The Government has pledged £10million of funding for the Yorkshire leg of Grand Départ 2014 after a dramatic U-turn on funding for the 2014 events.
The pledge came after a day which saw the county's bid for funds first rejected and then accepted just 24 hours later.
Minister for Sports and Tourism Hugh Robertson made a shock announcement on Tuesday, March 19 that the Government was turning down Yorkshire's request for several million pounds of funding towards the event, despite support for the request from senior Government figures including Nick Clegg.
But just a day later a delegation of Yorkshire Conservative MPs, lead by Ripon and Skipton MP Julian Smith, held crunch talks with Culture Secretary Maria Miller to make a further plea for the funds.
The crisis meeting was succesful, and at 5pm, Mr Smith tweeted: "Over the moon that @letouryorkshire will be supported by up to 10M by government @Conservatives - many hours work paid off!"
Minutes later he added: "£10m investment from Government in @letouryorkshire will help bring £100m into our economy, 3m visitors and make 1m people healthier."

I'm a working mother of two (ages 6 & 9) in your Canary Wharf apartment. My husband is away on an assignment and keeping an eye on the young ones while managing work is becoming a nightmare if I may say so. We're still new here so don't know any babysitters yet. Please suggest an agency I could contact without worrying too much about it? Thanks a ton!

Al Roker Sleeps Through Now Ironically-Titled Morning Show 'Wake Up With Al'
This morning we were once again reminded that celebrities are mere mortals just like us. We all have those days when we somehow manage to sleep through the persistent hum of our alarm clocks. Well, it was just that kind of day for poor Al Roker.
Roker overslept for the first time in 39 years and therefore wasn't present for the filming of his apparently way too early in the morning show, Wake Up With Al. The talk-show host admitted to his accidental laziness on twitter, saying "After 39 years, it happened. I overslept and missed a show. Missed #WUWA. BUt will be on time for @today."
Morning, Sleepyhead. Overslept and missed #wuwa Here on time for TODAY https://t.co/dKqmHjGGIy
— Al Roker (@alroker) August 6, 2013
Roker was indeed true to his promise and made it in on time for his stint on Today, at least. The jokester even poked a little fun at the whole sleeping-in situation posting a vine of him yawning and professing himself as a "sleepyhead."
Considering Roker somehow circumvented oversleeping for the past four decades, I guess it's only fair to cut him some slack, eh?

Printing Blank Envelopes
Wow, this one has me stumped. I have 30 networked PCs that use two Kyocera Printers. The printer in question is a KM-5050 KX, which is set up as a copier and printer, but not a fax machine.
My problem comes when I try and print envelopes from ONE specific PC. They process normally, but print blank. No other PC in the office has this issue. I've checked all the internal settings, including modifying the default styles (Ctrl+Shft+Alt+S), but to no avail.
My next course of action was to address drivers, but since all the drivers and settings are uniform across the networked PCs, that doesn't make sense to me. Has anyone else experienced this problem and know of a solution. Or is there something simple that I've overlooked, (it wouldn't be the first time.) Thanks for your help.
|My System Specs
|25 Jun 2011
Just one or two points to clarify...
Which operating system is installed on the problem PC - XP or Windows 7?
Are all of the 30 PC's running the same version of Office? (also, which version?)
|My System Specs
|26 Jun 2011
OS and Word version
It's running XP, with Office 2007. That's the standard on most of the PCs in the office, except a couple that run Win7. None of the other PCs, even the ones that have the same model, OS, and settings, seem to have this issue.
|My System Specs
|26 Jun 2011
Could the template for the envelopes be corrupt? I jumped straight from Office 2000 to Office 2010, so I'm not sure off the top of my head where Office 2007 stashes them, but I'd try checking that out.
What happens when you print as though you're printing an envelope but use a regular 8.5"x11" page instead? Does anything show up on the paper? What I'm getting at is that it might actually be printing, but if the envelope template is messed up it might be printing off to the side of the envelope itself.
|My System Specs
|27 Jun 2011
Have you tried uninstalling the printer from the computer, restarting, then installing the printer again?
May also be worth checking out the driver - just for the sake of it and to eliminate from the equation.
|My System Specs
|27 Jun 2011
Solved!! ...ish
So I went ahead and bit the bullet, and downloaded updated printer drivers. It seems to have solved the issue, as now the envelopes print out with actual text. Something is still amiss though. The text sits a little lower and to the left of where the other PCs print it. I'm pretty sure that it has to do with custom setting that my predecessor configured.
I should be able to figure it out, but I was a little surprised that the default was so off center, given the nature of the mailings wizard.
In case anyone is having a similar problem, or anything else related to Kyocera drivers, I highly recommend the following link.
Kyocera KM-5050 KX Driver v.5.1.1405 download for Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008
Although I HATE dirverscollection for all it's confusing ad pages and unnecessary click-throughs. I have to admit that the All-in-on multifunctional Kyocera driver finder program that I downloaded, was super easy to use and did the trick. I'm sure there's a more official download than the one I used, if you know it, please post below.

