New Xbench 3.0 build 1299: Support for Transit NXT and Transifex
Posted: February 18th, 2015 under ApSIC Xbench.
We're pleased to announce the availability of Xbench 3.0 build 1299.
This new build has these new main features:
- Support for Transit NXT. Now you can choose a Transit NXT project directory and load it in Xbench for search or QA.
- Support for Transifex. This is our first integration with an online-only tool, Transifex. To use it, just choose Transifex Project as file type when adding files to the Project Properties. If you find a segment that you want to edit directly in the online project, you can do that directly in Xbench, with Edit Source.
As usual, you can see other additions and fixes in our change log.
To download the new build, just go to our Download page. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issue with the new build.
New Xbench 3.0 build 1266: More Enhancements to memoQ 2014 Integration
Posted: November 10th, 2014 under ApSIC Xbench.
Starting with the new Xbench 3.0 build 1266 and memoQ 2014 build 51 or later, now the best process to QA memoQ 2014 documents in Xbench 3.0 is:
- In memoQ 2014, open a project and select all documents (or views) that you want to QA. If you press Ctrl+A, you will select all documents in the project.
- Click Export Bilingual to export all selected documents as memoQ XLIFF in a folder on your Desktop (for example, ToXbenchQA).
- In your Desktop, select the ToXbenchQA folder, right-click and then choose Run QA in Xbench.
- Carry out your QA checks normally in Xbench, such as spellchecking, number mismatches, inconsistencies, etc. When you find an issue in Xbench that you want to edit in memoQ, simply select it and press Ctrl+E (or right-click and choose Edit Source). memoQ 2014 will open automatically the document (or view) right at the segment selected in Xbench.
- When you want to run a regression, just re-export the documents again to the same ToXbenchQA folder and then press F5 in Xbench to refresh them.
This new process for memoQ 2014 does away with two inconveniences of the previous integration for memoQ:
- You do not need to create a glued view, which sometimes was not even possible with some kind of online server projects.
- You do not need to have that glued view open as the current document in memoQ 2014, as Xbench 3.0 will now open the right project and document for you
This new functionality is available starting with Xbench 3.0 build 1266, so if you have not updated your Xbench 3.0 build in a while, now it is a good time to do so by downloading the latest build.
If you have multiple versions of memoQ installed on your computer, Xbench 3.0 will tell which of the two memoQ integations can be used depending on context. For example, if you export your .mqxlz files from memoQ 2013 R2, Xbench will use the old integration, but if you export your .mqxlz files from memoQ 2014 build 51 or later, Xbench will use the new integration.
If you run into any issue with this new Xbench integration or have any suggestion, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Unveiling Xbench 3.0 Domain Mode Licenses
Posted: October 22nd, 2014 under ApSIC Xbench.
With the current license scheme, we've seen that for larger groups, it turned out to be a bit more difficult for the license administrator to keep track of who should be in the Xbench Control Panel as an Authorized User.
In larger groups, besides the avid Xbench users, there are users who only need to use Xbench for occasional Engineering bugfixing, file conversion, or to compile a report to the customer. Also, the larger the group, the more difficult it is to be aware of who is new in the company or who left, who is now on maternity leave or a sabbatical, or who changed her role in the company for a few months and the new role does not involve using Xbench that often.
It turned out that all these events are hard to track for the people in charge of adding and removing authorized users to the Control Panel so we are today introducing two new domain license modes that can drastically reduce administration burden for these people:
- Full Domain: In this mode, when a new user of the relevant domain (for example, @domain.com) signs up, she is added automatically to the Control Panel.
- Whitelisted Domain: In this mode, the license administrator manually whitelists the users of domain @domain.com that can use Xbench. So, in this license mode, each authorized user is in fact a whitelisted user.
This license mode makes sense when you have a good control on which users may sign up for Xbench with an @domain.com address.
For both domain modes, a weekly process on Mondays puts in dormant state any users of the domain that did not use Xbench for one week before the weekly process. When a user enters the dormant state, she stops paying for the license. When a dormant user uses Xbench again, for example after returning from a few weeks of vacationing, she is added again automatically in the Control Panel. A weekly digest email sent on Monday keeps in the loop the account holder and her delegates of the automatic changes in the Control Panel.
In the domain mode license, as in the classic license, you can add users from other email domains (for example, a @gmail address of a freelance translator that works often for your company), but these are not automatically managed. Also, please note that the minimum of one authorized user for each 10 years of time balance remaining still applies, just as in the classic license.
The pricing per year of the domain license mode is the same as in the classic license mode.
To be eligible for one of the domain license modes you need to:
- Own the email domain covered.
- Have a history of Xbench purchases of at least 10 subscription years.
If you meet the above criteria and are interested in switching your customer account to a domain mode license, contact us today.

- You make your bid by October 23 at 11am (CET).
- On October 23, we calculate the Strike Price from all bids received.
- If your bid is equal or greater than the Strike Price, you will be entitled to buy Xbench subscription years at the Strike Price until October 30.
Because each bid is uniquely tied to each registered user, you need to sign up for Xbench to be able to place your bid.

