Michal Menert Releases 'Space Jazz' LP, His Most Creative Endeavor Yet
Michal Menert's latest LP, 'Space Jazz,' was spawned in a pretty interesting way. The 15 track production stays true to Menert's feel good vibes with uniquely crafted electro-soul beats that are intertwined with live instrumentation, tastes of hip-hop, and a very distinct element of jazz that contributes to the album's title. "It started with a tour named after a strain of marijuana named after the genre I told people I played when I sat next to them on planes."
'Space Jazz' is also a release that features a whole host of other artists, from Break Science's Borham Lee, to Manic Focus, Jubee, Big Gigantic's Dominic Lalli, and Snug Harbor's Will Glazier, just to name a few. When it comes to collaborating, Menert really appreciates "the element of unknown," and "the ability for something randomly brilliant to happen."
"There's an energy that each person brings to the music, unique like a fingerprint. You can get either a wider perspective or more focused message depending on the chemistry."
Such is evident when listening to this album, as you are able to pick up on sounds that are classic to Menert's style while also appreciating the creative differences of every single track.
Menert also makes it a point to give credit where credit is due in all aspects of this album's creation, noting that his work with Schollaships in the Spacement is showcased on this album, hence the "presented in Schollaphonic Sound" band on the cover, as a tribute to the engineering side of the work that gives a bigger sound to the production.
The beauty of art is found in its ability to capture an artist's creative growth with every piece produced. 'Space Jazz' is the "first time in a while" Menert focused on mixing with more natural sounds, especially when it came to the drums.
"I didn't want to smash them and make them sound like a drum machine; I wanted them to sit in the mix like a jazz fusion album, or a funk album. All those little details that I started concentrating on since my last work attribute to this album having layers you can peel back, sonically."
With such a consciously constructed LP, Menert once again proves his dexterity as an artist fully capable of harmoniously integrating electro and organic instrumentation to celebrate a genre that can't quite be defined as just one sound. 'Space Jazz' is a production that seamlessly incorporates all sorts of influences from start to finish, with an overall soundscape that is out of this world.

text: What can we say about grubworms? They say the way to recognize grubworm damage is to pull up on the grass and if it lifts up like a piece of carpet, then the brown spot is caused by grubs. This is because they have eaten the roots so there is nothing to hold the grass down. I have seen this and it seems like that is a problem worth doing something about. Of course there are all kinds of chemicals that people use for this. There are two organic remedies I know of - milky spore disease and beneficial nematodes. The milky spore seems to be a great solution - BUT - they say it does not work on the specific species of bug we have in Oklahoma. The grubs are from June bugs and related types of bugs. I guess it could be useful to sort out those species. The beneficial nematodes may be not quite as reliable of a treatment, I don't know. But there are other problems with them. Such as you can't buy them anywhere around here - you have to order them. And they have a shelf life. And they are expensive. And there are all different kinds and it may take some research to find out what kinds would be most effective. And they don't persist in the soil from year to year, whereas the milky spore supposedly lasts a few years (or longer?) Besides the damage that the grubs do there is the damage done by critters digging for the grubs. Not sure what all animals do this, but I have seen the damage done by armadillos - in residential neighborhoods bordering on woods. Most books say that you don't really have a problem unless you find X amount of grubs per square foot. (easy to dig out some sod and poke around and see them) So I guess it is normal to have some grubs and if there aren't many they won't do enough damage to notice. Not sure how many there needs to be before the critters start digging, so that may be a totally separate problem. I have read that one defense against grubs is to just have a healthy lawn, so that the grass can withstand having its roots nibbled on a bit. It makes sense that the weaker and thinner the grass, the more it will be harmed by having grubs eating the roots. And this is a seasonal thing. They go deeper in the soil in the winter and eventually fly away, so at least the grass gets to recover. Anyway, thats about all I know on the subject. Any comments on the above could be useful. Are there other remedies? Preventions? Experiences with nematodes? Milky Spore? What I am really interested in is why the grubs are more prevalent in one lawn than another. What conditons are they looking for? I think I read somewhere that they like lots of organic matter in the soil. So I hope that improving the soil organically is not going to make the grub problem worse. But it seems like I have seen this mainly in really poor lawns. What I would like to believe is that just developing a really healthy lawn will prevent the problem, but I don't know. If anyone knows just what species we are talking about, that would be useful, especially why are they different in Oklahoma? Grub talk anyone?

Broadcom Corp. has introduced a new chipset for IP telephones that incorporates 802.11g Wi-Fi technology.
Broadcom said phones based on the chipset will give consumers a cordless phone replacement that can also support data applications such as Web browsing, e-mail and instant messaging.
The company's new Voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) silicon reduced the "major chip count" from four to two chips, and adds features such as quality of service and security.
The chipset consists of the Broadcom BCM1160 mobile VoIP processor and BCM4318 AirForce One 54g chip. The processor also uses Broadcom's xChange VoIP software for toll-quality voice applications. The chipset is also present in the BCM91160 Wi-Fi VoIP phone reference design for OEM partners.
Broadcom did not disclose chipset pricing.

Seems like the pro forum might be a cool place for those of us brewing professionally to swap growlers with each other or maybe 22oz flip-tops. Any interest?
Man, wish we could fill growlers... :(
This place just opened up here in Eugene...http://thegrowlernation.com/ . There are getting to be a few of them around the state.
These don't have to be 'official' fills. As long as the container has the government alcohol warning and we're not selling them to each other, we're just sending out samples for judge evaluation.
i misunderstood. Thought it was swapping growlers with logos. I can ship 22 oz filled bottles no problem, next time I fill I'll keep it in mind.