Vegetable Paella
Member recipe by quierounvaquero
ServingsServes 4
An easy, healthy and filling paella-style dish of vegetables and rice.
This recipe has been submitted by the Good Food community. Sign in or create a My Good Food account to upload your own recipe creations. Please note that all recipes will be moderated but they are not tested in the Good Food kitchen.
Save to My Good Food
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 green and 1 red pepper, cored and diced
- 1 cup (that's cup and not mug) of peas (frozen are fine)
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- a good pinch of saffron threads (not absolutely necessary), dissolved in
- 800ml chicken or vegetable stock
- ground black pepper
- 250-300g any long or short grain rice
- chopped parsley, optional, as much as you like
- Prepare all the ingredients and have them lined up in front of you in the order listed above - sounds a bit pedantic, I know, but always makes cooking easier.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the onions and garlic, cover and cook for about 3 minutes until soft. Then add the peppers and peas, stir in, cover again and cook for a few more minutes.
- Make a well in the centre, put the tomatoes in the well and the paprika on top. Then add the stock (with the saffron if you have it), but make sure it doesn't overflow: if it gets more then half a cm close to the rim of the pan, stop adding stock and just use less rice. Season with pepper and stir.
- Scatter as much of the rice as you think will fit over the stock (depends on your pan, really), stir it in gently, then allow it to simmer gently until the liquid has absorbed and the rice is cooked. This could take about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Test a bit of the rice to see if it's cooked, add a bit of stock or hot water if it is not done.
- Stir in the parsley a few minutes before it has finished cooking, if you want to use it, then serve hot. It's also pretty nice cold and should keep for a few days in the fridge.
Comments, questions and tips
15th Oct, 2017
I didn't have any saffron but added some turmeric for colour, doubled the paprika, added brocolli, a chilli, lemon juice and dried parsley. I thought it was okay as a not too much hassle recipe but it felt like something more was needed to make up for the lack of meat and fish. Good base though.
20th Jun, 2015
Was very yummy. Used three long thin red peppers rather than the red and green recommended, sliced them to look like squid rings which was visually very appealing. We put in a chopped chilli as well which gave it some lovely heat. We used a paella dish with no lid so had to stir it and cook for a bit longer than stated but still worked really well. Would be nice with a few more vegetables but I'm unsure which ones.
7th Mar, 2014
This is my second time making this, it works really well. I added turmeric to get more yellow colour, some balsamic vinegar and some seasoning salt from USA and also some powdered garlic and half a teaspoon of dried flake chillies as suggested by another commenter. I am cooking this in the Canary Islands so we have lots of saffron at good prices, so did four pinches of this. I also snuck in 4 tablespoons of mild salsa (the kind you dip nachos in) to add to the tomatoes. On the side I did some garlic prawns in olive oil with lots of garlic then finally added that to the top when serving, giving the option of either a vegetarian plate or one with prawns.
28th Jan, 2012
Thought this was a tasty dish, but used veggie stock (made with Buillon powder) and it wasn't quite tasty enough to get 5 stars. Maybe a homemade veggie stock would have done the trick. Also, served with lots of fresh parsley and a lemon wedge, which made it taste nice and fresh. Added peas later on too as didn't want them to overcook. Oh and also had it with Cauldron veggie sausages which were cooked in the oven first, then sliced and placed on top.

If you've been enjoying the nice weather, stay tuned for more as a high pressure area parked over Long Island promises to bring above average temperatures into the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
The 76 degrees recorded late morning Tuesday at Long Island MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma, was well above the date's average high of 68, said Tim Morrin, weather service meteorologist based in Upton. The temperature since hit 80 around 3 p.m., still shy of the record 83 degrees set in 1986, said meteorologist Gary Conte.
Still, thanks to west, northwest winds inhibiting breezes off the ocean, Wednesday is expected to be the record-tying or breaking day, Morrin said. A high of 81 is forecast for the airport, where a record of 80 was set in 2002, he said.
Temperatures Thursday through Saturday are also expected to be at least in the mid-70s, he said.
That would be in keeping with the Climate Prediction Center's forecast for a 50 percent to 60 percent chance of above normal temperatures for the month of October.
As for Sunday, there's a 30 percent chance of the arrival of a "potentially wet, slow moving system," Morrin said.
That rain, though, could be seen as welcome, with September having recorded 1.83 inches, which is 1.75 inches below normal, the weather service said.

