New task force will help galvanize music industry in Ottawa
Ottawa – The City of Ottawa, together with the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition (OMIC), will spearhead a task force of music and film industry leaders to develop a Music Strategy for Ottawa. Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Jeff Leiper made the announcement today during the "Ottawa as a Music City" panel discussion at the Innovation Centre.
OMIC is a not-for-profit, membership-based organization dedicated to growing the city's music industry for the benefit of its artists, businesses, and the city as a whole. Since it was formed in 2015, a direct result of the City's Renewed Action Plan for Arts, Heritage and Culture, OMIC has:
- developed relationships between its members and the national industry, the City and the community-at-large;
- delivered music-focussed programming in partnership with the City, Ottawa 2017, and the JUNO Awards;
- conducted important research on developing the industry in Ottawa.
The City of Ottawa and OMIC will work with a task force of music and film industry partners, as well as other business leaders, to develop a strategy that will strengthen and grow our music industry, as well as other cultural sectors in Ottawa.
In order for OMIC to conduct the research and consultation work required to develop this Music Strategy, the City is investing $30,000.
"Live music is a growth industry in Ottawa. It shapes our identity and who we are as a city. In addition to the cultural benefits, a thriving music industry helps to level the playing field for our homegrown companies who are competing to attract talent from around the world. This music strategy will be part of the legacy of the 2017 JUNOs happening in Ottawa."
Mayor Jim Watson, City of Ottawa
"Music is one of Ottawa's great assets. We have incredible music talent, dedicated music entrepreneurs, and vibrant music scenes. Developing a municipal music strategy is about bringing together industry and government to create an environment that nurtures music's transformative potential. As a representative of Ottawa's music industry, OMIC is excited and proud to have the opportunity to work with the City and business leaders from connected sectors on this important step for the growth of our music industry and for the growth of our city."
Andrew Vincent, Executive Director of the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition (OMIC)
The Government of Canada provides funding in support of Arts Court and the Ottawa Art Gallery
The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, today announced that the City of Ottawa is receiving $5,250,000 to fund the expansion of the Ottawa Art Gallery and the redevelopment of the Arts Court building. She also announced that the Ottawa Art Gallery is receiving an additional $1,300,000 for specialized equipment to outfit their new space.
This funding will help the City of Ottawa continue to house 26 not-for-profit arts organizations and to display the Ottawa Art Gallery's vast collection for local residents and visitors alike.
This funding has been made possible thanks to the unprecedented investment of nearly $170,000,000 for cultural spaces over two years in the 2016 Budget. These investments will help strengthen the middle class with new jobs, provide opportunities for families to access the arts in their own communities, and create spaces for artists and artisans to perfect their craft and ensure that Canada's unique perspective is shared with the world
"Arts Court is a great example of an institution that allows the arts to grow in our communities by creating a home for local talent. I am proud that our government can help support their great work. Investing in Canada's cultural sector helps create jobs for the middle class and grow our economy."
—The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage
"I am pleased to see the Government of Canada invest generously in the new Ottawa Art Gallery Expansion and Arts Court Redevelopment project, and in our local arts sector. A vibrant and thriving arts and culture scene stimulates our city's economic growth, and makes Ottawa an attractive destination for tourism, business and talented professionals."
—Jim Watson, Mayor of the City of Ottawa
"Ottawa is replete with amazing national cultural institutions, and it also has a thriving and growing regional arts scene. So it is wonderful to see the Government of Canada recognize this and support the Ottawa Art Gallery Expansion and Arts Court Redevelopment project!"
—Alexandra Badzak, Director and CEO of the Ottawa Art Gallery
Quick Facts
- Arts Court is located in the historic 1870 Carleton County Courthouse in downtown Ottawa.

"Next year, our rich, vibrant and diverse Arts Community will find a new home in Ottawa's premier arts hub: the newly expanded and renovated Ottawa Art Gallery and Arts Court facility," said Mayor Jim Watson.

"There are many priorities in any municipality but great cities can attest to culture remaining one of the key pillars, and Ottawa is no exception. On behalf of the Ottawa Art Gallery, we thank Mayor Watson for his inspired support of the arts in our city and his leadership on the OAG Expansion and Arts Court Redevelopment project," said Alexandra Badzak, Ottawa Art Gallery's Director & CEO.

