Islamist militant arrested in Indonesia; authorities believe he was planning bomb attack
Authorities in the Indonesian capital have reportedly made an arrest of a suspect who is believed to be an Islamist militant. According to reports by local media, the man, named as 23-year old Rio Priatna Wibawa, was found to have a 'large quantity of bomb making material'.
A police spokesman told the media that the bomb making material was intended to be used in an attack on the Myanmar embassy in Jakarta in December, and also other government buildings.
According to some reports, the quantity of the explosives that were found could have been used to construct a bomb at least 'twice as powerful' as the one used to destroy a Bali nightclub in 2002, killing over 200 people.
It is believed that the suspect, an unemployed university student, taught himself how to make explosives.
This is just the latest in a series of attacks in Indonesia this year believed to be linked to the Islamic State organisation. The most significant attack took place in Jakarta in January 2016, which saw four victims killed.
Indonesia, home to the largest Muslim population in the world, has seen an increasing rate of radicalism in recent times, and the authorities are ramping up their efforts to curb the threat of domestic terrorism.

I searched photodune lots of time, there is a great button which is "similar photos" , I was wondering if we could use it in graphicriver too, it helps users find and compare between files and choose the best they like. Sometimes its hard to find a file with similar objectivity, usage or other option that matters for user.Also it would be great to see what files are both new realeased and also has good amount of sales.
Thanks, IZZYMedia
Moved to Site Feedback
Personally I don't like the idea of someone hitting my page, then having a button they can click to see similar items available from other Authors.
I put a lot of hard work into promoting my files and driving traffic to my items. I, personally, would be seriously peeved if this feature was brought to GR.
I totally agree with Q&E I don't want to see someone elses items appearing under my items at all. I don't want to take the effort promote my item if there's other people designs fighting for attention on the same page.
You're completely right guys, no one likes to see other's items in their portfolio, I was talking about search options . For example when looking for something like "UI", a lot of UI is showing and it could be Ordered as date, sales, Price,.. But in this case I should check more than 400 results to see which one I like most. It's very time consuming to find what I really like or maybe I should click on sales and choose between the authors with better sales who know how to promote their items.
Of course I am talking about quality and hardworking too, This option makes me to choose between right ones instead of low quality but with much sales numbers. A buyer who want to purchase the exact thing in his/her mind deserves to have a good vision and option to choose between most quality works, so if she/he clicks on "similar item" search narrows down to item with same visuals or common tags. This makes people find their items in much shorter time and have better visions to choose from.
I am a one month old user and worked hard to upload quality works, I searched a lot to see what is missing in GR and also go for the most wanted ones for better sales to create. It's so sad that sometimes I see great and quality items which don't meet the sales they deserve. I think this "similar item" would help those authors who put a lot of hardworking and of course knowledge on their items for a good sale. As we all know buyers purchase what they see, and in this case quality works which didn't sale much and are old have better opportunity to get seen in search results.
At least we should have "multiple options" in search, for example I want to search items which tagged as UI, Clean and created just this week or month with a good sale.
This is the sales that keeps all of us on track and encourages us to work harder and make high quality works.

Step-by-step: Government's death penalty case
The United States seeks death penalty against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston is seeking the death penalty against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev citing several grounds, including "Conspiracy to Bomb a Place of Public Use Resulting in Death; Bombing of a Place of Public Use Resulting in Death."
While Massachusetts does not have a death penalty, Tsarnaev is being charged under the federal death penalty statute.
"The United States proposes to prove the following factors as justifying a sentence of death:," the filing says.
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev targeted the Boston Marathon, an iconic event that draws large crowds of men, women and children to its final stretch, making it especially susceptible to the act and effects of terrorism," the government charged.PHOTO: Ken McGagh/for Daily News and Wicked Local
Tsarnaev is charged with the "intentional killing" of Martin Richard, 8, Krystle Marie Campbell, 29, and Lingzi Lu, 23.PHOTO: AP Photo
Tsarnaev is also charged with the "intentional killing" of MIT police officer Sean Collier.
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev committed the offense in an especially heinous, cruel and depraved manner," the government charged.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, seen along Boylston Street with his brother Tamerlan, "committed the offense after substantial planning and premeditation," the government charged.
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is responsible for the death of a victim, Martin Richard, who was particularly vulnerable due to (his) youth," the government charged.
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received asylum from the United States; obtained citizenship and enjoyed the freedoms of a United States citizen; and then betrayed his allegiance to the United States," according to the court filing.
"In conjunction with committing acts of violence and terrorism, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (seen in the background running after the bombings) made statements suggesting that others would be justified in committing additional acts of violence and terrorism against the United States," the filing said.
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev demonstrated a lack of remorse," the government claims
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev murdered Officer Sean Collier, a law enforcement officer who was engaged in the performance of his official duties at the time of his death," the government said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev intentionally participated in acts contemplating that the life of a person would be taken," according to the filing.

