Tips for new 4400NEX going into motorcycle with Note 9
Vinweasle posted a topic in NEX SeriesHey folks! It's been quite a few years since I've been on here. But when I got my Z110BT I got all kinds of information from this site and hoping I can do so again. So I just picked up my 4400NEX and will be doing a custom install into my motorcycle. I already have the reverse ribbon cable so I can install the faceplate/mount onto a custom tray on the bike. This will allow me to still be able to remove the face when I leave the bike, but the rest of the unit will be mounted inside of the bikes fairing separately. It's hard to hit all of the posts about the 4400 because I don't know which ones have the most up to date information. Aside from having a good sounding system I'm also trying to setup the radio for travel. I'd like all of the information I typically have on my phone to be on the screen when it comes to navigation, phone calls, or even youtube videos (I don't watch, just listen). There are so many options with this radio it's hard to get moving with it. What are my best bets as far as getting started with this bad boy? Looking forward to seeing what this thing can do! Thanks in advance!

no video on AVH-4100NEX, firmware?
603brown posted a topic in NEX Serieshi all. new install of AVH-4100NEX here. firmware was upgraded to 1.05. when i attempt to watch video from SD card i cannot get past the warning screen which asks me to engage-release-engage the parking brake. (see image.) i have the microbypass circuit installed so --i assume-- it is unable recognize that ive engaged the brake and thus the ÓK remains greyed out. 1. does anyone running old firmware (such as 1.03) encounter this problem? 2. might anyone have an old copy of the 1.03 firmware that they could link to? 2a. is it even possible to back rev the firmware on this unit? many thanks, mike microbypass circuit http://www.amazon.com/MicroBypass-Parking-Automatic-Interface-AVH-4100NEX/dp/B00VKQ6ECQ
Bypassing & Samsung Galaxy S5 Firmware
PonyExpress posted a topic in NEX SeriesI'm going to be buying a NEX7000 for my Ford Mustang. I read the official bypass post, and I've seen that it brings success; however, I've only seen it allow you to watch a DVD while driving. Does it let you put in addresses into the navigation while you are driving as well? I know without the bypass it doesn't allow you to do this and I don't want to pull over every time I need to put in an address. Also, has MirrorLink come out with firmware for the Samsung Galaxy S5 yet? Thanks guys.
avic-8100-nex android auto not working
manjo posted a topic in NEX SeriesI just finished installing avic-8100-nex in my 07 ford expedition xlt. I upgraded firmware from 1.01 to 1.03. I grounded the parking brake wire to ground (black wire in harness). And I did the software bypass. I paired BT on my phone with the head unit. I have a CCAUSB 2.0 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001GXQMXE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00connected to USB port 2. I installed android auto on my nexus 5. When I connect the phone using an LG USB cable that came with the phone, android auto icon appears on the head unit. But when I press and hold that icon, android auto screen flashes on my phone and then I see a message on the head unit that says "cannot connect to Android auto, check your phone when it is safe". I also notice the same message with the stock USB A cable that was shipped with the unit. With a USB micro cable that i have i was not able to get any response from android auto at all. Although i can see my phone charging. Could this be because I have the parking bypass? Or is it USB cable related? Can someone please help?
CLEAR Instructions to Remove Nag Screen
Ashkaan posted a topic in Hacks/ModsHi Everyone, I have been reading the forums for hours and have not found any clear directions to removing the nag screen from the AVIC-z120bt unit. I currently have the 3.001 software from this site (thank you). I am planning on upgrading to 5.0 (not 5.1) from this post. However, the instructions don't mention, but a user on a post here (I can't find it, I've read so much by now) said that we must use the cardinfo.cif file from the 2012 update in order to not brick the device! Is that true? Also, I would also like to integrate the nag screen removal hack from this post. The instructions say to edit a Navi.exe. I found one at this address in the pack: "2013 USA-CANADA MAP UPDATE\Update\USER\PRG\APL". The edit is "At offset BEBFC, change 05 00 00 0A -> 00 00 A0 E1". I've done that. Next, I'm supposed to go into test mode, but I don't have a TestMode.key file to do so. Also, why am I going into test mode if I've just edited the update? Shouldn't I just install the update now with the edited Navi.exe file? Should I swap out the cardinfo.cif file too? Can someone please give some clear, detailed instructions for us idiots? Thanks in advance

Need help with editing screen on my AVIC-Z150BH!
luv_freedom posted a topic in Hacks/ModsI just installed this system today. I grounded the green emergency brake wire, as was told. When I am moving all but one of the editing functions are grayed out and I can't even adjust the fader or balance. Any help would be welcome!
