FOLLOWING extensive customer outreach, CME Group announced that beginning April 8, it will trim the trading day for its CBOT grain and oilseed and KCBT wheat contracts from the current 21-hour schedule in favor of a 17.5-hour day.
Following a move to a 23-hour trading day by rival Intercontinental Exchange last Spring, CME expanded trading hours for its grain and oilseed markets to the current 21-hour day (Feedstuffs, May 7, 2012). Feedback from traders and industry participants was quick in coming, and not always positive.
"Over the past several months, we have received significant customer feedback about the current CBOT grain trading hours," said Tim Andriesen, CME's managing director of agricultural commodities. "We engaged our customers more formally through one-on-one conversations, focus groups and an online survey, which attracted more than 4,000 responses, to determine what hours best meet their needs."
Andriesen said opinions varied on what modifications should be made to the trading day, but said the plan announced March 5 would balance the needs of a diverse global customer base. The exchange said in January that it would trim trading hours, but would embark on the more extensive outreach effort to gauge how best to design its trading hours (Feedstuffs, Jan. 28).
Starting April 8, the exchange will adopt the new 17.5-hour schedule for its CBOT Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Soybean Meal, Soybean Oil, Rough Rice, Oats and KCBT Wheat futures and options, as well as all related calendar and inter-commodity spread options.
Under the new schedule, electronic overnight trade will occur Sunday through Friday, from 7 p.m. to 7:45 a.m. CT. Electronic trading will take a 45-minute break until floor and CME Globex trading commences at 8:30 a.m. CT, with the day session running through 1:15 p.m.
Trading, both pit and electronic, will be halt from 1:15 p.m. CT through start of the overnight session at 7 p.m., something many grain sector participants had called for publically.
Daily settlements for both floor and CME Globex trading will be based on market activity at or around 1:15 p.m. CT, though trading of Mini-sized Corn, Soybeans and Wheat contracts will continue on the Globex platform through 1:45 p.m. CT.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
With 2006 hot on its heels, its clear that we have yet to get a handle on threats to business integrity. The overall success of criminal activity clearly shows that threat mitigation requires ongoing evolution -- in our approach to infrastructure security, our implementation of security solutions, and the way we think about threats entering the organization.
Vulnerability Begins at Home
Not so surprisingly, though many vendors employ the skills of top-level threat research facilities, none have detected the newest and most insidious threat of all -- the internal resource. Its a common misconception that if the perimeter is protected, the organization must be secure. This line of thinking is directly challenged in worldwide headlines, information theft, misappropriation of access and information assets, and data embezzlement. One of the biggest threats to an organization actually lies within its boundaries.
In its 2005 survey, The Global State of Information Security, PricewaterhouseCoopers found that 33 percent of information security attacks originated from internal employees, while 28 percent came from ex-employees and partners. Further bolstering these findings, law enforcement experts estimate that more than 50 percent of all security breach cases are the result of employees misusing access privileges.
Its an epidemic that goes all the way to the top. In early 2006, the Department of Homeland Security fired an IT administrator who misused his access privileges to read his superiors confidential email. Malicious insiders notwithstanding, unintentional threats, introduced by otherwise well-meaning employees also make up a staggering percentage of the security problems IT will handle daily.
Its Anybodys Game
At RSA 2006, IDC presented their Insider Threat Ecosystem, which breaks the corporate stratosphere into four main parts. At the top are the citizens -- employees who rarely, if ever, do anything to violate the company acceptable use policies and are not a security issue.
Second are the delinquents -- which make up the general employee population -- people who take small liberties, check their personal mail, play games, and do some online shopping. While they can pose a significant security threat, it is rarely intentional.
Then there are renegades -- folks that spend most of the day doing things they should not and often abuse their Internet privileges to install P2P or underground IM applications, and even worse, send confidential company data to outside interested parties. They pose a huge security threat.
Lastly, you have the rogues -- malicious insiders who routinely endanger confidential corporate information assets, usually for financial gain. They pose the biggest security threat yet are often the hardest to catch.
Though experts widely agree that insiders are among the most insidious threats to the enterprise security infrastructure, companies have been slow to accept this realization. In a recent IDC survey regarding corporate security challenges, respondents unfailingly listed malware as the top threat to their organization with spyware coming in a close second. Internal threats barely broke into the list at number five. Although respondents see insider threat as a "bottom of the stack" concern, analysts such as IDCs Brian Burke rank it much higher on the corporate threat mitigation task list.
However, one must look at the context of such surveys. Most respondents were IT or security managers, people tasked with the protection of the network whose primary focus is on the network perimeter. While inappropriate access is a security breach, it would more likely be HR or Legal that would be concerned with employees viewing confidential wage information. IT would be more concerned about keyloggers and malware. Yet in order to secure the enterprise, it must be done from the inside out, defining and, more importantly, enforcing access and use policies as well as agreeing that security is cross-organizational, not a departmentally segmented exercise.
Add to the challenge of internal security the leaps and gains being made by the outside in attack crew and youve got a somewhat overwhelming security scenario. With virus templates, root kits and made-to-order spyware so easy to obtain, all it takes is an Internet connection and some modicum of aptitude to launch an attack. The prevalence of ready-made criminal tools has given rise to a new breed of attackers -- the previously mediocre are now armed with highly capable code.
The external criminals level of sophistication has gone up and at the same time so has their access to criminal tools. In the past, computer crime was kind of like the high school science project and now its an organized effort. The underground community has made it easy to share those types of tools, says Devin Redmond, Sr. Manager for Security Products and Strategy at Websense, With more of these tools becoming available, and more collaboration between criminals, the sophistication level of the attack type as well as the technology, is growing.

