Contacts Cleaner
Developer: Aston Shaheen
Current Version: 1.7.3
Last Updated: 3 years ago
Download Size: 1.3 MB - Download
Contacts Cleaner analyzes, reports, and fixes dozens of problems with OS X Contacts and Apple Sync Services—problems ranging from the obvious, such as duplicated contacts, to the subtle, such as invalid characters and poorly formatted contact names.
Your contacts are the center of your personal social network, and as such are often synchronized among your Mac, your iPhone, and many other apps, services, and devices. Contacts Cleaner finds and fixes the little problems that can creep in while you're not looking.
Note: Contacts Cleaner currently does not fix contacts hosted on an Exchange server. Contacts Cleaner does work with iCloud.
For more information, tips, and a FAQ, see:
Release Notes:
* Bug fixes
* Minor UI tweaks
* New app icon
* Rebranded part of "Cleaner Tools for Mac"
New in version 1.7.2:
* Read-only contacts (such as those from Facebook) are handled better
* Better handling of pause command (",") in phone numbers
* Fixed a problem with international codes when fixing phone numbers
* You can now set a default area code to use when fixing phone numbers
Most Helpful Reviews
Solid but needs better handling of international data - A great app and does what it says on the tin. It will save you hours of time cleaning up your contacts. It would be great if they could look at formats for international phone numbers and how they can be treated as US/Canada numbers. I know it is possible to customise but it isn't helpful when you have a mix of numbers from different countries.
Lost all my contacts - Although the app looked like it worked, leaving me with a lovely list with my duplicates removed and messy contacts merged and cleaned up, some kind of interaction with iCloud occurred that left me with a grand total of 4 of my 200+ contacts remaining. If I restore a backup of my contacts, the restored contacts last about 5 seconds, then they all vanish again, leaving me with those same 4 contacts. This is an incredibly serious problem, and the lack of any useful support page is frustrating to say the least. If it had occurred to me at all that even restoring a backup wouldn't help if a problem occurred, I'd certainly not have even tried to use this in the first place.
More Reviews for Current Version
Best So Far - I was hesitant to pay for this app, i've had several attempts to clean up my contacts and merge between different accounts (google, icloud, etc). It won't go through your exchange accounts but I was fine with that this was fantastic. 4.99 was totally worth it for this one clean up system. It took me 20 min to clean up hundreds and hundreds of contacts and that was at the same time I was dealing with 3 kids and getting breakfast ready. Perfect! Now pull in exchange and we got the best clean up ever. Definately a need for this when you've had several accounts over the years of email and handheld media progression.
Meh - For what the use I got it wasn't worth the $5. There was only one thing I let it do for me and otherwise used the analysis to guide my cleanup tasks, but only because it gave a little more information than the native app does and let me see things side by side more easily. In my use case, I keep duplicates of many contacts in a Gmail account I share with my partner. This app wanted to "delete the duplicates". What really needed to happen is for the Contacts app to Link the duplicates between the two accounts. When I did that (select both, Cmd-Shift-L), this app stopped seeing them as duplicates. None of the other issues it identifies were issues I wanted it to "fix". I have a number of single name contact entries; nothing to "fix". It said phone numbers were poorly formmated, partially because I put "+1" at the beginning of U.S. numbers, I sometimes put spaces in the First Name field (Andy & Joan) etc. In reality, most of the problems it found were problems of its own making. Every "single name" error also produced "Shared Email" errors. Overall, not as helpful as I was hoping.
Worth the money - could be better - I like many considered nogt paying for this app. When i used it I was a bit disappointed; somehow I expected more. However, as i use it I am finding my contacts to be neater and cleaner. My international numbers it still treats as composed incorrectly (but it does stop bugging after a point). Because of the squared away feeling my contacts now have, I have finally moved into correcting pronounciations and relationships. I wish it did more such as taking one contact into two. e.i. I had many married people in one contact; now all as individuals. I had many businesses with named people as one contact; now each and the company as one also. I like that at th end of a scan I know all my contacts are there, not dupplicated many times and it sees no errors.
It works for me - Not sure why there are the one star reviews because Contacts Cleaner works for me. Would like it to list contacts that are missing a phone number, email address and postal address. But, over all, I am happy with the purchase.
proceed with caution - This App can and will hose your contacts. The app justly warns you to back up your contacts before using, but if your Contacts are linked with other outside accounts (i.e. gmail) an OS X Contacts archive might not back up everying that Contact Cleaner is mucking around with. You could find yourself (like me) in a data loss situation which not easy to recover from. Not pleased.

History of CODA-CERVA
CODA-CERVA had its origins in a coincidence of circumstances during the first decade of the last century. For several days the quarantine sheds at the port of Antwerp had housed a troop of zebu from India that were infected with rinderpest. When, some little time later, those very same sheds served to accommodate cattle raised in America, this became the start of a further wave of a highly virulent strain of rinderpest. Forty years after being completely eliminated from European territory, in 1920 rinderpest staged a dramatic comeback in our land.
This sad affair clearly showed the need to have a Belgian laboratory capable of making swift diagnoses. In order to safeguard animal health and hence public health as well, it was essential to establish such a laboratory, which came to be in 1930 , which was later (1957) called INRV (National Instiute for Veterinary Research).
The origin of LCR ( Laboratory for Chemical Research ) dates back to 1912 when a laboratory was founded at the economics department of the Museum of Belgian Congo. In 1928, a Royal Decree under the Ministry for the Colonies established the laboratory as the "Laboratory for chemical and onialogical research for the Belgian Congo".
Its tasks include the chemical study of Congolese natural products.
After the independence of the Congo the Laboratory was transferred to the Directorate General for Agricultural research of the Ministry for Agriculture.Thus the research was aimed at chemical problems that confronted agriculture. Since the 70s the Laboratory has also been studying environmental problems.
In 1997, the merger between the National Veterinary Research Institute ( INRV ) and Chemical Research Institute ( IRC) took place.
CODA-CERVA was the offspring of this marriage, which nowadays brings four operational directorates together, namely: ''Viral diseases'', ''Bacterial diseases'', ''Interactions and monitoring'' and "Chemical safety of the food chain".