AVIC-Z150BH - Screensaver Problem
transparent posted a topic in Problems/TroubleshootingHi All, My first post to the forums ! I had a look around first, it's very cool to see an entire site dedicated to the AVIC line. My issue: I recently had a bypassed AVIC-Z150BH installed in my Xterra. My installer noticed that the Pioneer screensaver was coming on continually after a few minutes of inactivity. Since there is no mention of a screensaver in the manual nor online, I'm assuming it has something to do with the bypass putting the system into "test Mode"? Similar to the demo mode that would display their revolving ads on display units. Since there are tons of videos and tutorials on how to bypass the unit, and there is no mention of others having the same problem, I'm wondering if the bypass was done in correctly, or if this is normal? Thanks for your time !
PIONEER AVIC-X950BH BYPASS AVIC-Z150BH Navigation while in motion!
delreycustoms posted a topic in Hacks/Modshttp://youtu.be/IKOoZTZ1HT4 BYPASS AT YOUR OWN RISK! We have confirmed this bypass to work! It allows for navigation input and video playback while the car is in motion! This is illegal in some states and this may void the warranty of your Navigation system! Move the mute wire over to the empty slot to the right or left, attach to ground with parking brake wire! If you have a question, please leave a comment..... we respond within 24 hours! Thanks for watching!
X710BT mods
tortillarat posted a topic in Hacks/ModsHi everyone, The more I've read here the more confused I've gotten. I have an X710BT and the only thing I want to do is use the software bypass to get rid of the parking brake restriction. In other words, I want to be able and want passengers to be able to type an address or change the light color while driving. I guess the restriction's there for "safety," but you can scroll through music and audio settings to your heart's content yet can't even turn the screen completely off if you're driving. At any rate, I have the 3.020100 firmware. I have an 8gb SD card the system recognizes. I want the parking brake bypass. I do not need anything else. However, as I said, the more I read the more confused I get. Posts link to each other and I'm going around in circles trying to find what I want. Apparently the X710BT uses the F series software, so I go there. I found the 2.0 testmode stuff, but that didn't work - nothing whatsoever happened when I put the SD card with testmode into my system. I then find out I need testmode 3.0. I can't find it; links are broken. What I do find are basically just instructions to upgrade from 2 to 3, and more recent posts there are talking about 4 now. I don't need that. Then I come across another post saying the X710 actually uses the X900 software. Some posts say you put the SD card with testmode in and it automatically copies data.zip to it, while others have a whole list of steps you need. Other posts have more than 50 pages starting from 4 years ago. Is there anyone who has the testmode file for firmware 3.020100 on an X710BT? Does anyone have clear instructions on how to do what I'm asking? I have some computer programming experience so I'm not a *complete* noob; I just need a valid link to a valid file and instructions that pertain to my unit. If anyone is able to help and it succeeds, I will be sure to write my own post with detailed instructions so confused posts like mine won't keep popping up. Thanks!
Micro bypass not working on AVH-X5500BHS
67Carl posted a topic in Pioneer AVH Series************************************************************************************************************************* Update 12/18/12: After taking the steps below everything is good to go. The Micro Bypass works as advertised and the seller was great to work with. I've reviewed the product on Amazon and added some installation notes. ************************************************************************************************************************* Edit/Update 12/17/12: The seller of the micro bypass has been very responsive and is working with me on some troubleshooting. This may be something I did (or did not do) correctly. My interpretation of the instructions does not match his intent. I think they were written for a new install whereas I'm retrofitting. The error is on the HU light green parking brake wire. That wire should be disconnected from the parking brake and connected to the MB green wire and nothing else. I patched the MB green wire into the light green HU wire and left it attached to the PB. This may have damaged the MB... I also made the connections using those snap on plastic T connections, which he said are not reliable. So, next steps are to re-connect the wires by directly wrapping them together, recheck the MB ground and HU ground are together and properly grounded then see what happens. If it doesn't work then its likely the MB is damaged. I'm NOT looking forward to disassembling the car again and crawling back up under the dash... I'll let everyone know what happens. ************************************************************************************************************************* I've searched these forums and the Internet for information on a parking bypass solution for my Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS. There is sparse info for this particular model and some conflicting opinions on what does/does not work. I installed a Micro Bypass that is marketed specifically for this unit: http://www.amazon.com/AVH-X1500DVD-AVH-X2500BT-AVH-X3500BHS-AVH-X4500BT-AVH-X5500BHS/dp/B00A9AQPUU/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1354688437&sr=1-1&keywords=Avh-x5500+bypass I've seen where this solution has worked for other but it isn't working for me. Connected black to ground, blue to blue/white from radio (spliced into this wire, which goes to my power antenna) and green to light green brake wire. No video when brake is off AND now no video when brake engaged (video worked with brake on before installing bypass). Contacted seller and he said to cut light green wire by the brake switch (not in the original instructions), so I did but there is no change. Any thoughts on this? Other solutions I've seen are a to use a relay, a relay with a PAC 7 trigger module or a simple 2 way automotive 12v toggle switch... It's very difficult to access the wires behind the radio and I don't really want to just start trying random solutions. When my parking brake engages it depresses a button (switch). The light green wire from the radio is spliced into the wire for ths switch. That seems to be the only connection between the radio and PB. In addition to any helpful thoughts on a bypass for this model can someone explain how that one light green wire fools the radio and why it's so hard to duplicate? My understanding of auto electronics is somewhat limited... Sorry this is so long but I wanted to be thorough. Thank you!

