Elliott holds off Bayne for Nationwide winThe Associated Press | July 20,2014AP Photo
Chase Elliott holds the trophy as he celebrates with teammates in Victory Lane after winning Saturdays NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, Ill.JOLIET, Ill. Chase Elliott is proving to be a quick study. A few questions for his teammates and a couple practice laps, and he was ready to roll in his first race at Chicagoland Speedway.
Elliott held off Trevor Bayne to earn his third Nationwide Series win of the season Saturday night, putting the rookie on top of the standings.
We had an awesome race going, Elliott said. I try to make the most of my practice laps. They gave me a good car. That gives me time to learn the track in practice.
Elliott had a strong car all day long for JR Motorsports, qualifying third and leading a race-high 85 laps. Bayne tried to chase him down on fresh tires in the final laps, but ran out of time.
The gap was closing, Bayne said. Probably 10 more laps, but well never know.
Elliott, the son of former NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, also won in his first trips to Texas and Darlington this year. He leads the standings by seven points over Regan Smith.
Chase Elliott said Smith and Kasey Kahne provided some importance advice about the track.
I did have some questions that I asked, and I definitely think that helped tonight, he said. So thankful to have a couple great teammates and good to have something to lean back on with those guys.
Kyle Larson was third, followed by Kahne and Ty Dillon to round out the top five.
Brian Scott, who started on the pole, finished sixth and earned $100,000 in the second event of the four-race Dash 4 Cash bonus program.
Kahne and Larson were the lone Sprint Cup regulars in the field on an off weekend for NASCARs top series. Everyone comes back to Chicagoland in September on the same weekend that the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins at the 1.52-mile oval.
The night began with a pair of Richard Childress Racing teammates in front after Scott and Dillon had the best showing in qualifying. It was Scotts second pole of the season and No. 4 for his career. He won his first Nationwide Series pole at Chicagoland on Sept. 17, 2011.
Scott led for 20 laps before Elliott moved in front.
Erik Jones finished seventh in his Nationwide debut, driving Joe Gibbs Racings No. 20 Toyota. The 18-year-old Jones won the Truck Series race last week at Iowa in the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota he shares with Busch. Jones also won a Truck race last year in Phoenix.
Jones is expected to make two more Nationwide starts in Matt Kenseths car this season.
It was definitely a learning experience for me and everybody involved, he said. I feel like I learned a lot the whole night and really picked up on some things that will help me through the next couple.
Jones got some advice from Busch in preparation for his first run in the series.
A lot of what we talked about was working through traffic and it definitely helped out, Jones said. It was something I was able to apply right away tonight and use to my advantage.
Smith, who led the series standings by eight points over Elliott Sadler coming into the day, started 15th after a disappointing qualifying session, and it just got worse during the race. He never got into the mix on his way to 16th place.
It was similar to last year, when Smith was on top of the series heading into the first stop at Chicagoland, and then slid into the infield on Lap 129 and finished 13th. He had the same finish in the September race at the same track.

Hyundai Azera Lighting
eclaixp Posts: 46cableguy06,
Definetely go for the 4300k for brightness. 6000k will give u blue tint and less brightness guarantee. If I were you, I'd contact the seller and offer him a reasonable lower price. Email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com if you want more details. Don't want to post prices in forums. -

eclaixp Posts: 46Hi guys,
Recently I had installed HIDs on my Azera SE: refer to post # 23.
There's something I don't like about the headlights. They seem to be misaligned? When I stand and crouch in front of the center of the car looking at the headlights, the driver side headlight outputs a brighter light as shown in the pic below:
At first, I thought there was something wrong with my HIDs so I switched the bulbs around (from left to right and vice versa) but this didn't make any difference (driver headlight still brighter).
I then changed to original OEM bulbs (completely removed HID) and still same results (driver bulb brighter). Also, while driving, I noticed the lighting output was broader on the co-pilot side as shown in the pics below (All pics below were taken with OEM bulbs installed, not HID):
Pic of headlight output when close to a wall (can't see much wrong):
Pic of headlight farther away:
Pic showing weird broader output to the right side:
As you can see, the light expands towards the right and then up. This also happened when I had HIDs installed.
Could some of you please take a detailed look at your headlights and let me know if you are also experiencing this? Stand and crouch in front and center of the car with your low beams on, do you notice if your driver bulb is brighter? Also, do your headlights output similar pattern than mine? I plan to take it to the dealer to see if they can fix this but before I'd like to hear from you. I'll greatly appreciate any help on this. Sorry for making this so long. (Sergio19, if you are reading this, could you please take a pic of the ouput of your HID against a wall at a far distance and at night?)
Thanks for your time. -