Chesterton, G.K. The Everlasting Man Radford: Wilder Publications, 2008
Here is the book that converted C. S. Lewis from atheism to Christianity. This history of mankind, Christ, and Christianity is to some extent a conscious rebuttal of H. G. Wells' Outline of History, which embraced both the evolutionary origins of humanity and the mortal humanity of Jesus. Whereas Orthodoxy detailed Chesterton's own spiritual journey, this book illustrates the spiritual journey of humanity, or at least of Western civilization. A book for both mind and spirit.
Keller, Timothy The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism New York: Riverhead Trade, 2009

Stackhouse, John G. Humble Apologetics: Defending the Faith Today New York: Oxford University Press, 2006
Is it still possible, in an age of religious and cultural pluralism, to engage in Christian apologetics? How can one urge one's faith on others when such a gesture is typically regarded with suspicion, if not outright resentment? In Humble Apologetics John G. Stackhouse brings his wide experience as a historian, philosopher, journalist, and theologian to these important questions and offers surprising--and reassuring--answers.
Strobel, Lee The Case for Christ Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1998

Why is it our natural reaction to grimace when we hurt?
Wincing doesn't make it feel better. Gasping doesn't help. Saying "Ouch" is only useful if you're trying to tell someone (who cares) that what they are doing to you is painful, and that they should stop.
If you're in a situation where nothing makes it feel better, like with a pulled muscle, sprain, or deep bruise, why is it the natural reaction to tell people or make it obvious that you're hurt?
If you're in a situation where you asked to be hurt, and you can't get out of the pain until it's over, as with getting tattooed or receiving a deep-tissue massage, why is it the common reaction to tense, move, yell, complain, wince, etc?
(Image pulled from Google Stock Photos)
When working while limping, many more customers than normal become aggressive and rude, compared to how the average customer acts when I'm healthy.
To cope with the unkindness I have encountered when obviously injured, I sometimes tell myself "Nobody cares. Nobody wants to hear if you are hurt. It doesn't help people understand if they know that you're hurt. It's just another null excuse."
To cope with the unkindness I have encountered when obviously injured, I sometimes tell myself "Nobody cares. Nobody wants to hear if you are hurt. It doesn't help people understand if they know that you're hurt. It's just another null excuse."
What is pain? Why do we experience it even when we cannot help it? When you get a nerve pinch, the nerve is misfiring. It's giving pretty false information. When you sprain a joint, you experience pain that is useful. Rest it until it doesn't hurt, or you're going to cause more damage.
While being stuck in the middle of a severe headache, I accepted it, relaxed into it, and I got a rush from how painful it was. It was like an adrenaline rush. I'm wondering if the pain that can't be helped could be shifted into another sensation.
I can not remember when I first experienced pain and decided it was unpleasant. I do remember being able to focus until I found pain interesting and sometimes even pleasant.
Could the experience of agony be shifted into a positive feeling?
Acknowledge the sensation, tell yourself it's okay to feel it.
What is agony? Why is it so distracting to the point of being debilitating and preventing us from activities?
A friend of mine pointed out that our society rewards those who keep running on a broken ankle; praise the 'heroes' who finish the battle with an arrow sticking out of their side, or worse.
We are uninterested and unimpressed by those who stop, protect their bodies, and rest an injury.
I certainly suffer from this mindset. I want to be the fighter who keeps going even though she's been stabbed and is actively bleeding.
Contrary to this, I think I'm finally giving up and licking my wounds. Every time I am shocked by pain, I am going to analyze it and see what I can create. Can I shift it to be informative, but not unpleasant?
Can I smile every time I feel that knife twist in my ankle, instead of wince?
What are we really capable of, and how good a quality of life can really be achieved?

The surfers wet dream? Riding a 90-foot perfect wave formed by Tsunami weather!
This wave looks more like a moving mountain than a wave! The attempt to have anything to do with this wave other than running in the opposite direction screaming like a little girl is insanity.
That however, didn't stop big wave rider, Garrett McNamara and his support team from going where few others would dare. This 90-foot whopper was filmed off the coast of Nazare, Portugal with the city making a truly beautiful backdrop.
McNamara and his support staff use a jet ski to get the surfer in the perfect position to take off on the journey of a lifetime. When he does thousands of pounds of force generated by the wave propel him along at ever increasing speeds.
The cost for wiping out on a wave like this? Undoubtedly death! Yet the reward is one too beautiful and too indescribable for big wave surfers like McNamara to turn away from.

China Building Ghost Cities In Africa, why?
It was supposed to be a state-of-the-art city for 500,000 - but eerie footage shows how a Chinese-built urbanisation is at risk of becoming Africa's first 'ghost town'.
Constructed on the outskirts of Angola's capital city Luanda, Nova Cidade de Kilamba has 750 eight-storey blocks of flats, a dozen schools and more than 100 shop units.
But, crucially, it has no residents, and many of the nearby slum-dwellers cannot afford the £75,000 price-tag to move in.
This has sparked fears the £2.2billion project, a fraction of the cash China has poured into Africa in recent years,... (more)

If you are looking for a magic fat-burning pill, it does not exist. But now, the possibility for one does.
Berkeley researchers have uncovered a key enzyme in the battle of the bulge. Manipulating it enabled laboratory mice to eat a high-fat diet but keep the weight off.
In our sedentary society there is a traditional method for keeping off extra pounds. We work, sweat and just think about food. Yet, more than half of Americans are overweight. One-in-four is clinically obese.
Researchers at UC Berkeley have discovered a genetic cause; an enzyme called ADLPA, for short. ADLPA stands for "Adipose-specific phopholipase a2."
"Everyone has the gene, but what I would predict is that in obese humans, that they would probably have higher amounts of this gene," explains researcher Maryam Ahmadeian.
Maryam Ahmadeian and Dr. Robin Duncan enineered a group of mouse and removed the enzyme from them which inhibits the burning of fat. Then, they offered the mice all they could eat.
All the mice knew was that they were hungry all the time. So, they ate, and ate, and ate, and ate some more. In fact, they ate the equivalent of going through a buffet line 40 times a day.
Yet, the mice never gained weight. Even the heaviest of the mice lost weight.
The hope is that with further study gene therapy might become a weapon in fighting obesity.
"For them this may be very promising, especially because we know there are so many diseased linked to extreme weight gain," said Duncan.
It would be years before such a treatment hit the market. So, if you are looking for a miracle anti-fat pill, keep your gym membership.

Good news today for BlackBerry 5/6/7 users - BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) has received a wee update to version 18.104.22.168 and it brings BBM Voice to OS5 users. That may well be an old OS now, but I still see so many people around London talking and texting on their BlackBerry Curve 8520's.
In addition, BlackBerry ID is also integrated to ensure a simple transition when switching from one BlackBerry to another. Just remember that if you are going to be using BBM Voice for the first time make sure you either have a data plan with a reasonable allowance or be on WiFi.

As a mother I didn't realize what that meant to me till it was gone. I'm sitting here fighting back tears. I am proud of my son for many reasons. His Guitar playing abilities are Awesome. He makes me remember that once loved music.

