In Reply to: RE: And then there is good jazz, e.g., Solveig Slettahjell, Susanne Abbuehl, posted by Jay Buridan on July 30, 2012 at 08:48:50
Jay Buridan said...
" but most of the interesting music is coming from Europe. Americans are too stupid to appreciate good music"
Sure some good music is coming from Europe but a lot is not real jazz,
especially the like of Solveig Slettahjell, Susanne Abbuehl.
Even if you like them, these 2 ladies have a very small following even in Europe, they are pleasant but insignificant and certainly not bringing jazz forward.
How can we even compare them to the like of Sheila Jordan, Nancy king,
Karrin Allyson or Jay Clayton and many others. One must just surf "CD Baby" listen and discover some great talents.
I have over 200 different jazz singers in my collection, maybe 20% are from Europe.
Maybe I am a purist be we where talking about jazz, did we not.???
Follow Ups:
I listen to far more instrumental jazz than I do vocal jazz but I'm curious about your comment. I'm not trying to be confrontational but I'd like to get a clearer idea of what you mean by "real jazz?"
Let me offer up a (not comprehensive) list of living European musicians I generally like and perhaps you can tell me where you'd draw the "real" line:
Irene Schweizer, Tony Oxley, Evan Parker, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Gianluigi Trovesi, Louis Sclavis, Han Bennink, John Butcher, AMM, the guys in Atomic, Phil Wachsmann, Matts Gustafsson, Peter Brotzmann, Pierre Favre, Frank Gratkowski, Misha Mengelberg, Barry Guy,...
I think the line between jazz and modern classical is becoming increasingly blurry but I see that as non-issue. If the music contains an improvisational component and the artist wants to call it jazz I'm fine with that. Like Jay Buridan I probably would come down on the side of more interesting, at least nominally, jazz coming out of Europe in the interval from 1985 to 2005 than from the USA, especially if you count the ex-pat Americans among the Europeans.
I do find that there are a number of young, attractive female, more-or-less jazz singers (perhaps we could say marketed as jazz singers) that I find very lightweight. This doesn't, however, necessarily make them unenjoyable at least in small doses or as background music. I'd be more likely to add an asterisk to the jazz descriptor for those singers than to any of the musicians I listed above.
Edits: 08/02/12
I was referring to so called jazz female singers. All the musicians you mentioned are jazzman, in actual fact I would nearly call them the "Avant garde"
But when it comes to singers these days most of them are just singers maybe backed by a jazz rhythm section, or singing jazz song, or mixing styles
So few have real jazz abilities. This proliferation of so called jazz singers is may due to the popularity of Diana Krall a decade or so ago.
I love singers but I love jazz thus the ones I enjoy are the jazz singers.
There is a forum dedicated to jazz singers called "Songbirds" and they have a very good description of today�s so called jazz singers, they call them "jazettes" which is cute and to the point.
Since I haven't followed the Songbirds forums I'm a little vague on what I'm signing on to but the sobriquet "jazzettes" sounds fairly appropriate.
I did enjoy the Cecile Mclorin Salvant performance you linked to not long ago.
How do you feel about Phil Minton and Theo Bleckmann?
such as the Claudia Quintet, Kurt Elling, Fred Hersch, Lee Konitz, Patricia Barber, Melody Gardot's 'My One and Only Thrill' album, for instance. IMHO these artists are making great art in the jazz genre. Most of the rest are talented, as you say, but are not making great art or interesting music. American culture is 99% moribund in its music and fine arts. We have good satire, e.g., Colbert Report and Book of Mormon on Broadway, because America is a joke. The Europeans (and Canada's D. Krall) are writing and making interesting music that is harmonically and instrumentally rich, e.g., Susanne Abbuehl's 'Compass' album, which is definitely jazz, with classical influences, e.g., Paul Hindemith. The lyrics are interesting, often from James Joyce, William Carlos Williams, e.e. cummings and other important blank-verse poets. Richard Galliano and Suzanna Wallumrod (sp?) are more good examples of European jazz art.
Karrin Allyson is nice easy listening. Not great art. I agree with the OP, if his point is that American music (including its jazz) is dumbed down considerably compared to the time of Duke Ellington's 'Far East Suite' and Abbey Lincoln's 'Turtles Dream'.
I know you're a jazz afficionado with good taste in music. You've steered me to much great music. And I mean no offense to you.
"Most of the rest are talented, as you say, but are not making great art or interesting music. American culture is 99% moribund in its music and fine arts."
You may not have found it but it's an extra step to say it's not there. There are hundreds and hundreds of American musicians making great art and interesting music.
But most American music is crap, IMHO
Your specific taste may be suited to a particular variety that is popular in Europe, but that has nothing to do with what's "crap". I can assure you if your impression is that "most American music is crap", it is a reflection of your awareness of what's out there.
no sense in disputing about taste, so have a nice life.
Everyone has their taste, your statement was something different.
But for some good news...
Check out Rene Marie, Downbeat's "Rising Star" female vocalist. Not a kid by any means, but due to unfortunate family conditions was late to the party. Her two most recent CDs "Voice of My Beautiful Country" and "Black Lace Freudian Slip" are gems.
For the youth scene, check out Taylor Eigsti and Christian Scott. There is hope.
"We are as gods and might as well get good at it." - Stewart Brand
We definetely have a different idea of what jazz is all about.
Melody Gardot could be called popjazz, compared the Karin Allyson cd she did with Nancy King. I have the Susanne Abbuehl cd and again I do not call it jazz, her phrasing and voice are not jazz.
Actually I do not know of one European singer that express a true jazz feeling, maybe the closest would be Karin Krog or Laila Dalseth??
But yes to each is own and Vive la difference.
The best jazz gig I've seen in the past year was the Wayne Shorter quartet
which was amazing. And I am sure that if you spent a week in the New York jazz clubs you will hear more real jazz than anywhere else in the world.
and Charles Lloyd

