text:
UFC 200 was billed as the Super Bowl of MMA and while there were plenty of highlights from the night, ultimately the UFC's grandest event failed to live up to the hype.
And it's not necessarily the UFC's fault after Jon Jones was pulled from the title bout against Daniel Cormier just days from the event taking place after he tested positive for a banned substance.
Without Jones the pay per view lacked that massive star power that a Ronda Rousey or Conor McGregor provide.
The homecoming of Brock Lesnar was a saving grace with his victorious return to the Octagon against Aussie Mark Hunt attracting the attention of the casual viewer.
But still it felt like they were missing something.
Meisha Tate's shock loss to Amanda Nunes was a highlight of the night but surely a rematch against Holly Holm would have been a fight more worthy of an event such as this.
From a die-hard point of view, it was a card stacked with superb fighters from Jose Aldo, to Cain Velasquez and TJ Dillashaw but the omission of Jones left a bad taste in the mouth.
We've run the rule over the top fights from UFC 200 and grading each fight on the entertainment value, finish and star power.
Amanda Nunes Def. Miesha Tate Via First-Round TKO
For the third time in as many women's bantamweight championship fights, the title has changed hands. In what was one of the most exciting fights of the night, Amanda Nunes demolished Meisha Tate in the headline bout.
Was it main event-worthy? That's debatable but it sure was entertaining.
Nunes has become the first Brazilian female champion in the UFC's history and earned the victory with an impressive finish.
After landing multiple heavy blows, one of which broke Tate's nose, Nunes took Tate's back and finished her with a rear-naked choke.
The fight itself was fine but the hype was non-existent and if we're being honest, this could have been on the prelims and nobody would have batted an eye.
Instead it headlined the super-event.
The UFC has created a demand for genuine stars and with all due respect to both Tate and Nunes, they are not superstars.
Neither Tate nor Nunes is a Ronda Rousey-level main event level talent.
This fight would have been better billed as the headliner of a Fight Night event rather than the centrepiece of 200.
Brock Lesnar v Mark Hunt became the main event after the Jon Jones controversy, you only have to listen to the crowd to figure that out.
Fight grade: A
Brock Lesnar Def. Mark Hunt Via Unanimous Decision
This could have been on Fight Pass and it would have still been the main event.
This is the money fight.
After five years away from the Octagon Brock Lesnar returned against knockout artist Mark Hunt and won in convincing fashion.
There has long been a belief amongst MMA experts that Lesnar can't take a punch but you only needed to look at the left side of his face after the fight to see he got tagged several times.
Lesnar's never been one for cutting promos but the hype which surrounds him, coupled with his star power and long awaited return meant this fight sold itself.
His game plan was simple - go to the ground.
He's bigger and stronger than Hunt and played to his strengths.
He took Hunt to the mat and smothered him.
The beauty is it looks like Lesnar has the fighting bug again. So this exhibition probably won't be a one-off.
For Hunt it was a cruel loss. He had little to gain from taking the fight outside of a handsome payday and the allure of being able to potentially boast a knockout of Lesnar on his CV.
But that KO never came and now he may never get another shot he craves at the heavyweight championship.
Fight grade: A
Daniel Cormier Def. Anderson Silva Via Unanimous Decision
There's no denying Anderson Silva is a beast. He will go down as one of the greatest fighters of all-time and he should be commended for not only taking this fight on two days' notice but producing an admirable performance.
Sure, Cormier was originally supposed to headline for this event but when you consider what this fight means in the grand scene of things, it was lucky to be this high up on the card.
It was a boring fight. The crowd booed throughout it as Cormier wrestled and laid on top of Silva which resulted in his being stood up on more than one occasion.
But it's not Cormier's fault.
He won the fight but he's a loser in the grand scheme. Not only did he lose money after dropping from the top of the card but he was fighting a fan favourite.
By agreeing to fight Silva, he put the company first, but styles make fights and this isn't one which will be shown on the UFC highlight reel anytime soon.
Fight grade: C-
Jose Aldo Def. Frankie Edgar Via Unanimous Decision
Fight analysis:
Having Conor McGregor cageside for this bout set the tone for just how important this fight was.
It was Jose Aldo's return to the Octagon after his humiliating 13-second knockout at the hands of McGregor.
Sure, his bout with Frankie Edgar was for the interim featherweight belt but the bigger picture was setting up the rematch against McGregor.
First McGregor will fight Nate Diaz at UFC 202 and then he's expected to again do battle with Aldo.
Aldo beat Edgar by unanimous decision in what was a control and measured performance by the Brazilian.
The match was technical and very exciting at times.
Edgar ate a lot of punishment courtesy of Aldo's right hand but he also copped a bit of treatment too, especially in the first round.
Ultimately Aldo's class shone through to set up a bout that fight fans are already talking about.
Fight grade: B+

Aha! Finally had the time to blog! I know I've been missing for weeks now and that's because I was really busy with different things in my life. It was a crazy month! I don't even know where to begin with but I promise to update more and share to you my life.
In case you didn't know, I used to sell potted cacti and succulents until I had to stop the business because our house had to be renovated and had to help my mom around the house thus limiting my time to plant and to take care of them (because they really need a lot of attention and love).
Until I saw these two beauties!
I found this plant stand near a supermarket and I just wanted to take a look with really no intention of buying anything. But I saw these beauties kinda hidden at the back of the stand and immediately fell in love with them. I had to take them home no questions asked!
And the next day I planted them in a ceramic bowl because honestly It was hard to find a pot for their size!
Aside from that two beauties, I also brought two Cacti because I have two glass tea light candle holder all empty in our house.
And these is what I came up with! This is my Korean Inspired like Terrarium!
I met this open mic artist a month a go and instantly became friends and I turned to one of his fans. His words hit my heart on point at times that makes me cringe. I offered to make him some one liner photos for him to post. Here are some..
My baby Thor got really sick one day, I thought it was just he was not in the mood or really tired until I noticed that he's having a hard time peeing and slowly becoming very weak and I got really worried that time because I did my research and it says he might have a FLUTD or the Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease which should be treated immediately. Thor stayed in the vet for 3 days and the vet had to run two blood test and put a catheter on him. He's now doing fine! The sweetest cat ever thou he has to drink 4 types of medicine twice day.
Yup! I was also busy looking and applying for work. Wish I could have a regular work before the year-ends!
Not to mention I also cleaned my craft room which I will show it on the next post and also my Philippine Makeup drug store haul, so stay tuned for that!
P.S. It so good to be back to blogging!