New Xbench 3.0 build with Column Sorting, Unpaired Brackets Checking and More
Posted: July 14th, 2014 under ApSIC Xbench.
We're happy to announce that Xbench 3.0 build 1243 is available for download.
In this build, the following features have been added:
- Column Sorting. Now you can click on the column heading and sort the search results alphabetically by source text, by target text or by any of the columns in the search report.
- Unpaired Symbols QA Check. A new QA check called Unpaired Symbols has been added to the QA standard checks. With this QA check you will be able to ensure that parentheses, square brackets, and braces are opened and closed in the segment.
- Native Character Normalization. A new search setting has been added to the Search Options pane that will allow you to relax native characters. For example, With this setting enabled, if you search for an "a", you will also match "á", "à", "â", "ä" and any character that is somehow based in "a". This setting can be useful if you are translating from a source language with accents and the writer of the original text was not very good at typing accents.
- Support for Déjà Vu Pack&Go and Passolo Glossaries. Now you can add to your Xbench 3.0 projects Déjà Vu Pack&Go files (.dvpng extension) and Passolo glossaries (.glo extension).
As usual for more details on the fixes and additions in this build, refer to the change log.
The new build can be downloaded here. If you run into any issue or have any suggestion, please contact us.
Xbench 3.0 World Cup Promotion: Buy One Year and Get Eight - If You Know Who Is Going To Win
Posted: July 2nd, 2014 under ApSIC Xbench.
The World Cup games have shown to be a lot more equal than anticipated. Most games have required extra time and tiny details (and often a ton of luck) have decided who passes to next round.
Now there are 8 countries still in competition and we have the impression that any of them can win. Messi, Neymar, Hazard, James, Muller, Robben, Benzema, or Bryan Ruiz can appear any time and decide the title.
But if you already saw clearly who is going to win, here is a great deal for you: Buy one subscription year, make your guess of the World Cup winner, and if you are right, you get eight subscription years instead of one.
This deal is valid for both new customers and also existing customers who wish to renew their subscription ahead of time to benefit from this deal.
And hurry up, this promotion ends on Friday July 4, at 6pm CET, with the France-Germany kick-off!
Polish Translation of the ApSIC Xbench 3.0 User's Guide Available!
Posted: June 17th, 2014 under ApSIC Xbench.
We're happy to announce the availability of the Polish version of the ApSIC Xbench 3.0 User's Guide. The translation has been carried out by Polish translator and trainer Michał Tosza, who back in 2010 also carried out the translation of ApSIC Xbench 2.8 User's Guide, the first translation ever of an ApSIC Xbench User's guide.
We at ApSIC are greatly thankful of Michał's continued efforts to keep the Polish user's guide up to date for the Polish community of ApSIC Xbench users.
The Polish user's guide joins the French, German, and Spanish translations of the ApSIC Xbench 3.0 User's Guide and can be downloaded from the Documentation page at www.xbench.net.
New Xbench 3.0 build 1227: Enhanced Integration with memoQ
Posted: May 27th, 2014 under ApSIC Xbench.
When we published the Xbench Plugin for Studio, the great improvement brought by it had the side effect of many memoQ users asking us if we also planned to bring this very same functionality for memoQ.
We conferred with Kilgray and determined that an Xbench plugin for memoQ with key features similar to what we have now for Studio would require that Kilgray first implemented a relatively small new feature and also relatively minor enhancement to another existing feature, so it seems that technically speaking, a solution would be within reach. As far as we know, these needed additions to memoQ are currently scheduled for memoQ 2014 R2 so, if everything goes as planned, we should be able to release an Xbench plugin for memoQ shortly after the release of memoQ 2014 R2, that is, probably around late 2014 or early 2015.
While we wait for a full-blown plugin to be technically possible, we have come up with a solution that seems to work quite nicely with memoQ 6.0 through memoQ 2013 R2, and requires only a handful of clicks in memoQ to prepare things under a certain convention prior to the actual QA in Xbench.
The first step is to download and install Xbench 3.0 build 1227 or later, as it is the first Xbench build with the required segment positioning support for memoQ.
The method we've devised to conveniently QA memoQ stuff in Xbench in memoQ is as follows:
- In your memoQ project, select all documents that you want to QA, right click and choose Create View.
- Name your memoQ view something like "ToXbench", choose Simply glue documents together and click OK.
- In the Views tab, choose the "ToXbench" view, right-click and choose Export bilingual. Choose memoQ XLIFF and click Export.
- Open the "ToXbench" view in the memoQ editor so that it becomes the active document (this is important because segment positioning can be done only on the active document).
- Load the ToXbench.mqxlz file in Xbench, with file type memoQ File.
Now everything is ready. Simply QA the ToXbench.mqxlz in Xbench as usual. When you find an issue that you want to fix, simply right-click, choose Edit Source (Ctrl+E) and memoQ will position the memoQ editor right in the segment that you selected in Xbench. When you are done with your edits to the segment in memoQ and you are ready to go back to Xbench, press Alt+Tab.
When you want to run a final QA pass after your edits, simply export in again the "ToXbench" view in memoQ (you do not need to create it again) and then press F5 in Xbench to reload the ToXbench.mqxlz file to run a new QA pass.
The reason why you need to create a view with everything glued is because there is currently no way to programmatically close and open a document in memoQ, so the approach we take in our solution is simply to fit everything in a single document (the glued view) and do all segment positioning from there.
Don't get overwhelmed by the steps to create and export a view. These steps are very quick and straight-forward in memoQ, and normally it will take just a few seconds even for large projects.
We hope you like this approach to handle memoQ stuff. If you run into any issue or have any suggestion or comment, please contact us.
Xbench Plugin for SDL Trados Studio 2014 Released!
Posted: May 22nd, 2014 under ApSIC Xbench.
We're happy to anounce that we've just released the Xbench plugin for SDL Trados Studio 2014 (build 11). You can download it from either our website or soon the SDL OpenExchange.
The plugin for Studio adds a useful icon to the Studio 2014 Ribbon that allows you to QA your projects Studio in Xbench instantly with a single click.
But, probably, the biggest feature is that it also allows you to instantly open in Studio the segment you have selected in Xbench, in order to be able to fix a translation issue find in Xbench with all your Studio project settings in place.
With this release version, you will not get the unsigned plugin warning that you got during the beta test when you launched Studio.
The Xbench plugin is a free add-on and requires Xbench 3.0 build 1186 or later. It also requires that SDL Trados Studio 2014 SP1 (released a few weeks ago) is installed, as it adds the needed support for segment-level positioning from Xbench when Studio happens to have a multi-file document open (also known as merged view).
We strongly recommend that all users with Xbench 3.0 and Studio 2014 install this plugin as it greatly improves the user experience of the whole QA cycle with Xbench. You can see it in action in this 5-minute video.
If you run into any issues when using the plugin for Studio or have additional suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Coldcut are an English electronic music duo composed of Matt Black and Jonathan More. Credited as pioneers for pop sampling in the '80s,[1] Coldcut are also considered the first stars of UK electronic dance music [2] due to their innovative style, which featured cut-up samples of hip-hop, breaks, jazz, spoken word and various other types of music, as well as video and multimedia. According to Spin, "in '87 Coldcut pioneered the British fad for 'DJ records'".[3]
Coldcut's records first introduced the public to pop artists Yazz and Lisa Stansfield,[4] through which these artists achieved pop chart success. In addition, Coldcut has remixed and created productions on tracks by the likes of Eric B & Rakim, Yazz, James Brown, Queen Latifah, Eurythmics, INXS, Steve Reich, Blondie, The Fall, Pierre Henri, Nina Simone, Fog, Red Snapper, and BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