'My best friend was murdered, now I've lost my beautiful girlfriend in horror car crash'
A Dublin man whose best friend was murdered has spoken of his double heartache after his girlfriend was killed in a horror car crash.
Kiara Baird (19) died alongside mother-of-three Maria Wallis (38) when the car they were travelling in rolled over and hit a lamp post outside Ballybofey, Co Donegal, on Wednesday.
The women were returning home from a college beautician course at nearby Finn Valley college.
The 24-year-old driver from Tallaght has been released from hospital.
Kiara's boyfriend, 23-year-old John Brennan from Crumlin, told the Herald he had been left heartbroken for the second time in months after pal Paul Curran died from injuries sustained in a stabbing incident at Seagull House, Rutland Avenue, in Crumlin in July.
"Kiara was stunning," said John, who had been dating her since 2014.
"She was the most beautiful girl in the world and I loved her. She was always working and trying to do better for herself.
"Kiara was just like any other girl like that; she loved life and was the life and soul of the place. I'm still in shock. I can't believe she's gone.
"I lost my best friend Paulie (Curran) 11 weeks ago and now this has happened. Kiara was my princess and I know Paulie will look after her for me."
Kiara, who was originally from Clondalkin, died alongside Maria when the car in which they were travelling went out of control on a bend on the Glenfin Road, on the outskirts of Ballybofey, Co Donegal at 4.15pm on Wednesday.
Kiara's grandfather Declan paid tribute to her, as he came to terms with the shocking news in his Clondalkin home.
He said Kiara had moved with her mother Tracy and her three siblings to Donegal around six years ago to make a better life for themselves
because Tracy did not want to bring up her children in Dublin.
"She wanted her children to be safe. I reared all my family here in the city, and I wouldn't change that, but times have changed a lot since then and Tracy didn't want her children reared in the city," said Declan.
"There's another daughter of mine in Kerry for the same reason," he added.
"Kiara was our first grandchild. The first of the next generation of 13 grandchildren. She was special because of that.
"She was full of life and full of questions, and constantly wanted more from life. Kiara would still come down to Dublin a lot to go out with friends, and I would see her often. What happened is just awful," he added with emotion.
"I'm a youth worker myself, and I've known a lot of young people killed in car crashes as a result. I've been to too many funerals.
"I don't know what happened in the crash. I don't want to be a person looking for any blame. All I know is Kiara is gone. All I know is we miss her," Declan said.
Gardai have appealed for witnesses and anyone with information in Dublin or Donegal on the incident to contact them at Letterkenny Garda Station on 074 9167100, the Garda Confidential Line, 1800 666111 or any garda station.

Phone apps help crooks to steal your £3k bicycle
THIEVES are using free cycling apps to home in on garden sheds where bikes worth thousands of pounds are stored.
Without turning privacy setting on, cycling apps can reveal the location of your home and bike
Mobile phone apps like Strava and MapMyRide let cyclists record detailed route maps, as well as average speed and number of calories burnt.
But, unless privacy settings are turned on, they also pinpoint the exact location of the user's home.
There have been so many thefts that Wayne Preston, who runs Cliff Pratt Cycles in Hull, now warns customers to take care with the apps.
People keep bikes in sheds with minimal security
He said: "People happily put photos of their shining £3,000 bike up for everyone to see – but don't activate the Strava privacy settings."
Bike thefts soared 15 per cent in Humberside last year following summer's Tour De France Grand Depart in neighbouring Yorkshire.
Sgt Rob Danby said: "People keep bikes in sheds with minimal security.
"They need to be more wary and spend £50 on a decent lock."

2.5 Lift Questions
Hey guys, I'm looking to order a 2.5" lift sometime this week. My jeep is my daily driver and I only wheel it a couple times a month. Sometimes not even that. I'm only 16 and don't have the money to consistently be fixing broken parts. I've been though tons of websites comparing all the lifts, price and quality. This is what I found.
I came across this one its a Skyjacker 2.5 sport. It doesn't come with anything extra. Just springs, shocks, and U bolts. What do you guys think?
Do I need anything else? Transfer case drop, extended brake lines, etc? Also if you have any other suggestions on a 2.5" lift please tell me. Id like to stay around a $700 max. Thanks
Some of the other 2.5" lift kits I've been looking at do come with a transfer case drop kit (old man emu kit), but I'm not sure if it's 100% necessary. I'm going to put the drop kit on when I do my lift just to be as 'correct' as I can with the driveline angles, etc.
The only other things I have seen with some kits are new bushings if your new springs don't come with them, and some people are doing new shackles when they lift, but if yours are in good shape and not beat up too bad, your kit should be compatible with existing shackles.
I don't think I need brake lines with just 2.5" of lift, but this will be my very first lift install so I'll check it out when I do it.
I was just quoted some good pricing from a JF vendor on ZONE lifts.
Check them out .
Your budget opens a world of doors. OME, RE, Zone, BDS to name a few.
I'm running an OME 2.5" lift with no transfer case drop, and factory shackles. I was also able to reuse my original u-bolts, but that is a rare occurrence. With bushings, springs, and new shocks, I was just about $700 delivered to my door.
As for the brake lines, Anitcanman has a nice write-up on a free brake line relocation mod which works real well.
I would go with Zone. It's not a bad price and it's good quality.
I did an Old Man Emu for about that price. Here's what I did:
4 2.5" Old Man Emu lift springs
New Rancho U bolts
New Polyurethane bushings for all the springs
Black Diamond A-T shocks
Skyjacker T-case drop.
I also had to cut the bolt heads off of my old springs and replace them, but my Jeep is a pile of Rust that spent most of it's life in the northeast, so you might have better luck with that than I did.
Got all this for about what your budget is, maybe a little less. I think Q-tec was having some kind of special on those springs, cause they were listed at a lower price than the stock height springs and I have read some great reviews on them, so I went ahead and got em.
The transfer case drop at that height you could go either way. I have it, but I haven't got around to putting it on yet. I know it's a simple job, but those bolts look pretty rusty and I'm pretty busy. I have noticed a little bit of vibration, but only when I am starting from a dead stop and turning (like out of a stop sign turning right). If the transfer case drop was an expensive or difficult job, I would say don't bother, but it's pretty cheap and easy, so just grab one.
PM me and I can get you part numbers from Quadratec. The old man emu kit is like 950, but the way I did it, I'm pretty sure I stayed under 700.
I am very happy with my Zone 2" lift, which is $500-$550 (check Fueled4wd on eBay).
go bds, honestly i run the old man emu springs on mine, but the bds and o.m.e. springs feel about the same after riding in Anticanmans jeep, so go with bds springs and piece them together, plus they got a good warranty
If you get vibes after the 2.5" lift (I did) go buy some square tubing and drill holes to match the skid plate bolts, get longer bolts and you'll be golden. It cost me about $25 for the drop.