Garlic bulbs (Allium sativum) consist of multiple cloves grouped together in the form of the bulb. Each clove can grow into a full-sized bulb when planted properly. Although it's best to plant garlic from bulbs specifically grown as seed stock, you can also grow usable bulbs from some grocery store garlic. The garlic found in grocery stores may not feature the high quality or disease resistance of seed garlic, but it will usually sprout and produce bulbs. Selecting the best grocery store bulbs and planting them correctly increase your chance of success. Plant garlic in the fall for a summer harvest.
Select plump, large bulbs with no damage. Choose organically grown bulbs, if possible, to ensure they haven't been treated to prevent sprouting. Treated bulbs usually fail to grow.
Spread a 2-inch layer of compost and 1/2 pound of 16-16-16 fertilizer over every 50 square feet of bed. Turn these amendments into the top 6 inches of soil with a spade.
Pull a hoe down each row of the bed, creating a 6-inch-deep furrow. Space the furrows 6 to 10 inches apart.
Break apart the garlic bulbs into separate cloves, leaving the papery skin encasing each clove intact. Set aside the smaller inner cloves for culinary use, and select only the larger outer cloves for planting.
Plant each clove with its flat end down in the furrow so that the pointed end of the clove sits 1 to 3 inches beneath the soil surface. Space the cloves 3 to 4 inches apart.
Fill in the furrow with soil, burying the cloves. Water thoroughly to settle the soil, moistening the bed to an 18-inch depth.
Cover the bed with a 2-inch layer of mulch, such as straw. Continue to water every seven days if the soil begins to dry.
16-16-16 fertilizer
Straw mulch
Things You Will Need
Garlic benefits from additional fertilizer in early spring. Apply 1/4 pound of 21-0-0 fertilizer to every 50 square feet of bed, sprinkling the fertilizer between the rows of garlic.
Harvest garlic when the foliage yellows and dies back in summer.

Coley's Toxins IV #12 - 104 Fahrenheit
Today, we decided to be a little daring and upped the dosage from 0.006ml -> 0.009ml (a factor of 50%). We decided to do this based on her response from fever #11 where we increased from 0.004->0.006ml. That 50% increase resulted in a clearly better fever, but still not quite high enough.
We got the go ahead from the doctors here. The fever was a little slow to start. Normally, the stronger fevers seemed to manifest chills 1 hour after infusion start. This one was later at almost 2 hours.
The historical records really are true - that robust fevers are clearly associated with more intense chills. Today's chills didn't last that long -- only about 30 minutes. However, it was clear that they were more intense compared to previous ones. Similarly, fever#2 resulted in intense chills as well. Today's chills were continuous and occurred in many places - in her shoulders, arms, legs -- and a new location -- behind her head! I suppose the pillow under her head prevented the heating pad from warming up that area. Nonetheless, it was interesting to that this is the first time chills have occurred there.
Once the chills subsided, her temperature began to rapidly rise. It reached 103.4F about 15 minutes after the chills subsided. Shortly thereafter, it peaked at 104F. This is the first time it's hit that high.
(Picture: Fatigued and bundled up with 5 blankets + heating pads during the chill phase).
Interestingly, her fever didn't sustain at high levels for long. As in fever#11, it began to drop quite soon after peaking. Nevertheless, it was still a good, robust fever, reaching the highest peak ever.
Other observations:
- The past 2 fevers have not resulted in much aching in her long bones and hips. This occurred quite noticeably in earlier fevers. If those aches were indicative of bone marrow growth, it would be interesting to see how her WBC counts this Saturday are.
- As before, she began coughing 30 mins after infusion of Coley's started. This time, the coughing was more frequent. Not more intense, just more frequent. Her temperature was normal at that time, but her face looked a little flush/red. Later on, during the post-chills phase when her temperature began to rise, I noticed that her cough also became quite frequent. Subsequently, it diminished as her fever decreased.
- We just spoke with another patient here at the Issels ward. She received Coley's subcutaneously into her arm. She developed a fever of 104F (40C) for 5 hours! Boy, was that a major fever! After the fever broke, she had profuse sweating. The interesting point is that other Issels patients have also reported very long lasting fevers, 8 hours or more in some cases, that had to be stopped with Tylenol. That may be an advantage of subcutaneous administration (the downside being pain at injection site along with possibly unreliable development of fevers due to variable amount of Toxins entering the bloodstream?).
(Picture: Special Mexican Lunch at Oasis of Hope Hospital. Unfortunately, she missed this lunch -- she can't eat lunch on the days that she gets Coleys. This is because the stomach has to be empty to avoid nausea.)

Title: Hands and Feet
Artists: Shirley Cameron, Roland Miller
Photographer: Wieslaw Dobron
Date: April 1978
Location: Tour of theatres and galleries in Lotz, Lublin, Warsaw, Poznan
Duration: 1.5 hours (theatres) to 3 hours (galleries)
Our reception in Lotz. We travelled as a family by train from London through Berlin to Poland. Our first performance was to be in Teater Pstrang in Lotz and we arrived in the early hours - much later than predicted. A reception committee lined up to great us with a song and a posy of flowers for Roland, myself and four-year olds, Lois and Colette. Food was brought and we ate, all together. Our memory is of exceptional warmth and interest in ourselves and our work.
Heads, Hands and Feet. The proposition was as follows - that our Heads, and all that was of them - complexion, hair, cigarette smoke, speech - all was yellow; that our Hands, and all that was of them - nail extensions, knitting, gestures - all was red; and our Feet, and all that was of them - boots, kicking, footprints - all was blue. In addition we hung stuffed fabric humanoids with matching extremities. The proposition was the start for a part improvised performance - (of which, for the first 20 minutes, the four year-olds, Lois and Colette, were a part.)

I rescued two lovely arabs about 2 1/2 years ago from the feedlots through your listings. A friend of mine in PA has one of the arabs, the older grey, Caspar. I have the bay with the adorable star. I'm including a picture of him. His name is Khalil, which means "friend" in arabic. What a lovely boy he is. We haven't done much training . . . not int he riding sense anyway. He has lovely ground manners, and has been building trust the entire time. He's a smart, affectionate, and attentive boy. Anyway, just wanted to check in and give you a follow-up! Thanks for coordinating this awesome placement!
This is Fortune, my 19 year old TB.
The chestnut is Ranger, my 24 y.o. TB, and then of course, there's Khalil. We guestimate he'll be 10. I've made his birthday the day he came home, November 3rd.
That's Ranger again, with Khalil getting personal!
And this gorgeous creature is Valentine, 8 year old Saddlebred. This horse was actually on the killer truck, as a stallion at the age of 2. Anja and the Carpe Diem crew tracked down the truck and rescued him. He's been gelded and trained. What a lovely fellow he is!!!
Caspar (flea-bitten grey), and Khalil (bay) are AWESOME!!!!!!! I chose the name Khalil (pronounced Kaleel), as it is Arabic, and means "friend". They are both getting fat, and are still at my friend Lynn's farm in western, PA. I am converting my barn into a garage and hopefully all the horsies will be "coming home" permanently in the beginning of November!