Beyond their work as a production duo, Coldcut are the founders of Ninja Tune, an independent record label in London, England (with satellite offices in Montreal and Los Angeles) with an overall emphasis on encouraging interactive technology[5] and finding innovative uses of software.[6] The label's first releases (the first four volumes of DJ Food - 'Jazz Brakes') were produced by Coldcut in the early 90s, and composed of instrumental hip-hop cuts that led the duo to help pioneer the trip-hop genre,[7] with artists such as Funky Porcini, The Herbaliser and DJ Vadim.[8]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2008) |
In 1986, computer programmer Matt Black and ex-art teacher Jonathan More were part-time DJs on the rare groove scene. More also DJed on pirate radio, hosting the Meltdown Show on Kiss FM and worked at the Reckless Records store on Berwick Street, London where Black visited as a customer. The first collaboration between the two artists was 'Say Kids What Time Is It?' on a white label in January 1987, which mixed Jungle Book's "King of the Swingers" with the break from James Brown's "Funky Drummer." The innovation of "Say Kids..." caused More and Black to be heralded by SPIN as "the first Brit artists to really get hip-hop's class-cutup aesthetic".[9] It's regarded as the UK's first breaks record,[10] the first UK record to be built entirely of samples[11] and "the final link in the chain connecting European collage-experiment with the dance-remix-scratch edit".[12] This was later sampled in "Pump Up the Volume" by MARRS, a single that reached #1 in the UK in October 1987.
Though Black had joined Kiss FM with his own mix-based show, the pair eventually joined forces on its own show later in 1987 called Solid Steel. The eclectic show became a unifying force in underground experimental electronic music [10] and is still running to date, celebrating 25 years in 2013.
The duo adopted the name Coldcut and set up a record label called Ahead Of Our Time to release the single Beats + Pieces (one of the formats also included "That Greedy Beat") in 1987. All of these tracks were assembled using cassette pause button edits and later spliced tape edits that would sometimes run "all over the room". The duo used sampling from Led Zeppelin to James Brown. Electronic act The Chemical Brothers have described 'Beats + Pieces' as the 'first bigbeat record', a style which appeared in the mid 90s.
Coldcut's first mainstream success came when Julian Palmer from Island Records asked them to remix Eric B. & Rakim's "Paid in Full". Released in October 1987, the landmark remix [13] is said to have "laid the groundwork for hip hop's entry into the UK mainstream",[14] becoming a breakthrough hit for Eric B & Rakim outside the U.S., reaching #15 in the UK [15] and the top 20 in a number of European countries. It featured a prominent Ofra Haza sample and many other vocal cut ups as well as a looped rhythm which later, when speeded up, proved popular in the Breakbeat genre. Off the back of its success in clubs, the Coldcut "Seven Minutes of Madness" remix ended up being promoted as the single in the UK.
In 1988, More and Black formed Hex, a self-titled "multimedia pop group," with Mile Visman and Rob Pepperell. While working on videos for artists such as Kevin Saunderson, Queen Latifah and Spiritualized, Hex's collaborative work went on to incorporate 3D modelling, punk video art, and algorithmic visuals on desktop machines. The video for Coldcut's 'Christmas Break' in 1989 is arguably one of the first pop promos produced entirely on microcomputers.
In 1988, Coldcut released 'Out To Lunch With Ahead Of Our Time,' a double LP of Coldcut productions and re-cuts, and the various aliases under which the duo had recorded. This continued the duo's tradition of releasing limited available vinyl.[16]
The next Coldcut single, released in February 1988, moved towards a more house-influenced style.[17] "Doctorin' the House", which debuted singer Yazz,[18] became a top ten hit, and peaked at #6.[19] In the same year, under the guise Yazz and the Plastic Population, they produced "The Only Way Is Up", a cover of a Northern Soul song. The record reached #1 in the UK in August, and remained there for five weeks, becoming 1988's second biggest selling single.[18] Producer Youth of Killing Joke also helped Coldcut with this record. The duo had another top hit in September with "Stop This Crazy Thing", which featured reggae vocalist Junior Reid and reached number 21 in the UK.[20]
The single "People Hold On" became another UK Top 20 hit. Released in March 1989, it helped launch the career[21] of the then relatively unknown singer Lisa Stansfield.[22] Coldcut and Mark Saunders produced her debut solo single "This Is the Right Time", which became another UK Top 20 hit in August as well as reaching #21 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 the following year.
As the duo started to enjoy critical and commercial success,[23] their debut album What's That Noise? was released in April 1989 on Ahead of Our Time and distributed by Big Life Records. The album gave "breaks the full length treatment",[24] and showcased "their heady blend of hip-hop production aesthetics and proto-acid house grooves".[25] It also rounded up a heap of unconventional guest features, quoted by SPIN as having "somehow found room at the same table for Queen Latifah and Mark E. Smith".[26] The album's track 'I'm in Deep' (featuring Smith) prefigured the Indie-dance guitar-breaks crossover of such bands as the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays, utilizing Smith's freestyle raucous vocals over an acid house backing, and also including psych guitar samples from British rock band Deep Purple. What's That Noise? reached the Top 20 in the UK and was certified Silver.
Coldcut's second album, Some Like It Cold released in 1990 on Ahead Of Our Time, featured a collaboration with Queen Latifah on the single "Find a Way". Though "Find a Way" was a minor hit in the UK, no more singles were released from the album. The duo was given the BPI "Producer of the Year Award" in 1990. Hex - alongside some other London visual experimenters such as iE - produced a series of videos for a longform VHS version of the album. This continued Coldcut and Hex's pioneering of the use of microcomputers to synthesize electronic music visuals.
After their success with Lisa Stansfield, Coldcut signed with her label, Arista Conflicts arose with the major label, as Coldcut's "vision extended beyond the formulae of house and techno" and mainstream pop culture (CITATION: The Virgin Encyclopedia Of Nineties Music, 2000). Eventually, the duo's album Philosophy emerged in 1993. Singles "Dreamer" and "Autumn Leaves" (1994) were both minor hits but the album did not chart.
"Autumn Leaves" had strings recorded at Abbey Road, with a 30 piece string section and an arrangement by film composer Ed Shearmur. The leader of the string section was Simon Jeffes of Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Coldcut's insistence on their friend Mixmaster Morris to remix "Autumn Leaves"[27] led to one of Morris' most celebrated remixes,[28] which became a minor legend [29] in ambient music. It has appeared on numerous compilations.
In 1990, whilst on their first tour in Japan (which also featured Norman Cook, who later became Fatboy Slim), Matt and Jon formed their second record label, Ninja Tune, as a self-titled 'technocoloured escape pod,' and a way to escape the creative control of major labels.[30] The label enabled them to release music under different aliases (e.g.. Bogus Order, DJ Food), which also helped them to avoid pigeonholing as producers. Ninja Tune's first release was Bogus Order's 'Zen Brakes.' The name Coldcut stayed with Arista so there were no official Coldcut releases for the next three years.
During this time, Coldcut still produced for artists on their new label, releasing a flood of material under different names and continuing to work with young groups.[25] They additionally kept on with Solid Steel on Kiss FM and running the night club Stealth (Club of the Year in the NME, The Face, and Mixmag in 1996).
In 1991, Hex released their first video game, 'Top Banana', which was included on a Hex release for the Commodore CDTV machine in 1992, arguably the first complete purpose-designed multimedia system.[31] 'Top Banana' was innovative in that it used sampled graphics, contained an ecological theme and a female lead character (dubbed 'KT'), and its music changed through random processes. Coldcut and Hex presented this multimedia project as an example of the forthcoming convergence of pop music and computer game characters.
In 1992, Hex's first single - 'Global Chaos' / 'Digital Love Opus 1' - combined rave visuals with techno and ambient interactive visuals.[32] In November of that year, Hex released Global Chaos CDTV, which took advantage of the possibilities of the new CD-ROM medium. The Global Chaos CDTV disk (which contained the 'Top Banana' game, interactive visuals and audio), was a forerunner of the "CD+" concept, uniting music, graphics, and video games into one.[33] This multi dimensional entertainment product received wide coverage in the national media, including features on Dance Energy, Kaleidoscope on BBC Radio 4, What's Up Doc? on ITV and Reportage on BBC 2. i-D Magazine was quoted as saying, "It's like your TV tripping".