wamba2000 Posts: 146In older foreign built car I've owned (Saab and VW) I replaced the stock sealed beam headlights with either Cibie' or Hella replacement headlamps. These were not "legal" for street use as the laws at that time were that the unit had to be a sealed unit, not open for bulb replacement. WE've come a way from then..
Anyway, the lenses on these replacement lamps always had a cutoff with a flare upward on the right hand side of the lens. I was told by the Cibie' rep this was to not blind an oncoming driver (as mentioned by others) and to channel more light to the side where there could be cars parked or in highway driving, animals or other potential contact points.
From the look of your pattern in the pics, this style up and to the right persists.
Has anyone determine how to adjust the Azera headlamp units up/down or side/side? I have not found any adjustment screws that I think would accomplish this... Suggestions or pictures appreciated. -
cableguy06 Posts: 299Check in your owners manual. In my 2007 Sonata manual, there are detailed instructions in the back of the book on how to remove the headlight assembly, replace the bulb and adjust the lighting up and down. They STRONGLY advise not to attempt to make any horizontal adjustments. I would think that the adjustments will be easy and the same as my Sonata. I looked at my wife's Honda Odyssey and the adjusting screw was identical to my Hyundai.
I hope this helps! -

floridabob1 Posts: 1,190
eclaixp Posts: 46grandeurtg, are you refering to the bolt that's placed in the back of the headlight between the low and hight beam? The one that seems to have some teeth? I ask because that's the one I tweak around with to adjust up and down. Anyhow, thank you wamba2000 for confirming this. i'll put the HIDs back
cableguy06 Posts: 299
cableguy06 Posts: 299Just finished installing an HID kit in my 2007 Sonata. WOW! If you haven't done this modification, you need to check it out.
I went with the 4300K bulbs for the whitest and brightest light to achieve the most distance I could. It took about 1.5 hours to install and is well worth the investment of under $200.
I would highly recomment to all of you Azera owners as the difference in night time driving will amaze you :surprise: -
wamba2000 Posts: 146I have an 06 Limited purchased in Jun of 06. I replaced the standard bulbs with PIAA H7 bulbs, but want to raise the height of the drivers side, it shines much too low. I looked at the instructions for aiming headlamps on HMAService.com in the shop manual, and that is where I'm stumped.
For the '06 Azera, it shows an adjustment screw for horizontal; there is no such screw or place for me to position the screwdriver as shown in the diagram. I looked at the '07 instructions and the horizontal adjustment is not shown, only the vertical. (It looks more like what my car does.)
Is it possible there was a running change during the '06 year?
Has anyone else uncovered a solution? Your advice is much appreciated. -
jnd17 Posts: 62I agree. I was traveling last night with my wife and we both noticed the lights being brighter on the passenger side as apposed to the driver side, with a very noticeable shadow ending strongly on the driver side. I personally don't mind this, for it seems to light the right side of the vehicle especially near the side of the road, which helps in seeing any pedestrians or objects. The less light on the drivers side helps not hitting the oncoming cars with a strong glare. I like it. JoeD
sergio19 Posts: 90OK,
Here's how to adjust you headlights Height.
I show this cause it's been frustrating as hell how low the lights were pointing. I finally found how and it's so easy!
First you'll need a phillips screwdriver...period.
This 1st picture is where you need to put the screwdriver. this picutre is on the passenger side.
See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com
Next pixture is a closeup of the previous picture.
You just need to turn CCW or CW direction.
See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com
This picture is on the drivers side. My picture
is cluttered because that's my ballast for the HID lights.

