you are not configuring gstreamer as much as system properties which

2008 Infiniti M35
wanted to start a thread where people could post information about next year's model. Last year we heard lots of rumors about Infiniti trademarking M37, which suggests that rather than just putting the VQ engine from the G into next year's M, they may put in a larger version. Also, Infiniti continues to take hits over gas mileage. Maybe 08 will be the year that we finally get a six speed automatic and other refinements to help mpg while maintaining performance.
bruceomega Posts: 250pearl,
Regarding "get a six speed automatic and other refinements to help mpg while maintaining performance", I don't disagree with improved mileage, and that could also lead to reduced engine revs at highway speeds.
But in my own expereince with BMWs, I found you get improved performance with a 6 speed versus 5 speed automatic, at least in responsiveness.
Bruce -
pearl Posts: 336Bruce, I agree. The benefit of a six speed is that it gives you high enough gears (numerically) to enable quick acceleration, but then sixth gear is low enough (overdrive) to provide lower rpms for highway cruising and better mpg. So far, Infiniti seems to have chosen to use a high (numerically) rear axle ratio, AND a five speed auto trans with high numerical gears, meaning you get lots of torque multiplication for acceleration in just about any gear including fifth - the drawback is that you end up cruising at something like 3000 rpm at 70, when most of the competition is 2500 or less. A six speed should provide better mpg but not hurt lower gear acceleration ((there is a lot more to this subject, but all else equal, what I just wrote is true)).
pearl Posts: 336While I don't think there has been anything official put out yet, Infiniti replaced the 3.5L VQ engine in the G this year with an improved version that puts out more horsepower and is slightly more fuel efficient. Many people on these boards wondered why they didn't also put it into the 07 M? We don't know, but some months back, someone posted that they had learned that Infiniti had trademarked the designator "M37", so of course the speculation started that they would use an engine of this displacement in the 08 M. Obviously, none of us know yet; however, the competition is starting to run away from Infiniti in terms of gas mileage, power and more advanced auto transmissions, so it seems at least possible that we will see some changes for 08.
kals Posts: 4I don't see how the new V6 in the 07 G is going to make that much of a difference in performance and fuel economy in the M. What the wonderful VQ series V6 engine lacks is low end torque. Does anyone think Infiniti might go to a CVT transmission like Nissan has in the Altima. This would offer better performance and economy.
james27 Posts: 433No idea on the cvt. They do seem to be able to scale up the design to handle more power than they used to, but there seems to be a limitation when it comes to all-wheel drive. I know that Audi offered it, but only on their front-wheel drive models. Haven't followed it close enough to know if they've changed, or even if it is still available. They do offer this transmission on the 270HP 3.5L in the ALtima.
buddybrad Posts: 36I don't think adding a CVT tranny is instant improved gas milage. It all depends how the engineers "set it up" like with final drive ratios on conventional transmissions. The idea of a CVT on an M doesn't excite me. Considering Lexus is up to an 8 speed auto tranny, Infiniti is a few behind.
art234 Posts: 103I have a 2006 M35X and the problem is the gearing. No high powered car should be turning 2500 RPM at 60 MPH in the highest gear, or 2800 RPM at 70. Adding one or two longer gears would address this issue. RPM's should typically be 1500-1700 at 60, and remain under 2000 at 70. I believe the difference in fuel economy would be substantial, without sacrificing performance.
Regarding CVT's, I have experience with 2 CVT's. I had a 2003 Murano with the first gen CVT, and I also have a 2006 Lexus RX400h which has the Toyota CVT. The main advantage of the CVT is that it "locks up" at much lower speeds than a conventional transmission. I believe the Murano's torque converter locked up as slow as 10 MPH, while a typical multi gear tranny does so above 30-35 MPH.
The M's fuel economy is embarrassing for such a technologically advanced vehicle. -
buddybrad Posts: 36You're right, the M35 and probably the M45 should have much better gas mileage. I believe they could achieve it by tweaking the computer and changing out the final drive ratio to something higher. 5 speeds with the 5th being overdrive is easy to get 2,000 rpm at 60 mph out of.
I have a '71 Buick with 350 4bbl and 3-speed transmission and I can get in the high teens cruising at 70 mph. It has a 3.08 rear end. -
james27 Posts: 433I get in the low 20's on my M35x at a steady 70-75 or so using the cruise on an interstate. I average around 19 or so in my 40 mile commute unless the traffic backs up. The traffic is often running between 70 and 80. The car could get probably considerably higher mileage if the top gear was higher. Someone else mentioned running the transmission in Manual mode which can help. They have the transmission programmed to downshift at the slightest provocation. Putting it in M, means that you control that. Fine on an interstate, but maybe not for stop and go traffic. Try it and see what you think.
pat Posts: 10,421Some posts have been moved to a more appropriate discussion. Here's the link: blov8r, "M35/M45 and Bluetooth" #147, 4 Mar 2007 9:16 am. Let's continue there.
bruceomega Posts: 250I was browsing through the latest issues of the car mags over the weekend. In one of the write-ups on the new G series coupe, it mentioned the 3.7 liter V-6 engine would find its way into the M35.
Has anyone heard anything further about upgrading the engine in the M35, perhaps for the 2008 model year? If so, any idea whether Infiniti will offer a 6-speed automatic?
Bruce -
ocim Posts: 45I saw in Road and Track magazine that the new 2008 G coupe will have the 3.7 liter engine, however I did not see anywhere that it will carry over to the M. Has anyone else heard anything? I test drove a 2007 M35X a while back and I liked it a lot. Although, I wouldn't mind a little more power. I did not spend any time on the highway with the car so I am greatly concerned about what I hear from many posts that the car revs too high in 5th (over 3000 rpm at 70MPH. This is unacceptable. My Honda Pilot with 240 horsepower revs around 2200 at 80MPH. I used to have a 1991 Honda Prelude that revved high in 5th. The noise on a trip from Pittsburgh to Chicago (8hrs) would beat me up so much that I finally got rid of the car for this reason. The Infiniti is supposed to be a luxury car in addition to being a sport sedan. If a 50K luxury car can't provide a similar level of comfort on a long trip as my pilot does I don't want it. So I hope they change the engine and do something with the 5th gear, perhaps add an extra one. Infiniti I hope you are listening!!!
bruceomega Posts: 250
towerman Posts: 12I'm in the throws of finalizing purchase of my M35 sport and I've been asking everybody when the 2008 will arrive and what's new. I'm pretty sure the engine will stay the same and only minor "feature" options will arrive. For instance, only XM radio (not Sirius) will be installed and it will be standard equipment. I understand 2009 will bring a new body and the 3.7L engine will come in the M35 (M37?). My question is when will 2008's really arrive?
blov8r Posts: 567I would thoroughly expect that engine to be in the M as well as the G ... simple economics. Why have two different engines (and everything that goes along with them) in two lines of the same breed? While I love horsepower and torque, I'd be just as happy with a 5th or 6th gear to lower the hiway revs and conserve fuel without sacrificing performance.
Bart :shades: -
ghstudio Posts: 970if you are right about the changes coming in the 2009 model, then you should be asking about when the 2009's will become available. A 2008 M with the same engine and transmission will be a non player in the market and the 2009's will be announced VERY early when Nissan realizes their mistake.
towerman Posts: 12
ghstudio Posts: 970The car doesn't need more aggressive styling and new wheels....it needs a more powerful engine and a new transmission. Sounds like Infiniti is going to try to keep the M the same year to year with the usual nothing worthwhile changes....a new taillight, new wheels.
That won't work for me...if that's all they do, then when my lease is up, I'll be in some other car for the next lesae -
bruceomega Posts: 250
blov8r Posts: 567For the two-plus years this M has been on the market the biggest complaint that has been posted over and over again is the transmission ... need for a 5th, even 6th gear. There's plenty of power in this 2-ton car to push it along with the rest of the competition but the tranny lacks a highway "overdrive" gear to decrease the high speed rpm's and improve fuel economy.
By way of comparison, I just rented a 36' RV for a weekend with a Ford V-10 ... it had an OD gear and at 65 mph was turning a mere 2500 rpm. Bart -
tayl0rd Posts: 1,938But was it the diesel or the gas V10? And the M does have a 5th gear, doesn't it? :confuse:
To the guy that said it needs more power, I don't think I've read a single post that it was underpowered in V6 or V8 form; though, the V8 could use some more juice simply for appearances. The 550i and E550 have 360HP and 382HP, respectively. But the M45 is still competitive against the A6 4.2. -
bruceomega Posts: 250An AWD V-8 would be very interesting, and broaden the playing field.
I've been looking at the new 535Xi, and an M45x would be a more attractive alternative to me than the M35x.
Does the M45 with auto have the same issue some have raised with the M35 auto regarding high engine revs at highway speed?
Bruce -
plina Posts: 33Infiniti has to do something for 2008 they can't have a G sedan and G coupe with mre horsepower than the M35/45.
I mileage in NYC is a dismal 9 MPG and at $3.59 A gallon they are in deep trouble with me. MY lease is up in 4/08 and I better see some changes, this is my 4th Infiniti and I dealt with the bad mileage when it was around 2 bucks a gallon I didn't care but when I spend $70 for a full tank and only get 200 miles the buck stops here.
They will sell few M's if they don't improve the horsepower and mileage, I want a 7 speed tranny.

