door panels..
Just got an email from the guy I bought my door panels from..they were returned by usps, damaged during shipment. The passenger front was cracked in half..the others had holes punched in them, tears everywhere.. :mad:
Anyways..Anyone know someone with dove grey front door panels? I've tried other forums, ebay, craigslist, scap yards..I'm at a loss.
About to say **** it and just go this route.. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1919473
That sux.
Those prices though are halfway to the cost of www.Allsherinteriors.com panels though. Besides, if you're going to paint them, does it REALLY matter if the aluminum is 'grain-cut'?
I've heard mixed reviews about allsher refurb work..supposedly it still bubbles :dunno:
Anyways, if I were to get those I'd have them anodized, not painted. My cars not going to be
at the track more than a few times a year though..seems kind of wasteful. Just getting fed up
with trying to source these panels..
Oh really? :eeps:
..they might be getting some business very soon..
Do they reupholster everything, or just the inserts?
What the hell did they do to the package to cause that kind of damage! :yikes:
Sent from my Galaxy Tab using BimmerApp
The entire door panel, including the insert, front and rear, but only coupe/cabrio panels.
Well....after doing a Google search for reviews, maybe they aren't who you want to deal with. The reviews are few, but universally bad. Maybe because the satisfied people didn't post reviews (??), since there was a 'group buy' in 2011 and ten signed up, only one posted a review, but for $1k+ you'd better get top quality work that lasts forever. The really troubling part is that no one seems to be able to contact them these days. :(
Which is odd, because they just had that piece written about them a few months back in Roundel. You'd think getting that kind of publicity in the BMW circle would only boost their business, and subsequently boost their presence.
Right up until a small business gets over inundated with requests. SO much so that they cannot keep up, or are 'forced' to make sacrifices in quality to meet demand.
If I see a two door "parts car" with perfect panels being sold for less than $1k it sounds like it'd be worth it to buy it solely for those?
You'd more than likely get the $1k back through parting out the remainder, yes.
I'll keep an eye on the parts cars around here then!

Is CES Still Important?
ARTICLE DATE : January 2, 2012
Just before Christmas, Microsoft announced that this would be the last CES show that it would participate in. It decided to withdraw from the show and instead rely on its outside marketing activities and future vertical shows to spread its messages in the marketplace.
This should not surprise many industry followers since CES has been losing support from most of the major PC players over the last few years. Apple has not been involved with CES for years and Dell left four years ago. Even HP has scaled back its involvement in the show this year. Lenovo, who has become the number two PC vendor worldwide, only uses private rooms off-site to hold meetings during CES. However, Toshiba, Acer, Asus and Sony still have a huge presence at CES and seem committed to the show.
There is a trend emerging among most of the major PC vendors. Instead of spending millions of dollars on booths and the staff needed to run them, more are renting private suites in hotels to use for press and customer meetings during the show. In past years, many companies that couldn't afford booths used private suites to show their wares, but now we see richer companies following suit.
Microsoft leaving the show, even though it too will use private suites to its advantage starting next year, is a major milestone. For over a decade, Bill Gates was the marquis attraction for the CES kick off keynote and for the last three years, that duty has fallen to Steve Ballmer. Now, that keynote will go to the highest bidder.
But if you think that all of this signals the decline of CES, think again. I have been going to CES since 1977 and this is the one trade show that has had real staying power. Comdex, PC Expo, and many other tech shows bit the dust. Even CeBIT in Hanover Germany, for decades the biggest tech trade show in Europe, has lost its tech luster. Yet, CES Las Vegas has remained the mainstay consumer tech tradeshow for the U.S. and most of the world. In fact, this year it expects over 150,000 attendees.
It is true that CES has had its ups and downs. In fact, for about a decade beginning in the mid-80s, CES was held twice a year. The big show was in Vegas in January and the mid-year show was in Chicago with a major gaming theme. During Comdex's heyday, interest in CES waned and attendance dropped dramatically.
As PCs became more consumer-focused, Comdex activity ebbed and CES became the major must-attend show for PC vendors. The market for PCs has changed dramatically in the last two years, however, and shows of this type are now less important to vendors.
Additionally, the show's date poses problems. In fact, Microsoft pointed this out when it discussed leaving the show. The event usually occurs the first week of January, which, if you think about it, is a lousy time to introduce a product. For the PC crowd, the optimal time would be mid-year so that it could build on these launches over the early fall and mount major campaigns in time for the holidays. Instead, vendors show off new some new stuff at CES in January and many times hold off on the really hot products to make sure they can actually raise consumer expectations closer to the holidays.
Although the date issue is brought up often to CES management, organizers seem content to continue to schedule the big industry splash in January. As far as I can tell, there is no change to that thinking in any way.
In short, the real reason this show is still relevant and important, even with the exodus of some of the big vendors, is the networking. In fact, I am told that most of the business done at the show is not on the convention hall exhibit floor but instead back in the private suites where the real high level meetings take place.
So, what will be the major themes for this year's CES?
Windows 8
Android Tablets
Smart TVs
There may be some new smartphones flaunted also but I hear that the big smartphone announcements will be reserved for the World Mobile Congress in Barcelona at the end of February.
Of course, there will also be surprises since many companies keep hush until the show begins. Hopefully, some unexpected new products will capture our attention.
While the products take center stage, it is the networking at this show that still makes CES an important trade show and the place to be for anyone in the industry in early January.