Lembeh Straits Manado's Sulawesi region is one of the more well-known places to dive in Indonesia, and now I understand why – it truly is as awesome as people describe. The waters in the Lembeh Straits are quite calm as it is a sheltered stretch between the Manado mainland off the coast of Bitung, and Pulau Lembeh.
You mostly get muck diving here, which means fine sandy bottoms with little coral reef where you can find all sorts of creatures hidden in the sand. It also means that if you accidentally kick up the sand, you need to wait for the sand to settle before you can see anything.
Lembeh is about 1.5 hours drive from our resort at Cocotinos. We left the resort at about 7am every day to the jetty where our little dive boat awaited. We would spend all day out doing 3 dives before returning around 4-5pm, where we would take the long rush-hour drive back to Cocotinos in time for dinner. See my Cocotinos review here.
Here is the list of dive sites that we checked out in the Lembeh Straits:
- Nudi Retreat
- Hairball
- Police Pier
- Pante Parigi
- Jahir
Want to see more of my dives in Manado? Check out my trip recap, as well as my Bunaken and Manado Dive Logs from Days 1 and 2 where I saw a whole bunch of cool stuff including Mandarin Fishes and Mantis Shrimps.
Lembeh Straits – Nudi Retreat
It's sandy bottom in a sheltered bay – we were the first boat out there that day and we saw a lot of interesting creatures here, different from that we had encountered on the Bunaken side.
Some interesting things I didn't manage to get good pix of: We spotted a large octopus under a rock, and when it saw us, it darted very quickly to another hole, squashed itself in there while rapidly turning from dark brown to white and as we swam closer it shrank further into the hole.
And here's a treat at the end of the dive – an electric clam! No idea if it will actually shock you if you touch it, but I wasn't about to test it out… (Added about 50 dives later: the electric effect is just a trick of reflectors and light! You won't actually get shocked!)
Lembeh Straits – Hairball
This was a purely black sand dive – there was little to no coral at all, just plain black sand, so it needed some careful spotting to look for creatures. Underwater currents were also a little strong at places, so taking pictures was tricky especially when you're trying to stay still and not kick up sand.
This dive was the first one that I manage to spot something awesome! Check out the octopus I found:
Lembeh Straits – Police Pier
Last dive of Day 1 – it was at a place called Police Pier where there were a lot of boats moored. It was also a bit murkier and you had quite a bit of trash floating around – the water didn't feel as clean here but you still had lots of great critters hidden here.
Lembeh Straits – Pante Parigi
This place had a sandy bottom and had lots of blue spotted stingrays quietly swimming along the seabed. They would come quite close – I would turn around and there would be a ray floating past my fin! Didn't see anything particularly new here, lots of creatures we came across the day before – waspfish, ghost pipefish, frogfishes… still awesome though.
Lembeh Straits – TK 3
Sloping reef with black sandy bottom.
Lembeh Straits – Jahir
The theme of this dive was OCTOPUS. It was a black sandy dive, and really we didn't see that many creatures, but we spent quite a lot of time being enamored with the various octopi we came into contact with, including the elusive blue-ringed octopus that we came across quite by accident!
This was a bit of a decomp dive as we spent a bit too much time too deep, so we had to spend more safety stop time to get rid of the nitrogen. Things like these make me more aware of myself and my buddy and hopefully a better diver for the future.
Octopus are mad smart. The one above carried its shell underneath its body to prevent any bottom dwellers from taking it by surprise!
You have to check out the video below that I caught of this octopus making a dash for it. It decided to still be in disguise and stuck out 2 tentacles to 'walk' away.
And then finally… the blue ringed octopus! Looks harmless and quite a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but totally poisonous so I took my pix from a distance and zoomed in. The poison can apparently kill you in a few minutes so I wasn't taking any chances!
I definitely want to come back to Lembeh again some day! So many things here to see and some we didn't get a chance to, like the flamboyant cuttlefish and the mimic octopus/wonderpus and the rhinopias… I could go on! Perhaps in future we'll stay at Lembeh so we can dive more of it…

Infrastructure group applauds investment funds
The deputy chairman of Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, Christopher Brown, has welcomed the Government's three new investment funds announced in Tuesday night's Federal Budget.
In a Budget which includes a plethora of spending cuts totalling $7.3 billion in 2008-09, the Government will use $40 billion from two surpluses to create three new funds.
Mr Swan says three "nation-building" funds - the Building Australia Fund, Education Investment Fund and the Health and Hospital Fund - are part of the Government's "massive modernisation" of the Australian economy in order to compete with the up-and-coming industrial giants, India and China.
The Building Australia Fund is expected to receive $20 billion in instalments over the next two years for infrastructure like roads, rail and ports, and broadband communications.
Mr Swan says $11 billion will flow to the Education Investment Fund - incorporating the one announced last year by the Howard government.
On top of the $10 billion Health and Hospitals Fund, there will be $1 billion injected immediately to relieve pressure on public hospitals and $3.2 billion to address problems in the public health system such as long waiting lists.
Mr Brown says the funds will start to lay a foundation for the medium term future of Australia.
"We're delighted that tonight the Treasurer and the Prime Minister have delivered a $40 billion infrastructure package," he said.
"As of tonight, we can restart the partnership of rebuilding Australian cities. We can start to tackle traffic congestion, we can start to provide adequate health and education services, we can start to address export bottlenecks."