Coldcut videos were made for most songs, often by Hexstatic, and used a lot of stock and sampled footage. Their 'Timber' video, which created an AV collage piece using analogous techniques to audio sample collage, was put on heavy rotation on MTV.[34] Stuart Warren Hill of Hexstatic referred to this technique as: "What you see is what you hear." 'Timber' (which appears on both 'Let Us Play', Coldcut's fourth album, and 'Let Us Replay,' their fifth) won awards for its innovative use of repetitive video clips synced to the music,[35] including being shortlisted at the Edinburgh Television and Film Festival in their top five music videos of the year in 1998.[36]
Coldcut began integrating video sampling into their live DJ gigs at the time, and incorporated multimedia content that caused press to credit the act as segueing "into the computer age".[37] Throughout the 90s, Hex created visuals for Coldcut's live performances, and developed the CD-ROM portion of Coldcut's 'Let Us Play' and 'Let Us Replay,' in addition to software developed specifically for the album's world tour. Hex's inclusion of music videos and 'playtools' (playful art/music software programs) on Coldcut's CD-Roms was completely ahead of the curve at that time, offering viewers/listeners a high level of interactivity.[38] Playtools such as My Little Funkit and Playtime were the prototypes for Ninja Jamm, the app Coldcut designed and launched 16 years later. Playtime followed on from Coldcut and Hex's Synopticon installation, developing the auto-cutup algorhythm, and using other random processes to generate surprising combinations. Coldcut and Hex performed live using Playtime at the 1st Sonar Festival in 1994. Playtime was also used to generate the backing track for Coldcut's collaboration with Jello Biafra, 'Every Home a Prison'.
In 1994 Coldcut and Hex contributed an installation to the Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art. The piece, called 'Generator' was installed in the Fire Gallery. Generator was an interactive installation which allowed users to mix sound, video, text and graphics and make their own audio-visual mix, modelled on the techniques and technology used by Coldcut in clubs and live performance events. It consisted of two consoles: the left controlling how the sounds are played, the right controlling how the images are played.
As part of the JAM exhibition of "Style, Music and Media" at the Barbican Art Gallery in 1996, Coldcut and Hex were commissioned to produce an interactive audiovisual piece called Synopticon. Conceived and designed by Robert Pepperell and Matt Black, the digital culture synthesiser allows users to "remix" sounds, images, text and music in a partially random, partially controlled way.
The year 1996 also brought the Coldcut name back to More and Black, and the pair celebrated with '70 Minutes of Madness,' a mix CD that became part of the Journeys by DJ series. The release was credited with "bringing to wider attention the sort of freestyle mixing the pair were always known for through their radio show on KISS FM, Solid Steel, and their steady club dates".[39] It was voted "Best Compilation of All Time" by Jockey Slut in 1998.
In February 1997, they released a double pack single "Atomic Moog 2000" / "Boot the System", the first Coldcut release on Ninja Tune. This was not eligible for the UK chart because time and format restrictions prevented the inclusion of the 'Natural Rhythm' video on the CD. In August 1997, a reworking of the early track "More Beats + Pieces" gave them their first UK Top 40 hit since 1989.
The album Let Us Play! followed in September and also made the Top 40. The fourth album by Coldcut, Let Us Play! paid homage to the greats that inspired them.[40] Their first album to be released on Ninja Tune, it featured guest appearances by Grandmaster Flash, Steinski, Jello Biafra, Jimpster, The Herbaliser, Talvin Singh, Daniel Pemberton and Selena Saliva. Coldcut's cut 'n' paste method on the album was compared to that of Dadaism and William Burroughs.[41] Hex collaborated with Coldcut to produce the multimedia CD-Rom for the album. Hex later evolved the software into the engine that was used on the Let Us Play! world tour.
In 1997, Matt Black - alongside Cambridge based developers Camart - created real-time video manipulation software VJAMM. It allowed users to be a "digital video jockey,",[42] remixing and collaging [43] sound and images [44] and trigger audio and visual samples simultaneously,[45] subsequently bringing futuristic technology to the audio-visual field.[46] VJAMM rivalled some of the features of high-end and high cost tech at the time. The VJAMM technology, praised as being proof of how far computers changed the face of live music,[47] became seminal in both Coldcut's live sets (which were called a "revelaton" by Melody Maker [48] and DJ sets. Their CCTV live show was featured at major festivals including Glastonbury, Roskilde, Sónar, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and John Peel's Meltdown. The "beautifully simple and devastatingly effective" [49] software was deemed revolutionary,[50] and became recognized as a major factor in the evolution of clubs.[51] It eventually earned a place in the American Museum of the Moving Image's permanent collection.[44] As quoted by The Independent: "Coldcut's motto? 'Don't hate the media, be the media." [52] NME was quoted as saying: "Veteran duo Coldcut are so cool they invented the remix - now they are doing the same for television."
Also working with Camart, Black designed DJamm software in 1998, which Coldcut used on laptops for their live shows, providing the audio bed alongside VJAMM's audiovisual samples. Matt Black explained they designed DJamm so they "could perform electronic music in a different way – i.e., not just taking a session band out to reproduce what you put together in the studio using samples. It had a relationship to DJing, but was more interactive and more effective." [53] Excitingly at that time, DJamm was pioneering in its ability to shuffle sliced loops into intricate sequences, enabling users to split loops into any number of parts.[54]
In 1999, Let Us Replay! was released, a double-disc remix album where Coldcut's classic tunes were remixed by the likes of Cornelius (which was heralded as a highlight of the album,[42] Irresistible Force, Shut Up And Dance, Carl Craig and J Swinscoe.[55] Let Us Replay! pieces together "short sharp shocks that put the mental in 'experimental' and still bring the breaks till the breakadawn".[56] It also includes a few live tracks from the duo's innovative world tour.[57] The CD-Rom of the album, which also contained a free demo disc of the VJamm software,[58] was one of the earliest audiovisual CD- ROMs on the market,[59] and Muzik claimed deserved to "have them canonized...it's like buying an entire mini studio for under $15.".[60]
In 2000, the Solid Steel show moved to BBC London.
Coldcut continued to forge interesting collaborations, including 2001's "Revolution," an EP in which Coldcut created their own political party (The Guilty Party). Featuring scratches and samples of Tony Blair and William Hague speeches,[61] the 3-track EP included Nautilus' "Space Journey," which won an Intermusic contest in 2000.[62] The video was widely played on MTV. With 'Space Journey,' Coldcut were arguably the first group to give fans access to the multitrack parts, or "stems," of their songs, building on the idea of interactivity and sharing from Let Us Play.
In 2001, Coldcut produced tracks for the Sega music video game REZ. REZ replaced typical video game sound effect with electronic music; the player created sounds and melodies, intended to simulate a form of synesthesia. The soundtrack also featured Adam Freeland and Oval.
In 2002, while utilizing VJamm and Detraktor, Coldcut and Juxta remixed Herbie Hancock's classic 'Rockit,' creating both an audio and video remix.
Working with Marcus Clements in 2002, Coldcut released the sample manipulation algorhythm from their DJamm software as a standalone VST plugin that could be used in other software, naming it the Coldcutter.
Also in 2002, Coldcut with UK VJs Headspace (now mainly performing as the VJamm Allstars developed Gridio, an interactive, immersive audio-visual installation for the Pompidou Centre as part of the 'Sonic Process' exhibition.[63] The 'Sonic Process' exhibition was launched at the MACBA in Barcelona in conjunction with Sónar, featuring Gridio as its centerpiece. In 2003, a commission for Graz led to a specially built version of Gridio, in a cave inside the castle mountain in Austria. Gridio was later commissioned by O2 for two simultaneous customised installations at the O2 Wireless Festivals in Leeds and London in 2007. That same year, Gridio was featured as part of Optronica at the opening week of the new BFI Southbank development in London.