The board of directors of Southern California's Metrolink has authorized the agency to enter into a contract to obtain new low-emission Tier 4 locomotives.
The contract includes a base order of 10 locomotives, plus an option to purchase up to 10 additional locomotives. Metrolink has allocated $129.4 million for the purchase of the locomotives.
The procurement of the locomotives and the contract with Electro-Motive Diesel are contingent upon the securing of project funds, the commuter rail agency said. The Dec. 14 board decision is just the latest step in a lengthy process.
The first three demonstration locomotives are scheduled to be complete in the fall of 2015.
"This is a significant milestone in Metrolink's efforts to operate the most efficient and environmentally friendly commuter rail system in the nation," said Board Chair Richard Katz in a written statement. "It demonstrates our commitment to our neighbors and to doing our part to clean up the air in Southern California."
The board's decision also committed the agency to the testing of alternative fuel sources in the future. Metrolink will make the first locomotives replaced by the new Tier 4 locomotives available to the South Coast Air Quality Management District for experiments with alternatives such as batteries and liquefied natural gas.

Ricky Skaggs Dazzles With Classic Bluegrass Tunes
As the years have started to add up, Ricky Skaggs' fingers may ache when he plays the mandolin or guitar at lightening fast speeds, but that doesn't mean he's slowing down.
Anyone who attended either of Ricky's two-plus hour long show at the legendary Birchmere in Alexandria, Va., can tell you that despite the popular and critical acclaim he's won through the decades — including 14 Grammys, which number 17 after next month, thanks to his latest albums 'Mosaic' and 'Solo: Songs My Dad Loved' — he still embraces the music with the enthusiasm of an eager prodigy.
"What I really loved is that the lyrics are alive," Ricky tells The Boot before taking the stage January 7. The songs, which were written for the 'Mosaic' album by Gordon Kennedy, who co-produced the project with Ricky. "It was one of the best meeting of musical minds that's [occurred] in a long time. I love working with him. He has been a fan of mine for a long time and he knows my singing and abilities and encourages me to go beyond what I've done before."
That's clear on the title track of the album, which includes a falsetto that Ricky acknowledges was "a real stretch."
Ricky and his band took the stage, launching into a string of beloved bluegrass songs including Stanley Brothers' classics 'How Mountain Girls Can Love,' and 'On a Lonesome Night,' Bill Monroe's 'I'm On My Way Back to the Old Home,' and 'Blue Grass Breakdown' and two songs from Ricky's recently released album 'Mosaic.'
Although he always wows with his passionate playing, his vocals – specifically on 'A Work of Love' and even on the classic 'Kentucky Waltz' – were hauntingly rich and textured.
Yet it was the vintage mandolin Ricky played — a favorite of Darrell "Pee Wee" Lambert, one of Ricky's earliest idols — that seemed to bring him the most joy. Although Ricky's mother had tried to buy it for him early in his career, a series of circumstances prevented him from obtaining it until recently. "The mandolin he played 47, 48 years ago, is hanging around my neck right now," Ricky told the crowd just prior to launching into his mother's favorite song, the Stanley Brothers' 'Mother's Only Sleeping.'
While Ricky's heart has belonged to bluegrass since 1997, he knows his fans want to hear the more standard country music he made popular. That's one reason he will soon be launching the Treasure Chest Tour, which will include his early country hits, bluegrass and songs from 'Mosaic.'
He points out that without the lyrics to the songs on his latest album, most people would not know they were based in Christianity. The challenge of creating such music is what drives him, too. After all, he says, it's important to remember that although he's an artist that is Christian, he is not a Christian artist.
"I have a totally different purpose and focus," Ricky explains. "It's not that I don't want to go to churches and play this music but my heart really beats for the street, the marketplace. I really want to go to people that are not necessarily religious people. I really want to take this music out to them. I think there is something there for everyone."
Dates for Ricky's Treasure Chest Tour will be announced soon here.

American consumers apparently have taken to the bolder color palette in the last several years and are more willing to experiment with their home colors.

I fixed it for you. I can't vote though, no C6!Originally Posted by RickM
60 and up
Just wondering....Had the opportunity of seeing some GM "expected" statistics on age and median income and just wondering how close they are. Without giving details, the cost of the car was expected to move the age group "up" but at the same time the attraction was set for 30-40 year-olds with plenty of disposable income (the C6 not being the primary car).
Ooops, should have put 21-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+ but can't change it!!!
I fixed it for you. I can't vote though, no C6!Originally Posted by RickM
Thanks Tammy (new at this, glad you knew how to do it)
I don't have a C6 like the rest of you old geezers! I qualify for geezerhood myself, but not the C6.
.....You're only as old as you feel....
All I can say is that, OLD is getting Younger all the time!
Ain't that the truth!Originally Posted by shopman1
...but I voted my age group anyway, because I almost bought one, but wasn't willing to pay the "market value mark-up" of $15 grand over MSRP. Maybe next year (would still be in the same age group) when the newness has worn off... and the ZO6/ZO7 is out!
Over 60 but working to stay young. After Porsches, BMW's, Mustangs and currently a Honda S2000 I'm about to order my first "vette" I feel like a kid and can't justify it with my back but then you never know how long you have. with my lifestyle and career, retired Air Force fighter pilot I really never thought I would last this long. Wish Chevy had a light blue to match my little cloth covered Citabria acrobatic airplane...... did I mention that I don't want to grow up or old. Take care all and my biggest decision is Victory red or Machine silver, of course that is after I convince my lovely bride of 37 years that we really need this for our sanity. Jack