My Ride: 2001 M3
DIY: E46 M3 Front/Rear 6.5" Install
I've installed a lot of speakers in cars I've had over the years and the E46 M3 is the most challenging because the speaker fitment. I have a few 6.5" speakers laying around from previous vehicles so I decided to try each out to see what is the best solution. I also read through all the DIY's over the past few years trying to get this to work and this is what I came up with.
The outcome of this project is I spent $150 on the radio, $150 on the Amp, $100 on wire and $250 on the speakers and the stereo sounds great. The basic error I see in most of the DIYs is an incorrectly size speaker which means the front of the speaker aren't isolated from the rear resulting in no bass and very little midbass.
Here is some background of the full install.
Radio: I recently upgraded to a Sony MEX-BT4000P because I have the same one in my truck and liked the interface and options. The radio cost $150 and does everything you could want it to do. It even has a color setting called 'M-Red' which matches the car. Mounting the mic up in the top left corner by the windshield gave the best sound quality to those listening while driving. I bought the PAC controller so my steering wheel controls work too. When you wire up the harness, don't worry about hooking up any of the speaker wires since you will use RCAs.
SiriusXM Antenna: The best placement for this is on top of the cabin filter box under the hood. You can only see the antenna if you look through the black grill by the windshield and you know it's there. The signal never cuts out and it took 10 minutes to run the wire into the cabin using a rubber seal in the ABS compartment.
Amp: Alpine MRP-F300. Run 2 sets of RCAs from the back of the radio to the amp. $175 for AMP and RCA wire. My car was stripped of his NAV setup before I got it so the main harness was all that was left. For the front doors I cut and labeled the 2 sets of wires that from the harness to each woofer up front. For the rear 2 speakers I ran new wires since it was simple to do. The amp itself is installed under the carpet with the flat tire kit.
Front Door: I went with Alpine SPR-60C Type R component speakers and you should be able to get these for $150 for the pair. As you can see from the pictures I had to cut 3 notches on the speaker with a dremel that the round OEM ring would fit over the frame. I have found on the rear set that one of those multi-tools with the flat blade works 5x easier and makes less of a mess.
It is very important to seal the front of the speaker to the thin ring that clips to the front of the OEM speaker and the speaker opening on the door. If you do not do this, the front of your speaker will not be isolated from the back of the speaker and it will sound like crap. What I used to seal it was the black sealant that holds the dust shield to the actual door. I was careful not to get it onto the woofer itself. I'm sure there might be a better material to use but it's what I had at the time.
At first these didn't sound all that great because the speakers just didn't have enough air space behind them. Using a dremel as per another DIY, I carefully cut a hole in the door itself. I unscrewed the window frame to prevent from cutting it since it sits very close to the skin. Also pictured is the factory wires to the front woofer with new connectors on them. I saw a few DIYs where you can mount the speaker to the door itself if you build a bracket, but this method made such a massive improvement with these speakers that I don't find it necessary.
Pictured here is the crossover and tweeter setup. I removed the factory mid and the tweeter fit in perfectly once I set the adjustment ring to the correct width. Make sure you lower the tweeter adjustment on the crossover or your highs will be too bright. I put some dynomat over the hole were the tweeter was(missing when I bought the car) since t's important to seal up the door panel from the cabin.
If you install just the fronts like this up to this point you will already have a good sounding setup. For a few weeks I just ran the front speakers until I got around to finding some rear OEM speaker baskets and speakers to replace my missing ones. It's very important to use the OEM speaker basket to once again isolate the front of the speaker from the back of the speaker.
Rears: The rears were pretty simple once I got the front's just right.
There were 4 metal tabs I had to bend then the speakers were easy to pry from their OEM mounting ring (this ring fits the front and back speakers FYI)
Here are 3 different fitments that should help clear up which speakers will fit without any adjustments. The first is a Alpine SPS-600 6.5" speaker. Note that the screw mounts stick out from the ring on the speaker. Because of this, the ring on the speaker fits inside the OEM bucket without modifications.
Here is a set of MB Quartz speakers I had laying around that I attempted to modify. They are also 6.5" speakers, but the ring extends to the edge of the mounting holes so you would need to trim these down. I started too then realized that the magnet won't fit in the baskets which is why I went with Alpine SPR-60 Type R spears. They are the non component version of the fronts that I used before.
Here are the SPR-60's from before just as a test fitment. As you can sit once you cut the 3 tabs out of them, they will fit in the front or rear. When I went to put them in the car I noticed the back rear deck fits very tight. It's best to trim a way a bit of the rear deck around the speaker so that it fits better. I used a hot glue gun to attach them to the ring. The easiest way to cut out the 3 tabs was with one of those multi-tools with the flat blade that oscillates.
After that just bolt the rears in like the stock ones came one.
Pictured is the MB Quarts PVI-216, Alpine SPR-60C, and Alpine SPC-600. The Alpine SPR-600C is the one with the smallest fit which makes the install easy. I tried all 3 sets and it's the best sounding bass wise by far. The crossover is easy to deal with too.
Here is an updated shot that shows how some 6.5" speakers don't fit through the oem mounting rings. You can see the one on the left is too large and doesn't sit flush where the one on the right does because of the frame behind the speaker.
2001 Phoenix Yellow M3:
Schrick cams - AFE intake - Custom Tune - Supersprint full exhaust - Evosport pulleys - UUC Evo 3 short shift kit - Brembo 14" BBK brake kit - Euro rear floating rotors - TC Kline Double Adjustable coilovers - Vorshlag caster/camber plates - Adjustable rear camber arms - Black 2005 competition package interior - Vorsteiner CSL front bumper - 19" CSL wheels

Looks very similar to my hair, which is a mix of the two.
I consider myself 2C, because most of my head is deep, thick whirls, with some spiral curls thrown in. I also have a straighter underlayer, a common 2C trait.
In the summer, however, my hair is much more spiraly, springy & 3A, so dew points/humidity are factors.
I hang out on both the 2 & 3A forums to pick up tips. Lots of overlap in methods, techniques, etc.
Hair properties are, as everyone says, more important than "type", since "type" can be flexible. My hair is typical 2C (coarse, thick, frizz prone), but highly porous, which makes finding a moisture/protein balance tricky.
Good luck. You have lovely hair!