Frozen bananas couldn't be a more simple or a more healthful snack. And imagine the additional benefits you'll get from the antioxidant power of a raw chocolate coating, chewy dehydrated goji berries, and crunchy raw cacao. You won't miss that gourmet ice cream, because you've made your own naturally gourmet pops!
When frozen, bananas are the perfect ice cream substitute. They're ultra-creamy and very satisfying. Dip them in your chocolate syrup and add any of a variety of toppings, including shredded coconut, chopped almonds or peanuts or other nuts, dehydrated cherries (chopped), blueberries, or raisins.
For a soft-serve ice cream with toppings, puree frozen bananas in the blender, spoon on your chocolate syrup, and add the toppings of your choice. You can even blend in a touch of coconut milk to pureed bananas for added creaminess.

Location: Crop Genetics Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
The overall objective is to develop soybean cropping systems that reduce disease and nematode incidence, maximizing yield and economic return.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
The Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station (TAES) will use existing and new research plot areas to measure the effects of soybean cropping systems variables, such as no-tillage, cultivar selection, seeding rate, planting date and use of animal waste, on diseases and soybean yield. This will be done on cropping systems experiments already in place at University of Tennessee (UT) and on experiments being conducted by USDA, ARS scientists in the Crop Genetics and Production Research Unit. TAES will provide expertise in possible cropping system changes to enhance economically and enviromentally viable soybean production.
3. Progress Report:
The effect of poultry litter application on tilled and no-tilled soybeans has been completed. The objective of this research was to determine if litter affects soybean cyst nematode levels and soybean yield. The agronomic part of the study is being revised for resubmission based on reviewer comments. The effects of tilled and no-tilled cropping systems on soil diseases and soybean cyst nematode incidence and severity are continuing to be evaluated. Research is underway on a long term soybean experiment comparing single, to double-cropped soybeans and winter wheat. The six main plot treatments include tillage (disc only, chisel plow, and moldboard plow) compared to no-tillage (single crop in winter wheat cover, single crop in previous crop residue, and no-tillage after wheat harvest in a double crop system). Each of the six treatments were split in 2002 with one half being no-tillage soybeans and the other half being tilled. Sampling was done on all plots to determine nematode populations, and soil bacterial and fungal levels in addition to effects on soybean cyst nematode reproduction. Charcoal rot incidence and severity was also monitored. The split plot design is being discontinued in 2012 with plots being restored to the original design because carbon data collected in the plots for 6 years indicated that carbon levels no longer reflected the changes in tillage. Similar data will be collected but will now include bacterial community structure analysis. This new research will involve more precise bacterial population determinations and measure the ratio of gram negative to gram positive bacteria. Undescribed bacteria parasitizing soybean cyst nematode have been found in this plot area. Research by others suggests that the ratio of bacteria may help determine bacterial predation potential. New work is also being planned on the effects of rotation crop, cover crop and spatial distribution of charcoal rot. This will be conducted at the Milan Experiment Station on a long term study where soybeans are rotated with cotton and corn both grass and legume cover crops established in each rotation each year. Presently the plots are in their second three year cycle of rotations.

Mini Eggplant Pizzas:
- 1 medium Italian eggplant – cut into 1/8 inch thick rounds
- 1 small fresh mozzarella ball – cut into thin slices
- 1 bag baby spinach
- 1 serrano/jalapeno chili – minced
- 1 fresh lemon – sliced in half
- 1 28oz can whole San Marzano tomatoes
- 1/2 large white onion – diced
- 4-5 cloves garlic – roughly chopped
- 2-3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp red crushed pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- handful of fresh basil
- grated parmigiana cheese
- salt
- black pepper
- PAM Olive Oil
- Olive Oil
1. Place eggplant slices on a rack over a cookie sheet. Salt each side liberally, and let sit for 30 mins to let all the moisture release.
2. While the eggplants are de-moisturing (can I coin this term?!), in a large pot add about 2 tbsp of olive oil to coat the bottom place over medium heat/flame. Add in chopped onions, garlic, and red crushed pepper. Saute for about 2 mins then add in the bay leaf and continue sauteing. Once the onions begin to caramelize, add in the tomatoes. and stir. Begin breaking up the tomatoes with your cooking spoon (they will soften up and breakdown as you go). Reduce heat to medium-low. Add in sugar, salt, pepper, and one whole sprig of fresh basil (do not chop it). Continue cooking for about 20 minutes. Taste – should be spicy and not too tangy. Adjust salt/sugar if necessary. Once its cooked through and thickened (whole cooking process should be about 30-35 minutes), remove basil sprig, add in a little less than a 1/4 cup of grated parmigiana. Add in a lot of freshly chopped basil, stir and set aside.
3. In a non-stick skillet, spray with PAM and place over medium flame. Add in minced serrano/jalapeno, and saute. Then add in the
4. Once all the eggplants have released their moisture, use a paper towel and dab each slices, making sure to absorb all the moisture on each side. In a non-stick skillet, spray with PAM and add olive oil if desired. Cook the slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until tender, but not breaking apart. Remove and drain on a paper-towel.
5. Assemble pizzas: Spray a cookie sheet with a bit of PAM. Place eggplant slices on the sheet. Layer on a slice of mozzarella on each, broil for a few min until cheese is melted. Remove and top with sauce, spinach mixture, generous amount of parmigiana cheese, and chopped fresh basil. Serve!