October 6th, 2016 – New murals were officially showcased today on Queen Elizabeth Drive and Colonel By Drive under the Laurier Avenue Bridge. This is the third year of the Murals on Underpasses program intended to feature local artists and beautify the City.
"These underpasses are key gateways to Ottawa's downtown, and it's only fitting that the artists have celebrated the historical and social significance of the Rideau Canal," said Mayor Jim Watson. "These murals are fun and whimsical and yet help document Ottawa's unique communities and their histories."
Somerset Ward Councillor Catherine McKenney and Rideau-Vanier Ward Councillor Mathieu Fleury also participated in today's showcase.
Queen Elizabeth Drive
Artists: Cassandra Dickie and Dodo Ose
This mural is a surrealist approach to the evolution of the Rideau Canal, inspired by a combination of double exposure photography and watercolour technique. Large historical images and smaller detailed contemporary scenes reflect a journey down the canal, from nature to urban sprawl, summer to winter, and past to present.
Colonel By Drive
Artist: Ryan Smeeton
This mural highlights the significance of the Rideau Canal and reflects upon the aspects that make it so important to Canadians as a source of leisure, history and commerce. The imagery references its engineering and construction as well as its everyday function.
"These murals bring recognition to local artists, enhance our neighbourhoods and have proven to be effective in managing graffiti vandalism," said Councillor Egli. "They give downtown visitors out for a walk or a skate even more reasons to stop, and gaze and enjoy their surroundings."
Angela Hewitt to perform at the Mayor's Gala for the Arts
Ottawa – Mayor Jim Watson is proud to announce that internationally acclaimed pianist Angela Hewitt is the feature performer at the inaugural Mayor's Gala for the Arts, which will take place on on Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park.

Food Safety - A Complex Leadership Challenge (Part 2)
This post follows on Part 1 where we discussed employee engagement and the vestiges of 19th century management.
"Treat regular workers as if they were volunteers."
Gaining Traction on Engagement
What exactly do we mean when we talk about 'improving engagement'?
Put simply: both individuals and managers must focus on how they need to work together.
To do so, employees must:
- Understand the Strategy and contribute to the organization's mission and direction—at least in terms of how it impacts their day-to-day work
- Be led by Managers who willempower them and create a work climate that promotes motivation
- Posses the ability to Self-Managein order to participate in setting their own goals as a critical contribution to the strategic direction of the enterprise
These skills are absolutely necessary in our world of "doing more with less"—and to do so at the speed of change itself. Imagine the gains if organizations were able to harness the discretionary effort of all employees all of the time!
With that in mind, lets take a look at each component.
Understanding Strategic Direction
To give their best every day requires that employees make a total commitment to the company mission. The first step is that all employees understand and accept the fundamental purpose of the organization, the clients it serves, and it's operating assumptions. Modern workers expect no less and will not accept any less. There is ample evidence to support this.
As a reality check, consider the following three questions from Gallup's employee engagement survey:
- I know what is expected of me at work.
- I have the materials and equipment I need to do my job right.
- At work, I have the opportunity to do what I do best every day.
Managers who can Empower Teams
Pushing the reset button on employee engagement requires managers to change their mindset from the command and control model and means that they can no longer do it all:
- The span of knowledge represented in the modern workforce is so vast that managers can't possibly be experts in all aspects of their job.
- The speed at which change is occurring in turn requires rapid decisions in order to meet client expectations and to remain competitive.
- The need for self-organizing teams operating from a shared understanding becomes essential for achieving results.
- And the above leads to the inevitable need to build consensus. Consensus building is the key to integrating interests and to avoiding problems in business processes. If you want employees to be engaged and to use their best judgment when making day-to-day decisions, they need to understand how their actions will harmonize with the overall team effort as well as others in the greater organization.
These issues require a radically different leadership style from and managers and leaders.
Again, let's check how the above issues key into the questions that count for employees as reflected in Gallup's Q12:
- In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work.
- My supervisor, or someone at work, seems to care about me as a person.
- There is someone at work who encourages my development.
Arriving at positive answers to these questions is key to getting employees engaged!
Why is self-management so important? Because, in traditional organizations, most employees have not had a chance to develop the team decision-making skills required with greater discretion. Self-managed work teams have been around for decades. While much was learned from the early trail blazers such as Tavistok Institute, wide spread application began with the work of the likes of Deming and others who advocated a much softer version of employee involvement in the pursuit of quality.
A more contemporary example the Lean movement, first employed by Toyota (post Deming) and the Agile Manifesto which grew out of it, is widely considered as an effective management philosophy appropriate to our modern times. Lean production, or simply lean, is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination.
As a management philosophy, who can argue with such a definition given the need to innovate and reduce cost!
Placing the Role of Management Under the Lens
You can gain a rapid perspective of how much self-management "space" there is in your own organization through the lens of leadership styles. The continuum of leader behaviour is adapted from the Harvard Business Review article How to choose a leadership pattern by Robert Tannenbaum and Warren Schmidt. The continuum outlines leader behaviours that range from 'tell', through to 'sell', 'consult' and 'join'.
To achieve any semblance of employee engagement and self-management, it is pretty obvious that teamwork—leaders in collaboration with team members—must shift to the right of diagram. Shifting to the right creates space for employees to use their own judgement about what is best.
It also creates the climate necessary if you want to harvest the "discretionary effort" dividend!
In my experience, this co-dependency is the often-overlooked "joint product" of greater employee engagement and leadership. The one can't take place without the other.
Again, let's check how these topics key into the questions that count for employees—here are another three key questions from the Gallup's Q12:
- At work, my opinions seem to count.
- The mission or purpose of my company makes me feel my job is important.
- My associates or fellow employees are committed to doing quality work.
With this information informing the discussion, do you feel your employee engagement profile is up to the challenge of your food safety goals?