UMKC and state agency consortium awarded $2.19 million to bolster employment opportunities for youth with disabilities
UMKC Institute for Human Development's Transition-to-Employment Collaborative receives a 'Project of National Significance' by Federal Administration on Developmental Disabilities
KANSAS CITY, MO. -- As one of six projects awarded nationwide, a consortium led by the UMKC Institute for Human Development (IHD) will receive $2.19 million to strengthen existing partnerships and state systems working toward improved employment outcomes for youth and young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
The project, Show Me Careers: Missouri's Transition-to-Employment Collaborative, will scale up evidence-based practices in Missouri that support seamless transitions from educational settings to community-based and integrated employment for persons with disabilities.
The leadership consortium will focus its efforts on improving outcomes for youth and young adults, ages 16-30, while promoting change at the systems, community, and individual levels. Members include: UMKC Institute for Human Development, Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Developmental Disabilities, Missouri Planning Council for Developmental Disabilities (MPC), Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Office of Adult Learning and Rehabilitation Services (Missouri VR), Office of Special Education, and People First of Missouri.
"Missouri needs a collaborative effort focused on helping communities and organizations make sense of different opportunities related to transition to employment," said Tom McVeigh, Associate Director of the UMKC Institute for Human Development and principal investigator of the Show Me Careers project. "We need to put in place some systematic ways to coordinate our efforts, track progress, and scale up those methods that produce the strongest integrated employment outcomes. This project promises to address these needs and fill them."
At the Missouri Department of Mental Health, Bernard Simons, Director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities said, "Moving from the education system to employment is a difficult process for many youth and young adults with developmental disabilities. This project will help to bridge this very important transition by bringing the best ideas, as well as resources, to those local communities seeking to make transitioning from school to work a successful and meaningful experience for persons with developmental disabilities."
Funding is provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD). The award is part of ADD's nationwide effort to improve existing state systems and lead in the development of policies and practices that increase competitive employment outcomes for youth and young adults with disabilities.
"Improving access to appropriate employment supports is among the most important priorities expressed by the DD (Developmental Disability) community," said ADD Commissioner Sharon Lewis. "Beyond the opportunity to earn wages, the benefits of competitive, integrated employment include expanded social relationships, improved self-worth, transferable work skills, and increased self-determination. These grants will contribute to better employment outcomes for people with developmental disabilities."
Individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities will be directly involved in all aspects of the project, as well as family members. The UMKC Institute for Human Development and the Show Me Careers consortium highly value the participation of these consortium members as a way to ensure community needs are being heard and met.
Show Me Careers: Missouri's Transition-to-Employment Collaborative is one of over 50 projects of the UMKC Institute for Human Development, an applied research and interdisciplinary training center. For over 33 years, IHD has exemplified UMKC's mission by demonstrating research to practice through community partnerships for effective social change.

If you are looking to give a boost to your appearance, it is a fine approach to do something with your hair color. Choosing a right color from all the color options you like is not an easy-going task. There are several factors to consider while you are seeking to pick a hair color.
Here are some steps mentioned that can help you in choosing the right color of your hair.
Observe the Skin Tone
You can see the color of your veins at the wrist position. If it is blue, your skin tone is cool, if the veins color is green, undertone is warm, and if it is somewhere in-between, your skin tone is neutral.
Determine Your Eye Color
A perfect hair color can complement your eyes. The eye color and hair color make your appearance with the amazing look.
- Light Eyes: If you have the sporting light gray, light green, light blue or grayish blue eyes with a cool skin tone, it is wise to go for lighter hair color. The light brown or platinum blond with light highlights can make your eyes with a bombastic look.
If you have the warm skin tone, you can have the amber, light brown, green or hazel blinkers. You can choose the golden, red or strawberry highlights while using the light color.
- Medium Eyes: If you have the dark blue, brown or green eyes with the cool skin tone, you can go with the light-to medium brown or dirty blond colors. Warm skin tone with the dark hazel, topaz, green or amber eyes respond well to the rich brown hair color along with the burgundy or red highlights.
- Dark Eyes: Dark eyes with the dark hair color give the cool appearance. If you have the cool skin tone with the dark eyes, black coffee color can suits you the best.
If you like to get a flashy look, it is better to opt for the burgundy or plum highlights. In case, you have the warm skin tone, decide for the chocolate hair color. Go for the rich browns with the copper or red highlights.
Which Color to Choose for Cool Skin Tone
If you have the cool skin tone, the hair color shades that you can choose from include shinny raven-wing blacks, cool blondes, cool ash browns in icy white and platinum colors.
What to Avoid
People with the cool skin tone should avoid yellow, bronze, red and gold hair color tones. These warm skin tones can make you look washed out.
In order to know the right hair color that suits you, primarily you need to look upon the natural hair color, eye color and your skin tone. Then, you can choose the hair color while comparing it with your eye color and skin tone. It helps to determine either the warm or cool color can suit you.
The eye color helps in identifying the depth of the color that you can use for your hair. The natural hair color helps in determining the hair color shades.
It is better to approach a professional hair color salon where a hair color expert would suggest you about the hair color that you can use that works best with different eye colors.

Monday Musings: Apple's stock price confounds; Random House "bondage bonuses" delight
The recent plunge in Apple's stock price (down 25 percent since the iPhone 5 debuted in September, despite the phone's immense popularity) has perplexed market watchers. One of the principal theories for the drop, not surprisingly, involves the scrappy new crop of iPad competitors- the Nexus 7, Kindle HD and the like. The iPad's share of the market is predicted to dip below 50 percent by 2016 as lower priced mid-size tablets capture more of the market.
On the other hand, a lower entry point means we can also expect the tablet market to grow. This can only be good news for magazine publishers.
The tablet market is maturing as new players find niches in what has become a standard way of consuming content. This might be bad for Apple, but it expands the audience eager to be wowed by rich media on those high-def screens. For agile companies, that spells opportunity.
—James Sturdivant
Duty Bound
As the Friday spike in our e-newsletter's open and click-through rates attest, the publishing world is agog over the $5,000 bonuses Random House is handing out to U.S. employees to celebrate the success of E.L. James' runaway sensation, 50 Shades of Grey. (Our favorite headline: The International Business Times' "Bondage Bonuses").
Reaction in the commentsphere is generally positive, along the lines of, "it's nice to see a company sharing the glory with its staff." But leave it to a story about success in publishing to bring out the wet blankets. As one commenter on the New York Times' Media Decoder blog piped in: "Looks like the last hurrah in publishing." (Really?!?)
Over at the WaPo, another commenter chimed in: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating people's taste." (Which we don't think quite tracks, and seems wrong besides.)
Quite interesting was the comment on this Daily Mail piece suggesting that the employees of the book manufacturer who worked mandatory overtime all summer to get the books to Random House might share the wealth as well.

I own an iPad2 and an iPad Touch. Growing tired of the "gated community" structure of iTunes, I bought a 7″ Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and found it a delight. I have an excellent ebook reader and the best audiobook player I have ever seen…it actually returns to where you left off!
Plus, I can pop movies and music, books and audiobooks on to a micro SD card and just play them.
Price: about $180.
THAT's why Apple stock is dropping.

