2007 Nissan Versa (13 Reviews)
I've read alot of bad things about the Nissan Versa and I can only review based on my own experience and I have to tell you that I have my 2007 Hatchback since 2009 and I now have 85200 miles on it. Just now have I had a real breakdown. The throttle body needs replacing. Though its a $1000 job, it is not bad for being the first time. I have all the scheduled maint. done. Except for normal wear this car has been the most reliable I have ever had. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it does not have a keyhole for the trunk. So when that breaks if you don't fix it, you have to crawl through your back seat and open it from the inside. I even tow a small boat with it and no problems. It has been a great little car.
I Have a 2007 Nissan Versa and Im telling you I have had all kinds of problems. I was on the highway when the car just cut off. Then have had to replace the exhaust system, now the car will not pass the emission test now I need to replace heater control circuit sensor circuit bank, the tire pressure light will not go off no matter how much air I put into the tires and God only know what else. I an truly disappointed with this car because I have done nothing except put money into it. No wonder they keep calling me about a extended warranty on this car.
I have had to crank the engine at least twice to get the engine started immediately. Lately it has been a 10 minute embarrassing crank period, with others wondering if I am "in need a jumpstart?" in parking lots. It is not the battery, it seems. I suspect the sparks, the fuel filter, the fuel pump, or at worst, all three. My 2007 Versa SL is a hatch with under 20000 miles. I actually like the car overall (it does have severe blind spots…this is a big drawback, and the AC started becoming warm at around 15000 miles), and I normally recommend things I like. However, this fuel pump system seems to be my biggest reason for recommending with 70% thumbs up. If I am able to fix this spark plug/fuel filter/fuel pump situation on my own, then more percentage of my thumbs will follow. If I have to pay hundreds in repairs for this, expect another review with more negative comments!
We have a 2007 nissan versa 1.8L. We have put 45,000 miles on it with one long road trip through the snow and 8 moutain passes from WA to NC. The first problem, yup, was the tire light. It has a mind of its own. The second problem is the outer door handle. I unlocked the door one day and went to get into the car. I opened the door and pulled on the handle and voila! The door handle came right out! The second thing now is the brakes. They stick to the rotors. You have to lift the pedal off the floor to make the brakes come off of the rotors fully. Never again Nissan!!
Don't get the 6 speed manual!!!!!! Ratio to short! shifting is redundant! Clutch slave and clutch lemon!! Too much shifting burns it out quick!Should of got the CVT automatic! Oh well Live and learn.
I bought my Nissan Versa S brand new in late 2007. I had to take it in once for the engine motor mount went bad. It was still under warranty. I understand this is common problem with this make/model. I still get 34-35 miles to the gallon. I use regluar unleaded fuel. I am 43 years old drive 20 mins to work daily. Live in Central PA. I follow the maintance schedule fairly closely. Currently 63,000 miles. I love my Nissan Versa. Thinking of getting the Leaf once they get the design flaws worked out of the system. It is a "zippy" car around town. Handles nicely. You won't brake any speed limits climbing mountains in this car. But you will save $$$ in gas. Nice safety air bag systems through out the car. I too have had issues with the Tire Pressure Sensors. I understand that this is a common issue with these cars over 75,000 miles. Other than the pesky Nissan Hubcabs that keep losing their clips....I would recommend this car.
First, I really like my Versa; it has about 25k miles. Recently I have had a starting problem. I would have to crank the starter for a long time (greater than 15 s) before starting. I tried pumping the accelerator, etc. I called to dealer service department; the rep. said the problem was a faulty pressure sensor; the cost to fix the problem: over $300. If one were kind, they would say that I'm frugile. Anyway I came up with a FIX. Turn the ignition ON, pump the accelerator twice, then turn the key to START. The car starts in two or three cranks, everytime.
We purchased ou 2007 Versa Hatchback gently used (1 year old) from the Reno dealer and have never been happier. We have driven a few long trips since then (Southern california and Colorado) plus several short trips over the hill (Northern California). She has been great in the winter - survived many a snowstorm. I too have had issues with the tire pressure sensor and also chose to ignore it rather than dish out money for repair. After nearly 4 years, We have had our first real issue - the trunk will not open. It cannot be open with a key and we do not have a trunk pop on the smart key. It can be opened mannually through the interior release. It just started last night - checked fuses and other items mentioned on forums...but everything I have read suggests I would be better off taking it in. Even with this glitch...I would by it again.
I purchased a new, 2007 Nissan Versa in July 2007. One month later, I brought the car in after experiencing trouble starting the car. It took at least 5 cranks at a few seconds each to get the engine to turn over. They replaced the fuel pump assembly that August 2007. Same problem reappeared, which they replaced the fuel pump, again in March 2008. May 2008 - (third visit) brought it in and they replaced fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. August 2008 same problem arose and fuel pump replaced. Wrote Nissan Corporate Affairs, after my fourth visit to Nissan service, in August 2008 addressing the issue and received a voicemail response. Problem was fixed until December 2009, when fuel pump was replaced for the fifth time. I noticed the problem would occur on cold starts, after the car sat for at least a couple hours. And was more common during cold weather months. Nonetheless, a new car should not have problems like this! Now, in May 2011, I am experiencing the same problem. I am scheduled for my sixth fuel pump replacement. This time, however, was interesting because I am out of my factory warranty. Originally, the service manager tried to charge me $95 to diagnose the problem, despite my report of the same problem I have experienced intermittently the past 4 years. After an extended discussion, he agreed to diagnose the problem free of charge and the report revealed the problem was the fuel pump - yet again! This problem is covered under the power train warranty....but only 5 years and 50,000 miles. I'm quickly approaching that 50,000 mi and wonder how long this one will last... My advice - don't buy a Versa. Do some research and find that many Versa drivers are experiencing the same problem. Learn from others' mistakes! I wish I didn't like everything else about the car, but this issue is beginning to make me hate my Nissan Versa.
I love my Versa hatchback! 2007, and its been the best car ever. It is great on gas and has been on several long trips without any problems. Very roomy and has lots of packing space. It gets over 100 miles every day and is very reliable for my job. Cranks right up on those 5 degree winter days without delay. Heats and cools quickly. The only thing is that pesky tie light it's the only pain with this car. I just look at it as alittle personality. Yes i would by another Versa hatchback. OH Get the tan interior it is much easier to keep clean.
love my Versa, over 145K miles on it already, only issue thus far is the pesky tire sensor indicator light, i finally got to the point where i just ignore it! the dealer wanted 80$ to run diagnostics to figure out which sensor was bad, and causing the light to come on, and then another hundred bucks to replace the sensor! for that, I'll ignore the light! other than that, lvoe the car, nothing but oil changes in four years and almost 150K miles
This car is lemon. This is the last Nissan for me. Good buy Nissan, never again. Juan owner of the Nissan Verssa
the car has been good and very reliable, great on gas. Has been on a lot of road trips. But I am also done with Nissan, their after-sale service is awful, they are rude and try to tell you the thing that is wrong with your car is not covered under warranty. I brought my car in with knocking noise in the engine and it has 3 documented oil changes and one at home (that I did not keep receipt for) and it has 13,000 miles on it and they said it was probably sludge due to lack of oil changes and refused to service the car. I fought with corporate and they finally okayed a different Nissan service shop to look at it. It's still in the shop, so we will see. But bottom line, service sucks, before this we had a Nissan X-Terra and they always tried to weasel their way out of reparing stuff that was still under warranty. Done with Nissan.