First a gift in the way of a YouTube video of the trip to Rock Shelter Trail…
Now, I have to tell you that this winter has given me time to pause and think about the direction of my life in coming years. Something inside me awakened at the realization of 50 years of time on this blue and green marble, and I resolved to take care of some unfinished business, in the order of getting off my lazy butt, stop making excuses for getting into nature which I have loved since childhood but only sporadically indulged in as I raised my family.
Why did I do that? I ask myself to no good answer.
I started getting back into it several years ago when I rediscovered the joy of riding bikes, and from then to now I've also discovered that I'm no speed demon, I prefer scenic paths, and biking isn't just recreation for me. All biking is transportation, and seeing that it is for getting me where I want to go, I figure that I'll be doing my share of bike camping and combination bike-'n-hikes. I'll find a way to strap my Kelty Trekker 65 pack to a B.O.B trailer and hit the greenways that lead to the hiking trails.
All of this is in anticipation of an upcoming Appalachian Trail thru-hike-most likely in 2020. Gotta get my legs underneath me, and that will happen as opportunity presents itself.
Where does that leave gramtrails.com? You'll be seeing a lot more blogging from me, a lot more products for your viewing pleasure. My main goal here is still to give you some green space to fill your screen space when you have to exercise indoors for whatever reason. You can live vicariously through my son Aaron and I as we film our adventures. Or you can use our videos to help pass the time and occupy your brain while exercising in an otherwise boring setting.
Mostly, we want you to be a part of our adventures. Let us know what you'd like to see. Tell us if we're doing it right or wrong. Ask about the products we're using. And get out there yourself as much as you can. We live on a beautiful planet, and the wonders begin where the street ends!

This is my first attempt at designing a stencil typeface. Still without proper spacing and kerning.
What you guys think of it?
Emiliano Amadei
This is my first attempt at designing a stencil typeface. Still without proper spacing and kerning.
What you guys think of it?
Emiliano Amadei
I'll comment. Sorry you feel ignored. This reminds me of something. Did you design a non-stencil version?
g -- love it
k & K -- too wide, curve of leg feels out of place
w -- looks squashed, probably because of middle vertical stroke
z -- too wide
s -- maybe too wide
V -- somehow out of place, can't figure out why
W -- seems out of place or off somehow
t -- too many cuts too close to each other
f -- same
I'll add myself onto Tiffany's comments, except that I have one more suggestion about the f. It looks like a r (I know, a different form than your r) with another stroke on top of it, instead of feeling more f-like.
I wish I'd get more comments on my font projects too. I have some stuff going on in serif and experimental that hasn't gained much attention.
What you have here is more of a broken-stroke design than a true stencil. That's fine as a decorative element in a digital font, but stencils are designed with something else in mind. If it's just the decorative impression of a stencil you're going for, this is great, but for a functional stencil you'll need to engineer it a bit more carefully.
The crossbars on a stencil (that appear as gaps in the letter forms) are structural members of the stencil board. there to suport the parts of the board that would tend to go floppy and break off dure to their narrow attachments or fall out completely from being fully detached otherwise. Graphic appearance is a consideration, but a secondary one.
Your "K" and "L" are good examples of this principle in action, while the V cut of the "M" looks likely to break or erode with repeated use.
Those curved cuts in some of your letters are very interesting, but would be unlikely to be used for a stencil other than a die-cut paper one not more than a few inches high.
Picture, if you will, each of those letter forms cut out from a 6 foot square steel sheet. Think of how you would most simply weld bars across the open letter spaces to hold all the pieces together through repeated handling.
I like this. The diagonal stroke of z is too thin. V/v looks out of place because the break is down the center, which has been deliberately avoided in all the other letterforms. 3 seems like it could use another break, perhaps across the lower right.

keysersoze0919 Review
Not good.
I already have the silver with all diamond ring like this one and I loved it so I thought I would get the one with black diamonds also. Well when I received it I was very disappointed. It looked cheap and would never wear that. I sent this one back. This won't deter me from shopping the other jewelry from Overstock though - you can't please everyone all the time and this time I just wasn't pleased.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? Not really.
- How accurate was the sizing? Very.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Subpar.

Clooney in Downton charity sketch
Hollywood superstar George Clooney is to take a guest role in TV hit Downton Abbey - for a charity sketch.
The Oscar-winning heartthrob, soon to marry British fiancee Amal Alamuddin, will appear in a one-off special film to be screened in December.
The actor has previously worked with Downton star Hugh Bonneville - who plays Lord Grantham - on the film The Monument Men.
Clooney was spotted at Highclere Castle, the location used for filming of the series, earlier this year alongside lawyer Alamuddin.
His appearance will feature in a Downton Abbey sketch which will be part of the ITV charity extravaganza Text Santa to be screened later this year.
A programme insider confirmed his involvement in the project. But the other actors appearing alongside him and the storyline are being kept under wraps.
Clooney, 53, has landed Academy Awards for best supporting actor in Syriana and was producer of Argo which was named 2012's best film.