Please don't point to high to blind oncoming cars...enjoy! -

zredsox Posts: 90sergio19 -
Many, many thanks on the photos and instructions on how to adjust the headlight height. I'm not sure I would have figured out that all I had to do was slide a philips head screwdriver down the little funnel and turn. After reading your post, I went to the garage and the adjustment took me all of about 1 minute. This headlight shadow has been driving me nuts for months.
Again, thanks a million. -
wamba2000 Posts: 146Sergio, thank you! The HMA service diagram is no where close to your pictures, at least to my eyes. The Service diagram does have the suggested heights and shows where you should see the cutoff mark. Height from ground without the driver aboard should be 27.5 inches. This is taken on a flat surface from about 9.5 feet. There also adjustments for the fog lights shown on this page.
ratledge Charleston county, South CarolinaPosts: 233In reply to both of you, the H7 bulb is correct. From past experience, the PIAA bulbs are crap and generally last less than one year from installation. Sylvania "SilverStar" is a gimmick, too - frankly. The best bet if you don't go to HID is to use either the "GE" NightHawk (my choice) which is really Tungsram made in Europe (wholly owned subsidiary of GE) or use the Narva RangePower+50 which Daniel Stern sells. I have those in my fog lamps.
cableguy06 Posts: 299In the past, I have swapped out factory halogens for Silverstar's and, although the bulb was whiter, it gave no real benefit for distance as they are both still 55W bulbs.
I just changed out to HIDs last weekend and the difference is night and day. You can buy a great HID kit off of eBay for well under $200. I recently found a Bosch German made kit for $140 plus shipping and I am looking at that one for my wifes Honda Odyssey.
I can't understand paying $50+ for two halogen bulbs that will have no real impact on visibility but may be slightly better and whiter (or bluer if you are trying to mimmick an HID headlamp) than the factory bulbs. I noticed when I pulled out my H7 bulbs they are made by Phillips so Hyundai is by no means installing a cheap or crappy bulb to begin with.
To each their own but I find upgrading to another halogen is a waste of your money as I have personally found in the past. Maybe the GE is better but I cannot imagine it is that much better than the Sylvania as life expectancy would be the only real benefit to spending a little more when dealing with a halogen filament-style bulb.
If I am incorrect in any of my above assumptions, I am always open to learning something new -
ratledge Charleston county, South CarolinaPosts: 233Sorry - you completely missed my point: yes, those "$50+" SilverStar bulbs are junk, covered with a coating that makes them actually emit less light, and they have a claimed service life of 150 hours. The GE (actually Tungsram) lamps are about $20 a pair at Wally World and don't have such a coating, have much better lumens and lumens - not wattage - is what counts when you're talking about light on the road. NightHawk lamps have a claimed 1200 hour service life.
PIAA bulbs (which are usually $70+/pair - up to $100) are even worse, have a blue coating to make them "look HID" but again have less useful light projected onto the roadway. PIAA bulbs don't have a claimed service life that I know of, but personal experience has shown me that I should expect them to last somewhere between 250 and 400 hours.
Maybe you should go read a little of the facts about lighting on Daniel Stern's web-site? -
cableguy06 Posts: 299ratledge - I totally get your point but think you may be missing mine. I fully understand that lumens and not wattage is what counts. My point is that even the GE bulbs you are speaking of won't make much of a difference above the factory halogens. A 55W halogen is a 55W halogen no matter how you slice it. It may provide a minor increase over the factory Phillip's bulbs but, as an electrical engineer, I can't imagine it will be anything significant.
The only thing that any of our members can do to really see any effect to light output is to go HID. HIDs burn cooler, have 3X the lumens of a halogen bulb and last for 3000+ hours.
My opinion, and it's only that, is that unless you can afford to spend $150 - $200 on an HID kit, save your money on those replacement halogens. If you can afford an Azera, you can probably afford an HID kit and don't need to skimp on the lumens and the beauty is that it's a do-it-yourself installation in less than an hour :shades:

Alfred Brown teams up with our national sports stars.
Over the last decade Alfred Brown has woven many fabrics which have been used to tailor the formal suits for our national teams.
Most recently this summer supplying Marks and Spencer and the FA with a tropical plain weave for the England squad in the Football World Cup in Brazil, followed by Magee with an all wool green blazer cloth for the Northern Ireland Team in The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
In 2013 we supplied both Thomas Pink with an all wool navy fabric for The British and Irish Lions Rugby Tour blazer and Moss Bros a Super 110's blue Birdseye for the suits of the England Rugby League Team touring Australia.
In the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Team GB wore formal garments tailored by Next from an Alfred Brown all wool micro design in a prunelle weave.
For Euro 2012 Marks and Spencer and the FA used a very bright blue tropical all wool for the England squad's official suit and in the Football World Cup in South Africa in 2010 a striking three piece suit was tailored by Marks and Spencer for the England Team from an Alfred Brown Birdseye design.

The Boy Scouts have been in the news again for exclusionary practices, this time not for sexual orientation, but for body mass index cutoffs for their Jamboree.
Being fat is nothing to be ashamed of. That's the premise of a TEDx talk given recently by Golda Poretsky, founder of the Body Love Wellness progra...
By focusing on health, we can address real health concerns, giving both fat and thin people the support they deserve and avoiding stigmatizing people and worsening the problem.
Does it ever seem like you're hearing the same things about weight over and over? Witnessing the depressing cycle of failed public initiatives and fruitless personal efforts to trim our waistlines, who wouldn't wish for a more hopeful angle or some alternative facts on the old story?
A USDA funded study with partial support by the National Confectioners Association recently published remarkable findings. Kids who eat candy are thinner and have lower BMIs than kids who don't.

Is it possible, on the 110v. line side, to activate the transformer with a photo cell(with a timer to shut the system bown after a certain time) and then have a motion detector trip the system back on for a short duration? The scenario is to have a driveway illuminated for a certain period in the evening for ambiance, and then have the system turn on for ingress and egress. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sure. This is done with landscaping quite often. The transformer doesn't particularly care since it's just getting line power in... or not. |
Wire this with dual power paths into transformer. Timer before photocell as one path. Then motion detector as the second path. You must use only one circuit for this and should have a master switch to turn it all off for service. If the lights are already on, detecting motion just sends the power again without any issue (when you use same circuit). One of the lansscape lighting companies have or had a ready to go product that did this but I can't remember which. |

Thanks for the responce fellas. There will be just one 110v. circut with a on-off switch. I guess my concern is that if one control turns the system on then there will be feed back from the transformer to the other control. I had planned on using 'PRECISION' mod. ESC-124DS photo cell,it's the only one I could find with a timer, and they won't say if feed back is a problem. I have searched for a combo unit, with zero luck. So I'll go with the two path system you sugested and see what happens. Thanks again |

Now is the time when the ancient Euphorbia E. antiquorum is in bloom. This plant is native where I live and seems to respond to the dry season by putting out flowers. There are multiple insects pollinating them. Up close they have somewhat sweet smell, but from far away it smells like fresh dog faeces!!