I recently received the following question on this post. As I was replying I thought it would be a good idea to answer it in a separate post.
Anonymous said...
Isn't it considered immodest wearing pants since the bible says that a woman should not wear mens garment and the other way round? I'm sorry for false English!
Dear Anonymous,
Modesty has different meanings to different people/religions. This blog is simply a place where I can share my ideas and outfits that I feel are modest to my standards. Many people choose to cover their cleavage and upper legs, others choose to cover their entire bodies from head to toe. Some women (like you suggested) choose to only wear skirts or dresses, instead of pants. Women of my faith are free to dress in pants if they choose, however it is not recommended to wear pants to church meetings. You won't see me wearing short skirts/dresses/shorts, tank tops, backless shirts, or anything showing cleavage in any of my outfit posts (or at anytime for that matter).
Most importantly, I think modesty is about showing respect for yourself and the body you were blessed with by your Heavenly Father. It is important for women to be seen for the beautiful person they are on the inside. When women dress immodestly it can sometimes be hard for others to see past their physical attributes. This is my personal opinion and I have nothing against those who choose to dress in revealing clothing, I just choose not to dress in that fashion!
One of the things I love most about living on this Earth is the fact that everyone is different. We all have varying opinions, religions, and personalities. I am also so grateful that we have the freedom to express our beliefs and ideas. So, thank you for allowing me the chance to explain more about what modesty means to me and why I choose to live it!
I want to make it clear that I am not here to preach or push my religion on anyone. Also, feel free to leave comments or questions as yourself, instead of leaving an anonymous comment. I don't get easily offended and there will be no judgement from me. I want everyone to feel comfortable asking questions and I will do my best to answer them honestly!

When talking about managing one's money, sales expert Grant Cardone likes to quote another well-known entrepreneur, Mark Cuban. 'Diversification is for idiots'.
But what does that mean? As Cardone puts it, you can never attain true financial wealth by diversifying your investments.

Yes, you need to depend on more than one flow of income, he says. But when you invest, make sure its in a controlled number of places that you have intimate knowledge of.
"You want to find one or two spaces you completely understand, that can't be destroyed, and go all in," Cardone says. "That's how people get rich. People don't get rich by tip-toeing in with R1 000 investments all over the place."

Klunkerz Trailer (2006)
"In the late 1960s through the 1970s a group of cyclists in Northern California's Marin County turned the bicycle world upside-down by taking their adv" 07 October 2006 83 mins
Long before the mountain bike entered our global consciousness, the cycling enthusiasts of Northern California's Marin County rode modified pre-WWII bicycles down the slopes of Mount Tamalpais. They developed their bikes through rigorous field-testing, often risking life and limb to do so. Some of these cyclists were Category-1 road racers looking for a new way to train during the off-season. Others were simply fun-loving hippies looking for a new way to commune with nature. Their early bikes were scavenged from dumpsters and junkyards. It was from these humble beginnings that a multi-billion dollar industry, a form of recreation for the masses, and an Olympic event, were born. These hefty steeds were affectionately known as Klunkerz.

Tags: mobile phone security, mobile security, mobile spam, smartphone
Smartphones are picking up popularity. You can now access email, social media, and other things from a device that fits in your pocket (most of the time). And, although we hear about breaches and security flaws in the news, it seems like a lot of us don't think it applies to our mobile device. Here are some of the most common mobile security myths.
- "Antivirus protection isn't worth it for a smartphone." Just because this device fits in the palm of your hand doesn't mean it's not worthy of as much protection as your computer. It should have comprehensive security that includes, antivirus, anti-malware and anti-spyware. Think of how often and indiscriminately you use that little thing, even while you're in between bench press sets or stuck in line somewhere. The more you use it, the more important protecting the information on it becomes.
- "If I lose my phone I'll just call it to find it." A better way to locate it is to use an app with global positioning system (GPS), like McAfee® Mobile Security. With GPS, you can see the location of your device on a map, much easier than trying to hear your ringtone.
- "Smartphones don't get phishing scams." Actually, phishing scams can occur via text (also known as SMiShing ) and social media apps. Plus, the mobile device's smaller screen makes it harder to detect suspicious links.
- "Apps for my phone are safe if they're from trusted brands." Fraudsters can easily make a malicious app look safe, and can even find its way into a reputable app store. McAfee Labs™ found that over 80% of Android apps track you and collect your personal information. Apps are also the main way that malware can be downloaded to your smartphone or tablet.
- "As long as my phone has PIN protection, it's fine to have apps automatically log into my accounts." A PIN is incomplete protection because hackers may guess the PIN code or use software to nail the four-digit sequence. You'd be surprised how many people's PINs are 1234 or 2222. Even if you have a longer PIN or passcode on your device, it's good practice to not have your apps automatically log you in, even though this may be convenient. You don't want something to be able to easily access your bank accounts or post random messages on your social accounts.
- "SMS" adds protection. The short message service does not provide protection or monitoring of any kind. This means that text messaging is not secure and in fact, it's often subject to spam.
Keep your mobile device safe with McAfee® Mobile Security, available on both Android and Apple devices. The Android version includes antivirus and anti-malware software, an app manager, anti-theft features, and web protection. The Apple version includes Secure Vault to protect your pictures and videos from prying eyes.

The Russian city mourning the loss of its ice hockey team in a plane disaster will pay its last respects with a memorial ceremony at the team's stadium, the regional governor said Friday.
An ageing Yak-42 plane carrying three-time Russian champions Lokomotiv Yaroslavl -- a popular team with several ex-NHL stars on its roster -- crashed on Wednesday near Yaroslavl, 300 kilometres (185 miles) northeast of Moscow.
The public are invited to pay their last respects in the team's home arena on Saturday, the governor of the Yaroslavl region, Sergei Vakhrukov, told journalists, with fans expected to travel from other Russian regions.
"Lots of neighbours will come to us," he said.
Fans, many wearing team scarves, have piled flowers and lit candles outside the team's Arena-2000 home stadium in a spontaneous outpouring of grief following the crash.
The accident, which killed 43, was the worst sporting disaster in the country's recent memory, claiming the lives of several international players who played in the National Hockey League and previously won Olympic medals.
The crash's two survivors -- player Alexander Galimov and crew member Alexander Sizov -- are being treated in Moscow.
Galimov was still alive on Friday morning, Vakhrukov confirmed, calling him by his nickname Sasha, with hopes that he would survive despite suffering serious burns.
"We believe that Sasha has a chance of making it," he said.
The plane's black boxes have been found, Vakhrukov added.
"The black boxes were pulled out yesterday. They are in a normal state," told journalists, adding that they had been sent to Moscow for deciphering.
The interstate aviation committee that investigates air accidents confirmed in a statement on Friday that it had been able to open the black boxes and found the recording of the fatal flight.
Officials have so far blamed the tragedy on pilot error and aircraft malfunction -- the usual suspects in past tragedies -- and President Dmitry Medvedev has demanded that aviation companies improve their safety standards.

