Want to save money? Check out the 2012 Infiniti M
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.9
As the flagship sedan from Nissan's prestige division, the 2013 Infiniti M delivers A-list levels of luxury, style and performance, with an accent on performance. On the value front, the Infiniti M offers a host of upscale features as standard issue along with more standard horsepower than its BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Lexus GS and Audi A6 competitors. Its ride quality may not exceed theirs, but that's a trade-off Infiniti accepted to ensure a dynamic driving experience. The 2013 Infiniti M lineup features an enticing array of models and drivetrains to choose from, including the value-packed M37, the 420-horsepower M56, a fuel-efficient hybrid version, and an available performance-oriented all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
If you're willing to have your luxury mid-size sedan give up some ride smoothness in return for sharp-reacting handling, you might find the Infiniti M's particular blend of performance, luxury and value tough to beat.
Despite its elegant design, the Infiniti M does not command the same status as its BMW and Audi rivals. And though class-leading horsepower is nice, if you value class-leading fuel efficiency even more, you will be looking elsewhere.
For 2013, the
Infiniti M line gets only a few feature and package tweaks. Auto-dimming outside mirrors and an auto-close trunk lid are now standard, there's a new Performance Tire and Wheel package, and the Sport package can now be ordered on AWD models as well as the rear-wheel drivers (RWD).
The 2013 M is truly a blast on the road. With three eager powertrains, a comfortable interior and an impressive array of new and innovative technology, there's precious little to...
... complain about – as long as you understand the car's sporting bias means ride smoothness is not up to pure-luxury-car standards. Technologies like 4Wheel Active Steer and downshift rev-matching enhance the car's fun-to-drive quotient, while lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring subtly help keep you safe. And the interior's a pretty nice place to spend time – the seats are supportive, the dash intuitive and the M's iPod connectivity and searchability are among the best. The M Hybrid, which Infiniti claims is the world's fastest full-hybrid, delivers on its promise of combining the fuel efficiency of a hybrid with the engaging driving dynamics of a performance sedan.
Every Infiniti M features Active Noise Control to minimize aural unpleasantries caused by the engine. A ceiling-mounted microphone detects low-frequency noise and the system then generates similar-but-out-of-phase frequencies to cancel each other out.
For increased agility and control at any speed, the 2013 Infiniti M employs an optional 4Wheel Active Steer feature that seamlessly adjusts the steering angle of all four wheels according to speed and driver input.
Outfitted in rich, warm leather and high-quality soft-touch materials, the 2013 Infiniti M delivers an inviting in-cabin experience. The M's spacious greenhouse comfortably accommodates its occupants, who enjoy 10-way power-adjustable and heated front seats, leather-trimmed seating surfaces and generous rear-seat legroom. The available Deluxe Touring Package adds a 16-speaker Bose audio system, a suede-like headliner and striking White Ash wood trim sprinkled with flecks of real silver. The only sour note is the all-in-one control knob's inconvenient placement high on the center stack where you can't rest your arm while operating it.
Combining a muscular stance and a sleek profile, the 2013 Infiniti M is among the most stylish cars in its class. Its modern look is complemented by xenon headlights for both the low and high beams along with LED taillights. All Infiniti M models ride on standard 18-inch split 5-spoke wheels, while the Sport Package (now available on both RWD and AWD models) offers fender-filling 20-inch wheels. That Sport Package also adds a touch of aggression to the M's exterior with smoked surrounds for the grille and headlights, unique front end, larger brakes and performance summer tires.
The 2013 Infiniti M37 and Hybrid models come standard with Drive Mode Selector (Standard, Eco, Sport and Snow modes), leather seating, heated power front seats, a 6-speaker audio system with USB connectivity, Bluetooth, active noise control, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a 7-inch color display for audio/climate/vehicle settings, and keyless entry and start. Moving up to the M56 adds a 5.6-liter V8, cooled front seats, a Bose 10-speaker sound system, a navigation system with SiriusXM NavTraffic and NavWeather, a 9.3GB hard drive for music storage and Bluetooth streaming audio. Safety equipment on every Infiniti M includes active head restraints and six airbags.
Any Infiniti M can be outfitted to your liking, thanks to available Premium, Deluxe Touring and Technology Packages. Creature comforts include a 16-speaker Bose Studio Surround System, power rear sunshade, silver-metallic wood trim, and a "Forest Air" system that provides a clean breeze through the cabin. The Technology Package includes adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning and prevention, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and adaptive front lighting. The Sport Package (for all but the Hybrid) adds 20-inch wheels with summer tires, a sport-tuned suspension, 4-wheel active steering, sport brakes, magnesium paddle shifters, sport seats and special exterior trim.
The 2013 Infiniti M comes with a choice of three engines: a 330-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 (the same engine found in the G37), a 420-horsepower 5.6-liter V8, or a gas/electric hybrid powerplant using a 3.5-liter V6 and electric motor for a total of 360 horsepower. All these engines mate to a 7-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode that, on the non-hybrid models, includes a race-inspired downshift rev-matching feature. Unfortunately, all that great horsepower comes at a cost; EPA fuel economy ratings are only average for the category, and our real-world driving experience confirms both the M37 and M56 have a healthy appetite for fuel. Adding AWD to the M knocks off another mpg or two.
3.7-liter V6
330 horsepower @ 7,000 rpm
270 lb-ft of torque @ 5,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/26 mpg (RWD), 17/24 mpg (AWD)
5.6-liter V8
420 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
417 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm

"Nice car, handles well. The trunk is small and it has left me stranded 3 times in 2 years. The dealer has been excellent picking me up and leaving me with a loaner. It has someting to do with the battery not charging and needing a computer update. It is very nice looking and is fun to drive. There is a lot of road noise so it is difficult hearing normal conversations if you are hard of hearing like my husband............"

"The driving experience in this car is fantastic. The car is very fast, and is nimble for a car this size. It is very quiet on the highway. It is the best blend of performance and comfort. The biggest downside of this car is that it depreciates rather quickly. Although the initial value is great, the resale value is disappointing. I would purchase one lightly used that has been pampered and let the first owner eat the depreciation. Also the dealer experience is not up to Lexus quality. Overall I would strongly recommend this car to someone looking for all of the comforts of a premium sedan with the edginess of a sports car."

A Peek Inside a Busy Woman's Fit KitchenBreakfast, Fitness, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Main Course, Recipes
By Fitness Editor Paula Jager CSCS
Fall is here, no doubt about it even here in sunny Florida, and I am getting into the swing of the seasonal shift in culinary pleasures in my personal fit kitchen. It was an enjoyable but extremely busy summer. If you follow the fitness posts on this blog, you may know we moved our CrossFit box to a new location and have experienced some serious growing pains along with the trials and tribulations of the construction process. All good.
Whether you've experienced something similar or have 12 children we are ALL busy in our lives and everyday frenzied pace. So what do we do — buy Swanson fake chicken broth, use processed vegetable oil and hit the drive-thru? Of course not but how does one keep up with or maintain the healthy traditional diet for ourselves and families in these light of these busy times along with keeping up our fitness? It ain't easy but I'd like to share my tips and recipes for what's going on in my fit kitchen and hear about yours. . .
Fit Kitchen: The Larder
We have got to keep this stocked; that is key. After moving into our new location July 1 and barely having time to breathe let alone make bone broth come the beginning of September mine was empty–it was time to restock. Over the course of three weekends (only time I have) I made beef stock on the first one, rendered tallow and pureed fresh pumpkins the next and finally made turkey stock out of the carcass in my freezer from the August bird we cooked on the third. The larder was filling up and looking much better.
You need to pick a day/time that works for you. Choosing the weekend allowed me to let the stock simmer or the fat slowly melt while I could also throw in a load of laundry or catch up on work tasks on the computer. I only chose one or two tasks per weekend. I penciled them in ahead of time thus planning out the month. If my platter gets overloaded, I find that nothing gets completed or completed well.
Fit Kitchen: The Workouts
It's not important what you do just so that you get in some type of exercise or movement. Pick an activity that works best for you–be it the gym, videos, chasing/playing with your children, walking etc. . . Just Do It! Yes, I am quoting Nike. Pencil it in, make the time–it will save your sanity, health and well being. No excuses period. Make it work.
With the larder stocked and the Wods scheduled I then took to recreating my recipes. Some of my seasonal favorites are. . .
Stew & Biscuits
Yes, you read that right, "we eat biscuits". As much as Sarah & I love and respect each other's beliefs she knows I won't touch today's wheat– traditionally prepared or not (I have an intolerance to gluten), but I do love my biscuits. These are pretty tasty if you are grain free too.
Basic Beef Stew (4-6 servings)
1 lb beef chuck, cubed
2 Tbl beef tallow or duck fat
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbl tomato paste
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
3-4 carrots, coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1 heaping cup green beans, snipped and cut into pieces
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into ½" pieces
2 cups homemade beef stock
1 Tbl arrowroot powder (grain free thickener)
2 tsp cold water
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Heat tallow in a large cast iron dutch oven over medium heat. Add beef; sauté until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate. Add onions and sauté for about 4 minutes; add garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes. Return beef and any juices to pot; stir in tomato paste, then add broth and enough water to just cover. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until beef is tender, about 1 ½ hours.
Add carrots, mushrooms, potatoes and green beans. Cover partially; simmer about 30-45 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove the lid and allow to thicken slightly.
In a small bowl, mix arrowroot and water and stir into stew. Increase heat and bring to a slight boil for 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Plantain Biscuits (makes 7 hearty biscuits)
2 TBL lard or duck fat
2 very ripe plantains (black)
¼ grassfed butter, melted
3 eggs
1 tbs raw cream
3 tbs coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 F. Peel plantains, cut in half lengthwise and crosswise. In a large cast iron skillet melt the lard over medium heat and fry the plantains until they are just golden — about 3-4 mins per side.
After cooked, add them to a food processor and puree until they begin to clump together. Add the melted butter, eggs and cream and puree until smooth. Add the flour and baking powder and pulse one last time to combine everything well.
Drop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a cast iron biscuit pan. I made 7 good sized biscuits. Bake for 25-30 min or until slightly brown and cooked through. Let cool and settle some before eating.
We served with grass fed butter alongside the stew. The slight sweetness of the biscuits was an excellent complement.
Pumpkin Pecan Pie Grain Free Pancakes (kids & husbands love these!)
6 eggs
1 cup of fresh pumpkin**
2 tsp of vanilla
3 Tbl Grade B maple syrup
¾ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ginger
¼ tsp allspice
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp sea salt
½ tsp baking soda
1/3 cup chopped pecans
3 tbs of melted butter or coconut oil (your choice)
Coconut oil for cooking
**I prepare this ahead of time and freeze in pre-measured bags to make easier.
In a large mixing bowl whisk eggs; add pumpkin, vanilla and maple syrup and mix well. Add in the spices and the butter or coconut oil. Again mix well. Stir in chopped pecans.
I used a cast iron griddle to cook these which worked very well. Place coconut oil on griddle over medium heat. Using a "gravy" ladle drop the pancake batter onto your ready griddle. As they thin they will be about 3-4" in diameter. When bubbles begin to surface it's time to flip. Cook until lightly browned.
Be creative when serving: I liked them plain, hubby liked them with maple syrup and more butter. Another idea is fresh whipped raw cream or yogurt. And of course serve with a side of sausage or bacon!
Enjoy the flavors of Fall in your Fit Kitchen!