As a fellow AF retiree (and first time "vetter") recommend you find a dealer that will let you test drive one THEN take your wife on it. If she's anything like my wife (of 24), she'll like it as much as you do. One of us HAD to be impractical
Good luck!
My being impractical when it comes to cars is long standing. Actually two weeks ago my wife and I got invited to drive the new vette on a autocrosse style layout. I dorve both the auto and the 6 speed and my wife drove the auto (she can drive standard but doesn't like it) The wanted me to leave the traction contol in the normal mode but other than that they let me throw the car around. I was impressed very nimlbe and well balanced. The stick had far more torque control. The acrobactic airplane is also impractical but what a stress escape. Need to get rid of my '03 Honda S2000 and then order the vette, he says hopefully. By the way what did you do in the Air Force? Take care
The C6 is my 8th Vette. Am planning on getting a C6 Z06 next year.

text: Hi, new guy here but I have 4 Subbies. My latest is a 2014 WRX Base Wagon. The WRX has XM on the face of the radio, and an XM cable that runs from the radio area to the driver pillar. But that's where it stops. Does anyone know if Subaru pre-wires the XM overhead? What I mean is there a wire up there for XM. I see the AM/FM wire running up the pillar and the green XM female connector but know cable. I am just trying to avoid running another XM cable to the outside with another antenna... I don't really mind running another, but it would be neater to use the existing antenna but I fear it is not XM capable......... :/

Learning along the way
For low-level NFL assistants, the wealth (of knowledge) they acquire on the way up is worth the high-level strain.
Morris, a defensive assistant for the Super Bowl-champion Buccaneers, is veering into the lot at Tampa Bay's One Buccaneer Place team facility after 16 hours at the office Monday. It's the end of a short drive from home, the start of a long haul that would force the majority of us to resign.
The players are off -- scheduled as such, at least -- and the complex quiet, but Morris will be one of the first faces head coach Jon Gruden sees at shortly after 4 a.m. this morning. . . and normally the last anyone will see when the clock chimes in Wednesday, when Morris, sometime after 12:30 a.m., calls it a day some 20 hours later.
"Tuesday and Wednesday, they are kind of the same thing," Morris said. Morris and fellow quality-control coaches or lower-level assistant coaches have normally surpassed a 40-hour workweek by Tuesday evening.
As you may imagine, the wages for the position are not great. Most quality-control coaches can figure to make the equivalent of $7 an hour or less per year. A greater payoff comes from your mentors -- like Gruden and defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin for Morris -- who are sharing their wealth (of knowledge) and are always good for a few punchlines come midnight.

high drive or no drive?
at what point in a puppies life will you be able to start to see if they will have a high drive for certain things or not?
I would think every dog is different.
Lisl was chasing and retrieving a ball at 12 weeks. At that age she didn't always want to bring it back, but her prey drive made her go after it.
Depends a lot on the bloodlines. Some dogs show their inherent drives very early. Some show then later. This is where the breeder becomes important and their knowledge of their lines. They should be your best source of information.
Certain things I expect to see early on. Food drive, hunt drive being two that I expect to see at 7-8 weeks.
1 Attachment(s)
The day i brought Atticus home at 8 weeks, he was up and chasing a Kong soft squeaky toy and bringing it back to us to throw it again. That was within an hour of being home. As he grows up, he's definitely grown into a high prey drive almost 4 month old. if something is moving, he is after it no matter what it is. that probably started as a 12 week old. when the wind would blow and leaves would skitter across the driveway he was chasing them.
I'm sure it all depends on the puppy, but it started showing up very early for Atti.
I was lucky enough to get to spend quite a bit of time with my female before I brought her home. She was definitely starting to show food drive early on. She also comes from lines that have a tendency to be very drivey very early and her siblings were all very similar. She was a really intense little puppy (and is now a really intense 9-month-old).

Stand! (song)
|This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Single by Sly and the Family Stone
|from the album Stand!
|7" single
|Psychedelic soul, funk
|Sly Stone
|Sly Stone
|Sly and the Family Stone singles chronology
"Stand!" is a 1969 song by the soul/rock/funk band Sly and the Family Stone. The song's title and lyrics are a call for its listeners to "stand" up for themselves, their communities, and what they believe in. Like nearly all of Sly & the Family Stone's songs, Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart was credited as the sole songwriter.
The original mix of "Stand!" garnered a warm, yet unenthusiastic, reaction when Sly Stone had an early acetate of the record played in a San Francisco club. As a result, Stone went back into the studio and had the song's final section, a fevered gospel music-styled break, rerecorded. Most of the Family Stone was unavailable for the session, and Stone resorted to using mostly studio musicians for the rerecorded section.
"I Want to Take You Higher", the b-side of "Stand!", was also a hit single in 1969/1970.
In 2004 the song was ranked #241 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
- Lead Vocals by Sly Stone
- Background Vocals by Rose Stone, Freddie Stone, Larry Graham, and Little Sister (Vet Stone, Mary McCreary, Elva Mouton)
- Piano by Rose Stone
- Guitar by Freddie Stone
- Bass by Larry Graham
- drums by Greg Errico
- Horns by Jerry Martini (tenor saxophone) and Cynthia Robinson (trumpet)
- Additional instrumentation by Los Angeles studio musicians
- Written and produced by Sly Stone
Cover versions[edit]
- The Jackson 5 covered the song on their debut album, Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5
- Liquid Jesus recorded the song for the film Pump Up the Volume.
- In 1991, the Minneapolis-Saint Paul-based ensemble Sounds of Blackness included a version of "Stand!" on their debut album, The Evolution of Gospel.
- In 1995, Pedro Aznar recorded a Spanish version of the song on his album David y Goliath.