Great Hunt! - 07/29/2013 10:26:04 Joe Griner from St. Petersburg
I recently completed a plains game hunt with Hartzview Safaris and I couldn't have picked a better outfitter or personal hunter. Jacques Spamer told me at the begining of our hunt that he would challenge me to get the best animals I possibly could and he did! It was absolutely the best hunt I have ever experienced. We harvested several record book animals and the overall quality of all of the animals we saw was outstanding.
Every detail of the hunt and the accommodations was fantastic. Jacques is a very knowledgeable and meticulous PH. It was a pleasure hunting with him. I strongly recommend Hartzview Safaris for anyone considering a hunt in Africa. I have already begun planning a return trip to hunt with Jacques.
Perfect Safari - 05/23/2013 19:33:45 Stan and Elisa Stamey from Dalton, GA, US
PH Jacques Spamer with Hartzview and his excellent team went the extra mile to provide us with a safari of a lifetime. I would like to point out that PH Ruan, who works with Jacques also assisted on our safari. We were also very pleased with his professionalism and skill, as we were with Jacques. The accomodations were very nice indeed, as was the catering. They create an atmosphere of friendship. We harvested top quality trophies in every species we hunted. The answer is yes, Hartzview Safaries will be in charge of our future African adventures. They offer a wide range of trophies, including dangerous game.
We are very much looking forward to our next safari with PH Spamer and PH Ruan.

Africa 2012 at Hartzview - 11/29/2012 14:45:07 Jeff Fuze from Ft. Wayne, IN USA
I had a fantastic hunt with Jacques June/July of 2012. The hunt, accomodations, food etc. was first class. The animals were plentiful and of superior quality.
We came with a group of 13 and only three woman in the group. My wife was one of them and she had a fabulous time, hunting the first animals of her lifetime. If your considering taking your wife, this is the place to go. My wife is very particular and she really enjoyed Hartzview and Jacques personal service.
The best vacation of our Life!
Can't wait to go back!