Unanswered: connection to sql thru vb(urgt)
I am final yr student and am working on a proj for a school and have a doubt regarding the sql connection...
well, in order to establish a client server system it is essential to maintain mutual exclusion (no two write permissions to the same table on a database...). for this
set con = new ADODB.Connection
set rs = new ADODB.Recordset
rs.open "select * from table", con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
I am not sure if adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic are the right combination for that...please help me out...its urgent...the abouve is what I have used ..my submission date is closing in...Thanxs

Re: connection to sql thru vb(urgt)
I think a combination of adOpenDynamic and adLockPessimistic is the safest for your criteria of preventing two users from writing to the same record at the same time. Does everybody else agree?
Here are the two sets of 4 options for your review:
adLockBatchOptimistic 4 Indicates optimistic batch updates. Required for batch update mode.
adLockOptimistic 3 Indicates optimistic locking, record by record. The provider uses optimistic locking, locking records only when you call the Update method.
adLockPessimistic 2 Indicates pessimistic locking, record by record. The provider does what is necessary to ensure successful editing of the records, usually by locking records at the data source immediately after editing.
adLockReadOnly 1 Indicates read-only records. You cannot alter the data.
adOpenDynamic 2 Uses a dynamic cursor. Additions, changes, and deletions by other users are visible, and all types of movement through the Recordset are allowed, except for bookmarks, if the provider doesn't support them.
adOpenForwardOnly 0 Default. Uses a forward-only cursor. Identical to a static cursor, except that you can only scroll forward through records. This improves performance when you need to make only one pass through a Recordset.
adOpenKeyset 1 Uses a keyset cursor. Like a dynamic cursor, except that you can't see records that other users add, although records that other users delete are inaccessible from your Recordset. Data changes by other users are still visible.
adOpenStatic 3 Uses a static cursor. A static copy of a set of records that you can use to find data or generate reports. Additions, changes, or deletions by other users are not visible.http://www.scirocco.ca/images/banner...occobanner.gif

WATCH: Donald Trump rally protester carried away by cops
THIS is the moment cops dragged away a protester after a major security scare at a Donald Trump rally in Reno, Nevada.
Officers can be seen carrying Austyn Crites away from the rally after the Republican presidential candidate was rushed from the stage.
Crites, who was holding a banner reading "Republicans against Trump, was pounced on by the Presidential candidate's security team over fears he was carrying a gun.
Following his release, Crites revealed he was terrified of the crowd's response to the chaotic incident.
He said: "I was in survival mode. I knew I could die at that moment."
The 33-year-old Republican supporter said he was punched and kicked while his neck was placed in a chokehold.
He said someone in the crowd even grabbed his testicles at one point.
During the scare, the billionaire was seen squinting into the crowd to get a better look at the man.
Suspecting danger, his security squad pulled the potential future President down before running him backstage.
A SWAT team then dashed into the crowd to apprehend Crites.
Trump was kept backstage for a few minutes while police dealt with the situation, before returning to finish the rally.
Speaking defiantly following the incident, he said: "No one was saying it would be easy for us.
"But no-one will stop us. Never, ever."
In a statement made after the rally, Trump said: "I would like to thank the United States Secret Service and the law enforcement resources in Reno and the state of Nevada for their fast and professional response.
"I also want to thank the many thousands of people present for their unwavering and unbelievable support.
"Nothing will stop us - we will make America great again!"