X940BT Bypass Kit on Ebay
Baddmann78 posted a topic in Hacks/ModsDoes anyone know if this is a good way of bypassing the Nav / DVD on the 940? Im just getting ready to install this in a 04 F-150 and want to make sure its a good way to go about it...... Please let me know. Here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/150862459954?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 it has me installing a new wire above the mute wire and and slicing it to the parking brake wire then grounding both of them. Is this good or just a waste of $10?
soft parking brake mod (aka safe mode "bypass" menu)
pionara posted a topic in Hacks/ModsI have found the place to patch in Navi.exe where you can enable the "Safe Mode" switch in settings menu on US/CAN units (that EU models have). This is just for navi.exe version 4.010 on X92x+ or Z1xx series, havent figured it out yet on older versions, but could be done in a similar fashion. 1. Grab your navi.exe from your unit. (Keep a copy as a backup.) On your pc, with hex editor change: a. offset 15aefc from 02 00 56 E3 to 09 00 56 E3. b. offset 15aee8 from 01 10 A0 E3 to 00 10 A0 E3 2. replace the navi.exe on your unit. You should see a new "Safe Mode" toggle switch in the settings menu (bottom row, right side). Please dont attempt if you are not comfortable hex editing files and copy files via testmode. I wont post binaries, but somebody else can make this edit and post it somewhere on the tubes Oh you are totally on your own using this. This is only for use with US/CAN navi where the law allows. update: verified that it works. A few notes: 1. with this, you no longer need to ground KMODE (pin 11 of A/V connector) - it is not necessary 2. you will need PKB grounded so that you can turn safe mode off. Once safe mode is off, you will not need PKB pin grounded, however: 3. if you ever turn safe mode back on again, then because safe mode button along with all the other ones are greyed out, you will need to re-ground PKB to get the safe mode button active again, so you can turn it off There may be another hack somewhere to fix 2 & 3, but at least with this, you dont need to fool with the A/V connector Found it!! There are two edits. First one enables safe mode button in menu on UC units, and second one keeps the button active in safe mode.. So no wired hacks needed. 100% pure soft hack!!
F700bt firmware 2.08 bypass???
xbravex posted a topic in Hacks/ModsDoes anyone have a new software parking break bypass for Pioneers 2.08 firmware update? Please Help, I've been all over this forum and can't seem to find one.
need help!!!

Z140 Motion Bypass
dagudsun posted a topic in Problems/TroubleshootingHi all, I am new to this forum but I had to jump on based on my new purchase. Im gettign ready to travel across the US from Virginia to California and I just had a new Z140BH installed. Here is what is going on: 1. Installer informed me that he would bypass to allow me to watch video on my trip - I trust him completely 2. message says parking brake lead improperly installed 3. DVD'd play when in park and in Drive ( seems that the bypass works) 4. after driving for a few minutes a warning message comes up and the video goes away 5. after slowing down for a red light the video returns ( this continues in an on and off state) I am wondering if the normal bypass worked properly but now for some reason there is a GPS / Motion based parameter that senses video playback and motion and disables the viewing. HAs anyone else heard or experienced this and if so, is there anyway around this? I havent done any firmware upgrades and this is out of hte box factory. Thaks in advance. I searched as many formums as I could and I didnt see anyone reporting this already. PS Everyting else in the system works properly
ZKit Bypass hack?
