Shazam®, the world's leading media engagement company, today unveiled its exciting new user experience for iPad and Android tablet fans, including a completely redesigned home screen, an improved layout for Shazam tag results for both TV and music, and a new way to browse what your friends have been tagging. The updated app gives tablet fans new streams of activity to explore what songs people are tagging and, in the US, what TV shows people are currently watching, as well as a fascinating new interactive mapping feature enabling music fans to explore what people are discovering in any city around the world. Shazam is also bringing to its free, unlimited-usage tablet experience two popular features – lightning-fast tagging that enables recognition in as little as one second and full-screen LyricPlay™ lyrics.
"This new version of Shazam optimizes discovery, engagement, transactions and exploration in a tablet environment. It's the most efficient way to experience more of the media around you whether you are in your home or in any other environment throughout the world," said Shazam CEO, Andrew Fisher (Photo: Business Wire)
"The number of Shazam users and their level of engagement continue to grow rapidly. We now have over 300 million Shazamers globally with an increasing proportion of whom use our app on their iPad or Android tablet devices to interact with television. This new version of Shazam optimizes discovery, engagement, transactions and exploration in a tablet environment," said Andrew Fisher, Shazam CEO. "It's the most efficient way to experience more of the media around you whether you are in your home or in any other environment throughout the world."
When Shazam fans download the new update available in the coming weeks, they can experience the following great features that encourage and enable discovery and exploration:
- An exciting new design featuring an innovative home screen that invites exploration to see what TV shows* and music people are currently tagging, as well as find out what's most popular in the Shazam Tag Charts.
- An interactive mapping feature, enabling fans to zoom in to any city in the world to discover, buy and share the most popular music people are listening to in that location – starting at the continent level, then drilling down into the country, state/region, city and even to the town level, in some cases;
- An improved Shazam Friends feature, providing people with one of the best ways to discover new music and media from their friends as well as giving them quick access to preview and comment on their friends' tags;
- Lightning-fast tagging, so that people can identify what they're watching or listening to in as little as one second;
- Sharing that's easier than ever, including a streamlined way to tell your friends about your finds via Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and email; and,
- Automatic resubmission. If people are in a poor network reception area, they no longer have to manually resubmit their tags when they get to a better reception area. Resubmission will happen automatically, and the user will be notified.
Over the past months, Shazam has been seeing triple-digit growth in the number of downloads of the iPad version of its app, particularly for use as a second-screen companion device while watching television.
"According to Canalys, tablet sales are set to surpass laptop sales this year, and those of all PCs by 2016, demonstrating that people love the elegance and simplicity of using wireless technology to enhance their work and home lives. Additionally, tablets are an ideal way to experience more on the second screen as people watch television on the first screen, giving people more space to engage in additional content," continued Andrew Fisher, Shazam CEO. "Our new app gives our fans a significantly improved and streamlined way to engage more with the media they enjoy in the fastest way possible."
The new version of Shazam for iOS is a universal app, so it works with iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices. The Shazam App has already updated its UI for iPhone and iPod touch, and will include the new interactive mapping feature with this upcoming release.
All versions of Shazam for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch and Android devices come with unlimited tagging, giving fans more opportunities to engage with music and television content. For people who don't yet have the Shazam App, it can be downloaded for free from the App Store and on Google Play™.
The new design and features are expected to launch on iOS and Android devices in the coming weeks.
* Second-screen immersive experiences for television programming are available currently in the United States and on a selective basis in the UK. Shazam for TV advertising is available for brands to use globally, with over 200 television advertising campaigns for over 140 brands already delivered in over a dozen countries in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
About Shazam