Bacteria that make rocket fuel as part of their metabolism are making sewage treatment less expensive and kinder to the environment, British researchers say.
The microbes, whose biology is baffling scientists, have also helped solve a long-standing mystery about the world's oceans, scientists reported in this week's issue of the journal Nature.
The bacteria, provisionally called "Brocadia anammoxidans," were discovered in a yeast plant in the Netherlands in the late 1990s. They consume ammonia and convert it into nitrogen gas, producing hydrazine, or rocket fuel, as part of the process known as the anammox reaction.
Although researchers are puzzled as to how the bacteria manage to contain the explosive compound, scientists have already put them to work breaking down the ammonia-rich waste from sewage and industrial effluent.
Nature reports the new anammox treatment plants consume less fuel and cause less pollution than conventional ones and might soon become commonplace around the world.

|df and "Value too large for defined data type"
|James Pearson <james-p@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
|Thu, 26 Feb 2004 13:49:49 +0000
|Moving Picture Company
I have a problem with df reporting "Value too large for defined data type" for file systems on a particular server. The problem occurs when using an NFS client running on a 2.6.3 kernel that mounts XFS file systems over NFS from a server running a 2.4.21 kernel with XFS 1.3 When I run df on these file systems using the 2.6.3 client I get: df: `/mnt/tmp': Value too large for defined data type However, running df on any other client running 2.4.X, or on the server itself works OK. Also, running df on the 2.6.3 client to any other NFS exported file system works OK. I initially thought this was an NFS issue, but it appears to be a problem with the number of inodes reported from the underlying XFS file system. My original posts to the NFS list can be seen via: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107762984200002&r=1&w=2 It appears the number of inodes that is being reported back to statfs() from this file system (from any client or on the server itself) is 2^64 - 1. On 2.4.X clients, the kernel routine just takes the lower 32 bits and doesn't complain. But on the 2.6.X client, it checks for the overflow and returns EOVERFLOW to statfs() - hence the error above. When I run 'df -i /disk2' on the 2.4.21 server, I get: Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sdc1 4294967295 3 4294967292 1% /disk2 df reports: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdc1 976428116 3744 976424372 1% /disk2 i.e. 2^32 - 1 inodes (which is in fact the lower 32 bits of 2^64 - 1) The server in question has an external 3.5TB RAID array, partitioned on the RAID into 4 separate volumes that are seen on the host server as separate LUNs. 3 of these devices are about 1TB, the forth is approx 500Gb. Each of 3 1TB devices have this problem, the 500Gb device reports sensible inode numbers (much less than 2^32) and hence df works OK when statfs'ing this file system from a 2.6.3 client. The question is why is this file system (and other similar file systems on the same file server) reporting so many available inodes? All the other XFS file systems on other servers of about 1TB (or more) report the number of inodes at much less than 2^32. The XFS file systems were initially made using a very old version of xfsprogs, but I've just remade one file system using v2.5.6-0 - and it still shows the same behaviour. xfs_info reports: meta-data=/disk2 isize=256 agcount=233, agsize=1048576 blks = sectsz=512 data = bsize=4096 blocks=244139797, imaxpct=25 = sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=1 naming =version 2 bsize=4096 log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=1 = sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks realtime =none extsz=65536 blocks=0, rtextents=0 Any idea as to what is going on?

14th Ranked Men's Hoop Falls to 0-2 in Conference Play with 76-69 Loss at Middlebury
January 19, 2002
Middlebury jumped out to an early 12-2 advantage and led by as many as 21 points in the first half. Amherst rebounded with a 17-1 run with 11:04 left in regulation to cut its deficit to just four points, 58-54. The host Panthers then countered with an 8-0 flurry for a 66-54 lead they would never relinquish, holding at least a five-point lead the rest of the way.
Junior forward Steve Zieja (Hadley, MA) paced Amherst with 23 points and 10 rebounds in defeat, while sophomore guard Adam Harper (Washington, DC) added 11 points. Eric Bundonis and Nate Anderson led Middlebury with 20 and 13 points, respectively.
The Jeffs return to action Tuesday at 7 p.m. at non-league foe Lassell College.

An eight-goal Jake Carlisle game helped Essendon come from behind to beat the Western Bulldogs, win the club's third match in a row and hold onto its top eight spot, in a game that left coach Mark Thompson grateful for his players' ability to muster a final-quarter effort.
The Bombers trailed by 20 points in the final term, but were able to level the scores 12 minutes in and go on to win by seven points, meaning the club will not concede its top eight spot should Collingwood and Gold Coast win when the split round concludes next week.
Carlisle's eight goals came with 12 marks, his performance coming after last week's 19-mark game against Collingwood and without Joe Daniher for company in the forward line. Daniher suffered a small crack in his clavicle after Cale Hooker fell on him at training last week, and may miss the Bombers' Friday night game against Sydney after their bye.
''Without him we wouldn't have won. He's kicked eight, so without him we would have been in a lot of trouble,'' said Thompson after the match.
''You'd have to imagine that he would be in a lot of confidence, and we're happy for him, we're really pleased. He's been incredible, really.
''I think in coaching, as one of your skills you need the nurturing skill and the teaching gene as well, that's what coaching is.
''You don't just coach performance, you actually develop and teach new skills based on your philosophies and your reading and your learnings along the way.
''We've still got a lot of work to do with a lot of our other players because we're nowhere near what our capability is as a club. I'm not sure he can keep that standard – I hope he does, it'd be great – and Joey [Daniher] is the next one, I'd like to see him kick a big back. He's a work in progress. There's a lot of work to do.''
Thompson, who plans to talk with James Hird on his return from France at the end of the month so that they can discuss how the coaching set-up will work should the Bombers play finals, was pleased with how a number of senior players handled the last quarter having seen the team fall four goals behind during the third and final quarters.
Jason Winderlich, Paul Chapman and Dyson Heppell were among the influential players in the last half-hour. Heppell's opponent, Mitch Wallis, struggled with a foot injury after cutting him out of the second and third quarters.
Bulldogs coach Brendan McCartney reminded his players after the game that it was the fifth time they had lost a game this season despite being close enough to win with a handful of minutes to play, and he believed Essendon handled the last 10 minutes better than his side did.
Without downplaying Carlisle's performance, McCartney believed his defenders allowed the Essendon forward to go one out against his direct opponent too often.
''You're not stiff when you look down at the stats sheet and they win almost everything in the last 10 minutes. Full credit to them. Did we have enough opportunities to nail the game? The answer is yes, but we're not stiff,'' said McCartney.
''Probably the essence of the talk with the players after the game is, I think it's game five now where with five or six minutes to go we're right in the game, and you can take that one of two ways as a group of coaches.
''It looked like a really good game. We're pleased we were a part of that. We're confident that our turn will come very soon, and it's there to win.''