Unbelievable Trip! - 11/15/2012 23:44:54 Tim & Paula Kellenberger from Sabetha Kansas
This was the first trip to South Africa for Paula and me and I can assure you it wil not be the last. Jacques and the rest of the staff at Hartview went above and beyond to make our hunt and stay at the ranch the best it could be. The diversity and availability of game on the ranch made every day an adventure. We are already planning our next trip to Hartview! The accomodations at the ranch were outstanding and the service by the staff went way beyond our expectations. My only regret on the trip was that I waited so long to go before now!

Power Consumption
We are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into an AC wall socket).
One of the advantages of the two-chip solution from Intel is a reduction in power consumption. The Core i5 661 is a 32nm CPU with a 45nm GPU with a TDP of only 87Watts. This reduced power draw helps the Clarkdale/H55 combo to sip power even under full load. The ASRock H55M Pro does quite well even when overclocked. However, adding in extra cards will increase this draw as you would expect.
Heat Generation
As a new measure, we are now monitoring the heat generation from the key components on the motherboards, this being the Northbridge, Southbridge (if it contains one) as well as the Mosfets around the CPU. The results are recorded at idle and load during the power consumption tests.
Here we see something interesting, but not unexpected. The heat produced from the H55 chipset on the H55M Pro is light even when overclocked. However, when you drop in an external GPU the heat increases. Due to the layout of the board, the heatsink gets saturated by the heat of a GPU like the GTX 285.

BARON WOLMAN, the first staff photographer for Rolling Stone and one of Marin's illustrious former residents, has a fascinating new coffee-table book that chronicles his three remarkable years with the then-fledgling rock bible.
Many of the photos in "Every Picture Tells a Story: The Rolling Stone Years" (Omnibus Press, $60, www.therollingstoneyears.com) are iconic and some have never been seen before. But what really sets this 176-page book apart are the tales Wolman tells about his encounters with Jerry Garcia and Janis Joplin and all the other rock 'n' roll characters he photographed between 1967 and 1970 — a brief window in time when the rock industry was still in its infancy and he had the kind of freewheeling access unheard of today.
As it happens, Wolman got the idea for the book after showing his photos in an exhibit at the College of Marin.
"It was after that that I began to understand that these pictures meant something to somebody," he said speaking from Santa Fe, N.M., where he lives now. "It isn't that they care about the pictures themselves as much as the pictures take them on a journey backwards to a time that really meant a lot to them. They tell me things like, 'I met my husband at a Janis Joplin concert,' and on and on like that. They identify the musicians with important moments in their lives. And the pictures help them to recall some of that."
In the spring of 1967, at a pop music seminar at Mills College in Oakland that included Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, Wolman agreed to become the magazine's chief photographer.
His first story for the debut issue, in October 1967, was a photo spread on the Grateful Dead in the aftermath of the band's notorious Haight Ashbury pot bust.
Wolman shot them posting bail, holding what he remembers as a "delightful" press conference at which they threatened to pelt reporters with whipped cream, and finally posing crazily on the steps of their legendary Victorian at 710 Ashbury Street, flipping birds and flashing guns.
"I was scared of them when I did that first assignment for Rolling Stone," he confessed. "I really didn't know much about them at the time, and so I didn't know what was going on, truthfully. But I thought it was kind of cool the way they threatened the media with whipped cream if they asked any stupid questions. You see that big bowl of whipped cream there in the photo. They were saying, 'The first media guy to ask a stupid question gets whipped cream in his face.' "
Two years later, the magazine ran a cover story on the Dead. This was before their move to Marin, when they were San Francisco's hometown heroes. This time, Wolman had the luxury of shooting them individually, Avedon-style, in his studio in the Haight.
When Jerry Garcia showed up, he posed smiling, holding up his open right hand. Wolman titled the shot "Jerry Waving." But when he looked at the picture as it began to appear in the developer, he noticed that half of Garcia's middle finger was missing.
"I kept thinking, how did he do that?" Wolman recalled. "How did he make it look like he made it look. It was very bizarre."
Only later did he learn that the guitarist's finger had been chopped off by his older brother in a childhood accident, and this was the first time he'd shown it so publicly.
"I asked around and as far as I could tell, he hid it most of the time," Wolman recalled. "He kind of folded it under so it wasn't obvious. I just think on that day, for some reason, he decided he was going to show it."
For me, some of the most fascinating stories are the ones about Janis Joplin, who lived in a wood-shingled, creekside house in Larkspur's Baltimore Canyon. Understandably, the animated blues belter was one of his favorite subjects.
"I took a lot of photos of Janis in her bedroom, on her bed," he writes.
That intimacy leads to a question that Wolman gets all too frequently: Did you sleep with Janis Joplin? He has a pat answer he always gives, in two ways: What do you think? Or, What do you think?
"Even after people read that, they still ask me," he sighed. "They say, 'What's the deal?' They figure now they can ask me, and I'll tell them."
As part of the hippie migration to Marin, Wolman moved to Mill Valley in 1972, where he remained for nearly two decades. He left Rolling Stone to start Rags, a hip, but short-lived fashion magazine. And he was briefly a partner in the former Cavallo, a boutique in downtown Mill Valley.
He's done a lot of extraordinary things in his career, but he'll be remembered primarily for the photos he took during those three seminal years at Rolling Stone. And now he's given us the stories that go with them.
"This book came about because I am constantly asked to tell stories about those pictures," he said. "People are enthralled when I tell them the stories behind the pictures. The stories are the things that people really care about."