text: Assumptions: 1. Roy Williams (SS) is cut/traded 2. Dallas picks up 1 CB/S in FA 3. Dallas picks up 1 DL in FA 4. Dallas gets 2 comp picks this year Round 2 P Chung, Oregon, SS From Day 1, P Chung can man the SS position for the Cowboys and is an instant starter. In addition, he should be a great Special Teamer. JJ has mentioned several times now how important it is for 2009 to improve STs. Round 3 D Beckwith, LSU, ILB Beckwith can complement Brooking at ILB, initially on passing downs covering RBs and TEs. Eventually Beckwith will take over for Brooking and we will have 2 LSU ILBs starting for the Cowboys. In addition, like Chung, Beckwith should be an excellent Special Teams player. Round 4a L Sidbury, Richmond, OLB Sidbury already has the size at 266 lbs., and he has very good speed (sub 4.7 sec. in the 40). What he does not have is experience. I am assuming Ellis is around for 1 more season and Sidbury does not need to be rushed. In time Sidbury should be a good pressure player for us. And again, a potentially excellent STs player for us. Round 4b R Bomar, Sam Houston State, QB Kitna is a 2-3 year solution. That is sufficient time for Bomar to get up to speed and eventually take over for Kitna. Round 5a L Vasquez, Texas Tech, OG He's massive, strong, and should fit right in. With Berger gone, Vasquez easily fits in and upgrades the position. Round 5b Myron Pryor, Kentucky, DT Pryor splits a few reps at NT as a rookie. He has good size and is disruptive. Good motor. We could look at a few different NT/DTs here, but I think Pryor may offer the most versatility in being more than just a run plugger. Round 5c Mike Thomas, Arizona, WR/KR Frankly said, we need a punt returner, and Thomas could step in right away. Additionally, our current WRs are all tall and big. At 5-8 and 195 lbs., Thomas is more quick and elusive. We can also use him in the slot. He runs sub 4.50 as well. While Thomas may never be a number 1 or number 2 WR in the pros, he can add value on STs and playing the slot as a number 3 down the road. Round 6a Jari Word-Daniels, Georgia Tech, CB At 6-0 and nearly 200 lbs he has good size. He could initially play STs and be groomed as a number 3 or number 4 CB down the line. Round 6b Stephen Hodge, TCU, SS Hodge is 6-0 and about 235lbs and runs a 4.49 40. He is a top STs guy. I thought he could not only provide depth at SS, but given his tremendous size, he could also play some LB in nickel situations. In other words, the role JJ/Wade were considering for R Williams. In the meantime, Hodge could be a great STs guy for us. Round 7a Ra'Shon Harris, Oregon, DT/DE Harris is currently a DT, but in Wade's defense he moves to DE. He is 6-4" and weighs 298 lbs, runs just under a 5.0 40, and he is pretty strong (28 reps). He's got good size and athleticsm for a 3-4 DE. Within 1-2 years, he could easily replace guys like Bowen, for example. Round 7b Jorvorskie Lane, Texas A&M, FB At 6-0 and weighing 275-285 lbs and running around a 4.75 sec 40, he is a load. While he had a good 2007, he had a poor 2008 outing. As a FB, Lane can also run and catch. He had 12 rec in 2007, for example. If motivated, I think Lane can be used in a variety of ways. Goal line, short yardage, etc. I think this is a player with a lot of upside, and in Round 7, that's what you look for. If we are going to run the ball more this season, a big, athletic fullback is useful.