Like wining and dining? There's another way to do it aside from booking a table at a restaurant and driving from one winery to another. Event's like the Taste of Yountville, part of the Yountville Live! extravaganza, give you the chance to nibble and tipple in the confines of a few city blocks.
Recently I ventured into the heart of the wine country and a culinary mecca — Yountville is home to the famous French Laundry — for a walk-around tasting of local wines and locally prepared foods.
Among the highlights of the afternoon included a fantastic pate from Bistro Jeanty, which paired wonderfully with a Clos du Val Chardonnay. I also had a soft spot for Bouchon's truffled fries, which were paired up with a silky Cab from Newton Vineyards. Other top-notch wines included Trefethen's Pinot Noir, drinking beautifully, and a Cabernet and unoaked Chardonnay from Alpha Omega — both knockouts.
It's always fun to visit Yountville, but I've never really done so much of it on foot. If you go — this annual event occurs every March — bring your appetite … and a hat!

Legal Affairs urged to get tough on defaulting First Federation tenants
Members of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) told a team from the Ministry of Legal Affairs that stronger measures should be taken to remove 30 tenants of the First Federation Building—17 of whom had tenancy agreements which expired since 1991, and 13 of whom never had agreements, and who owed rent amounting to the sum of $1.246 million.
The suggestion was made at yesterday's meeting of the PAC, which continued to review the 2010 Report of the Auditor General.
PAC Chairman Carl Greenidge took the opportunity to suggest that the ministry seek proper advice on better management of the building, since it was "exercising poor management of the premises." In response to these statements, the Permanent Secretary (PS) of the ministry explained that several letters were written to the tenants but they have not been responsive. When asked if legal action was ever considered to force compliance, the PS stated that the ministry had decided to hold off on moving to the courts because they wanted to give the individuals the opportunity to come forward and make payments, as some of them have done.
She also stated that the ministry was being very cautions in attempting to settle the matter due to the fact that many of the tenants occupying the building were lawyers. She stated that the ministry did not want to risk the possibility of being sued for breach of contract or anything of the sort.
The Auditor General's Report did state that of the amounts owed the ministry, it has been able to collect $248,000, leaving a deficit of $917,000. It added that letters were written by the Attorney General in 2012 for a settlement of the debts.
The ministry provided a document which stated that acting on the advice of Attorney General Anil Nandlall, letters dated May 14, 2012 were written to the defaulting occupants of the First Federation Building with regard to liquidating their indebtedness for rent owed for their occupancy of the rooms in the building. The document further stated that some persons came forwards to make payments and that to date $580,000 was paid. As a result, the figure being provided by the Auditor General's Report contradicted statements being made by the Ministry of Legal Affairs.
The team was also asked to answer questions concerning respective un-reconciled amounts totaling $10.55 million and $297,583, which were revealed by the State Solicitor and Official Bank Accounts.
A representative for the ministry said that a new cash book had to be created due to the fact that the old one could not be located. As a result, much of the old information was not included in the new book. She stated that this caused the amounts mentioned earlier to appear as being un-reconciled.
In the ministry's response to the Auditor General's report, it was stated that there was an un-reconciled difference of $12.904 million and $301.583 stated in the reconciliation as at December for account numbers 120 and 130, respectively, and that efforts were being made to reduce or eliminate these mounts; however, this was not achieved due to unavailability of receipts.
It was pointed out that once again, the figures provided by the Auditor General's Report clashed with what was contained in the ministry's report. The ministry explained that the $2.354 million is from a cheque that was sent to the Ministry of Finance to be updated, and subsequently deposited. The accountant stated that when she joined the institution in 2011, she met the cheque, which was already dated, and made a request for its updating. The cheque was sent to the Finance Ministry, and subsequently the Accountant General. Nothing has changed since.
The Accountant General stated that the change was not made because he saw it pointless to update a cheque if the ministry had no intention of paying it out. Officials of the ministry admitted that because of the time that has elapsed, they are unsure exactly who was supposed to receive the cheque, which means that the funds would be disbursed in to the funds intended for the ministry itself.
PPP/C MP Gail Teixeira made an enquiry of the Auditor General as to why the difference of millions was not included in the report that he submitted. He stated that the figure was omitted because he assumed that the cheque would have been updated and regularised.
The Auditor General's Report also stated that the ministry incurred losses due to companies that defaulted or failed to file annual returns.
The ministry in its response stated that notices were sent out to defaulting companies, informing them that if payments were not made by a stipulated time, they would be struck from the list of registered companies. The PS stated that the aspect of the recovery of the money was a matter for the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA). She shared that once struck form the register, companies must remain unregistered until their books are in order, after which they would be allowed to re-register at the cost of $800.
On this matter, several committee members made suggestions that the registration cost should be increased to serve as deterrence to this kind of behaviour by companies.
The PS said that the ministry is looking to be able to punish companies who default on their obligations in this regard on a continuous basis. The ministry's report stated that it has since been able to recover $236,000.
The ministry also faced question about seven officers who had been overpaid net salaries and related deductions totaling $201,802. The ministry's response to the Auditor General's finding stated that letters were sent to ex-employees requesting repayment of the amounts overpaid and relevant deductions from various agencies refunded.
Specific amounts overpaid included $43,659 to a former Accounts Clerk II, $43,129 to a former driver, $121,358 to a former State Counsel and $262,604 to a former Parliamentary Counsel
Representatives from the ministry indicated that these could not be located, which is making recollection very difficult, and no recoveries have been made to date.
As it relates to the issue, PPP/C MP Odinga Lumumba suggested that considering the amount, he believes all that can be done is to urge the institution to become more aggressive in the attempt to recover these funds, and make a report of their progress when next they appear before the PAC.