Detroit City, Michigan State Records
In 2010, the city had a population of 713,777 and ranked as the 18th most populous city in the United States. The name Detroit sometimes refers to the Metro Detroit area with a population of 4,296,250 for the six-county Metropolitan Statistical Area, the United States' eleventh-largest, and a population of 5,218,852 for the nine-county Combined Statistical Area as of the 2010 Census. The Detroit–Windsor area, a critical commercial link straddling the Canada–U.S. border, has a total population of about 5,700,000.
Known as the world's traditional automotive center, 'Detroit' is a metonym for the American automobile industry and an important source of popular music legacies celebrated by the city's two familiar nicknames, the Motor City and Motown. Other nicknames arose in the 20th century, including City of Champions beginning in the 1930s for its successes in individual and team sport, The D, D-Town, Hockeytown (a trademark owned by the city's NHL club, the Red Wings), Rock City (after the Kiss song 'Detroit Rock City'), and The 313 (its telephone area code) Detroit became known as the 'great arsenal of democracy' for its support of the U.S. role among the Allied powers during World War II.

I can safely say that my style has not changed that much. I was a kid who always wore jeans and tried to put on a cool top with it. I really gravitated to big, flowy skirts and the platform shoes. I probably dont go quite as flowy as I did back then, though.
What rumors were people spreading about you then? Now?
I cant think of any back then. Lately I keep hearing about how Ive set up all these people with each other and, like, Im some sort of matchmaker. It was also rumored that I was trying to get the government to legislate the amount of toilet tissue we could use. Actually, it was part of a skit it wasnt even remotely serious!
What nicknames did you have back then? Now?
On occasion I would get called Bird Legs. I can't think of any now.
What were your hobbies back then? Now?
I loved music and sports summer sports like water-skiing and I was a big runner. I also loved twirling! I thought it was fun. Now, I probably dont twirl as much anymore, but I still love water-skiing, riding my bike, and running, and clearly I love my music. Thats my favorite thing.
What did you worry about back then? Now?
I think for the most part I worried about whether a certain boy liked me, or whether I was going to be asked to do things with the popular group. You know, I wasnt so worried about getting into college because my grades were good and, for the most part, most of the kids from where I grew up went to the state school. Now, I worry about my 1-year-old making sure that he knows that hes loved. I definitely worry about the state of the world and the planet.
Who was your idol back then? Now?
My idol back then was probably my older sister, whos five years older than me, and she was uber-cool. She had long, straight hair, looked like Ali McGraw, and was just totally everything I wanted to be as a kid. Id have to say my idol now is my mom. I think she's just an unbelievable woman.
Who was your celebrity crush? Now?
I don't remember my crushes back then. But, it's George Clooney now. Oh, and the kid from Juno, Michael Cera.
What advice did your parents give you when you were 17? Now?
They told me to go to college to get a degree to fall back on if that whole big music thing didnt work out. And, so, I got my teaching degree.
Letter to my 17-year-old self:
Dear Sheryl,
Have more fun and don't take things so seriously!
Sheryl is currently on tour promoting her album, Detours. She also has a new clothing line, Bootheel Trading Co., which launches in late July.

The Mysterious Death of Superman
What Really Happened?
Leonore and three other friends were guests in Reeves' home on the night of his death. In the movie, they had been sitting quietly on the couch, drinking and listening to Reeves playing his guitar and singing a tune in Spanish. After Leonore complained that song was boring her, Reeves reportedly told them he was tired and he retired to his bedroom. That was the last time he was seen alive.
By the time the police were notified, 45 minutes had passed since Leonore and her guests claimed they heard the shot around 1:59 a.m. When the police arrived, Reeves was lying naked on his bed, dead of a single gunshot wound to the right temple. The coroner who did the official inquest was quick to rule it a suicide, but questions immediately arose. Evidence collected at the scene and observations of the surroundings suggested other probable causes of death.
Reeves' mother, Helen Bessolo, arrived in Los Angeles and quickly commissioned her own investigation. Although an elaborate funeral was held for Reeves and was well-attended by Hollywood's finest, his body would not be cremated for another three years while the investigation was ongoing. Helen hired a detective from the Nick Harris Detective Agency, a young operative named Milo Speriglio, to conduct an investigation, thereby postponing the cremation of the body for three years. However, Reeves' mother died before any substantial new evidence could be uncovered.
In the movie, Speriglio's name is changed to the much-easier-to-pronounce Lou Simo, who is convincingly played by Adrien Brody. Simo smells a rat, just as Speriglio did, and his investigation uncovers some glaring inconsistencies in what the official report stated: inconsistencies that suggested different conclusions. Simo is dogged in his pursuit of the real facts in the case, and what he uncovers both shocks him and nearly gets him killed.

We are putting a frameless shower door in our masters and have some questions about the height of the door. We definitely don't want it to go all the way to the ceiling. The shower is 39x55 (inside curb) with a rainshower head 84 inches from the floor. What will be a good height for the glass door/panel? Thanks so much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Mon, Jul 1, 13 at 11:49
76" should be sufficient. |
I don't know what the proper height should be but we have ours at the same height as the top of the window casing of the window next to the shower. Visually I think this looks good. |
Our glass is at 7' with an 8' ceiling. Water spashes as soon as it hits your bod, so if you have tallish people using the shower, higher is probably better than lower. -Babka |
My husband is 6 ft tall. 76 inch glass + 6 inch curb will be 82 inches from the floor. Will that be enough? |
- Posted by millworkman (email@example.com) on Wed, Jul 3, 13 at 12:55
Yes I believe so, that is what usually do. Anywhere between 72" and 76" is the norm. |
Keep in mind that height will determine how easy or hard it will be to reach the top of the panel to clean (with Windex or whatever you use.) I'm trying to decide height also knowing that I don't want to have to get out the step ladder everytime I want to clean the top of the door/panel. |
You will only need to clean it if water spatters on it. Either way, you will have to clean the glass or the floor outside the shower, if the door isn't high enough to contain the splash. Take your pick. I selected a patterned glass, so it won't show spots. -Babka |