M2/Synic/Fujitsubo copy header review
I'm sure this has been beaten to death but here is my take on this header.
I had purchased this as a stop-gap to sending my manifolds to Grimmspeed for porting or doing it myself. The going rate for used manifolds is around $100 or so plus shipping so for $150 shipped, I thought I would give them a chance. Of course it always costs more because I also purchased some Lava wrap and Grimmspeed gaskets but you would have to with a manifold swap regardless (minus the wrap). I also chose this header because I wanted equal length without swapping out the oil pan and installing a different uppipe.
Initial impressions:
The header itself arrived in a box with a bag of hardware and some metal and fibre gaskets. The whole thing is 304 stainless and all flanges were welded inside and outside. Prior reviews had stated the flanges were spot welded on the outside and seam welded internally but the one I received was welded on the inside and outside. Whether or not this is bad is to be determined but the flanges appeared straight after a test with a straightedge.
I cleaned up the inside of the merge collector to the uppipe due to some MIG welding slag and chased the O2 sensor bung threads but other than that everything appeared to be just fine. Blew out all of the tubes with compressed air and wrapped it preparing for installation.
I had to hammertune the front lip of the subframe as well as cut off an unused mounting point on the radiator. I chose to clearance the subframe versus cut it just because I wanted to maintain some integrity (all the spot welds are still intact) versus cutting out material and also did not want to channel it and make this a fabrication project as well. With some bending and hammering, I was able to ensure around 1/2" of clearance or so around the lowest bend so as not to contact the subframe under load. I also have fresher Group N mounts as well so the engine doesn't torque very much in my car.
I was surprised after clearancing everything that the header literally just fell onto the studs. I had to wiggle the factory manifold off and this literally pushed up into place. Perhaps I got a better one but even the flex joints did not have to be preloaded to get the header up into place.
There are a dozen ways to ensure a leak-free installation and I gambled on the wrong one: I had chosen to tighten the manifold to the heads first, then to the uppipe. I was using Grimmspeed's seven layer gaskets and they sealed to the heads just fine, it was to my STi uppipe that you could see water streaming from the joint upon first start that something was amiss.
I untorqued the manifold/uppipe connection and retorqued as well as tried flipping the gasket around: same result with a leak. Without copper spray and with only a used OEM gasket left, I chose to use the included gasket that came with the header and surprisingly it sealed. I have no idea how long this will hold but I have some OEM gaskets on the way as well as some copper gasket spray. I do not want to be laying on my back in the snow in December in the freezing cold replacing this gasket when it lets go.
I let the header heat cycle as well as took it for a test drive and retorqued everything: still leak free.
Driving impressions:
A bit of background on my car: 2003 WRX Wagon: 2.0L. STi up, STI axleback, Stromung shorty downpipe, factory third cat and resonator, Venair turbo inlet, Apex-i filter in full factory intake, silicone hoses to a Griffin radiator recored stock WRX intercooler, Cobb Accessport v3.10 OTS stage 2. Basically a massaged stage 2 setup. Quiet and simple since this is a wagon and a DD as well.
The header made everything smoother: even idle. Revving there is no more boxer rumble (which I personally don't miss nay everyone else: it's MY car) but it still sounds very Subaru-esque. It still has that "thrum" like a refined tractor. It is a very agricultural motor.
Taking off like a normal human being, the car just rolls off smoothly and the turbo spool is much smoother as well. You feel the enhanced midrange and everything just feels less stressed for lack of a better word. Driving more aggressively you really begin to notice that the header broadens the range of the motor and the turbo doesn't fall as flat on it's face like it did before at higher RPMs. It's less peaky than before and easier to drive. If you search previous reviews of the Synic header, I can concur with them as far as driveabilty is concerned: I was impressed and definitely would say that it was a good addition to the car.
I can't say it made my setup any quieter because outside of the stock axleback, I have one of the quietest setups available.
The one thing I did not expect was at 2800-3200 RPM there is a bit of drone that was not there before, it reminds me of where the cams used to hit in my 1984 16v GTi. There is no contact anywhere and I attribute it to the thinner tubes versus a cast manifold and a natural resonance in the motor enhanced by the addition of the header. It was there with the stock manifolds but is definitely much more pronounced now.
I'm guessing this is where it's most efficient as it really hums along similar to the airbox on my motorcycle. It is more pronounced from the front of the car as well. I'll probably get used to it but I did like the near-silent cruise at 70-75 that my previous setup had on the factory manifolds.
In summary:
It took a little work to get them on and I'm going to have to go back underneath and swap out a gasket (or not if I chose to roll the dice) but I'm so far impressed. Time will tell how long they last and what gives out first but for the price they were a viable alternative. I'll still port the factory manifold just in case but really for the price, I'm tempted to order another to keep as a spare.
You hear stories of longevity on these things going from weeks to months to years so I'm curious how long this will last. Mine is wrapped with 2" Lava (at 25% overlap) and the flex joints are exposed and everything is already turning a bit gold. The crossover tubes in the center are getting that multi-color hue (they're slightly exposed) so we'll see how things hold up. I live in PA as well so we get seasons. These things will be tested.
Stay tuned I guess.

