Ratings for Dr. Edwin Mirzabeigi
Super nice doctor, very professional, knows aesthetic medicine. i wish my regular doctor was like Dr Mirzabeigi. He is truly the best doctor I've seen & been treated by. I've been getting Reslin injections from him for the past 2 years & its been the best ever... even better than the plastic surgeon i used to go to in Beverly Hills that charged an arm & a leg!! Dr. Mirzabeigi is very reasonable & fair in his charge for service. It was so easy to setup an appointment with him for consultation and thereafter. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to a great Aesthetics doctor.
I saw Dr. Mirzabeigi based on my girlfriend's referral for Medical Aesthetic Treatment, basically photo facial treatment for sun damage & skin tightening with wrinkles. After a very thorough evaluation, Dr. Mirzabeigi suggested Trinity Treatment which I have received twice so far with unbelievable results. I can't wait for my third treatment. My skin's texture and appearance has been drastically changed for the better, and I thank him for giving me my 15 years back!! I highly recommend Dr. Mirzabeigi for your Aesthetics needs.

Lesinski-Rusin family
The Lesinski and Rusin families represent the average working-class Polish family settled in the Pioneer Valley during the early twentieth century. Numerous family photographs document important occasions for the families, such as baptisms, first communions, and weddings, while photographic postcards and commercial postcards document their relationships, interests, and travel. The collection also includes Polish-language textbooks and a Polish-English dictionary, which suggest that learning English may have been both a challenge as well as a priority.

Legacy of Healthy Living
Recent alumnus Artem Trotsyuk might have become a firefighter, or maybe even a pilot. As a child, he dreamed of fighting fires and flying jets. Instead, a video he watched in high school inspired a different career goal — one he continues to pursue today.
"In the video, a doctor performed a dangerous surgery to save a patient's life," says Trotsyuk. "I knew I wanted to be like that and help people."
Trotsyuk's interest in medicine took full root at UC Davis, where he completed internships in the operating and emergency rooms at the medical center. He also conducted lab research in translational medicine alongside mentor and professor of medicine Mark Zern at the UC Davis Institute for Regenerative Cures.
"Dr. Zern took me on despite my passion outweighing my research experience at the time," says Trotsyuk. "He opened the door to incredible learning experiences and wanted to see me excel."
Preparing to apply to medical school, Trotsyuk currently works on campus as an interdisciplinary health fellow in the Division of Student Affairs. He creates programs that integrate a healthy lifestyle into the college experience.
He's already had a few successes in health and wellness programming, most notably the Stride for Aggie Pride 5k campus fun run he launched last spring. The student-led event raised $17,500 for scholarships and emergency aid. A new Aggie tradition, Stride for Aggie Pride was held Sunday, May 18, 2014.
"UC Davis has given me many rewarding opportunities; leaving a legacy of healthy living and community service is my way of saying thanks."

exact same problem im having...im using an hp dv6809wm laptop
i know its not the disc, it works perfectly on my desktop
Before i get a torrent of abuse i have looked at the fourm and nothing in it seems to relate to what i have people have the same issues but i cant seem to fix my problem with there solutions any how
when i boot up my BT3 Final live cd i get to the selection screen fine but if i chose any option it will just black screen untill i press the power button then it produces the boot screen but nothing is happening
i can boot in to BT3 Final buy going to text mode and entering in
then starting startx at the bt prompt
what i need to no is why this is happening and how do i fix the problem thanks
exact same problem im having...im using an hp dv6809wm laptop
i know its not the disc, it works perfectly on my desktop
I am not sure if my problem is the same but here goes.
I've found that after booting from the DVD my screen stays blank then after some time I end up in my KDE GUI but up to that point my console is blank no text nothing at all. I see the drive spin, and the system boots up fine, but the console is blank.
I tested the DVD in vmware and all worked as it should, the console shows all the boot up checks and I log in just fine.
I did a hard drive install to my laptop and the same thing happens but in this case I have to blindly type in my username and pass then startx
after that x loads and I can do everything just fine
so it would seem that only the boot console is effected.
I did a lot of searching and found that I can add vga=769 to 792 to the kernel line in grub.conf or LILO
here is the list
+ | 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
+256 | 769 771 773 775
+32k | 784 787 790 793
+64k | 785 788 791 794
I have not found one that works for me yet but maybe it might for you.
If anyone else can help with this please and thank you.

Four people were only slightly injured when the single-engine plane they were flying in lost power and splashed down in Big Bear Lake on Saturday morning, officials said.
"The pilot announced they were having engine trouble and was experiencing some shaking," said Big Bear City Airport Unicom Operator Bob Dow in a phone conversation. "I cleared him for a landing but shortly after he announced he wasn't going to make it and went into the lake. "No one was believed to be significantly injured in the 10:40 a.m. incident, San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman said.
"Several passengers were able to exit the plane and a couple of them have minor injuries," she said.
The plane went down in shallow water in the southwest portion of the lake, according to Big Bear City Airport and Federal Aviation Administration officials.
After hitting the water, "the aircraft came to a rest inverted," FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said.
The Beech A36 Bonanza sustained "substantial damage," he added.
The airport sits a few hundred yards east of the lake. Despite the lake's close proximity, Dow said incidents like Saturday's are rare.
"The last time anything similar to this happened was several years ago," Dow said.
In that incident, a small plane ended up in a water area known as The Ponds between the airport and the lake, Dow said. No major injuries were reported in that crash either.
Both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating Saturday's incident, Kenitzer said, with the NTSB spearheading the probe.
A preliminary report on the mishap was expected in a week or two, he said. A probable cause will likely not be determined for several months.

Your traffic ticket may be a "correctable violation" or a "fix-it" ticket. Your "Notice to Appear" should have the "yes" box checked below "Correctable Violation." Also, the courtesy notice the court may send you will say whether you can pay for the violation or if you have to show proof of correction.
If you show proof of correction and pay a dismissal fee, the court will dismiss the relevant charge.
Some common tickets of this kind are:
When you fix the problem, get an authorized person to sign the "Certificate of Correction" part of your ticket. Take the proof of correction to the court and pay the dismissal fee before the deadline. You can check your ticket or contact the court to see if the court accepts proof of correction by mail. The court will then dismiss your case and it will not go on your record. You must take or mail the signed ticket with proof of correction to the court along with your dismissal fee. Do this before the deadline on your ticket. The court will then dismiss your case.

mike wilkinson but he pussed out with an "injury"
Some diffucult fights to predict. We seem yo be the country they come to where no gimmes are given. Usually if the ufc are visiting a county outside of the states the country has a lot of home favourites. We rarely see that.
Hard card to call but i'm going Machida, Pearson, Manuwa, Parke, Sakara, Linekar, Iaquinta, Craig, Sexton, Miller, Whiteford, Kuiper.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
I'm going to go with the crazy shout and say Munoz to win!!
I like his wrestling chance.
I think Jimmo beats Manuwa all day long. And maybe Parke loses but apart from that the rest win. I expect Whiteford to take full advantage of this opportunity no regrets.
Retired 2k and out.
Especially given how much distance Machida fights at.
3-2-0 Pro Fighter managed by TFL Sports Agency
There are alot of tough fights but I think with having a partisan crowd we'll get a few wins and there will be a lot of close fights. I'm pretty confident Parke and Pearson get the win and Jimmi is gonna be very dangerous in the 1st round. They'll be a couple of suprises I've no doubt
apparently Lyoto had an injured foot against Davis
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Right, after my initial reaction I would say that the following will defo win: Sexton, Parke
after that Manuwa and Pearson are the next possibles
Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer

SiriusXM SXV300V1 Tuner
556 Reviews
SiriusXM's compact SXV200V1 tuner lets you receive satellite radio programming in your car without the need for any additional cables or interfaces. With a compatible car stereo, you can pause, rewind, and replay up to an hour of live broadcasts, plus see alerts when your favorite song, artist, or team is playing on another channel. And with your iPod® connected, you can "tag" songs for purchasing later in the iTunes® store.
Depending on your subscription package, you'll also be able to enjoy SiriusXM's Xtra Channels with the SXV200V1, giving you access to over 20 new music, sports, entertainment, and dedicated Spanish-language channels. The package includes the hideaway satellite radio tuner, plus an antenna that attaches to your vehicle with its powerful magnetic base.
The SXV200V1 works with in-dash receivers with a "SiriusXM ready" logo. This tuner will not work with your car's factory satellite radio antenna, so you'll have to install the included antenna. You'll also need an XM or SiriusXM subscription. Satellite radio service is available only within the lower 48 states — not available in Hawaii or U.S. territories. Limited service is available in Alaska.
Note: Your receiver must have the "SiriusXM ready" logo — this adapter is not compatible with receivers that have "SAT Radio Ready", "Sirius Ready DC", or "XM Ready" logos.