In 2003, Black worked with Penny Rimbaud (ex Crass) on Crass Agenda's Savage Utopia project. Black performed the piece with Rimbaud, Eve Libertine and other players at London's Vortex Jazz Club.
In 2004, Coldcut collaborated with American video mashup artist TV Sheriff to produce their cut-up entitled 'Revolution USA.' The tactical-media project (coordinated with Canadian art duo NomIg) followed on from the UK version and extended the premise "into an open access participatory project".[64] Through the multimedia political art project, over 12 gigabytes of footage from the last 40 years of US politics were made accessible to download, allowing participants to create a cut-up over a Coldcut beat.[65] Coldcut also collaborated with TV Sheriff and NomIg to produce two audiovisual pieces "World of Evil" (2004) and "Revolution '08" (2008), both composed of footage from the United States presidential elections of respective years. The music used was composed by Coldcut, with "Revolution '08" featuring a remix by the Qemists.
Later that year, a collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) led to the psychedelic art documentary 'Wavejammer.' Coldcut was given access to the BAS archive in order to create sounds and visuals for the short film.
2004 also saw Coldcut produce a radio play in conjunction with renowned young author Hari Kunzru for BBC Radio 3 (incidentally called 'Sound Mirrors').[66]
Coldcut returned with the single "Everything Is Under Control" at the end of 2005, featuring Jon Spencer (of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and Mike Ladd. It was followed in 2006 by their fifth studio album Sound Mirrors, which was quoted as being "one of the most vital and imaginative records Jon Moore and Matt Black have ever made",[67] and saw the duo "continue, impressively, to find new ways to present political statements through a gamut of pristine electronics and breakbeats" (CITATION: Future Music, 2007). The fascinating array of guest vocalists [67] included Soweto Kinch, Annette Peacock, Ameri Baraka, and Saul Williams. The latter followed on from Coldcut's remix of Williams' 'The Pledge' for a project with DJ Spooky.
A 100-date audiovisual world tour commenced for 'Sound Mirrors,' which was considered "no small feat in terms of technology or human effort".[68] Coldcut was accompanied by scratch DJ Raj and AV artist Juxta, in addition to guest vocalists from the album, including UK rapper Juice Aleem, Roots Manuva, Mpho Skeef, Jon Spencer and house legend Robert Owens.
Three further singles were released from the album including the Top 75 hit "True Skool" with Roots Manuva.[69] The same track appeared on the soundtrack of the video game FIFA Street 2.
Sponsored by the British Council, in 2005 Coldcut introduced AV mixing to India with the Union project, alongside collaborators Howie B and Aki Nawaz of Fun-Da-Mental. Coldcut created an A/V remix of the Bollywood hit movie 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'.
In 2006, Coldcut performed an A/V set based on "Music for 18 Musicians" as part of Steve Reich's 70th birthday gig at the Barbican Centre in London.
Coldcut remixed another classic song in 2007: Nina Simone's 'Save Me.' This was part of a remix album called 'Nina Simone: Remixed & Re-imagined,' featuring remixes from Tony Humphries, Francois K and Chris Coco.
In February 2007, Coldcut and Mixmaster Morris created a psychedelic AV obituary/tribute Coldcut, Mixmaster Morris, Ken Campbell, Bill Drummond and Alan Moore (March 18, 2007). Robert Anton Wilson tribute show. Queen Elizabeth Hall, London: Mixmaster Morris. (August 28, 2009) to Robert Anton Wilson, the 60s author of Illuminatus! Trilogy. The tribute featured graphic novel writer Alan Moore and artist Bill Drummond and a performance by experimental theatre legend Ken Campbell. Coldcut and Morris' hour and a half performance resembled a documentary being remixed on the fly, cutting up nearly 15 hours' worth of Wilson's lectures.
In 2008, an international group of party organisers, activists and artists including Coldcut received a grant from the Intelligent Energy Department of the European Union, to create a project that promoted intelligent energy and environmental awareness to the youth of Europe. The result was Energy Union, a piece of VJ cinema, political campaign, music tour, party, art exhibition and social media hub. Energy Union toured 12 EU countries throughout 2009 and 2010, completing 24 events in total. Coldcut created the Energy Union show for the tour, a one hour Audio/Visual montage on the theme of Intelligent Energy. In presenting new ideas for climate, environmental and energy communication strategies, the Energy Union tour was well received, and reached a widespread audience in cities across the UK, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Spain and the Czech Republic.
Also in 2008, Coldcut was asked to remix the theme song for British cult TV show Dr Who for the program's 40th anniversary.[70] In October 2008, Coldcut celebrated the legacy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop (the place where the Doctor Who theme was created) with a live DJ mix at London's legendary Roundhouse. The live mix incorporated classic Radiophonic Workshop compositions with extended sampling of the original gear.[71]
Additionally in 2008, Coldcut remixed "Ourselves", a Japanese #1 hit from the single "&" by Ayumi Hamasaki. This mix was included on the album Ayu-mi-x 6: Gold.
Starting in 2009, Matt Black, with musician/artist/coder Paul Miller (creator of the TX Modular Open Source synth), developed Granul8, a new type of visual fx/source Black termed a 'granular video synthesiser'. Granul8 allows the use of realtime VJ techniques including video feedback combined with VDMX VJ software.
From 2009 onwards, Black has been collaborating with coder and psychedelic mathematician William Rood to create a forthcoming project called Liveloom, a social media AV mixer.
Recent work[edit]
In 2010, Coldcut celebrated 20 years of releasing music with its label, Ninja Tune. A book entitled Ninja Tune: 20 Years of Beats and Pieces was released on 12 August 2010, and an exhibition was held at Black Dog Publishing's Black Dog Space in London, showcasing artwork, design and photography from the label's 20 year history. A compilation album was released on 20 September in two formats: a regular version consisting of two 2-disc volumes, and a limited edition which contained six CDs, six 7" vinyl singles, a hardback copy of the book, a poster and additional items. Ninja Tune also incorporated a series of international parties. This repositioned Ninja as a continually compelling [72] and influential [73] label, being one of the "longest-running (and successful) UK indie labels to come out of the late-1980s/early-90s explosion in dance music and hip-hop" (Pitchfork, September 28, 2010). Pitchfork claimed it had a "right to show off a little".[74]
In July 2013, Coldcut produced a piece entitled 'D'autre' based on the writings of French poet Arthur Rimbaud, for Forum Des Images in Paris.The following month, in August, Coldcut produced a new soundtrack for a section of André Sauvage's classic film Études sur Paris, which was shown as part of Noise of Art at the BFI in London, which celebrated 100 years of Electronic Music and Silent Cinema. Coldcut put new music to films from the Russolo era, incorporating original recordings of Russolo's proto-synths.
In April 2013, Coldcut released Ninja Jamm, an iOS music remix app, in collaboration with London-based arts and technology firm Seeper. Geared toward both casual listeners and more experienced DJs and music producers, the freemium app allows users to download and remix "Tunepacks" that feature original tracks and mixes by Coldcut, as well as other Ninja artists,[75] creating something new altogether.[76] With the "intuitive yet deep" app,[77] users can turn instruments on and off, swap between clips, add glitches and effects, trigger and pitch-bend stabs and one-off samples, and change the tempo of the track instantly. Users can additionally record as they mix and instantly upload to SoundCloud or save the mixes locally.[78] Tunepack releases for Ninja Jamm are increasingly synchronised with Ninja Tune releases on conventional formats. To date over 20 tunepacks have been released, including Amon Tobin, Bonobo, Coldcut, DJ Food, Martyn, Emika, Machinedrum, Raffertie, Irresistible Force, FaltyDL, Shuttle, Starkey. Ninja Jamm was featured by Apple in the New and Noteworthy section of the App Store in the week of release and it received over 100,000 downloads in the first week. Coldcut intend to develop Ninja Jamm further.
In 2013, Coldcut are working on a new album, collaborating with producer Dave Taylor (a.k.a. Solid Groove a.k.a. Switch). This is planned for 2014 release.

