 years, after last year's incremental iPhone 4S release, and just in time for iPhone 4 users' contracts to expire. Perfect timing again, Apple.
Starting off with the hardware changes, the new iPhone has a 1136 x 640 (326 ppi) resolution, 4″ multitouch display – for the first time offering a true 16×9 display ratio – ideal for viewing HD video content. This bigger screen also buys you one extra row of apps on the home screen. While Apple has already upgraded its bundled apps for the taller screen, existing apps will be centered on the screen with tiny black bars above and below. The new display is also much thinner, and touts 44% more color saturation than the previous model.
From the front, the iPhone 5 doesn't look dramatically different – though the camera has been centered above the speaker at the top of the phone, and it looks a little stretched out thanks to the larger screen. On the backside of the unibody aluminum case, you can see a two-toned matte finish which looks nice and is should be way less susceptible to breakage than the all-glass back of the last generation. The iPhone is 7.6mm thick and it weighs 112 grams, making it the thinnest and lightest iPhone yet – 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the 4S as a matter of fact.
Under the hood, the iPhone 5 has an upgraded processor, the A6, which Apple says is twice as fast as its predecessor in both the CPU and graphics departments. And thank goodness, Apple has finally jumped on the 4G bandwagon, offering 4G LTE high-speed connectivity. Assuming you live in a 4G coverage area, this is reason alone to upgrade. The phone also supports HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA wireless technologies. Wi-Fi has also gotten a boost, with 802.11a/b/g/n and dual channel 2.4/5GHz support.
Despite the upgrades to CPU and wireless, Battery life is rated at 8 hours on an LTE connection, and 10 hours on Wi-Fi, which I assume they achieved thanks to the new low-power display. Word is that the battery is only a 1440 mAh model – in comparison, the Droid RAZR MAXX has a 3300 mAh battery – but it also has a much larger screen and older display tech.
The iPhone 5's camera sounds like no slouch, and it has to live up to the stellar camera in the iPhone 4S. It's got an 8 megapixel sensor with backside illumination, a hybrid IR filter, five-element lens and an f/2.4 aperture. A new dynamic low-light mode provides 2 extra f-stops of performance compared to the 4S too. The new camera also is faster by up to 40%, and offers a spacial noise reduction algorithm in its new image processing chip. The camera also supports a panorama mode similar to the one found on Sony cameras, shooting massive 28 megapixel widescreen images.
Video mode offers 1080p HD capture with improvements to image stabilization, as well as face detection, and the ability to snap stills while shooting. The front-facing FaceTime HD camera offers 720p resolution, with backside illumination, face detection. You'll also be able to use FaceTime on cellular networks now. Also upgraded is the audio system, with three microphones (front, back and bottom), as well as improved speakers. In addition, you'll note that the headphone jack has been moved to the bottom of the phone.
One major change is the switch from the long-standing 30-pin dock connector to a new all-digital, 8-pin connector, dubbed "Lightning." While the new connector is more durable and 80% smaller to allow for smaller and thinner devices, it does mean you'll need to start buying new accessories unless you'rewilling to deal with the use of an adapter.
Of course, Apple will gladly sell you some ugly, but necessary 30-pin-to-Lightning connector adapters for $29 a piece. One can only guess that Apple will make tens of millions of dollars selling these over the next few months.
As anticipated, the iPhone 5 will ship with iOS 6, which is loaded with lots of goodies, including improved phone call handling (such as sending a text or SMS when you can't accept a call,) Facebook integration, upgrades to Safari, Mail, Facetime and Siri. Shared Photo Stream lets you share images with family and friends, and allows comments and likes as well.
The new Passbook app will let you organize tickets, coupons and gift cards in one neat digital wallet. However, it looks like Apple chose to forgo NFC (Near-field communication) technology for now, which certainly doesn't help the fortunes of that budding technology.
iOS 6 also is the first release to do away with Google's apps – so both the Maps and YouTube apps you know will be gone. Instead, you'll get Apple's new maps app, which features sharp, vector-based images, turn-by-turn navigation, traffic information, Siri and Yelp integration. The only real concern here is how accurate and up-to-date Apple's mapping data will be in comparison to the years of information Google has collected. As for YouTube, just grab Google's own new YouTube app now. It's much better anyhow.
The iPhone 5 will come in three memory configurations: 16GB ($199 USD), 32GB ($299 USD), 64GB ($399 USD) with a 2-year contract. All models are available in either black or white, with that sexy aluminum back. As a bonus, you can pick up the "old" iPhone 4S for just $99, starting today. 4G LTE Carriers for the iPhone 5 are as follows: U.S.: Sprint, AT&T, Verizon. Canada: Bell, Rogers, Telus, Fido, Virgin Mobile; UK/Germany: T-Mobile; Japan: Softbank and KDDI; Korea: SKT and KT; Hong Kong: SmarTone; and Singapore: SingTel.
The iPhone 5 will be available for pre-order starting this Friday, September 14th, 2012, and will land in stores and homes in North America, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore on September 21st. 20 more countries will get the phone next month. Keep an eye out on the Apple website for pre-order details and more specs.
With all the leaks from parts makers over the last few months, there were no real surprises in today's announcement, but the iPhone 5 still looks like the most impressive phone Apple has made to date. Assuming battery life is as good as they say, and the 4G networks aren't brought to their knees when it launches, I can't see many reasons not to upgrade if you've got an iPhone 4 or earlier model.