I saw the trailer for STEALTH in front of STAR WARS III the other day. I was horrified. Have you seen this one yet? Let me sum up the plot for you:
Military creates new plane, which threatens the jobs of all the hot shot good-looking fly boys and girls they currently have in their upper echelons. The plane, you see, runs on its own.
But when the plane gets struck by lightning (I'm not kidding), its artificial intelligence is rewired (I'm still not kidding), and it attacks its creators (but of course), the cities, and more. Now, our hotshot fly boys and girls will have to destroy the supersmart killing machine.
Wow. And people call comic books stupid?!?

Retailers have been gunning for amazon.com for a long time and have tried in the past to use political muscle to "put them on a level playing field." When I say "level playing field," what that translates to in the eyes of retailers is "force them to pay state sales tax." Retailers have lamented that it is unfair that they have to make their customers pay sales tax while Amazon does not.
Now brick-and-mortar retailers have a new weapon to take on Amazon – the Alliance for Main Street Fairness. The group is pushing hard to change sales-tax laws in more than a dozen states including Texas and California. Before the group was associated with smaller, local businesses. Now it has the backing of retailers like Target, Best Buy Co., Home Depot, Sears, and Wal-Mart.
Amazon has fought efforts over the years to force them to collect sales taxes. Lawmakers would like to change all that but have to get by a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling; the court said that "only merchants who have a physical presence in a state have to collect sales taxes." Amazon collects taxes in five states: Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, Washington, and New York.
Still that hasn't stopped the fight to level the playing field, because, as retailers see it, Amazon is "eating their lunch." Last week retailers pushed for a new law in Illinois that forces Amazon to collect sales taxes if it employs marketing affiliates in the state. This law is similar to a law in New York – and if retailers have their way – it will be federal law.
U.S. Sens. Richard Durbin, (D-Illinois) and Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming) are also considering legislation to force online retailers to collect sales taxes.
This is bad news for Amazon and could be a slippery slope for other retailers and online goods sellers that don't currently collect taxes. Would Microsoft, Valve, or Sony like it if the virtual goods they sell suddenly had a state or federal tax attached? I think not. Consumers would not be amused.
We'll continue to follow this story as it develops.