RonS posted a topic in Hacks/ModsAnyone know anything about this supposed bypass? http://www.amazon.co...0/dp/B00811PZ6O Can't tell from the description what approach they took. Sounds mostly like jibberish. It could be just the "moved wire" bypass.

BlackMetalRobot posted a topic in Hacks/ModsI've installed the 940BT by following the bypass video seen here: Great bypass trick but my video still cuts out when I reach a speed above 15mph because of the GPS Nav unit.

What is Origami?.Origami, although an ancient discovery, is perhaps a foreign concept to many individuals today. Unless a person is caught up in the art world or has an interest in crafting, they may have never heard of origami. What is origami?. It is, put simply, folding paper. This idea began hundreds of years ago however, the exact origin is unknown. It is still unknown whether it began in China or Japan. It is a known fact that the Japanese have developed advanced forms of artistic origami. This idea was quick to catch on spreading into Spain, South America, Germany and Britain. With time this creative activity also became popular in the west. Although origami is an activity enjoyed by thousands of people, it has a special place in the Japanese culture.
Learning how to fold paper is the basis of origami. There are very simple forms of origami such as the paper airplane which requires basic folds and instruction. Although the paper airplane is quite easy to make, for years it has provided hours of entertainment for young children. For the millions of individuals who have quickly made a paper airplane, perhaps they weren't aware they were using the art of origami.
There are countless projects that can be done using the art of origami. For people who are working with these techniques on a regular basis, the possibilities for creations rely on their imagination and creativity. Although the finished products are elaborate and obviously a challenge for the inexperienced person, the art of origami often uses two basic folds – the origami bird base and the origami square base. Learning how to do this activity will likely incorporate these two basic folds in most projects. As an individual advances in the art of origami, these basic folds will frequently be required for many projects.
Folding paper may sound boring to some people but for thousands in the world the folding paper or the art of origami, has become quite significant. It may sound juvenile to some but origami can be quite challenging which is what interests many people. The art of origami uses mathematics which again can be challenging for many people. A project starts out with just a square piece of paper and can be transformed into countless beautiful compositions. For many people origami is not simply a pastime. This activity requires skill and knowledge and is often used in the business world. There are individuals who get paid to create certain items using the art of origami. In different parts of the world there are origami competitions where people showcase their work.
Origami is an interesting art. It's difficult to visualize this concept. You really need to see pictures and diagrams to help you understand how this idea is applied. There are many books published about origami. You might find some in the local bookstore or at the library. Crafting magazines may also be a good source for information on origami. One place you're sure to locate beneficial material about this ancient activity is on the Internet. With access to a world database, the Internet will certainly be able to help you locate all you need to know about the art of folding paper – origami.

Brian Vickery, VP of Enterprise Solutions at ProKarma
Brian Vickery is an evangelist and account manager helping to promote ProKarma as a global, world class software solution and business intelligence provider.
Q What inspired you to enter your profession?
A Well, my profession changed. I started out as a mechanical engineer because everybody told me I was either a lawyer or an engineer. When I got to my first job, they needed some way of tracking resources, and the associated skills matrix, to find internal candidates when preparing proposals. I knew nothing about software development, but I took a cut at it – and it worked. Then a guy supporting an Oracle-based application quit the company. I was the subject matter expert for the application he wrote, so I stepped in and started writing code.
I enjoyed the application development, but I was much more intrigued in the data itself because I considered it foundational to successful application development. As a result, I've stayed close to the data architecture, data modeling, data integration, and data visualization side of things (the business intelligence piece).
Q What apps/software/tools can't you live without?
A Depends upon the scenario. If I'm data modeling, I still prefer Sybase PowerDesigner. I have favorite business intelligence (BI) tools, but I can't list them here because we are technology agnostic when it comes to BI solutions and strategy!
If I'm doing personal social media monitoring and engagement, I use HootSuite. I use our own Pulse Analytics for corporate social media monitoring since it includes more analytics and sentiment analysis. Other tools in my arsenal are BundlePost, Buffer, Feedly, ManageFlitter, and DoShare.
And let's just throw Pandora in here, too – gotta have my music, wherever I go, on all of my devices (including the SmartTV).
Q What's your best time-saving shortcut productivity tip?
A Hmm, several of the tools listed above contribute to my time-savings. However, one example is that I have several trusted content sources in BundlePost – I will select blog posts from those trusted sources, "randomize" those posts so the same blog does not get referenced consecutively, and then schedule them using Hootsuite. I do still go in and read each post before it is shared, but this saves me a LOT of time with content curation.