Melanie Kempton Zoellner, This reminds me of your kitchen!
Elizabeth Barber LeDoux via Facebook
This looks shelf-stable. We freeze all our broth. I should look into canning it. Hmmm.
Cindy Feroe Leonard via Facebook
This looks just like my kitchen! Add in there several mason jars of yummy yogurt too.
Hello, when you write 1 cup of fresh pumpkin is it grated fine or processed to mush like from the can? Not sure about this step. Please explain this more to me, thanks.
Pumpkin Pancakes – I would like to know this too please. Is the pumpkin grated raw, or cooked and mashed? Thanks.
It's mentioned in the Fit Kitchen: The Larder section of this post.
"pureed fresh pumpkins…"
Rebecca C
I want to add that you can make bone broth and render fat on work days too by using the crock pot. I leave bone broth on for a few days at times when I am busy, it always turns out great. Rendering fat takes a long time in the crock pot, but it is hands-off time. I bake pumpkin in the oven until it is soft, then puree it with water in the blender. Then I put it in the crock pot overnight to reduce and concentrate. I am thinking of buying a second crock pot as mine is always busy.
Thank you Paula for these recipes. Do you have a carb/protein count on them? I wonder if you had already done that homework. I have a diabetic to think about as well.
shawna lange
I make my bone broth frequently but don't have much freezer space. How do i store it in jars as shown in the picture? does it have to be refrigerated, or can it be canned?
I can my broth as my freezers are pretty full. Most are pressure canned at 10 lbs. for 20 min (pints) or 25 min. (quarts).
Does canning/pressure canning bone broth not take it beyond the temps it can handle to maintain nutrition? we never bring ours past a simmer. I'd hate to destroy nutrients by canning BUT I too am running low in freezer space in my 3 freezers. (not 12 but 7 children and my freezers are full of grass fed, beef, chicken and pork, a little wild fish plus all the berries we need everyday and bones and broth, only 3 kids at home now but when you buy whole and 1/2 animals you never have an empty freezer!!) I would love to can my bone broth if I could maintain nutrition.
The recipes look wonderful. Is there not any coconut flour in the pancakes?
No flour at all
Thank you for the recipe inspiration! We had the pancakes tonight for dinner, using canned pumpkin, as that's what I had on hand. In fact, i was missing a few ingredients and was cooking for 8 people (only a half-dozen children! hee hee!), so here's my streamlined recipe in case it helps anyone else with a crowd:
18 eggs
2 cans pumpkin
2T almond extract
1/2 cup maple syrup
2t allspice
1t salt
2t baking soda
1 stick butter, melted
Wonderful recipes, Paula ! I love that cream and butter
do not scare you…. lol
Hope you will share more in the future..
Raw cream and butter make me happy:)
I will definitely be trying the biscuits – they look awesome!!
Here is another plaintain recipe I love: my favorite way to eat this is with toasted marshmallows and homemade chocolate syrup:
Parrish Smith
Thank you! I'm on the GAPS diet and these look like they will pretty much fit the bill!! YUM!! I can't wait to try them :O)
In the biscuit recipe, you have "1/4 grassfed butter, melted." 1/4 what? pound? cup? tablespoon?
Sorry, typo. 1/4 cup grassfed butter, melted. Busy woman edited too fast:)
And what if you are allergic to coconut as well as celiac AND ckicken eggs? I can eat duck eggs but chose to limit them. Oh yes, nut allergies too.
Sounds like some of these recipes may not be for you then.
Paula, thanks so much. I'm a mom and grandma cooking for 3 paleo generations! It's nice to have a few non-grain goodies in my repertoire.
Fitness Editor Paula Jager, CSCS Owner of Crossfit Jaguar
Hmmm, I bet it would be–the sweet/salt complement. I don't think I've tried anything that's not better with bacon grease!
Yum to all ideas! Not intolerant of grains but always looking for new ideas for our 1 1/2 year old, who has not had grains yet. She loves pancakes made with coconut flour. Question: do you think bacon grease would be tasty in the plantain biscuits?
Pat in TX
lol – 12 kids?!!! Thank you for the suggestions and the recipes; they were all excellent, Paula! I look forward to trying all of the recipes, but I admit I am prob going to try the pancakes first!! I too cooked several pumpkins recently; it is a favorite fall ritual:-)
Fitness Editor Paula Jager, CSCS Owner of Crossfit Jaguar
I was thinkig of you Pat:) Hubby ate a double stack of those pancakes yesterday — hope your family enjoys!
Sarah, The Healthy Home Economist
Paula, thanks for sharing these recipes which look very tantalizing! Even though we do eat grains in our home, those plantain biscuits are very tempting and I will be trying those out pronto.