You're at: Home > Shop > Shop by Brand > The Lord of the Rings > Stone Pendant - Gandalf Rune
From the South Island of New Zealand, these natural riverstones have been cut from the peaks of the southern alps that featured so prominently in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, ground by mighty glaciers, washed out to sea by the Rakaia, Ashburton, Hinds and Rangitata rivers and finally washed up on the shores of Kaitorete Spit. These origins mean every stone pendant is unique - small variations to shape, colour and texture contribute to the raw beauty of these stones.
Each stone is then engraved with a motif from Middle-earth - Arwen's Coronation Crown, A Gandalf Rune and The White Tree of Gondor. This is colour filled and each pendant is then hand polished with natural bees wax to give it lustre. And also to give off a faint and pleasant scent when worn.
Attached to each pendant is an adjustable black string and it is delivered in a soft leather pouch.
A fantastic gift for any Tolkien fan. Or fan of New Zealand.
These stone pendants are shaped over millions of years by natural forces until they end up on a riverbed. Each stone is therefore unique and while the samples in the photos are roughly representative, variations in size, colour and appearance, such as veins, will occur. We make every effort to choose the most beautiful and representative pendants for our website orders.

I'm looking at this pre-built gaming machine at overclockers: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=FS-086-OE
It's a bit expensive, but I'm willing to pay something around that as it's been a good few years since I properly upgraded my pc.
Are the specs on that machine worth the money? If not, what do you suggest I do to tweak it to make it better, without increasing the price.
I used to be pretty in-the-know with pc components, but I've not been following them for a year or so, so I don't have a clue what's decent anymore. I just assume the most expensive stuff is the best...

Bassmaster Classic set to invade Tulsa
The Bassmaster Classic is more than just a fishing tournament. It's a big show.
From the anglers who will be riding their boats into Tulsa's BOK Center like gladiators on chariots to the huge Outdoor Expo that will be held across the street, the Bassmaster Classic is a spectacle.
For Joe Armold of Yantis, Texas, this week's Bassmaster Classic on Grand Lake and in Tulsa will be his 22nd to attend.
"My wife claims Ray Scott is her boyfriend," Armold said of the founder of B.A.S.S. and the Bassmaster Classic.
On Sunday, the drama will build inside the BOK Center as the angler in the lead will take the hot seat until another guy weighs in and bumps him off. At stake is $500,000 for the champion.
Armold will be one of the thousands of people who will be traveling to Oklahoma this week for the Bassmaster Classic.
"That's kind of our vacation," Armold said of attending the Bassmaster Classic every year. "The Classic changed after ESPN bought it (in 2001). The first one ESPN put on was the most screwed up affair I have ever been to."
In 2010, ESPN sold BASS to a group of investors that included fishing icon Jerry McKinnis, longtime host of the ESPN series "The Fishin' Hole." Armold said since that sale, the Bassmaster Classic has become a better show.
"It's more geared to the public instead of just trying to make some money," he said.
Jim Loshbough of Elkhart, Ind., will be attending his sixth Bassmaster Classic. He likes to meet the pros and attend the Outdoor Expo.
"I like to see all the new stuff," he said. "I walked into the show part of the Classic last year and talked to three different pros in 10 minutes."
Loshbough has met people from all over the country at the Bassmaster Classic.
"For anybody interested in bass fishing, it's worth the price of admission," he said, noting that both the weigh-ins and the Outdoor Expo are free.
Michael Zaleski of Muskogee won't have to travel as far to attend this year's Bassmaster Classic.
"I try to get to as many as I can," he said.
Zaleski goes to learn as much as he can about catching bass.
"I love the fact that it's here (in Oklahoma)," Zaleski said. "I got friends coming up from Dallas that are going to be my guests.
"I really worry if there is going to be enough parking for everybody. Around the BOK Center, there isn't a lot of parking, and if they have crowds like they've have had in Shreveport and elsewhere, it's going to be tough."
Edmund and Mary Skarke of Tulsa would normally drive their motor home to the Bassmaster Classic.
The couple has gone to so many Bassmaster Classics that Mary Skarke doesn't know for sure how many. More than 20, she thinks.
"We enjoyed them," she said. "Back when he was fishing, we liked Jimmy Houston. And the one now who is winning a lot (Kevin VanDam), we enjoyed watching him, too."
Mary said her husband was surprised when it was announced a year ago that the Bassmaster Classic was coming to Oklahoma.
Edmund Skarke was looking forward to attending, but the 86-year-old lifetime BASS member died from prostate cancer in June.
Still, Mary Skarke hopes to go to the BOK Center with her sons at least one day of the tournament, hopefully for Sunday's last day.
It will be her first Bassmaster Classic without her husband of 59 years by her side.
"We used to go every day (of the tournament)," she said. "Going anywhere without him is hard."
When: Friday through Sunday
Where: Grand Lake O' the Cherokees
Launch site: Wolf Creek Park, 7 a.m. each day
Weigh-ins: BOK Center in Tulsa. Doors open at 3 p.m. each day
Admission: Free
Anglers: It's a 53-man field that is cut to the top 25 for the final day of fishing on Sunday.
Oklahomans in the field: Edwin Evers of Talala, Tommy Biffle of Wagoner and Jason Christie of Park Hill
Top prize: $500,000 to the winner
Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo: Friday through Sunday at the Tulsa Convention Center. Hours are noon until 8 p.m. on Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday; and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Super Retriever Series: The dog jumping competition is Friday through Sunday at the Tulsa Convention Center. It begins at noon on Friday and 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Daisy Inflatable Shooting Education Range: Friday through Sunday at the Tulsa Convention Center in the Outdoor Games Zone.
Timberworks Lumberjack Show: The timber skills contests will take place before the weigh-ins Saturday and Sunday at the BOK Center. Doors open at 3 p.m.
Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Exhibition: Two-man college teams from Arkansas, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will fish Sunday for a trophy with weigh-in at the BOK Center.
Gene Larew tour: The Tulsa bait company, located on the east side of Tulsa on historic Route 66, is having an open house Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Visitors can watch and learn how Larew bass lures and Bobby Garland crappie baits are made. Also, previous Bassmaster Classic competitors and crappie pros will be at the open house to meet and visit with fans.
Also attending will be former Oklahoma State University football star and avid bass angler Rashaun Woods. For more information, visit www.GeneLarew.com.
The Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.) was founded in 1967 by Montgomery, Ala., insurance salesman Ray Scott, who envisioned hundreds of bass anglers competing against each other in tournaments.
As a result, the hobby of bass fishing was transformed into a sport and big business. In 1967, Scott organized what is believed to be the first professional bass tournament on Beaver Lake in Arkansas.
In 1968, Bassmasters Magazine was first published, and three years later, Scott organized the first Bassmaster Classic. Bobby Murray of Hot Springs, Ark., was the inaugural champion and won $10,000.
Oklahoma has never officially hosted a Bassmaster Classic before. The 1979 Bassmaster Classic was held on Lake Texoma, but the tournament wasn't the headline-grabber that it is now.
And since the 25 anglers in the field were launching out of Pottsboro, Texas, it was considered a Texas tournament, even though most of Lake Texoma is in Oklahoma.