floodable flooring options
hi all. 3 months after buying a little camp/house on the bayou, Isaac brought 3 foot flooding. among the issues to address are new flooring, to replace the vinyl tile, some of which is still adhering quite well, but others have popped.
subfloor is plywood, seems to be pretty sound (no noted creaking, although there are some patches). these are a few feet above grade, over a pretty low crawl space
have done tons of research on this, and there are some conflicting principles: waterproof flooring is good to prevent infiltration, but bad for drying things out, and since the underside of the plywood is exposed to flood waters, it does get wet and sat in water a couple of days with Isaac (though it has pretty much dried out fine, in spite of the low permeability of the vinyl tiling.)
options under consideration:
just redo vinyl. cheap, fairly easy, not a big deal if/when the next storm hits (these hundred year storms coming twice in the last decade kinda gives pause). not the nicest look, but the place is a bit rustic anyway
another resilient flooring, maybe rubber. nicer look, might be salvageable in a future storm. impervious to the funky bayou flood waters
some form of ceramic/clay tile in thinset or mortar. would hate to have to replace this if the subfloor has to be taken out, but in best case scenario could be hosed off and disinfected. questions about best materials, from mortar(mastic vs mud), tile composition (glazed/porcelain vs permeable clays) and grouts(waterproof vs permeable). definitely the nicest look and materials not much higher than resilient options
no case really to be made for laminates unless someone tells me otherwise. I'm open minded. Thanks in advance

Arsène Wenger believes it would be "impossible and not responsible" to concentrate on qualifying for next term's Champions League solely by winning the competition this season.
Arsenal have two routes into Europe's top event in 2006/07. They can either finish fourth in the Premiership or beat Villarreal in the Champions League Semi-Final and then Barcelona or Milan in the Final to qualify as holders.
It has been argued that the second method will be easier - after all it involves three wins rather than the probable six they require in the Premiership. However the manager dismisses the concept.
At his pre-match press conference ahead of the game with Portsmouth, Wenger was asked if it would be simpler just to go 'all-out' in the Champions League.
"It's impossible," he replied. "It would not be responsible as well.
"I feel we can combine both," he went on. "We can do very well in the Champions League and finish fourth.
"It depends on how well we do in these kinds of games [tonight] and how much we 'switch on'.
"Both are massive challenges. I would say the Champions League is of course the most glamorous one and the present, but the future for us is the Premiership."

Family Tree
The Customs of Mid-Autumn Festival
Eighteen Oddities in Yunnan
Yin Yang - Ancient Chinese Secrets
"Family tree" (or "pedigree chart") is a special chart representing family relationships and important events of family members in a conventional tree structure.
Family tree is a special cultural legacy of China, being one of the 3 important documents (history of the nation, local chronicles and family tree) of Chinese nation. Family tree is a precious human culture document, which is irreplaceable for the further study of history, folkloristic science, demography, sociology and economics.
The Origin of Family Tree
The origin of family tree has always been controversial. According to the inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells, bronzes, stones and other early inscriptions of China discovered, as well as some historical records, the history of family tree can be traced back to before Qin period at the latest. The officials of history wrote Generation Book – on Emperors in Zhou dynasty. The Generation Book written before Qin Dynasty has already been lost, and the one we are reading today is written by people in Qing dynasty. However, from the menu we can see that Generation Book has concluded all the family trees of emperors, kings and chancellors from Huang Emperor Period to Spring and Autumn Period, being a general pedigree chart of the comprehensive blood –related groups of previous and contemporary times.
The Form of Family Tree
There are many forms of family tree. Before the emerging of written family there have been oral family tree and knotting family tree. Then people mount the chart with paste and put in the middle hall. Some people book-bind their family trees. In the past, family trees of bureaucrat families were usually book bound, while common people, merchants and rich families often use pasted charts.
The Contents and function of Family Tree
In ancient times, family trees were only owned by kings and nobles. The function of family tree was the evidence of blood relationship, which served for the inheriting of title and property. The content of family trees in this period was simple, being only instruction of lineage.
After Wei and Jin Dynasty, the chosen of officials and marriages or even the social contacting was depended on family status. The importance of family tree in political, economic and social living had increased, and the contents of family tree had become more than the past.
During Song Dynasty, the rule that family trees could only be made by official was broken. Making family trees became more popular among common people. In this time, family tree had hardly any use in political life. The function of family tree had changed to the worship of ancestors and harmonizing the relationship of family members. Family tree was often edited, which was an important thing for people in the same clan.
The structure of family tree was basically set in Ming and Qing Dynasty, There' were lots of family trees passed down until today.
The content of a family tree includes mainly 3 parts: The first part is the chart of lineage, describing the generation and father of clan member. The second part is the main text, which is written according to the order set in the chart of lineage, introducing the name, title, father, generation, time, post, title of nobility, life time, posthumous name, marriage and so on of each member. The number of words of the instruction ranks from more than 50 to 2-3, being a brief biography. The third part is an appendix.
The order of generations is set in some family trees when they are being made. The generations are marked ahead of time. This is called "generations order" in folklore, which is actually assigning priority according to seniority. Because of the value the male child only formed by history, a character decided in advance has to be one of the characters of the "full name" of a male. This character should be in the middle or the last of the three characters of the name. The generations may be different, but the rule is accepted through common practice.