Comments (30):
Frankly i am not impressed at the Iphone 5….just a bigger screen and slightly better camera….cmon Apple
Nice Style, Better Usage, Better Battery, Better Camera, New Features, Siri is Better, lighter, bigger scream, more portable, better applications, better memory, photo stream, camera stream… and much more! Can't belive you are not impressed by the fact that EVERYTHING is much better…
So… it's an incremental upgrade again? There's nothing unique or new to the phone at all that makes me go "I MUST HAVE THIS FEATURE!" Everything they added has been on phones for years now.
Exactly! I don't think iPhone stands out from the competitors
You must be joking…There's absolutely nothing innovative about this phone.
Upgraded camera and a bigger screen is called being innovative these days? lolThe best thing I see about this phone is LTE and besides the fact that every smartphone on the market supports LTE, Samsung is already suing Apple for their LTE patent infringement. There's a very good chance, Apple is not even going to sell iphone5.
And not to mention 4 inch screens are 2 years ago for Android. 4G LTE is a year and a half old. it shoulda been on the 4s. They didn't do anything. It's a real shame when even the iSheep are disappointed. Thank God for Android.
I agree that this phone is better than 4S (Obviously..) but is it worth an upgrade?? I mean, I have a 4S and I don't see anything that I should get rid of 4S and go for 5!! Personally, i feel GS3 has much more better features!!
You obviously looked over the 4G, battery life and everything else in this article.
I own a 4S, my contract expires next year. I want to know how much it is without a contract. So I could possibly switch. If not i can wait till the 5S
I have read over it. I used to have the 3, 3g, 3gs, 4, 4s and now have the Galaxy S3 which is by far the better phone. Everyone already has 4G lte (the 4s was supposed to have it and failed) battery life? it is HALF the size battery than what the androids are using and they are considered battery hogs. New speakers, nothing to prove that the Processor is as good as they say it is. Bottom line is that since Jobs passed, Apple has sucked and they know they are behind the times, hence why the continue to sue and go after Samsung, LG and everyone because they all have Superior products.
I just found it online…16G for $599 and 32G for $699.
Are you serious? I'm upgrading both mine and my wife's iPhone 4S's we bought a year ago for the iPhone 5! 4G LTE was enough to get my motor running! Haters will always hate the largest corporation in the world…you can buy a new iPhone 5 for LESS that it costs for ONE SHARE of Apple Stock…lol. I am counting the seconds until my pre-ordered iPhone 5 arrives at my doorstep! Working from home that day so I don't miss a moment the the sexy babe!
the diffrenceit thathaters can back their opinions and lovers dont,,dont you see apple chose tom ake the iphone5 thnner than using bigger battery,you wont get any help with a thinner phone…thats the nonsense mindset of apple
What the hell, why didn't they tell the price without a contract? Well if it's $400 for a 2 year contract, I don't think I want to know..
in south africa its verging on R8500 to R9000 so its bout $1020 for phone alone if im not mistaken
"most impressive phone Apple has made to date"
well i certainly hope so considering they only make one type of phone…
Meh.. Now I know for sure I´l wait for the awesome Lumia 920..
Galaxy S III Win the Match !!
Not much different besides the bigger screen and 4G. But iPhone lovers will be iPhone lovers.
The phone look is very gud and,the screen look is excellent it has a charming look ,I am waiting for iPhone 5 from last 6 month to purchase iPhone 5 it is full changed from iPhone 4 . I want to buy as soon as possible Plz give me some choice how can I get I phone 5
Id like to get it to be cool because I'm not popular but if I get it maybe I'll be at least not bullied at scool
you should probably pick up an english class while you're at this "scool"
No doubt!
I have an iPhone 4s but that doesn't make me cooler than I was before I got it………………………
Pllzzzz…..Can any bdy tell me about da Iphone 5 price 16gb without Contract…in USA….?????
Go to any site and try to buy one, click "no contract". Or visit apple.com, lol.
I love iphone
This. Is. Awesome! Pre-ordered this sexy babe from Sprint as soon as thet opened the site. Paid $924 for a white 64GB (including NJ sales tax) because my Sprint plan was re-upped for the 4S when they started carrying iPhone. Going to wait until I get mine in to upgrade the wife's 4S to a 5. Seriously, am counting the seconds until it comes in. I hope Apple surprises us like they did with iPad 2 (though notwith ipad "3") and ship it to pre-orderers a day or two before it hits the streets…
hash.. iphone 5? i prefere to use SIII i phone 5 is a big joke of apple they call that innovative i dont see any changes except for big screen and upgraded camera… disappointing im waiting for the release of this phone but im not anymore interested…