With J.J. Abrams Bad Robot all over TV these days including the recently premiered Fox cop drama Almost Human added to his involvement in the Star Trek franchise, its a wonder we havent heard word that there might be a Star Trek revival headed to the small screen in some form or another. Abrams spoke briefly about that recently, and it sounds like CBS is currently responsible for the fate of the Star Trek TV franchise, and they arent currently interested in doing anything with the property.
J.J. Abrams and Fringe creator J.H. Wyman is Almost Human, a futuristic buddy cop drama with some great looking sci-fi elements. The series is set a few decades into the future when cops are partnered with humanoid robots. The trailer does a great job of laying the scene and introducing us to the lead characters. The first is John Kennex (Karl Urban), a cop who survived a catastrophic attack on the police department, though he lost a leg in the ordeal.
After months of pilot orders and casting news, we're now starting to learn the fate of the pilots in development for the 2013-2014 season. Earlier, we shared word that NBC was passing on a number of pilots, including the modern-day Hatfields & McCoys drama, and tonight brings word of a number of pickups over at Fox, among which is the Sleepy Hollow drama from Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, as well as the robot-cop drama from Fringe's J.H. Wyman and J.J. Abrams, Almost Human.
There seems to be no shortage of Stephen King novels in development for film and television. We have Under the Dome to look forward to on CBS in June, and the upcoming Carrie remake set to hit theaters in October. And there's always the Dark Tower project that may or may never happen, not to mention The Stand, which may also be a wait (but hopefully well worth waiting for). And the latest news related to King's imaginative works has to do with one of his more recent novels, 11/22/63.
Things didn't work out so well for ABC's attempt to reboot Charlie's Angels, but perhaps Minka Kelly will have more luck with the Fox drama in the works from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot and J.H. Wyman. The Friday Night Lights star has signed on to co-star in the sci-fi buddy cop drama, which already has Michael Ealy on board to play an android. Kelly's character will presumably be human.
J.J. Abrams is kind of taking over the universe lately. Or the fictional universe anyway, when you factor in shows like Fringe, Revolution and Person of Interest - not to mention previous dramas Lost and Alias - and top it off with Star Trek and now the new Star Wars sequel, there's just no stopping him, and for those of us who love his work, that's just fine. Among his list of upcoming projects is a drama pilot, which NBC has just ordered, and another pilot over at Fox.
Since Alias wrapped up in 2006, executive producer Ken Olin has moved on to other projects, including Brothers & Sisters and Fox's medical/crime drama The Mob Doctor. Meanwhile, J.J. Abrams has had a hand in numerous projects on both the big and small screens, including Fringe, Alcatraz, Person of Interest, not to mention Lost and Star Trek.
Fox has handed out another put pilot commitment today, this time to a comedy based on a book spawned by a blog. Adulting draws on the advice of Kelly Williams Brown, an Oregon journalist whose off-beat blog helps those of us still struggling with growing up learn how to act like adults. The single-camera comedy comes from J.J. Abrams Bad Robot and writers Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein of The Vow.
Here's an unlikely collaboration for a new TV drama: Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men) has joined forces with geek icon J.J. Abrams (Lost, Star Trek) to write and produce a new high concept sci-fi TV pilot for NBC and Warner Bros. TV. The project will also be co-written by screenwriter Mark Friedman (Home Of the Brave).
Fringe may be wrapping up this season, but it looks like executive producers J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman are still looking to work with one another. The duo have teamed up for a new sci-fi project that has received a pilot production commitment from Fox. This marks the second recently announced robot-themed TV project in development for network TV.
When he isn't busy serving as producer on films like Prometheus and the upcoming Star Trek sequel, Damon Lindelof can occasionally be found entertaining his thousands of Twitter followers with his random 140-character blurbs. His last contribution to television came in the form of an ABC show called Lost. You may have heard of that one.
Earlier this week, we shared the news that NBC had given a series order to the J.J. Abrams/Eric Kripke created drama series Revolution. At the time, we had a cast photo and a vague description of the drama series. Today we have more information on the plot, and a few episode photos from the pilot to share. Check them out ahead!
Just a little while ago, we learned that NBC had given an early series order to the Anne Heche starring comedy series Save Me. And at that time, I wondered if we'd hear anything about The New Normal, as that was another pilot rumored to be a possible contender for an August premiere at the network following NBC's Olympic coverage this summer.
Billy Burkes recent role upgrade in the J.J. Abrams/Eric Kripke pilot in the works for NBC is just one more reason to cross my fingers that the project works out. As Burke proved to be my favorite thing about the Twilight movies, playing the role of the caring, protective and subtly humorous father to Bella Swan, Id be very interested to see how the actor handles a lead role.
For many fans sad to see the end of Lost in 2010, Fringe has become the show that filled the island-shaped hole in their lives. Now Fringe is adding another Lost connection to its collection, with actor Henry Ian Cusick, who played Desmond on the mystical island drama, set to appear in an upcoming episode.