Evidence of septic system failure determined by a biochemical fingerprinting method
Ahmed, Warish, Neller, Ron, & Katouli, Mohammad (2005) Evidence of septic system failure determined by a biochemical fingerprinting method. Journal of Applied Microbiology, 98(4), pp. 910-920.
AIMS: To provide evidence of septic system failure by comparing two faecal indicator bacteria, enterococci and Escherichia coli, from defective septic tanks and adjacent creeks. METHODS AND RESULTS: A biochemical fingerprinting method was used to type and compare enterococci and E. coli strains from 39 septic tanks with creek water samples. Phenotypic diversity of enterococci (0.5 +/- 0.3) and E. coli (0.5 +/- 0.3) in septic tanks were significantly lower than those found in water samples (0.8 +/- 0.1, P < 0.0001 for enterococci and 0.9 +/- 0.1, P < 0.0001 for E. coli). Among 1072 enterococci isolates tested from septic tanks, 203 biochemical phenotypes (BPTs) were found of which 98 BPTs from 33 septic tanks were identical to several water samples. Similarly, among 621 E. coli isolates tested from septic tanks, 159 BPTs were found of which 53 BPTs from 26 septic tanks were also identical to water samples. The number of the latter bacteria was significantly (P = 0.01) higher in water samples collected from downstream compared with that of upstream in the study area. A high similarity between the populations of both indicator bacteria was also found between defective septic tanks and downstream water samples further indicating the contamination of both creeks by defective septic systems. CONCLUSIONS: Biochemical fingerprinting of faecal indicator bacteria is a useful and rapid method to provide direct evidence for septic system failure. Combination of both faecal indicator bacteria (enterococci and E. coli) provides a better judgement of the performance of a septic system. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study is the first to provide direct evidence of septic system failure by identifying the presence of specific bacterial types in septic tanks and surface waters. Based on our findings, we suggest that the performance evaluation of a septic system should be accompanied by direct analysis of faecal indicator bacteria.

Jenn-Air vs Viking D3 Appliance Packages (Reviews/Ratings)
We have sold Jenn-Air quite a bit over the last 18 months. Quite simply, they have bribed you to buy it. The product is good and comparable to Bosch, GE Cafe, Frigidaire Pro and KitchenAid, but the rebates are much better, and thus so is the value. It is an easy purchase. That is, until the rebates expire or a manufacturer has a more compelling rebate or product for similar prices.
Viking D3 is certainly tempting. D3 is Viking's lower priced line with very good design and the iconic Viking label, but should it be considered against the more aggressive company with deeper pockets?
Jenn-Air vs Viking D3 Appliance Packages
Jenn-Air Pro-Style Kitchen Package
Viking D3 Kitchen Package
The D3 has the better range with 18K and 17,000 BTUs compared to Jenn-Air's 16,000 BTU. Both are convection. Jenn-Air does have the warming drawer, but Viking has a fifth burner.
This is a tie as both are manufactured by Whirlpool to the same specs.
Jenn-Air has a convection oven, whereas the Viking is just a microwave. Big advantage to Jenn-Air as you can cook, microwave or use in combination.
I like the Viking dishwasher...when it works. Hopefully, their second release will be better. (dont worry, we can fix them). Jenn-Air is manufactured on the same platform as KitchenAid. Advantage Jenn-Air.
Viking has a 3-year warranty to Jenn-Air's 1-year and better name recognition, especially the range. Brands still matter (what are you wearing now?). With D3, you also can customize the knobs and handles of the appliances. Viking is the only company to do so. This approach does work in other industries, since Harley Davidson really invented mass customization.
Jenn-Air is still $1,300 cheaper and is serviced 7% less than Viking. Absent the range and refrigerator, the Jenn-Air dishwasher and convection microwave are better than the Viking D3. So this comparison really depends on what you use and value. Either way, the D3 is the first company to challenge Jenn-Air in Kitchen packages...for now.
What do you think?

I am latina, olive skin tone and tan easily. Will the aerola reduction scar be very noticeable? I seem to heal well based on my previous breast augmentation with was through crease...I just really still want my aerolas reduced. They are so big.
If I Get an Aerola Reduction, is the Scar Very Noticeable?
Doctor Answers 5
Nipple Areolar reduction can leave noticeable scars
The acars around the areolar typically heal very well and the scars tend to fade with time. It is good to hear that you have had two breast scars that have healed nicely. I always recommend asking to see scars that the surgeon has performed so that you can judge for yourself.
Areola scarring
You should also be aware, that areola reduction surgery does carry other risks such as spreading of the areola, asymmetry, shape irregularity etc.
In order to avoid disappointment, it behooves you to be aware of the worse case scenario and, armed with that knowledge, decide if your dissatisfaction with the areola size justifies the risks associated with the procedure.
I hope this helps.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/procedure_inverted_nipple.htm
Areola reduction scarring
The way you scar after an areola reduction depends mostly on two things: 1) your personal scarring history (some darker skinned individuals are prone to keloid formation) and 2) the degree of tension on the closure. As long as you do not have a personal history of keloid formation, and there is no large implant being placed that will place the areola on significant tension, you should heal just fine!
You might also like...
Areolar scars generally heal quite well
The scars from an areolar reduction usually heal quite well because the skin is fairly thin. This may vary depending on a patient's ethnicity and skin tone, but the scar is ultimately partially camoflauged by the round border of the areola (circle).