Average Customer Review(s):
Works flawlessly. Hid the anteanna under my dash speaker grill. Works flawless
Pros: Great
Easy to install
Great product, easy to install.
Pros: Easy to install.
Cons: None
Easy installation and I was up and running in no time.
Pros: Sweet and simple
Cons: None
Simple install. Basically plug in, pay for the subscription, (first 3 months free by the way), and off you go to the awesome channels of Sirius XM!
Pros: Compact and easy to install.
Cons: None!
Works great with my Pioneer AVH-X5600BHS. It actually has better reception that I had my last car that had it in from the factory
Pros: Works great. It was easy to move my existing account to this. Did it online.
Cons: Only con is that it took me a while to figure out where to mount it and how to run the cabling. After I got that figured out it only took about 25 minutes to get it run
Great product. Easy to install in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. Truly a plug and play operation. Make sure when you are mounting the antenna, to place it on the driver or passenger side roll cage. Have not had any reception issues at that location.
Pros: Easy Install
Cons: Finding ideal antenna location
So far so good at 2 weeks. Plenty of wire length to mount anywhere on the vehicle. I placed my antenna on the dash of my Jeep Unlimited. Works well until I go under a bridge then it goes out for a second.
Pros: Easy to install
This is a plug and play deal. Route the antenna wire, then plug in and go.
Pros: Easy intallation
Cons: None
I was worried it would be hard to install. Not so! The antenna was what had me worried and the wire was a little stiff but no real issues. Crystal clear sound!
Pros: Great price, east to install.
Cons: Anetnna wire was a little stiff to work with but not bad.
Great product! It's extremely easy to install, and doesn't take up much room at all. The product attached to the back of the deck and extended the antenna connection to behind the glovebox (clost to my existing xm tuner). I was able utile the "shark fin" antenna with minimal modification. Works just as great as the manufacturer's.
Pros: Has additional feature than your stock xm/radio. Allows you to rewind. You can keep and utilize your existing antenna.
Cons: The cord that attaches the radio could be a little longer (In case you want to store the device behind the glovebox).
Small and simple. Plugs right into my radio head and gives seamless access to xm radio stations.
Pros: simple plug and play application for my system.
Cons: None
Small unit easy to place. Instantly hooked up to my JVC KD-AR959BS head unit also bought at Crutchfield. Excellent reception, clear sound, and as I said, it is small and easy to mount anywhere out of the way. With the right head unit it really delivers the features of Sirius XM. The JVC KD-AR959BS is a perfect fit for this unit.
Pros: Small, easy to install.
Cons: none
Works well - no issues - seamless with kenwood head unit. Initialized quickly. As advertised.
Pros: Seamless integration with head unit and works well
Cons: None
Replaced factory installed XM on my 2008 Dodge Ram... easy to install and run the antenna to the head unit.
Pros: Compact, easy to install and enable.
Cons: Antenna wire a little stiff... be careful with kinking as you run it to head unit.
Tunes for every mood!
Pros: Simple install
Cons: Paying to listen to the radio - but - hearing whatever strikes your fancy
Got this to go with my new kenwood head unit and it was extremely simple to install. Need to adjust the antenna adjustment a bit on my truck but everything works really well and now I can continue to listen to my favorite channels with better quality sound.
Pros: No separate unit to hang on the windshield and no fm transmitter! Direct plug and play
Cons: Finding space for the little box looked to be difficult at first but we figured a way to hide it out of the way.
I thought i was getting a sirius tuner but when hooked up it was xm reciever will have for 6 months then proboly cancel my subsciption be to expensive to get sirius
Great add on for a new radio
Pros: Works great
Cons: Could plug in the back of the radio at a better angle
Easy install Sirius made the conversion simple and threw in 3 months service which as inserted into our account along with a reduced rate for the following 3 months. I think they are anxious to keep existing customers and an occasional phone call will get you a reduced rate in line with their various promotions.
Pros: Easy install Great radio with no ads
Cons: None
They don't tell you, you haft to buy 3 months to get 3 months free and they want your credit card info with auto renew
I was worried about this installation, as I wanted to install the antenna in the extreme rear of my Saturn Vue, then run the cable to the dash. I chose to create, by filing, a channel in the pinch weld, then thoroughly wrapped the cable and reinstalled the weather stripping for the hatch. Hiding the cable was simple and, once connected, everything worked great. After a couple of false starts trying to activate the service on the web, I called SiriusXM and activation was simple. My issue with the web was that I had a existing SiriusXM account so if you're starting from scratch you should have no issue. Works great with my Kenwood head unit and has really upped my listening enjoyment. I've had the dash apart many times so part of my ease of installation was owing to this fact.
Pros: Great SiriusXM programming.
easy to install
Wanted the option to have SiriusXM radio. This one went in easily and included a rebate for the radio and 3 months of free service. Pretty cool.
Pros: Good price (free initially) and had 3 months free service to get that going. Went in easily.
Cons: A little bit of a pain to route the wire to the external antennae.
Easy to install. No problems.
Pros: Easy install
Cons: none
This is a great product that I was able to use oem antenna with!
Worked great with aftermarket pioneer avic5000 nex! There is plenty of antenna wiring to go from roof of my Altima to the radio. Plug and play install is awesome. Satellite signal is great! Definitely recommend this product.
Pros: Compact size, easy to install, works flawlessly
Cons: None
Works fine but I wish XM would make it so that you can use the factory antenna.
Easy install and works great
Pros: Easy install and works great
Cons: None
Works great. LOVE the rewind feature (can't rewind unless you are on the channel with my Alpine; I understand some head units allow you to rewind channels you just tuned in). Tunes fast, receives well and includes more channels than the Sirius or XM systems (this is the THIRD incompatible system, which I believe uses the XM satellites but includes more channels than the older XM system). Had problems with losing reception due to a loose antenna connection; I bent the outer ring inside the tuner and the antenna fit tight ... no reception issues since then (nine months as of this writing).
Pros: Great reception, easy to install
Cons: None other than the loose antenna (fixed with a slight crimp on the unit) Downgraded one star since it should not have needed that.
Super easy to install, works Great, the quality of sound is like night and day. I purchased through Crutchfield, I wish I could have activated through Crutchfield..... Sirius customer service is lacking... Crutchfield, 5 Stars easy....
Pros: Easy install, everything is hidden, antenna is small. Sounds great. Working with Crutchfield!!
Cons: Dealing with Sirius,,,,,, :-(
Works great
Pros: Better reception than that stock stereo had
Cons: None
I live in a small town with no tall buildings or obstructions and this tuner keeps losing signal. I am using my trucks Shark Fin Anttena. Never had a problem with stock tuner and Shark Fin Anttena. Installed in 2011 Silverado with new Kenwood DDX372BT head unit. Evrything was professionaly installed
Pros: Sounds Great.
Cons: Loses Signal all the time.
Easy install and works great!
Pros: Magnetic base makes for easy install.
Cons: Tricky running the wires if you're not a car installer.
This product is great. If you combine this with a ready stereo it gives you seriusxm while giving you a clean dash. It is easy to install small and light.
Pros: Small, easily put in
Cons: None
Works as advertised. Easy to install, great customer support.
was easy to install works great
Very easy install. Works great.
Pros: Excellent sound!
Cons: None.
Had the dash-mounted Sirius, but installed this when I upgraded my Wife's stereo. Works great. Just be aware, that if you're changing from a dash mount like I did, the old antennae won't work. You'll have to run the new one. Having the old one to follow made this easy though. No connection problems. It even works sitting in the garage.
Great value
Pros: Easy install sound great
Cons: None
Works great, easy install that would've been easier if I bought it with my new Sony MEX-5000BT. The complaints in previous reviews are misunderstandings of how the 3 months free works. I went to the website after getting a signal on XM Ch1, selected 'Activate Radio', popup had Big Sirius logo, Big XM logo, and a small link at the bottom 'SiriusXM', clicked that, entered my radio ID, and the offer was very clear. Entered my billing info, first payment due in 3 months. Those who have cancelled Sirius know that right after cancelling service your mailbox and email will fill up with 5 months for $20 offers. The RWD/FWD features are not supported with my radio, a little disappointing, but the All-Access package includes internet service and the in-vehicle tuner has many more channels than my OEM XM radio did. Good value, easy install, crystal clear satellite radio with no commercials. If they advertised it as $50 Down w/3 $20 payments for 6 months of every major sporting event, every genre of commercial-free music, all the major news networks, syndicated talk shows, and the King and Queen of All Media, Howard and Oprah, all available anytime you're in your car, in front of your computer, or within reach of your smartphone you'd already have it, not reading reviews about it.
Pros: Integration with my Sony radio, works thru the phone app, never a need to connect any wires to the front. More channels than I can get through during my 45 minute commute.
Cons: None, just wish I'd bought a better headunit with a larger display. SiriusXM is the best radio on the radio.
Truly plug and play! No secrets. I ran the antenna to the dashboard and it works perfectly.
Pros: It works
Cons: None
Looses connection to satellite to often.
Pros: Small
Cons: Losses reception.
It's an XM/Sirius tuner. Changed my subscription a bit. The give you plenty of cable to install the antenna. The magnet is very strong to hold it on.
Awesome product. Easy to install. Just works. Plug it in and go.
Works well easy to install and very easy to hookup
Pros: Very easy way to have Sirius XM
Cons: Nothing
This product works well I haven't had any problems and it was easier to install but could have been better with a wire harness
Pros: It works well
Cons: Installation could be easier with a direct wiring
Nice add on for the Pioneer Avic 8000nex. You get album art and are able to rewind music. Plus I got 3 free months of service.
Pros: Price. Easy install. 3 free months
Cons: None
It's great to have the option to listen to satellite radio.
Far better than prior versions - no more constant hot battery lead, no more bulk and challenge to place behind the dash. This is super easy to install and was just as easy to update with Sirius XM too. Two thumbs up.
Pros: Small, easy to install, good price
Cons: Ability to use old antenna would be nice but is not critical.
This is essential to keeping your sirius if your changing from factory to something else...but I was told that I HAD to use the antenna with this kit. At least for my vehicle I did NOT have to do that. I could use the factory cable (watched a youtube video) and not have to use the antenna that came with this. This was big for me, because I wanted LESS wires to deal with...not more. So I was able to tie into the factory wire and it works great!!
Pros: Reasonably priced.
Cons: Cord that goes from the head unit could be a little longer.
I love having my satlelite controls on my radio instead of having a separate tuner for XM.neat and less dash clutter.
This is the must have for any car. I have to have my XM.
Pros: Must have.
Cons: Angela a little challenging to run....but you just gotta do it.
Very easy to install and works well for my application.
Product worked well.
Pros: Easily hocked up , good instructions
Cons: None
Very simple to intall and very large variety of genres of music
Very easy to install and looks clean like factory. Also the antenna is low profile and doesn't stand out.
Totally satisfied with this unit. Sound, features, easy to use. The unit fit perfectly and was relatively easy to install. Using the "Vehicle Specific" kit, supplied install manual, and wire harness, I had the unit on and working in a few hours. If it sounds this good with factory speakers I cant wait until I can upgrade to better speakers. The navigation and satellite radio... GREAT. The Crutchfield team was awesome. From helping me choose the system to fit my budget and what I wanted.Their tech support is second to none if not better. They knew the product and were familure with my vehicle
Works Great with Radio, not easy to put in but worth it
Pros: Great product
Cons: difficult to install
Works great. Was easy to install, with clear instructions.
Pros: Complete unit, just plug and play .
Cons: none
What can I say. Does exactly as it says.. Siriusxm ready? You're good to go.
Pros: Plug and play
Cons: None whatsoever
I installed this behind a new Kenwood head unit that my son got me for my birthday. It took about an hour for the entire package and the results were fantastic. I went on a hunting abs camping trip where we had no radio or cell service and the SiriusXM worked with out flaw. I love it.
Pros: Works when you don't have radio stations. Lots of choices of music or radio styles.
Cons: 20 bucks a month for service. Lots of extra wire even for my tahoe.