ISLAMABAD - The Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Tuesday announced O Level and A Level examination results that held in May/June this year.
This year schools in Pakistan made over 200,000 exam entries for Cambridge international qualifications, increasing by 6 per cent since 2012. Overall distinctions and the details of high achievers will be announced in the end of this year or in the start of the next year.
The CIE had cancelled Cambridge O Level and Cambridge IGCSE Islamiyat and Pakistan Studies and all the students across the country who sat in the exams were asked to take new examination for these two subjects. The students had protested the cancellation of papers on which the CIE had announced not to charge any examination fee.
Initially, there was resentment among students but the results show that it hardly impacted their performance and overall the result is good, said examination branch manager of a private school requesting anonymity.
Congratulating all students on their exam results, Michael O'Sullivan, CIE Chief Executive, extended a big thanks to students, teachers and their families for their support in making the second sitting of the Cambridge O Level and IGCSE Pakistan Studies and Islamiyat examinations a success.
"While it remains a source of great regret to us that this course of action was necessary, we are delighted to see that almost all of the 15,000 candidates who entered for the examination originally were able to participate in the second sitting. A small number have chosen to take the examinations in November 2013 instead, and will do so without any additional charge," he said.
He maintained, "Now the marking is complete we can see that the overall results are in line with those of previous years, confirming that the papers were no more or less demanding than usual. We take security of examinations very seriously, and must accept responsibility when security is breached. We must also uphold the integrity of our examinations so they continue to be recognised worldwide as reliable indicators of students' level of attainment. We have a duty to ensure that all students taking these exams receive a fair and valid grade."
The CIE operates in more than 160 countries around the world and in Pakistan it provides assessments and other educational support in more than 520 schools.

The Labour Party is in the biggest mess in its history, which is particularly noteworthy given that we are only two decades on from arguably its political zenith with Tony Blair's landslide election victory in 1997.
Currently John McDonnell is accusing leadership challenger Owen Smith of backing a Labour split, when in actuality it is the persistence and tenacity of Corbyn as leader that would most likely cause a split.
Either way, a split would be absolutely disastrous for the Labour Party, because in terms of obtaining a majority in General Elections it would hand the initiative to the Tories for the foreseeable future.
The breakdown of the party's problems is underpinned by the fact that Labour consists of broadly three groups. They are:
Group 1) The Parliamentary party itself
Group 2) The party members and union members
Group 3) The rest of the Labour voting population
The first group consists of the 230 Labour MPs, most of whose primary concern is having a job and receiving their salary for being an MP, and most of whom are not Corbynites. Most Labour MPs hover around the centre-left.
The second group are mostly Corbynites, and really do want Corbyn's brand of socialism brought into this country. They are campaigning hard and being very vocal in their unbending support for Corbyn. Naturally, being in their hundreds of thousands, group two is considerably larger than group one.
The third group, and by far the largest number of people out of the three groups, consists of everyone else that votes Labour up and down the country. In the past couple of decades the majority of this group seem to be more aligned with group 1 than group 2 - that is, they are fairly socially conservative, and are more likely to want to embrace a freer market socialism than Corbynites.
All that is quite commonly known - the members (growing in their thousands) are all-out for Corbyn, and as they have the ultimate vote, look likely to keep voting him in until the next election. MPs, on the other hand, feel certain (with justification, I'd suggest) that under Corbyn Labour has zero chance of winning an election, so will do all they can to adopt a position contrary to that of their members and oppose Corbyn.
So it seems we have the irresistible force of the majority of Labour MPs saying they will not support Corbyn, up against the immovable object of Corbyn saying he won't betray the members by resigning. What isn't so clear is quite how the landscape lies in terms of those that vote Labour up and down the country.
Those voters have seen so much change to the party's structure and composition in the past 18 months, it's unclear how the landscape is going to change, particularly as we have at least seven classes in Britain nowadays, and the mainstream parties are so alike these days it's a lot easier to get votes off each other (even UKIP can get votes of Labour these days).
Jeremy Corbyn wants a full fat socialist revolution; Owen Smith, his challenger, wants a socialist revolution-lite. Both have dangerous ideas.
We need a socialist revolution to about the same extent that biological evolution needs a young earth creationism revolution; that astronomy needs an astrology revolution; that the caloric theory of combustion needs a phlogiston revolution; and that the Copernican view of the solar system needs a Ptolemaic revolution - in other words, it's not what we need.
What's needed is for people to have better knowledge of the thing that's true and factual and beneficial to the world, not more of the thing that puts obstacles in the way to those pursuits.