Mandy asks…
If I retire at 63 instead of 65, what part of my 401-k from my workplace can I rollover to an IRA ?
Will it also include my employer's matching contribution which is about 25% of my contribution?
Pension Forecast answers:
With a 401k, your age has nothing to do with whether it can be rolled over or not. The only thing that matters is your vesting. Check with your employer (HR dept.) or with the 401k plan to make sure that you are fully (100%) vested. If you are, then all of it can be rolled over without any penalties.
When you are ready to rollover your 401k, just get a distribution form from the 401k plan and fill in the section for "direct rollover" with the info on the financial institution and your account number for your IRA. Most of the time, they will cut a check with the title of the financial institution for benefit of you. You then take the check to the company that is holding your IRA and you are all set.
For more info on IRA's, go to http://www.irs.gov and download publication 590. It is very easy to read and has a lot of good examples.
Good luck!
Donald asks…
I am 4o years old, no sorts of investments. what can i invest in and how much, to retire at 63?
Pension Forecast answers:
S&P 500 index fund…dollar cost average.
Linda asks…
Anyone know if you can get Medicaid at 63 if you retire?
What about a widow's pension? I am in Indiana and don't know who to call to ask these questions. Thanks!
Pension Forecast answers:
OK, let's define the terms.
Medicaid, welfare health insurance, is run on a state by state basis. To qualify, you have to apply. They look at HOUSEHOLD income, HOUSEHOLD assets, and the number of people living in the house, to qualify. It is NOT age based.
Medicare, is welfare health insurance run by the federal government. To get it, you have to be disabled, over 65, or end stage renal failure.
Pensions are pretty much a thing of the past – very few employers offer them any more. You'd talk to the employer, to see if there is one.
Social Security Survior benefits, might be what you're talking about – it's a fraction of what your deceased spouse's benefit was, based on THEIR earnings, if you have no earnings. Here's a list of qualifying survivors that might be eligible for benefits:
•A widow or widower — full benefits at full retirement age, or reduced benefits as early as age 60
•A disabled widow or widower — as early as age 50
•A widow or widower at any age if he or she takes care of the deceased's child who is under age 16 or disabled, and receiving Social Security benefits
•Unmarried children under 18, or up to age 19 if they are attending high school full time. Under certain circumstances, benefits can be paid to stepchildren, grandchildren, or adopted children.
•Children at any age who were disabled before age 22 and remain disabled.
•Dependent parents age 62 or older
You can look all this up, at the social security website – www.socialsecurity.gov
William asks…
Can a retiree with a marginal income obtain a loan against mortgage of property?
I am a retired 63 year old and receive a small pension of about Rs. 2.5 thousand p.m.. I also work from home and have a contract with a US based Company which pays me an average of Rs. 5 thousand per month (depending on my work input). I have no monthly running expenses as I live with my son. The property we live in is owned by me and is valued at over Rs. 25 lakhs. My son is prepared to be my co-borrower on the basis of his monthly earnings, if my earnings are not acceptable. I am in perfectly good health.
Pension Forecast answers:
Go for reverse mortage by SBI, etc. In this, you will get a lump sum or monthly instalment according to you wish. The main attraction is that you do not have to replay any amount. After your death, if your children want to regain the property, they have to pay up the mortage amount. For you it is peace of mind in your old age.
Charles asks…
I'm looking for health insurance.?
I'm 63, retired. I've found a couple of companies in Oregon that will cover me with a catastropic insurance policy. They are willing to add common coverage such as doctor's visits, hospital, preventative exams, etc. for fees. That is, a fee for each of them.
I prefer no deductable. Is that possible at a reasonable cost?
How can I sort through the mess and determine which company is reputable? Prices are all over the place.
Oh, yes…. I am in great health, no prescriptions, annual check ups only.
Pension Forecast answers:
There are quite a few top notch health insurance companies offering policies in Oregon.
Be sure to choose a reputable company like a Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Humana, Aetna, etc.
Compare quotes from at least 3 different companies side by side in order to find the best rate.
You shouldn't have any problems at all finding a relatively cheap policy from a reputable company because of your excellent health but you will probably want to choose a plan with a higher deductible (you can always choose a plan with copays for doctor visits and prescriptions if you like that way you don't have to satisfy your deductible before you get a copay for prescriptions and doctor visits).
Here is some more information how to choose the best health insurance company and also some information on Oregon health insurance specifically:

Media Contact: Mary Margaret Colliver, 859-361-1887
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 22, 2008) William Safire, renowned columnist, author and speaker, will be the guest speaker for the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Foundation's 22nd annual dinner on Oct. 16, 2008 at the Marriott Griffin Gate Resort in Lexington.
Safire is chairman of the Dana Foundation and the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives. The Dana Alliance is comprised of more than 265 neuroscientists dedicated to raising awareness of the latest progress in brain research. Safire is a winner of the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for distinguished commentary and in 2006 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was also a senior White House speechwriter for President Nixon and the author of Freedom, a novel of Lincoln and the Civil War. In 1972, Safire became a political columnist for The New York Times and continues to write a Sunday column for the New York Times Magazine.
"The UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is privileged to have William Safire as our featured guest for our 22nd anniversary celebration and fundraiser," said Jodie Bingham, director of the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Foundation. "His political background makes him an ideal candidate to discuss the current activities of our political parties and to hear his comments close to the national election."
Safire, 77, says "retire" is a terrible word. As chairman of the Dana Foundation, Safire says he got into this field as a volunteer, first helping to publicize the foundation's work. "This is the best way for older people to ease into the next job," said Safire. "You have to invest in something, a volunteer or an outside interest, so that you got a running jump on the last quarter of your life," he said.
Safire admits that he sometimes misses his old gig. "Oh, once in a while, you get up in the morning and you see something in the paper and then you know what you would write as a column," he said. "That passes."
But even if you are busy with your current life and job, Safire says it's always important to think about the next thing. Those who don't are kidding themselves. "If you can't spend fives minutes in the course of a day saying hey, what's next for me and what do I get involved in, then when I get to a certain age, it's not a surprise and I have to look wildly and say what do I do now. I say never retire."
Safire attended Syracuse University; a dropout after two years, he returned a generation later to deliver the commencement address and is now a trustee emeritus. From 1955 to 1968, Safire was a public relations executive in New York City. He was responsible for bringing President Nixon and Nikita Khrushchev together in the 1959 Moscow "kitchen" debate to publicize his client's kitchen. In 1968, he left to join the campaign of Richard Nixon.
Besides being the author of Freedom, he published Scandalmongers, explaining the roots of liberty of the press. "Safire's Political Dictionary" has helped generations of politicians and voters understand one another; its fully updated 5th edition was published in April 2008. His anthology of great speeches, "Lend Me Your Ears," is the best seller in that field.
Safire is married to Helene Safire, a glass artist; they have a son and daughter. The Safires live in a suburb of Washington, D.C.
Attended by about 800 people each year, the dinner features speakers who focus on, and are examples of, successful aging. Previous guest speakers have included such well-known figures as Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Coach John Wooden, Barbara Bush, Colin Powell, John Glenn, Bob Dole, Art Linkletter, Willard Scott, Lauren Bacall, Andy Rooney, Hugh Downs, Newt Gingrich and Ed McMahon.
The UK Sander-Brown Center on Aging has been conducting research on Alzheimer's disease, stroke and other aging related concerns for almost 30 years. The center was established in 1979 and is one of 10 original National Institutes of Health-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers. It is internationally acclaimed for its progress in the fight against illnesses that face everyone and their families as they grow older.
The center is dedicated to advancing the well being of the elderly. Its major goal is to support healthy aging. It is at the forefront of research on prevention, early diagnosis of dementing diseases and studies on the causes of those diseases. The center also is one of five Commonwealth of Kentucky Centers of Excellence and is a recognized leading center.
Foundation board members from around Kentucky personally support the center and serve as ambassadors for it in key areas. Private contributions have helped raise the center to its current level. UK's Center on Aging Foundation helps secure private gifts for the center's important work. In its lifetime, this fundraising organization has made progress in obtaining support from corporations, foundations and individuals. Although every source of funding is important, private support through charitable gifts has become more significant than ever because of the increased costs of research and uncertain funding from state and federal sources. Private donations allow the center to sustain and develop new and innovative clinical research projects and to develop patient and caregiver programs that will lead to key advances in both the treatment and prevention of diseases that affect the elderly.
For more information about the UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging and the foundation and its annual fundraising event, call 859-323-5374.