Rihanna Rushed To Hospital!
(Getty Images / Rihanna - Twitter)
Rihanna has been partying pretty hard lately, recently tweeting pictures of her gettin' loose at a strip club.
But why was she rushed to a New York Hospital last night?
Rihanna tweeted a picture of herself on an IV drip and rumours ran rapid that she was partying way too hard at the 2012 Met Gala and therefore rushed to hospital with Dehydration and Exhaustion. So is this TRUE or FALSE?
Well, kinda but not really...
A source told E! News that Rihanna has had the Flu and been quite sick for the last week. Although Rihanna did need to be put on a IV, she is fine now.
Due to her illness RiRi had to skip the dress rehearsals for her upcoming appearance on Saturday Night Live. But a source says she did indeed do a soundcheck and that the show did understand she wasn't feeling well and had to save her voice for the live performance.
Do you think this could just be a cover up, and Rihanna really was partying way too much?

We launched leggings! Step into a world of individuality.
Taken in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
"The White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) is a small songbird of the nuthatch family which breeds in old-growth woodland across much of temperate North America. It is a stocky bird, with a large head, short tail, powerful bill and strong feet. The upper parts are pale blue-gray, and the face and underparts are white. It has a black cap and a chestnut lower belly. The nine subspecies differ mainly in the color of the body plumage.
Like other nuthatches, the White-breasted Nuthatch forages for insects on trunks and branches, and is able to move head-first down trees. Seeds form a substantial part of its winter diet, as do acorns and hickory nuts that were stored by the bird in the fall. The nest is in a hole in a tree, and the breeding pair may smear insects around the entrance as a deterrent to squirrels. Adults and young may be killed by hawks, owls and snakes, and forest clearance may lead to local habitat loss, but this is a common species with no major conservation concerns over most of its range."

USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG-54) is the fourth Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer. Curtis Wilbur was named for Curtis D. Wilbur, forty-third Secretary of the Navy, who served under President Calvin Coolidge.
Built by Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine, she was commissioned in Long Beach, California, on 19 March 1994. The keynote speaker for the ceremony was then-Secretary of the Navy, John H. Dalton.
Ship history[edit]
During the summer of 1994, Curtis Wilbur participated in RIMPAC '94, a major multi-national exercise involving more than thirty ships as well as numerous submarines and air assets, both carrier- and land-based. During this exercise, she performed duties as Force Air Defense Coordinator. Also that summer, the Board of Inspection and Survey conducted Final Contract Trials to assess the material status of the ship. Curtis Wilbur became the first ship of the class, and only the second ship ever to complete the examination with zero mission degrading deficiencies.
In October 1994, Curtis Wilbur became the first Aegis-equipped ship to integrate women into the crew.
Curtis Wilbur departed on her first Western Pacific Deployment on 31 July 1995, transiting the Pacific and heading to the Persian Gulf. While deployed with the United States Naval Forces Central Command, she supported Operations Southern Watch and Vigilant Sentinel. During her 100 days in theater, she served as Air Warfare Commander, Surface Warfare Commander, Undersea Warfare Commander, and Strike Warfare Commander. Curtis Wilbur also served as a member of the United States Fifth Fleet Expeditionary Task Force supporting United Nations sanctions against Iraq.
In September 1996, Curtis Wilbur became part of the United States Seventh Fleet, shifting homeports from San Diego to Yokosuka Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan.Upon arrival in Japan, she successfully completed Tailored Ship's Training Availability II and III and was the first ship ever to validate the Final Evaluation Period. On 15 February 1997, she deployed with the Independence Battle Group and participated in exercises Tandem Thrust '97 and Cobra Gold. Curtis Wilbur served as the Air Warfare Commander during this deployment.
Throughout the remainder of 1997, Curtis Wilbur participated in numerous Seventh Fleet Exercises, including Javelin Maker, Missilex 97-4, Aswex 97-6JA, Harmex 97-2, Annualex 09G, and Comptuex. For her "contributions to the fleet", Curtis Wilbur was selected as the Destroyer Squadron Fifteen Battle Efficiency Winner for 1997.
In January 1998, Curtis Wilbur participated in Sharem 108-1 before deploying again, on short notice, to the South Pacific. During this deployment, Curtis Wilbur visited ports in Singapore, Australia, Guam, Hong Kong, South Korea and Japan. She also participated in Merlion '98 and the Shimoda Black Ship Festival.
In June 1998 Curtis Wilbur commenced her second Selected Restricted Availability (SRA) in Yokosuka. This nine-week shipyard period brought with it many new upgrades, including JTIDS (Link 16), JMCIS 98, INMARSAT B, and numerous other Engineering and Combat System upgrades, making her the most capable destroyer in Seventh Fleet.
Upon completion of SRA and Sea Trials in August 1998, in addition to beginning the training cycle, Curtis Wilbur deployed for the joint and combined Exercise FOAL Eagle '98 with the Republic of Korea Navy and completed a successful Cruise Missile Tactical Qualification and Naval Surface Fire Support qualification. During the training cycle the ship certified the Main Space Fire Drill for ECERT at TSTA II and had a near flawless performance during ECERT. After completing her second complete training cycle while forward deployed, Curtis Wilbur participated in Sharem 127 with the Korean Navy and deployed in March 1999 with the Kitty Hawk Battle Group.
After completing Tandem Thrust '99, an annual multi-national training exercise, Curtis Wilbur received immediate tasking to proceed at best speed en route the Persian Gulf. Steaming in company with Kitty Hawk and Chancellorsville (CG-62), Curtis Wilbur conducted a no-notice high speed transit and arrived in the Persian Gulf on 18 April 1999. Proceeding directly to the Northern Persian Gulf, Curtis Wilbur commenced operations in support of Operation Southern Watch; enforcing the Southern No-Fly Zone over Iraq and supporting United Nations Sanctions against Iraq by conducting Maritime Interception Operations (MIO) as a member of Fifth Fleet. Curtis Wilbur also participated in two major exercises while on her second Persian Gulf deployment: Nautical Swimmer '99, a combined exercise with the Royal Saudi Naval Forces, and Sharem 128, an Undersea Warfare exercise in the North Arabian Sea. Following port visits to Bunbury, Australia and Pattaya, Thailand, Curtis Wilbur returned to Yokosuka, Japan on 25 August 1999.
On 1 October 2001, Curtis Wilbur again departed Yokosuka on another deployment. Assigned to the Kitty Hawk Strike Group, she conducted operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in the Persian Gulf. After a port visit to Phuket, Thailand, Curtis Wilbur's first port visit in ten months, from 13–15 December, the ship returned to Yokosuka on 23 December 2001.
In early February 2002, Curtis Wilbur, along with the Yokosuka-based ships O'Brien (DD-975), Cowpens (CG-63), John S. McCain (DDG-56), Chancellorsville, Cushing (DD-985), Vandegrift (FFG-48), Gary (FFG-51), Sasebo-based Essex (LHD-2), and John Ericsson (T-AO-194) and Japan Defense Ship Sagami (AOE-421) participated in Missilex '02, an anti-ship missile defense training evolution. The Missilex took place on 7 and 8 February, in a training area off the island of Okinawa, with all the ships participating except Ericsson and Sagami, which had conducted replenishments at sea with several ships earlier in the exercise.
In March 2011, in company with the carrier Ronald Reagan, the ship was deployed off northeastern Honshu, Japan to assist with relief efforts after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[1] During that time, the ship may have been exposed to leaking radiation from the Fukushima I nuclear accidents.[2]