TEACH FIRST PARTICIPANTS ONLYCohort 8
The Chemistry Subject Knowledge Enhancement course aims, through a blend of self-directed learning and online tutorials, to:
The course is designed to meet your subject knowledge needs. Study is flexible and can fit around your lifestyle and commitments.
The course is designed for:
All the SKE course content is accessed online.
Successful completion of the course is measured through engagement with the course, progress in the course tests and submitting an e-portfolio.
This is a non-credit bearing course.
Technical Requirements
You must have the following:
For further details: Full technical specifications (pdf)
Please note: If you do not have the equipment listed, you will need to purchase it as funding is not available for IT equipment.
The course requires your active participation to undertake research, solve problems and analyse data. Topics are approached in meaningful contexts in order to encourage you to explore concepts rather than to simply accept knowledge, and to look at what may be familiar subject knowledge in a different way and therefore develop a better understanding of the subject. This approach will help you to model the pedagogic approach that has been proven to facilitate learning in the classroom.
The aim is to direct you to construct your own knowledge through carrying out a series of tasks and activities. You are expected to form a deeper understanding of the concepts behind the issues under discussion and to form an appreciation of their wider context. Where possible, ideas encountered in the on-demand material are linked to classroom practice and vested in practical science.
The course looks briefly at Key Stage 3 themes and approaches, continuing through and beyond Key Stage 4 to secure your subject knowledge sufficiently to support your teaching at AS/A-level, if required. Most of the sessions have a task associated with them which SKE participants are expected to undertake. These tasks are generally of higher GCSE or A-level standard.
Funding and Bursaries for Pre-ITT Applicants
For those students with a conditional ITT offer dependent upon completing an SKE course, the course fee is fully funded, subject to certain eligibility requirements. Bursaries of £200 per week are also available to these students to help support them throughout the course.
We deal with funding and bursary requests as part of the application process.
For full information, read our SKE Funding and Bursary Guidance (pdf).
Serving Teachers
For serving teachers, funding must be secured via the Teaching School Alliances (TSA) who will then pay us direct for your access to the SKE materials.
Applicants who do not meet the pre-ITT funding criteria or who do not apply via a TSA will need to pay the tuition fee.
The course fees for 2017/18 are £200 per week.
(According to the CCCU SKE Student Evaluation Survey)
"If you are thinking about an SKE course, just go ahead and do it. It forces you to refresh your subject which is good. If I hadn't done one, I wouldn't have felt as confident when starting my teacher training."
Helen, SKE Participant, 2016-17
"At first I was a bit scared because it was all online and I thought it would be a bit cold but really it is a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our tutor really followed up on things from the week before. Students are 100% involved in the lesson. I was really surprised about how well it worked online."
Thiebault, SKE Participant, 2016-17
Before starting the online application, make sure you read these step-by-step instructions:
Complete the Online Application
If you believe you are eligible for a bursary, you should attach the following forms when you apply:
8, 12, 16 or 20 weeks - full-time(25hrs/wk minimum average)
Course Dates
Pre-ITT: You must have accepted a conditional offer of an ITT place where the conditions indicate an SKE course must be completed.
Post-ITT (serving teachers): Places must be requested through a group of Teaching School Alliances (TSAs) that have secured the funding for courses this year. The TSA can then commission us to provide access to the SKE course materials.
Other: We can provide our SKE courses to candidates who can't secure a free place but would still benefit from completing a course.

i have a 97 nissan pathfinder le... it does the same thing i alway tell my boyfriend it sounds like birds are in my hood... but ya like when i give it gas i hardly hear it and when im at stop lights and whatever its loud and obnoxious quite embarassing... i would like to know the easiest way to fix this problem0
does anyone know how to fix the loud chirping noise that is under the hood of my truck... it only chirps when im at stop lights, signs, parked, or how much it would cost because i dont have alot of money :mad:0
leonardb4 Posts: 1I have a 2001 LE Pathfinder with the Auto bush button style heater and AC control cluster. All of the lights appear to be "out" except for the manual and mode buttons on the far right side. Are these easy to get to and replace? Kind of a pain not to be able to see the controls at night!0
70ss454_man Posts: 107Is it common for the man computer in a Nissan Pathfinder to go out?
My '87 suddenly quit running this morning while on the freeway, and at first I thought it was the fuel pump, because there is no smell of fuel and nothing is entering the throttle body.
But then I checked for spark, and there isn't spark either.
It simply keeps turning over, totally dead.
05se Posts: 4During a routine oil change at the dealer, the service manager tells me that the rear brake pads need replacement and rotors "resurfaced". Gives me a price of around $230 with labor. Okay............
Went out and purchased new rear brake pads, around $30.00. The next day I went to the mechanic down the street to have them do the work. Explained my situation and what needed to be done. When I mentioned about resurfacing the rotors, he asked me if the rotors were steel or composite. Not knowing the answer, I called the service department at two Nissan dealers to confirm, and both told me that they were steel. Good, since I never budgeted for new rotors......I can have them resurfaced.
Truck goes on the lift, rear tires and wheels removed. "We have a problem" says the manager. "These are not steel, they're composite. Resurfacing ain't gonna work." He takes the rear left rotor off, shows it to me. Yup, the thing is warped as a you know what........Bit the bullet and had steel rotors installed, about $70 each.
Anyone with an 05 or later had a similar experience like this? I think it's just BS that Nissan uses inferior rotors that warp too easily. I know they (and other manufacturers do this), but why cut corners?
Just had to vent for a bit.0
The seepage was detected more than a year ago. I thought it steemed from the firewall/windshield area. A "real" honest local mechainic told me that there was probably a clog in the weep hole area in the door jamb. Looking into the door well when U open the door revealed that leaaves and maple tree 'poly noses" have gathered into the door well. Cleaned that out, dried the carpeting and seemed OK. Now it really leaked, cleaned the same area again [my son at college uses the Pathy], but this time, the entire passenger front side carpet and padding is soaked and smells. Is there a service that can clean and deordorize the carpetting or does it require to be replaced which is expensive....
Anyone. Advise is much appreciated.0
So last week, the PF got stuck due to the corroded battery cable. The pos cable splits and goes to a fuse box under the hood and I suppose down to the starter. There is a remote start in there someplace too and it has a factory immobilizer alarm. I don't really know how that works. The guy put a new battery in and replaced the end of the positive cable with a generic one. So the two plugs that went into the old connector were cut and the wires were sandwiched into the generic new one.
So now, the problem persists. my wife went to the mall and had trouble starting it. The car has plenty of juice but the key is unresponsive as is the remote start. There is not a click or anything but it otherwise has plenty of juice for the windows, radio, etc.
It was towed to city tire and it started right up. We took it to Garden City and back with no problems. I then took it to Stop N Shop and it wouldn't start but fired up on the 3rd or 4th try. When I got home, it wouldn't start and I tried it a few times over a few hours without luck but the next morning, it fired right up. So I left it at City Tire and they want to replace the negative cable. What do you think? Does that sound like the right move?
PS - the chirping problem sounds like the serpentine belt0
I have 2004 Pathfinder V6 3500. I hate this POS. Been nothing but trouble. 4 years old and has been running hot till it boiled over today. Doing the ol puke out the radiator bit. Plenty of AF in it so I figured it would be a stat issue. I removed the stat with not too much aggravation. Here is what I found. Stat LOOKS cooked. white hot markings on it. The probe on top looks somewhat done in as well. Problem I had was going to my local Idiot palace, I.E. AutoZoned out and found that they list an upper and and a lower thermostat? I cannot find ANYWHERE on this monstosity where an UPPER would be. The one I removed is routed to the lower radiator hose and the upper hose routes way behind the engine. I figure a trip to Nissan in the morning is mandatory, but could this PIG actually ANOTHER stat? And please dont tell me it's BY THE FIREWALL. I may just burn this thing to the ground. Thanks0
the upper thermostat is called a water control valve. it is pain to get to and a dealer part (only about $20). I had overheating issues on my 2001. changed out radiator and lower thermostat (don't forget the gasket for the thermostat - it was not included in my NAPA kit.) has been running ok since.