A snap to install and easy antenna routing. The 3 month free subscription that comes with the tuner is the best package that XM offers. It gives you a chance to see what channels you like so you can pick the right package for you.....
Pros: Easy install and antenna is small, about the size of a matchbook..
Cons: none
Easy to install and set up. Running ant wire was a pain in my car.
Pros: Easy to install except ant wire.
Cons: The box said 3 free months, but when I called, Sirius would only give me 2 months free. False advertising!Crutchfield response on 10/27/2014 We are working with SiriusXM to get this corrected for the customer. He should receive three months of free programming, not two.
I connected the SiriusXM SXV200V1 tuner to my Kenwood DPX500BT unit. Installation was a snap. I already had an XM antenna installed from a previous XM radio so I did not need to run the wire again. I called SiriusXM to activate this new tuner and received 3 months of free service. Tuner works as advertised. Highly recommended.
Pros: Arrived 1 day ahead of scheduled delivery date. Easy installation.
Cons: none
It works like it's supposed to! What else can I say? 5 stars!
Pros: It works like it's supposed to!
Cons: none
Extremely easy to install and quick to set up. Highly recommended
Pros: Easy plug and play
Cons: Activation with XM was a little slow
The receiver is good. Nice and compact does it's job well. The antenna cable is crap. I carefully installed it (I thought) and by the time I was done the housing had been cut in multiple locations and kinking is bad as well. Bought an aftermarket antenna and cable which was installed without damage.
Pros: Receiver is great/
Cons: Antenna cable is horrible.
great xm radio for xm ready radio!
Pros: hidden
Cons: none
Its easy to install and works perfectly with my radio. Great product at a great price!
Pros: Easy to install and works perfectly.
Cons: None
works great
Pros: super easy to install
Cons: I wish someone would make an adapter so the existing ant. on the car could be used
Great addition to my stereo. Glad I got it.
Pros: Lets me control the xm directly through my stere and get rid of the extra device I had in my car
THis is a great add-on to my new JVC V200BT. Simple installation. The instructions tell you that you have to use the antenna that comes with the Tuner and can't use the factory car antenna. Hogwash! In my case and I'm not saying in all cases, all I had to do was to remove the plastic connector housing for the factory antenna and then plugged it into the tuner. Works Great. The connector was a perfect match, just the plastic that was used to hold it in place on the old radio was in the way
Simple plug and play into my Kenwood headunit, wiring and the antenna mount were easy. I have a 2014 Ram 2500 and went through the third brake light. Looks factory! Love it.
Pros: Simple to add on
Cons: none
plug and pllay
Pros: plug it in and it works perfectly
Cons: The antenna should be able to hook up to the factory installed ones instead of having to install a new one.
Pros: just like its built in, nice display on head unit
Cons: Bulky when installing the head unit, have to run another antenna instead of using the factory XM antenna
Nice unit, easy to install the tuner, getting the antenna wiring to the roof of the vehicle with out the wiring showing was more of a challenge. Clear sharp music and great selection of programing available.
Pros: Easy to connect to unit, I started with a Jenson and upgraded to a Kenwood and both were a breeze to connect to, just plug in one plug and all connections to the unit are made including power. Lead was long enough to give you plenty of options to mount the unit without too much to find space for the wiring & designed to just be wire tied to any convent support of bundle of wires back out of the way of the receiver. Good engineering. You get to listen to the programing at once with reduced func
Cons: Antenna has to be mounted outside the vehicle away from all other antennas on the roof. Plenty of lead is provided for this but the end into the unit makes it hard to get through some of the smaller areas and through the firewall under the dash. It would be nice to be able to take it off or have a small plug like cameras to route with. Also the link provided to sign up for service is the wrong link and I had to contact Sirius to get the correct link. Sirius seamed used to this.
Pros: na
Cons: na
Installed in a 1986 Volvo 244 went very easy and hook up to the Sony Radio provided no difficult. Antenna placement different that those recommended to take advantage of rain trove near front windshield on the drivers side. Made the phone call to transfer an account to new radio and was done in a couple of hours.
Pros: Install easy to complete on a Volvo
Cons: My system will now need better speakers but that will come later.
Easy to install, great reception
This was pretty much a plug and play install. I put the antenna on the dash seem to work just fine.
Pros: Plugged right into the back of my head unit no wiring needed.
Works exactly as the factory units in my other vehicles!
Pros: easy to install works perfectly
Cons: none
Frankly, I'm bummed that I even had to buy the unit when replacing the factory double-din on my 2006 F150 since SAT was part of the factory package. I really didn't want to have to pull out the factory antenna and wiring. Fortunately after cracking and removing the square housing from the female adapter with a pair of pliers, it plugged right into this unit and worked like a charm. in the F150 I just fixed this new unit to the top of the factory SAT box with a dab of super-glue and have been enjoying SAT radio on my new Kenwood deck ever since.
Pros: worked with factory antenna on 2006 F150
Cons: .... none that are serious. I suppose it would be nice if sirius would beam data and I could get online with this thing.
This is so worth it. I actually thought the installation would be more difficult but it was simple. Mind you I have zero technical know how and I did it. It took all of maybe 20 minutes for me to install and I was enjoying howard again! In love with the fact I no longer have to listen to endless commercials.
Pros: Easy install.
Very easy to install and work great!
Easy to install and sound quality is great.
Pros: Number of channels to select from and consistent high quality sound.
Cons: Once the free 90 day trial is up selecting and negotiating a pricing plan might be a challenge.
Works good with the radio but had a hard time getting it activated. Was transferred to three different people before I got one the could activate this particular model and apply the 3 months free perk. Not Crutchfield's fault for that.
Very simple to install and comes with everything needed. Very Straightforward.
Pros: nothing missing..
Very nice to have. Saves alot of time
Pros: Very helpful. Saved alot of time trying to do wiring
Cons: None
Worked perfectly
Easy to install with the guidance from Crutchfield technical support. The Kenwood stereo hook up married straight to the wiring of the Sirius XM SXV200V1 and was easily concealed and out of sight. The selection of channels is endless and very entertaining.
Pros: Plays the music clear and concise. Stereo sound is excellent. The news channels are very complete for any type of listener.
Cons: Unable to get a listing of channels so I have to listen to all before I can decide what to listen to and program in the radio.
Only thing in town if one wants XM. Would be nice if more features were offered as in the factory radios.
Pros: Works as promised
Cons: Lack of options
Sirius is awesome! I get so many stations and don't have to worry about losing reception when I'm driving in rural areas!!
Good Piece... integrates xm and headunit like one unit. Small and easy to stash behind the dash.
Pros: small and easy to hide
Cons: have to buy ... extra cost xm should provide with paid service
Nice little addition. Plug and play. Takes up little room behind radio
Pros: Simple to connect. Works good from radio
Cons: None
A nice replacement for my Onyx.
Works with my new JVC system
Pros: Easy to connect
Cons: None
The SIRIUS signal worked right away and it is easy to attach.
Pros: Easy to install if you are putting in a new radio.
Cons: Too much wire and stuff to fit behind the radio. You need a lot of room back there. Also, the box or listing doesn't mention the fact that you have to find a way to install the antenna box on the exterior of your car.
The radio was easy to install and activate. I am really glad I spent the extra money on SiriusXM tuner addon when i replaced the OEM radio in my Chrysler.
If you want Sirius, you gotta spend the bucks
Pros: Works just fine
Cons: With unlimited data on your phone, you may want to go with Spotify or IRadio/Beats, etc
This tuner works quite well and I am satisfied with the performance. I also like that it was very compact and therefore easy to install. The only concern was that my existing satellite antenna cable did not fit very snugly and so I had to rig it up to stay in place. Other than that, great tuner, easy install.
Pros: Compact, easy fit, good performance
Cons: None reall.
This tuner is about the simplest addition to my radio system. I installed the antenna at the rear of my Jeep Patriot and ran the wire along the interior floor parallel to the main harness. The only issue I had was the size of the plug compared to the wire makes it extremely difficult to run it through a grommet. Luckily I had another larger wire going in the same grommet afterwards. This is unique to how I ran the wire myself. If you choose a different location you may or may not have a similar problem.
Pros: Easy and straight forward
Cons: Plug size compared to wire difficult in tight spots
Easy plug and play installation for use with my Alpine X008u headunit. I was able to use the factory antenna off the back of the stock radio in my 2014 Jetta TDI. I definitely recommend this product. I used an XM receiver on my older Pioneer AVIC-X930bt, and that box made by Pioneer was big and bulky. This one is small and easy to find a place to put it behind the radio.
Pros: Sounds great. Small. Uses factory Sirius/XM antenna in my car.
Cons: None.
Easy plug and play and great reception!!! I even have mine under my dash so you cant see any wires or the antenna
Pros: Easy install, great signal
Cons: none
Great Product. Was very quick and easy to install. I have been an XM subscriber for a long time using a plug and play. This unit is out of sight and works great with my Kenwood system.
Works well. Haven't had any problems.
Pros: Work easily.
Cons: None
Kickin it
The SiriusXM SXV200V1 Tuner was the perfect addition to our new Kenwood stereo and fit together seamlessly without wires, or mounts hanging off the dash. Installation was simple following Crutchfield instructions. Works wonderfully!
Pros: Fits invisibly behind dash without patch cords, etc. Great SiriusXM reception and programming.
Cons: SiriusXM subscription is pricey and higher than when I previously subscribed but programming is also much broader. No issues with the SiriusXM SXV200V1 Tuner.
Verry easy to install. Just plug it in and set up the antenna and you have sirius.
Pros: Easy to install Great sound
Cons: None
Works great! Nice to have SiriusXM again. Installation was easy. Connect unit to radio and antenna and you are ready to go.
Added SiriusXM to my 2000 Porsche Boxster as part of the installation of a Kenwood DDX471HD. I love having the music and news along for the ride.
Pros: Ease of installation
What can I say, it's a satellite receiver. A breeze to install, just plugs into my receiver, and in my case, even the factory satellite antenna plug fit, although a little loose, so there was no need for the included magnetic mount.
Pros: Easy to install.
Cons: None
I had the stock unit in my chevy for the xm which I was very happy with. When I decided I wanted to replace the factory unit with an aftermarket upgrade, I was a bit nervous. This unit is very good and performs as well as the original. The only problem you will run into is with XM customer service. I could not understand the first one and when I cancelled the old subscription and opened the new one, they seemed a bit confused.
Pros: good unit, small and tidy.
Cons: noe at this time
Purchased this item as Open Box , saved about $10.00 . Overall this thing workers as well ( if not better ) then my factory unit. Pleased with my purchase.
Pros: Works great !
Cons: None.
Its a great radio, crystal clear reception and great sound!
Pros: Easy set up and easy to find stations
Cons: None
You'll never find a simpler way to hook up to SiriusXM. Just plug it in to the radio0, attach the controller and mount the antenna and Bobs' Your Uncle!
Pros: Simple, good price.
Cons: SiriusXM subscription--they aren't giving these away...at all!
bought this from crutchfield for my kenwood ddx-790 . hookup was one plug into back of head unit and the antena to the little black box of the sirius xm . works great i love it . it is a must have for me .
Pros: ez hook up .
Cons: none from crutchfield .
Very easy to connect, call, subcribe and you have coast to coast music. I was even able to plug in my factory antanne.
Pros: ease of use, small size makes it easy to stash in the dash somewhere.
Cons: None noted
Easy to install and easy to setup
Worked right out of the Box. Found there IS a differnec between Sirius and XM. My wife's car has Sirius. This is an XM receiver. Difference is in programs that come standard. With this unit to get the rebate, you sign up for ALL the channels for 6 months to get 3 months free ( total of 9 months ), after that, I plan just to get the music package, so to me it doesn't matter which Extra;s are included with Sirius and which are included with XM
Pros: Great add on .. small easy to connect and use.
Cons: none
The cord is really, really long on the antenna but beware that if you cut it to shorten it that it is not an easy cable to reconnect. It's basically a RCA cable with a core wire inside a plastic sleeve with aluminum foil around it and surrounded by a bunch of really thin, really wispy, wires (more like "fibers") that are really thin, hard to strip without cutting, and consequently difficult to solder. The core is fairly stiff (although thin) and easier to solder. I wish I never cut it as it was a real pain to solder it together again. As for Sirius/XM -- well, it's okay but the sound quality is worse than internet radio if you have a good 4G signal.