Hi guys,
I'm really confused regarding the LIVE services on my NB1 system. Have been browsing this forum and understand that many seem to have issues getting the LIVE servies to work, however, none of the soultions I've been able to find seem to apply to me.
The thing is, picked up my Mazda 6 about one month ago and can't for the life of me get the LIVE services working.
Goin into Services on my unit I have 3 options, Speed cameras, Traffic and Map corrections. Opening up Traffic I am able to get some sort of informations in regards to construction work etc. but traffic information is very inaccurate or not working at all.
From what I understand there should be a trial period of the live servces included with the car?
I also have connected my phone via Bluetooth (Samsung Galaxy S3), phone and audio works fine. I have enabled Bluetooth tethering, nut going into "Network" shows me that the phone is not connected, get no bars, no IMIE info etc. it's all blank.
I have really tried finding information on how to get this up and running but to no success.
Any help is much appreciated!
it seems like there is no Live services in DK, NO and SE. Or - at least I was told by TomTom CS that Mazda DK has no Live subscription with TomTom for their cars. Renault for example has ..
Just curious, the reason why LIVE services are not available for Mazda 6 in certain countries (like the US) is technical or because of "business reasons or regulations"?
Is there any hope we could have LIVE services available in the US some day?
Thank you
09-12-2013 05:36 PM - edited 09-12-2013 05:39 PM
Not sure if this is of any help, but I also have a Mazda 6 for around four months now.
As you say, there is a four month free trial period for the LIVE services, after which you need to take out an annual subscription for £55.
My LIVE trial ran out recently and I successfully renewed my subscription using TomTom Home. However, after the subscription had been accepted, I was unable to get LIVE services working, despite following the instructions supplied and having also updated the softwre to the latest version.
I queried this with my dealer, who was also baffled, and subsequently contacted TomTom phone support. To my pleasant surprise I got talking to a very helpful lady within a couple of minutes. I explained the problem and she suggested that I first try a soft reboot of the system by taking the SD card out and then reinserting it. If that didn't work, she suggested that I go into the system menu and do a full factory reset. The soft boot had no effect, so I went for the factory reset, despite the fact that this wipes all favourites from the memory. LIVE services were still not working after that, so I checked the NB1's network connection, which showed that the unit had failed to pick up a mobile signal, despite the fact that I was in a good signal area. I even tried driving over to our local telephone exchange, which has more mobile phone antennas on the roof than GCHQ - but still no connection.
At that point I gave up as I had to make a trip out of town. It was only when I got into the car to return from my journey that I noticed that the LIVE indicator had appeared on the screen. Why it took all that time is still a mystery to me, but since then it's been working just fine.
Just in case anyone is still reading this, do you have Information Sharing enabled? (Settings --> Status & Info --> My Information). I don't think Live Services are available until you enable this option.

PANAJI: Education minister Atanasio 'Babush' Monserrate, 49, has upgraded his educational qualification to Class 12.
In his affidavit filed before the election returning officer on Saturday, Monserrate declared that he had completed the senior secondary examination (Council of Secondary Education, Mohali) in the year 2009.
Monserrate has also declared that he owns assets worth 21 crore including 13 four-wheelers and 18 two-wheelers. In 2007, Monserrate had submitted an affidavit that he had completed his SSC from St Teresa's high school, Bandra, Mumbai. This was, however, disputed by activist Aires Rodrigues. Monserrate then told the court that he had not completed his SSC at St Teresa's but elsewhere.

I have a nice avocado tree grown from seed, mostly out of curiosity, and have pretty much fallen in love with it, as if it were a child. After moving it from water to soil, its growth has exploded, and has grown to a height of about a foot, with a few small leaves on top. I really can't keep it outside all year, because winters get really cold here, and have to keep it inside. Can I clip the main stem to keep it from growing upwards, and make it grow a bit bushier? I am a bit leery of doing this, because its a tree, and frankly, I haven't seen to many trees continue to grow after having the trunk cut. Since it is a seedling, is it okay to do this? Also, can I keep it in a pot for its lifetime? I can get bigger pots than it is currently in. Will it grow in proportion to the pot size? Or will it just keep growing and not be able to support itself, and eventually die? Any general tips are also appreciated! Thank you |

New Revised Standard (NRS) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 David said in his heart, "I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines; then Saul will despair of seeking me any longer within the borders of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand." | 1 But David thought to himself, "One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand." |
2 So David set out and went over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to King Achish son of Maoch of Gath. | 2 So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maoch king of Gath. |
3 David stayed with Achish at Gath, he and his troops, every man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, Nabal's widow. | 3 David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal. |
4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer sought for him. | 4 When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him. |
5 Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your sight, let a place be given me in one of the country towns, so that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?" | 5 Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?" |
6 So that day Achish gave him Ziklag; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day. | 6 So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since. |
7 The length of time that David lived in the country of the Philistines was one year and four months. | 7 David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months. |
8 Now David and his men went up and made raids on the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites; for these were the landed settlements from Telam on the way to Shur and on to the land of Egypt. | 8 Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur and Egypt.) |
9 David struck the land, leaving neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing, and came back to Achish. | 9 Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish. |
10 When Achish asked, "Against whom have you made a raid today?" David would say, "Against the Negeb of Judah," or "Against the Negeb of the Jerahmeelites," or, "Against the Negeb of the Kenites." | 10 When Achish asked, "Where did you go raiding today?" David would say, "Against the Negev of Judah" or "Against the Negev of Jerahmeel" or "Against the Negev of the Kenites." |
11 David left neither man nor woman alive to be brought back to Gath, thinking, "They might tell about us, and say, "David has done so and so.' " Such was his practice all the time he lived in the country of the Philistines. | 11 He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, "They might inform on us and say, 'This is what David did.' " And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory. |
12 Achish trusted David, thinking, "He has made himself utterly abhorrent to his people Israel; therefore he shall always be my servant." | 12 Achish trusted David and said to himself, "He has become so odious to his people, the Israelites, that he will be my servant forever." |