Munny thanks for the reply. Was YOUR radiator pretty clogged? or rotted. This one seems ok and the flow looks good. no buildup as far as I can see. Also were you able to get a thermostat from a local source? The morons around here are useless so I'll be forced into going to nissan tomorrow. Also, where is the WCV located and have you ever heard of this being part of the issue as well? When I took this stat out, it LOOKS cooked. lots of white hot discoloration and the probe on top looks bad too. Thanks0
To All Owners of This model Pathfinder: Found the source of water seepage. There are weep holes in the windshield wiper area. They divert the water from that area down along the inner door hinge area into the door well. There are weep holes in that well area. That allows the water to drain out to the ground. They were Clogged with leaf debris [those freakin polynoses from maple trees mostly] and the water backed up into the door well and into the flooring. My son and I picked up the carpet and the entire floor was soaked, the padding is ruined. The carpet is salvagable. It's been cleaned and dried out (with a shop vac and hair blower). Now the padding will be replaced and the carpets fully shampooed. Hopefully - good as new.0
I moved into the North Carolina area last September. Had the timing belt replaced and new tires, plus tune up. Engine light came on a week later. Adjustments were made and the engine light came on and off until recently when it stayed on. Same diagnostic code...throttle position switch was replaced. A week later engine light was back on...now they tell me it is a leak somewhere and needs a smoke test. My concern is that everytime they do work on the car, I leave only to return with the engine light on and another problem. How likely is it that work is performed and a week later another pops up. You hear stories of mechanics doing things to your car so that they can generate more business. Is it possible this was done or perhaps a tool was dropped causing a hole somewhere? It is a 98 Nissan Pathfinder with 117,500 miles - new transmission back in 2002. Help!0
Munny, thanks for answering my overheating question . You mentioned the water control valve and that it was a pain to get to. I cant even see it. Looking at the scematic you gave me the link to, it looks like it's mounted between the firewall and the back of the heads, but I cant see it. Is it possible that the throttle body/intake needs to be removed to get access? Also I did the lower stat. No Go, temp is ok at idle but rises the minute you race the engine. Bad Flow. Im going to repl the radiator AND the water pump. Nissan and another local clown are trying sell me on a head gasket. I twisted wrenches years ago and I've NEVER seen a HG blow and NOT have a crank full of milk, or the white smoke parade. I have neither, so I think they're trying to ace me. anyway, anything you can add about the WCV and it's access would be appreciated. Thanks
When the positive battery cable is unhooked, the light will stay off for a hundred miles or so while the computer resets itself. It sounds like they're throwing parts at it rather than analyzing the problem.
The codes should tell them all they need to know to get to the bottom of it with a little legwork0
Thank you...have been researching the code which said it was a small evaporation leak. Information about it led to something called a bypass valve?? located under the right rear tire?? Anyway, checked the coolant level in the car and found it to be at the minimum level. Called the repair shop and asked them if they had noticed this when they were servicing the car. Hello....was told that it should have been checked and topped off. Long story short - found out it would be cheaper for me to keep the coolant at maximum level than having to search for a small leak. It's a great car...transmission 5 years old, new tires, body of the car in great shape...I just want to keep it as long as possible. You don't seem to get the service you used to get - everything boils down to having to check in behind people. Frustrating.0
msmith_31 Posts: 1I have a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder with 55,000 miles. Two weeks ago the check engine light came on so I took it to the local dealership. They told me the computer read an error with a timing cylinoid. Then they asked me if I knew that the engine was blown. I was a total shocked! They told me there was only 1 quart of oil in the engine, and no oil was registering on the dipstick. They then ran a claim through Nissan Corp to cover it under warranty. This was denied because it was 3 months out of warranty, even though it was under the 60,000 mile threshold. My first problem with all this is there was no warning, no low oil or oil pressure light. I then called Nissan Corp myself to file a claim. They asked if I had the service records, and emphatically insisted that they would need them before action could be taken. I was able to come up with adequate service records, but after insisting I provide the service records they came back and said the service records do not matter. The vehicle is 3 months out of warranty and they would do nothing. Has anyone ever been treated like this from Nissan, or do you have any advice on how I can proceed from here? I am irate at their attitude and lack of willingness to help!
I have an '01 PF, and when it had 90k miles the Check Engine Light came on inidcating a problem with one of the cataiytic converters. There was a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) published by Nissan describing a software upgrade to the engine computer because the computer would prematurely think the converters were worn out. The dealer upgraded the software at a cost of several hundred dollars, and that solved the problem. I sent Nissan a letter demanding a refund as the software problem clearly existed the day the car left the factory, so the upgrade should have been covered under the warranty irrespective of the age of the car. Nissan didn't even bother to give me the courtesy of a response. Matt, your truck is clearly out of warranty, so Nissan is not obligated to make the repair. All you can do is never buy a Nissan product again, and warn your friends how you were treated. 30 years ago I had a Honda Accord's engine blow within a few thousand miles after the warranty expired, and Honda would do nothing about it despite that I had changed the oil every 3000 miles. I never bought a Honda product again. One other thought. Is it possible that you caused or contributed to the problem by not checking the oil level? You mentioned that you didn't get a warning light. How often were you checking your oil level? You really need to check your oil every time you stop for fuel as the manual says. The reason you didn't get a "low oil level" warning light if because your truck doesn't have one...few vehicles do. There is no subsitute for checking your oil regularly. Your truck takes 5 quarts of oil. For example, if your engine was burning and/or leaking a quart of oil every 1000 miles (not that unusual), and it's been 4000 miles since your last oil change, that would explain why there was only 1 quart of oil left. Driving your truck with only one quart of oil in the engine could certainly be the reason your engine blew. And the oil pressure warning light is merely an indication of a problem with the engine's oil pump. It had nothing to do with the engine oil level. Unless there was a problem with the oil pump (or the light itself), that won't light until your engine is pretty much out of oil, and when that happen's it's too late...the damage has already been done.0
kvenanzi Posts: 5A friend of mine owns a 2005 PF and started having issues with the transmission not engaging right away from reverse to drive (automatic)...they took it in and dealer said it was fine and told them to change the fluid with some synthetic stuff which was done for maybe $180 (not sure)........problem gradually got worse and 3 months later it is really bad....took it to the dealer and they said it needs a new transmission for (i think they said) $3000. Thing is..it is now 3 months past warranty but it wasnt the first time they took it in....Nissan dealership is doing nothing and now my friend is trying to contact corporate to get some resolve.....does any one have any advise or past experiences with this...the PF was used a most suvs...take the kids to school and run to the mall...0
I can't imagine that they will have any problem at all so long as they have the service order showing why they brought it to the dealer just before the warranty expired, and that they can document that the trans fluid was changed per Nissan's maintenance schedule. If they do have the above documentation and Nissan refuses (and there's no other pertinent facts that perhaps you are not aware of), it's time to sue them. On the other hand, if they did not change the trans fluid as they were suppossed to, the problem will most likely be judged to be the owner's fault.0
Valve water control - it looked like hell to get to so i did not bother.
as for the radiator - the radiator could have good flow in and out but still be clogged. i used an infrared temp monitor and profiled the radiator. the sides were very hot but the middle was relatively cold - had little to no flow
i would replace the water pump at the same time as the thermostat since already down there.
I sold the pathfinder last week. i was spending a few hundred bucks every other month lately so had enough.0
meltnar Posts: 1Hi - I have an 05 PF, I'm getting a hissing sound from the passenger side of the engine back by the firewall, I've cut a re-sealed the main hose coming in but I'm still getting this sound and the engine with flutter every few minutes.
Do I need to remove the intake to find this leak?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Mel0
Hey munny, thanks for the reply. You're right.It looks like hell so I did not bother either. But I DID flip the radiator as well as The radiator CAP, which believe it or not, can cause the problem on it's own when the rubber gasket swells slightly. So far no problems or overheats, seems to be back to "normal". Or as normal as a Pathfinder will ever be. I still have a years worth of payments on this pig, then it's by by and NEVER ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. Man what a dissapointment.0
alwaysbusy Posts: 11My SES light has been on about 2 weeks. All maintenance is performed including recent 60k service. Took to dealer. Told me not to worry. Checked the gas cap, it was on tight. Now that gas has come down I'm filling up with premium (Costco) again. SES light still on. Anyone else with this problem? Also at 60k (almost like clockwork) the center console 'flip top' clip broke off.. as did the double cup holders on the back of the console!
What about the possibility that the gas cap needs to be replaced... does that happen? :confuse:0
i would like to know what size the lines are for the e-brake for 96 nissan pathfinder se0
ctdsixspeed Posts: 1Hi, I have a 95 pathy 4x4,when backing up there is a loud squeaking noise in the front end. It seems to come equally from both sides and does it backing up OR rolling backwards when not running. What could this be? thanks in advance.0
i am really not sure but it sounds like a differential problem i would start by looking into the differential0
tfried Posts: 1Hi I have a 2005 pathfinder i just purchased and check engine light is on I scanned it and it came up with p1122 and p1126 which is throttle position motor relay and the throttle position actuator well the relay is ok how do I check the actuator. when I push the gas pedal down when it is idling there is no response, no change in the idle0
Hi. For my 2001 SE, All at once my front left headlight, front left fog light, and 3 out of the 4 power windows (not including driver side) have lost power. I can't seem to find a blown fuse. Any ideas? I'd appreciate any suggestions as to how to fix this problem. Thanks!0
Please disregard my fuse question. It has been fixed. thanks0