Georgetown OKs water tower maintenance
GEORGETOWN — The city's water tower will continue having maintenance to prevent corrosion.
Georgetown City Council members voted to have Corrpro of Medina, Ohio, use cathodic protection equipment on the interior of the water tower to help prevent corrosion. Mayor Dennis Lucas said the treatment is expected to cost about $700, and the city has contracted with Corrpro for corrosion protection for years.
The protection will help to extend the life of the 500,000-gallon water tower, which was built on the city's south side in 1998. The older, 100,000-gallon water tower, which was built on the city's north side in 1934, was badly corroded and was taken down in 2011.
In other business, Alderman Adam Hart said that the city's new long-distance phone rate would be closer to $100 a year.
Hart has said that the city routinely runs up monthly long-distance phone bills of more than $700, because of the electronic sensors in the water tower using phone lines to contact the pump station near Cayuga, Ind. — sometimes every 20 minutes, and currently at a rate of 27 cents per call. Hart said the new, negotiated rate would result in bills that will be much lower.

Ex-police chief faces jail for historical sex abuse against two boys
A RETIRED police chief who won £375,000 damages after being branded a paedophile by newspapers will be jailed today for historical sex crimes against two young boys.
Former Superintendent Gordon Anglesea will be jailed today
Former Superintendent Gordon Anglesea, 79, used his position and "connections with authority" to molest his two victims, while running a "naughty boy school" in North Wales in the 1980s.
He escaped justice for 30 years and sued for libel when the Press linked him to paedophiles but was convicted last month after a trial of four counts of indecent assault between 1982 and 1987, against two boys, both aged 14 or 15 at the time.
Father-of-five Anglesea, of Colwyn Bay, whose defence was funded by the Police Federation, was accused of having "a connection" to notorious North Wales paedophile John Allen and others who were part of a paedophile ring operating in the region using children's homes as cover for their abuse.
Anglesea, a police inspector in Wrexham in the 1980s, ran a Home Office attendance centre in Wrexham in the 1980s where teenage boys convicted of petty crime would be given a "short, sharp, shock" of military-style physical training, marches and parade sessions along with woodwork classes on Saturday afternoons.
Anglesea would "inspect" the parade, make the youngsters do naked sit-ups and squat thrusts, then loiter around the showers "with a smirk on his face".
Three of the assaults took place at the attendance centre, against one boy who was "last back to the showers" after a cross-country run, the jury heard.
The other victim said he was first sexually assaulted by Allen while in care and living at the Bryn Alyn home and the abuse sometimes involved other adults when he was "handed around like a handbag".
On one occasion at a house in Mold, Anglesea "grabbed him by the hair" and forced him to perform oral sex on him, calling him "scum" and telling the boy he had the "power to send him away".
Gordon Anglesea with his wife Sandra outside the High Court after receiving £375,000 damages
Witnesses told the jury Anglesea became a regular visitor to the Bryn Alyn Children's Home in Wrexham, run by Allen, who was first convicted of child sex offences in 1995 and was jailed for life in 2014 for sexually abusing 18 boys and one girl in his care.
Suspicions against Anglesea had first been raised in the media in 1991 when he was named as a regular visitor to children's homes, who had resigned suddenly and without explanation from his police job as questions about abuse in homes were growing.
But in 1994 Anglesea won damages of £375,000 in a joint action against The Independent on Sunday, The Observer, HTV and Private Eye, which were ordered to pay his sizeable legal costs.
During a six-week trial at Mold Crown Court he claimed to be a victim of post-Sir Jimmy Savile witch-hunt motivated by a conspiracy of lies to claim compensation.
Judge Geraint Walters granted Anglesea bail after he was convicted, but warned him he will be going to jail when he passes sentence later today.

In most organs, different cell types are generated by stem cells - cells that also make copies of themselves and thereby maintain the tissue. An optimal balance between the number of stem and differentiated cells is essential for the proper function of the organs. Locally-acting signals are important to maintain this balance in a spatially-organized manner and these signals are key to understanding the regulation of growth.