Dramatic Recovery from Diabetes
By Joel Fuhrman, M.D. www.drfuhrman.com
Although Strictly Following The Recommendations Of His Physicians, Jim Kenny's Health Was Failing.
When Jim Kenny walked into my office for the first time, he weighed 268 pounds and was suffering complications from poorly controlled diabetes. I wasn't the first physician he had seen. He was referred to my office by his nephrologist (kidney specialist) at St. Barnabus Hospital in Livingston, New Jersey. He had been referred to the nephrologist by his endocrinologist (diabetic specialist) from Harvard's renowned Joslin Diabetes Center because of kidney damage from poorly controlled diabetes (very high glucose readings),in spite of the use of maximum doses of insulin and oral medications.
When I first saw Jim, he was taking a total of 175 units of long- and short-acting insulin each day, and he already had suffered from severe complications of type 2 diabetes, including two heart attacks and Charcot (destructive inflammation) joint damage in his right ankle.
In spite of this huge dose of insulin and six other medications, Jim's glucose readings averaged between 350-400, even though he was following the precise dietary recommendations of a dietician who worked in the office of his endocrinologist.
A Better Approach
After his initial visit with me, Jim began following my nutritional program for diabetics. I initially reduced his insulin dose to 130 units per day, and continued to decrease it gradually over the next few days. After five days, his glucose readings were running between 80 and 120, and he had lost ten pounds. At this point, I put him on 45 units of Lantus insulin at bedtime and 6 units of Humalog regular insulin before each meal, for a total of 63 units per day.
By the time Jim returned for his two-week visit, he had lost sixteen pounds. We were able to discontinue some of his blood pressure medications and reduce his daily insulin intake to a total of 58 units per day.
One-Month Follow-Up
After one month on the program, we were able to discontinue all of Jim's insulin intake and start him on Glucophage (one of the safer oral medications). He lost twenty-five pounds in the first five weeks, and his blood glucose readings were well controlled without insulin. His blood pressure also came down to normal, and he no longer needed any blood pressure medications.
An evaluation of Jim's blood test results revealed an elevated homocysteine level. With the appropriate supplementation with a specific form of folate (methyl tetrahydrofolate) that Jim required, his homocysteine returned to normal range.
No More Medication
Five months after beginning the program, Jim was off all medications for diabetes, he no longer had high cholesterol or high blood pressure, and he was more than sixty pounds lighter. His kidney insufficiency had normalized, as well.
Jim's case illustrates how powerful my high-nutrient approach to eating is when it comes to reversing diabetes. It also illustrates the sad fact that the standard dietary advice given to diabetics by conventional physicians and dieticians is not merely insufficient; it is dangerous. Jim Kenny would likely be dead by now had his nephrologist not referred him to me for an effective dietary approach.
A Much-Needed Message
As the success of my approach has become more widely known, more and more physicians have contacted me and expressed support and enthusiasm for my Eat To Live message. Unfortunately, many also say, "Don't tell anyone I support you 100 percent. I don't want to be ostracized by fellow physicians."
I invite other physicians to come to my office and observe firsthand the spectacular results. Those who have taken me up on my offer often comment that the experience was more fruitful than anything they did in their residency training.
The human body has marvelous healing capabilities. We simply have to establish the optimal nutritional environment for healing and let the body do its work.

Also probably means if, when married to the other guy, if he doesn't want a baby and she does, she'll go sleep with the first guy who will say he wants kids. :P Sorry, OP, but Foe is right. You'll find someone who will love you for you and will stick with you.

But I don't think op is bisexual, and will probably be only attracted to woman. Females make up 49% of the population, so 6,000,000,000/100=60,000,000X49=2,940,000,000-1=2,939,999,999 females left in the world.

Identify Your Best Customers To Attract Even More
This guest post is brought to you by Outright, the simplest way to manage your small business finances. Sign up today, integrate your small business financial accounts and get back to doing what you love best – running your business!
Are all your customers equal? Sure, each person who comes through your doors (virtual or not) is special in some way. However, there are definitely some customers who make a much bigger impact on your business – either through your wallet or the joy you experience working with them.
You see them day in and day out buying stuff and even talking to you on social media or through email. Some of them are so close to you they're more friends than anything. You know they'll be around for a long time and want to reward them for their dedication.
This is precisely why you need the Best Customer Report provided at Outright. Outright is a bookkeeping app for small business owners. It tracks your income and expenses, and slices and dices that information into handy reports – like the Best Customer Report. This particular report helps you figure out which of your customers have been around the longest and who's given you the most business over a certain period of time. From there, you can…
1. Nurture the Relationship
After you know who's your best customer, you'll want to nurture this relationship even more. While you don't want to seem like you're "sucking up" by any means, you want the customer to feel wanted and special. They've been providing you with business and there's nothing wrong with pointing out how awesome you think they are.
Simply acknowledging them can go a long way. However, you may want to go a little further. One way is to give them a break on future orders – perhaps you can provide a "top customer discount" or send them coupons in an email. Not only does this give them incentive to buy more stuff it will increase customer loyalty and also minimize the chance that they leave if something goes wrong.
2. Figure Out Their Type
Why does that particular customer keep coming back to buy more and more each month from you? What traits do they possess that may be in other customers, so you can expand your market and business? Is there a niche there you can exploit for more sales?
Starting with your Best Customer report you can find commonalities. Are your best customers in a certain geographic area? Are they a certain age? Do they all love Canadian football? You can then use that information to try and figure out if others like that customer will also flock to your store, potentially giving you even more long term customers.
3. Improve Products and Services
Best Customer Reports can provide information to you in all aspects of your business. For example, you may have long wondered what people tend to flock to in your company – what are people buying from you the most?
After you figure out your best customers, you can go over their history and find this very info out quickly. Using this you can accentuate the very products and services you provide to customers that you know sell well. If you know your best customers tend to hire you for graphic design over website creation, for example, you can put more emphasis on the graphic design portion of your business to bring in more clients. And since Outright integrates with your eBay, Etsy, Amazon and other marketplace accounts it can also quickly show you which products your best customers consistently buy.
Do you know your top 3 best customers? If so, what do they all have in common?