Janae and I go way back. I've known her since she was 5.
Now she is a mother of an adorable little girl! And I am so proud of the amazing mother she's become!
While Brooke wasn't too excited to smile for the camera, we were able to get some beautiful and fun pictures anyway.
Brooke and her mom are very photogenic, so it makes my job just a little easier ;)
Lots of love,
Getting in Style
I have the awesome chance to be a stylist photographer for my adorable friend, Jenn. I am very excited for this new opportunity. I am changing things up a bit with my website and business very soon and can't wait to show off the new me! In the mean time, enjoy these fun shots!
We did about a 20 minute shoot at our community pool with this one, where Jenn modeled this adorable swim skirt.
Next we went, "back to school" and Jenn rocked this adorable tie and skirt!
Lots of love!

I've been trying various options to incorporate a free offer on a test paid site. (by the way I have deactivated all plugins at one point to try to get this to work). I'm using S2Member as the payment gateway along with a php exec plugin (tried a couple - doesn't make any difference). I've set up a page where a user can enter a coupon (say, 'free')- this is what it looks like:
Welcome blah blah
<form id="voucherForm" method="post" action="paidpage">
<input name="voucher" type="text" maxlength="15" value=""/>
<input id="saveForm" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
So key in the voucher 'free' and it goes to the payment page
On the paid page I have the following:
Welcome blah blah
if (isset($_GET['voucher'])) {
echo "Voucher is set!";
if ($_GET['voucher'] == 'free') {
echo "And, voucher is 'free'. Must redirect!";
header("Location: freepage");
} else {
echo "now show the payment form...";
// Show the payment form page.
It doesn't matter what I put on the original form I just get:
now show the payment form... etc
Any ideas where I am going wrong? Certainly it appears the voucher is not being included into the forwarding url from the submit page and there are no other messages. Is this something to do with the way the server handles the request and how can I check this or could it be a template issue? etc etc etc
Many thanks.