Recent work on neuro-glial cell physiology has revealed that glial cells are much more actively involved in brain information processing than previously anticipated. This finding has stimulated the novel view that the brain should be viewed as a circuit of interactive neuron and glial cell networks. Despite the solidity of the evidence for glia-neuron signalling many fundamental
questions on the basic cellular and molecular aspects of this intriguing partnership still remain unanswered or have not been addressed in the functional in vivo context. The major aim of our research efforts is to investigate the role of glial cells as potential cellular targets for developing novel therapies in human neurological disorders.

Astrocytes outnumber neurons in the brain, but were neglected in neuroscience research for many years. It is now recognised that astrocytes regulate local microcirculation, modulate the communication between neurons and are the stem cells in the adult brain. In Alzheimer and Parkinson patients, astrocytes become reactive which is likely to affect brain functioning. The main aim of our research is to understand the molecular and functional changes in reactive astrocytes and to study the regenerative potential of the astrocytic stem cells in neurodegeneration. We are studying the function of intermediate filament proteins, such as GFAP, which are highly regulated cytoskeletal structures with a major role in astrocytic cell signaling. The ultimate goal of our research is to develop therapeutic strategies to control reactive gliosis and to stimulate the endogenous repair capacity of the astrocytic stem cells in neurodegenerative diseases.

Antibiotic resistance causes considerable extra costs and suffering in human patients. Some of the resistance encountered in human pathogens has originally been selected for in the agricultural sector. Our group studies in laboratory models such as chemostats how bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, what exposure regimes lead to how much resistance and how therapeutic goals can be reached while creating minimal resistance.

Madison, AL (PressExposure) February 19, 2009 -- How do presidential elections impact the Department of Defense contractor community's ability to compete for contracts? "In recent history two sequential presidents have provided separate executive orders directing how to protect classified information," says security consultant and author Jeffrey W. Bennett. Presidents Clinton and Bush have issued policies directing what qualifies to receive a CONFIDENTIAL, SECRET or TOP SECRET classification.
Democrat presidents often reflect a policy of openness. Some policy changes President Clinton implemented tightened the reins on what could be classified and for how long. "President Clinton's policy made it tougher to classify information and contributed to the declassification of thousands of documents," says Bennett.
Republican Presidents tend to ease classification standards. However, President Bush kept pretty much the same structure as President Clinton's Executive Order 12958. He later implemented Executive Order 13292. "The changes President Bush implemented included providing more flexibility of the classification process. He also added defense measures against transnational terrorism," says Bennett.
Both examples of recent elections changed the way government agencies and DoD Contractors conduct business. President Clinton's Executive Order set a specific duration of classified information. "Classified information outside of the established time frame had to either go through a process to retain the classification or be re-marked. If the information did not qualify for extended classification, then a classification change had to be annotated at a lower level or declassified all together," says Bennett. President Bush made changes that required re-designation of classification markings and extended duration of classification when necessary.
Those are only a few examples of the changes affecting the DoD contractor industry. Reduction in classified holdings was a benefit of changes both administrations made. "Depending on the government report, between 10 percent and 90 percent of documents are over-classified. Tougher classification standards are good provided that national security is still protected," adds Bennett. From a financial overhead point of view, a reduction in classified holdings helps lower overhead costs as fewer security containers and vaults are needed.
What changes can we expect from President Elect Obama? "The industry shouldn't expect drastic changes. Though there may be an effort toward openness, our nation's leaders understand the importance of protecting national security. Providing classification for the right reasons protects our country and reduces the amount of classified information needing specialized storage." The trend will require materials and manpower to make the changes in markings and reduce the classified holdings.

You don't have to invoke any new political divisions to explain President Trump's roll-back of Obama's Clean Power Plan or his reversal of Obama's decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. Feeding fossil fuels and starving clean energy is established orthodoxy; it comes straight out of the Reagan and Bush playbooks.
In fact, the only thing that's new and evolving about Trump's energy policy is the context. Climate change impacts are accelerating visibly; so is the growth of renewable energy. With or without the administration's help, energy policy must evolve to reflect this new reality.
Meanwhile, Trump's proposals are old energy policy. His budget plan would gut Obama's environmental and energy programs just as Reagan did Carter's. Reagan slashed renewables R&D 85 percent, rolled back fuel efficiency standards and killed the wind investment tax credit, effectively strangling renewables in their cradle.