Program support
The program requires funds for general operating costs including publications, communications, and educational and enrichment materials for shelters.
Veterinary student training
To enhance their shelter skills, veterinary students need support to travel to shelters outside of Tompkins County to gain experience or to attend training workshops.
Intern and Resident training
Shelter interns/residents need funds to travel to shelters throughout the U.S. to help those shelters solve problems, improve their operations, and learn in the process.
Medical & Diagnostic Supplies
The shelter program needs funds to diagnose the cause of disease outbreaks and treat medical problems identified in shelter animals.
The shelter program currently operates on a limited-time grant. An endowment would secure the future of the shelter program that provides veterinary training and services to shelters throughout New York and surrounding states.

coolant system again- Coolant in Expansion Tank refuse to go down
Hello, today I was draining my coolant. I only removed the radiator drain plug.(while leaving the block drain plug alone) At the end, I got about 1/2 of gallon out. when I got up from under the car, I noticed that the coolant in the expansion tank did not go down. Also there were no hot air coming out of the vents inside the car. I then put back everything and started the engine in hope of lowering the coolant tank level. It kind of worked, and I put in about the same amount of distilled water in. after I turned off the engine, I tried to bleed the system, but no air bubbles nor fluid emerged from the bleeding hole. (even when I squeezed the hoses) I can hear the air being sucked back in the hose when I released it. I also tried pouring water into the bleeding hole, but I don't know if it does anything. I put everything back together and heated the engine to operating temp. Which hose should be hot?(upper, lower, or both) because my lower hose was hot while the upper one remain the same. I squeezed the upper hose and I didn't feel alot of resistance. Could this be because of the pump? I have read some of the threads and diagnosed that my radiator and/or expansion tank connection might be clogged, may be my thermostat is busted again(replaced year and a half ago). I don't want to take the system apart until I can get some advice from the forum, because it seems to be working right now (ie not over-heating or at least that is what the gauge is telling me) Is there a way to check the function of the thermostat and water pump without removing them?(like feeling the resistance and temperature of the hoses?) I will have to worry about the heated air when winter comes. Thank you in advance for your help.

When you squeeze the upper radiator hoses, does the level in the expansion tank change at all? Any bubles?
You took out the plug at the bottom of your radiator and the tank didn't empty? never heard of that
faulty thermostat would result in your engine taking forever if at all to get to the middle part of the gauge
bad water pump could be your engine overheating or it making an awful noise.
no matter what, sounds like your due for a cooling system overhaul
You cant spend all your time worrying about where your next Twinkie is going to come from, so follow rule #32 and Enjoy The Little Things.
There is heat all of a sudden. I think it might just be the hot day that made the air vent seem disfunctional. Though I am still confused by the expansion tank not draining normally. When I squeezed the upper hose, coolant is squirted out a very small hole (smaller than 1/16) within the expansion tank on the side closest to the bleed screw. This is the same with the lower hose. Also there seem to be a little bit of pressure and heat in the upper hose when I started the engine again. It takes about 10 min for the gauge to reach normal temp. I haven't heard any awful noise(please define)
Check the coolant system bleeding in the diy section in Ed's sticky or on pelican parts website. You should have the front of the car in the air, and the defroster on, along with a bunch of other stuff.

O yea, I followed the Bentley and the Haynes manuals. I have also read Pelican parts website along with some other DIY sites. Would the front of the vehicle being elevated affect the expansion tank/radiator? I did have the temperature to max. Has this happened to anyone else? I bought this car 3 months ago. I should of changed the coolant earlier, but I was busy. It still seems to be working fine(operationally) I would need to add more coolant in, because it will be winter soon. I have been running 70% water to 30%coolant.(I just kept adding distilled water) I don't know how to get the right mixture if it refuse drain properly. I am now affraid to drain the coolant in the engine block because I might not be able to refill the coolant due to the faulty expansion tank/radiator. My next step would be to flush the radiator. I am hoping to get some confirmation from the forum before spending more and more $.
Hey, funny thing, I just stumbled upon this post today after posting my e36 issue on bimmerforums. I have the EXACT set of symptoms as you do. I've been thinking that the expansion tank hose was clogged but ive just been putting off doing anything yet until i find out what other people think the problem might be. I drained the engine block too, but still, the expansion tank level didn't drop. I noticed there was a problem when i started adding in the 10 total liters expected to go into the expansion tank, but was full at only 6 liters. I also noticed the expansion tank level was high (only on the left side furthest from the radiator) even after everything was drained from the cooling system. The coolant should flow properly even if the thermostat is bad, it just won't get to your engine. I'll be checking in and out of your post for updates and I'll let you know if i find anything out. If you find a solution, please post it!

The solution to this has been covered a bazillion times. It's in the stickies at the top of the forum like criss cross said. Our cars are a real pain to get the cooling system properly bled of trapped air. Look to have to do it more than once. The tell-tale is the heater output. If you can't get heat (lots of it, continuously) from the heater, the system is still air-locked.

i must have got REALLY lucky.... becuase i ran my car dry... it heated up. i turned it off i added coolant
drive more... heated up.
let the pressure out... more coolant
Got hot. let pressure out... more coolant
Did this until it would stop going over half. heater works and no problems every since.
So last night I took my Car to my auto club and talked to a couple of experienced old guys. their explanation of the coolant in the expansion tank not going down because there were no suction in the system.(can anyone else verify this?) They also confirmed for me that the thermostat and the pump is working. We kinda bleed the system a different way. Ran the car(engine, heater and defrost) with the bleeding screw in and expansion cap removed. There were bubbles coming out and he rev'd the engine in order to keep the suction going(so the coolant does not overflow out of the expansion tank). Some coolant spilled. I am going to refill some more coolant this morning. I understand what these sticky's are because at the top of the forum there are only 5 sticky's and none of them to do with coolant. I found a thread in Bimmerforum http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1173975 and I am going to contact the guy to see how he managed to solve his issue.

Okay ladies & gents, brace yourselves because I have a seriously stupid question for you. Last week I performed a total cooling system overhaul and was able to successfully bleed all the air out without any trouble. The car has been running beautifully, and everything is working perfectly, but I did notice that my coolant level is about 5 inches below the "cold/kalt" mark on the expansion tank when the engine is bone cold in the morning. That said, as soon as I open up the filler cap to add coolant, the system pressure neutralizes and the coolant level quickly raises up above the cold/kalt line, leaving me little room to add coolant. Seems like someone is playing a practical joke on me... The coolant level is a tad low when the cap is on, and a tad high as soon as I take the cap off... What gives? It's like trying to hit a moving target.
I would like to clarify that I do not have any leaks, and have never received a low coolant warning. It's been at this level ever since I did the overhaul last week and the needle has always stayed at 12 o'clock.