Abstract:The City of Columbus, Ohio attempted two competitive initiatives in the recent past but failed to achieve sustained continuous improvements or employee buy-in. The work force was disgruntled, resistant to change, and skeptical of "another fad program." In addition, the union – management relationship was confrontational, cost of services was not competitive and escalating, and employee participation in continuous improvement was minimal.
To improve, labor and management jointly designed an improvement system that included Organization and Safety (5s), Standardized Work, Kaizen (continuous improvement) practices, Total Productive Maintenance, Team Concept and Visual Management to focus on the highest quality services at the lowest possible cost. The system relies on a structured yet easy to understand seven step method to identify and implement focused improvements. It emphasized training every employee to be capable of implementing productive change within his or her area of expertise.
The program started in the fall of 2000 and training of all 575+ employees was completed in December 2002. Two months after training was complete the utility achieved savings in operating costs of 8.4 million, no rate increase for five years, implemented over 430 employee improvements, produced about 250 Standardized Procedures, and established an operator PM (preventive maintenance) program. There were also significant reductions in lost time injuries, grievances and labor—management conflict. In fact, performance and relationship between labor and management was so significant that both the Mayor and City Council adopted it as a model continuous improvement program for other City Departments to follow.

PlayStation Vita gets updated to Firmware 1.52
Sony's launched a small Firmware update for PlayStation Vita units in Japan, bringing it to 1.52. We've verified the update is indeed there, having to download it myself onto my Japanese unit. SCEJ hasn't specified the reason why its pushed the update, but according to Andriasang, it's to fix a V1.51 update where Japanese 3G systems are unable to recognise the SIM card.
Vita launches on February 22 in Europe and the US.

The Land Rover Discovery Sport is a luxurious compact SUV that's designed to take on desirable models such as the BMW X3 and Audi Q5. Essentially a replacement for the ageing Freelander 2, the Discovery Sport is bigger and even more upmarket than its predecessor, plus it boasts a versatile seven-seat layout.
Externally, the Discovery Sport features a sleeker and more stylish look than the Freelander. In fact, with its rakish profile and slick detailing, the newcomer looks more closely related to the latest Range Rover models rather than the more humble Land Rover line-up. This theme continues inside, where you'll discover classy design and plenty of top-notch materials.
Many of the Discovery Sport's underpinnings are shared with the Range Rover Evoque, but the adoption of an all-new multi-link rear suspension set-up has allowed Land Rover's engineers to squeeze in the third row of seats. Also carried over from the Evoque are the tried and tested 2.2-litre diesel and the recently introduced nine-speed automatic gearbox, which is available as an option.

Here's the thing… if you're a friend or family member of mine you probably already know that I will blatantly rip off any recipe you make for me and reproduce it here on the blog. It's a house-rule like no fighting or clean up after yourself, I will steal your culinary ideas and share them with the world!! Future house-guests, consider yourself warned.
This salad is one such act of a thievery. We had some friends come over for dinner and they mentioned they'd bring a "grape salad". If I'm being honest, I had visions of my Mema's grape salad, which involves mayonnaise (I know, I know) and so I was pleasantly surprised by this refreshing and unique blend of flavors. The lemon juice and fennel seed add a totally great new flavor to boring old grapes and make the perfect side dish for a late summer evening. I wont even take credit, you can thank Debbie for this one!
What You'll Need
1 Bag of Green Seedless Grapes
1 Bag of Red Seedless Grapes – you can use all one color but I thought using both was prettier
The juice of one whole lemon
1 Tbls of Fennel Seeds
Wash the grapes thoroughly and remove from stems. Place in a large bowl and squeeze the juice of a whole lemon over the top
Mix grapes, lemon juice and seeds until well blended.
Store in the frige until ready to serve!