Monday, January 30, 2006 - Page updated at 12:00 AM Love for the Seahawks abounds in the 'burbsSeattle Times staff reporter Maybe they should be called the Burien Seahawks. Sure, there are plenty of die-hard Seahawks fans in Seattle — even more in these bandwagon days. But to find the deepest blue-and-green vein, hop on Interstate 5 or cross Lake Washington. The suburbs are where it's at. Football is by far the country's most popular sport, often marketed with a dose of patriotic, even militaristic attitude. You just don't find that sentiment in anti-war Fremont, the land of nude bicyclists and a statue of Lenin. Consider the numbers. Despite the "12th Man" flag planted atop the Space Needle, just 14 percent of people in Seattle identify themselves as strong NFL fans, according to Scarborough Research, a New York-based firm that conducts detailed surveys of consumer behavior. The fan base is double that — 28 percent — in South King County. On the Eastside and in Pierce County, 21 percent follow the NFL and Seahawks. In Snohomish County, 16 percent. The data, based on surveys done before the Seahawks' playoff run, undoubtedly lag behind the current frenzy. But that also shows where the true Seahawk faithful reside. If you think the numbers lie, consider this: None of the team's 19 official Sea Hawkers booster clubs meets in Seattle. Although two of the clubs include parts of the city, leaders confirm their membership is mostly suburban, and the groups meet in places such as Burien and Kenmore. Why is that? Is Seattle too snooty for football? For that, we have no firm data, but there are theories. "Basically, a lot of the people living in the city right now are the latt� group," said Jerry Martinez of Sequim, a lifelong Seahawks fan on his way to Detroit in his impossible-to-ignore motor home, the Seahawk Express.
Martinez notes much of his "Seahawks family" — the most zealous, elaborately costumed and colorfully nicknamed fans getting so much media exposure in the run-up to the Super Bowl — also lives in the 'burbs. You'll find "Mr. & Mrs. Seahawk" in Auburn and "Kiltman" in Everett. "Painted Hawk" lives in Fife, and "Cannonball" in Bonney Lake. Perhaps the most ardent Seahawks fan of all, "Mama Blue," aka Patti Hammond, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999 for her devotion to the team, lives in Shoreline. John Rizzardini, Seahawks vice president for marketing, confirmed the team's fan base is strong in the suburbs. In fact, 42 percent of the team's season tickets are sold to people outside of King County, he said. Rizzardini said the Seahawks are especially popular in military towns like Everett and around Fort Lewis. "The game of football is closely tied to the military. It's a very patriotic game," he said. Do we need to mention Seattle's Lenin statue again? Perhaps not incidentally, Seattle's new City Council president, Nick Licata, made his name in politics opposing taxpayer subsidies for sports stadiums as part of Citizens for More Important Things. Asked about the Seahawks, Licata detachedly recalled how he used to watch football as a kid. "It was interesting to watch them run around the field. It wasn't as boring as baseball." But there is a lot to do in Seattle, a city known for its book-reading, filmgoing population. Most of the time, people are focused on other things. "You always root for the home team, but I think most of the time they're unaware of them," Licata said of Seattleites. "They're not 365-days-a-year fans." That's not necessarily true in cities with a deeper football tradition. Certainly not in Steeler-crazed Pittsburgh. "Pittsburgh has a history of winning championships, so there tends to be a stronger bond between the whole market and a team when they have a history of success," said Whitney Wagner, a sports business instructor at the University of Oregon's Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. "Pittsburgh as a city is defined much more by the Steelers and its sports teams. Seattle is defined by Starbucks and Boeing and rain and the Space Needle." In fact, the market-research data from Scarborough last year ranked the Pittsburgh area as the No. 2 market in the country in percentage of football fans, with 41 percent of the people there identifying as strong fans. The Seattle-Tacoma region ranked 65th, with about 20 percent of the population. But if the Seahawks pull off an upset victory on Sunday, who knows? For the record, David Israel, the president of the Sea Hawkers fan clubs, does live in Seattle's Seward Park neighborhood. Israel said there used to be more fan clubs in the city, but they faded away over the years. Israel said he sees plenty of Seahawks fans in the city. And if Seattle isn't known as a football town now, this year's success could be the start. "I guarantee that's gonna change. Even if it is bandwagon fans," Israel said. Times staff researcher Gene Balk contributed to this report. Jim Brunner: 206-515-5628 or email@example.com Copyright © 2006 The Seattle Times Company Most read articles

Satellite Photos of Japan, Before and After the Quake and Tsunami: VIEW PHOTOS
Excerpt from The New York Times,
Aerial photos taken over Japan have revealed the scale of devastation across dozens of suburbs and tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
Once on the page, hover over each satellite photo to compare satellite images, taken by GeoEye, from before and after the disaster.