If you still have enough pressure in the AM when the system is cold to keep the coolant forced down in the tank, you don't have any leaks. Put just enough in to bring it to the kalt mark when cold before romoving the cap, then quit worrying about it and drive.

The Greens have 10 lower house representatives across the country after former education minister
Mr Parker is the party's first representative to claim a lower house seat in NSW.
Greens MP
Ms Firth fell to third place at the weekend behind Liberal candidate James Falk.
Mr Parker is expected to win by about 1000 votes. His win strikes a symbolic blow to Labor. According to lore, Balmain's Unity Hall was the birthplace of the Labor Party in 1891. The seat has only once been lost, to Olympian Dawn Fraser, who ran as an independent in 1988.
Federal government frontbencher
"The Greens tend to be a grab-bag of issues, tend not to have a coherent policy that adds up and don't try to represent the majority of the Australian people," he told Sky News.

He said that the "good news" was that the Greens wouldn't have the balance of power.

"Stuff breaks, and it's always going to break, and people feel responsible to call," he says. "We would get bogged down with the 'I-can't-use-this-or-that' type of calls." Problem was, IT was already aware of the problem and didn't need to waste resources fielding hundreds of redundant calls.
The college's IT team tackled the problem using a few different strategies, Little says.
It implemented a strict policy that IT wouldn't take a system down without sending notices to users and the help desk in advance. IT also must post notices at the top of the college's website home page when systems go down.
And the help desk now sets up an automated message during outages so users calling to report it know right away that IT's already on the case, a move that's dropped calls from upwards of a few hundred a week to a just few stray callers.
Run your best help desk
Running an efficient help desk is key to spotting persistent problems that unnecessarily zap energy and time from support personnel.
Yet consultants and trainers say many help desks still don't have in place many of the basic practices and tools required to run a lean organization capable of identifying and addressing such requests.
Some key requirements for an effective help desk include:
- The right people. Even if the calls are basic and repetitive, your staff needs to remain courteous and helpful, says HDI managing director Craig Baxter. After all, the help desk is the only interaction many workers have with IT, so you want to make sure it's always positive.
- Good incident management practices. Effective help desks follow a consistent and disciplined procedure to resolve requests that come in, so staff, typically with the aid of software, know how to collect relevant information, fix what they can, escalate problems they can't fix and set expectations with users so they're not left frustrated, Baxter says.
- A way to identify most frequent problems. "Even if you have lousy software, even if it's a help desk person making hash marks in categories, it's critical for you to have this to identify [problem areas]," says Donna Earl, owner of Help Desk Coach, a consultancy and training service based in San Francisco and London.
- Someone to analyze reports. It's no good to simply track problem frequency; you need a staff member to be able to identify the most common types of calls and track repeat callers, how long calls take to resolve and the cost the business incurs because of the initial problem, says Ken Hayes, director of continual service improvement in technology support services at Technisource Inc. The next step is to solve recurring problems through software upgrades or procedural changes or by offering personalized training to repeat callers.

Magical Meranda sends Brady through
Brady Maccabi Whites edged home thanks to a last-minute winner to break Hendon hearts in a gripping first round tie in the MJFL Cup competition.
Brady Maccabi Whites edged home thanks to a last-minute winner to break Hendon hearts in a gripping first round tie in the MJFL Cup competition.
Sunday saw a real humdinger of a cup tie in the a game that was finely balanced throughout.
Brady's stand-in captain, Jamie Brooks, put in a great performance in the defensive midfield role under some constant Hendon pressure. However, Brady had some good early possession with Nathan DaCosta trying his luck with an early long-range effort.
Brady forged ahead following a period of possession midway through the first half when Jamie Brooks converted a penalty with calm precision.
A goal to the goal, Brady were hit by injuries to Jayden Meranda and Danny Leboff and they struggled to keep the ball after the restart as Hendon drew level.
However, Brady pulled together, with Jack Durban, Jack Linch and Ryan Lipman working tirelessly to win challenges, and Samuel Jaffe switching the play across the pitch.
A well-taken goal from Samuel Adams saw Brady take a 2-1 lead, but they were then pegged back in controversial circumstances when Hendon Blue scored an equaliser after the referee had already blown his whistle. Nevertheless, with five minutes to play Jayden Meranda returned to the fray and with fired home the winner with his team's final attack.
Brady manager Perry Linch said: "This was a fantastic cup tie, with end-to-end attacking football and both teams putting on a great show for their fans.
"Thankfully the Brady quality showed at the critical stage of the match."

Yeah. I had read that FAQ entry; it is what prompted me to ask the
question the way I did. I still maintain the FAQ for ipfilter is a bit
ambiguous-- only mentioning rdr. Perhaps there's another facility or
combination of facilities that could accomplish the same thing. For
instance, there's no *one* command that will accomplish this in
iptables. However, using a combination of two commands, viola!
The reason for my persistence is the fine line between "impossible" and
"not supported".

Theme Park Gives Discount To Women In Miniskirts
A theme park in Guilin, China is giving a discount to women if they wear a skirt shorter than 38 centimeters. Merryland Resort's Love Miniskirts discount runs for the next two months and is the sixth year it has thrown the event. "The stipulation aims to encourage female visitors to showcase their beauty in summer," the deputy manager of the park, told Shanghai Daily newspaper. As you can see in the video above, women actually get their skirts measured with rulers before entering the park. Seems reminiscent of Catholic school rules to me, but in a completely opposite, exploitative way. Anyway, that theme park must be a creep's paradise! Do you think discounts for miniskirts are gross or would you happily don a miniskirt if it got you in the gates with a cheaper ticket? [Telegraph UK]