Program Management
While problems with other programs could lead to lengthy gaps in polar satellite coverage, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's GOES-R project is on track for 2015 launches.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's $10.7 billion program to replace its existing fleet of geostationary satellites received a favorable appraisal from an external team of aerospace experts, and is on pace to begin launch preparations by late 2015.
The program is called the GOES-R series -- short for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites -- and will put four new geostationary satellites into orbit about 22,000 miles above the Earth. The new satellites are expected to improve short-term weather forecasts like severe storms and tornadoes, and help detail long-term climatological trends.
NOAA seeks stopgap solutions to looming satellite issue
Satellites on borrowed time
"Severe weather was again a major story in America this year," said Mary Kicza, assistant administrator of NOAA's Satellite and Information Service. "Passing this Mission Critical Design Review gives us confidence that the GOES-R Program's development is progressing well and will be ready to carry the latest technology to help improve NOAA's weather forecasts."
NOAA's GOES-13, one of two operational geostationary satellites, proved highly useful to meteorologists during the Hurricane Sandy saga, sending 1,200 images to NOAA forecasters from Oct. 20-31 as the storm gained steam and slammed into the East Coast.
Geostationary satellites orbit at a much farther distance from the earth's surface than NOAA's aging polar-orbiting satellites, which feed observational data to prediction models and received attention recently as the scientific agency faced criticism over its program -- the Joint Polar Satellite System -- to replace them.
While not immune to criticism, the GOES-R program has not been pushed back or gone significantly above budget.
"We're just a few years away from seeing significant improvements in the way NOAA will serve the public with better weather forecasts and warnings," said Greg Mandt, director of the GOES-R Series Program. "That's something everyone should be excited about."
NOAA spokesman John Leslie said the new GOES-R satellites are expected churn out images quicker than today's geostationary satellites can, and in more than double the clarity. They will contain much more sophisticated instruments than its older counterparts, and will help meteorologists monitor the atmosphere, land, ocean, lightning activity and the sun.
In addition to four new satellites, Leslie said the $10.7 billion price includes a new ground system for data processing, information technology, new antenna systems, a remote backup facility in Fairmont, West Virginia and funding to keep the satellites operational and sustained through 2038.
In addition, the project includes upgrades to NOAA's Satellite Operations Facility in Wallops, Va., and funding for the Environmental Satellite Product and Distribution System (ESPDS) and Product Distribution and Access and Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewardship System, the GOES-R Proving Ground and other NOAA National Weather Service support activities.

I'm running Java SE Development Kit Update 25 (64-bit).
It appears that I'm unable to run both Eclipse and Minecraft at the same time. This is really really weird, since I can easily start two instances of Minecraft (but not of Eclipse).
I'm guessing that the reason for this bug is that Eclipse is looking for other instances of itself when it starts (because it doesn't want to start more than once).
Is there any way to fix this?

They call him Ragman.
Once a humble pawn-shop owner in Gotham City, Rory Regan is now a costumed superhero. Clothed in the mystical patchwork "suit of souls", he patrols the rooftops, protecting his city from miscreants. His crusade has seen him encounter fellow crimebusters Batman and Green Lantern. He is also the world's leading Jewish superhero.
The acclaimed New York artist Julian Schnabel never intended to make movies. But when concerns over the way a biopic about his late painter friend, Jean-Michel Basquiat, was going compelled him to take over and direct it himself, he became an accidental filmmaker. "I did it as a rescue mission," he says, "and had no intention of making another film. But it was just something that came very naturally to me."
Some musicians are content to tour the globe repeatedly performing the same handful of concertos. And then there is Nikolaj Znaider.
The 35-year-old, Danish-born violinist has everything a top international soloist could desire - phenomenal technique, fine-honed musicality, good looks, charisma and a Guarneri del Gesù violin that once belonged to the great Fritz Kreisler..
Jenny Lewis has had a few incarnations. Starting off as a child actress, she appeared in dozens of teen movies. She moved onto music and earned the title "princess" of indie-rock as frontwoman of the critically acclaimed band Rilo Kiley, before becoming a solo musician. Now, she has teamed up with her boyfriend, the singer-songwriter Johnathan Rice, to release a record under the does-what-it-says-on-tin name of Jenny and Johnny. Not that she had planned any of it.
David Cameron spent last week in China trying to stake Britain's claim to a piece of the Chinese ecomonic boom. One man who knows all about China's rapid industrial growth is the acclaimed Israel-born, UK-based photographer, Nadav Kander.
So much dust was kicked up by Mike Leigh's recent decision to cancel a cultural visit to Jerusalem and the West Bank that it almost obscured the fact that the outspoken veteran of stage and cinema has a new film out this week - and arguably one of his best, at that.
It was earlier this year, on his own wedding day, that film director Sam Leifer came up with an idea for his next project. In keeping with tradition, straight after the ceremony he and his new wife went to the yichud room for their first secluded moment together as man and wife.
"After 10 years together, it seemed slightly unnatural to be in that situation," says Leifer. "It was almost a question of, what do we talk about?"
For Evgeny Kissin, the piano is no longer the only means of communication. Renowned worldwide since performing both Chopin concertos as a 12 year old, Kissin has always avoided politics and controversy. Unlike musicians such as Daniel Barenboim, Kissin has stuck to his artistry.
But he has decided that "as a Jew" he must now change that. "After all this time of anti-Israel hysteria, I felt that I had to raise my voice." He dipped his toe in the water earlier this year with an open letter to the BBC about its coverage.
'I have an attraction to monsters," declares Martin Sherman. The 71-year-old playwright says this partly by way of playful confession.
Can he reveal which monsters?
"I can't," he responds with a wry smile, as if naming names would disclose too much about himself.
Josh Howie jokes about circumcision, the Holocaust and Jewish attitudes to money. Shazia Mirza makes fun of suicide bombers, imams and Islamophobia.
For both comedians, the prime aim is to make audiences laugh. But they are aware that by being funny about such sensitive subjects, they can demonstrate humour's capacity to break down religious and racial barriers .