NASA Images Tsunami's Effects on Northeastern Japan
Excerpt from NASA, EOS
Image Source: NASA/GSFC/LaRC/JPL, MISR Team
The extent of inundation from the destructive and deadly tsunami triggered by the March 11, 2011, magnitude 8.9 earthquake centered off Japan's northeastern coast about 130 kilometers (82 miles) east of the city of Sendai is revealed in this before-and-after image pair from the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft.
The new image, shown on the right, was acquired at 10:30 a.m. local time (01:30 UTC) on March 12, 2011 during Terra orbit 59731. For comparison, a MISR image from March 16, 2001, acquired under nearly identical illumination conditions during Terra orbit 6607, is shown on the left.
From top to bottom, each image extends from just north of the Abukuma River (which is about 21 kilometers, or 13 miles, south of Sendai) to south of the town of Minamisoma (population 71,000, located in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture about 70 kilometers, or 44 miles, south of Sendai), and covers an area of 78 kilometers (48 miles) by 104 kilometers (65 miles). Flooding extending more than 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) inland from the eastern shoreline is visible in the post-earthquake image. The white sand beaches visible in the pre-earthquake view are now covered by water and can no longer be seen. Among the locations where severe flooding is visible is the area around Matsukawa-ura Bay, located just north and east of the image center.
These unique images enhance the presence of water in two ways. First, their near-infrared observations cause vegetated areas to appear red, which contrasts strongly with water. Second, by combining nadir (vertical-viewing) imagery with observations acquired at a view angle of 26 degrees, reflected sunglint enhances the brightness of water, which is shown in shades of blue. This use of observations at different view angles causes a stereoscopic effect, where elevated clouds have a yellow tinge at their top edges and blue tinge at their bottom edges.

My L. chinense v. rubrum 'Pizzazz' is no higher than a foot-probably less. I wasn't aware of it being dwarf & I've been waiting on it to spurt...since I've had it in the ground for about 2 yrs. now. I've just found that this plant has many synonymns. Apparently, 'Pizzazz' is another name for 'Plum Delight'. You'll also find more info under the names 'Hines Burgundy' & 'Hines Purpleleaf'. Only one reference I found has 4-6' listed, but I doubt it. I did fine one site saying that 'Little Red' was a compact form. ~Rosemarie |

The ones planted that I've seen around the city here in Tallahassee are tremendously tall. I really like the look and foilage but need a dwarf. Thank you for your help! |
I planted a Pink Pizzaz and a Plum Delight. The Plum Delight blooms earlier and heavier than the Pink Pizzaz, but both are tall and wide. I don't think it comes in a dwarf, at least, I've never seen one. |
Ruby and Suzanne are the two most compact forms. Ruby is showing up more often in the nurseries in Birmingham, but still not at the discount centers. I don't believe either of these are really true dwarfs. They are just more compact than the other forms, which eventually get very very large. I actually have seen a lot of pruned Loropetalums that look pretty good even as tight purple hedges - of course they completely lose their airy, open form, but still look good. No doubt lose the majority of their flowers as well. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Michael Dirr Article on Loropetalums
Hmmmm, the plants I bought were labeled Plum Delight and Pink Pizzaz, and the Plum Delight has consistenly bloomed earlier and better than the Pizzaz. I am shocked beyond words to read that they are one and the same, they certainly haven't behaved that way in my garden. |
I have been trying to find a loropetalum for a smaller space. It sounds like choosing a particular plant is going to be questionable, size-wise. What about Razzleberri (Monvaz?)? From what I read, it gets 2 to 4' tall (one source) or 4 to 6' tall (another source) and is 4 to 5' wide. Anyone have experience with this one? Thanks - Lynn ps On the Pizazz, I found internet info saying everything from "max ht 4'" to "6' X 10'." I am beginning to feel a little frustrated. |
I don't know what variety my gardener planted for me, but in the past year it has stayed 1' tall, and is even shorter now, with the CA poppies leaning all over it. I keep waiting for it to get bigger -- it's gotten wider, but not much taller. The leaves are dark purple, fading to greenish, lots of flowers at least. |
Well, now I know why they say don't post your question more than a couple of times. I searched for loropetalum & asked questions on several strands (is that want they are called?). Am having trouble keeping up. Guess that is part of being new. Haven't ever done this before - on any site. This is fun, though! Thanks for your imput. I'm about to decide to have the loropetalum removed that my garden person put in without my saying I wanted it - it is bumped up against the back corner of my porch on each side next to the house. Unless she can find out what kind of loropetalum it is. Or maybe not. . . I am so decisive!!! |
Remember, any woody shrub can be pruned to suit hte size of the area. Granted if you want a shrub to only get to 3' tall, plant a cultivar that would grow no bigger than 4-5' max so that the plant doesn't look sick and leggy even after the pruning. Pruning 'Burgundy' down to 3-4' would NOT be a good/healthy bet. In general, 'Suzanne' seems to be a great small loro, and in my opinion, look the best if you wanted to keep it small even with a slight haircut every summer. Here's a list I've found to help "clarify" trademarked patented names with cultivars and common names of Loropetalum: 'Blush'—also known as: Razzleberri, Piroche Form, 'Daybreak's Flame' 'Zhuzhou Fuchsia'—also known as: 'Pipa's Red' Plum Delight —also known as: 'Hines Purpleleaf', 'Hines Burgundy', Pizzazz™ |

Can anyone tell me how to take cuttings and grow them? I have 3 small shrubs and want to make more out of them. I am using them for their beauty and as a natural fencing around my hot tub. Thanks in advance! |
'purple pixie' is a small grower that gets 2.5-3' tall and 4-5' wide that looks just like the 'pizzaz' but slightly more compact. |