works flawlessly with avic 7000nex
This was a snap to install.
Pros: Everything just fit
Cons: Can't buy a con from this one.
Great product
I highly recommend this product! It's VERY easy to install and I have had no issues with it at all.
Pros: Love the CD like clarity. It was VERY easy to install ad it only has two connections. Recommended!
Cons: None
Not difficult to hook up
Pros: Easy to set up
Cons: Hard to install
Installed into my 2012 Ram 1500, used a satellite antenna adapter to use the factor installed antenna. Works perfect with the Pioneer 4000-nex
Great to have SiriusXM in my 2002 GMC Envoy. This unit works as advertised. One caution...be sure to tune to channel "001" not "1" like the instructions say when you activate your radio. If all the channels do not show up, then tune the radio to "001", go to your SiriusXM Online Account for this radio, and send a Refresh Signal to the radio. All your channels should show up.
Plug and play. Not many ways things can go wrong
Great XM Tuner, easy to install, clear reception, sounds great.
Pros: I bought this during the 3 month free service promotion, so that was an automatic Pro. The reception is great, the installation was quick, & easy. There are so many channels that play great commercial free tunes. Something for everyone.
Cons: None that I can think of.
couldnt be happier hate spending the monthly but everything costs money so ill pay for the service as it makes life better driving to work or on road trips!
Pros: good selection your in control
Cons: monthly subscription costs
Great service and I like the product
Great reception, easy to set up. I wish the cord was longer so I could run it to the back of my car instead of the front.
Seems to work pretty well. Price was reasonable.
Pros: Easy Installation. Directions are very good,
Cons: Don't know if it's not a good antenna, or maybe it's the terrain, but loses the signal intermittently. I do have a proper installation.
Does what it's supposed to
Pros: It works
Cons: none
Plug-n-Play satellite tunes for your auto!
Pros: Easy to install. New antenna design.
Cons: The audio volume is lower and quality is less for satellite reception.
Good music without having to worry about switching channels while traveling
Pros: easy to install
Love this product. Really simple to install, just plug in a few wires and run the antenna and that's it.
Pros: Love the tagging for artists and songs, and game alerts.
Cons: None
Easy installation
I purchased the Kenwood KDC 8597 stereo and matched them up with two pairs of the KFCX683C speakers for the front and rear locations on my F-250 Super Duty as recommended by the Crutchfield staff. I also purchased the receiver system for the Sirius XM radio.The sound is excellent! I install it myself, it took about 3 hour total but it was an easy install, thanks to the instructions provided. I would recommend Crutchfield to everyone looking to upgrade their factory radio, the products are great and their prices are right on!
Pros: Easy install, excellent sound!
Cons: none
Great product easy to install and "hide" behind the dash
Pros: Complete package Small easy to install
ordered with Kenwood DNX891HD. Basically a plug-n-play install. Replaced OEM Nav/Radio that had XM Satellite. The car's OEM antennas / XM tuner seemed less prone to drop outs due to obstructions. I drive / live in suburban area where trees are most common tall structures are trees. I wish a converter was included to use original OEM antennas
Pros: compatible wit unit, ease of install
Cons: Antenna / unit seems more prone to signal drops.
I purchased this tuner with a new Pioneer receiver and after approximately 3 months it became stuck on Channel 1 and wouldn't accept a refresh signal. After jumping through all kinds of hoops (over an hour) with SiriusXM customer service and them sending refresh signal after refresh signal, they agreed to send me another tuner. Now, a little over 3 months later I have the same issue, which again could not be rectified during a half hour phone call to customer service. They are now sending me a different type of tuner (Onyx), which I do not want.
Pros: Small and easy to install.
Cons: Not reliable for the long term.
Once again another very easy install. I like this because I do not always want to hear talking on my radio, I want music. I get so many choices of stations to listen too.The antenna is not even noticeable on the outside of my truck.
Pros: plenty of antenna wire.
Such a great item to have while I am riding my Harley down long roads
Can play, stop, fast forward songs and can be used in locations due to its size.
Pros: Compact
Cons: None
I will get right to it. Very easy to install. Very easy to use. Very good deal. So easy a Caveman can do it.
Pros: Easy install. Small and compact.
Cons: None.
I love it
Unit functions as advertised. Antenna too sensitive. Under trees or around buildings and signal is lost. Unit does not seem to buffer the signal to play thru intermittent signal losses.
Pros: Plays as it should when the signal is strong.
Cons: antenna way too sensitive to blockage. I have other automobiles with XM factory installed, no issues.
I needed a new radio in my Ford 2002 Ranger and decided on a Kenwood DPX500BT. I have Sirius in my Ford 2011 Fusion and looked forward to having it in the Ranger too.
Pros: Simple to install and register.
Cons: I didn't know the antenna was to be mounted on the outside of vehicle with a magnet. Would have preferred inside on windshield like factory installed in Fusion.
so far so good ,put this on my motorcycle and seems to work good once i found a antenna location.
Pros: easy to hook up to a aftermarket receiver that is siriusxm ready
Cons: none so far only had it a couple of weeks.
Easy install and great to have satellite in my pre-satellite era car. Works exactly like my other factory satellite equipped cars. Installing the antenna on my rear deck in the car was easy and stealthy. Reception is great with the antenna inside the car.
Pros: Easy install and great reception.
Cons: None
easy to install and works well with alpine radio
Pros: easy to install and works well with alpine radio
Cons: none
I love this product.
Pros: Easy to install.
Cons: The only difficulty was routing the antenna from inside the vehicle to outside.
easy to install when replacing the head unit. this is the second Sirius tuner that I have and installed. this new model is working great and takes up very little space. all the track titles and channel names are displayed on my kenwood head unit. great sound quality.
Pros: small easy to hide, easy install, fair price, quick shipping from Crutchfield
Cons: none that I have found yet in 30 days
This is the best way to add Sirius XM to your auto. I paired it with a Kenwood DDX471HD receiver and it's a perfect fit.
Pros: easy to install, out of sight with no wires showing. Looks like a factory install.
Cons: NONE!
plugged right in and i was up and running fast
Works great. Very compact. Much easier than hooking up and external radio, wiring and such. Antenna is small. Using in my Jeep TJ. Great product.
Pros: Small, out of site. Great reception.
Cons: None
It was easy to install and any problems I had Tec support was quick to help me in any of the many products I've purchased
Pros: Easy installation
Works Great!
Cons: Just wish I knew that I needed it when I ordered my head unit that supposedly said "satellite ready"
Ordered this unit when my head unit died on my 2005 Dodge Ram. I was interested in a digital media unit since my family doesn't use disc's when we are traveling. I was also deciding between a HD unit or a Sirius XM unit. I did not find a HD unit within my needs, and thought I would buy this unit with the Sirius XM attachment. This was a simple install thanks to the directions and the supports of Crutchfield. I went ahead and soldered the wire and heat shrinked to make sure the connection is secure. The dash comes apart and it was a bit tight adding the Sirius XM module behind the unit, but it fit with a little of finesse. Bluetooth wire hid behind the dash and attached to the driver's side sun visor with no kink or problems.
Pros: More stations added through my head unit control. Sirius XM unit hidden behind the stereo. Great for road trips.
Cons: Subscription required for Sirius XM. I wouldn't recommend for a short commute.
The best thing about this tuner is the ability to pause live radio. Other than that, I don't like that I can't use the antenna the stock stereo was using. Had to hook it up to the included little antenna and mount it on my dash. Its not really noticeable, by it still annoys me. The other problem I have is the volume. I have to turn up some bass settings and turn up the volume when I switch to satellite from any other source. I don't understand why the source is so weak. Unfortunately there is not any other options besides a separate stand alone unit, which would defeat the purpose of me buying a SXM ready Pioneer.
Pros: Pause live radio
Cons: Antenna and volume
This is a good unit, and it work's very well with my head unit, and the installation was simple and easy.
Warning: This is an XM tuner. I had Sirius radio on my previous stereo for the past 14 years. I had this SiriusXM tuner installed today. When I called Sirius to move the service to this new tuner they told me that this is an XM tuner not a Sirius tuner. The problem with that is, you do not have access to the same set of channels unless you pay $35 more a year. When I complained to the SiriusXM reps they told me to remove this tuner and install a "Sirius" tuner to avoid paying the extra fees to keep my current channels. The problem is that none of these tuners indicate that they are an "XM" or a "Sirius" tuner. The only way to tell is my the radio ID. This is a warning to all current Sirius subscribers. If you want to keep channels like Howard Stern, you will have to pay an extra $35 a year to do so.
Pros: Easy to install Works well
Cons: This is an XM tuner... not Sirius
Easy to install and counting the antenna connection, only two wires to worry about (the antenna connection and the receiver connector).
Pros: Easy installation and very small footprint.
Cons: If you are retrofitting to an existing XM antenna and it has the old style FAKRA connector, the tuner module has a recessed new style coax connector. If you want to use your existing antenna, you'll need to purchase an adapter.
The tuner was very easy to hook up. It's pretty much idiot proof. As soon as I plugged it into my Jensen radio all the features came up on the screen and it was very easy to operate. The only bad part of the entire installation was when I called to get it activated SiriusXM told me there was not a 3 month free listening program that was written in the detailed when I bought the tuner. I had to give the product 3 stars because someone dropped the ball and I'm the one who had to pay for it.
Pros: Very easy installation and easy to understand instructions.
Cons: When I bought the tuner it was supposed to come with 3 month free activation, but it did not. I had to pay to listen instead of being able to see what package I wanted. I did not get the free 3 month activation. If I wanted to listen I had to pay immediately.Crutchfield response on 3/26/2014 The promotion required that in order to get the 3 months of free service, you first have to sign up for a minimum of 6 months of paid service. Since this was a promo from SiriusXM, unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to change that. SiriusXM subscribers can always change programming packages when the current subscription expires.
The other reviews don't lie. This is a simple plug and play operation. I pulled out my Pioneer X9500BHS (also bought from Crutchfield) and plugged the Sirius cable in. Then I just ran the antenna to my dash (didn't want to deal with outside routing) and put it back together after testing that it worked. Simple activation of my account and it was up and running. Even on the dash I get 2/3 or 3/3 bars all the time. Under an hour for installation and that's taking time.
Pros: - Dead simple install - Great reception even on dash - Relatively low price
Cons: - None so far.
quick and easy install
Pros: easy
Cons: nothing
After 11 months of use, it started losing signal and dropping connection. Could get it back with refresh, but if I shut off the vehicle, I lost everything again. Local installer tested and said it was the head unit. Replaced head unit and the same thing happened again. I called Crutchfield and they referred me to Sirius/XM who told me that there is a known technical issue with this module. They will be replacing it for me this week. Make sure if you buy one, that you speak to SIRIUS/XM before you do in order to avoid buying a new head unit. I now have a spare pioneer deck to put in my son's car!
Pros: Worked great
Cons: Stopped working
This unit is so easy to install.... Works as advertised and so far, we all like it.
Pros: ease of installation.
Cons: None so far.
Great item, plug and play
Pros: Plugged right into my Jensen Sirius radio ready unit!
Cons: None
Bought the earlier version of this years ago for my Sirius experience. Had to run 5 different cables to get it working. Real hassle. The new updates tuner was 3 wires, the antenna and the plug for the back of the radio. It is much smaller than it's predecessor and fit right behind the radio. Still great quality and still great service in a smaller package. Would recommend to anyone!
Pros: Smaller, less wires than previous Sirius tuners, easy to use and easy to install.
Cons: Nothing
I love my new radio and sat radio it's all I even listen too
Pros: Having the ability to hear where ever I go and not having to worry about channels being within range
Cons: Bridges it cuts out for a second
The SIRIUS adapter was one feature on my new Sony radio that went easily and worked the first time. Following a tip I found online I was able to use the existing SIRIUS antenna and dispense with running yet another wire.