I use the studio around me as reference. Artists leave traces of their process as humans leave traces of their existence. I use these traces as inspiration for my investigations.
In art the 'thing' shown is often polished, carefully measured and tailored to achieve a certain response, but the 'thing' is not the only creation. Even the neatest artist makes mess and mistakes. I seek to combine aesthetic qualities with mistakes and processes.
For a painter these traces will invariably be paint, but artists rarely call thosepaintings. Paintings are the controlled result of an artist applying paint, but not all paintings are made traditionally. This lack of active control and rejection of traditional rules are an indispensable element of my practice.
I have been working with ideas of chance, accident, potentiality and deception. I am interested in what art is, what it does and why we define it so vehemently. Paint, and art itself, are the subject I am using to question my own perceptions and those of viewers.
Highlighting the unseen and unwanted areas of the studio shows that everything is worthy of attention and by defining it as art I am raising its importance. The works represent the process of making, and re-present that process to the viewer.
By taking myself away from the artwork it becomes more of a conversation between viewer and materials, disconnecting the viewer from the emotional influence of the artist.
I am questioning the potentiality of art. Making art ordinary by showing the physicality and potential of the materials themselves. Items that would normally be meaningless suddenly have purpose because of their location as art, rather than just part of the process.
I want my work to make the viewer ask questions, which means I have to ask them first.
Ting Waterhouse
I'm an artist graduating this year from BA (Hons) Interactive Arts at the Manchester School of Art, a diverse multi-disciplinary course that focuses on the importance of ideas. I am a printmaker and also work in video and textiles installation. My work focuses on the narratives of marginalised communities and working class culture. The pieces shown here at FAB attempt to explore laundrettes as social spaces and community hubs, as well as considering the relentless, cyclical nature of cleansing and its role in consumerism.

urgent help too many VOF subtime steps error
I am trying to model the flow of a liquid partilce with high density and viscosity suspended in water in a 3D-bend using VOF method. When I run the simulation without the particle my velocity field seems to converge, but when I adapt a spherical region with a specied radius and run the VOF solver I get an error " too many VOF sub-time steps. the velocity is probably diverging. Please reduce the time steps if necessary" . I even tried reducing the time step size. I'm pretty sure that my grid is fine. I would greatly appreciate if you can help me out. Thank you very much
Re: urgent help too many VOF subtime steps error
Are you trying to mark a region with adapt option, for the purpose of patching/initialisation.
I guess instead of clikcing on mark option you might have clicked on adapt.this refines the grid in the region you have defined and so the error. You can see the refined grid, once you adapt and redisplay the grid.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: engine light blinking - catalytic damaging misfire on 2003 Ford Taurus
MIL came on ,code was PO156 O2 sensor,bank 2 sensor 2,light goes off for few hundred miles, then comes on again for 75 +- miles,stays off few hundred miles.Driving expressway at 75 mph engine light starts blinking, engine begins rough operation,at idle engine very rough almost stalling.engine temp. normal.,after cooling I started car i noticed the # 3 cylinder intake pipe was very hot to the touch ,other intakes were cool, clicking sound from area of # 3 . I installed new wires plugs and coil. Could it be a broken valve spring of carbon blocking exhaust port ? Car has 230,000 miles, alway used synthetic oil.
The flashing engine light is from an engine misfire, you should have a P0303 code if it is cylinder #3 that is misfiring. With this kind of mileage, and the noise, you'll want to get a good idea as to the mechanical condition of the cylinder. Check the compression and perform a leak-down test if the compression is low.
Driver, I'm curious as to what you found out. We just had the same problem and I'm trying to decide if we need to ditch the car ASAP or if its worth fixing. Thanks!