WAM maintains its position of conveying equipment manufacturing by continuous investments in manufacturing technology and product development. The expertise that has been acquired over the years has enabled WAM® to apply their technology to virtually all conveying processes. It also has resulted in high-quality yet competitively priced Screw Conveyors.
Tubular Screw Conveyors
ES Screw Conveyors are manufactured in carbon steel with a suitable surface finishing and powder coating. They are made up from a tubular trough that is equipped with at least one inlet and outlet spout, a welded flange at each tube end, helicoid screw flighting welded on a centre pipe with a coupling bush at each end, two end bearing assemblies complete with self-adjusting shaft sealing unit (one of the bearing assemblies incorporated in the drive unit), a number of intermediate hanger bearings depending on the overall length of the screw conveyor. Furthermore, ES Screw Conveyors are equipped with a gear motor that suits the application.
Difficult materials with a high moisture content that have a tendency to stick to the centre pipe or flight in traditional screw conveyors, such as sludge or screenings, are successfully handled by Shaftless Screw or Spiral Conveyors with ultra-heavy-duty helicoid flighting. As a result of their long-term expertise in screw feeding, WAM® have developed a comprehensive range of high-accuracy Screw Feeders for both micro-feed rates and large volumes.

High Court Bars Alien Deportation
NEW YORK (AP)- A U.S. Supreme court decision has caused
an abrupt halt in all deportation proceedings heer against alien Communists
and others.
Edward J. Shaughnessy, district director of the immigration and naturalization
service, said the hearings were "postponed temporarily."
The court decision, handed down Monday, held that since June 3, 1947, it has
been illegal for immigration inspectors to sit as trial judges at deportation
hearings- as has been the procedure here.
The ruling may result in demands for retrial of hundreds of case here.
Since the beginning of the justice department's drive to deport left-wing and
Communist aliens, their attorneys have protested against immigration inspectors
as presiding officers at deportation hearings.
There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: In the case of Wong Yang Sung v. McGrath, the United States Supreme Court decided, on February 20, 1950, that it was illegal for inspectors from the Immigration Service to also act as judges at deportation hearings. In their decision they concluded that having one person serve as both prosecutor and judge went against the purpose of the Administrative Procedure Act. That act, passed in 1946, established standards for federal agencies and commissions to follow when they had power to judge cases in order to safeguard the rights of the people.