Matt Cassel Todd Haley Video: Watch Sideline Squabble Between Clashing ChiefsOctober 2, 2011
Sunday ended up being a good day for the Kansas City Chiefs, as they earned their first win of the season with a 22-17 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.
But early on in the game, things were about as rosy as they had been in Kansas City's first three games, which is to say they were not rosy at all. The Chiefs were put in a 7-3 hole late in the first quarter, and it was clear that there was frustration in the air at Arrowhead Stadium.
And it wasn't just limited to the home crowd. There was a point in the second quarter where quarterback Matt Cassel and head coach Todd Haley started jawing at one another. Though brief, the encounter was anything but friendly.
If you missed it, you can watch it above. As you will see, Haley clearly had a problem with the way Cassel gave up on a screen pass in the red zone. On the flip side, the video makes it look like Cassel clearly had a problem with Haley's play call.
Their disagreement boiled over from there, as Cassel and Haley started shouting at each other. Luckily for the two of them, Le'Ron McClain came in to break it up.
That was about as bad as it got and I think we can all agree that it could have been a lot worse. That the Chiefs ended up winning the game definitely helps matters.
Still, you have to wonder if there was any bad blood between Cassel and Haley before they started shouting at each other. You also have to wonder if said bad blood is going to linger for the rest of the season.
I for one would not be surprised. It was clear back in Week 1 that it was going to be a long, frustrating season for the Chiefs. The only question was how they were going to handle it.
If today's scuffle is any indication, they may not handle it all that well.

This video also demonstrates how to shell and eat lobster. Not for the squeamish! 🙂
Laurel made me do it.
Then I made her do it.
Then we ate our victims. Chris helped and we all guzzled champagne. How sick is that?!?
Well, I hope you don't think it's too sick. It was really tasty lobster and you know what they say about breaking eggs and making lobster omelets and killing God's creatures and birds in the bush, right? Yeah, I never understood that one either.
The good news is that your conscience is likely the trickiest hurdle to steaming a live lobster. Once you get past that one, the rest is gravy, or lemon-butter as the case may be.
But first:
How to pick out a lobster
- Lobsters are harder shelled in the winter months than the summer, so they are harder to crack, but winter lobsters have more meat on em, too, so there's a pro and a con either way you slice it.
- To feed one person, you'll need at least a 1.5 pound lobster, 2 to be safe. As Laurel pointed out, in Maine they'll often steam mussels and clams alongside the lobsters to fill out the meal. And don't forget the boiled potatoes and corn on the cob! (Unless you're on a date, and then you'll probably want to skip the corn.)
- Get a feisty one. Don't let that old lady at the fish counter try to sell you a lazy lobster.
- They're all wild-caught, mostly off the coast of Maine where they have strict regulations to prevent over-fishing (or over-lostering). No such thing as a farmed lobster. FYI.
- Store them in a paper bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours if you must before cooking.
And then:
How to Steam Lobster
The preferred method for cooking a live lobster
- Lobsters – one per person, all approximately the same size
- Water
- Salt
- Seaweed (optional, if you can find some)
- For dipping: melted butter and lemon juice
- In a large pot (4-5 gallon) put one inch of water and 2-3 tablespoons of salt. Bring to boil over high heat.
- Use tongs to grab the lobsters firmly and without squeamishness (do as I say, not as I do) and put them in the pot as gently as you can manage. Throw the seaweed on top if you have it.
- Put the lid on the pot and set the timer (see chart below for times).
- When the timer dings, turn off the heat and remove them from the pot to cool on a bed of newspaper (aka a Maine tablecloth)
- Cool 5 minutes.
- Shell and eat as shown in the video – start with the legs, then the claws, then the tail. Whether or not you eat the tomalley is up to you!
- If you like, dip pieces of lobster meat into melted butter mixed with lemon juice – about equal parts of each.
- Quick notes
- Cooking times: Start the timer as soon as you put the lid back on
- -1.25 pound lobster = 10-12 minutes
- -2 pound lobster – 12-18 minutes
- -3 pound lobster = 18-25 minutes
- *Note that cooking times are not cumulative. That is, cooking two 2 pound lobsters should take just about the same amount of time as cooking one 2 pounder. For our two 1.40 pound lobsters, we set the timer for 14 minutes.
- Lobsters are done when the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F, or when a leg can easily be pulled off. The only thing worse than overcooked lobster is undercooked lobster!
Cooking times: Start the timer as soon as you put the lid back on
1-1.25 pound lobster = 10-12 minutes
1.25-2 pound lobster – 12-18 minutes
2-3 pound lobster = 18-25 minutes
*Note that cooking times are not cumulative. That is, cooking two 2 pound lobsters should take just about the same amount of time as cooking one 2 pounder. For our two 1.40 pound lobsters, we set the timer for 14 minutes.
Like they do in Maine, you might also want to steam some mussels and clams alongside the lobster, and serve with boiled potatoes, corn on the cob, and French bread!

Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Inc.
About Lambda Sigma Gamma
Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Incorporated was founded at Sacramento State University in 1986. Our founders realized that the campus did not offer an organization that met the needs of women from several minority backgrounds. They found an interest in forming an organization that would not only act as a family away from home, but that would also bring together women from various backgrounds and incorporate the principles of self improvement, scholastic excellence, civic responsibility and leadership. Our beautiful sorority became a reality on October 24, 1986 by 27 women. Since then, 22 additional chapters have joined our growing family. Over 25 years, Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Incorporated has grown to include thousands of women from different creeds, ethnicities, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, physical talents, mental abilities and sexual preferences. We are continuously growing and welcoming new women to take part in our amazing sisterhood.
Lambda Sigma Gamma Sorority, Incorporated is an academic, community, social, and multicultural sorority at San José State University. We are a solid network of women in higher education who have chosen to unite to enhance our college experiences. Over the past 20 years, our sisters have become involved with several clubs and organizations on campus including Associated Students, Orientation and Transition leaders, United Sorority and Fraternity Council executive board members, Chicano Commencement board members, and Students Advocating for Higher Education, just to name a few. We provide our members a family away from home in order to facilitate the retention of motivated students. Through the support its members offer each other, Lambda Sigma Gamma has developed a strong, safe and loving environment where friendships grow, characters build, knowledge is shared, and a multicultural sisterhood is created.