On August 21 I am planning to perform a major update to the site. I can't give a specific time in which the update will happen other than probably sometime between 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. (Central Time, USA). There is a very small chance that a prior commitment will interfere with this and if so the update will be rescheduled for a later date.
I have spent the better part of the last year or so rebuilding the site from the ground up and the result should (hopefully) lead to quicker load times for the pages and for a better experience on mobile platforms. For the most part the update should be seamless for you with a couple of potential exceptions. I have tried to set things up so that there should be next to no down time on the site. However, if you are the site right as the update happens there is a small possibility that you will get a "server not found" type of error for a few seconds before the new site starts being served. In addition, the first couple of pages will take some time to load as the site comes online. Page load time should decrease significantly once things get up and running however.
The topics covered here are errors that students often make
in doing algebra, and not just errors typically made in an algebra class. I've seen every one of these mistakes made by
students in all level of classes, from algebra classes up to senior level math
classes! In fact a few of the examples
in this section will actually come from calculus.
If you have not had
calculus you can ignore these examples.
In every case where I've given examples I've tried to include examples
from an algebra class as well as the occasion example from upper level courses
like Calculus.
I'm convinced that many of these are mistakes given here are
caused by people getting lazy or getting in a hurry and not paying attention to
what they're doing. By slowing down,
paying attention to what you're doing and paying attention to proper notation
you can avoid the vast majority of these mistakes!
Division by Zero
Everyone knows that the problem is that far too many people also
say that or ! Remember that division by zero is
undefined! You simply cannot divide by
zero so don't do it!
Here is a very good example of the kinds of havoc that can
arise when you divide by zero. See if you
can find the mistake that I made in the work below.
So, we've managed to prove that 1 = 2! Now, we know that's not true so clearly we
made a mistake somewhere. Can you see
where the mistake was made?
The mistake was in step 5.
Recall that we started out with the assumption . However, if this is true then we have ! So, in step 5 we are really dividing by
That simple mistake led us to something that we knew wasn't
true, however, in most cases your answer will not obviously be wrong. It will not always be clear that you are
dividing by zero, as was the case in this example. You need to be on the lookout for this kind
of thing.
Remember that you CAN'T divide by zero!
Bad/lost/Assumed Parenthesis
This is probably error that I find to be the most
frustrating. There are a couple of
errors that people commonly make here.
The first error is that people get lazy and decide that
parenthesis aren't needed at certain steps or that they can remember that the parenthesis
are supposed to be there. Of course the
problem here is that they often tend to forget about them in the very next
The other error is that students sometimes don't understand
just how important parentheses really are.
This is often seen in errors made in exponentiation as my first couple
of examples show.
Example 1 Square
Note the very important difference between these two! When dealing with exponents remember that
only the quantity immediately to the left of the exponent gets the
exponent. So, in the incorrect case,
the x is the quantity immediately
to the left of the exponent so we are squaring only the x while the 4 isn't squared.
In the correct case the parenthesis is immediately to the left of the
exponent so this signifies that everything inside the parenthesis should be
Parenthesis are required in this case to make sure we
square the whole thing, not just the x,
so don't forget them!
Example 2 Square
This one is similar to the previous one, but has a
subtlety that causes problems on occasion.
Remember that only the quantity to the left of the exponent gets the
exponent. So, in the incorrect case
ONLY the 3 is to the left of the exponent and so ONLY the 3 gets squared!
Many people know that technically they are supposed to
square -3, but they get lazy and don't write the parenthesis down on the
premise that they will remember them when the time comes to actually evaluate
it. However, it's amazing how many of
these folks promptly forget about the parenthesis and write down -9 anyway!
Example 3 Subtract
Be careful and note the difference between the two! In the first case I put parenthesis around
then and in the second I didn't. Since we are subtracting a polynomial we
need to make sure we subtract the WHOLE polynomial! The only way to make sure we do that
correctly is to put parenthesis around it.
Again, this is one of those errors that people do know
that technically the parenthesis should be there, but they don't put them in
and promptly forget that they were there and do the subtraction incorrectly.
Example 4 Convert
to fractional exponents.
This comes back to same mistake in the first two. If only the quantity to the left of the
exponent gets the exponent. So, the
incorrect case is really and this is clearly NOT the original root.
Example 5 Evaluate
This is a calculus problem, so if you haven't had calculus
you can ignore this example. However,
far too many of my calculus students make this mistake for me to ignore it.
Note the use of the parenthesis. The problem states that it is -3 times the
WHOLE integral not just the first term of the integral (as is done in the
incorrect example).
Improper Distribution
Be careful when using the distribution property! There two main errors that I run across on a
regular basis.
Example 1 Multiply
Make sure that you distribute the 4 all the way through
the parenthesis! Too often people just
multiply the first term by the 4 and ignore the second term. This is especially true when the second
term is just a number. For some
reason, if the second term contains variables students will remember to do
the distribution correctly more often than not.
Example 2 Multiply
Remember that exponentiation must be performed BEFORE you
distribute any coefficients through the parenthesis!
Additive Assumptions
I didn't know what else to call this, but it's an error that
many students make. Here's the
assumption. Since then everything works like this. However, here is a whole list in which this
doesn't work.
It's not hard to convince yourself that any of these aren't
true. Just pick a couple of numbers and
plug them in! For instance,
You will find the occasional set of numbers for which one of
these rules will work, but they don't work for almost any randomly chosen pair
of numbers.
Note that there are far more examples where this additive assumption doesn't work than
what I've listed here. I simply wrote
down the ones that I see most often.
Also a couple of those that I listed could be made more general. For instance,
Canceling Errors
These errors fall into two categories. Simplifying rational expressions and solving
equations. Let's look at simplifying rational expressions first.
Example 1 Simplify
(done correctly).
Notice that in order to cancel the x out of the denominator I first factored an
out of the numerator. You can only cancel something if it is
multiplied by the WHOLE numerator and denominator, or if IS the whole
numerator or denominator (as in the case of the denominator in our example).
Contrast this with the next example which contains a very
common error that students make.
Example 2 Simplify
(done incorrectly).
Far too many
students try to simplify this as,
In other words,
they cancel the x in the
denominator against only one of the x's
in the numerator (i.e. cancel the x only from the first term or only from the second term)..
THIS CAN'T BE DONE!!!!! In
order to do this canceling you MUST have an x in both terms.
To convince yourself that this kind of canceling isn't
true consider the following number example.
Example 3 Simplify
This can easily be done just be doing the arithmetic as
However, let's do an incorrect cancel similar to the
previous example. We'll first cancel
the two in the denominator into the eight in the numerator. This is NOT CORRECT, but it mirrors the
canceling that was incorrectly done in the previous example. This gives,
Clearly these two aren't the same! So you need to be careful with canceling!
Now, let's take a quick look at canceling errors involved in
solving equations.
Example 4 Solve
(done incorrectly).
Too many students get used to just canceling (i.e.
simplifying) things to make their life easier. So, the biggest mistake in solving this
kind of equation is to cancel an x
from both sides to get,
While, is a solution, there is another solution
that we've missed. Can you see what it
is? Take a look at the next example to
see what it is.
Example 5 Solve
(done correctly).
Here's the correct way to solve this equation. First get everything on one side then
From this we can see that either
In the second case we get the we got in the first attempt, but from the
first case we also get that we didn't get in the first
attempt. Clearly will work in the equation and so is a
We missed the in the first attempt because we tried to make
our life easier by "simplifying" the equation before solving. While some simplification is a good and
necessary thing, you should NEVER divide out a term as we did in the first
attempt when solving. If you do this you
WILL loose solutions.
Proper Use of Square Root
There seems to be a very large misconception about the use
of square roots out there. Students seem
to be under the misconception that
This is not correct however.
Square roots are ALWAYS positive or zero! So the correct value is
This is the ONLY value of the square root! If we want the -4 then we do the following
Notice that I used parenthesis only to make the point on
just how the minus sign was appearing!
In general the middle two steps are omitted. So, if we want the negative value we have to
actually put in the minus sign!
I suppose that this misconception arises because they are
also asked to solve things like . Clearly the answer to this is and often they will solve by "taking the
square root" of both sides. There is a
missing step however. Here is the proper
solution technique for this problem.
Note that the
I feel that I need to point out that many instructors
(including myself on occasion) don't help matters in that they will often omit
the second step and by doing so seem to imply that the
So remember that square roots ALWAYS return a positive
answer or zero. If you want a negative you'll
need to put it in a minus sign BEFORE you take the square root.
Ambiguous Fractions
This is more a notational issue than an algebra issue. I decided to put it here because too many
students come out of algebra classes without understanding this point. There are really three kinds of "bad"
notation that people often use with fractions that can lead to errors in work.
The first is using a "/" to denote a fraction, for instance
2/3. In this case there really isn't a
problem with using a "/", but what about 2/3x? This can be either of the two following
It is not clear from 2/3x
which of these two it should be! You, as
the student, may know which one of the two that you intended it to be, but a
grader won't. Also, while you may know
which of the two you intended it to be when you wrote it down, will you still
know which of the two it is when you go back to look at the problem when you
You should only use a "/" for fractions when it will be
clear and obvious to everyone, not just you, how the fraction should be
The next notational problem I see fairly regularly is people
writing . It is not clear from this if the x belongs in the denominator or the
fraction or not. Students often write
fractions like this and usually they mean that the x shouldn't be in the denominator.
The problem is on a quick glance it often looks like it should be in the
denominator and the student just didn't draw the fraction bar over far enough.
If you intend for the x
to be in the denominator then write it as such that way, ,
i.e. make sure that you draw the
fraction bar over the WHOLE denominator.
If you don't intend for it to be in the denominator then don't leave any
doubt! Write it as .
The final notational problem that I see comes back to using
a "/" to denote a fraction, but is really a parenthesis problem. This involves fractions like
Often students who use "/" to denote fractions will write
this is fraction as
These students know that they are writing down the original
fraction. However, almost anyone else
will see the following
This is definitely NOT the original fraction. So, if you MUST use "/" to denote fractions
use parenthesis to make it clear what is the numerator and what is the
denominator. So, you should write it as