Dabbĩ ( Pronounced Daaahhbeee ) An ancient Icelandic folklore tale.
Often likened to The Abominable Snowman / BigFoot / Sasquach. Rumoured to be 10 – 14 feet tall, covered in white fur, with hands the size of seals.
There are many references to Dabbĩ, in modern Icelandic customs. To this day whenever a toast is given (particularly in northern coastal areas) 'Prőőg' is announced and glasses are tipped left-handed in respect for Dabbĩ.
Many scholars have devoted their lives learning about the origins of Dabbĩ, yet little is known of his background, where he came from or where he went to. Stories and tales are passed through the generations, father to son, mother to daughter.
Beginnings of Myth[edit]
Dabbĩ was very much a fable in 900 ad Iceland. Many had claimed to have sighted him, but few were able to prove it. Many fishermen fishing close to the shoreline, claimed to have see his huge figure by the waters edge. They claim to have seen him picking up seals, three at a time and devouring them in one mouthful. With no attacks on the inhabitants of northern Iceland, and due to the remoteness of his whereabouts, Dabbĩ maintained a solitary existence for much of his life.
Vikings Attack[edit]
In 1060 the Vikings attacked Iceland. An enormous fleet of Norse long-boats landed at many ports at once. Iceland was in total disarray, not knowing where to protect first. After three days, Iceland was over thrown, many of its men killed in battle. A deal was done whereby if Iceland surrendered to Klăăărnod, a fierce Viking ruler, then there would be no more bloodshed.
The Icelandic peasants agreed to this, and once more peace reigned, albeit at a price, their freedom. Klăăărnod and his brother Hăg introduced many changes to Iceland. They introduced shoes, beer and basic writing techniques. Many saw these as improvements, but many still saw the invaders as sworn enemies. A small division of dissident Icelanders retreated to the hills to escape the Vikings. From there, they plotted to overthrow these Norsemen who had taken their women and made them wear shoes. The Vikings sent their best warriors to hunt them down like dogs. They retreated further into the wilderness, and were not seen again for two years. Banto the leader of the dissidents regularly planned attacks on the Norse strongholds, but none were effective. His people were losing faith in him. They were weak from eating moss, and many considered surrender as their only option. All of them returned to Ölfusá , Landmannalaugar and Latrabjarg, the main Norse strongholds to beg for their lives. Many of them were spared , although it is widely believed that two of the senior members were fed to the dogs, to make an example of them to any other would-be insurgents.
Disguised as a dead swan Banto observed this massacre from within the village of Latrabjarg.
Weeping, he left the village and he walked north to Ruafarhofn. He sat there for thirty days looking out to the sea, praying that his country would be free from the tyranny of the Vikings. Eventually he lay on a rock by the sea. He was nearly dead from starvation and a general hopelessness. He closed his eyes and knew it was all over. That night Dabbĩ approached him, thinking he was a seal. When he spotted Banto he approached him with caution. Banto woke, paralysed with fear when he saw Dabbĩ's hulking figure. He prayed out loud that he wouldn't die this way. Dabbĩ picked Banto up, and carried him away. He walked and walked and walked. Banto lost consciousness from the fear he experienced. When he woke he heard voices and women and children screaming. He looked out from Dabbĩ's huge arms, and noticed that they had walked into the village of Ölfusá. The Viking soldiers gathered to assess the situation. Dabbĩ let Banto down onto the ground and stood in the centre of the village. There was silence. Suddenly Dabbĩ let an enormous roar, and attacked the Vikings. They were useless against his sheer ferociousness. One by one he literally tore the Viking enemies apart. More Vikings came but they met the same ending as their allies. After one days fighting, the remaining Vikings fled to their long-boats to escape Dabbĩ.
Fan Dabbi Dozy[edit]
The villagers cheered Dabbi as he massacred their enemies. When it was all over, Dabbi collected the Viking heads. He carried the heads by the hair to the shore and arranged them in a line. Then he took a few steps back and literally kicked each head into the sea. Many of the heads hit the retreating Long-boats, adding to the fear that they were already experiencing. Just as St Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland, it is widely believed that Dabbĩ drove the Vikings from Iceland, never to return.
Dabbĩ left the spot shortly after, walking north along the coast, never to be seen again.
Yabbi Dabbi Day[edit]
There is no official Dabbĩ day in Iceland, but many fishermen celebrate May 9th. No fishing takes place this day, in respect of Dabbĩ. One of the customs is to bring a dead seal to the rock where Dabbi discovered Banto. This is seen as extremely good luck for the fishing year ahead.
Today, many naughty Icelandic children are warned that if they don't go to sleep on time, then Dabbĩ will come and remove their head….an old wives tale rooted deep in Icelands past.

My Daddy gave me my first gun when was 8 or 9 years old. It was a single-shot 12 gauge shotgun that kicked the snot out of me every time I fired it. I spent a lot of time with that gun, hunting squirrels and rabbits. Mostly it was just a companion during time spent in the woods. There wasn't much else to do in the country back in those days.
We always had guns at home, and I assume most everyone else did too. And they weren't hidden and locked up. They hung on gun racks where they were easily accessible. That was perfectly normal and never seemed strange to me in any way.
On a farm, guns are tools. And when you need to do a task, it always helps to have the right tool.
A few years ago we were having trouble with coyotes attacking our goats and I didn't have the right tool for the problem. I needed a varmint rifle, which is a rifle designed for shooting small game at long distances.
So I went to our local Dicks Sporting Goods (a large sporting goods store) to get one. We had a .222 when I was growing up, so that's what I had planned to buy. But I learned that they aren't in production anymore, the industry having transitioned to the .223 caliber.
And this is when things got weird. Dicks had plenty of .223's. Lots of them. But instead of being the kind of varmint rifles I wanted and remembered, they were all tricked out military-style, with pistol grips and high capacity magazines. I explained to the clerk that I didn't want or need anything like that. I just wanted a sensible bolt-action varmint rifle that could hit a coyote at long distances. As it turned out they only had one gun in the store that was suitable for me (a Remington 700), but even that one had a ridiculous camouflage paint job.
So how did it come to pass that in a rural farming community it was hard to find a basic varmint rifle, but there were GI Joe-style guns galore?
I'd wager that when I was growing up in the 60's and 70's the biggest selling long gun in America would have been a .12 gauge shotgun or maybe a .22 rifle. Today, on the other hand, the best selling long gun by far is the AR-15, which has no sensible homesteading or hunting value.
Just one more example of how separated we've become from our agrarian roots.
An interesting side note: I just visited the Dick's website, as I wanted to link to their .223 options so y'all could see what I'm talking about. But despite the fact that it was just about all they had in the store the day I went, there are none of the military-style guns on the website now. It turns out that they pulled all those guns from their stores following the Sandy Hook massacre. Nevertheless, the AR-15 style rifles are still the best selling rifles in the U.S. today.
By the way, I bought the camouflaged varmint rifle that day, but I never did shoot any coyotes.

For any smartphone lover, battery life is as important as his own life. Though this statement sounds hyperbolical, you can understand the value of your iPhone's battery life during an emergency; there are moments when you are away from an iPhone charger, and you don't have any other option to charge the battery of iPhone.
Thankfully, Apple has introduced a Low Power Mode feature in its latest iOS 9 release. And iDevice users accepted this as one of the best features ever announced by Apple in any iOS.
Low Power Mode Not Available on iPad in iOS 9
But this is not the end of the Battery Life Saga. There is a twist in the story. Of late, we have noticed that many iPad users have come up with a problem: Low Power Mode not available on iPad Air 1, iPad mini 2, iPad Air 2 and most of the other iPads.
As many comments poured on our post on how to enable low power mode in iOS 9 on iPhone and iPad, we took this problem and started some research.
We asked our developer friends too about this issue, but they are also clueless about this. Surprisingly, there isn't any update on Apple's community.
Hence, if you are an iPad owner and facing this problem, have some patience until there is any solution.
Normally, iPhones and iPads have similar features saving a few minor differences; but this could be a major problem as the entire feature is missing from iPad.
Let's hope for the quick answer from the experts sitting in Cupertino! Do share your feedback with us in the comment, on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus.