Back To Top
Karaoke Party is a slot that will be familiar to anyone who's ever played at a mobile casino. The slot comes on a 5×3 reel slot, with nine betlines and a free spins mode.
Nine betlines is actually a reasonably low number for a slot of its type, but with an RTP of around 96.2%, it would seem that the slot manages to make up for its more infrequent wins with larger payouts. These large payouts are possible due to a range of additional multiplier features, which we'll get to later in the review.
Free Spins Bonus Feature
The free spins mode of the slot is triggered by spinning three scatter symbols, which then gives players 15 free spins. The free spins bonus round comes with two additional features which makes it much more appealing than many other free spins rounds.
Firstly, every single win during the free spins round comes with a 3x multiplier. Secondly, free spins are re-triggerable at least once during the bonus, so you can get 30 free spins in total if you manage to spin another set of three scatter symbols.
Karaoke Party manages to weaken its free spins bonus round slightly, as wins during the free spins round are much less frequent than other slots due to the low betline number. Of course, the increased multiplier makes the wins you do land much more rewarding, but it's hard to not feel frustrated during your playtime.
Aside from a free spins mode, Karaoke Party is rather scant when it comes to any additional features. The most notable additional feature is the wild multipliers. Any wild symbols add a 2x multiplier to any winning lines they are involved in.
It's a simple feature, but given that wild symbols are pretty frequent during the base game — a nice additional boost of cash every time you manage a successful win with them.
Microgaming perfected their slot games many years ago through both their expertise and impressive Quickfire software. That means that straight out of the box, Karaoke Party works perfectly across its desktop, mobile and tablet versions. There's no slowdown or glitches and the simple visuals means it doesn't tax even lower spec devices.
We did experience one issue during our play, where the reels continued spinning for over a minute before coming to a rest. But this issue was with the casino's servers and wasn't attributed to Karaoke Party itself.
Karaoke Party is a tough one for us to judge, but ultimately, we'll have to be harsh. On the face of it, Karaoke Party is an enjoyable and well-made slot. Its theme is original and the bright colours and catchy sound effects make it easy on the eyes and ears.
But at the heart of it, Karaoke Party can't hide behind its new coat of paint. Karaoke Party comes with a free spins round and that's about it. It's light on features and doesn't have the originality that makes it stand out from any of the hundreds of other slots like it that released this year alone, even among other Microgaming creations.
If you want a traditional slot experience, with the chance of some healthy multipliers and a nice look, then Karaoke Party will be a nice game to play some spins. But if you're looking for the next big thing, then Karaoke Party is one to avoid. Either way, you can play it now over at Leo Vegas Casino, along with the rest of the mostly excellent Microgaming games library.
play karaoke party and receive a brilliant welcome bonus at leo vegas!

The Norwalk and Hawaii viruses are antigenically distinct members of the family Caliciviridae and are considered to be important etiologic agents of epidemic gastroenteritis, with most studies focusing on the role of Norwalk virus. To further investigate the importance of Hawaii virus, Hawaii virus-like particles (VLPs) were produced by expression of its capsid protein in the baculovirus system and these VLPs were used as the antigen in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that was efficient in the detection of a serologic response to Hawaii virus. The ready availability of Hawaii VLPs should enable larger-scale epidemiological studies to further elucidate the importance of this agent.

Golfer Christy O'Connor Jnr 'reunited with son Darren', funeral told
Irish golfer Christy O'Connor Junior has been reunited with his son, as he was remembered at his funeral as one in a million.
About 2,000 mourners packed Galway Cathedral to hear fond memories of the sporting icon's character, generosity and lust for life.
The 67-year-old, best remembered for playing a lead role in Europe's Ryder Cup win in 1989, had been on holiday in Tenerife when he died in his sleep on January 6.
The service was led by Father Michael Kelly, a close family friend, who noted the flood of tributes when the news broke and recalled the golfer's faith, despite his son Darren's untimely death in a road accident in 1998, aged 17.
"He spoke openly and confidently of his conviction that he would meet Darren again - not quite so soon, I imagine," he said.
"He prayed to him and for him and was convinced that Darren came to his assistance more than once."
Among the items presented at the service were the Ryder Cup, marking O'Connor's triumph at The Belfry in 1989 when he hit one of the most famous shots in golfing history to help Europe retain golf's biggest prize.
Tales of the Irishman's stunning two iron to within feet of the 18th hole featured throughout the service.
Team captain Paul McGinley, who was joined by Sam Torrance, carried the gold trophy along with the European flag to a table on the altar where they sat overlooking O'Connor Jnr's coffin.
"I think it's a sad day for Ireland," McGinley said. "He was a character, much loved, and I'll miss the fun.
"He was a big part of Ryder Cup history and folklore as we know. It's nice to be able to bring it here.
"He showed me how to have fun, that's the thing I'll remember most about Christy."
Lifelong friends of O'Connor Jnr's, golfer Eamonn Darcy and former mayor of Galway John Mulholland gave personal reflections on his life ahead of the service.
"There's one thing that I can tell you - when you were in his company there was never a dull moment. There was always something happening," he said.
Darcy recalled O'Connor Jnr's success and how he used it for charity fundraising.
"That two iron it keeps coming up," he said. "I would say he auctioned that two iron at least 40 times, and it was always the original."
The funeral was described in the Mass booklet as a celebration of O'Connor Jnr's life and he was variously described as a storyteller, singer, a musician who played the spoons and the accordion, a grafter and a family man proud of his roots.
"For Christy the days were too short and the nights not long enough," Darcy said.
Darcy recalled when the pair had been in South Africa and after being invited to hold a private golf clinic by an Italian wine merchant they sampled the wares.
Mourners heard how Darcy was feeling the effects and shanked two shots off the tee, narrowly avoiding the heads of some invited guests.
Torn between laughter and tears, Darcy added: "Christy said 'I'm sure some of you have been afflicted by these shots Eamonn has just played. Now he's going to show you how to cure it."
Mr Mulholland spoke about the man behind the two iron.
"He was positive always to the point of exaggeration. He talked big but he backed it up by making it happen. He walked the walk," he said.
O'Connor Jnr is survived by his wife Ann, son Nigel and daughter Ann.
At the end of the service the children thanked those who had helped with the funeral, including their father's speedy repatriation to Ireland.
"Perhaps your greatest achievement was that you were a wonderful husband, a wonderful dad, an adored papa and a friend to all when anyone needed you," Ann said.
Among other well know figures at the funeral were Irish President Michael D Higgins, businessman Denis O'Brien, racehorse trainer Mouse Morris, golfer Des Smyth and former rugby international Keith Wood.
Former taoiseach Brian Cowen spoke to O'Connor Jnr in the days before his death.
"I think a lot of people throughout the country recognise the ambassadorial role he played for the country during his career - always light-hearted, always great company," Mr Cowen said.
In his homily, Fr Kelly recalled the glowing tributes over the last week and said it sounded like a cause for canonisation.
"His leaving has left our world a poorer place. He was one in a million," Fr Kelly said.
O'Connor Jnr was buried privately in Rahoon cemetery on the outskirts of Galway, the city of which he had the freedom.