Buckwallow Ontario cup
Round what ever in the Ontario scene brought us to the land of rocks. Had some simple plans for this race, survive the double track and pin it in the singletrack. Basiclly work my strength and try and cover my losses where I'm weak.
The start was intense, long double track. It seemed longer than I remember and with random rocks and roots on there it was tough tucking in the pack. The first lap felt pretty good, rode the technical well and when I came up on riders I got a chance to recover. Then we hit the double track and I suffered. was still semi fast though.
Lap two had Mr. Holmes join me, we worked together for a bit but couldn't keep his pace on the double track. I was also stressing a little, my bottle decided it didn't like my bike and removed itself early in the lap. No worries,I can suffer it out till the feed. Again the lap felt pretty good, strong where I should be etc etc.
Came through the feed and took a huge gulp, turned left into the single track feeling relieved and good, pick it up a little. When I exited upon the double track I reached down for my bottle. "Are you shitting me?". No bottle, this is going to start taking its toll. I tried to stay positive and keep pushing hard but I could feel the legs craving a bit a some sort of calorie intake. I started to watch for my previously dropped bottle on the trail. I also got tempted to just grab some random bottle but everyone I spotted I was travelling to fast to make it worth stopping.
Lap 4, I was feeling it, that hint of cramping. Trying to bring in fluids as quick as I can but not bloat myself. Damaged was done,this lap was going to be survival. I also panicked a bit about losing this bottle. That's when one of my strategically dropped bottles appeared. Dam right I stopped and picked it up. You know, just in case.
By the midway part of the lap I knew I was going to survive without cramping, attempted to raise my pace a little. I could hear some bikes in the distance and wasn't sure if my fading was allowing someone in my division to gain, ended up being Watson lapping through for the win in elite. Crossed the line a few minutes later.
A couple things, the 1.5 hour kayak Saturday nit may have not been a great idea but was enjoyable. I really missed my dualie yesterday, need that baby fixed before provincials. I was happy with my results, considering the lack of training etc etc. I'll be changing out that bottle cage this week.
I need coffee, a lot of it