Pink roses are one of the more popular colors. They are not as romantic as the reds, but still have interesting breeds.
You can find out more about their meaning as well. The shades vary from the aptly named "Brilliant Pink Iceberg" through to the subtlety of "Nancy Steen" . Combined with white and red they can be a great look for Mother's Day roses.
Pink roses have never been my favorites. But the ones here are all special in their own way, and certainly they have a place in every rose garden. If I was to pick one pink rose, and only one, it would probably be Nancy Steen although the flamboyant Betty Boop would be a very close second. The Fairy rose is a great pink polyantha bush, great for borders. The Gertrude Jekyll rose is a favorite as well, coming from the David Austin group. Another beautiful pink climber is the New Dawn rose or the Queen Elizabeth rose. A very versatile pink climber is the William Baffin rose.

Seth Godin: Meatball Sundae Webcast -- common sense meets the future
by Josh Bernoff
I admit it. I am an unabashed fan of Seth Godin. So I was delighted to get a chance to sit in on his Webcast preview of his speech at the Search Engine Strategies conference in Chicago.
Here is what you get with Seth: a mashup of massive quantities of common sense with a nice view of the future. There is so little common sense in visionaries, and so little vision in sensible people, that this is unique. Even moreso, it allows him to come up with a nearly endless series of "oh yeah" kind of insights on his blog.
Now the fun part about this is you have to renew it every year or two, so he can come out with a new book every year or two. This time it's Meatball Sundae.
Seth ran down (no kidding) 14 trends that people need to know about now. They include things like direct communication between producers and consumers, amplification of individuals' voices, short attention spans, the long tail, and the shift from How Many to Who as the important question for marketers.
Listed out like that, these seem like platitudes. But what's available from Seth is all this stuff in a nice package that makes so much sense even a CEO can embrace it.
His main point, which is that grafting these new ideas onto an old-world thinking company doesn't work, is important. A meatball sundae is "the unfortunate result of mixing two good ideas." And having tried to evangelize these ideas within corporations, I have seen this over and over.
I think I know the cure. First they should probably get his book. (Ours won't be out until May).
And the second is to pick a small social project -- a blog, a presence on Facebook, a community -- and make it work. Successful projects spawn more, which creates change. And that is how to avoid ending up with a meatball sundae.

American Idol 9 Auditions: Best and Worst from Atlanta
January 18, 2010 07:55 AM by Christine McDow
This week we saw the premiere of American Idol in both Boston and Atlanta. We have compiled some of the best and the worst auditions from each city in video format for you and we want you to vote on the ones you like, and dislike the most.
Starting last year the producers at FOX decided to show us more good auditions than the bad and funny ones. Personally I love the bad and funny ones and believe in most cases that the people trying out know they suck, but are just looking for their 15 minutes of fame. Of course in some case they are bad and really think good.
The Best
There are several we liked, who the judges also liked. What did you think of these? Click below (hint click the image!) to see the videos and then you can decide.
Keia Johnson
Vanessa Wolf
The Worst
Even with all the good to come out of Atlanta, there was some bad. After all, no city is perfect! Again, click on the image below to watch the videos for who we think are the worst, and then give us your opinion!
Honorable Mention:
This guy wasn't the best or worst, but he was great! When General Larry Platt walked out on stage the judges didn't know what to expect, but soon all of them, including Randy Jackson, got in on the act. Find out more about Larry Platt!

Revisiting Photo Locations
You Can Go Home Again
Early on in my career, as an instructor with The Great American Photography Weekend workshop company, I had the privilege of teaching with some of the greatest nature photographers in the world. One of the first things that I learned was from Pat O'Hara who made it a point to revisit the same location many times. I didn't fully understand why until I started photographing frequently in a local area known as Loch Raven near where I live. John Shaw says, "The first time I visit a location I take pictures, the next time I make photographs." The point being that it takes at least a visit or two to get past the visual excitement of a new location and to calm down and look objectively at more of the material provided at a location. The first time at a venue, I tend to look for scenics, large views of an area. Subsequent times I begin to "look smaller," in other words start looking down at flowers, leaves in the water, reflections, small abstract patterns, and the way light affects smaller scenes.
Different Time & Light
There are probably more good
local ponds, lakes, waterways, state parks, and nature centers in your
area than you're aware of. Just look on any city map and you'll
see green areas designating state, county, and municipal parks. Check
them out!