Cast members aren't the only fresh faces on the set, there's also director Patrick Hughes. Hughes has directed countless commercials around the world, but only one feature film prior to landing the gig that is helping The Expendables 3. Hughes' first movie Red Hill, a western staring Ryan Kwanten of "True Blood," is the very reason that he got hired to direct the third movie.
"I watch a lot of movies, a lot of screeners," Stallone said. "Probably three hundred, four hundred a year, and I can recall four that really stick in my mind. That's a good sign because it somehow has gotten in your cortex there and it resonates. Then when I found out how he did it, in what 18 days, with less than 500 grand in freezing weather I said, 'Imagine what this guy can do with some big paint brushes.'"
"I had the ('Red Hill') premiere at Berlin," Hughes said. "And sold it to Sony and then I had a call like four weeks later from my agent saying, 'You should know, Stallone is a huge fan of 'Red Hill' and loves your work,' and I was like, 'Cool, that's awesome, good to know.' A couple of years later I got a call from the agent again saying, 'Stallone wants to meet with you about a project,' and the project turned out to be 'Expendables 3.'"
Growing up an action movie junkie is what got Hughes where he is today, and even though he admits they're exhausting work, his love for the genre is apparent. Even Stallone couldn't help but pick up on Hughes' passion for the genre going as far as to call him "a real film scholar" before saying he's totally immersed in his work.
"This is the hardest (kind of) film," Stallone said, "And all these people will tell you, it's brutal, the logistics of it are gigantic, and he's just jumping around having a good time just like he was on the first day."
A life of devouring the genre not only prepared Hughes for directing an epic-sized actioner, but it also gave him an obvious short hand with many of the actors, their past films. Even just a fraction of the cast for The Expendables 3 have appeared in countless action films, and this basis gave Hughes a great insight into making sure they were prepped for the scenes.
"We were doing a night shoot and Sly rolled up and I was like, 'Sly, okay, you're going to stand here and you're going to be attacked by a helicopter,' and I said 'Much like you were in Rambo 3'… That's one of the things with the cast, they all just come from phenomenal backgrounds and I think that's why 'The Expendables' films work so much, and I think that's one of the things that shows on film, we had a lot of fun shooting it and it really does shine through."
A film of this size is not without its complications though. I asked Hughes about how he can make sure he's getting all the footage he needs, especially when you have a cast that includes so many characters. Hughes admitted that even when you're making a film with this many guns and explosions, getting all your coverage is the biggest challenge of the production.
"I was saying to a friend, a fellow director, it's one thing to shoot a three way conversation in a cafe to get the coverage on the actors, but to shoot a 13-way conversation in a battlefield. That's a challenge."
Despite facing a new breed of challenges on The Expendables 3, Hughes handled the job with ease as the cast was quick to compliment his style on the picture and his abilitiy to handle the mammoth production.
"So many times in the past I've tried to find start up directors," Stallone recalled. "And have been grossly disappointed. Things happen, under the pressure you buckle… He's very specific, he knows what he wants, he's not going to let everyone go, 'oh, you say what you want to say,' he's very specific about it. He's gonna be a great one."
"I would never have guessed that, honestly," Kellan Lutz said regarding the film being Hughes' second feature. "On previous movies I've seen it time and time again where you have such an all-star cast like that and you get a first time director, you know he's not directing, they just need a face to do the hard work and then have some A-list actor say, 'This is what I'm going to do, you shoot it like this.' There was none of that at all… Sly picked him for a reason."
Even though the stage has seemingly been set for The Expendables to hang up their holsters following the events of the third film, the franchise has proven that it's immensely popular with the previous movies combined grossing well over $550 million at the global box office.
"That's the hardest thing about doing sequels," Stallone said. "People think it's easy, it's not, because you've lost the element of surprise. How do you keep stacking the deck? How do you put on layers there without being too pretentious or trying to hard?"
Antonio Banderas echoed this, saying, "One thing that Sly was saying all the time on the set is that we can not lose quality, we have to actually improve whatever we did in the second one and give the audience something that will surprise them in a better way."
Expendables fans shouldn't worry too much about the franchise not continuing, as Stallone clearly still has plans for the future. On the set we asked him about some other actors that had previously been linked by rumor to the franchise, and he even mentioned a name, equally as amazing, that hadn't been quite as public as some of the previous rumors.
"Clint (Eastwood) is so involved in what he's doing, that's kind of a pipe dream," Stallone said. "I was going to go with Jack Nicholson, and we just got there a little too late, because he had said he might be interested. There's still some interesting avenues out there. I want to get, if possible, the most unique actors from the past and just put them on there once and for all, if we can. It just seems like an interesting quest to just do that, because I don't know if it's ever going to happen again, you know what I mean? And we're sort of not getting any younger. So we're very lucky and we're gonna keep going."
Earlier in our chat, Stallone made reference to how much fun the group was having on set of the third outing just before mentioning, "And then we get ready to do 4, 5, 6 and 7." It was hard to tell if he was being serious in that moment, but he clearly still has a passion for the stories that are being told about this band of misfits, and as long as people are willing to listen, he seems eager to tell them.