Optimistic Fabregas talks about his injury to Spanish TV
Spanish TV caught up with Cesc Fabregas after the Arsenal midfielder travelled to Barcelona to consult specialist doctor Ramon Cugat about his injury he picked up in Sunday's game with Liverpool.
Fabregas said: "After consulting with the best doctor possible, we've decided not to operate. If it would have been necessary it would have been the first thing I would have done, but the doctor recommended to me not to do it because I'm young and the meniscus is not damaged."
The Arsenal captain then spoke about his recovery. "My intention is to return as soon as possible to help my team-mates… It's the first serious injury that I've had in my career. Everybody gets injured and now it's my turn. I will have to wait, undertake my recovery and return as soon as possible."
Fabregas' interview with Spanish TV and footage of the midfielder moving around on crutches can be seen here.

The recent Memorandum of Understanding on Judicial Nominations signed by seven Republican senators and seven Democrats for the first time in our history formally recognizes the principle–if only temporarily–that a minority of senators can block a presidential appointee to the federal bench whom a majority would vote to confirm. As such, the Memorandum deals a significant blow to the president's constitutional appointment power.
The Democrats in the Congress are now trying for more. Democratic party chairman Howard Dean, echoed by a phalanx of Democratic senators and representatives, including Harry Reid, Charles Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi, are arguing that the president has an obligation to "consult" with Senate Democrats prior to making judicial nominations, in particular for the Supreme Court. Schumer has said that the MOU is a warning to the President not to "nominate someone that's way out of the [mainstream] and consult with Congress." Indeed, the MOU itself advances the argument that the word "advice" in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution means that the president should "consult with members of the Senate, both Democratic and Republican, prior to submitting a judicial nomination to the Senate for consideration."
This is part of a long-running gambit by the Democratic party, as the party out of power in both political branches of government, to seize for itself some role in the appointment process not given to it by the voters. Several years ago, before his party hit upon filibusters as a way to wrest some control over appointments from the president and the Senate majority, Sen. Ted Kennedy and other Democrats made the same argument in a series of public statements and letters to President Bush. In the pages of the Washington Post, for example, Senator Kennedy urged President Bush to engage in "genuine consultation with the Senate" over Supreme Court appointments in order to avoid a confirmation fight and to respect what Kennedy asserted was "the Framers' careful decision to have the Senate share the appointment power."
While the idea is superficially appealing–after all, who could really oppose a little bipartisan consultation?–it is both incorrect as a matter of constitutional theory, and unworkable in practice.
First, let's be clear about what the Senators are really proposing. They are not proposing anything that resembles what ordinary people would recognize as "consultation." Instead, in the world of judicial nominations, "consultation" is Senate-speak for "advance veto." Senators routinely complain about a lack of "consultation" not because they were not consulted but because, after extensive consultation, they did not get what they wanted. What the Senators are really asking is that the president share with them in advance the names of individuals he is considering for nomination to the Supreme Court and then eliminate any candidate to which they object.
Thus, Senator Schumer in a letter to the president concluded by saying that he wants "the opportunity to evaluate any candidates you are considering and provide input before any nomination is made." And Senator Leahy admitted in his letter that his goal is "to help select a nominee."
This is plainly not what the Framers of the Constitution had in mind. The records of the constitutional convention indicate that the original proposal in the Virginia Plan was to have Congress as a whole appoint judges. On James Madison's suggestion, this was amended to provide for appointment by the Senate as the smaller, more exclusive body. However, the framers had serious concerns with even this form of legislative nomination. This concern derived from their belief that legislative appointments tended to be driven more by logrolling, petty politics, local and regional considerations, and factional struggles than by higher-minded consideration of the merits of particular candidates.
The final compromise–nomination by the president with confirmation by the Senate–was based on a proposal by Alexander Hamilton. He explained it in the Federalist Papers as deriving principally from the view that an individual is more likely than a collective body to make choices based on merit: "one man of discernment is better fitted to analyze and estimate the peculiar qualities adopted to particular offices than a body of men." Hamilton further explained that the Framers chose to vest the president with the sole power of nomination in order to serve another critical objective related to ensuring quality appointments that could not be served by giving legislators a role: accountability. According to Hamilton, the president would bear "sole and undivided responsibility" for making the selections, so that "[t]he blame of a bad nomination would fall upon [him] singly and absolutely."
The resulting text of the Appointments Clause envisions no role for the Senate, still less for individual senators, in the nomination process. It says that "[t]he President . . . shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint" Supreme Court justices. The Constitution could not be plainer that it is the president's responsibility alone to nominate. The Senate's role is limited to the process of appointment, by which the president's nominee actually becomes vested with the powers of office. This understanding is confirmed by the historical practice in the Founders' generation: On the unanimous advice of Madison, Jefferson, and Jay, President Washington, who sat through the entire constitutional convention, never consulted with the Senate prior to making nominations.
The wisdom of the Framers' design has been borne out through the generations. While presidents, including President Bush, virtually always welcome advice and suggestions from Senators prior to nomination, "genuine consultation" of the type being pushed on President Bush by Howard Dean and Senators Reid, Leahy, Schumer, and Kennedy would be totally unworkable. Providing names and receiving feedback would slow the nomination process to a crawl and allow the Senators to dictate its timing. Names shared by the White House would immediately be passed to left-wing interest groups and sympathetic journalists, and potential nominees deemed undesirable would be preemptively attacked in an effort to frighten off the putative nominee and/or the president and his advisers if the president were not cowed by the Senators' private predictions of trouble.
Moreover, given the vast gulf that exists between the president and these senators ideologically, it is virtually certain that they would never bless a nominee that shared the president's vision of quality judging. The process of "consultation" would thus become a mere setup for failure and a powerful weapon for the president's most committed senatorial adversaries in the blame game they would play when the subsequent confirmation fight got ugly.
President Clinton's consultations with Senator Hatch, which the Democrats now cite as a model and a precedent for what they propose, actually provides an instructive counterpoint. Hatch did not demand to know whom the president was considering in advance; he merely suggested some names to Clinton. Moreover, Hatch suggested the names of the most eminent liberal judges then sitting on the federal appellate bench, even though he knew to a certainty that they held views contrary to his own on issues as fundamental as Roe v. Wade. It is no wonder that President Clinton found them acceptable.
By contrast, the Democratic senators are now demanding that Bush "share" the appointment power with them, advise them of his choices in advance, and let them "help select" the next justice. In doing that, there can be no doubt that they would show none of the open-mindedness that Senator Hatch displayed in recommending Justice Ginsburg and Justice Breyer. Far from supporting candidates skeptical of the Supreme Court's abortion jurisprudence, Democratic senators have vowed to use every means at their disposal to block any Bush nominee who does not violate his or her ethical obligations by pledging fealty to Roe in advance of confirmation. And the Democrats' relentless campaign over the past two years to define some of the country's highest quality, mainstream judicial conservatives as unacceptable "right-wing ideologues" shows just how ideological they are prepared to be in exercising any power they are given in the process of judicial appointment.
In short, the problem is not one of process, it's one of substance. Liberal Democratic senators want liberal Supreme Court justices, and a conservative Republican president wants conservative justices. This circle just can't be squared, and the proposals for "genuine consultation" should be seen for what they are: a tactic for making war over an eventual nomination, not a strategy for securing peace. This particular conflict will have to be worked out according to the durable process laid out in the Constitution itself and used since the beginning of the republic. The president alone will choose the nominee, and the Senate will either give or withhold its consent.