Jiangsu authority denies forced demolition after violent video goes viral
Officials deny conspiring with developer to bully villagers
Officials in the coastal Jiangsu province have denied conspiring with a developer to intimidate villagers into agreeing to forced demolitions after a video clip showing alleged brutal treatment of residents went viral.
The full video, which emerged on the internet on Saturday, is a series of edited clips allegedly showing Suqian's Diche village party secretary Zhang Zaixian teaming up with thugs to physically bully villagers into complying with his demolition plans.
The video allegedly shows the gang brutally roughing up locals and forcing a school owner to sign a consent letter for the demolition of a local private school.
The clip was made by the school's owner according to the video's description. In the video he says that Zhang ordered over 200 thugs to illegally detain his school staff and demolish the school on August 10.
"We are fighting [the local government] with blood everyday. Any righteous man please save us," a subtitle of the video clip reads.
The video clip, particularly a scene where several men are seen throwing an elderly man into a small pond and then forcing a young man's head under the water, has sparked widespread outrage online. Many internet users have called for a thorough investigation into the claims made in the video.
A district official of Suqian on Sunday denied the government's involvement in the clash, calling it an economic dispute between the school owner and local villagers, Southern Metropolis Daily said on Monday.
According to officials' accounts, local teacher Li Shijin built the school in 2003 on a 11.6-acre land rented from villagers for an annual fee of 28000 yuan. They claimed that as the school closed down three years ago and the rental fee barely came to half its market price amid soaring land prices, villagers resorted to violence in their eagerness to retake the land.
The elderly and two other individuals roughly treated in the video were the tenant's family members, the official told the newspaper. He said they provoked a row after they tried to block a bulldozer operated by land owners to clean the demolished school's ruins.
Police said the violent confrontations did not result in serious injuries, but promised to further investigate the incident, the report said.