When we talk about addiction, the first thing that comes to mind might be drugs and alcohol. The damage they cause in the lives of the individuals and families they effect need not be discussed in detail, as we know they are real with many of you reading this possessing first hand experience. When we think about foods, however, its rare that we consider their effects as "drug-like", nor would we associate their impact on human health in a comparative way. However, research and real life is painting us a very different picture. Let's take good ole' table sugar for example.
In the late 1800′s the average american consumed about 10-15 pounds of added sugar per year. By the turn of the 21st century, that number had sky-rocketed to nearly 150lbs per year, a truly staggering statistic. With all the data on the obesity epedemic and considering the rise of diabetes, you would think that sugar intake, (a highly responsible party for those issues) would decline. It's not. Why?
In addition to being physiological, its effects are highly emotional. In fact, sugar can create both a neurological and emotional response similar to that of recreational drugs. The only difference is that you might wind up in the hospital or doctors office to deal with its repercussions, not court or jail like other addictive substances. Need proof? Here is an excerpt from a 2008 study (one of many) conducted at Princeton University:
"Researchers at Princeton University studying bingeing and dependency in rats have found that when the animals ingest large amounts of sugar, their brains undergo changes similar to the changes in the brains of people who abuse illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin."
Even if there were no studies to prove the addictive properties of added sugar like this one, (and other preservatives and food additives) the proof lies in the pudding: the reality of the human condition:
- When told to eat properly, fruits, veggies, lean protein, good carbs, people say, "I'm going on a diet" – not true. They are coming OFF a diet and starting to EAT properly.
- When asked if they are happy with the extra weight they're carrying, almost every individual says no - which begs the question – then why are you still carrying it? If it was that easy, no one would be overweight – sugar, food, additives are addictive, and therefore, its a disease by definition. Dictionary.com states addiction as: "the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming." If you can't stop drinking those sodas or eating those donuts, you are in some stage of addiction to them. If you have to use will power and "give them up", same deal.
The effect has to do with serotonin and the limbic system (pleasure system of the brain) among other things. Once we open the door to that substance (like sugar) just like a drug, we are suseptible to its addictive properties. A conversation for another time.
For now, focus on these things:
- One ingredient foods – stay as close to them as you can, with as many of your food choices as possible - fish, chicken, apples, broccoli, etc…
- Limit added sugar – you can find it on foods labels – sugar in a product is not always bad, but when the ingredient itself (like sugar or any form of it) is listed on the label, its been added, and is not natrually occurring. Oranges have sugar, but its naturally occurring, cookies, not so much. The guidelines are loose, but its recommended that women ingest no more than 100 calories of added sugars per day, and men, no more than 150. That's about 25 and 37 grams respectively. To start, keeping added sugar at or below 10 percent of your total daily calories is a solid goal.
- Eat things that grow naturally – from the ground, on trees and from mothers :) As my friend Brooks Tiller would say – " you don't see any twinkie trees or pop tart plants do you?".
- Consider a spring cleaning, and a small, safe fast. For more information on the benefits of it, click the link to read an article I contributed to on MSN.com. http://fitbie.msn.com/lose-weight/diet-cleanse-thats-safe-and-really-works
The bottom line – realize that a war rages, and your body is the target. Take appropriate steps to fight the battle one day at a time and respect your body like the miracle it is. If you had a Ferrari you wouldn't dump acid in the gas tank. You have a much more incredible machine, so treat it that way.

I really like the way the clothes look, although the quality varies quite a bit. My complaint with this company is that you are ordering clothing from overseas and I wasn't aware of that. I thought they were expanding their company into the US, but that isn't the case. I ended up having to pay customs on an order for it to be released to me. The cost was over $60.