I also like to work in focused bursts/sprints, and then walk away and let the mind wander. I can come up with great ideas, for entirely separate business problems, on those walks.
Q What everyday thing do you think are you better at than anybody else?
A I'm best at being me because nobody else can do it (or would want to, perhaps). I'm an admirer of many, but I idolize none – because I'm already comfortable with my strengths and limitations. I am a jack of all trades when it comes to professional expertise and hobbies (mostly tennis now). I'm well aware there will ALWAYS be someone better at many of the things I do, so I focus on being good enough to contribute professionally…or have fun personally.
Q What are you currently reading?
A Data Science for Business by Foster Provost and Tom Fawcett – and The Detachment by Barry Eisler.
Q What's the best advice you've ever received?
A Too many good ones here – my grandparents raised me, and I think they did a good daily job of preparing me to be a good husband, father, and provider. My first real boss, out of college, also told me to be nice to everyone…you may work for them someday.
Q What's your greatest challenge?
A Time and Scale – both professionally and personally. Knowing I need to stay at the strategic level…but still enjoying some of the tactical execution.
Q What's your greatest achievement?
A Twenty-five years of marriage to my best friend and being counted amongst best friends for both of my daughters.
Q Anything else you want to add?
A ProKarma has provided solutions for industry verticals spanning Automotive to Utilities (hmm, couldn't think of a zoo – although we did provide solutions for a museum). We've helped put planes in the air, tires on your car, coffee in your hands, and healthcare information at your fingertips.
Keep us in mind for software and mobile application development, test automation, BI strategy and execution, big data solutions, and social listening and analytics with Pulse Analytics and Pulse Athletics. It sounds like I'm keyword stuffing here, but I'm trying to concisely describe just how much we do. A common goal is to provide highly interactive and intuitive user experiences along with captivating yet actionable data visualizations.
And keep me in mind if you want to play tennis or talk Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, and Texas Longhorns!!
Q Who would you like to see answer these same questions?
A Do they have to dump a bucket of cold water over their heads? You've already interviewed Robert Caruso, so let's throw in Amy Tobin, Sam Fiorella, and Danny Brown. That gives you three people with strong, insightful opinions…so what exactly makes THEM tick?!?

If you work in high tech, or even if you don't, you would probably nod your head if asked whether the following is on the top five list of most asked questions. Is artificial intelligence (AI) a good thing or a bad thing?
AI is a hot topic and it's probably because, as with any subject where potential impact is mostly unknown but highly anticipated, a broad spectrum of scenarios has been imagined resulting in an equally broad set of predicted outcomes. Whether it will be seen as benevolent or malevolent will probably boil down to how each of us perceives its immediate impact on our careers. Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Tip O'Neill in the 1980s coined the phrase, "All politics is local," which to him meant that no matter how high up a piece of legislation is crafted and then made into law, its impact is at a local and personal level. Maybe a good way then to think about society's collective anxiety regarding artificial intelligence today is to say that "All AI is personal."
So, if your management team announced that AI was being factored into the strategic plan for the coming year and that its focus would be how it might help increase the ability for the organization to advance the needs of end users, what would you think? Would you be immediately worried about your job? Would your answer depend on the field in which you work? Should that matter? Maybe not.
AI Can Be a Friend or a Foe
I had a conversation with a friend the other day that reminded me that it shouldn't really matter. She updated me about her husband's startup business and how it's been growing rapidly through hard work and also because he's incorporated AI into the product. He's secured business from a couple of major hospitals and because his product is focused on allowing physicians to do more with less, it offers a compelling value proposition to cash-strapped funding agencies that struggle to keep up with public demand for high-quality care while operating in an environment of low to no tax increases. His product is successfully demonstrating it can make a difference one hospital at a time. As he scales his business, and as AI matures, it's not hard to imagine that his business and the sector that it plays in will explode. And that will happen despite the concern from doctors that they might be replaced in the hospital setting or even that much of their own clinical work might be handled by AI.
Cost, technology, and public expectations have been inexorable forces through history, especially in combination, and we should expect their continued influence on this critical sector of our society and economy. We should be optimistic that physicians who find they have more time available because of AI-driven programs will pursue related research or clinical work during that freed up time.