The loves of my life: Sibeal Ni Chasaide, vocalist
The vocalist on the loves of her life with High School Musical and Cinderalla getting honourable mentions.
The person
Ben Healy. I'd be even crazier than I am now if it wasn't for Ben. Also, my sisters, Niadh and Roisin, who I'd do anything for. We play, we fight and we chat for hours. Most importantly, they listen!
The memory
I remember being with my sisters when we were younger and going through all the Disney movies, and casting out roles to play, and songs to sing, and costumes to wear. An entire movie would come to life in our kitchen, whether anybody was there to watch it or not
The moment of the day
Night time in Rath Chairn, where I can see every single star, and, more importantly, the moon. If the moon is full - or a 'lemon' as I call it - then something magical is going to happen, and it's an opportunity to close your eyes and make a wish
The song
The songs I listen to vary a lot, but they all have good lyrics in common. Die Fun by Kacey Musgraves is one of my favourites. Anything Disney will also always have a place on my playlist, especially if it's sung by a princess
The movie
I owe it to my eight-year-old self to say High School Musical. High School Musical showed up often in our kitchen productions!
The hero
My mother, Diane, who somehow remains positive and silly at all times, even if she mightn't have a single reason to be. I find myself inheriting many of her ways, and that's something I say with great pride
The book
I read Harry Potter, of course - and, like all others, at age 11, I waited for my acceptance letter to arrive from Hogwarts. Since then, Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
The outfit
My scarf. I love my scarf. It's like a small blanket, and it keeps me warm. My scarf with anything is my favourite outfit
The accessory
I have a gold ribbon I found when I was 15, which I still wear for good luck. I also have a necklace with a fairy on it - it used to have fairy dust in it - which I wear every day. I have a pearl that I made a wish on, which I haven't stopped wearing since the wish was made. My latest addition is a ribbon with a seashell on it, which also contains magic
The gadget
My iPod. I have had it for about four years now. I have loads of photos in it, and I use it to chat to friends and listen to music. I had a phone a couple of years ago and, after a month, it fell into the shower. When I got another one, it happened again, so I've stuck with the iPod since then
The pet hate
When I'm told, almost every day in school, to take my scarf off
The friend
I couldn't single out just one. All my friends from school, Colaiste Iosagain; and from home in Rath Chairn. We have great chats and laugh a lot
The virtue
Faith. With faith, the others will follow
The beauty product
Lush bath bombs make me so happy. When you're swimming in water that's filled with glittering sparkles, there is nothing that can bring you down. And Naked on the Run by Urban Decay - I got it for Christmas a couple of years ago in Delaware. It's a small square of product for lips, eyes and cheeks, so I have everything covered in one go
The holiday
When I first saw Cinderella's castle in Disney World. I was much younger than I am now, but I'll never forget the feeling
The piece of advice
When I went to see the Cinderella movie, the mother said "have courage and be kind". That never left me. Kindness is very important to me. It's the trait that I wish to have most
The drink
I drink green tea most days. I find it soothing for my throat, and it's relaxing
The hotel
Once, on the way to my great grandmother's house in Rosmuc, we stayed at the Connemara Coast Hotel, where they left chocolates on my pillow. My sisters and I couldn't get over it, and still talk about it to this day
The bar
Club Rath Chairn - An Bradan Feasa. Cuireann Seanin failte roimh chuile dhuine i gconai! Bionn neart ceol agus craic ann do dhaoine oga agus daoine nach bhfuil chomh hog! This is a place where I've been singing sean nos since I was a child. Music and dancing are always part of a great night of fun, and I love meeting my friends there
The hobby
I love ballet. I've been dancing since I was five years old with Anne Maher in Trim. She works us extremely hard, but I always have a feel-good factor afterwards. I also love to write. Songs, poems, stories, whatever the pen is in the mood for
The part of my body
My hands. They do everything for me
The celebrity
I've always looked up to Vanessa Hudgens. She seems to have the 'be kind' aspect down to a T
The vice
I bite my nails! My friend Emer always slaps my hand away. I can't manage to stop, though
The smell
My grandmother Nonee has such a distinct smell. She lives in America, and, when she sends packages over, they smell so good I think I spend more time smelling them than I spend on the actual gifts
The taste
I love cheese. I go through mini obsessions when it comes to food . . . like, at the moment, it's oranges, but I'll always love cheese
Sibeal (17) is a vocalist from Rath Chairn, Co Meath, who sang 'Mise Eire' as part of the 1916 Centenary concert on Easter Monday. This Friday, May 20, at 8pm, she is taking part in a special concert also featuring Sean O Se and Na Casaidigh, in Duiske Abbey, Graiguenamanagh, Co Kilkenny. Tickets, €15, concessions, €10.