ListPlot3D help
Hello, I need to obtain a 3D plot by using a data file. I could not find
any other way that to use ListPlot3D but it seem that this accepts only
heigths arrays, namely a
rectangular array containing the heights of the surface. In this way I
cannot obtain the right
scales on the x a y axis becasue the x and y data are not considered!
Is there any way to plot a real three-dimensional set of data written as
a set of {x,y,z} points?
Thanks a lot

I was looking at the results of the survey, I was surprised when I saw 37% of you don't think Irish should be compulsory in school? Yet I think 76% of students believed in armed rebellion of 1916. The 1916 leaders were Irish speakers. How if you call yourself Irish can you not be proud to learn such a language since it's our only native language. 93% were proud to be Irish? Europeans laugh at us wanting to only speak a foreign peoples language. Whatever your political or religious persuasion is it's clear that Irish was our original language until it was beaten out of us by an education system using the 'Scoreen'. But hey all students know that because they have read the Murder Machine whereby Padraig Pearse condones such activities. The hypocrisy of the youth is amusing! :)
"The hypocrisy of the youth is amusing! :)"
Interesting how you only wrote that post in English and didn't bother to provide an Irish version...
If you want to know why people dislike the Irish langauge, you need to look in the mirror.
If a language isn't spoken it dies... no matter how much funding gets thrown at it.
Lastly Europeans' aren't laughing at us, the majority of them probably have never debated the demise of the Irish langauge in Ireland. I hate when statements like that get used in arguments...
Honestly have you ever sat down and started laughing at other European countries for their domestic affairs?
No, you haven't, so stop making up broad statements about what other European citizens do.

Irish is useless, you can only speak to people who are a tiny minority in Ireland and the only decent career you can get from it is a irish teaching job in Ireland. Look at French if you learned it you could speak in countries all over the planet not just in France and the job opportunites would be far greater than with irish. Not to mention that either the method of teaching irish is wrong or the language is hard as we start learning this language from as early as 4 and many can barely speak it after like 14 years of learning. Just because we are irish does not mean everyone wants to be surrounded with irish culture, theres an entire planet out there to experience and it sounds very unexciting staying in Ireland and spending years and years just so you can speak irish with an almost non existent fluent population. I just study irish for the points in the leaving cert after that the language will mean nothing to me and I will never need to speak it again which truly shows how pointless it is to learn that we never need to speak it in life.

Today, Tibco Software — best known for its SOA integration, complex event processing, and business process management suite — announced its acquisition of Nimbus Partners, a privately held business process analysis vendor based in the United Kingdom. Nimbus Partners is smaller and less well known than the other more mature and full-featured BPA solutions, such as those from ARIS, Provision, and Mega. Nimbus, which employs more than 100 people, sold process discovery and authoring tools along with its homegrown methodology for quickly capturing and managing detailed information on business processes. Nimbus' features and ease of use appealed mostly to process architects, process analysts, and business stakeholders that wanted an environment more robust than Microsoft Visio but not as technical — or requiring as much training — as other BPA environments.

Earlier this year, I was invited to participate in an internal debate across the Forrester team serving the business process professional role on "The Future of Business Process: Packaged Apps vs BPM." Our key takeaway: Organizations need to move away from siloed views of the business process domain and develop a more holistic view of business processes across both packaged applications and BPM disciplines. In short, we agreed that business process pros should embrace "big process thinking," as we're beginning to call it, to deal with increasingly splintered and fragmented processes that span across packaged applications, BPM suites, on-premises solutions, cloud-based solutions, mobile platforms, and social environments.
Following this debate, key Forrester business process analysts embarked on new research to flesh out exactly how business processes — and the business process discipline — will need to evolve in the face of continuous disruption and competitive threats. Over the past three months, we interviewed firms with leading business transformation programs, industry thought leaders, and technology vendors to paint a picture of what business processes will look like in 2020. Based on these interviews, business process will evolve over the next decade to become:

Early life[edit]
Randy Herman Meisner was born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, the second child and only son of sharecroppers Herman (1911–1995) and Emilie Meisner (1911–2010). Randy had an older sister named Carol (who died in 2005) and he recalled his mother was always singing around the house. Her father George Haun was a violin teacher.[1][2] Both Randy's maternal and paternal grandparents were born in Russia though the Meisner and Haun families are of German ancestry.[3][4] The Meisner family grew beans, alfalfa, corn and sugar beets on their farm.[5] Randy developed an interest in the guitar at ten years old, after seeing Elvis Presley perform on the Ed Sullivan Show. He began taking lessons and playing in local bands. While attending Scottsbluff High School, one of Randy's teachers suggested he take up the bass. "I loved R&B and the bass players on the Motown stuff were great. They really inspired me. I can't read music. Once I learn a part it's there. My bass playing came real naturally." [6]
Early career (1961–1968)[edit]
Randy Meisner played bass and sang with a local band named The Dynamics (later The Drivin' Dynamics[7]) from 1961 to 1965. Their first paying job was in the dance hall at Little Moon Lake, near Henry, Nebraska in December 1961. They played there regularly through 1962. In late 1962, The Drivin' Dynamics released their first record, a 4-song EP with Meisner singing lead vocals on Sam Cooke's "You Send Me." [8] It was pressed locally with only 500 copies released. In August 1965, The Dynamics signed a record deal with Sully Records out of Amarillo, Texas. They recorded three songs, with Randy singing lead on two: "One Of These Days" and "So Fine".[9] "So Fine" was released as a single and sold well regionally and in the southeastern U.S.[10] Early in 1966,[7][11] Randy moved to California with a band named The Soul Survivors,[11] later to be renamed The Poor[7] (because, as Don Felder later said, "that is what they became").[12] It was a hardscrabble existence, as Meisner later recalled, "I never had a car, I had to walk. I sold the Los Angeles Free Press on Sunset and Highland. I made about five bucks a day." [13] The Poor was managed by Charlie Greene and Brian Stone, who also managed Buffalo Springfield and Sonny & Cher. The band released several singles on Loma, York and Decca Records in 1966 and 1967, with limited success. Loma Records was a subsidiary of Warner Bros., and had offices in the same building. In February 1967, The Poor recorded "She's Got the Time, She's Got the Changes," written by Tom Shipley (later of Brewer & Shipley fame) while he was a staff writer for A&M Records. Three of the singles were produced by Barry Friedman, aka Frazier Mohawk, and recorded at Gold Star Studios. The band performed on "Study in Motion #1" which was featured in the 1967 Jack Nicholson film Hell's Angels on Wheels. In the summer of 1967, The Poor was booked for two weeks at the Salvation Club in New York City, opening for The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Though they did get to play a few times, it was not the opportunity they had hoped it would be, and the band members had to threaten management to get money for plane tickets back to L.A. Rev-Ola released a CD of The Poor's music in 2003, which included one song written by Meisner called "Come Back Baby." [14]
Poco and the Stone Canyon Band (1968–1970)[edit]
In May 1968, after auditioning alongside the likes of Gregg Allman and Timothy B. Schmit, Meisner joined Poco (originally named Pogo)[7] with former Buffalo Springfield members Richie Furay and Jim Messina.[7][15] Meisner appears on the group's first album, Pickin' Up the Pieces,[16] but quit the band[17] shortly before the record was released. His exit was the result of his anger at being excluded (at Furay's insistence) from participation in the final mix playback sessions for the album, as only Messina and Furay were to complete production.[17] His image was removed from the painting on the album's cover[18] and replaced with a dog.[19] His bass parts and backing vocals were left in the final mix,[18] but his lead vocals were removed, and new versions were sung by George Grantham.[20]
In April 1969, Meisner joined Rick Nelson's Stone Canyon Band,[21] and persuaded Nelson and producer John Boylan to hire his former band mates from The Poor, Allen Kemp (guitar) and Pat Shanahan (drums); pedal steel guitarist Tom Brumley, previously of Buck Owens band, completed the group.[20] Meisner appears on both In Concert at the Troubadour, 1969[21] and Rudy The Fifth. He is also featured in Easy to Be Free, a documentary of the Stone Canyon Band's 1969 tour, directed by Rick Nelson's brother David. The film was eventually broadcast on American television in 1973.[22] Meisner co-produced "In Concert at the Troubadour" with Rick Nelson. Although he did not perform on Nelson's Garden Party, he did co-author one of the album's tracks, "I Wanna Be With You."[16] Meisner continued to support himself as a session performer, playing bass on two tracks of James Taylor's Sweet Baby James album ("Country Road" and "Blossom").[16]
Meisner returned to Nebraska in the spring of 1970, after a difficult tour of Europe with Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band. He began working at the local John Deere tractor dealership, Frank Implement. At night, he played in a band called Gold Rush that featured Stephen A. Love (later to become a member of New Riders of the Purple Sage). Later that year, with Rick Nelson's encouragement, he returned to Los Angeles to resume his career.[23][24] He worked to establish Gold Rush, while also playing in the Stone Canyon Band and playing on sessions for John Stewart and Waylon Jennings.[25] By mid-1971, he was recruited by John Boylan to become active in Linda Ronstadt's roster of backing musicians, which included Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Bernie Leadon, who later joined Meisner as the founding members of the Eagles.
Eagles (1971–1977)[edit]
In September 1971, Meisner, along with Henley, Frey and Leadon, formed the Eagles, signing with David Geffen's new label, Asylum Records,[11] and they released their eponymous debut album in 1972. While he usually manned the bass and handled backing vocals for the Eagles, he wrote and/or co-wrote songs on each of the group's first five albums, most notably "Take It to the Limit," the band's first million-selling single, on One of These Nights. Other songs he wrote and sang lead on include "Try and Love Again", and he also wrote the song "Certain Kind of Fool" with Frey and Henley, which also had him singing lead.
According to band colleague Don Felder, Meisner's time in the band was weighed down by his desire to be with his family, as well as the constant bickering between the members, which was still unknown to the public at the time. During the 1976/77 tour in support of the Hotel California album, Meisner was plagued by ill health and exhaustion, as the band toured constantly for over eleven months. Meisner also preferred not to be the center of attention, and said: "I was always kind of shy ... They wanted me to stand in the middle of the stage to sing 'Take It to the Limit,' but I liked to be out of the spotlight."[26] The band was starting to feel the strain in a long tour, and Meisner was unhappy – his stomach ulcers had flared up, and his marriage was also gradually disintegrating.[27] He had been arguing with fellow member Glenn Frey about his signature song, "Take It To the Limit", during the tour, as Meisner was struggling to hit the crucial high notes in the song.[28] At their show in Knoxville, Tennessee, Meisner decided to skip the song as an encore as he had stayed up late and caught the flu, and Frey and Meisner then became involved in an angry physical confrontation backstage.[28] After the altercation, Meisner was frozen out from the band,[27] and Meisner later said: "That was the end. . . I really felt like I was a member of the group, not a part of it."[26] Meisner decided to leave the group after the final date of the tour and returned to Nebraska to be with his family. His last performance was in East Troy, Wisconsin on September 3, 1977.[29] The band replaced Meisner with the same musician who had succeeded him in Poco, Timothy B. Schmit, after agreeing that Schmit was the only candidate.[30]
Meisner formally quit the band in September 1977,[11] citing "exhaustion".[31] On the subject of his abrupt resignation from the band, Meisner later said, "All that stuff and all the arguing amongst the Eagles is over now. Well at least for me."[32] Meisner expressed disappointment and hurt at being excluded from the band's 1994 "resumption" tour Hell Freezes Over. In an interview with the television program American Journal, Meisner said he had contacted the band's manager, Irving Azoff, when he heard rumors of the band reforming but was brushed off by him.[33] "You'd think that you would be mentioned if you helped with six of the albums, but they act as though I never even played with them," Meisner said at the time.[34] Meisner also asked the band if he could sit in with them at their Millennium Concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve 1999, but says he was rebuffed; however, he says he holds no resentment towards Henley and Frey.[35]