We at Maltese Rescue California thank all of our communities for their support!
Have a Heart for Bella
Bella was born with a heart defect that normally closes in the first day of life. Her owners surrendered her to Maltese Rescue as they could not afford to get medical care for her. Bella was diagnosed with a PDA heart defect which means some of her blood does not go to her lungs to get oxygen. Her left side of her heart has to work harder and this can lead to her heart failing to pump her blood throughout her body. Surgery to correct this defect should be done as early as possible to prevent heart failure. <<<Click Here to Donate>>>
Bella Update!
For the Maltese Rescue California,
They come to us in so many ways: abused, abandoned, hurt, sick, lost, unwanted & unloved. Your support means so much… Maltese Rescue California is dedicated to providing food, medical care & shelter, along with caring hearts & loving arms. Giving each one another chance at life and love and their new forever home. It's all about second chances.
We had you at WOOF! One of our avid fans - Haute Inspirations - donated these fun t-shirts to Maltese Rescue California to help raise badly needed funds for medical expenses. Make a $25 donation and we'll mail you one as a thank-you. Be sure to note the word T-SHIRT in the 'comments' section at check-out and include your preferred size. There's a limited supply of sizes (small, medium, large, Xlarge). Get your's click on the orange Donate button.
Feel Free To Contact Us!

You haven't seen your beloved older brother in years. Then he shows up at the airport, weighing hundreds of pounds more than the last time you saw him. That's the premise of Lionel Shriver's new novel, Big Brother. A touchy topic for our ever-widening times? Oh yeah – and meant to be. "We've lost our innocence about food," the fit-looking Shriver told me over tea and biscotti at Washington's Dupont Circle Hotel on June 11. "What we use food for …

School's out. It's the time of year that was once reserved for kids to help their on their family farms to maintain and pull in the crops. Now, it's a time of leisure, play and (with any luck) visits to the grandparents. However, research shows that kids lose ground academically during the summer months unless they use the skills they learn in school throughout the year. Some studies suggest that the loss is up to three months of in-classroom work. …

On the other hand, the four cities that held ranked choice voting elections in 2014 demonstrated the value of change -- and momentum is building.