Looks like Mars Needs Moms did even worse than people expected.
Why 'Mars Needs Moms' bombed for Disney - Entertainment - Movies - TODAY.com
Ho hooooooooooooooo man!
That's terrible.
I've gotta say, when I first saw the trailer for this one, I was surprised by how poor it came across - you expect a Disney film to have a certain quality about it and MNM's was not bringing that at all...
When I first saw the trailer, I didn't realize it was a Disney movie. Oh well, I guess it will join Home on the Range on the shelves.
That's a big oops!
That piece of cr..cinema was made by Disney? How sad. It was so generic and formulaic I thought for sure it was done by Dreamworks.
You might be, I just didn't care for Home on the Range. We saw it advertised at the Studios on our annual trip that year it was released. It was out of theaters and on DVD before I ever took the kids to go see it.
Some things are just better off straight to video.
this movie trailer scared my neice and nephew a little bit. it actually looked kind of...already done i guess. i mean they need a new idea for new movies
I feel bad for the animators on the movie. I mean, you go to a movie and it's two hours. You make the movie and it's two years. They were probably making it thinking to themselves "Geez, this suc*s!"
I saw this on opening day with my 7 and 9 year old sons, and we actually liked it. Its certainly no "Meet the Robinsons" (and can't hold a candle to ANY Pixar film) but it was definitely worth seeing.
That being said, the three of us were in a theater with just 7 other people for a 3:30pm Friday showing. They certainly could have presented it better ahead of time!
i took tayen on opening weekend because it had double movierewards points...lol and i was so disappointed in disney because of it.. the graphics of the movie were awesome! but the story line was awful.. man hating aliens sent the boy aliens to the **** part of the ship while the girl aliens were raised by bots that they stole the disciplines out of moms and put in the bots..
it was a crudy story line and it didnt catch my attention at all.. me and friend talked through the whole thing.. it had like one or two funny moments.. but so not worth the big screen... dvd release at best.. but to think this flick came from the disney line and history is a pitty.. its so not up to disney's name

As good as the hot-pursuits are in this game, the game aspires to be a movie, which it isn't.
Many such need for speed games also added 'hot-pursuit' mode where a cop(or multitude of them) would chase you down. This feature was in the first, third, fourth, fifth and the sixth game. For some reason they seem to have disappeared from the seventh and the eighth game (the Underground series) but made a comeback for the ninth (Most Wanted). While that is the main highlight of this game and is definitely more exciting than any previous incarnations of it, it alone doesn't make the game better.
The gameplay is awesome like always. Cars handle like they are supposed to. A change from the underground series is that the nitrous now has a regenerative model (it slowly replenishes itself). This mechanism is sleek and is very efficient if we think about it. But takes away some of the challenge of the last game (cool moves and show-offs with your car would give you nitrous instead back then). An added ability called a 'speed-breaker' puts game in slow-motion and makes sudden-turns or dodging traffics easier. Also in drag race mode, this is a must most of the time cause this time the game has a tendency to put traffic in the player's face every other drag race. The only way out is the speed-breaker. It's so-much compulsory to use if you want to win, that it's almost like cheating.
The free world is huge but feels dead somehow. No more little secrets or hidden shops. No more 'banks' lying about that gives you money. No more secret races. And definitely no more out-run racers roaming about. This kills the total purpose of actually needing to explore all that huge 'what's-it-name' city(Rockport really!) except for the reason to memorize short-cuts and routes (which are plenty this time and comes handy during races). You can pretty much access any race anytime from the menu. Heck even cop-chases can be done this way.
Speaking of which, the cop-chases are revamped to be more exciting and thrilling to the very end. When a chase begins the cops get after you and try to stop you as hard as they can. Depending on your notoriety, they may deploy simple road-blocks to spike-strips. There are also those occasional 'rhino' SUVs trying to ram into you and stop you. The cop AI is excellent as they behave smartly, making the challenge harder. There are no 'tickets' this time but a bar shows how close are you to being busted or evading the pursuit. Staying closer to a cop will raise the red 'busted' meter while keeping away from them will fill the green 'evade' meter. If the green goes full you will be given a cool-down meter. If you survive this cool-down phase without getting spotted you successfully evade or else chase beings anew. If you can find a 'hiding spot' dotted all over the world the cool-down will be faster.
Pursuits can happen anytime, even during races so you have to be ready (although most race-time pursuits are scripted). What I did discover is that the cops are always on your tail and never busts anyone else in real-time. Now this is a let-down considering how even Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit cops acted fair. Speaking of which, the racer AI cheats sometimes. Creating the illusion of having a tough AI, the racer AI will ram into trucks in pure daylight and speed past you with impossible speed if you leave them behind (without crashing). Some races are so much scripted and predictable that upon re-races you'd find the exact same opponent always wins if you don't or the exact same traffic cars shows up at the exact same spot every-time or how cop chases start at the exact position in a race every-time. I call this a drawback since it prevents emergent game-play (when many previous installments in the series did not do this).
The game also lacks many customization options those were present in the last game. You can no longer fine-tune head lamps or sport neon-glows under your car. This may seem minor at first, it takes away some of the immersion that Underground 2 (and even Underground) seemed to have.
Let's just say this: the graphics couldn't have been any better. The environment is just beautiful and the sun sprays a golden-tint over the world in a really spectacular way. The weather changes are also nicely done and cloudy racing scenes becomes quickly memorable. Raining however seems to happen randomly because as weird it may seem, I've seen rain falling during clearly bright and sunny skies. The motion-blur effect at top-speeds gives you the familiar sense of speed the Underground series had. All in all, I'm very satisfied with graphics.
Sound effects are nicely done. The engines all feel realistic. And sound of crashes make you feel it happened near you. The voice over for the cops talking over the radios are extremely believable and adds to the feel of being a fugitive. The voice for the characters in the cut-scene is averagely done. All characters behave like they are punks, but in a game like this, I guess that's okay.
The music selection is biased towards the tuner culture. I personally did not like that taste of music that came shipped with the game. Unlike Underground 2 where I actually like a few, all music here is like hearing that annoying song you always avoided to heat. That's just me of course. But EA is pretty biased since it did not let me choose my own soundtracks from my hard-drive or something.
The cut-scenes are no longer comic-esque like the last game and has been replaced with live acting. Now it pretends to put you in a movie but that hardly works with a terrible acting and a cliched way things turns out. The HUD is alright but the navigator arrow is very unfriendly. It's supposed to point you to where you want to go but take one wrong turn and it's gone!
The game also brings back the annoying 'thrill-cam' mode. The game aspires to be a movie or something because as soon as your car leaps from an altitude the game happily shows how cool your car is from the bottom in slow-motion, yet ignoring the fact that you could be very well heading into a traffic next. The sudden camera change may also disorient players when in a tight racing moment (God how games these days are plagued with useless wannabe-movie cams!). Thankfully it can be turned off.
The story is interesting. The player is a newbie in rockport when a local racing punk tricks you into losing your car. He uses that car to go all the way to no.1 position of the most wanted blacklist. Now it's your turn to grab a car (like last time) and 'pursuit' him up the ladder. The ending is however done very well and although I won't spoil it here, you're gonna like it.
So this wannabe-movie game is actually not so bad. The chases are fantastic and satisfyingly challenging and that's why you should get this game in the first place. If you want pure customization like the good-ol'-times and want to feel being in tuner-culture again Underground 2 is still there waiting to outrun Most Wanted any day.