Post-Eagles (1978 onwards)[edit]
Following his departure from the Eagles, Meisner went on to release solo albums in 1978 Randy Meisner and 1980 (One More Song). He has said that his 1978 album, which he co-produced with Alan Brackett, was scattershot and not "conceptualized to its best." It only featured one song co-written by Randy, a new arrangement of "Take It to the Limit" and he only played bass on one song, a cover of The Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me". He explains that "Elektra had a 'leaving members clause' and I had to record an album for them before I was able to do what I wanted." [36] 1980's One More Song was produced by Val Garay and featured backing vocals by his former Eagles bandmates Don Henley and Glenn Frey on the Jack Tempchin-composed title track. Meisner co-wrote six of the album's nine songs, including the Top 20 single "Hearts on Fire," collaborating with songwriters Wendy Waldman and Eric Kaz.
He toured with his band, Randy Meisner & the Silverados, throughout the early 80s. The 1981 band included Greg Palmer on bass, Todd Smith on guitar, Sterling Smith on keyboards, Don Francisco (not the Christian singer of the same name) on percussion and background vocals, and Therese Heston on background vocals. In 1982, he released another album on CBS (Randy Meisner), recorded with members of Heart and produced by Mike Flicker. The revamped Silverados included Dixon House on keyboards, Heart guitarist Howard Leese on guitar, Denny Carmassi on drums, Tom Erak on bass and John Corey on guitar as well as Sterling Smith from the earlier band.[37] Meisner also resumed his session-playing, supporting James Taylor, Joe Walsh, Dan Fogelberg, Bob Welch, Richie Furay, Richard Marx, Peter Lewis, Danny O'Keefe, Mac Gayden & Electric Range, as well as being part of the one-hit band Black Tie (a cover of Buddy Holly's "Learning the Game") – featuring Meisner alongside Jimmy Griffin (of Bread) and Billy Swan. Respected session musician Blondie Chaplin and former Eagles member Bernie Leadon joined the band on their U.S. tour in early 1986.[38] When Griffin departed and was replaced by Charlie Rich, Jr., the band was renamed Meisner, Swan & Rich.[39]
He also formed a band and toured for several years (1987–89) with former Firefall singer/songwriter Rick Roberts, called the Roberts-Meisner Band (Roberts had previously been a Burrito Brother with Bernie Leadon, notably on 1971's The Flying Burrito Brothers). The Roberts-Meisner Band's drummer was well-known musician Ron Grinel, who also played with Dan Fogelberg, Carole King and the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band. Also in the band were Bray Ghiglia on guitar, flute, saxophone, and keyboards, and Cary Park on lead guitar. Roberts reports that the band recorded "at least half a dozen" songs, but that record company interest was not as great as they had expected.[40]
Meisner's band reunion activities have included the Legacy album and tour with Poco in 1989/90 and the Eagles' 1998 appearance at the New York City induction ceremony for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where all seven past and present members of the Eagles performed "Take It Easy" and "Hotel California". He even reunited with the Drivin' Dynamics for a performance in 2000, when the band and Randy as a solo performer was inducted into the Nebraska Music Hall of Fame. In the 2000s he performed as a part of the World Classic Rockers touring group. After suffering severe chest pains and being hospitalized in August 2004, Meisner cut back on his touring schedule. His last known public performance was in 2008 in Naples, Florida.[41]
Meisner was invited by the Eagles to take part in their History of the Eagles world tour in 2013, but he declined due to health issues.[42]
Personal life[edit]
Meisner has been married twice. He married his high-school girlfriend, Jennifer Lee Barton, in 1963, and the young couple had a son, Dana Scott Meisner in November 1963. The couple had two more children, twins Heather Leigh and Eric Shane Meisner, born in May 1970, before divorcing in 1981.[12]
He later married his partner of twelve years, Lana Rae, in November 1996.[43] The marriage lasted until her death in 2016.
Many people who have met and worked with Randy Meisner remark on his kindness. Don Felder, James Taylor and Rick Roberts have described Meisner as one of the nicest people they've ever worked with. Felder adds, "He was a wonderful Midwestern guy with a great heart and a loving soul."[44] Henry Diltz, who photographed Randy extensively with the Eagles and in the early 1980s during Randy's solo career, says, "Randy Meisner was a very gentle soul. Pisces. A quiet and friendly guy. No aggressive vibe at all. Very sweet. He was so there and open."[45] His shyness has also been remarked upon, and may have caused him some difficulty as a performer at times. "Randy was extremely uncomfortable with so-called superstardom," Don Henley told author Marc Eliot.[46]
Impostor case[edit]
In 1988 a man named Lewis Peter "Buddy" Morgan started impersonating Meisner.[47] He had previously been charged with impersonating Don Henley in Las Vegas, but skipped on his bail.[48] Morgan's identity was not conclusively revealed until 1997.[47] In 1998 he was arrested and spent 16 months in jail, but upon his release continued his charade and was still doing so as of 2009.[49] In Reno, Nevada, he tried to use Meisner's identity to rent hotel rooms. He was not as successful as before with the ruse, since the city's hotels had notified each other of the impostor. Some people are not familiar with Meisner's appearance, and Morgan used that fact to con musical instrument manufacturers and retailers, casino owners, and women.[47][50]
Health and legal issues[edit]
Meisner has struggled on-and-off with alcohol and drug addictions since the late 1960s, especially during his tenure with the Eagles, as he struggled to deal with his new-found fame.[51][not in citation given] He later ascribed his drug use as one of the main reasons for the failure of his first marriage, and he subsequently stayed sober for a prolonged period in the late 1980s.[citation needed] He has since relapsed on several occasions. The abuse eventually took a toll on Meisner's health, and following minor heart attacks in 2004 he was forced to cut back on touring.[citation needed] As his health continued to deteriorate, he eventually stopped performing; his final performance was in 2008 in Naples, Florida.[41]
In March 2013, Meisner suffered yet another health scare after losing consciousness in his California home. A piece of food obstructed his breathing while he was eating, and he was rushed to the hospital. While doctors were optimistic about his recovery, Meisner spent some time in a coma,[52] and in his weakened state could not accept the invitation to participate in the History of the Eagles tour alongside fellow ex-bandmate Bernie Leadon, who participated in the tour.[53] The incident damaged his vocal cords, leaving him with weakened voice and speech.[citation needed] He later revealed that his former Eagles bandmates had paid the medical bills from the hospitalization.[52]
In April 2015, Meisner and his wife denied rumors, based on a lawsuit filed on his behalf, that she was taking advantage of his known addictions to alcohol and drugs, trying to force-feed him bottles of vodka to keep him drunk. The singer's self-described longtime friend, James Newton, filed papers in April asking that Meisner be placed under a court-supervised conservatorship governing his personal and financial matters.[54] Despite this, three months later, the Los Angeles County Superior Court appointed a temporary conservator to oversee the 24-hour management of Meisner's drug prescriptions and medical state, noting he was previously diagnosed as bipolar. Meisner had allegedly threatened to kill himself and others with a weapon in early 2015, though he didn't have a firearm at the time.[55] The brief conservatorship directed Meisner's medical care, but the judge did not give the conservator the additional power sought by Troy Martin and James Newton to also have her oversee his finances.[56]
Death of wife[edit]
On March 6, 2016, police responded to a 911 call made by a woman from the couple's Studio City, California house asking for police assistance for a possibly intoxicated male suspect.[57] A detective confirmed that police had received a call on Sunday evening at around 5:30pm and officers had listed it as a domestic incident which required no further action. "It was an every day argument between a husband and wife and there was no violence involved," said the source.[58] Just ninety minutes later, after police had left the scene, Lana Meisner accidentally shot and killed herself when a rifle she was moving was struck by an object in its case and fired.[59] Authorities determined that Randy Meisner had no role in the shooting, as surveillance tapes showed he was in another part of the house at the time.[60][61] Following the accidental shooting, Meisner was placed under psychiatric hold after threatening suicide, due to previous threats and mental issues.[62]