A Nice Snorkeling Tour
One morning in a place called Labuhan Lalang, along the Singaraja-Gilimanuk Road in north-western Bali, I am waiting to take a small boat to a paradise. The pier was built on a beach with black volcanic sand, but I will soon be walking on much whiter, coral sand.
My destination is a small island in the heart of West Bali National Park, called Pulau Menjangan (Deer Island, in Indonesian).
West Bali National Park covers a large region of lush rainforests and coastal coral reefs, including that island that I am going to visit.
The interior of the island is made of a kind of savannah, a mix of grasslands and groups of trees, it also features a Hindu temple built right on the seashore. But the real treasure of this island lies underwater: coral reefs.
Quick Info
GPS (jetty): 8°5'33.26″S, 114°31'28.34″E
How to go: Tour booked at your hotel or guesthouse
Tour price: From Lovina, about Rp. 450,000 (33 USD).
Duration of the tour: About 8 hours including transfers.
The Coral Garden: North Coast
The first place I am heading to is a snorkeling spot named "the Coral Garden". The name says it all!
In the distance, the majestic cones of the Ijen volcanic complex break the horizon line and make a wonderful background for the island's crystalline waters.
These volcanoes are located on the island of Java and they include one of the most spectacular experiences that Indonesia has to offer: Kawah Ijen, which I had visited a couple of years before.
Back to Menjangan Island, my boat now firmly tied to a wooden pier dried by the hot sun, all was left to do was jumping in this highly appealing, turquoise and transparent water.
The Coral Garden is one of the most beautiful snorkeling experiences that I had as far as I can remember. I have good memories of snorkeling around Tioman Island in Malaysia, but I think West Bali national Park might be a level above Tioman for coral density.
There is a good density of colorful coral and all the marine life that goes with it. I wish I had the equipment to make an underwater panorama there!
After a good hour snorkeling around the coral reef, I decided to go explore the island. I followed a track across the island, past the Hindu temple where a small community lives, and through quiet grasslands almost all the way to the opposite coast of the island. This is not a big performance as the island is very small!
The South Coast
It is now time to take the boat again for a short ride to another part of the island – on the opposite coast. Here another snorkeling spot awaits me.
This time it was quite different. It was along drop-off, a kind of underwater cliff. It was pretty impressive because there is no transition between the shallow plateau surrounding the island and the deeper sea.
You would swim in the shallow waters, looking at the coral and all of a sudden a cliff goes down into the darkness of the sea that is so deep that you can't see the bottom.
Along this edge is where I found the most beautiful corals and bigger fish. Again, it's a pity that I didn't have any equipment to take any underwater pictures like I had done in the Raja Ampat Islands, another exceptional region for snorkeling (and of course for scuba diving!)
I also enjoyed myself exploring this side of the island, the coastline was interesting. It appears there that this island is actually made of a platform of coral that got out of the water with land movements, and that is now eroded by the restless attacks of the waves.
From this side of the island can be seen the mountainous landscapes of the inland part of the West Bali National Park, covered with a dense jungle.
Last Thoughts About Menjangan Island
This trip to Menjangan Island was one of the nicest excursions I did in Bali! Its geographic location is pretty cool, at the western tip of the island of Bali, and there you realize how close you actually are from the much bigger island of Java.
West Bali National Park protects a region that represents so well the Indonesian archipelago, with a subtle mix of coral, volcanoes and rainforests.
It is very easy to plan a day trip to Menjangan Island, the most convenient being if your accommodation is along the north coast of Bali such as in Lovina.
It is very affordable and if you are a snorkeling enthusiast (or even just a beautiful landscape enthusiast!), you will remember this place for a long time!

Hello everyone; I know I have not posted anything in a while (humble apologies). So, I am going to try to get back on track today – and what a fitting day to renew my efforts. Today is Saturday, the day of the week dedicated to the Blessed Mother. I love my Mother and will do as she directs – for she leads me to her Son. Indeed Christ ought to be the goal of every soul and His Mother will always lead you to Him.
St. Francis de Sales is one of the souls who gave himself to the Blessed Mother. She in turn, led him to Christ. Now he stands before the Throne of God as a great saint, forever singing the praises of the Lord.
So please join St. Francis in honoring our Blessed Mother, on this her special day.
Prayer of St. Francis de Sales.
O most holy Mary, Virgin Mother of God, even though I am most unworthy to be thy servant, I am moved by thy motherly care for me and long to serve thee.
I choose thee this day to be my Queen, my Advocate, and my Mother, and I firmly resolve to always be devoted to thee and do what I can to encourage others to be devoted to thee.
My loving Mother, through the precious Blood of thy Son that was shed for me, I beg thee to receive me as thy eternal servant.
Aid me in my actions and beg for me the grace never by word, deed, of thought to be displeasing in either thy sight of that of thy most holy Son.
Remember me, dearest Mother, and do not abandon me at the hour of my death.
– Prayer taken from My Prayer Book Regina Press 186
Thank you and don't forget to offer little acts of love to our Blessed Mother on her special day.
P.S. Today perhaps you will consider joining my family, and many others worldwide – in the Lay Fast for Priests. Fast from anything you choose to 3:00 P.M. and then pray the Rosary. We also celebrate today the feast of Blessed Pope John Paul II – may this fast and his prayers increase the holiness in our priests.

Have you ever had a raccoon in the attic? You can usually hear their paws scratching along the ceiling. Or maybe you've had squirrels in the house? You might hear their chatter inside the walls or in the attic. Having these animals inside your home is less than ideal; wildlife should remain just that: wild. But unfortunately, wild animals sometimes find themselves on our properties, looking for food, water and shelter. This is a bad situation for us, because wildlife pose many dangers to our health and that of our family and pets and to the structures we live in. The wildlife that we most often encounter in St. Louis includes raccoons, opossums, snakes and squirrels. Each of these animals comes with their own set of dangers.
Raccoons: They will rip up siding and damage roofs in order to enter our properties. Once inside, they will damage walls, siding and personal belongings to make their attic nests hospitable. They carry rabies and raccoon roundworm and are hosts to ecto-parasites, including ticks, mites and fleas.
Opossums: They are messy animals that will harass your family pets, leave smelly droppings on your property and go through your garbage cans. They also carry ticks, mites and fleas.
Snakes: Can be venomous, which is a danger to the health of you and your family. They are also a source of stress to anyone with a fear of snakes, especially when they find their way indoors.
Squirrels: They can damage the structure of your home with their gnawing and nest making. They can chew through wiring as well, which is a serious fire hazard. They can carry rabies as well as ticks, mites and fleas.
There are a few things that you can do both inside and outside of your home or business to prevent wildlife from moving in. These prevention tips will minimize the possibility that you will play host to wildlife in your St. Louis home or business anytime soon.
Indoor Prevention Tips
Inside the house, look around for any situations that may invite wildlife inside.
Keep food stored up off the ground and away from the wall for easier inspection and sanitation.
Install tight-fitting weather stripping on both the bottom and top of doors.
Cover any gaps or cracks in the exterior of the home to keep pests from entering through these areas.
Install a chimney cap over your chimney.
Install hardwire mesh over vents.
Outdoor Prevention Tips
Outside of the house, look for areas that may be allowing wildlife pests to happily thrive on your property.
Keep wood piles tidy.
Remove clutter from around your property.
Don't leave pet food or water bowls outside.
Secure trash can lids tightly.
Attach trash cans to a structure (though not your home preferably) so that they may not be easily overturned.
Clean up fruit, nuts and bird seeds in your yard.
Following all of these pest prevention techniques can help deter wildlife pests from finding your home and property a hospitable environment, but they aren't fool-proof. If you find you are in need of wildlife removal in St. Louis at your home, you need to contact wildlife control specialists to take care of the problem. Getting rid of raccoons, squirrels, opossums and other wildlife is not safe to do on your own. Because of the health dangers that they pests pose, you don't want to get anywhere near them without the training that professional wildlife control experts have. For St. Louis wildlife removal that you can trust, contact Rottler Pest & Lawn Solutions. The wildlife removal specialists at Rottler have been specially trained to evict wildlife including raccoon, opossums, snakes, squirrels and birds and offer wildlife control solutions for the home. If you have a wildlife problem in St. Louis and anywhere in Mid-Missouri, contact Rottler Pest & Lawn Solutions today!