I normally decorate the cakes individually and then stack them onto the cake board. Since my cakes are mud cakes and quite heavy once decorated, I'm too scared to transfer them to the board once they're stacked for fear of something going wrong at the last minute! If your cakes are quite light and they have good support systems in place, they might be ok to shift when stacked. You might need to have a trial run to see what you're comfortable with.
I would decorate board, then stack on board and decorate.. Just me though
I definitely would not build a multi tiered cake without it being on it's drum when you start stacking the cake. I made the mistake one time of doing this with a small two tiered cake, and when I put a huge spatula under the bottom tier to lift the cake onto it's drum, the cake circle underneath the bottom tier buckled the slightest bit, causing my internal supports to shift, which caused the whole cake to collapse about an hour later. Don't risk it.
If you're worried about getting your decorated board dirty, just place wax paper strips around the perimeter, and build on top of those. When you're ready to finish up the cake, pull them out and you'll be good as new.

Pushkar Prayer for ancestors scam!
As usual our sly guide excused himself midway to Pushkar saying that another guide will take over for this tour to Pushkar.
The new guide was a local and had connections with syndicates that offer prayers for your ancestors at the Lake, and demand exorbitant sums with threats that giving poorly will effect your future prospects. When we approached the lake to have a look , a troop of imposters just marched towards us with much approval from our new found guide and announced that it is good to pray and that the fee would be only a token sum.
Family members were separated to conduct individual poojas even to pray to the same ancestors?? We played along just to see how far they would go and found that the impostors could not even chant basic mantras properly! And then made a token sum and exited while being threatened with ill luck and misfortune . Later , some members of the tour who gave much more than others ( range of contribution 100-1500 rupees) confronted our sly tour guide for setting us up, but he just smiled and said "'You shouldn't have given, nobody forced you!'

The guys trying to get you to the Lake!
So when you walk through the streets in Pushkar you have to be aware that there will be a lot of young men trying to convince you to go with them to the lake so you can be blessed. Be aware though that the holy person will try and get you to repeat several phrases in Hindi which will basically mean you owe them some money- the amount of rupees varies. After they get you to give them your money they will tie a string around your wrist. This means in theory they will leave you alone from then on. But that doesnt mean they wont try again! I recommend avoiding this situation at all cost. It is never a good idea to follow strangers anyway even if you can see the lake at the end of the path.
- Historical Travel
Please be careful, particularly women travellers.
As you may know, lassi is a favourite drink in India which is yoghurt based. It is delicious. However, in Pushkar, a local variation on this drink is called Bang Lassi. Basically a lassi with loads of dope etc in it. It is "weapons grade" and people we have spoken to who have had it, all tell us about the amount of days they lost after having it.
It has been known for some shopkeepers and waiters to give women customers this super-charged version of lassi instead of the regular one, and then the women have been sexually assaulted.
Please be careful. Pushkar is an amazing place, don't put yourself in danger by being tempted to try some.- Backpacking

Blessings and the water
I am not saying don't have a blessing by the lake - however I will say be careful of the water. Part of the blessing is to dip your fingers in the water and annoint yourself with it. I'm sure this is fine, but I would really strongly recommend when the holy man says "touch your eyes with the water" that you don't!
I have never seen water so poluted in my life. Through my kayaking over the years I have paddled in the most poluted rivers the UK has - but these have nothing on Pushkar Lake. It was bright green and looked thick! Like washing up liquid!- Backpacking