John from Arizona writes,
Can I use Adonis 2F as a foliar spray for Pinyon Needle Scale on Pinion Pine trees?
I would prefer to spray direct on the needles vs. soil/bark drench. I think it will be much faster uptake.
The idea in an Adonis 2F Insecticide/Termiticide drench application is for the tree to take up the active ingredient and trans locate it through tree. While Adonis is moving through the tree you can apply a foliar spray like Talstar P.

Wow, everyone smells great today!
I'm sharing the house with Tinks (who is wearing one of my absolute favorites!), in Caron Alpona, thanks to Kyra. It's unlike any other Caron I've tried -- I love many of the classic Carons, and I love Alpona, too.
I think you can tell if you try really hard and sniff carefully that it's a Caron, but it's... haunting, in a good, friendly way.
Notes (according to NowSmellThis) include: lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, rose, orange, jasmine, orchid, thyme, patchouli, myrrh, cedar, sandalwood, musk, and oakmoss.

I'm so freaking tired of people telling me how bad lil boys are. Everyone talks about how active and all over the place they are. So a very active child is suppose to make me not want one. What am I suppose to do now, magically make baby into a girl. I have wanted this little boy since forever n I don't get why people say things like they trying to talk me out of it. When I say I'm having a boy everyone always go "whew u gone have your hands full" I just wanna say have u met my two year old girl, plus I help raise my lil brother n all he wanted was video games, food, n to play outside. Even my dd2 speech therapist was like "boys r just a lot to handle". I don't get why everyone acts like this. When did having a son become too much. When I was growing up or well in my family were they r way more girls than boys (out of 22 grandkids only 7 are boys). Everyone wanted a boy. Boys were easier n you had less to worry about. Does anyone else get this, boys r bad stuff from people? To the ones who have boys do u feel this way too?

Get us out of here! Last British troops leave Afghanistan for good
BRITISH troops were all smiles as the final C-130 Hercules plane to leave Afghanistan prepared to take them home.
The last Brit base in the country has been handed over to Afghan forces after our combat operations ended.
Kandahar airfield was once home to tens of thousands of coalition soldiers.
But now the draw-down has reached its final stages.
Private Stacey Briggs was among those giving a thumbsup as they boarded the aircraft.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Columbia University has divested from private prison companies, where $10 million of their endowment was invested. The Students Against Mass Incarceration, a group of African-American students, are behind this huge stride to weaken private prison companies economically.
In February 2014, the Columbia Prison Divest campaign was launched with the support of alumni, faculty and West Harlem community members. On Monday, June 22, students saw a victory when Columbia's Board of Trustees announced they were not only divesting from the prison companies Corrections Corporation of America and G4S, but were also banning future investments in prison operations.
"Incarceration for non-violent crimes, long sentences for small quantities of illegal drugs and minimum sentencing policies have served to profit the prison industrial complex while disproportionately incarcerating African-Americans," student organizer Gabriela Catalina Pelsinger said in a release.
"The nation's largest private prison company, Corrections Corporation of America, has thrived financially from such policies," Pelsinger continued.
There has also long been disparities in prison sentences. Black men were sentenced 19.5 percent longer than white men for the same crimes between December 2007 and September 2011, according to a report by the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
In 2014, former U.S. Department of Justice Attorney General Eric Holder officially called for the U.S. Sentencing Commission to reduce sentencing for individuals who are serving time in federal prison for nonviolent drug offenses.