2 things I have learned about hot wax.
It works really well.
It makes the bottom of pots REALLY SLIPPERY!
I lost 3 small plates today, out of the tongs, into the bottom of the glaze bucket. Had to dive for them, when I finally got them out, they had about an inch of glaze on them. Did this 3 times before I decided to be more careful.

Weak ocean protection hinders our coasts' ability to remain resilient in the face of many challenges.

Martin Eden HTML version
Chapter 25
Maria Silva was poor, and all the ways of poverty were clear to her. Poverty, to
Ruth, was a word signifying a not-nice condition of existence. That was her total
knowledge on the subject. She knew Martin was poor, and his condition she
associated in her mind with the boyhood of Abraham Lincoln, of Mr. Butler, and
of other men who had become successes. Also, while aware that poverty was
anything but delectable, she had a comfortable middle-class feeling that poverty
was salutary, that it was a sharp spur that urged on to success all men who were
not degraded and hopeless drudges. So that her knowledge that Martin was so
poor that he had pawned his watch and overcoat did not disturb her. She even
considered it the hopeful side of the situation, believing that sooner or later it
would arouse him and compel him to abandon his writing.
Ruth never read hunger in Martin's face, which had grown lean and had enlarged
the slight hollows in the cheeks. In fact, she marked the change in his face with
satisfaction. It seemed to refine him, to remove from him much of the dross of
flesh and the too animal- like vigor that lured her while she detested it.
Sometimes, when with her, she noted an unusual brightness in his eyes, and she
admired it, for it made him appear more the poet and the scholar - the things he
would have liked to be and which she would have liked him to be. But Maria Silva
read a different tale in the hollow cheeks and the burning eyes, and she noted
the changes in them from day to day, by them following the ebb and flow of his
fortunes. She saw him leave the house with his overcoat and return without it,
though the day was chill and raw, and promptly she saw his cheeks fill out
slightly and the fire of hunger leave his eyes. In the same way she had seen his
wheel and watch go, and after each event she had seen his vigor bloom again.
Likewise she watched his toils, and knew the measure of the midnight oil he
burned. Work! She knew that he outdid her, though his work was of a different
order. And she was surprised to behold that the less food he had, the harder he
worked. On occasion, in a casual sort of way, when she thought hunger pinched
hardest, she would send him in a loaf of new baking, awkwardly covering the act
with banter to the effect that it was better than he could bake. And again, she
would send one of her toddlers in to him with a great pitcher of hot soup,
debating inwardly the while whether she was justified in taking it from the mouths
of her own flesh and blood. Nor was Martin ungrateful, knowing as he did the
lives of the poor, and that if ever in the world there was charity, this was it.
On a day when she had filled her brood with what was left in the house, Maria
invested her last fifteen cents in a gallon of cheap wine. Martin, coming into her
kitchen to fetch water, was invited to sit down and drink. He drank her very-good
health, and in return she drank his. Then she drank to prosperity in his
undertakings, and he drank to the hope that James Grant would show up and