Quick update:
Header is still working just fine and checking back with Cobb, it's playing nice with their OTS stage 2 via logging. The ECU has figured it out and it is still smoother to drive versus the stock manifold and you can really feel the gains in the midrange and the extended top end. I would say by the butt dyno that spool hasn't changed at all either. I'm sure if you were on a bigger turbo than a TD04 it would get choked but it works just fine for me.
It definitely gets loud when hot.
The factory manifold did as well but since it was cast iron, it hid this much better. It's that 2800-3200 area where you're at 75-80 that it is louder from the front of the car versus the back. Mind you, I'm running one of the quietest setups known and the header was the only change. Any speed below this or above it doesn't drone along but it most certainly does especially if the motor is loaded on a false flat or hill. This is the one thing that I don't like about it: it's louder (noticeably) compared to the stock manifold in this range.
Other than that, it's holding up fine.The Lava/titanium wrap still looks good, the provided gasket I used for the uppipe/manifold joint hasn't blown out yet (fingers crossed). At least I have a spare factory gasket and copper spray now just in case.
We'll see...

Just figured out the drone: the header was making a very slight bit of contact with the subframe causing the noise. It had cut the header wrap slightly on the lowest bend so I had to patch in that section.
I crawled underneath the car and instead of pulling the whole subframe down and clearancing it further (notching or further hammer-tuning) I loosened all the mounts and slid it as far forward as possible. I also added a couple of washers to the two front 12mm mounts to space it down.
Result: highway drone virtually eliminated. It may still be barely contacting when the motor is at full boil but I'll address that in the spring if need be. This header will still be louder than the factory manifold but this cured the cabin droning to the point of being near-stock.

One year update:
I pulled the header down to replace my leaky STi uppipe. I had ordered another header from the same vendor to pre-wrap it so that I would literally just install the uppipe and header and not have any downtime. I was planning on selling my old header on to a friend for a song.
I wanted to re-wrap the headers because the existing lava wrap had basically crumbled to dust in many places. So as nice as the stuff is to work with, over time it degrades just like any other wrap. That and the PIA stainless ties either loosened or broke resulting in tattered wrap in many places.
The new header was nothing like the old one. Apparently M2 is now Manzo USA and although the header is the same general shape and design, the quality of assembly left a little to be desired.
I was already expecting to clean up the uppipe area as I did before, but this time the way they joined the pipes into the flange and welded it resulted in an exit that was less than 42mm wide in some areas. The factory uppipe is this wide as well as the cast exit of the factory manifold. The way the header is constructed, if you were to port it to match your uppipe, you may weaken it to the point of failure. My previous header had a 45mm wide exit: a perfect match to my new GS uppipe.
The bends in the header were also not as good as before. Where the old header had smoother mandrel bends with few tooling marks, this new header had obvious creases where it was clamped into place. Between this and the weld work on the inside of the uppipe collector, I just reboxed the header and returned it to the seller. I was a bit disappointed.
The old header was cleaned up as it has been under the car for the past year. There was a little corrosion here and there but overall it was in good shape. No light was showing through the mesh flex joints and a fresh layer of wrap went onto the header: this time safety wired into place. I trued up the uppipe joint with a belt sander (the included gasket had held this entire time) and reinstalled. After wrestling a small uppipe leak, it finally sealed and I installed an 04 undertray to better protect it from the elements this time.
Hopefully it will hold up another year but in the meantime, caveat emptor on the "new" version of this header. I was looking forward to just popping a new one on there and saving some grief but the old one was better. Who knows? I may have to order another and it will be better next time. Only time will tell.

I take it back: I think removing the header from the car to install the uppipe was its death blow: the upper flex has broken.
I noticed it today as I was driving to meet a friend for lunch when I heard a whistling that would come as the engine came on load. When I returned home, you could see where the flex had started to fail with some soot so off they came. Thank goodness I ported my stockers.
They barely lasted me a year but I'll miss them.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I now cannot recommend this header to anyone: here's why.
The braided interior flex joints failed and sent its remains into my TD04. The only good part to this was the fact that the turbo had come off the car anyway for an upgrade. I took it apart today to find part of the braid was lodged in the scroll of the exhaust housing. That would explain why the turbo spool up sound was so much louder for a while before I took off the turbo.
Obviously since this header was also on the car when my new turbo went on, my month old, new-to-me turbo came off the car this afternoon for inspection. So far there are no foreign bits in the scroll and the blades are undamaged. Thank god these things are tough.
Stay away from this header: you stand the chance of fragging your turbo. The sad part is that it made made great power in comparison to the ported manifolds on the car now but certainly not worth the chest pains. I am contemplating cutting the old flex joints out and welding in either a slip-type connection or the proper turbo-use braided flex used on Grimm's uppipe.
It's cold and 25* and windy, if it does happen, it won't be for awhile.
You've been warned.

Great review. Not that I'm in the market for a header, but any header with a flex section could break as yours has and send fragments into the turbo. It's unfortunate yours did however.

Just in case someone still thinks that a one year warranty will cover this sort of failure, I was just told by Megan that it is not covered.
They didn't specify by time or otherwise but regardless, you get what you pay for.