Issued at 945 AM EST MON NOV 20 2017 Weather is quiet this morning. River valley freezing fog and is burning off quickly based on regional satellite imagery. Temps will continue to rise above freezing over the next hour. Afternoon highs look good, rising into the upper 40s to lower 50s. No major update to the grids but will freshen up the zones and other text products. UPDATE Issued at 645 AM EST MON NOV 20 2017 With reports of dense fog in some of the river valleys and temperatures well below freezing it looks like freezing fog is affecting southeast parts of the state. This is supported by the obs out of SME and the Harlan airport as well as the latest GOES satellite images from the combined fog channel. Have updated the zones and HWO for this threat and also issued a brief SPS. With this update did also adjust the T and Td grids for the obs and trends. These have been sent to the NDFD and web servers. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday) Issued at 305 AM EST MON NOV 20 2017 07z sfc analysis shows cold high pressure moving into Kentucky. This has cleared the sky for all but the far east where some low stratus still holds on. With the clear skies and light winds temperatures are radiating down with readings generally in the mid to upper 20s. Dewpoints, meanwhile are running in the low to mid 20s with many valley locations seeing small dewpoint depressions that could result in some patchy fog. On the GOES satellite fog channel there are indications of fog are showing up in the deeper valleys so far this night. Have added some fog into the Wx grids for this through dawn. The models are in good agreement aloft through the short term portion of the forecast. Northwest flow starts off the first part of the day as the heights start to rebound over Kentucky in the wake the departing deep trough from this past weekend. The flow pattern will flatten out later today with some weak energy moving over the state in the more zonal flow. A sharpening trough then develops to the northwest on Tuesday and spread into the Ohio Valley with a fairly strong batch of energy pressing into the area later Tuesday - however, dry conditions at lower levels will give this feature little moisture to work with. Given the model agreement will favor the blended solution with a lean toward the higher resolution NAM12. Sensible weather will feature a chilly and frosty start to the morning followed by strong warming with plenty of sunshine today as temperatures reach near 50 degrees by late afternoon. For tonight, continued mostly clear skies and light sfc winds will result in good radiational cooling and a decent ridge to valley split opening up. Temperatures will continue their warming trend on Tuesday as the winds adjust to the southwest and pick up a bit. Along with at least partly sunny skies, temperatures will push 60 degrees by mid afternoon. Expect more in the way of clouds around on Tuesday compared to today as a dry cold front approaches from the northwest along with moisture seeping up toward the area from the south and southeast. Started with the CONSShort and ShortBlend for all the grids through the short term portion of the forecast. Did make some significant changes to low temperatures tonight for a moderate to large ridge to valley temperature split. As for PoPs, kept them low through the period - in line with the blends and MOS. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 230 AM EST MON NOV 20 2017 Forecast looks to remain quiet through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend with no real chances at any precipitation. A moisture starved cold front will be dropping southward Tuesday night and will help to bring a shot of cooler weather for the middle of the upcoming week. This cooler weather will last into Thanksgiving day. A surface ridge will build in by Thanksgiving, allowing for a sunny day for Thanksgiving. Southwest flow ahead of another moisture starved front will develop into Friday, allowing for a modest warmup heading into the end of the week. This front will then pass late Friday night, with another cool down expected Saturday into Sunday. Models continue to trend towards a drier system for Friday night/Saturday, so have removed any rain chances. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) ISSUED AT 700 AM EST MON NOV 20 2017 VFR conditions will dominate through the period. High pressure building in from the lower-mid Mississippi Valley will keep any cloud cover confined to a few cirrus through the period with winds southerly at generally 5 knots or less.

The depth of the unsaturated zone is strongly influenced by environmental factors. Approximately two-thirds of the world has sufficiently hot or arid climatic conditions so that the unsaturated zone forms more than a very shallow surface layer. Moreover, even in regions where unsaturated conditions are limited to a shallow surface layer; many practical problems in geotechnical engineering (i.e. slope stability, pollutant migrations) are significantly affected by the hydro-mechanical processes occurring in the unsaturated zone. Soil is used extensively as a fill material (i.e. earth-works such as road, railway and flood embankments, earth dams or behind retaining structures) and the unsaturated condition of the fill will crucially affect its behaviour. Seasonal variations in climatic conditions affect the water retention in soils; as a result they swell and shrink. During the dry spells the shrinkage of soils is commonly associated with the formation of cracks. This work presents preliminary results related to the analysis of a scaled flood protection embankment subjected to drying and wetting processes. The evolution of the unsaturated state of the fill under changes in the environmental conditions is explored and the potential influence of desiccation cracks in the soil mass is analyzed in this work.