I hate this question, "Are you ok?" My body cringes, eyes roll, and arms tense up when people ask me this.
I'll tell you why.
I don't think no one ever is "ok". Let's be honest. How about we define what ok is? Oh right. Ok doesn't have a definition.
But let's just imagine if it did.
"Ok is defined as being content with your life"
Well, if this is the case no one is ok. I don't think any high school senior is okay that college is so expensive. That half of us, if we don't get a full ride or proper scholarships, will be paying off student loans for a majority of our lives.
I don't think our parents are ok. They probably might be when their children are first born and watching them grow up. But once their kids are teens and start not needing to be attached to mommy and daddy every day, parents aren't ok. They feel their children are being distant or secretive or secluded. Need anymore synonyms?
How about cancer patients? Are they ok? I would think not. They didn't ask to have a deadly disease eat at them every single day. To lose their hair, to lose their strength, to lose their life.
This is the same for
HIV and AID victims.
Are they ok?
How about the parents of Trayvon Martin, Hadiya Pendleton, or the Sandy Hook Victims? I don't think they'll ever be ok. No one can bring back their angels. No matter how many tears they shed, they won't see their babies again. And the media on their backs like hyenas, probably doesn't give them a chance to properly grieve.
I'm not ok.
I know for a fact I'm not.
I'm not ok that I'll have 50% vision for the rest of my life. Yes, I've overcome it and I've used my disease as my motivation. But, at the end of the day the people around me have 2 eyes and I don't. That won't change.
I'm not ok that I'm sensitive. That every little criticism irritates me. That I over think everything. That I care about others more than myself. That this has been my personality since I was 5, and it still hasn't changed.
I'm not ok that my love life sucks. That the girl that I love can't see how much I care about her. That I've been struggling with my sexual preference since I started puberty. and that my sexual preference affects my religion, my family and my friendships.
I'm not ok that senior year isn't what I expected. That the week of homecoming was the week of the funeral of my friend that committed suicide. That my speech season ended way too soon. That by telling the truth about how I felt about a show I was cast in, ended my theater journey. That I possibly can't go to the college of my dreams because I probably can't afford it.
That when I was at my ultimate high this year, I lost someone who was a dear friend. To another suicide.
And I blame myself every single day for it.
And that my life won't be the same.
I'm not ok that the day before my 18th birthday. I'm worried about my sanity, my mother's health, about losing my best friend to something that I can't change, and that I'm writing a blog like this with a heavy heart
I hate those questions cause they bring negative vibes.
This is not a blog to say my life sucks.
This is a blog to say life is hard, and it's not getting easier.
Ask me.
"What's good?"
"What's great about today?"
"What are you looking forward too?"
Because these questions will bring positive vibes.
But just please don't say.
"Are you okay?"

Kirby Air Ride is a racing game that was made in 2003 for the GameCube. It is old I admit, but I was intrigued by a Kirby racing game, so I decided to check it out. It is now one of my favorite games ever! It is fast-paced and exciting fun and very challenging to complete.
Kirby Air Ride has three modes of gameplay: Air Ride, Top Ride, and City Trial. All of these modes have a list of achievements, unique differences, and sub modes.
Air Ride mode is a basic racing mode, except you only start with one car which is the Warp Star. Thankfully, most of the other cars are easy to unlock, but a few others are insanely hard to unlock. It has two sub-modes which are Free Run and Time Attack. In Free Run you have no enemies to obstruct you, so you can go for as long and far as you want until you quit. Time Attack is a mode to see how fast you can complete three laps.
Top Ride mode is a racing mode, but instead of playing at the regular view it is played at a bird's eye view with shorter tracks. Top Ride has no unlockable cars; instead you have only the free star and the turn star. Its two sub-modes are also Time Attack and Free Run.
City Trial is a mode where you have no choice of car in the beginning. Instead you always start on the compact star, in a city where you gather power-ups and find new cars in order to win in the mini game that comes after time runs out. You also can thwart your enemies by attacking them and gathering the power-ups that they drop. It also has two sub-modes: Free Run and Stadium. In Stadium you can freely play any mini game that you have played in City Trial.
Buy this game! I'll bet you enjoy it as much as I do.

Considering the multitude of robots we feature here over the weeks, it's good to see one that's still at its most basic, starting at its roots. We've seen robots of all sorts: bipedal, four-legged, and even ones that have wheels instead of legs. There are plenty of humanoid ones out there, too. And while this one's got its own fair share of humanoid features, from the video embedded below, you can see that it's still well in its baby years. So there should be no fear of it taking over the world, quite yet.
That is, unless your a child's playmat. The HRP-2, which is a manufacturing project from AIST, is moving on in the world. It wasn't too long ago that it wasn't able to do what you see in the video below, which means the engineers and designers are obviously hard at work at making the Promet one of the best robots out there. As you can see, Promet is perfectly capable of handling small terrain changes — no, they aren't in any way mountains or even mole hills, but at least it's a start where the engineers can build from.
And considering all the "competition" out there, making sure that Promet sees the light of day, and the top of the hill, should make their priorities pretty clear. There's no word on when the next advancement in Promet's systems or capabilities will be completed, but as soon as this guy can jump or play soccer, we'll be all over it.

Here you will find plenty of souvenirs to buy. From leather jackets to stupid T-Shirts (yes, I bought one of those horrible T-shirts too, I admit it!). Probably Florence is the city with more foreign visitors per square meter in the world. I think that this explains why this street market is so big!
We will now visit another of the famous churches in Florence: 'Santa Maria Novella'.

text: Derek Halpenny, European Head of GMR at MUFG, suggests that the key event this week also takes place on Wednesday with Chancellor Osborne announcing the UK budget at 1230 GMT. Key Quotes "Osborne has been busy in the media painting a bleaker picture for the UK economy and this is expected to be in preparation for announcing additional spending cuts in order for the government to maintain its target of achieving a budget surplus by 2020. Osborne has signalled public-sector spending cuts will be part of the overall plan to keep the fiscal targets on track with revenue-raising measures like increasing the bank levy and selling assets of the rescued lender Bradford and Bingley also likely. The spending cuts are not expected to be immediate and more likely to be loaded for the years towards the end of the parliament and which may well ultimately be matched in the future by an income tax rate cut and hence the budget announcement this week is unlikely to alter market expectations on monetary policy. Certainly though with Osborne planning further fiscal consolidation one could conclude that any downside surprises for the economy will have to be addressed by monetary rather than fiscal policy support."

Second Hand Smoke – A Solution
by taxmama on January 12, 2010
Fighting a neighbor's poisonous secondhand smoke can prove a double nightmare in condos, apartment houses or co-ops. Association boards, property managers and building owners typically refuse to intervene – and worse. The secondhand smoke victim is often denigrated by board members, attorneys, fellow neighbors and by the smoker(s).
Taking the matter to court is a lengthy, expensive and daunting prospect. I therefore took the road least traveled by secondhand smoke victims.
I wrote and published a book: SECONDHAND SMOKE CRIMES: When Neighbors Poison You, Your Family & Pets by Dr. Joyce Starr , to throw at the smokers, condo board and judge. The reaction was swift and positive.
A writer's pen may be the best sword (solution) in a life-threatening situation. The book captured their attention after a year of repeated complaints were ignored!
Numerous websites discuss the dangers of secondhand smoke. But chain-smoking abusers and their defenders rarely visit those sites!
Hopefully, my experiences and book will help safeguard adults, children and pets who suffer from secondhand smoke in multi-family buildings.