Healthy Families – Tips to Stay Healthy
We all love the idea of eating healthy as a family. Thanks to the ADA for providing these useful tips:
Identify free times for activity.
Keep track of each family member's daily activities for one week. You'll get a snapshot of when you might be able to get the family together for physical activity. It can also help you see which activities you can cut back on.
Pick two 30-minute and two 60-minute time slots for family activity time. Weekdays are usually better for 30-minute activities and weekends are better for 60-minute activities. Try to spread out the time slots. Here are some ideas to get your kids moving that parents can join in.
Make time to plan a weekly menu, go shopping and prep your meals.
Keep track of how many times you grab food on the go for one week. Once you find blocks of time when you can do a little planning, it'll be easy to learn healthy preparation methods, fix healthy snacks and eat fewer fast and processed foods.
Simplify your family's schedule.
In today's society we're expected to do it all. But this type of non-stop lifestyle isn't sustainable or healthy. Try prioritizing your activities and see what you can do without so you'll have more time for the things that matter. You can also work on stress management methods.
Take baby steps, not giant leaps.
If you're the head of your household, making sure that all the heads and hearts in your home are healthy is a lot to handle. The key is to take baby steps. Getting heart-healthy is a journey; you don't have to do everything at once. Learn how to get heart-healthy one simple step at a time.
Ask everyone in the family to do their part.
Depending on their ages, kids can help prepare healthy meals and help around the house. Treat your family like a team and encourage everyone to work together.
Live by example.
We all need to do our best to walk the walk. If we want our kids to eat healthy and exercise, we've got to model that behavior. You're not perfect, but if you're determined and persistent, there's not much that can stop you.
Maybe you have some other ideas that work in your family. Let us know what works for you using the comments below.

Five Ottawa-area authors share their must-reads for fall
What's on your fall reading list? We asked five Ottawa-area authors that question, and their answers were as varied as their own writing styles and genres.
Once you read what they said, their picks — most of them new books — may wind up on your own list.
Tim Wynne-Jones
Children's & young adult fiction writer
Must-read: La Belle Sauvage
By Philip Pullman
(It's the first volume in a new trilogy called The Book of Dust, which is a prequel to Pullman's earlier fantasy series His Dark Materials.)
In his words: I've read a tantalizing excerpt from La Belle Sauvage and can't wait!
In the new series, we will get to see Lyra again, one of the two protagonists of the earlier trilogy.
She is right there in the top 10 of my favourite literary characters of all time — earthy, right there in the dirt but then having to take on a task that is extraordinary.
I'm so looking forward to spending time with her again, even if she is only a baby in the new book.
Peggy Blair
Mystery writer
Must-read: The Traitors of Camp 133
By Wayne Arthurson
In her words: Wayne is a freelance journalist and it shows in his writing: He has an eye for the small details that make his work interesting and intensely readable.
I'm interested in his latest book, The Traitors of Camp 133, a historical mystery about a murder in one of the German prisoner of war camps Canada established in southern Alberta in the Second World War.
It's a departure from Wayne's award-winning Leo Desroches mystery series, which featured as its main character a journalist who, like Wayne, is half-Cree and half-French Canadian, and I'm as interested in the story as I am in finding out more about a forgotten piece of Canadian history.
Arthur Milner
Must-read: Playing with Fire: The 1968 Election and the Transformation of American Politics
By Lawrence O'Donnell
In his words: In the '60s, we baby boomers raised or re-raised a lot of important middle-class issues — the environment, feminism, gay rights — but in doing so, in North America at least, we wrenched the focus of left-wing politics away from issues of poverty and economic equality.
Now the middle class is getting the political attention, and we're embarrassed to say, "the poor." The 1960s changed America forever, and I want to see if O'Donnell addresses this shift in focus in looking at the 1968 election.
Jay Odjick
Graphic novelist
Must-read: The True History of Whistleblowers, Mass Surveillance and Drone Warfare: A Graphic Novel
By Pratap Chatterjee; drawn by Khalil Bendib
In his words: The title's a mouthful, but this is the most intriguing book on my list.
Verax dives into the world of electronic surveillance; how governments monitor both individuals and countries and weaponize software to attack the infrastructure of states and remotely guide U.S drone attacks; and the journalists and whistleblowers who told us about them.
Electronic surveillance is having an ever-increasing effect on our world, and with that comes good and less good.
Charlotte Gray
Biographer and writer of popular history
That's My Baby
By Frances Itani
At the Strangers' Gate: Arrivals in New York
By Adam Gopnik
In her words: Too many great books coming out this fall, but I have a couple that are top of my list. I'm really looking forward to That's My Baby. The third of a trilogy set in small-town Ontario in the early years of the 20th century, Itani's book will undoubtedly reflect this Ottawa writer's deep commitment to her characters and to beautifully crafted prose.
As a total contrast, I will plunge into Adam Gopnik's memoir, which covers the New Yorker columnist's transition from Montreal to New York in the 1980s. Gopnik is one of the most thoughtful and erudite writers
I know, but he also has a light touch: I look forward to his account of art, ambition and inspiration in the city that produced Donald Trump.

FOW has been waiting for spring to celebrate Forbidden Drive being named Trail of the Year by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation & Natural Resources.
Join the party on Friday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Valley Green Inn.
A brief featuring DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn and other speakers begins at 11 a.m., followed by a buffet lunch, guided hikes by Ruth Pfeffer and other local environmental experts and a volunteer activity.
Visit www.fow.org/event/trail-of-the-year-celebration for details.
by Maura McCarthy, Executive Director, Friends of the Wissahickon
Wissahickon Valley Park is a special place all year long, but I think my favorite season in the Wissahickon is spring, when there is a newness in the woods, a return of life. Many species of plants and animals rely on and thrive in the natural habitat that Wissahickon Valley Park's forests and meadows provide. It took a long time to feel like spring, but now that it's in full swing, click above for what some local experts tell us to look and listen for in the park this month.