I ordered this header after i read the initial review in this thread. A week after it was installed the flex section literally melted while my tuner was tuning the car and the heat from the open flex section burned up one of my coil packs.
M2 blamed it on me and said that i was driving it for weeks like that and because i didn't remove it before more damage was done, it was my fault and refused to pay for the coil pack that their faulty product caused to fail. Needless to say, they did give me my money back and told me to keep the header.
I'm going to have the flex sections cut out and have slip joints welded in.

You can order the correct turbo rated 1.5" flex sections from Treadstone and weld them in, they're right around $25 each. I was going to go this route and weld them in but decided not to because:
-I didn't trust the header to last (possible cracking at the center area)
-Introduce more heat stress into the already thin and used 304
-Spend more money on a $150 header, not including wrap and my time.
I'm running my ported manifold for the time being but will probably go back to an EL header after an oil pan switch.
Wish you had posted up earlier with the failure, I can only imagine how many other people have gone through the same BS.

On-song Antrim hurlers are ready to the hit high note
Antrim hurling supporters certainly know when to pick the right moment to blast out their signature tune.
At half-time of the All-Ireland club hurling semi-final - with Ruairi Óg Cushendall leading Galway's Sarsfields by 1-4 to 0-5 - the sizeable crowd piped up with the unofficial anthem of the area, 'The Green Glens of Antrim'.
"Soon I hope to return to my own Cushendall, 'Tis the one place for me that can outshine them all," they sang.
Their heroes responded by adding an astonishing 2-8 in the second-half to make their first All-Ireland club final at the ninth attempt.
Another time that song got an airing at a hurling match was in the mid-80s at Casement Park, during a league campaign with the late, great Jim Nelson as manager.
Full-back Ger Rogan recalled: "The last game was against Dublin. Whoever won gained promotion to Division One. It was a cold day, it was in Casement Park and we won. But when we did, the crowd started singing 'The Green Glens of Antrim'. It was a most amazing experience."
Last Saturday, this paper carried an interview with Ruairi Óg star Neil McManus. While assessing their chances against the Galway side, he said something that wasn't in keeping with the kind of humility demanded of people involved in Ulster hurling - "I wouldn't be swapping the panel of players that I am going into Saturday's match with any other club in Ireland."
This Sunday, Antrim open their National League campaign away to Derry in Division 2A. There is a group within Antrim hurling that would be appalled by this situation.
If a strong Antrim county team is to emerge, two things need to happen - the club scene needs to drive the county side and hurling within the Belfast clubs needs to begin bridging a significant fault line.
The strongest ever Antrim team were under the care of Nelson within the 1988 to 1993 period.
It was no coincidence that from 1986, five consecutive Championships were won by different clubs - McQuillan's, Ruairi Ógs, O'Donovan Rossa, Loughgiel Shamrocks and Cuchullain's, Dunloy.
Far from fearing that culture, Nelson harnessed it and encouraged the clubs to hurl hard against each other. The one thing he would not stand for was rivalry spilling over into a county dressing room, forcing players from different clubs to sit beside one another in meetings and room together.
After that period, Cushendall and Dunloy shared 19 of the following 20 Championships, O'Donovan Rossa breaking the hegemony in 2004 in a period that was characterised by the erosion of Antrim's fortunes at county level.
The success and attractiveness of a domestic Championship is often used as a lazy excuse for under-achievement by a county team. Step forward Derry football in this regard. The Tyrone football Championship has the same level of fierce competition as Derry, only with less tub-thumping.
PJ O'Mullan Jnr knows there is nothing wrong with a little bit of spikiness. After being appointed as county manager, we put it directly to him that having been involved with a Loughgiel team that won an All-Ireland, there might therefore be a toxic residue and envy remaining from that time.
He responded: "Rivalry is healthy. I want clubs to play hard and fair against each other and always encourage players to represent their club with pride. But equally, I demand commitment to the Antrim jersey when they come together."
Clearly, he picked up plenty from his old mentor during their spell together at the Shamrocks.
Right now, Antrim has a thriving club Championship. This year's final between Cushendall and Ballycastle was fiercely fought out, and only for a rebound that came back off the crossbar it might have been Ballycastle preparing for an All-Ireland final now.
Elsewhere, you have strong Dunloy and Loughgiel teams, making the spread greater than it has been in some time.
One of the key aims of the Saffron Vision group has been to arrest the slide of hurling in Belfast. St John's have shown a lot of promise at under-age. O'Donovan Rossa won an All-Ireland Intermediate title last year and if football wasn't as prominent in the club, you never know what a St Gall's team could produce.
If all that comes together, you never know. You might hear 'The Green Glens of Antrim' from the stands once more.