Oct 29: Supreme Court Oral Argument Recap Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons
Room 603
Supap Kirtsaeng helped to finance his doctorate in mathematics at the University of Southern California by having friends and family send him copies of textbooks sold at a lower price in Thailand and the selling them in the United States. Although these books were lawfully purchased in Thailand, Kirtsaeng was sued by John Wiley & Sons for copyright infringement.
In this case, the Supreme Court revisits the relationship between the Copyright Act's limits on importation of a copyrighted work without permission and the first sale doctrine. The Court divided evenly over this issue in a 2010 case pitting Costco against Omega.
The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments the morning of October 29. PIJIP is pleased to welcome Counsel of Record for both parties along with counsel for amici Costo and Omega to discuss the case and the argument.

Losing friends and loved ones is one of the most difficult transitions we will encounter in life. I try to meet people where they are in the pain they are dealing with having lost a beloved family member or a cherished friend, coworker, teacher, or fellow student. I walk with people through their grief offering comfort, a listening ear, and support knowing what they are experiencing can be life altering. I help them to be comfortable knowing that healing will be a slow process that is unique to each and every individual.

The loss of a job, a relationship or ones health can be pretty traumatic. However when you lose a loved one through death, nothing compares with this and it this can be devastating. My role as your therapist would be to come along side you and provide support. Grief and bereavement is a process that does not have a set timeline. When others expect you to have moved on or to have gotten over your loss, I will be there, not to rescue or fix it, but to accompany you as the healing process takes place. Using a variety of grief therapy techniques, I will provide you with the support and tools needed to get through one of the most emotionally draining and difficult times of your life.