Boxing star pays touching farewell to his 'mentor' dad
IT was an emotional and heartfelt farewell to a man who steered numerous Irish boxers to fame and glory.
Olympic gold medalist Michael Carruth yesterday said a touching goodbye to his father Austin 'Aussie' Carruth, a much admired champion of the sport and the man who guided him to glory in 1992.
Mr Carruth died over the weekend, leaving 10 children, 29 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
He was a major figure in Irish boxing for many years and helped steer numerous young boxers to Irish and international honours from the Drimnagh Boxing Club in Dublin.
His son Michael said his life was boxing but his first love was his wife Joan, whom he married almost 54 years ago.
When he was training for the Olympics, his father acted as both his "mentor and my tormentor" and would wake him up at 4am to give him a glass of water as part of a strict diet.
Hundreds of people attended the funeral Mass in the Church of the Holy Spirit in Greenhills. They included a large number of boxers from the club in which Mr Carruth was the head coach.
The congregation heard how after his son had won the gold medal, the prize was wrapped in a worn and sweaty sock -- the only way it would not be stolen, Mr Carruth said.
Another son, Fergal, said it was not uncommon for his father to cycle out to Santry to work as a carpenter, before returning home to his family of 10 children. "It never fazed him.''
In addition to boxing, he had also been a gifted footballer, runner and long-jumper in his youth and had played a major part in the local community.
"He was a legend, he was a great man, he was so unassuming," Fergal said. "He lived life the way it should be lived."
Austin Carruth is survived by his wife Joan and sons Austin, Martin, Michael, William, Fergal and Robert and daughters Rebecca, Siobhan, Orla and Mary as well as a large extended family.
He was buried in Palmerstown cemetery.
Tributes flowed in at the weekend from a number of figures in the boxing world including Kenny Egan and Bernard Dunne , who was at the funeral, as was Tommy Murphy, president of the Irish Amateur Boxing Association.

I had such a fun time sharing my all time favorite movies one week during Top Ten Tuesday and was so happy with how much we all had to talk about with movies and all the recs I got! I've been sharing the things I've added to my Netflix queue but I was thinking why don't I round up all the things I've been watching sporadically? I mean, movies and tv are stories too! And I just really like any form of story-telling! For more What I've Been Watching posts, click here!
Movies I Watched
"With his parents preoccupied with their divorce, lonely 12-year-old Oliver strikes up a friendship with his war-veteran neighbor Vincent. A hard-drinking gambler with a fondness for hookers, Vincent finds his life changed by the boy's presence."
OH MAN. I love Bill Murray so much. SO MUCH. He's been in some of my all time favorite movies (Rushmore, Life Aquatic, The Royal Tenanbaums, Lost In Translation) so I've been dying to watch this one. Will and I LOVED it. It was funny but also really tender and emotional. I didn't realize that it was going to make me cry. I loved the relationship between Bill Murray's character and the kid — it was so heartwarming. Bill Murray, like always, really commits to his character and made him come alive and Melissa McCarthy & Naomi Watts were really great too.
Rating: 5/5
Gone Girl
"this unsettling thriller follows the mercurial Nick Dunne, who finds himself dogged by police and caught in a media maelstrom after he becomes the prime suspect in his wife's disappearance."
I was excited to watch this after reading the book last year! I actually thought it was a pretty good adaptation. Will, who has not read the book and I told him NOTHING, really liked it and was like "WOW THAT IS NUTS." I do think my reaction READING it was more shocked than his was watching it. I thought they handled the timeline pretty well and her journal entries. For some reason I felt like there were some things missing at the end or were different. But overall I liked it though, obviously with this kind of story that depends on a twist, reading the book takes that shock element away but it was fun to watch with someone who had no idea.
Rating: 3.5/5
"This inspiring tale of survival is based on the real-life experiences of Louis Zamperini, an American pilot held by the Japanese during World War II. After his plane crashes into the Pacific Ocean, Zamperini spends 47 days adrift before his capture."
Will and I went on a date to the movie tavern to see this one. We liked it though weirdly I did not feel a MAJOR emotional connection like I expected to (though I did get teary eyed in some places). It was hard to watch at times with all the hardships he had to endure (being lost at sea + Japanese POW camp) but it did drag at some parts I thought. His story was harrowing and very inspiring and made me do some reading up on him after I saw the movie. I felt more emotional reading about him than I did watching the film. Overall I liked the film but felt it needed more to be the masterpiece it tried to be.
Rating: 3/5
"When near-death experiences on the same day motivate estranged twins Milo and Maggie to reunite, they're forced to reevaluate their empty lives as they attempt to mend the long-broken bond between them."
I really liked this one! Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader were great together! SO great. Their chemistry as siblings is what made the movie. I don't think I've really watched anything with Luke Wilson in it since Bottle Rocket so that was a nice surprise because he's great and he played a GREAT supporting role! This movie is so my kind of humor. That's for sure. As funny as it was, it explores some heavy topics like depression and suicide in a pretty raw way plus some of their past that is explored is pretty heavy and definitely was palpable while watching. ALSO, Kristen Wiig always does the best lip-synching (Bridesmaids anyone??)
Rating: 4/5
"A young American falls hard for a Romanian cellist whose father has recently died — and whose violent past could bring about his own demise."
This one was a let down because it had all the makings to be a Jamie movie but I just didn't care. It started out interesting and I was like "ooh I'm going to like this!" and then it just held my attention less and less. I finished it and was just like, "sooo that was interesting?". I will say Shia's performance was VERY impressive as was the cinematography but mannn I couldn't handle this one. I like weird, quirky and offbeat movies but this one was annoying mostly because I hated the romance.
Rating: 2/5
"Two Mississippi teens meet peculiar drifter Mud and get caught up in his web of tall tales about lost love, crimes of passion and bounty hunters."
I loooove Matthew McConaughey and also Reese Witherspoon so I was excited to watch this one. The setting was this thick, gritty entity in it of itself. I could feel the mugginess and the sweat pouring off my forehead. And Mud was this intriguing character who regaled me with his tales just as much as he did the young boys. I thought the acting was just all around great in this coming of age story! This one REALLY surprised me and I ended up falling in love with it.
Rating: 4/5
TV I Watched On Netflix
House of Cards Season 3: AHHH I LOVE THIS SHOW. I will say this season was my least favorite but those last couple episodes killed it. It's SUCH a different season compared to 1 & 2. It's more political maneuvering and not as much of what it was before though it was obviously going to be like that with him becoming President. Kevin Spacey continues to dazzle me.
Sherlock: I HATE EVERYONE WHO LET ME WATCH THIS AND DIDN'T TELL ME IT WAS ONLY 3 SEASONS AND 4 WON'T BE OUT UNTIL LIKE MAYBE 2016?!?!? I really liked season 1 but season 2 and 3 were PHENOMENAL. I was hooked. SOO HOOKED. Benedict Cumberbatch is BRILLIANT (same goes for Martin Freeman) and I MIGHT DIE IF I DON'T GET MORE. It's just full of surprises and it just delights me. Their chemistry is just so PERFECT.
Have you seen any of these movies/shows? What did you think? Have any recommendations for me??