"Nordstrom's commission structure rewards top performers, but barely pays subsistence wages otherwise; watch your back. "
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I have been working at Nordstrom
There is a lot of cache to working at Nordstrom. People are really impressed because it is considered high end and has been named (in the past, at least) "one of the top 100 companies to work" for. If you want to be around a lot of glossy upscale merchandise in a sparkling department store environment, then look no further.
You will get a whopping 20% discount off your purchases as an employee. And after 1,000 hours of full time work you will be eligible to sign up for health insurance and other benefits. Eventually, you will earn paid time off at your non-sale rate of $9 an hour.
You will gain excellent product knowledge at Nordstrom because the company wants you to be "the fashion expert." You will learn a lot about the merchandise so you can up sell and cross sell.
You will receive business cards that help your customers remember you and provide you a polished presentation.
You will look your best every day because the dress code is enforced. If you work in a department that sells jeans, you may be allowed to wear denim to work. Otherwise, it's close toed shoes, no denim or jeans, no sleeveless tops or bare shoulders, no printed tees. Professionalism is the key. You will see the occasional leggings and tops on women; men will wear jackets, sweaters, and ties. Expect to accessorize and to pick up a lot of tips on how to stay fashion forward.
It is said that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. While this is possible, it is not a given. Not everyone moves up. If you are right out of college or if you intern at Nordstrom you will have a better chance for promotion because you are more mobile and have fewer obligations.
Your commission is calculated minus your returns for up to a full year later. Total truth. Check it out. Example: A customer buys a Gucci handbag in December then returns it next August. You have to take it back and that commission comes out of your pay even if it's 12 months later. Ask yourself why the sales staff is so over-the-top nice to customers and remember that next time you shop there.
Watch your coworkers. They are supposed to "save your sale" when a return comes to the counter, but they can exchange your merchandise then ring it up as their sale when you are not there. This is technically commission fraud, but there are all kinds of "extenuating circumstances" and excuses that people use to justify it. Even managers do it. And, yes, it can get ugly. Watch for those managers who take over sales from their own staff, especially new hires who don't know how to speak up. Managers have all kinds of excuses for doing this such as "I was actually the one who made that sale happen," or "Because I had to service your customer, I get the sale." Remember, managers are paid partly on commission and have sales quotas too.
Commissions paid are calculated by how much you sell per hour. As a commissioned sales associate, you are paid a draw against commission, so every single hour you work you have to sell ten or more times your hourly wage to cover that draw Nordstrom pays you. They start calculating your sales 40 minutes before the store opens and 40 minutes after it closes. And during those times you are unable to sell because the store is closed. Clearly, this policy unfairly reduces your commission.
Get used to being a drone if you are not a top seller. Mr. Nice Guy does not come in first at Nordstrom, regardless of what they say. You might be asked to come in from 7:30am-9:30am, then work that same day from 1pm-Close, then open the next morning at 8:30am. Yes this really happens
Bottom line, if you can live on $11-$13 an hour then go for it. We compared paychecks and occasionally the best sales associates make $15. Sales or special event bump it up. If you are in the top 10% of sellers you will earn more, but watch out for those returns. They can even be in the thousands of dollars in one day.
Management will entice you with the tremendous growth potential at Nordstrom, but that really only applies if you are mobile and willing to relocate at a moment's notice. Do not plan on moving up soon if you want to stay in the same city.
Advice to Management
Blake Nordstrom and store managers:
The Inverted Pyramid sounds good on paper but is worthless in practice. Customers are at the top, fair enough. But the next level--the sales associates--are stuck in a tightrope walk between pleasing management and customers.
Personal Book also sounds good on paper, but there is not enough training, nor is there enough time to effectively use it.
Your staff feels, and rightly so, that department management are being protected and so team members take a big risk when they speak up. It's their word against yours, and guess who comes out ahead most of the time? The "no retaliation" policy may be explicit, but there are numerous ways around it. It's a shame because you stand to lose good, talented, hardworking people who hired on with the best of intentions. And your good will and reputation become tarnished in the process.
Scrutinize your department managers to see who is losing their team members and ask yourself why. What percentage of new hires stick around? Why does someone who is so "productive" lose so many people? Why is there a pattern? Are people dealt with fairly? Is there a climate of distrust and criticism? Are new hires misled about duties and schedules, misled about commissions that are changed after hire, misled about realistic earnings? Making book means a lot to a publicly-held company, but high turnover and loss of morale will cost you in the long run. If you are lucky, your customers (and shareholders) won't notice that there is constant change and that more bright and shiny people have replaced the old ones...for now.

Secreted signals, known as morphogens, provide the positional information that organizes gene expression and cellular differentiation in many developing tissues. In the vertebrate neural tube, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) acts as a morphogen to control the pattern of neuronal subtype specification. Using an in vivo reporter of Shh signaling, mouse genetics, and systems modeling, we show that a spatially and temporally changing gradient of Shh signaling is interpreted by the regulatory logic of a downstream transcriptional network. The design of the network, which links three transcription factors to Shh signaling, is responsible for differential spatial and temporal gene expression. In addition, the network renders cells insensitive to fluctuations in signaling and confers hysteresis--memory of the signal. Our findings reveal that morphogen interpretation is an emergent property of the architecture of a transcriptional network that provides robustness and reliability to tissue patterning.