It's natural to feel sorrow after the loss of someone we love--whether that loss be from death, divorce or estrangement. Moreover, our psychologists understand that each person copes and deals with grief differently. Our approach to grief and loss therapy focuses on healthy expressions of sorrow, acknowledging unhelpful patterns of thinking, and providing skills to cope with loss. This has proven to be a very effective approach when dealing with grief and loss.

We love Bond gadgets – in fact Q has always been like a posh old Santa to us. And thanks to his brilliance a few of Bond's greatest gadgets are now a reality that you can buy. Some might require a gun license or a second mortgage, but do you think those things would stop Bond?
Ericsson R380
First seen being used to control a BMW 750i in Tomorrow Never Dies, Ericsson liked the flip-open concept so much, it put it into production three years later. Sadly, the designers omitted the film phone's stun gun function.
Glastron Scimitar
Moonraker had its fair share of sci-fi gadgetry, but it was the film's stealth-like speedboat that inspired the Scimitar. It's a shame the integrated hang glider and bomb deployment system didn't make the final design.
Magpul FPG
While it might not be made from a fountain pen, cigarette lighter, cigarette case and cufflink like Scaramanga's famous golden gat, this Airsoft gun can be dismantled and folded down to about the size of a laptop battery.
Martin Jetpack
Although not technically a jetpack (it cheats via propellers pointed at the ground), this backpack booster is clearly inspired by the one used by Bond in Thunderball. It finally goes on sale next year for US$20,000 (£12,470).

5 Trades to Take After the "Obama Crash" - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- I guess Mr. Market voted Romney.
>>Trade 5 Hated Names to Beat the Market
Stocks got gut punched in yesterday's post-election market session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 both falling more than 2.3% to mark the worst single day for stocks of 2012. But that shouldn't have come as a huge surprise -- market selloffs are historically pretty common after presidential elections, especially when stocks are already out of favor with investors.
According to data compiled by Bespoke Investment Group, yesterday's selloff ranked the fifth-worst one-day reaction in the Dow to a presidential election. But looking at the data a little bit closer, and some interesting patterns emerge. For starters, each of the other four biggest post-election drops happened when a Democrat was voted in, and maybe more importantly, each time was followed up by stellar stock performance over that president's term.
In fact, buying the Dow after the drop day, and holding until Election Day four years later would have generated average annual gains of 15.04% -- more than twice what the Dow averaged over that time period. No matter who you voted for on Tuesday, that's a pretty good reason to feel better about stocks.
That's why we're taking a technical look at five big names that are tradable this week.
If you're new to technical analysis, here's the executive summary.
Technicals are a study of the market itself. Since the market is ultimately the only mechanism that determines a stock's price, technical analysis is a valuable tool even in the roughest of trading conditions. Technical charts are used every day by proprietary trading floors, Wall Street's biggest financial firms, and individual investors to get an edge on the market. And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
Every week, I take an in-depth look at big names that are telling important technical stories. Here's this week's look at the charts of five high-volume stocks to trade for gains.
First up is $524 billion tech behemoth Apple (AAPL). This huge stock has been pulling back hard over the past couple of months, giving back 20% of its price as anxiety ramped up over whether the firm could justify a $700 (or even $600) price tag. But the selloff could be coming to an end -- here's what to look for.
Apple's trouble started up around the $660 level, when the stock triggered a head and shoulders top. Traders who shorted there had the chance to grab the lion's share of the move down. But even though Apple's drop has been big, it's only taken shares through one weak support level on the way down. That's important -- it means that the selloff has been "easy" rather than a meaningful exit from Apple spurred on by conviction selling. In other words, the stock has dropped because it moved through a range where there haven't been any buyers to begin with.
But there are buyers nearby. There are buyers right around the $558 level where shares closed yesterday, in fact -- it's a price that's acted as a floor for AAPL several times in the past, so it's a spot where Apple's drop could very well end when buyers start thinking that this Wall Street darling looks cheap again.
That said, I'd recommend very strongly against trying to catch the bottom in Apple; support levels do fail, and when they do, you don't want to be left holding the bag. Instead, wait for a bounce off of S1 -- the bounce lets us verify that those buyers are still hanging out at $558 before putting cash in the trade. We'll probably see that bounce today.
Ford Motor Co.
It's been the opposite situation lately at Ford Motor Co. (F) -- the Detroit automaker has been rallying hard since the end of July, most recently breaking out above an ascending triangle pattern to new 6-month highs. Even though Ford gave back 3% and change yesterday, there still a buying opportunity in this stock
Ford sported a runaway gap after breaking out of its triangle pattern, which meant that very few traders were able to jump onboard when the breakout happened. The throwback in shares is giving buyers a second chance at a low-risk entry.
Even though a throwback means that shares are sliding, it's a positive thing for shares of Ford because it gives the stock a chance to confirm newfound support above its $10.50 breakout level. I'd expect Ford to make a higher swing low off of yesterday's bottom -- aggressive traders should buy the bounce today, but I'd recommend risk-averse traders wait for Ford to prove it can catch a bid above Tuesday's close before jumping onboard.
Bank of America
A similar setup is shaping up in shares of Bank of America (BAC), it's just not as far long yet.
BofA is forming an ascending triangle, much like the one that Ford broke out of at the end of October. The pattern is formed by a horizontal resistance level and uptrending support -- basically, as shares of BAC bounce in between those two technical price levels, they're getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above resistance. For BAC, resistance comes in at $10 -- the breakout above that level is the buy signal for shares.
If you're a regular reader of this column, you know that talking about technical setups in real terms is crucial. After all, patterns like the ascending triangle don't work because of magic or geometry; it all comes down to supply and demand in the market. Resistance at $10 is a place where there's a glut of supply of shares. That's because it's a price where sellers have previously been more eager to sell and take gains than buyers were to keep buying. The breakout above $10 means that buyers have absorbed all of that excess supply at $10, and suddenly BAC doesn't have a barrier in the way of upside anymore. That's when you want to buy.
Intel (INTC) has been a mess lately. Shares are off more than 21% in the last three months, dragged lower by a struggling semiconductor industry that's coincided with a correction in the broad market. So, should you buy Intel here? Depends.
Intel has been consolidating sideways for the last couple of weeks in a price pattern called a rectangle. Consolidations are common, especially after a stock has made a large up or down move -- they indicate that investors are taking a breather to figure out their next moves in a stock. When shares break outside of the rectangle, we know whether buyers or sellers have won out.
In other words, you want to trade in the direction of a breakout in Intel. If shares are able to break out above the top of the rectangle at $22, then Intel is a buy. Otherwise, if shares fall through the bottom at $20.90, then this stock becomes a sell. Either way, I'd recommend keeping a tight stop on shares.
eBay Inc.
Last up is online auctioneer eBay Inc. (EBAY). Even though selling pressure has plagued the tech sector of late, eBay has been able to buck the trend, instead rallying more than 23% since the middle of the summer on strong earnings. But that doesn't mean that you've missed the trend -- EBAY is pointing to higher ground this week.
That's because EBAY is currently forming an inverse head and shoulders setup at the top of its uptrend. The inverse head and shoulders is a bullish setup that's formed by two swing lows at the same level (called the shoulders, by themselves they're a lot like a double bottom) that are separated by a deeper low called the head. The pattern indicates exhaustion among sellers -- and judging from the rally that EBAY has staged in the last quarter, sellers must be pretty exhausted indeed right now. While seeing this pattern at the top of an uptrend isn't textbook (it's typically a reversal pattern), the trading implications are the same: the buy signal comes when shares push through the $51 neckline.
And just in case you think that the head and shoulders is too well known to be worth trading, the research suggests otherwise: a recent academic study conducted by the Reserve Board of New York found that the results of 10,000 computer-simulated head-and-shoulders trades resulted in "profits [that] would have been both statistically and economically significant."
That's reason to pay attention to EBAY this week.