Finland Essay, Research Paper
Finland has a common border with Sweden, Norway and Russia. The bedrock of Finland is over 1,5 billion years old, making it some of the oldest in the world. Three quarters of the area of Finland lies on granite, which breaks through the surface so often that the granite has become the symbol for the whole country. The total area of Finland is about 338 square km, and it is the fifth largest country in Europe. 306 square km of Finland is land and 32 square km is water. Finland lies between the 60th and 70th parallels, with a third of its area lying north of the Arctic Circle. It is the second most northern country in the world after Iceland. Most of the population of Finland live in the southern third of the country, either along the coast on the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland or around the edges of the numerous lakes. The highest point in Finland is Haltitunturi Fell in Northwest Lapland, which is 1.328 metres above the sea level. It is the Country of 187888 Lakes. The largest of which, Great Saimaa, has a total area of 4.4 square km and is the fourth largest in Europe. Finnish Lapland, with an area of 100 square km has the largest wilderness areas in the whole of Europe. Finland is rightly known as a land of forests as they cover roughly three quarters of the country's surface area. Because Finland is sparsely populated area, there is lot of wild and unpolluted nature. Finland contains some of the last wilderness areas in Europe. In addition to the huge amount of lakes, Finland contains more islands than any other country in the world. In a recent count, the total number of islands in Finland was 179584. Forty-five percent are in the Baltic Sea, making the archipelago one of the densest in the world. The principal archipelago lies off the southwest coast.
Finland has four clearly distinguishable seasons, much alike Canada?s. One should not be misled by the northern position of Finland. Due to the closeness of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf Stream, but having a relatively dry climate, Finland often feels warmer than the actual temperature might suggest. The climate is marked by cold winters and warm summers. The summer lasts for 3 months, from June to August. On a warm day the temperature can be 25-30? C. The average summer temperature is 18? C. The first snowfall is usually in December and the heaviest snowfall occurs in March. The lakes and rivers may be frozen for nearly half a year. In the summer months, north of the Arctic circle, Lapland basks in 24 hours of daylight (known as the midnight sun, or white nights of summer), which lasts for about 73 days, while in winter a blue-tinged darkness falls, with the sun sinking below the horizon for 51 days. This sunless period is called "kaamos", the Arctic night. At that time in Rovaniemi, the sun rises above the horizon for just a couple of hours. Although the sun is out of sight for weeks, Lapland does not fall into total darkness even in the deepest depths of winter. The snow on the ground enhances the light of the moon and the stars, and sometimes the or northern lights flicker across the sky. The frosts can be very severe in the heart of winter, but periods of extreme cold are usually brief, and for most of the winter all kinds of outdoor activities are possible. In the northernmost parts of Lapland, snow may still lie thick on the ground in late April or early May.
The population of Finland is approximately 5,132,000, and one of the most sparsely populated countries in Europe, with 16 inhabitants per square km. Population density is 16 people per square kilometer. The urban population is 62%, while about 38% remain in a rural environment. Although cities are never located far from a forest. Helsinki has a population of 525,031. The Helsinki metropolitan region is home to roughly a sixth of the country's total population. Finland's population has adapted to life under peripheral conditions in the north. Finns make up 35% of the world's population north of latitude 60?N. In 1995 the average life expectancy for females was 80 years and for males 72 years. In 1995 there were 1.4 million families in Finland. Among families with children the average number of offspring was 1.8. Finland's population figures increase very slowly. The contribution of natural population growth to the increase is falling and net migration is the strongest effect on population growth. Finland, formerly a source of emigrants, is now becoming a destination for immigrants. The birth rate and natural population growth is higher in the north of Finland than it is in the south.
There are many language groups in Finland: the Finnish, the Finland Swedish (from the coastal area and the Aland islands), the Sami (spoken by the Samis of Lapland, a minority of 2,000 people with guaranteed rights to their own language and sources of livelihood) and the Romany. There are two official languages – Finnish and Swedish. 93.5% of the total population is Finnish speaking, 5.9% is Swedish speaking and 0.6% speak other languages. A very interesting aspect of the Finnish tongue is that everything is spelt just as it sounds. For example, photo in English is pronounced the same way in Finn, but is spelt foto. The Finnish language is a member of the Finno-Ugric linguistic family that includes, in one branch, Finnish, Estonian and a number of other Finnic tongues and, in the other, Hungarian, by far the biggest language of the Ugric group. The official standing of Swedish has historical roots in the period when Finland was part of the Swedish realm, a status that began at the beginning of the 13th century and lasted until 1809. The number of foreign citizens living permanently in Finland was about 69,000 in 1995, the biggest groups coming from the neighboring countries, Russia, Estonia and Sweden.
Finland first became an independent republic on Dec. 6, 1917. In 1918 a civil war broke out where the Reds fought against the Whites. The fierce civil war ended soon with the victory of the Whites and Finland became a Democratic Republic. The highest authority in Finland is the 200-member Parliament elected every four years. The Government and the President are the chief executives. The head of state is the President of the Republic who is elected for a period of six years at a time and may serve a maximum of only two consecutive terms. The present President is Martti Ahtisaari, who was elected in February 1994, and whose term in office lasts until the year 2000. The President is chosen by direct popular vote, with a run-off between the two leading candidates if no candidate wins an outright majority on the first ballot. The biggest parties are the Social Democrats, the Coalition Party and the Centre Party. As a result of a referendum Finland is a member of the European Community as of 1995. The semi-autonomous province of the Aland Islands occupies a special position because it has been declared a demilitarized area under international law. Finland was the second country in the world to grant women the right to vote and was one of the first countries to introduce the eight-hour working day. As elsewhere in Scandinavia, there is a highly developed social welfare system, like free medical care and education.