Barrett's Esophagus
Dear OncoLink:
I am curious to know of any genetic studies of Barrett's esophagus. I now have two families in my practice that have three family members with Barrett's. They are of Irish ancestry and have names of similar origin. Any information would be appreciated.
Kenneth Blank, MD and John Han-Chih Chang, MD, Editorial Assistants for Oncolink, respond:
Dear OncoLink Reader:
Thank you for your question.
To the best of our knowledge there is no definitive proof demonstrating a genetic disposition to Barrett's esophagus. Barrett's esophagus refers to a pathologic change of the epithelium (lining) of the lower esophagus. The relationship between Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer is not clear but adenocarcinoma of the esophagus often occurs in areas along the esophagus where Barrett's is present. However, there are cases of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus without Barrett's esophagus present, but some feel this is because the cancer has overgrown the Barrett's.

Cine Grand Fremont 7
39160 Paseo Padre Parkway,
1 person favorited this theater
Opened in the mid-1990's as the Super Saver 7, this was a bargain house operated by Silver Cinemas in the Fremont Gateway (formerly Fremont Fashion Center) shopping center. Total seating capacity was for 1,500.
After Silver Cinemas left, the Naz Cinemas moved here from their Fremont Hub location. It became a premier venue for Indian cinema, but from 2009, it has also programed some first and second run mainstream movies.
Taken over by Phoenix Big Cinemas in 2010, with renovations planned, it had closed by 2014. It reopened November 4, 2015 as the Cine Grand Fremont 7.
Recent comments (view all 9 comments)
The adress above is for the first Naz Cinema, which is better known as the Center theater. The current adress for the Naz Cinemas is 39160 Paseo Padre Pkwy, Fremont CA 94538.
There was also a single theater called Naz Cinema which was located at 37411 Fremont Boulevard. That theater is now occupied by a church.
Within the last month, they have now started showing some first & second run English language films, partly due to the fact that attendance for the Indian films has dropped considerably and also because Fremont has no other English language house with the Cinedome 8 being shuttered.
This theater is once again open, now called the Big Cinemas Fremont 7. Official site. They are planning a massive remodel in the coming months.
According to posted maximum occupancy signs, seating capacities for the auditoriums are as follows:
1 – 258
2 – 239
3 – 152
4 – 156
5 – 162
6 – 208
7 – 164
Total seats: 1339
I've posted information and photos from a recent visit here.
Official website: http://phoenixbigcinemas.com/
It looks like this particular theater in the chain is back to showing exclusively Bollywood films.
I can't find evidence that this theatre is open any longer.
I believe this location is due to be taken over by global exhibitor CineGrand.
The article below indicates that CineGrand put about $3 million into refurbishing and modernizing the place. It reopened in October 2015. I recall the place looking run down under the last few owners.
The new owners installed new digital projectors with Christie Vive Audio systems. Also, the individual auditoriums now have electric recliners and new carpeting. But, in the process it looks like they downsized the seating to 40 to 90 seats per auditorium. That's a huge decrease in capacity. But, the new owners seem intent on something more upscale than a megaplex.

Woman achieves Judo 10th degree black belt - at 98
98 year old woman just got her 10th level black belt in Judo. Only three people in the world, all men living in Japan, have ever reached that mark. The martial arts promotion by USA Judo brought 98-year-old Fukuda to tears at the women's dojo where she still teaches in Noe Valley. Last week, Sensei Keiko Fukuda of San Francisco became the first woman to be promoted to judo's highest level: 10th degree black belt. Video about Fukuda Keiko. [more inside]
The postman who delivered a palace
The story begins in 1879. Cheval, then 43 years old, had been working as a rural mail carrier in the southeast of France for 12 years. Because his daily routine involved walking about 20 miles (32km), mostly in solitude, he did a lot of daydreaming. One day (perhaps while his mind was elsewhere), he tripped over a small limestone rock. He picked up that stone and over the next 33 years went on to build his dream, Le Palais Idéal, an amazing fantasy palace. [more inside]