Pick pockets
If you travel by camel cart you won't be going very fast. As such, you will get people walking along with you either trying to sell you something or beg.
However, on 2 occassions I caught people trying to steal from me as I was travelling on one. One of them even tried to pull the trainer off my foot!!!
Good fun though, and don't let it put you off...just keep an eye on your stuff.- Backpacking

Powercut at 9-11am
You might experience some shortish powercuts whilst staying in India. However, be warned that Pushkar, and a lot of other places in Rajasthan, have daily powercuts that last a couple of hours. Pushkar's last 2 hours between 9am and 11am. I never quite understood the reason behind them so if anyone can shed some light on it then let me know!
Monkeys on hill
The Savitri Temple is located on top of the Ratnagiri Hill which is about 1km south-west of the lake. I got to the top after climbing the hill for about an hour and there's a little snack shop selling drinks and snacks. I bought a packet of biscuits and sat down at some plastic chairs and started eating them. All of a sudden, along came a very large monkey who startled the living daylights out of me and who was, of course, after my biscuits. I leaped up and chased him away with one of the plastic chairs. In fact I through it at him and made a roaring sound to get the message across that his company wasn't wanted! Be warned that these monkeys are big and can attack you without warning.
Hard climb to Savitri Temple
The Savitri Temple is located on top of the Ratnagiri Hill which is about 1km south-west of the lake. The hill is about 750ft high and is quite a hard climb to the top which can be undertaken by following a path and then steps up to the top. It took me an hour to reach the top but it's well worth it. Take my advice and make the climb in the late afternoon when the sun is beginning to set as it bathes the lake in a fine orange glow.
Holy Cow a BULLFIGHT!
Now cows are holy - AND they are aware of that, meaning they do what they want, even taking a rest in the middle of the main road, so that the cars have to see how to get around them.
BUT it can get quite dangerous when two bulls start quarreling for the same girlfriend (yeah, since the bible it is always the same reason for bad blood - wars started and kingdomswere destroyed because of.....ok, we get off topic now). Ok, but these two bulls were already famous for destroying complete stands on the market (according to locals) and you dont really want to get between these two fellows, do you?
But if you have the bad luck to stand in a narrow alley when these bulls meet......... -
Be Aware of the Rules!
The people of Pushkar are hell bent on travelers following their rules. Some seem a bit ridiculous, but so many travelers have been really negligent in behaving themselves that the rules are now posted all over town.
The last thing we saw about this "rule breaking" was a Sweedish woman who went skinny dipping in the holy lake. She said that the priest said it would be okay. If you know Indian customs, you would know that that is an absurd statement. The girl was arrested.- Backpacking
- Arts and Culture
Customs keep in your Mind
The main attraction of Pushkar is his holy Lake,fullfilled of Gaths and people praying. Is a very beautifull place to visit, but keep in mind to bring respect. Remember you must remove your shoes before you reach this sacred lake (at least 15 metres) and not allowed to take photographs of the pilgrims bathing and worshiping in the ghats.

Take care about dope dealers
This is a very big problem in Pushkar, moreover in the Gaths area or in the old city part.
Everyone will offer you every kind of drugs, simply avoid them and there will be no problem.
There is no reason to get worried about that...simply take it easy... -
Bargain for whatever, from shopping to the GH
If there is one thing you have to learn as quick as possible is this: Bargain! Regaurding whatever, from stuff, to food, to drinks to also the Guesthouses. When somebody is asking 100, you gotta pay not more then 30!
There are only few items that has a fix prices, like BIRI, which costs 5Rs!!!
Reguarding tghe GH you should not ask for the 30% of the inquiry, but for sure go down to the first price called by the owner. -
Take care once buying a bus ticket
It happends a very strange thing to me.
I book the bus ticket for the route Pushkar – Jaipur and I paid normally the rate.
Once we were dropping on the bus, the man told us "you do have to pay for looking forward your bags"…and what tha hell does it mean?!
So, despite the normal rate they will ask you for some Rupee for looking forward your bags…When this will happen, DO NOT pay anything and go stra8 to the manager, he will settle the matter…