Anemia in an infant, caused when a pregnant woman produces antibodies to an antigen in her fetus's red blood cells. An Rh-negative woman (see Rh blood-group system) with an Rh-positive fetus whose ABO blood group (see ABO blood-group system) matches hers is likely to have an immune reaction after the first such pregnancy, which sensitizes her when fetal red blood cells enter her bloodstream, usually during labour. If blood typing shows incompatibility, an anti-Rh antibody injection given to the mother after the birth can destroy the fetal red cells, thus preventing trouble in a future pregnancy. If amniocentesis detects products of blood destruction, Rh-negative blood transfusions to the fetus before birth or exchange transfusion after it may save the baby's life. ABO incompatibilities are more common but usually less severe.

Undergraduate Research Fellowships
Summer Undergraduate Fellowships | Policy on Responsible Conduct in Research
Pharmacy students are encouraged to carry out undergraduate research for credit with a faculty mentor during the academic year. With a few exceptions, stipends are not available for this work. Please contact Dr. Eric Barker, the Associate Dean for Research, for information on how to arrange this type of experience. Interested in a Pharm.D./Ph. D. combined degree? Please see this webpage. 2015 Summer Undergraduate Research FellowshipsApplication Deadline: February 12, 2015The College of Pharmacy of Purdue University expects to offer a total of nine Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships under the following four categories:
General Program InformationAn undergraduate selected to participate in any of these fellowships will, by the end of the spring 2014 semester, have completed at least his/her second year of undergraduate study with an excellent record, and will be interested in seriously investigating the possibility of a career in research. Preference will be given to students who have completed their third year of undergraduate study at a U.S. institution. A stipend of $3200 plus a $800 housing allowance will be paid for ten weeks of full-time work. The anticipated starting date is May 18th and the completion date is July 24th. These dates are negotiable upon agreement of the faculty mentor and Dr. Barker. However, there will be a formal seminar during the week of July 20, 2015, in which all participating students will be expected to participate. You may not take classes during the tenure of the fellowship without special permission from both your Professor and Associate Dean Barker. Although you may receive academic credit for this program if you wish, to do so you must enroll in Summer Session and pay tuition. The successful candidates for these fellowships will have outstanding academic records and will have presented evidence of a commitment to scholarship and research beyond the requirements of the curriculum. Students who want to be considered for these fellowships in subsequent years should consider enrolling in undergraduate research for academic credit during the year to gain experience. Dr. Barker can assist you in finding a faculty mentor. These fellowships are intended for students who have a serious interest in research as a possible career (including faculty positions) and who want to explore a research environment in more depth to enable them to make an informed career choice. Students who accept a fellowship appointment are under no obligation for choice of a career path. Download, complete, and submit electronically the application form provided below. To ensure that you are considered for the fellowship/s of your choice, please mark the appropriate box/es on the application. A student may apply for all programs simultaneously, but may only hold one fellowship. Completed application forms and letters of references should be submitted electronically to Janine Mott at email@example.com by 5:00 P.M on Thursday, February 12, 2015. The selection will be made by Associate Dean Barker in consultation with the other deans and appropriate faculty, and will be based on the student's academic record, personal statement, letter/s of recommendation, and motivation and interest in research. A brief informal interview may also be required. If you have further questions, please contact Janine Mott at firstname.lastname@example.com or Dr. Eric Barker, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Other Purdue opportunities for Undergraduate ResearchOther summer undergraduate research programsOther institutions also offer summer undergraduate research programs. As we receive information about these, we will post links here. In addition, the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education (AFPE) offers several Gateway Undergraduate Research Fellowships.

LightSquared: 1, High-Precision GPS: 0
At stake is the high-precision GPS industry as we know it. If LightSquared's current proposal is approved by the FCC, it will render tens of thousands, and possibly hundreds of thousands of GPS receivers obsolete starting as early as next year. The FCC is accepting public comments until July 30 and replies to those comments until August 15. After the public comment period is closed, the FCC can render a decision at any time. Last weekend, I spoke alongside LightSquared and the Coalition to Save Our GPS in a two-hour panel discussion at the Esri Survey Summit in San Diego. Here's my report. read more

Very inexpensive for a BIG pump-top bottle. Picked one up on a whim at a local TJ's and use it on the desk at work. Decent weight (mid-weight - not too thick, not too runny) and Unscented.
More reviews by deliberateangel
I bought this years ago & it was all natural. I forgot about it & recently bought another bottle out of convenience. It says unscented but smells fruity & herbal which I disliked. It's thick & creamy. It feels moisturizing on the skin.
However, after a few weeks if daily use my hands are super dry & hurt. They feel like they have been burned! My husband felt my hands when I touched him & asked why they are so dry.
This lotion is terrible. It's very irritating to my sensitive, dry skin & full of chemicals.
This is light in texture and smells like fruit loops. The scent is very light and does not smell chemically like other unscented lotions, and to be honest is the main reason for my purchasing. I am only starting to be concerned about ingredients and I would love to have tried the old formula, so one lip pie off.