Olene Walker: Legacy without an heir
"Olene was very popular, but Huntsman had the name before he even got into politics," said veteran Utah pollster Dan Jones. "It really got controversial. … What really hurt Olene with the Republicans was her stand on (school) vouchers; she stood tough for education, and that was not what the Republicans wanted. So it would've been very difficult for Olene to beat Huntsman in a primary, but I don't have the research to prove that she couldn't have."
However, one poll in particular is enough to fuel speculation of what might have been: in March 2004, the Deseret News reported that in hypothetical head-to-head matchups alternately pitting Walker or Huntsman against Democrat gubernatorial candidate Scott Matheson Jr., Utah voters favored Walker over the Democrat by a significantly larger margin (55-35) than they preferred Huntsman to Matheson (47-40).
If Walker, the incumbent with an approval rating above 80 percent, had found a way to face and best Huntsman in a primary — if, say, she'd started seeking re-election sooner or acquiesced on her stand against school vouchers to be more in line with the state Republican delegates — Huntsman might not be running for president today.
Now retired and living in St. George, Walker still enjoys golfing as often as possible. At 80, she sits in the cart and takes oxygen while the other members of her foursome are hitting.
Since September 2009, Walker has been serving as the Primary president of her LDS ward. For nearly two hours every Sunday, she corrals, coaxes and teaches several dozen children ages 3-11. It's a calling that initially required significant adaptation for Walker — prior to her current church assignment, the last time she'd worked with the children in Primary had been 1968.
If retirement has slowed Walker's mind, it doesn't show. She travels frequently for her work with multiple committees ("I'm involved more than I would anticipate, but I'm willing to be involved so I can't complain"). Also, she stays abreast of politics in the Beehive State — to the extent that, during a recent impromptu phone conversation, she accurately cited from memory several precise statistics about her greatest political passion, education.
"I am concerned about the direction we're going in education, both higher and public," Walker said. "The legislature and everyone keeps saying it's a priority, but if you look at the funding, that's the area that we have decreased significantly (while) we've gone up in other areas like transportation and Medicaid.
"Clear back in the 90s, we were always in the top 10 percent of the percentage of our personal income going to education. We keep claiming that's our priority, but now we're now 27th in the nation in the percentage of our income we pay for education even though we have more children (per capita) than any other state."
Because Walker burst through such significant gender barriers, her place in the history of Beehive State politics is assured. But in some ways, her service eclipsed gender.
"Olene Walker's leadership style throughout her public career was characterized by even-handed, public-spirited common sense," said Leavitt, a member of the Deseret News Editorial Advisory Board who was thrice elected governor with Walker as his running mate. "She isn't an ideologue, but it would be a mistake to confuse that with a lack of clarity in her views. Her focus has always been the betterment of Utah, even if that meant political independence.
"Olene's legacy will be defined by a lifetime of relentless advocacy for better education, improved housing and sound economic judgment. She will always be seen as a trailblazer not just for woman, but for all public servants."
Today Utah is one of only five states where no woman holds statewide elected office or serves in Congress. But it wasn't so long ago when multiple women played prominent roles in Beehive State politics. During Walker's first two terms as lieutenant governor, 1993-2001, Jan Graham and DeeDee Corradini served as state attorney general and Salt Lake City mayor, respectively. Also, during 1993-97 females represented Utah in the U.S. House (first Karen Shepherd and later Enid Greene Mickelsen).
Unless and until another Utah woman wins a statewide or federal election, the issues of gender and legacy will remain inexorably intertwined for Walker. Asked to define her own political legacy as Utah's only female governor, her initial response included enthusiasm that a "viable candidate" like House Speaker Becky Lockhart is reportedly mulling gubernatorial aspirations. Then, though, Walker's tone changed course.
"I think there's still some mentality that women aren't capable of serving in those offices," Walker confessed. "I still think there's some concern, and there are some opinions that it's a man's job and only when they don't find a capable man to fill the role will they consider a woman. I think it's tradition that slowly will change, but I'm not certain it's changed sufficiently for a woman to be elected (governor).
"I hope I made some difference. … I hope I'm remembered as a person that cared about Utah and its future. I never felt I was a politician — and that may be naive, but I felt my focus was always on improving the state."

How could a hacker make my index.php a blank html page? How could it (perhaps a bug, me, or my server) become a blank html page by itself? I chmod everything to 644 in root and the wp-admin folder & items to 644. What else would I need to do and what other possible scripts could I do to secure my site. This has happened twice now! I was using Mambo before Word Press and it was hacked by a hacker, but if this is a hacker they aren't accomplishing anything other than making my index.php. Maybe, I don't know it's my host doing something? Could anyone help me with possibilities so that I can write a more informed letter or handle it myself.