I'm new to this site, just today. I too am researching this plant/shrub. I am totally confused. I would like some clarification as to which of these shrubs is the lowest growing?? |

At Laurier, we are advocates for change in not only the business curriculum, but in business practice, and we are working to influence the latter through our work in the former - to lead with curriculum change in order to positively influence the next generation of managers and executives.
Sustainability ideas are integrated into the MBA curriculum in two ways; first, we incorporate social and environmental issues into our core functional courses, such as Strategy, Marketing, Operations, Human Resources, Finance, Economics, and Accounting, as well as into electives such as a Supply Chain Management, Strategic Brand Management, Leadership, Contemporary Issues, and International Strategy. Second, we offer two focused elective courses, one on Environmental Management Systems and another on Strategy and Sustainability. In these, we hold environmental and social issues as the main frame for determining key business drivers, then we look at the strategic implications of that, and the change management issues that arise, beginning with mindset change and flowing through to shifting systems and processes. All of the 'tools' that students learn in the traditional courses are still applicable; we just work to bring other contextual drivers into the discussion, and shift the way the tools are applied.
We work to bridge from the classroom to real world issues through consulting and research projects, and especially through our Centre for Community Service Learning. Students are engaged in community service as part of the curriculum, through three main approaches: placement-based, project-based, or co-curricular service learning, in which an intensive service activity with structured reflection.
Many of our placements and projects are in social and environmental not-for-profit organizations. Many MBA students undertake independent research studies with faculty, as part of larger projects organized under our several research centres, particularly the Centre for Responsible Organizations and the Centre for the Study of Nascent Entrepreneurship and the eXploitation of Technology (NeXt).
Laurier Academic Plan 2010-2015.
Following an inclusive development process, the President's Office in spring 2010 released the Laurier Academic Plan 2010-2015, a high level guiding document that recognizes the strengths and unique characteristics Laurier boasts as an institution, while identifying the areas which Laurier will continue to emphasize and initiate focus. The following predominant topics, referred to in the Academic Plan as core principles and domains, are directly related to sustainability.
• Sustainability
• Environment
• Diversity
• Justice
• Social and cultural analysis
• Cultural and artistic production
Specifically on sustainability:
"The most complex questions involve challenges related to cultural, economic, environmental, and social sustainability. Inherent in sustainable systems is the need to work toward equitable distribution of opportunities, benefits and decision-making. Sustainable development occurs when we improve the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems. At Laurier, we focus on sustainability from all perspectives across our academic and professional programs. Achieving global sustainability requires multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to address changing relationships among individuals, societies, organizations, resources, ecologies, businesses, technologies and development."
Action to support the plan:
A university-wide Sustainability Office was created in January of 2010
(see http://www.wlu.ca/homepage.php?grp_id=12304).
A group of our MBA students facilitated the drafting of the guiding vision, mission, and objectives of the sustainability office as follows:
Transform Laurier into an institution that integrates sustainability practices into all areas of the university and to inspire, educate, and prepare students, faculty, and staff to engage others in the same practices.
Create and foster a culture of sustainability by engaging, promoting and coordinating sustainability efforts of all stakeholders and develop an environmentally proactive Laurier community.
* To create and advance partnerships in the University and the greater community to share, cultivate and form sustainable programs.
* To support the development of academic programs and research at Laurier related to proactive sustainability.
* To develop and support policies and practices that contribute to sustainable operations and resource utilization at Laurier.
* To organize events and utilize communication channels to increase awareness and convey the mission of the Sustainability Office.
* To consider the pillars of sustainability; economic, social, cultural and environmental in all decision making processes.
In 2010, Laurier participated in the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS), a campus sustainability assessment framework developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). STARS rates a university's progress towards sustainability based on the sum of a number of weighted indicators. These indicators are based on 4 major categories:
1. Education and research
2. Operations (ex. energy consumption, transportation options, waste management, etc.)
3. Planning, administration and engagement (ex. human resources, investment, etc.)
4. Innovation
Laurier achieved a Bronze rating in its first year of the Sustainability Office operation, and we have used the system to set improvement goals going forward. As part of the assessment, Business school faculty participating in drafting definitions and objectives for research and teaching relating to sustainability:
Sustainability Research: concerns the scientific analysis, communication and performance of how to create and maintain conditions that enable societies to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability research considers the ecological, economic, social, and cultural factors and interconnections necessary for creating conditions that are at once manageable, viable, and equitable. As such, it is connected to Laurier's multi-campus, multi-disciplinary environment, core values and guiding principles through such topics as: social/environmental justice, ecological resilience, equity, diversity, human and labour rights, economic prosperity, land-use planning, resource management, socially-engaged cultural and artistic production, and health and well-being.
Sustainability Education:
The goal of sustainability education at Laurier is to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to improve the quality of human life within the carrying capacity of supporting ecosystems. The Laurier Sustainability Office has compiled a listing for students of all sustainability-focused and sustainability-related courses on campus.
Community Service Learning:
Community Service-Learning is an educational approach that provides students the opportunity to gain valuable real-life learning experiences while providing a service to local community organizations.
Goals, measures, and improvement plans are in place to make university operations more sustainable.
1. Campus Greenspace: Tree Resource Analysis
The Grounds Division of Physical Resources is in the process of collecting field data such as plant taxonomy, dimensions, environmental conditions, location, and photo documentation of each tree on campus. Tree health, diversity, maintenance requirements, and pest/disease problems are also highlighted. The collected data will be analyzed by software and organized into a digital database that will be able to generate information about species composition and available planting space. This initiative will help provide an understanding of the existing urban forest and is an excellent way to evaluate the benefits of campus trees in terms of how they affect the University's carbon footprint and overall environment.
2. Construction:
Laurier has just opened its first two LEED Certified (Silver) buildings, the Research and Academic Centre - West and East, at the Brantford campus.
- High recycled and regional content in construction materials
- Low VOC interior materials
- Energy efficient design and construction - 25% to 33% more efficient than standard building
- Reduced indoor water use by over 30%.
- Water cistern for use of roof water for irrigation purposes
- Construction Waste Diversion - divert over 90% of construction waste from landfill and sent it for recycling or reuse
- Carpooling parking spots and bicycle racks installed to reduce reliance on cars
3. Energy
Energy Management Plan
In December 2009, the University developed a comprehensive Energy Management Plan, with a focus on reducing the energy and resource use of campus buildings and exploring opportunities for renewable energy. The Plan outlines goals, utility monitoring, energy management, renewable energy, and related incentive programs in order to benefit the University both financially and environmentally.
Several other campus sustainability initiatives are underway in the areas of Food, Procurement, Transportation, Waste, and Water.