Dental implants, especially in the front of the mouth, need to be placed with a high degree of accuracy. When an implant is placed too shallow or worse yet too deep in the front of the mouth it creates a cosmetic failure– a long tooth and sometimes black triangles.
This is especially true on a patient who has what we call a "high smile line". This is when you smile and you show more of your gums than average. If she had a low smile line, then it wouldn't be noticeable when she smiles.
Here is an example of a patient that had an implant placed in about the year 2004. The dental implant was placed as an immediate tooth replacement which is a great option most of the time. Unfortunately the dental implant was placed too deeply into the bone. She hated this tooth.
When this happens you end up with a very long tooth. And worse yet, there is not a lot of good options that can be done to correct it once it is in this position. So in her case, I had to actually extract the implant and rebuild her jaw bone with 2 to 3 bone grafting and gum grafting procedures in order to put a new implant in a more shallow position. A block bone graft was needed also.
This is about as difficult as it gets. This case is difficult because I had to regrow bone vertically, closer to the edge of the natural teeth. Building bone vertically rather than horizontally is always more tricky and requires several very advanced techniques.
You can see in the picture with the white dental implant custom abutment, that the new implant is at a better level because the gumline is more even with the tooth next to it.
Unfortunately the deeply placed implant permanently stripped bone off of the teeth on the side, and that is not repairable.
Compare the levels of the two implants on the x-rays. One is much more shallow than the other. The shallow one was placed by myself and the deeper one was placed back in 2004 by another dentist.
Occasionally you can recover a deep, long tooth implant with a new custom abutment and gum graft. But I caution you that this is truly a very difficult procedure and should be completed by an expert in implant dentistry so that you can anticipate a result before you ever even get started.
Please feel free to ask questions or leave comments below.

Kalif Melanson
Kalif Melanson hasn't quite decided exactly what she wants to be when she grows up. Following a degree in economics, she went to work as an economist for the government. She left that position to become a Sales manager for Sears, followed by stints working as a Commodities Assistant, and a Hardware/Software Analyst for various companies. But it wasn't until she began taking groups of people to see the beautiful buildings and historical sights of the city, that Kalif finally found her niche.
Currently working as a local tour guide and concierge, Kalif has a particular interest in the history, architecture and culinary scene of Boston. She loves to dine out, and passionately believes that there is no such thing as too much garlic. Though she enjoys cooking from time to time, she would much rather leave that particular job to her husband, and will gratefully trade cleanup duties for his cooking any day.
Kalif has a restless soul. She has wandered the world, from the jungles of Belize, to the deserts of Jordan; from the hills of Turkey, to the bustling and colorful produce markets of Vietnam. When not abroad, the nomad in her keeps her walking the streets of Boston; giving directions, offering advice, or just plain people watching. What she loves best about guiding the North End Market Tours is the chance it provides her to combine her love of walking and talking, with her favorite part of the city: Boston's "Little Italy".

Discussion in 'Technical' started by KVRFiat, Aug 14, 2015.
1.9Ds have been fitted with mechanical fuel pumps. In case it interests people check > here. <
hi @KVRFiat any updates? Sorry to hear the light crept up again. Hope you find a solution soon.
Hi KVR Find a Bosch car service center at a nearby place and make a scan. Delete any errors found.Or replace the sensors as detected . this is what I did and replace the crank sensor and the inlet air tenperature sensor by the help of the bosch car service.
@R Rajesh .... Yours is a fiat Palio 1.9d?
It was before.Now it is 1.3 one in t nadu and other in jharkand.
What was the cost involved do you remember ?
Team, The fuel pump issue resolved Thanks to Rajesh!!.. as suggested I have ordered Diesel filter from 99rpm Rs 2825, and fixed myself, it took just 15 minutes. Initially took some time to start the car because the filter was empty. It started after 4 starts, I should have filled the filter with diesel before fixing. 800 kms completed, till now no issues, starting immediately no fuel pump light problems. Started filling Shell Diesel only.
There is one more issue which is bothering me. Looks like there is a leakage in Coolant Thermostat, sometimes engine temperature needle moves above the half mark, especially during slow movement in the Citi traffic and also while driving to higher elevation, with AC on in both the cases.
I checked in 99rpm site, it discontinued, where can I find the original Coolant Thermostat in India? I am searching in Bangalore shops till now not succeeded.
Great to know your problem got resolved! Previously it was not starting in one go?

Barnaul, Russian Federation (PressExposure) November 30, 2009 -- New grain processing techniques developed by Altay company PAVA allowed to introduce a truly innovative flour grade "Zhitnitsa" on the Russian and overseas markets. According to the company specialists, the product turns out a great benefit for overall economic performance of the milling production. Apart from extracting all valuable substances from wheat grain, it also leads to improving output rates.
"With "Zhitnitsa" flour incorporated in our regular manufactured assortment, we can achieve certain productivity gains", says Andrey Ananin, Managing Director of PAVA. "It appears that through deeper processing of wheat there is the potential to improve production efficiency from 76 to 78%".
Bakers and confectioners, co-operating with PAVA, have already noted the unprecedented growth of bakery yield provided by the new flour. Due to higher water absorption level and unique composition of "Zhitnitsa", the producers saw output rise up to 146% which reduced the cost of flour consumption per 1 tonne of finished goods.
PAVA, the company with strong positions in Russian milling sector and flour exports, is currently adding new businesses with the aim to build up a vertically integrated chain. Launch of "Zhitnitsa" is viewed as the first step to a more efficient, high-margin advanced wheat processing.

Still mopping up after tropical storm Irene, Vermont and other Northeastern states were placed under a flash flood watch yesterday as more rain headed their way.
The National Weather Service issued flash flood watches yesterday afternoon lasting through today for a vast swath of the Northeast, including flooded areas of Vermont and parts of New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut down through Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey.
"This is a potentially dangerous situation" the NWS said in a statement on its website. "Areas hard hit by Tropical Storm Irene last week will be susceptible to more flash flooding given the already wet and eroded ground. It will not take much rainfall to cause flash flooding in this situation."