There were already strings in my bow when I became an indie author.
I'm not talking about having a bow, half strung. However, one with loose strings, frayed and flying from previous symphonic madness … probably, I was waving that like a flag as I staked my claim on this authoring path.
Regardless, I always have had and always will have a bow that is strung completely and perfectly. It must be so. I tend to get edgy when things don't line up. Things like the edges of a book that I surreptitiously tap with gentle fingers until it is square with the corner of the table.
Like any accomplished reader of the score of life, I must restring my bow at the appropriate moments, and slather on the rosin at others.
I didn't come to this career without foreknowledge. I bring with me a wealth of understanding and depth of self-knowing that serves my stories and characters more thoroughly than being able to spell complicated words.
Although, I generally manage to do that without hiccough (because I think it's cool).
Point is, everyone has a path littered with shredded bits of bow trailing off behind them. There are even chips of wood and some completely shattered frames on mine.
That's okay, find a likely looking tree beside the path, and get whittling! I only cut my fingers on very special occasions, and rarely on purpose, these days.
My release of limiting beliefs has unleashed an awesome fearlessness. It's simultaneously bizarre and hilarious. I sit on my own shoulder, observing the wonderful madness of me, going ahead, and doing the work I feel drawn to create. And, I don't care if nobody except me falls in love with the result.
Such daring. {My latest bit of daring.}
I read that last line and have to laugh with an unrestrained blatt of vocal eruption — it's just so damn funny. Because, now, the daring doesn't leave the cloying aftertaste of fear behind.

Recent headlines indicate that the use of addictive drugs like heroin by pregnant women transfers the addiction to the unborn child. Babies born drug dependent need special care and suffer withdrawal symptoms as they are weaned off the drug.
However the figures for drug-dependent babies are dwarfed by those who suffer permanent disability, both mental and physical, as a result of their mother's drinking. It is estimated that as many as 1 in 100 babies is born with some degree of Foetal Alcohol Syndrome which, even in its mildest manifestations, can result in behavioural difficulties that are challenging both for parents and society as a whole.
It is tragic that so many children suffer through no fault of their own – and this highlights the need for drug and alcohol education to stay high on the agenda both inside and outside of the school system.


text: Here's an update on my 9th annual Kuser Park Gazebo summer Sunday sing along series. Last Sunday and the Sunday before saw about 70 music lovers coming out to the bucolic shady glen at Kuser Park and enjoying 2 hours of songs; songs ranging from love songs, to hymns and songs of faith, and the songs of Rosemary Clooney, Joni James, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, well, you get the idea; music that has a melody, understandable lyrics and is as far from "Acid Rock," "Rap," and "hip hop" as the East is from the West. The event is free. My partner Jack Pyrah and I are not professional singers, but we can both carry a tune and bounce around some harmony now and then, and by the sound of last week's crowd as we sang the National Anthem and "God Bess America," most of them could also belt out a very nice sound! Come on out Trenton, Ewing, Pennington, Princeton.....the water's fi....oops, scuse me, the music's fine and fun!

Not TV, but from radio, just about every joke on Car Talk. Those guys would tell exactly the same jokes week in and week out, and somehow they could deliver them as if they all were brand new.

Mooresville, NC (PressExposure) December 07, 2009 -- Get Real, The Real Estate Investing Show for the Rest of Us interviewed Todd Senff from Equity Trust Company this week. Equity Trust provides third party custodial duties for investors who would like to use their IRA retirement funds for everything from real estate assets, new entities and the traditional equity investment options.
Todd explained that there are many benefits to investing in real estate by utilizing a self directed IRA. Under IRS regulations investors may invest qualified retirement funds in real estate and other entities. The profits from these transactions then are tax deferred in the same way that all other proceeds from investments are protected, as Todd explained.
Mr. Senff went on to explain that one of the major benefits of utilizing self-directed IRA funds is that investors and realtors can partner with private investors who have these funds to assist them in gaining quality returns on their retirement monies, backed by a real estate asset. Todd shared that there are billions of dollars sitting in private IRA's throughout the US and real estate investors can work with friends, family members and business partners.
Get Real invited Mr. Senff on the show to talk about funding real estate with self-directed IRA's as the mortgage market has tightened for real estate investors and finding financing for investment properties can be difficult. Even as the real estate market is hitting record lows signaling an ever increasing attractiveness to buying long term in-vestment homes.

Basement Bathrooms Ottawa
Improve the value of your home and make your basement a more livable space with installing a Basement Bathroom Ottawa.
A lot of the time, your basement might already be finished or partially finished. What makes that a truly livable and enjoyable space is having a fully functional Basement Bathroom Ottawa!
Let's say your house has one bathroom and a bath tub. Ideally you'd like to have a nice shower, but you are concerned that by not having a bath tub you will decrease the value of your home. This is when a basement bathroom can comes into the picture. Having a full bathroom in the basement not only gives your house more livable space, it will increase your homes value. Your guests can stay down in the basement bedroom and use the bathroom downstairs. Your kids can play in their play room and use the basement bathroom, and so much more. But having a basement bathroom with a tub/shower combination opens up a world of possibilities. Renovating your master bathroom upstairs. That shower that you always wanted but were concerned about putting in, is no longer a concern. Having a tub in the basement bathroom solves this problem.
A lot of times your basement is already "roughed plumbed" for the bathroom. If you live in a newer home, chances are your builder put in a rough plumbing into your basement floor for the future basement bathroom. What does that mean to you? It means you are half way there when it comes to a cost of basement bathroom renovation. More than that you may have other rough ins done already. whether it's framing or venting roughed in, there's a good chance you might be closer to having a basement bathroom done than you think.
Pictures shown are examples of the bathrooms done in basements. From inexpensive to don't want to use the word "cheap" as they are good quality bathrooms, so more elaborate bathrooms. You only restricted by the space you have available in your basement and your imagination as to what you'd want your basement bathroom to be.So give us a call at 613-883-7409. Miracle Dream Homes and we will be happy to consult you on your particular case.