Finnish economy is on its way to recovery after the depression in the early 1990s. Unemployment is the most serious problem burdening the Finnish economy. As of January 31, 1997, the unemployment rate in Finland was 17.8%. Finland has embarked on the road to industrialization by harnessing its forest resources. Today, forests are still Finland's most crucial raw material resource, although the metal and engineering industry has long been Finland's leading branch of manufacturing both in terms of value added and as an employer. Today, Finland is a typical advanced industrial economy with two thirds of its total output is generated in the service sector. The net wealth of Finnish households is close to the average for the European Union. In 1994 Finland's annual household income was $18,845 US while the average for other European Union countries was $19,529 US. More than ninety per cent of industrial establishments are in private Finnish ownership. The services employ 57% of the labour force, industry and construction 33%, and agriculture and forestry 10%. Finland's most important trading partners are Germany, Sweden, Great Britain, and the United States. Finland used to be known as a high cost area, but the changes in economy has lowered costs. Prices for industrial electric energy are now among the lowest in Europe, and long distance calls within Finland are the third cheapest in Europe. The changes in currency rates have made Finland an attractive choice for travelers. Infrastructure (telecommunications, power supply, water supply, roads) are highly developed. The number of mobile phones per population is among highest in Europe. Finland is safe country to live or invest, thanks to stable social order, low rate of crimes and good relations to east
and west. Finland's economy is modern and developed, based on free competition on markets.
Finnish banks are in a difficult situation because of the large number of credit losses resulting from the depression. The state has had to support the banks with tens of billions of markkas. The state economy is showing a large deficit and the state gets deeper and deeper in debt. Economy measures have been taken to reduce the state expenses. Joining the European Community has been considered to bring about a rapid development of economy, but the transition period will be very difficult for the countryside.
The currency in Finland is the markka, or Finnish mark (FIM) which is dividable into 100 pennies. There are 1000 mk, 500 mk, 100 mk, 50 mk and 20 mk notes and 10 mk, 5 mk, 1 mk, 50 p. and 10 p. coins. As of May 2nd, 1998 there were dollar equals 5.1 FIM. Currency can be changed in banks or in private currency exchange points.
Finnish sauna traditions go back over 2000 years and nowadays there are about 2 million saunas in the country. For a Finn it means an elementary part of everyday life. Ever since childhood, Finnish people learn to bathe in sauna, usually at least once a week. The Sauna is a significant part of the Finnish heritage. A traditional Finnish sauna is a wooden room, which is heated to 75-100? C. A Finnish sauna is like this : The basic parts are the stove ("kiuas"), filled with fist-sized stones, and the benches or platforms ("lauteet"), made of wood. There are usually two benches, one of which is higher and the other one lower, placed to rest your feet on. The stove is traditionally fueled by wood, but electrically heated saunas are common due to their safe, easy and clean use. The average sauna has room for 3-6 people at a time. The air is not particularly humid, there is no steam. and when you feel like it, you throw some water on the stones to increase humidity. This causes the water to vaporize very quickly, and it makes the bathers feel a momentary breath of hot air in their backs. Anyone who has any amount of Fin in their blood can complain about "fake saunas". So-called ?saunas that are heated just by a wood stove. Those are heated rooms, and any attempt of passing them off as a sauna will result in utter contempt by the Finnish society. People do not wear any clothes in sauna. There is also a separate washing and a dressing room. There are tens of thousands of saunas in Finland that are located at lakesides. In this case you can also go swimming in the lake and cool off on the porch. Some Finns jump naked into the snow and roll around in winter time. During the Depression, especially through the winter, Finnish settlers in Thunder Bay took in other Finns who couldn?t afford their own places to stay. These men would stay in the sauna and do odd jobs around the house or farms. Women used to give birth in saunas a long time ago, but not any more.
There has been complete freedom of worship in Finland since 1923. The Evangelical Lutheran Church is the country's biggest denomination – 88% of the people are baptized as Lutherans while just under 1% belong to the Finnish Orthodox Church. Both denominations are designated as state churches. Although Christianity had probably reached Finland before the end of the first millennium, it was not until the 12th century that the Roman Catholic Church became established.
Finland is committed to the values of freedom, democracy and human rights. Since the second World War it is not a member of any military alliance and therefore maintains an independent defense capability. But Finland has also signed a Partnership for Peace agreement with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and has observer status in the Western European Union (the initial defense arm of the European Union) and in the North Atlantic Cooperation Council. Cooperation within the Nordic Council covers a wide range of social, cultural and technical matters of interest to its five members: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. After a lengthy period of involvement in the process of European integration Finland applied to join the European Economic Community in 1992 and on January 1st 1995 became a member of the European Union. Since becoming a member of the United Nations in 1955 Finland has taken part in many of the world organization?s peacekeeping operations. There is no passport requirement for citizens of the five Nordic countries traveling within Scandinavia.
Finland has 56 newspapers that are published 4 to 7 times a week and 172 with 1 to 3 issues per week. The total circulation of all newspapers is 3.6 million. In terms of total circulation relative to population Finland ranks second in Europe and third in the world, after Norway and Japan. Most newspapers are bought on subscription rather than from newsstands. There are 2,585 registered periodicals with a total circulation of approximately 17.4 million. There is also The Finnish Broadcasting Company, YLE, which is the biggest national radio and television service provider. YLE is a non-commercial public service broadcaster. It operates two television channels with full national coverage. The second biggest television broadcaster, the privately owned Commercial MTV3, has one nationwide channel. There are also some thirty local TV stations, that mainly relay foreign and domestic programs over cable and radio waves in addition to locally produced material.
In Finland, compulsory school attendance requires the completion of an education which starts at the age of 7 and continues for 10 years or until the pupil has finished school. All children must attend between the ages of 7 and 16. Education beyond the age of 16 is voluntary, taking the form of either a three-year course in upper secondary school or a 2 to 5 year course at a vocational school. There are 20 universities or other institutes of higher education, with a total student population of 130,865, of whom 52% are women. Compulsory education also applies to handicapped children. For children who are unable to study at a normal comprehensive school, compulsory education begins at the age of 6 and lasts for 11 years. Handicapped children receive special teaching, or attend special classes or special schools, depending on the nature of their disability. The entire age group completes compulsory education, only 0.04% fail to receive a graduating certificate.
Comprehensive school education lasts for 9 years. It is divided into a six-year lower stage, identical internationally to primary education, and a three-year upper stage, similar to lower secondary education. After their comprehensive school pupils have the option to take an extra tenth grade to improve their chances for further education. All comprehensive school graduates are equally eligible for further studies. Teachers must hold a master's degree from a university. The class teachers, who teach most of the subjects at the lower stage, takes a degree in education. The subject teachers must have a degree in their special subject and their degree course must have included teacher training.