Using ethical and legal means in the process of gathering, analyzing and using publicly available data.
Used the case on Toyota's Hybrid Car to discuss social responsibility product development and branding. Used the article "Has Social Responsibility Reached the Tipping Point?" to aid in the discussion.
There is a field project by students involved conducting research on behalf of a local not for profit organization. This course usually involves a minimum of 2-3 market research projects conducted for non-profit organizations.
The topic of ethics in relation to marketing strategy is covered.
There is a focus on understanding the importance of CSR, with a 3- hour class devoted to the subject.
The group "change project" takes students in to the not-for-profit community in order to provide a research report to the NFP organization.

Elisete By Shavana Wong Published March 16, 2007 LongingIMP 6202256 ISRAEL
At first listen, Elisete's second release, Longing (Gaagua'), is a samba- and jazz-fused collection of easy listening songs. It seems like perfect background music for slow nights sipping drinks at a café, or an easy life on sunny beaches. Elisete, born in Brazil, has been living in Israel since 1991. She has picked up the Hebrew language and combined it with Portuguese, which blend gives her music its own unique sound. Her work is a reflection of her experiences in Brazil and Israel, and she takes pride in not only writing the songs but being involved in the production aspects of her music as well. On Longing, Elisete croons about love, overcoming depression and making oneself happy. Her vocals are strong and smooth, mixing well with piano and various string instruments. The album emits good vibes and lots of ever-present Brazilian rhythm. File this one under smooth groovin' tunes.

2013 and earlier-Acura MDX Prices Paid and Buying Experience
lccalvert_1999 Posts: 63I just posted this in the lease section, but figured I'd post here also. Picked up a 2012 MDX Tech this evening for $40,350 (that includes destination). The dealer also threw in Running Boards, All Weather Mats and four free oil changes.
Felt like I got a great deal.
Pohanka Acura in No. VA. -
kalants Posts: 6$40,371 includes destination but not the dealer processing fee. This was still a much better deal by more than $2K in the NYC area. The other dealers kept insisting that this must be the base model and not the Tech when I asked them to beat the quote.
Regardless, I love this baby - can't wait to take it on a real road trip! -

hotch41 Posts: 61
schnides Posts: 3I think your post is hogwash. When people continually post misleading and incorrect information it makes it more difficult to purchase a car. Every Acura dealer I have talked to along with the information I have acquired says you cannot purchase a New 2012 MDX Advance for $46000. Please post a copy of your purchase agreement as proof of your claim. You can black out any personal information. I could say I bought one for $42000, would that make it true? True Car and Edmunds use actual transaction prices, not supposed prices posted on chat boards. Why should we believe you over actual transaction prices?
billy3554 Posts: 148Come on, Edmunds and TrueCar provide average prices paid. Edmunds, unlike TrueCar, is very upfront about this. Truth is anyone paying average is leaving money on the table. I know I can pick up an MDX Advance for $47,000 with no negotiating. Not that much of a stretch to go to $46,000. If you think TrueCar is the best price, go for it. The money left on the table will be there for the rest of us to pick up. Car dealers just love people who buy at TrueCar.
lccalvert_1999 Posts: 63I agree 100%. True car prices used to be more market accurate. The other thing to remember is pricing is dealer specific. I was shopping for a Pilot EXL last week (ended up with the MDX), but found variances of $1500 between dealers that were 10 miles apart.
One said I can't sell you the car for that price, no way. The other said sure...
It depends on how many cars they sell each month, what is sitting on the lot, etc. -
cozzie23 Posts: 6I purchased my MDX+Advance no entertainment for $45100 before TTL. I got a 7yr/100000 from Acura Care $1900. and a free maintenance package. @ .9% financing for 60 months. I never post on blogs but in my research in looking for a new car I came across this one. Im sure there are some factors, in who allows the price to get this low. but I dealt with one small Acura dealership and two very large Acura dealerships in my negotiations over a course of 4 days. I had them competing with each other. One manager was telling me that when I was at $46000 "This is it all were getting is what is already on order and what we have in the lot" I told him that's nice but I want my car for $45000. I was in a position where I could walk out and I did, and I got lucky they called me back.
mdxer4life Posts: 1
cozzie23 Posts: 6I just purchased and advance only in Northern California. Like one person said I think it depends on the specific dealer. I guess the salesperson told me if wanted an entertainment it would be about $1800 more so I guess it would have been $46900 but I never inquired about Advance+Entertainment so I don't really know. When I purchase my car all the dealerships that I delt with had 2-3 same color of the car I wanted in their stock. So I put them against each other.

gooderdeal12 Posts: 1
schnides Posts: 3Post the contract, black out anything you feel needs to be blacked out, because I still don't believe it. I've been working like a dog to get anywhere close to that price. Invoice is $49567 - $1500 incentive, if they give me all the holdback it would be $47000ish. The dealer showed me all this. Why would someone sell it for $45100? I'm getting very frustrated.
billy3554 Posts: 148Or Norris Acura in Maryland. Norris has an outstanding internet sales person. Of note, in Maryland there is less of a "documentation" fee issue than in Virginia. Virginia dealers try for $399 while Maryland goes for $200. Small difference in the long term but, hey, a dollar is a dollar.