A family mourning the loss of the 96-year-old family patriarch in the L'Isle-Verte fire is now dealing with a devastating pall of rumour and suspicion spreading through town that his cigarette may have ignited the inferno.
Reports pinpointing the origin of the fire to room 206 in the Résidence du Havre where 32 people are believed to have perished in the early hours Thursday have left the family of Paul-Étienne Michaud facing questions from villagers, media and Sûreté du Québec investigators about his smoking habits.
Investigators were seeking and interviewing Michaud family members on the weekend but insisted the smoking theory is but one possible avenue they are exploring among the swirl of rumours and information enveloping the town. They cautioned against hasty conclusions. An electrical room also circulated as a possible source in early reporting on the fire.
If the source of ignition was as banal as smoking, the case will provoke even more troubling questions about building codes, the absence of sprinklers and the use of wood building materials that allowed the fire to engulf an entire wing of the residence in minutes.
Mr. Michaud, a 96-year-old inveterate smoker, is believed to have died in the fire. His son, Jean-André Michaud said Saturday he believes his father has been misidentified as the smoker who tried to sneak out in the late night for a cigarette, and was sent back to his room just before the fire broke out.
"It's going to be a terrible burden if it turns out he started the fire, but I don't believe it," said Jean-André Michaud in a tearful interview at his farm on the edge of L'Isle-Verte. "I just don't believe it. He was not that big a smoker to get up in the middle of the night to light up."
Bruno Bélanger, the night supervisor in the home, told Quebecor news outlets Friday that he chased a smoker back to room 206 after he tried to go out into the night. He said he was 95 per cent sure the man and room 206 were the source of the fire.
The name of Mr. Michaud, who kept a minivan as a makeshift smoking lounge in the parking lot of the residence, immediately spread around town, and triggered police inquiries with the Michaud family.
Some in his family insist he was living in room 208, not room 206 identified by Mr. Bélanger. They also say his tobacco addiction was not bad enough to drive him into the cold night, or to smoke inside.
Marie-Luce Dionne, whose mother, Laurette Filion, was rescued from the home told The Globe and Mail she was moved from room 206 into a main floor suite in the newer portion of the building, which survived the fire, on December 27. "She was saved by that move," Ms. Dionne said.
Jean-André Michaud insists his father was not moved into that room in the past month. "If my father wasn't there, he didn't start the fire, damn it," Mr. Michaud said.
However, Mr. Michaud admitted his father had a stubborn independence and a tobacco habit that dated back to age 12. His father was busted a few times for lighting a cigarette in his room when smoking was first banned a few years ago. He was allowed to smoke for his first 15 years in the place, Mr. Michaud said.
His description of his father's high level of determination to get his way provoked a wave of laughter between tears for the gruff farmer. "When he got something in his head, he was tenacious as hell," said Mr. Michaud, who himself shakes hands with an iron grip.
When the senior Mr. Michaud was about 90, he got into a minor accident and had his licence taken away. However, he still had the card in his possession and insisted he still had the right to drive. After his he was caught and had his vehicle taken away, he paid $800 cash for a minivan about four years ago to drive illegally around town.
Frustrated by the lengths to which his father would go to drive, Mr. Michaud said he orchestrated a "theft" of two wheels from his father's van last summer. Even on blocks, his father kept the van and used it as a smoking lounge and demanded weekly to get his wheels back. "Tenacious," Mr. Michaud said. "The windows were pretty much tinted (yellow). It was like an ashtray inside."
He also described how his father would pretend to collect the mail at the entrance to the home to disguise lighting up on his way outside. "He never fell asleep while smoking," said Mr. Michaud. "His clothes had a few holes from ashes, but at that age he shakes a bit."
Other family members were convinced days ago that a cigarette belonging to the elder of a family lit the fire. Lise Michaud, a niece, said her uncle was easily the home's most infamous smoker. "I kept saying I hope not, I hope not, I hope not. But you know, that poor old fella worked so hard all his life and it was basically his last pleasure."
"I'd like to know what the bedspreads were made of," said Lise Michaud, who retired to her ancestral area adding that certain synthetic materials ignite instantly.
After his father's name began to surface, Jean-André Michaud said police investigators were at his house Friday night asking about his father's smoking habits. The phone has not stopped ringing since.

One additional data point: Bluetooth MAP function appears to be selectively implemented by phone manufacturers that claim to implement it.
I tested the function of a VZW edition Samsung Galaxy S III (that VZW claims supports MAP on their website). After pairing was finished and MAP connection was implemented between the GS III and the car (phone asked if I wanted to activate MAP, I clicked the yes box), only SMS messages would display. Contacts on the GS III were transferred to the car with no problem. But no e-mail. I didn't spend too much time trying to mess around because I didn't want to risk breaking the integration with the BB Bold 9930.
Curiosity has set in and I am seeing who I can borrow an iPhone 5 from to see if it works with the car.
As I posted earlier, if MAP function is important, make sure it works for the
environment you are wanting it to work with.