straight talk does not roam - http://www.straighttalk.com/FAQ
I love the idea of SIM cards. But I"m concerned with how the coverage is in Nebraska (specifically Lincoln.) Does Straight Talk when using GSM run off of AT&T, and roam when there isn't AT&T coverage? (For example in Scottsbluff NE AT&T roams on Viaero.)
straight talk does not roam - http://www.straighttalk.com/FAQ
Straight Talk GSM roams but Straight Talk CDMA does not.
9. ROAMING: "Roaming" occurs when a subscriber of one wireless service provider uses the network facilities of another wireless service provider. Roaming usually occurs when a subscriber places or receives a call while outside of the network coverage area of their wireless service provider.
Service on the CDMA Network. If your Straight Talk Service is on the CDMA network, your Straight Talk phone will not roam when you are outside of the Straight Talk CDMA network coverage area.
Service on the GSM Network. If your Straight Talk Service is on the GSM network, your Straight Talk Wireless phone may roam when you are outside of the Straight Talk GSM network coverage area. When your Straight Talk GSM phone is roaming, Voice and SMS messaging will continue to be available to you at no additional charge. Mobile Web Services access will not be available while you are roaming outside of the Straight Talk GSM Network coverage area. When your GSM Straight Talk Phone is roaming, an indicator light on your handset may display the word "Roam" or "RM" on the screen while the phone is not in use.
Earl F. Parrish
I've been in Lincoln a few times with a AT&T SIMed Tracfone and a PPC phone on Verizon and a T-Mo2Go phone, all had strong signals there. My niece lives in Gretna, no problem with cell service of any kind at her house.
All had strong signals westward on I80 to the Wyoming line and beyond.
The last time I was in Scotts Bluff was before bag phones were introduced. The town is big enough that there should not be problems with service there either.
Awesome! I love the T-404G and am looking to switch from Cricket. Thanks guys!
Buy the phone from WalMart, local or on-line. Within the 14 day return period you have nothing to loose but the remainder of the 30 day airtime. Online orders can be returned to a local store.
You do not want to put yourself through a bought direct from ST return.
My wife is on the iPhone with the e71 sim no problems in any part of Nebraska but the key to remember is AT&T is ONLY native in Omaha and Lincoln proper. Hwy81 s of York is a complete dead zone
Yes it roams fine. Strange things at times like txt messages not coming in, the valley of death at 160th and Dodge and York, NE to the KS state line but otherwise in Viaero areas works great.
Straight Talk GSM phones WILL roam off of their primary AT&T or T-Mobile provider. The two Nokias use ONLY AT&T as their primary provider.
Straight Talk CDMA phones will NOT roam (Verizon only).
Tracfone/Net10 phones are different in that BOTH GSM and CDMA phones will roam.
So I should be fine almost anywhere in the state? I'm in the middle of nowhere right now, where my current Cricket phone is useless, (near Utica NE). I like ST's GSM phones better than their CDMA phones...

ok, i think i found out how to install the reacro leather seats.
You need the heated seats, the switches, the switch panel and a 2007 fuse box.
The heated seats for me are the Recaro leathers install them as you would normally, and reattach the seat loom to the seat. (remeber to disconnect the battery and wait about 10 mins and that remove and install your new seats)
Once you have done that buy the switch panel which has spaces for the heated seat switches. I got it from a st-3 carbon effect.
Install the panel with the switches, the wires to the switches are behind the panel, easy to find. They are black with red clip. ( Do not connect the cables which are one solid colour to the switches like blue and grey, they are forairbag and esp. )
Once you have the seats in and the switches plug in and in place. with the car still disconnected from the battery. You have to reinstall the new fuse box.
The fuse box has to have a fuse 86 . If there is no fuse at 86 then you need to replace your fuse box like me.
If you do have a fuse 86 20amp fuse then easy your seats should be working. If you have pins there but no fuse just put a 20 amp fuse in.
But for me it was harder. I had to remove glove box, to get better access to the old fuse box.
Once you swap over the fuse box for one which has fuse 86.
And remeber if you do change the fuse box the whole layout changes as a service bullet for from called 43 2009.
After all this the heated seats worked.
how did you get on with this?
Fuse 86 i dont have my heated seats is fuse 121
when i installed the recaro heated seats in mine,i found there was 3 wires missing.2 from the heated seat switches and a main live wire.i added these and all works well
I have all the wires and I've followed them back to the fuse box but there is no connectors or fuse in 121. Is there 4 wires going to each switch?
i think so.one wire from each switch goes to the passenger footwell then to the seat connector then the fuse side from fuse box goes to each seat connector
Yeah I need to know what wires to fuse and give a live to as it goes into the fuse box which I cannot open so I'm gonna have to put an inline fuse when I find out what colours I need to cut! A wiring diagram would be very helpful right now!
i found i didnt have the wire from the fuse box from the fuse so just added one.have you checked for wires in passenger footwell ?

It's easier (and more concise) for me to single out the bad in the Chevy Malibu than praise the good, since this car is so good overall: Torque steer is bad to very bad, and this hinders the 3.5-liter V-6's strength. Road noise is bit too prevalent. The interior materials are very, very good, but their alignment is pretty poor in places. Speaking of poor alignment, the trunk of this test vehicle was misaligned a bit as well. Finally, the price of this tester was a bit steep...for $30K, I would at least expect dual climate control, navigation, and a sunroof.
Fortunately, this car is otherwise well optioned, with comfortable heated leather front seats, satellite radio, multiadjustable power seats (eight-way driver's), a six-speed automatic, lots of space for both people and luggage, and smooth styling. This current generation of the Malibu was an Automobile Magazine All-Star (twice), and we clearly made a good choice. Hopefully for Chevy, the Malibu can climb back to award-winning status amongst its peers once it's revised in a couple years.