Making good on its promise to investors to turn its 2011 purchase of NBCUniversal into a cross-platform-advertising powerhouse, Comcast has pulled back the veil to its broad, multi-media advertising product, which it calls "Symphony."
Consumer activist publication The Consumerist has once again taken aim at Comcast, reporting that the cable giant conducted a manipulative "push poll" in response to a negative customer satisfaction survey published by the City of Philadelphia in April.
Comcast announced Tuesday that it has redesigned its subscriber support forums in efforts to improve its customer service reputation.
Just one day after Consumer Reports found declining consumer satisfaction among American consumers using pay-TV services, the American Customer Satisfaction Index released a report nearing mirroring the unhappy findings. In the annual independent survey of 70,000 U.S. consumers, Verizon FiOS finished atop pay-TV services, with its "71" score rising 4 percent over 2014 and placing just ahead of AT&T U-verse.
Despite well-backed pledges to change behavior by the No. 1 operator, Comcast, the cable industry continues to deliver terrible scores in key customer satisfaction polls. But in the rankings of those packaging TV and Internet services, mid-sized, Midwest-dispersed cable operator Mediacom finished dead last, just behind Time Warner Cable.
St. Louis-based mid-sized cable operator Suddenlink Communications has become the latest MSO to integrate Hulu into its program guide.
Comcast has issued a memo to customers in the Atlanta area, warning them about rate increases set to take effect July 1.
Cablevision has filed its second advertising-related lawsuit against Verizon in the last five months, defending a TV commercial that claims Verizon's FiOS service partially relies on cable to deliver video and Internet into residences.
Describing Canoe's upward trajectory, Chris Pizzurro, head of product sales and marketing for the joint venture, breaks out the old hockey-stick metaphor. For anyone who has been closely following the trajectory of Canoe's puck, this is a bit of a surprise. FierceCable 's Daniel Frankel chats with Pizzurro about Canoe's VOD DAI aspirations.
Yet another industry trade group has purged the word "cable" from its branding, with the Cabletelevision Advertising Bureau announcing Monday that it is incorporating broadcasters and re-monikering as the Video Advertising Bureau.

1993 Acura Integra Q&A
1993 Acura Integra Question: Shift Linkage Problems? Can't Remove Key.
Only during the colder months, my key remains locked in the ignition & the Park indicator light does not illuminate. I have to wait about 5 minutes for the Park indicator to illuminate, which then allows me to remove the key. According to a Honda blog it could be a shift linkage problem. It's a recall item on some types of Hondas. Why is this not a recall item on 1993 Integras? Any Ideas to fix the problem? I've already WD40 the key & ignition and the Acura Dealer made a new factory key. Both without success. Again, key removal is fine during warmer seasons. - Alpha-Zero
Answer 1
The shift lock solinoid is at the shift level itself under the center console. With the ignition key on when you put your foot on the brake you should hear a clicking each time you press the brake from the center console. Maybe disassemble the center console and see that dust, dirt or spilled soda or coffee has not gummed up the linkage or solenoid. - patrick mannion

Perfect for The Penny Pinching Bride - Like Me :)Reviewed on 5/28/2015 Candice K
The Rose Chapel is absolutely beautiful. I was personally looking for that "vintage" feel, and this was perfect for that. The price is unbelievably affordable, and the staff is so helpful. If something goes "wrong" on the day-of, you won't even know about it until days later! They don't hesitate when making the day about you. If you have a taste for vintage, old fashioned class, this is it!

Simone was usually my go to person by email and she always answered my questions within a day. We made a few changes the day of the wedding (moving the ceremony indoors versus out in the courtyard) and they didn't miss a beat. We've never met so many people who were as excited as we were about the wedding. Their enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you, Jan for all your help on the day of. It was amazing being able to "relax" and not having to worry about all the little and big things. Highly recommended. Everyone kept telling us how beautiful the chapel was and the grounds.

Had my evening wedding there in June! Staff was wonderful. We loved how intimate the chapel felt! Acoustics were great, no microphones needed. We chose not to decorate and no one noticed. the chapel itself has nice architectural elements, it doesn't need it. Great place!