An appeal by by the RSPB (Society for protection of birds) against further expansion to the airport was overturned in the High Court. This was the final hurdle of many years of battles to prevent any expansion but now works on the runway extension and the new terminal build can commence. After the hearing the representatives from the RSPB agreed they would be working closely with the airport team to ensure all interests are met.
I still maintain that birds being more adept at creating accommodation than humans and the fact that the whole area of the wildlife site has expanded from the time when the airport was at its busiest, there will be little disruption to their current way of life. We had similar complaints when motorways were to 'scour the face of the land' and ruin wildlife but as it turned out the no mans land between motorways have become a haven for all forms of wildlife. Humans were against gravel extraction but as we have seen 30 years on we have even more wildlife (birds) visiting the area simply because of these artificial lakes.

Letter writing given a new lease of life thanks to new Lettr smartphone app
Here's a question for you: when was the last time you sat down and wrote a well thought out, beautifully written letter? I'm willing to bet that it was so long ago that you can't remember. You might even be whispering the word "never".
The sad truth is that either of those responses is completely understandable, because thanks to digital technology the ways in which we write has radically transformed in the past 15 years. Emails, texts, tweets, Facebook… today's communication options are endless and, boy, they are fast. So fast in fact, that it is diminishing the quality of our long-distance communications.
As a writer, it pains me to see that the demand for faster ways of staying in touch is becoming more highly valued than the quality of the actual writing. Expressing your thoughts in a 140-character tweet or a Facebook posting is what your friends want, and they want it five minutes ago. Sadly, that demand for immediacy is discouraging us all to practise the dying art of letter writing. That is, at least, until recently…
The traditional letter makes a comeback online
Lettrs is a web-based service turned iOS app that lets you write letters on your phone or tablet and send them out physically to your recipient. This brilliant blend of old and new takes the classic letter writing format and gives it a new lease of life for a 21st century generation.
Mobile voice, data and pictures can all be added to your digital letter, which can then be turned into a paper post letter. You can personalise your user-experience by choosing from more than 20 fonts and themes. Essentially, it's no different than typing an email, but knowing that it will be physically printed encourages you to put a bit more thought into what you are writing.
A letter says more
Write using Lettrs and you can have it printed on linen paper and the envelope that it is sent in is hand-addressed, scented and sealed with wax. It's a more thoughtful mode of personal communication than anything else digital, and the efforts are more rewarding for both the writer and reader.
Drew Bartkiewicz is the founder of Lettrs and a few months ago he told online blog Mashable why he wanted to start this project, "I hope people will choose to take time to create a 'lettr' when more purposeful words are desired, but with the efficiencies of mobile and social firmly intact."
"Implicit with the phrase 'I sent you a letter' is the notion that someone took time to choose more deliberate words, more completed thoughts," Bartkiewicz says. "And the words of a letter delightfully exist without a 'reply' button hanging over them.
Fighting back against bad spelling and gramer grammar
Lettrs will also be offering a school program called Literacy Through Letters that teaches today's generations about the aspirations of good letter writing.
"Because lettrs exists within their world — digital, social and mobile — we believe we can improve the way students communicate with each other and us 'older people' in perhaps more valuable ways," Bartkiewicz says. "We hope lettrs becomes a place that students choose when they have something more complete, purposeful and lasting to say."
You can find out more about Lettrs by visiting its Apple iTunes Preview Page.