'Dumb Ways to Die' video goes viral
Comment on this storySydney - A catchy tune, some cute animated figures and a giggle at blood on the train tracks has delivered almost 12 million YouTube hits for an Australian passenger safety message called Dumb Ways to Die.
"It's distracting. It's wonderful. We're thrilled. It's been a huge hit for us," Melbourne's Metro Trains spokeswoman Leah Waymark said Wednesday. "Getting young people thinking perhaps thinking twice before they do something dumb, that's a great outcome."
John Mescall, creative director at advertising agency McCann Worldgroup's Melbourne office, said the key to producing the nation's fastest-trending internet hit ever was sneaking up on those the safety message was intended to reach.
"If it looks and smells and tastes like an ad, it won't get shared," he said. "You need a good title. Dumb Ways to Die! Who wouldn't click on that? If we'd called it How to Behave Around Trains, you'd be looking at just 100 000 shares."
Waymark, who commissioned the piece, said humour was the way to go because "young people often see themselves as being indestructible so shock images of body bags don't work."
Mescall put the rip-roaring success down to breaking the taboo and being funny about death.
"I think a part of us needs to do that," he said. "It's like laughing at the thing that's hiding in the corner that's going to get us all in the end." - Sapa-dpa

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest is still open, let us take care that none of you should seem to have failed to reach it. | 1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. |
2 For indeed the good news came to us just as to them; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. | 2 For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. |
3 For we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "As in my anger I swore, "They shall not enter my rest,' " though his works were finished at the foundation of the world. | 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' " And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. |
4 For in one place it speaks about the seventh day as follows, "And God rested on the seventh day from all his works." | 4 For somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "And on the seventh day God rested from all his work." |
5 And again in this place it says, "They shall not enter my rest." | 5 And again in the passage above he says, "They shall never enter my rest." |
6 Since therefore it remains open for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, | 6 It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience. |
7 again he sets a certain day—"today"—saying through David much later, in the words already quoted, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." | 7 Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today, when a long time later he spoke through David, as was said before: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." |
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not speak later about another day. | 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. |
9 So then, a sabbath rest still remains for the people of God; | 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; |
10 for those who enter God's rest also cease from their labors as God did from his. | 10 for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from his. |
11 Let us therefore make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall through such disobedience as theirs. | 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience. |
12 Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. | 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. |
13 And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account. | 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. |
14 Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. | 14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. |
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. | 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. |
16 Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. | 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. |

Has anybody ever watched the show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel? DH and I watched it last night for the first time and OMG! The places he travels and the things he eats!
It's kinda like a car wreck on the expressway how you just can't look away! We watched the Phillipines episode last night. I think that it's first run is on Monday nights at 9 PM EST. Next week is Morocco.
Here's a link to the schedule. It is some interesting TV.
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern
Mr. iwbm cooks three months out of the year. I don't need to see it on TV.
They call me "Nana"
I watched it one time. That was pretty much all I could take. He was in Asia like maybe Thailand or near-there-abouts and the stuff he ate just made me wretch. I can't watch it, it sort of reminds of Fear Factor show. I know some people in that part of the world would consider a Twinkie to be horrible food, but watching someone eat slugs or worms just does me in...
To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.
Another reason it pays to be an American. If we felt so inclined, we need look no further than within our own borders for food preparation methods and ingredients that would turn our collective "civilized" stomachs. Far and away, this culture has us very sheltered in that department (one of those cases when "ignorance is bliss" couldn't be more on the level for the vast majority of us).

The UK's first designated course offering students the chance to train as professional translators in any language has been launched at the University.
The University's new MA in Translation Studies, available in the School of European Studies, offers students the chance to gain profession translation skills applicable to any source and to any target language.
The course is aimed at students seeking a career as a translator or for those interested in the study of translation as a basis from which to pursue a PhD in such disciplines as translation studies, comparative literature, cultural studies or history.
Training also prepares students for careers in other language-related professions, including journalism, public relations or language teaching.
Professor Alexis Nuselovici, School of European Studies, who led the development of the new course said: "The University's new MA in Translation Studies is the first in the UK to offer students the chance to gain professional translation skills in any language.
"What's unique about this new course is the fact that it offers complete freedom to choose to translate from any language into any language."
The new one-year MA course, available from September 2009, comes as the European Union's Directorate-General for Translation warned of a potential gap in the number of professional translators.
Professor Nuselovici added: "The European Union's Directorate-General for Translation has already warned that as a result of impending retirements and further expansion of the European Union, there will be a growing need for professional translators to service the need.
"The increasing movement of people, especially within the European Union, has seen demand for professional translation services increase. We hope that the freedom that the course offers students to gain professional translation skills in and from any language will help meet this gap."
Anyone interested in applying to study the new MA in Translation Studies can gain more information by contacting the School of European Studies on 029 208 74889 or by e-mailing: email@example.com.

The March 28 editorial ("The contraceptive requirement") is a good example of how proponents of the Obamacare contraceptive mandate have made no serious effort to understand the point of view of opponents.
It is terribly imprecise to suggest that opponents are saying, in effect, "I object to the mandate because my religious beliefs disagree with it." Far more precisely they are saying, "I object because it compels me to perform an action that I believe to be profoundly sinful (or immoral)."
A decent society doesn't compel its citizens to perform what they honestly – even if mistakenly – believe to be an immoral action. That's why we have traditionally allowed persons to claim conscientious objector status in wartime. It's not that we agreed with them that the war in question (let's say World War II) was immoral. It's that we didn't want to compel anybody to do what he honestly, even though erroneously, believed to be a wicked deed. So high a regard did we Americans used to have of the importance of conscience.