The Rose Chapel is a wondeful place to get married they are there from beginning to end. The price was vey reasonable for the amount of time and space I was able to setup everything I wanted and needed.
Looks can be deceivingReviewed on 5/25/2011 Liz C
The Rose Chapel is not in the best of neighborhoods, I'll be the first to admit that... BUT once you get past all that, you will find an adorable chapel, beautiful garden, amazing ballroom and the sweetest staff you could ever ask for. I think I may have called them about 15 times the week of my wedding, but everytime they were always super excited to help me out with whatever I needed. We had our ceremony in the garden, and you could not have asked for a better back drop for pictures it was breath taking. Our reception was in the ballroom, so convient.. It is literally 10 steps away, so we could get our party started without any delay. Oh and they can provide all of the linens for your tables and they even have centerpieces you can use (at a small fee of course), we chose to go with our own floral centerpieces and the set up looked perfect. The best part about booking The Rose Chapel was I knew where my hard earned money was going... right back into the building. They are a non-profit venue and its actually called Preservation Hall. All of the moneies from the rental of the facility go back into preserving it for future generations of brides. It is a truly beautiful venue and you will not be disappointed if you choose this for your upcoming wedding.

Title: Are Prunus minutiflora male and female flowers on different plants?
Answered by: Nan Hampton and Joe Marcus
QUESTION:I have a Prunus minutiflora and have recently learned the male and female flowers are on separate plants. How can I determine if I have a male or female plant?
When I first read your question I thought to myself: "I didn't know that. I think I better check several sources to confirm that Prunus minutiflora (Dwarf plum or Texas almond) is dioecious, i.e., with male and female flowers on different plants." I found the Aggie-Horticulture site that says: "It is dioecious, that is, male and female flowers are on separate plants. Apparently, staminate (male) plants are more numerous than the pistillate (female)." Next I thought I should also check this statement in Correll and Johnston. 1979. Manual of the Vascular Plants of Texas. Things got a little confusing when I read that they wrote that all Prunus species have "perfect flowers", i.e., they have both stamens (male parts) and pistils (female parts). They do say that the flowers have numerous stamens, but there is only one pistil per flower. I could not find information in any of the other numerous print sources that I have for Texas plants that the tree is dioecious so I assumed that the Aggie-Horticulture site was in error. I decided to check with our staff authority, Joe Marcus, who provided the following reference: THE PUBESCENT-FRUITED SPECIES OF PRUNUS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES by Silas C. Mason in The Journal of Agricultural Research (1913) vol. 1, no. 2. On page 152 of this paper Mason states that three of the Prunus spp. discussed in paper [Prunus fasciculata (Desert almond), Prunus microphylla (Mexican wild almond) and Prunus minutiflora (Dwarf plum)] share the following feature which makes them dioecious (male and female flowers on separate plants):
"The California desert almond (Prunus fasciculata), the Texas wild
almond (P. minutiflora), and the Mexican wild almond (P. microphylla),
agree in three important characters which separate them clearly from
the three other species of this group. All three are dioecious by the abortion
of either stamens or pistils; the number of the stamens is usually
reduced to 10 or 15 and a portion of them inserted on the walls of the
calyx cup."
So, even though the flowers have the potential to be perfect flowers, either the stamens or the pistil of the flower becomes non-functional so that each individual plant has all its flowers functioning as males or all its flowers functioning as females.
On page 174 you will find a description of the botanical characteristics of Prunus minutiflora that includes this statement:
"The minute flowers, borne singly or paired, on short peduncles, are usually crowded
on short, budlike fruiting spurs. They appear with the leaves in February or March
and are minute and dioecious by the abortion of the stamens in the fruiting form and
of the pistils in the opposite form."
On page 173 of this paper you can see line drawings of both pistillate flowers and staminate flowers of P. minutiflora. By comparing the drawings to the flowers on your tree you should be able to determine if your tree is male or female. Unfortunately, that is the only way I know that you will be able to tell unless your tree has recently borne fruit—in that case, it is definitely a female.
In the two photos that we have showing flowers of P. minutiflora in our Image Gallery (see below) you can see the many stamens, but there are NO pistils to be seen. This is easier to see if you can zoom in on the flowers in the photos. I did search the internet for photos of female flowers of P. minutiflora, but could find none.