When we look at why AI is being adopted in the healthcare industry it's relatively easy to identify the main goals as being cost savings, increased efficiencies, and (especially) improved health outcomes for patients. Studies have identified many of the tasks physicians perform that either lead toward or away from those goals. The argument then becomes the same as the one posed in high tech: If a task is deemed critical but repetitive (say, correlating a patient's multiple and variable symptoms and making a diagnostic determination), and yet the speed of executing the task is detracting from those goals and constraining the organization's ability to reach and treat more patients, why not accelerate things by offloading execution of those tasks to AI? After all, AI performs tasks much better, faster, more adroitly than humans. There's no argument there. Where it falls far short, compared to humans, is in the application of common sense and human empathy that can only be communicated during human interaction and that's where physicians offer the most impact from a patient's perspective.
Caution: You're About to Enter the Other Half of a Metaphor
Companies should examine Customer Success through a similar lens. One of the things that Customer Success Managers do is use tools that query databases in order to connect the signals that customers emit when they are using the product or otherwise engaging with the company's services. CSMs, for example, look for patterns within the activities of a wide array of customers who might be experiencing certain challenges when they try to utilize specific features of a specific product. Some CSMs are able to do this well but the process is very slow, the scope of query often too narrow (and therefore the results are questionable), and they aren't able to accomplish the analysis in anything approaching the milliseconds achieved by a machine learning and AI-driven program. So, we'll repeat the same question… why not accelerate things by offloading execution of those tasks to AI? Would that mean then that CSMs won't be required as much when AI takes on a larger role in Customer Success? The answer is that they won't be required in the same way they were required before. Let's look at another example.
When it comes to figuring out whether a customer is going to renew the subscription, an organization devoted to managing renewals look at all kinds of variables to determine a risk factor. Then they direct energy and attention to the kinds of accounts that provide the best opportunities for renewal and growth. And why not? Well, I'll tell you why that's not the best approach.
In order to have a much broader impact on the propensity of individual customers within their territory to renew, and a much larger impact on the growth prospects of their own company, the work CSMs should be focused on, if AI is able to support them and drive the efficiencies many of us envision, would be value-add responsibilities such as gaining a better understanding of their client's business and the forces that the client is facing that might mean changes are required in the way they better leverage the products and solutions that the CSM supports. It would mean that the CSM could better examine the experience the client is having with the solution beyond just the implications of, say, the KPIs that are listed as means for measuring progress toward the goals detailed in a success plan.
Are the client's teams properly enabled for success? What are the product adoption rates of the various teams? Do they differ from each other? If so, why? Would it improve the client's business if all the teams adopted the product to the same degree? What are the observations the CSM has of the client's use of the features of the product? What kind of direct feedback has the client provided that might benefit the product management team? How can the CSM encourage the client to join a community to share and to learn from industry peers? Should the CSM take a more active role in those communities? Knowing how the client has adopted one product, what can the CSM proactively do to educate the client about the advantages of an adjacent solution? If CSMs were to be able to operate in that manner, what would happen to the renewal rate? Through the moon, that's what. And AI would enable that model to be executed at scale.
AI cannot perform in the same manner as the CSM described above, at least not yet. Much as a physician possesses the unique human quality of empathy and the ability to do a much better job of factoring into diagnoses and treatment plans the intangible quality of trust, so too do CSMs have the edge in those regards over AI. For the foreseeable future, only a human will be able to ponder how to deal effectively at a scale that humans relate to but they will need the assistance of AI if they want to make a broader impact across many humans, many territories, and many societies.

Help Bible Senders spread the "Good News" worldwide by putting new and gently used bibles back to work!
If you are like many Christians, you probably have 3, 4 or 5 extra bibles in different translations and languages, just lying around collecting dust. Here is a chance to put those gently used bibles back to work and help fulfill The Great Commission in Mark 16:15. Join Bible Senders as we work to send new and gently used bibles all over the world and give them "Free Of Charge" to anyone who asks!
Imagine Not Having A Bible?
Today, as you read this, there are still literally tens of thousands of people here in the U.S. and millions around the world who have yet to really hear the Almost Too Good To Be True News. As Paul says in Romans (Romans 10:14-15), "How can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent?" Jesus changed the world with 12 men with one heart. Together, your family and mine, we can make a difference too by putting a free bible in their hands.
What Can I Do?
Christianity is not a spectator sport, contact is absolutely required! Bible Senders is a Donor Supported Ministry and you can choose to get involved. That's why Paul spoke so often about renewing your mind, it is your choice. So, come on in and join us, the water is both refreshing and rewarding.