Tamil Nadu HSC Commerce Result 2018, TN 12th commerce Result 2018 check online
Being one of the most known states in providing quality education to student and with a literacy rate of 80.11{4e02c539215b7b748e209c91ce2981d0d10fb004ed6138f025548750dc163966} Tamil Nadu has the most number of literate citizens in India. With such good academic education, they proved to be a growing state in education in passing quality education to many students. The state board of Nadu is very much proficient and keep a regular check of students in every aspect. We know students are waiting for TN HSC Commerce result 2018 after successfully giving examinations of all subjects. The result of Tamil Nadu and all other state boards takes at least a span of 2 months to get done with their procedure of checking answer sheets.
TN HSC Commerce result 2018
If we see the statistics of Central board state education (CBSE) students and State board students then they have a slight gap in performance. The most accurate reason can be the difference between numbers of students who had registered for both the boards. In few weeks students will be able to see their TN HSC Commerce result 2018. Students needed to handle bunches of an issue in making sense of the current year's inquiry paper as there was a slight change in patter and trouble level that made them minimal stressed over their outcome.
Both the state boards SSC and HSC have their own future aspects that depend upon the streams students choose to pursue in future to fulfill their dreams. We can also see a sufficient growth in past HSC result 2018 and same goes for Science and art students' result.
TN 12th Commerce result 2018
But because of the lack of Jobs in Science stream, most students are shifting their focus to commerce as the future aspects and career are also good. Students can get shortlisted in good colleges too and that is mostly based on TN 12th Commerce result 2018 as they can get admission in colleges using the resulting score. Colleges that most likely to be at the top are Loyola College, Ethiraj College for Women, Madras Christian College, and Stella Maris College etc.
These colleges provide all sorts of facilities that are required by students in progressing towards a successful career after clearing HSC result with good marks. Now if any student was not lucky enough to get admission in above colleges than he/she can choose different colleges as Tamil Nadu had various government and private universities too which are also in demand.
HSC result 2018 expected date
If we look at the prediction of this year HSC result 2018 then we can say see a little downfall as this year both SSC and HSC exams have less number of students as compare to previous years. As of now, there is no official notification regarding the delay of TN 12th Commerce result 2018 and it won't be as authorities didn't face any issue while evaluating answer sheets. Those who have a problem in checking the result can see the other pages linked to the website. Results may be declared online on the second week of May.