Manufacturing Slump in Europe, Asia May Spur Stimulus From Central Bankers
Manufacturing slumped in Europe and Asia, adding to signs of slowing global growth that may keep a lid on inflation and encourage some central banks to step up stimulus measures.
Euro-area manufacturing contracted more than initially estimated in August while Chinese manufacturing growth stayed near a 29-month low, purchasing managers' indexes showed. Similar gauges for Sweden, the U.K., South Korea and Taiwan all indicated contraction.
While manufacturing slumped in Europe and Asia, the Institute for Supply Management's factory index released today unexpectedly showed U.S. expansion in August, dropping to 50.6 from 50.9 the prior month. A reading of 50 is the dividing line between expansion and contraction in manufacturing.
"Today's data raise the specter of another global economic slump," said Carsten Brzeski, senior European economist at ING Group in Brussels. "Everyone is looking to the central banks to bail them out. The question is whether central banks really want to go down that route again."
Some Federal Reserve officials favor "more substantial" action to bolster U.S. growth beyond a pledge to keep interest rates at record lows for the next two years, minutes from their Aug. 9 meeting showed. The European Central Bank may revise its assessment that inflation risks are on the upside, President Jean-Claude Trichet signaled this week, paving the way for a halt in its policy tightening.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 0.5 percent to 1,225.08 at 10:11 a.m. in New York, after the ISM data were released, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.25 percent from 2.22 percent late yesterday.
'Basically Done'
In Asia, central banks may also be "basically done with their monetary policy tightening," with Taiwan and India among the few that may still raise interest rates, said Euben Paracuelles, a Singapore-based economist at Nomura Holdings Inc. "Slowing growth will ease some of the demand-side pressures across Asia" on consumer prices, Paracuelles said.
The global slowdown is damping demand for fuel, driving down oil prices that have been a key source of inflation. Crude has dropped to $88 a barrel from $114 per barrel in April.
The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee has held off raising interest rates even with inflation running at more than twice its 2 percent target, choosing to give more weight to the faltering economic recovery.
The deteriorating outlook prompted Bank of England policy maker Martin Weale and Chief Economist Spencer Dale to abandon a push for a quarter-point rate increase at last month's meeting. Some officials also debated whether there was a need to expand the bank's bond-purchase program.
Protests in Asia
Inflation, which in South Korea reached a three-year high in August, has eroded consumers' purchasing power across Asia, spurring protests from China to India. Any lasting sign of moderation in consumer prices may let some central banks shift toward considering an easing in policy, following Brazil's interest-rate cut yesterday, said Tim Condon, head of Asia research at ING Groep NV in Singapore.
"We have seen the worst and inflation will slowly subside," said Condon. "Some may even be thinking if they can ease monetary policy to stimulate the economy."
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde wrote in a Financial Times article on Aug. 16 that low interest rates and central banks' readiness to "dive once more into unconventional waters" if required are necessary to ensure the global recovery doesn't falter.
Recession Risk
A gauge of euro-area manufacturing fell to 49 in August from 50.4 in July, the first time in two years it has fallen below the 50 mark to signal contraction, London-based Markit Economics said today. The gauge for the U.K. also fell to 49 from 49.4, while Sweden's index declined to 48.7 from 50.1.
Today's data signal "an end to the manufacturing recovery," said Markit chief economist Chris Williamson. "There is a growing risk that the euro zone could slide back into recession in the second half of the year."
Growth in the 17-nation currency bloc slowed to 0.2 percent in the second quarter from 0.8 percent in the first as the region's debt crisis weighed on confidence and the global slowdown curbed exports. Germany's economy almost ground to a halt.
ThyssenKrupp AG, Germany's largest steelmaker, on Aug. 12 reported fiscal third-quarter earnings that missed analysts' estimates, citing slower global demand and "sharply" declining European consumption.
Fed officials last month discussed a range of ways to invigorate growth after the U.S. economy expanded at 0.7 percent average annual pace in the first half of the year, according to Federal Open Market Committee minutes released Aug. 31.
Bernanke's Stance
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke in an Aug. 26 speech stopped short of signaling further stimulus measures and said the economy will probably improve in the second half of 2011.
An index of Chinese manufacturing was at 50.9, up from 50.7, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing reported. Similar gauges for South Korea and Taiwan were at 49.7 and 45.2, below the expansion-contraction point of 50, according to data compiled by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit.
"The risk of a global economic contraction has certainly intensified, though it's not very likely at this stage," said Jacques Cailloux, chief European economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London. "That helps on the inflation front, but central banks have different appetites for digging into their tool boxes to support growth."

This morning upon booting up my ThinkPad W520, the multi-card reader is no longer working. A look at the Device Manager (Windows 7, 64-bit) shows the "Base System Device", and reports "The drivers for this device are not installed." Attempting to get Windows to natively install the drivers does not work. Some googling shows others with similar troubles in the past; recommendations include installing a Ricoh card reader driver for Windows XP or Vista; this did not work. Other available drivers include 8ass82ww.exe and 8axv51ww.exe - these do not work. Installing Lenovo's own Support Center software shows the Base System Device driver is not installed. I can't find a way to install it. I've tried installing driver exe files and searching for those same files using the Windows browse-for-files window when installing drivers for Base System Device.
Seriously, **bleep**? I've wasted over two hours on a Sunday morning trying to fix this. It was working yesterday. I didn't install any crazy new software, or any software for that matter. Why does this happen and more importantly, how do I FIX this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
When I performed a clean install of Win 7 for the W520, the driver for "Base System Device" was installed from the folder C:\SWTOOLS\CARDREADER. I haven't encountered any problem with the card reader as of yet though.
If I attempt to install the driver from that folder (or the above folder and 'include subfolders') I get the error 'Windows was unable to install your Base System Device'.
05-08-2012 06:10 PM - edited 05-08-2012 06:12 PM
You probably need this one: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p
Not sure why it's not working though.
EDIT: My drivers for the Ricoh reader are these: http://i.imgur.com/1iKFH.png
thanks Colonel. I tried that specific driver - didn't work. I also tried Toshiba's tc00347400j.exe file which is their driver specifically for their RICOH card reader - didn't work.
My Driver Provider is "Unknown"; my Driver Date and Driver Version are "Not available"; my Driver Signer is "Not digitally signed" - and no matter how many ways & times I try and change the driver, it doesn't work.
I've given up.
So, I actually have Ubuntu 12.04 in dual-boot, and the card reader works fine in Linux, as is. So it's obviously a Windows 7 conflict, or driver conflict in Windows, somehow. I can't pin it down. Thanks for the advice though!
05-10-2012 05:03 PM - edited 05-10-2012 05:05 PM
Are you using Lenovo's preload at all? I had this same issue. It popped up around cloning and installing a new drive. I had to remove/install the card reader drivers a few times before the problem finally went away knock on wood. A lot of funky issues with this preload and my w520, I hear you about the waste of time, things certainly feel that way sometimes with my own 520.
This morning Windows ran an automatic update; I don't know if any of the updates were aimed at the card reader, but the driver is now installed and the device working. Too many updates to list them all, but thanks everyone for your help. Between the time I opened this thread and now, I probably rebooted my machine 30 times, and tried every combination of drivers + reboot. Then, poof, this morning it fixes itself.