The museum derived from the natural history departments of the National Museum founded in 1846. It is now in the same building it first occupied in 1867. It has worked under its current title since 1986. Various natural objects are collected, studied, kept and exhibited in the museum (fossils, minerals, rocks, prepared plants and animals) from Croatia and worldwide. The collections hold numerous naturalia of incalculable value (for example, the Krapina prehistoric man collection, numerous holotypes). The museum consists of 4 special departments: mineralogical and petrographic; geological and palaeontological; botanical; zoological; and in addition to this there is the common specialised activities division (education, the library, publishing, marketing). In addition to the permanent zoological display, visitors are always offered one or two thematic exhibitions. The rich library possesses many books and periodicals of a natural history nature (specialised and scientific literature) available to museum and other professional natural historians and various other potential readers.

In Light of New Data Showing 46 Million Americans Living in Poverty, Nuns Invite Presidential Tickets to Witness Stories of Hardship
Washington, DC – Sister Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK, a National Catholic Social Justice Lobby, and leader of the recent "Nuns on the Bus" tour, today formally invited both Democratic and Republican presidential tickets to join the nuns for a day at an Ohio social service agency to meet hardworking Americans living on the economic margins. The nuns hope President Obama, Vice President Biden, Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan will come and take part in real conversations with individuals and families who Catholic sisters met during the "Nuns on the Bus" tour and are working every day to climb out of poverty and become self-sufficient.
"This is an opportunity for both the presidential and vice-presidential candidates to hear the stories that we heard on the 'Nuns on the Bus' tour and understand the consequences of cuts to these vital safety-net programs," said Sr. Simone Campbell. "We sincerely hope they will come and understand the everyday lives of those struggling to make ends meet."
With today's announcement that the median household income fell and poverty remained stagnant in 2011, it is vital for our elected officials and presidential candidates to truly comprehend the consequences of an inadequate safety net. NETWORK calls on America's elected officials and presidential candidates to stand with those on the economic margins and walk with our brothers and sisters through these trying economic times.

Baker defeated the Yellowjackets, 5-4 and 7-5, to improve to 11-11 on the year and 6-0 in the conference, while Graceland fell to 9-14 and 2-4 in the HAAC.
Baker and Graceland were scheduled to play in a non-conference doubleheader on Sunday in Lamoni, Iowa but those games have been rescheduled due to the threat of inclement weather on Sunday.
In game one, senior Jimmy Gricol went the distance on the mound, throwing all seven innings and allowed just two earned runs and struck out five batters. He also gave up just six hits and two walks.
Offensively, Baker went scoreless in innings one and two but then got things going with two runs in the third and a run each in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings.
Three Wildcats had multi-hit games, as Josh Zach, Ryan Terstriep and Gabe Greenbaum each had two hits and Neal Boyce led the way with two RBI.
Baker led 5-2 entering the top of the seventh inning, and Gricol was ready to close out the game, but the Yellowjackets put up two runs in the seventh. Gricol then settled down Riley Acra to end the game.
In game two, senior Thomas Hawkins got the start throwing six innings on the mound, but did allow the Wildcats to trail on two different occasions giving up two runs in the top of the first and third innings.
But the 6-8 senior shut down Graceland in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings and Baker was able to escape with a 7-5 win.
Justin Bye and Kyle Pattrick came in relief with Bye throwing two innings and Pattrick closing the game and recording a save.
Offensively, Zach and Greenbaum were stellar again. Zach went 2-for-4, while Greenbaum went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI.
Wes Summers, Brett Lechien, Taylro Whittum, Terstriep all had one hit and Ethan Jacks had a pair of hits.
Baker will next take on HAAC foe Evangel on the road on Mar. 25 in Springfield, Mo.