For the New Year's Eve revelers, there's new hope for designated drivers who have to slurp soft drinks.
Enter the "mocktail," or nonalcoholic cocktail mixed up by Cal State Northridge in league with a San Fernando Valley entertainment industry DUI prevention group.
The zesty Northridge Matador Cooler joins other mocktails designed by participating universities and bars across the state.
"People who don't drink. People who can't drink. People who are tired. The idea is to offer something festive, instead of Coca Cola," said Erin Meluso, president of RADD, a Studio City based group whose award-winning slogans include "Friends don't let friends drive drunk."
In 2010, 10,000 motorists died as a result of alcohol-related driving accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Formerly known as Recording Artists, Actors and Athletes Against Drunk Driving, RADD offered up suggestions for students over the winter break:
If you're planning to party on New Year's Eve, choose a designated driver or call a cab before venturing out.
Plan ahead to share your ride so everyone doesn't arrive in their own car. Visit www.collegisRADD.org to find what bars and restaurants offer free rewards to designated drivers.
And it suggested honoring designated drivers and nondrinking friends with the sexiest nonalcoholic drinks.
The Northridge Matador Cooler, mixed by the Klotz Student Health Center's Alive and Well Peer Educators, may be one of them:
- 1 oz. orange juice
- 1 oz. cranberry juice
- 1 oz. lemon-lime soda
- Add a drop of grenadine and a lemon twist. Serve in a wine glass or on the rocks.

I have a form with image upload and I check the allowed file extensions using the following array:
$allowedExtensions = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png');
Is there a way to express the values in above array in a case insensitive way so that "JPG", "Jpg" and "jpg" or "PNG", "Png" and "png" will all be accepted? I know I can add 6 more elements to the array to accomplish this but maybe there is a solution with preg_match() or other function that I can't think of.
Thanks for your ideas.
apply strtolower to the extension of the uploaded file and compare that to your array using in_array.
Hi there nayen,
What I would do, is to get the extension of the uploaded file, then downcase it and see if it's in the array.A bit like this:
$fileName = "myfile.JPG";
$allowedExtensions = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif', 'png');
$arr = explode(".", $fileName);
$extensionType = strtolower(end($arr));
echo in_array($extensionType, $allowedExtensions);;
Hope that helps.
Edit: Rémon was quicker
That's clever, couldn't think of it. Thank you both.
Not sure if you thought about this, or if there are reasons not to do this, but I usually do not validate against extension. Instead I validate against MIME type and that is provided in the Superglobals $_FILES via the ['type'] index.
Example from php.net
now verify the mime, i did not find
something more easy than verify the
'image/' ty^pe. if wrong tell it!
if(!preg_match('/image\\/i', $_FILES['attachment']['type'])) {
echo 'The uploaded file is not an image please upload a valid file!';
Why do I prefer MIME type? Because I'm a 98% Linux user and 90% of my files do not have extensions or have extensions that may not be typical
The example script I found on the web uses both extension validation and MIME type validation. I don't have that much knowledge to question why. If you are saying that checking MIME types will be enough, then I will use your code.
While I agree that checking mime type is better than checking file extension, I wouldn't use $_FILES to get it since that is user provided information and may well be false (see comment 1 at php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php).I would use file_info instead.
MIME Type is the type of file you received. An extension can be anything. For example, I've seen kiddie hacker scripts that use image uploaders to get their scripts on a remote server because the only validation used is extension. So they upload my-malicious-file.php.jpg, which passes some validation (not all), and they then look for a way to rename it and run it, or just a way to run it.
The MIME Type for that particular example would not contain 'image/', so it would fail the validation. It's really just my personal choice to use MIME Type over extension, but I think it is a logical decision (or at least a good topic for a bit of discussion :))
To be fair, I was lazy and took that straight from php manual (wanted to verify it was part of $FILES), but yes, [fphp]fileinfo[/fphp] is much much safer or you can use getimagesize() if you want to read other items too, such as the width/height of the image.

Well-designed learning environments bring tangible benefits to students of all ages, enhancing concentration, academic performance and overall happiness and wellbeing. We're proud to play our part in developing a better education system that nurtures, encourages and inspires.
We've gained extensive experience designing all kinds and levels of educational establishments: junior schools, senior schools, specialist schools, further education colleges and higher education universities and faculties. Our involvement includes client advisory roles and the full, detailed design and site monitoring of buildings and entire campuses.
Our approach combines creativity and simplicity; engineering systems need to be functional and easy to operate and maintain. This minimises capital, operational and maintenance costs.
Environmental sustainability delivers control and energy usage reduction, whilst also acting as a vital teaching resource to encourage awareness and embed sustainability principles in the next generation.
We apply the latest passive design techniques to create buildings that are inherently energy-efficient and good climate moderators. We use environmental modelling techniques to identify the potential for mechanical ventilation, ensuring the right air quality for optimum comfort conditions. Simulation allows us to make the best use of daylight and minimise the need for artificial lighting. Combined, these approaches keep energy consumption and energy costs low from the outset, and create a harmonious environment that's more conducive to learning.
We also pay particular attention to the acoustic performance of education buildings. Our acoustic engineering team specialises in designing spaces to manage sound based on the function and the users – crucial to an effective learning environment.
Fundamentally, we believe that education should take place in environments which do not compromise the wellbeing and prospects of future generations by degrading the climate, creating pollution and waste or having an adverse impact on biodiversity. A school, college or university campus which is designed with sustainability at its core is ultimately cheaper to operate and maintain; it's currently estimated that UK schools could save around £70m a year by reducing their energy costs. The potential savings will only escalate in the future.
We have our own in-house team of BREEAM specialists, well versed in the latest legislation and education sector best practice, to help clients exceed their aspirations for a more sustainable teaching environment.