My New Car Purchase is Done...I posted this in my forum. :)
Well, I took the leap! On Labor Day, I bought a 2005 Nissan Maxima 3.5SE and it is much more than I expected from the Altima I was planning to buy. When I was shopping for my new Altima 3.5SE, I realized that the price was a bit more than I wanted to be tied down to. Besides the fact I did'nt come close to the being able to afford all of the options I wanted. I ended up leaving the Nissan Dealership upset and ready to settle for less. I was intending to buy the 2005 Toyota Avalon limited I was also researching. When I got to the Toyota Dealership, they were closed--On Labor Day! Much to my surprise, I walked briefly on the pre-owned lot and Then I saw them.....I spotted a couple of Nissan emblems--They were both Maximas! One was an '04 & the other was an '05! They were loaded to the gills but neither, in fact all the vehicles had no pricing on them. Right then, I called the Nissan dealership and asked if they had either of these beauties and he said YES, 2 of them! I told him I was coming right back and when he pulled it around the building, it was love at first sight. My salesman said he tried to tell me about the Maximas but I wasn't hearing anything he was syaing. Turns out I was meant to have my Maxima.
I can't go into all of the features of this car because there are so many but it is well beyond my wildest dreams--a true blessing from God. From the moon roof to the leather/suede interior to the BOSE 6-CD system--I couldn't be happier--The color is red and it is just gorgeous! Oh, and the 3.5L Engine with the dual exhausts--oh yeah! this car is exactly what was in my heart!
I am truly blessed to have found my 2005 Nissan Maxima 3.5SE right in the nick of time. Yay!

These Sweethearts Need a Forever Home
Meet our Pet "s" of the week! There's more to love there's two of them!
These two little sweethearts are Bobby and Pisces. Bobby (on left) is a 3 year old male, and Pisces (on right) is a 7 year old female, and these little cocker spaniels would just love a great home of their own. They had a home, but they were given up by their family who said their home wasn't big enough for two dogs. Bobby and Pisces are truly just the sweetest little pups. Both were quite shy when they came to us but after getting to know us, they couldn't be happier to go out for walks and make new friends. Both are so curious and love checking things out. They are very well behaved and walk well on a leash too. Bobby is a playful little guy that loves toys. Pisces is playful too, but once she's done, she just wants to climb up in your lap for a nap. Both are very gentle and loving, and just love people. Bobby and Pisces are extremely bonded with each other and we're assuming they've been together forever. Bobby counts on Pisces to lead the way and let him know that everything is ok before he proceeds with meeting new people or doing new things. We will be looking for a home for this happy little pair where they can stay together forever. Bobby and Pisces are so deserving of a fresh start in life.....please give them the wonderful home of their dreams.

The Ridgefield Nature center consists of 5.4 acres of deciduous wooded wetlands and upland.
The nature center is only open on Saturdays to the public from 8AM-Noon.
The interpretive trail is wide and lined with old tree trunks. There are more than 25 educational signage covering everything from Pokeweed (as listed in the picture below) to Sassafras Trees.
Given the woods location on the Atlantic Flyway, many species of birds ranging from Red-winged Blackbird, White-breasted Nuthatch, Baltimore Oriole, American Goldfinch and other species are found here. A unique nonnative bird that can be found in the woods is the Monk Parakeet.
One of the more unique trees found at Ridgefield Nature Center is the American Persimmon tree. The tree is thought to be growing here at its extreme northern limit. The tree is found generally in the south. The bark of the Persimmon tree resembles alligator skin.
The day I visited the nature center this gigantic old mushroom was found and was on display.
The forest is surrounded by dense residential development to the north, south and west of the property. To the east of the forest is the Ridgefield Community Garden.
The garden is open for local residents to plant veggies or establish a butterfly garden. Wolf Creek flows to the east of the gardens and includes an estimated .58 of an acre of wetlands. The creek is a tribute of Bellmans Creek, a major lower Hackensack River Tributary. Both the community garden and Ridgefield Nature Center were once owned by the Great Bear Company which used the property to distribute bottled water. The Borough of Ridgefield purchased the combined 12 acres of the community garden and Ridgefield Nature Center land in 1975.
The woods are open to the public on Saturdays from 8am to Noon. Group Tours can be made by appointment by calling 201-943-5215 x353. The community garden is accessible to the public at any time during the day. The nature center is maintained by members of the Ridgefield Environmental Commission.

Sounders using smart cards for season tickets; Seahawks next
The Sounders and Seahawks are owned by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft. The paperless technology is tied to a Microsoft Dynamics CRM system installed last year to track data from gate admissions and food and retail concession sales.