For those that know me, it goes without saying that I've fallen head over heels for jQuery. It just makes working with javascript much easier and cleaner than ever before, and opens the door to so many new possibilities that were just to cumbersome even a few years ago. Of course, with new possibilities always comes new challenges. One of those important challenges is client side templating.
For me, there was an evolutionary process before getting to the point where I realized client side templating was important. It all started out in the olden days of using ASP.NET Web Controls. With Web Controls, the idea was pretty simple: You bind your control to a datasource, and any events you wanted to take action on in that control would require a postback to the server. These postbacks were hugely interruptive, especially when performing lots of different manipulations on a single page. So when "Atlas" and the UpdatePanel came along, it looked to be exactly what we needed. We build pages in the exact same way we always did, slap an UpdatePanel around the whole thing, and magically all our problems would go away. Well as we've all found out by now, it's not that simple. The heaviness and waste of an entire page lifecycle on each async postback, combined with the limitations of the postback model itself made it useful only in certain situations (like removing the flicker from an existing website with heavy postbacks).
When I first started using jQuery, I quickly realized that I could circumvent the whole postback model in favor of ajax and REST services, but I still wasn't ready to give up the WebControls like ListView and GridView that I've used for so long. That was when I had the idea of calling a service to render a UserControl on the server, and pass back the html to insert onto my page. After googling "render user control service", I quickly found out that I wasn't the only one thinking of this idea, and off I went to get it working.
After using it for a few scenarios, the drawbacks of this approach started to be more apparent. The first drawback was getting access to the actual data. Sure, you have rendered view, but what if you wanted to do more with a particular record in that view, like show it on a google map? Do you try and extract what you need from the rendered html, or do you have a separate ajax call to get just the data? Another challenging drawback was control state, like scroll location or pagination. For example, if you render a UserControl with a ListView and PagerControl on it, you get paging buttons that are absolutely useless. I got around this by using jQuery to intercept the click events of those page buttons to call the rendering service, but these issues had me feeling like I was hacking the solution just to get the control and accessibility I needed. Finally, there is the bloat factor. Yes, this solution is much much lighter than the UpdatePanel + postback model, but not nearly as light as just passing the data down as JSON and rendering that data on the client.
Which brings me to the second-to-last step in the journey to client templates: rendering the data yourself with jQuery. Rick Strahl has a good blog post of this technique, but I'll give an example of my own. You simply start with a block of html on your page that will serve as your template, like the following markup:
After you pull your JSON data from the web service, you clone the html for each record and inject the appropriate data, adding event handlers as you go:
This approach has a lot of things going for it — bandwidth efficiency, lightweight processing, and templates that are understandable. However, once you've coded a couple of these scenarios, two things become obvious. The first is that you are writing a hell of a lot of repetitive code just to match the correct element in the template with its value. The second thing is that you have to write lots more code if you want to do any kind of synchronization between two views that share the same data. How can we solve these two problems?
Enter Chain.js
Chain.js is a jQuery plugin that aims to solve the templating and data synchronization shortcomings that I mentioned above. My favorite demo synchronizes two lists together, which really shows the simplicity and power of Chain.js in both templating and synchronizing two views dynamically. You start with the following markup:
We have two lists here, each with a template called "item". The aim of the demo is to populate the "persons" list with a dataset, and then link the "filtered" list to show the items that have been filtered out of the first list. Here is the code that makes it all happen:
In the above code, the items plugin is initialized on the persons list with some data, and then .chain() is called to automatically bind the data to the template inside of the persons list. The default Chain.js data binder looks for classNames that correspond to the property on the JSON element. Chain.js automatically looks for the first item inside of the parent element to use as the template, but you can configure precisely where your template is with the anchor option. Next, a handler is setup on input's keyup event so that we can use filter function to filter the list of items on every keystroke. Finally, we take our second list and link it to the collection 'hidden' on our first list, and call chain to initiate the data binding.
You can see the final result on the Chain.js Demo Page.
Chain.js is a great concept and great code, and it works very well in these demos. But it is still a project in it's infancy, and that is apparent when you try to scale up the amount of data you are binding to, and the amount of views that are linked to the data. The performance literally grinds to a halt, even on the fastest machines.
Solving the current limitations of Chain.js
When analyzing the source code for Chain.js, I realized I could do something fairly simple right off the bat to speed up data-binding: use innerHTML instead of jQuery's clone() method to create each templated item. The internals of the binding function "$update" in Chain.js look something like this (as of version 0.1):
Here is the modified code that uses innerHTML to create all the items ahead of time (without jQuery's clone), and the loop picks each item out of the list for data binding:
Just this change alone made data binding about twice as fast in my testing. But with large datasets, that wasn't enough of an increase. So I dug some more and I identified another issue: when synchronizing a series of views, the collections that you subscribe to are filtered with jQuery. So therefore, your master view is always required to create a corresponding DOM element for each data item. This means that if you have a thousand data items, but you only want your views to render and show a subset of those thousand items, then you still have to create a master view, which in turn requires a DOM element for each data item. That is a ton of extra work! So I set out to modify the code so that a master object is created that doesn't have any dom elements that correspond to the data. Then, all other views are a linked to this object. But without the DOM, how are we supposed to use jQuery to filter our collections? The answer is, we don't.
Enter Taffy DB
Other Client Template Libraries
It is pretty obvious that many developers see client templating as important going forward. This is evident in the amount of Client Template Libraries that are cropping up. Just recently, Microsoft released a preview of ASP.NET AJAX 4.0, which includes client-side template rendering. This seems promising, but I haven't had much time to play around with it. There's also jTemplates, PURE, and LightningDOM, although they are more geared towards just client side templating, rather than trying to tackle synchronization (like Chain.js and ASP.NET AJAX 4.0). If I've missed any other libraries, please let me know!