I picked this up for $3.99, thinking it might be a good, cheap alternative to the Dress Green lotion I am obsessed with but not able to afford at the moment. I use it primarily on my son who has eczema on occasion, and sometimes on my hands. I love the value and the pump but I find that it is a bit thin for a cream, the moisturization doesn't last very long, and it has a sightly floral/herbal base scent rather than a truly "unscented" aroma. For $4, I will use it, but it was not an adequate replacement for the other product.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used to love this lotion/cream when it came in the rectangular-ish larger bottle and with the old formula (NO petrolatum, no urea, no TEA/DEA chemicals - only methylparaben as the harmful stuff)! It was my favourite unscented cream. It didn't cause breakouts, had no artificial fragrance. Just a lovely scent of aloe.
Recently, I was shocked to notice the formula has changed, quite a bit. New ingredients (in priority order) are - butylene glycol, petrolatum, dimethicone, peg-100 stearate, hydrolyzed soy protein, tocopherol, TEA-carbomer, diazolidnylurea, methylparaben, propylparaben.
In the new formula, glycerin, aloe juice, jojoba oil, avocado oil and all such good stuff has moved lower down the order. NOT good!
Missing ingredients in the new formula - Cucumis Sativus, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) extract, Viola Tricolor Extract, Commiphora Myrrha Oil, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Citric Acid, Allantoin
So basically, I am paying just for a fancy bottle of petrolatum+butylene glycol and a bunch of nasty chemicals.
It would have been better if they had upped the price a bit (which they have already done - from $2.60 to $4) and kept the old, working formula the same!
HATE it when products sneakily change on us. Please write to Trader Joe's to urge restoration of the old formula.
5 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like that its unscented and has an herbal aloe blend but I was a little disappointed to see it has parabens listed in the ingredient panel. I'm not sure why I thought it wouldn't have them - I assumed it was a natural product and if it was, it might have been paraben-free? :/ Got it home and read the label and had a surprise: Propylparaben and Methylparaben. Based on that, I won't repurchase. I'm not a paraben fanatic but avoid them unless its such a great product that I can't live without it.
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Nothing but love for this. I use it on face, hands, body and it never sets off my sensitive, reactive skin.
Love this stuff! I experiment a lot with lotions, looking for just the right one. I always tend to stay away from anything containing mineral oil or petroleum, so I love Trader Joe's cosmetics since they tend to be more natural. This lotion is very affordable and it's great for using after you shave since it doesn't contain any fragrance that irritates the skin. It's moisturizing, but it doesn't quite make it to 5 stars because the moisturizing effect could last a bit longer (that is one drawback to using more natural products). I love the pun: "a midsummer night's cream." There aren't many stores with as much light-spirited humor as Trader Joe's. Also, the best thing about this product??? The pump that you can lock! I've always loved lotions that come with pumps, they're just much more sanitary. And finally someone thought to make a pump that locks so that if you want to take this with you on a trip you don't have to worry about lotion getting everywhere in your bag! Genius! Another great use is to mix this with a lotion that has a really heavy scent in order to dilute it a little bit.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I worked with paper at my office all day, and it dries my hands out like crazy! This moisturizer hits the spot! It rubs in easily and my skin absorbs it quickly, and it leaves my hands super soft! Vegan, no animal testing, and $3.99 per 16oz bottle with an easy pump applicator! Love it!
My skin has been particularly parched lately, and none of my body lotions have enough oomph. The only thing that's been working is sweet almond oil, but I don't like to use oils every day. I used to use this years ago, and picked some up last week. It's a great product - wonder if it's still made by Nature's Gate? It's on the heavier side, but still can be dispensed with a pump. No horrid or clashing scent, and is keeping my body well moisturized. It's not heavy enough to my liking for hand cream, though.

Hi..I have a 20X15 2nd floor balcony/ terrace area (concrete floor). I see cracks and when ever it rains I see the leaks downstairs. What is the best way to remediate this?
I am thinking of putting porcelain on top of the cement. Please let me know the expert thoughts. I am in Fl. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think the cheap fix would be a urethane caulk/seal product extruded into the crack. Were you to put porcelain on top of the cement, you would have to address the crack issue and design a floor system that would provide for water drainage. |

Local Filipinos rally to help typhoon victims as they pray, hope and wait
Local organizations are raising money to help get thousands of Filipinos back on their feet after deadly Typhoon Haiyan slammed the Philippines on Friday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
How you can help
World Vision: Go to http://bit.ly/1brzpQA or mail a check with "Philippines Disaster Response Fund" in the memo line to P.O. Box 9716, Federal Way, WA 98063-9716.
Mercy Corps: Go to www.mercycorps.org/typhoon, call 1-888-747-7440, or mail a check with " Philippines Typhoon Response" in the memo line to P.O. Box 2669, Dept W, Portland, OR 97208-2669
Lions Club International Foundation: Donate via http://bit.ly/1cMRP3h, or mail a check with "Philippines Typhoon Haiyan Relief" in the memo line to Department 4547
Carol Stream, IL 60122-4547
Filipino Community of Seattle: Will hold a dinner and dance fundraiser Nov. 22, 6 p.m. at the Filipino Community Center, 5740 Martin Luther King Junior Way S., Seattle. Funds will go toward recovery efforts on Bohol island. Additional details will be released online at http://bit.ly/HIa9fM or by calling Alan Garcia at (206) 722-9372.
American Red Cross Disaster Relief: Go to www.redcross.org/charitable-donations, call 1-800-RED CROSS, or mail a check to P.O. Box 4002018, Des Moines, IA 50340-2018.
Alan Garcia didn't want to spend the weekend dwelling on the fact that, since Friday, he hasn't heard from close family members and friends living in the Philippines.
That's when Typhoon Haiyan, packing wind gusts as high as 190 mph, killed untold thousands on the country's string of islands, including the one he grew up on, Bohol.
On Sunday, Garcia instead concentrated on volunteering at the Filipino Community of Seattle's center.
"I am in denial. I don't want to think about it," said Garcia, 60, of Sammamish, as he helped hundreds of Filipinos organize consulate paperwork. "There's no communication to Bohol island and all the roads are impassable."
He's hoping the lack of power to the island, which he still visits every year for reunions with old classmates, is the only reason his loved ones haven't been able to respond to him and other family members.
Federal Way-based charity World Vision, which already had more than 100 staff members on the ground in the Philippines when the typhoon hit, said it wasn't able to account for two of its workers in Tacloban City on Sunday. At least 37 other staff members have been affected by the storm, according to World Vision spokeswoman Amy Parodi.
World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization that's been working in the country since 1955, is planning to send more staff to the country by Monday but has been as hampered as other relief efforts in accessing the hardest-hit areas. They plan to help supply food, clean water and emergency shelter for about 400,000 people.
Parodi said some places have only been able to accept relief from volunteers who get through to areas via motorcycle or helicopter.
Meanwhile, Garcia is concentrated on finding ways to raise money for friends affected by the typhoon. He's also trying to help those whose homes were destroyed — some swallowed up by sinkholes — by an Oct. 15 earthquake that killed more than 200 Bohol people.
Bert Caoili, former president of the Filipino Community of Seattle, also is raising funds through a local Filipino chapter of the Lions Clubs International Foundation. Caoili said that all proceeds raised will go to typhoon emergency-response efforts because the organization has clubs in the Philippines the money can be given to directly.
Caoili recommended donating money instead of clothes and food, which is expensive to ship overseas.
"Just like previous disasters people like to send food like rice, for example. But in a disaster like that you have no way to cook it," Caoili said. "If you can send cash, that's always best because they can figure out what is most needed over there with it."