Cyber Security - How Safe Are You?
by Heidi Mumford, PR & Marketing Manager, Turnstone Services
The perception of cyber security being an IT issue is as myopic as it is commercially disastrous; because it involves people, the complexity of an insider threat ranks as the highest risk of data loss. Indeed, personal IT may be more valuable to attack than Corporate IT resources.
Sensitive data may be susceptible to breaches that can cause untold damage to brand & reputation, with exposure of client information, interests, IP, trade secrets and serious if not catastrophic business interruption & ultimately severe economic fracture.
Throw into the mix the exponential threat of encrypting ransomware, having robust cybersecurity has never been as critical. Once the cyber criminals have stolen the files and encrypted them, no security software is able restore or return them. In such a scenario you would find yourself either paying the ransom (currently the default position of the FBI) with no guarantee of regaining the files, or simply cutting your losses, which in the case of valuable data is a tough call to make.
While anti-malware and anti-ransomware programmes are not the definitive panacea; what needs to evolve is better social education in order to stay ahead of the game. As laborious as it is, regular system backups should become standard as well as cloud storage with a high level encryption being an option.
In the latter years companies are beginning to address the issues that cyber security raises and are taking logical steps toward protecting their systems. The key protocols being to prevent and defend; protecting data whilst mitigating risk is key to managing organisation's privacy and ensuring the security of confidential client information. By employing prudent measures & fostering the right relationships, organisations can increase their security and minimise risk exposure organically.
Increasing Awareness
Sadly & somewhat unsurprisingly the insider threat arises from employees & partners who've become compromised.
Whilst most incidents are not maliciously motivated, they nevertheless arise from people's fallibility and misinformation. A somewhat alarming statistic is that 60% of people finding a USB stick will put it into their PC.
Targeted attacks are a different ball game completely with criminals leading industrialised attack methods, hoodwinking traditional information security. A game changer indeed, with industries in the position of having to raise their game, significantly. The number one cause of supply chain failure is IT/telecom outage, with cyber-attack at number 4.
RISK Assessment
By undertaking this 6-step risk assessment companies will receive a review of their existing capability with a roadmap that will ensure continued safe operation.
1. Understanding Objectives
Focus on business objectives to appreciate aims and to form the "To-Be" future state Cyber Security strategy
2. Business Impact Assessment
Determine the potential business impact in the event of a compromise
3. Threat Assessment
Assessment of the Cyber Security threat & identify sources that seek to compromise the firm's sensitive assets
4. Vulnerability Assessment
Identify document security vulnerabilities in existing technology, people & protocols; create "As-ls" current position
5. Risk Evaluation
Evaluation of remaining risk factors & the risk rating for each. Output is a prioritised Cyber Risk Register
6. Strategy & Roadmap
Roadmap of tactical & strategic measures to ensure ongoing defence of systems and assets
Executive Views
• Sept (2014) The UK gov announced suppliers bidding for public contracts would have to meet new cyber security standards
• May (2015) Aon Risk Solutions highlighted cyber risk had moved into the top 10 global threats for business for the first time
• Rory Moloney, Chief Executive, and Aon Global Risk Consulting, said: While new risks such as cyber have moved to the centre stage, established risks such as damage to reputation or brand are taking on new dimensions and complexities. The interconnected nature of these risks reinforces the importance….."
• According to a 2015 global Private Equity survey conducted by EY, entitled 'Positioning to Win', a top risk highlighted by CFOs is cyber security
• Andrew Coulcher, Director of Customer Solutions, CIPS said: "This is one of the biggest issues of our time as procurement professionals we need the right tools and support to meet these challenges head on."
• Costs of cyber security breach are estimated by CIPS as anywhere between £600k to 1.15m for large businesses or 65k to 115k for small businesses.
• The Ponemon Institute estimated that a breach in the financial services sector would cost $217 per record. For example, for Target's 110 million records breached, the costs would be substantial enough to put a fund out of business.
Cyber Essentials
• UK Government 'Cyber Essentials' is a set of controls offering Public and Private Sector organisations a sound foundation of basic cyber hygiene measures.
• Firms such as AIG are offering incentives to businesses to become certified.
• Larger organisations, such as HP, are also beginning to demand accreditation.
• The five key controls are: boundary firewalls and internet gateways; secure configuration; user access control; malware protection; and patch management.
• There are two levels of assurance available to satisfy the requirement; 'Cyber Essentials' and 'Cyber Essentials Plus'.
• Cyber Essentials provides a cost-effective foundation of basic measures that can defend against the increasing threat of cyber-attack.
• "Cyber Essentials is a single, government and industry endorsed cyber security certification. It is accessible for businesses of all sizes and sectors to adopt
• The UK standards are based on the ISO/ESEC 27000 series, providing a basis for checking the IT security of elements in the global supply chain.
What Happens Next?
The battle against cyber threats is not a finite one, with a one solution fits all approach, nor is it a problem that can be easily circumvented, but rather a multifarious entity that organizations must continuously adapt and evolve to. Even more alarming is the advent of zero-day threats where malware agents exploit unknown vulnerabilities; this is arguably the next generation of security threat. With the NCA calling for greater measures to enact behavioural change, cyber security has become the critical corporate agenda issue from both a technical pain- point & a board level responsibility.
However, with cyber criminals employing yet more sophisticated strategies to displace and rupture systems, organizations must adopt a robust appraisal of the current exposure level, seek an expert roadmap to counteract key risks and an on-going system which allows for the amorphous and unpredictable nature of the threat.
Cyber Webinar: How Safe Are You?

• Suggested strategic actions and quick wins to improve your security posture
Hosted by industry experts;
-Mark Satterthwaite is a specialist consultant at Turnstone with procurement expertise spanning 20 years in both public & private sectors.
-Andy is Chief Information Security Officer at Aprose Risk, a specialist Cyber Risk and Resilience Consultancy. He advises senior stakeholders at public and private sector organisations on effective strategies to reduce the risk and impact of cyber-related incidents.