Scientist Dr. Jack Griffin's experiment finally worked – he is now the Invisible Man. But at what cost? Join the mad scientist as he evades the police in this tense video slot from NetEnt. Taking its style cues from the 1933 movie of the same name, including creepy film score-style background music, The Invisible Man slot continues NetEnt's epic Universal movies slot series.
The slot has three rows, five reels, and a fantastic 20 paylines, allowing you to bet between 20p and £10 per spin. Aim to match three or more symbols, from the standard A, J, Q, K and 10 symbols to the distinctive film characters like the beer-guzzling Mr Hall. Griffin's sophisticated fiancée Flora Cranley is the highest ranking symbol – matching five of her will win you an impressive 500 coins.
The game includes two separate wild symbols – Police Wild and Griffin Wild. Both wilds walk across the reels, meaning they are often in play for more than one spin, and substitute for all other symbols. Having one on the reel also activates a re-spin, giving you more chances to win incredible prizes. If the Police and Griffin Wilds merge together on the reels during the main game, ten free spins will be activated, and if the two wilds merge during a free spin, you'll get four more free spins.
Bonus games are activated during free spins, and begin if eight wilds appear to fill the meter above the reels. During the Police Spins round the detective promises: "I'll lay traps that even an invisible man can't pass!" He shoots at the reels to turn five symbols into burning wilds, while you play an additional three free spins.
Collecting eight Griffin Wilds during the free spins activates the Griffin's Rage bonus game. The mad scientist announces "Let the terror begin!" before allowing you to visit three locations and watch him cause havoc. Click to reveal prizes throughout your journey, adding to your running coin total for the bonus game.
Another great feature of this slot is that you can win both ways. This simply means that winning paylines can be activated from right to left, as well as the standard left to right, effectively doubling your paylines and increasing the chances of a win.
Like any good horror film, this game will keep you gripped as the tension rises.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
they had beach tags for all adults not enough parking spaces. had to find a spot on the street for the second car.
Location was great as far as in being close to the boardwalk and walking distance to everything. Suites are a plus for multiple people. Didn't like how small the rooms were and no bathtubs, only showers. Office is not open, you have to call for check-in/service. Pool is the size of a bathtub. Beds are super squeaky lol.
Location great - easy walk to boardwalk and beach). Kitchenette allowed me to economize on meals by 'eating in.' Price fit my needs. Staff was helpful and friendly. Would recommend to others as long as they were comfortable with things I didn't like. Quarters rather cramped, especially rear bed area. Barely room to climb around bed. bathroom extremely small. Plumbing antiquated, shower extremely small, and door didn't close easily.
Only 2 blocks from the boardwalk, everything within walking distance of hotel Only thing that was wrong with our stay was the AC in our room was not quite working, and when I asked the woman at the front desk about it she said,'I get someone to come look at it when I get time to'. And no one ever came to look at the AC unit.
Great location The room was not very clean and very small
It was two blocks from the boardwalk and in a central location to everything we wanted. I also liked the service we had from the desk attendant. When there was a problem he fixed it right away. The beds were terrible, probably the worst that I have ever slept on which made for two very sleepless nights.
The location was extremely convenient to Ocean City, yet affordable by not being right in town.
Clean rooms, short drive accross bridge to Ocean City.
Renovation in progress Loud due to bridge building site and renovation of other rooms. very unclean appearance
It was fairly close to the ocean, allowed for only one night on a summer weekend, had rooms available, and was relatively inexpensive for that area Really run down. Very dingy and small.
Nothing They obviously spend as little money as possible on the upkeep of this place. Room smelled like old smoke and bleach at first, but then morphed into a cat urine smell. No obvious updates in decades: broken furniture, ratty office chair that belonged on the curb, nasty curtains, couch, etc. Layered couch with newspaper (just to place suitcase on, never sat on it), only touched surfaces through a napkin , never let bare feet touch the rug. But that wasn't even the worst: killed 5 or 6 insects (not sure what kind, fruit fly, but bigger) by the next morning, there were even more - like 10 or more all in the bathroom. Hightailed it out of there at 7am!
We enjoyed our stay, the room was nice and comfortable We were disappointed with the amount of food left for the breakfast at 9:30, there were no donuts, very little amount to pick from just bread and the jelly was stale.
The honesty and willingness to serve of employees Cleanliness - lack there of
Very very clean & comfortable! I will go back and send my best friend anytime. But breakfast was very simple!
Our stay was fine. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and wireless internet was available at no charge. However, the staff was "English-Challenged" where it was difficult at check-in time. Also, the towels & washcloths were "Spartan", not absorbent nor soft. Soap consisted of two small bars, one bar was barely able to accomodate to showers. No, it met aour requirements for sleep and reasonable comfort at a good price and value.
Friendly staff, extremely reasonable, new comforters, sheets, flat screen tv and internet access, small refrigerator, microwave, quiet (on the weekdays). A good value. I made the suggestion to have conditioner in the room, they only provided shampoo
Budget motel close to AC. Clean but basic.
Close proximity to Atlantic City. Cheap ratty bedspread. No comforter on bed! Bed felt a little soft.
The rooms were very clean; Breakfast was very good we had waffles, omelette and muffins the room was a big size and had a nice sized bathroom It was a bit pricy as we booked on the day of a big show in Atlantic CIty..
everything went very well none
everything was very good. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable and there were several different pillow types to choose from. hostess was very polite, location was perfect for my trip. I will not hesitate to stay here again when I'm in the area. I have paid 4X more and gotten less at other area hotels, 2X more for some campsites. Tremendous value. I only have two suggestions to improve what as a very good stay. 1 - I stayed in room 106 and the door did not seal tight when closed. 2 - I like thicker towels and bath linens.
Good beds and good TV, mini fridge and microwave. Poor internet (bandwidth limited and unreliable maid service... hidden charge of $5 per night for "booking.com" reservation.
very disappointed with staff cane to room at 8:30a did not knock and did not appologize when went to desk to complain did not care, door to room was very difficult to open and close. would not say there again.
Room was awesome with flat screen tv, coffee machine, microwave and beds were very comfortable. super clean. friendly staff and Atlantic city is only 10 minutes away from this hotel...I Recommend this hotel for Great price rather than staying in the casino and spending over 300 dollars...Great Hotel.
Great value! Stayed there for two nights and it was worth every penny. Location is perfect and staff was very friendly! Would definitely stay here again!
Easy check-in, big bed, well-lit room, plenty of parking Room was frigid upon arrival, dog fee was more than the room, remote control was ancient
We were planning to go to Ocean City, but everything was so expensive. This place surprised us with the value for its price. Breakfast included and the staff was helpful. The only thing I would change is perhaps just making it a bit cleaner and open the windows everytime they thoroughly clean the carpet. The chemicals could be overwhelming to some customers.
Nothing There were bugs crawling all over the filthy beds. After 20 minutes in the room, we noticed this and left. Guy at the desk argued with us over it and was extremely rude. Trying to get a refund for this. Don't stay here
Close Proximity to AC and OC beaches. Price. Lots of restaurants around. Rooms was big. Nice TV. Easy access from main roads. Room had ants. Bed was uncomfortable and hard. Towels were tiny and not fluffy. Paint was peeling off wall. No microwave. Not all lights worked. Shower pressure was terrible. Front desk staff was unorganized. Knob to AC was broken.
Umm, it wasn't too far from the casino's? Yes, It was a question. Overall poor hotel. Not some place we would have stayed had there been other available options.
We stayed here because we wanted to spend the weekend at Atlantic City but all of the places directly in AC were a bit too pricy. This place worked out well. Everything was pretty clean. The room was big. We had everything we needed. There were a few of those really tiny ants in the sink but honestly it's not a big deal.
nothing everything
Nothig Close down the moel for renovation
Checking out in the morning was awesome! This quite possibly was the worst motel/hotel I have ever had the displeasure of staying in. There were blood stains on the blanket! No lie. The room smelled like somebody's bed ridden grandmother lived there. There were hairs in the sink that did not belong to me. How unnerving is that? Did I mention that there was a blood stain on the blanket. I'm watching Training Day on the tube, 'bout to take a a siesta, I unfold the blanket, only to reveal a burgundy colored stain about the size of a Vienna sausage! The manager of the building was some East Indian guy, and he had his teenage son running errands. The fact that he was from the Indian subcontinent is irrelevant. The fact is that he was a b.s. artist to the ninth degree.
proximity to places of interest. poor value for money; pathetic facilities; bad & old furniture; no customer service.
It smelled, had flies, dirty pillows, broken microwave, it's the worse place I ever stayed.
The location was conveniently close to Atlantic City. It was digusting. The first room they gave us a key for, when I opened the door, the room hadnt been cleaned from the last person. So they gave me another room. We went into that room, and it was supposed to be a non-smoking room. It wasnt. It smelled like a wet ash tray & there was a ash tray on the table.
One of the workers of the hotel went into our room when we were gone and went through all of our belongings. We caught the worker in the room when we came back from beach. We had to call the police. We did not feel comfortable staying the night there, but hotel refused to give us our money back. After much battle between the hotel, police, and me, I was able to get part of our money back. I did not like anything. The hotel was extremely dirty and not taken care of at all. Having a worker of the hotel in our room was scary and unprofessional. They were looking for money, but thankfully we had our purses with us. I think that you should take this listing off of your website.
Well, I stayed here because it was cheap! The room wasn't as clean as some of the hotels on the boardwalk, but it wasn't disgusting.
This was the cheapest hotel to stay at during the weekend and worked out very well for us.
Thank you for a nice staff and good performance
Comfortable bed, mostly clean Did not have the amenities promised, coffeemaker dirty
Owner was very nice Place smelled awful, chairs in room were stained/smelly, we checked in which took 10 minutes went to room there was food already in the fridge from previous residents, the smell of spices or incense caused me to have an asthma attack we left after 10 minutes owner asked if all was ok on our way out we said yes rather than hurt his feelings - You get what you pay for and we didn't ask for refund instead moved to a $271 per night clean oceanfront resort. Photo of room was accurate 10 years ago - now looks like a method lab crime scene from Law and Order or Criminal Minds8
The hot water didn't get real hot
Our room was a little dirty. We ordered a roll away bed and received no pillows or blankets for the bed.
The staff does not even speak a good english. I will never recommended that hotel.
The location being relatively close to Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City made attending the A10 Basketball tournament easily accessable. We booked a room with a king size bed but when we arrived we were told, rather curtly, that we were in a double and that we would only have maid service once during our four day stay. The young lady seemed unconcerned in telling us this. They did replace the towells daily if we put the used towells outside our door. The facility, furniture and interior are old and not well kept. Some electrical outlets did not work, especially the one in the sink area where the hair dryer was that didn't work either. Paint was bad, wallpaper coming off, baseboards loose and black mold behind the loose baseboards in the bathroom. Bathtub had no stopper so taking a bath wasn't possible. Furniture was a shambles. Falling apart, drawers broken, etc.
I liked the comfortable bed the cleanliness of the room and the jacuzzi in my room
Good staff. Generally clean rooms. Some dust accumulation on lamps no longer in use in room.
The person in charge of the hotel was really pleasant and helpful for everything. The room was smelling really bad (cigarette). The bed cover was really old with some burn on it. The light in the room was not working. The place need really to be take care of it. I will never fo there anymore and I won't recommend this place to anyone.
The only positive thing was that it was right off the express way & checking out meant dropping your key in a mailbox so u could get out of the dump asap. Basically everything... Manager didn't assign us a non smoking room, even though booked 4 months in advance. Then argued with us that we didn't book it in time. When we got to see the second room the sink didn't work, the wallpaper was coming off (due to the fungus growing behind it), the rug+chairs+sheets had stains in them, there was a thick layer of dust on the cupboard. Further more the bed had life in it besides us, lay awake all night due to itching. Emailed the manager about the sink so it wouldn't get charged on our credit card and she even started a bit of an arguement.
Location was the only redeeming factor. The hotel was not three stars. Would rate 1.5 max. Poor value for price paid. Could hear conversation in adjacent rooms.