"We ordered this as a sample and ended up choosing this one. It was fun and colorful and went along with the style of our rehearsal dinner venue (a winery). I requested a different background color and they were able to fulfill my request. The final product was GORGEOUS. I went with rounded edges versus the sample cut and thought it looked nicer."
"Very Elegant invite with excellent quality for value. Excellent customer service and support. Highly recommend and would use again."
"I changed the background color to light pink. It came out great! The paper was a good thickness & are the perfect size for rehearsal dinner invitations."
"I changed the color of the paper to go with the overall themeof the wedding. I changed the shape of the card whichI thought made it look different. I spoke withsomeone on the phone throughout my entire order process since I had some trouble with my internet browser. she stayed on the phone withme until my entire order was complete. I can't say enough about this personalized service. I ordered at the last minute and was able to get my order in 3 days."
"Cosmopolitan design. Received this way before I thought I would. Great Customer Service. Would buy from Wedding Paper Dive again!"

One of my favorite blushes, gives me a lovely glow.
So before I wrote just a really small review (obviously) but decided to come back and write a bit more. Words can't really describe just how much I love this blush. I've had this for about 2 years or so and use almost everyday. I think this blush was made for my skintone. It's almost like a dirty pinky mauve color. I especially love this with darker hair. It's long lasting, and takes forever just to hit pan alone, which is surprising from the looks of it in the pan. It's more of a matte blush, but I feel like it gives a sheen glowy effect. This product is love! HG.

I can't believe this blush hasn't been reviewed since '05, or that *I* haven't reviewed it yet, lol! Anyway, I picked this blush up recently and I am madly in love with it; it is a beautiful light rosy pink that perks up my super-pale complexion and makes me look healthy. I've discovered that I can no longer wear brown/peachy-toned makeup colors anymore (makes me looked washed out and dead looking). Just in the past year, my skin has been going through a 'change'-almost like menopause or something, and I've been forced to change my makeup in terms of color palettes, foundations, powders, skincare-still using Merle products (which in my opinion are the BEST out there) . But anyway, I started wearing more cool-toned makeup colors (blush, lipstick) and what a HUGE difference. So, if you are looking to re-vamp your makeup look, I highly recommend this blush!

If BPA is a DT/DE/CB/S....I expect that over WR.
Talk in NY right now is they might go DE with their 1st and they have JPP and Tuck. Keeps you from getting in a CJ debacle again.
Right on. Remember last year everyone flipped out when we took Kuechly over bigger need (DT,CB). But fact is he was a BETTER player than Fletcher Cox or Gilmore or Coples. We could all be happy or pissed on draft day and be wrong either way. And yes the CJ contract is insane...when can we restructure that?

I have never cut any of my clematis back during the summer. I have always been afraid that I would cause wilt. I have lost several through the years to wilt.
Most of my clematis are group 3's, so if I cut back, how far should I cut back?

Except for a few late blooming varieties, your group 3's should be blooming or near bloom right now. Naturally, you wouldn't cut those back. If the vines bloomed in May and June, then those would be group 2's. |
So I would shear this fellow -Jackmani-back 50% after blooming period? Happy to do it. This is all new growth and more than I bargained for. Also a pooped out Henri to the right. Maybe, then afterwards I shouldn't feed them? Thanks--dazi |

What a beautiful clematis. When do you get your first frost? If you cut it back in August and you are in a cold zone it probably won't have enough time to rebloom and shouldn't be cut back. I think the gardeners who cut their clematis back live in warm zones that have extended growing seasons and can get 2 or 3 bloom periods from their clematis. |

Gorgeous Clematis Daisy..Only those in warmer zones can get away with pruning back this late and have blooms...When does your first frost come?..Jeanne |
Thank you for the comments. I've never had an overly zealous climatis before. My first frost comes early, end of Sept.or early Oct. Guess I'll need to hold back a bit on the trim job then? -- his brothers are the same age and they are gently falling over the fence on the same side. Anyway I can see him from my kitchen window and he rather demands ones attention. An obviously male trait... |