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Even battling illness, Alyssa Reuble was still the best player on the field in Meadowdale's 1-0 Wesco 3A South softball victory over Mountlake Terrace on Friday.
Reuble pitched a complete-game two-hitter, striking out six while walking three for the Mavericks (2-0 league, 6-1 overall). She helped herself by delivering the game's only extra-base hit, a first-inning RBI double that scored Tiffany DeWayne, who had led off the game with a walk.
"Well, I think she (Reuble) did pretty good considering she has almost walking pneumonia," Mavericks head coach Dennis Hopkins said. "She's out there suffering with a viral infection in her chest so it's pretty amazing to go that long with that."
Reuble cruised through the first five inning giving up one hit and walking two, but the Hawks (0-1, 4-4) finally got to her in the bottom of the sixth. Lead-off batter Hannah Wilcox singled to center field, but it looked like Reuble would avoid trouble when the next batter Hannah Fickle grounded a ball back to her. Reuble tried to get the lead runner at second base and potentially start a double play, but her throw was low and rolled into center field giving the Hawks runners on first and second with nobody out.
She settled down quickly, getting Maddy Kristjanson to ground into a fielder's choice and Rene Bos to fly out to left-center field. Reuble walked Hannah Baisch to load the bases with two outs, but Kelsey Watson grounded out to third base to end the Hawks' biggest scoring threat of the night.
Mountlake Terrace coach Shannon Rasmussen was pleased with the way her team battled at the plate throughout the game.
"They had awesome at-bats," she said of her players. "They were right on it. We had a couple of the girls who fouled off six or seven pitches and kept battling till they got their pitch. (Reuble is) definitely one of the better pitchers we have seen this year, so I was pretty happy with how we hit her even not getting the big hits. We still found ways to get on."
Hannah Wilcox got both of the Hawks' hits in the game and finished 2-for-3.
Hopkins said after the game that Reuble began to tire in the late innings because of her illness and that he considered taking her out.
"We talked it over," Hopkins said. "Being a senior and this being a crosstown rival that they want to beat — she wants to go out beating them. She wasn't going to come off that mound until we had to carry her off."
It was a rare occurrence to see the Mavericks' offense struggle the way it did against Terrace, but they got just enough. Meadowdale was led by Reuble, who batted 2-for-3 and was the only Maverick to have multiple hits.
"Today was not a typical thing," Hopkins said of Meadowdale's lack of hitting. "I don't know if it's just the fact that it's Mountlake Terrace and they are our crosstown rival or if it's just finally a sunny day and we get to play. We aren't used to seeing the sunshine when we play."
As dominant as Reuble was from the pitcher's circle, Mountlake Terrace starter Rene Bos was every bit as impressive. Bos pitched a complete-game five-hitter, striking out six and walking only one.
"The last two games she has just been on fire," Rasmussen said. "She has been getting her pitches right where she wants them and just working the count and been able to go right after the batters."
Though the Hawks lost, Rasmussen said that there is a lot of momentum to be gained from the way they played against one of the top Wesco 3A teams.
"I think it was a definite confidence booster," Rasmussen said. "This is definitely the best I've seen our team play. Our defense was great and Rene did an awesome job pitching, so it's a big confidence booster going into the rest of our league games."
At Mountlake Terrace H.S.
Meadowdale 100 000 0—1 5 1
Mountlake Terrace 000 000 0—0 2 2
Alyssa Reuble and Rebecca Wright. Rene Bos and Hannah Fickle. WP—Reuble (5-1). LP—Bos (2-2). 2B—Reuble (M). Records—Meadowdale 2-0 league, 6-1 overall. Mountlake Terrace 0-1, 4-4.

Not once during the two years her father spent waiting for a liver did Ahren Exeter lose hope.
Not even after he was twice paged and prepped for surgery, only to be told the donor liver chilling in an icebox was a bad match.
"It wasn't even a question for us," said Exeter. "We knew he would get a transplant because of his positive energy and because of how many people he helped, how many lives he saved."
But no amount of positive thinking or good deeds could slow time. In August 2007, Robert Castledine, a career nurse and advocate for organ donation, died of liver failure. He was 53.
Stories like Castledine's rarely grace headlines. But they're increasingly common.
Last year in Utah there were 271 organ transplants and 524 people who needed new organs, 43 of whom died waiting for one.
That's a 10 percent increase from 2011 and nearly three times the mortality rate of a decade ago a disturbing trend with no easy remedy, say transplant advocates.
"Up until a few years ago we were saying the annual waiting list was about 350 people. Then it jumped to 600 at some point. Now it's at 732," said Alex McDonald, director of public education for Intermountain Donor Services, which does organ recoveries.
High donations, higher need • As kids, Exeter and her sister, Erica Castledine, loved visiting their dad at work. He was the head intensive-care nurse at a small-town hospital in Texas.
Castledine remembers walking the halls and marveling at the "fancy" machines. Years later, watching the heart-rate monitor above her dad's bedside, she wished she could turn back time.
Doctors think Castledine was exposed to hepatitis C at work. The virus leads to swelling and scarring of the liver, eventually squeezing out the healthy cells.
"Their best guess is he had it for 20 years and didn't notice because he was so healthy," said Exeter, who inherited her father's love for skiing and the outdoors, which is what drew the family to Utah.
Utah is insulated from the worst of nationwide organ shortages because it's less densely populated than other transplant centers. Nationally, 18 people die each day waiting for a transplant, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Utah has also consistently been in the top five states for organ donation, with 90 percent of families consenting at the time of death, said McDonald.
But that means even achieving a 100 percent consent rate would yield only about 10 more donors a year, he said. "That's huge for the 10 people who could be saved. But it's just 10 more livers and hearts. It's not the complete answer."
Meanwhile, demand for transplants is growing as the population ages and medical advances broaden the pool of people eligible for surgery.
Further heightening demand in Utah is its role as a transplant hub that draws patients from Idaho, Wyoming and Montana, which have no transplant centers, and Nevada, where hospitals only do kidney transplants.
Challenges - and solutions • Utah could benefit from efforts in other states to boost donation rates, which have remained flat for a decade, in part because fewer people are dying from injuries.
"Cars are safer, more drivers are wearing seat belts and more bikers are wearing helmets. That's a good thing. But it cuts down possibilities for organ donation," McDonald said. "Not everyone can be a donor. In order to keep the oxygen flowing to the organs, you have to die in the hospital while on a ventilator, generally from an injury."
And organs can't travel far. "With kidneys you have more time. It's a tough little organ. But with hearts and lungs you have only have 4 to 6 hours from recovery to implant," said McDonald. "With livers you have 10 hours."
Utahns can list themselves in another state where demand is less acute, but must have the resources to get to the out-of-state hospital within hours.
New technologies, however, promise to expand the donor pool, including a machine now being tested for Food and Drug Administration approval that keeps lungs warm and breathing before transplant.
The device could one day allow lungs to safely travel longer distances, or provide doctors enough time to repair those that, due to pneumonia, are currently of no use, said Abbas Ardehali, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery participating in the trial, and director of the heart and lung transplantation program at University of California, Los Angeles.
'Every donor is so precious' • Kidney patients comprise the lion's share of those waiting for organs. For those waiting for livers and hearts, the waits are longer and fraught with peril.
By the time Castledine was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 2005, jaundiced and weak, he was sick enough to be placed at the top of the wait list.
A year later, he had declined further and Exeter moved in to help her father's second wife care for him.
While hospitalized for renal failure in 2007, he slipped into a coma.
"At least we were all able to say goodbye," Exeter said. "Every single one of his siblings were there to watch him take his last breath."
Exeter believes the stigma surrounding transplant patients prevents some people from becoming donors.
"It's assumed they are alcoholic or diabetics who haven't taken care of themselves," she said. "But that doesn't come close to describing my dad. He would have used the heck out of that liver."
McDonald said there may never come a time when everyone who needs a transplant gets one.
"But we sure want to try," he said. "It's so rare that someone can become a donor, but when they do, one donor can save up to nine lives. That's why every donor is so precious."

Waiting for a transplant
Demand is growing for organ transplants in Utah as the population ages and donations remain flat. As of last week, 732 men, women and children were waiting for organs, most of them in need of kidneys.
475 need a kidney
179 need a liver
3 need a pancreas
20 need a kidney and pancreas
51 need a heart
4 need a lung