I put some ox-Gard I got from manards on the threads to improve heat-sinking and conduction. Its spouse to improve conductivity and reduce oxidation of aluminum. Being electrically conductive it should conduct heat as well.
I tested it with mt 4c maglite but wounder is a 6 cell would be any brighter. Accupower has some really high capacity NiMh batteries I'd like to try also. C= 6000 mah D= 11500 mah.

Pence picks new workforce development commissioner
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mike Pence has picked a first-term state legislator to become Indiana's new workforce development commissioner.
The governor's office announced Thursday that current workforce development Commissioner Scott Sanders is stepping down to become the agency's senior deputy commissioner overseeing the unemployment insurance division. Sanders has been the agency's leader since being appointed by former Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2012.
The new commissioner will be Republican state Rep. Steve Braun of Zionsville. He is unopposed for re-election in November. The governor's office says Braun intends to resign his legislative seat after the election and begin the new position on Nov. 24.
Braun is a self-employed business consultant.
The Department of Workforce development oversees job-training and employment program and runs the state's unemployment benefits system.

Haunted Castles of Ireland |
Kinnitty Castle, County Offaly, Midlands Region - Now used as a hotel, Kinnitty Castle is home to a friendly (and very communicative) phantom monk, who's been seen numerous times by staff and guests alike. The monk seems to favor the great Banquet Hall, but has reportedly been observed in several other areas of the castle, as well. |
Huntington Castle, Clonegal, County Carlow - Built on the site of an ancient Druid temple, Huntington has its own resident ghostly monk, as well as a man dressed in a soldier's uniform and a spirit believed to be that of Lady Esmond, the lady of the castle in the 17th century. |
Clonony Castle, County Offaly - Two of Ann Boleyn's cousins are buried beneath this castle. The luminous ghost of a man is regularly seen by passing motorists at night; he's usually standing on top of the tower. |
Castle Daly, County Galway, Border Region - The echoes of a lively party are said to be frequently heard in the middle of the night at Castle Daly. |
Castle Leslie, County Monaghan - A spirit of a more recent vintage is said to inhabit Castle Leslie, a member of the family who was killed in World War I. |
Ross Castle, Killarney, County Kerry - For centuries, a medieval knight has been seen riding his horse across Lough Leane next to Ross Castle. There's a 19th century painting dedicated to this phenomenon in the National Gallery of Ireland. |
Charleville Castle, County Offaly - Known as one of Ireland's most haunted castles, Charleville stands in the middle of the oldest oak forest in Ireland. Some people believe the paranormal activity results from the castle's location, known to have once been a sacred ritual site and, also, a burial ground of the Druids. But it's the builder of the castle who is said to be frequently seen, making his way through the castle's catacombs, dungeons and towers. |
Lisheen Castle, Northern Tipperary - Like many old castles in Ireland, Lisheen Castle has a long and turbulent history. Unexplained sounds have been reported in the restored section of the castle, but phenomena of a more dramatic, frightening nature is associated with the rath, a wooded area nearby that includes some of the original castle's ruins. |
Glenarm Castle, County Antrim - One story about Glenarm Castle relates that there was so much paranormal activity there that the lady of the castle had every room exorcised except the attic - to which, the story continues, all the ghosts immediately retreated! |
Fanningstown Castle, County Limerick - Guests of Fanningstown Castle, now used as a hotel, speak of a friendly, helpful ghost in residence there, who, on one occasion, is credited with helping a visitor find his lost wallet. |
Malahide Castle, Eastern Coast - A court jester at Malahide Castle once fell in love with a noblewoman. There's no word as to whether or not his feelings were reciprocated, but, apparently, they were not appreciated by someone at the castle, because one night the jester was murdered just outside the castle walls. Before he died, he announced that he would haunt the castle forevermore. There have been visitors who have seen evidence to suggest that he has been true to his word. |
Leap Castle, County Offaly - Leap Castle is widely regarded as Ireland's most haunted castle. Many paranormal investigators have studied the castle, while generations of locals have told stories of their run-ins with the resident spirits. The castle has a violent history of murder and mayhem and most people attribute its high level of paranormal activity to this history.

My neighbor sold their Kia Avella 2005 model B3 engine to me last July 2009 with a mileage of 196k. At first, I was having second thoughts about buying it, considering its mileage, but after doing a test drive, I decided to buy it since it was only 80k.
The aircon is okay, even during the middle of the day. During night time, I would turn on-off the thermostat coz it's really that cold.
The fuel consumption is 8-10km/liter city driving, depending on the traffic. On long drives its 14km/liter.
Ever since I bought the unit, I had repaired the alternator twice; each cost me 2,500. Next time I would buy surplus or reconditioning alternator to save cost and life span.
The engine is doing good, idling is good at 800rpm. I normally change gear at 1500rpm, but sometimes at 1800rpm from 3rd to fourth gear.
Overall, I don't have any regrets about buying a Kia Avella.

I bought my Kia Avella last October 2005. Until now I have the unit, but lately I can't find somebody to fix the engine. Sometimes it's normal, but now, most of the time, the engine gets going wild. It will reach even to 5000 rpm, then it will turn off. I almost consulted all of the Cebu car repair shops, but nobody could fix it. Can anybody help? Text me 09062054307

It is from the speedmeter line. Try to disconnect it from gear box and drive. The tick will gone.

I have a Kia Avella Delta - 98. And there's quite a big problem with it, because when drive up a hill, the car just turns off without you changing any gears, or the gear is only in 1st gear. I consulted many mechanics on this topic, but no one has solved this problem. I'm hoping I can get some advice regarding this topic? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me find surplus stores for my Kia Delta Avella engine parts, like an intake manifold hose?
I'm Cris from Cebu.

My Kia Avella Delta won't start in the morning at all, or I find it difficult to start in the morning. Please, I want to know what is the cause, if anyone has an idea about it?

My go to store is at Aim High Auto Supply at Gen. Echavez St.. Call them first at 2338742 or 2328942. Talk to the salesman, not the saleslady because she is Tagalog and easily misunderstands your needs. No disrespect to all ladies intended.

The rubber bushing on the balancer in the rear suspension needs to be replaced.

I have a KIA Avella and I just want to ask if what is the best engine oil for the car, can anyone help me?

Hi guys, I have a Kia Avella from General Santos City. The car is good so far when it comes to gas consumption; my only problem is that when you turn the air con on, it suddenly drops the RPM very low, and if not turned off, it vibrates like it's going to turn the engine off. It's good without air con.
Can anyone suggest to me the possible issue and a solution?
09394017477, thanks guys.

I bought this after reading other reviews because the price was great, the color was nice and matched my dog's fur, so it would show less hair. I also liked that the cover was removeable for cleaning. Other reviewers had mentioned that the filling was inadequate and thier dog was essentially lying on the ground. I bought this for my medium sized 60 lb dog and it is on a concrete floor. It definitely was not enough cushioning but I was able to purchase a piece of 1 1/2" thick upholstery foam at the fabric store and put it inside the cover, under the the stuffing and that did the trick.
It could be a little firmer but my dog is only 20 pounds so it is good for him and ocasionally the cat as well. It must be comfortable because he would rather be on it than the sofa
a great dog bed that finally blends with the colors in our home. Our dog loves it almost as much as the couch!
Well made, quality material and workmanship! My dog loves it and went right to the bed to check out the minute I put it down for him! He naps on it daily!
After taking this dog bed out of the box I was immediately in love with the colors. I set it on the floor and Oso (my pup) jumped right on it and laid down and sprawled out. He has since been on his bed napping. I really like the quality and the softness of the top part of the bed. The colors match Oso so that is very nice. Basically he and I love this the bed!!
My dogs love this bed, esp. the fluffy side. I like the washable cover. However, I have had problems with the zippers malfunctioning on two of them while removing the cover for laundering. Overstock.Com has been GREAT about taking care of warranty issues on the zippers, but it is a concern for beds going forward. I have been looking for other options, but have not found one I like (and I think the dogs will like) as well. So I recommend this product, with reservation.
Although the dog bed was pretty, it was too small for my dogs. They would not use it.
Very poor quality. Extremely thin. Not worth the money.
I bought two of these pet beds for my Beagles and they love them, they are on them most of the day, the color is just what I wanted and they sit by the fireplace which they love.
I was very pleased with the pet bed, it was soft and the colors were spot on. Also very thick and a good size for my 3 doxies to snuggle on.