Chelsea have always used John Terry and Frank Lampard as their leaders in Premier League matches and the pair helped the Blues to a narrow 1-0 victory against Everton today.
There may be pressure on Jose Mourinho to herald a new era of young and exciting players but Chelsea certainly still need their experienced talismen in the shape of Lampard and Terry. The two England internationals still continue to play some monumental 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea may have reinforced their defensive and midfield ranks in January in the shape of Matic and Zouma but there is still a need to respect the elder statesman.
Terry you legend! @chelseafc #CFC

Washington, DC – "Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system," then-Democratic presidential candidate Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle in January 2008, "Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." House conservatives, on the other hand, led by Mike Pence (IN), John Shimkus (IL) and Fred Upton (MI) recently unveiled an "all of the above" plan that focuses on energy independence, creating more jobs and ultimately a cleaner environment—all this without increasing energy prices or mandating a national energy tax.
Under current legislation proposed by Congressmen Waxman (D-CA) and Markey (D-MA) as many as 7 million jobs could be lost in addition to raising energy costs by as much as $3,100 per family.
By contrast the GOP plan seeks to lower energy prices through, "a commitment to increase the production of our abundant domestic natural resources, and not punish traditional energy producers and consumers." Whereas the Waxman-Markey legislation neglects to mention the necessity to increase the supply of carbon-free nuclear energy, the American Energy Act institutes a national goal of "licensing 100 new nuclear reactors over the next 20 years."
Nuclear production is only part of the equation. The plan also calls for America to develop its own natural resources by repealing laws that act as barriers to invaluable energy resources such as oil and natural gas, investments in renewables, alternative energy technologies and incentives for conservation.
FreedomWorks commends House conservatives for their response to the Waxman-Markey tax hike. The American Energy Act is a positive alternative that doesn't subject the American producer and consumer to unnecessary financial burdens.
FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe observed: "The Waxman-Markey Cap-and-Trade legislation is just another big government scheme that will continue to strangle our economy during tough times. This bill does nothing to stimulate the economy, nor will it result in any meaningful environmental change for the better. It is all cost and no benefit. Unfortunately, that cost will be incurred by the average American family."

Recognize the Symptoms Early
Menopause signifies the cessation of menstruation, which occurs around the age of fifty years. The peri- menopausal phase begins as early as thirty-five to forty years – during this stage the ovaries begin to decrease their estrogen output. Recognizing symptoms early will enable you to take natural steps to balance your hormones before the menopausal stage. Symptoms to watch for include: feelings of hopelessness or being overwhelmed, irritability, malaise, anxiety, depression and menstrual irregularities.
The Impact of Stress
During the decline of ovarian estrogen, the adrenal gland secretes weaker form of estrogen. However, the prolonged stress of modern life takes a toll on our adrenal function, greatly reducing its function, especially during the menopausal stage. Consequently, the estrogen secreted during the peri-menopausal and menopausal phase is even further reduced. Modern women have come to accept menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, night sweats, vaginal dryness, depression and irritability as normal. However, these symptoms can be prevented and relieved by naturally supporting the healthy function of the adrenal gland.
As we age and enter menopause we have to be aware of the other changes in the body, such as hormone imbalances, reduced bone density and heart disease. Making healthy nutritional adjustments is the key to preventing these outcomes. With the help of your naturopathic clinic intern, you can develop an optimal diet to help your body thrive during menopause. Your diet should be high in fresh fruits and vegetables, and should also include moderate amounts of lean proteins, raw nuts and whole grains. Menopausal symptoms can be greatly reduced by minimizing your consumption of red meat and dairy products, saturated and hydrogenated fats, refined carbohydrates, caffeine, alcohol and carbonated drinks.
Phytoestrogens in Foods and Herbs
Phytoestrogen in foods and herbs contain isoflavones, which are weak, estrogen-like molecules that adapt to the body's hormonal requirements. Isoflavones can act as a supplement if your estrogen levels are low, and they can also block damaging environmental estrogens that can unbalance your hormones.
Dietary phytoestrogens include soy and wild yam, and botanical phytoestrogens include Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis), Black Cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa). Any of these may help you naturally balance your hormones. To determine which foods and botanicals are most appropriate for you, consult with a naturopathic intern to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Because exercise stimulates endorphin activity in your body, regular exercise is one of the best ways to reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes. Studies show that impaired endorphin activity within the hypothalamus linked to hot flashes. Exercise also has many other health benefits such as reducing excess weight, building bone density, strengthening the cardiovascular system and improving your mood.

Tubi Style Italy has a history of working with top Italian marques, meeting the demands of exotic production cars, prototypes, super cars, Formula One teams, and a number of offshore ocean racing teams.
Each Tubi Style exhaust is created by a team of consummate craftsmen, some call them artisans, in a small modern factory in Fiorano, Italy. Each system is crafted by hand using the finest materials available and a superior manufacturing process which is also ISO 9001 certified.
Construction begins on a specific jig manufactured for each model. INOX 304 stainless steel is used internally and externally. Each exhaust is welded with argon gas pumped into the chambers and piping while construction is in progress. This prevents warping and insures strong uncontaminated welds. Flanges are fusion-cast stainless steel to maintain integrity during assembly and throughout the life of the system.
Exhaust gases flow unobstructed through the system. This enables increased engine performance while preventing the compromise of excessive sound resonance. An internal lining of Isolmer mineral fiber with a fusion point of 1159 degrees Celsius makes this possible. The mineral fiber insulation is held in place with perforated stainless steel, eliminating any migration of material throughout the life of the system.
Tubi Style exhaust systems are designed to be installed directly on catalytic equipped vehicles. They adapt to the car's existing hardware, allowing for quick and simple installation without modification.Tubi Style exhaust systems are individually designed for specific applications. For example, the Tubi Style system for the C5 Corvette uses a unique balancing pipe just before the dual stainless steel mufflers which helps achieve maximum performance. No other exhaust offers such a unique design.
If you're interested in power...If you're interested in performance...If you're interested in perfection...If you're interested in competitive pricing...Tubi Style exhaust systems are the superior choice for your exotic car.