Kendall Jenner Makes Blink-and-You'll-Miss-It Debut in Givenchy Fall Ad Campaign
Kendall Jenner's star in the fashion world has risen almost as high as the splits she wears on the red carpet.
The 18-year-old celebuspawn does her best "Resting Bitch Face" (Smiles, people!) in a pair of moody new ads for Givenchy's Fall/Winter collection. It's the lanky model's first high fashion ad campaign; coming on the heels of a year filled with red carpet homeruns and notable catwalker appearances for the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.
Jenner appears on the bottom left side of the first released photo, shot by shutterbug duo Mert and Marcus. The raven-haired California girl is almost unrecognizable, adorned in ebony-toned lipstick and smokey eyes.
But, make no mistake, it's Kendall. Givenchy confirmed as much in a chat with Fashionista.com, shortly after the image arrived online Tuesday. Fash fans can expect to see Kendall in additional ads touting the designer's fall collection in the months to come.
And she's not the only famous offspring to appear in the ad: Peter Brant II — the son of Peter Brant and supermodel Stephanie Seymour — also makes an appearance. He's second from the left.
Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci is a noted friend of the Kardashians. He designed Kim's dress for her May wedding to rapper Kanye West.
A heavily-pregnant Kim also wore the designer to the 2013 Met Gala. The long-sleeved floral frock, perhaps best remembered as "The Cabbage Leaf Sofa Dress," being one of her most heckled looks ever.

Yogurt could be the next victim of EC bureaucracy, warns Casilda Grigg
A food whose only crime is an affinity for honey, cereal and fruit has emerged as the latest victim of bureaucratic fervour from Brussels. The EC, with its uncanny habit of attacking the things that lie at the very core of our nationhood, has already tried to outlaw our chocolate, crisps and sausages. Nothing, it seems, is too daft for an edict from Brussels. Remember the ban on curved cucumbers? Now yogurt, a food of unimpeachable virtue, is in the firing line.
If a new EC food proposal (now in its fourth draft) becomes law, yogurt sold throughout Europe could become standardised, meaning that every brand would potentially taste the same. Instead of a choice of styles, shoppers would face a flood of identical yogurts from EC member states, all made out of a yogurt culture (Bulgaricus Lactobacillus) that has long been abandoned by British makers.
The Brussels proposal, which the commission says is designed to facilitate trade, would mean kissing goodbye to thick, creamy yogurts as we know them. According to the proposed legislation, the milk content of yogurt would be restricted, meaning that we would be faced with a thinner, more liquid product, or one that owed its consistency to artificial stabilisers or thickeners. Anything outside those limits could not be called yogurt. Instead, it would have to carry what Brussels describes, rather chillingly, as an "appropriate qualifier", such as "yogurt mild" or "yogurt style".
The Dairy Industry Association, which oversees a British yogurt market worth £740 million a year, is vehemently opposed to this proposed legislation, believing it would undermine a young, but innovative industry that has evolved to suit British palates.
"The regulation would turn the clock back by specifying a yogurt culture that hasn't been used here for years," says the association's technical director, Dr Ed Komorowski. "Bulgaricus gives a sharp, acidic taste, but British consumers prefer a milder, thicker product."
To comply with Brussels, yogurt manufacturers would have to either change the name of their product - a move likely to cause confusion among shoppers - or produce an un-British style of yogurt unlikely to appeal to us. "Whichever way you look at it, it's bad news for Britain," says Dr Komorowski.
Graham Keating, the managing director of the Somerset-based company Yeo Valley Organic, is also highly critical of the proposals. Like Komorowski, he believes that producing yogurts to Brussels's specifications would be a backward move because, he says, Britain already makes yogurt to a higher standard than the proposed EC model. "The EC initiative is bizarre - rather like the straight banana story - but, unfortunately, much more likely to become law."
Yeo Valley sent us a trial batch of natural, unsweetened yogurt made to the proposed European standard. To see how it performed, we sneaked this "Eurocrat" yogurt into a blind tasting of top-selling brands. In addition to the popular "bio" and "low-fat" yogurts, our line-up included a goat's milk one and a dairy-free soya substitute. With labels hidden from view, would Brussels triumph over our long-established favourites? All the samples were marked out of five.
The results of the tasting show a pronounced preference for milder-flavoured yogurts with a creamy consistency. The "Eurocrat", which could be the benchmark for all yogurts in the future, scored low marks for its acidic taste and runny texture. Judging by the styles that performed best in the tasting, we do like our yogurts thick and mild.
Although the official line is that the proposals exist "only in draft form", a Brussels clampdown on this most blameless of foods could be law in 12 months. Spooning yogurt on to fruit and cereal could soon become a sour and messy business.
Taste trials
Total Authentic Greek yogurt - 3.7
Judging by the tasters' preference for this over all the others, as a nation we like our yogurts thick and creamy. Comments included "thick and luxurious", "lovely texture" and "best of the lot". "A classic Greek yogurt", said one taster.
Yeo Valley organic fat-free natural bio live yogurt - 3.5
Although this yogurt is fat-free, the panel praised its creamy consistency, smooth texture and nicely tart edge. One or two tasters found it a little bland.
Waitrose natural low fat live yogurt - 3.2
"Fresh and sour taste - just what a yogurt should be" and "slightly sharp - feels as if it's doing some good" were some of the comments. Others were less convinced by the "bitter edge".
Onken natural biopot stirred yogurt - 2.7
Tasters remarked on the yogurt's mild flavour, good texture and creaminess. Its critics found it a little bland.
St Helen's farm bio goat's milk yogurt - 1.9
Howls of "Billy the goat" greeted the first spoonful of this yogurt, which divided the tasters into two opposing camps. "Sweet, smooth and delicious" was one verdict, "cloying" and "too strong" was another. "An acquired taste - like goat's cheese," said one taster, sagely.
Rachel's organic bio live natural yogurt - 1.8
"Watery and tasteless - it would need a lot of honey to give any pleasure" was one response. The texture was also described as "lumpy", "separated" and "gelatinous". One lone voice praised its "mild, fresh taste".
Eurocrat yogurt (euro standard yogurt) - 1.7
"Too runny", "sloppy" and "unpleasantly watery" were common responses. The taste was pronounced "acidic and bitter" and "almost salty". But, although the texture was widely panned, the yogurt did find favour with two tasters.
Provamel organic soya dairy-free (yogurt alternative) - 0.8
"Wallpaper paste", "ground-up car handles mixed with milk" and "spectacularly artificial" were some of the verdicts. The beige colour was also criticised. "All right if you don't think you're eating yogurt" was one conclusion.