About 11,000 of the Sounders' 32,000 season-ticket holders use the cards. All season-ticket holders were given the option to go paperless during the renewal process in September, said Bart Wiley, director of business development. The Sounders pitched paperless in part as a green initiative.
|About 11,000 Sounders ticket holders use the cards.
Early in the season, the Sounders are testing the magnetic stripe by providing groups of 15 card holders with $10 in complimentary credits to spend on food, drink and retail at four home games in May, Wiley said.
The goal is to make the cashless concessions piece available for all card holders by midsummer, he said. To add value, card holders log into their Ticketmaster Account Manager program to link a credit card number. They can also transfer their tickets by email for games they cannot attend.
To further track fans' spending habits, the Sounders are encouraging all card holders to have their cards swiped every time they make a food, beverage or retail purchase. During the month of May, card holders receive a 30 percent discount on all food and drink, excluding alcohol, and a 20 percent discount on Sounders polo shirts. The discounts are in effect for 90 minutes, from the time the gates open through the first kick.
In addition, the Sounders activated a promotion called "Swipe. Save. Win." tied to an opportunity for one fan to watch the final minutes of the match on the field and participate in a meet-and-greet with a Sounders player after each game.
After the season, the Sounders will analyze all smart card data to create a full-scale rewards program for next season, Wiley said.
The Sounders are not the first MLS team to use paperless ticketing. The New York Red Bulls installed a similar system at their new stadium when it opened in 2010. In the NBA, about a half-dozen teams have used smart cards as season tickets and for concessions.
In the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have used paperless technology for season-ticket holders, said league spokesman Brian McCarthy.
In Seattle, the Seahawks plan to activate smart cards for the 2013 season after the technology is fully developed, Wiley said. As it stands now, the Seahawks would be the first NFL club to store all ticketing, food and merchandise data in one card, McCarthy said.
PACKAGE DEAL: The effort by a group of eight soccer stadiums to schedule more concerts in those facilities has brought greater attention to those buildings despite the stiff competition they face from Live Nation and AEG, the two biggest event promoters, which also own and operate amphitheaters and arenas.
The Soccer Stadium Alliance, a network of seven MLS clubs and the North American Soccer League's Rochester Rhinos that was formed in August, has confirmed Journey/Loverboy/Pat Benatar on Aug. 31, and a country music festival Sept. 8 at Livestrong Sporting Park in Kansas City.
In Rochester, the Summerland 2012 Tour with Sugar Ray, Everclear and the Gin Blossoms is set for July 26 at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester.
The alliance is holding dates for three to seven tours in September and October, said Donnie Frizzell, the group's consultant.
Frizzell, a veteran promoter, is already having discussions with agents and band managers about developing daylong country, rock and electronic music festivals to play all eight soccer facilities in 2013.
Creating content specifically for those venues, which have 18,000 to 27,000 seats, provides better opportunities to book live music compared with competing for a date on a national tour of amphitheaters, Frizzell said.
Yallapalooza, a six-act country fest at Livestrong Park tied to a local radio station, is one example, he said. This will be the second year for that event in the market after it relocated from an amphitheater in Greater Kansas City.

Phentermine is a drug that is used for suppressing one's appetite. It is a medication that works within the brain and as a result of which one undergoes a physiological change as a result of which they no longer feel hungry. It has been used for years in many different parts of the world to help fat people lose weight. Mostly phentermine is prescribed to patients in a planned weight loss program that has exercise and workout in it to aid people in losing fat in less time. Majority of expensive diet plans include this medication to help people get smart in a very small amount of time.
Dosage of Phentermine highly differ among people. Proper doses are determined by the doctors who have to keep a patient's weight, appetite, workout and many other such details under consideration before making a prescription. Average dosages of Phentermine for adults range between 15 to 37 mg per day as per requirement. If you buy phentermine online than you should start from smaller doses and increase them as per requirement with the passage of time and later decrease the doses when the weight loss goals are met.
Phentermine is among the medications that are not suitable for pregnant women under any circumstances. While mothers who are breastfeeding should also not take it because it can pass on to the child and effects its appetite. People with a history of heart problems should not take phentermine. Mostly consulting a doctor before taking phentermine is a good idea. But still you can buy phentermine online without prescription and take it on you your own without and fear unless you notice some side effects.
Side Effects
There are many different side effects related to phentermine and some of these side effects might need a doctor's attention. Mostly people could have dizziness, difficulty sleeping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation or difficulty falling asleep. Apart from these there could be other minor side effects that one should lookout for and seek a doctor if condition worsens