"I am coming this Saturday with my mom," Thornton said by phone Monday night. "I just want to see the academic program and what kind of environment. I want to see the stadium, because it's my first time in Gainesville."
Muschamp and company have been impressed with the pass rusher, enough to offer him a scholarship to play at Florida. They also want him to be sure he makes the right choice when he does, because Muschamp is one of those coaches that doesn't care for commitments to be shopping around and looking elsewhere.
"I talked to Coach Muschamp and he said they really like my game film," he said. "They told me to take my time and don't make a commitment yet until you are done seeing the schools. Don't just make a commitment and then have to de-commit. He really wants me up there."
"It is an honor to have an offer from Florida," he said. "I also was a Florida State fan and got an offer from there too. I haven't made a commitment yet, and am planning on taking my time with it.
"Even though I like Florida and it has been my school since I was little, I just want to go there and get to the know the school and coaches and get comfortable with the environment."
Thornton is from Prichard, AL Vigor High School and the in-state school is also on him. He says it is okay and he understands they will be, but he is really trying to look elsewhere to attend college.
"I just stay humble," he said. "I talk to Alabama, but really haven't talked to Auburn. I have been looking forward to going out of state. I am not saying there is anything wrong with Alabama, I just want to get out of state to a place like Florida."
FOX Sports NEXT national recruiting analyst Chad Simmons has seen limited film on Thornton so far as he didn't start his sophomore year. Still, Simmons saw enough to be impressed with his pass rushing skills.
"He's a long and lean rush end, more of a weak side defensive end type," Simmons said. "He is rangy with a good first step off the ball and has to get stronger at the point of attack. He has a lot of raw ability and has long arms to keep offensive linemen off of his body. I think he could push top five in the state of Alabama after we see more film on him."
Thornton says he plans on being in Gainesville early in the morning on Saturday and then will likely stay the night. Stay tuned to FightinGators.com as we follow up his visit to Florida from the weekend.

Evansville Native Don Mattingly Reunites with His 1980's Mustache on Monday's Tonight Show [VIDEO]
During his playing days as First Baseman for the New York Yankees in the 1980's, Evansville native Don "Donnie Baseball" Mattingly rocked a pretty impressive lip curtain. But over time, for whatever reason, Mattingly and his iconic man fur parted ways until reuniting Monday night during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Mattingly, now the manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is New York for the next few days for a series against the New York Mets. Fallon, a huge Yankees fan, referenced both Mattingly and his mustache during Monday night's monologue, going as far as having the 'stache sit in with The Roots. That's when Mattingly came in for special reunion.

Pattern love in effect! This is such a great pattern with all of the variations in garments to be made. From the cowl neck top to the dolman sleeve cardigan to the pleated wrapped top, what's not to like about this pattern?
Fabric & Notions
- a little less than 2 yards of rayon-lycra jersey
- serger & thread
Alterations & Fit
I made a muslin out of some thicker rayon-lycra jersey that I had from an older project. I cut and sewed a straight size 16 according to my bust measurements. The top is a bit roomy in the back, but that's because I didn't do a swayback adjustment. I didn't make an FBA or do any adjustments at all. I think the fit is pretty good. There are a couple of wrinkles near the bust, but I think that's to be expected since the sleeves are raglan-style instead of set in.
There's not much to sewing this pattern. I didn't take any in-progress shots because it sews up very quickly. There are five pieces: bodice front/back, sleeve front/back, and the cowl. If you've ever sewn a simple knit shirt, sewing this is just as easy.
The cowl is HUGE and cut in a single layer of fabric on the bias. Since I had enough fabric to make another top, I opted to cut this cowl on the straight grain. The drape doesn't appear to be affected by this.
I love love love this top! I wore it under my Vogue 1036 jacket. My students wondered why I was so "dressed up" today. Jeans and a denim jacket is dressed up? I think I am officially OLD.
UFO Tally:
5. Vogue 8426 (on deck)
Until next time, peace!

Agency for Natural Resources and EnergyMETI Minister Motegi Had a Meeting with Premier Christy Clark of British Columbia, Canada, and Signed a Memorandum
On December 2, 2013, Mr. Toshimitsu Motegi, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, had a meeting in Tokyo with the Honourable Christy Clark, Premier of British Columbia, Canada, and signed a memorandum on energy cooperation and development.
Several LNG projects are currently under development in British Columbia, a western province of Canada. Canada is one of Japan's most important partner countries in terms of advancing diversification of energy supply sources in order to secure a competitive and stable supply of LNG.
To import LNG from Canada, some issues, including the development of infrastructure, such as LNG terminals and pipelines, expeditious processing of permits and licensing, and LNG tax needs to be solved.
Policy dialogues with British Columbia are extremely important for Japan to solve such issues. In light of such recognition, Minister Motegi met with Premier Clark to exchange views on specific measures for LNG supply from Canada to Japan at competitive prices. At the same time, both sides signed a Memorandum on Energy Cooperation and Development between The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan ("METI") and The Government of the Province of British Columbia, Canada ("BC"), which mentions the establishment of an annual high-level meeting.
In response to the memorandum, on December 3, 2013, METI will hold the first high-level meeting with British Columbia and discuss policies in detail.
